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.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

? Governor.

[16th January, 1893.] 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.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

Preamble.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JANUARY, 1893.

Definition.

Loans to be raised by Inscribed Stock.

Loans to be

a charge upon General

Revenue.

Borrowing upon In- scribed Stock

When the

principal is to be repaid.

Mode of pro- viding for payment of Interest and Principal.

Investment

of Sinking Fund.

Any deficiency in Sinking Fund to be made good out of General Revenues.

Expenses to be paid out of Sinking Fund.

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─

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 Le 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 behalf by the Crown Agents when issuing the Stock, such date not being later than fifty years from the date of issue. From and after which date all interest on the principal moneys secured thereby shall cease and determine whether payment of the principal shall have been demanded or not.

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 due. 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 hereinbefore 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 may, 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.

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- ng Securities or by urchase 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.

14. So much of the Sinking Funds as may be released shall be converted into money and paid by the Trustees to the Crown Agents for the credit of Hongkong to be disposed of in such manner as the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council, may direct.

15. The Crown Agents may from time to time, at the request of the Governor, make arrangements for all or any of the following things:-

(a) No such marriage shall be celebrated unless both the parties are able to signify their consent thereto and do so in presence of two witnesses. (b) No such marriage shall be celebrated where either of the parties is under twenty-one years of age, not being a widower or widow, unless the per- son whose consent is required is present and gives his or her consent verbally.

(c) No such marriage shall be valid which would be null and void on the ground of kindred or affinity, in England.

(d) The minister celebrating any such marriage shall, within 7 days from the celebration thereof, for- ward to the Registrar General a certificate in the form in the Schedule hereto. Such certi- ficate shall be signed by such minister and where practicable by the persons so married and by the witnesses to the marriage, and if either of the parties is unable to sign the minis- ter shall certify accordingly. The Registrar General shall file such certificate in his Office. No marriage celebrated under the provisions of this Ordi- nance shall be valid unless the foregoing conditions are observed.

3. No marriage in articulo mortis shall revoke any Will or Codicil previously made by either of the parties to such marriage, but such Will or Codicil shall have the same validity as if such marriage had not taken place.

4. (1) Whosoever shall knowingly celebrate any mar- riage in purported pursuance of this Ordinance contrary to or not in accordance with any provision thereof and who- soever not being legally competent shall celebrate any mar- riage under this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemea- nour and upon conviction thereof before the Supreme Court shall be liable to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding 2 years with or without hard labour.

WOOSUNG INNER BAR.

"Feima Channel:" precautions to be taken to prevent collisions.

Notice is hereby given that the depth in the fairway of the "Feima Channel" (as the passage between the wreck of the S.S. "FEIMA" and the right or Pheasant Point bank of the river is called) is at present greater by 2 feet than the depth signaled for the line of the old Woosung Inner Bar Marks.

Two poles on the left or western bank of the river-the low one near the river carrying a triangular mark, and the high one, further inland, a diamond-shaped mark-when kept in line, indicate the fairway course through this new channel.

In order to facilitate traffic and prevent accidents it is recommended that the following Rules be observed by all vessels approaching the Woosung Inner Bar:-

1.-Vessels intending to pass through the "Feima Channel" should hoist "V" of the International Code (a white flag with a red diagonal cross) at the fore; inward bound vessels to display it on passing the Woosung Spit Buoy, and outward bound ones to display it on passing the upper end of Gough Island.

2.--Not more than one vessel at a time should attempt to pass through the "Feima Channel" or over the shoalest

part of the Bar, in the line of the old Bar Marks.

3.-Vessels approaching the Bar when the signals show sufficient water for them to cross on the line of the old bar

marks, should not use the "Feima Channel" but leave it free for larger vessels.

4.-A very careful look out should be kept by all vessels approaching the Bar, and those having the tide against them should wait for those going with the tide to pass first; also a vessel overtaking another should regulate her speed so as to allow the one ahead to get clear of the Bar first.

As the bed of the river in the vicinity of the Bar is liable to frequent changes, Captains and Pilots wishing to obtain the latest information as to depth of water, etc., should apply either at the Harbour Master's Office, Shanghai, or to the Berthing Officer in charge of the Woosung Signal Station.

DRAFT BILL ·

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend "The Hongkong

W

Code of Civil Procedure."

HEREAS it is expedient to amend the Hongkong Code of Civil Procedure so far as relates to suits by and against persons carrying on business in names other than their own.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:

1. Section XIV. of the Hongkong Code of Civil Pro- cedure is hereby repealed but such repeal shall not affect anything done or suffered thereunder, nor any suit or pro- ceeding to which this Ordinance does not apply.

2. In lieu of the section hereby repealed the following section shall be read and substituted, viz. :-

---

Proceedings by or against Firms.

XIV. (1) Any two or more persons claiming or being liable as co-partners and carrying on business within the jurisdiction may sue or be sued in the name of the respective firms, if any, of which such persons were co-partners at the time of the accruing of the cause of ac on; and any party to a suit may in such case apply by summons to a judge for a statement of the names and addresses of the persons who were, at the time of the accruing of the cause of action, co-partners in any such firm, to be furnished in such manner, and verified on oath or otherwise, as the Judge may direct.

(2) When a writ is sued out by partners in the name of their firm, the plaintiffs or their solicitors shall, on demand in writing by or on behalf of any defendant, forthwith declare in writing the names and places of residence of all the persons constituting the firm on whose behalf the suit is brought. And if the plaintiffs or their solicitors shall fail to comply with such demand, all proceedings in the suit may, upon an application for that purpose, be stayed upon such terms as the Court or a Judge may direct. And when the names of the partners are so declared, the suit shall proceed in the same manner and the same consequences in all respects shall follow as if they had been named as the plaintiffs in the writ. But all the proceedings shall, never- theless, continue in the name of the firm.

(3) Where persons are sued as partners in the name of their firm under sub-section (1), the writ shall be served either upon any one or more of the partners or at the prin- cipal place, within the jurisdiction, of the business of the partnership upon any person having at the time of service the control or management of the partnership business there; and, subject to this section, such service shall be deemed good service upon the firm so sued, whether any of the members thereof are out of the jurisdiction or not, pro- vided that in the case of a co-partnership which has been dissolved to the knowledge of the plaintiff before the com- mencement of the suit, the writ of summons shall be served upon every person within the jurisdiction sought to be made liable.

(4) Where a writ is issued against a firm, and is served as directed by sub-section (3), every person upon whom it is served may be informed by notice in writing given at the time of such service whether he is served as a partner or as a person having the control or management of the part- nership business, or in both characters. In default of such notice, the person served shall be deemed to be served as a partner.

(5) Where persons are sued as partners in the name of their firm, they shall appear individually in their own names; but all subsequent proceedings shall, nevertheless, continue in the name of the firm.

(6) Where a writ is served under sub-section (3) upon a person having the control or management of the partner- ship business, no appearance by him shall be necessary unless he is a member of the firm sued.

(7) Any person served as a partner under sub-section (3) may enter an appearance under protest, denying that he is a partner, but such appearance shall not preclude the plaintiff from otherwise serving the firm and obtaining judg- ment against the firm in default of appearance if no partner has entered an appearance in the ordinary form.

(8) Where a judgment or order is against a firm, execu- tion may issue-

(a) Against any property of the partnership withiu

the jurisdiction;

(b) Against any person who has appeared in his own name under sub-section (5) or (6), or who has admitted on the pleadings that he is, or who has been adjudged to be a partner;

(c) Against any person who has been individually served, as a partner, with the writ of summons, and has failed to appear.

If the party who has obtained judgment or an order claims to be entitled to issue execution against any other person as being a member of the firm, he may apply to the Court or a Judge for leave so to do; and the Court or Judge may give such leave if the liability be not disputed, or if such liability be disputed may order that the liability of such person be tried and determined in any manner in which any issue or question in a suit may be tried and determined. But except as against any property of the partnership, a judg- ment against a firm shall not render liable, release, or other- wise affect any member thereof who was residing out of the jurisdiction when the writ was issued, and who has not been served with or appeared to the writ.

(9) Debts owing from a firm carrying on business within the jurisdiction may be attached under section 76 of the Code of Civil Procedure, although one or more members of such firm may be resident abroad; provided that any person having the control or management of the partnership business or any member of the firm within the jurisdiction is served with a prohibitory order. An appearance by any member pursuant to an order shall be a sufficient appearance by the firm.

(10) The provisions of this Section shall apply to suits between a firm and one or more of its members, and to suits between firms having one or more members in common, provided such firm or firms carry on business within the jurisdiction, but no execution shall be issued in such suits without leave of the Court or a Judge, and on an application for leave to issue such execution all such accounts and inquiries may be directed to be taken and made, and directions given, as may be just.

(11) Any person carrying on business within the juris- diction in a name or style other than his own name may be sued in such name or style as if it were a firm name; and, so far as the nature of the case will permit, all the provi- sions of the said Code and of this Section relating to proceedings against firms shall apply.

3. This Ordinance shall apply to all suits in the Supreme Court commenced on or after the 1893.

Objects and Reasons.

Proceedings by and against partnership firms have, in this Colony, since 1873, been regulated by Section 14 of the Hongkong Code of Civil Procedure.

That law has not worked quite satisfactorily. In England a new set of Rules dealing fully with this subject came into operation on 1st July, 1891.

The embodiment of those Rules in the Hongkong Code, in lieu of Section 14, seems a desirable improvement in our law and this Bill, which has been submitted to the Judges of the Supreme Court and approved by them, effects that object. This amendment of the Code should amongst other thing's facilitate the collection of debts from Chinese firms trading, as they often do, under styles which do not reveal the names of the partners.

The following Memorial respecting Gaol Extension, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.

SIR,

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th January, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG, 6th January, 1893.

We beg most respectfully to thank you for having given us an opportunity to express our views on the question of the Gaol extension-an opportunity which we gladly avail ourselves of inasmuch as we and the overwhelming majority of the other members of the Chinese community are strongly opposed to the Gaol being extended in any way for the following reasons:-

J. Because the accommodation provided by the existing buildings is ample, so much so that the prisoners have more space allowed them than they have ever had when not in prison. In a word, they are far better off in gaol than out of it.

2. Because the Gaol is already looked upon as a paradise by many a rascal, and situated as we are within a stone's throw of the Chinese territory, any extension of the Gaol will certainly lead to an influx of bad characters from China.

3. Because we differ from the view of those who allege that the separate system will act as a deterrent to Chinese prisoners. We have no hesitation in saying that such an opinion must be formed through ignorance of the habits of the Chinese criminals who will be in no way deterred by having to live in separate cells.

4. Because the gaols in China, to which the Chinese criminals who come to Hongkong have always been accustomed, cannot be in any way compared with the Gaol in Hongkong. They are so arranged that bad characters are afraid of committing crimes in case they may be lodged in them. The present Victoria Gaol does not inspire much fear, and it would inspire still less if made more comfortable which would most certainly lead to an increase of crime, as criminals will have no dread of entering it.

5. Because we are of the opinion that the most efficacious way to prevent persons from committing crimes in the Colony is not to enlarge the Gaol but to use more freely the power of banishment and the rattan, and to make the prisoners' life not so much a life of ease as it is at present.

In conclusion, we beg to point out that being Chinese ourselves, it is not likely that we would discourage the Government from doing anything for the real benefit of our own countrymen, which would be of advantage to the Chinese community generally. But, in the present instance, being convinced that the extension of the Gaol would bring harm to the community, and would lead to a large influx of criminals into the Colony, and a great increase in crime, we feel compelled to sincerely state our views, which we trust His Excellency the Governor may be pleased to consider favourably.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servants,

 The following Correspondence respecting the proposed Loan, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th January, 1893.

G. T. M. O'Brien, Colonial Secretary.

To the Secretary of State for the Colonies, No. 39 of 2nd February, 1892.

MY LORD,

I have the honour to transmit for Your Lordship's consideration copy of the* speech I addressed to the Legislative Council on its re-assembling on the. 25th ultimo.

From this document Your Lordship will observe that I do not concur in the opinion expressed by Major-General BARKER that the necessity for raising a loan has not yet arisen. When the Committee referred to in my speech has reported, I will address Your Lordship again on the subject.

I have, &c.,

WILLIAM ROBINSON.

To the Secretary of State for the Colonies, No. 140 of 19th April, 1892.

MY LORD,

With reference to my despatch, No. 39 of the 2nd of February last, I have the honour to transmit for Your Lordship's information copies of the report* of the Committee of the Legislative Council which I appointed to consider the advisability of raising a public loan.

Although I do not agree with the conclusion arrived at by the Committee, yet in view of the financial authority of most of its members, I decided not to press the matter further immediately. I am nevertheless quite satisfied that the raising of a loan cannot be deferred longer than a few months, and that it will be found more advantageous to raise the loan in gold in London than locally in silver; and I have therefore to suggest, with a view to avoiding delay whenever it may be decided to raise the loan, that the Crown Agents be now desired to state all the particulars which are not already in their possession and which they will require to enable them to draw up the prospectus of the loan.

I have, &c.,

WILLIAM ROBINSON.

To the Governor of Hongkong, No. 200 of 29th July, 1892.

No. 39 of 2nd February. No. 140 of 19th April.

SIR,

I have had under my consideration your despatches noted in the margin, and have decided to sanction the raising of a loan by the Hongkong Government of an amount not exceeding two hundred thousand pounds for the purpose of con- structing those of the proposed public works which it is most urgently necessary to proceed with.

* Already presented to the Council.

2. The works which may be charged wholly or partially to the loan are the completion of the Central Market, the Praya Reclamation, and the Water and Sewage undertakings which have already been begun or are in contemplation, and also the improvements of the Gaol accommodation which are under consideration.

3. It will be desirable that the money should be raised by Inscribed Stock, and not by Debentures as was the case with the last loan. I enclose drafts of the following documents which the Crown Agents have prepared at my request with a view to raising a loan in that manner and converting the existing Debenture issue, viz. :-

(1) General loan and Inscribed Stock Ordinance;

(2) Order in Council authorising the Crown Agents to make the decla- ration identifying the Stock under the provisions of the Colonial Stock Act 1877;

(3) Declaration by the Governor under the provisions of the General Loan and Inscribed Stock Act as to conversion of existing loans; (4) Request to Crown Agents to act as Agents for management of

Inscribed Stock and Conversions;

(5) Ordinance authorising an issue under the General Loan and Inscribed Stock Ordinance, where the contribution to the sinking fund is to commence from the date of issue of the stock; and (6) Ordinance authorising an issue under the General Loan and Inscribed Stock Ordinance, where the date of commencement of contributions to the sinking fund is deferred.

4. It is important to adhere closely to the wording of the enclosed drafts, more especially as regards Nos. (2), (3) and (4). As the public works to be con- structed under the loan now authorised will not be immediately remunerative, it may

be well to use the form of Ordinance which defers the contribution to the sinking fund, and to allow such contributions to commence (say) three years after the date on which the interest begins to accrue. The Ordinance should state that the loan is "for the purpose of constructing the public works set forth in the schedule to this Ordinance," and the works specified in paragraph 2 of the present despatch or such of them as you decide to charge to the loan should be mentioned in the said schedule.

5. With reference to the last paragraph of your despatch No. 140 of 19th April last, I have to request you to furnish the Crown Agents with the following particulars, viz.: the statistics of revenue and expenditure and the amount of the shipping at Hongkong for the last ten years, and for the first half of the current year, and the present amount of the public debt.

6. I should have wished that the issue could have been deferred, but as the balances are already exhausted, and as the existing commercial depression would preclude the realization of assets by the sale of land, any further postponement of this step may be undesirable.

7. In any case I should not be prepared to approve the suggestion made by the Committee that further advances should be obtained from the local banks. The disadvantages of that method of raising money, and the comparative advantage (on the whole) of borrowing in this country in gold when borrowing becomes necessary, were pointed out in the Secretary of State's despatches No. 5 of the 30th June, 1885, and No. 21 of the 2nd February, 1886.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1893.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 20th January, 1893.

 SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls for the year 1892.

 2. I entirely concur with the observations of the Headmistress, Mrs. BATEMAN, to whose patient industry and wise discretion the success so far obtained is largely due. The Annual Examination has shewn satisfactory results as stated in the enclosed report. Good progress has been made in both the English and Chinese classes, and the moral tone of the whole School has been considerably raised.

 3. The School is in urgent need of enlarged accommodation and a corresponding increase in the staff, but, I am afraid, both these wants will have to remain unsatisfied until the close of the present year when the building, now in course of construction at the expense of the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS, will become available.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary, &c., &c.

E. J. EITEL, Ph. D., Inspector of Schools.

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOol for Girls, HONGKONG, 20th January, 1893.

 SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Third Annual Report of the Government Central School for Girls.

 At the close of the year 1892, there were 93 children in regular attendance. The present building is too small to accommodate more children without positive over-crowding. Teachers and scholars alike are therefore eagerly anticipating the comfort and advantages they will derive in the near future from the commodious and handsome new building now so rapidly nearing completion.

 As many as 139 children have been entered on the Register during the year and attended for some time. Some, however, remained in the School but a short period. This is chiefly owing to the fluctuating character of that portion of the population of Hongkong for which this School is specially intended. The attendance of those whose parents' remain in the Colony has been most regular, and their diligence very satisfactory. The School is periodically visited and annually examined by the Inspector of Schools, and the results of the examination have been pronounced satisfactory, particularly in English Grammar, Composition, Arithmetic and History. The Chinese classes, attendance at which is optional, have been appreciated by the parents, but it is difficult to find suitable teachers for girls. The needlework classes, for both English and Chinese work, have been well attended and special tuition has been secured for Chinese embroidery for which there is great demand.

 It is evident that the School has made some progress in its several divisions, and particularly in the infant department. Judging from the fact that all classes of the community are now represented among the scholars and that the attendance is on a level with the capabilities of our accommodation and staff, I am satisfied that the School is popularly appreciated as answering a public want. Nevertheless I feel that the development of the School has been somewhat interfered with by various difficulties it encountered during the year. There have been several changes in the teaching staff. In April Mrs. LEONG, Assistant Mistress of the Lower School and MILLY LEONG pupil teacher of the same, resigned their positions. These vacancies were most ably filled by Mrs. DAVIS and LIZZIE TURNER respectively. In December, greatly to my regret, Mrs. DAVIS also resigned in order to accept an appointment in Singapore which had been offered to her and which, she felt, gave her a wider sphere of usefulness. Mrs. TUTCHER, a Certificated Infant Mistress, has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. DAVIS. Similar changes have occurred also in the Chinese department of the School. The progress and expansion of the Institution has naturally been impeded by these fluctuations in the Staff and in the attendance of the School.

I have the honour to be, Sir;

The Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G.,

‧ Colonial Secretary, &c., &c.

Your most obedient Servant,

E. A. BATEMAN,

Headmistress.

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 mean temperature was below the average from the 14th to the 24th. The coldest day (air 35°.2, damp bulb 32°.8) was the 16th. The lowest mean temperature of the damp-bulb thermometer occurred on the 17th (air 36°.2, damp bulb 30°.9). Circumstances were anti-cyclonic with probably abnormally slight decrease of temperature with height. Snow-storms were reported from China to the north and east of the Colony. From Macao snow was reported, but that appears to have really con- sisted of small-sized hail, which fell for 4 hours. Neither snow nor hail were seen in Hongkong, but the tops of the hills appeared to be covered by snow or hoar-frost. Water exposed in buckets or in pools was several mornings found covered with ice about 4 inch thick, and a few hundred feet above sea-level both the grass and branches of trees, being cooled below the temperature of the air (which did not fall below freezing point) owing to evaporation and radiation, were encased in unusually clear and transparent ice without any appearance of crystallisation. As far south as the Straits Settlements the cold was felt but in a less degree. The temperature appears not to have fallen below 70° in Singapore. At sea strong N breezes were observed during the greatest cold. The Colony was sheltered by the mainland and only light N breezes were registered till the 20th, when the wind backed to W. It veered to E on the 21st. During the coldest days the pressure was from one to two tenths of an inch of mercury above the mean. The sky was overcast but cleared on the evening of the 17th. Owing to radiation the extreme temperatures occurred after this epoch: the lowest air-temperature 32°.0 about 7 a. on the 18th, and the lowest damp-bulb temperature 27°.7 about 2.30 a. on the same day.

No. 24.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

POLICE DEPARTMENT,

CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 19th January, 1893.

 SIR, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Police Report for the year 1892.

 2. The total number of cases brought to the notice of the Police during the year was 9,730 against 10,869 in 1891, being a decrease of 1,139 cases, or a decrease of 10.47 per cent.

Subdivided into serious and minor offences (so-called) there were in 1892, 2,983 cases of the former class against 2,994 in 1891, shewing a decrease of 11 cases or 0.36 per cent., and in the latter class 6,747 cases against 7,875 in 1891, giving a decrease of 1.128 cases or a decrease of 14.32 per cent. 3. During the year there were 3 cases of murder, the victims being a boatman named CHEUNG CHI, an Indian watchman named RAMSAMMY, and a man named CHUNG Ho. In connection with the second case two Indians were committed for trial, and acquitted: in the other two cases the Police were unable to effect any arrests.

 4. There were two serious cases of manslaughter during the year. In connection with the first two coolies were arrested, but there was not sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction: in the second case the assailant made good his escape, before his arrest could be effected.

 5. Of the Highway Robberies the most flagrant case was that which occurred on the 11th July, when two men employed by the Dairy Farm Co. were waylaid and robbed by five men unknown on the Pokfulam Road. The Police had no means of tracing these men, and no arrests were made.

 6. The facilities for leaving the Colony and the proximity of the mainland of China added to the reluctance of respectable people to lay information against criminals or to come forward as witnesses against them render it very difficult for the Police to bring the guilty parties to justice. In many instances the offender has made good his escape, before the Police have received information of the offence, and on many occasions a case has broken down through the reluctance of witnesses to come forward and give evidence.

 7. Only three cases of Piracy have been reported during the year, all of which took place in Chinese waters. Several arrests were subsequently made by the Portuguese and Chinese Authorities in connection with these piracies.

 Every precaution has been taken against a repetition of the Namoa calamity, and steamers carrying Chinese passengers have been regularly searched before leaving the port.

 8. All the Police Stations are in good repair. The new station at Kennedy Town was occupied by the Police on the 31st December.

 9. The health of the Police Force has been good, only 7 deaths occurring, including one European. There has been a marked decrease in the number of casualties, there being only 87 as against 142 in 1891.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

A. GORDON,

Captain Supt. of Police.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. -No. 45.

 The following Report of the Captain Superintendent of Police for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 8th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th February, 1893.

No. 24.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

POLICE DEPARTMENT,

CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 19th January, 1893.

 SIR, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Police Report for the year 1892.

 2. The total number of cases brought to the notice of the Police during the year was 9,730 against 10,869 in 1891, being a decrease of 1,139 cases, or a decrease of 10.47 per cent.

Subdivided into serious and minor offences (so-called) there were in 1892, 2,983 cases of the former class against 2,994 in 1891, shewing a decrease of 11 cases or 0.36 per cent., and in the latter class 6,747 cases against 7,875 in 1891, giving a decrease of 1.128 cases or a decrease of 14.32 per cent. 3. During the year there were 3 cases of murder, the victims being a boatman named CHEUNG CHI, an Indian watchman named RAMSAMMY, and a man named CHUNG Ho. In connection with the second case two Indians were committed for trial, and acquitted: in the other two cases the Police were unable to effect any arrests.

 4. There were two serious cases of manslaughter during the year. In connection with the first two coolies were arrested, but there was not sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction: in the second case the assailant made good his escape, before his arrest could be effected.

 5. Of the Highway Robberies the most flagrant case was that which occurred on the 11th July, when two men employed by the Dairy Farm Co. were waylaid and robbed by five men unknown on the Pokfulam Road. The Police had no means of tracing these men, and no arrests were made.

 6. The facilities for leaving the Colony and the proximity of the mainland of China added to the reluctance of respectable people to lay information against criminals or to come forward as witnesses against them render it very difficult for the Police to bring the guilty parties to justice. In many instances the offender has made good his escape, before the Police have received information of the offence, and on many occasions a case has broken down through the reluctance of witnesses to come forward and give evidence.

 7. Only three cases of Piracy have been reported during the year, all of which took place in Chinese waters. Several arrests were subsequently made by the Portuguese and Chinese Authorities in connection with these piracies.

 Every precaution has been taken against a repetition of the Namoa calamity, and steamers carrying Chinese passengers have been regularly searched before leaving the port.

 8. All the Police Stations are in good repair. The new station at Kennedy Town was occupied by the Police on the 31st December.

 9. The health of the Police Force has been good, only 7 deaths occurring, including one European. There has been a marked decrease in the number of casualties, there being only 87 as against 142 in 1891.

SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, VICTORIA GAOL,

HONGKONG, 18th January, 1893.

 SIR, I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Annual Report on the Victoria Gaol for 1892.

 2. During the year there were 5,231 admissions, the average number of prisoners confined in the Gaol being 515 which is a slight increase on the previous year. The daily maximum number was

595.

 3. There have been 7,494 prison offences committed during the year being about 14 offences to each prisoner as compared with over 23 in 1891. The comparative returns attached show the number of the most common of these offences.

 4. Nine officers have been dismissed for misconduct during the year, but the conduct of the remainder of the Gaol Staff has been satisfactory.

 5. The officers' quarters are devoid of necessary comforts. There is no mess room or recreation room, and, under the existing circumstances, it is almost impossible for an officer employed on night duty to get proper rest during the day, he being constantly disturbed by those on day duty who are compelled to use the same room.

 6. The necessity for introducing the separate system generally has been frequently urged and I would most strongly recommend its adoption. At present from the time prisoners are locked up in the evening until they are unlocked in the morning and again during the officers' meal hours, it is impossible with a limited staff to exercise proper supervision in the corridors so as to prevent prisoners communicating with each other. It is unnecessary for me to mention the incalculable amount of har?n which this must do and how the deterrent effect of imprisonment is lessened thereby.

 7. Extra store-room and bath accommodation are required. The latter is so limited bathing cannot be conducted properly.

SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, VICTORIA GAOL,

HONGKONG, 18th January, 1893.

 SIR, I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Annual Report on the Victoria Gaol for 1892.

 2. During the year there were 5,231 admissions, the average number of prisoners confined in the Gaol being 515 which is a slight increase on the previous year. The daily maximum number was

595.

 3. There have been 7,494 prison offences committed during the year being about 14 offences to each prisoner as compared with over 23 in 1891. The comparative returns attached show the number of the most common of these offences.

 4. Nine officers have been dismissed for misconduct during the year, but the conduct of the remainder of the Gaol Staff has been satisfactory.

 5. The officers' quarters are devoid of necessary comforts. There is no mess room or recreation room, and, under the existing circumstances, it is almost impossible for an officer employed on night duty to get proper rest during the day, he being constantly disturbed by those on day duty who are compelled to use the same room.

 6. The necessity for introducing the separate system generally has been frequently urged and I would most strongly recommend its adoption. At present from the time prisoners are locked up in the evening until they are unlocked in the morning and again during the officers' meal hours, it is impossible with a limited staff to exercise proper supervision in the corridors so as to prevent prisoners communicating with each other. It is unnecessary for me to mention the incalculable amount of har?n which this must do and how the deterrent effect of imprisonment is lessened thereby.

 7. Extra store-room and bath accommodation are required. The latter is so limited bathing cannot be conducted properly.

89

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1893.

8. The insufficient yard accommodation has also been repeatedly pointed out.

                                       This I regard as one of the most serious deficiencies in the Gaol and makes it a matter of the utmost difficulty to keep the various classes of prisoners separate when at work. If this were increased many more prisoners could be employed at useful and remunerative labour.

9. The female prison is badly situated. The average number of females in prison during the year was 27, and, owing to the inadequate accommodation, it frequently happens that remand prisoners have to be placed in the same ward with convicted prisoners.

10. I forward herewith the usual returns.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

  The Public are hereby notified that if the present rate of water consumption is maintained it appears probable on account of the existing scarcity of water that it will be necessary to temporarily introduce the intermittent system of supply within the areas of the City of Victoria and Hill District.

  Attention is however called to the fact that the consumption of water within the above named areas is considered excessive and it is possible that the occupants of tenements may be able to so reduce it within their respective premises as to avert the necessity of altogether shutting the water off for a portion of each day and night.

   On the above table we may remark that candidates 1, 3 and 4 satisfied the condition of obtaining at least 400 marks in the English subjects; the same candidates and also No. 2 satisfied the condition of obtaining at least 300 marks in the other subjects. We desire to commend in general the papers of the three candidates YVANOVICH, COCK, and PESTONJEE, who have qualified themselves for election in both parts of the examination, and also of LEUNG KWONG-HIN. The competition for the scholarship between YVANOVICH and COCK was very close. We beg leave to recommend YVANOVICH to the Colonial Government for election to the scholarship, as has already been announced to the Colonial Secretary by telegraph.

English Subjects.-In Grammar the answers to the whole paper were in general excellent. The Essays of the three most successful candidates were in varying degrees meritorious in expression, style, and thought. In History the questions which elicited the best answers were those on the period from the Norman Conquest to the Tudors, and in the special period (the reign of Victoria) those on our Colonial Empire and foreign policy. In the History of Literature the work on the earlier literature was superior to that on the later. The selected play of Shakespeare had been care- fully studied.

   Other Subjects.-In Geography the best answers were on the United Kingdom and Asia. The best two papers deserve commendation. In most of the papers however traces of the study of Trendell's Colonial Year-Book were not very prominent. The mathematical work of all the candidates was good and in two cases extremely good. All did well in Algebra and Euclid, the work being intelligent and careful. In the arithmetical subjects there was some lack of accuracy in the work of three candidates. Taken as a whole the results of the second part of the examination are extremely satisfactory.

We have the honour to remain,

Sir,

Your obedient Servants,

31st December, 1892.

HEREAS it is expedient to amend the Hongkong Code of Civil Procedure so far as relates to suits by and against persons carrying on business in names other than their own.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. Section XIV. of the Hongkong Code of Civil Pro- cedure is hereby repealed but such repeal shall not affect anything done or suffered thereunder, nor any suit or pro- ceeding to which this Ordinance does not apply.

Preamble. (No. 13 of 1873.)

Repeal of

Section XIV. of Ordinance No. 13 of 1873.

under protest of person served as partner.

Execution of judgment against a firm.

2. In lieu of the section hereby repealed the following section shall be read and substituted, viz. :-

Proceedings by or against Firms.

XIV. (1) Any two or more persons claiming or being liable as co-partners and carrying on business within the jurisdiction may sue or be sued in the name of the respective firms, if any, of which such persons were co-partners at the time of the accruing of the cause of action; and any party to a suit may in such case apply by summons to a judge for a statement of the names and addresses of the persons who were, at the time of the accruing of the cause of action, co-partners in any such firm, to be furnished in such manner, and verified on oath or otherwise, as the Judge may direct.

(2) When a writ is sued out by partners in the name of their firm, the plaintiffs or their solicitors shall, on demand in writing by or on behalf of any defendant, forthwith declare in writing the names and places of residence of all the persons constituting the firm on whose behalf the suit is brought. And if the plaintiffs or their solicitors shall fail to comply with such demand, all proceedings in the suit may, upon an application for that purpose, be stayed upon such terms as the Court or a Judge may direct. And when the names of the partners are so declared, the suit shall proceed in the same manner and the same consequences in all respects shall follow as if they had been named as the plaintiffs in the writ. But all the proceedings shall, never- theless, continue in the name of the firm.

(3) Where persons are sued as partners in the name of their firm under sub-section (1), the writ shall be served either upon any one or more of the partners or at the prin- cipal place, within the jurisdiction, of the business of the partnership upon any person having at the time of service the control or management of the partnership business there; and, subject to this section, such service shall be deemed good service upon the firm so sued, whether

        any of the members thereof are out of the jurisdiction or not, pro- vided that in the case of a co-partnership which has been dissolved to the knowledge of the plaintiff before the com- mencement of the suit, the writ of summons shall be served upon every person within the jurisdiction sought to be

made liable.

(4) Where a writ is issued against a firm, and is served as directed by sub-section (3), every person upon whom it is served may be informed by notice in writing given at the time of such service whether he is served as a partner or as a person having the control or management of the part- nership business, or in both characters. In default of such notice, the person served shall be deemed to be served as a partner.

(5) Where persons are sued as partners in the name of their firm, they shall appear individually in their own names; but all subsequent proceedings shall, nevertheless, continue in the name of the firm.

(6) Where a writ is served under sub-section (3) upon a person having the control or management of the partner- ship business, no appearance by him shall be necessary unless he is a member of the firm sued.

(7) Any person served as a partner under sub-section (3) may enter an appearance under protest, denying that he is a partner, but such appearance shall not preclude the plaintiff from otherwise serving the firm and obtaining judg ment against the firm in default of appearance if no partner has entered an appearance in the ordinary form.

(8) Where a judgment or order is against a firm, execu- tion may issue-

(a) Against any property of the partnership within

the jurisdiction;

(b) Against any person who has appeared in his own name under sub-section (5) or (6), or who has admitted on the pleadings that he is, or who has been adjudged to be a partner;

(c) Against any person who has been individually served, as a partner, with the writ of summons, and has failed to appear.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH FEBRUARY, 1893. 123

If the party who has obtained judgment or an order claims to be entitled to issue execution against any other person as being a member of the firm, he may apply to the Court or a Judge for leave so to do; and the Court or Judge may give such leave if the liability be not disputed, or if such liability be disputed may order that the liability of such person be tried and determined in any manner in which any issue or question in a suit may be tried and determined. But except as against any property of the partnership, a judg- ment against a firm shall not render liable, release, or other- wise affect any member thereof who was residing out of the jurisdiction when the writ was issued, and who has not been served with or appeared to the writ.

(9) Debts owing from a firm carrying on business within the jurisdiction may be attached under section 76 of the Code of Civil Procedure, although one or more members of such firm may be resident abroad; provided that any person having the control or management of the partnership business or any member of the firm within the jurisdiction is served with a prohibitory order. An appearance by any member pursuant to an order shall be a sufficient appearance by the firm.

(10) The provisions of this Section shall apply to suits between a firm and one or more of its members, and to suits between firms having one or more members in common, provided such firm or firms carry on business within the jurisdiction, but no execution shall be issued in such suits without leave of the Court or a Judge, and on an application for leave to issue such execution all such accounts and inquiries may be directed to be taken and made, and directions given, as may be just.

(11) Any person carrying on business within the juris- diction in a name or style other than his own name may be sued in such name or style as if it were a firm name; and, so far as the nature of the case will permit, all the provi- sions of the said Code and of this Section relating to proceedings against firms shall apply.

3. This Ordinance shall apply to all suits in the Supreme Court commenced on or after the 1st day of March, 1893.

Attachment of debts owing from a firm.

Application of this section to suits bet- ween co-part-

ners.

Application of this section to person trading as a firm.

Application of this Ordt- nance.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 67.

 The following abstract of a Chinese Proclamation, prohibiting the entrance of foreigners into Chinese Territory in the neighbourhood of Macao for purposes of shooting, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th February, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

Abstract of proclamation issued by Ai, Maritime sub-prefect, stating that the Governor-General of the two Kwang has forbidden foreigners from entering Chinese territory on shooting excursions and thereby creating disturbances.

In consequence of foreigners from Macao acting in contravention of treaties, and entering with arms into Chinese territory on shooting parties, I and Captain LAI addressed a joint communication to the Portuguese LI Sz () of Macao. We explained that the elders of the villages were afraid of the consequences which might result from some one being accidentally wounded by a foreigner: a disturbance having actually arisen in this way some years ago. We added that on the 30th October a Chinese narrowly escaped being wounded by a foreigner who was on a shooting excursion, but fortunately some soldiers who were near intervened and quelled the disturbance which arose, before anything serious occurred. We pointed out that Chinese of all classes obeyed the regu- lations in force in Macao against carrying arms, and that it would be only just and would prevent justifiable complaints if foreigners were prohibited from breaking the laws in force in China against shooting in places where it was forbidden. We concluded by requesting him to issue a proclamation forbidding shooting excursions into Chinese territory. We also wrote to the Commissioner of Customs and caused two notices to be posted.

 I further submitted, as follows, to the Governor-General of the Two Kwang the advisability of requesting the Governor of Macao to forbid shooting parties.

 The part of the province under my jurisdiction, I said, is almost all cultivated ground, and thickly inhabited. It lies close to Macao, and foreigners come from there to shoot. Accidents have frequently occurred, and though the complaints arising from them have been successfully dealt with by the officials concerned, proclamations prohibiting the practice of shooting in these parts have not been attended to, and it has become more frequent these last two years. The trouble will never cease unless you intervene. I have had frequent complaints made to me personally, and a disturbance arising out of the presence of a shooting party on the 30th October was only just averted. I have satisfied myself that the reports of the occurrence are true, and similar events have been frequent for many years.

 The Governor-General replied to this that he had requested the Governor of Macao to put a stop to the practice of shooting in Chinese territory, and instructed me to proclaim without delay that no molestation was to be offered to foreigners taking a walk in Chinese territory, and that a report must be made of any intentional injury received at their hands, but no retaliation made.

 I now issue a proclamation and call on you to see that no member of your families invent stories with the intention of persuading foreigners to come and shoot in these parts, trusting to the foreigner for support. You must report any one who does so and I will punish him severely. You must receive all foreigners who enter Chinese territory for a walk as distinguished guests, and even if you have any feeling of resentment you must not allow the least particle of it to be seen, or it will be the worse for you.

 If any foreigners disregard the provisions of the treaties and insist on making shooting excursions into our territory and refuse to listen to you when you wish to prevent them, you may take their knives and guns from them and bring the arms to my Office, and I will request the Governor-General to ask that they be punished. But I wish to warn you especially that you must on no account assault them. If you do, they will have cause for complaint. It is my wish that both parties should be on good terms, but I cannot consent that my people should suffer injury.

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

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.

   QUESTIONS.-Honourable C. P. CHATER gave notice that at the next meeting he would ask the following questions:-

1. What is the total amount so far as has been ascertained to date of the loss occasioned to the

Treasury through the defalcations of A. F. Alves, late Clerk and Accountant therein?

2. Over what period of time have these defalcations extended so far as is at present known? 3. Was the defaulter guaranteed in any way, and if so how, by whom, and to what amount? 4. When were the defalcations first discovered and when were any steps taken for the arrest of

the defaulter? Is it a fact as stated in the newspapers that Alves was allowed time during which he was able to make away with the books and accounts incriminating him and to escape from the Colony?

   Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD also gave notice that at the next meeting he would ask the follow- ing question:-

Will the Government appoint a commission composed in the main of persons unconnected with the Government Service to investigate and report publicly on the management of the Treasury Department and on the circumstances connected with A. F. Alves' defalcations?

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1893.

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 1893.

2. Immediately after the coming into operation of this Ordinance, the Director of Public Works of this Colony together with WILLIAM DANBY, Esquire, J.P. of Hong- kong, Civil Engineer, hereinafter called the Valuers, shall estimate the probable cost of the removal and re-erection in like situations, abutting on the new Praya, of the aforesaid five Government Public Piers and Wharves and of the whole of the private Piers and Wharves along the line of the said Reclamation, existing at the date of the passing of The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, aud when the Valuers have agreed as to the amount of such estimate or in case of difference, when the Umpire, hereinafter mentioned, shall have decided the sum to be inserted they shall duly cause to be prepared a Schedule in which shall be entered.

(a) The names of the said five Government Public Piers and Wharves, viz.:-Murray Pier, Ped- dar's Wharf, Pottinger Street Pier, Harbour Master's Pier, and the Nam Pak Houg Pier, and the total estimated cost of removing and re-erecting the same in like situations abutting on the new Praya. In estimating such total cost, due deductions shall be made for structural depreciation at the time of the passing of The The Praya Reclamation Ordinance 1889. amount thus estimated may be referred to as "The Public proportion of compensation." (b) The names or descriptious of each of the said private Wharves and Piers along the line of the said reclamation and the amount allotted as part compensation in respect of each of the said private Wharves and Piers. In estimating such amounts, due deductions shall be made for structural depreciation at the time of the passing of The Praya Reclamation Ordinance 1889, and due regard shall be had to the sum available for payment of such amounts after the Public proportion of compensation and the fees payable under Section 5 have been deducted from the sum of $180,000.

3. Should the said Valuers fail to agree in respect of any or all of the amounts to be entered in the aforesaid schedule they shall refer the matters in which they shall so fail to agree to

    hereinafter called the 'Umpire,' who shall duly consider the respective views of the aforesaid Valuers and such facts or statements as they shall lay before him and decide the sum to be inserted in the said Schedule.

4. Such Schedule shall be in the form in Schedule A to this Ordinance. The Schedule when completed shall be signed by the said Valuers and also by the Umpire, if any amount contained therein has been decided by him, and shall be duly published in the Government Gazette, after which it shall be final and binding on all parties in respect of the amounts to be paid on account of each wharf and pier named therein.

5. The Governor is hereby empowered to direct payment to be made, out of the sum not exceeding $180,000, of such fees as he may consider fair and reasonable on account of the services rendered under this Ordinance by the said and the said WILLIAM

DANBY, Esquire.

,

6. The respective sums published in the aforesaid schedule shall be paid as hereinafter provided in Section 7 to the respective owners of each of the said Wharves or Piers on behalf of themselves and any occupiers entitled to par- ticipate in such compensation, unless before such payment notice in writing shall be given to the Colonial Secretary by the occupier or occupiers of any particular Wharf or Pier that he or they object to such payment being made in that particular instance to the owner, in which case as also in any case where the owner or occupier cannot be readily ascertained or where any other difficulty may arise the sum mentioned in the Schedule in respect of such Wharf or Pier may be paid into the Supreme Court on behalf of the persons entitled thereto, and any owner or occupier or person claiming to be entitled to the sum or any part thereof may apply to the said Court for payment out accordingly.

..

  2. Referring first to Table A. It will be seen that of the one hundred and ninety eight (198) houses incomplete at the close of 1891, eighty (80) have been finished and the plans for seventy- four (74) cancelled, leaving forty-four (44) to carry forward to 1893.

3. Of the six hundred and ninety-three (693) houses, plans for the re-drainage of which were received and duly passed in 1892, four hundred and ninety-seven (497) are finished, and the plans of thirty-two (32) have been cancelled leaving one hundred and sixty-four (164) to carry forward, which with the forty-four (44) of 1891 makes a total of two hundred and eight (208).

4. The drainage plans of a large number of houses have been cancelled during the past year; these have in almost every instance been those of new buildings and more than two-thirds (3) were deposited during or previous to the year 1891. They have been cancelled in consequence of fresh plans being deposited chiefly owing to alterations in the building plans.

5. Table B gives a summary of the work which has been carried out under the superintendence of the Sanitary Surveyor since the passing of the Public Health Ordinance. The year 1892 which has just passed, compares favourably with previous years, the record of drainage plans of houses received and the number of houses re-drained being much the same. The decrease during the year in the number of houses certified under Section 74 of the Public Health Ordinance, which appears in the last column, seems to point to a return to a normal state after the exceptional activity in building operations obtaining during the years 1890 and 1891.

6. The total number of houses in Hongkong and Kowloon (including the villages and Hill District) is approximately eleven thousand, six hundred and fifty (11,650). Two thousand three hundred and twenty-two (2,322) have been drained in accordance with the Bye-laws, and one thousand two hundred and eighty-seven (1,287) are certificated, the former being 20 % of the total number and the latter 11 %.

7. Special attention has been paid to the condition of the down-pipes and cook-house floors. In the old houses the former are almost invariably constructed with the common Chinese clay-pipes, without any sockets; no jointing material has been used in fixing them and they are merely plastered over, the walls to which they are fixed being generally saturated in consequence of such defects; added to this they are frequently broken off to a height of 2 or 3 feet from the ground. It is by no means an uncommon occurrence to find the pipes completely choked by the dirt, vegetable refuse, &c., which has been forced into them.

8. In all cases of re-drainage care has been taken that these down-pipes should be renewed, with heads fixed at all inlets, gratings being fixed inside the cook-houses to prevent the new pipes being choked by refuse which they are not intended to take.

9. The cook-house floors have also received my careful attention. Where they are paved the paving usually consists of red tiles or flags carelessly laid and imperfectly jointed, but many instances have come under my notice where nothing but the rough earth forms the floor.

10. The red tiles are in my opinion too soft for the purpose; they wear in the centre of each tile, forming small basins which hold the water thrown on to the floor. Owing too to their soft nature the tiles become much broken by the chopping of wood which is usually performed in the cook-house. I believe that where these tiles are used the life of the floor might be considerably lengthened by providing a piece of stone in some corner of the cook-house where the tenant could chop his wood. Hard stone seems to me the only material which will effectually resist constant wear of this nature.

;

   11. During the past year permission has been granted to connect the water-closets at the Mount Austin Hotel, Hongkong Hotel (New Wing) and French Sanitarium at Pokfulam to the house-drains these connections are now completed. In consequence of these applications and of the progress made in the main sewerage of the city, bye-laws were drawn up under Section 3 of Ordinance 12 of 1891 to regulate the construction materials and fittings of water-closets and these bye-laws were approved by the Legislative Council on November 30th. I would venture to hope that owners and occupiers of property will see the advantages and appreciate the improved state of domestic sanitation to be obtained by the more general introduction of the water-carriage system in place of the existing pail system, and that in the course of the next few years the latter will have entirely disappeared, at least in all European houses.

12. The records which were started in 1888 have been maintained and are complete to date.

I have the honour to be,

The Secretary

 The Brigade was called out for the extinction of fires on sixteen occasions. This number though not excessive was double that of the year before. None of the fires attained very serious proportions, though in one instance property to the extent of about forty thousand dollars was destroyed.

 In addition to the fires requiring the attendance of the Brigade, there were eighty-three alarms, the fires in such cases being either non-existent or extinguished before headway was made.

 Ten of the sixteen fires were made the subject of Magisterial enquiries. I am of opinion that these enquiries continue to have a wholesome deterrent effect and check the great temptation to arson held out by the insuring facilities of the Colony.

 Advantage has been taken of the supply of water afforded by the street hydrants to gradually introduce a change into the tactics of the Brigade as regards the general arrangements for the suppres- sion of fires, and to place reliance upon the street hydrants rather than upon the steam fire engines.

 The appliance at present in use for this purpose is known as the Fire Despatch Box, its merits consisting in its handiness which enables it to be worked by one man at the same time that it is supplied with three hundred feet of hose and all the appliances necessary for immediate use of the street hydrants.

 They have during the year been gradually increased in number without extraordinary expenditure, and now number fourteen. They are situated in the following places :-

No. 1 Police Station.

Engine-house in Wanchai Road.

Royal Naval Yard.

Clock Tower.

Central Police Station.

No. 9 Police Station.

Engine-house in Hollywood Road.

Man Mo Temple.

Government Civil Hospital.

No. 7 Police Station,

Nam Pak Hong Engine-house in Bonham Strand.

The Gas Works Premises.

Central Fire Brigade Station.

Their number is being further added to as opportunity offers.

#

For fire purposes the Town is divided into three districts: Western, Central and Eastern; the Western extending eastwards as far as the Harbour Office, the Central extending eastwards as far as the City Hall, and the remainder of the Town forming the Eastern District.

The particular district in which a fire has broken out is notified to the Brigade by the Fire bells three strokes signifying the Western District, two strokes the Central District, and one the Eastern District.

In order to obviate the possible danger that might arise from denuding the Central District of its firemen and fire appliances, upon the occasion of a fire in the Eastern District, special arrangements are made for fires in the latter district according to which a certain number of men are told off each month for the purpose of attending at fires at Wanchai, the remainder being kept in the Central District unless the exceptional magnitude of the fire requires their attendance.

Although it is a long time since a fire of extraordinary magnitude took place I do not disguise from myself the possibility of its occurrence and circumstances might arise which would extend the area of the flames beyond the control of the limited number of men that belong to the Brigade. Promptitude in attendance and care in having in readiness the necessary arrangements for extending the operations are the best preventives against the spread of a fire.

The Assistant Superintendentship of the Fire Brigade has, during the past year, been mainly filled by Mr. Chief Inspector MATHIESON who has proved himself a valuable acquisition to the Brigade.

   The thanks of the Brigade are also due to Mr. KINGHORN, the Engineer, under whose supervision the engines are kept in excellent order, and to Mr. CAMPBELL, Assistant Engineer, who has the important work of generally superintending the up-keep of the gear and of attending to the proper carrying out of the orders in force for the general arrangements that have been made for the guidance of the Brigade.

   The clerical work of the Department, which requires considerable care and attention, has been admirably performed by Mr. CHAU SHAU, than whom it would be impossible to find a more painstaking and trustworthy officer.

The conduct of the Brigade throughout the year has been satisfactory.

   I have the honour to enclose Mr. KINGHORN's report on the state of the Engines together with the Return of Fires and Alarms.

The Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

H. E. WODEHOUSE, Superintendent, Fire Brigade.

VICTORIA COLLEGE, HONGKONG, 8th February, 1893.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on Victoria College for the year 1892.

1. The total number on the College Roll for the year was 1,062; the greatest number present on one day being 852, (as opposed to 905 in 1891). In spite of this decrease, the attendance continues to be far in excess of the 700 estimated by the late Dr. STEWART in 1881, and of the 770 estimated by myself in 1887 as the probable accommodation required in the new building. The number of school days, 237, shows a gain of a week on last year's statistics, and is the highest figure reached since 1885.

  3. ATTENDANCE.-As my remarks on this head last year were misunderstood, as relating quite a new experience, I must explain that, though I first drew attention to this point last year, the short school-life of too many of our scholars has always been a matter of regret. Take for example, at random, the year 1885; out of a total number of 596, there were 205 admissions and 210 departures, i.e., roughly speaking, one-third of the scholars was changed, precisely as was the case last The natural consequence is that at the end of the year we can only present for examination the remaining two-thirds; which has been the average for the last ten years, as a glance at the figures in paragraph 2 of my Reports will testify. Few boys stay more than a year in the highest class, while owing to the higher education now given in the Second and Third Classes, many boys are able to obtain situations without entering the First Class at all.

  4. EDUCATIONAL EMULATION.--Five years ago I uttered a note of warning on this subject. (Gazette, 1888, p. 159., par. 11.). A certain amount of emulation amongst scholars may be healthful, but emulation among masters (even in the same school) is prejudicial to the interests of education. Sympathy and affectionate interest are the mainspring of true education. Schoolmasters are but human; if the results of competitions are the only test of success in education, it cannot but be that the quiet judicious training of each boy will, in the excitement of contest, be sacrificed to the working np of a machine to the highest point of tension. No two schools in the Colony work under the same conditions; I would go further and say that no two years does the same school find itself in a precisely

p.171.

166

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1893.

similar situation as to advantages or hindrances. The greater success of one year does not transform the more average attainments of succeeding years into failure. This being so, all comparisons between schools should be avoided on principle. Every school in the Colony is doubtless doing its best to further education, and no man or institution can do more. Let it be granted that all the schools stand upon this common platform of excellence and no particular school on a solitary pinnacle. The successes of one school may one year appear to suggest that it is absolutely the best, but this hasty judgment is checked by the above consideration of varying conditions. During the last few years there has been some indication of a decrease of harmony among the various schools of this Colony. This is not due to the introduction of the Government Scholarship, Local Examinations, Belilios Medals, &c., but to the unwise application of the results of these as a criterion whereby the system of each school, the energy and ability of each master, is to be adjudged as above or below the standard of competency. The only sense in which a school should admit fighting to be a duty incumbent upon it, is that every school is a company belonging to the vast army that battles all over the world against ignorance and crime. If the great victory is to be achieved it will surely not be by means of petty jealousies and internecine conflicts among the various regiments of the army. Let them fight side by side and not turn their swords against each other.

 5. EDUCATIONAL THEORIES.--It is a trite and true saying that an ounce of practice is worth a ton of theory. Left in charge of a nephew and niece of tender years, the profound philosopher HERBERT SPENCER found his theory of education impracticable even for a few hours. The chief error of theorists on education would appear to be relegating to the schoolmaster the influence of parents, and the duty of developing the infantile mind which was assigned by nature to the mother. As regards Victoria College its singular conditions require a system of its own. With boys of 14 to 20 years of age at admission, who only stay in school from four to six years, the Head Master is unable to adopt ready made theories of FROEBEL, RAUB or other celebrated educationists, whose systems postulate a curriculum of 10 to 15 years and a commencement of school-life about the age of seven.

6. COST OF BUILDING.-Neither Dr. STEWART nor myself is responsible for the excessive outlay in the erection of this College. We were both advocates for a plain commodious building. Such items as $10,000 for a lead roof and $7,000 for monolith pillars formed no part of our conception of neces- sities for a school-building. It should also not be forgotten that the estimated value (at least $80,000 in 1888) of the old Central School should be deducted from the gross cost of the new building, as it was always understood that on the evacuation of the Central School the site was to be sold to partially cover the cost of its substitute.

 7. COST OF ESTABLISHMENT.-A rate of per cent. on the house rental of the Colony would defray the expenses of Victoria College, whereas a Board School rate of 5 per cent. is very common in England, which is additional to the grant-in-aid paid out of the taxes. It is sometimes urged that Victoria College is chiefly for the benefit of the Chinese and that its maintenance falls heavily on the ratepayers of Hongkong. In the first place per cent. is not a heavy rate, and secondly the argument overlooks the large preponderance of Chinese ratepayers in the Colony. As one-ninth of the scholars are non- Chinese it would appear that the cost of maintenance is pretty equitably distributed among the rate- payers; for though Europeans possess one-third of the rateable property in the Colony a large portion of this European property is occupied by Chinese who are the real ratepayers, their European landlords of course recovering all rates from their tenants.

 8. COST OF SCHOOL MATERIAL.-The charge of fees during the holiday months of February and August was specially made in 1884 to cover this expense, and has ever since amply effected its object, with a balance in favour of the Treasury.

9. STAFF. The number of masters, English and Chinese, now on the staff was recommended by me in a special report to the Government in 1887, and approved as absolutely necessary by a Commission consisting of Dr. STEWART, Dr. EITEL, and myself. During the past year Messrs. BOOTH and Boards returned to England at the end of their three years' agreement; and Messrs. MACHELL and WATTS were appointed provisionally as their successors. Mr. MACHELL is an enthusiast in matters connected with education, and labours in and out of school hours for the good of his boys and the prestige of the College. Mr. DEALY was absent on leave throughout the year.

10. NON-CHINESE BOYS.-I have long observed that non-Chinese boys have suffered great disadvantage in being placed in large classes of Chinese boys, generally five years or more older than themselves. They felt disheartened by their inability to cope on equal terms with their seniors, and being in a small minority were, in spite of the best intention of their masters, liable to be overlooked. In the Central School their numbers did not justify me in forming special classes for their behoof. At the opening of this school-year, however, I formed two sections, Classes I. C and III. C, composed entirely of boys not in Chinese. dress, and the benefits accruing from this arrangement are already evident.

 11. COLLOQUIAL ENGLISH.-Three years ago in my report (Gazette, 1890, p. 426, par. 8) I pointed out that the great need in the College was some stimulus without which boys, who are only day-scholars and never speak a word of English out of school-hours, cannot be expected to acquire the art of speaking

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1893.

167

 English. On my arrival, in 1882, I found the subject, colloquial English, set down on the time table for one hour a week on Saturdays. I looked forward to it with interest, but discovered that even in the able hands of Mr. FALCONER the so-called conversation was a lecture, occasionally varied by the interjection on the part of the pupils of affirmative or negative monosyllables. When the Time Table was remodelled this hour was allotted to other subjects, as the object intended did not appear to be attained. This year, however, I hope I have discovered the needed stimulus both for scholar and master, in making colloquial English a subject of examination for prize purposes. When a boy finds himself, say fifth, in a class where but for loss of marks in conversation he would have been first, there can be no doubt that all ambitious boys will awake to the necessity of speaking English. The sixth class is the lowest in which boys can attempt making spoken English sentences; here then we begin, and each boy is required after reading a passage to reply to questions and suggestions upon what he has been reading. This custom, previously in vogue as an exercise of intelligence, is now definitely employed as a channel for leading to conversation. High marks are only given where rarer intelligence is displayed in the form and nature of the replies. In the higher classes the questions roam widely over any field within the range of thought of the scholars. As evidence of the thoroughness of the examination it is well to state that ten days are absorbed in assigning marks to this subject jointly with Reading.

   12. CHINESE EXAMINATIONS.-Chinese essay-writing may be compared to Latin or Greek verse at English schools. Neither of them is in itself of real service in daily after-life, the exercise is mecha- nical, and the pupils who develop talent over it are few; it still remains a test of scholarship and of knowledge of rules of composition, and as such is considered part of a gentleman's training. There would, however, appear to be no searching test of the bulk of the work done in the year. I therefore enquired of my Chinese assistants whether there were nothing in Chinese examinations corresponding to a literature or Shakespeare paper at the local examinations. The result of my enquiry has been the introduction of a few test questions (King Ku) on the classical Chinese which they have read

in the course of the year, but which has hitherto remained untested.

13. DISCIPLINE.---The discipline in English school continues exemplary; the cane is but rarely requisitioned, and that chiefly in the Preparatory school, where newcomers are unaccustomed to laws of sudordination. The cheerful happy spirit that pervades the classrooms is made subject of congra- tulation by every casual visitor. In Chinese school, too, the maintenance of discipline seems to have as nearly reached perfection as can be expected. Any old master, who can with me remember the old days at the Central School, when an audible "hush," often initiated by the Chinese master, announced the approach of the English master in charge suddenly checking the murmur of conversation and laughter in the classroom, would be astonished at the decorum and orderliness now prevalent, whenever a surprise visit is made.

   14. COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.-Victoria College has not ignored the modern tendency in this direction. For three years Bookkeeping, with lessons on commercial phraseology, has formed a part of the annual work, in addition to commercial arithmetic (discount, interest, exchange, shares, &c.) which has never been neglected. Last March over 120 boys were attending lessons in bookkeeping, and last July a Chinese boy from this College was one of the few, out of all England, that passed in this subject at the Oxford Local Senior Examinations. As regards Shorthand, I am opposed to its introduction simply on the ground that the phonetic principle involved would cause irreparable confusion in the minds of boys to whom the eccentricities of English spelling are still a sufficient difficulty. Typewriting can from the nature of the case never become a class subject.

   15. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.--Six out of the eight candidates from this College passed last July. As the three Chinese candidates all passed, I hope that larger numbers will offer in the future; the chief hindrance is the entrance fee, $7.50, which is a serious consideration to most of our aspirants.

   16. RECREATION.--A considerable improvement is noticeable in the drill this year. Understanding the great interest His Excellency the Governor takes in this matter, the senior boys (or rather men) have to some extent overcome their national prejudice to physical exercise, which they view as undig nified. The juniors have, however, taken to it con amore; and in two or three years' time, drill may be expected to have become universally popular throughout the College. Through Mr. MACHELL'S energy the former spasmodic efforts at cricket and football have been systematised. Mr. BARLOW organised some excursions by land and water, including a visit to the City Hall Museum. The advantages derived by this lively interest in scholars out of school-hours cannot be over-estimated, both for its effect on developing intelligence, and for its moral influence.

   17. ANNUAL EXAMINATION.--In accordance with the suggestion of the Inspector of Schools in his report of last year, his annual inspection of the College has been transferred to the month of July. The annual examination, thus left under the sole control of the Head Master, has been conducted strictly on the same lines as in the past ten years. Half marks constitute a pass in any single subject; a class pass consists of passing in at least half the subjects offered by the class. The number of class subjects thus offered is as follows:- Preparatory School, six; Lower School, ten; Upper School,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1893.

A boy must pass in three, five, and seven subjects respectively to secure a pass, which is by no means a lenient requirement. It must be understood that a considerable proportion pass in every subject offered, while minimum passes are very rare. The total number present for examination was 671, of whom 645, or 96 per cent., passed, which is the highest percentage since 1887. The three sections of the College are thus represented

As the corresponding passes last year were respectively 92, 84, and 99, it will be seen at once that the great gain is in the Lower School. Nor is this to be wondered at, the failure of 30 boys last year in the three sections of Class V. has now been succeeded by the remarkably good result of only three failures. I attribute the great improvement this year to the fact that masters have devoted more direct attention to the weaker portions of their classes, the necessity of this having been emphasised by last year's results.

years.

The whole staff, English and Chinese, deserves the greatest credit for the excellent work presented. To particularise, the work of the Preparatory School has maintained the high level of previous As just stated, the success of the Lower School has entirely removed the disgrace of last year's failure in Class V.; each class has done excellently, but Classes IVA, IVB, and V? are conspicuous above the rest, for high tone of work as well as high percentages. In the Upper School Ia, IIa, and IIIA have sustained the excellent reputation of last year; IIIB has done as well as its material (the lowest boys promoted from Class IV) will admit of; Ic, and IIIc, the new classes of non-Chinese boys, have had great difficulties to contend with, and the upper sections have done very well, while the half dozen boys at the head of Ic have distinguished themselves by thoughtful papers and neat work; the lower sections of these classes and IB appear, however, to have suffered from an attempt to drag them up to the level of their seniors, which has resulted in an inability to cope with even easy questions.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1893.

Remarks on individual subjects:-

 Reading. Very good indeed, more attention requires to be paid to phrasing, punctuation, and expression in the highest classes.

 Colloquial.-473 boys were examined and 76 per cent. passed. As this is a new departure, the success is satisfactory.

Dictation.-Considerable improvement in both spelling and writing, much higher percentage of

passes.

 Composition. A very marked advance. Many boys intelligently employed their imaginations to grasp the situations in the stories and used very appropriate phrases of their own selection to provide details suggested but not related; so that there was very little of the usual style of exercise com- pounded of dictation and memory work.

 Grammar.-Excellent work in Lower School, and very good in Upper School. More attention in the First class requires to be paid to parsing and analysis. The order to parse fully is not carried out by a style of parsing that would scarcely pass in the fourth class.

 History.-Very successfully taught; foolish answers suggestive of inattention and a futile attempt to cram, very rare.

 Mathematics.-Arithmetic same percentage as the total pass last year. Algebra very weak in IB. Euclid, generally good.

Geography. Well taught, including excellent maps from memory.

Shakespeare.-Good papers by several boys in the three sections of Class I.

Translation from and to Chinese.-Very good, specially the latter.

Latin-Only taught in the non-Chinese classes, has attained but a poor standard. Book-keeping.-Very marked improvement on last year.

 General Intelligence.-This paper consists of questions on subjects that do not form part of actual class work, but on which every intelligent boy is supposed to have some ideas from conversation or general reading. The considerable improvement observed is doubtless due to the attention paid to colloquial.

 Special Subjects.--Chemistry shows distinct improvement; this is the first time in the history of the College that a practical examination has been held in this subject. Drawing was introduced this year with very good results. Trigonometry offered by three boys was not well done by any, though two passed.

19. PUPIL TEACHERS AND MONITORS.-Three of the monitors came out at the head of the Poll; one of them is therefore Morrison Scholar, quite a rare event during the last few years. The rest passed a satisfactory examination in the usual subjects, including a paper on the theory and history of education. In the test of practical work before the class, the four who had more than a year's experience gave their orders and instruction in a highly satisfactory manner. The remaining four, who had been accustomed to teach only during the last few months, taught very creditably, with one exception. Great care was taken over reading and spelling, but I observed that in every case the teacher was of opinion that the dictation lesson was over when the number of mistakes on each boy's slate (marked by another boy) was reported by himself; there was no inspection to criticise hand- writing or discover omitted mistakes. Lessons in early stages of arithmetic were not sufficiently simple.

 20. SCHOLARSHIPS.-As the marks obtained at the competition for the Government scholarship have not yet been published, we are ignorant of how our two candidates fared, beyond the fact that neither is at the head. The Trustees of the Morrison scholarship have instituted a junior scholarship of $25 a year for three years, to be awarded to the head boy, of the Lower School, as the Senior is gained by the dux of the College. The Stewart Scholarship wsa this year gained by the head boy of the junior section of the first class. The Belilios Trustees have enhanced the value of these two scholarships by the addition of Shakespeare to the senior subjects, and History to the junior. The Bain Engineering scholarship has been withdrawn, as no candidate has offered since its foundation. students have been nominated Belilios Medical scholars in connexion with the College of Medicine.

Two

21. PRIZES.-In thanking the many generous contributors to our prize fund, I would draw attention to the yearly increasing contributions from the Chinese residents, which, as the Inspector of Schools remarked with truth at the distribution of prizes to the Government Central School for Girls, is the most reliable evidence of their full confidence in the management of the institution.

It is hereby notified that on and after Tuesday next, the 14th instant, owing to the scarcity of water, the supply will only be turned on between the hours of 6 and 9 A.M. and 6 and 8 P.M.

As it is anticipated that the pressure in the mains will, under the above circumstances, be insuffi- cient to secure the delivery of water at the levels of the upper floors of houses in portions of the city, the attention of the public is directed to the numerous street fountains fixed throughout the city from which a limited supply can be obtained.

It is hereby notified that on and after Tuesday next, the 14th instant, owing to the scarcity of water, the supply will only be turned on between the hours of 6 and 9 A.M. and 6 and 8 P.M.

As it is anticipated that the pressure in the mains will, under the above circumstances, be insuffi- cient to secure the delivery of water at the levels of the upper floors of houses in portions of the city, the attention of the public is directed to the numerous street fountains fixed throughout the city from which a limited supply can be obtained.

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 aud 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.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 7th February, 1893.

REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1892.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward you a report on the works carried out by this Department during the past year. Owing to the amalgamation of the Surveyor General's and the Water and Drainage Departments early in the year, I propose to deal in this report with the whole of the Public Works previously in charge of these two departments.

ANNUALLY RECURRENT WORKS.

 2. Repairs of Buildings.-The following new Buildings were completed in 1891. The Civil Hospital Coolie Quarters, Lunatic Asylum for Chinese, Police Stations at Aberdeen, Kennedy Town and Quarry Bay, and the District School Saiyingpun, the maintenance and repair of which therefore became chargeable during the past year to this vote.

 3. The old Central School has been removed, the site being utilised for the erection of "The Belilios School for Girls."

 4. The total number of Buildings of all description now in charge of this Department is one hundred and twenty-nine.

 The whole of these, with the exception of Mountain Lodge which has practically been abandoned, have been maintained in a satisfactory condition.

 5. Extensive repairs to the roof at Government House and the floors of the Supreme Court House were carried out during the latter part of the year.

 During the repairs of the Supreme Court temporary accommodation was provided at the Masonic Hall in Zetland Street.

 6. The construction of a small addition to the Magistracy mentioned in my last report was completed in the month of April.

 7. The following buildings have been painted externally, Shektongtsui Market, Stanley Police Station, Taitam Police Station and Saiyingpun Market.

 8. The re-drainage of the Harbour Officers' Quarters and of the Government Office Stables has been effected.

 9. The contractors for the work done in connection with the repair and maintenance of Govern- ment Buildings during the past year have been Mr. A Ho? for work within the City of Victoria and Messrs. CHAN A TONG & Co. for work outside the city.

 10. For the purpose of checking the expenditure incurred by this Department on buildings in occupation by other departments, separate departmental accounts have been kept during the past year.

The following list shews the several headings of account and the expenditure against them :---

 11. Maintenance of Telegraphs.-During the past year a good deal has been done towards the more efficient maintenance of the Telegraph lines; iron poles have been substituted for wooden ones wherever the latter have required renewal.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

211

   12. In August last, C.S.O. 2, I submitted a report on the present system of Government telegraphs and suggested certain alterations, including the more general introduction of Telephones, for the improvement of electrical communication between the several Police Stations and Government Buildings throughout the Colony.

   Provision has been made in this year's estimates for meeting to a large extent the expenditure involved in introducing these improvements.

   13. Public Cemetery.-The Public Cemetery has been maintained in a satisfactory manner without involving any exceptional expenditure.

The number of interments during the year has been eighty-two.

14. Maintenance of Praya Wall and Piers.-The usual repairs have been carried out and the Praya Wall and Piers maintained in a satisfactory condition.

15. A settlement has occurred in the Praya Wall in front of Marine Lots 177-181 Praya West. This settlement does not at present endanger either the safety of the wall or roadway but it will be necessary shortly to raise the wall to its original level. Upon this subject I shall address you a separate communication.

16. The new pier at Yaumati was completed in March last, at a cost of $4,274.27.

17. Maintenance of Lighthouses.-The Lighthouses are in an efficient state of repair and no extra- ordinary expenditure has been incurred on their maintenance.

18. Maintenance of Disinfector.--The Disinfector has been maintained in good working order though seldom required during the past year,

   19. In the month of December last the Disinfector was placed in charge of the Sanitary Board as the department most frequently requiring its use. The building and apparatus is still periodically inspected and maintained by this department, and any expenditure incurred for this purpose is charged against the vote "Repairs to Buildings."

   20. Dredging Foreshores.-During the past year 48,200 cubic yards of material have been removed from the harbour at a cost of $8,075.39 including the cost of ordinary maintenance of the dredger. Exceptional expenditure has, however, been incurred on repairs to the machinery and hull of the dredger amounting to $884.87.

The annual contract for the removal of material dredged was let to Messrs. CHAN A TONG & Co.

9

   21. Miscellaneous Works.-Several minor works have been carried out the more important of which are:-the construction of a Block House at Samsuipo, Contract No. 1892, by TSANG A SIN; the construction of a fire-proof room for the use of the Supreme Court and Land Office; the con- struction of a gravel Tennis Court at Government House, and the erection of twelve Post Office Pillar Boxes in the City and Hill Districts.

   22. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-The Roads and Streets have been maintainfed in as satisfactory a condition as the extensive works of sewerage and water supply carried out by this Department and the works carried out by the Telegraph and Gas Companies during the past year would admit.

   23. Garden Road has been concreted, Praya East, Bonham Road, Caine Road and Queen's Road Central have been macadamized, and Bullock and Cross Lanes, Wanchai, have been formed, channelled and kerbed.

Granite paving has been laid at some of the more important street crossings in the City.

   24. The Bridges have been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair without involving any exceptional expenditure.

   25. A new approach road has been constructed to Kennedy Town Police Station, Contract Tz, by Mr. Foo SIK.

26. The annual contract for repairs to Roads and Bridges in the City was let to Mr. CHING LAI KEE. 27. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria.-Plantation and Mount Gough Roads in the Peak District have been concreted, the road from Aberdeen to Stanley thoroughly repaired, and the portion as far as Little Hongkong macadamized.

   28. General repairs have been carried out on most of the Roads and Bridges in the outlying districts.

   29. The Bridges at Deep Water Bay and Tsin-shui-wan mentioned in my last report have been reconstructed of iron and concrete, as have also the Bridges on the Little Hongkong New Road and the one at Wong-nei-chung which was damaged by the rain-storm of 1889.

   30. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon.-These have been maintained in an efficient state of repair without involving any exceptional expenditure.

   31. Maintenance of Water Works.-The whole of the works enumerated in my annual report dated the 13th of January, 1892, under the heading Existing Works together with those new works described therein as complete have been maintained in a satisfactory condition without any exceptional expenditure.

212

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

 32. The Wong-nei-chung and Mint Dam reservoirs have been utilized for the supply of water to the East Point and Bowrington Sugar Refineries.

 33. During the winter of 1891-92, steps were taken to measure the minimum supply obtainable during the dry season from the Mint Dam works. From the measurements made it appears that a minimum supply of 100,000 gallons per diem can be relied on during an ordinary dry season.

 34. Satisfactory arrangements have been made during the past year by which the long pending question as to the rights of Messrs. JARDINE, MATHESON & Co. over the Mint Dam Works has been settled, the Government undertaking, in consideration of Messrs. JARDINE, MATHESON foregoing all rights over these works, to supply free of cost, 100,000 gallons per diem to the East Point Works.

 35. The Taitam and Pokfulam Filter Beds have been in constant use throughout the year. The quantity of water filtered at the former being 843,010,474 gallons and at the latter 260,364,100 gallons, giving an average rate of filtration of 848 gallons per square yard per 24 hours in the case of Taitam and 708 gallons per square yard per 24 hours in the case of Pokfulam.

 36. The total expenditure on the maintenance of the Water Works including those of the Hill District during the year 1892 has been $9,996.75 divided as follows:-

Maintaining Taitam Reservoir, Conduit and Filter Beds including supplying Sand and

cleaning Filters, $2,900.95.

Maintaining Pokfulam Reservoir, Conduit and Filter Beds including supplying Sand and

cleaning Filters, $1,038.48.

Maintaining the Distribution Works including cost of pumping water to the higher levels

of the City and the Hill District and inspection of House Services, $6,057.32.

 37. The total quantity of water supplied to the City and Hill District was 1,183,647,574 gallons so that the cost per 1,000,000 gallons supplied has been $8.45.

 38. The tabular statement in Appendix 4 shows the quantity of water abstracted from the Taitam, Pokfulam, Wong-nei-chung and Mint Dam Reservoirs during the past year.

 39. In Appendices B and C will be found diagrams prepared from the annual report of the Director of the Government Observatory dated 15th April, 1892, shewing the monthly rainfall for the last 39 years and the rainfall for the months of September to May inclusive and for the months of October to April inclusive over the same period.

 The portions coloured brown represent the actual rainfall and that coloured blue the average rainfall.

 40. The ordinary dry season may be said to extend over the months of October to April inclusive or a period of 212 days, the average rainfall for that period being 18.74 inches.

 41. When the rainfall for the months of September to May inclusive or over a period of 273 days falls much below the average as was the case in 1890 and 1891, and in 1885 and 1886, and 1886 and 1887, such period is one of exceptional drought, but their somewhat frequent occurrence points only too clearly to the necessity of exercising the utmost economy in the use of water and the most careful watchfulness against its misuse or waste.

 42. A comparatively low rainfall or one much below the average during the months of September and October generally indicates an unusually lengthened period of drought.

 43. As will be seen from the diagrams the rainfall during the dry season (October to April) of 1891 and 1892 was considerably above the average and the rainfall from September to May was also above it, consequently the scarcity of water experienced during the early part of 1891 and referred to

my last annual report was not again experienced during the early part of 1892.

in

44. In view of the mistaken idea that seems generally prevalent in the Colony that now that the big reservoir at Taitam" has been constructed there cannot possibly be any scarcity of water I make no apology for entering rather more fully into the most important question of the capabilities of the present sources of supply and storage reservoirs to meet the ordinary requirements of a population of some 146,000 persons.

 45. To take the most favourable circumstances let us say that both the reservoirs at Taitam and Pokfulam are full on the 1st of September, that is to say we have a supply of 378,000,000 gallons, to this must be added the dry weather flow into these reservoirs which amounts approximately in the case of Taitam to 150,000 gallons per diem and in the case of Pokfulam to 100,000 gallons per diem, (I say approximately for it is only recently that means have been available for ascertaining the dry weather flow at Pokfulam and in the case of Taitam no means are as yet available,) neglecting evapora- tion we get a total supply available from these sources of 446,250,000 gallons during the period of 273 days or at the rate of 1,635,000 gallons per diem giving an average allowance of 11 gallons nearly per head per diem for a population of 146,000.

46. On examining the Table 42 annexed to my last report and Appendix A it will be seen that the consumption during the months of September to May inclusive was 763,645,000 gallons or at the rate of 19 gallons per head per diem.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

213

7

   47. The supply obtainable from the Taitam and Pokfulam Catchment areas during a dry season of 273 days' duration is therefore insufficient to meet the present requirements of the City.

48. In November 1890, there being every appearance of a protracted dry season certain streams along the Taitam Conduit were intercepted.

   During the last two years some further streams have been diverted into the Taitam and Pokfulam Conduits. The dry weather yield of these springs may be taken approximately at 350,000 gallons per diem or a total of 95,550,000 gallons during a protracted dry season of 273 days' duration.

49. Adding this to the supply obtainable from the Taitam and Pokfulam Catchment areas we get a total supply of 541,800,000 gallons or 221,845,000 less than the requirements of the City during such a period.

50. Though the matter is receiving careful consideration I am not at present in a position to make any definite proposal for materially increasing the quantity of water available for distribution within the City during such seasons as I have above described, and which do actually occur from time to time as was only too evident in the winter of 1890 and 1891 when the intermittent system of supply had to be resorted to during the months of February, March, April and a portion of May.

   51. It is obvious from the foregoing that if the time has not actually arrived when steps for increasing the water supply should be taken in hand it cannot be very far off if the population of the City continues to increase. It therefore behoves every water consumer to exercise the greatest vigilance against the waste and misuse of water and to banish from his mind at once the idea that the supply contained in the "big reservoir at Taitam" is inexhaustible.

   52. Quality of Water.-I am indebted to Mr. W. E. CROW, Government Analyst, for monthly analyses of the Pokfulam and Taitam Water before and after filtration. The results of these analyses are contained in Appendices E and F, an examination of which will shew that the filters have acted effectually during the past year and the high standard of purity of the water distributed has been maintained.

   53. Consumption of Water-Various details as to the consumption of water during the past year will be found in Appendix D from which it will be seen the total consumption in the City and Hill District amounted to 1,183,647,574 gallons the maximum obtaining during the month of August and the minimum during the month of February.

   54. Taking the resident civil population at 152,000 and deducting the water supplied exclusively for trade purposes, and also that supplied for the Public Gardens and Markets, and to the Military (22,701,000 gallons) and Naval Establishments (5,044,000 gallons), we obtain an average consumption by the Civil Population for domestic purposes over the whole year of 19 gallons per head per diem.

   55. In accordance with Section 14 of the Water Works Ordinance, meters have been fixed for the supplies of several Government institutions. These are enumerated in Appendix G.

   56. During the past year the services to 2,069 houses have been inspected, of which 1,035 were found defective. These have now been put in order, though I regret to say that several instances have come to my notice where after the owners of property have gone to the expense of laying on water to premises, putting taps and fittings in order for the convenience of their tenants and the prevention of waste the improved fittings have been removed and defective ones substituted.

   57. Doubtless the improved fittings had been removed and fixed in adjoining premises by unscru- pulous persons for the purpose of putting the water services in order by the time came for their inspection.

   58. If occupiers of premises would, say even once a week, inspect the taps and fittings they would be saved a great deal of trouble and annoyance due from the loss of their property, the constant presence of workmen in their houses and the possibility of the water being temporarily cut off owing to the great waste taking place on account of the existence of defective taps and fittings.

59. In Appendix J will be found diagrams shewing the hourly consumption of water during period of 24 hours in the months of August and December, 1891, and March, June and December, 1892.

60. The consumption of water during the night doubtless strikes many not acquainted with the habits of the population as very large, but it is in a great measure accounted for especially during the summer months by the various trades the Chinese carry on during the night. The premises in which these trades are followed are gradually being singled out and meters fixed on the services. Further the lavish use of water by the nightsoil coolies for the washing out of utensils is another factor tending to swell the consumption during the night.

61. These causes do not, however, account for the whole of the night consumption. By the use of Tylors waste detecting meters, houses have been found in which taps have purposely been left run- ning, probably for the greater part of the night, owing to the erroneous impression that such a dribble of water flushes out the house drain. I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that one bucket of water poured rapidly down a drain will do more good by way of keeping it clean than 100 buckets wasted by allowing taps to run in this manner. A further source of constant waste is the prevalent practice of turning on taps and washing clothes and other articles by allowing the water to run freely over them instead of filling a bucket or tub and washing articles in such bucket or tub.

>

214

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

62. These are matters that can only be dealt with by the occupiers of premises and unless such Careless waste of water is prevented by them I can only suggest that all occupiers be called on to take their supply by meter, pay meter rent, and pay for the quantity of water actually consumed.

63. Meters.-During the year, 66 meters have been fixed varying in size from 3ths of an inch to 3 inches, making the total number now in use 130.

64. The quantity of water supplied by meter will be seen on reference to Appendix D.

65. House Service. The demands made on this department to lay on water to private tenements and repair existing defective services still continue large, 507 applications having been received and attended to during the past year, the cost being paid by the applicant.

66. The total number of houses now connected with the water mains in the City of Victoria is 3,463 and in the Hill District 79.

 67. Maintenance of Sewers.-As the new sewerage works progress the old sewers in the higher levels of the City are rapidly becoming storm-water drains only. The diversion of the sewage proper from those in the lower levels will be a work of time, but until this is done we cannot hope to get rid of the effluvia that sometimes arises from gully gratings especially during the dry season.

 68. The construction of gullies which intercept a large quantity of road detritus and other material finding its way into the side channels has doubtless caused a marked improvement in the condition of the large storm-water drains in some portions of the City.

 69. The cleaning out of these gullies and the removal of the deposit from them is, as pointed out in my last annual report, a matter of considerable importance. This work is included in the Scavenging Contract and is under the supervision of the Sanitary Board and its Officers.

 70. The whole of the sewers and storm-water drains have been maintained in a satisfactory condition without incurring any exceptional expenditure, except in one instance where a portion of the Robinson Road sewer, Kowloon, had to be taken up and re-laid on account of the roots of trees having found access into it.

 71. Though trees along the sides of roads are very useful for shade purposes they (especially banyan trees) very much interfere with the maintenance of roads and drains, and I am of opinion the planting and growth of trees along the road sides within the built area should not be further encouraged.

72. The expenditure on account of Annually Recurrent Works will be found in Appendix M. 73. Street Lighting.-The lighting of the City by Gas and Electricity has been satisfactorily carried out under the contracts with the Hongkong and China Gas Company dated 4th January, 1892. and the Electric Company dated 15th October, 1890, and 10th April, 1891, for periods of three years, 74. Gas lamps have been erected in the roads and streets of Yaumati and Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, and were first lighted on the 1st of November.

75. The total number of Gas lamps lighted in the City of Victoria is 641 and in Kowloon 78. 76. The total number of Electric lights in the City of Victoria is 75.

LAND SURVEY BRANCH.

 77. During the past year 13 land sales have taken place, the area leased being 4,129,143 square feet, including Kowloon Farm Lot No. 13 of an area of 53 acres. The premiums realized amounting to $113,562.00.

 78. A portion of Kowloon Farm Lot No. 13 has been converted into Inland Lots and 1,477,700 square feet of the adjoining property has been granted to the lessee of this lot partly as Inland and partly as Marine lots subject to special conditions as to construction of roads, sewers, &c. (C.S.O. 58).

 79. Extensions to existing lots of a total area of 267,367 square feet have been granted, premiums realized being $12,506.21.

80. Leases have been issued for the New Marine and Inland Lots reclaimed in front of the Wharf and Godown Co.'s premises at West Point comprising a total area of 85,386 square feet, and also for the New Marine Lots reclaimed at Kennedy Town comprising a total area of 202,409 square feet.

 81. Surveys have been made, boundaries corrected and plans and particulars forwarded to the Land Office for the issue of 253 leases.

 82. Surveys have been made of the villages of Pokfulam, Little Hongkong (old and new), Tai Hang Tsun, and the Chinese cemeteries at Mount Davis, Aberdeen, Stanley, Sheko, Shaukiwan, and Caroline Hill.

 83. As will be seen from the tabular statement on the next page, 1,880 squatter's licences have been issued, the fees for which amount to $6,380.89.

 84. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in the collection of fees from the squatters, several continuing to occupy Crown Land without taking out or renewing their licences.

85. It is, however, to be hoped the steps now being taken and the consideration given by the Squatters Board to the claims of many squatters in the villages, with a view to definitely defining their holdings and granting leases where practicable, will eventually place the occupation of Crown Land in the outlying villages on a satisfactory basis.

86. The claims in respect of Wongneichung, Aberdeen and Pokfulam have been considered. The lease plans and particulars for the issue of the leases in the first of these villages have been forwarded to the Land Office and the same information in respect of the two latter villages is in course of pre- paration.

87. The construction of New Roads in Kowloon has rendered practicable the settlement of some of the long outstanding questions respecting the conversion of certain Garden Lots situated in Tsim- shatsui into Inland Lots.

WORK UNDER THE BUILDING ORDINANCE.

88. During the past year 8 plans for 11 European houses, 38 plans for 221 Chinese houses, 41 plans for miscellaneous structures, and 129 plans for alterations to existing buildings have been sub- mitted, making in all 216 plans deposited under Section 69 of Ordinance 15 of 1889.

  89. Two hundred and twenty-two (222) buildings have been certified under Section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889.

90. Permission has been given to erect 41 verandahs and 12 piers over Crown Land.

91. Notices have been issued to remove or repair dangerous structures in 117 instances and to remove verandah enclosures in 3.

92. Seven hundred and ninety-five (795) miscellaneous notices and permits for the erection of scaffolding, opening roads, &c., &c., have been issued.

  93. Forty-eight (48) permits have been issued for the erection and repair of monuments and enclosures in the Colonial Cemetery, the fees for which amount to $88.16.

94. All plans deposited have been duly registered and numbered; the registers are complete up to date.

EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.

3

 95. Central Market. The difficulty experienced in getting the contractor for the construction of the foundations and walls of this building to the level of the plinth to complete his contract, delayed the entry of another contractor to complete the building until the middle of August last, though the tender of Messrs. CHAN A TONG & Co., Contract No. T; for the completion of the building was accepted in May. Since August the work has proceeded rapidly and in a very satisfactory manner. The walls are now up to within about 4 feet of the level of the upper floor and the columns, 94 in number for supporting the floor, have been erected.

96. The whole of the ironwork for the upper floor has arrived, and the erection of the girders, &c., will be proceeded with very shortly. The work already done under the present contract includes the building of 1,000 cubic yards of brickwork and 8,000 cubic feet of dressed granite, in addition to the erection of the columns before mentioned.

 97. The area of the site occupied by the market is 51,274 square feet and the floor-space on each floor is over 30,000 square feet.

 98. The Gap Rock Lighthouse.-This work was practically completed by the 1st of April last on which date the light was first exhibited.

 99. The steam tender Fame has been maintained in good order and since the completion of the Lighthouse has been used for conveying men and materials for the erection of additional quarters for the telegraph clerk now stationed at the Rock in connection with the signalling of vessels, and for the relief of the lightkeepers.

100. The Fame was handed over to the Harbour Department in September.

 101. Reclamation in front of Marine Lots 240 to 246 Kennedy Town.-This work has been carried out by this department on behalf of the owners of the above lots. During the past year 14,500 cubic yards of filling, 517 cubic yards of concrete have been deposited in this work and 4,200 cubic feet of

The work is now practically completed. masonry set.

 102. Training Albany Nullah and Branches.-This work was completed in June last. It has, however, been found advisable to extend the substantial masonry invert through the tunnel under the Albany service reservoir, and this extension is now in hand.

103. New Roads and Preparatory Work Kennedy Road Sites.-The MacDonnell Road has been completed as far as it is at present proposed to carry it, but before this road is much used it will be necessary to improve its approach from the Garden Road by extending the road for its full width to join the Garden Road, necessitating re-arranging and re-constructing the Gardeners' Cottages.

 104. The re-arrangement and re-construction of the Gardeners' Cottages will not only make a reasonable approach to the MacDonnell Road practicable but will place at the disposal of the Botanical and Afforestation Department sanitary buildings for the accommodation of its workmen and will effect a long-needed improvement in the much frequented neighbourhood of Garden Road.

 105. Re-construction of Praya Bridge over Bowrington Canal.-This work was completed and opened for traffic in March last.

 106. Cattle Depot Extension.-The extension of the Cattle Depot at Kennedy Town providing additional accommodation for 120 head of cattle was completed in June last. The total accommodation at this depot now being for 480 head. The work was carried out in a satisfactory manner by Mr. CHEUNG NAM.

107. A shed, 65 feet long by 20 feet wide, has also been erected for the storage of fodder.

 108. Slaughter House, Pig and Sheep Depot.-The preparation of the site for these buildings was completed in June last. Plans and detail drawings for the buildings have been prepared and their erection will be commenced very shortly. A report on and detail plans of this work were forwarded to you on the 26th of June and adopted by the Sanitary Board on the 21st of July.

 109. Slaughter House, Kowloon.-This building was completed in June last and meets a want long felt by the residents in British Kowloon.

 110. Public Laundries.-The ten public laundries, which were in process of erection when I wrote my last annual report, have been completed and three are at present occupied at a rental of $15 each per month.

 111. Civil Hospital Staff Quarters.-After considerable trouble with the contractor I am glad to be able to report this building was completed and occupied in June last.

 112. Quarters for Superintendent of Botanical and Afforestation Department. This building was completed in February last by Mr. YEE HING in a very satisfactory and expeditious manner.

The old quarters, which had become beyond repair and practically uninhabitable, have been

removed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

217

  113. Vaccine Institute.-This establishment was completed in March last and handed over to the Medical Department.

114. Additions to Government House. The installation of the Electric Light and internal decoration of this building have been completed during the past year. The electric lighting and decoration of the Ball room was finished early in the year, the remainder of the work was postponed till the summer.

115. Telegraph Cable to Gap Rock.--Providing telegraphic communication between the City of Victoria and the Gap Rock Lighthouse involved the construction of 5.25 statute miles of land line, and the laying of 29.80 nautical miles of cable.

  116. The land line constructed of galvanized iron wire No. 7. B.W.G. commencing at the Post Office is carried on iron poles along Pedder Street, the Praya, Zetland Street and Albert Road to the High-Level Tramway, then across Crown land on the west of the Tramway to Bowen Road, along the Bowen and Stanley Roads to Little Hongkong, and hence across Crown land to the Eastern Extension Telegraph Cable House at Deep Water Bay.

117. A connection is made with the Eastern Extension Telegraph Office for the convenience of testing. The test made on its completion gave the following results:-

Insulation resistance 1 Megohm. Conductivity resistance 67 Ohms.

118. The Cable connecting Deep Water Bay with Gap Rock is of the type known as type E (7-ton cable), the core being 130lbs. of gutta percha and 130lbs. of copper per knot protected by a brass ribbon, and was laid by the cable Steamer Store Nordiske.

Commencing from the Gap Rock the following lengths of cable were laid, viz. :-

25 fathoms covered with 10 iron wires No. 00. B.W.G.

50 fathoms covered with double covering of 10 iron wires Nos. 00 and 6. B.W.G.

50 fathoms covered with 10 iron wires No. 00. B.W.G.

29.68 miles covered with 10 iron wires No. 2. B.W.G.

making a total of 29.80 nautical miles and giving a slack of 2 p. c.

119. The test made on its completion at the Cable House, Deep Water Bay, gave the following results :--

Copper resistance 9.40 ohms per nautical mile 75°. Fah. Insulation resistance 2314.4 megohms per nautical mile. Inductive capacity .35 microfarads per nautical mile.

120. The whole of this work was done by the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies and completed in March.

121. Morse Instruments are fixed to the terminals of the line at the Post Office and Gap Rock. 122. Gaol Extension.-The question of Gaol Extension was referred by His Excellency the Governor to a Special Committee in August last.

123. The Committee reported on the 15th November as to the best means of complying with the definite conditions laid down in the Secretary of State's despatch dated the 7th of July, 1892, and submitted detail plans of the proposed works.

124. The despatch and Committee's report have already been published. (Sessional Paper 882.) 125. No expenditure on account of the proposed project has as yet been authorised.

126. Kowloon New Roads. (C.S.O. 97).-Detail plans and estimates were laid before a meeting of the Public Works Committee held on the 23rd of May for the construction of Des Voeux, Granville, Cameron, Carnarvon, East and Middle Roads, also for the construction of roads south of Inland Lots 525, 574, 609 and 442. These were unanimously approved and a contract (No. 19) was entered into with Mr. KUM LAM for carrying out the proposed works.

6

127. The roads when completed will give easy means of access to many of the new Inland Lots, and Des V?ux Road, 45 feet in width skirting the western shore of Hung Hom Bay, will doubtless be a popular resort for the residents in Kowloon."

128. During the year 400 lineal yards of the sea wall protecting Des Voeux Road have been completed and backed up to the formation level of the new road.

129. The improvements to East Road have been practically completed and the construction of Cameron, Carnarvon and Granville Roads has been commenced.

130. Re-construction of Governor's Peak Residence.--Detail plans and estimates have been prepared and tenders obtained for the preparation of a site immediately to the west of Mountain Lodge and for the erection of the new building.

218

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

:

131. The proposed building is two stories in height occupying a ground area of 9,830 square feet, the coolie quarters and offices, which are one story in height, occupy a further area of 5,128 square feet. The area of the whole site, exclusive of the present site and adjoining grounds, is nearly one acre. 132. No expenditure on this work has as yet been authorised so that the actual work of con- struction is delayed for the present.

 133. Government Offices Extension.-Plans and Estimates have been prepared for the erection of a new two, storied block immediately to the west of the present Government Offices.

 134. A report giving particulars as to the proposed accommodation, &c., was submitted on the 9th of November.

135. No expenditure on this project has as yet been authorised.

 136. New Water Mains and Distributary System of Victoria Water Works.-The New Water Mains and Distributary System has been completed during the year so far as the present requirements of the City necessitate.

137. The following is a brief description of the City of Victoria Water Works.

 138. The two main sources of water supply are the Taitam and Pokfulam valleys in each of which reservoirs are constructed with overflow levels of 496.30 and 551.86 feet above Ordnance Datum, the former having a total capacity of 312,000,000 gallons and the latter 66,000,000 gallons.

The catchment areas are respectively 680 and 416 acres.

 139. From these reservoirs the water is conveyed to the City by covered masonry conduits contour- ing the hillsides, except for a distance of 7,344 feet in the case of the Taitam Conduit and for a distance of 663 in that of Pokfulam, where the hills have been pierced by tunnels.

The length of the Taitam Conduit is 44 miles and that of Pokfulam 2 miles.

 These conduits, however, intercept several perennial springs above the built area of the City which materially increase the supply available for distribution.

 140. The conduits terminate in the Filter Beds constructed at the Albany and at West Point (at levels of 469 and 388 feet above Ordnance Datum respectively) for the purpose of filtering the water from Taitam and Pokfulam respectively.

 141. After filtration the water is received into the service reservoirs constructed in close proximity to the filter beds. The capacity of the Albany service reservoir is 5,700,000 gallons and that of the West Point 940,000 gallons.

 142. The Taitam reservoir, filter beds and service reservoirs were completed in 1888 and a detail description of these works, written by Mr. J. ORANGE, Resident Engineer, will be found in Vo?ume C of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers 1889-90.

 143. The Pokfulam reservoir was constructed in 1866, the Conduit in 1877 and the Filter Beds and Service reservoir in 1890, a description of the two latter will be found in my annual report (Water and Drainage Department) dated 7th February, 1891.

 144. Distribution Works.-For the purpose of distributing water throughout the City cast and wrought-iron mains have been laid within reasonable distance of the whole of the built area. The total length of mains now existing is 30 miles.

 145. The City has been divided into four zones and special means have been adopted to insure ample water pressure being available in the higher level and to prevent excessive pressure occurring in the mains traversing the lower levels.

 146. The upper zone between the 600- and 450-foot contours is supplied with water from a reservoir constructed at a level of 700 feet above Ordnance Datum on the west side of the Peak Road.

 147. A 6-inch cast-iron main, reducing to 4 inches in the Peak Road, is laid from the Hydraulic Motor in Garden Road to the Peak Road reservoir through which the water is pumped by the motor, houses en route being supplied direct off this main.

 148. The next lower zone between the 450- and 300-foot contours is supplied with water from the reservoirs constructed south of the Belilios Terrace and Pokfulam Filter Beds, the former at a level of 500 feet and the latter at a level of 600 feet above Ordnance Datum and containing 112,000 and 105,000 gallons respectively.

 149. A cast-iron main varying in size from 6 to 4 inches in diameter is laid between these reservoirs along the Robinson and Richmond Roads from which branch pipes are laid in the several streets of this district.

 150. The water is pumped up into the above mentioned reservoirs by Hydraulic Motors erected in the Arbuthnot and Bonham Roads pumping stations.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25?? MARCH, 1893.

219

   151. The next or third zone between the 300- and 200-foot contours is supplied direct from the Albany and West Point service reservoirs. The eastern portion by a 14-inch main laid from the Albany reservoir along Upper Albert Road to Arbuthnot Road where it bifurcates, a 12-inch branch supplying the Arbuthnot Road Motor and a 6-inch branch traversing Caine Road. The western portion by a 12-inch main laid from the West Point service reservoir to Bonham Road Pumping Station where after supplying the motor it is reduced to 10 inches in diameter and traverses the Bonham Road ultimately connecting with the 6-inch main in Caine Road.

152. The remaining portion of the City or lowermost zone is supplied with water discharged from the exhausts of the Hydraulic Motors, that from Garden Road and Arbuthnot Road motors serving the eastern and central portions as far as Sutherland Street and that from the Bonham Road Motor the portion west of Sutherland Street, the principal mains being laid down Garden Road, Hollywood Road, Queen's Road, the Praya and Wing Lok Street, varying in size from 12 to 6 inches in diameter.

   153. The Hydraulic Motors installed in the Bonham Road and Arbuthnot Road Pumping Stations were supplied by Messrs. HATHORN DAVY & Co., of Leeds and London, and consist of two power cylinders and two differential pumps.

The principal dimensions are as follows:-

155. In all the machines the motion is horizontal. In those at Bonham Road and Arbuthnot Road each power cylinder and pump is complete in itself so that one half the machinery can be worked independently of the other half.

156. The levels of the Pumping Stations floors are respectively 162, 185, and 246 feet above Ordnance Datum.

   157. Back Pressure is maintained in the exhausts so as to give a maximum pressure in the dis- tributary mains equivalent to 250 feet head of water.

   158. When the Motors are required to work during the night and the consumption of water in the City is insufficient to reduce the pressure in the exhaust to the required limit the motors are allowed to exhaust into No. 2 Tank situated in the centre of the western and central districts at a level of 218 feet above Ordnance Datum; the water stored in this tank during the night is utilized for the supply of the City during the following day.

   159. Intimately connected with these works are those for the supply of water to the Hill District, a description of which will be found in my last annual report (Water and Drainage Department) dated 13th January, 1892.

160. The mains throughout the City have been divided into districts commanded by valves so as to facilitate the execution of repairs without causing the shutting off of the water over extensive areas. They have also been arranged so that water can be pumped into the Peak Road and Belilios service reservoirs by any one of the three Hydraulic Motors.

161. Four hundred and twenty-three Fire Hydrants have been fixed, the general rule followed being to fix one at the junction of every street and where these are more than 300 feet apart one in between. Their position is indicated on the walls opposite by the letters F.H. in white on black ground.

162. One hundred and eight Public Fountains of the Madras pattern, as manufactured by Messrs. STONE & Co., have been erected for supplying water to the occupiers of tenements who have no water laid on within their premises.

163. The annexed tabular statement (Appendix K.) gives-

(a) The details of the works included in Mr. CHADWICK's report dated the 28th of December,

1889, and the estimated cost.

(b) The works actually executed and their cost as estimated.

(c) The further works required probably in the near future to complete the scheme and their

cost as estimated by Mr. CHADWICK.

164. From this it will be seen that out of the 25 miles of mains which it was originally antici- pated would be required 22 miles nearly have been laid. The Morrison Hill and Kennedy Town reservoirs have not yet been built, as there appears to be no necessity at present to construct them.

220

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

 It will, however, doubtless in the near future be necessary to replace some of the old pipes which are now in use especially those along Caine Road, though on examination their condition did not appear at present to justify the cost of replacing them.

 165. The estimated cost of the works executed was $164,516.14 and the actual expenditure has been $164,023.66.

 166. Peak Water Supply.The works for the supply of water to the Hill District were completed in 1891. The expenditure under this heading of account has been incurred for the purpose of discharg- ing outstanding liabilities for works executed towards the end of the last year.

1891

 167. Sewerage Works, City of Victoria.-During the past year the Sewerage Works in Districts Nos. 4 W. and 5 W., Contracts TT and TT respectively, have been completed. The sewerage of these districts, a portion of which was completed in 1891, involved the construction of eleven miles of pipe-sewers ranging from 6 to 24 inches in diameter, at depths varying from 3 to 15 feet, provided with manholes, ventilators and flushing arrangements.

21

20

 168. In the month of November, Contracts Nos. T and were entered into with Mr. Foo SIK for the Sewerage of Districts Nos. 2 W. and 3 W., and Contract No. 29 with Mr. CHING LAI KEE for the Sewerage of District No. 1. W.

169. Under these contracts the following works have been executed, viz. :-

In District 2 W. the laying of one-third of a mile of pipe-sewers ranging from 9 to 12 inches

in diameter.

In District 3 W. the laying of about half a mile of pipe-sewers ranging from 9 to 12 inches

in diameter.

In District 1 W. the laying of about one-quarter of a mile of pipe-sewers ranging from 12 to 15 inches in diameter making in all nearly eleven miles of pipe-sewers ranging from 6 to 24 inches in diameter with manholes, ventilators and other necessary adjuncts completed during the past year.

 170. Four hundred and fifty gullies have been fixed in the High-Level District and Districts 1 W., 2 W., 3 W., 4 W., 5 W. and 6 W.

65

 171. Sewerage of Yau Ma Ti.-In February last a Contract No. 892 was entered into with Mr. Foo SIK for the construction of these works.

 The whole of the works including one and a third miles of pipe-sewers ranging from 12 to 6 inches in diameter provided with the necessary manholes, ventilators and flushing arrangements as well as the improvement of the out-falls of the storm-water drains have been completed.

 172. Water Supply, Kowloon Peninsula.-During the early part of last year the observations and surveys necessary for the preparation of a definite project for a public water-supply to British Kowloon were completed, and in June last I submitted a report (Sessional Paper No. 3) embodying the results of the observations and details of the proposed project.

are-

31 189

173. Miscellaneous Minor Works.-The only works under this heading calling for special notice

(a) The completion of the extension of the Victoria Gap out-fall. (b) The improvement of Taitam Telephone Line.

 174. The former work involved the laying of 1,300 lineal yards of 6-inch pipes connecting the Peak Sewerage System with that of District 6 W. The latter the substitution of iron poles for the old wooden ones and re-fixing 24 miles of telephone wire completing telephonic communication between the Garden Road Motor House and Taitam Reservoir.

SUPPLEMENTARY WORKS.

 175. Yau Ma Ti Praya Wall.-This work was completed by Mr. TSANG SAM, under Contract No. 1 in March last.

16

1991

 176. Erection of Gas Lamps in British Kowloon.-The establishment of Gas Works at Yau Ma Ti by the Hongkong and China Gas Company having rendered the adoption of gas for street lighting practicable, 78 gas lamps have been erected on the Praya, Tsim Sha Tsui, Robinson Road, MacDonnell Road, Chater Road, Garden Road, Kimberley Road, Elgin Road, Austin Road, and in Station Street, Third Street, Second Street, Temple Street, Reclamation Street, Battery Street, and Praya, Yau Ma Ti. These were lighted by gas on the 1st of November last.

 177. Repairs to St. John's Cathedral.-The works involved in the thorough repairs of St. John's Cathedral prior to its being handed over to the Church Trustees were-

(a) The re-construction of the greater portion of the roof. (b) Relaying the floors of the Nave, Aisle and Transepts. (c) Colour-washing the building internally and externally.

 178., The whole of these works were completed in November last without necessitating the temporary closing of the Cathedral.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1893.

221

  179. Improved Signalling for Ships. After the completion of the Gap Rock Lighthouse and the telegraph cable it was considered advisable that ships approaching Hongkong from the South should be signalled from the Gap Rock and those approaching from the North, from Cape D'Aguilar. This necessitated the construction of telegraph clerks' quarters at the Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar also the fitting up of a telegraphic receiving room at the Post Office and the construction of a short telephone line from the Post Office to the Central Police Station.

These works were completed in September last.

It is hereby notified that Her Majesty has not been advised to exercise her power of disallowance with respect to the following Ordinances :-

No. 12 of 1892, entitled -An Ordinance to apply a sum not exceeding Two Millions Two hun- dred and Fifty-six thousand, Three hundred and Seventy-five Dollars to the Public Service of the Year 1893.

No. 14 of 1892, entitled-An Ordinance to provide for the recognition in the Colony of Probates

and Letters of Administration granted in the United Kingdom.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th March, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 109.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British Barque Penshaw, Official Number 68,930, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th March, 1893.

FINDING.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Barque Penshaw, Official Number 68,930 of Hongkong, of which JoHN SPEECHLY was Master, number of whose Certificate is 313, Hongkong, left the port of Kamagon, in the island of Alabat, in the Philippine Group, bound for Kalagua, and that she struck on a reef on the morning of the 19th February and that she was afterwards abandoned.

We find that the ship was properly found with the exception of not having any secondary anchors, these having been lost some time previous when the ship got on shore, and that she was supplied with proper charts which, however, were of little use on this occasion as the coast along which she was being navigated was unsurveyed and partly unexamined.

That after the ship struck, the Mate was sent away for assistance, but he did not succeed in getting any; the Captain and remainder of the crew also subsequently left the ship as it was feared she would break up, but that he afterwards returned with the Mate and four men leaving the others to seek for assistance and that these unaided were insufficient to make any effectual effort to save the ship.

We are of opinion that the better course for the Master to have pursued would have been to keep his boats and have laid out an anchor when first she went on shore, but we do not think he was guilty of a wrongful act or default in not doing so. He adopted what appeared to him at the time the best course to pursue in sending to get assistance from the shore, and his largest boat being away he was deprived of his only means of getting a serviceable anchor out.

We therefore find that the ship was lost through no wrongful act or default of the Master or any other of the officers or crew, and their certificates are returned to them.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 18th day of March, 1893.

The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 5th instant, is published.

By Command,

No. 7.

BOTANIC GARDENS,

HONGKONG, 28th March, 1893.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1892.

STAFF.

2. There have been no changes, except the usual number amongst the labourers, during the year, and all have been at their posts continuously, no vacation or other leave having been taken. Mr.-W. J. TUTCHER arrived from England just before the end of 1891, and took up his position as Assistant. I have much pleasure in recording my great satisfaction with the assiduous, patient, and able manner in which he has applied himself to and discharged his duties in the Gardens, and also, when required for special work, for about a fortnight, in supervising the counting of trees and tree-pits for Forestry work. The Chinese office and outdoor staffs have also given diligent and faithful service in the various capacities in which they have been employed.

3. The accommodation and facilities, which the new Offices provide, have enabled much more and efficient work to be performed than could be done in the old, cramped, and entirely unsuitable build- ing, which formerly had to be put up with. These indoor improvements have influence 1 the staff and outdoor work generally and are a great help in securing the accomplishment of superior work.

4. The usefulness of the department as a centre for the distribution of information and advice is constantly availed of by local correspondents, and others in China and all parts of the world. It is sometimes a tax to attend to the correspondence, but at all times when it is possible inquiries are cheerfully replied to, even when we gain nothing in exchange, as it would be discourteous to leave such communications unattended to.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

Improvements.

5. Alterations in the nursery consequent on the construction of the new and removal of the old buildings have been continued and are now nearly complete.

6. In my last report I mentioned that I proposed making the approach to the nursery through a plant-house abutting just opposite to the Albany on Albany Road. This house has been erected and furnished with plants, and it appears to have met with great approval, on all sides, from the Public. It was put up with material partly taken from the old building which was demolished, the ornamental front was thus put up for the very modest sum of $200. A temporary roof has been constracted until a suitable opportunity and sufficient means can be found for putting on a permanent and more ornamental one.

7. Work and store-sheds, and a carpenter's shop have also been constructed from the material of the old building, thus supplying a want which has greatly handicapped work for years past.

8. In Glenealy Ravine, just above the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the site where two water-tanks formerly stood has been filled up and a rockery for ornamental plants made on it.

9. Another small rockery a little lower down has also been made.

10. On the south side of the new road leading from the Gardens to the Roman Catholic Cathedral the formerly untidy corner has been levelled and planted.

This new road while no doubt providing to some people easier access to the Cathedral has not improved the Gardens, especially as it has brought to the neighbourhood boys who cannot be always kept out of mischief.

11. In the old Garden the ground which had become bare under the large "banian" has had a thick covering of good soil placed on it, supported by rough stones at the circumference and the whole space has been planted with Camellias.

262

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1893.

Water-Supply.

12. This has been good and uninterrupted throughout the year, except in the nursery, but an alteration in the supply pipes made by the Water and Drainage Department, has effected an improve- ment in this respect.

West Indian Limes.

13. At the suggestion of His Excellency the Governor, I applied to the Trinidad Botanic Gardens for a supply of seeds of these and the Director, Mr. HART, kindly sent me a parcel from which a nice little stock of plants was raised. Some of these have been planted in the Garden and in one of the tree nurseries, the remainder having been distributed chiefly amongst Chinese market growers who have promised to cultivate the plants in their gardens. It is hoped that by this means the Hongkong Market will in time be furnished with superior limes to those now obtainable.

Lawns.

14. The serious injury done to lawns in the Colony in 1891 and recorded in my last report, has been repeated this year, the caterpillars having re-appeared about the same time of year, namely, in the latter half of September, and continued their depredations until the end of November when with the approach of colder weather they disappeared. In 1891 numerous experiments, as reported, were tried to destroy the larva and moths without destroying the grass, but these experiments, with the exception of handpicking of the larva, and trapping of the moths, were only partly successful.

Experiments were renewed, however, when the caterpillars re-appeared, and eventually a method was discovered of destroying them without injuring the grass. In the meantime handpicking was resorted to. The article which was found successful was Jey's Fluid, one part to sixty parts of water. This was applied to the grass through the coarse rose of a large water-pot, giving sufficient of the liquid to saturate all parts of the grass above ground. Dull days, or if on clear days after the sun had gone down, were chosen in order that the liquid should take as long as possible to evaporate. Applications were found to destroy most of the caterpillars and to leave the grass uninjured, but it was necessary to repeat the process after intervals of two or three weeks, the process of depositing and hatching of eggs being continued by the moths. The remedy is somewhat expensive but it is the only one which has succeeded.

It seems probable that the mischief can be stamped out by this method, but, unfortunately, when neighbours make no effort to check the insects on their own lawns, such places are nurseries for the development of moths which will, undoubtedly, find their way to the gardens of those who make efforts to get rid of the pest.

Maintenance of Buildings, Paths, &c.

15. All the plant-houses, aviaries, sheds, roads, and paths have been kept in good repair.

Workmen's Cottages and Tool-houses.

16. As originally constructed, some of them 30 years or more ago, and others upwards of 20 years ago, these buildings were and are unsuitable, both in a sanitary and other sense, for the purposes for which they are required. They are, moreover, disreputable in appearance and an eyesore to the neighbourhood besides being right in the way of the completion of the new road recently made to open up new building sites. The sites in the vicinity of these buildings would be much depreciated in value in the eyes of would-be purchasers by the presence of these old, ugly, and insanitary buildings. It would therefore in every sense be desirable to have them demolished and re-built as soon as there may be an opportunity for so doing.

Rain Gauge.

17. By direction of His Excellency the Governor a rain gauge has been obtained from England and fixed in a suitable position for measuring and recording rain-fall in the Gardens. It was in position in time for records to be commenced from January 1st of this year, and in future the records. will be published in the departmental report.

18. It might be interesting and useful to supplement the rain gauge by maximun and minimum and dry and wet bull thermometers for observing temperature and atmospheric moisture.

Garden Rules.

19. Some desirable alterations being required in the Rules for the maintenance of order in, and admission of the Public to, the Gardens the Rules were revised, authorised, and published in the Government Gazette in Notification No. 473 of the 19th November, 1892.

Amongst other alterations the time for closing the gates was made a little earlier in order that they should not be open after dark, at which time the darkness afforded facilities for irregularities which could not be checked so well as in daylight.

Plant Sales.

   22. Improvements in the nursery have, besides being of much advantage to the Gardens, enabled better and more work to be done in providing plants for the Public. 2,307 plants were sold, the amount realised for them and some seeds being $612.57. There are increases of, in plants 423, and in money $268.80 over the sales of the preceding year.

   23. It will be remembered that the Gardens do not derive any benefit from the sale of plants, the receipts being paid into the Treasury and not credited to this department, nor is it designed that the Government should derive benefit from the transactions, those who benefit being the Public only; it is calculated that the prices charged for plants shall be about the cost of their propagation and cultiva- tion only.

Loan of Plants for Decoration.

24. Not quite so many plants were applied for as in the previous year. The number of applicants was 16 as against 19 in 1891, and the plants lent 1,688 as against 2,746 in the previous year.

264

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1893.

Herbarium and Library.

 25. The collections of dried plants and books were transferred to their quarters in the new building in the early part of the year. The herbarium is commodious, and well adapted for the preservation of plants, which can now be examined and studied with comfort and convenience by any one wishing to do so.

 26. In consequence of pressure of other work, and of the cramped place where the plants were formerly kept work in the herbarium was almost suspended in 1891, but during the year under review a considerable number of plants were prepared and incorporated, and arrears have been mostly worked

up.

27. My thanks are due to Dr. A. HENRY for a valuable collection of 742 species of plants from his Central China collections, and to the Royal Gardens, Kew, for 127 species of miscellaneous plants. 28.

FORESTRY.

Planting Operations.

265

29. In this branch of the department's operations, as in the Gardens, a great deal more work was accomplished than in the previous year. The total number of trees placed in permanent positions was 356,663 as against 115,081 in the previous year, that is upwards of three times the quantity. Appendix 4. gives a tabular statement of the kinds and numbers of trees planted and the localities where they were planted.

Protective Service.

30. The number of offenders brought before the Police Magistrates by Forest Guards was 101, out of which 92 convictions were obtained. This is an increase in the number of cases of 22 and of convictions of 15 as compared with the year 1891. Out of the 92 convicted persons 29 paid fines amounting to $87.50, the remainder, 63, were imprisoned for terms ranging from three days up to two months each. The lowest fine was 50 cts., and the highest $10.

31. The service was worked with the usual number of Forest Guards, but arrangements have been sanctioned for a slight increase this year.

32. The majority of offences are in each case trivial, but if these slight offences were overlooked they would undoubtedly quickly develop into more serious damages to trees.

Grass Fires.

33. There were 63 fires recorded, which destroyed about 2,000 trees.

34. I have again to thank the Police Officers at various out-stations for valuable services in reporting and extinguishing grass fires.

35. The system of fire barriers throughout the Colony was efficiently maintained, 41 miles of old barriers having been cleared and 2 miles of new ones made just before the approach of the dry season.

36. For the purpose of repressing grass fires which to a large extent are caused by people con- ducting ancestral worship at tombs scattered all over the hills, a Register of Graves has been obtained for the use of this department, so that in the event of the origin of fires being traced to certain graves the worshippers may have the responsibility fixed on them. The Register affords information of the locality of each grave and the address of the person or persons interested in its maintenance and accustomed to pay the annual tribute to ancestors. Tomb-worshipping takes place in the autumn and spring of each year, when this department stations men in the vicinity of cemeteries and graves to extinguish fires which may occur. The Register was obtained just before the late autumnal festival, and the people were acquainted with its object and admonished to exercise greater care in the use of fire. These efforts had a very happy result, very few, and they are insignificant, fires having taken place, which went far to prove that grass fires may be prevented with ordinary care.

37. I have to thank the Honourable the Registrar General, and the late Major-General GORDON, Captain Superintendent of Police, and the Officers acting under him, for this Register, the Officers in charge of out-stations having collected the information for me.

  38. The Register records contain 1,164 graves in Hongkong and Kowloon. The localities, and number of graves in each, will be found in Appendix C.

  39. Fortunately, no graves are now allowed to be made outside cemeteries, but it will be a long time before all interest has ceased in those which remain, therefore vigilance must not be relaxed in exercising efficient control over them.

Thinning of Plantations, &c.

40. The total number of trees removed from plantations during the year was 31,108 which realized $492.33. The total revenue for forestry products was $534.40. That for 1891 was $601.31.

41. Appendix B. gives the statistics of this work.

D. Official Assignee's Commission,

Under the new Bankruptcy Ordinance, No. 20 of 1891, which came into force on the 1st January, 1892, the office of Official Assignee in all new cases is abolished, and this Commission is now only chargeable on sums recovered in Bankruptcies prior to that date and will ultimately disappear as a source of revenue.

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, 1893.

2. Immediately after the coming into operation of this Ordinance, the Director of Public Works of this Colony together with WILLIAM DANBY, Esquire, of Hongkong, Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, hereinafter called the Valuers, shall estimate the probable cost of the removal and re-erection in like situations, abutting on the new Praya, of the aforesaid five Government Public Piers and Wharves and of each of the private Piers and Wharves along the line of the said Reclamation, existing at the date of the passing of The Praya Reclamation Ordinance, and shall also estimate the amounts which should be deducted in each case from the amount of such cost for structural depreciation at the time of the passing of The Praya Re- clamation Ordinance, 1889, and when the Valuers have agreed as to the amount of such estimates or in case of difference, when the Umpire, hereinafter mentioned, shall have decided the sums to be inserted they shall duly cause to be prepared a Table of Compensation in which shall be entered

As regards (b) the amounts shall be arrived at as fol- lows: From the sum of $180,000 shall be deducted the "Public proportion of compensation" and the fees payable under section 9, and the balance shall be divided pro rata between the said private Wharves and Piers according to the estimated probable cost of removal and re-ercction after deducting therefrom the estimated amount for structural depreciation.

3. Should the said Valuers fail to agree in respect of any or all of the amounts to be entered in the aforesaid Table they shall refer the matters in which they shall so fail to agree to His Honour Chief Justice FIELDING CLARKE, hereinafter called the "Umpire," who shall duly consider the respective views of the aforesaid Valuers and such facts or statements as they shall lay before him and decide the sum to be inserted in the said Table.

4. Such Table shall be in the form in Schedule A to this Ordinance. The Table when completed shall be signed by the said Valuers and also by the Umpire, if any amount contained therein has been decided by him, and shall be published in the Government Gazette, and thereupon it shall be final and binding on all persons in respect of the amounts to be paid on account of each Wharf and Pier named therein.

5. Within one month from the publication of the said Table in the Gazette, there shall also be published in the Gazette a List of the respective persons to whom it is pro- posed to pay the respective sums mentioned in the said Table.

If, in any particular instance or instances, any person has any objection to payment being made to the person or per- sons named in the said List, le may, within three months from the date of the publication of such List, send in writ- ing to the Colonial Secretary his objection and the reason thereof and the name or names of the persons to whom he alleges payment should be made.

6. In all cases where no such objection is made within the time mentioned or where such objection, if made, is withdrawn in writing, it shall be lawful for the Governor to direct payment of the respective sums mentioned in such Table to be made, in due course, to the persons mentioned in such List and the receipts of such persons respectively shall be good and valid discharges to the Government for all sums so paid and from all further liability to payment with regard to the Wharves or Piers in respect of which such sums have been paid.

7. In any cases where objection has been made as afore- said and not withdrawn and in any case where difficulty may arise as to the person or persons to whom payment should be made, or otherwise, the sums mentioned in the Table in respect of any particular Wharves or Piers may be paid into the Supreme Court to the Registrar of the said Court on behalf of the persons who may be entitled thereto respectively, and thereupon such Court may exercise Sum- mary Jurisdiction with regard to such sums, and may sum- mon before it all parties claiming to be interested in or entitled to any such sum, and may hear and determine such claims and may finally decide what shall be done with any money so paid in, and may make such orders as to payment out of Court or otherwise and as to costs as to such Court may seem right. There shall be no appeal from the deter- mination of such Court.

8. The respective sums published in the aforesaid Table shall be payable as hereinafter mentioned, viz. :-

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th April, 1893.

CIRCULAR.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

28th February, 1893.

 With reference to my Predecessor's Circular despatch of 25th March, 1890, I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication in the Colony under your Government, copies of notes which have been exchanged between Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Belgrade and the Servian Minister for Foreign Affairs, prolonging until the 1st/13th July, 1893, the Provisional Commercial Agreement of the 2nd/14th of February, 1890, between Great Britain and Servia.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

RIPON.

EXCHANGE OF NOTES PROLONGING TO JULY 1, 1893, THE PROVISIONAL COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT OF FEBRUARY 14, 1890, BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SERVIA.

Belgrade, January 1893.

(1.)

Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Belgrade to the Servian Minister for Foreign Affairs.

M. LE MINISTRE,

BELGRADE, January 4, 1893.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of this date, in which you inform me that the Servian Government adhere to their desire to prolong the Provisional Commercial Agreement of the 14th February, 1890, for six months only from the 1st (13th) January, 1893.

 I regret that your Excellency has found it impossible to accede to the wish of Her Majesty's Government, that the prolongation should be for a year, but under the circumstances I am authorized by the Earl of Rosebery, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to accept on behalf of her Majesty's Government the prolongation of the Provisional Commercial Agreement between England and Servia for six months, that is to say till the 1st (13th) July, 1893.

I have also the honour to repeat to your Excellency that when the Servian Government make known their wishes with respect to a new Commercial Treaty, their communication will receive the early attention of Her Majesty's Government, who are prepared at once to commence negotiations.

 I trust your Excellency will do me the honour to send an early reply on behalf of the Servian Government, and avail myself, &c.

(Signed)

(2.)

VAUX OF HARROWDEN.

The Servian Minister for Foreign Affairs to Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Belgrade.

MY LORD,

(Translation.)

BELGRADE, December 29, 1892. (January 10, 1893).

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the note in which you were good enough to inform me that Lord Rosebery, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, had authorized you to accept, in the name of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty, the prolongation until the 1st (13th) July, 1893, of the provisional commercial arrangement concluded between England and Servia on the 14th February, 1890.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH APRIL, 1893.

303

The object of the present exchange of notes being to establish the agreement arrived at between the two Governments, the necessary instructions will be sent to the Customs authorities of Servia, with the view to the agreement being carried into effect.

I have, consequently, the honour, my Lord, to have recourse to your good offices in begging you to be good enough to make the necessary communication to your High Government, in order that similar instructions may be given to the Customs authorities of the United Kingdom.

In conformity with the wish expressed by you, in the name of your Governinent, I will not fail to take the necessary steps in order that, after having taken the advice of my colleague, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, negotiations may shortly be commenced between our two Governments, with the view to the conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Commerce.

(1496.) NANB? SHOT? (ISLANDS SOUTH OF TOKYO GULF).-ANCHORAGE ON HACHIJ?-JIMA.

The following information has been received from Navigating Lieutenant R. YEGUCHI of II.I.J.M.S. Vaye-yama 22nd February 1893, that Borawasawa bay situated on the South-east end of Hachij?-jima, affords anchorage in 19 fathoms water (sand) on nearly the aligument of the entrance points, distant mile from Mikoshita rock.

   Off this anchorage two rocks named Uro-o-ne lie close to each other; the former is forty feet high above water, the latter is an awash rock. From this anchorage toward the watering place (close to two huts) on the northern shore of the bay, the water shoals rather quickly to 17,15, and 11 fathoms, then 9 and 10 fathoms abreast Uro-o-ne rocks, thence the depths decrease gradually until the bottom (sand) will be visible.

About half mile westward of the south point of the bay is a landing place for boats, and near ?gag?, a village of the west side of this island is a cove named Yaye-ne. It is said that, mail steamers will anchor in Borawasawa, Yaye-ne, or Kami-minato according to the directions of wind. (See appended sketch.)

(1496.) NANB? SHOT? (ISLANDS SOUTH OF TOKYO GULF).-ANCHORAGE ON HACHIJ?-JIMA.

The following information has been received from Navigating Lieutenant R. YEGUCHI of II.I.J.M.S. Vaye-yama 22nd February 1893, that Borawasawa bay situated on the South-east end of Hachij?-jima, affords anchorage in 19 fathoms water (sand) on nearly the aligument of the entrance points, distant mile from Mikoshita rock.

   Off this anchorage two rocks named Uro-o-ne lie close to each other; the former is forty feet high above water, the latter is an awash rock. From this anchorage toward the watering place (close to two huts) on the northern shore of the bay, the water shoals rather quickly to 17,15, and 11 fathoms, then 9 and 10 fathoms abreast Uro-o-ne rocks, thence the depths decrease gradually until the bottom (sand) will be visible.

About half mile westward of the south point of the bay is a landing place for boats, and near ?gag?, a village of the west side of this island is a cove named Yaye-ne. It is said that, mail steamers will anchor in Borawasawa, Yaye-ne, or Kami-minato according to the directions of wind. (See appended sketch.)

The following Finding of the Marine Court held on the 13th instant, to enquire into the conduct of R. SIMPSON, Second Mate, and J. H. VERRALL, Third Mate, of the British Steam-ship Cape Colonna, Official No. 96,138, is published.

By Command,

FINDING.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colon al Secretary.

After having heard and carefully considered the evidence given before the Court in the presence of the accused Officers, R. SIMPSON and J. H. VERRALL, as also the appeal of Counsel on their behalf, and having taken into consideration their admission through their Counsel of the charges brought against them, we find,-

First as regards J. H. Verrall, 3rd Officer.

In this case after having been disgracefully drunk over night he directly disobeyed the lawful orders of the Master on the day following that he should remain on board the ship. He left the ship about 10 A.M. and did not return until 2.30 A.M. the next day being then under the influence of liquor.

Next as regards R. Simpson, 2nd Officer.

 In this case, having been spoken to by the Master about the trouble in the ship caused by drunken- ness he was himself drunk that same evening, that he was cautioned the next morning by the Master and warned that as the Master and Chief Officer had to go on shore he would be left in charge of the ship and that he should keep himself sober and the others also so far as he was able. Notwithstanding which he was drunk and asleep in the forecastle that very same afternoon.

The Court are of opinion that the mere discharge of these Officers from the ship would not fully meet the case and they therefore adjudge that

 The Certificate of Competency of JonN HENRY VERRALL, No. 00,569, as second Mate, dated at West Hartlepool on 6th April, 1892, be suspended for a period of 6 months from this date.

 And that the Certificate of Competency of ROBERT SIMPSON, No. 024,748, as second Mate, dated at Bristol 9th January, 1892, be suspended for a period of 6 months from this date.

COMMERCIAL CONVENTION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND ROUMANIA.

Signed at Bucharest, August 13, 1892.

[Ratifications exchanged at Bucharest, January 31, 1893.]

323

  HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, and His Majesty the King of Roumania, being mutually desirous of consolidating their ties of friend- ship and of developing the commercial relations between the two States, have, with this object, determined to conclude a Convention, and have named as their respective Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:

  His Majesty the King of Roumania, M. Lascar Catargi, Grand Cross of His Order of the Star of Roumania, &c., &c., &c., President of His Council, Minister Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior, and Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs;

Who, after having communicated to each other their Full Powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles :-

ARTICLE I.

The subjects, vessels, and goods, produce of the soil and industry of each of the two High Con- tracting Parties, shall enjoy, in the dominions of the other, all privileges, immunities, or advantages granted to the most favoured nation.

It is, however, understood that the foregoing stipulation does not in any way affect the special Laws, Ordinances, and Regulations with regard to trade, industry, police, and public security, in force in each of the two countries, and applicable to all foreigners in general.

ARTICLE II.

All articles, produce of the soil or industry of Great Britain and Ireland, which shall be imported into Roumania, and all articles, produce of the soil or industry of Roumania, which shall be imported into Great Britain and Ireland, whether destined for consumption, warehousing, re-exportation, or transit, shall be subjected, as long as this Convention holds good, to the same treatment, and, especially, shall be liable to no higher or other duties than the produce or goods of the most favoured

nation.

No higher or other duties shall be levied in Great Britain and Ireland on the exportation of goods to Roumania, or in Roumania on the exportation of goods to Great Britain and Ireland, than may be levied on the exportation of the like goods to the country the most favoured in this respect.

Each of the High Contracting Parties undertakes that the other shall enjoy immediately every favour, privilege, or reduction of duties which have been already granted, or may be granted hereafter, under the above-named conditions, by similar Treaties to a third Power.

Goods of all kinds coming from, or proceeding to, the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties shall be exempted, in the territory of the other, from all transit dues. Most-favoured-nation treatment is mutually guaranteed to each of the Contracting Parties, in all that concerns transit.

ARTICLE III.

The subjects of each of the two High Contracting Parties shall be exempted, in the territory of the other, from all military service and from all extraordinary requisitions which may be established on account of exceptional circumstances.

The liabilities, however, arising out of the possession of landed property, and for military loans and requisitions to which all the subjects of the State may be called upon to contribute as proprietors, farmers, or tenants of real property, shall be excepted.

ARTICLE IV.

The present Convention shall be applicable, as far as the laws permit, to all the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, excepting to those hereinafter named, that is to say, except to-

India.

ARTICLE V.

The two High Contracting Parties reserve to themselves reciprocally the right of denouncing at any time the present Convention by giving a year's notice.

ARTICLE VI.

The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Bucharest as soon as possible, as soon as the formalities required by the Constitutional Laws of the two High Contracting Parties have been fulfilled.

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

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

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

SHIPPING.

2. The total of arrivals and sailings amounted to 14,152,849 tons or an advance on 1891 of 147,151 tons. There were 36,470 arrivals with a tonnage of 7,104,888 tons, and 36,210 departures of 7,047,961 tons. The increase in European constructed vessels numbers 267, aggregating 15,109 tons. There is a decrease in the foreign junk trade of 213 junks representing 71,042 tons, against which may be set an increase in the local junk trade of 6,586 vessels measuring 203,084 tons.

   4. The substantial increase in British shipping is represented to a great extent by a number of new vessels which found employment during the year, such as the Argus (1 trip), Aden (4), Argyle (2). Baron Douglas (1), Chelydra (9), Camelot (2), Catherine Apcar (3), Charters Tower (17), City of Belfast (1), Glenesk (4), Hupeh (10), Hongay (4), Java (1), Kongsee (1), Loksang (17), Malacca (4), Ocampo (2), Ooryia (1), Palmas (2), Pekin (14), Shantung (8), Strathesk (1), Taksang (12), Ulysses (2), also a number of old vessels that have been absent for years have re-appeared, viz. :-the Energia (2), Ethiope (2), Kowshing (14), Lunedale (1), Norna (1), Port Adelaide (1), Port Phillip (1), Recorder (1), Strathavon (1), Strathallan (1), Strathdee (1), Teresa (7), Torrington (4), Victoria (2), Wakefield (1). Some of these craft have undoubtedly replaced other vessels, but the bulk are competing with some of the old lines or are additions to other old lines; averaging 1,800 tons a ship.

5. The considerable decrease in foreign shipping is due chiefly to shipwreck, and sale.

   The Ashington, sold to the Japanese in 1892, called at Hongkong 5 times as against 23 times in 1891. Amoy, sold to Japanese in 1892, entered 10 times and in 1891, 35 times.

Peking, lost; 10 entries in 1892 against 32 times in 1891.

Aron, Norwegian Barque, lost; Escort, American Barque, lost. The Chinese river-boat Kiang Kwan taken off the run in February, 1891.

None of these craft have been replaced by others.

   6. The 1,670 British ships, exclusive of River steamers, that entered the port in 1892 carried 11,606 British Officers and 166 Foreigners, as follows:

 9. In European constructed vessels, the general import trade, as represented by the amount of shipping entering, amounted to 1,522,551 tons, from places other than China and adjacent countries ; while the imports, judged by the same standard, but from places in and adjacent to China, amounted to 3,644,387 tons, making a total import tonnage in European constructed vessels, of 5,166,938 tons.

 10. Again, the general export trade, still judged as before, amounted to 1,171,280 tons, to places other than China and adjacent countries; while, to those places, it amounted to 3,955,934 tons making a total of export tonnage in European constructed vessels of 5,127,214 tons.

Analysing the above and comparing with 1891, we get as follows:--

 11. Compared with the average of the past three years, the Foreign Junk Trade shows a shrinkage of 154,391 tons and 482 vessels, whilst the Local trade for the same period has increased 306,828 tons with 8,768 vessels.

 12. The Foreign Junk trade for 1892 shows a falling off of 71,042 tons from that of 1891. The principal decreases are to Macao where, doubtless, the launches Perseverance and Wing Yuen, regularly plying thither, have "cut into" them; also the Kwong Mo (now up for sale). The decrease on the Pearl River is probably due to bad rice seasons and foreign competition.

 13. The large increase shown in the Local Junk trade for 1892 over that of 1891 is chiefly due to the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance (No. 26 of 1891); all ballast boats employed on the Praya Reclamation as Junks, being now licensed, as well as all the other craft that previously claimed exemption, but over which it was desirable that some supervision should be kept.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MAY, 1893.

GENERAL.

385

14. 4,396 steamers, 103 sailing vessels and 31,971 junks arrived during the year, giving an average of 99 vessels arriving daily in the waters of the Colony as against 90 the year before; of the steamers 71 per cent. were British, an increase of 5 per cent. from 1891; of these, 51 per cent. were Ocean-going" as against 52 the year before, and of the Foreigners, 2 per cent. were river craft, a decrease of 9 per cent. on the previous year.

  15. From the foregoing it will be seen that, Hongkong in 1892 still held its place in the shipping world, a comparison showing once more an increase of shipping frequenting the Port.

  16. The extent of the trade of the Colony, unfortunately, cannot be analysed by Import and Export Returns, and the only practical way of making a comparison, year by year, is by means of the amount of tonnage entering and clearing, and no erroneous deduction need be drawn from such a comparison, for, in no shipping Return, the wide world over, could any sane person conclude that, the figures show- ing the tonnage of shipping frequenting the Port, professed to represent also the number of tons of merchandize landed and shipped at that port.

  17. But in the absence of actual figures to tell us exactly how our import and export trade pro- gresses we may, I think, with the materials at hand draw a fair inference from the experience of other countries.

Of the United Kingdom as well as of 21 British Possessions, large and small, in various parts of the world, from the Dominion of Canada down to Fiji, I find, on reference to statistics for the 10 years 1881-1890, that in each case increased tonnage entering and clearing carried with it increased value of imports and exports.

  I am also fortunately able to carry my investigations beyond the United Kingdom and British Possessions, and from the statistics published by the Imperial Maritime Customs of China to obtain a result similar to the above in a comparison of the trade of China for the 5

years 1888-1892.

  In 1888 the total tonnage entered and cleared under the cognizance of the Imperial Maritime Customs was 22,307,859 with a total trade value of 546,581,188 Haikwan Taels.

In 1892 when the tonnage had increased to 29,440,575, this increase had been accompanied by an increase in the value of the trade to 654,391,478 Haikwan Taels.

The inference which I draw from this is that, tonnage can in a great measure be reasonably construed as an indication of trade, and that, if an increase in tonnage means elsewhere an increase in trade, it probably has the same meaning in Hongkong also..

The inference is materially strengthened by the following figures for which I am also indebted to the published Reports of the Imperial Maritime Customs and which exhibit the growth of the Hong- kong share in the distribution of the trade with China during the last four years:-

  Here then we have undeniable proof of the gratifying circumstance that so far as regards our most important market, China, our trade has considerably increased during the last four years.

  18. It is true also that a great number of the vessels calling at Hongkong do not make any long stay, but the period of their stay cannot be considered as a standard to judge of the trade of the Colony. It is nothing new to learn that Hongkong is merely a "distributing centre"; it always has been such, and it is not more so now than it was ten or even twenty years ago (except in so far as the amount to be distributed has increased) so that the raison d'etre of a large proportion of the tonnage of the port must of necessity be, as it always has been, "transhipment and branch line requirements," and there has been no suggestion to the contrary in the Returns annually issued by this Department. But, seeing that our communication with the outside world can only be carried on by means of ships, it is somewhat remarkable to find this fact of Hongkong being a "distributing centre" being used as an argument to prove that the tonnage of the port is no indication of the amount of trade.

--..

386

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MAY, 1893.

  19. That the number of steamers entering 13 times and over during the year-that is to say more than once a month-has increased, might, I think, be considered as indicating that their employment is not unprofitable to their owners; all these are engaged in the "coasting" or "distributing" trade, or in other words, in the "transhipment of cargo and branch line requirements", and from the fact of there being no falling off in the number and tonnage of these, (but rather the contrary) one might reasonably conclude that there is still a considerable amount of trade arriving, and requiring distribu- tion; and, seeing that this latter trade occupied 963 vessels aggregating 1,522,551 tons trading between Hongkong and places other than China and adjacent countries, we can be well content that our ship- ping trade is, in so far a flourishing state as not to necessitate steamers being laid up for want of profitable work, as has been the case at Home for instance, but rather that their employment is suffi- ciently remunerative to admit of increased dividends being paid, and substantial sums carried forward to the current half-year, as for instance in the case of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company. (Vide report published in local papers 31.1.93.)

20. Moreover, from whatever cause ships come to Hongkong, whether it be to land goods or to tranship them, the result on the Revenue of the Colony is the same, as the only direct tax on shipping is "light dues," which increase in direct proportion to the increase of tonnage inwards, and it is worthy of note that, notwithstanding the depression in the shipping trade all over the world, our tonnage inwards slightly increased last year, which-if only so far as the Revenue is concerned-cannot be considered as anything but satisfactory.

REVENUE.

21. The total Revenue collected by the Harbour Department during the year was $181,057.85. This is an increase of $16,485.93 over last year, and compared with the average of the last 5 years it shows an increase of $53,549.24.

It was made up as follows:-

1. Light Dues,

2. Licences and Internal Revenue,

$ 92,309.62

3. Fees of Court and Office,

29,939.70 58,808.53

$ 181,057.85

STEAM-LAUNCHES.

  22. On the 31st December, there were 137 steam-launches employed in the Harbour, of these 51 were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 59 were privately owned, 11 were the property of the Colonial Government together with a floating Steam Fire Engine, and 5 belonged to the Imperial Government, in the charge of the Military Authorities. All these launches, except those which belong to Her Majesty or to any Foreign Government, are obliged to have a certificated Master and Engineer; the Certificates of these men are liable to suspension or cancellation should they prove negligent or incompetent. One Master's Certificate was suspended during the year for a period of one month.

EMIGRATION.

  23. The promise held out in 1891 of a revival of Emigration has to some extent been realised, the numbers last year amounted to 52,143, being an increase of 6,981 over the previous year. Until however new fields are opened, we cannot hope for any substantial revival in this branch of trade.

During the year 476 ships reported having brought to Hongkong 97,991 Chinese passengers returning from various places to which they had emigrated.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

24. During the year 4 vessels of 2,146 tons were registered under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act 1854, and 5 Certificates of Registry with a total of 3,592 tons were cancelled. Return No. XVIII shows the remainder of the work done in this branch.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

25. 79 cases were heard in this Court with 178 defendants. Refusal of duty (17) and assault (7) were the principal offences in the case of ships; Breach of Harbour Regulations (12) and Leaving without Clearance (12) in the case of Junks.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE 26 OF 1891.

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

1. On the 27th January,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British S.S. Namchow, Official No. 63,588 of Penang, in the vicinity of Breaker Point, China Sea, on the morning of the 8th January. All the Officers were lost.

2. On the 24th June, 1892,-Inquiry as to the stranding of the British ship John McLeod, Official No. 90,742 of St. John, New Brunswick, on the South-West edge of the Pratas Shoal, China Sea, on the morning of the 28th May. The Master's (OSCAR HILL HENDERSON) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

388

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MAY, 1893.

3. On the 15th July, 1892,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British S.S. Haiphong, Official No. 88,838 of Hongkong, on the rocks about two miles West of Iro-osaki Light, Japan, on the morning of the 28th June. The Master's (WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER) Certificate of Competency was suspended for two months.

4. On the 21st October, 1892,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British S.S. Bokhara, Official No. 68,397 of Greenock, on Sand Island, Pescadores, China Sea, on the night of the 10th October. The only surviving Officers being the Chief Officer, 3rd and 4th Officers. The Court was of opinion that the Master (CHARLES DAWSON SAMS) committed an error of judgment, and no blame was attached to any of the other Officers.

THE SUNDAY CARGO-WORKING ORDINANCE, 1891.

28. 31 Permits were issued during the year aggregating $4,800 in fees.

SEAMEN.

29. 12,769 seamen were shipped and 13,449 discharged at the Shipping Office and on board ships during the year, the discrepancy is owing to the number of seamen shipped at the Consulates of which we have no record.

30. 378 distressed seamen were received during the year; of these, 90 were sent to the United Kingdom, 7 to Sydney, 6 to Vancouver, 16 to Bombay and 2 to Calcutta, 4 died and 253 obtained employment. On the 31st December, 1892, 6 were in Government Civil Hospital, 1 in Lunatic Asylum, and 1 on board Hygeia (Small-pox Hospital). $6,599.50 were expended by the Board of Trade in the relief of these men, and $57.28 by the Colony.

 33. The Gap Rock was established as a Lighthouse Station during the year, the light being exhibited for the first time on the 1st April. The European Lightkeepers selected by the Trinity House Corporation arrived and assumed their duties on the 13th June. Some difficulty was experienced with the "Douglass Burners" sent out for use at this Station, these have now been replaced by 6 wicked" Trinity House Burners" with satisfactory results. The Fog Signal Apparatus was also erected during the year but up to 31st December there had not been occasion to make use of it.

34. Telegraphic communication has been established between the Gap Rock and the Post Office, from whence a branch telephone is taken to the Harbour Office and other places.

 35. There is also communication fortnightly with the Rock for the purpose of changing the keepers and supplying stores. The tug Pilot Fish, belonging to the Dock Company, is hired for this purpose. Landing on the Rock on these occasions has never been absolutely prevented by the weather though on some occasions it has been attended with difficulty, and it was thought advisable on these occasions not to attempt to land such stores as required to be handled with care.

36. The other Lighthouse Stations remain as before and there is nothing that calls for remark concerning their working.

37. The establishment, however, of a Lighthouse on Waglan Island by the Chinese Authorities will render D'Aguilar Light unnecessary. I would recommend its being removed to Green Island, where, being a long distance light, it would "cut in" with the Gap Rock Light, and a vessel after getting hold of the latter would have a leading light right up to the Harbour. If this change were made, I would further recommend the present Green Island Light being placed at Cape Collinson, and the Cape Collinson Light, with a slight modification, placed as a Harbour Light on Kowloon Point. These changes would, I think, be a great improvement to the Lighting of Hongkong.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MAY, 1893.

SIGNALLING OF VESSELS.

389

   38. Owing to the representation of various Mercantile Firms an addition has been made in the system of signalling vessels arriving at the Port, these are now telegraphed to the Post Office from Gap Rock direct, and from Cape d'Aguilar, by telephone and telegraph through Shaukiwan and the Central Police Station, the information is posted at the Post Office and is forwarded to Kowloon Point where the necessary signals indicating the arriving vessels are made with flags. I am not aware how much benefit accrues to the mercantile community from the establishment of these signals at Kowloon, but, if I may express an opinion, I should say not much, and I think the disestablishment of the Peak Signal Station would be a great loss and inconvenience to the general community, whose interest lies in the Mail steamers only, and who are not concerned with the arrival of any others.

The following Report of the Acting Postmaster General for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th May, 1893.

No. 16.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

HONGKONG, April 7th, 1893.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the following report on the British Postal Service in Hong- kong and China during the year 1892.

  2. On the 16th April, I took over charge of the Department, consequent upon the departure of Mr. TRAVERS on furlough.

3. The Postal Union Convention, which was ratified at Vienna on the 4th July, 1891, came into force on the 1st July, 1892. Under this Convention the dimensions of Sample Packets have been increased from 20 centimetres by 10 by 5 (8 in. by 4 in. by 2 in.) to 30 centimetres by 20 by 10 (12 in. x 8 in. × 4 in.); the limit of weight, which under the Convention of Paris was 250 Grammes (8 oz), was left to be arranged between individual Offices of the Postal Union, and through the representations of the London Office, it was arranged that from the 1st October, packets of patterns or samples of Merchandise of a maximum weight of 350 Grammes (12 oz.) might be exchanged between British Colonies and the following countries:-Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Congo Free State, Costa Rica, Egypt, France, Greece, Guatemala, Hawaii, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Liberia, Luxemburg, Mexico, Portugal, Roumania, Salvador, Servia, Siam, Switzerland, Tunis, and the United States.

  4. On the 1st July, the British Colony of Natal entered the Universal Postal Union. During the year the French Post Office established agencies in Madagascar, at Ambositra, Andevoraute, Fenerive, Fiaranantsoa, Foulpointe, Ivondro, Maevatanana, Mahambo, Mahanoro, Mahela, Maintirano, Mananjary, Morotsangana, Nossi-ve, Antananarivo, Vatomandry and Vohemar. Correspondence to and from these places, as also to and from the French Post Offices at St. Mary, Tamatave and Majunga is subject to the conditions of the Postal Convention.

5. The past year will be ever remembered as that in which the Mail Steamer Bokhara was wrecked on Sand Island (Pescadores) on the 10th October, and all but 23 lives lost. The Mails lost by this disaster were as follows:-

Forming part of these Mails there were 76 Registered Articles from Shanghai and 29 from the Agencies North of Shanghai. There were also 65 Parcels for the United Kingdom. A small packet of correspondence was received at the end of the month from Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Tainan which had been recovered from the wreck. One of the letters in the packet was found to contain a Bank Note for $10. This letter was duly forwarded to the addressee, a poor woman resident in Macao. Three others it was also possible to forward to their destination, the remainder of the Package consisted principally of press copies of letters.* In February last a second package was received through the P. & O. S. N. Company which also consisted principally of press copies in a more or less torn and illegible condition.* In this packet a few leaves of a Bible were found in a fairly good state, but unfortunately there is nothing to show to whom the Book belonged. It is, I think, doubtful whether anything further will be recovered.

* Most of these have been returned to the senders,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MAY, 1893.

6. The Pillar Letter Boxes referred to in the 5th paragraph of the Postmaster General's Report on 1891 arrived, and were set up in the places suggested by him, except that one was placed at the East end of the town in Percival Street instead of near the Tramway Station. This change was made in view of the fact that letter boxes are attached to the Tramcars and the placing of a Pillar Box at the Station seemed unnecessary, and would have left the East end of the town unprovided for. The wooden Letter Box at the Police Station at Tsim Shatsui is still retained. Those formerly erected in the Peak District have been withdrawn. Collections from the Pillar Box (No. 1) at the Kowloon Wharves commenced on the 8th August, and up to the 20th the letters collected amounted to 448. The collections from Pillar Boxes (Nos. 2 to 6) at Magazine Gap and the Peak District commenced on the 12th August and up to the 20th, the letters collected amounted to 64. Unfortunately the collections from these Boxes have not been recorded separately, and they are therefore not included in the annexed Table A. which shows the number of letters collected from the Pillar Boxes in the town from August 15th, the date on which collections commenced, to the end of the year. The collections from the Pillar Boxes in the town from August 15th to 20th amounted to 201 letters.

7. Table B. shews the number of letters received from and sent to Kowloon and the Peak District during the year. Up to the end of the year by the courtesy of the High Level Tramway Co., our Postmen have been allowed to travel free.

8. Telegraphic communication between the Post Office and the Light-houses at the Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar has been established, and operations commenced on the 1st October. From this date to the end of the year 1936 messages were received at this Office. Of this number there were 262 signals of approaching vessels from Cape D'Aguilar and 53 from Gap Rock. In some instances two or three steamers have been signalled in the same message. The messages are transmitted through the Office of the Eastern Extension Australasian and China Telegraph Co. and the Observatory to Tsimshatsui where signals are hoisted. The substance of the message is also notified on a board facing Queen's Road. The remaining 1621 messages consisted of Meteorological Observations which are received four times a day from the Gap Rock and every hour from the Peak. Communication with the Gap Rock was interrupted on October 6th from 10.50 to 11.32 A.M., and again on November 26th 6 A.M. to December 14th 7.30 A.M. The Telegraph Clerk at this Office is on duty continuously from 6 A.M., to 6 P.M., for seven days of the week on a salary of $30 per month. The hours are altogether too long. The Clerk has to be on the watch not only for signals from the Lighthouses but also for the Meteorological reports for transmission to the Observatory. Twelve consecutive hours duty is too much to demand from any one, and I am of opinion that there should be two Clerks attached to the Post Office, one to be on duty in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon. As the summer approaches and daylight consequently lengthens both in the morning and evening, the signals of passing vessels can be seen at the lighthouses at a much earlier and much later hour than 6 a.m. and 6 P.M., and the convenience to the Post Office and Shipowners of having the earliest and latest possible information of approaching vessels is obvious. But it would be unfair to expect still longer hours of duty from the clerk attached to this Office than he has already. The Clerks at the Light- houses enjoy I believe the advantage of assistance from the Lighthouse keepers in the detection of approaching vessels. The Clerk at this Office has no one to assist him in receiving the messages that come in. The appointment of another Clerk at $30 per month for duty at the Post Office can hardly be regarded as extravagant. Of course he would have to take his turn at the Lighthouses with the others.

9. Table C shows the number of Parcels received and despatched during the year. The heaviest outward mail was the New Year's Mail which consisted of 530 parcels. The heaviest inward mail was also the New Year's Mail which consisted of 832 parcels. The Christmas Mails numbered 508 parcels outward and 602 inward. The total number of parcels received and despatched in 1891 and 1892 was as follows:-

Compared with 1891 there has been an increase under all heads except two, that of "Letters on Postal Business" which shows a decrease of 1.250 and that of "Registered Articles with Return Receipts" which shows a decrease of 1,460. Table E gives the figures for the past seven years.

   12. As was the case last year, much annoyance has been caused to the Department and the Public by the want of adhesiveness in the Postage Stamps. This is more particularly the case as regards the two-cent stamps, and is perhaps more felt in the dry season than at other times. The matter has been repeatedly brought to the notice of the Crown Agents. The same trouble is, I understand, experienced in other Colonies situated within the tropics.

   13. It would greatly facilitate the work of returning Dead Letters to the writers, if they would give their addresses, and sign their names in full, and if this were done on the covers, the letters would be returned unopened. As it is, the greater number have to be opened to discover the name and address of the writer, and it is frequently found that the letter is signed with initials only, or with a Christian name only, and this in cases where there are enclosures of value. The letters have conse- quently to be perused in the hope of obtaining some clue to the identity of the writers.

   14. In his report on 1891, reference was made by the Postmaster General to a Board appointed by His Excellency the Governor to enquire what means could be devised to stop the illicit Chinese Post Offices that abound in the Colony. The Board submitted its report in August last.

Chinese correspondence arriving in or sent from the Colony may be classed as follows :-

A. Correspondence originating in the Colony and destined for places in China other than

the Treaty Ports where the General Post Office has Agencies.

B. Correspondence originating outside the Colony, as at Saigon, Singapore, &c., and destined

as A.

C. Correspondence originating in the interior of China destined for Hongkong, or Treaty

Ports, or places outside Hongkong where there are regularly established Post Offices. D. Correspondence exchanged between places where regular Post Offices exist e.g. Hongkong

and Bangkok.

   It was considered that nothing could be done as regards Class A until the establishment of an Imperial Postal Administration in China to which such mail matter could be sent for delivery, the General Post Office of this Colony having no means of delivering such correspondence. As regards Classes B, C & D, there being no means of detecting such correspondence as does not pass through the Post Offices of the country of origin, it was considered nothing could be done beyond the issue of a Proclamation in Chinese explaining the requirements of the law. This was done, but it is doubtful if any good effect has resulted. In those places where persons landing have to pass through the Customs e.g. Japan, something can be done to detect correspondence that has been carried to them in

418

an irregular manner and when found such correspondence is handed over to the Postal Authorities, and double the deficient postage levied, in accordance with the rules of the Postal Union, on delivery to the addressees; or it is returned to the Post Office through which it should have passed in the first instance. Under the Convention of Vienna the deficient postage and fine on returned correspondence is recoverable from the sender, and when possible it is recovered, but it does not often happen that the sender can be discovered in such cases. In the event of such correspondence being found to have been sent through the Agency of one of these illicit Post Offices perhaps a prosecution might have some good effect. The law having been explained to them they cannot now plead ignorance of it.

15. The need of more suitable accommodation for carrying on the work of the Department is every year becoming more urgent. The simultaneous despatch of heavy mails such as the English and American, the French and the Canadian is becoming more frequent, and, at such times, not only is the work of closing the mails considerably hampered for want of sufficient room in which to deal with them, but the inconvenience to the public is very great owing to the impossibility from the same cause of providing extra facilities for the sale of Stamps. And when, as often happens in the summer, the inward French Mail arrives while the outward French Mail is being despatched, the want of room renders it impossible to deal with the arrival as expeditiously as we desire. And not only is the accommodation inadequate for the work that has to be got through, but the Office is so dark that much of the work has to be done by gas light, which is not only a source of much discomfort to the Staff, but is also very detrimental to health. Strangers passing through the Colony who are acquainted with the commodious Post Offices in other towns to which the City of Victoria does not hold second rank have often remarked upon the darkness and incommodiousness of this Office. It is to be hoped that measures will be soon taken to provide lighter and more roomy Offices in which the ever-growing work of the Department can be carried on, not only with less detriment to the health of the Staff, but also to the greater satisfaction of the community at large. The present building may have sufficed in the early days of the Colony when mails were less frequent than they are now, but no unprejudiced person will I think deny that it is not sufficient for the requirements of the present day.

16. Mainly from the necessity of having to perform so much of the work of the Office in an atmosphere overheated by gas and laden with dust stirred up by handling the large number of Mail Bags that are almost constantly being received and despatched, the health of the Staff has, as in former years, been very unsatisfactory and hardly a week has passed without the absence through sickness of one or another of the Staff at a time when he could ill be spared. This could be remedied by lighting the Office with the Electric Light, as was shown by the Postmaster General in his Report last year.

The increase of Expenditure is due to the low rate of Exchange, and the change in the system of accounting referred to below. During the year a sum of $1,171.66 on account of transit charges due to this Colony for the year 1891 was collected. This amount as well as a sum of $171.18 interest on Money Order transactions has been passed to the credit of 'Miscellaneous Receipts' instead of being credited to Postal Revenue as in former years. If these sums had been credited to Postal Revenue, the total amount of Revenue for last year would have been $159,041.87, and there would have been a nett increase to the Revenue of $469.78.*

18. Local deliveries to the Town, which had hitherto been made three times a day were last year made every two hours commencing at 8 A.M. and finishing at 6 P.M. For this purpose the Town is considered to be that portion of the City lying between Ship Street and Bonham Strand West, and between the Sea and Robinson Road. The portions beyond are regarded as Suburbs. Deliveries to the Suburbs are made three times a day and to the Peak and Kowloon twice a day. These deliveries cannot be regarded as effected at present in a perfectly satisfactory manner. The experience of the past year has satisfied me that the causes of this are:-

1stly. The want of sufficient room in which to carry on the work. This is especially felt on the days on which the French, English and American Mails are despatched when local correspondence is liable to get mixed with that intended for the outgoing mail. and is only found when the correspondence for that mail is sorted, which is probably not until after the delivery hour has passed. With a view to remedy this, Special Drop Boxes have been provided for posting Local Correspondence. But the remedy is not an effectual one as Local Letters are still posted in the same Drop Box as letters for the outgoing mails.

2ndly. These deliveries have been attempted without the appointment of the full Staff which the late Mr. LISTER, after careful consideration, deemed necessary for the efficient carrying out of this work, and for which provision has already been made in the Estimates.

3rdly. The difficulty that is experienced in making the Postmen understand where private residences, such as Marlingford, La Hacienda, and Glenifer, are situated, and the further difficulty in cases where the Private Residence is known to them, of inducing them to depart from the old custom of delivering letters at the nearest place of business. Dismissal of the Postman for delivering at business places letters which are addressed to Private Residences has no good effect, for the new Postman has to be taught his District, and while he is learning it the deliveries are more unsatisfactory than they were with the man who has been dismissed.

   Another cause which contributes to the unsatisfactory nature of these deliveries is to be found in the fact that a Town which extends for at least three miles in length and has two large and important suburbs like Kowloon and the Peak has to be served from a single Post Office, where the Staff is fully occupied during the entire working day from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. with the despatch and receipt of Mails to and from places situated all over the world.

To remedy the defects in the Local deliveries, I would strongly recommend the establishment of Branch Post Offices at the Peak and Kowloon, and in the Eastern and Western Suburbs. The powers necessary for this are contained in Ordinance 1 of 1887, § 2.

The advantages of having such Offices are many and are sufficiently obvious to render an enumeration of them almost superfluous. But, by way of illustration, take the case of the Peak District. At present, deliveries are effected by means of two Postmen who leave the Post Office at 11.30 A.M. and 3.30 P.M. daily, one of these after delivering letters to a portion of the Peak District has to go on to Magazine Gap, and besides delivering letters they have to clear the Pillar Boxes. It is found that it takes the Postman whose deliveries are confined entirely to the Peak, as a rule, from two to two and a half hours to effect his deliveries and return to the Post Office, while the other Postman takes, as a rule, from two and a half to three hours, and if they have many letters to deliver it takes longer. The consequence is that letters posted in the Pillar Boxes before noon never reach the Post Office in time for the Noon Delivery, and very often not until after the Postmen have started for the 2 P.M. Delivery. It is the same thing in the afternoon. If there were a Post Office at the Peak, letters posted there, or in the Pillar Boxes, could be got ready to hand to the Postman on his arrival at Noon and 4 P.M., and he could at once return to the General Post Office, leaving the mails he has brought up to be distributed by the Peak Post Office. The letters from the Peak would be received at the General Post Office, sorted according to the several delivery districts, and could be sent out at once, and the delay necessitated by sorting them when they reach the General Post Office would be avoided. On mail days also it would be possible to make provision for letters being posted up to say a hour before the mail is closed in the General Post Office, and it would also be possible to provide the convenience of additional deliveries at the Peak. The same argument applies to Kowloon, and the Eastern and Western suburbs of the Town. Take the case of these latter. A person living in the Western suburbs posts a letter for the Eastern suburbs in one of the Pillar Boxes at 8 A.M.; it is cleared by the Postman in the course of his rounds with the 9 A.M. deliveries, and perhaps, does not reach the General Post Office till 11.30 A.M.; it is sent out again at Noon. The reply is posted in a Pillar Box shortly after, but cannot reach the General Post Office until the return of the Postman from his 5 P.M. deliveries by which time the Post Office is closed and the letter does not get delivered till next morning. With Post Offices in these suburbs a letter posted in the West before 8.45 A.M. would reach the General Post Office in time to be sent to the Eastern Post Office at nine, and the reply would be in time to be

420

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH MAY, 1893.

despatched to the Western Post Office at Noon. And, indeed, it would under these circumstances be possible to arrange for two-hourly, if not hourly, deliveries all over the Town; while on mail days the convenience to residents in the suburbs would be very great.

The deliveries would also be expedited if there was a letter box attached to the door of each house into which the Postmen could drop the letters, and pass on without the loss of time involved in finding some one to take delivery.

Whether any improvement would result from the substitution of Indians or the poorer class of Portuguese for Chinese as letter-carriers could only be ascertained after trial. At any rate the difficulties of contending with old custom would disappear, and there would be greater certainty that letters addressed to Private Residences would be delivered as addressed, and not taken to the addressees' Offices.

19. The Postal Work at the Agencies at the Coast Ports has been carried on in a most satisfactory manner. During the year there were several changes in the personnel of the Agencies. Mr. E. T. C. WERNER, who for a long time had rendered most efficient service at Canton, resigned on October 21st, on transfer to Tientsin, Mr. G. D. PITZIPIOS being appointed to succeed him; he, however, left for England on November 28th, and the duties of the Agency were undertaken by Mr. F. S. A. Bourne during the remainder of the year. On November 1st, Mr. H. A. GILES handed over the Ningpo Agency to Mr. P. F. HAUSSER, at whose request Mr. C. KILGOUR was on the 18th appointed Postal Agent. On December 13th, Mr. R. W. HURST resigned the Agency at Foochow, and Mr. E. C. WILTON was appointed in his stead.

20. Table G gives the particulars of Money Order transactions during the year. The question of a direct exchange with the United States is under consideration. It is hoped that arrangements for the issue of Postal Notes for Local use will be completed before long.

21. My thanks are due to the Officers in charge of the l'ostal Agencies and to the Staff of this Department for the ready assistance rendered to me in my endeavours to meet the convenience of the Public and at the same time keep down expenses.

I have the honour to be,

The Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary.

And whereas by the said Regulations contained in the Schedule to the said Order in Council of the 11th day of August, 1884, it is amongst other things provided as follows:-

Art. 3. A sea-going steam ship when under way shall carry-

(a) On or in front of the foremast, at a height above the hull of not less than 20 feet, and if the breadth of the ship exceeds 20 feet, then at a height above the hull not less than such breadth, a bright white light, so constructed as to show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 20 points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light 10 points on each side of the ship, viz., from right ahead to two points abaft the beam on either side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least five miles.

(b) On the starboard side, a green light, so constructed as to show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to two points abaft the beam on the starboard side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least two miles.

(c) On the port side, a red light, so constructed as to show an uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 10 points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to two points abaft the beam on the port side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least two miles.

(d) The said green and red side lights shall be fitted with inboard screens projecting at least three feet forward from the light, so as to prevent these lights from being seen across the bow.

Art. 15.-If two ships under steam are meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter her course to starboard, so that each may pass on the port side of the other.

This article only applies to cases where ships are meeting end on, or nearly end on, in such a manner as to involve risk of collision, and does not apply to two ships which must, if both keep on their respective courses, pass clear of each other.

The only cases to which it does apply are, when each of the two ships is end on, or nearly end on, to the other; in other words, to cases in which by day, each ship sees the masts of the other in a line, or nearly in a line, with her own; and by night to cases in which each ship is in such a position as to see both the side lights of the other. It does not apply by day, to cases in which a ship sees another ahead crossing her own course; or by night, to cases where the red light of one ship is opposed to the red light of the other, or where the green light of one ship is opposed to the green light of the other; or where a red light without a green light, or a green light without a red light, is seen ahead, or where both green and red lights are seen anywhere but ahead. And whereas there has been doubt or misapprehension concerning the effect of the said two articles and whereas the Admiralty and the Board of Trade have jointly recommended to Her Majesty to make the following additions to the said Regulations for the purpose of explaining the said recited Articles, and of removing the said doubt or misapprehension.

NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, by virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said Act, and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to direct that from the date of this Order the Regulations contained in the Schedule to the said Order in Council of the 11th day of August, 1884, shall be further modified by the addition to the said recited Article 3 of the provisions contained in the Schedule hereto.

HERBERT M. SUFT.

SCHEDULE.

(e) To ensure that the red and green side lights shall show an uniform light from right ahead of the ship to two points abaft the beam on the port and starboard sides respectively, and shall not show across the bow of the ship itself, the said lights must be fixed and the screens fitted so that the rays from the red and green lights shall cross the line of the ship's keel projected ahead of the ship at a reasonable distance ahead of the ship.

With regard to all vessels whose lights are inspected by the officers of the Board of Trade the red or green side light will not be deemed to be fixed and fitted in accordance with the Regulations unless it is so fixed and screened that a line drawn from the outside edge of the wick to the foremost end of the inboard screen of such light shall make an angle of 4 degrees, or as near thereto as may be practicable, with a line drawn parallel with the keel of the ship from the outside edge of the wick.

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 following Report of the Registrar General for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 2nd instaut, is published.

By Command,

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

the

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 3rd June, 1893.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 23rd May, 1893.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith my report on the work of this departiment during year 1892.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.

The cost of the establishment of the Registrar General in 1892 was $22,278 as compared with $22,765.79 in 1891.

These figures do not include the half pay of the Assistant Registrar General, which is being drawn at home, as that Officer is at present on leave.

The revenue collected by this department amounted to $77,388.17. In Table I will be found a comparative statement of the revenue for the years 1891 and 1892 together with a detailed statement of the revenue derived from boats and markets. The revenue for 1892 shows an increase of $1,211.06 over that of 1891. The chief increase is in the revenue derived from boats which amounted to $15,066.25, or $3,262.75 more than the previous year. This increase is due to the provisions of Ordinance 26 of 1891, under which lighters, fish-drying hulks, etc. have now to pay annual licence fees, from which they were formerly exempted. The chief decrease-$2,268.50-appears under the head "Hawkers' Fees." Hawkers' licences are annual and the licence fees were collected annually up till the end of September, 1892, when a change was made and the fees commenced to be collected quarterly, so that the year 1892 is credited with the fees for one quarter instead of for a whole year. The number of hawkers' licences issued in 1891 was 2,171 and in 1892, 3,029, or an increase in the latter year of 858.

   The total number of licences of various kinds issued during the year 1892 was 8,004 as compared with 6,770 in 1891.

WOMEN AND GIRLS' PROTECTION ORDINANCE (11 or 1890).

   This Ordinance has continued to work satisfactorily. Under it there have been 80 prosecutions involving 91 persons (see Table II). In these cases 12 of the defendants were discharged, 2 were called upon to find security, and 66 were found guilty, and either fined in sums varying from $1 to $100 or sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from six months to one year.

   Under Part II of the Ordinance 260 women and girls were detained. Of this number two died and nine were still under the care of the Po Leung Kuk or Society for the Protection of Women and Girls at the end of the year. The remaining 249 were dealt with as follows:--

Of the girls secured by bonds, the validity of which is protected by section 19 of Ordinance 11 of 1890, during the past year, one was sent to school, one was relieved from presenting herself at this Office quarterly, fifteen were married, one died, and two absconded. The number of these girls is now reduced to 103.

440

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3rd JUNE, 1893.

 As regards Part III of the Ordinance and the Regulations made under Part IV section 33, dealing with the subject of the registration of brothels, returns are given in Table III A & B showing the number of prostitutes and servants who entered and left registered brothels during each month of the year, and the number of registered brothels and inmates at the end of each month during the year. The total number of prostitutes who entered brothels for Chinese was 1,144 and of those who entered brothels for others than Chinese 180.

 There were 49 prosecutions against unregistered houses during the year in 41 of which convict- ions were obtained (see Table II).

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

 In Table IV will be found a return showing the number of women and girls and boys passed by the Emigration Officer, assisted by an Officer from this Department, during 1892. The total number was 6,550, showing an increase over 1891 of 323 persons.

HOME FOR GIRLS

 The women and girls rescued under the Ordinance have continued to find a home in a portion of the Tung Wa Hospital. As I pointed out in my report last year, the accommodation there is both insufficient and unsuitable. The question of the erection of a Home better adapted to meet the require- ments of the Ordinance and to afford greater comfort to its inmates has been referred to a Special Committee appointed by His Excellency the Governor, the members of which are also considering a draft bill for the incorporation of the Po Leung Kuk or Society for the Protection of Women and Girls, by which it is proposed to place the Society on a more satisfactory footing and thereby to increase its efficiency.

 During the past year I have received great assistance from the present Committee and other members of the Po Leung Kuk in carrying out the provisions of the Women and Girls Protection Ordinance. Without such assistance I doubt whether it would be possible for the Ordinance to work effectively, and I am certain that, in the absence of the co-operation and advice of the leading members of the Chinese community, it would be impossible to secure properly the welfare of the large number of women and girls who are rescued.

VITAL STATISTICS.

The estimated population on the 31st December was as follows:-

British and Foreign (including Army and Navy).

10,590.

Chinese.

221,072.

Whole.

231,662.

This estimate is based on the average increase in the population between 1857 and 1891, which was 3.152 per cent.

MARRIAGES.

The total number of marriages in 1892 was 75 as compared with 87 in 1891.

BIRTHS.

 In Table V, Return A, will be found a return of the births registered during 1892. Among the British and Foreign Community, the total number of registered births was 183-males 99, females 84 -which shows a decrease of 22 compared with the births in 1891. Among the Chinese Community there was an increase in the number of registered births, the total being 1,660 in 1892-males 943, females 717-and 1,529 in 1891.

DEATHS (ORDINANCE 7 OF 1872).

Table V, Return A, contains the number of deaths during the year 1892.

 The deaths among the British and Foreign Community numbered 184 or 7 less than in the previous year: among the Chinese, 4,722, as compared with 5,183 in 1891.

 The annual death-rate per 1000 was lower last year than in 1891. Among the British and Foreign Community it was 17.37 in 1892 and 18.20 in 1891: among the Chinese 21.36 in 1892 and 24.18 in 1891.

BURIALS.

 Of the 3,830 deaths which occurred among the Chinese in Victoria, 3,586 bodies were buried in the Colony, leaving 244 to be accounted for which were sent out of the Colony. The number of dead bodies brought from other places and buried in the Colony amounted to 61.

EXHUMATIONS.

 248 permits were granted to exhume dead remains and remove them to China. In each case a reference was made to the Superintendent of the Sanitary Board before the issue of a permit.

INFANTILE MORTALITY.

 A reference to Table V, Return C, will show that the total infantile mortality last year was larger than in 1891. During 1892 the number of deaths under one year was 1,539 or 31.37 per cent. of the total mortality for the year. For the British and Foreign Community there was a decrease of deaths under one year, the number being 22 as compared with 29 in 1891, but among the Chinese community there was an increase of 13, the figures being 1,504 in 1891 and 1,517 in 1892.

In Table V, Return B, will be found the causes of death. Of the total number of deaths, 482 or 9.82 per cent. have been certified to by medical certificate or by the Magistrate performing the duties of Coroner.

    In Table IX will be found a report which I forwarded to the Government last year containing my views as to how more reliable returns of the real causes of death might be secured and what steps might be taken to provide the poorer classes of the Colony with the benefits of Western medical assistance and medicine should they desire to avail themselves of them.

VACCINATION ORDINANCE, 5 OF 1890.

A reference to Table VI will show that, during the year, 1,060 notices calling upon persons to have their children vaccinated were served and that 1,176 certificates of successful vaccination were received.

There was only one prosecution for failure to produce the certificate required under this Ordinance, in which a conviction was obtained.

ORDINANCE FOR THE REGISTRATION OF BOOKS PRINTED AND PUBLISHED IN HONGKONG (10 OF 1888.).

    During 1892, 29 books were published as compared with 29 in 1891. been published in the Government Gazette.

REGISTRATION OF HOUSEHOLDERS.

Lists of these have already

    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, the immediate landlord of the whole of a building or tenement (persons other than Chinese not being

442

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

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 par-

ticulars:

(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.

Should any change occur in the tenancy of any portion of the house after it has been registered, a report has to be made within one week of such change.

Table VIII contains a return showing the number in each district of

(a) the first registration of householders.

(b) the re-registration of householders.

(c) the extracts from householders' registers. (d) the removals of householders.

(e) duplicate householders' certificates issued.

(f) changes in tenancy reported.

The same Table, return B, shows the number of Chinese shops, together with the nature of their business, opened and closed during 1892. The number of shops opened was 1,148, and closed 983, leaving a balance of 165 in favour of shops opened over those closed. The number of shops opened and closed in 1891 was 932 and 876 respectively.

MARKETS.

Table I, Return C, shows the number of occupied and vacant shops and stalls at the end of the year together with the annual revenue derived from each market. The total revenue derived from markets during 1892 was $54,088.57 as compared with $53,514.96 in 1891, showing an increase of $573.61.

During the year 121 shops and stalls were put up to tender, 82 of which were let. For 39 no tender was received. The total number of shops and stalls occupied was 634, unoccupied 145. Con- siderable progress has been made with the new building for the Central Market, which it is hoped will be ready for occupation in a year.

NIGHT PASSES.

During the year 65 applications for quarterly passes and 28 applications for special and annual passes were recommended. The total number of quarterly passes issued by the Police during 1892 was 15,917 as compared with 18,836 in 1891, and of annual and special passes issued by the Colonial Secretary 368 as compared with 381 in 1891.

PERMITS (ORDINANCE 13 OF 1888, Chap. V.

DISTRICT WATCHMEN (ORDINANCE 13 OF 1888, CHAP. IV.)

The Committee appointed to co-operate with this Department in the administration of the District Watchmen's Fund has, as was anticipated, not only proved of great assistance in increasing the efficiency of the District Watchmen's Force, over which it has been found possible, through the aid of the Committee, to exercise a closer supervision, but has also by its advice on several important questions connected with the affairs of the Chinese community been a great help to this Department. The personnel of the Committee is the same as in 1891 with the exception of one member, Mr. SHAM CH'EUK-T'ONG, who died during the year. The high respect in which he was held was attested by

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

443

the unusually large number of the members of the Chinese community who attended his funeral. Mr. LEUNG P'UI-CHI was appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy in the Committee caused by the death of Mr. SHAM CH'EUK-T'ONG.

The Committee held nine ordinary meetings and one extraordinary meeting during the year. New Rules were drawn up under Ordinance 13 of 1888, Chap. IV, Section 19, with the advice of the Committee, for the regulation and guidance of the District Watchmen, and approved by the Governor in Council. Copies of these rules have been distributed among the contributors to the District Watchmen's Fund, by whom more interest seems to be evinced in and more assistance asked from the Force than formerly. The Committee has also had under consideration the improvement of the Force by an increase of the present rate of pay with a view to obtain a better class of recruits and by introducing a scale of rewards for especially good service in order to stimulate the efforts of the members of the Force to help to maintain the peace and good order of the Colony.

The Annual accounts of the Fund have already been published (see Government Gazette, Notific- ation No. 87.). The number of cases brought before the Magistrates by District Watchmen was 286, in all of which convictions were obtained. Most of these were cases of petty larceny and of unlawful possession. The Force consists of six Head Watchmen and forty-two Ordinary Watchmen, an addition of three men having been made during the year. Four watchmen have been dismissed and three have resigned. The vacancies so caused have been filled up.

LEGISLATION AFFECTING THE CHINESE.

Of the 15 Ordinances passed by the Legislative Council during the year 1892, there is only one which more particularly affects the Chinese, viz., Ordinance 3. Under it a fee of $1 is charged for the issue of a duplicate annual pass, and of 50 cents for the issue of a duplicate quarterly pass.

A Bill for the Incorporation of the Po Leung Kuk or Society for the Protection of Women and Girls was read a first time and has been referred to a special Committee consisting of the Honourable C. P. CHATER, Honourable Ho KAI, Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD, the Acting Colonial Treasurer (Mr. F. H. MAY,) and the Registrar General for report.

TRANSLATION WORK.

The amount of translation work has been about the same as usual. It consists of translations of Chinese petitions presented to the Registrar General and transmitted to the Colonial Secretary and other departments, the translation and revision of documents received from other departments, trans- lations of notices for the Gazette, the issue of notices in Chinesc, and the translation of some Ordinances. In Table X will be found a return showing the number and subject of the Chinese petitions presented during 1892.

THE CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.

The buildings, etc., on the ground have been put in thorough repair by the Public Works Depart- ment at a cost of $416.89, the greater part of which amount was expended on making arrangements for providing water and on paving with granite the space inside the cooking stalls.

In December, 56 of the 81 small shops round the ground were let and 16 out of the 24 cooking stalls. The 20 tables set aside for letter writers were all let as was also the story teller's pavilion. For some time during the year the pavilion was rented by well-to-do Chinese who paid a lecturer to deliver lectures there.

Two Indian Watchmen and one Chinese are employed to keep order on the ground.

The revenue derived from the stalls, etc., during the year was $2.457.88, and the expenditure $1,161.13 of which the sum of $744.24 was ordinary recurrent expenditure. The balance in hand at the end of the year was $1,296.78 which goes towards paying off the loan of $6,000 advanced by the Government to cover the cost of levelling and planting the ground and erecting stalls.

STAFF.

  Mr. MADAR was appointed Second Clerk in place of Mr. E. S. SUTTON, who was acting in that post. Mr. MoK LAI-CHI, Chinese Clerk and Interpreter, Mr. CH'AN U-TS'UN, Chinese Writer, and Mr. IP PING-KWAN, Chinese Clerk and Shroff, were dismissed. Mr. SUNG SING was promoted to the post of 1st Chinese Clerk and Interpreter. Mr. Lo MAN-YUK, was appointed to the post of 2nd Chinese Clerk and Interpreter, rendered vacant by Mr. SUNG'S promotion. Mr. Ho WING-HO was appointed Chinese Clerk and Shroff, and Mr. YAU K'I-TUNG, Chinese Writer.

Table IX.

463

Report on the subject of securing more reliable returns of the real causes of death, and furnishing medical aid to the poorer classes of the Colony.

I have read and carefully considered the scheme of the Colonial Surgeon on which I have been asked to report.

So far as I understand the scheme it has two chief objects in view :--

1. To secure more reliable returns of the real causes of death.

2.-To furnish medical assistance and medicine to the poorer classes of the Colony.

As regards the first of these two objects, there can be no doubt that it would be highly advant- ageous to have the real causes of death certified by properly trained medical officers or practitioners. But in considering this matter, it must be remembered that the Chinese as a whole are not in favour of Western medical methods and that they would offer strong opposition to any system of improved registration of the cause of death which would necessitate anything in the nature of an invasion of the privacy of Chinese domestic life, on which they lay so much stress. If properly certified certificates of death are to be made compulsory, I do not see how interference with Chinese domestic life can be avoided. Such interference would, in my opinion, only tend to intensify the prejudice existing among the Chinese against Western methods and, so far from succeeding in accomplishing its object, would almost of a certainty defeat its own ends. The Chinese might be encouraged to procure properly certified certificates of the cause of death, but anything in the form of compulsion ought to be avoided, especially at the commencement of the attempt to introduce among them the benefits of Western medical science. At present many of the deaths occurring among the Chinese are accompanied by certificates. The attached Table (see Enclosure I,) shows the number of deaths in Victoria in 1891, and how many were accompanied by a certificate. If the deaths in the convents are included, and I think it is not unreasonable that they should be seeing that European doctors attend those institutions, this Table shows that 66% of the deaths in Victoria are accompanied by certificates. It is true that the majority of these certificates which were given by Native doctors in the Tung Wa Hospital are in many instances too general, but the Colonial Surgeon, who has the right by Ordinance to enter that Hospital at all times, might be able to suggest to the Native doctors how the certificates issued by them might be improved and made of more value for statistical purposes than they are at present.

As regards the second object which the scheme has in view, the furnishing of medical assistance and medicines to the poorer classes of Chinese residents of the Colony, I think every one will agree that that is an object which should receive every encouragement. Indeed, I think that

this Government is bound to help the Chinese in this direction, for the present medical service costs this Colony in round figures about $40,000 a year, and the Chinese who as rate-payers contribute the larger portion of that sum, derive comparatively but small benefit from that service. The expenditure involved in the scheme of the Colonial Surgeon would, I venture to think, be justified on equitable grounds alone; but however justifiable such expenditure might be, I am inclined to think that a less expensive plan than the scheme of the Colonial Surgeon should be adopted in the first instance as a tentative measure, for, as the Chinese are as a rule opposed to Western medical science, it cannot be We foreseen with certainty how free Western medical attendance and drugs will be received by them. have institutions like the Alice Memorial Hospital to guide us to a certain extent, and, judging from the attached statistics (see Enclosure II,) with which Dr. THOMSON, the Superintendent of that Hospital, has kindly furnished me, it would appear that the Chinese are gradually overcoming their disinclina- tion to seek the help of Western doctors at the Alice Memorial Hospital. Instead of adopting the complete scheme drawn up by the Colonial Surgeon, I would suggest that, as a preliminary measure, two dispensaries be established, one in Victoria and one in Kowloon where, though the population amounts to over 25,000 persons, including the boat population, there is not a single qualified medical practitioner; that the two licentiates of the Chinese College of Medicine be placed in charge: that the two dispensaries be either affiliated with the Alice Memorial Hospital and subsidised by Government, the management of that Hospital being responsible for the supervision of the work carried on, or that they be entirely under Government control, the whole expense being borne by Government: that drugs and medicines be distributed free of charge and that medical advice be given gratis at the dispensaries to applicants whose inability to pay is undoubted: that, in addition to giving medical advice, dispensing medicines, and treating patients at the dispensary, the licentiates should attend without fee all cases where their services may be required: that no fee should be charged or accepted without the permis- sion of Government and then only in cases where no doubt exists as to the ability of the patient to pay, and that the Licentiates should give certificates of death free of charge in all cases in which they can certify to the cause of death.

464

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

If after a year's trial it is found that the services of the Licentiates are appreciated and that they have more work to do than they can overtake, the advisability of extending the scheme and increasing the staff on the lines recommended by the Colonial Surgeon might be then considered.

SIR,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 340 of the 13th of December enclosing the Report of a Committee which you had appointed with a view to working out a scheme of Prison extension on the principles laid down in my predecessor's despatch of the 7th July, together with a protest from the Unofficial Members of Council against the measures proposed.

I have also received and considered your despatch No. 16 of the 20th of January, enclosing a representation from leading members of the Chinese Community, in which, as I understand, they argue that no extension of the Gaol should be undertaken. As these gentlemen take a different, and somewhat stronger line than the Unofficial Members of Council, it may be convenient that I should deal with their representation first.

DOWNING STREET,

24th March, 1893.

SIR,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 340 of the 13th of December enclosing the Report of a Committee which you had appointed with a view to working out a scheme of Prison extension on the principles laid down in my predecessor's despatch of the 7th July, together with a protest from the Unofficial Members of Council against the measures proposed.

I have also received and considered your despatch No. 16 of the 20th of January, enclosing a representation from leading members of the Chinese Community, in which, as I understand, they argue that no extension of the Gaol should be undertaken. As these gentlemen take a different, and somewhat stronger line than the Unofficial Members of Council, it may be convenient that I should deal with their representation first.

466

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

I have perused their remarks with interest, but am unable to accept their views, and would most emphatically point out, that in urging the extension of the Gaol, Her Majesty's Government have not been influenced by any desire to lessen the punitive character of imprisonment. They have pressed for prison extension, mainly because, while objecting to the evils inherent to the association system, they believe that the cellular system is the only practicable basis of a deterrent prison discipline.

As regards the protest of the Unofficial Members of Council, and the Report of the Committee on which it is based, I would observe, that my predecessor's despatch appears to have been somewhat misunderstood, and to have been thought to involve larger extension than his Lordship had in mind. If his despatch is referred to, it seems plain that he would have been content with a prison accommo- dating 546 persons, of whom not all would have been in separate confinement. But the Committee have put forward a scheme providing for 612, and it is rather against this scheme than against my predecessor's despatch, that the protest must be taken to be directed. If I rightly understand the 12th paragraph of the protest, the Unofficial Members themselves are willing to concur in a very appreciable extension of the Prison accommodation, and this being so, it appears to me that they, my predecessor, were more nearly in accord than they assumed. Further, the gratifying decrease in the average prison population during the last two years, seems to justify me in making some reduction in the minimum of 546 laid down by my predecessor. I am anxious as far as possible, consistently with the public interest, to meet the views of the Memorialists on this question of prison accommoda- tion; and the following scheme appears to me to be adequate for the necessities of the case, and will, I hope, be generally accepted as a compromise, and be received in the friendly spirit in which it is offered :-

and

(1) The 92 existing separate cells should continue to be primarily available for European prisoners, of whom there is an average of over 40, the rest being used for Chinese criminals.

(2) 51 of the existing three-prisoner cells should be divided off into 102 separate cells. (3) A new site should be acquired adjoining the Gaol, on which should be built a three-

storey block containing about 150 separate cells.

(4) Separate accommodation being thus provided for 344 prisoners of the more criminal types, 60 three-prisoner cells, or small wards, would remain for the accommodation of 180 miscellaneous prisoners of the less criminal types. I note that according to the figures for 1891 the prison population was divided into,

Criminal,

.333

Non-criminal or petty criminal, ...........176

Total average,

..509

The scheme which I propose leaves therefore some small margin in the case of each class. Further, I consider that it would be advantageous in the case of the remaining associated cells, that where possible, two or three of them might be thrown into one, thus facilitating supervision by night, and possibly increasing their practical capacity for accommodation of prisoners at times of exceptional pressure.

Subject to the requirements which I have indicated, I leave all questions as to the re-arrangement and improvement of buildings and other structures on the existing site, to the discretion of your Government. I cannot of course but regret that the Unofficial Members of Council have felt unable to assent to the policy of my predecessor, but, as there seems reason to hope that the proposals which I now make will meet with general assent from the Members of Council, I refrain from entering on controversial matter.

 I agree with the opinion expressed in the 5th paragraph of your despatch No. 340, that the suggested free emigration of ex-convicts to newly explored or thinly peopled countries is quite impracti- cable, and I await with interest your further report on the question of transferring the juvenile inmates of the Gaol to the Roman Catholic Reformatory, as recommended by the Unofficial Members of Council.

You may communicate this despatch to those gentlemen, either, by laying it before Council or otherwise as you may see fit.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient.

humble Servant.

The following Correspondence with the Secretary of State on the subject of Retrenchment and the Memorial of the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council dated 12th January, 1893, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 2nd instant, is published.

Governor to Secretary of State.

(Confidential.)

No. 112.

3rd June, 1893.

MY LORD,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 8th June, 1892.

Before I received Your Lordship's despatch No. 112 of 3rd ultimo, the question of the expenditure on the clerical establishment in this Colony was already engaging my attention, and on 28th ultimo, I requested by my despatch No. 189 that a decision on the classification scheme forwarded with despatch No. 88 of 15th March last might be deferred until I should have had an opportunity of re-consider- ing the suggestion made by Mr. MITCHELL-INNES and of addressing Your Lordship further on the subject.

2. As Your Lordship is aware, it will shortly have to be decided in what directions reductions may be effected in the expenditure without creating hardship or impairing the efficiency of the public service. I have come to the conclusion that the civil service is over-officered, that the cost of the Police might probably be with safety reduced, and that the clerical service is probably over-manned and certainly overpaid. Reductions in the strength of the civil service will have to await vacancies, and I am not as yet prepared to submit definite proposals for reducing the Police force; but the present is a convenient opportunity for placing the clerical branch of the service on a proper footing.

3. The enclosed minute, which the Colonial Secretary has drawn up at my request, exhibits the average of the clerical salaries in Hongkong, Singapore, Mauritius, and Ceylon; and his further minute of 6th instant, (copy enclosed), prepared by him by my desire after I had communicated to him Your Lordship's despatch No. 112 of 3rd ultimo, contains a proposed scheme of classification which shews a saving of some $31,000 per annum on the existing expenditure. Your Lordship will, I am sure, recognize the thoroughness displayed by Mr. O Brien in the compilation of these two minutes.

4. I have carefully considered the scheme submitted by him, and I concur in thinking that it makes a very liberal provision for the clerical establishment. It divides the establishment into six classes and assigns salaries ranging from $360 rising to $480 in the lowest class, to $1,800 rising to $2,400 in the highest. Taking into account the number of clerks which it is proposed to place in each class, and assuming the average salary in each class to be half the total of the maximum and minimum salaries of the class, it gives an annual average salary for all the clerks of about $823. This average exceeds that in the Singapore and Mauritius establishments by $88 and $79 a year respectively, and is a great deal more than double the average of the Ceylon establishment. The salaries provided by the scheme are also far more liberal than those given by the best private firms in Hongkong, even apart from the consideration that Government grants pensions while those firms do not.

Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State

for the Colonies,

&c.,

&c.

468

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

5. Personally I am of opinion that an average salary of $750 would be suffi- cient, but I find it difficult to arrive at this result without disregarding what I understand to be considered as desirable by Your Lordship, viz., that periodical increments should be provided for every class, and that the lowest salary in each class should exceed the maximum salary of the class immediately below it.

6. I submit this scheme for Your Lordship's approval, though I should prefer one shewing an average salary of $750 a year instead of $823. I concur in the opinion expressed by Your Lordship that it is undesirable to create an inter- mediate class between the civil service proper and the Portuguese staff of clerks by importing Englishmen to fill certain of the clerkships; and I think that Your Lordship will agree that for native Portuguese and Chinese the salaries proposed are, if not excessive, at all events abundantly liberal. For such clerks Hongkong is not a specially expensive place; climatic influences do not affect them in the same way as they affect Englishmen ; they are free from the expense which has to be incurred by Englishmen in remitting money to their families in England and paying for passages when they have to go on leave; and in many ways they are able to live much more cheaply, as well as more comfortably, than Englishmen occupying corresponding positions in the Colony.

  7. The scheme, if sanctioned, would of course not affect vested interests: it would not be retrospective, but would be introduced gradually on the occurrence of vacancies. The question of reducing the number of clerks employed must also be a work of time it requires further consideration, and is in any case dependent on the opportunity of vacancies.

8. The scheme does not include Interpreters, Translators, and Chinese Writers. They stand on a different footing and must be dealt with separately on their merits; but I may here note that I am of opinion that some of the Interpreters are paid too much, and some, if not all, of the Chinese writers too little.

9. Pending a reply to this despatch I defer taking action on Your Lordship's despatch No. 113 of 3rd ultimo, relating to the salaries to be assigned to the 3rd and 4th clerks in the Treasury.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

Minute by the Colonial Secretary to the Governor.

CLERICAL ESTABLISHMENT.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

In despatch No. 72 of 1891 the Secretary of State suggested the framing of a scheme for the classification of clerical salaries on a uniform system and provision of periodical increments in the case of certain posts so as to obviate the necessity for giving personal allowances.

92

With 488 the Treasurer submitted a scheme, providing periodical increments in all cases. It was sent to the Secretary of State with despatch No. 88 of 15th

March last.

You subsequently requested the Secretary of State to defer decision on it until he had heard from you further.

The Treasurer's scheme provides for 63 clerks, and shews a slight estimated increase of expenditure over the total of the existing salaries of the clerks in ques- tion. There are in all, excluding Interpreters, Chinese writers, &c., &c., who may

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

469

be left out of account, 85 clerks to be considered. This discrepancy appears to be an objection to the Treasurer's scheme, and another objection is the aggregate cost of the proposed establishment, and the excessive rates, in some cases, that are assigned.

On looking at our Estimates I have been astonished at the scale of clerical salaries ruling here. I have had the corresponding figures taken out for Singapore, Mauritius, and Ceylon. I shall refer to those for Singapore and Mauritius at the end of this minute; meanwhile I will deal with the comparison with Ceylon with which I am more familiar.

In Ceylon the clerical service is divided into three classes-the first drawing over Rs 600 a year, the second, Rs 600 or $266, (I take the official equivalent of Rs 24 to the dollar throughout), and the third, under Rs 600. The average salary drawn in Ceylon by the 300 clerks in the departments coming first in the Blue Book is Rs 840, or $373.

Here the average drawn by our 85 clerks is $1,189. The highest salary drawn by a clerk in Ceylon is Rs 3,000 or $1,333. Here it is $4,536. In Ceylon there are only 4 clerks drawing $1,333, here we have one drawing over $4,500, 2 more drawing over $3,300, 9 more drawing from $2,200 to $3,000 and a number drawing close on $2,000.

Meanwhile official salaries other than clerical are higher in Ceylon than here, e. g., the Colonial Secretary draws Rs 24,000 or $10,666, and is given a house rent free.

The Attorney General draws Rs which is worth about as much again. allowances. The Treasurer do., do. or $5,333. &c., &c.

18,000 or $7,999, besides private practice The Auditor General draws the same and The Assistant Colonial Secretary Rs 12,000

In view of these and other considerations the scale of clerical salaries here appears to me to be absolutely preposterous.

We have here a clerk, to take the most signal example, who is drawing more than our Auditor, a great deal more than his official superior, the Assistant Colonial Secretary, nearly as much as the Treasurer, who is a member of the Executive Council, and more than the second class of the Ceylon Civil Service. Ceylon civil servants have to pass a very stiff competitive examination, it takes them on an average 20 years' service to reach the second class, and the salary of that class is Rs 9,600 or $4,266. Here we have a clerk drawing $4,536 !

In Singapore the average clerical salary is. In Mauritius...

and he has, as I say, omitted some 22 clerks altogether.

Minute by the Colonial Secretary to the Governor.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

Since I wrote my minute of 3rd instant, I have seen the Secretary of State's despatch No. 112 of 3rd ultimo, and I now submit, in accordance with your direct- ions, the following minute upon it and in continuation of my previous minute.

As I do not wish to send it in to the Office, I am unable to have my figures checked. I hope they are correct.

In the following tables* I have entered in 6 classes all the clerks appearing in the Estimates for 1892, placing in each of the first five classes the clerks drawing as much as, or more than, the average salary proposed by the Secretary of State

* Not printed.

470

for the class, but less than that proposed by him for the next higher class; and in the sixth class I have placed all who draw less than $720, the average proposed by him for the fifth class.

 The foregoing tables shew an expenditure of $101,176 on 85 clerks, or $1,190 a piece on the average; and according to classes an average of-

$3,276 for 1st class.

 If we distribute the 85 clerks into 6 classes according to the numbers in each of the classes just mentioned, and assign to each class the salary contemplated by the Secretary of State, taking as the average pay in each class half the total of the minimum and maximum pay thereof, we arrive at the following result:-

 This gives an average yearly salary of about $965 for each clerk, and shews a saving of $19,010 on the present expenditure.

921

 The Treasurer's scheme in C.S.O. 488, forwarded to the Secretary of State with despatch No. 88 of 15th March last, provides for 63 clerks. It is not quite clear what he intended the pay of the sixth class to be, but assuming it to be $48 a month, the scheme shews an average yearly salary of $1,239 for each of the 63 clerks.

 It will be seen therefore that the average yearly salary as provided in the Estimates for 1892 for the clerks (85 in number) is $1,189; that according to the Secretary of State's scheme it would be $965; and that according to the Trea- surer's scheme (for 63 clerks) it would be $1,239.

 In my minute of 3rd instant, I shewed that in Singapore the average clerical salary is $735, in Mauritius, the equivalent of $744, and in Ceylon, the equivalent of $373. I see no reason why in Hongkong it should greatly exceed the highest of these amounts. I entirely agree, if I may be allowed to say so, in the opinion expressed in a despatch which I have recently seen by the Secretary of State that it is undesirable to bring out men from England to fill clerkships in this Colony; and for Chinese and Portuguese clerks I consider the existing rates of pay to be, almost without an exception, altogether excessive. The rates shewn in the sub- joined table, which I submit for consideration, are in my opinion amply liberal.

This gives an average annual salary of about $823, and shews a saving on the existing expenditure of $31,010.

It will be observed that the proposed average pay is $79 per annum in excess of that given in Mauritius, $88 in excess of that given at Singapore, and a great deal more than double that given in Ceylon. The pay of the several classes ranges from $30 rising to $40 in the lowest class, to five times those amounts, or $150 rising to $200 in the highest.

The rates compare very favourably with the salaries given by private firms in Hongkong. And it must be remembered that these firms do not grant pensions, whereas Government does.

From every point of view therefore I consider the scale which I suggest to be abundantly sufficient. Nor is either the quantity of the work demanded of our clerks, nor the quality of their work such as to justify extraordinary rates of

pay.

As regards the amount of work they have to do, I am satisfied that it is in many cases not sufficient, and that the number of our clerks may presently be reduced. I am not yet in a position to submit definite proposals in this behalf; but as regards my own Office I may say that I could certainly dispense with the Chief Clerk (now on leave), and probably with another clerk in addition.

HONGKONG.

No. 270.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

28 November, 1892.

With reference to my Predecessor's despatch No. 112 of 3rd May last, and to your despatch No. 189 of 28th May last, regarding the classification and revision of the salaries of Clerkships in the Hongkong service, I have the honour to inform you that I have had under my consideration the amended scheme of salaries, which, with the concurrence of your Executive Council, you have since submitted to me, and which may be summarised as follows:-

1st Class, including six Clerks, salary $1,800 rising to $2,400 a year ; 2nd Class, including seven Clerks, salary $1,440 rising to $1,680 a year; 3rd Class, including fifteen Clerks, salary $960 rising to $1,200 a year; 4th Class, including nine Clerks, salary $720 rising to $840 a year ; 5th Class, including eighteen Clerks, salary $540 rising to $660 a year; 6th Class, including thirty Clerks, salary $360 rising to $480 a year.

2. I have no objection to the gradual introduction of this scheme, as vacancies occur, in lieu of the scheme approved in my Predecessor's despatch No. 112 of 3rd May last, if the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council concur in your view that the proposed salaries are sufficient.

3. You will remember that the salaries of these officers were recently raised 20 per cent. above the rates of pay fixed in 1875, because it was represented in the Report enclosed in your Predecessor's despatch No. 389 of 23rd December, 1889, that the cost of living in Hongkong had grown very considerably in the case of officers domiciled in the East, as well as in the case of officers appointed from England. That Report stated in effect that the cost of living generally had within ten years increased 20 per cent. for Europeans, and 10 per cent. for non-Europeans, and it was accordingly recommended that European officers should be given what was practically as estimated in dollars a rise of 35 per cent. on their 1875 rates of pay, and non-European officers a rise of 20 per cent. over the rates prevailing in

1875.

472

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

4. Under the scheme now proposed the salaries will be more or less restored to the 1875 rates. The inference seems to follow that, in the opinion of yourself and your Executive Council, the cost of living for non-Europeans is not materially if at all greater than it was in 1875. If so, I can only assume that the state- ments in the above mentioned Report as to the increased cost of living were exaggerated; and if there was exaggeration in the view taken as to non-Europeans, there was presumably also some exaggeration as regards the case of Europeans.

For instance, both classes of officers alike must to some extent live on imported food and use imported clothing, the price of which (according to the Report) increased "generally speaking in proportion to the fall in exchange," a statement which was hardly borne out by the statistics of prices of various articles of food, which were given in the Appendices to the Report.

5. It would therefore appear to follow that the increase of 35 per cent. granted to the higher officers in the service was unnecessarily liberal, if viewed simply in the light of the increased cost of living, even including the cost of remittances to England.

6. I request you to lay this despatch before the Legislative Council, when the revised scheme of the Clerk's salaries is submitted to that Body.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

RIPON.

HONGKONG, 13th July, 1892.

MY LORD,

*

**

9. In the circumstances which I have stated, I have naturally given my careful consideration to the question of the possibility of effecting retrenchment in the ordinary expenditure of the Colony. I do not consider that the ordinary recurrent annual expenditure on Public Works can be reduced without unduly impairing efficiency, and entailing neglect which would subsequently have to be retrieved at a large outlay; and I am of opinion that the Public Works staff which I have reported to be permanently required is not in excess of what is actually necessary. But in other directions, which I will proceed to indicate, I think that retrenchment may be effected with advantage as opportunity may offer.

10. The higher officers, or civil servants proper, are not in my opinion overpaid, regard being had to the cost and conditions of living for Englishmen, and especially to the cost of house rent in Hongkong. But I have no hesitation in saying that the civil service is over-manned, that the clerical service is largely overpaid, and that the cost of the Police is unduly high.

11. With my confidential despatch of the 8th June, I submitted a scheme of reorganization by which an ultimate saving of some $31,000 a year can be effected. It is a feature in that scheme that Englishmen should not be sent out to fill posts in the clerical service; and whatever Your Lordship's judgment may be on the scheme as a whole, I trust that this point will commend itself.

??

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

473

12. The following are the reductions which I think might be made in the cost of the civil service proper.

By the amalgamation of the post of Registrar General with that of Colonial Secretary, a saving of about $6,000. To which may be added, by the abolition of the Chief Clerkship and another Clerkship in the Colonial Secretary's Office, a saving of $3,000, apart from the saving to be effected under the general scheme of clerical reorganization.

By the amalgamation of the post of Postmaster General with that of Treasurer, a saving (allowing for an increase to the salary of the Treasurer) of some $4,000.

By the abolition of the post of Assistant Harbour Master, a saving of $3,000.

By reductions in the cost of Observatory department which is now to a great extent occupied with observations of no particular importance to the Colony, $4,000.

By reductions in the subordinate branches of the Supreme Court $3,000. By the abolition of one Magistrate, the work of the Court not being too heavy for one energetic officer, about $5,000.

By the combination of the post of Superintendent of the Gaol with that of the Assistant Superintendent of Police, a saving of about $3,500.

By the reduction of the Cadets to two, a saving of about $3,500.

Total saving about $35,000.

13. The strength of the Military force now quartered in Hongkong renders it possible to discount to a great extent the contingency of the Police having to deal with a local emeute. The present cost of the Police considerably exceeds 10 per cent. of the gross revenue, and is in my opinion unnecessarily high. The Captain Superintendent, General GORDON, has not yet been able to elaborate the details of a scheme of reduction; but he has informed me that he considers that it will be feasible without risk to effect an ultimate saving of $15,000.

14. The possible saving on the existing cost of the establishments therefore amounts to $31,000 on the clerical service, $35,000 on the civil service proper, and $15,000 on the Police-or $81,000 in all. But assuming that Your Lordship concurs in the propriety of these reductions-a point on which I shall be glad to receive an expression of Your Lordship's opinion-they obviously can be effected only as vacancies occur: they can, but very partially, be realised in the near future, and their complete fulfilment cannot be obtained before the lapse of a considerable period. They therefore afford no argument against the urgent necessity for raising a loan at the earliest possible date.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

24 October, 1892.

 I have had under my consideration the suggestions made in paragraph 10 to 13 of

 your Confidential despatch of 13th July last, for reducing the expenditure on establishments in Hongkong, as vacancies occur and opportunities arise.

 2. Of the clerical staff I will only say, pending the receipt of a reply to my predecessor's Confidential despatch of 5th August last, that I concur in your view that Englishmen should not be sent out to fill posts in this branch of the Govern- ment Service.

 3. Turning to the higher appointments, I am unable, as at present advised, to approve the suggestion that the posts of Colonial Secretary and Registrar General should be combined. The Registrar General's Office should not in my opinion be merged in any other, but hold its present distinct position, as being intended for, and only concerned with, the special needs of the Chinese population. If under the present arrangement the time of the Colonial Secretary and of the Registrar General is in neither case fully occupied, it appears to me that the sub- ordinate staff of each department should be reduced, possibly by abolishing the posts of Assistant Colonial Secretary and Assistant Registrar General.

 4. The posts of Treasurer and Postmaster General were separated but two years ago, after very careful consideration; and it is therefore premature to con- template anew the amalgamation of those two offices.

Here again economy should rather be looked for in the direction of reducing the staff of one or both of the Departments, and of holding the Chief Officers responsible for efficient and constant control of the work of their subordinates.

 5. I am prepared, although with some hesitation, to accept the view, expressed in your despatch No. 252 of 3rd August last, that the work of the Harbour De- partment can be efficiently performed by one Officer with the assistance of a Cadet, and with a view to abolishing the office of Assistant Harbour Master, I have noted Captain HASTINGS' name for transfer to employment in another Colony, should any suitable vacancy occur.

 6. With reference to your proposal to reduce the cost of the Observatory, I would remind you that the staff of the Observatory was recently increased on the recommendation of, and after exhaustive enquiry by, a local Committee. I should therefore in any case be opposed to making a reduction in the establishment at the present time; moreover valuable work appears to have been done by this Office, the importance of which in the eyes of the Astronomer Royal may be gauged from the enclosed letter*, and I am not prepared to admit that this work is of a kind which is of no special value to the Colony itself.

 7. You do not state in what direction you contemplate making a slight reduction in the establishment of the Supreme Court, but I am content to leave this point to your discretion.

 8. The promotion of Mr. WISE offers an opportunity for trying the experi- ment of carrying on the work of the Police Court with one Magistrate alone, though I am very far from confident that the experiment will prove successful. You do not state what emoluments you propose to give to Mr. WODEHOUSE, if called upon to perform the work, which has hitherto been divided between two Magistrates; and I assume that it will probably be found necessary to relieve him of his other duties, those namely of Coroner and Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, so as to allow him to devote his whole energies to the Magistracy. In that case it would seem fair to continue to him personally so long as he holds the Fosts of sole Magistrate, the aggregate salary now drawn by him in his three offices, leaving the question of his successor's salary to be settled hereafter on

vacancy. If this course is adopted, however, the saving caused by the abolition of one Magistracy would for the present be reduced from $5,000 to $3,000 a year. The duties of Coroner might perhaps be given to the Superintendent of the Gaol, and you could doubtless select some other officer to undertake the duties of Super- intendent of the Fire Brigade. The abolition of the second Magistrate will apparently require an amendment of Ordinance 10 of 1890.

9. In regard to the proposed combination of the post of Superintendent of the Gaol with that of the Deputy Superintendent of Police, I have to remind you that General GORDON stated, in a Report dated 16th April, which formed an enclosure to your despatch No. 148 of 27th April last, that for the efficient carry- ing out of the duties of the Hongkong Police, it was in his opinion necessary that there should be two superior officers whose whole time should be devoted to Police duties. I am disposed to concur in this opinion, and am therefore not satisfied that the duties of Deputy Superintendent of Police could be efficiently performed by the Superintendent of the Gaol. If, however, the latter officer's time is not fully occupied, he might perhaps be given some additional work, e.g., that of Coroner, as suggested above.

10. I have already stated that I do not view with much confidence the experiment of entrusting the Magisterial duties of the Colony to a single Officer, nor am I wholly satisfied that the Assistant Harbour Mastership can permanently be dispensed with, although both in the one case and in the other you have my authority to make the reduction when opportunity offers. I cannot but think that in Hongkong as in other Colonies such amalgamation will not improbably imply a present increase of pay to the surviving officer and a re-establishment of the abolished appointment in the near future.

The fact seems to be that in more than one department in the Colony there is too much work for one officer and too little work for two, inviting to some extent re-distribution of duties but forbidding any extensive abolition.

11. You are at liberty to reduce the number of Cadets to two. If that number should hereafter be found insufficient to supply the vacancies which arise whether in permanent or acting appointments, it will be easy to increase the number again.

12. As to the Police, I would refer you to the 3rd paragraph of my predecessor's Confidential despatch of the 5th August, in which stress was laid upon the necessity for great circumspection in dealing with any proposals for reducing the strength of the force. You might, however, consider whether any changes are advisable in the specially favourable Pension Regulations of the Police, all of whom (European, Indian and Chinese alike) are allowed to retire after only 15 years' service. In the Straits Settlements there is an additional proviso to the effect that a member of the Force must have attained the age of 45 before he is allowed to retire on pension (except on grounds of ill-health); and it might be desirable to introduce at any rate this provision into the Hongkong rules, so as to some extent to reduce the heavy charges for Police pensions. Any change in the Pension Rules could, of course, only be applied to men hereafter appointed to the Force.

I have the honour to be,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 21st December, 1892.

MY LORD MARQUESS,

 I have the honour to transmit for Your Lordship's consideration the enclosed protest by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong against the Appropriation Bill for 1893 as passed by the Council.

 2. The Memorialists contend that the Bill, as passed, was not legally passed, inasmuch as the Official Members were incompetent to vote on a question in which they had a personal interest, viz., their own salaries, that consequently the official votes are ipso facto null and void, that if they be so reckoned, as they should be, it will be found that the reductions of salaries moved in each case were legally carried by a majority of the Council, and that the Bill has really been passed subject to those reductions, and that such should have been declared to be the case.

 3. The contention, if sound, would obviously necessitate an alteration in the constitution of the Colony, for otherwise it would always be in the power of the Unofficial Members of Council to bring the Government to a deadlock by refus- ing to vote any salaries until any demand they might happen to have made had been conceded. But I imagine that the argument that Official Members are disqualified from voting for their own salaries is not sound; and even if it were, it is clear that the contention that the Bill has been legally passed subject to the stated reductions of the salaries is untenable. For as Your Lordship will see from the minutes of the proceedings, of which I enclose a copy, the items for each department were separately moved and carried; and even if the vote of the Official Member concerned in each case (e.g., the vote of the Colonial Secretary in the case of the item for the Colonial Secretary's department, the Treasurer's in the case of the Treasury, and so on) be counted as null and void, every item will neverthe- less be found to have been legally carried and passed and every amendment for reduction to have been legally rejected, by a majority of the Council.

 4. As to the substantive merits of the motion for the reduction of salaries, I would beg leave respectfully to refer Your Lordship to my despatch No. 336 of 5th instant, with which I had the honour to forward the Bill.

 5. I have now the honour to submit that the protest which I forward contains nothing to prevent Her Majesty's gracious confirmation and assent being given to the Appropriation Bill for 1893.

I have the honour to be,

SIR,

15 February, 1893.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 344 of 21st December last, forwarding a protest by the Unofficial Members of the Legis- lative Council against the Appropriation Bill for 1893 as passed by the Council.

I request you to inform the Memorialists that the course which the Official Members of the Council pursued in voting on the question of the reduction of their salaries was correct, and in accordance with the practice of the House of Commons; and that this being so, I see no reason on that account to advise Her Majesty to disallow the Appropriation Ordinance. I have addressed you separately in regard to that Ordinance and the Estimates for the current year.

Enclosure No. 1.

MY LORD Marquess,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 17th January, 1893.

With my despatch No. 344 of 21st ultimo I had the honour to forward for Your Lordship's consideration a copy of a protest made by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council against the Appropriation Ordinance for 1893 as passed by the Council, and I have now the honour at their request to forward the enclosed copy of a Memorial connected therewith addressed by them to Your Lordship.

2. The object of the Memorial is two-fold-first, to prevent the Royal Assent being given to the Appropriation Ordinance, and as a corollary to secure the im- mediate reduction of certain salaries; and secondly, to obtain the appointment of a Commission to investigate and report on the cost of the local Administration.

3. Your Lordship will already have gathered from my despatches Nos. 336 and 344 of 5th and 21st ultimo, forwarding the Appropriation Ordinance for 1893 and the protest thereagainst by the Unofficial Members, that I consider that no case has been made out either for disallowing the Ordinance, or for effecting the immediate reductions moved for in Committee on Supply in certain salaries; and I see no reason to alter the opinion which the Colonial Secretary, by my direction, expressed in opposing a motion made on the 9th May last for the appointment of a retrenchment Commission, that the appointment of such a Commission is unneces- sary and undesirable. But it will probably be convenient to Your Lordship that I should deal seriatim with the various representations and contentions contained in the Memorial, and I shall accordingly proceed to do so, referring to the numbers and letters which, for the sake of easy reference, I have prefixed to its several para- graphs and sub-paragraphs.

478

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

 4. Paragraphs 1 and 2 with its sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) set out certain circumstances connected with the passing of the Appropriation Ordinance, and pray that the Royal Assent may be withheld from the Ordinance. I have no remarks to offer on them.

 5. Paragraph 3 contends that the votes of the Official Members were illegal and void inasmuch as those members were incompetent to vote by reason of the direct and personal pecuniary interest which they had in the rejection of the amendments for the reduction of salaries, and that consequently those amendments should have been declared to have been carried. On this point I would solicit reference to my despatch No. 344 of 21st ultimo (copy annexed) from which Your Lordship will see that even if the contention that under the constitution of this Colony Official Members of Council are disqualified from voting for their own salaries, (which I doubt) the conclusion that the Appropriation Ordinance as passed was not legally passed does not follow from the premises. For each item in the Bill was separately moved, and each amendment thereto likewise; and if the vote of the Official con- cerned in each case be counted as null and void, that of the Colonial Secretary, for example, in the case of the item of the Colonial Secretary's establishment, that of the Treasurer in the case of the Treasury, and so on, it will be seen that none the less every motion for the several items as moved by the Colonial Secretary was legally carried, and every amendment for reduction legally negatived, by a majority of the Council.

 6. Paragraph 4 with its sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) purports to submit "a short history of the increased salaries question," and by way of so doing it relates some utterances by Sir W. DES V?ux regarding the condition and prospects of the Colony, recapitulates certain circumstances connected with the increase of the Military Contribution, asserts that Lord KNUTSFORD "directed the payment for 1891 of the increased rates of salary on the allegations that house rent for Europeans had increased from 100 to 150 per cent., and for Chinese 100 per cent.," and states that the Officials had notice that the increases of salaries were subject to future revision. The last point will be more conveniently dealt with in connection with the succeeding paragraph (5) of the Memorial. As regards the other points I would observe (1) that Sir W. DES V?ux's utterances have no bearing on the question unless the revenue has fallen away since they were made, which fortunately is precisely the reverse of the actual fact; (2) that the decision of Her Majesty's Government to increase the Military Contribution of Hongkong did somewhat illogically produce the demand made in 1891 by the Unofficial Members for the cancellation of the recently granted increases of salaries, and is also largely answer- able for the similar motions for reduction in Committee on 1893 Supply; and (3) that the allegation that the Secretary of State directed the payment of the increases of salaries in 1891 on the ground mentioned, is a mis-statement.

 7. Paragraph 5 contends that the civil servants have no vested interest in the increases, and that the Unofficial Members have done right in moving the reduction thereof. The civil servants have, in my opinion, the same right, no more but no less, to expect a continuance of the payment of their present rates of salary while the Colony is able to pay them and the circumstances under which they were fixed have not materially altered, as civil servants elsewhere have to expect the payment of the salaries that have been assigned to them. I have never questioned the right of the Unofficial Members to move reductions of salaries; what I do question and most emphatically deny is that they have made out a fair case in support of their motion. My view on this head is clearly stated in the subjoined extract from the Colonial Secretary's speech in Committee on Supply.

 "The side of the Unofficials is that the financial condition of the Colony requires that the salaries should be reduced, and they contend that they have a right to move such reduction. In support of their contention they quote the dictum of a previous Governor-it is quite unnecessary, their right being inherent and not requiring any such support. Your Excellency's predecessor pointed out that, as there was no longer a fixed Establishment Ordinance in the Colony, the Unofficial Members would annually have an opportunity of moving the reduction of salaries whenever they thought that such reduction was called for by circumstances. That opportunity has now come round, and they have availed themselves of it. They have a perfect right to do so--nay more, it is their bounden duty to do so if circumstances demand it; the only question for them to consider is whether circumstances do demand it. As to that, let us examine a little."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

479

8. Paragraph 6 asks the question whether "there is any justification now for the present endeavour to reduce the increased salaries to the 1890 level," and its sub-sections (a) to (k) contain the reasons which apparently have induced the Memorialists to answer the question in the affirmative. I proceed to notice each sub-paragraph separately.

Sub-paragraph (a) recurs to certain before mentioned utterances by Sir W. DES VEUX. They are relevant only if the revenue has declined: the revenue has steadily increased.

Sub-paragraph-(b) "Land has not improved in value; it is lower now than it has been for a number of years; and land sales have fallen off."-There is un- questionably no longer the rush for land that there was in the heyday of the gambling mania in Hongkong, land does not now change hands at the inflated prices which it then often commanded, and owing to the losses sustained by not a few of the non-Chinese residents through gambling in many descriptions of shares the present would undoubtedly be an inopportune time for the Government to attempt to realise its assets by disposing of land on a large scale. But land re- quired for bona fide business purposes commands a fair price-we obtained only the other day a sum of $67,000 for a lot of waste land only 19,200 square feet in extent--and land sales have realised in 1892 $121,828 as against $51,761 in 1891 and $16,338 in 1890.

Sub-paragraph (c) asserts that the general trade of the Colony is in an un- satisfactory condition, and that several of the oldest established mercantile houses have collapsed, and it draws especial attention to the fact that the oldest exchange bank in the East, by which I presume is meant the late New Oriental Bank Cor- poration which succeeded the old Oriental Bank Corporation, has fallen, and that another banking institution (the Chartered Mercantile Bank) has collapsed.

The real condition of affairs and the causes of the losses sustained by some of the non-Chinese mercantile houses are very fairly stated in the following letter which has recently been published in the China Mail:-

THE MARINE LOT-HOLDERS' MEMORIAL.

To the Editor of the

"CHINA MAIL."

January 14.

SIR,-Will you allow me, as an old resident and property-owner in this Colony, to enter my strongest protest against the deliberate and gross misrepresent- ations as to the position of the Colony made in the above memorial. Surely, the very limited number of persons interested in the Praya Reclamation are not justified in representing their interests as being of public importance; nor are they justified while seeking relief by trying to force Government into making a loan for their special benefit. To class themselves as all merchants and traders is, to say the least, wide of the truth. The attempt to say that the present widespread ruin in the Colony is due to the depressed condition of trade is utterly untrue and misleading. The honourable member who alluded to this memorial in Council knows better than anyone else that the true cause of the present wrecked condition of the Colony is attributable almost solely to the deplorable gambling mania that was created in the floating of the Land Investment Company, the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company, the Borneo Companies, the Charbonnages du Tonquin, &c., &c.

I contend that the commercial prospects of this Colony are thoroughly sound and that the future of Hongkong will be far brighter than the past, if only the recent lessons are remembered. Fortunes made in legitimate business have been sacrificed to the calamitous gambling mania that was so unscrupulously led by a gang of men who had little to lose so far as their own reputation was concerned, but who could, and did look on and see hundreds ruined with complacency.

Hongkong can and will right itself without resorting to such means as the men.orialists demand. Judging from the past I am firmly convinced that there are other motives behind the memorial that will develop themselves if the money is found by the Colony.

The soundest criterion of the condition of the Colony is the position of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, and both are reported to be able to employ their whole funds in sound and legitimate trade advances. Trade, instead of being monopolised by a few large firms as formerly, is now divided between a numerous body of merchants.-Yours,

A.B.C.

480

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

 A dispassionate view of the actual position may also be gathered from the appended extract from the editorial of 2nd ultimo in the other leading local paper, The Hongkong Daily Press:-

 "No self-respecting Government or legislature can afford to play fast and loose with the salaries of public servants, and when an increase is granted it is not expected to be taken away a year afterwards. The statement made at the time the general increase was granted in Hongkong, that the salaries would be liable to reconsideration in subsequent years, was not equivalent to a promise on the part of the Government that they should be reduced. If the state of the Colony became so bad that there was no money to pay the salaries with, the Civil Servants would have to go without them altogether, but happily we have not arrived at that point yet, nor even at a point where a reduction in the salaries is absolutely necessary. Nevertheless the Colony's state is such that every opportunity ought to be taken, as vacancies occur, of reducing the number of officers, and, when a supernumerary is transferred from one department to fill a substantive appointment in another, to reduce the salary if the office is one of those which appear to be overpaid."

 "The necessity for retrenchment does not arise from any falling off in the general trade and prosperity of the Colony, but from the fact that the community has seen a considerable portion of its accumulated savings swept away and is now appreciably poorer than it was a few years ago. Hence the pressure of taxation is more severely felt and is borne with greater impatience, an impatience that is increased by the knowledge that the Colony has to support an army of Civil Servants far in excess of its requirements. The Colonial Secretary says that 'while individuals in the Colony have in recent years lost heavily by gambling 'the condition of the community at large is sound and progressive. But the individuals who have lost heavily by gambling are a pretty numerous class, and there is a still more numerous class of bona fide investors who have seen their property largely depreciated in value and who if they are compelled by circum- stances to realise can only do so at a heavy loss. All this means curtailment of private expenditure, a smaller custom for the stores, and the depression which any community experiences when the practice of small economies is forced upon it by inexorable necessity. But our difficulties are of a temporary nature and are already, we hope, beginning to disappear. As to trade generally, there is no doubt it is expanding and is bound to go on expanding. Of course no one looks for very large profits in these days of uncertain exchange, small commissions, and keen competition. But in judging whether a community is advancing or receding in prosperity the only reliable test is the increase or decrease in the volume of its trade. In Hongkong we have no statistics available to give us the value of the trade from time to time, but information is obtainable which gives a general idea of whether it is increasing or declining. There are the shipping returns, for instance. These show an increase. But, we are told by the pessimists, the ship- ping returns prove nothing, that it is all a delusion about shipping being the life blood of the Colony, that ships only come here because it is cheaper to run them at a loss than to lay them up, that they bring only part cargoes and that the bulk of these they take on with them to Shanghai or Japan, leaving only an infinitesimal quantity here. With no figures to show what the ships actually do bring those who desire to represent the trade of the Colony as falling off have a free hand when they indulge in talk of this kind. But when we look at the returns of the Chinese Customs we are on rather more certain ground. Mr. McLEAVY BROWN'S report on the trade passing the Kowloon Customs stations last year showed that at all events the portion of the Colony's trade coming under the notice of the Foreign Inspectorate had increased, and the last quarterly returns tell the same tale. The number of junks passing the stations inwards last quarter was 6,451 as against 6,291 in the same quarter of 1891 and 6,240 in 1890, and there has been a corresponding increase in the number. outwards. These figures show that there has been not even a temporary falling off in the general trade of the Colony, while as to the future, the magnificent geographical position of the place not only renders any permanent decline practically impossible but ensures a steady growth. We do not know if financiers at home are likely to be much affected by the speeches of the Unofficial Members on Wednesday, but if they choose to use their own judg- ment and intelligence they will readily see that the stock of the proposed loan will form a first rate investment. The various companies in which several of the Unofficial.Members are interested as directors would be glad to take it all up as an investment for their reserve funds if the loan were floated locally in silver."

-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

481

There is also, I submit, much force in the following observations made by the Colonial Secretary in speaking to Supply in Committee.

"We have here no statistics of exports and imports and it is therefore impossible actually to prove the volume of our trade by the irrefragable evidence of incontestible figures. In default of such we must have recourse to inferential indications. These are not wanting. One of them is the amount of shipping frequenting the port. It must be presumed that ships do not come here for nothing. In 1890 the shipping of the port exceeded that of any previous year; it was, however, surpassed by that of the following year, and the present year bids fair to eclipse the record of 1891. Another indication is the amount of bank notes in local circulation. So far from this amount falling off, the returns show that it has largely increased. In November, 1882, it amounted to $4,757,055; in November, 1890, to $5,565,533; in November, 1891, to $5,702,198; at date it is $5,999,712. Then again, to take an article which has come rather prominently before the public lately, petroleum. My Office has been recently besieged with applications for temporary licences, the usual accommodation being quite insufficient for the supply. I am aware that there was an exceptional glut in the island owing to some alteration of the lekin in China, but the figures with which I was made acquainted in connection with recent applications for temporary licences show that the trade is simply enormous. In addition to this my honourable friend on my right, the senior Unofficial Member, has applied for leave to erect extensive premises in Kennedy-town to be permanently licensed for the storage of petroleum. And as if this were not enough, Messrs. ARNHOLD, KARBERG & Co. are erecting tanks for storing importations in bulk on a scale sufficient to supply a large portion of Southern China. This is but one item; if we knew as much about others we should perhaps gain a clue to the explanation of the extraordinary increase in the shipping of the port. To take another item: a correspondence which I have recently had with those concerned in connection with the amount of water they require from Government for their business shows that the out-put of sugar is on a vast scale. As to the coal trade of the port and the immensely important and extraordinarily favourable prospects that await Charbonnages in the immediate future, my honourable friend on my right has himself given me some very interesting information, but as it was given in the course of conversation, I do not feel at liberty to repeat it. I should only weary the Council if I were to dilate further on this branch of the subject, but before leaving it I would like to draw attention to a very significant circumstance, and that is that the Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank recently stated in public that in the month in which he was speaking the Bank had received more applications for bank shares than had been received in any single previous month during the whole period of his connection with the Bank. What inference are we to draw from these circum- stances? That there is a general depletion and stagnation of legitimate business? Trade is usually considered a good thing to have and it would seem that we have it in abundance; shipping has often been termed-especially by the honourable member who represents the Chamber of Commerce-as the life-blood of the Colony "if so the Colony is not in any present danger from anamia; and the circumstance mentioned by the Manager of our principal bank points to no lack of general confidence. The inference that I draw is that while individuals have in recent years lost heavily by gambling, the condition of the community at large is sound and progressive. Turning now to indications from revenue, what do we find? In 1882 the revenue was $1,227,847; for the five years ending with 1886 it averaged $1,291,407, and for the following five years ending with 1891 it averaged $1,863,229. In 1889 the revenue largely exceeded that of any previous year; for 1890 the revenue exceeded that of 1889 by $33,584; the revenue for 1891 exceeded that for 1890 by $13,443; and it can be already said with certainty that the revenue for the current year will exceed that of 1891. So far, that is up to the moment at which I am speaking, I can find no evidence of a shrinking, dwindling revenue; on the contrary, what I find is a continuously expanding revenue. It would unduly tax-the indulgence of the Council if I were to proceed to analyse the component details of the revenue. I have done so for my own satisfaction and the result has served to confirm the impression that the annually increasing revenue connotes a steady increase of the prosperity of the community taken as a whole. The year 1891 has been described as a year of terrible depres- sion; so far as the revenue returns afford a criterion, the fact would appear to be that during that year, as also in 1890 and 1889, in spite of some persons in the Colony having lost a lamentable amount of money through speculation, the Colony as a whole progressed. The revenue exclusive of land sales for 1889, 1890, and

482

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

1891 averaged $1,930,769; for 1891, it was $1,973,540; for 1888 it was only $1,557,300, and in 1887 it was $1,427,485. As already stated the average revenue, including land sales, for the five years ending with 1886, was $1,291,407. As compared with this the revenue, excluding land sales, for 1891-which we are told was a year of terrible depression-was $1,973,540, which shows an increase over the average revenue for 1882-86, including land sales, of more than 50 per cent. So much for the past and present.'

And lastly, in reference to this branch of the question I would solicit Your Lordship's especial attention to the very significant returns, quoted by the Colonial Secretary in speaking to the Loan Bill, under the revenue heading of "Assessed Rates and Taxes."

"In speaking to Supply in Committee I showed that the Colony, taken as a whole, had progressed and was bound to continue to progress and I grounded my statement largely but not exclusively on the revenue returns. It was then neces- sary only to state the broad results that the revenue had more than sufficed to meet the ordinary expenditure and that it had continuously increased, and although it is impossible within the limits of a speech to set out all the component details it may be well for me now to supplement my statement by drawing attention to some of the more important items. Postage receipts are generally recognised as affording some criterion of the condition of the community. They have increased in Hongkong during the ten years from 1882 to 1891 from $100,793 in 1882 to $142,770 in 1891, showing an increase of about 40 per cent., and that in spite of large reductions in the postal rates during that period. The item Markets,' again, furnishes some test as regards a large section of the community. It has increased from $57,950 in 1882 to $83,592 in 1890 and $96,354 in 1891, showing an increase in the last over the first year of over 66 per cent."

"Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD-Indirect taxation, for we pay more for what we get from the market."

"The COLONIAL SECRETARY-It is in any case a fair indication of the condition of a large section of the community. To take another item. Rent of leased lands .shows an increase of 28 per cent., the figures being $140,467 for 1882 and for 1891 $180,158. But which, sir, of all the items that compose our revenue supplies the most trustworthy answer to the question whether the Colony as a whole is progressing or not? Unquestionably the item of assessed rates and taxes. And what, sir, does that item show? It shows an increase in 1891 over 1882 of more than 80 per cent., the figures being for 1882 $252,937, for 1886 $306,131, for 1889 $374,857, for 1890 $414,392, and for 1891 $464,242. These, sir, are very eloquent figures. They speak for themselves and require no comment. Rates were increased on July 1st, 1885, from 12 per cent. per annum to 13 per cent. in Victoria. The increases in the other divisions, of the Peak District and the villages, are not worth considering as more than five-sixths in value of the whole rateable property in the Colony lies within the limits of Victoria. It would be interesting to know how many towns there are in the British Empire in which, with so trifling an addition to the rates as one-twelfth the revenue derived from the assessment of rateable property has in the ten years increased by over 80 per cent."

 The references to the failure of the New Oriental Bank Corporation and the collapse of the Chartered Mercantile Bank are quite irrelevant unless it be intended to imply that these are attributable, to some material extent at all events, to losses incurred in Hongkong by those institutions. In view of the fact that the circumstances which led to the downfall of the New Oriental Bank Corporation and those which have necessitated the reconstruction of the Chartered Mercantile Bank are very generally known, it is astonishing that a banker-(one of the signatories of the Mec- morial, Mr. WHITEHEAD, is the Manager of a local Bank)-should have referred to the cases of the two banks in question as affording an argument in favour of the reduction of certain official salaries in Hongkong. The principal and incomparably the most important bank in Hongkong is the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. Its accounts for the last half-year have not yet been published, but I have unimpeach- able authority for stating that its transactions for that half-year have been the most satisfactory and profitable that it has had for many years past. The Chinese banks in the Colony also find no difficulty in employing their funds to advantage.

 In sub-paragraph (d) the Memorialists quote certain figures from the returns of the revenue of the Chinese Imperial Customs, and they argue therefrom a de- crease in the trade of China, and inferentially, it may be presumed, a decrease in

the trade of Hongkong. I regret that I have not had time, being anxious to des- patch the Memorial by the out-going mail, to thoroughly analyse the items which make up the totals quoted; but I have analysed them sufficiently to satisfy myself that the argument advanced is very misleading. The Memorialists state that "the Chinese Customs revenue may safely be regarded as an index to the variations in trade." This is entirely erroneous. To take for example one very important item -petroleum-the Chinese Customs revenue from this article has largely diminished at some ports in 1892, but so far from the importations having diminished they have enormously increased. The explanation is that the "Battery" tax was re- duced from 40 cents a case in 1891 to ten cents a case in 1892, thereby diminishing the revenue from this source, supposing importations to have remained unchanged, by three fourths. The falling off in the Kowloon revenue does not therefore necessarily imply a corresponding decrease in importations; as a matter of fact 7,700,000 gallons paid duty at Kowloon in 1892 as against 4,600,000 gallons in

1891.

A considerable portion, again, of the falling off in the Chinese revenue derived from Opium is attributable to increased smuggling (not necessarily from Hong- kong) into various parts of China, and the accidental circumstance of a good harvest accounts for a large loss of revenue by way of duty on imported grain. The above considerations may suffice to shew the inaccuracy of the statement that "the Chinese Customs revenue may safely be regarded as an index to the variations in (China's) "trade; " and it is almost superfluous to add that even if it might be so regarded, it would for obvious reasons by no means follow that it might be regarded as an index to the variations of the trade of Hongkong.

I may take this opportunity to invite attention to the enclosed letter published in the China Mail of 31st ultimo shewing the great development of the yarn trade in Hongkong, and I may add that I learn from reliable sources that there has been a considerable development in other branches of commerce also.

In sub-paragraphs (e) and (f) an attempt is made to minimise the benefit which the Colony derives from the Shipping frequenting its port. It can hardly be necessary for me to insist on the self-evident fact that the Colony must benefit and does benefit by its shipping. The amount received by way of light dues supplies no adequate measure of that benefit, but as a matter of fact they have in 1892 brought in the sum of $92,309, or nearly $3,000 more than in 1891.

Sub-paragraph (g) points out that the revenue derived from Opium has dimi- nished. This is so, but the variations in the amount realised by the Opium Farm depend on a number of considerations which do not, as regards many of them, by any means connote a correlative condition of prosperity or the reverse amongst the community at large, or even amongst the Chinese portion of it. What it is im- portant to notice on this head, (and the Memorialists have failed to notice it) is that in spite of a falling off in the Opium revenue, the total of our general revenue has steadily increased-a matter for unmixed satisfaction.

In sub-paragraph (h) the falling off in the revenue derived from the profit on the sale of Subsidiary Coins is mentioned. The remarks on the preceding sub- paragraph are equally applicable here, and I may add that the demand for our subsidiary coins has recently revived in a remarkable degree, and that the profit realised in 1892 amounts to about $45,000.

Sub-paragraph (i) comments on the alleged want of elasticity and productivity in the revenue. As already repeatedly stated, the revenue has continuously in- creased, and the revenue for 1892 considerably exceeds that of any previous year. The fact that it no longer exhibits the previous large surpluses over ordinary expenditure is due to a variety of causes which the Memorialists are careful to omit to mention. These causes are the increase of the Military Contribution, the fall in the value of silver which has necessarily increased the expenditure in several directions, and the growing needs of a growing community. The increases of salaries granted in 1891, which is all that I am at present specially concerned with, forms but an infinitesimal fraction of the total increase of expenditure. As regards the Estimates for 1893, it should further be noted that provision is therein made for the new item of the charges on the proposed loan. It should also be borne in mind that there is every probability that the financial results of 1893 will be more favourable than those appearing in the Estimates, as for the reasons stated in the following extract from the Colonial Secretary's speech in Committee on Supply the revenue for 1893 has been estimated with extreme caution :-

484

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

"As regards the coming year I should state in the first instance that the revenue, which has been put at $1,906,396, has been estimated with great caution in view of the fact that the Colony was about to contract a loan. It was obviously my duty in the face of that fact to be very careful that my estimate of revenue should be moderate, cautious, and practically certain of realisation. I have every con- fidence that it will be realised, and I shall be disappointed if it is not exceeded. But moderate as it is, that estimate of revenue shows a surplus over thees timated ordinary expenditure. And this estimate of ordinary expenditure, be it observed, is far larger than that of any previous year. As I stated in moving the first read- ing of the Bill, it provides for loss on exchange a sum of $77,651 in excess of the provision made in the Supply Bill for 1892. It also includes an entirely new item of $40,000 to meet charges in 1893 in connection with the proposed loan, a larger provision for pension by $5,400, and a more liberal provision for Hospital expenses by $7,623,-and yet the estimate of revenue, as compared with this unusually large estimate of ordinary expenditure, shews a surplus which there is every reason to hope may be more than realised. Really, sir, I can see here no ground for alarm and foreboding: rather I see reason for congratulation and satisfaction."

Sub-paragraph (j) mentions the increase in the ordinary expenditure. I have dealt with that subject in the preceding sub-paragraph, and I have only to add my concurrence in the views expressed by the Colonial Secretary in the appended passage from his speech on the Loan Bill.

66

 'Attention has more than once lately been drawn by Unofficial Members to the fact that the ordinary expenditure has increased in recent years and it was argued the other day in Finance Committee by the honourable member, Mr. BELILIOS, who has indeed followed the same line of argument to-day, that if a certain reduction were effected in that expenditure it would not be necessary to raise the loan.

                                     Well, sir, the complaint of increasing expenditure is one with which Chancellors of Exchequer in growing communities are unfortunately only too generally familiar. The expenditure of growing communities has an awkward knack of increasing, and in most countries so circumstanced it is generally considered to be matter for congratulation if the revenue also simultaneously increases and it is found possible to confine the former within the latter. We, Sir, are in that fortunate position. In spite of a very severe and protracted fall in the value of silver which has necessarily increased our expenditure in various directions, the revenue for the last two years has more than sufficed to meet the ordinary expenditure, and I have no manner of doubt that it will similarly suffice during the current year also. It will not suffice to cover the cost of public works extraordinary in addition, it has not done so in the past, such cost having been largely defrayed from balances arising from the special fund derived from sources of income which are no longer available and from our previous loan; and it will not do so in the future. Nor is there any reason to regret that it is not practicable to cast the whole cost of great public works, which will endure for generations and largely benefit posterity, on current revenue, that is to say, on the existing body of taxpayers. I will go further and say that even if practicable it would still be wrong to do so. revenue sufficed to cover the cost of the public works extraordinary in addition to the ordinary expenditure the proper course would be to readjust the revenue so as to cover only the latter and provide a reserve fund for emergencies, such as extensive damages by typhoons and floods, and when that had been secured, and provision made for the public works extraordinary by a loan, to reduce taxation to whatever extent it might then be found practicable to reduce it. To expect or require the current revenue to cover the cost of relatively vast public works extraordinary in addition to the ordinary expenditure would be as mistaken in principle and policy as it is erroneous in fact to represent the revenue as inadequate for the ordinary expenditure. That the ordinary expenditure admits of reduction has already been stated by Your Excellency, and you have indicated the directions in which you consider that it may properly be reduced; but that any feasible reduction would suffice to provide the requisite funds for the public works ex- traordinary during the next 3 or 5 years as suggested by the honourable member opposite, is a wholly chimerical imagination. And even if it were otherwise, that would afford no valid argument against raising the loan, though it might furnish an argument in favour of reducing taxation when the loan had been raised."

If the

Sub-paragraph (k) refers to the fall in house rents. The Senior Unofficial Member in a proposal which he very recently made to the Government (and in which he was entirely supported by another Unofficial Member, Mr. WHITEHEAD)

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

485

that it should borrow the amount required to complete the Praya Reclamation and advance it to the Marine Lot Owners on their undertaking to repay their advances within twelve months of the completion of their respective sections, stated inter alia that the fall in the rents of houses was purely temporary and would soon rectify itself. But even, as it is, rents in Hongkong are in many cases extremely high. The Colonial Secretary informs me that he pays for a six-roomed house (dining-room, sitting-room and four bed-rooms) more than four times what he paid for a very commodious house in Colombo; and the rent demanded for this year for my residence at the Peak, a very insufficient and unsuitable house, is $2,400.

The statement that "the annual valuations have hardly yet been altered" is perfectly true for the very sufficient reason that the value of house property has not generally depreciated as the Memorialists wish it to be believed. A valuation is made every year, and every house-holder has an appeal against the valuation. The mis-statement that "it was solely on the ground of the great increase in house rents in the Colony that Lord KNUTSFORD sanctioned the increased salaries," is of a character on which I prefer not to comment.

9. Paragraph 7 quotes a passage from my address to the Council on opening the Session, and adds that I recognised the need for retrenchment in every direc- tion. I have only to observe that I did not recognise the need for retrenchment in every direction.

10. Paragraphs 8 and 9 profess to detail my views as to the directions in which economies may properly be effected and repeat the demand for the immediate reduction of certain salaries. The latter point I have already dealt with, and I need not go over the same ground again. As to the former, the paragraphs are misleading in so far as they seem to imply that I am of opinion that the civil service proper is generally overpaid. I have never expressed that opinion, and I do not hold it. On the contrary I am unable to see any sufficient reason for pay- ing the Members of the Executive Council, for example, in Hongkong, where the cost of living is much higher than at Singapore or Colombo, lower rates of salary than those drawn by the corresponding Members of Council in the Straits Settle- ments and Ceylon. The only apparent exception is the Attorney-General, and it must be remembered that he is debarred from private practice in Hongkong. I may further state that it strikes me as anomalous, to say the least of it, that while steps are being taken in those Colonies to compensate the civil servants for their loss by the further depreciation of silver, the opportunity should be seized in Hong- kong to move the reduction of official salaries, and the fall in silver urged as a reason for such reduction!

11. Paragraph 10 states that I have admitted in my address that the financial position is not entirely satisfactory and that the necessity for economy and retrench- ment is imperative. I am of opinion that in the absence of a loan for the public. works extraordinary the financial position is not satisfactory, that a loan for that purpose is absolutely and immediately necessary, and that when the loan has been raised the position will be satisfactory. I may add that the revenue prospects have materially improved in several directions since I prepared my address to the Council. I have already stated to Your Lordship what economies I consider may be judiciously effected in the ordinary expenditure.

12. Paragraph 11 is not a little curious and difficult to understand. It states that the Unofficial Members are the guardians of the public purse, and that it was in vindication of their rights and powers as such, as well as for the protection of the interests of the Colony that they were compelled, on account of the treatment they had received "on many financial questions," to move the immediate reduc- tion of certain salaries. This is not the first occasion on which it has been con- tended that the Unofficial Members not only have in common with their Official colleagues, as Members of the Legislative Council, a responsibility in regard to the expenditure of public funds, but that they are in some special and peculiar sense the guardians of the public purse in contra-distinction to, or even, as it would seem, to the exclusion of the Official Members. The resolution moved by Mr. WHITE- HEAD on the 7th December, 1891, stated that the Unofficial Members are "the lawfully constituted guardians of the public purse," and it based on this assump- tion a request for the appointment of a Retrenchment Committee "composed of Members exclusive of Government officials." The assumption that the Unofficial Members do not merely share a responsibility which devolves on the whole Council, but have an especial responsibility which is not equally borne by the Official Mem- bers, involves a strange misconception which I am quite unable to account for.

486

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

The only distinction that I am aware of in this respect between Official and Un- official Members of Council is in the nature of a limitation of the rights of the latter, and precludes the Official Members from proposing any increase of expend- iture without the previous authorisation of the Governor. Starting, however, from this misconception, the Memorialists state that they were compelled to move the reduction of certain official salaries "in vindication of their own rights and powers," as well as for the protection of the interests of the Colony. The admis- sion that they were actuated by some other motive besides the very sufficient one of a regard for the interests of the Colony renders it highly probable that the other motive which they have admitted was the real and effective cause of their motion. They felt, as they say, that they must "vindicate their own rights and powers," and they were "compelled to take this step" by reason not only of "their position in the Council," but also of "their treatment on many financial questions." In other words, they moved the reduction of salaries not so much. because such reduction was, in their opinion, right and necessary, as because the motion appeared to them a convenient method of asserting their "position," vin- dicating "their own rights and powers," and protesting against the treatment which they had previously met with "on many financial questions." The treatment to which they refer consists, as explained in the rest of the paragraph, of their being used when required, and disregarded when not required, of their being "too often ignored," and "given to understand that their votes and opinions are value- less."

I have had the honour of administering several Governments, and I think I may safely claim to be free from any tendency to ignore Unofficial Members of Council or to regard their votes and opinions as valueless. At the same time it must sometimes happen that my duty prevents me from accepting the opinions of the Unofficial Members, and this was the case in regard to the motion for the reduction of salaries. I carefully examined the financial position and prospects of the Colony, and I arrived at the conclusion that the circumstances neither required nor justified the motion made by the Unofficial Members in Finance Committee, and I accordingly directed the Colonial Secretary to oppose the motion if it were brought forward in Council. I had the less hesitation in doing so because the representation of the financial position, on which the motion for reduction was based, was completely at variance with other representations that had only a short time before been made to me in another connection by the Senior Unofficial Member and endorsed by his colleague, Mr. WHITEHEAD. Your Lordship will most con- veniently be placed in possession of the circumstances to which I allude by a peru- sal of the annexed passage from the speech of the Colonial Secretary on the second reading of the Loan Bill.

 "The senior Unofficial Member, though not very decided in his opposition to the Bill, for he does not counsel abandonment of the proposal but merely postpone- ment, has given expression to some doubts as to the prudence of borrowing now, and has also given vent to some forebodings as to the present unprosperous state of affairs. It is a disappointment, sir, to find that the honourable member has not seen fit to give the second reading of the Bill his cordial support, for from what- ever other quarter opposition might come it might fairly have been expected that he at least would have heartily supported the Government in this matter. The prospects of the Praya Reclamation are involved in the Bill, and so keenly did he realise very recently the vital importance to the Colony of speedily completing that great work, which he has done more than any other man to effectuate, that only last spring he officially proposed to the Government that it should borrow. the amount required to complete the work and advance it to the marine lotholders on their undertaking to repay the advances within twelve months of the completion of their respective sections.'

"Honourable C. P. CHATER-In Hongkong in silver."

"The COLONIAL SECRETARY-And he is now in favour of borrowing in gold, but I fail to see how that affects the point. He had then, sir, no doubts as to the prudence of Government immediately borrowing: in fact he reversed Polonius's advice, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be," and counselled the Government to immediately both borrow and lend. He based his proposal on the ground that some of the lotholders might find it difficult to meet their calls, and that to the rest of them it would be a boon to be enabled to place the amounts in immediately remunerative undertakings. (He would appear, by the way, to have been mistaken as to his first reason, for since then there have been two calls, one of which has been paid practically in full, and the other is in the course of satisfac- tory settlement.) He pointed out the practical impossibility of suspending the

487

work, the Government being under a legal obligation to complete it, and he dwelt on the injury to the work already done, the serious public inconvenience, and the grave sanitary complications which suspension would involve. On 29th August he again wrote in to shew why, in my opinion, the Government need not hesitate to make such a loan, and why they may consider its repayment as well assured.' He said, 'there are not wanting signs of an approaching recuperation.' After giving his reasons for this he proceeds to state that the fall in the rents of houses (of which we heard a good deal the other day) is purely temporary and will soon rectify itself. On this head he writes-

On this head he writes-The fall of rents has been due to too great haste in building, which has caused the supply of houses, especially of those for Europeans, to exceed the present demand. This, however, is a matter that will be cured by time, especially as the population of the Colony is steadily increasing.' In saying that the fall in the rents of houses would be cured by time, he must have had a very short time in his mind, for under his proposal some of the advances would have been repayable within two years. I may point out in passing that all this materially corroborates the position taken by the Government in regard to the recent motion for the reduction of certain salaries. And as lately as the 20th of last September he wrote: the risk run by the Government is really nil.' The amount that was required to complete the reclamation, and that consequently Government was under his proposal to borrow from time to time and advance to a very small section only of the community, the marine lot owners, was $2,491,198, or say in round numbers 25 lacs; and the outstanding liability of the Government, supposing every lot owner punctually to repay his advances when repayment became due, would at one time have exceeded 8 lacs, the exact figure being $811,000. Such was the operation which he pressed on the Government as involving absolutely no risk, and yet to-day he is disposed to question the prudence of the Government's proposal at the present juncture to borrow some 14 lacs only on behalf of the whole community by a loan the repayment of which will be distributed over a period of 50 years. On this question of prudence I appeal from his doubts of to-day to his confidence of the 20th September last and I venture to ask him whether, in view of the proposal which I have mentioned and of the arguments by which he supported it, he cannot see his way to voting for the second reading.'

""

It is, to say the least of it, very embarrassing to be assured that the financial position justifies the Government in borrowing an enormous sum and lending it to a very small section of the community, that signs of "approaching recuperation are not wanting," and that the fall in the rents of houses is purely temporary and will soon rectify itself-and then very shortly after to be assured by the same authority that the financial position is so desperate that it is essential, especially in view of the fact that the rents of houses have fallen, to effect a (net) saving of some $35,000 by the immediate reduction of certain salaries.

13. In paragraph 12 the Memorialists mention that they have frequently objected to the creation of new offices, but as they refrain from specifying those offices, I am not aware to what offices they refer. No new offices have been created since I assumed the administration of the Government. They also object to "the appointment of additional Cadets when there are Cadets still unprovided for;" they have already been informed that there is no intention of appointing any additional Cadets. And lastly, they object to "the appointment of new men to official posts in the Colony when there are officers in the Colony already quali- fied to fill the vacancies without work to do." The only "new men appointed to offices in the Colony since I came here are the Colonial Secretary and the Super- intendent of the Gaol. I am not responsible for either appointment. I am not aware of any "Officers in the Colony without work to do:" if it be meant that some existing offices might with advantage be amalgamated, I have already recom- mended such amalgamations to Your Lordship when opportunity may offer.

14. Paragraph 13 relates that the Unofficial Members have repeatedly asked for the appointment of a Retrenchment Committee. As it also draws attention to the "Hansard" reports of the debates on the several motions, I have only to observe that my reasons for not acceding to the only motion made in that behalf during my administration will be found in the report of the 9th May, 1892. The paragraph further gives the total cost of the establishments in each year since 1886. I enclose a list shewing the details of the additions to establishments, and may here repeat that I have already submitted to Your Lordship my views as to the reductions that may be effected therein.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

15. Paragraph 14 ad?nits that "there may possibly be some difference of opinion in the Colony on the question of official salaries." It would be more correct and explicit to state that the motion for the reduction of the salaries in question has found no support in the Colony outside the Council. It proceeds to state that "there is no division of opinion as to the necessity for a reduction in the cost of administration, and for economising generally by the amalgamation. of certain offices." In this opinion, as Your Lordship is already aware, I concur. And finally, it asserts that there is a similar consensus of opinion as to the necessity "for a reformation in the constitution of the Legislative Council, and as to the uselessness in the Council as at present constituted of the presence of an Unofficial element which is habitually over-ruled by the Official vote.' The question of the constitution of the Legislative Council is a very large question, and I do not pro- pose at present to discuss it; but I gladly avail myself of this opportunity of testifying that I have, during the short time that I have been here, frequently derived advantage and benefit from the presence of the Unofficial element in the Council, and of expressing the hope that I may frequently derive similar advantage and benefit in the future.

16. Paragraph 15 asks Your Lordship's special reference "to the proceedings in the Council as reported in the Hongkong Daily Press of 8th and 22nd December ultimo and posted herewith." No copies have been received with the Memorial; and the issues of 8th and 22nd ultimo of the Hongkong Daily Press contain no report of any proceedings in Council, nor is any report of any proceed- ings in Council contained in the issue of December 22nd, 1891; in that of 8th December, 1891, there is a report of the proceedings (since published in "Hansard") in Council on the 7th of that month. If the papers which are said to have been posted to Your Lordship's address contain anything calling for comment by me, I shall be obliged if Your Lordship will be so good as to draw my attention thereto.

17. In paragraph 16 the Memorialists ask for the appointment of a Retrench- ment Commission "consisting of the members of the community unconnected with Government, or at least of a majority of such persons." I see no reason to alter my conviction that the appointment of such a Commission is unnecessary and undesirable, and I am for many reasons, which it is needless here to detail, of opinion that if it were necessary to appoint a Commission, it should consist of sons unconnected with the Colony.

per-

 18. The concluding paragraph of the Memorial desires Your Lordship to reply "direct to the Unofficial Members or to their doyen." The reason given for this request is as remarkable as the request itself is unusual. It is stated that "We had occasion within the last year or two to address several letters to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and have received neither ac- knowledgment nor reply. It was only in answer to questions in Council that we learned that there had been any communication at all on the subject of our letters." Since I arrived in the Colony the Unofficial Members have addressed no letter, previous to the present Memorial, to the Secretary of State through me.

In 1891

find that they addressed three memorials to the Secretary of State, viz.: (1) on the subject of the Military Contribution-the Secretary of State's reply was duly laid on the table of the Council; (2) on the subject of the increases of Salaries- the Secretary of State's reply was duly sent to the Senior Unofficial Member, the late Mr. RYRIE; and (3) on the subject of the Sunday Cargo Bill-the Secretary of State's reply was duly sent to Mr. RYRIE. I am not in a position to say what Mr. RYRIE did with the replies.

 19. Having now dealt seriatim with every allegation and contention contained in the Memorial, I may briefly state my conclusion on the whole matter.

I con- sider that it has been conclusively shewn by the Colonial Secretary that while a certain number of persons have lost heavily by gambling in recent years, the com- munity taken as a whole has progressed, and that it is bound to continue to pro- gress; that the financial position of the Colony is satisfactory; that a loan for the public works extraordinary is immediately necessary, and that the fact of this necessity does not in any way controvert the soundness of the financial position; that no case whatever has been made out in support of the motion for the imme- diate reduction of certain salaries, and that it is to be regretted that the motion was made; that there is evidence in the Memorial, as well as elsewhere, that the reasons urged in the Finance Committee and the Council in support of the motion were not the sole or the mainly operative reasons for the motion being made; and lastly,

that the appointment of a Retrenchment Committee is neither necessary nor desirable I have therefore the honour respectfully to advise Your Lordship not to accede to the prayers of the Memorialists.

20. I have also to beg Your Lordship to pardon the inordinate length of this despatch. If more time had been available, I might have been able to curtail or compress it, but I was anxious not to lose a mail in forwarding the Memorial to Your Lordship, and although the Appropriation Ordinance was passed in Council on the 30th November, 1892, and the protest thereagainst presented as long ago as the 14th ultimo, it was only on last Monday afternoon that I received the Memorial.

Enclosure No. 1.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

MY LORD MArquis,

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER,

HONGKONG, 12th January, 1893.

1. We, the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, have the honour to hand you herewith enclosed copy of a protest, dated Hongkong the 13th day of December ultimo, laid by us on the table of the Council for record in the Minutes of Council, under the provisions of Rule No. 32 of the Standing Rules and Orders. This protest is the formal expression of our dissent from the decision of the Council in reading a third time and passing, by means of the official majority, the Appropriation Ordinance for 1893-(Ordinance No. 12 of 1892)-in the form in which it has been assented to by the Governor and forwarded to your Lordship.

2. We pray your Lordship to take this protest into consideration, and to give effect to it. We pray you further to advise her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN to refuse her Assent to that Ordinance.

(a) The main question debated in Council on the consideration of this Appropria- tion Bill, was whether the salaries of the principal Civil Servants of the Colony should or should not be reduced to the scale in force in the Colony in 1890, or whether provision should be made for their payment in 1893 at the rates authorized for 1891 and 1892.

(b) In the Finance Committee all the Unofficial Members (five) of Council voted unanimously for the reduction of the salaries, and carried Resolutions amending the Estimates for 1893 in that sense, and reducing the corresponding items in the Appropriation Bill. In Committee of Council, where the Official Members are always in a majority, these votes and items, as originally proposed, were restored by this Official majority, against the unanimous vote of the Unofficial Members; the Bill was thus reported in its original form and not as amended in Finance Committee, was read a third time, and passed. It has since been assented to by His Excellency the Governor, in the name and on behalf of the QUEEN, and published in the Hongkong Government Gazette of 3rd December ultimo.

3. The Unofficial Members submit, for your Lordship's consideration, that in Committee of Council on the Appropriation Bill for 1893, the votes of the Official Members-each of whom were directly and personally interested from a pecuniary point of view in the rejection of the Amendments proposed and supported unanimously by the Unofficial Members for reduction of salaries generally-should not have been

490

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

tendered or accepted; that their votes were illegal and void; that the Amendments proposed by the Unofficial Members should have been declared to have been carried, and should have been embodied in the Bill as reported from the Finance Committee. The Unofficial Members believe that on principle and by every rule of Parliamentary practice and procedure, the Official Members of Council were disqualified from voting on the occasion in question, and submit that the Bill should have been allowed to pass as amended by the Unofficial Members in Finance Committee of the Council.

 4. The Unofficial Members of Council beg further to submit, for your Lordship's consideration, a short history of the increased salaries question, so that in dealing with it you may have before you not only the official view but also the popular aspects of it, and that you may be able to understand the connection which un- doubtedly exists between this special question and the general financial condition of the Colony, and the repeated efforts unavailingly made for some time past by the Unofficial Members to get from the Colonial Government an independent examination into the steady and constant increase in the aggregate cost of the administration of the Government, which we regard as exceptionally heavy if not excessive.

 (a) In 1888 and 1889 this Colony was undoubtedly, so far as appearances went, in a very prosperous condition, and there was no reason to anticipate any serious alteration in its financial position in the immediate future. We need not do more than refer your Lordship, in proof of this, to Sir WM. DES VEUX's exhaustive despatch of 31st October, 1889, to Lord KNUTSFORD, then Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.

(b) In that despatch our late Governor was able to refer to the great wealth of the Colony, to the increased market value of the shares in all registered Companies in Hongkong, to the enormous rise in the value of land, and to the certainty of a further increase therein, leading to a great enhancement of revenue from land sales, crown rents; and an increased volume of taxation, and to a vast commerce in a healthy state of progress, etc., etc.

 (c) A proposal was made at that time and most cordially supported, not only by the then Unofficial Members of Council but by the community generally, to improve the pay of the Civil Servants, compensating them in some way for the then rise in the cost of living in the Colony generally, but more especially in the item of house rent. The value of land in the Colony at that time was indeed very great, and rents were higher than they had ever been before. Early in 1889 a Commission, composed entirely of Unofficial Members of Council (the Chairman only excepted), recommended a general advance in salaries all round. The then Secretary of State for the Colonies approved of the recommendations with various alterations and modifications and after prolonged consideration and discussion in despatches and in Council a revised scale was approved and introduced into the Estimates for 1891. But, during the two years that had elapsed since the first proposals were made, great changes had taken place in the financial condition of the Colony. In his speech in the Council, on 19th March, 1891, Sir G. W. DES V?ux forcibly pointed out that the Colony was suffering largely from three causes which had hit Hong- kong extremely hard--one was the restrictive legislation against Chinese in the Australasian Colonies and in America; another was the increased cultivation of the Poppy in China, which had diminished our Opium Imports; and the third was the decline in the export of Chinese Tea owing to the competition of India and Ceylon. Land had fallen greatly in value; we were largely over-built in the City of Victoria, at the Peak, Magazine Gap, and at Kowloon; house rents were going down considerably in almost all instances; immense sums of money had been lost through unprofitable trade in tobacco planting in British North Borneo, mining ventures in the Malay Peninsula and elsewhere, and a number of the new local enterprises had not yet yielded any return on capital invested, while many others were in course of liquidation; the unprecedentedly violent fluctuations in the gold value of silver had paralyzed and rendered Export and Import trade not only un- profitable but disastrously bad, resulting in heavy losses, and the Colony's revenue showed every symptom of a serious falling off, more particularly the revenue deriv- able from the Government's Opium Farm, which was at that period about one fourth of the Colony's total income. This state of affairs was aggravated by the Military Contribution to the Imperial Government from the Colony being increased from £20,000 to £40,000 per annum, or to nearly one sixth of our total annual revenue, on the ground that an increased Garrison was essential.

Under these circumstances, and while the proposed increase in salaries was under consideration of the Secretary of State for final approval, the Unofficial Members of Council by telegram and by letter entreated his Lordship in the then generally unsatisfactory condition of the Colony to withhold his sanction from the proposed increase, and allow the whole matter to stand over until it was seen whether the Colony could or would recover from its then state of financial and general depression. The payment of the enhanced rates of salary in the Colony was actually suspended for nearly six months pending the result of this appeal to the Secretary of State, and the Civil Servants were expressly warned by the Governor that if payment was made it would be only for the year, and that the whole question of salaries was open for reconsideration and revision in the next and following annual Estimates. Lord KNUTSFORD finally directed the payment for 1891 of the increased rates of salary, on the allegations that house rent for Europeans had increased from 100 to 150 per cent., and for Chinese 100 per cent. Distinct official caution was given to the officers concerned that it was not to be looked upon as a permanent increase, but as an increase that was open to reconsideration and reduction in the next or any following year, if there was no improvement in the financial condition of the Colony.

5. This being a brief history of the question of the increase in official salaries, can it be maintained, as it has been, that the Civil Servants have a vested interest in these increased salaries and that the Unofficial Members are guilty of a grossly inequitable attack on vested interests in moving now for the reduction of these salaries to their former level? We submit that it cannot be so maintained. The power to re-examine and re-adjust them if necessary was specially reserved, and the recipients were officially cautioned that they were not to look upon the increased salaries paid in 1891 as a permanent improvement.

6. Is there any justification now for the present endeavour to reduce the increased salaries to the 1890 level?

(a) The three causes, referred to by Sir G. W. DES VEUX, viz., restrictive legislation against Chinese in Australasia and America; the increased cultivation of the Poppy in China, which diminishes our Opium Imports; and the decline in the Export of Chinese Tea, owing to the competition of India and Ceylon, are still causing the Colony to suffer more largely and more severely than before, and whether any improvement can be looked for in the immediate future is extremely doubtful.

(b) Land has not improved in value; it is lower now than it has been for a number of years; and Land Sales have fallen off. It is improbable that the value of Land will improve for some time to come, as we are already largely over-built generally throughout the Colony, and the Reclamation of new land, along the Praya central westwards from the sea, will be available for building purposes sooner or later.

(c) Is the general trade of the Colony either amongst Chinese or Europeans profitable or even satisfactory? Undoubtedly not. Here (as in many other places) it is bad, and has been for the last two years, probably worse than at any time in the Colony's history. There has been, unfortunately, continued general commercial and financial depression, apprehension, anxiety, and suspense; there is a general want of confidence, credit is seriously contracted, and several of the most respectable and oldest established of our mercantile houses have, under the strain of continuous heavy trade losses, collapsed, while the violent fluctuations in Exchange and the unprecedented decline in the gold value of silver have been the chief factor in bringing about the fall of the oldest Exchange Bank in the East, as well as largely contributing to the collapse of another Banking Institution whose Banking Assets recently were upwards of Ten and Three-quarters Millions of Pounds Sterling.

(d) The trade of the adjoining Province, Kwangtung (Canton), has not shewn any increase in the first nine months of 1892 as compared with the corresponding period of 1891; on the contrary, the Chinese Customs Revenue shews a decrease of almost ten per cent., or over Taels 415,000. The published Returns of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs give:-

??

Revenue for the first nine months of 1891....Taels 4,244,994.24 Revenue for the first nine months of 1892,... 3,829,906.57 The decrease for the first three quarters of 1892 as compared with the same period of 1891, at Canton being over 5 %, at Lappa (Macao) over 15 %, and at Chinese

492

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

Kowloon over 20 %. The Chinese Customs Revenue may safely be regarded as an index to the variations in trade, and even the decreased volume thereof, for the reasons before mentioned, has in many instances resulted unprofitably. Trade cannot improve while the gold value of silver continues shrouded in boundless uncertainty and violent fluctuations in Exchange are taking place.

 (e) Returns may shew some increase in the tonnage of shipping frequenting the harbour, but it is notorious in the Colony that a number of the steamers calling here have not been paying their running expenses, while nearly all have suffered pecuniarily in sympathy with the exceedingly unsatisfactory state of shipping all over the world. Shipping is undoubtedly of the very first importance to the Colony, but the alleged increase of tonnage can in no measure be reasonably construed as shewing any increase of prosperity in trade here. Such a deduction is more or less fallacious. According to the Estimates the revenue from Light Dues is on the decrease. The figures are:-

In 1891,

Revised Estimate for 1892,

Estimate for 1893,

.$89,656.69

87,142.31

.... 87,000.00

 (f) The destination of nearly all the Rice and other Imports from the Northern Ports is Canton. The Steamers carrying these merely pass through our waters, but the inclusion of their tonnage in our Harbour Statistics has led and leads to erroneous deductions. A large number of the Ocean Steamers to and from Europe, America, &c., in like manner swell the official tonnage returns, but in reality may add little to our revenue, and many of them contribute nothing to the trade profits, the steamers having in many instances to call, even with little or nothing to land in, or take from the Colony. They have to call for the sole purpose of transhipment of Cargo and Branch Line requirements.

 (g) The Colony's Revenue from Opium has not increased or even been maintained. The rent from the Opium Farm has fallen from $389,900.00 in 1891, and $519,000.00 estimated for 1892, to $340,800.00 per annum for the next three years. The revenue from this source is of a most uncertain and precarious nature.

 (h) The Revenue obtained from Subsidiary Coinage shows a large decrease. In 1890 it was $90,217.87, in 1891 $73,347.09; the revised Estimate for 1892 is only $8,500.00, and the Estimate for 1893 is $17,000.00.

 (i) The Revenue of the Colony is not as productive and as elastic as when these augmentations in salaries were recommended. There was then a large surplus Revenue over Ordinary Expenditure. The surpluses were:--

In 1889,

$519,107.57

In 1890,

541,638.27

In 1891,

157,229.25

Estimated surplus in Revenue in 1892,

115,216.00

Estimated possible surplus in Revenue in 1893,

...

6,785.00

 (Ordinary Expenditure, in spite of all the efforts of the Unofficial Members, continues to increase annually, and, we think, out of proportion to the real needs of the Colony. The figures are as follows:-

In 1889,

In 1890,

In 1891,

The latest estimate for 1892 is..

1,470,221.00

1,868,073.26

1,882,000.00

1,899,611.00

 (k) House rents are lower now than they were in 1889-1890. The fall has been great; though the effect of this on the Revenue has not yet been felt. The annual valuations have hardly yet been altered. It was solely on the ground of the great increase in house rents in the Colony that Lord KNUTSFORD sanctioned the increased salaries. (See his Lordship's Despatch of 3rd April, 1891, more par- ticularly para. 12.)

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

7. The Governor recognized plainly in his statement to the Council at the opening of the present Session the need of retrenchment in every direction, and said :-

"In the public service vested interests cannot be disregarded, and all "retrenchments 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."

8. In his despatches to your Lordship he tells us that he has recommended reductions of salaries, amalgamation of offices, abolition of appointments as oppor- tunities offer, and has had to ask your sanction for a loan. He evidently agrees with us that the present rates of salary are high, for he has recommended and carried a very considerable reduction in the salary of the new Registrar of the Supreme Court, and he proposes to do the same with all offices as opportunities

occur.

9. The Governor confesses that there is need of retrenchment and reform, that some of the salaries are too high and ought to be reduced, and that the official staff is too numerous. We are also decidedly of His Excellency's opinion and consider that the circumstances which appeared to justify the 1891 increase no longer exist; that an annual economy of $35,000 or $40,000 or more may be easily effected without delay and without hardship, and that as increases were granted and paid upon the express condition that they were open to early reconsideration there is no vested interest to be affected by their revision, and that there is nothing unjust or inequitable in our moving accordingly.

10. In his Excellency the Governor's address herein before referred to he admits that the state of affairs now, so far as finance is concerned, cannot be considered entirely satisfactory. We quite share in this view, and as to the future we keenly feel the imperative necessity for economy and retrenchment.

11. The Unofficial Members beg leave to point out to your Lordship that their position in the Council, and their treatment on many financial questions by the Government and by the Official Members of Council is such that they are compelled to take this step for the protection of the interests of the Colony, and in vindication of their own rights and powers as guardians of the public purse. If any increase of expenditure is proposed locally and it happens to meet with the approval of the Unofficial Members of Council they are consulted and their opinions are cited to your Lordship as justifying the expenditure. It is they who have voted for it. If they disapprove they are too often ignored and given to understand that their votes and opinions are valueless and that their presence in Council might well be dispensed with, and that it is for the Executive Government and for your Lordship to determine what is necessary and proper. If a demand is made on the public purse for any purpose disapproved of by the Government or not cordially supported, the responsibility of rejecting it is thrown on the Unofficial Members.

12. The Unofficial Members have recently objected and objected frequently to the creation of new offices, and the consequent increase in the public charges without their ever being consulted, or having even an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the matter. They are asked to vote the money needed when it is impossible to refuse it. They object to the appointment of additional Cadets when there are Cadets still unprovided for, and to the manufacture of posts to give them salaries when they become too old to be styled as Cadets. They object to the appointment of new men to official posts in the Colony when there are officers in the Colony already qualified to fill the vacancies without work to do.

13. The Unofficial Members have asked the Colonial Government on three different occasions since April last for a Commission to enquire into the whole question of public Expenditure. We refer your Lordship to the debates in Council on 10th April, 1891, 7th December, 1891, and 9th May, 1892, as reported in the Hongkong Hansards, 1890-91, and 1891-92.

The cost of the salaries and personal allowances alone has risen as follows:-

In 1887..

1888, 1889,

$547,650

$552,875

$602,183

$758,139 (estimated).

494

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

Estimated for 1892 about $774,000, and possibly a still larger estimated amount for 1893, hence our motion for reduction to the 1890 basis, with the view to general retrenchment, and the strictest economy which we regard as absolutely necessary.

 14. The Unofficial Members of Council beg to point out to your Lordship that although there may possibly be some difference of opinion in the Colony on the question of official salaries, there is no division of opinion as to the necessity for a reduction in the cost of administration, and for economising generally by the amalgamation of certain offices, as well as for a reformation in the constitution of the Legislative Council, and as to the uselessness in the Council as at present constituted of the presence of an unofficial element which is habitually overruled by the Official vote.

 15. We further beg to ask your Lordship's special reference to the proceedings in the Council as reported in the Hongkong Daily Press of 8th and 22nd December ultimo, and posted herewith.

 16. We ask that an independent Commission, i.e. one consisting of the Members of the Community unconnected with Government or at least of a majority of such persons, should be appointed with full power to investigate and report on the cost of the Administration.

 17. We venture to hope that your Lordship will reply to this letter direct to the Unofficial Members or to their doyen. We had occasion within the last year or two to address several letters to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies and have received neither acknowledgment nor reply. It was only in answer to questions in Council that we learned that there had been any communication at all on the subject of our letters.

We have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient

humble Servants,

 We, the undersigned Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council of Hong- kong, both nominated and elected, desire to place on record our unanimous protest against the Appropriation Ordinance for 1893, entitled---

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, to apply a sum not exceeding Two millions Two hundred and Fifty-six thousand Three hundred and Seventy-five Dollars to the Public Service of the Year 1893.

numbered 12 of 1892 and published in the Hongkong Government Gazette of the 3rd instant as having been passed by this Honourable Council on the 30th day of November, 1892, and as having been assented to by His Excellency the Governor, in the name and on behalf of the Queen, on the 3rd day of December instant.

 We protest against the inclusion in that Ordinance, contrary to the unanimous votes and opinions of all the Unofficial Members of the Council in the Finance Committee and in the Committee of the Council, of large sums for the salaries of the Civil Servants of the Colony in excess of the amounts voted and approved by all the Unofficial Members in the Finance Committee and reported to the Council, and far in excess of what, in our opinion, are necessary or the Colony can reason- ably afford to pay.

 We protest against the Colonial Secretary and the Official Members of Council voting in Committee of Council, and in Council on the third reading of the Bill, in support, of votes for their own salaries in excess of the amounts approved by us in the Finance Committee as reported.

Members of Council are legally incapable of voting on questions in which they are directly pecuniarily interested. They are disqualified on principle and by the law of Parliament formally declared in a recent case in England, and we protest and declare that the votes of the Official Members of Council on the Appropriation Bill, so far as the question of official salaries was concerned, were null and void and of no effect.

We claim that the amendments proposed in Committee of Council for the reduction of official salaries to the scale in force in 1890 were duly carried by a majority of legal votes; that the votes recorded against the amendments were null and void and ought not to have been counted and that the Appropriation Bill ought to have been reported and passed with these amendments.

For the reasons above given we formally and unanimously protest against the so-called Appropriation Ordinance for 1893 as published, and declare it not to have been duly passed by this Honourable Council and not to be law.

THE BOMBAY YARN TRADE IN HONGKONG.

Mr. P. EDULJEE, in his annual report on the Bombay yarn trade in Hongkong,

"The trade in Indian Grey Yarn continues to advance with rapid strides, and the year just past shows an exceptionally prosperous period both to dealers and importers with a substantial increase in volume and price. Total imports to China and Japan which amounted to 389,862 bales in 1891 show an increase of 54,012 bales in 1892 or nearly 14 per cent. In Hongkong alone receipts increased from 218,732 bales in 1891 to 247,569 bales in 1892 or over 13 per cent., whilst direct shipments to Shanghai and Japan advanced to 196,305 bales as against 171,130 bales in 1891 or nearly 15 per cent. Consumption has also kept pace with arrivals, and whereas Hongkong shows an increase of 57,660 bales or nearly 35 per cent. during the past year over that of the previous twelve months, sales in Shanghai have increased from 144,337 bales in 1891 to 184,386 bales in 1892 or nearly 28 per cent. and in Japan from 14,439 bales to 25,337 or over 75 per cent. During the first six months prices were very slow to move and showed a fluctuation of $1 to $2 per bale, but during the latter half of the year the market took a decidedly upward turn, and in spite of one or two ineffectual attempts to bear prices, values have steadily advanced, and during the year the appreciation may be estimated at $15 in No. 6s. and 8s., $13 in No. 10s. and 12s. and $10 in No. 16s. and 20s., and although rates in India showed a corresponding advance, the margin on costs has been more or less considerable. In closing the last annual Report it was re- marked that since the introduction of the trade into China there has been no more disastrous period both to importers and native dealers than the year just past. Not only have supplies increased during the last twelve months, but consumption has in- creased from 161,504 to 219,164 bales, the country being in a better position to absorb more imports, having been happily free from droughts or floods during the period under review."

>

The Northern Ports, more especially the large neighbouring markets of Shang- hai, have greatly contributed to our advancement, and indeed during the first half of the year were it not for the heavy exports to that port, and the large orders received therefrom we would not have been able to report so good a progress in our market. To give a vague idea of how the trade in Shanghai has expanded during the last four years it is only necessary to mention that whereas in 1889 only 55,401 bales were consumed in that market the consumption last year shows 184,386 bales or an increase of nearly 129,000 bales or over 230 per cent."

496

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

 "In November 1890, when the new system of clearance in 3 months was adopted by the principal Indian importers in Hongkong, fears were entertained in certain quarters as to the advisability of the movement, and all sorts of evils to the trade were prognosticated. The system has had now a fair trial of over two years, and not only have the croakings of the pessimists not been verified but the market has assumed a healthier aspect and every fictitious element which led to inflated sales and spurious prices in the past have been eliminated from the trade. During the last twelve months the productions of two new mills have been introduced into our markets, namely, the Coimbatore (in Madras) and Raja Nagar (in Amebabad). Three new mills are in course of erection in Bombay island, namely, the Bomanjee Petit Mills, The Hope Mills, and Jacob Sassoon Mills, one in Calcutta and four others in as many commercial centres of India, making a total of eight new mills, whose production we may see imported into our markets during the ensuing year. The trade with Japan has last year unexpectedly taken an upward turn, as is evidenced by the increased consumption of nearly 11,000 bales over that of 1891. The scarcity of Raw Cotton has been the principal factor at work in the altered circumstances of the trade. This improvement, however, may not be taken as a criterion, as, given another prosperous year and cheap long-stapled raw material, the Japanese bid fair to drive the foreign article from the country at no distant date. Already there is a talk of a contemplated addition of one hundred thousand spindles to the productive powers of local Mills. This would mean an increase of about 175 bales a day or close upon five thousand bales per month to the local out-put. At the close of 1889 the number of Mills throughout Japan was 34, running an aggregate of 268,988 spindles, increasing to 37 mills in 1890 capable of running 382,976 spindles. It is estimated, however, that only 270,000 spindles on an average were employed during the year producing only 110,000 bales of 400 lbs. In 1891 the number of Mills was reduced to 36, and at the close of the first half of last year they stood at 35 with 324,800 spindles producing 102,500 bales as against 110,000 bales in the whole of 1890 and 110,625 bales in 1891. Whilst this is being written, telegraphic news has been received from Japan of the total destruction by fire of two Mills in Osaka containing 30,000 spindles. The great drawback to the local industry in Japan is the unsuitability of the Home-grown Cotton for spinning either alone or after mixing with other staple on account of its harshness and shortness, and the cost to which the Mills are put in supplying themselves from foreign markets. Notwithstanding these drawbacks the country is advancing with steady progress both in the volume and quality of the manufacture suited to its require- ments, and in the course of a few years Japan will not only offer an exceedingly poor outlet for Indian yarns, but be a no mean competitor with Bombay Mill-owners in China markets. In lieu of the manufactured article, however, Japan is now a large buyer in India of Raw Cotton, and the pace at which the trade is advancing since its commencement some two years ago gives promise of a no inconsiderable ex- pansion in the near future."

DOWNING STREET,

21 April, 1893.

SIR,

 I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 12 of the 17th January last, forwarding a Memorial from the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council in support of their Protest of the 13th of December, and praying that Her Majesty should be advised to refuse her assent to the Appropria- tion Ordinance (No. 12 of 1892), and that a Commission should be appointed to investigate and report upon the cost of the local administration.

 2. I have already, in iny despatch No. 25 of 15th February, dealt with the Protest itself, and in my despatch No. 24 of the 14th February, I informed you that Her Majesty would not be advised to disallow the Ordinance, and that I was satisfied that no sufficient reason had been shown for reducing the salaries of any of the existing officers of the service.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

497

3. I have now again carefully considered the position as presented by the Unofficial Members in their "Memorial," and will proceed to explain the reasons which confirm me in the view that my decision was the right one. I fully admit that the reduction of salaries of Civil servants is a measure which may be taken under stress of financial necessity, but I do not see that the condition of the finances of Hongkong justifies such an exceptional step. The Revenue has steadily improved every year for the last nine years, rising from $1,193,000 in 1884 to a sum (omitting exceptional windfalls) of about $2,100,000 in 1892, a rise of 76 %. It is true that the Expenditure has largely increased in the same period, a result, I may observe, due more to the addition to "Services exclusive of Establishments" than to the growth of Establishments which have only increased by 37 % against a rise of 76% in Revenue. But I see nothing in the existing financial position which can not be remedied by ordinary measures of prudence and retrenchment not involving hardship to existing holders of office.

4. Before discussing the question of retrenchment it may be well to make clear what has been the attitude taken up on the salary question by successive Secretaries of State, and by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council respectively.

5. In 1883 a Memorial was received from a number of Civil servants, apply- ing for a general increase of pay; the answer of the Earl of Derby was a decisive refusal to accede to the application, (as will be seen by reference to the corres- 19.3.83. pondence noted in the margin). For the next five years the question appears to 8. of S. No. 93 12.5.83. have remained in abeyance.

Gov. No. 68

6. The question, however, was raised afresh in connection with the Estimates for 1889, and the proposals then put forward were supported by the Unofficial Members, or at all events by some of them, who expressed an opinion in favour of an increase amounting to 20 or 25 % all round. In dealing with this phase of the question, my Predecessor refrained from committing himself to any approval of such general increase, confining himself in the first instance to a suggestion that a Committee composed of Officials and Unofficial Members should be appointed to investigate and to report upon the general cost of living under specified heads of expenditure, in the years 1874, 1879, 1884, and 1889 respectively.

7. The suggested Committee, with the exception of its President, was composed wholly of Unofficial Members; and in its report it was unanimous in expressing the opinion that there had been a rise not only in house rent, but also in the cost of living generally since 1874, and in recommending that the salaries of the higher officers should be restored to their sterling value, taking the dollar at what was its exchange value in 1875. This recommendation, had it been adopted, would have had the effect of immediately increasing salaries by 35 per cent. in dollars, an increase that would by now, owing to the further fall in the sterling value of the dollar, have even exceeded 35 per cent. The claims of the Civil service being thus vouched and recommended by the Unofficial Members of Council, who may be regarded as in some degree special guardians of the public purse, and there being, moreover, a quantity of evidence, tending to prove that the views of those on the spot were based on fact, Lord Knutsford could not well have taken any other course than that of accepting in principle what was being urged upon him. But he declined to go so far as to sanction the somewhat hazardous proposal of fixing the salaries in sterling, and adopted what has proved the more cautious alternative of a fixed addition in dollars not exceeding 35 per cent. to the salaries as they stood in 1875. His Lordship's views were embodied in great detail in his despatch No. 110 of the 19th of June 1890, and the conditions and exceptions therein laid down were, I would point out, almost entirely in the direction of restricting the operation of what the local Government proposed, and afford strong evidence of a desire to protect the public purse.

8. The despatch of the 19th of June, together with the revised scheme of salaries which it authorized, came before the Legislature in connection with the Estimates for 1891, at a time when, I may observe, the members were fully aware of the demand made by the Imperial Government for a larger Military Contribu- tion, but notwithstanding this knowledge the Council voted the increases; and these were in due course, but subject to certain criticisms and exceptions, sanctioned by the Secretary of State in his despatch No. 71 of 3rd April 1891. Shortly after that despatch was posted, he was made aware by a telegram from the Unofficial Members that they had altered their views on the question, but when the reasons on which that change of opinion was based came to be examined by him, they did not appear to him to justify a reversal of a decision which had been arrived at largely in deference to the views put forward by Unofficial Members.

498

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1893.

9. This decision may be taken to have been for a time at least accepted, but the Unofficial Members seek to re-open the question on grounds with which I shall briefly deal.

     I cannot admit the accuracy of the view that my Predecessor agreed to the increase of salaries simply on the ground of the increase in house rent. In his despatch of 19th June 1890, he intimated that his decision was based on the increased cost of living generally; and the 12th paragraph of his later despatch, dated 3rd April 1891, so far from bearing the construction put upon it by the Unofficial Members rather shews that his Lordship thought the increases permis- sible, notwithstanding a certain amount of doubt on his part as to the alleged grievance about house rent. There is not sufficient information before me to enable me to form a final and unhesitating opinion as to whether at the present time rents have fallen or not in comparison with 1889, but however this may be, I would point out that it is not the crucial question. What the Unofficial Members ought to have shown in order to establish their point, is that the rents of 1892 are as low as those of 1875, which was notoriously a period of depression in the real-property market.

10. Certain observations made by Sir W. DES VEUX shortly before quitting the Colony in 1891, as to the power of the Legislative Council to revise and reduce salaries in future from year to year, appear to be relied on in the Memorial. Their application appears not free from ambiguity, but, whatever may have been their scope and intention, they were not adopted by my Predecessor, and are not binding on Her Majesty's Government. To act on them-or rather on the interpretations assigned to them-would be to treat the remuneration of Civil servants on a principle which appears to me objectionable. It would be saying in effect that salaries may be made to rise and fall with the rise and fall in the prosperity of the Colony and even with the rise and fall of share values in the local money market.

  11. Even if it could be shown that the Civil servants have been more fortunate than the facts as to house rent and other items in the cost of living would have justified, it must be remembered that owing to my Predecessor's refusal to fix the salaries on a sterling basis the Civil servants are, through the fall in exchange, now losing some of the advantage which it was thought at the time and on the spot, that the settlement would give them. I am prepared indeed to admit that they were treated with liberality, and the settlement of 1890-1 should (unless in the case of some change at present totally unforeseen) be deemed to exclude the consideration of any further claims which may be advanced on the ground of increased cost of living, fall of exchange, or other similar causes.

  12. But whilst I am thus unable to meet the views of the Unofficial Members as to existing holders of office, I may observe that my attention has for some time been directed to less questionable methods of Retrenchment. In my despatch of 24th October last I expressed myself in favour of abolishing certain of the higher appointments; and in my despatch No. 270 of 28th November last I approved certain considerable prospective decreases in the Clerical Establishment.

13. I have further come to the conclusion that, notwithstanding what has already been decided in the direction of economy, additional advantage would be derived from instituting a comprehensive enquiry affecting all Departments in the Service, so that the facts and the possibilities of reduction in the future may be placed on record, and thus no opportunity of effecting retrenchment allowed to slip by.

14. I desire therefore that you will appoint a Committee for this purpose, over which the Colonial Secretary or the Chief Justice might preside, with one or two other Government officers and certain Unofficial Members of the Council as collea- gues; it being clearly understood that the reference to the Committee does not extend to the question of reducing the salaries of existing officers.

15. You will be good enough to communicate this despatch to the Unofficial Members by sending a copy to the Senior among them and by laying it on the table of the Council together with my two despatches referred to in a previous paragraph (No. 12).

I have the honour to be, Sir

Your most obedient, humble servant,

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 219.

The following Report of the Sanitary Superintendent for 1892, which was laid before the Legis- lative Council on the 25th ultimo, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th June, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

To the President and Members of the

SANITARY BOARD.

SANITARY BOARD ROOM,

HONGKONG, 25th March, 1893.

GENTLEMEN,I have the honour to submit this the fourth annual report, year 1892, 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.

The statement also shows those houses the drains of which were found defective prior to 1892 and the owners of which have not yet re-drained them.

3. Although not to the same extent as in 1891 yet it has frequently happened during the year that comparatively new pipe drains have become choked and this has in most instances occurred through their misuse. The quiet but persistent manner in which Chinese servants will pass solid matters into the drains is the primary cause of the choking of the drains. The iron gratings covering the inlets to the drains are frequently broken by them so that solids may more readily be passed into the drains. Inasmuch as the object of these gratings is to keep solids of any size from entering the drains their breakage at any house simply means that either the tenant or the owner of such house will soon be put to considerable expense in clearing the drains, which expense is not unfrequently greater than it should be, and this arises mainly through the want of skill on the part of those under- taking to do work which they do not properly understand.

MARKETS AND SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

4. The new slaughter-house for the Kau-lung District was opened in July and adequately meets all the requirements of the District. When the depot for the reception of animals imported into the Peninsula for slaughtering purposes has been provided the needs of the district,-so far as proper provision for the control of the meat supply therein is concerned,-will be fairly well mct.

No

5. On the 28th March, the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon reported an outbreak of Rinderpest among some cattle on their importation into Kau-lung. The Board inet the same day and

                                       gave directions for the diseased animals to be destroyed. The whole of the Peninsula was declared a place infected with Cattle Plague and the necessary steps were at once taken to give effect to this declaration. further cases of Rinderpest occurring, Kau-lung was declared to be free from that disease on the 7th April. I think there can be no question but the prompt action taken was the means of preventing the spread of this virulent disease to other animals in the Colony and consequently was a great boon to the various cattle owners and a direct saving to the rate-payers.

6. Only a very few cases of disease other than those just referred to werer eported and none of them were of a character requiring special action to be taken.

during the

year

7. Thirty sheds capable of housing 849 head of cattle, eight sheds capable of housing 267 head of goats and 299 pens capable of housing 1,714 head of swine were licensed during the year. With the exception of two temporary sheds at Wong-nai-chung all the cow-sheds in the Colony have been licensed. A few head of cattle are kept for agricultural purposes in some of the outlying villages where no licensed sheds exist but the animals do not appear to be housed although in very wet weather they may be placed temporarily in some of the houses in the villages. So far as is known all the goats in the Colony are now kept in licensed sheds or pens. A very great many swine-pens are still unlicensed but the law is being gradually enforced and by the end of 1893 it is hoped that most of the pens will be so constructed as to entitle them to be licensed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1893.

517

  8. The sheep and swine imported for slaughter are still kept in houses in the Sai-ying-poon district and this must continue pending the construction of the public depots at Kennedy Town. These temporary places are not licensed.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

9. The attached tabular statements (B) show:---

(a) The death-rate for 1892 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 community 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 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--1888 to 1892 both inclusive--under six disease groups. These groups are the same as in (b) only 6 and 7 groups are amalgamated.

(d) The same as (c) but for the Chinese community.

(e) The total number of deaths occurring in the Colony--those in the Army and Navy excluded-in each month for the past six years together with the death-rate for the estimated population.

10. The attached diagrams show :---

(a) The number of deaths which occurred each month under each of the groups referred to

above.

(b) The mean temperature for each month.

(c) The rainfall for each month.

(d) The number of deaths registered during each month of the years 1888 to 1892 as also

the mean temperature and rainfall.

11. It will be observed that the number of deaths registered during 1892 is very considerably less than in 1891 and that a decrease appears under all the group headings except "Other Causes" where there is an increase of 88. The principal decrease appears under the headings Fevers (182) and Bowel complaints (192).

12. The decrease in the number of deaths recorded as occurring from fevers is deserving of special attention chiefly because of the widely believed theory that soil disturbance, even when the soil is practically of a purely mineral character is the, or rather one of the, principal factors in the causation of malarial fevers. During the year under review there has been a very great deal of soil disturbance more especially in Kau-lung, yet the deaths recorded from fevers have been less than usual.

                                                    It is no doubt true that the number of deaths caused by any particular disease is not a thoroughly reliable index to the number of cases of sickness that may have occurred but it is an index and the only one which we at present possess so far as the Chinese community is concerned. It is perfectly clear that some important factor in the causation of malignant malarial fevers has been during 1892 less powerful than usual and it is quite evident that that factor is not that a smaller quantity than usual of soil disturbance has taken place.

13. The death-rates for the year have been calculated from the figures obtained by the Census taken in May, 1891, plus an estimated increase to the population since then. This estimated increase to the population is based on the average annual increase which has been shown to have taken place between the years 1857 and 1891. It is somewhat doubtful if this rate of increase has been maintained during the past year, but in the absence of proof to the contrary it appears to me to be the only estimate of the population which can fairly be given.

14. In considering the death-rate the nature of the population should be remembered ie. it is not a normal population, but a population in which the male sex in the prime of life largely predominates.

518

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1893.

 15. The number of deaths registered as occurring from infantile convulsive diseases and marasmus is again more than a fourth of the total deaths registered during the year. A large 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. As remarked last year this relatively large infantile mortality indicates insanitary conditions in the surroundings, nursing or treatment of the infants in some form.

 16. The remarks made in my report for 1890 with 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. This is, in my opinion, to be regretted for it may, nay probably will, lead to the expenditure of a considerable sum of money in organizing hurriedly a temporary medical service to meet as far as possible the requirements of the Colony should it be visited by cholera or other virulent communicable disease and should such disease assume the proportions of an epidemic throughout the Colony. This is viewing the question from a financial stand-point. The more important points of obtaining fairly reliable information regarding the diseases which actually cause the deaths which occur and the affording the people we govern facilities for the rational treatment of the diseases from which they suffer are referred to in previous reports.

HEALTH DISTRICTS.

 17. Cemeteries.-The bye-laws for regulating the Cemeteries came into force on the 1st January, 1892. It was anticipated that the public Cemeteries for Chinese would have been laid out by then in the manner indicated by the bye-laws, but unfortunately this was not done and some inconvenience and expense has been the result. However, no hitch of importance has arisen and steps are now being taken to lay out these Cemeteries.

 18. The following are the number of burials which have taken place up to the 31st December, 1892, in each of the public Cemeteries for Chinese since they were placed under the charge of the Sanitary Department in February, 1892, viz. :--

Mount Davis Cemetery, Mount Caroline Cemetery, Kau-lung Cemetery, Shau Ki Wan Cemetery, Aberdeen Cemetery,

Stanley Cemetery,

Shek-O Cemetery,

547 burials

,,

1,483 burials

19. During the same period the fees collected amounted to $924.50 and the total expenditure in connection with the Cemeteries amounted to $1,896.70. Through the Cemeteries not being laid out the great majority of the burials have been made in the free section. It is too early to express a decided opinion as to the success of this new departure in the management of the Cemeteries, but that it is a move in the right direction appears to me to be beyond question and one which I feel sure commends itself to the Chinese Community.

20. Laundries.-The Board was informed in March that the first set of public laundries were nearly ready for occupation and steps were taken with a view to letting them. Six public washermen entered into occupation of six of the laundries on the 1st of June. One of the six

                        One of the six gave up his tenancy at once and two others at the end of the first month's occupation. The other three are still in occupation of a laundry each. Seven of the laundries are vacant and I am inclined to think they will remain vacant so long as public streams can be used free of charge for the business purposes of public washermen and while the ironing and dressing of clothing so washed is permitted in the bed-rooms of the washermen.

21. Bakeries. A special report on the sanitary condition of the bake-houses in Victoria was made in March. This report led to the making of bye-laws for regulating bake-houses. These bye-laws did not come into force during 1892.

 22. Common Lodging Houses.--The bye-laws for licensing and regulating these are in abeyance pending the fixing of a day by the Board on which they will come into force.

 23. Infectious Disease.-Seventy-one cases of small-pox were reported during the year, viz.:-9 cases from ships in the Harbour, 2 from the Eastern, 15 from the Central, 41 from the Western health districts of Victoria, 3 in Kaulung and 1 in the Hill district. In every case on shore the disinfection of the premises in which it occurred as well as of the bedding, clothing, etc. was carried out as far as practic- able under present conditions.

 24. Three cases of hydrophobia were reported all of which ended fatally. One of these cases was not seen by any qualified medical practitioner and although the death is recorded as having resulted from hydrophobia, I doubt very much if the person ever suffered from this disease.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1893.

25. One case of Choleraic Diarrhoea was reported and it ended fatally.

519

26. Two cases of Diphtheria were reported and both ended fatally. In one instance the disease appears to have been contracted in the Colony, in the other it is clear that it was contracted elsewhere as the person was found to be suffering from the disease on arrival here.

27. A native of Stanley was found to be suffering from leprosy and arrangements were made by which the leper was transferred to a so-called lepers home in the neighbourhood of Canton. The hut in which the leper lived was demolished and everything combustible was burned.

28. Contracts.-The following contracts expired or were about to expire in 1892, viz. :-

1. The City Conservancy Contract.

2. The City Scavenging Contract.

3. The City Animal Manure Contract.

4. The Kau-lung Scavenging Contract.

5. The Shau Ki Wan Scavenging Contract. 6. The Aberdeen Scavenging Contract.

7. The Stanley Scavenging Contract.

29. In each instance before tenders for these new Contracts were called for the specifications were carefully considered and amended as the experience gained during the past three years showed to be desirable.

In

30. The tenders accepted for the new Contracts are very much more advantageous than those accepted in 1889 and 1890. The sums to be received annually amount to $23,280 as against $19,740 received under the old Contracts i.e. an increase of $3,540 a year. The sums to be paid annually amount to $25,680 as against $29,820 under the old Contracts i.e. a decrease of $4,140 a year. addition to these Contracts there are also the Slaughter-house and Cattle-depot Contracts both of which were let for 1893 for $40,236 and $2,460 respectievly as against $37,464 and $2,400 respecti- vely for 1892, i.e. an increase to be received of $2,832. It will be observed that in letting these contracts, amounting in the aggregate to a money value of $91,656, there is a money gain of $10,512 a year compared with the sums received and paid under the old contracts. If the work to be done under these new contracts is performed in the same satisfactory manner that the work under the old contracts was done then the letting of these can only be viewed as being highly satisfactory.

STAFF.

31. The following changes, etc., took place during the year :-

  32. Surveyor.-Mr. J. R. CROOK, Civil Engineer, was appointed in February Sanitary Surveyor, vice Mr. F. A. COOPER who had been appointed Director of Public Works.

33. Senior Inspector of Nuisances.-Mr. J. R. GERMAIN, owing to ill-health, was granted four months vacation leave of absence and subsequently three and a half months leave of absence on half pay. During the absence of Mr. GERMAIN, the duties of Senior Inspector were performed by Mr. J. J. CLERIHEW.

34. Assistant Inspector of Markets.-Owing to the long and serious illness of Mr. GEO. RAE, the duties of this post were performed during the whole of the year by Mr. WM. FISHER who was appointed, permanently, Assistant Inspector of Markets when Mr. RAE was invalided as unfit for further service in October. Very soon after being invalided Mr. RAE died. He was an intelligent steady and trust- worthy official who had been in the service of the Colony for a little over twenty years.

35. Inspectors of Nuisances.-Police Constable HENRY SMITH acted for Mr. WM. FISHER in the eastern health district from January till October when he left the service having secured a more lucrative appointment in Hankow. Mr. GALBRAITH MOFFAT was appointed to the post rendered vacant by the transference of Mr. WM. FISHER to the markets. Police Constable R. PATTERSON acted for Mr. CLERIHEW in the western health district of Victoria for two and a half months.

36. Market Watchmen.-J. NORONHA absconded, MAHOMET ALLI and SEETHA RAM were dismissed. A. B. SOUZA and CHUNAM SHAH were appointed.

37. Market Scavengers.--One died, two resigned and one was dismissed. Four other men were appointed to the vacancies thus created.

CHAPTER 4.

An Act to provide, during twelve months, for the Discipline and Regulation

of the Army.

[29th April 1893.]

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

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

Parliament, is against law :

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

And whereas it is also judged necessary for the safety of the United Kingdom, and the defence of the possessions of this realm, that a body of Royal Marine forces should be 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:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1893.

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 :

A.D. 1893.

551

  And whereas the Army Act will expire in the year one thousand eight hundred 44 & 45 Vict. c. 58. and ninety-three on the following days :

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

the thirtieth day of April; and

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

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

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

thirty-first day of December :

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

and the day from which the Army Act is continued in any place by this Act is in relation to that place referred to in this Act as the commencement of this Act.

(2.) The Army Act, while in force, shall apply to persons subject to military law, whether within or without Her Majesty's dominions.

  (3.) A person subject to military law shall not be exempted from the provisions of the Army Act by reason only that the number of the forces for the time being in the service of Her Majesty, exclusive of the marine forces, is either greater or less than the number herein-before mentioned.

REPORTING ERECTION OF "BOKHARA" MONUMENT.

H.M.S."MERCURY,"

-

AMOY, 6th June, 1893.

SIR, I have the honour to inform you that in obedience to your orders, I have erected the monument, in memory of those who were drowned in the P. & O. S. S. Bokhara, on the southernmost, being the highest, point of the northern hummock of Sand Island, near the place where the ill-fated ship struck.

The Chintai at the Pescadores generously gave me the assistance of about 50 soldiers, and has promised to see that the monument is well cared for.

2. The graves, twenty-five in number, on Sand Island, are all well covered, and kept very neatly. 3. I hope I may not be thought presumptuous in suggesting that this further kindness of the Chintai in connection with the loss of the Bokhara may be brought to the notice of the Government at Pekin.

4. We commenced operations about 10 A.M. on the 2nd, and by 4 P.M. on the 3rd, the foundation was laid, the base of the monument suspended from sheers ready to be lowered into its place, as soon as the cement was set, and the monument placed alongside the sheers, ready slung. A working party, on the 5th, place the monument in position, and re-embarked all stores.

 5. Every thing was organized with great fore-thought by Lieutenant TUPPER, and he was ably assisted by Lieutenant DEWHIRST, R.N.R., who, as an old P. & O. Officer, I detailed for this duty. The Officers and men worked well in a very hot sun. I was much pleased with the manner in which Corporal BUCKINGHAM and the two sappers of the Royal Engineers performed their duty.

I have the honour to be,

Sir, Your obedient Servant,

(Signed)

W. H. FAWKES,

LONDON, S.W.,

19th April, 1893.

SIR,

  With reference to previous correspondence (M. 10358/90) I am directed by the Board of Trade to forward the accompanying copies (12) of Circular No. 422a-Revised February, 1893-in con- nection with the Order in Council dated the 9th May, 1891, relative to Colonial Certificates of Com- petency under the Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act, 1869.

  I am to state, for the information of the Marquess of Ripon, that the present issue is necessary from the fact that, in the previous edition of the Circular No. 422, on page 8, sub-section (c), line 7, the word "steam " had been inadvertently inserted before "ships.

""

..

  I am also to state, for his Lordship's information, that copies of the Circular will be sent to Officers in British Possessions abroad dealing with Merchant Shipping and Seamen.

The Under Secretary of State,

"Colonial Office.

I have, etc.,

(Signed) GEORGE J. SWANSTON.

The previous issue of this Circular, dated July 1891, is cancelled, and should be destroyed.

OFFICERS IN BRITISH POSSESSIONS ABROAD.

Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act, 1869.

The annexed Order in Council, dated the 9th day of May 1891, revokes all Orders previously issued relating to Colonial Certificates of Competency, and further amends and consolidates all the regulations now in force relating to their use, issue, delivery, cancellation, and suspension.

As the Colonial Certificates of Competency referred to in the said Order in Council are to have the same force as the similar Certificates granted by the Board of Trade in the United Kingdom, such

572

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH JUNE, 1893.

a Colonial Certificate must be accepted as occupying in every respect the place of one of the latter, and as entitling its bona fide holder to act in the capacity stated in it, or any inferior (but not a superior) capacity in any British ship, all over the world without the possession of a Board of Trade Certificate. Colonial Certificates will have to be used, produced, and delivered at the times and on the occasions at and on which Certificates of Competency granted by the Board of Trade would have to be used, produced, and delivered.

When it appears from a Certificate officially produced to the Officer that its owner possesses other Certificates, their production also should be required, and if they are not produced their owner's explanation in writing should be demanded and forwarded to the Registrar-General of Seamen with the least possible delay.

Officers in British Possessions abroad are empowered by Regulation 10 attached to the Order in Council to demand, and if necessary detain, any such Colonial Certificate which they have reason to believe has been improperly issued, or has been forged, altered, cancelled, suspended, or to which the person using it is not justly entitled.

Whenever this power is exercised a report of the facts and circumstances must be sent by the Officer, with the least possible delay, to either the Board of Trade or the Government of the Possession in which the Certificate was originally granted or may purport to have been granted, accordingly as communication may be easier and quicker.

As the withdrawal of a Certificate would in some cases entail inconvenience, not only upon its possessor but also upon the owners of the ship and cargo, it is scarcely necessary to caution Officers that the exercise of this power should only be resorted to when the evidence is perfectly clear; and if the ship is bound to the United Kingdom, and the report above mentioned has been sent to the Government of the Possession by which the Certificate was originally granted, the Board of Trade should nevertheless be informed of the facts.

Every case of death of a Colonial Certificate-holder which may come to the Officer's knowledge should be reported without delay to the Government of the Possession by which the Certificate was granted.

The attention of Officers and Functionaries in British Possessions abroad engaged in the conduct of Official Inquiries in wreck and discipline cases is directed to the fact that the Certificates to which the Order in Council applies will be liable to cancellation and suspension in precisely the same way as Certificates granted by the Board of Trade under the Merchant Shipping Acts, and by the same Boards, Courts, and Tribunals. The provisions of "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," and "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," as to Courts of Inquiry will therefore be applicable to the Colonial Certificates in question, with the exception of the provisions specified in the Order in Council.

Attention is further directed to the provision inserted in Regulation 7 attached to the Order in Council, under which the Governor or person administering the Government of the British Possession in which a Certificate has been cancelled or suspended is, in certain circumstances, empowered to return Certificates cancelled or suspended by an official Court of Inquiry, or to shorten the time for which they are suspended, or to issue other Certificates in their place.

It will be noticed that Regulation 9 attached to the Order in Council provides that the cancellation or suspension of a Certificate shall involve cancellation or suspension of all the other Certificates (if any) possessed by its owner. With the view of carrying this Regulation strictly into effect, it will be desirable that the Court should endeavour to ascertain and should specify in their decision the particulars of all the Certificates possessed by any person whose conduct is the subject of an investi- gation by them.

In cases of cancellation or suspension of such Colonial Certificates, copies of the report of the Court and of the evidence, together with the respective Certificates, should be sent to the Governments of the British Possessions by whom the several Certificates possessed by the offender were originally granted. A full report upon the case and the Evidence should, at the same time, be sent to the Board of Trade, as required by the Act, and the sentence giving the number of each Certificate dealt with and the Possession in which it was granted, should be mentioned in it.

When a Certificate has been cancelled or suspended in a British Possession, and the Governor of that Possession does not see fit to interfere with the decision of the Court, the officer whose certificate has been so dealt with, if he wishes to appeal, should be referred to the Government of the British Possession which granted the Certificate, and not to the Board of Trade.

These instructions must be understood as having reference only to the Certificate referred to in the said Order in Council.

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

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

Declaration

by a foreigner,

False declaration.

And whereas doubts have arisen whether or not the said enactment extends to and is in force in the Colony and whether or not the said practice is legal and it is expedient to remove such doubts, and to make further provision re- garding Statutory Declarations.

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 as The Statutory Declarations Ordinance, 1893.

2. The said Act shall be deemed to be and to have been in force in this Colony from the date when the Colony obtained a local legislature, that is to say, on the 5th day of April, 1843.

3. A declaration made after the passing of this Ordinance in Form 1 or Form 2 (as the case may be) in the Schedule to this Ordinance shall be deemed to be a statutory declara- tion made by virtue of the provisions of the said Act and shall be sufficient for all purposes.

4. Where the declarant is unacquainted with the English language the declaration shall be in Form 2 in the Schedule hereto, the interpreter having been first declared as in Form 3 in the Schedule hereto, or sworn to the like effect.

5. Any person who shall wilfully and corruptly make and subscribe any statutory declaration knowing the same to be untrue in any material particular shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour although such declaration is not made in a judicial proceeding.

* Or as the case may be.

You do solemnly and sincerely declare ? that you well understand the English and Chinese (or as the case may be) languages and that you have truly, distinctly and audibly interpreted the contents of this document to the declarant

and that you will truly and faithfully interpret the declaration about to be administered unto him.

Objects and Reasons.

The facts stated in the Recital and the necessity of providing some uniformity of practice in the forms used for Statutory Declarations in this Colony render a Bill of this sort most desirable. In Hongkong many Statutory Decla- rations are made by persons who do not understand the English language, and, at present, the proper form of De- claration is in such cases often omitted. The Bill provides Forms to which reference can in future be easily made.

The following Report of the Colonial Surgeon for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 19th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th June, 1893.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 9th May, 1893.

SIR, I have the honour to forward my annual Report for the year 1892, of the work done in the different Establishments under my supervision together with the reports of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Medical Officer in charge of the Gaol and the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

The admissions to Hospital show a decrease of 74, being 496 as compared with 570 in 1891. The deaths were 7, the same as the two previous years. Three died in Hospital, one European and two Indians, the cause of death in all three of these cases was Phthisis. One Indian and two Chinese died while away on leave, and one Chinese was found drowned, his boat was on the praya, but how he got into the water, there was no evidence to show.

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

Chinese.

From this it will be seen that there is a decided decrease in sickness amongst the Europeans, 17 admissions less than in 1891, and the rate of sickness amongst this portion of the Force is even better than is shown in this table as there were 11 more Europeans in the Police Force than in 1891, the number being 128 as compared with 117.

The Indian portion of the Force shows a still greater improvement, showing a decrease of 41 admissions, with only a decrease of 1 on the strength, 227 in 1891, and 226 in 1892.

The Chinese show an increase of 2 admissions with a decrease of 8 on the strength, being 350 in 1891, and 342 in 1892, but their average rate of sickness shows a very great decrease as compared with former years.

Table I shows the sickness and mortality in the Force for the different months of the year. Table II gives the average strength rate of sickness and mortality.

Table III shows the admissions to Hospital from the different stations and districts in each month of the year.

Aberdeen and Pokfulum for the first five months only sent in one case, but from June to November were as bad as ever, in spite of the improvements. Stonecutters' Island and No. 1 Station at Jardine's Gates are the sanitariums at present. No cases have come in from them for two years.

  The Peak Stations, Gap and Mountain Lodge, don't seem to agree with either Europeans or Indians, the Chinese got off much better than in 1891.

TROOPS.

There was a very great increase in the number of Troops in the Colony last year, 42 added to the White troops, and 764 to the Black troops, due chiefly to the arrival of the new Hongkong Regiment. There was a good deal of sickness amongst this Regiment during their first summer, but they have greatly improved and now for a long time have suffered very little from climatic causes. The Europeans still suffer very much and the average of sickness and deaths among them increase year by

year.

Table IV gives the average strength, sickness and mortality amongst White and Black Troops. The accommodation for the troops has not increased in proportion to their numbers. The barracks are mostly old, and the additional accommodation seems to consist of Chinese houses that have been renovated an improved in the lower levels; though many additional out-stations have been added and a Sanitarium at the Peak. The new Regiment are in a camp composed of matsheds at Kowloon. The following table gives the sickness and mortality among the troops for the past ten years :-

1883,

1884,

The addition of 812 unacclimatized troops have to be considered and I think there will be a considerable improvement in 1893. The average strength for 1891 was 1,552 men, for 1892, 2,370.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

 The Superintendent in his report brings to notice some deficiencies in the Hospital accommodation which I hope will in part be remedied during the present year. I would greatly prefer to have had an entirely new Hospital as was at first intended, but in the old days those who knew the requirements of the peculiar climate of Hongkong were not allowed any voice in the matter, a plan for a new Hospital was sent out from Home at a cost of $250,000. The plan of the Hospital was quite unsuit- able for our sickliest season, the summer months, and the cost beyond our means. We were, therefore, obliged to meet the emergency as best we could. My predecessors had been fighting for a new Hospital for five years before I came and had not Providence helped by blowing down the old Hospital and burning down its substitute, we might have still been in a great deal worse condition than we are

now.

 The accommodation in the old building used for a Hospital was not equal to that of the wing now used for Fever and Venereal cases.. The admissions were about half the number and the deaths considerably more.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH JUNE, 1893.

593

The nursing staff has been all that could be desired with the exception of the Junior Wardmasters, with whom we have had the usual trouble and are still seeking a remedy.

Mr. LUCAS, the Apothecary, had given notice of his wish to retire on the expiration of his three years' engagement to my great regret as he was a very superior Officer, and during the illness and absence on leave of Mr. CROW, the Government Analyst, did his duties most satisfactorily; but as he leaves for a better appointment at Home, he is to be congratulated and will, I am sure, give the same satisfaction to his new employers as he has done during his whole term of service here.

The Superintendent's report is a most exhaustive one and I agree entirely with all he has said. His work has very much increased with the absence of Dr. LowSON on duty at the Hygeia, the new Small-pox Hospital Hulk, stationed on the other side of the Barbour. The latter Officer's marvellous escape from the wreck of the Bokhara was a great source of congratulation to us, and the more so that he escaped with but trifling injuries and was soon able to resume his duty. He has done good work on the Hygeia and has had a considerable amount of trouble in organizing the arrangements for the patients and staff of the new Hulk, a duty he has performed most satisfactorily and successfully.

The past year was notable, as far as the Hospital was concerned, for the great diminution in the severer types of climatic disease.

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

1883. 1884. 1885. 1886. 1887. 1888. 1889. 1800. 1891. 1892.

This table is most satisfactory in showing a decrease of sickness amongst the Police and Govern- ment servants also a small dimination of Police cases.

  The percentage of deaths to admissions is the lowest with one exception in the past ten years, 3.96. See Table VI. Of the 68 deaths, 27 were in a hopeless condition when admitted, 23 dying within 24 hours, and 4 within 48 hours.

The Superintendent's exhaustive report and appendix shows no diminution in the interest and energy expended in the performance of his duties which were more than usually heavy this year as Dr. Lowson, the Assistant Superintendent, was away on leave for a considerable portion of the

summer months.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL AND HULK HYGEIA.

There were thirteen cases of Small-pox treated, six in Small-pox Hospital, and seven on the Three Coloured cases, Hygeia, of these two died. Seven cases were Europeans, of whom one died. no deaths. Three Asiatics, one death. See Table VII.

PUBLIC MORTUARY.

Table VIII gives the returns of dead bodies sent to the Mortuary for examination. The total number was 131, of these 54 were found to be caused by disease, 51 Accidental, 19 Suicidal, and 7 Homicidal deaths.

There is a decrease in the admissions to Gaol of 185 as compared with 1891, but an increase in the daily average number of prisoners in Gaol of 8. The great increase in the admissions to Gaol on the past two years is due to the Gambling Ordinance entirely. That is to say that an increase of about 1,700 prisoners for a week or fourteen days each, 80 per cent. of whom gamble to the extent of 10 cash at a time, (less than a third part of a penny), $1-2/9 or 1,030 cash, compared with whom boys at home tossing for half pence in the gutters are opulent gamblers. Most of them are miserable wretches and have added largely to the increase of patients in the Gaol Hospital and out-patients in the cells, getting no work or very little to do, medical treatment and extra diet. In any case less work and better food than they get outside for the great majority of these prisoners.

Even with this great increase of sickness compared with former years, 1,035 cases treated in and out of Hospital there were only six deaths. One of these was an Opium smoker, death caused by rupture of a duodenal ulcer and peritonitis setting in, this death can hardly be put down to the Opium habit.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

 The European Lunatic Asylum was unusually full this year. Sixteen cases were received and one death occurred. Four coloured lunatics were admitted, no deaths occurred.

In the Chinese Asylum, thirty-one cases were admitted and three deaths occurred.

TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.

 The number of cases admitted to the Hospital during the year was 2,455. Of these 1,365 were discharged, 1,090 died; among these deaths were 353 received in a moribund condition and dying within 24 hours. 112 remained in Hospital at the end of the year.

 In the Small-pox Wards there were 50 cases admitted, 12 were discharged, 38 died, the majority of these deaths were young children.

 2,227 Vaccinations were performed. Of these 230 were done in the out-stations by the visiting vaccinators of the Hospital. Calf lymph from the Vaccine Institute was supplied to this Hospital by my Department.

+

VACCINE INSTITUTE.

 This was first opened in the spring to supply Calf Lymph for the use of the new troops that arrived for the Hongkong Regiment. During the summer, Mr. LADDS, who was appointed Super- intendent of the Institute, conducted a series of experiments and the real work began in October. I cannot report satisfactorily till next year as real work only began in the last three months of 1892. The calf lymph supplied is good and I calculate the expenses should be $50 a month when it is in full working order and its earning power be at least $150 a month, as there has been a great demand from the local Dispensaries and also from the Coast Ports.

 Mr. LADDS has been appointed Superintendent, but his time is fully occupied by his duties as Veterinary Surgeon to the Sanitary Board and he has to do the most part of this work in his leisure hours often after dark; and as the Institute ought to be a very paying business, I do not think he should be called upon to do this work gratuitously as at present. It is work that was never contem- plated in his original appointment and his own particular duties have increased very much since he was originally appointed.

 Moreover, the work is not in his own Department under the Sanitary Board, but he is called upon to do work in my Department gratuitously as we have no one capable of doing this work able to give sufficient time to it.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24?? JUNE, 1893.

LOCK HOSPITAL.

595

This name is a misnomer now, it had better be altered to Women's Hospital for Venereal Disease.

There is no Lock now, the patients that can leave their beds during the day go out to visit their friends, those who come into Hospital and are confined to their beds receive visits from their friends. None of them are compelled to stay in Hospital against their will.

Under the Lock system when the Contagious Diseases Ordinance was enforced the women of the different houses were notified by the Inspectors to attend at the Hospital on certain dates and the Inspector and his Interpreter were there to see that they did attend. Now, they attend when they please receiving no notification. No Police are allowed at the Hospital. The Matron keeps the record of those that attend and the women are all well aware that there is no compulsion in the matter.

Last year, 314 women attended Hospital as compared with 276 in 1891. 12,215 examinations were made. 57 women were admitted to Hospital. There is an increase in the number of women who came to Hospital this year, 38 more than last year, a decrease in the number of examinations made of 498 as compared with 1891. There were 12,215 voluntary submissions to examination. If these 314 women had been under compulsory examination, the lowest total of examinations made would have been 16,330 probably over 18,000 and we should have had considerably more than 100 patients in Hospital.

Many of the women are half-casts and speak English well. I can always find fluent interpreters among them when wanted, all of them can speak Pidgin-English more or less well, some of them speak several Continental languages.

Amongst the Military though there is an increase in the number of venereal cases generally, the number that contracted constitutional disease was 58 as compared with 82 in 1891.

In the Police there was a decrease of general venereal disease and of the constitutional form 3 cases as compared with 5 in 1891.

In the Government Civil Hospital, the number of venereal cases show a small decrease, the number of cases of constitutional disease was 15 as compared with 12 in 1891.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

The percentage of deaths among the Foreign Residents is slightly higher this year being 1.79 as compared with 1.36 in 1891, but is very much lower than any of the previous years. See Table XVI. A glance at the two following tables for the European and Chinese communities shows a great improvement every year owing to improved sanitation of the Colony.

Enclosure 1.

Report of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

617

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 18th March, 1893.

  SIR,-I have the honour to forward you my annual Report for the year 1892 with the Hospital Statistics.

I-THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

year.

1. No alterations of any importance have been made to the existing buildings during the past

  2. The office store and laundry accommodation as well as that for private paying patients mentioned in my last annual Report still remain necessary additions to this Institution if it is in the future to meet the public requirements of the Colony.

  3. At no distant date it will, in my opinion, be necessary to provide further accommodation for female patients, and also increased facilities for the carrying out of surgical operations; they should, instead of being conducted as at present in the Wards, be performed in a separate semi-detached building as is the case in most well-conducted Hospitals.

  4. The foregoing considerations, together with the continued increase of Chinese dwellings accom- panied by the night noises of the natives referred to in my last annual Report, seem to point to the advisability of reserving a new site in the vicinity of the Hospital Staff Quarters and Lunatic Asylums for the future construction of an entirely new Hospital, furnishing the increased accommodation required, and arranged in accordance with the best modern practice.

IL-LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

  5. In accordance with instructions contained in C. S. Letter 1,505 of 1891, the European and Chinese Lunatic Asylums have been under my charge during the past year.

  6. The European Lunatic Asylum provides accommodation for 9 cases with adequate day room accommodation which in cases of emergency can be utilised for the treatment of patients not requiring separate accommodation.

There are also quarters for one European Wardmaster.

  The building is provided with bath-rooms, kitchens, store accommodation, and the necessary out- buildings.

  7. The Chinese Lunatic Asylum, situated in premises adjoining those of the European Lunatic Asylum, includes quarters for a European Wardmaster, a Chinese Interpreter and attendant, one Chinese amah, in addition to accommodation for isolating sixteen separate patients, and as in the case of the European Lunatic Asylum should necessity arise further accommodation in the day room can be temporarily arranged.

  8. The want of sufficient room and privacy is much felt for the satisfactory treatment of such class of patients.

III.-SMALL-POX HOSPITAL AND HYGEIA.

9. The temporary Small-pox buildings have been maintained and occupied by six patients.

  10. The hospital ship Hygeia, moored off the north of Stonecutters' Island, has been called into requisition for the treatment of seven small-pox cases during the past year.

  Of these three arrived by H.M.S. Orontes during the month of January, one by the S.S. Verona during the month of February, another during the same month from S.S. Teviot, one in October froin the S.S. Tartar and one from the S.S. Flintshire during the month of December.

11. As this ship now forms a portion of the Hospital accommodation of the Colony the following short description of the arrangements on board will, doubtless, be, of general interest.

  12. The hospital ship Hygeia is 185 feet in length, 30 feet in breadth at water line, and has a draft of 8 feet, it consits of two Decks: the Upper and the Lower or Main Deck.

Water Tank Room,

Store Rooms,

:

 The Lower or Main Deck contains accommodations for 32 patients, quarters for two Native attendants and the Water Tank Room.

13. From the attached plan it will be seen that the accommodation is as follows:-

Private patients 12 beds.

Third class patients 56 beds.

Ventilation is very good throughout the ship during the winter months.

 In the summer season if it is necessary to occupy the Lower Deck for cholera patients large square ports will have to be substituted for the present small round port holes.

 On emergency over 110 patients could be accommodated, giving each 600 cubic feet on the Upper Deck and 900 cubit feet on the Lower Deck, which with the satisfactory ventilation is liberal.

14. It will be noticed that the ship is unprovided with a disinfector and suitable store accom- modation, both of which are very necessary adjuncts to a hospital ship for the treatment of infectious diseases.

15. The distance of her moorings from the City has proved to be a source of considerable inconvenience.

IV.-ADDITIONAL OFFICERS' QUARTERS.

 16. This building was completed and occupied in June 1892, and the advantages, which I anticipated in my last annual Report would be derived from this important addition to the Hospital premises, have been fully realised.

 17. On the completion of this building that temporarily occupied by the Officers reverted to the use of the Colonial Surgeon.

V. HOSPITAL PREMISES.

 18. These have been maintained in as satisfactory condition as the funds available will permit; no alterations have been made.

* This, of course, does not include the large air space above the private wards and Dispensary, passages, &c.

? Including sliding shutters above private wards. In addition to all there is an open space of 4 inches between the side and roof of

VI. HOSPITAL AND NURSING STAFF.

619

  19. Mr. ROBERT WHITE, Junior Wardmaster, dismissed on 13th March, was succeeded by Mr. SAMUEL PEPPER who was seconded to this Departinent for six months from the Police. (C.S.O. No. 512/92.)

  Miss M. A. THOMPSON (Sister MARY) resigned on the 25th March, and was succeeded by Miss G. BROOKES (Sister ANNIE). (C.S.O. No. 772/92.)

Mr. ROGERS, Steward, mentioned in my last Report as being on leave, resigned on 31st March on pension, after 12 years' service, and was succeeded by Mr. CHAPMAN.

Mrs. SIMMONS, Nurse to the European Lunatic Asylum, resigned on the 18th April on pension, after 17 years' service, and was succeeded by Miss WALKER (Sister CAROLINE). (C.S.O. No. 772/92.)

Miss MACKINTOSH (Sister CATHERINE) was away on leave from 7th May to 18th June.

  I have much pleasure in recording that in August this Sister passed the second Government Examination in the Cantonese dialect with great credit.

  Dr. Lowson was away on leave from July 7th to September 9th, and again from 26th September to October 19th. It is with much thankfulness that I record his marvellous escape from the sad disaster of the wreck of the P. & O. S.S. Bokhara.

  It is my agreeable duty to record my appreciation of the able assistance afforded me by the several members of the Hospital Staff and of their attentiveness to the work of the Institution.

   22. The number of in-patients during the year was 1,715, a decrease of 152 as compared with that of the previous year.

          The total number of deaths was 68, of these 27 were in a moribund condition when admitted, 23 dying within 24 hours, and 4 within 48 hours of their admission.

23. The average daily number in the Hospital was 78.8, and the percentage of deaths to total treated 3.96, as against 4.49 in 1891.

 26. Of the 68 deaths 8 were from Phthisis, 4 from Liver Abscess, 4 from Heart Disease, 3 from Dysentery, 3 from Bright's Disease, 14 from Injuries (9 of these being from Fracture of the Skull) and the rest singly from other diseases.

 27. POLICE.-The total number under treatment was 74 less than in the previous year. With regard to the different nationalities there was a decrease of 15 amongst the European members of the Force, a decrease of 61 amongst the Indians and an increase of 2 amongst the Chinese.

 There were 3 deaths during the year: one European dying of Phthisis, one Indian of Tubercular Peritonitis and another Indian of Acute Tuberculosis.

 This is the smallest number of deaths amongst the Police Force for years, and it is to be noted that there were no deaths from diseases incident to the Colony.

 Aberdeen, notwithstanding its new Police Station, sends in more Police suffering from Malarial Fevers than any other station.

28. INFLUENZA.-There were 21 cases under treatment during the year.

29. TYPHOID FEVER.-There were 4 cases under treatment during the year, all of which recovered. Two of the cases occurred in the Colony, one being admitted from Kowloon and the other from Elgin Street. In the third case the disease was contracted in Canton and in the fourth somewhere in Japan.

30. CHOLERA.-There were two cases under treatment during the year with one death.

 A European sailor was admitted on 28th June, at 9.50 a.m.; he stated that diarrhoea and vomiting had commenced at 11 p.m. the previous night and had continued up to the time of admission. He was then in a state of semi-collapse, temperature 97° F. and complaining very much of cramp in his legs. Shortly after admission he passed a typical rice-water stool, under treatment he rallied and was discharged cured on 5th August.

 The fatal case was that of a destitute Chinaman admitted at 8.55 p.m. on 23rd August, with incessant diarrhoea and vomiting; he rallied that evening but had a relapse the next day and died at 6.10 p.m. on the 24th August.

These were evidently cases of Choleraic Diarrhea (Sporadic Cholera).

 31. DYSENTERY.-There were 40 cases under treatment with 3 deaths, one of these occurring from the severe form of dysentery "Gangrenous Colitis," as proved by the post mortem examination.

 32. MALARIAL FEVERS.-The total number of cases under treatment was 286, as compared with 339 in 1891. Of these cases 246 were of the Intermittent and 40 of the Remittent type. There were no deaths during the year. This disease was neither so prevalent nor so fatal as in previous years.

I have no doubt that this is to a great extent due to the improved sanitary condition of the Colony, and when the new drainage system is completed we may expect a still further diminution in this class of diseases.

 There were two cases of Hyperpyrexia occurring in the course of Remittent Fever, in one case the temperature reached 108° F. and in the other 106°.8 F.; they both recovered.

33. BERI-BERI.-There were seven cases under treatment, all of whom recovered; they were all of the dry variety (Beriberia atrophia).

34. VENEREAL DISEASES.-232 patients were under treatment during the year as against 230 in 1891; there is a distinct diminution in the number of cases of Primary and Secondary Syphilis, the numbers being 46 as against 94 in 1891.

 There were 136 cases of Gonorrhoea, including Chancres Molles, admitted as against 109 in the previous year. Many of these cases developed peculiarily indolent buboes; in our experience the best treatment for these cases is excision of the affected glands or when this is not possible, as is frequently the case owing to the glands having already broken down, to enucleate or scrape away as much of the diseased tissue as possible.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH JUNE, 1893.

621

  It is a good practice to anesthetise the patient as unless this removal of the diseased gland tissue is done systematically and thoroughly the parts which are left will be very slow to subside and may cause considerable trouble by burrowing under the surrounding healthy skin. The attempt to procure absorption by the application of pressure has been found quite useless.

  35. HYDROPHOBIA.--One case of Hydrophobia was admitted during the year, the patient was a schoolboy from the Diocesan Home who was bitten by a stray dog on 27th February; he was brought to the Hospital on the same day, treated for the dog bites and discharged cured on 12th March. He was re-admitted on the 4th April, complaining of neuralgic pains in the region of the bites. On the 6th instant further well-marked symptoms of Hydrophobia developed and he died of this disease on the 7th instant.

  36. INJURIES.-190 are returned under this heading. The most important point to note is the increase in the number of dog bites, no less than twelve patients were admitted from this cause during the

year. Undoubtedly this is due to the large number of stray dogs that are allowed to run loose in the Colony.

  In addition to the case of Hydrophobia noted above I am informed that three deaths from this disease have occurred at the Alice Memorial Hospital, and one at Quarry Bay, during the past year.

  Two patients (Chinese) were admitted on 13th July who were seriously injured in the Peak Tramway accident.

  They had both sustained very severe injuries to their legs. In one case the limb was so smashed that amputation had to be performed, in the other case there was a compound fracture of the Tibia and Tibula, after removing part of the Tibia the bones were set and ultimately the patient recovered with free use of the affected leg.

The first case made a good recovery and was discharged with a wooden leg.

  37. SURGICAL OPERATIONS.-The total number of operations performed during the year was 136 with 10 deaths as against 142 with 12 deaths in the previous year.

AMPUTATIONS.-In the fatal case the patient, a Chinaman, was severely injured in a machinery accident at East Point Refinery, the thigh was practically amputated before the patient was admitted, he never recovered from the shock but died a few hours after admission.

Notes of some of the more interesting operations are given in the Appendix.

  HEPATIC ABSCESS.I regret to have to record the death of Surgeon-Captain SMYTHE of the Army Medical Staff from this disease.

  Two other cases of Liver Abscess were operated on during the year and died, in both cases post mortem examination revealed the presence of numerous abscesses, in one case there was a distinct history of dysentery.

FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS.-In addition to those operated on (in List of Operations) the following fractures and dislocations were treated :---

 42. LUNATIC ASYLUMS.-There were 51 cases under treatment during the year with 4 deaths. The nationality of these cases is given in Table VIIb.

43. POST MORTEM EXAMINATIONS.-35 were performed during the year.

44. In an Appendix are the notes of some cases of medical and surgical interest.

 45. The fees received from the patients in the Government Civil Hospital during the year amounted to $12,269.10; of this the Board of Trade paid $3.100 92, and the police $883 75.

                                                    Those received from the Lunatic Asylums amounted to $1,017.92 and those from the Small-pox patients $338.66 giving a total of $13,625.68.

Before concluding 1 wish to thank the Naval and Military Surgeons who are, and have been, on this Station, and the Civil Doctors for their valuable assistance, frequently rendered, especially at operations.

 GIFTS OF FLOWERS, NEWSPAPERS, &C.-The patients have been much indebted to several ladies of the Colony for frequent gifts of flowers, newspapers, &c.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

GUN-SHOT WOUNDS.

 The gun-shot wounds during the year were various. The most interesting case was that of the Chinese boy, age 13, who was shot at Kowloon during the manoeuvring of a squad of blue-jackets from H.M.S. Imperieuse. The boy was running about in front of the squad probably seeing how close to the rifles he could go when he was observed to full. Surgeon HUGHES, R.N., was close by and found him suffering from a wound in the left groin from which there was considerable haemorrhage. He at once applied a firm pad to the wound and brought him to Hospital about 12 a.m. Dr. ATKINSON found him suffering from a wound in the groin just below Poupart's ligament, about the size of a shilling, over the course of the femoral artery which had been shot through. He was blanched from the serious haemorrhage. The two ends of the artery were tied, no bullet could be found at the time of operation. When I saw him late in the afternoon he had rallied to some extent and could tell his name. About 7 p.m., however, he again became unconscious and although transfusion was attempted, he rapidly sank and died. At the post mortem examination it was found that about an inch of the femoral artery had been shot away. The wound passed down through the muscles on the inside of the neck of the femur and there ended blankly, no bullet or any other foreign body being found. There was very little charring about the wound, which would point to the rifle being some distance off when fired. The suggestion that possibly a stone had been either put in the rifle or knocked up off the ground and then hit the boy was negatived by the fact that really nothing was found in the wound.

 The boy's clothing was carefully examined and there were simply the small round holes in his garments corresponding to the place of the wound no charring or burning about them. The same afternoon Fleet Surgeon MAHON and Lieut. HALL and self made various experiments with blank cartridge and found that, if the muzzle of the rifle was held within a couple of inches of the clothing simply a hole was made without any charring. At a distance of about six inches a considerable and scattered charring took place. On shooting into a turnip at a distance of one to three inches a condition of affairs was found closely simulating the wound in the boy ending blankly at about a

623

distance of three inches or so in the turnip. Taking all-together the conclusion I came to was that the rifle had been held quite close to or practically touching the boy's clothes and the absence of charring was due to the above fact and probably also to the copious hemorrhage which took place immediately. If the rifle had been further away there would have been charring and greater laceration in the clothing and also a larger, more superficial wound in the boy's groin.

  Another case of a boy shot at Kowloon came in early in the year. He was one of the crowd of boys who hover round the targets hunting for lead. Whether the boy was hit direct or by a deflected bullet is not known, but he was admitted to Hospital with a wound over the great trochanter of the left femur. The upper third of the bone was found to be smashed into three large pieces and several smaller ones.

       The smaller pieces were removed and a drainage tube was inserted. The bullet could not be found in spite of careful search, although a track existed running down between the gluteal muscles. The boy's condition otherwise than the local injury was satisfactory. During the following week in spite of antiseptic precautions the wound got dirty with copious suppuration and it was resolved to cut down on the joint and, if thought necessary, excise it. This was done and after it he recovered without a bad symptom. The bullet was again looked for during the second operation but could not be found. However, a fortnight later a hard swelling formed in the buttock and on cutting into this the bullet was found-evidently a Martini-Henry bullet considerably flattened. The boy was discharged with only 24 inches shortening; a very good result seeing that practically the upper third of the femur had been removed.

  A third interesting case was that of P. C. GODFREY who went out to hunt the "Tytam tiger." While scrambling through the bush his carbine went off and the bullet entered his right arm in front of the wrist and emerged two inches below the elbow on the extensor surface of the forearm, smashing about 2 inches of the radius on its way. The shattered piece of radius was removed in about thirty-five pieces and a drainage tube put along the track of the wound. As is frequently the case in gunshot wounds there was a considerable amount of inflammation afterwards, but thanks to the patient's pluck the arm has been saved and is improving day by day. The flexor tendons are adherent to the anterior cicatrix but it is possible that by an operation to try and free them he may yet have a very useful hand and arm.

A CASE OF SEVERE INJURIES.

  Severe injuries to a Chinaman had a peculiar causation. He was working on the Praya and fell a distance of about 16 feet landing on his face on the edge of an iron tank. When brought to Hospital at 3 p.m. he was a horrid sight-his lower jaw bone being smashed to pieces and the lower half of his face was lying on his chest. Almost all the blood vessels in the neck were divided except the carotids. Some projecting substance had passed through the neck and caused a wound at the back of the neck about an inch from the middle line at the level of the second and third cervical vertebra. All visible torn vessels were tied and the large face wound closed up, several drainage tubes being left in the wounds. There was some more haemorrhage (after he had rallied slightly) which soaked the dressing. A fresh dressing was applied and, as his pulse had improved, it was resolved to tie the left common carotid should it continue. This was not necessary however. Owing to the lower jaw having disappeared with the exception of part of the two rami, it was necessary to keep the tongue pulled well forward. The following morning at 6.30 a.m. as I found him seriously collapsed I transfused him, injecting nineteen ounces of neutral saline solution. His condition improved wonderfully but he again sank two hours later. He was again transfused at 10 a.m.. twelve ounces of fluid being injected and he again improved. At noon as his breathing was very laboured tracheotomy was performed by Dr. ATKINSON but he never rallied again and died at 2.30 p.m. A post mortem examination was not allowed. Query.-Had he a fractured skull or severe abdominal injury as well? It was naturally difficult to get any information from him, but he complained of pain in the abdomen. The collapse, of course, might have been due solely to the haemorrhage from the wound; but the marvellous way in which he rallied after transfusion and the rapid sinking pointed to some further loss of blood. Improvement after transfusion, I am aware, is often transitory but although the injuries and external hemorrhage in this case were severe they were scarcely sufficient to account for death in such a strong and otherwise healthy man.

TRACHEOTOMIES.

  The European death was from diphtheria, the first case recorded in the Hospital for years. The patient was sent in on 3rd July, at 3 p.m., by Dr. BELL. He had well-marked diphtheritic exudation on his tonsils and pharynx. As far as I can make out he must have been infected in Singapore. At 10.30 p.m. he was much worse with symptom of asphyxiation. Tracheotomy was quickly performed, but although he improved somewhat after it he died about 2 a.mn. following morning. Post mortem diphtheritic membrane was found to extend half way down the trachea whilst the inflammation extended down to the bronchi. Another of the cases where this operation was necessary the patient had tried an original method of suicide. He had first cut through the superficial structures with a razor and then he systematically proceeded to stab his trachea with a pair of scissors. When admitted there had evidently been a considerable amount of hemorrhage as coarse rales could be heard all over

624

both lungs. One of the thrusts had pierced the cricothyroid membrane and after dissecting down, this opening was enlarged downwards and a tube inserted. He died of pneumonia four days after- wards. The other death after tracheotomy was in the case of a Malay suffering from Bright's Disease where the operation was performed for relief in a case of a gangrenous cervical cellulitis the man dying of septicemia three days afterwards. The other cases of tracheotomy were performed for suicidal cut-throat; these recovered.

LOOSE CARTILAGE IN KNEE-JOINT.

The loose cartilage in knee mentioned in the list of operations was cut down upon and removed by Dr. ATKINSON. It was oval in shape the long diameter being about two inches and the short diameter one inch. The wound healed by first intention, result perfect.

EMPY EMA.

The case of empyema mentioned in the operation list did exceedingly well after operation, his weight at time of operation being 113 lbs. and three months later when he left for Australia his weight was 124 lbs. While in Australia he developed Phthisis and again came back to Hospital here and died in the early part of this year (1893).

BUBOES.

In several of the operations on buboes severe hemorrhage was met with from enlarged branches of superficial circumflex iliac and superficial epigastric arteries. It is of little use trying to stop this until one has thoroughly removed out the diseased gland then the artery can be seized and securely tied.

TETANY.

JAS. A. LOWSON.

An Indian boy, aged 16 years, was admitted on the 16th November from the P. & O. S.S. Formosa. He stated that ten days before admission he was suddenly attacked with stiffness in the arms, this soon extended to the muscles of the chest and neck so much so that his chin was drawn down towards his chest; after lasting for a few hours this would pass off only however to return again, at the onset before the spasms set in there was distinct pain in the muscles affected.

On admission there was well-marked rigidity of the muscles of both upper and lower extremities, in the upper extremity there was extension of the phalanges on the metacarpal bones, flexion of the wrist and elbow, and adduction of the arm, in the lower extremity the rigidity was most marked in the extensor muscles of the thigh, so that he walked as if his knees were stiff, the sterno-cleido- mastoids were both firmly contracted, approximating the chin to the chest, the masseters were so firmly contracted that it was with great difficulty that his mouth could be opened and the muscles of the back stood out like firm boards.

His temperature on admission was 100° F., after this it never rose above 99° F.

 This spasm did not come on in paroxysms but was continuous, a tonic rigidity of the affected muscles lasting for some hours and only passing off during sound sleep. I could find out no cause for this condition.

He was given first of all chloral and bromide, five grains of the former and ten of the latter thrice daily; this was increased to ten grains of the chloral with ten grains of the bromide every four hours, but with very little benefit. On the 29th November as his condition had not materially improved Extract Physostigmatis gr. was given in the form of a pill every two hours.

24

The Sister reported that after the first, but more especially after the second pill, there was complete relaxation of all the affected muscles but in the course of half an hour the rigidity returned." On the 2nd December the pills were increased to gr. of the Extract and given every two hours. Soon after this there was decided improvement, the muscles relaxed and the spasms returned much less frequently. On the 11th the Extract Physostigmatis was discontinued as there had been no rigidity for 24 hours. There was no return and he was discharged cured on the 19th December.

At no time was there any anoesthesia. On the 19th November there is a note that the muscles of the back were so strongly contracted that the back was quite bowed (emprosthotonus) with the concavity backwards.

 Diagnosis.-At first I was considerably puzzled over this case and thought the boy was suffering from tetanus-the favourable issue and the condition of the muscles affected distinguish it from this disease; the bilateral condition and the absence of other symptoms usually met with distinguish it from hysteria.

SEVERE INJURIES TO A CHILD AT WONG-MA-KOK.

 A Chinese girl, aged 9 years, was admitted from Wong-ma-kok on the 29th October, 1892, in a state of collapse suffering from the following wounds said to have been inflicted by some wild animal:-

i. A severe lacerated wound of the right forearm extending from the inner part of the arm just above the elbow downwards and outwards. The hand, with the exception of part of the thumb which

was simply attached by means of the extensor tenders, was completely gone, the wrist and lower third of the forearm were also missing, the whole limb below the elbow being dreadfully mangled, the skin severely torn and the muscles hanging down in shreds.

ii. The hands, wrist and lower third of the left forearm were completelyb itten off leaving a clean wound with the lower ends of the bones exposed.

joint.

long.

iii. There was a punctured wound of the right knee passing through the patella into the knee

iv. A punctured wound of the left foot on the inner side of the dorsum injuring the bone.

v. A superficial wound of the lower third of the right thigh at the inner side, some two inches

  vi. There was also a slight wound of the forehead and two of the central incisor teeth of the upper jaw were missing, evidently the result of a fall on the face.

  On admission she was in a very critical state suffering from the effects of shock and hemorrhage. Under the influence of chloroform the wounds were dressed, as much of the bones of the forearms were saved as possible, and the child ultimately made a very good recovery.

  The wound of the right knee caused the most trouble, suppuration occurring in the joint necessitating incision and free drainage, when she was discharged on the 25th February last there was still some stiffness in the right knee, but this was every day becoming less.

  From the appearance of the wounds and the description given by the child and her friends, it appears that on the morning of the 29th October she was attacked by some wild beast whilst tending cattle near Wong-ma-kok, the animal, which she described as being yellow with brown stripes and the size of a small cow, rushed at her, knocked her down and,mauled her in the way described,

She then ran back to her friends who conveyed her to the Police Station at Stanley whence she was brought here in an ambulance.

  As her mother did not wish to take her back saying that she would not be able to earn her living, Miss JOHNSTONE kindly took charge of her, and she is now an inmate of "Fairlea.

  The Government have sanctioned the necessary expenditure, so that she will be provided with two artificial hands as soon as the condition of the stumps will admit.

DYSENTERY.

Herewith notes of four cases of Acute Dysentery treated with the Saturated Solution of Sulphate of Magnesia

I.-NABI BUX, Indian Police Constable, at. 24.

This man was admitted on the 4th of August with a history of two days diarrhoea, the faces containing blood and mucus, during the preceding twelve hours the bowels have been open seven times, this is the first attack of dysentery the patient has had.

  He was placed on congee and milk diet and that afternoon the ordinary treatment was prescribed, namely, 30 grains of Pulv Ipecacuanha Ver preceded by a draught containing fifteen minims of Tinctura Opii, his temperature that evening was 100.4°, as the bowels had been open three times, at 11 p.m. the Opium and Ipecacuanha were repeated.

On the 5th instant the patient was decidedly better bowels only acting thrice in the 24 hours; as there was a relapse on the 6th instant in the evening, the Opium and Ipecacuanha were again repeated with temporary improvement, this was maintained until the evening of the 8th instant when the bowels were again frequently moved and the temperature rose to 102.8° F., as there was no improve- ment on the morning of the 9th, the bowels having been moved seven times in the night and the temperature being 101.4° F., the following mixture was prescribed :----

REMARKS.

Undoubtedly in some cases of Acute Dysentery Sulphate of Magnesia given in the way described is decidedly beneficial in the treatment of the disease; it increases the flow of serum from the blood- vessels of the engorged and inflamed intestinal mucus membrane, thus washing away the products of inflammation from the dysenteric ulcers and relieving the fever. As soon as the stools became bilious Undoubtedly Ipeca- the Sulphate of Magnesia is discontinued and an astringent mixture prescribed.

cuanha is still our sheet anchor in this disease, but in two of these cases the Sulphate of Magnesia was successful after the Ipecacuanha had seemingly failed. There is another great advantage that the distressing vomiting, which is so often an accompaniment of the administration of Ipecacuanha, is by giving the Sulphate of Magnesia obviated.

Enclosure 2.

Report from the Medical Officer in charge of Gaol Hospital.

GAOL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 17th March, 1893.

SIR-I have the honour to forward the report together with statistical tables of the work done in this Hospital in 1892.

2. During the past year 312 patients were admitted into the Hospital, 18 of whom were for observation including, under this class, seven men sent by the Magistrates for certificates as to sanity. Of this number, five were found to be of unsound mind.

3. The diseases from which all 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 admitted into Hospital, are recorded in Table N. They amounted to 723, a larger number than in 1891; but all these cases were of a trifling nature, a great percentage consisting of boils, abscesses and contusions.

6. From the time that the late Major-General GORDON caused, on medical recommendation, the rough surfaces of the yards to be smoothed, there has been a remarkable decrease of plantar abscess. Since the beginning of last year, by order of His Excellency the Governor, the well-conducted short- sentenced prisoners are sent daily out to work in the chain-gangs, and, as it was to be expected, there was again an increase of cases of plantar abscess, but not so much, as when the prisoners had to walk on the rough grounds of the Gaol yards.

7. Mr. A. M. THOMSON, while Acting Superintendent of the Gaol, bought, on medical suggestion, a new set of hats with broader brims for chain gang prisoners. It might be that owing to this fact that these prisoners are better protected now from sunheat, there has been very little sickness observed amongst them. There were many cases of remittent fever in this Gaol, but not one chain-gang man had suffered from it. Another advantage which this new hat has, I think, is that it hides better the convicts' faces from gaze of the public.

  The prisoners are anxious to be called to serve in the chain-gang, as they then get more food and are employed in less arduous and monotonous work, than that of shot drill and carrying stones around the yard.

  8. The rate of sickness and mortality are given in Table 9. There were seven deaths amongst the prisoners from the following causes :-Jaundice, the result of obstruction in the hepatic ducts. The gall-bladder was full and greatly distended, its walls were thin at the lower end. The liver was enlarged; Hamorrhage from rupture of spleen which was hypertrophied; Suicide by hanging himself at the door of his cell with one of his garments. This man was on remand. He had been already convicted three times; Perforation of a Duodenal ulcer. Dr. CANTLIE, who made the autopsy in this case, has published an account of it in the Indian Medical Gazette, No. 1, Vol. XXVIII.; Ulcer of stomach and cancer of pancreas; Acute tuberculosis of lungs : Pulmonary congestion in consequence of bronchitis and chronic emphysema.

  9. An Indian Gaol guard, shortly after he was relieved from his duty on the 23rd March at 12.30 a.m., shot himself with his revolver through the palate. The bullet was found flattened under the left temporal muscle. It was only three days before that he had left the Government Civil Hospital, where he had been treated for Bronchial Catarrh.

  10. Three male and three female prisoners, all of them Chinese, were released on medical recom- mendation after having served part only of their sentence,

628

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH JUNE, 1893.

 A Chinese woman, 72 years of age, a beggar, weak and emaciated, was recommended to the Magistrate for the Tung Wah Hospital.

Two lepers were sent to Canton.

11. Fewer patients were admitted into Hospital last year than in the previous one. This does not necessarily imply that the sanitary condition of the Gaol, which has always been good, has improved still more: but is accounted for, I believe, by the healthier constitution of the prisoners generally.

12. Some interesting cases were treated in this Hospital.

A Chinaman, who was on remand pending extradition, tried to escape over the wire netting which is spread above the wall of one of the yards. After reaching the top of the wall, he fell down in Old Bailey Street. He was picked up in a precarious state, the front teeth were fractured, the face was swollen and greatly disfigured. He was delirious, but gradually recovered. Two Chinese both old offenders, who were put to crank labour, attempted to commit suicide by hanging themselves in their cells. I found one of them in an unconscious state with convulsions. After bleeding from the right median basilic, he slowly recovered, but his brain showed signs of the injury received for a long time afterwards. Another old convict, who was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour for returning from deportation, had several deep incised wounds on the neck, his left external ear was divided. He said that he was wounded in Chinese territory five days before he came back to Hongkong. All the divided parts were joined with silver wire sutures, and although some days had elapsed from the time that those wounds were inflicted the operation proved very successful.

13. I have continued to treat, with marked advantage, certain forms of dysentery by means of enema of Ipecacuanha, as I have stated in my report last year.

14. There were, amongst the female prisoners, some cases which required great care in nursing. Mrs. M. NOLAN, the Matron, has proved to be very trustworthy and kind to the patients.

15. Dr. ATKINSON, the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, sent me last November, six tubes containing lymph prepared at the Vaccine Institute of this Colony. A certain number of the prisoners was vaccinated with it by me and Warder FLORES. The result was satisfactory, the percentage of the successful vaccination being high. After a short time, arm-to-arm vaccination was established.

16. The Chinese prisoners, as a rule, are not the best subjects for experiment of this kind; for as I have stated in one of my former reports, that contrary to the old and prevailing notion, I have found that almost all the prisoners have been properly vaccinated in the arms and some inoculated when very young in their homes.

17. The subjoined are the results of the work and enquiry regarding the vaccination of the long- sentenced prisoners :---

18. The number of opium smokers that were received into Hospital and the disease which they had, are given in Table P.

19. Table Q. shows the weight of opium smokers for the first four weeks of confinement. It was compiled, as usual, by Warder FLORES and Assistant Warder HAMED, who have been very attentive to their duty, particularly Warder FLORES who is of great assistance to me.

I believe that incarceration in this Gaol for a period of twelve months or more, is the most efficacious way of curing the opium smokers of their habit.

I have the honour to be.

GOVERNMENT LABORATORY,

HONGKONG, 7th May, 1893.

SIR, I have the honour to submit a statement of the work done in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1892.

TOXICOLOGICAL.

2. Under this head 4 investigations embracing the analysis of 17 articles were conducted. In one case that of a European male adult, chloral was detected in portions of the viscera forwarded for analysis. In the second case, that of two Chinese adults, an alkaloid was isolated from the contents of the stomachs which did not answer to any chemical tests. Accordingly, solutions for hypodermic injection into small animals were prepared and handed over to the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital for physiological observation. Dr. ATKINSON certified as follows

"As the results of experiments made with the liquids handed to me by the Government Analyst, I am of opinion that B. contained a convulsive neurotic poison. A Guinea-pig was injected with twenty minims of this liquid and died in five minutes, death being preceded by strong tetanic convulsions."

""

"The same result occurred with a rabbit similarly injected, but in this case death was not induced until twenty minutes after the injection of the poison.

'Negative results were obtained with the liquid A."

(Signed) J. M. ATKINSON, Superintendent Government Civil Hospital.

3. The solution marked A. was prepared from the alkaloid isolated from stomach contents measuring only a few drachms. B. was prepared from similar viscera measuring about two fluid ounces. In both cases with general alkaloidal reagents a marked indication of the presence of an alkaloid was obtained especially in the case of B. The negative physiological results in the case of A. may be attributed to the small amount of material available for analysis. This investigation is of interest in demonstrating the value of "life-tests" in cases where the poison does not respond to any specific chemical test.

4. In the other cases no poison was found.

MILK.

5. Thirty-two analyses of milk were made during the year--24 for the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, 7 for the Sanitary Board, and 1 for the Deputy Inspector-General, R. N. Hospital.

6. The Civil Hospital specimens were analyzed with a view to controlling the quality of the supplies furnished by the Government Contractor, and the proximate percentage composition of samples from both morning and evening deliveries collected at irregular intervals of about a month will be found in the following tables :--

7. I have frequently been spoken to by Medical men and Dentists as to the quality of the milk produced in this Colony. The above tables will, I trust, satisfy all those interested as to the nutritive qualities of this valuable and indispensable article of diet. The percentages quoted are the results arrived at by the Somerset House method of analysis. In every case the solids have been "dried to constant weight." I may say in one sentence that better Dairy milk could scarcely be obtained in England: the above averages compare most favourably with the results of the analyses of the best Dairy milks in Great Britain.

 8. The Sanitary Board samples were collected by District Inspectors of Nuisances from retail vendors. The following are the results of the analyses :

 9. In only one case (No. 3) was I able to certify that the sample contained added water (12 per cent.). No. 5 was certainly a suspicious specimen, but I could not declare against it in view of the percentages of fat and mineral constituents. No. 7 was from the same Dairy as No. 5 and was collected at a subsequent period. The improvement in the quality of the milk after the purchase of a sample by the District Inspector is suggestive to say the least.

10. The sample of milk from the Royal Naval Hospital was found to be of normal composition.

BREAD.

 11. The 3 samples of bread, forwarded by the Sanitary Board, were of good quality and very even in composition. The inorganic constituents ranged from .46 to .51, and the moisture from 41.2 to 42.6 per cent. None of the samples contained alum.

SAND.

 12. Seven specimens of sand were analyzed at the request of the Director of the Public Works Department. The lime salts, chiefly carbonates, present ranged from 1.6 to 53 per cent. The finest

specimens contained the largest amount of matter soluble in Hydrochloric Acid. There appears to be no objection to the use of Calcareous sand for the filtration of the public water supplies. From the sand at present used calcium carbonate to the extent of about one grain per gallon is taken into solution in the process of filtration.

WATER.

13. Seventy-seven analyses of water were made for the following:

14. All the samples of water analyzed for the Director of the Public Works Department were derived from the Pokfulam and Taitam services. These analyses-one each month of the water both before and after filtration-were continued in order to obtain exact information as to the efficiency of the filtering operations.

15. In the following table will be found the results of the monthly analysis of the water from both sources as supplied to the City of Victoria and the Hill District.

16. The above results are eminently satisfactory. The Colony is certainly to be congratulated on the excellent quality of the public water supplies.

17. On the recommendation of the Sanitary Board analyses were made of water drawn at monthly intervals in the Hill District (Mount Gough Police Station). The water in this district is pumped from the Station in Bonham Road to a tank near the Victoria Peak Signal Station and distributed therefrom to houses in that vicinity and to houses in the Mount Gough, Mount Kellett, and Magazine Gap districts. The wrought-iron pipes used for this service appear to have been coated internally

  The following Report of the Inspector of Schools for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 19th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th June, 1893.

No. 37.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 6th May, 1893.

SIR,- I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education for the year 1892.

2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions of all descriptions, known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1892, amounts to 229 Schools with a grand total of 10,940 scholars, constituting an increase, as compared with the preceding year, of 14 Schools and 821 scholars. More than three-fourths of the whole number of scholars under instruction in the Colony attend Schools under the supervision of the Education Depart- ment, viz., 130 Schools with 8,277 scholars. The remainder, viz., 99 Schools with 2,663 scholars, consists, with the exception of the Police School (with 371 scholars) and the Roman Catholic Reform- atory (with 75 scholars), of Private Schools, entirely independent of Government supervision and receiving no aid from public funds unless it be that a few of them (as Charitable Institutions) are exempt from payment of rates and taxes.

3. GENERAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-The total number of Schools, subject to supervision and examination on the part of the Education Department, amounted, in the year 1892, to 130 as compared with 80 Schools in the year 1882 and with 30 Schools in the year 1872. The total number of scholars enrolled in this same class of Schools during the year 1892 amounted to 8,277 as compared with 5,182 scholars in the year 1882 and 1,480 scholars in the year 1872. In other words, there has been an increase of 50 Schools and 3,702 scholars during the ten years from 1872 to 1882 and a like increase of 50 Schools and 3,095 scholars during the ten years from 1882 to 1892.

  4. PROGRESS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS.-Comparing the statistics of Schools under the Education Department with regard to individual years, it appears that the number of Schools rose from 112, in the year 1890, to 117 Schools in the year 1891 and 130 Schools in 1892, while the number of scholars under instruction in these same Schools rose from 7,170, in the year 1890, to 7,672 scholars in the year 1891 and 8,277 scholars in the year 1892. There has been thus a steady annual increase observable during the last three years, progressing from an increase of 63 scholars in the year 1890, to an increase of 502 scholars in the year 1891 and an increase of 605 scholars in the year 1892.

5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS.-The Schools under the general supervision of the Education Department may be divided into Government Schools and Voluntary Schools. Under the term Government Schools are included all Schools established and maintained by the Government. Under the term Voluntary Schools are included all those Public Schools, established and maintained by private educationists, which have been voluntarily placed by their respective Managers under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme (established in the year 1873 and revised in 1879 and 1883) and consequently under inspection and examination by the Inspector of Schools. In the case of the Government Schools all expenses are provided by the Govern- ment, and the salaries of the teachers, who are members of the Civil Service or Government employees entitled to pension, are paid irrespective of results ascertained by examination. In the case of the Voluntary Schools, the respective Managers provide all expenses but annually receive from the Govern- ment a Grant-in-Aid the amount of which depends, in the case of each School, on the definite results ascertained by an annual examination of each individual scholar, and the paid teachers receive one- fourth of that Grant as a personal reward of their tuitional effectiveness. These two classes of Schools are further characterized by the fact that the Government Schools, as above defined, are virtually secular Schools whilst the aforementioned Voluntary Schools are all Christian (either Protestant or Catholic) Institutions. Referring now to the 8,277 scholars under instruction in the year 1892 in 130 Schools under the supervision of the Education Department, there were as many as 5,655 of these scholars attending 95 Voluntary Schools where they received a religious (Christian) education, whilst 2,622 scholars attended Government Schools receiving a secular education. The subjoined Table exhibits the comparative growth of both classes of Schools since the starting of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme of 1873, which was revised in 1879 and 1883.

  6. SITUATION OF SCHOOLS.-The above mentioned 99 Private (and mostly Confucian) Schools, the 35 Government Schools (giving a secular education) and the 95 Christian Mission Schools, at work in the Colony during the year 1892, are happily so interspersed that, with the exception of three places, every village, and in town every district and even every considerable street, had some school or other. The exceptions are the Praya where family dwellings are comparatively rare, the Peak district where the residents do not care yet sufficiently for a Public School, and the village of Aberdeen where malarial fever has some years ago necessitated temporary closing of the School. Numerous, well- distributed and conveniently intermingled as the various classes of local Schools are, the school-houses are ill-suited for the purpose, there being, among the 229 Schools of the Colony, hardly 16 Schools that can be said to have proper accommodation. The high prices which Managers have to pay for house- rent constitute the principal cause of this state of things. The rarity and costliness of building sites in town, suitable for educational purposes, also hinder Managers erecting school-houses with the aid (under the Building Grant Regulations) which the Government would be willing to furnish.

7. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.-The sum total of educational payments made by the Government during the year 1892 ($86,627 as compared with $72,983 in 1891) amounted, after deducting all educational refunds ($12,857 as compared with $12,624 in 1891), to $73,770 as compared with $60,359 in 1891. The increase of expenditure ($13,411) was caused principally by the rare occurrence of two building grants, by the naturally increasing cost of Victoria College, by the gradual expansion of the Voluntary School system, and by the fact that the financial year 1892 includes 13 months. The detailed items of expenditure were as follows:- Office of Education Department, $6,220.35; Victoria College (not including repairs of building), $24,216.82; Government Central School for Girls (including rent of building), $2,860.19; thirty-two other Departmental Schools, $8,704.61; Grants-in-Aid to Voluntary Schools, $28,430.27 (viz., ordinary Grants-in-Aid to 95 Schools $22,930.27 and Building Grants to 2 Schools, $5,500.00); Physical Training in all Schools, $339.72; Government Scholarship, $2,808.56; Student Interpreters, $189.72. The net cost of education ($73,770.24) amounted, in 1892, to 3.29 per cent. of the total Colonial revenue (as compared with 3.26 per cent. in 1891). The total number of scholars educated in Hongkong in 1892, at the expense or with the aid of the Govern- ment, being 8,278, the education of each scholar cost the Government (after excluding cost of two Government Scholarships held in England) $8.57 per scholar (as compared with $7.49 per scholar in 1891). In the several educational institutions of the Colony the cost, to Government, of the education of each scholar was as follows:-in Victoria College (not including repairs of building owned by Government) $22.80 per scholar; in Girls Central School (including rent of hired building), $20.57; at 32 other Departmental Schools, $6.12; at 95 Grant-in-Aid Schools (not including Building Grants), $4.39. The Managers of those 95 Grant-in-Aid Schools, who received from the Government, in 1892, as Grants-in-Aid, based on the definite results ascertained by the individual examination of each scholar, the sum of $22,576.97, spent during the same year on those Schools, out of the resources of their respective Societies supplemented, in the case of 6 Schools, by school fees ranging from $1 to $3 per mensem for each scholar, the sum of $59,394.13.

8. NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE COLONY.--As regards those 130 Schools, with 8,277 scholars, under the supervision of the Education Department in the year 1892, there were 22 Schools at work, giving to 3,024 scholars of English, Portuguese, Indian or Chinese

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH JUNE, 1893.

635

extraction an English education (combined with classical Chinese teaching in the case of 6 of these Schools with 1,601 scholars, mostly Chinese); 4 Schools gave to 186 Portuguese children a European education in the Portuguese language; 3 Schools gave to 146 Chinese children a European education in the Chinese language; and 101 Schools gave to 4,921 Chinese children a classical Chinese educa- tion. In other words, among 8,277 scholars under instruction in the year 1892 in 130 Schools under the supervision of the Education Department, 17.19 per cent. received in 16 Schools a purely English education; 19.34 per cent. received in 6 Schools an English education combined with Chinese classical teaching; 2.24 per cent. received in 4 Schools an elementary European education in the Portuguese language and 1.67 per cent. in 3 Schools a European education in the Chinese language; but the vast majority, viz., 59.45 per cent. received in 101 Schools a purely Chinese education. Comparing the foregoing figures with those of preceding years, say with the year 1887, (when the percentages were, in the above order, 11.51, 19.41, 3.74, 1.64, 63.64), it is evident that since the last six years purely English teaching has made rapid strides; Anglo-Chinese teaching (adhered to nowhere but in Govern- ment Schools) has remained almost stationary; purely Portuguese Schools have been losing ground; Chinese Schools giving a European education have barely maintained their position and purely Chinese teaching has changed but little. But the most noteworthy feature as to the forward movement of English education in the Colony is the fact that among the 1,423 scholars in 16 purely English Schools, the girls number 507 or 35.63 per cent. This proportion, though by no means satisfactory yet, is a very great advance on the condition of things a few years ago. The English education given in those Schools trenches from year to year more and more upon the ground of secondary education, and in this respect also it is observable that female education in the Colony is decidedly progressive, as is evidenced by the fact that, for the first time in the history of the Colony, some girls competed (and that successfully) with boys at the Local Oxford Examinations, and some are now preparing for the senior division of the same Examinations.

9. FEMALE EDUCATION.-The total of girls enrolled during the year 1892 in Schools of all descriptions, under the supervision of the Education Department, amounted to 2,942 or 35.54 per cent. of the total number of scholars enrolled in those Schools, as compared with 36.38 per cent. in 1891 and 32.41 per cent. in 1890. That the slight falling off in the proportion of girls under instruc- tion in 1892, as compared with the number of the preceding year, does not indicate more than that the increase of boys in 1892 was somewhat greater than the increase of girls, will be seen from the subjoined Table exhibiting the proportion of boys and girls under instruction in those Schools during the last twenty years. During the last three years the annual increase or decrease of scholars was as follows:-1890, decrease of 145 boys and increase of 208 girls; 1891, increase of 75 boys and 467 girls; 1892, increase of 454 boys and 151 girls.

10. ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOL AND NUMBER OF UNEDUCATED CHILDREN.-The population of Hongkong amounted, in the year 1892, according to the Registrar General's estimate, to 231,662 souls. The number of children of local school-age (6 to 16 years) consisted, in 1892, of about 30,987 children, viz., 16,322 boys and 14,665 girls. One-third of the whole number of the children of school-going age actually came under instruction during the year 1892, viz., 10,940 scholars, 8,723 of whom attended Public Schools and 2.217 attended Private Schools. The remaining two-thirds, or 20,047 children under 16 years of age may be put down as imperfectly educated, but at least one-half of them, though under 16 years of age and not attending any School in 1892, are probably children who, having from

636

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH JUNE, 1893.

their seventh to their tenth or twelfth or fourteenth year attended a Chinese School, were withdrawn from school to be apprenticed to some trade or industry or to contribute towards the support of their respective families in some way or other. I believe, however, that there may be about 10,000 children in the Colony who never attend school at all and most of them are, no doubt, girls and among the girls it is chiefly the purchased servant-girls and the daughters of the boat-population who receive no education whatever.

11. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS.-As far as the 95 Voluntary Grant-in-Aid Schools are concerned, the detailed results of the annual examinations of these Schools will be found summar- zd in Table XIV. appended to this Report, where the percentage of scholars, passed in each School in 1892, is stated and compared with the results of the preceding year, and in Table XV which records the percentage of passes gained by those Schools in each subject. As regards the Depart- mental 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 Government Gazette and the Departmental District Schools will be found classified and arranged, in the order of their efficiency, in Table X. I subjoin, however, a few general observations with regard to these several Schools.

 12. VICTORIA COLLEGE.-In my report for the preceding year I suggested that the educative methods and whole organization of the College require a radical reform. No material change, with the exception of more attention devoted now to the teaching of English Colloquial, appears to have been made as yet; but a Committee, consisting of the Registrar General (as representing the Chinese com- munity), the Head of the Education Department and the Headmaster of the College, has repeatedly met, during the year 1892, considering questions of reform and taking some evidence. As regards the question of the conduct of the annual examination of the College, I am thankful to say that the recommendations of my last report have been approved and the general test examination, which is the natural duty of the Head of the Education Department, has been separated now from that annual examination, at the end of each year, which properly belongs to the Headmaster alone.

 13. GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.-Cramped by want of space, hampered by unpro- pitious situation and injured by several sudden changes in the Staff, the Girls Central School bravely held its own, raised its standard of teaching, and materially improved in moral tone. I am happy to say the example, which the Government set (in 1890), in opening this School with particular refer- ence to the neglected Eurasian girls in the Colony, has had the effect of stimulating private education- ists to make some efforts (in 1892), in bringing more Eurasian children under the influence of education. The wholesome competition which has thus arisen in 1892, has happily somewhat reduced the number of children attending the Girls Central School which was rather overcrowded. Once more the author- ities of the School have been laid under obligation by the interest which Lady ROBINSON takes in, and the encouragement thus afforded to, the promotion of female education in the Colony.

 14. DEPARTMENTAL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-The number of the Departmental District Schools (out- side Victoria College and Girls Central School) has been considerably reduced with the close of the year 1892. During the preceding year the Shauki-wan Anglo-Chinese School and the San-ts'un Chinese School were closed owing to the falling off of the attendance. In June 1892, the Government decided that Departmental Schools having fewer than 25 scholars in average attendance should be closed unless there should be no other School in the immediate neighbourhood. In accordance with this resolution, 10 Departmental District Schools were abolished at the close of the year 1892, viz., the Schools at Little Hongkong, Hok-tsui, Shai-wan, Wongkok-tsui, Tsat-tsze-mui, Taihang, Hung- hom, Hok-un, Matau-chung and Matau-wai. But as at the same time measures were taken to ensure the immediate opening of a number of new Grant-in-Aid Schools to replace the closed Departmental Schools in places where there was urgent need for them, this seemingly drastic measure will prove beneficial. The two Departmental Schools at Tokwawan, though badly attended, have not been closed for the present, pending the erection by a Manager of a suitable building for which a site has been granted by the Government. The Punti Division of the Tanglungchau Departmental School being badly attended, the Master was transferred to Mongkoktsui, whereupon a private School at once took the place of the Departmental School at Tanglungchau without any expense to the Government. regards the Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Government, four of them (those at Saiyingpun, Wantsai, Wongnaichung and Stanley) have done very efficient work and enjoy very good attendance; but the Yaumati School has exhibited rather poor results, and the School does not appear to be much appre- ciated by the neighbourhood.

As

 15. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-Fourteen new Grant-in-Aid Schools were started at the commence. ment of the year 1892, viz. :-3 English Boys Schools, 7 Chinese Girls Schools and 4 Chinese Boys Schools. The annual examinations of all the 95 Grant-in-Aid Schools shewed satisfactory progress in almost all the branches of Chinese and English teaching, and in many cases there is now a strong tendency to superadd the main features of a secondary education to the curriculum of Schools which were formerly purely elementary. There is at present no strictly speaking secondary School in the Colony, but there are six Schools the highest or special classes of which are now devoting their energies entirely to secondary education. This natural development has led to renewed demands on the part of Managers for a corresponding revision of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. The addition of Arithmetic to the pensum of Schools giving a purely Chinese education, the addition of elementary science teaching in the case of Schools giving a European education in the Chinese language, and a revision of the gradation of both class subjects and special subjects in the case of English Schools, were, next to the

637

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH JUNE, 1893.

demand for a seventh standard in all the three classes of Schools, the principal desiderata recognized by all interested. As the Managers consented to my suggestion that a revision, with these ends in view, should be constructed on the principle that the expenditure of the Government should not be increased by the changes to be made, I communicated to the Managers at the close of the year 1892 the details of a scheme of revision which is likely to reconcile the interests of both the Government and the Managers in a manner which may be expected to result in enlarging the scope of and intensi- fying the educational stimulus afforded by our local Grant-in-Aid Scheme.

16. LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.-Arrangements were made during the year 1892, both with the Senate of London University and with the College of Preceptors in London, to recognize the Government Offices, Hongkong, as a centre for local examinations in connection with those Examining Bodies. An examination for the teachers' diploma of membership of the College of Preceptors was accordingly held in Hongkong, in July 1892, but the proposed London University Matriculation Examination had to be postponed. The results of the annual Oxford Local Examinations, held in Hongkong in July 1892, were as under:-I. Junior Division.-Honours List, none. Pass List.-Diocesan School, 4 passes; Victoria College, 2 passes; Victoria English School (Girls), 2 passes. Candidates, who, having exceeded the age of 16 years, satisfied the Examiners,-Victoria College, 1 pass; High School, 1 pass; Victoria English School (Girls), 1 pass. Successful candidates who obtained distinction,- in English, Diocesan School, 1; Victoria English School (Girls), 1. Details of examination results of Junior Division:-presented 22; examined 20; pass in preliminary subjects, 16; passed in religi- ous knowledge, fully 10, partly 2; passed in English, fully 16, partly 4; passed in mathematics, 8; passed in drawing, 6. Total of certificates issued, 10. Total of pass certificates issued to candidates who had exceeded the limit of age, 3. II. Senior Division.-Honours List, none. Pass List, Victoria College, 3; Diocesan School, 2; High School, 1. Successful candidates who obtained distinction, none. Details of examination results of Senior Division:-presented, 7; examined, 7; passed in preliminary subjects, 7; passed in religious knowledge, 4; passed in English, 7; passed in natural science, 6; passed in book-keeping, 2. Total of certificates issued, 6. The foregoing results may be summarized, thus:-Diocesan School, 6 passes and 1 distinction; Victoria College, 6 passes; Victoria English School, 3 passes and 1 distinction; High School, 2 passes.

17. BELILIOS MEDAL AND PRIZE EXAMINATIONS.-At the annual competitive examinations for Belilios Medals and Prizes (December, 1892), 19 scholars of 7 different local Schools took part in the competition. In the Boys' Division, the Diocesan School gained 4 prizes (2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th). In the Girls' English Division, the Victoria English School took 2 prizes (1st and 3rd), and the Italian Convent 1 prize (2nd). In the Girls' Chinese Division, the Victoria Home and Orphanage School gained the 1st and 2nd, and the Basel Mission School the 3rd and 4th prizes.

??

18. PHYSICAL TRAINING.-The British Army School drill was continued during the year in 12 local Schools, including 4 Girls Schools. To exhibit to the public the nature and results of this form of physical drill, a public inspection and parade of a select number of boys from 5 Public Schools was held (14th November, 1892) in the presence of His Excellency the Governor, who expressed his appreciation of the results so far achieved.

19. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.-Apart from the industrial classes of the Roman Catholic Reform- atory School, the only industrial teaching given in local Schools consists of the needlework instruction given in all the Girls Schools of the Colony and particularly in the Chinese Schools (which form the majority). The embroidery work, taught in the latter Schools, has a distinctly commercial value; highly appreciated particularly by the poorer classes of parents, as it enables the girls, at a compara- tively early age, to contribute towards the support of their families by doing embroidery work for Chinese shops.

20. MEDICAL EDUCATION.-The College of Medicine for Chinese issued, in July 1892, its two first graduates after a five years' training. Though their qualification is not yet recognised by Govern- ment, they are certified by a court of independent examiners to be thoroughly qualified to practice medicine, surgery and midwifery. The officers and lecturers of the College, all of whom give their services gratuitously, are steadily carrying forward their philanthropic work, and have at the present time over a dozen promising lads pursuing the curriculum. The Honourable E. R. BELILIOS's build- ing scheme has not been acted upon up to the present, as his stipulations regarding endowment have not yet been complied with.

  21. SCHOLARSHIPS.-The Government Scholarship for the study of law, medicine or engineering in the United Kingdom (£200 per annum, for 4 years) was competed for, in October 1892, by 5 can- didates (from Victoria College, St. Joseph's College, Diocesan School and High School respectively) and gained by G. A. YVANOVICII, a scholar of St. Joseph's College. This College had never before taken part in these biennial competitions (established in 1884). The next competition (due in 1894) has been postponed. This temporary pause gives time for reconsideration, welcome because the work- ing of this Scholarship has clearly failed to fulfil the precise purposes for which it was established. Although the expenditure involved (£400 per annum) is small in proportion to the means of the Colony, it is serious when viewed in the light of the fact that the aid given by Government to element- ary Schools has so frequently to be subjected to pro rata reductions for want of funds. Neither has this educational prize met with sufficient appreciation on the part of the local Schools or afforded a palpable educational stimulus. None of the Schools, which have had the privilege of competing for this magnificent Scholarship, ever sent up for it more than one or at the utmost two candidates at any

638

one time. Of the four successful candidates sent to England, one only belongs to a bona fide resident family of Hongkong, and none is bound to return to the Colony. As to other local Scholarships, enjoyed by local Schools, during the year 1892, Victoria College had the benefit of 3 Belilios Scholar- ships, 2 Morrison Scholarships and 1 Stewart Scholarship; St. Joseph's College and the College of Medicine had each 1 Belilios Scholarship.

SIR,

With reference to your letter of the 9th instant I have the honour to enclose two copies of the advertisement which we issued on the 19th instant for Tenders for £200,000 Hong Kong Government 3 per cent. Stock, authorised by Ordinance. No. 2 of 1893. The tenders called for by this advertisement were opened yesterday, and amounted to £625,500 ranging from the minimum of £98 up to £102.1.0. The average price realised was £100. 12.7.

2. We telegraphed this result to the Colonial Secretary yesterday, and we think it may be regarded as satisfactory. Hong Kong 3 per cent. Stock has secured a position surpassed only by the similar stock of Canada and the Cape, both large, well known and marketable issues. We have not overlooked the suggestion made by the Governor in his despatch No. 9 of the 13th January that, having regard to the price quoted for Ceylon 3 per cent. Stock, a three per cent. Hong Kong Stock would probably be well received. It appears to us that the position of the two Colonies as far as they are known as borrowers here is not quite identical, Ceylon Government Securities having for many years ranked among investments of the highest class, while Hong Kong is known only by its single small issue of four cent. Debentures. Moreover the Ceylon three per cent. Stock was issued during per a period of great inflation and, even then, was not placed without some difficulty. Any considerable further issue at the present time would undoubtedly depress the stock to a figure which taken as a basis for estimating the probable result of a similar issue for Hong Kong would give a price at so great a discount as to leave a saving in interest, as compared with a 33 per cent. Stock at par, altogether insuffi- cient to compensate the Colony for the loss in repaying the debt.

3. The conversion of the four per cent. Debenture loan into the new Stock will be taken into consideration as soon as we have secured a Stock Exchange quotation for the Stock.

4. The original enclosures to your two letters of the 9th ultimo are returned herewith.

  8. Meters will be read at such times as the Water Authority may direct, not less frequently than three times a quarter. Whenever a meter is read a memorandum of the reading will be left with the occupier of the tenement supplied through it.

9. For the purpose of calculating the quarterly consumption the difference between two readings of the meter shall be taken.

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

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

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

  10. If a meter be found to be out of order; or if it be removed for repair or alteration, the fact will be noted on the memorandum, mentioned in Regulation 8. On fixing a new meter or refixing the old meter a second memorandum will be handed to the occupier of the tenement. The consumption for the time that the meter was out of order or for the time that the service was without a meter will be calculated according to the average daily rate of consumption that obtained during the period between any two successive readings, whilst the meter was in good order, immediately preceding the removal of the meter.

11. If the consumer doubts the accuracy of the meter, which measures the water supplied to the tenement owned or occupied by him; then the meter will, on demand, be tested by the Water Author- ity. The consumer, or any person appointed by him, may be present when the meter is tested. The results of the test will be binding both on the Water Authority and on the consumer; and the quantity of water indicated by the meter, from the first reading of the quarter, as defined in Regulation 9, shall be corrected according to the results of the test.

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

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

12. Meters will be maintained by the Water Authority and all repairs, except those caused wil- fully or negligently, will be made by the Water Authority free of cost to the consumer.

13. The value of the amount of water consumed during the quarter, will be ascertained and calculated in accordance with Regulations 2, 3, 9 and 10 as the case may be. From the sum thus obtained a deduction will be made, equal to 2 per cent. on the annual valuation of the tenement, as defined under the Rating Ordinance, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Government Treasury. Each quarter's account shall be final, and no surplus shall be carried forward from one quarter to the

next.

14. The price to be paid for the construction, alteration or repair of any services made at the request of the owner or occupier shall cover the cost of the materials used and the cost of labour and super- vision. The Water Authority shall, as soon as practicable, after the completion thereof, present an account to the person who so requested in the form A in the Schedule. The amount as shown in such account shall be paid into the Colonial Treasury in cash in full within fourteen days of the presenta- tion of the account.

15. In all cases of non-domestic supply an account shall be delivered quarterly of the amount to The be paid for the water consumed in the preceding quarter and for the meter rent in advance. account shall be in the form B in the Schedule, and the amount thereof shall be paid to the Treasury in cash in full within fourteen days of the presentation of the account.

 16. The suspension of the water supply may be effected by severing the pipe, conveying the supply to be suspended or by such other means as the Water Authority may deem necessary.

17. All new services and alteration to old services are to be done in accordance with the instruc- tions of the Water Authority.

The Water Authority whilst consulting the wishes of the consumer, as far as practicable, reserves the right to determine finally all matters concerning the construction or alteration of services, such as the diameter of the pipe to be used, the manner in which it is to be laid and the number, size, pattern and position of the taps.

 18. Notice of the intention to construct a new service, or to alter or extend any existing one must be given to the Water Authority by filling in a printed form which may be obtained, on appli- cation, at the said Office. This notice (form C) must be delivered at the Office of the Water Authority, addressed to the Water Authority, at least three clear days before work is commenced.

33. The overflow pipes of all cisterns are to be brought out to the outside of the building and shall terminate in some conspicuous position, so that any leakage may be easily detected. No over- flow pipe from any cistern shall on any account be connected with any drain or sewer or with the waste pipe of any bath or sink or with the overflow from any other cistern. Each cistern shall have a separate overflow pipe.

34. All water closets are to be provided with automatic waste-preventing flush tanks of approved pattern and under no circumstances shall the service be in direct communication with any water- closet-pan, latrine or urinal. In every such case a cistern or tank shall be interposed so as to prevent the possibility of any return of foul liquid or gas to the service or mains.

656

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24?? JUNE, 1893.

35. The outlet of every draw off tap shall be in some open and conspicuous place, so that leakage may be easily detected; and on no account shall the outlet be below the high water level in any cistern, tank, or other vessel into which the tap delivers.

The inlet of every bath or lavatory basin must be separate and distinct from the outlet, and the inlet must be at the top of the bath.

36. No overflow pipe shall be altered without the permission of the Water Authority.

37. Meters may be fixed by the Water Authority, and the connections of any service with the waterworks altered as the Water Authority may deem expedient in order to ascertain the total quantity of water supplied to any tenement, block, or group of tenements.

 42. No water passing into, through, or upon, or near any tenement from the waterworks shall be misused or wasted.

 43. Should it come to the knowledge of the Water Authority that the water supplied from the Water Works is being wasted or misused from any cause whatever within any tenement block or group of tenements, the Water Authority may forthwith disconnect the service supplying such tenement block or group of tenements from the Water Works and shall not reconnect such service until he is satisfied that reasonable means have been taken to prevent such waste or misuse.

 44. No water shall be drawn from the Water Works except from Public Fountains and house services in the manner laid down in these regulations without the written permission of the Water Authority, except in the case of fire when water may be obtained from the fire hydrants fixed in the streets for that purpose.

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.

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.

MARRIAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF YORK

AND

HER SERENE HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS VICTORIA OF TECK.

HIS EXCELLENCY said-Gentlemen, I am afraid that it may have been rather inconvenient to some of you to attend this special meeting this morning, but I will not detain you very long, and I am quite sure that you will not begrudge the few minutes that you will remain here when I tell you, as perhaps you already know, that the object of this special meeting is to consider the propriety of send- ing some congratulatory message to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family in reference to the approaching marriage of His Royal Highness the Duke of York and Her Serene Highness the Princess Victoria of Teck. His Royal Highness is known to many gentlemen in the colonies, and probably

to some in this Colony also. It is a little more than two years ago that I had the honour of entertaining him at Government House, Trinidad. I think that we all know that he is possessed of the most charming manner, amiable characteristics, and manly qualities. In all probability he will be the future King of England, and we all hope that he will be a worthy successor not only to his father but to Her Majesty the Queen, who has occupied the throne of Great Britain so incomparably for over fifty years. In regard to Her Serene Highness the Princess Victoria, we know that she is a charming English girl, daughter of one of the most popular Princesses in England, the Princess Mary of Cam- bridge, now the Duchess of Teck, and she seems to be as "sweet as English air can make her." If report is true she would seem fully to realise the dream of Tennyson in being "Queen Rose of the rosebud garden of girls."

 Gentlemen, I am quite sure that to-day and to-morrow messages will be flashing along the tele- graph lines from India. Mauritius, and Ceylon, and from other Eastern colonics congratulating the Royal Family on this auspicious event, and I am also quite sure that the Unofficial Members of this Council and the community of Hongkong will wish that their congratulations should arrive at the Royal Throne at the same time as the others do.

In conclusion His Excellency inoved the following resolution :--

"From the Governor of Hongkong to the Marquess of Ripon.

"The Council and Community of Hongkong ask your Lordship to convey to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family their respectful congratulations on the marriage of the Duke of York and Princess Victoria of Teck."

The Honourable C. P. CHATER, in seconding the motion, said-Sir, during the period that I have been the Senior Unofficial Member of this Council no pleasanter duty has fallen to my lot than that of having the honour to second the resolution just proposed by your Excellency. Though colonists of one of the most distant outposts of the Empire, I may venture to say that we are second to none either in personal loyalty to the Throne or in those feelings of devotion and affection to the Royal Family which it is the happy privilege of all citizens of the British Empire to feel. The marriage of the son of the heir to the Royal and Imperial Crown to an English Princess specially appeals to us in both ways, and it is therefore both as Her Majesty's loyal subjects and in our capacity as private citizens that it is our duty and our delight to transmit to-day to the Royal Family our most respectful congratula- tions on this marriage, which it is our carnest hope will fulfil its auspicious promises.

Motion put and carried unanimously.

ADJOURNMENT.-His Excellency then adjourned the Council.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 281.

The following Report on the Assessment for 1893-94, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 17th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th July, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

ASSESSOR'S OFFICE. HONGKONG, 19th June, 1893.

 SIR, I have the honour to submit my fourth Annual Report, on the Assessment for the year 1893-94.

2. By order of His Excellency the Governor in Council, I have made a new Valuation of the whole Colony, which comprises the City of Victoria, the Hill District, the Chinese Villages in Hongkong, Kowloon Point, and the Chinese Villages in British Kowloon,

3. The City of Victoria is divided into ten (10) rating districts, and, counting each village, &c. as an unit, there are eighty (80) rating districts, or areas, in the whole Colony.

 4. The number of houses reported to be vacant, and inspected under Section 35 of the Rating Ordinance, has been about the same as in the previous year, when I estimated the number of inspections at 3,500.

5. During the period from 1st July, 1892, to 1st June, 1893, Interim Valuations were made as follows:-

In the City of Victoria.

155 new tenements with a rateable value of

54 improved tenements with a rateable value of replacing existing assessments amounting to

In the rest of the Colony.

143 tenements with a rateable value of re-placing then current assessments of.....

.$46,630

$67,740

$51,775

.$56,962

$27,112

The total Interim Assessments for the whole Colony being 352 tenements with a gross rateable value of $171,332 less $78,887, on account of assessments cancelled, leaving an increase of $92,445.

6. The result of the new General Valuation is that the Rateable Value of the Colony as a whole has increased by $6,247 or 0.17 per cent.

7. There is a decrease in the City of Victoria of $21,761 or 0.68 per cent. accounted for firstly by a continuance of the causes affecting the rental value of property, and secondly by certain tenements having been demolished since the last Valuation, and therefore not being rateable, and by property having gone out of rating in previous years, and not yet having been replaced. These properties include the new building for the Chartered Bank adjoining the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, the Offices at the corner of Ice House Street and Queen's Road, the new store near to Messrs. Lane & CRAWFORD'S, 52 houses in course of construction upon the site of the Godowns, Praya West, near the Sailors' Home, and several other tenements in various localities. Nearly all of the properties referred to above will become rateable during the ensuing year, and I estimate the Rateable Value to be at least $40,000.

 8. I estimate the gross loss to Rateable Value in Victoria attributable to depreciation in rentals at $129,340 equal to 4.08 per cent. This shows a slight improvement on last year's return when the reduction from this cause was $145,720 or 4.44 per cent. The gain from new and improved property is $107,579, which, deducted from the above mentioned $129,320, leaves a net decrease of $21,761 on the Valuation of the City of Victoria.

 9. The Rateable Value of the Hill District shews a decrease of $6,030 equivalent to 6.46 per cent. 71.31 per cent. of this arises at the Magazine Gap District, where rents generally have fallen considerably. Since the Valuation was completed, I find that, in two or three instances, houses at the "Peak" have been let at improved rents, and there are indications of better figures being obtain-

able in the future.

10. In Kowloon Point there is an increase of $2,190 or 2.18 per cent. Yau-ma-ti and Hung-Hom shew increases of $1,470 (3.46 per cent.) and $929 (1.22 per cent.) respectively, Kowloon Villages, i.e., the whole of the Peninsula excluding Kowloon Point exhibit an increase in Rateable Value of $4,354 or 2.54 per cent.

 11. Hongkong Villages have increased in Rateable Value $27,494 equal to 27.73 per cent. $16,822 of this is owing to the extensions at the Tai Koo Sugar Refinery at Quarry Bay. Increases are also seen at Aberdeen and Shau Ki Wan of $3,752 (19.69 per cent.) and $2,404 (20.61 per cent.) res- pectively.

 Out of a total of 68 Villages in the Colony, only 9 have decreased in Rateable Value, the total reduction being $1,135 against an increase of $32,983 in the other 59 Villages.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JULY, 1893.

731

12. The Village Rolls throughout the Colony have been carefully revised, and the houses wholly re-numbered. I take this opportunity to thank the Honourable the Director of Public Works for the valuable assistance rendered me by Mr. KING, the Land Bailiff, in obtaining squatters' names, and in the identification of houses where the numbers had been obliterated, or where from other causes difficulties arose.

As the Village Lists are now more complete than has been the case previously, I have the honour to suggest that an Annual Valuation of the outlying districts is not necessary. If arrangements could be made for the Land Bailiff to supply me with a periodical return, half-yearly or yearly, of all changes in ownership which come under his observation, together with a list of new dwellings, &c. and those pulled down or removed, a general revision of the country districts, excepting the more important places, such as Shau Ki Wan, Aberdeen, Hung Hom and Yau-ma-ti once in three or five years, or even less frequently, would be quite sufficient.

13. I annex Table "A" giving a comparison of the Valuations of 1892-93 and 1893-94 for the City of Victoria, the amount increased or decreased in each district, and the net decrease; Table "B" giving similar comparisons for the Hill District, Hongkong Villages, Kowloon Point and Kowloon Villages; Table "C" a summary for the whole Colony.

  14. I venture to express the opinion that the result of the year's work as shewn above cannot be considered other than gratifying. It certainly proves that "the Colony as a whole is progressing."

  15. Mr. LAU-HI-To, my late Interpreter, died from Beri-beri on 3rd December last, and his place has been efficiently filled by Mr. IP YUK Pur, who is employed temporarily. The Clerk to Assessor, Mr. CH'AN PUI, continues to give satisfaction.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable N. G. MITCHELL-Innes,

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

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

This Standard Work on the hinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language 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 Directors recommend the transfer of $300,000 from the Profit and Loss Account to credit of the Reserve Fund, which Fund will then stand at $3,900,000.

After making this transfer and deducting Remuneration to Directors there remains for appropriation $759,280.16 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 2/6, the rate to which the accounts have been ad- justed, amounts to $284,444.45,

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

NEW CODE OF REGULATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL GRANTS-IN-AID.

1893.

 For the better promotion of Education in the Colony, the Government of Hongkong is prepared to assist schools on the system of grants-in-aid, subject to the following conditions:-

:

1. Before any grant can be made to a school, the Government must be satisfied that----

(a) The school is conducted as a public school.

(b) The school is not carried on with a view to private emolument but is under the direction

of a manager personally deriving from it no pecuniary advantage whatever.

(c) The school premises are healthy, well lighted, drained and ventilated, properly furnished,

and contain sufficient internal space for the average attendance.

(d) The master is competent.

(e) The time devoted to instruction in the subjects of the standards is at least four (not

necessarily consecutive) hours daily.

(f) The admission and daily attendance of the scholars are carefully registered by or under the supervision of the principal teacher and periodically verified by the manager; also proper discipline is maintained.

(g) The organisation is good, and the work conducted in accordance with a proper time-table. 2. The Government will not interfere in any way with-

(a) The religious instruction of a school.

(b) The hours for such instruction.

(c) The appointment of a teacher, provided he is competent.

(d) The school books, provided they are sufficient, as regards the instruction which they

contain, for the purposes of the standards hereafter to be referred to.

(e) The style of handwriting, but a bold round hand is recommended for European writing. (?) The stipulations of this code, without six months' previous notice in the Gazette.

 3. Grants will be subject to a cumulative reduction of five per cent. on the whole sum gained by a school, in each case where the Inspector reports defects in-

(a) The teaching.

(b) The accommodation.

(c) The keeping of the school roll.

(d) The organisation.

(e) The discipline.

(f) The books and apparatus.

Due regard in all these cases will be had to circumstances.

4. A school receiving a grant must be-

(a) Located where there is a sufficient population requiring a school, and not be removed

elsewhere without previous approval of the Government.

(b) Open at all times to Government inspection.

(c) Represented by a pecuniarily disinterested manager, distinct from the paid teacher, who will periodically verify the school roll, conduct all correspondence with the Government, sign the receipt for the grant, and furnish all returns which the Government may require.

 5. In the case of Chinese schools not under European supervision, the Inspector will be manager when necessary.

 6. The Government will not bind itself to give grants to all schools claiming them under the foregoing conditions, but will be guided by the circumstances of each case, and by the amount of money at its disposal for educational purposes. In all cases where a grant is refused, the reasons for the refusal will be given.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH AUGUST, 1893.

  7. The Government will reserve to itself the power to withdraw or reduce grants. In all cases, the reasons for the withdrawal or reduction will be given. All grants are subject to a reduction pro ruta whenever the total sum otherwise payable exceeds the amount voted for the purpose.

  8. One-fourth of the total grant made to a school will be handed to the paid teacher as a personal bonus. Paid assistant-teachers share in this payment in proportion to amount of salary received during the year. In the event of a change of paid teachers or assistant-teachers, each will receive his proportion of the sum thus due. If a paid teacher or assistant-teacher is dismissed, his share of the grant will go to the school.

  9. A detailed account, with proper vouchers, of the total income and expenditure of each school must be furnished by the manager annually, in the form provided for that purpose.

  10. Grants will be made for definite results in the subjects mentioned in the standards hereinafter referred to and no others.

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, ancientaud 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, ancientaud 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.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance for the regulation of the consumption of Morphine and for the suppression of the pernicious practice of administering or injecting preparations of Morphine by unqualified persons.

W

HEREAS it is desirable to regulate the consumption

of Morphine in this Colony and to forbid the ad- ministration or injection of preparations of Morphine except in cases where such treatment has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner.

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 as The Morphine Ordinance, 1893.

2. For the purposes of this Ordinance, Morphine shall include Morphia and every preparation thereof.

3. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, who shall administer by injection or otherwise any Morphine to any other person, except in cases where the same has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.

The onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person so administering the Morphine.

4. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical prac- titioner, who shall, except in cases where Morphine has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, furnish Morphine or furnish a hypodermic syringe or other appliance for the injection of Morphine, to any person, except a duly qualified medical practitioner shall, on con- viction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.

The onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person furnishing Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other ap- pliances as aforesaid.

5. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical prac- titioner or a chemist or druggist actually carrying on busi- ness as such, who shall have in his possession any Mor- phine or any preparation of Morphine shall on conviction before a Magistrate be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and, in default of payment, to imprison- ment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months. Provided that this section shall not apply to cases where Morphine has been prescribed by a duly qualified medical practitioner.

6. No prosecution shall be commenced under section 5 of this Ordinance without the fiat of the Attorney General.

Freamble.

Short title.

Interpreta- tion.

Administra- tion of morphine forbidden in certain cases.

Onas of proof.

Furnishing norphine or appliances for injection.

Possession of Morphine.

Fiat of Attorney General.

Reasons and Objects.

There has recently sprung up in this Colony a pernicious practice of administering, by injection or otherwise, prepar- ations of Morphine in cases where such treatment would not be prescribed by any duly qualified medical man. Large numbers of ignorant Chinese coolies are now habitually resorting to places recently opene-l where for a small charge they receive injections of Morphine administered by unqualified persons who thereby derive pecuniary profit. There is reason also to believe that preparations of Mor- phine in various forms are largely taken by persons other ways than by injection and in cases where no duly qualified medical man would prescribe such treatment. The object of this Bill is to render such practices illegal, and to bring the possession, consumption and administration. of Morphine under regulation.

The following Despatch from the Secretary of State transmitting copy of a note from the Chinese Minister, with reference to the Yellow River Inundation in 1887, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th instant, is published.

No. 97.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

9th June, 1895

I have the honour to transmit to you, for your information, the document noted below relative to the Yellow River inundation in 1887, which has been received from the Foreign Office.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

The Officer administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

Copy.

The

Date.

R. H. MEADE,

for the Secretary of State,

Description of Document.

Copy of a note from the Chinese Minister to the Foreign Office.

CHINESE LEGATION,

June 2nd, 1893.

MY LORD.

In 1887 when, by the inundation caused by the bursting of the banks of the Yellow River, a very large tract of country was devastated and many tens of thousands of the Chinese people were reduced to the direst distress, Sir W. DES V?ux, the late Governor of Hongkong, raised a large fund for the relief of the sufferers.

The Viceroy of the Leang Kiang province, in whose Government the floods principally occurred acknowledged the service the Governor had thereby rendered to China, at the time, but until lately when I brought the circumstance to the notice of the Emperor, His Majesty had not, owing to the subsequent illness and death of the Viceroy, been made acquainted of it, and thus it happens that up to the present no official recognition of His Excellency's philanthropic action has been

accorded.

It is now my pleasant duty to repair the omission. The Emperor, my August Master, was profoundly touched with the signal exemplification afforded by the sympathetic conduct of the Hongkong community of the Confucian maxim which asserts the common brotherhood of all manner of men living without the bounds of the four seas; and has commanded me to convey to Sir W. DES V?ux, and through him, to those who, whether by their co-operation or their subscriptions, so nobly seconded him in his benevolent and successful exertions, the expression of His Majesty's heartfelt thanks for the timely assistance they rendered to His then sorely and calamity stricken people.

I have the honour to request that Your Lordship will have the goodness to cause these acknowledgments from my Imperial and August Master to be transmitted to Sir W. DES V?ux and, in order that they may reach the Hongkong Community, to His Excellency the present Governor of the Colony.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. -No. 322.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory for 1892, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th August, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY,

29th March, 1893.

   SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1892 to His Excellency the Governor. My eighth volume of observations and researches was published last summer and the ninth volume is in the printers' hands. It contains, in addition to this report, investigations of the typhoons of 1892, the meteorological observations made every hour in 1892, and also hourly readings of tides in 1889, observations on the duration of sunshine in Formosa and on rain-fall in China during the years 1890,

1891 and 1892.

   2. The branch Observatory at the Peak, suggested by General PALMER, R.E., 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, but a self-recording anemograph has been ordered from London. When this is properly worked at the Peak and the readings correctly and immediately telegraphed every hour to the Observatory across the harbour, it is estimated that its value will amount to about half the value of the branch Observatory, the construction of which has been so long delayed. Observations are now also made every three hours at the Gap Rock lighthouse and cabled (during the day-time only) to the Observatory. If these observations are made and transmitted properly, they will be of considerable assistance to weather-forecasts and storm-warnings. The observations at Victoria Peak were found not to be made in a sufficiently honest or careful manner and His Excellency ordered them to be discontinued last year and the instruments to be removed. Pending the arrival of the anemograph, the direction and force of the wind is estimated every hour from 7 a. to 7 p. and telegraphed to the Observatory, but the information is not always trustworthy and at times misleading.

   3. The China Coast Meteorological Register, based on information received from the Eastern Extension, and Great Northern Telegraph Companies, and Chinese Telegraph Administration, was issued as usual, and since the 1st July a short provisional account of the typhoons has been printed at the end of every month in the Gazette by order of His Excellency the Governor. The positions of the typhoon-centres are given for every day on which warnings were issued and the accuracy of the latter may be inferred from the former. The stations at Swatow, Amoy, Foochow and Anping were visited last year by Mr. F. G. FIGG, and the stations at Macao, Hoihow and Haiphong by myself. Some very necessary improvements were effected, and the stations at Bolinao, Pakhoi and Cape St. James should be visited next. Telegrams from one or two ports between the latter station and Haiphong are urgently required.

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

10

5. Telegraphic connection with Victoria was interrupted on the 8th January, 1892, from 6 p. to p., on the 20th April, from 7 a. to 10.40 a., on the 27th August, from 3.45 p. to 4.32 p., and on the 3rd November from 10 a. to 4.23 p. Interruptions occurred therefore on 4 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 every hour to the Observatory) was interrupted from the 16th June at 7 a. to the 23rd June at 2 p., and also from 10 a. to 4 p., on the 4th August, ie. on 9 days as well as during thunderstorms.

   6. Telegrams giving information about typhoons were issued on 61 days. The Red Drum was hoisted 4 times, Red Ball i, Red North Cone 1, Red South Cone 2, Black Drum 3, Black Ball 1, Black North Cone 2, Black South Cone 3, Lanterns (horizontally) 3, and Lanterns (vertically) 1 times. The Gun was not fired in 1892.

7. During 1892, in addition to meteorological registers kept regularly at about 40 stations on shore, 558 ship-logs with entries during typhoons were copied. 157 were forwarded by the Captains or Owners, and 401 were copied on board ship in the harbour. The ship-logs received in 1892 were thus distributed: for 1888, i log; for 1889, 8 logs; for 1890, 10 logs; for 1891, 52 logs; for 1892, 487 logs. But the information concerning typhoons during these years was not yet complete on the 1st January, 1893. The following number was still required: for 1888, 12 logs; for 1889, 14 logs; for 1890, 13 logs; for 1891, 17 logs; for 1892, 41 logs. The total number of ships, whose log-books have been made use of, was 270. The total number of days' observations was 5278. This number might with advantage be increased. The difficulty is that we are all so closely engaged in the Observatory, that no more than one of us at a time can be spared for visiting ships in the harbour, and he can devote only half his hours of duty to work afloat. Every vessel entering the harbour ought to be boarded, and every log-book found to be properly kept ought to be copied. That would be useful for storm-warnings.

 9. All the observations made at noon each day during the typhoon seasons of the past five years have been reduced and tabulated and have served for the construction of weather-maps on the basis of which the typhoons that occurred during the past five years will be investigated.

10. With the view of enabling masters of vessels to know before-hand the weather that may be expected on voyages and to select the most favourable routes during the different months of the year, all the observations hitherto collected are being distributed according to degrees of latitude and longitude, the twelve months being treated separately. Means will be taken as soon as sufficient data are entered and they will serve for the construction of maps showing the most probable values of the meteoro- logical elements in each square degree between Singapore and 180° E. Gr., and between 0° and 45° latitude. Owners, agents and captains having access to old log-books have been invited to forward

them to me in order that the observations may be utilised, after which the log-books will be returned. The routes followed by those lines of steamers that supply most information will, of course, be supplied with the most trustworthy information concerning the weather.

11. Unfortunately there is no prospect of additional clerical help for a purpose so useful to the shipping as this undoubtedly is. The immense bulk of records from stations on shore is not utilised for anything beyond investigations of typhoons.

12. Copies of the China Const Meteorological Register with weather-forecasts for the following 24 hours are sent daily to the newspapers in time for insertion in the extra-number issued by each of them about noon. None of the papers prints it regularly before evening or even next morning, whereby of course their subscribers lose any benefit they might derive from the weather-forecasts. Moreover they all print the register very incorrectly. They issue news about typhoons which are derived from various sources and which are as a rule incorrect. Such items are mixed up with information supplied from the Observatory and tend to mislead the public. Although the meteorological signals and storm- warnings are issued in the interest of the shipping, and intelligent seamen are not so easily deceived as the public at large, it would still be a great improvement to have the China Coast Meteorological Register printed daily without delay and in a correct form. The subscriptions are sure to cover the expense. The cost of printing a daily weather-report is provided for by the Government in connection with every other Meteorological Office in the Empire. The information issued in 1892, concerning typhoons, is printed below (Appendix 4.). The amount of accuracy obtained may be ascertained by comparison with the report on typhoons in 1892 (Appendix B.).

13. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc.," (KELLY AND WALSII, 1892), meteorological instruments forwarded by observers, who regularly send their registers to the Observatory, are verified here free of cost. During the past year, 11 barometers, 2 aneroids, and 66 thermometers were verified. A couple of hundred aneroids or marine barometers on board ship were also compared witli the Observatory standard.

15. The tide-tables for 1893 are based upon the analysis of the hourly readings of tides in 1887 and 1888. The hourly readings for 1889 are now published. The harmonic analysis will be done in England under the supervision of Professor G. H. DARWIN. The readings for Mean Sea Level in 1889 were as follows:-January 6.00, February 5.81, March 5.55, April 5.68, May 5.72, June 5.56, Year 5.88. July 5.37, August 5.52, September 6.05, October 6.29, November 6.79, December 6.20. Average of three years 5.86.

 The highest readings in 1889 were as follows:-January 10.05, February 10.65, March 9.20, April 9.35, May 9.55, June 10.15, July 10.00, August 9.55, September 9.80, October 10.65, November 10.60, December 10.50.

 The lowest readings in 1889 were as follows:-January 1.35, February 2.10, March 2.25, April 1.75, May 1.55, June 1.60, July 1.25, August 1.40, September 1.90, October 2.30, November 1.85, December 1.25.

The highest reading during the three years was 10.65 and the lowest 1.10.

16. The number of transits observed in 1892 was 389, and the inclination of the axis was deter- mined 141 times. The rates of the standard clocks are exhibited in the following tables. They are compared with the rates calculated from the formula exhibited at the head of the tables. Both clock- rates show the existence of waves. In case of Dent's clock the periods and amplitudes are larger, which make the errors appear to be twice as large as in case of Brock's clock, where the periods are shorter. The probable deviation of each ten-day rate from the preceding rate is 0.08 in case of Dent's clock, and 0.07 in case of Brock's. When it is taken into account that the former was cleaned and re-started later than the latter, it appears that one goes just as well as the other and equal weight is therefore given to them every morning when they are compared with the time-ball clock for setting the latter to correct time. Sir HOWARD GRUBB's chronograph is working extremely well.

  17. As stated in the time-ball notice published in the Government Gazette on the 10th January, 1885, the time-ball is not dropped on Sundays or on Government holidays. It was, however, dropped also on Sundays in 1892, except when any assistant was sick or absent on duty or leave. On the 3rd, 4th and 5th of March, the apparatus was under repair and the ball was not hoisted. On the 22nd April, a thunderstorm raged in the neighbourhood. On the 2nd May,

                   On the 2nd May, a wire in the lock was found fused by lightning. On the 11th of May, the line was out of order. On the 16th June, a thunderstorm was raging. On the 8th of August, the key of the tower was forgotten. On these days the ball was not hoisted. On the 23rd November, the ball failed to drop, the tooth of the lock being so worn that the piston would not rest on it. The ball was therefore dropped 345 times, and failed once in 1892:-

18. An extension of the main-building is urgently required as the Observatory is not nearly of the dimensions recommended by General H. S. PALMER, R E., twelve years ago. In fact, the building was not hitherto properly finished, the pendant to the west to correspond to the transit-room towards the east not yet having been built. There is a drawing of it in the Office of Public Works, constructed by Mr. J. M. PRICE, the architect, who built the Observatory. Besides my private apartments and the laboratories, most of which are too small, there is only one office for the accommodation of the whole staff. It is 13 feet broad and 20 feet long. The telegraph and telephone apparatus are in the same room. There are often six officials working together, the same room being occupied almost constantly day and night. In a climate like this such overcrowding is undesirable. In other depart- ments the different foreign officials have each a separate office apart from the natives. In or ler to carry out the investigations printed in Appendix B I had to give the assistants the use of my dining- room, although that caused me very grave inconvenience and some expense.

19. Some of the principal duties of the staff are distributed as follows, the number of hours during which each official attended during the year being added in parenthesis:

Mr. J. I. PLUMMER, Chief Assistant, (1853 hours), makes astronomical and magnetic observations,-the latter under Mr. FIGG's superintendence,-regulates clocks and copies ship-logs.

Mr. F. G. FIGG, First Assistant, (2047 hours), attends to storm-warnings and investigations of typhoons. He teaches all the other assistants and does any work which is too difficult for them.

Miss A. DOBERCK, Assistant Meteorologist, (883 hours in half a year) issues weather-forecasts and daily meteorological registers, and attends to meteorological observations and tabulations. Mr. Ho TOSHANG, Second Assistant, (1936 hours), hoists and sets the time-ball and attends to the continuous records and the construction of the monthly and annual reports, in which he is assisted by two native clerks, one (2048 hours), of whom besides attends to electric, and the other (2083 hours), to photographic work.

20. Observations of magnetic declination and horizontal force were made with the unifilar mag- netometer, Elliott Brothers, No. 55, and the dips were observed with dip-circle, Dover No. 71. Some deflections which were badly observed were excluded and are printed in parenthesis.

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 HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 819

π

the unifilar magnetometer, Elliott Brothers, No. 55." The value of log 2 K was 3.44955 at 25°. The value of P' was + 8.732. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.46028 in English Units and 600.93 in C.G.S. Units.

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

   21. The cisterns of the barograph and standard barometers are placed 109 feet above M.S.L. The bulbs of the thermometers are rotated 108 feet above M.S.L., 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 M.S.L., and 21 inches above the ground.

22. 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 temperature of the air and of evaporation as determined by aid of rotating thermometers. Table II. exhibits also the extreme temperatures reduced to rotating thermo- meter. Table III. exhibits also the solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum temperatures reduced to Kew arbitrary standard.

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

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

   Table VI. exhibits the amount of rain (or dew) in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. It exhibits also the estimated duration of rain.

   Table VII. exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles and its direction in points (1-32). The velocity 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 the amount (0-10), name (Howard's classification) 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.

   Table IX. 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.

Below this is printed a list of phenomena observed.

23. The following annual Weather Report for 1892, is arranged as follows:-

   Table V. exhibits the mean values for the year (or hourly excess above this) obtained from the monthly reports. The total duration of rain was 996 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on 141 days.

   Table VI. exhibits the number of hours during portion of which at least 0.005 inch of rain (or dew) was registered.

   Table VII. 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 VIII. 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. A slight earthquake was noticed about 10 a on the 22nd April.

on the 22nd April. Afterglows stronger than usual were noticed since the 15th December.

Table IX. shows the frequency of clouds of different classes. Table X. is arranged nearly the same as in previous years.

   Table XI. exhibits the monthly and annual extremes. The extremes of humidity and vapour tension are only approximate as the hourly values are not calculated.

Table XII. contains five-day means.

Tables XIII., XIV. and XV. contain magnetic observations.

THE TYPHOONS IN 1892.

By W. Doberck and F. G. Figg.

829

  It appears that typhoons in the China Sea originate in elongated slight depressions, which some- times but rarely lie across the Philippines as well as the China Sea, but usually exist only over the sea. To the north of them it blows moderate NE breezes and south of them somewhat less strongly from the SW. The NE breezes reach generally only as far as northern Formosa in summer, but in autumn the NE (and farther north the NW) monsoon blows much farther north. Sometimes the SW breezes to the south of the axis of the depression are stronger than the NE breezes to the north of it, and extend apparently down to the equator and are probably a continuation of the SE trade. To the E of these depressions in the Philippines there are light S and SE breezes. In Annam it probably blows from the N. In summer these depressions begin with rising pressure in the interior of China. In autumn it seems the pressure rises slightly near the equator and SW winds extend gradually northward over the China Sea. In January and February depressions do not occur. During the rest of the year they occur about once a month on an average. During the summer months and in autumn they usually give rise to a typhoon or a small circular depression. The troughlike depression then ceases to exist. In spring they do not alter into typhoons but cease to exist owing to the NE monsoon filling them and spreading to the southward.

  The depressions have their major axes lying E and W, or ENE and WSW. Their average latitude from June to September is 16° N, later more southerly, and in November perhaps 10' N. They do not appear to move at all, and they may be traced for 3 or 4 days. The barometer is read little more than a tenth of an inch lower in the axis than along the coasts all round them. Along these coasts light winds circulate against the hands of a watch. In such depressions the weather is squally and wet, and the wind variable,-frequently in heavy squalls with great downpour of rain, but thunder is seldom heard. It appears that in such squalls S wind happens to extend itself northwards and N wind south- wards, and revolving storms are thereby generated. If this occurs in the middle of the China Sea, it is likely to give rise to a typhoon. Of course, it more often happens that a circular storm originates near the E and W corner of the elongated depression as the winds there already revolve as in a rotary storm except to the W or E of the centre forming, so that the N or respectively S squalls need only gain ground on one side, but in such cases only minor circular depressions or very small typhoons are originated.

  The heavy rain is, of course, not the cause of the phenomena, for the rain itself is caused by the air rising in the axis of these depressions, also the water vapour condensing gives out heat and thus in the first instance makes the mercury rise in the barometer before a squall, but there cannot be any doubt that the quantity of water-vapour condensed to form perhaps 10 inches of rain per day, and whose pressure is thus abstracted from the barometric pressure of the air, causes the permanency of the depressions. It is different with the rainfall in the SW monsoon. That is spread over a large area and does not give rise to a low pressure in one spot surrounded by higher pressures.

It is rather difficult to say whether a depression in the China Sea, when its existence has been ascertained, is a typhoon or only a minor disturbance, but if the indications explained in the "Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas" (Hongkong 1886) are observed exactly as laid down in the pamphlet, then it is certain to be a typhoon. A minor depression gives signs less well marked and more confused.

When the wind rises in a typhoon it blows in gusts and the mercury heaves in the barometer. When the wind has reached force 11 it blows in fierce squalls of sometimes from 10 to 15 minutes duration, while the mercury heaves up and down as much as a tenth of an inch. The mercury often gives a jump upwards as the wind begins to veer in a squall. Then it drops down and gives another jump upward as the wind comes back to nearly its old direction. During these squalls an enormous quantity of rain falls in a few minutes. The temperature falls and rises a fraction of a degree a more. The wind does not return to quite the former direction, except just in front of the centre. At the time when the centre is nearest, a fierce squall is usually felt and in that squall the direction of the wind changes considerably and the barometer begins to rise. The squalis appear to be caused by an up-and-down movement of the air. As the air comes rushing down, the raindrops tend to evaporate in the hotter stratum near the earth's surface and owing to the increased tension of water-vapour, the barometer (after a fall caused by the cold of evaporation) begins to rise. The wind veers towards the direction of the wind above, which latter is known from the motion of the clouds. Then the air starts to rise with a deluge of rain, caused by the condensation of vapour arriving at the cooler stratum above, while the barometer (after a rise caused by the heat of liquefaction) drops down owing to the cessation of the pressure of water-vapour condensed into the rain fallen, and the wind resumes the direction determined by the central depression; for the latter is so great in a typhoon and gradients so steep near the centre, that subsidiary depressions have never occurred in the China Sea.

Within 75 miles of the centre of a typhoon, or within 50 miles in case of a small typhoon, the angle between the direction towards which the wind is blowing and the direction in which the centre is

830

situated is 50° in the northern part of the China Sea and in the southern part of the sea it is 40°. The centre bears 12 points from the wind. North of Formosa it bears 10 points from the wind. Near the centre the wind does not blow in a circle round the centre as is sometimes stated concerning hurri- canes elsewhere.

About on an average 150 miles from the centre the incurvature in front and in the dangerous semi-circle is 3 points, ie. the centre bears 11 points from the wind. In the manageable semi-circle it is 4 points, i.e. the centre bears 12 points from the wind. In rear it is 5 points, .e. the centre bears 13 points from the wind. It will be remarked that the wind blows across the path in front and helps a vessel to run across the path in front of the centre keeping the wind on the starboard quarter 3 points from the stern. In rear the wind blows more straight in towards the centre.

At places farther from the centre the wind's incurvature towards the centre is greater eg. at a distance of 200 miles the centre bears on an average 13 points from the wind. At distances above 300 miles the centre bears about 15 points from the wind. On the weather maps the light winds at a dist- ance from the centre appear to blow almost straight towards the typhoon. It is only when the wind- velocity increases that the rotation of the earth and subsequently centrifugal force cause the air particles to deviate from the straight line from high to low pressure.

The prevailing wind carries the centre along with it and combines with the rotary storm causing the wind in the right-hand (the dangerous) semi-circle to be stronger and to blow more nearly round the centre, than in the left (the manageable) semi-circle, where the wind is more moderate and has greater

incurvature.

In the daily tables of observations made at noon at the stations the first column shows the readings of the barometer (corrected and reduced to sea level), the second column shows their change since noon on the previous day (+ means a rise, a fall). The third and fourth columns show direction and force of wind, and the fifth the weather. In the observations made at noon and taken from ship logs the first column is the latitude, the second the longitude, the third the barometer reading (with all corrections applied as accurately as possible in each case), the fourth and fifth wind direction and force, and the sixth weather. The bearing of the ship and its distance in miles is sometimes given after the second column, and for the stations the same is sometimes given before the first column.

Plates I, II and III exhibit the paths of the typhoons in 1892 except the typhoon in the beginning of November in the Gulf of Siam. There were 21 in all. The positions of the centres are given at noon (local time) for the date marked. Where the curves are dotted, they are only approximately

correct.

Plate IV exhibits six figures. Figure 1 shows a typhoon from July 20th at noon to the 22nd at noon inclusive. The isobars for 29.20, 29.30, 29.40, and 29.50 are drawn. The wind-directions are shown by aid of continuous curves. The forces are shown in figures, and the direction of the motion of the centre is shown by a barbed arrow. Figure 2 shows a typhoon from August 16th at 9 p. to the 17th at 9 p. inclusive. The isobars for 29.30, 29.40, and 29.50 are drawn. Figure 3 shows a typhoon from September 6th at noon to the 8th at 6 a. inclusive. The isobars for 29.00, 29.10, 29.20, 29.30, and 29.40 are drawn. The motion of the centre is shown by a barbed arrow. The arrows in the lower part of the figure shows the directions of divergent winds. Figure 4 shows a typhoon from October 10th at 9 a. to the 11th at noon inclusive. There are no isobars in this figure. Figure 5 is a weather-map for noon of the 17th August. The isobars for 29.30, 29.40, 29.50, and 29.60 are drawn. The wind-direc- tions and forces observed on shore and on board ship are shown. The arrows fly with the wind. Figure 6 is a weather-map for noon on the 18th September. The isobars for 29.30. 29.40, 29.50, and 29.60 are drawn. The wind is shown the same as above. The top of the plate is N and the bottom is S. A scale of 100 miles is shown in figure 4. That applies to all the figures on plate IV.

  On the 4th and 5th June, 1892, the barometer was falling generally on the China Coast and in Luzon and light to moderate SW winds were prevalent. On the 6th a recovery

                          On the 6th a recovery of pressure took place along the China Coast particularly in the North and the wind became chiefly NE light to strong breezes. Two vessels in the neighbourhood of the northern entrance of the Formosa Channel reported fresh NE gales. The weather was chiefly overcast on the South Coast with light rain at most stations and tem- perature had decreased. At Hongkong there had been a slight thunderstorm during the early morning hours. Vessels in the northern part of the China Sea had light variable winds and steady barometer. Farther South the S. S. Chingtu had a falling barometer and light SE breezes. The S. "S. Ingraban had light variable airs, squally weather and swell. The S. S. Memnon still farther South had a steady barometer, fresh SW breeze and squally weather. At Cape St. James there was a strong SW breeze, squally weather and a swell.

The following are some of the observations for the 6th June at noon:-

It

appears, therefore, that there was an area of deficient pressure across the China Sea, perhaps between the parallels of 14° and 18° N where the barometer was falling and light variable winds pre- vailed. On the Northern side of this area NE light to strong breezes were blowing and on the Southern side fresh SW breezes. Probably a disturbance was forming at this time.

Towards evening on the SE coast, the barometer commenced to fall, the weather was wet generally and fresh NE breezes continued. At Hoihow there were heavy NE squalls with thunder and lightning. At Hongkong heavy rain was falling, the lower clouds coming from East. North of Foochow it was dry, but cloudy.

On the 7th June the barometer was still falling slowly on the SE coast and much the same wind and weather prevailed as on the previous evening except that the rain was less heavy. The barometer was also falling in Luzon with light S breezes and cloudy weather. At Cape St. James there was a strong SW breeze. Those vessels in the neighbourhood of Hainan were experiencing N to NE moderate gales with rain squalls and high sca. The S. S. Rio farther South had SW to NW moderate breezes

and showery weather.

Conditions were almost unchanged during the latter part of the day. Observations at noon on the 7th June:-

On the 8th June the weather on the SE coast had improved somewhat, there was no rain and it was less cloudy on the whole. The barometer was, however, falling slightly and NE light to moderate breezes prevailed. In Hoihow the barometer was rising and fresh NE breezes were blowing, weather cloudy. In Luzon the barometer was falling with light S breezes and overcast weather. At Cape St. James the weather was squally with a strong W breeze. Vessels in the China Sea to the East of Cochin China and Annam had moderate to fresh W and SW breezes while those to the NE of Hainan and South of Hongkong had fresh breezes to moderate gales from the NE with cloudy squally weather.

The Venetia at 8 p.n. in 18° 23', 114° 12′ had barometer (29.61) falling, NE 4, and rain squalls. The Nizam steering about NNE had at midnight WSW 4, barometer 29.71 confused swell from NW and SW and lightning was noted in the NE.

It appears that on the 7th and 8th there was no well defined centre, but a diffused depression existing around the position 16° to 17° N and 115° E.

By noon on the 9th June a great change may be remarked. The barometer had fallen very considerably at Bolinao and at S. Cape; less so on the SE coast while it was rising in Hainan and the Gulf of Tongking. The wind had again freshened from the NE in Southern China. In Northern Luzon light SE breezes blew. Weather was cloudy for the most part, and it was raining at S. Cape. In Hoihow the sky had cleared. At Hongkong the direction of the lower clouds which had been from E on the 8th backed to NE on the morning of the 9th. The centre of Typhoon I. was perhaps in 18°, 117° moving NEward at noon on June 9th.

The observations for June 9th at noon were as follows (the approximate bearing and distance in miles of the observer seen from the centre is added after the name of the station or the place of the vessel):-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 833

During the evening the barometer continued to rise slowly in Hainan with light variable airs and fine weather. At Hongkong the barometer was steady with E 2 and cloudy sky. The lighthouses in the Formosa Channel had strong NE breezes and in some instances a moderate gale, weather cloudy and barometer steady.

In Southern Formosa, the barometer was falling moderately fast (S. Cape 200 miles NE of centre at midnight, 29.60) with NE 5 overcast sky and at S. Cape drizzling rain. At Bolinao, 180 miles SE of centre, the barometer (at 9 p. 29.58) was falling, the wind SSE 2 with heavy rain. The lower clouds came from SE.

The S. S. Zafiro steering about NW by N had the wind veering from SW 4 at noon, to NW 6 at 10 p.m. with high confused sea and squally weather. The barometer fell 0.11 between noon and midnight and at the latter hour read 29.50. On the 10th at 4 a. she had the barometer lowest (29.45) with N 6, rain squalls and a high sea. Her complete log for the 9th to 11th is appended. The centre appears to have crossed in front of her course about noon on the 9th. The Venetia was at midnight on the 9th in 13° 46', 112' 34', (SW 400) the barometer was rising (29.69) wind W 4 and weather wet with thunder and lightning. H.M.S. Porpoise at anchor in Manila Bay had SW 4 and wet squally weather during the afternoon and evening.

On the 10th June the barometer was still falling at all stations in the neighbourhood of the Formosa Channel particularly at S. Cape. Winds were chiefly NE light to strong breezes with cloudy squally weather and rain in S. Formosa. In Hongkong and to the Westward the barometer was steady and light airs were prevalent. At Bolinao there were light S breezes with wet weather and a rising barometer. At sea, South East of Hainan, light to moderate N breezes prevailed with high sea and swell and in the district to the East of Annam moderate SW breezes with squally weather. The Zafiro about 120 miles West of the centre had NNW 6, wet squally weather and heavy sea. The barometer was rising as she was then steering away from the depression. The centre at noon on the 10th was in 1950, 1199.

At Hongkong during the evening the barometer was rising slightly with light variable airs and fine but cloudy weather. The lower clouds came from NNE, but the direction of the upper (c-str) clouds could not be obtained. At the stations on the SE coast the barometer was steady with light to moderate NE breezes and cloudy weather. At the lighthouse stations in the Formosa Channel, it was blowing a moderate to fresh NE gale with cloudy weather. At some stations north of the Channel the barometer was rising slightly with light winds and fine weather. At S. Cape (at 9

At S. Cape (at 9 p. NE 120) the barometer showed a rise (at 9 p. 29.63), wind NE 4 with rain squalls. At Bolinao (S 270) the barometer was rising, wind S 2 with rain at 4 p.m. and the lower clouds from SW.

The Sungkiang at midnight (NNW 90 miles) in about 22, 119° had strong NE wind overcast weather, high sea and barometer (23.71) falling rapidly. She was bound southward having left Amoy for Manila in the morning and was advancing almost directly towards the centre. The Esmeralda which left Amoy for Manila at 4 p.m. had at midnight NE 6, high sea, barometer falling rapidly, (reading uncertain). The Zafiro had the barometer rising during the evening (29.66 at 8 p.) with N 4 and heavy The Yiksang in 15°, 120° at 8 p.m. had the barometer slightly rising (29.75), SW 6 and high sea.

834 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

On the 11th June the barometer was slowly rising at Hongkong, there was a light W air and the sky was partially clouded. The lower clouds came from W. At Hoihow the barometer was also rising with light variable airs and fine weather. On the SE coast and at the stations in the Formosa Channel the barometer had fallen a little for the most part and farther north the fall was more decided. In the Channel the NE winds had for this reason decreased somewhat in force. The weather was chiefly overcast. At the Formosa stations there had been on an average a slight increase of pressure since noon of the previous day, but the weather had become very wet and squally at Anping and Fisher Island as well as at S. Cape.

From the log of the Sungkiang, which is annexed, it will be seen that during the early morning hours the barometer was falling quickly and the wind increasing in force (at 6 a.m. NE 7). An attempt to heave the ship to at this time met with failure. After the direction backed gradually still increasing in force, at 8 a.m. a strong N gale was experienced with the lowest reading of the barometer shortly after (at 8.30 a.m. 29.26). The barometer rose slightly during the following two hours (at 10 a. 29.29) and the wind backed to NW by N force 9. There was heavy rain and high confused sea. Later the barometer rose quickly, (at 2 p.m. 29.56) and the wind continued to back towards W at the same time decreasing in force. The centre must have been within 30 miles to the E of the ship's position at 9 a.m. and was at the time moving NNEward.

The Esmeralda was hove to some time during the early morning, the barometer falling rapidly and the NE wind increasing in force. At 7 a.m. she was estimated to be in 22°02′, 118°38′ or about NW/W 80 miles from the centre. At 8 a.m. she had a NNE gale with heavy rain squalls and swell. The main trysail was set to steady the ship. The lowest reading of the barometer was registered at this time but as two barometers were read and entered in the log the readings cannot be made use of. The barometer had risen at noon but the wind continued a NNE gale with thick rainy weather. At 4

                                                            p.m. the wind backed to N and moderated and the vessel was put on her course to the Southward. At noon this vessel was about 90 miles NW by W of the centre. The Yiksang and Porpoise, off the coast of Luzon to the West of Bolinao, had rising barometer, moderate to strong SW breezes, squally weather with thunder and lightning. They were just over 250 miles SSW of the centre.

On the 11th at noon the centre was in 21°30', 119°15'. The depression had increased much in intensity during the previous 24 hours and at the centre there was now a pressure of at least 0.5 inch below the normal.

During the evening of the 11th the barometer was steady at Hongkong with light SW to W airs and cloudy weather. At the stations on the SE coast the barometer was almost steady and the winds were chiefly light NE airs with cloudy weather. At Lamocks at 9 p.m. the barometer read 29.72 with NE 3 cloudy. At the lighthouses towards the Northern part of the Formosa Channel it was blowing from NNE a strong breeze to moderate gale, the barometer was falling and the sky clouded. In N Formosa the barometer was falling with light airs and calms at Keelung and passing showers.

At Fisher Is., Anping, Takow, and S. Cape the barometer was falling sharply. At Fisher Is. at 9 p.m. 29.61 NE 7. At Anping 29.60 NE 4. At Takow 29.59 SE 2. At S. Cape. 29.61 S7. The sky was overcast with drizzling rain at Fisher Is., rain at Takow, showery and squally at S. Cape. At the latter station the wind had gradually veered since morning and increased in force. At Anping there was a heavy WSW swell.

   On the 12th June at Takow the barometer attained the lowest reading (29.27) at 2.30 a.m. It had been falling rapidly during the past few hours. At 3 a.m. it also read 29.27 but by 4 a.m. it had risen rapidly (29.45). Unfortunately the wind and weather were not noted, the remark beside the hourly readings of the barometer being merely "Typhoon from NE". Anping had at 3 a.m. N 9 barometer 29.46 with gloomy sky. The lowest reading was at 4 a.m. 29.43 with the wind backing. At 9 a.m. the wind had backed as far as WNW 6 rain was falling and the barometer had risen to 29.74. At this time Takow had 29.74 NW 5 and rain. S. Cape had the lowest barometer reading (29.57) at 3 a.. with SSW 8 and rain squalls. The wind gradually veered to WNW at noon and blew a fresh gale the whole time with rain squalls, barometer at 9 a.m. 29.69. At the Lamocks the lowest barometer was at 3 a.m. (29.67) with W 2 and sky partially clouded. Later the wind became SW 2. On the SE coast the barometer was almost steady with light S and SW airs and fine weather for the most part. The barometer had further fallen at Keelung (reading doubtful) and at the lighthouse stations at the N entrance to the Channel. At the former station the weather was wet and squally with a light NW air increasing to a moderate breeze at noon. Tamsui, a few miles distant from Keelung, had gentle to strong SW breeze during the middle of the day. Southerly winds were spreading quickly Northwards to the East coast where the barometer was falling considerably. In N Luzon light to moderate S and SW breezes with rising barometer prevailed.

The only vessel in the vicinity of the depression was the S.S. Paoting. She was at noon on the 11th in 23°58', 117°51′ bound for Anping, and at midnight had a strong NNE breeze and heavy sea barometer 29.55. At 4 a.m. on the 12th she had a fresh NNW gale increasing, with heavy S sea barometer 29.46 and at this time the ship was "turned back for shelter."

turned back for shelter." It is estimated that she was then within 50 miles WNW of the centre.

The Yiksang and Porpoise had the wind veering as they proceeded NWward, and during the morning they had W and NW light airs and breezes; the weather was fine but there was a heavy Northerly swell.

   The centre passed almost over Takow about 3 a.m. moving Eastwards and crossed Formosa during the morning. At noon it was perhaps in 23,° 122°.

   During the afternoon and evening the barometer rose at the S. Formosa stations, and at Takow and Anping winds became light variable airs. At S. Cape the wind continued to blow from about W a moderate breeze during the evening. The weather improved at all these stations. At Keelung the barometer was rising with fine weather and light NW air.

   The depression cannot be traced after the 12th but it probably moved NEward in the Pacific. No observations to the Eastward of Formosa are available, this portion of the Pacific being out of the regular track of vessels and this is at all times a great drawback in the investigation of typhoons passing in the neighbourhood of Formosa.

The depression appears to have been forming between the 6th and 8th and it was not until the 9th that it attained to any considerable development. The diameter of the inner area, i.e., area of strong winds and a considerably diminished pressure, was at all times very small and the depression at the centre scarcely exceeded 0.5 inch. It has been already shown (comp. "Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas" by W. Doberck) that strong NE winds blow in the Formosa Channel while a typhoon is yet at a considerable distance to the SWestward and in this depression this was again noticed to be the case. sea there was thunder and lightning to the S and SW of the centre. Takow had the greatest rainfall, 8.30 inches, which fell during the 24 hours previous to 9 a.m. on the 12th.

After the 12th of June SW winds light to moderate in force prevailed in Southern China, but the barometer was falling again on the 13th and 14th. There was, however, on the 15th a rise at the stations north of the S entrance to the Formosa Channel, but moderate S and SW breezes blew over the entire coast between Pakhoi and Foochow until the evening. At Hongkong the barometer was steady and there was a fresh SW breeze during the day. Later the wind fell light and the direction became SE for a few hours. At this time heavy rain with thunder and lightning commenced, the clouds coming from SW. Winds in the N part of the Formosa Channel had become NE 4.

On the 16th heavy rains with thunderstorms spread over the entire SE coast lasting until the 20th. There appears to have been a trough of slightly low pressure moving up from the southward, to the N of which, the wind was NE and E and in the rear SW on an average. After the passage northwards of this area of slightly diminished pressure SW winds became general over the greater part of the coast and the rains ceased.

The greatest fall for the periods stated in the table given below was received at Hongkong (23.7 inches). Pakhoi, which has rather high land to the eastward, had somewhat less. Hoihow, on the N coast of Hainan, was the exception to the general rainfall though the weather was very squally with threatening rainy appearance. The mountainous district to the southward may account for this. The fall diminished greatly in amount at the stations on the SE coast in the Formosa Channel and in Formosa, -with the exception of Fisher Island (21.6 inches) an exposed situation near the S entrance to the Channel-and appears to have ceased entirely a little to the northward of Foochow. S. Cape received a very small amount as compared with other districts :-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

After the 20th June SW winds blew more or less steadily on the China Coast and in the China Sea until the 25th when there was a tendency for winds to become more easterly with falling barometer on the SE Coast. In Luzon the fall in the barometer was more marked. At Manila, the wind was NNE 1 with drizzling rain. Vessels in the northern part of the China Sea had mostly SE light and moderat? breezes with the direction backing. The S. S. Amicitia was bound from Iloilo to Hongkong and on the evening of the 24th experienced a moderate NW breeze with wet squally weather and barometer (at midnight 29.81) falling. On the 25th she had N and NW fresh breezes, barometer at midnight 29.73. The weather was improving. There may possibly have been a depression in about 12°, 121°, but this is

At the stations in S. China on the 27th June fine weather and light E breezes chiefly prevailed, the barometer being almost steady. In SW Luzon the barometer had risen somewhat since the previous day and the weather was fine with light to moderate SE breezes. The Memnon now had a moderate SW breeze and fine weather, and the Picciola light S breezes barometer at 4 p. 29.76, weather fine. In the district of the China Sea to the south of Hongkong several vessels had E to NE moderate breezes. The barque Nicoya and ship Sterling had squally showery weather. To the East of Annam light variable airs and calms prevailed. The Kiel and Electra had light N breezes and the barometer had fallen slightly since the previous day.

There was a distinct cyclonic circulation of winds around the centre of the China Sea, but not well marked on the western side, and possibly the central area of depression may have been in about 15°, 116°. No ship log has been received within 200 miles of this position.

   On the 28th June the barometer had fallen slightly in S. China since the previous day. Light E airs and breeze prevailed with cloudy and in some cases showery weather. At Hongkong the weather was showery with thunder and lightning. During the two previous days c-str and c-cum clouds had been observed coming from N, the lower clouds were from E and ESE. In Luzon there was a slight increase of

pressure

with light variable airs and breezes and fine weather. To the East of Cochin China several vessels had light S airs and calms with fine weather. To the SE of Hainan moderate to strong NE breezes with squally weather prevailed. West of the Bashee Channel light to moderate ESE breezes. The centre may possibly have been in about 16°, 112. This is, however, very uncertain. During the evening of the 28th the wind at Hoihow backed to NE 3, and heavy clouds were passing over from the SE. The barometer remained steady. The Actir, a few miles W of Hoihow, had a fresh E breeze with steady barometer. At Hongkong the barometer was steady and light E airs with showery weather prevailed. On the 29th at noon the barometer (29.72) at Haiphong showed a fall of 0.09 since the previous day, the sky was cloudy with a gentle SE breeze. The barometer had fallen slightly at Hoihow with moderate E breeze and clear sky. There was a light SW breeze at Cape St. James.

At noon on the 29th the barometer at Hongkong showed the same reading as at noon on the previous day and was in fact rising for two or three hours about this time instead of showing the usual daily fall. At 2 p. it read the same as at 10 a. which, allowing for daily variation, shows a distinct rise of 0.04 inches. The barometer did not commence to fall until late in the evening. The wind was from about ESE during the morning hours of force 2. At 10 a. it was E 4. About 12.30

About 12.30 p. the wind suddenly flew round to SSE in a sharp squall of wind and rain, but it backed to E/N at 4 p. force 4 and continued from about that direction for the remainder of the evening. The lower clouds came from SE and some higher clouds from SSE. The mean temperature for the day was 79°. At Victoria Peak the direction of the wind was from SE 4 to 5 the whole day. At Macao light SSW breezes blew during the middle of the day and towards evening a light E breeze. The weather was showery during the day; cloudy in the evening. On the whole the barometer was falling slightly. At Hoihow fine weather prevailed. The sky was clear the whole day and the wind from E force 4, lightning was observed to the S during the evening. The barometer showed a slight fall since the previous day, but it read the same at 3 p. as at 9 a. (29.76) and was thus rising at this time. Allowing for daily variation the rise between 9 a. and 3 p. would be about 0.05 inch. On the SE coast the barometer was almost steady, perhaps slightly rising and the wind which was chiefly light NE airs and breezes in the morning became more Easterly towards evening. The weather was fine generally with detached clouds.

Vessels in China Sea West of Bolinao had moderate SSE breezes. The Esmeralda reported a high SW swell. To the East of Annam the weather was fine with light variable airs. The Aglaia and the Alwine, a few miles to the SSW of Hongkong, had a strong ESE breeze with rain and a rough sea. The Presto, which left Hongkong for the SWard at 6 a., had a strong S breeze and squally weather with high S sea and SE swell. The Activ left Hoihow for Hongkong about 2 a.m. She experienced a gentle to moderate ENE breeze during the morning hours. A heavy bank of clouds was noticed in the SE and towards noon she had a SE swell. The barometer (4 a. 29.77, 10 a. 29.82) was not falling at this time.

 During the evening the Canton and Taichiow, which left Hongkong bound East in the afternoon, had E and ESE gentle to moderate breezes with overcast showery weather and a heavy S swell. The Presto had the barometer (at & p. 29.75, midnight 29.71) falling during the evening and the direction of the wind S 5 at 4 p. had become E 5 at 8 p. and E 7 at midnight. At the latter hour the weather was thick with rain and there was a tremendously high sea from E. The Activ had now the barometer falling and the wind had backed from E 5 during the afternoon to ENE 6 at night. There was a heavy swell from SSE at midnight.

  Taking all the information into consideration it seems that a very small area of low pressure entered the coast from the southward about 60 miles to the WSW of Hongkong on the 29th June at noon. It appears that the cyclone which followed next day was formed in the rear of this small area of squally and wet weather. But all the ships that reported squally weather had it from SE. There are no data on the other side of the centre, so there may not really have been any low surrounded by closed isobars.

During the early morning hours of June 30th the barometer was falling (at 4 a. 29.71) at Hong- kong the direction of the wind being ENE force 4. At 1 a.m. the sky was clear, at 4 a. partially clouded. At 4.30 a. the direction veered very suddenly to SSE in a heavy squall of wind and rain, the barometer rose 0.05 in. in a few minutes (at 5 a. 29.77) and the temperature fell 72. From this time the wind gradually backed (at 9 a. E 4), the force diminishing from 6 to 4. The barometer was falling. A few minutes before 10 a. the wind again suddenly veered from E to SSE in another squall of wind and rain-but less severe than at 4.30 a.-and the barometer rose quickly for a short time. Thereafter it fell until 7 p. when it commenced to rise. The wind after 10 a.m. was from between SE and SSE and it increased from force 5 at 1 p. to 7 at 7 p., the weather being wet and squally the whole time. The lower clouds came from SSE all day. After midnight the wind moderated and the direction became S force 4 at 1 a. on the 1st July with rising barometer (1 a. 29.75) and showery weather. At Victoria Peak on the 30th June the direction of the wind was SE from 7 a. to 4 p. increasing in force from 5 at the former to 7 at the latter hour. At 7 p. it was SSE 7, at 10 p. SW 7 between 10 a. and 10 p. no rain fell. On the morning of 1st July the wind was SW 6, and the weather rainy.

  At Macao the barometer on the 30th June was falling again in the evening. At 4 a. there was a light E breeze. SSE the force increasing to 5 at 4 p. At 10 p. it was S 5. to force 2. The weather was wet and squally.

rather rapidly during the day, but rose Towards midday the direction veered to At 4 a. on the 1st July it had moderated

At Canton light ESE airs with sky partially clouded prevailed during the morning hours of the 30th with slightly falling barometer. Between 3 p. and 9 p. the fall became rapid and the wind which was SE 5 at the former hour had backed and was E 6 at 9 p. The sky had become overcast and it was squally. On July 1st at 3 a. the wind was still E 6 with wet squally weather and the barometer was on the point of rising. At 9 a. the wind was S 3 the weather rainy and the barometer had risen.

At Hoihow on the 30th the barometer had fallen since the previous night but between 9 a. and 3 p. it was rising. A gentle to moderate NW breeze prevailed during the day. At 5.45 p. the wind shifted to WSW with a light rain squall. At 9 p.m. it was SE 2. The weather was very fine all day with the exception of the slight squall above mentioned.

  On the SE coast on June 30th the barometer showed a slight fall since the previous day. Light variable airs, chiefly Easterly, and calms prevailed with weather cloudy but fine.

5

Vessels in the China Sea to the SE of Hainan on June 30th had light and gentle S and SSW breezes and fine weather, but towards evening the weather became showery and the wind slightly increased in force. The Lennox reported a confused sea. The Bantam left Hongkong for the South at p.m. and at midnight experienced a strong S breeze overcast sky and high sea. The Presto NE of Hainan had a fresh NE breeze during the early morning and later a moderate gale from N by E. The weather was wet and squally. At noon in Hainan Straits she had a light SW breeze with fine weather. Later as she proceeded Westward she had a fresh SW breeze. The centre was at noon on June 30th in 21° 10', 112° 20'.

 The log of the S.S. Activ shows that the centre of a small cyclone passed across St. John's harbour at 3 p. on the 30th June. The wind scarcely reached typhoon force. There was no rain to speak of till after the centre had passed. Captain HYGOM, who observed the phenomena carefully as is to be seen from the log printed below, has given us the following particulars in addition. They are of great value as we had hitherto no observations of the motion of clouds above the bull's eye, where it is usually so difficult to make observations.

 "Before the centre passed the clouds came from 1 point south of the wind, but not very fast. They continued from that direction during the first part of the central calm. The fleck of clear sky moved slowly about NEward. The sea calmed down perfectly with the wind for an hour and a half. The clouds came from SE in the bull's eye, then from S, and then the wind burst from the opposite quarter to where it blew from before. Another clearing in the clouds were noticed to the SE. After the calm the rain was seen to come up like a wall from about 5 miles towards W."

 From this we may conclude that this little typhoon originated in the evening of the 29th June or during the following night a short distance S by W of St. John's harbour. That it was not fully established till the centre was above St. John's harbour and that it there quickly ceased to blow as the centre entered the mainland.

After entering China the depression moved NNWward.

JULY.

During the first half of the month of July the weather on the China Coast and in the China Sea was fine. On the Coast between Hainan and Shanghai the general direction of the wind between the 1st and 15th was chiefly SEasterly. In the Southern part of the China Sea the SW monsoon was blowing steadily but not very strongly. About the 15th it increased in strength and moved further north to about 15° latitude with wet and squally weather and the winds on the China Coast became somewhat more Southerly. On the 17th the barometer rose in China particularly on the E Coast and gradients were established for E winds on the Coast and in the N part of the China Sea. South of 15° latitude fresh W and SW winds were blowing and at the time there appears to have been a trough of low pressure across the China Sea in about 15° to 16° latitude. The barometer was falling rather sharply in Luzon. At Manila there was a gentle SW breeze and overcast weather.

The central area of depression appears to have been in about 16°, 114° almost stationary but perhaps moving a little towards WNW.

On the 18th July the barometer had on the whole fallen slightly on the S and SE Coasts but had risen on the East Coast. Winds over these districts were light to moderate E breezes on the S coast, fresh NE breezes on the SE coast, and light SE breezes on the East coast. In the latter district the weather was fine. On the SE and S coasts cloudy weather prevailed with drizzling rain at some stations. In Luzon the barometer had risen slightly with light S winds and cloudy skies. At Cape St. James there was a strong SW breeze and squally weather. Vessels south of Hongkong and in the N part of the middle of the China Sea had strong E to NE breezes and squally weather. West of Bolinao the Koushing and the Memnon had strong SSW and SSE breezes respectively with squally weather and showers in the case of the Kowshing. The Michael Jebsen, to the S of Hainan, had a moderate N gale while the Cheang Chew to the East of Annam had a fresh WNW gale with rain squalls and high sea. The Sikh to the East of Cochin China had SW 5 and the wind veering to W with falling barometer as she progressed northwards.

At noon on the 18th July the centre was in about 16°, 113° and shortly afterwards it re-curved. It thus appears that the origin of the depression which subsequently developed into a typhoon may be traced to a spot with squally and wet weather in the midst of a district with rather low barometer in the China Sea round which light variable winds following the coast lines gyrated against the sun.

On the 19th July, at noon, the barometer had fallen about 0.07 inch since noon of the previous day on the S Coast, less so on the SE Coast. In Hoihow and Hongkong the wind was a NE gentle to moderate breeze and the weather showery with thunder and lightning in the afternoon at Hoihow. On the SE Coast light to moderate NE breezes prevailed with cloudy and, in some cases, showery weather. At S. Cape (Formosa) there was a slight fall in the barometer with NNE 3 and cloudy sky. On the East Coast pressure had given way considerably and light SE breezes prevailed with fine weather. In Luzon the barometer showed a slight rise with overcast sky and light to moderate S and SW breezes. At Cape St. James it was overcast and there was a strong SW breeze. The sailing vessels J. D. Bischoff and Heinrich, N of the centre, in about 20°, 114° had NE and ENE strong breezes increasing in force and backing towards evening with heavy rain squalls and irregular sea.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 845

The barometer was falling quickly (J. D. Bischoff 29.45 at midnight 19th NE 7 backing and increasing). The centre was at noon moving about NE by N and approaching those vessels. The Barquentine Vagabond at noon about 50 miles S of Hongkong had the wind backing to NE during the evening and increasing to a fresh gale with hard squalls and a fast falling barometer. Her commander, sus- pecting a typhoon, took down the royal yards. The Michael Jebsen NW of the centre had the baro- meter falling (8 p. 29.56) the wind backing to NNE and increasing to a fresh gale with very high cross sea. The Nicoya and Carl Friedrich were about 100 miles WSW of the centre. The latter had a fresh WNW breeze increasing and backing with rain squalls, a threatening appearance to NE and a very high cross sea. The vessel was hove to at 4 p. At midnight, 19th July, the barometer read 29.53 and had ceased falling, wind W 5. The Nicoya noted the wind as a fresh NW gale at noon 19th. Fresh W breezes blew on the Coast of Annam. East of Cochinchina fresh SW breezes. N of Palawan the Memnon had strong SW breezes with rain squalls and high sea. She was about 350' SE of the centre. The N. S. de Loreto also SSE of the centre distant about 250 miles had a strong NW breeze according to the log book but this appears to be wrong probably SW should have been written. West of the Bashee Channel the Zafiro NE by E of the centre had SE 4 with heavy rain. She was steering S/E and towards evening the wind became S 3 with heavy S swell rain squalls and lightning to SW.

  The centre was, at noon on the 19th July, in 18°15′, 113°45′ moving NE by N and the depression was evidently increasing in intensity.

During the evening of the 19th July, the barometer at Hongkong was falling fast (at 8 p. 29.62). The wind was a fresh to strong ENE breeze, there was occasional drizzling rain and the clouds were of the R-cum type from ENE. At Victoria Peak the wind was NE 6, the direction having backed from E since the morning. At Hoihow the barometer was falling slightly during the evening with NE 3 detached clouds and thunder and lightning, but no rain fell. In S Formosa the barometer was falling (S. Cape 9 p. 29.72), the wind was ESE 2 with cloudy sky. On the SE coast, the barometer was falling moderately fast in the S part of the district with ENE and NE 4 and occasional rain showers. In the north part the barometer fell less quickly, the ENE wind was somewhat lighter in force, and the weather fine. On the E coast the barometer was falling slightly with SE light breezes and fine weather. At Bolinao, the barometer was steady (at 6 p. 29.72) with light S and SSE breezes and overcast weather. The clouds came from SSW.

On July 20th, during the morning hours, the barometer continued to fall at Hongkong and the wind backed through NE to N force 3. The weather was overcast, and, between 3 and 4.30 a., a slight thunderstorm passed East of the Colony appearing in the NE and disappearing in the SE. The direction of the lower clouds had backed with the wind. The lowest reading of the barometer occurred at 3 p. (29.42 actual, 29.45 corrected for daily variation). At the time it was almost calm, the anemo- graph only recording a velocity of 6 miles between 2.30 and 3.30 p. the direction being N by W. The latter, however, rapidly backed to WNW and increased to a velocity of 23 miles per hour at 8 p.

846 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

(barometer 29.49 actual). Later it backed still further and the velocity decreased, at midnight WSW 9 miles per hour, (barometer 29.50 actual). The direction of the lower clouds also backed from NE at 1 p. to N at midnight.

The weather during the afternoon and evening had a threatening appearance, but with the excep- tion of a few spots of light rain occasionally and a slight shower about 7 p., no rain fell. The atmos- phere was unusually clear during the latter part of the day and distant objects were very distinctly At Victoria Peak, the direction of the wind, which had been NE 5, backed to NW 3 between 4 p. and 7 p., and at 10 p. it was also NW 3. The mean temperature for the 20th July was 80°.1, this being 1°.4 lower than the mean of 5 years.

seen.

 Considering that the centre was at noon only 100 miles to the SE of the Colony the light winds recorded may appear remarkable, but the high land to the northward has at all times a great effect in diminishing the strength of N winds in the Colony and it frequently happens that a moderate N gale is blowing at sea a short distance to the Southward when only light to moderate breezes are experienced in the Colony.

 At Hoihow, the barometer was falling, there was a light SE breeze during the morning, but the direction veered to SW 4 just after noon and became NW 3 in the evening. The weather was fine and lightning was seen at night. At Canton, the barometer was falling during the day. The wind was ESE 2 at 3 a. backing to NE 2 at 9 p. with detached clouds. At 3 p. it was E 6 with overcast sky and passing showers and towards evening WSW 2, detached clouds. The strong E breeze at 3 p. does not agree with the bearing of the centre of the typhoon at that time. The direction is probably influenced to a great extent by the situation of the observing station.

 In Southern Formosa moderate SSE breezes prevailed chiefly on the 20th with showery weather and falling barometer.

 In Luzon cloudy weather with moderate to fresh SW breezes prevailed and the barometer was inclined to fall a little. At Bolinao, there was a light SE breeze the lower clouds coming from the same direction. On the SE coast, during the morning hours of the 20th July, moderate to strong E and NE breezes blew with drizzling rain and showers in the South part, and in the North part light and gentle NE breezes with cloudy but fine weather. The barometer was falling rapidly in the whole district. The weather towards evening on this part of the coast will be described in detail later on.

The weather experienced by vessels during the morning hours of July 20th was as follows:-

The Chi Yuen off Amoy and NE of the centre had ENE 4 with thick drizzling rain and falling barometer (4 a. 29.69, 8 a. 29.65). The Glengyle off Swatow had the wind variable. and squally force 4 with rain squalls and a moderate S and SW sea. Towards noon the wind settled down at ENE and increased to force 6 with gloomy sky. The Oceana in about the same position had at 4 a. NE 7 increasing and vivid lightning was observed to the SE and SW. The Ningpo bound for Hongkong and about half way between Swatow and the former port had SE 3 up to 5 a. (barometer 29.54 falling) with squally wet weather and lightning to SW. There was a SE and later a S swell.About 6 a. the wind backed to NNE force 2 to 3. This vessel was at first NNE and later N of the centre. The Gaelic approaching Hongkong from the Eastward had ESE 4, barometer (4 a. 29.58) falling, heavy rain squalls, rough sea and SE swell.

 On the morning of the 20th July, the wind veered to SSE and SE force 5 at Lamocks, and two or three vessels at the time between that station and Hongkong also had the wind SE and variable and squally weather just before they entered the area of strong winds.

 The Michael Jebsen, WNW of the centre and approaching Hongkong, had at 4 a. N by E 7 (barometer 29.48), at 8 a. N by W 8 (barometer 29.48) with very high NNE sea, at 6 a. the atmos- phere was noted as "very clear."

very clear." Thereafter the wind and sea decreased at noon N by W 6 with barometer inclined to rise. The J. D. Bischoff, W of the centre, had a strong N backing gale at 4 a. (barometer 29.45), at 8 a. NNW 9 (barometer 29.48). The barque Heinrich, SW of the centre, had at noon a fresh WNW gale with heavy squalls and high sea. The barque Vagabond had run to the SW since the previous day and was to the WSW of the centre during the morning. She experienced at 4 a. a strong WNW gale backing and decreasing with heavy squalls. The top gallant masts were taken down at 4 a. West of Bolinao, the Sungkiang and Zafiro, SE of the centre had strong SW and S breezes with heavy cross sea and squally showery weather. East of Annam S to W moderate to strong breezes prevailed. The centre at noon on July 20th was situated in 21° 0', 115° 45', moving

The Glengyle and the Oceana were off the coast in the vicinity of Breaker Point at noon on 20th July the centre of the typhoon being at that time about 100 miles SSW of their position. The former vessel had a strong ENE increasing breeze with barometer falling sharply and a gloomy threatening appearance. At 12.30 p.m. her commander seeing indications of an approaching typhoon made for Swatow and there at the outer anchorage rode out the stor?n. The Oceana noted the wind at noon as a fresh NNE gale with rapidly falling barometer and confused sea. This vessel was hove to just after 4 p. and during the evening experienced a strong N backing to NW gale with heavy rain squalls. The lowest reading of the barometer was at 9 p. (29.21). The typhoon passed, perhaps, 50 miles E of her about that time it having advanced towards her position during the afternoon. This vessel was the only one at sea in the vicinity of the centre during the evening of the 20th, and during the passage of the typhoon across the Formosa Channel no vessel encountered the full force of it. Vessels lying at the Coast Ports remained at anchor, warnings having been received from the Hongkong Observatory, and those at sea quickly sought shelter. Some vessels from Japan bound to Hongkong ran into bad weather on the 21st in the northern part of the Channel.

For determining the track of the typhoon in this part of its course the observations at the light stations and Coast Ports around the Channel are fortunately sufficient.

At 6 p.m. on July 20th the centre was situated in 22° 10', 117° 05′ and at midnight in 22° 52',

117° 40'.

the

During the evening of the 20th July NE gales with rain squalls were felt at Breaker Point, Swatow and Lamocks with quickly falling barometer. In the northern part of the Formosa Channel the wind was from E and ENE force 2 to 3, and the weather cloudy. At Fisher Island and the SW coast of Formosa the wind was SE 3 to 4 with overcast sky, passing showers and lightning. The barometer was falling moderately fast. At Lamocks the wind had backed and was at 9 p. N 9, barometer at the time was falling very rapidly. By midnight the wind had increased to N 10 and the barometer (29.05) had fallen 0.2 inch since 9 p. There were very heavy squalls of wind and rain. At 1 a. July 21st the barometer read 28.95 the wind being N 11, at 2 a. the same reading of the barometer and similar wind and weather. At 2.30 a. the lowest reading of the barometer (28.93) was recorded and the wind backed to NW 11. At 3 a. the barometer (28.99) had risen a little, the wind continuing at NW of storm force with continuous squalls of wind and rain. The barometer thereafter rose quickly (6 a. 29.17) and the wind backed to WNW but was still of force 10. The centre passed about 30 miles to the Eastward of this station at 2.30 a. July 21st.

At Swatow 37 miles to the Westward of Lamocks at 2 a. July 21st the wind was N of force 5 only, the barometer 29.27 (lowest reading). The same reading of the barometer was registered at 3 a. but the wind had backed and was NW 4. After this time the barometer commenced to rise. The

weather was gloomy with slight rain. These are the observations made at the Custom House. On board the Fokien at anchor in the river the wind direction was noted as NW/W, the barometer reading 29.29 (lowest reading) at which point it remained until 5 a. when the wind was observed as NW/W 8 with frequent heavy squalls. After 5 a. the wind quickly moderated with rising barometer.

By reference to the log of the Glengyle at anchor about 4 miles to the Eastward of Swatow Custom House, it will be seen that a whole NE backing to NW gale was experienced during the evening of the 20th and early morning of July 21st with furious squalls and much rain. The lowest reading of the barometer was 29.18 at 5 a. July 21st.

Probably the force of wind was over estimated on board the Glengyle though it must be remarked that the gradient from Swatow Eastward to Lamocks was extremely steep during this time corres- ponding to a gradient of 0.13 in 15 miles at 2.30 a. July 21st.

The lowest reading of the barometer at Breaker Point was at 9 p. July 20th (barometer 29.56), the wind being at the time NNE 8 with rain squalls. The centre was then about 60 miles to the ESE of the station. The same wind and weather is noted at midnight but the barometer showed then a rise of 0.02 inch since 9 p. By 3 a. July 21st the wind had backed to W 6 (barometer 29.30). Thereafter the barometer rose quickly and the weather improved.

 The rainfall measured for the 24 hours ending July 21st at 9 a. was, at Lamocks 6.70, Breaker Point 2.85, and Swatow 1.69 inches.

The typhoon was advancing in a NE by N direction between midnight of July 20th and 6 a. of July 21st almost directly upon Chapel Island. At that station the wind had increased from NE 4 at

9 p. July 20th to NE 7 at midnight (barometer 29.41 midnight). The weather was wet and gloomy. Thereafter the wind continued to increase in force preserving the same direction and the barometer to fall quickly. At 5 a. July 21st the wind veered to ENE force 10 (barometer 29.18) the centre of the typhoon bearing at the time S by W 50 miles. At 6 a. the wind direction backed to NE. At 7 a. it was NNE 11 which direction it maintained until 11 a. the greatest force being registered at 9 a. and 10 a. as 11 to 12. The lowest barometer reading occurred at 9 a. (29.13) the centre of the typhoon then bearing SSE 40 miles. The rainfall for the previous 24 hours measured at 9 a. July 21st was 4.96 inches.

 On July 21st at 6 a. at Amoy there was strong NE wind and wet squally weather (barometer 29.33). At the lighthouse stations in the north part of the Channel there was a moderate ENE increasing breeze with a threatening appearance and in some cases drizzling rain and the barometer falling.

 At Fisher Island the barometer fell very sharply after 9 p. of July 20th and the wind which had been ESE 6 at 9 p. veered to SE at 1 a. July 21st and increased to force 8, the centre bearing WSW 100 miles at the latter hour The weather was wet and squally and so continued. The wind direction continued practically steady in direction but increasing in force, at noon it was SE 10, centre of typhoon bearing W 30 miles distant. The barometer continued to fall rapidly (July 21st 6 a. 29.30, noon 29.15). The barometer at Chapel Island had risen 0.09 inch since 9 a. and read at noon July 21st 29.22, the wind at the latter hour being N 10. At Lamocks the barometer had continued to rise quickly (9 a. 29.27, noon 29.37) and the wind was at noon July 21st W 7, the weather continuing very wet and squally. The bearing of the centre was then ENE 95 miles. At Anping, on July 21st, at 3 a., the wind was SW 6 (barometer 29.50) which agrees badly with the bearing of the centre at that time, which was W/N 130 miles. At 8 a. it was S 7 (barometer 29.46), at noon SW 9 (barometer 29.36). The weather was very squally and showery. At Takow the wind during the morning hours of the 21st July was a fresh breeze to moderate gale from S and SSE. At noon S 8 with barometer reading at 6 a. 29.50, at noon 29.42 with the centre at the latter hour bearing NW 95 miles. The weather was wet and squally and lightning had been observed during the early morning. It may be mentioned that at Anping "two shocks of earthquake lasting 3 seconds N to S were felt at 11.20 a.m." At Takow the shock was also felt the time given being 11.17 a.m., duration 10 seconds. On this part of the Formosa Coast, earthquake shocks are of rather frequent occurrence. S Cape had the wind SSW increasing from force 3 at 3 a. (barometer 29.49) to 6 at noon July 21st (barometer 29.48) when the centre bore NW 145 miles. The wind had veered a little since the previous evening. The weather was showery, squally, and thunder was heard. The temperature was rather high during the early morning hours of the 21st July being at 3 a. 82°.8. At Tamsui and Keelung on the North Coast of Formosa light SE airs and breezes and cloudy but fine weather prevailed at noon on July 21st with falling barometer, and at the lighthouse stations near the northern entrance to the Channel moderate to strong ENE and NE breezes with squally weather and falling barometer. At Hongkong the barometer had risen but slightly and remained practically steady all day on July 21st. Temperature was rather high, the mean of the 24 hours being 82.08. The wind was a moderate SSW breeze at 3 a. (barometer 29.49), but after 5 a. the wind veered to about WNW and continued this direction with force 1 to 2 until noon (barometer 29.51), during the afternoon it backed to about SW and increased a little in force, but towards evening it became calm. The weather was fine but hazy with lightning in the evening. The lower clouds came from NW in the morning but backed to W in the evening. C-cun cloud came from NW. At Victoria Peak there was a moderate W breeze all day. The bearing of the centre from Hongkong was ENE 270 miles at noon July 21st and E by N 340 miles at midnight.

 In Luzon on the 21st July at noon moderate SW winds prevailed and the barometer had fallen slightly since the previous day. At noon on July 21st several vessels to the Southward of Hong-

!

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 849

kong had fresh W breezes and fine weather. The Asagao, 25 miles ENE of Lamocks, had a strong WNW breeze, rainy weather and confused sea. The Oceana, about 45 miles SSW of Lamocks, had also WNW 6 with confused sea. This vessel it will be noticed had allowed the typhoon to pass her on the previous evening and was now following it up keeping at a safe distance by steaming at reduced speed. The Chi Yuen lying at the Amoy outer anchorage had a strong NE gale during the morning of July 21st with hard squalls and rain. The Benlarig passed into the N entrance of the Channel during the evening of the 20th July bound for Hongkong, and at 2 a. July 21st had a fresh ESE breeze increasing. About 5 a., the wind and sea rising and the barometer falling rapidly, the vessel was hove to heading E. Later the wind increased and at noon she had a fresh NE by E gale, the barometer being steady at 29.32. At this time she must have been only about 50 miles N by E of the centre if her position as entered in the log can be relied on. The Continental also off Ockseu at 2 a. July 21st bound South had at 4 a. a strong ENE gale with rain squalls and high confused sea. She sustained some damage on deck and at 8 a. the cargo shifted. At 10 a. she had a very hard gale" from ENE and the lowest reading of the barometer 29.42. At noon the vessel was taken into Haitan Bay for shelter and in consequence of a list. She was at 6 a. July 21st about NE of the centre 100 miles. The Electra was even closer to the centre at noon July 21st. Her position is given as 23° 44', 118° 18′ and she was proceeding Southward. During the early morning hours of the 21st she had a NE increasing breeze with rapidly falling barometer (6 a. 29.55). At noon she

((

 had a strong NE gale (barometer 29.23). She was then 40 miles WNW of the centre. Thereafter the barometer rose quickly and the wind backed and decreased in force, at 6 p. NW 6, (barometer 29.39).

   At 6 a.m. on July 21st the centre of the typhoon was in 23° 30', 118° 10′ and until this hour as before stated, it had been advancing in a NE by N direction and appeared likely to move up the Channel, but at this time its course was deflected and it moved ENEward for a short time then Eastward and at the latter end of the day SEward. The cause of the very unusual path of this typhoon recurvature in the China Sea in July (cases in November have occurred) and motion NE ward across Formosa, was probably connected with another typhoon, which was at this time ENE of Formosa. Typhoons have a tendency to approach the tracks of their predecessors. The centre at noon on July 21st was situated in 23° 35', 118° 55'.

850 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2nd SEPTEMBER, 1893.

During the afternoon, between 4 and 4.30 p.m., the centre passed South of Fisher Island and probably within 10 miles of the station. The lowest reading of the barometer was 28.75 at 4.30 p.m. (it had fallen 0.4 since noon) the wind being from NE of full typhoon force with heavy squalls and torrents of rain. By referring to the observations printed elsewhere it will be seen how quickly the wind direction changed. It had been steady at SE up to 2.30 p.m. but had increased in violence from force 9 at 11 am. to force 11 at 2.30 p.m. At 3 p.m. it was ESE 11, 3.30 p.m. E 12, 4 p.m. NE 12, 4.30 p.m. NE 12, 5 p.m. N 12 at which direction it remained till after 9 p.m. though the force of course decreased. The typhoon was moving away from the station in a SEasterly direction.

From the Fisher Island and Auping observations alone the centre can be very accurately deter- mined and at 6 p.m. 21st July was situated in 23° 20′, 119° 40'. At the latter station the barometer had been failing very rapidly since noon and the wind direction had backed from SW to S and increased to force 10. At 6 p.m. the barometer read 28.98, it had fallen 0.38 since noon. There was very heavy rain and squalls. At Takow the barometer had fallen from 29.42 at noon to 29.23 at 6 p.m. and from the observations made on H.M.S. Firebrand, which was at anchor in Takow harbour it is seen that the wind remained steady in direction from SSW but increasing in force. The weather had been very wet and squally the whole day. At 6 pm. SSW 8 was observed on the Firebrand. At the Custom House at 3 p.m. the wind is entered as WSW of force 10. The wind forces observed at the Custom House for the previous day and up to this time as compared, with the adjacent stations are doubtless over estimated. This is seen from the wind observations at S Cape and Anping together with those of the Firebrand for the 20th. Moreover had it not been for presence of the Firebrand at Takow, the wind observations would not have been put on record as although frequent observations of the baro- meter were made at the Custom House, no observations of wind were recorded between 9 p.m. of the 21st and 9 a.m. of the 22nd between which hours the centre of the typhoon passed over the port.

At S Cape the barometer had fallen 0.14 since noon and at 6 p.m. read 29.34. The wind had veered since the former hour and increased in force, it was now from SW of force 7, the weather being squally, showery and gloomy.

On the other side of the Channel on July 21st at 6 p. Lamocks, Swatow and Breaker Point had light to gentle W & SW breezes with overcast weather barometer 29.43 at the latter station and Lamocks. The Fokien near Breaker Point having left Swatow for Hongkong about noon reported "moderate W to SW winds with rain and heavy cross swell to port." The barometer was rising. At Chapel Island there was a moderate NNW gale, barometer 29.29 and cloudy weather. The Benlarig had at 8 p.m. a strong W gale with increasing sea. At 6 p.m. "brilliant yellow sunset was noted. At the lighthouse stations in the N part of the Channel the wind was backing and increasing somewhat in force, the weather being cloudy and squally. Turnabout and Middle Dog both had the barometer reading at 6 p.m. 29.37 this being the lowest recorded and wind being NE 6 and ENE 6 respectively. At Ocksen it was NNE 5. The Mathilde close to Ockseu at 8 p.m. experienced a fresh NNE gale and high sea, barometer 29.35 (lowest).

Since 6 p.m. the barometer at Anping had been falling very rapidly the wind remaining Southerly of force 10 the heavy squalls being of full typhoon force. At 9 p.m. the barometer attained its lowest point and read 28.62 the wind at the time being somewhat less strong. The centre passed W of the port distant about 10 miles at this time. At 9.15 p.m. the wind backed to SE for 5 minutes in a very heavy squall. At 9.30 p.m. the direction was again South and the barometer had risen 0.10 since 9 p.m. At 10 p.m. it had backed to ESE and was of force 10. At 10.30 p.m. the same wind. At 11 and 11.30 p.m. it was NE of force 8. Mr. STRANGMAN, the observer, has a note "11.15 p.m.- 0.15 a.m. wind lessened in force, a lull compared with what preceded and followed." At 11 p.m. the barometer read 29.17 having risen no less than 0.55 inch since 9 p.m. At this time the rise was checked for 1 hour, the reading being 29.16 at 11.30 p.m. and 29.17 at midnight. At the latter hour the wind had backed to NNW a strong gale. It was overcast and squally, but the heavy rain had ceased. Mr. STRANGMAN adds: "Enormous amount of damage to life and property ashore and afloat, the shipping suffering severely. Three big Amoy junks being blown into a sweet potatoe field. sea rose 2 feet above the highest water known here for some time."

The

At Takow at 6 p.m. July 21st the barometer reading was 29.24, the wind being from SSW of force 8 with heavy rain squalls. The barometer was falling very rapidly and the wind increasing in force the direction remaining constant at SSW according to the observations on board the Firebrand. The Custom House observations give the wind at 9 p.m. as WSW force 10. The force at that hour agrees with the Firebrand observations, but the directions are 4 points asunder. The reading of the baro- meter was 29.02, a fall of 0.22 since 6 pm. Between 9 and 10 p.m. the barometer fell 0.29 according to the Custom House observations and 0.35 by the Firebrand readings, the readings being 28.73 and 28.675 respectively. The latter was the lowest reading recorded on the Firebrand, but the Custom House observations were made every quarter of an hour and we have from them the lowest reading at 10.45 p.m. 28.69. At 10 p.m. the wind was from SSW of force 10 to 12. On the Firebrand an aneroid was used and up to 9 p.m. the readings agree very well with those of the Custom House where a standard mercurial barometer is used. The aneroid of the Firebrand appears to have become deranged and read too high after the passage of the centre. The readings of the Customs House

barometer are therefore afterwards alone used.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 851

The following remarks are from the register of the Firebrand :-

6.00 p.m. Very heavy squalls, with heavy rain.

8.00 p.m. Tremendously violent squalls, with heavy rain. 10.00 p.m. Blowing a hurricane.

10.30 p.m. Calm, barometer commenced to rise. 10.50 p.m. Blowing tremendously from NNW.

11.00 p.m. Blowing WNW 10 to 12 with much rain.

Midnight. Blowing very hard from WNW.

At 11 p.m. the barometer read 28.96, it had risen 0.27 in a quarter of an hour. At midnight it read 29.22 or 0.53 higher than at 10.45 p.m. The wind was at midnight from WNW of force 8 to

10.

The centre passed therefore over Takow at 10.45 p.m. The exact duration of the central calm we do not know unless we assume from the Firebrand observations that it fell calm at 10.30 p.m. exactly in which case it must have been of about 20 minutes duration and would correspond to a diameter of 4 miles, the rate of motion at the time being about 12 miles per hour. The state of the sky was not recorded unfortunately and we therefore do not know whether there was any partial clearing of the sky during the passage of the calni centre.

Previous to striking the coast the typhoon was moving in a SEasterly direction, but it then appears to have been deflected almost at a right angle and to have moved NE for a short time and it also at once commenced to fill up rapidly. It will be seen by reference to the Anping observations that the barometer ceased rising at 11 p.m (29.17) and in fact read 0.01 lower at 11.30 p.m. (29.16). At midnight it was (29.17) and thereafter it rose, but not very quickly. The wind at 11 and 11.30 p.m. was from NE of force 8, but at midnight it was from NNW of force 9. The reading at Takow at midnight was 29.22 the wind being from WNW of force 9, and the rain squalls still continued.

At S. Cape the wind had increased in force since 6 p. July 21st. At 9 p.m. it was SW of force 8. At midnight SW 9 with rain squalls the whole evening. The barometer had in the meantime fallen from 29.34 at 6 p.m. to 29.29 at midnight.

At midnight July 21st vessels off the coast near Hongkong had moderate to fresh W and WSW breezes. At the coast stations and light houses between Breaker Point and Chapel Island gentle W breezes chiefly prevailed. At Lamocks it was SSW of force 3. The weather was cloudy but fine. From Chapel Island to the northern entrance to the channel the winds ranged from moderate N gales in the southern part of the area (the Benlarig had a fresh N by W gale with rain squalls) to strong NE and ENE breezes in the northern part, the weather being squally over the entire area. On the N coast of Formosa, at Tamsui at 9 p. July 21st the wind was NE of force 2 and the weather cloudy. At Keelung a few miles to the Eastward of the former station the wind is recorded as SE 3 the weather being showery and gloomy. The lowest recorded readings of the barometer occurred at this time. Neither of these stations had strong wind though at 6 p.m. the centre was only about 150 miles distant. The intervening range of mountains may account for this. At midnight July 21st the centre was situated in 22° 53', 120° 33'. After midnight the barometer at S. Cape continued to fall, but very slowly, when the daily variation is allowed for, and attained the minimum at 6 a. July 22nd, the reading being 29.24 after which it commenced rising. The wind had, in the meantime, veered to W at 3 a., at 6 a. W the force being 10 at the latter hour. There were rain squalls at 3 a., but at 6 a. the rain had ceased. The barometer read at 9 a. 29.32, at noon 29.35 the wind direction having veered to W by N of force 9 at the latter hour and the weather being squally and showery. The rainfall for the 24 hours ending at 9 a. July 22nd was 5.30 inches. At Takow at 1 a. the wind was from W of force 8 to 12 after which hour it remained steady from the same quarter of force 9 on an average till 6 a, with continuous rain squalls the whole time. At 7 a. the wind veered to NW and continued this direction for the remainder of the day. The force is given as 7 to 8 at 7 a. At 9 a, the average force was 5, at noon 4. The weather continued squally after 7 a., but the continual rain ceased and was now intermittent. Lightning was observed at 11 a. The barometer at 9 a. read 29.38, at noon 29.43. The rainfall for the previous 24 hours measured at 9 a, July 22nd was 5.00 inches.

At Anping the barometer commenced rising again after midnight of July 21st, at 1 a. July 22nd it read 29.22, at 2 a. 29.26 and it then remained steady at 29.27 till 6 a., at 9 a. it read 29.36, at noon 29.41. The wind at 1 a. was NW force 7 thereafter it continued the same direction until 8 a. but the force increased to 10 at 3 a. After 5 a. it decreased, the force at 6 a. being 9, at 7 a. 8.

At 9 a. the wind veered to NNW, and from 10 a. until noon it was from NW by N. The weather was overcast with frequent squalls the whole night but no rain fell. At 10 a. there was some clearing of the sky. The rainfall for the 24 hours ending at 9 a. July 22nd was 7.36 inches.

At Fisher Island there was still a whole gale from NW at midnight July 21st and the heavy squalls of wind and rain continued. The barometer was rising slowly. At 3 a. July 22nd it read as at midnight which, allowing for daily variation, is a slight rise and the wind was then a whole gale from WNW. At 6 a. the direction was NW but the force had decreased to a fresh gale. At 9 a. it was NNW force 8 the rain squalls had ceased and the sky was no longer overcast, some blue sky being visible. At noon there was only a strong NW breeze. The barometer read 29.30 at 6 a., 29.41 at 9 a., 29.44?at noon. The rainfall for the previous 24 hours measured at 9 a July 22nd was 4.65 inches. At 6 a. on the 22nd light to moderate W and SW breezes were blowing on the SE coast S

of Amoy, the weather being cloudy but fine. At noon the wind in this district had become more southerly and very light. The weather was generally fine with clear sky in some places. At the northern entrance of the channel the wind had backed somewhat since midnight and at 6 a. July 22nd there blew chiefly moderate to strong N breezes, the weather was squally and showery. The barometer was rising. At noon much the same weather prevailed in this district. The only vessel's log calling for special remark is that of the Bengloe which was at noon in 25° 03′, 119° 46′. A fresh NNE gale with rain squalls and high cross sea was experienced, the wind having backed during the early morning hours and increased in force. The high confused sea was general in the channel all that day. At Tamsui and Keelung in Northern Formosa gentle NE breezes prevailed at 9 a. July 22nd, the weather being cloudy and at Keelung showery. Keelung had received 0.74 inches of rain during the previous 24 hours. At Bolinao (Luzon) light and gentle S breezes with squally wet weather prevailed on the afternoon of the 21st, barometer 29.66 at 4 p. but during the early morning hours of the 22nd the wind veered to SW and blew a gale with thunder and lightning and heavy rain, barometer 29.68 at 6 a. Late in the afternoon the wind veered to W, a moderate breeze, and the weather continued wet and squally. The barometer read 29.67 at 6 p. and was rising slightly. The centre on the 22nd at 6 a. was situated in about 22° 45', 121° 25′. It must have crossed the high mountain range running North and South through Formosa, about ESE of Anping and passed out to sea again. It appears likely that it then moved a little to the S of E for some time. There was some veering of the wind at all the S Formosa stations about this hour and the lowest reading of the barometer was recorded at S Cape at 6 a., the reading being lower than those either of Takow or Anping. At noon the probable position of the centre was in 22° 40′, 122° 30'. Fresh SW monsoon was blowing at the time over the greater part of the China Sea, unfortunately no logs of vessels to the Eastward and Southward of Formosa are available and the position of the centre is laid down with reference only to the stations to the Westward of the typhoon.

It should be remarked that the above are average results as pressure decreased near the centre till it struck the coast of Formosa.

A negative angle indicates anti-cyclonic motion. It is seen that at a great distance from the centre the wind blew nearly straight towards it, while near the centre the wind direction was 59° away from the centre. On an average it was 69° in front of the centre and 22° behind the centre. The diagram shows clearly that the wind was blowing almost straight into the typhoon behind the centre. This was known to be the case with typhoons passing Hongkong and moving westward. It is now proved also for typhoons moving eastward. On an average (within 250 miles) the wind formed an angle of 45° with the radius. But in the right hand semi-circle the angle was nearly a point greater than in the left hand semi-circle. All these results bear out FERREL's opinion, that it is the prevailing wind that causes the typhoon to proceed, and that the wind direction round the centre is the result of a combination of the cyclonic motion and the motion of the centre. Therefore the incurvature is more uniform round the centre for strong winds than farther from the centre where the winds are light.

   The forces of the wind in different directions and distances from the centre are shown in the following table :-

This shows that the wind was strongest in the right hand semi-circle, where the cyclonic and progressive motion acted in approximately the same direction, and the amount of the difference between the wind velocities agrees near enough with the speed of the centre.

The wind force in a typhoon in the Formosa Channel whose centre usually makes westward is strongest to the N of the centre i. e. in the right hand, the dangerous semi-circle. In this typhoon the strongest wind was to the S as the centre moved eastward.

   It was densely overcast within from 200 to 250 miles of the centre. Rain commenced to the N of the centre within 200 miles, to the E within 250 miles, to the S within 150 miles, and to the W within 180 miles. Heavy cross seas were logged within 200 miles of the centre on all sides of it, so that the sea got up before the wind rose to a fresh breeze, thus giving early warning on board the vessels at sea. A gradient of 0.01 inch in 15 nautical miles corresponded to force 4, 0.02 to force 6, 0.03 to force 7, 0.04 to force 8, 0.06 to force 9, 0.15 to force 10, 0.25 to force 11 or 12.

                                             The steepest gradient 0.30 in 15 miles occurred at Fisher Island between 2 p. and 3.30 p. on the 21st July accompanied by full typhoon force. It is evident that the wind forces were to a great extent under- estimated, as frequently happens when a beginner observes in a typhoon for the first time. However many of the observers were old hands, and it must be remembered that the wind blows in tremendous squalls in a typhoon along tracks on both sides of which the wind is not felt so much. The compara- tively low forces recorded may therefore be due to chance at least to some extent.

At

During the afternoon and evening of the 22nd the wind gradually decreased in force in Southern Formosa and the barometer continued rising. The weather at S Cape and Takow was squally and showery and lightning was noted during the evening. At Anping the weather had improved greatly, towards evening the sky having cleared. At S Cape at 9 p. the wind was from W by N force 3 barometer 29.49. At Takow NNW 3 barometer 29.52. At Anping NE 4 barometer 29.48. Fisher Island N 4 barometer 29.51 and fine weather. On the SE coast light SE airs and breezes chiefly prevailed, the weather being fine and the barometer still rising. In Northern Formosa there were light NE breezes, fine weather and the barometer was rising, at Tamsui 29.58, at Takow 29.54. At the lighthouse stations at the Northern entrance to the channel the wind was from NNE and NE gentle to moderate breezes with fine weather and rising barometer. Some vessels at the time in that part of the channel experienced the same wind and weather.

The typhoon had apparently moved to the Eastward since noon of July 22nd.

The Picciola in 27° 49′, 121° 26', had a light NNE breeze, clear sky and a high NE swell. The Meefoo had barometer 29.52, a light NE breeze with very heavy NE swell. She was at 4 p. in 28° 08′, 121° 50′.

The centre of disturbance at noon on the 24th may have been in 26°, 127, but this is very uncertain.

On the 25th at noon the stations on the East Coast showed a fall in the barometer of nearly a tenth of an inch since noon on the previous day. Winds varied in direction from a SW gentle to moderate breeze at the N entrance to the Formosa Channel, at Wenchow WSW 2, barometer 29.47, at Steep Island NW 5, barometer 29.53, at North Saddle N 4, barometer 29.52, at Woosung NNE 4, barometer 29.50. In Northern Formosa the wind was a light WSW breeze. At Tamsui barometer 29.61. Fine weather prevailed over this district and also on the East Coast.

  From the vessels in this district we have the following observations. The Nurnberg had the wind backing from NNW from midnight July 24th to WSW at noon July 25th of force a strong to fresh breeze. The barometer had risen during this interval and read at noon 29.54, her position then being 26° 24', 121° 24'. The weather was cloudy but fine, but had been showery during the night. The Charters Tower was in 27° 07', 122° 36'. She experienced a fresh W breeze with heavy confused sea, but the weather was fine. The Verona was in 28° 07′, 123° 38′ and had a fresh WNW breeze with overcast squally weather and considerable cross sea, barometer 29.50 falling. During the afternoon the wind backed and increased in force. At midnight July 23rd it blew a moderate gale from W by S with overcast squally weather and a high confused sea, barometer 29.44 (lowest). At 8 p. there was a N swell. The Levuka was in 28° 57', 123° 59'. The barometer read 29.40 (reading uncorrected but thought to be nearly correct) and a fresh NNW gale was blowing with squally weather, the wind had backed since early morning and the barometer had fallen 0.10 since 6 a. During the afternoon and evening the barometer rose and the wind backed to WSW and decreased to a strong breeze. The Oceana was at noon in 28° 40', 128° 04'. The wind had backed since noon of the previous day. At midnight July 24th she had a moderate W gale with hard squalls and the sea rising with NE swell, barometer 29.29. At 4 a. July 25th, barometer 29.24 (lowest recorded) the wind had come to SW and blew a fresh gale with hard squalls. Lightning was observed in NNE and WNW. At noon the barometer showed a rise of 0.25 since 4 a. and now read 29.49, the wind being a fresh S gale with irregular sea. Later the wind moderated and at midnight was a moderate S breeze. The Phra Nang was at noon in 31° 28', 131° 51'. She had a moderate SSE breeze with drizzling rain and moderate sea, barometer 29.68. The Airlie at noon in 31° 10′, 125° 58′ had a moderate NE breeze, the sky overcast and a high swell. During the evening the wind backed to NNW and increased in force to a strong breeze with overcast rainy weather and a heavy E swell. The barometer readings from this ship are unfortunately worthless, the instrument being out of order. The Picciola was in 30° 44′, 122° 48′. She had a fresh NNE breeze with high confused sea.

  The centre was at noon on the 25th in 29°, 126°. The Oceana and Levuka were both at one time comparatively near to the centre as evidenced by the wind direction changing so quickly and it is doubtful whether there was any very considerable depression at the centre and probably storm force was not attained. The path between the 22nd and 24th July is dotted as it is not absolutely certain that the centre of depression of the 25th can be connected with the typhoon which passed over Formosa on the 22nd and in any case this portion of the track is very uncertain owing to lack of observations.

  During the early morning of the 26th the lighthouse stations at the mouth of the Yang-tze-kiang recorded the lowest reading of the barometer, the wind at the same time backing from N and NNE to NNW and NW, the force being from a moderate to strong breeze. The weather was overcast and gloomy with occasional showers at some stations. At North Saddle the lowest barometer reading was at 3 a. 29.45. Further South at Steep Island the lowest reading of the barometer occurred some time after 9-p. of the 25th. At 3 a. the reading was 29.49 and the wind which had been NW force 5 at 9 p. had backed to W with the same force at 3 a. Rain fell between 6 and 9 a.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

At the lighthouses at the N entrance to the Formosa Channel gentle to fresh SSW breezes and fine weather prevailed with rising barometer and in N Formosa light variable airs and fine weather with rising barometer were the conditions. In South Western Japan moderate to fresh E & SE winds prevailed with rainy weather and the barometer which had been rather low during the past 24 hours was now slightly rising. Nagasaki had at 6 a. 29.64.

 From the vessels in the area under the influence of the depression we have the following observa- tions :- The Airlie had the wind still backing from NNW the previous evening to WSW a strong breeze with squally appearance on the early morning of the 26th. At noon the wind was a fresh

SW breeze and the weather was fine. She was then in 27° 56′, 121° 53'.

                 She was then in 27° 56′, 121° 53'. With the Levuka the wind was still a strong WSW breeze, at noon the weather being fine. The barometer read 29.65. The Charters Tower had at noon in 29° 35', 126° 08′ a strong SSW breeze, barometer 29.65, but the sea was no longer confused though still high. The Verona during the early morning had a fresh SSW gale with overcast weather and confused sea. The direction had backed to S at noon and blew a strong breeze. The barometer was rising and then read 29.59. She was in 30° 39′, 127° 14'. The Phra Nang in 30° 23', 128° 31' had a moderate S breeze and fine weather, barometer 29.64. The Picciola in 34° 35′, 122° 47' had a fresh NE breeze and squally weather with high confused sea.

                                        The Yung- ping a little NW of the Saddles had a fresh NW breeze and heavy NE swell. The Richard Parsons bound from Shanghai to Hongkong was near N Saddle at 2 p. At midnight July 26th she had a fresh SW gale and high sea.

The centre was at noon on the 26th in about 31°0′, 1244°. On the 27th SW winds were established at sea South of 30° lat. On the East Coast at Steep Island the wind at noon was SW 2, the weather fine and the barometer read 29.70 at 9 a. At North Saddle the wind remained at NW of force 5 until 3 a. At 9 a. it had backed to SW and was of force 4, barometer 29.63 and fine weather. The other stations at the mouth of the Yang-tze-kiang had much the same weather except that the NW wind was lighter in force and the change in direction came some- what later and was to SE in some cases. At the Shantung Promontory winds were light NE breezes Chefoo had NE force 1, and Howki NE 3 at 9 a. The weather was fine at all these stations. Promontory lighthouse the barometer read 29.48 at 9 a. At Chefoo 29.47 both falling slightly. These barometer readings are uncorrected the errors being unknown. They apparently read too low. On the SE coast of Korea at Fusan the wind was a light to gentle SW breeze with passing showers during the afternoon. In Western Japan moderate SE veering to S winds prevailed with fair weather. At Nagasaki the barometer read 29.72 at 2 p. and was almost steady.

The following observations at noon on the 27th July are from vessels :-

The China had the wind from SSE force 5 (barometer 29.84) with moderate sea and swell on the previous midnight and the Yung-ping had a fresh NW breeze with rough sea at the same time. No barometer readings were entered in the log of the latter vessel.

 The centre of disturbance for noon on the 27th July cannot be stated from the foregoing data with any accuracy, but the circulation of winds indicate its existence and perhaps it may have been in about 33°, 125°.

On the 28th according to the Japanese Weather Maps the depression was situated over the Eastern Coast of Korea. The barometer had fallen generally over Japan and rain was falling on the W and NW Coasts with strong winds veering from S & SW to W. At Itsughara in the Korean Straits the barometer at 6 a. read 29.56 with strong S wind and rainy weather. At 2 p. the barometer was rising on the W coast of Japan and the wind had veered and blew strongly from the West. On the NW coast the barometer was still falling at 2 p. and winds which had been very light in the early morning now blew strongly from directions S to W. At Fusan in SE Korea the barometer read at 9 a. 29.50 (uncorrected) it had fallen 0.19 during the previous 24 hours. The wind was SW force 2, but during the night it had been SW of force 5. The weather was gloomy with drizzling rain. During the evening the weather cleared up and the barometer rose. At Jenchuan in NW Korea the barometer read at 3 a. 29.57 (uncorrected) the wind being from N of force 2. Later in the day the barometer rose and the wind backed through NW to WSW at 3 p. the force then being 3. The weather was fine all day. At Yuensan in NE Korea the barometer at 9 a. read 29.62 (uncor- rected) falling slightly. Light E airs and calms prevailed with very fine weather. Strong SW winds were blowing at sea between the East Coast of China and Western Japan. The centre of depression may possibly have been in 37°, 130°. There was at the time another area of low pressure in North Japan and the depression under notice probably moved NEward across the sea of Japan.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893 865

   On the 22nd July there was a depression S of Japan of which a few details will be given later on. In this connection the log of the barque Velocity proceeding from Honolulu to Hongkong is given below as she encountered bad weather between the 16th and 21st of July. No readings of the barometer were entered in the log.

   The weather prevailing during this period on the China Coast and in Luzon has been already described.

   In the absence of any other data within a distance of 1000 miles of the Velocity and for lack of any barometric observations taken on board that vessel it is impossible to determine whether the bad weather was caused by a typhoon in the Pacific or whether the bad weather was a burst of the SW monsoon due to general low pressure to the northward of the vessel.

   It is, however, not unlikely that the depression to the S of Japan first indicated by the Japanese weather maps on the night of the 21st and which subsequently passed over Central Japan was connected with the bad weather experienced by the Velocity. It may be that the stations in Formosa were included in the area under the influence of a typhoon in the Pacific on the 19th and two or three previous days. The winds had been chiefly N and NW though light in force.

The observations of the Phra Chom Klao about this time are appended together with those of the Pathan.

   The S.S. Nurnberg, from Hiogo to Nagasaki, had NE to N winds on the evening of the 21st and morning of the 22nd with fine weather. At midnight on the 22nd, near Nagasaki, she had a strong NNE breeze with showery weather (barometer 29.46).

On the morning of the 22nd, according to the Japanese weather maps, light to moderate N winds prevailed in Western Japan and strong NE winds in Central Japan with rainy weather. Later in the day winds had about the same direction but had increased much in force. During the evening NE and E gales and strong gales prevailed with rainy weather over Central Japan and strong N breezes in Western Japan with falling barometer. At noon on the 22nd the centre was in 3140, 1324. The centre of the depression had entered the S coast of Japan and was a little N of Kochi at 6 a. on the 23rd. It afterwards crossed the inland sea and NW Japan, and entered the sea of Japan during the afternoon. At 2 p. the centre was near Sakai on the NW coast.

A path from the 16th to the 21st has been dotted in increly as a rough indication of the possible. track.

866 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 Between the 23rd and 24th July a small depression was formed in the China Sea to the S of Hongkong. It subsequently developed and moved towards Hainan and passed into the Gulf of Tongking. On the 26th it entered the mainland at Haiphong.

The mean

On the 23rd July E and SE light and gentle breezes blew along the S coast of China with cloudy but fine weather. In the eastern part of this district the barometer had risen 0.10 and in the western part it had fallen. In Hongkong it was rising slightly. Light W airs and calm during the early morning changed to E about 11 a. of force 3. A gentle ESE breeze continued during the remainder of the day. Clouds came up and lightning was seen in the evening. temperature was as high as 82°.2. At Hoihow the barometer was falling and the weather very wet with heavy squalls from N to NW. At Pakhoi the barometer was falling and the weather cloudy with a gentle NE breeze. At Haiphong it had risen slightly with gentle NW to W breezes and overcast skies. In SW Luzon strong SSW breezes prevailed with squally and wet weather and rising barometer. At Bolinao during the previous evening the weather was squally with a fresh W breeze, but on the 23rd the wind backed to S again and became light but the weather continued squally and wet.

There were many vessels in that district of the China Sea to the E of Annam. Their logs show that a fresh SW monsoon was blowing over this area with fine weather. Gradients were rather steep for SW winds in that part of the China Sea and slight for E winds on the S coast of China. There appears to have been an area of slightly deficient pressure in about the latitude of 20° stretching eastward from Hainan.

On the 24th gentle E breezes prevailed on the S coast with a slowly rising barometer. Towards evening it began to fall again. In Hongkong it blew a moderate E or ENE breeze during the day, but it veered late in the evening and blew a fresh ESE breeze decreasing in force. The weather was squally and wet, 1.34 inch. of rain being measured during the 24 hours ending with midnight. At Victoria Peak it blew a moderate SE breeze at noon. The lower clouds came from about E by S. At Hoihow the barometer was almost steady, with a moderate NW breeze and heavy squalls of wind and rain from W to N. The rain was continuous, 2.33 inches being recorded for the 24 hours ending at 9 a. on the 24th. At Pakhoi the barometer showed a slight rise, with fine weather and a light N breeze. At Haiphong the barometer was steady, the wind a light WNW air and the sky overcast. In Western Luzon the barometer was rising. At Bolinao a light SE breeze prevailed with wet weather. The following are some of the observations :--

 Of those more immediately concerned the S.S. Alwine from Hongkong to Pakhoi was taken into Hui-Lung-San harbour before noon for shelter. During the early morning the NE wind was increasing from a fresh breeze to moderate gale with falling barometer. Towards evening a fresh NE gale was logged (barometer 29.46 at 8 p.). On board the S.S. Haiphong the following observations were taken:

heavy squalls with rain. very heavy squalls. barometer lowest.

    The barque Kitty in 18° 52', 111° 16' on the 23rd at noon had her barometer falling (29.54) and strong SW breeze. At 5 p. 29.49, at 4 a. on the 24th 29.42, at 5 a. 29.39 (lowest reading). We do not find any wind or weather recorded in the log book since the 23rd at noon. At noon on the 24th she was in 20° 08′, 113° 10'. The S.S. Propontis had the wind backing to SE (5), overcast (8 p. barometer 29.47). The S.S. Phra Chula Chom Klao had a moderate SW backing breeze at 8 p. (barometer 29.48) with showery weather. The Independent had much the same weather as at noon (8 p. barometer 29.50). The Rio had also the same as at noon but lightning was observed in the NW and NE and the sea was confused (barometer 8 p. 29.56). With the exception of the Alwine these vessels were all bound for Hongkong.

The centre of the small depression appears to have been in 20°, 112 at noon on the 24th. The following observations refer to noon on the 25th-

    In Western Luzon the barometer was falling with light to moderate S and SSW breezes and wet weather. Winds had become light and variable with cloudy, showery weather at the S coast stations to the E of Hongkong. The barometer showed a fall but at noon it began to rise again. At Hongkong the wind was SE 2 but changed about noon to W in a thunder squall. Later in the day light ESE breezes prevailed. It was showery all day.

         It was showery all day. The lower clouds backed to S during the day. At Victoria Peak the wind was SSE 3 at noon. At Hoihow the wind had backed. At 9 a. it was WSW 4 with wet weather. Towards evening it was SSW 4 with heavy rain squalls and lightning. At 9 a. on the 25th 2.85 inches of rain were measured. The barometer showed a slight rise between noon on the 24th and 25th, but was almost steady on the latter day. At Pakhoi the barometer had fallen decidedly. The wind was N 4. The weather overcast and showery. At Haiphong light W/N breezes prevailed with overcast weather and light passing showers, and slowly rising barometer. Winds had backed and become more southerly to the SE of Hainan. To the E of Annam and Cochin China fresh SW breezes and mostly fine weather prevailed. Pressure appears to have given way in the extreme south.

The complete observations for the 25th copied from the log book of the S.S. Alwine are given below. This vessel was lying in Hui-Ling-San harbour (21° 35', 111° 47′).

 The above observations can be taken as showing the general conditions prevailing all day from Hoihow eastwards. In Hoihow SE 2 prevailed. A very heavy squall of wind and rain from SW accompanied by lightning was experienced at 4.30 p. At Pakhoi winds were light from SE in the morning to S in the evening with wet weather, thunder and lightning. At Hoihow 1.19 and at Pakhoi 4.60 inches of rain were measured at 9 a. on the 26th. Barometer rising at all these stations except Haiphong. From this place we have the following observations:-

 The Avochie had the wind veering, barometer (29.24) lowest and greatest force of wind with squalls of typhoon force from E to SE at noon. The Chusan had the lowest barometer (29.28) at 2.30 p.

The wind had backed since morning, was now W/S 10.

 The centre of the typhoon was at noon on the 26th July in 20° 55', 106° 58'. It passed 5 miles south of the Avochie near noon and at 2.30 p. about the same distance north of Haiphong over the lowlying land forming the delta of the river. It was not of great intensity and the damage done at the town of Haiphong was of a trifling character, but during the passage across the Gulf of Tongking it must have developed somewhat. On the 24th and 25th it was but a small depression. After enter- ing the coast it apparently moved WNWward.

 On the 27th light S to SE winds and generally fine weather prevailed with rising barometer in the Gulf of Tongking and in the China Sea to the E and SE of Hainan. Much the same wind and weather prevailed on the 28th with barometer still rising. The S.S. Kongbeng at noon in 18° 26′, 111° 30′ experienced a severe squall from the W with heavy rain in the afternoon, but this was not connected with any cyclonic depression. At Hoihow a severe shock of earthquake (direction N to ?) was felt at 3 a. There were some indications of a depression E of Luzon previous to the 31st July. In Luzon on the 29th light NW to W breezes prevailed with falling barometer. At Bolinao on the 30th winds had been chiefly WSW gentle breezes with heavy rain. At South Cape (Formosa) light NE breezes prevailed with showery weather. The barometer fell in the evening. On the 31st the

wind veered and became SSE 2 with barometer rising in the evening. At Bolinao SE 2 prevailed with improving weather and rising barometer. At Lamocks and Breaker Point the wind became SE 2 during the evening. The weather was fine and the barometer slowly falling. At Hongkong the barometer was falling with W 1 and fine weather. The barque Velocity on the 29th in 17° 12', 131° 0' had SE 5, and on the 30th in 17° 31', 128° 40′ S 6. The following are some of the observa- tions made at noon on the 31st July:-

   The centre of the typhoon, which had increased in dimensions and violence, was now in 21°, 116°, but it is somewhat doubtful whether it blew with typhoon force anywhere. The greatest force recorded was a strong gale, and the depression at the centre did not seen to exceed 0.3 inches. The S.S. Memnon certainly reported force 11 and had a jib carried away, but the wind force was overestimated greatly on board that vessel.

   Fresh S and SE breezes with squally showery weather and rising barometer prevailed in southern Formosa. At Swatow and Lamocks E to SE gentle to fresh breezes with showers and falling baro- meter prevailed. At Breaker Point the wind veered from ENE 3 (a.m.) to SE 6 (midnight). The weather was wet and the barometer falling. At Hongkong it was calm in the early morning and from NW 1 chiefly during the remainder of the day. The barometer was falling. There was a slight thunderstorm at noon and so ne showers in the afternoon. At Victoria Peak at noon the wind was N 4. R-cum came from N with c-str. above them. At Hoihow light W breezes prevailed with steady barometer and overcast sky.

   The barometer readings on board the Namoa were not good, the instrument having apparently become deranged during the gale :-

 In southern Formosa moderate S winds and fine weather prevailed with steady barometer. In the northern part of the Formosa Channel moderate to fresh S and SW winds prevailed with fine weather and rising barometer. At Lamocks the weather was squally and showery in the morning with veering wind and rising barometer. At Swatow there was ESE 1 with rain in the early morn- ing hours.

    At 9 a. S 6 with oqp. and rising barometer. After 3 p. the wind decreased to SSW 3, (at 9 p.), but the weather remained gloomy and showery. At Breaker Point the weather was showery the whole day with winds SSE 5 till 9 a., and thereafter W 5 to SW 5. After 9 a. the barometer rose. At Hongkong it rose rapidly since the early morning hours with NNW 1. Towards 8 a. it backed and increased smartly in force. At 8 a: W/S 2. At 10 a: SW/W 5. At 11 a. SW/W 6. At noon: SW 6. It gradually calmed down in the afternoon. At Victoria Peak at noon: SW 5. The

lower clouds backed with the wind. Between 7 a. and 1 p. there were squalls of wind and rain. At Canton the day began with calm. Light W and N breezes prevailed during the day, and then it calmed again. The weather was overcast and gloomy with rain in the afternoon. The barometer rose towards midday.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 871

At 6 a. on the 2nd the centre of the typhoon passed a few miles to the eastward of Pedro Blanco moving northwards. The Orestes making for Hongkong encountered the central calm.

                                     After passing through the calm she had first NE 2 and then a fresh NW gale. At noon the centre was in 2310, 115, it having struck the coast about 9 a. Then the depression filled up quickly as usual.

On the 9th and 10th August light airs and calms prevailed over an area of which 30°, 126° may have been about the centre. The Nurnberg and the Benlarig navigating the area comprised by 28 and 32° lat. and 123° and 130° long. had similar weather with high barometer on the 9th but falling on the 10th during the latter part of the day. The same weather reigned in Japan.

On the 11th a small and insignificant depression appears to have been formed between the East Coast of China and SW Japan. For two or three days previous, S and SE light winds and fine weather had prevailed on the East Coast. The barometer was rather high and slightly rising. Similar weather prevailed in N Formosa.

These observations show the barometer to have been falling over the entire area, but more particularly over the southern portion. Fine weather prevailed. Towards evening the wind at the stations near the mouth of the Yangtze backed to E and rose somewhat, the barometer falling rather smartly at the same time. Steep Island had 29.78 and North Saddle 29.75 at 9 p. The Deuteros travelling NE had an increasing NE breeze and rising sea towards evening. The Oceana proceeding SW had the wind veering and increasing. At I p. she was hove to and did not proceed on her course till 9.30 p.

At 4 p: SSE 8 with frequent heavy squalls of wind and rain and a high sea rising. At 8 p: S 7 with lightning to SSE and SW. At inidnight SE 6. The glass was not read.

No proper cyclone is indicated, but the centre of the depression may have been in 29°, 126°, on the 11th, and at noon on the 12th in 3140, 12440°, but it was ill defined and very uncertain and the track is, therefore, merely dotted for the two days.

 The Deuteros steering NE had S4 at noon on the 12th and at midnight (barometer 29.85) with choppy sea. The Verona on a SW course had the wind veering to S and decreasing after noon, when the weather improved.

 Between the 14th and 15th August a sharp fall in the barometer took place on the S and SE coasts and in Formosa the fall being the most decisive in S Formosa and at the adjacent Channel Stations. Winds were on the 15th chiefly light SW airs and breezes on the S and SE coasts as far north as Swatow and calms prevailed in the N part of the Formosa Channel. In S Formosa light to gentle N and NW breezes prevailed and in N Formosa light E breezes. The weather was very fine in all these districts and the temperature was somewhat in excess. On the East Coast the barometer was almost steady and the weather fine with moderate SSW breezes. In Luzon the barometer had also fallen and the sky was cloudy with light N breezes in the north and light SW breezes in the south. In the China Sea light variable airs and breezes prevailed chiefly northerly to the S of Hongkong and SE of Annam the weather being fine. The observations point to a distant disturbance to the ESE of S Formosa perhaps in about 19°, 126°.

On the 16th August conditions were as follows:-The barometer had continued falling rapidly on the coast between Hongkong and Foochow, the fall amounting to about 0.1 since the previous day. In Formosa the decrease of pressures amounted to about 0.2 in the 24 hours. On the East Coast and in Luzon the barometer was almost steady. At Hongkong the weather was very fine, the sky being almost clear the whole day. During the morning some cum. was observed coming from WNW. In the afternoon a little c-str. was noticed and towards evening some cum. came from SW. The wind was from WSW light airs and breezes. The temperature was high, the mean of the 24 hours being $30.6. At Victoria Peak the wind was from W force 4 in the morning and SW 5 during the evening.. Breaker Pt. had SW 2 the whole day with partially clouded sky. Lamocks had NE 2 during the morning SW 2 veering to W at night. The weather was very fine and lightning was seen at night. At S Cape the wind was NW 5 during the morning hours with cloudy sky.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 On the 17th August the barometer continued to fall slightly at Hongkong. The wind was chiefly from WNW. About noon it backed to SW and increased to force 5 at 4 p. (barometer 29.66). It afterwards decreased to force 3 at midnight (barometer 29.70). The mean temperature of the 24 hours was 83.3 this being 2°.4; in excess of the mean of 5 years. The weather was fine with detached clouds the lower ones coming from WSW. Some c-cum was observed coming from E and above this c-str was seen. There was a solar halo. Victoria Peak had WSW 5 during the morning, SW 5 in the afternoon and evening. Breaker Point had WSW 3 in the morning increasing to WSW 5 towards evening. Weather fine till midday, then overcast with rain, thunder and lightning at night. The barometer was falling but slightly and at midnight read 29.64. At Lamocks the wind was veering from SSW 4 at 3 a. (barometer 29.60) to WSW 6 at midnight (barometer 29.60). The weather was fine in the morning but squally and wet with thunder and lightning during the evening. At S Cape the wind backed from WSW 7 at 6 a. (barometer 29.63 rising) to SW 5 at midnight (barometer 29.80). Anping at 3 a. had W 9 with rain, thunder and lightning (barometer 29.53 rising) the wind backed and decreased in force during the day. At 3 p. SSW 6 (barometer 29.67). At 9 p. SE 2 (barometer 29.72). The weather was rainy all day. Fisher Island also had the wind backing and decreasing with rising barometer at 3 a. W 9 (barometer 29.49), at midnight SSW 7 (barometer 29.66). The weather was wet and squally the whole day. At Keelung at 3 a. the barometer read 29.26 and it had risen by 9 a. (29.38). The wind at 9 a. was NE 3 at 9 p. SE 1 (barometer 29.68). In the evening the weather became fine. At Tamsui there was NE 2 at 9 a. (barometer 29.42), at 9 p. NE 2 (barometer 29.65) with fine weather. At Chapel Island the barometer was falling and the wind backing and increasing at 6 a. SSW 4 (barometer 29.58) at 6 p. SSE 7 (barometer 29.44) at midnight SSE 8 (barometer 29.47). The weather was wet all day. At Amoy the wind also backed and increased in force at 6 a. W 3 (barometer 29.60), at 6 p. SW 4 (barometer 29.51), at midnight SW 4 (barometer 29.53) with overcast sky in the morning and rain during the evening. At Ockseu the barometer was falling 6 a. (29.44) till about noon and it then remained nearly steady till 3 p. (29.38) when it commenced rising (9 p. 29.49). The wind was NNW 5 at 6 a. and it then commenced backing and increasing in force at noon WSW 5, at 3 p. SSW 7, at 6 p. S 7, at 9 p. S 9, at 10.30 p. S by E 11, at midnight SSE 8 force diminishing (barometer 29.57). There was rain the whole day and heavy squalls during the evening. This station was at noon 50 miles SSW of the centre, at 9 p. 60 miles SE of the centre. The detailed observations made at Turnabout for 17th August are appended. A NNW storm was blowing up to 8 a. when the wind commenced backing and diminishing in force, at 10.30 a. NW 9, at noon WNW 7, at 1.30 p. SW 3. It then gradually increased in force backing to S 10 at 4.30 p., SSE 11 at 5.30 p. and it continued to blow with storm force from SE until 9.30 p., afterwards diminishing in force with direction S. The lowest reading of the barometer was made at about noon (29.26.) Rain fell nearly the whole day with the exception of a few hours when the centre was within a few miles but the sky remained overcast. The centre was at noon 15 miles NNE of this station moving W by N. It was at 9 p. bearing W by N. 70 miles.

At Middle Dog the barometer was falling rapidly during the morning hours and attained the lowest point at noon (29.21). After this time it commenced rising and at 3 p. read 29.23, at 9 p. 29.54. These readings appear to require a positive correction of about 0.05. The wind was from NNE 6 increasing during the morning, at noon from ENE 7. At 2.30 p. it suddenly veered to SE in a heavy squall. Later it backed to ENE again continuing to blow from that direction until 6 p. After that hour the direction became SE with force 7 to 8 during the evening. The weather was overcast, squally and showery the whole day. The centre passed between this station and Turnabout about noon. At Foochow the lowest recorded reading of the barometer was at 3 p. (29.30)-about which time the centre entered the coast a few miles to the southward-and between that hour and 9 (29.52) it rose. The weather was wet and squally with NE 4 in the morning, NNE 7 at 3 p. and ESE 5 at 9 p.

At Wenchow the lowest reading of the barometer was at noon (29.55 uncorrected). The weather was wet and squally with wind at 9 a. NE 5 veering and increasing, at 2 p. SE 7. It remained from SE diminishing gradually in force, at 9 p. SE 2. At Steep Island the barometer was almost steady with SE 4 and fine weather.

p.

 The most important log received is that of the Lennox a copy of which is annexed. The centre appears to have passed almost over the vessel just before noon. She had a N backing storm during the morning hours with squalls of hurricane force, heavy rain and a confused sea mostly from the same direction as the wind. At 11.30 a. the wind suddenly veered to S and decreased to force 3. At 12.30 p. the wind increased to hurricane force from the same direction. At 2 p. there was typhoon force from SSE. At 4 p. the barometer had risen and the wind was gradually decreasing, at 8 p. S 10, at midnight SSE 8. The gentle S breeze which blew in the central area lasted one hour and the sea appears to have calmed down to some extent with the wind. The diameter of the area appears to have been about 10 miles. The wind was strongest as usual after the centre had passed and the sea though much confused had chiefly the same direction as the wind. Other vessels about NE and within 200 miles of the centre had fresh ESE veering gales. The Bengloe sustained some damage and the cargo shifted on account of the vessel rolling frightfully in the heavy sea. She was in considerable danger from the fist she sustained and put into the Hieshans for shelter and to trim the cargo. Those SW and within 250 miles of the centre had fresh WSW backing gales towards the afternoon. The Hailoong,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 875

(Captain HALL), at anchor in Pinghai Bay (25° 10′, 119° 10′) had NW 6 with heavy rain squalls during the morning with falling barometer. She was then WSW of the centre. At 2 p. the vessel was at anchor in 25° 20', 119° 33′ and had a fresh SW gale (barometer 29.30) with very violent squalls and rising barometer and during the evening the wind continued to back and at 19 p. there was a strong S gale (barometer 29.55). Vessels to the South of Hongkong had moderate SW breezes and fine weather. The centre was at 3a. on August 17th in 24° 50′, 120° 55′ moving NW, at noon in 25° 35', 120° 5' and moving towards W.

The wind was WSW 3 to 4 during the morning hours, backing and decreasing in the afternoon. Lightning was seen at night. In N Formosa the barometer had risen rapidly and light to gentle variable breezes prevailed with showery weather in the evening. The barometer had risen considerably at all stations on the SE coast particularly in the N part of the district. At Swatow and the adjacent lighthouses strong SW breezes decreasing prevailed with very wet weather and much the same wind and weather prevailed at Amoy. At Chapel Island, Ockseu and Turnabout fresh SE to S veering gales were blowing during the early morning. About noon the force decreased to moderate and light breezes. The weather was wet all day.

                    The weather was wet all day. At Middle Dog there was SE 6 to 7 veering and decreasing in the afternoon with showery weather. Foochow had S 4 decreasing at 3 a. squally with rain. During the evening the weather became fine with light S air. On the East Coast moderate SE breezes prevailed with fine weather except at Wenchow and Ningpo where it was showery in the morning. The barometer was falling at the stations along the Yangzte river with moderate to light NE veering breezes and fine weather.

  Vessels in the China Sea S of Hongkong had moderate to fresh S and SW winds with cloudy weather. Those in the Formosa Channel during the morning fresh to moderate SSW (in the South part) to SSE (in the North part) gales decreasing with very high sea and dirty weather. Off the East Coast and NE of Formosa there was a very high sea with chiefly strong SE breezes decreasing.

The centre at noon on August 18th was, perhaps, in about 260, 116° moving WNWard.

 On the 19th August the barometer showed a further rise on the entire coast. Winds were light and variable breezes, chiefly SE, on the SE coast, moderate SE breezes on the E coast.

Weather was generally fine except in the Southern part of the Formosa Channel where showers prevailed. The barometer had risen at the easternmost stations on the Yangzte, but had fallen slightly at Ichang (baro- meter 29.57 at noon). The wind had veered since the previous day and was now from SE light to moderate breezes at Wuhu (barometer at nnoo 29.66) and Kiukiang (barometer at noon 29.64). At Hankow (barometer 29.47), it was E 1 increasing to E 3 at night and veering to SE 3 on the morning of the 20th. The weather was fine at all these stations.

On the 19th August, therefore, there yet remained some indications of the late typhoon which had now become a feeble depression. The centre may have been on the 19th at noon in 2810, 113o. The average isobars, wind forces and directions from 9 p. on the 16th August to 9 p. on the 17th are shown in figure 2. The averages are in this case influenced by the circumstance that on the 16th the centre was on the east coast of Formosa, while on the 17th it was in the Formosa Channel. It entered the coast of China about 3 p.

The average angle between the wind and the radius was at 100 miles distance from the centre as follows:-68° to the N of the centre, 50° to the W, 47° to the S, and 58° to the East. This angle At a distance of 30 was greatest in the right-hand semi-circle, the centre moved NW by Wward. miles from the centre the angle was 69°, at 75 miles 52°, at 125 miles 57°, and at 200 miles 32°. The average angle between the wind and the radius was 54° i.e. the incurvature was 36° or about 3 points.

The radius of the calm area was about 5 miles. Within 20 miles it blew more than force 7, but the observations do not agree about the greatest force. Only the Lennox reported full typhoon force. Between 30 miles and 50 miles from the centre it blew with force 61, at 75 miles from the centre with force 7, at 125 miles from the centre with same force, and at 200 miles from the centre with force 5. It is a curious fact that it blew at a distance from the centre on an average harder than nearer the centre, but such is sometimes the case when the centre is near the shore.

There was a very heavy sea to the N and NE of Formosa, with came from the quarter where the typhoon originated in the Pacific. centre in front of the centre and within 200 miles behind the centre. in Europe where the rainy area stretches out in front of the centre. the centre beyond 150 miles.

   On August 30th the barometer had risen at the stations on the East Coast and as far south as Foochow. On the SE and S coasts the barometer was almost steady, but inclined to fall on the whole and gradients had become favourable for NE winds and these blew over these districts with force two to three. In Luzon the barometer was steady with light SW breezes chiefly. Some vessels to the South of Hongkong and North of 20° lat. had moderate E and NE breezes. Others in about 17°, 114° had moderate SW breezes with overcast skies. Some in 15°, 112° light variable breezes while one vessel off the Annam Coast had a strong WNW breeze. There appears to have been a very shallow depression forming SE of Hainan. During the evening the weather at Hongkong became very wet and the wind increased to a fresh ENE breeze. At Hoihow there was a thunderstorm evening with ESE 4 and falling barometer.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 On August 31st the barometer was still falling on the S and SE coasts particularly at Hoihow and Hongkong. Winds were moderate to fresh NE to E breezes decreasing and veering between Hoihow and Swatow with showery weather. In Luzon the barometer had risen and light to mode- rate S breezes prevailed with cloudy sky. Vessels in about 19°, 113° had moderate SSW breezes with very squally weather and much rain also a swell. The Warrior near Hongkong had a moderate E gale decreasing with heavy rain squalls during the early morning.

The centre of the small depression was in 20°, 112° moving NNWard.

At Haiphong and Pakhoi light W to N breezes prevailed with cloudy weather and rain at Pakhoi towards evening. At Hoihow there was a moderate SW breeze with showery weather. At Hongkong light E airs and breezes with very wet weather and distant thunder. At Canton a light E breeze veering and increasing to SE 5 at 3 p. decreasing and backing again during the evening. weather was wet and gloomy. Strong S and SW breezes with high

              Strong S and SW breezes with high sea and wet squally weather prevailed in the China Sea to the SE of Hainan. The depression appears to have been almost stationary and the centre was perhaps at noon on September 2nd in about 211°, 111°.

On the 3rd September the barometer at Pakhoi was rising slightly with a gentle N backing breeze and wet weather at 4 p. WNW 4, at 8 p. W 4 (barometer 29.57). At Hoihow the barometer was on the point of rising and there was a moderate SW gale during the day, decreasing in the evening. Weather was showery in the morning and became fine at night. The barometer was rising slightly at Hongkong and the wind was E 1 to 2 in the morning, SSE 1 in the afternoon with rain in the early morning, cloudy during the remainder of the day. The barometer had risen and light SSE breezes prevailed with cloudy sky. Fresh SW breezes prevailed in the China Sea. The centre was perhaps in 2110, 11010. In this slight depression except on the 3rd September the cyclonic circulation of winds was at no time well marked. At first (29th and 30th) there appears to have been a band of slightly deficient pressure in about 17° to 19° lat. and perhaps 110° to 120° long. lying WSW to ENE and most marked in the W side where there appears to have been a slight nucleus and where it appears to have been more squally than elsewhere. On the northern side of this area NE to E moderate breezes were blowing and on the S side SW fresh breezes. On both sides of the area which appears to have been moving NNW the weather was squally. The SW winds reached the coast of S Formosa on the afternoon of the 31st but E winds still blew on the SE coast. The barometer fell quickly over the entire coast on the 1st September and the S winds had advanced to the SE coast and Hainan but pressure though low was very uniform over a large area. On the 2nd the fall in the barometer had almost ceased but there was some indication of the isobars being closed. On the 3rd September there was a distinct cyclonic circulation of wind and the centre of disturbance appears to have passed E of Pakhoi moving NNW ward. The Activ was lying in that port and her Captain noted the appearances as pointing to a typhoon in the neighbourhood. Probably had the area remained longer at sea it would have developed and given birth to a typhoon as the conditions had now become favourable. The lowest recorded reading of the barometer in the neighbourhood of the central area was about 29.6 and the highest force of wind a moderate gale.

  These two vessels were out in the Pacific far from the usual track of steam vessels and the information contained in their logs is very imperfect, but sufficient to indicate to some extent the tracks of several typhoons, one of which subsequently passed into the Formosa Channel.

The log of the Charmer appears to show that the weather experienced was caused by two typhoons and in this connection it may be remarked that a depression coming from the S entered the S coast of Central Japan on the afternoon of the 4th September and subsequently moved NNEward across NW Japan. On the 1st the Hesperia was at noon in 29° 42', 128° 35' and was about 200 miles NNW of the Charmer. She had a strong NE breeze with very high SE swell and overcast weather with falling barometer (at noon 29.78). This vessel was bound to Yokohama and on the 2nd September at noon was in 31° 26', 131° 56'. She then had ENE 6 with rain squalls and very high sea (barometer 29.76). On the 3rd she was in 33° 21', 136° 01′ (barometer 29.77) and then had a strong NE increasing and veering breeze with overcast weather and moderate sea. On the 4th in 34° 44', 139° 11′ (barometer 29.74) she had a strong E breeze with gloomy wet weather.

The Enos Soule on the 1st in 20° 04', 127° 45′ had a moderate WNW breeze with heavy rain squalls. On the 2nd in 20" 12', 126° 42' a light WSW breeze and fine weather and a fresh gale from WSW at midnight with high cross sea, rain squalls and "low glass." No barometric observations were entered in the log of this vessel. The barometer fell slightly in SW Japan on the 2nd and 3rd and light and moderate E to NE breezes prevailed in the extreme S of SW Japan on those days. The depression entered the S Coast about 4 p. on September 4th. The centre was, perhaps, on the 2nd September at noon in 26°, 130° moving northwards. A path has been dotted between the 2nd and 4th September.

The observations on board the Charmer cannot be altogether trusted, and the barometer readings are useless, but there appears to be little doubt judging from the wind observations recorded, taken in conjunction with those made on the Enos Soule, that immediately after the passage northwards of the typhoon experienced on September 2nd the Charmer at once came under the influence of another typhoon. The wind is noted on the evening of the 2nd as "hauling round the Compass" and on the 3rd it was from NNE force 10 veering and decreasing. The Enos Soule had at the latter time a moderate W gale.

The Nurnberg on the 3rd September in 29° 42', 128° 32′ at noon had NE 5 (barometer 29.65) with cloudy weather and SE swell. Some vessels off the East Coast had light NNW breezes and fine weather with swell. On the East Coast the barometer had risen slightly during the past 24 hours

and fine weather with light variable breezes prevailed. At S. Cape, Formosa, there was a strong breeze (barometer 29.75) and fine weather. In N Formosa light W breezes with fine weather prevailed (barometer at Keelung 29.74).

The centre on September 3rd at noon may have been in 25° 130, but this is very uncertain. On the 4th September the barometer was falling on the East Coast and in Formosa. In Northern Formosa light NW breezes prevailed with fine weather (barometer at Keelung 29.69). At S. Cape there was a moderate W breeze (barometer 29.66) with cloudy sky. The Enos Soule in 21° 0', 125° 25' had a strong WNW breeze with rain squalls and high cross sea. The Charmer had a moderate

ENE gale with high cross sea in 27° 45', 130° 16'. Off the East Coast many vessels had fresh N to NNW breezes. The weather was fine, but a swell was reported in some cases.

The Thermopylae in 31o 4', 126° 40′ had a moderate NE breeze.

The position of the centre at noon on the 4th September was perhaps in 26o, 128o1?2. The following are the noon observations for September 5th:-

The foregoing observations show that the barometer was falling at all the Coast Stations, slightly on the East Coast but rapidly in Formosa and at the adjacent Channel Stations, also in Luzon. On the East Coast fresh to strong N breezes were blowing with fresh N gales at sea off the coast. Near the N entrance to the Formosa Channel fresh to strong N breezes prevailed. In the channel and off' the SE coast winds were gentle N to NE breezes. A large number of logs have been received from vessels in the China Sea all indicating very squally weather with fresh to strong SW and W breezes to the southward of 16° latitu le. In Luzon also fresh SW monsoon prevailed with squally wet weather. In N Formosa there was rain, elsewhere the weather was fine.

The Charmer and Enos Soule in the Pacific had, the former, a fresh ESE gale, the latter, a fresh WNW breeze with overcast squally weather and high cross sea. The centre on September 5th at noon was in about 26° 15′, 126° 0′.

The noon observations for the 6th September at the Coast Stations show that the barometer had fallen at all stations since the previous day. The fall had been very rapid at the Formosa and adjacent Channel Stations while on the East and South Coasts pressure had decreased but moderately fast. A considerable reduction of pressure had also taken place in Luzon. The area over which low pressure existed was therefore very large at this time. In N Formosa and at S Cape the decrease amounted to about 0.25 inch and at noon the latter station gives the lowest barometer reading. This reading however is nearly 0.2 inch lower than those of Takow and Anping and in fact for the next few days an area of low pressure lay over a district to the E of S Formosa. Strong N to NE breezes and strong gales were blowing on the East Coast and at sea off the coast. The weather was cloudy but dry except in one or two instances. The Lennox and Ancona whose logs are given in detail were hove to in about 2710, 12210, and on the evening of the 5th they experienced whole gales from N decreasing somewhat and veering during the morning of the 6th. The lowest readings of the barometer were taken on the morning of the 6th after which the barometer rose. In northern Formosa increasing NW gales were blowing with rain and at S Cape a strong WNW gale. On the SE coast chiefly NW light to gentle breezes. In the northern Luzon there was a gentle WSW breeze. The Enos Soule about 200 miles ESE of S Cape had a moderate SW gale with high sea and E swell. The Charmer 450 miles ENE of N Formosa had moderate ESE gale with overcast sky.

The centre was at noon on September 6th in 25° 45′, 123° 15′, moving about WSW and during the evening it advanced directly upon Tamsui and Keelung. The centre passed a little to the north of Keelung about 9.30 p. and over Tamsui, situated a few miles further west, about 10.30 p.

At 9.30 p. the barometer at Keelung read 28.46 (lowest reading), at 10 p. 28.49, at 10.80 p. 28.58, at 11 p. 28.68. Between 9 and 10 p. the wind backed from WSW to SSW and at 11 p. it had come to SE all the time blowing with typhoon force accompanied by terrific squalls and torrents of rain. At midnight typhoon force continued from SE but towards 1 a. of the 7th the force had diminished and at 1.30 a. was SE force 8 only decreasing with less heavy rain. The barque Claro Babuyan lying in the port dragged notwithstanding that she had four anchors down, and the rain was so thick that it was impossible to see the length of the ship.

At Tamsui the wind fell from NW 12 or full typhoon force at 9 p. to variable force 1 at 10 p. (barometer 28.69). The following is noted in the register:-"10 p. absolute calm for about half an hour, then light movement of air for about an hour. At midnight the wind burst from the opposite quarter SE with typhoon force (barometer 28.66). At 1.30 a. on the 7th it was still SE 12 but went down to SE 4 at 4 a. Heavy rain fell, but whether continuously and during the central calm is not noted.

For some observations taken at Twatutia situated about 10 miles SE by S from Tamsui we are indebted to Captain F. ASHTON and Mr. H. C. Mathieson, a.m.I.C.E., who both noted a distinct lull in the wind between 10 p. and 11 p., Captain ASHTON says to force 3 or 4, and that there was "no rain to speak of" during this interval. Mr. MATHIESON had the lowest reading 28.80 at 10.15 p. Captain ASHTON at 11 p. 28.65 (uncorrected). The wind was about WSW 11 before the centre and about SSE after. Lightning was noted at 0.30 a. on the 7th towards the S but no thunder was heard. The central area where calm and gentle breezes prevailed appears to have had a diameter of about 25 miles. At Twatutia the river rose 16 feet putting the town 4 feet under water. At Tamsui the S.S. Pekin had two anchors down and was steaming towards them but dragged nevertheless. Many cargo boats and small craft were lost and many lives.

 The S.S. Asagao was the only vessel at sea comparatively near to the centre at this time. She was at midnight about 80 miles NNW of Tamsui and had a strong N veering gale with heavy rain squalls (barometer 29.39 rising). Other vessels either remained in port or had gone into shelter, the SE coast having been warned from the Hongkong Observatory already on the 5th. After

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 883

midnight on the morning of the 7th the typhoon moved SW/W down the Formosa Channel-a most unusual course. This was due to the low pressure area lying to the E of S Formosa, round which for the next two or three days the typhoon revolved in the usual manner, keeping the low pressure area on its left hand, and also to the fact that pressure was comparatively high in central and northern China.

   The tri-hourly readings made at the stations in and near the Formosa Channel from September 6th at 3 p. to September 8th at 9 a. are annexed and they sufficiently indicate the nature of the weather prevailing while the typhoon was in the Channel. The stations on the W side had increasing NW wind with falling barometer as the centre approached, and veering to about NE with rising barometer as it passed. Fisher Island and Anping on the E side had the wind backing after the early morning of the 7th as the centre moved down the Channel.

On

   In this connection it may be mentioned that on the 6th there was a ridge of slightly higher pressure in the neighbourhood of these stations which together with Takow and S Cape appear to have been governed as regards wind direction entirely by the depression to the E of S Formosa. the 6th NNW to NNE gales blew at Anping and Takow and a storm blew at S Cape. The latter station was not at all affected by the typhoon moving down the Channel and the wind stuck to WNW the whole time. After 3 a. on the 7th the barometer rose rapidly. This disturbance which subsequently moved NE in the Pacific, governed the wind and weather at S Cape on the 6th, and the Charmer on the 7th in 26° 05′, (127° 30'?) had the barometer falling again with ESE 4 and rain squalls. On the 8th in 26° 22′, 125° 29', the barometer was low with NE 2. This appears to have been the depression that arrived in S Japan on the 12th.

   Two vessels the Loosok and the Sydney encountered the centre in the Formosa Channel during the afternoon and evening of the 7th September respectively. Their logs are printed but the positions given in the Sydney's log appear to be wrong, as according to these she was very near Lamocks at the time and the observations by no means agree with those taken at that station. She was probably taken out of her course by a strong current. All other ships were in port.

   Off the E coast on the 7th September NE 6 and 7 prevailed with barometer 29.72 at noon at Steep Island. Vessels in the China Sea in 18o, 115", had 29.60 NW 5 at the same time.

From the 6th at 6 p. to the 7th at 6 p. the average distances from the centre at which different barometer readings were made were as follows; 28.50: in the centre, 28.70: 20 miles, 29.20: 40 miles, 29.30: 65 miles, 29.40: 120 miles, 29.50: 220 miles. At 6 p. on the 7th the dimensions became, perceptibly smaller. Possibly the depression had been filling up ever since the centre entered the Formosa Channel, but then it was only very slowly before 6 p. on the 7th. At midnight on the 7th the distances were; 29.30: 25 miles, 29.40: 60 miles, 29.50: 180 miles. At 6 a. on the 8th they were; 29.40: 40 miles and 29.50: 80 miles. At 9 a. on the 8th the barometer read 29.50 at a distance of 60 miles from the centre.

 From the 6th September at noon to the 8th at 3 a. the force of wind was 7 at a distance of 50 miles from the centre, at 100 miles it was 6, and 4 at 200 miles. It blew perhaps one figure on Beaufort's scale higher behind than at the same distance in front of the centre.

 During the same period the average angle between the wind and the radius was 45°. Within 100 miles of the centre it did not change with the distance and amounted to 46°. It was most uniform in different bearings nearest the centre. Between 100 and 150 miles it was 54°, and between 150 and 250 miles it was 29°. Within 250 miles the angle depends upon the bearing of the centre. In front the wind blew across the path. Behind it blew more nearly straight into the centre. To the NNE

of the centre the angle was 21°, to ENE 34°, to ESE 45°, to SSE 58°, to SSW 70°, to WSW 60°, to WNW 38 and to NNW it was 43o.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 887

The radius of the calm centre was 12 miles at Tamsui, perhaps it was only 5 miles at 4 p. on

the 7th:

* No readings taken between 10p. and midnight while centre was passing over this place.

$ From tri-hourly observations.

On the 6th and 7th it was densely overcast to the north of the centre within 300 miles and to the south, east and west within 100 miles. On the 8th it was overcast within 100 miles of the centre. It was raining within 200 miles to the north of the centre and within 100 miles on the other sides of the centre. The rainfall was excessive at the stations near the northern entrance to the Channel, but became comparatively small at the stations in the South of the Channel near to which the centre after- wards passed. There was a high cross sea within 300 miles of the centre.

This typhoon though not a subsidiary depression may still be considered to be one in the same sense as cyclonic storms in Great Britain are considered subsidiary to the low pressure centre near Iceland. We see the effect of this in strong NE winds to the North of Formosa, in prevailing NW winds in South Formosa, in the weakness of winds to the SE of the centre compared to those NW of the centre, while the centre was in the Formosa Channel, in the N winds encountered at a distance to the SW of the centre and in the course towards SW which the centre took and of which there is no previous case on record in the Formosa Channel. The centre was carried round a point situated· SE of South Cape. From this point the low pressure subsequently approached S. Japan and in the neighbourhood of the same place, SE of S. Cape, the next typhoon appears to have originated about the 17th September, and the latter typhoon proceeded WNWard moving round a point in the China Sea which the preceding typhoon which had moved SWard had approached on the 10th September. Subsequently another typhoon originated about the 23rd September in the China Sea a short distance towards the SE of the point where the two previous typhoons had disappeared on the 11th and 20th September. The last mentioned typhoon then moved NNEward in the China Sea keeping the low pressure area on its left. The movement of all these typhoons was caused by their centres being pressed forward by winds circulating against the sun, round an area with comparatively low pressure.

The following are the observations for noon of the 8th September:-

 The observations for noon of the 8th show that the barometer was now rising on the SE coast where light to gentle NE winds chiefly prevailed with mostly fine weather. It was showery at Swatow and Breaker Point. On the South Coast at Hongkong the barometer was almost steady, the lowest reading when corrected for daily variation occurred at noon, the actual reading at this time being 29.50. Light NW breezes prevailed with drizzling rain at intervals.

 Vessels approaching Hongkong from the SSW had strong NNW breezes with rain squalls and high sea. Off the Coasts of Annam and Cochin China fresh to strong WSW breezes and squally weather prevailed and there was similar winds and weather off the W coast of S. Luzon. The centre was in 21° 45', 114° 55′ at noon on the 8th September moving towards the SSW.

The following are the observations for September 9th at noon :-

The barometer shows a considerable rise at Hongkong and at the adjacent stations or the SE coast and gentle NE breezes prevailed at the stations with cloudy weather. Further west at Hoihow moderate N breezes prevailed with squally weather. The Presto off the coast of S Hainan had the wind veering from NW 5 at noon to NE 5 at midnight as she progressed NEward with rough sea at the latter hour (barometer 29.65). She was to the SW of the centre at noon and to the NW at mid- night. The Picciola at noon NE of the centre (in 21° 23', 114° 51') steering towards the SSE had a fresh E breeze veering to SE at midnight (barometer 29.62 rising) with squally weather and swell. Vessels to the E of Annam had fresh W to SW breezes. The centre was at noon on the 9th in 20° 15', 113° 05'., There was no vessel within 100 miles of this position, but the cyclonic circulation of winds is well marked.

  The barometer had risen slightly at all these stations except Hoihow. On the SE coast light NE breezes chiefly prevailed with fine weather. At Hoihow the wind had veered to NE since the previous day and light rain fell in the morning hours, but the weather became fine in the evening. The Presto now to the north of the centre had rain squalls with moderate ENE breeze decreasing with rising barometer. The Pakshan had experienced squally weather with wind veering from NW 6 on the previous midnight to NNE 4 in the morning with heavy confused sea. The barometer was lowest at 4 a. (barometer 29.47) and during the evening it was rising with wind NE 6. Vessels S and SE of the centre had light to moderate W to SSW breezes. The centre of the depression which was now very feeble was in 18° 15', 112° 30′ moving SSWard.

890 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

There

On the 13th September a very severe storm passed over Central Japan of which full particulars are given on the Japanese Weather Maps. As explained above the depression which lay off S. Cape on the 6th moved NE. From the 9th September pressure remained persistently low off the coast of S and SW Japan varying but little from 29.20 froin the 9th to the 12th. Strong E to NE winds chiefly blew in Central and Western Japan between the 9th and 11th. Strong N breezes and fresh gales blew at the E coast of China and between Shanghai and Nagasaki with very high seas. is no information available in the Pacific to the E of Formosa or S of Japan. On the 12th the wind backed to N in Western Japan, but continued from E in Central Japan. At noon the centre was in 30° 30′, 131° 30′. On the morning of the 13th the storm entered the S coast of Japan and passed very nearly over Kobe, where the S.S. Camelot, Melbourne and many other vessels, which have sent us observations, experienced the full force of the storm varying from N 10 to W 7. The centre then entered the Sea of Japan and in the afternoon travelled rapidly to the NE. At noon on the 13th it was in about 37°, 137°.

On the 13th and 14th September the barometer rose considerably on the whole coast of China particularly in the north and gradients were established for NE winds which blew strongly on the coast and in the northern part of the China Sea on the 14th and 15th, during which time fine weather prevailed. On the latter day pressure gave way slightly and on the 16th the barometer showed a general fall on the coast particularly in the neighbourhood of S Formosa. At S Cape the wind bad increased in force from the NNE and the weather had become wet and squally, light NE breezes prevailed on the SE coast while moderate to fresh gales were felt in the northern part of the Formosa Channel. The weather was generally fine.

Between the 14th and 16th moderate SW breezes prevailed off the Cochin China Coast, and in S Luzon on those days, winds were chiefly light S breezes with cloudy weather and almost steady barometer.

From the observations taken on board vessels in the China Sea it is found that on the 14th and 15th there was a trough of low pressure stretching from about 14°, 110°, to about 17°, 120° on the northern side of which fresh NE breezes to moderate gales were blowing while to the south of it moderate SW breezes were blowing. This was really the remainder of the previous typhoon which may be traced after the 11th, but the centre was partially surrounded by winds that did not exceed gentle breezes in force on the 12th and 13th. On the 16th this area moved northwards and a depres- sion was formed in it a little to SEward of S Cape and subsequently on the 17th the centre passed very nearly over that place. It will be seen from the S Cape observations for that day that the depression had no very great intensity and had not been formed long enough to develope into a typhoon such as usually arrives on that coast from the Pacific.

The following are the observations for the 16th September at noon :-

The centre was at noon on September 17th in 21° 40′, 121° 15', moving NWard and at 4 p. it passed a little to the North of S Cape. The barometer reading at 4 p. was 29.21 (lowest). At noon the wind force decreased to a gentle breeze and so continued until after 3 p. the direction during the time varying between N and NE but being chiefly N. At 3 p. it commenced backing and at 4 p. was from WNW 5. At 6 p. it had come to SSW 3 and at 7 p. it was SSE increasing quickly in force with rapidly rising barometer. During the night of the 17th to 18th a fresh to strong SE gale blew at the station with wet squally weather. The diameter of the central area when near S Cape where gentle breezes prevailed was about 60 miles. The lowest readings of the barometer were taken at Takow (29.29) and Anping (29.25) at 4 p. and at Fisher Island at 5.30 p. (29.22) after which hours the barometer rose at those stations. There is some uncertainty as to the position of the centre after it passed near S Cape at 4 p. The barometer at Fisher Island was as low within 0.01 at 5.30 p. as it was at S Cape at 4 p. while Anping and Takow lying between had higher readings, moreover the wind circulation at Fisher Island, Anping and Takow do not agree well with the position of the centre. The wind during the early part of the evening was blowing round the Island of Formosa owing probably to the mountain chain which runs north and south through its centre. The Takow wind forces are over estimated. Moderate to whole NNE gales blew in the Channel during the 17th, the higher forces being registered in the northern part. The weather was overcast, but dry until the evening when rain set in at some of the more southern stations. In N Formosa moderate SE breezes prevailed with showers at Keelung. Hongkong had light to gentle NNW breezes and fine weather but the sky clouded during the evening. The day, but more particularly the night, temperature was excessive as usually is the case when a typhoon is approaching the Colony from the eastward. In Luzon light to gentle S breezes prevailed with overcast sky.

seas.

On the 17th several vessels in the Channel and at the ports on the SE coast had bad weather the nature of which can be readily inferred from the observations made at the Channel stations which are printed elsewhere. Vessels in the neighbourhood of Hongkong had chiefly moderate to fresh NNW breezes. The Schooner Santa Cruz bound for islands in the Pacific left Hongkong on the 12th September. In tacking for the Balingtang Channel she encountered strong ENE breezes and heavy On the afternoon of the 16th the wind backed from NE to NNE at midnight with very quickly increasing wind and sea. The upper topsails, jib and mainsail were made fast and the foresail reefed. On the morning of the 17th the wind backed slowly and there was a tremendous sea running from all points of the compass and heavy seas breaking over the ship (barometer 4 a. 29.66). The lower top?ails were made fast and she was hove to on the port tack at 9 a., wind NW by N. The ship was working tremendously in the high sea. At noon on the 17th in 19° 56', 116° 29′ (barometer 29.64) the wind was WNW. At 4 p. they kept her off and stood to the Eastward until 7 p. when the wind and sea again increased, so they hove to again on the port tack. At 9 p. there were heavy rain squalls from the West with short intervals and a tremendous sea from E and NW. The Zafiro and Kowshing WSW of the centre were almost together at noon in 20° 30', 119° steering about S by E. They had N to NW fresh breezes, overcast sky and heavy ESE to SE swell. The lowest reading of the barometer was at 4 p. 29.45 and the wind then commenced backing through W to SW increasing to a moderate and fresh gale with heavy rain squalls, high sea and rising barometer (at midnight 29.58). At midnight the centre was perhaps in 22° 25′, 119° 20′ moving a little to north of west but owing to the causes above mentioned there is some uncertainty as to this position.

892

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 On the morning of the 18th September SE winds decreasing in force prevailed in Formosa, a strong gale at S Cape, a moderate gale at Anping and moderate breezes in N Formosa with wet weather and rising barometer. Towards noon there blew a whole SE gale at Fisher Island. In the northern part of the Channel whole NE gales veering and decreasing in force prevailed, while at the stations near Lamocks at the southern entrance to the Channel NNE to NE gales were blowing with wet squally weather.

The centre was at 6 a. on the 18th in 22° 40′, 118° 20′. At noon in 22° 50′, 117° 30'. At the latter hour the Pekin, Chelydra, Gleneagles and Verona whose logs are given in detail encountered it. They all experienced NE veering gales with high confused seas and heavy rain squalls. The Pekin is a very small vessel and the wind forces are probably over estimated. This is generally found in the case of small vessels. The Pekin was in considerable danger from the heavy seas breaking on board and it was found necessary to jettison some cargo to save the ship. The centre passed about 30 miles to the southward of Lamocks at 1.30 p. The lowest reading of the barometer was registered at 1.30 p. (29.25) but it remained steady at that reading until 3 p. The wind veered from NE 10 at 2 p. to ESE 9 at 3 p. The typhoon was at this time commencing to move in a W by S direction. At Breaker Point the lowest reading of the barometer was taken at 3 p. (29.24) the wind being then NE 8. At 6 p. the barometer had risen (29.32) and the wind had veered to SE force 6. At Hongkong wet weather set in during the morning, the wind backing from NNW and increasing in force, the direction of the lower clouds backing with the wind. At 6 p. it was from NW 5 and the lowest reading of the barometer (29.43) was taken at this time. The storm had commenced filling up. The centre at 6 p. was in 22° 45', 116° 15'. After passing a little to the S of Breaker Point it travelled almost along the Coast line towards Hongkong. At midnight the centre was about 20 miles NE of the Colony. The wind had backed slightly since 6 p. and decreased in force and was chiefly from NW by W force 3 during the evening with continuous rain. At Macao the wind also backed during the evening to WNW 5 at 10 p. At Canton NW 5 was registered at 9 p. with rain squalls. The depression was filling up rapidly. The barometer read at midnight at Hongkong lower than that of any other station or vessel.

Vessels off the East Coast had strong NE to E breezes with high sea and swell. On the W Coast of N Luzon strong S breezes prevailed with high sea and rainy weather. In the middle of the China. Sea gentle SW breezes were blowing, to the East of Hainan and South of Hongkong strong N to NW breezes. The Continental at noon in 19° 5′, 116° 36′ proceeding SSE had the wind backing from WNW 6 in the early morning to SSW 8 at 4 p. The barometer was practically steady up to that hour when it commenced rising (at 8 p. 29.69) and wind a strong gale from SW with high cross sea. The Hupeh and Jessonda about 60 miles to the south of Hongkong had, the former a moderate NW gale, the latter a strong NNW gale during the afternoon and evening. After midnight the wind became very light. The Hupeh had the barometer reading 29.47 at 8 p., 29.52 at midnight. The Jessonda had barometer 29.56 at midnight. The wind force on the Hupeh was over estimated probably. She was steaming against the wind. The schooner Santa Cruz at noon on the 18th in 20° 4', 117° 9′ remained hove to on the port tack heading NW wind WSW. There were fierce squalls, a mountainous sea, the decks were covered with water fore and aft. The Santa Cruz is a very small vessel and felt the storm much more than a larger vessel would have done. She worked fearfully and they had to pump her every hour for about fifteen minutes. She had worked herself leaky somewhere. The wind backed in the afternoon and became SSW at midnight. Next morning the wind backed to S at 5 a. 19th (barometer 29.36 rising). They had attended to the pumps the whole morning and at last they sucked. They tried to heave her to on the starboard tack, but she would not lay steady enough on account of the heavy sea under the lee quarter, so they had to wear her round again to SW on the port tack which is, of course, the proper tack to lay to on in the left semicircle of a typhoon.

The centre passed over the Colony just after midnight, but the depression had filled very rapidly and was now extremely feeble. The barometer-which was about 0.3 inch. below the normal-was rising and read at 1 a. 19th 29.51, 2 a. 29.52, 3 a. 29.52. Temperature was low and relative humidity high at the time. The barometer was also rising at Canton and Macao. At Hongkong at 1.15 a. the wind fell calm, it having just previously been from the NW force 1. The calm lasted until 3 a. when a light air sprang up from the East (SE at 7 a.). The rain ceased from midnight to 4 a., but the sky remained overcast. The diameter of the calm area was, perhaps, 30 miles, but this is very uncertain, the gradients being so slight at the time that it is impossible to determine it accurately. After 4 a. showers fell. At Victoria Peak it blew NW 6 at 6 p. on the 18th and SE 4 at 6 a. on the 19th. At Macao the wind backed from WNW 5 at 10 p. on the 18th to WSW 3 at 4 a. on the 19th with wet weather. At Canton the wind veered from NW 3 at 3 a. (barometer 29.51 lowest) to NNE 1 at 9 a. (barometer 29.69 rising rapidly). At Hoihow the barometer was rising during the day with fresh N breezes. Strong SE breezes with wet weather blew on the S part of the SE coast, moderate NE breezes near the N entrance to the Formosa Channel.

The Jessonda a little to the S of Hongkong had a gentle SW breeze and high sea. The Denbigshire a little to the SW of the Jessonda gives the wind as N 2, but she was steaming northward which makes this of little account. The Cyclops and Sachem further south had light and gentle W breezes while vessels west of Bolinao had fresh SSE breezes. At noon on the 19th the schooner Santa Cruz in 20° 28', 117° 9' had slowly decreasing SSE wind, the sea was also decreasing, but there was a very high swell in consequence of which no more canvas could be set. The weather was overcast with passing showers and squalls with wind backing to SE and decreasing in force towards evening. Several sails were set next day and they stood to the southward but that was too late as the centre had long passed her.

  The centre passed to the northward of Macao during the early morning and disappeared from observation. 'No doubt the depression was quickly broken up.

 Between the 17th and 18th at noon the depression at the centre was 0.7 inch below the normal the lowest reading of the barometer being about 29.2. It rapidly filled up after passing near Breaker Point. The central isobars appear to have been very much elongated in a NW and SE direction, they corresponded on an average to the following distances 29.3: 30 miles, 29.4: 130 miles, 29.5: 140 miles, 29.6: 210 miles. Full typhoon force was not attained. The highest wind forces were regis- tered N of the centre where strong gales blew within 250 miles. Fresh gales blew within 180 East, moderate gales within 250 South and fresh breezes within 200 miles West of the centre. It was rainy within 200 miles of the centre and overcast at much greater distances. There was a high sea within 300 miles.

On the 20th September the barometer was rising at all stations in China and the NE monsoon commenced spreading southward into the northern part of the China Sea. On the 21st, pressure was increasing further on the S and W and E Coasts, but was giving way slightly in Formosa and at the stations in the north part of the Channel. In Luzon the barometer was also falling. NE winds were now blowing as far south as 20° lat. to the Westward of the Bashee Channel. In the middle of the China Sea winds were light and variable, in Luzon light SW airs and breezes. On the 22nd the barometer was falling all along the China Coast particularly in the N. There was also a considerable decrease of pressure on the NW Coast of Luzon. Strong NE breezes blew on the SE coast of China and extended across the China Sea as far south as 18° where high seas and squally wet weather also prevailed. Off the Coast of SW Luzon fresh SW breezes blew. At Bolinao a gentle SSE breeze and weather becoming wet with lower clouds moving fast from the S. The observations indicate that a depression was forming in an area to the west of Bolinao on the 22nd. The Zafiro at 4 p. in 14° 55', 120° 0' steering NW had then a gentle SW breeze and cloudy weather. At midnight the wind became variable of force 3 with showery weather and SW swell and so continued until noon next day when the wind settled down at NNE.

The following are the observations for noon on the 22nd :-

The observations for the 23rd September show that the barometer had continued falling at Hoihow and S. Cape while at the stations on the SE coast it was almost steady. On the East Coast it was inclined to fall and at the Yangtze stations there had been a considerable decrease of pressure since the previous day. That probably determined the course of this typhoon to the N.

Moderate to strong

NE breezes prevailed between Hoihow and Turnabout, but at some of the Channel stations there was a moderate NE gale. The weather was cloudy. In Luzon the barometer was inclined to rise slightly. At Bolinao there was a light to gentle SSE breeze with overcast sky.

The Koushing which left Manila for Hongkong at 1 p. had a moderate SW breeze during the evening with falling barometer. The Picciola and Taksang in about 153, 119° had strong SW breezes with heavy rain and high sea and swell. The Zafiro at noon in 17° 43′, 117° 47′ (barometer 29.70) had light to gentle variable breezes with showery weather during the morning, but in the afternoon the wind became NNE 5, weather squally with heavy rain and N swell. The barometer had fallen rapidly since the previous midnight, but commenced rising again during the evening of the 23rd (at midnight 29.72). Since the previous day this vessel steering NW had passed from an area where gentle SW winds blew to one in which the winds were light and variable and the weather showery with low barometer and thence to a district where fresh NNE breezes were blowing with heavy rain and rising barometer. The Else was at noon on the 23rd about 60 miles NW by W of the Zafiro, she had then ENE 4, (barometer 29.89). She was steaming SSE and was passing into the area which the Zafiro had just left. At midnight the barometer (29.74) had fallen and the wind was ESE 3 rapidly veering to SSE. The schooner Santa Cruz, a little to the ENE of the Zafiro, at noon had SE wind with very heavy rain and high sea. At midnight a thunderstorm was encountered with heavy squalls of wind and rain. Some vessels about 100 miles SSW of Hongkong had noderate NE gales and high sea. The observations point to a depression in the initial stage, perhaps in 170, 117° and about 60 miles SW of the position of the Zafiro at noon on the 23rd. There were no vessels at this time to the W and SW of this position, but probably there was a trough in about the latitude of 17° extending to the Westward with squally wet weather and variable winds while NE winds prevailed to the North and SW winds to the S of this area.

The following are the observations for noon on the 24th September:-

On the 24th the barometer was almost steady in Luzon with light S and SE breezes and cloudy weather. Pressure was decreasing slightly at Hoihow moderately fast on the SE coast and in the Formosa Channel. A further fall had also taken place at the Yangtze stations. Winds were NE to NNE on the China Coast, moderate breezes on the S and E coasts, strong breezes in the Formosa Channel. The weather was generally cloudy but fine.

898

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

  The Phra C. C. Klao off the NE coast of Annam at noon on the 24th had a moderate breeze veering from NNW to NNE as she steamed northwards with overcast squally weather and N swell. The barometer was steady (at midnight 29.85). The Else which had steamed SSE since the previous. day now had a strong SW breeze with heavy rain and high sea and barometer rising (29.81 at midnight). The Kowshing steaming NW from her noon position had during the evening fresh to strong NE breezes with squally weather and high sea. At noon she had SW 4 so that between that hour and 8 p.-when the barometer was lowest (29.68)--she had passed through an intervening area where variable winds prevailed. Unfortunately no observations were recorded during the interval. The Taksang and Picciola at noon on the 24th about 100 miles NW of the Kowshing and proceeding to the NNW had since midnight of the 23rd also passed from a district where fresh to strong SW winds blew accompanied by heavy rain to one in which moderate NE breezes prevailed. A high cross sea was noted during the time at first from WNW afterwards from NE. The Picciola at midnight 24th had the barometer rising (29.80) and the wind increased to a strong NE breeze on both vessels. The barque Penshaw had NE 4 at midnight with S swell.

The small schooner Santa Cruz at noon on the 24th hove to on the starboard tack in 17° 57', 117° 57' under double reefed foresail had it blowing hard from the Southward and the rain pouring down in torrents. Heavy seas were breaking over the ship. One heavy sea caused a boat which was hanging in the davits on the port side, and was well lashed, to get nearly capsized in her lashings and they nearly lost her altogether. In the evening it blew with great force from the SSW.

The sailing vessels Albania and Sachem in about 20°, 114° had moderate NE gales and high sea. The centre of the depression was at noon on the 24th in 1730, 1170. It had commenced to move towards NNE and had become concentrated since the previous day but at present was of insignificant dimensions.

On the 25th September at Bolinao (Luzon) the barometer was almost steady, the wind light SW to S breezes, and weather wet. The lower clouds came fast from the S. In Hongkong the barometer was falling with light airs and breezes chiefly from NW and W and clouded sky. The lower and upper (sm-cum) clouds came from N in the evening. At Victoria Peak the wind was NE 3 during the morning backing to NNW 3 in the afternoon. Pressure was decreasing moderately fast on the SE coast where moderate to strong NE to NNE breezes prevailed with cloudy weather. In S Formosa the barometer at noon showed a slight rise since the previous day but during the evening it commenced to fall rapidly at S Cape where gentle NE breezes with showery weather prevailed. Very heavy rain had fallen there between the 24th and 25th and 6.60 inches was measured at 9 a. on the latter day. On the East Coast the weather was fine with gentle E breezes and falling barometer.

On the 25th September the schooner Santa Cruz had the wind continuing to blow strongly from the SSW during the morning of the 25th decreasing towards evening. The barque Penshaw at noon in 19° 56', 120° 52′ had the wind veering to ESE and increasing in force during the morning with high cross sea. During the afternoon the wind continued to veer and increase in force. At midnight she was hove to on the port tack under lower topsail and fore topmast stay sail, the wind at the time being a strong S gale with a high sea. The Don Juan at noon in 21° 14', 118° 46′ steering S by E had the barometer falling rapidly (at 4 p. 29.66, 8 p. 29.54) with wind increasing in force from the East. At 8 p. a whole gale from E was experienced and at midnight a whole gale from W with the lowest reading of the barometer (29.38). Very heavy rain was falling between 8 p. and midnight.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 899

  Some vessels within 100 miles to the S and E of Hongkong had fresh NE breezes while the Albania and Picciola about 150 SSE of Hongkong had gentle N breezes and fine weather. The Sachem near those two vessels reports a fresh N gale and high sea. This force is doubtless over estimated.

The centre at noon on the 25th September was situated in 19° 30′, 118" 45′ and at midnight in 20° 20′, 119° 30'. It was moving slowly (at about 5 to 6 miles per hour) towards NNE and had increased in intensity since the previous day.

Detailed observations for the 26th September are annexed for some of the stations in the neigh- bourhood of the Formosa Channel. The following are some additional observations for noon of the 26th:-

On the 26th September light S breezes with rising barometer and cloudy weather prevailed in Luzon. Light airs and breezes chiefly from W prevailed at Hongkong with barometer rising towards evening and the sky clearing. At Victoria Peak there was NNE 2 during the morning backing to WNW 3 during the afternoon and becoming NW 3 at night. N to NE moderate to strong breezes prevailed in the Channel during the morning with cloudy weather and falling barometer. During the evening the barometer was rising again and at the S entrance to the Channel the wind backed to SW 3 and the sky cleared. At Fisher Island there blew N 8 during the afternoon backing to NNW 4 at midnight. At S Cape the wind commenced veering from NE at 3 a. but was no stronger than force 4 until after 7 a. Between 9 a. and 11 a. the barometer fell very rapidly, the wind being ESE a fresh to strong gale with rain the whole time. From the record of the anemograph it is seen that at 11.30 a. the wind commenced to veer from ESE and at 11.50 a. it fell absolutely calm, the direction.

900 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

at that time being S by E. The calm lasted until 12.13 p. when the storm burst again from the WNW. The lowest reading of the barometer occurred at noon (29.12). It remained overcast while the calm lasted but no rain fell. The average rate of motion was about 10 miles per hour at this time and the central calm therefore corresponded to a diameter of about 4 miles. It blew with almost typhoon force for one hour immediately after the passage of the centre and then gradually decreased to force 7 at midnight preserving about the WNW direction, the weather being showery. The heaviest rainfall took place in front of the centre where also the steepest gradients were found and which corresponded to 0.3 inch in 15 nautical miles. The lowest barometer reading was about 0.8 inch below the normal. Fresh gales blew within 100 miles of the centre.

 The Don Juan on the early morning of the 26th had the wind quickly decreasing to W 5 (barometer 29.77 rising) at 8 a. on the 26th as she steamed southward. The barque Penshaw, at 2.30 a. about 70 miles ESE of the centre, had the lowest reading of the barometer (29.50) with a whole gale from S with heavy sea. She was still hove to at noon in 20° 28', 120° 52′ and the barometer had risen quickly and a fresh SW gale was blowing moderating however and the direction veering (at midnight WNW 6).

The following are some observations for the 27th September at noon :-

 On the 27th the barometer was rising at all stations particularly in Formosa and at the adjacent Channel stations, the weather being fine generally. At Takow and Anping moderate NW breezes prevailed. At S Cape the wind continued to blow from about WNW the whole day decreasing from force 7 in the early morning to force 3 at night. In N Formosa light NNE airs prevailed with detached clouds. The barque Penshaw had now fine weather and a light WNW breeze. The Gaelic about 100 miles to the NNE of N Formosa steering SW had a moderate N gale decreasing with rough sea, overcast sky and rising barometer. The centre was possibly at noon on the 27th in 23, 126" but this is very uncertain and afterwards it disappeared from observation :-

   On the 7th October the barometer was falling rapidly on the China Coast with moderate NE breezes and fine weather except at S Cape where drizzling rain was falling. In Luzon the barometer had also fallen quickly with a gentle NNE breeze at Bolinao and cloudy weather. Off the W coast of Luzon moderate to strong N breezes with high sea prevailed. On the western side of the China Sea in 123, 112° light N breezes were blowing and the Bombay to the SSW of that position in 8°, 1091 had W to SW moderate breezes veering to N 3 as she proceeded northwards with squally wet weather, falling barometer and confused swell.

The schooner Santa Cruz at noon on the 6th October in 17° 7', 125° 18' (barometer 29.94) already had an increasing NNE breeze, falling barometer and rising sea. They put two reefs in the mainsail and made the upper topsail fast. Next morning it began to blow hard and the sea to run clean over the small vessel. They kept her two and a half points off, steering SE by S to keep the deck dry and in the hope of running out of the typhoon. Mainsail and jib were made fast at 4 a. (barometer 29.80). At 9 a. it blew hard from the north and the vessel worked fearfully in the tremendously high sea. At noon on the 7th in 15° 49′, 126° 54′ (barometer 29.71) the wind had backed to NW and continued increasing in force. At 3.30 p. they had to heave her to under double reefed foresail-the wind had backed to WNW. Sea after sea came breaking over the ship carrying the starboard boat with its davits away, breaking on the after hatch and washing the binnacle stand and compass overboard and the cargo shifted to starboard. At 8 p. (barometer 29.59) they lost the jibboom and at midnight part of the bulwarks on the starboard bow was stove in. The galley was smashed in and one tank got adrift.

The centre at noon on the 7th October was perhaps in 150, 130o.

From the above observations it is seen that a rapid fall in the barometer had taken place in Luzon. At Manila there was a light W to SW breeze and at Bolinao a moderate N breeze. The sky was clouded. At S. Cape pressure was decreasing rather rapidly. The weather was fine with moderate NNE breeze. On the S and SE China Coast the barometer was falling slightly and NE to NNE moderate breezes with fine weather prevailed. Strong N to NE breezes prevailed in the north and central parts of the Formosa Channel. On the East Coast and along the Yangtze the barometer was rising slightly with NE fresh to strong breezes off the Coast. The mean temperature on the 8th October for the 24 hours was in excess at Hongkong, being 3° above the mean. At S. Cape the mean of tri-hourly observa- tions of temperature was 80°, at Chapel Island 75°, at Turnabout 73°, at N. Saddle 70°. Fresh to strong NNE breezes prevailed in the middle of the China Sea and as far South and West as 11°, 111° as shown by the log of the Bombay. Off the NW coast of Luzon strong NNE breezes to moderate gales were experienced by several vessels and a high sea was general. The Cosmopolit steaming SSE had the barometer falling until midnight (29.62) the wind backing and decreasing and the sea going down. The schooner Santa Cruz (barometer 4 a. 29.20) at 5 a. on the 8th lost part of the bulwarks on the poop

which caused the cabin to be flooded with two feet of water and the water to run down the cabin hatch on top of the cargo. At 5.30 a. the ship was laying on its beam ends and as everything was afloat on deck and the ship in a sinking condition they cut away the masts and after they went overboard she righted herself somewhat. There was now five feet of water in the hold and all hands were at work clearing the decks and working the pumps. The rain was pouring down and it was blowing fearfully hard. The wind was changing all the time as the vessel was carried helplessly around the centre. At noon on the 8th the barometer read 28.78, at 8 p. 28.70, but these readings are hardly to be trusted. The position of the vessel was, of course, not properly known, but at noon on the 7th she was in 15° 49', 126o 54', and at noon on the 12th in 15° 53′, 127° 45′ and how she drifted about in the meantime we do not know.

The centre was on October 8th at noon in 16°, 127° moving north-westward. The following observations are for the 9th October at noon :-

On the 9th October the centre of the typhoon was in 19°, 1233° and it was still moving north westward. The following is a summary of the weather prevailing at the coast stations on that day. In Luzon the barometer continued falling during the morning hours with gentle SW to W breezes and cloudy weather in S. Luzon. At Bolinao (NW Luzon) the wind increased in force from N with rain and at 8 a. it had backed to NW by N and blew a fresh gale, the lower clouds coming from the same direction as the wind. During the afternoon and evening the wind moderated and was from NW and WNW force 4, the weather being squally and showery and the barometer commencing to rise. Around the Gulf of Tonking pressure had not changed since the previous day, but during the evening the barometer commenced falling. N to NE moderate and fresh breezes with fine weather prevailed. The barometer was falling on the SE coast of China and in Formosa moderately fast at Hongkong, but very rapidly at those stations near S. Formosa and particularly so at S. Cape where the decrease amounted to a quarter of an inch during the previous 24 hours. On the East Coast the observations show a slight rise of the barometer since noon of the 8th October while along the Yangtze pressure had varied but little.

Gradients for NE winds had become very steep and were increasing between the northern entrance to the Formosa Channel and S. Cape and N to NE fresh and strong gales increasing with high sea prevailed in the Channel during the day, the sky being partially clouded. At night the sky became overcast and a whole NNE gale was blowing at Turnabout and Fisher Island. The observations recorded at S. Cape between October 9th at I a. and October 11th midnight are annexed. They show that the barometer continued to fall very rapidly during the evening and that the wind had increased to a fresh gale from N by E with rain squalls. Very heavy continuous rain was falling at Tamsui in N Formosa with a strong ENE breeze, the barometer falling but moderately fast until the evening when the fall was accelerated and the wind became NNE 10. Very fine weather prevailed at the East Coast stations with chiefly moderate to fresh NE breezes. At N. Saddle a moderate NE gale. At Hongkong the weather was very fine and the temperature high, the mean of the 24 hours being 79°. 1. A gentle NNW breeze prevailed and some sm-cum. cloud came from N. At Victoria Peak there was a fresh NNW breeze. The mean temperature for some of the stations on October 9th was as follows:- Hongkong 79°, Swatow 81°, Lamocks 76°, S. Cape 77°, Fisher Island 74°, Chapel Island 74°, Turnabout 71°, Foochow 74°, Steep Island 70°, North Saddle 68°, Kiukiang 70o. At Hongkong and Swatow temperature was in excess, at the other stations it was about normal. The weather experienced by vessels at sea on the 9th October was as follows:-

The schooner Santa Cruz at noon in the approximate position of 16°, 127° had strong SW winds and decreasing sea. The Bombay and Pakshan in about 15°, 112 had fresh NNE breezes, squally wet weather and rough sea with almost steady barometer (on Bombay at 8 p. 29.75). Several vessels to the South of Hongkong in the northern part of the China Sea had strong NNE breezes and moderate gales with the direction backing a little towards evening as they steamed northwards. A high sea was running, the sky was partially clouded and the barometer falling slightly. Vessels approaching Hongkong from the Eastward had strong NNE breezes backing and decreasing. The character of the weather in and near the Formosa Channel may be seen from the detailed logs of some vessels and also from the observations made at the lighthouse stations which are appended. In general it may be stated that during the evening NNE fresh to whole gales blew throughout the Channel, the force being somewhat lighter in the southern portion. Whole gales were blowing between Fisher Island and Turnabout, and there was a very turbulent sea. The Choysang, Protos, Empress of Japan, Formosa, Ly-ee-mun and Glengarry were between Amoy and Turnabout during the evening and experienced

904 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

NE to NNE strong and whole gales, the record of the Choysang describing the squalls as of "hurricane force." The Glengarry left Foochow for Amoy at noon and during the evening had 90 tons of coal, which she was carrying on deck, washed overboard. She was hove to for one hour at 8 p. near Turnabout, but afterwards proceeded for Amoy, the weather getting worse all the time.

 Vessels approaching the northern entrance to the Channel from the N and NE had the wind rapidly increasing and the barometer falling quickly. Among these were the Phra Nang, Nanchang, Kaifong, City of Peking, Fasana, Cyclops and Bokhara. The latter vessel was subsequently wrecked with great loss of life. She left Shanghai for Hongkong at noon on October 8th and experienced ordinary fresh NE monsoon until the afternoon of the 9th when the wind commenced to increase in force and the barometer to fall. At 8 p. she was estimated to be 8 miles East of Tung Ying, the latter being situated in 26° 23′, 120° 31'. The vessel's course was then altered to make Turnabout and at 10 p. (barometer 29.77 uncorrected) everything was secured and preparations made for heaving the ship to, her Commander and Officers suspecting a typhoon to the Southward. At this time there was a heavy sea and the vessel was taking heavy water on board.

 The Austrian corvette Fasana bound for Hongkong had been passed by the Bokhara during the morning and the Cyclops was also not far behind. The former vessel reports having seen the land the whole time, while on board the Bokhara no land was seen. The Taisang was at noon about 20 miles north of the White Dogs proceeding northwards. Captain HOGG states that during the day time of the 9th he could see 30 to 40 miles and at night about 10 miles. It therefore appears probable that the Bokhara was to the Eastward of her supposed position at 8 p. the currents prevailing at such times being often exceptionally strong. The Taisang had the wind decreasing as she steamed north- wards, but there was a tremendous sea from SE with waves 400 feet long.

 The following are some observations for noon on October 10th which are not included in the appended detailed observations :-

 On the morning of the 10th October the typhoon was advancing in a N by W direction and directly upon South Cape (Formosa). The barometer was falling at that station about 0.05 inch per hour on an average between 1 a. and 9 a. The wind had veered since the previous evening and was from NE force 8 until 5 a. when it commenced to veer steadily and to increase in force. The barometer fell very rapidly after 9 a.--over 0.1 inch per hour-and at 11 a. the wind had attained full typhoon force from E by N. The lowest reading of the barometer was made at 1 p. 28.28, this being about 1.6 inches below the normal. There was then typhoon force of wind from SE by E. After this hour the barometer rapidly rose and the wind continued to veer but force 12 continued until after 3 p. and then it quickly decreased. At 6 p. the force had dropped to 7 and it maintained that force from about SW during the remainder of the evening. The centre passed perhaps within 10 miles to the west of S Cape about 1 p. There was at that time no trace of any decrease of wind velocity as shown by the anemograph curve neither was there any partial clearing of the sky or diminution of rain which fell continuously the whole day. The steepest gradients near the centre corresponded to about 0.3 inch in 15 nautical miles. The weather prevailing at the other stations during the morning of October 10th may be briefly described as follows:-At Bolinao (NW Luzon) light to gentle W breezes, overcast sky and rising barometer, at Hoihow fresh W breezes, clear sky and steady barometer. At Hongkong the barometer was slightly falling and there was a gentle breeze from NNW to NW with partially clouded sky. In the neighbourhood of Swatow the barometer was falling and the wind a moderate to strong breeze from NNW to NW with detached clouds. At Anping and Takow a fresh increasing NE backing gale was blowing with light rain and rapidly falling barometer. At Fisher Island and Turnabout the barometer was falling but moderately fast and a storm was blowing from the NNE with occasional drizzling rain. At the former station at 1.37 a. on the 10th a bright red glare spread over the whole sky which was observed by the keeper in charge and the assistant on watch to have lasted five seconds and then to have vanished as suddenly as it appeared. At Tamsui the barometer was falling rather slowly with a whole gale from NNE with heavy rain squalls

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 905

decreasing to a strong breeze at noon. The observations are from the log of the Fokien at anchor in the port. NE fresh increasing breezes were felt at the east coast stations with the weather becoming wet and the barometer falling. Fine weather with almost steady barometer prevailed along the Yangtze.

The centre of the typhoon entered Formosa soon after passing to the west of S Cape and moved northward but it at once commenced filling up. An inspection of the detailed observations printed elsewhere shows that two maxima of wind force and two minima of the barometric readings were observed by some stations or vessels near the N entrance to the Channel, the first occurring before the centre entered the land, when the depression at the centre was excessive, and the second as it approached the station or vessel in its diminished intensity. Some stations do not exactly show the two minima of the barometric readings, but it is seen that the barometer remained steady or almost steady for some hours as the typhoon approached, showing clearly that it was filling up as it advanced towards them. With respect to the wind force this is perhaps not so distinctly seen except in the case of the observations recorded on board the Fokien lying at Tamsui, the gradients existing for N winds being excessively steep the whole time owing to the comparatively high pressure prevailing over the interior of China. In fact the chief characteristic of this typhoon in the latter part of its course was the effect produced by the combination of a strong monsoon and the winds due to the typhoon itself and a reference to the detailed observations shows that in the left hand semi-circle the wind in most cases backed but very slightly as the typhoon approached and passed northward. Its influence quickly disappeared and the prevailing N wind was soon again experienced. At Tamsui in the right hand semi-circle N winds were established a few hours after the centre passed the station.

During the afternoon and evening of the 10th October the centre was moving about N by W inland on the west side of Formosa. The lowest reading of the barometer was registered at both Takow and Anping at 6 p., the reading at the former station being 28.91 and at the latter 29.00. The centre was about 20 miles ESE of Takow at the time and it is evident from these observations that a great change had already taken place as regards the depth at the centre during its passage over the land. Whole gales were blowing at both stations from NNE at Anping and between NNE and N at Takow with overcast sky and gloomy appearance at both stations. At Fisher Island about 70 miles NW by N of Takow the lowest reading of the barometer was 29.06 at 4 p. and the wind was of typhoon force from the NNE.

During the six hours from 6 p. until midnight the typhoon moved very slowly, its rate of progress northwards being diminished by the friction caused by the hilly country to the East of Takow and Anping and also to the strength of the N winds blowing into it, being penned up so to speak by the high mountain chain to the eastward, and at this time the depression at the centre was again much reduced. At 9 p. it was about 20 miles to the East of Takow and at midnight about the same distance E by S of Anping. A strong N gale blew at Takow during the evening with rain and rising barometer. At Anping the wind veered to NE of force 10 at 9 p. continuing the same direction but moderating to force 8 at midnight. From 3 p. to 9 p. it blew with full typhoon force in the squalls. Rain set in at 11 p. Mr. STRANGMAN, the observer, adds: "Considerable damage has been done to the roofs of foreign houses, large quantities of tiles having been blown away. Many native houses are level with the ground. The shipping did not suffer, the water being low.' At Fisher Island typhoon force continued until 8 p. from NNE after which hour it decreased to force 11 remaining thus until midnight. Drizzling rain commenced at 9 p. and rain at 10 p.

17.

The weather during the afternoon and evening of the 10th October in other districts was as follows. At Hongkong light to moderate NNW breezes with rising barometer, and fine weather prevailed. Some c-str cloud was observed to come from the NNW. At Victoria Peak fresh to strong NNW breezes were blowing. In the neighbourhood of Swatow moderate to strong NW breezes were blowing with rising barometer and cloudy sky. At Chapel Island there was a strong N backing and decreasing gale with drizzling rain commencing at midnight. At Turnabout the wind increased in force during the afternoon and blew with typhoon force the whole evening from N and NNE, with occasional drizzling rain. The barometer showed a slight fall when the daily variation is allowed for between 3 P., and 10 p., but after the latter hour it fell rather faster again as the typhoon advanced northward. At Tamsui there was a fresh NNE breeze increasing towards midnight with heavy rain squalls at times and falling barometer. The barometer was falling slowly on the East Coast and the wind increasing in force from the NE and rain was falling in the southern part of the district. There was a very slight decrease of pressure at the Yangtze stations where light to moderate NE breezes prevailed and very fine weather.

Some account of the experiences of vessels at sea on October 10th may now be given:

The schooner Santa Cruz to the Eastward of Luzon in 16°, 127°, approximately, had S winds and squally weather. The Cosmopolit near Iloilo in the morning had strong S to SW breezes and wet squally weather with rising barometer. The Taksang off the SW coast of Luzon had W to WNW moderate breezes, squally weather and heavy N sea during the evening. Fresh NNW breezes and moderate gales were experienced during the morning by vessels approaching Hongkong from the

906 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

southward with rough sea and fine weather, and fresh NE monsoon weather prevailed in the China Sea with high sea and N swell. Vessels approaching Hongkong from the Eastward had fresh NNW to NW breezes and fine weather.

 The Choysang was a little South of Chapel Island at 2 a. and had then a strong NNE gale backing and moderating (NW 6 at 8 a.) as she steamed SW and became farther to the West of the centre. The sky also cleared to some extent. The barometer was falling but slightly.

 The Protos which entered the Channel from the N early in the evening on the 9th bound for Hongkong was about 70 miles ahead of the Bokhara and had then a NE by N whole gale and falling barometer. She however went ahead on the starboard tack, wind and sea increasing all the time. At 8 a. on the 10th she experienced full typhoon force from the NNE which continued until noon. She was at the latter hour 150 miles NW by N of the centre. She sustained some damage losing one boat, two others being stove in, the two companion ladders were carried away and the engine room skylights smashed in. After noon the wind decreased in violence and towards evening it backed (at midnight N 6).

 The Austrian corvette Fasana was also bound for Hongkong from the northward. She was at 8. p. on the 9th about 35 miles NNE of the Bokhara's estimated position at that time. The Fasana was then under sail, but as the wind and sea were increasing they kept their course but got up steam so that they might get along faster. At 8 a. on the 10th October the vessel was a little to the SE of Ockseu and had a N by E storm with rain and the wind direction backing a little. At 9 a. the clouds were flying very low near sea surface and this in conjunction with sea spray made it impossible to see more than a ship's length ahead. At noon flying spray like heavy rain prevented the lookout from being of any use at all. At 1 p. she was about 35 miles E of Chapel Island and 170 miles NWIN of the centre and had typhoon force from the N with high confused sea. The lowest barometer reading was made at 2 p. (29.36), and at 2.30 the rise of the mercury commenced with wind N by W force 11 decreasing, and appearance of improving weather. During the evening the wind backed to WNW force 7 with overcast weather and occasional rain.

 The Nanchang was another vessel bound for Hongkong and about 30 miles in advance of the Bokhara. She experienced a whole NNE gale, but sustained little damage.

 The Kaifong, which was about four hours behind the Nanchang at Turnabout, sustained a great deal of damage. Her log book was lost from the wheelhouse which was stove in and no ineteorological data observed on board this ship are therefore available. She lost one boat, the engine room skylights were carried

and much water got into the stoke hole rendering it difficult to keep up steam. away

 The Formosa and Ly-ee-mun were between Dodd Island and Turnabout working their way up the coast under the land. They both went into shelter as soon as opportunity offered, the former in Pinghai Bay and the latter in Hungwha Sound. They experienced NE to NNE whole gale during the day with very heavy squalls of typhoon force and there was a very heavy sea. The experience

of these two coasting vessels shows that by keeping under the land they gained some advantage. They had the wind somewhat less fierce and, perhaps, not so bad a sea as encountered by those vessels farther out and more in midchannel. The dangerous sea already prevailing at the north and narrow part of the Channel when a typhoon is even yet at some distance to the southward should be taken note of and steps taken early by shipmasters to avoid it.

sea.

The Phra Nang entered the Channel bound for Hongkong during the morning. At noon she was about 10 miles SSE of Turnabout and 220 miles N by W of the centre and had the barometer falling rapidly with a strong NNE gale. At 4 p. there was a NNE storm blowing and a mountainous She had then a lifeboat smashed and others damaged. At 5 p. she was hove to on the port tack, the barometer reading 29.20 (lowest). The barometer then commenced rising slowly, but at 8 p. they had typhoon force from N with a terrible sea and such as her Commander had never experienced during nine years on the China Coast. Towards midnight the wind commenced backing and decreasing slowly in force.

 The Empress of Japan was about 20 miles NE of Turnabout at noon on the 10th and 240 miles N by W of the centre. They had a whole N gale veering to NE at midnight with a very high sea and falling barometer. This vessel was steering northwards and went full speed using Sir W. THOMSON'S sounding machine the whole time, but only made about 40 miles during the 24 hours between noon of the 10th and 11th.

 The Cyclops was another vessel coming down from the north a few hours behind the Bokhara. At 1.30 a. on the 10th the vessel was anchored under Tungsha (White Dogs) for shelter and remained there until the morning of the 11th. On the 10th she experienced in the morning a strong NNE gale which increased to between a whole gale and storm from the same direction during the evening. Continuous heavy rain fell with heavy squalls during the afternoon and evening.

 The City of Peking approaching the northern entrance to the Channel was hove to on the port tack before 4 a. on the 10th. The barometer was falling quickly at the time and there was a strong

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 907

NE gale blowing. At noon she was about 40 miles ENE of Turnabout and 230 miles N of the centre. During the latter part of the day she experienced a whole gale from NE by N with rain and hard squalls and a very heavy sea.

  The Taisang off the East Coast steaming northwards had the wind again increasing and the baro- meter falling on the morning of the 10th, so at 11.30 a. the vessel was taken into shelter under Taichow. (28° 28', 121° 50′). They paid out 100 fathoms of chain with the port anchor, and 70 fathoms with the starboard anchor and had a third anchor ready astern in case it was wanted. They had a fresh to strong NNE gale during the evening.

  The Fu Ping off the East Coast in 28° 36', 121° 52′ at noon on the 10th had a strong N gale increasing as she steamed southward and at 6 p. was anchored under Taluk Island (28° 4', 121° 31′) for shelter. During the evening a whole gale from NNE with rain squalls was experienced.

  The Wo Sang which left the Yangtze river in the morning on the 10th had the barometer falling and the wind increasing to a fresh NE gale at midnight with high sea and falling barometer as she steamed southward.

?

  The Benlarig and Deuteros were at noon on the 10th in about 32°, 126 steering SW. They experienced NE fresh increasing breezes with high sea and rainy weather and barometer beginning to fall.

The Bokhara as already stated was at 8 p. on the 9th October put on a course to make Turnabout. This lighthouse, however, was not sighted. At 1.45 a. on the 10th October, the vessel was hove to on the port tack heading between N 50° E and N 80° E, her position then being-as determined by the Court of Enquiry which subsequently sat to determine the cause of the loss of the vessel-about 21 miles SSW of Turnabout, but perhaps she may have been a little to the eastward of this. At this time the wind was gradually increasing in force from the NNE with furious squalls and a mountainous sea and the barometer falling. The weather was so thick that they could only see half a mile. At 4 a. the barometer read 29.60, at 6 a. 29.55, at 8 a. 29.50. At the latter hour, the wind and sea being terrific from the NNE, efforts were made to put the vessel on the other (starboard) tack, but she would not come up even with the aid of tarpaulins in the rigging. The sails on being loosed were blown to pieces. Attempts were then made to wear, but this was found to be impossible also. Unfortunately no storm canvas was ready. At 10 a. the wind reached full typhoon force. The vessel rolled fearfully and much damage was done at this time. Between 10 a. and noon (barometer 29.27) the engines had been stopped to prevent the vessel forging ahead, and the vessel fell off into the trough of the sea and between 10 a. and 2 p. further damage was done: boats, gangways, bulwarks, etc. being swept away, and at 2 p. she had only one boat left. Oil was put into the weather latrines aft and forward and considerable relief was obtained, the heavy seas being prevented from breaking on board to some extent. At 4 p. (barometer 29.15) the wind still continued to blow with terrific force from NNE and after that hour the barometer remained practically steady (at 8 p. 29.15) with much the same wind and weather. For some reason the supply of oil does not appear to have been constantly kept going, and at 10 p. the vessel took some heavy seas which did further damage, breaking in after skylights, commander's cabin, wheelhouse, engine room skylight and stokehold doors, thus putting out the fires below and causing the vessel to become quite unmanageable. At 11.35 p. land was seen on the lee beam and a few minutes afterwards the vessel struck on what afterwards turned out to be Sand Island, a northern island of the Pescadores group, and immediately broke up, the part of the ship's company being lost.

greater

At the time the vessel was hove to (1.45 a. on the 10th) she was about 300 miles NNW of the centre of the typhoon which continued to advance towards her position the whole day. At noon she was about 170 miles NNW of the centre. At 6 p. 100 miles NW by N N and when she struck 70 miles NW. The readings of the barometer taken on board which are uncorrected show no change after 4 p. This indicates a slight fall, however, when daily variation is allowed for, but as the typhoon centre was now on the land and rapidly filling up the readings remaining almost steady is accounted for although the centre was gradually approaching. The wind was from NNE the whole time and blowing with typhoon force from perhaps 10 a. until the time the vessel struck.

There is no doubt that had this vessel run on the starboard tack she would have come through safely. She would not have had typhoon force at all and the weather would have quickly moderated. Those vessels who adopted this course did not all escape without damage, but they quickly ran out of the worst part of the storm and brought themselves to the W and SW of the centre. Vessels in the northern part of the Formosa Channel where such a dangerous sea prevails and where, with a typhoon to the southward, the wind is relatively much stronger owing to its being confined, should on the weather becoming bad, seek shelter early. The Bokhara was helplessly drifting for some hours, her officers thinking that she was being set to the SW on a safe course, whereas it appears that she was set S

    W at the rate of about 4 knots per hour and in a direction almost opposite to that of the wind. The fact that she was allowed to fall off and lie beam on to wind and sea doubtless accelerated the speed with which she drifted.

The current running down the China Coasts from the Yellow Sea at this time of year was certainly much increased by the strong NNE winds prevailing along the East Coast.

 During the early morning of the 11th October the centre continued advancing northward, its rate of motion being accelerated at this time. The wind at Fisher Island and Anping was decreasing in force and backing, but at the former station it continued to blow a whole gale from the NW until 5 a. with rain, the centre being at 5 a. 90 miles to the NE of the station. At noon there was a moderate WNW gale with light rain and barometer rising rapidly. At Anping the wind force decreased after midnight of the 9th and blew only a moderate to strong breeze from N for 3 hours. At 4 a. 10th it freshened again from NW and blew a strong gale decreasing and backing to WNW force 7 at 9 a. The weather was wet and the barometer rising. At Turnabout the barometer was almost steady during the early morning of the 10th, but there it was blowing with typhoon force from N until 3 a. (centre 90 miles SSE) when it decreased a little. Between 6 a. and noon the barometer was rising and the wind was between N and NNW the force having decreased to 10 at the latter hour. Drizzling rain fell occasionally. From the observations made on board the Fokien at anchor at Tamsui it is seen that the barometer fell sharply until 5 a. 10th with wind increasing and veering after midnight of the 9th. It blew a whole gale from E at 4 a. and from ESE at 5 a. (barometer 29.37 lowest) with squalls of typhoon force. The barometer rose quickly between 5 a. and 8 a. and the wind continued veering and moderating. At noon it was from W force 5. Heavy rain was falling The typhoon had now commenced to move towards the NE. After noon the barometer rose very rapidly and the wind became NW and N a moderate breeze with less rain. The centre was 35 miles SW W of Tamsui at 6 a. and 40 miles to the north of the station at noon.

 The weather experienced in other districts on the 11th October was as follows:-At South Cape a fresh gale from WSW with rain during the early morning and rising barometer. During the remainder of the day a moderate to fresh gale chiefly from WNW prevailed at this station with clouded sky, but the barometer did not rise so quickly as at the other stations in the vicinity. In fact the readings were between one and two tenths lower during the evening than those of Anping and Fisher Island, the cause of which may be ascribed to first the usual gradient prevailing at this season of the year (to which the prevalence and force of the N wind was due) and secondly to the fact that owing to the mountain chain running N and S through Formosa, the air is penned in at those places which have the mountains to the E of them and this caused the air pressure to be higher than at freely exposed stations. For a similar reason the air-pressure on the East Coast of Formosa where there are no stations must have been deficient while at S Cape the air is free to escape and for this reason also the wind is deflected towards the W at the latter station.

 On the SE coast to the S of Amoy gentle to fresh N and NW breezes blew with rapidly rising barometer and cloudy sky. At Chapel Island the wind backed through W to SW a fresh to moderate breeze with occasional drizzling rain and rising barometer during the morning. A N backing and decreasing gale was felt at Middle Dog. On the East Coast the barometer was falling, but not quickly, the weather was wet and strong breezes to fresh gales were blowing chiefly from NE. Along the Yangtze light to moderate NE breezes prevailed with very fine weather and barometer almost steady.

Vessels at sea on October 11th experienced the following weather:---

 In the China Sea ordinary fresh NE monsoon weather prevailed with N swell. Those vessels (Protos, Fasana, Nanchang) off the coast between Hongkong and Lamocks had moderate to strong N and NW breezes and cloudy weather.

 The Phra Nang still hove to had during the early morning the wind from NW force 11 decreasing with rising barometer. At 10 a. she proceeded the wind gradually decreasing in force. Towards evening she had moderate breezes from NW.

 The Ly-ee-mun and Formosa, at shelter in the neighbourhood of Haitan Straits, had N gales backing and decreasing after noon with wet weather and rising barometer. The vessels were about 100 miles West of the centre at noon.

 The Cyclops, at shelter under the White Dogs, had a whole N gale decreasing during the early morning and at 8 a. she proceeded for Foochow.

                                      She had then a strong NNE gale with rising barometer and very high sea. She was steering northwards and at midnight had a strong NNW gale.

The Empress of Japan was about 40 miles WNW of the centre at noon.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 909

  The City of Peking hove to on the previous day went ahead again at 6 a. the wind having decreased to a moderate NNE gale at that time. At noon she was hove to again on the port tack the wind having increased to a whole NNE gale increasing with rain and barometer falling again. She was then about 20 miles WNW of the centre. At 2.30 p. the lowest reading of the barometer was made (29.35), and at 4 p. she had a NNE storm. After this hour the wind decreased in force, but did not back till late at night.

The Fu Ping was still in shelter under Taluk Island and during the early morning had a whole gale from the NNE with rain squalls. At noon the wind had decreased to a fresh NNE gale and during the afternoon the vessel proceeded southward having during the evening a strong NNE breeze, showery weather and a rough E sea.

The Taisang and Wosang were not very far asunder and near the position 2840, 122°. The former was in shelter and had a strong NNE gale at noon with rain and slightly falling barometer. At midnight she had a moderate N gale. The Wosang was hove to on the port tack at 7.25 a. and had at the time a strong NE by N gale with very high sea which did some damage to deck fittings and later on stove in the saloon doors. The barometer fell but slightly, but towards evening the wind increased to a whole gale from NE by N with heavy rain squalls. These vessels were at noon about 200 miles N by E of the centre which was then commencing to move NEward.

The Soochow was about 40 miles NE by N of the Wosang at noon steaming southward. She had then a moderate NE increasing gale with falling barometer. During the afternoon she sustained some damage on deck and at 4 p. was hove to. During the evening the wind increased to a whole gale from N with violent squalls and rain.

The Benlarig at noon in 29° 26', 123° 36′ and about 250 miles NNE of the centre had a NE by E fresh gale during the early morning with falling barometer. At 11 a. she was hove to and oil was made use of as there was a very high sea running. During the evening the wind increased in force and at 8 p. there was a whole gale with rain from the NNE. About this time the heavy sea started the breakwater on forecastle head breaking three deck planks. At midnight the wind had backed to N, but was still a whole gale with barometer continuing to fall. More oil was used at this time. The centre was about 90 miles to the SSE of this vessel at midnight.

The Deuteros was about 40 miles to the N of the Benlarig at noon and during the evening experienced a whole gale from NE by N backing and decreasing after midnight. Rain fell continuously after noon.

910 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

On October 12th moderate NE monsoon prevailed on the West Coast of China and in the China Sea with fine weather. Weather was also fine at the stations surrounding the Formosa Channel where light to moderate N to NW winds prevailed with a great rise in the barometer since the previous day. On the East Coast in the neighbourhood of Shanghai a considerable reduction of pressure had taken place and in North China, Korea and W. Japan the fall amounted to between two and three tenths in the 24 hours. At the East Coast stations near the mouth of the Yangtze there blew a moderate to fresh gale from NNE with rain during the early morning. In the afternoon the weather cleared up, the wind backing to NNW and NW and decreasing in force. Fine weather prevailed along the Yangtze with light NE to NW breezes. In Korea NE breezes prevailed, fresh to strong breezes in the South with rain. In W. Japan light to moderate E breezes veering and increasing during the day with wet weather prevailed.

 The Benlarig at noon on the 12th was about 240 miles WSW of the centre and she had then a moderate NW gale with sea going down. Earlier in the morning at 4 a. she had a strong N gale (barometer 29.60 lowest).

 The Taisang left her anchorage (28° 28', 121° 50') for the North at 4 a. the wind having decreased and backed with rising barometer. At 5 a. she had a fresh WNW gale decreasing.

 The Wosang also proceeded on her course Southward at 4 a. the barometer rising and the wind moderating from a strong NNW gale at 4 a. to a strong NW by N breeze at 8 a.

 The Soochow had a strong N gale at 4 a., but later it moderated and backed a little. At noon she was in 28° 4', 121o 5'.

 The Empress of Japan was at noon in 28° 12', 121° 54′ steaming northwards. The barometer was rising and she had fine weather with a strong NNW breeze decreasing and backing to W at midnight.

 The Meefoo was hove to near Barren Island (30° 43′, 123° 7′) during the morning of the 12th and experienced a fresh N backing gale with a very heavy sea from NNE to ESE. The barometer was rising after 6 a. and towards noon the weather was improving.

 The Chi Yuen in 33° 47', 126° 37′ at noon had a strong NNE breeze with falling barometer and wind backing and decreasing in the evening. The weather was squally and showery.

 The Nurnberg which left Nagasaki for Hongkong on the evening of the 12th met a moderate S gale with rain squalls soon after leaving port and barometer at 8 p. 29.54. On the 12th at noon the centre was in 30° 40', 126° 40'. It continued to move in about a NE by N direction with increasing speed and in the evening the centre was near the coast of NW Kiusiu (Japan). It had become now an ordinary depression. From the Japanese weather maps it is seen that the depression on the 13th after passing along the northern shores of the Inland Sea quickly traversed central and northern Japan and disappeared towards the NE.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893. 911

This shows a great difference between the angle to the N and to the S of the centre. To the north the angle is small and to the south large. This is accounted for by strong N monsoon prevailing at the time. The winds at a distance towards the N of the centre blew very nearly straight towards it, and to the south of the centre the winds were deflected towards the north and it is seen that the wind circulation there was, for a very short time only, under the direct influence of the storm area, the N monsoon quickly making itself felt again. The progressive motion of the typhoon towards the N and NE against a strong monsoon must have been caused by the air motion prevailing at some height, the NE monsoon frequently being of no great depth. Owing to the temperature being lower over Asia than over the Pacific, gradients at a moderate height above sea level were inverted with lower pressure over Asia than over the Pacific and the centre would move so as to keep that high pressure area on its right hand.

   On October 10th on an average the wind blew with force 10 within a distance of 100 miles of the centre, between 100 and 150 miles with force 9, and between 150 and 250 miles with force 7. The winds were stronger to the north than to the South of the centre and during midday on the 10th typhoon force was felt in some places at a distance of 150 miles to the NNW of the centre i. e. in the northern part of the Formosa Channel. On the 11th October the typhoon having filled to a great extent the force decreased somewhat. On that day the average force was 9 within a 100 miles of the centre, between 100 and 150 miles it was force 7 and between 150 and 250 miles force 6. Between October 10th at 9 a. and October 11th at noon the wind forces between the centre and a distance of 250 miles were as follows: on an average NNE of the centre force 8, SSE force 7, SSW force 6, WSW force 7, WNW force 7, NNW force 10.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

..

 On the 22nd October the weather was fine in China and the Philippines. Moderate NE breezes prevailed in China. Vessels in the China Sea experienced strong NE breezes. The American barque Xenia, bound from Sydney for Hongkong, at noon in 12° 52′, 133° 59′, had high barometer (29.90 at noon), NNE 1, a smooth sea and a NE swell was met. At noon on the 23rd in 13° 3′, 133° 28′ the barometer had fallen to 29.85 with N 4, clear weather and a long NE swell. There must have been every indication of a typhoon coming on from the eastward. At the same time the barometer began to fall very slightly in China as far as Shanghai and Haiphong. The barque Altair in 29° 24', 126° 56′ had 30.00, N 5 and fine weather.

 The barque Xenia experienced cloudy and squally weather with lightning and heavy rain up to 8 a. on the 24th, with W wind. At 8 a. she tacked to the N i. e. she chose the port tack for running in a typhoon which is not recommended. Had she proceeded on the other tack she would have escaped the typhoon. At noon in 13° 57', 132° 45' same weather with 29.78, WNW 4, wind and sea increasing. Shortly after the gaff topsail and main topgallant sail split and new sails were bent in their place. At 4 p. with N by W wind she went on the starboard tack and at 6 p. again on the port-tack i.e. proceeding N. At 8 p. with NW by W gale increasing the royals were handled and at 9 p. the jib- boom carried away at the cap. There was now a strong W gale and high sea. At 11 p. all was made snug and they wore the ship to the southward, but too late. Shortly after midnight on the morning of the 25th it blew a typhoon from SW by S with fierce squalls and a high cross sea.

                                           The barque laboured heavily, rolling and pitching hard and the waves broke on board both fore and aft. The mainsail was blown from the yard. The gaff topsail and flying jib were lost, and the mizzen staysail and main-topmast-staysail blew to ribands. In the forenoon it continued blowing with full typhoon force from SW. The lowest barometer was 29.40 and the temperature (88°) continued abnormally high. At noon in 14° 40′, 132° 28' barometer was registered 29.70 (with SSW 12), at 4 p. 29.65 and at midnight 29.63. It then blew from SSW with increased fury, high cross sea, furious squalls and continuous downpour of rain. Of course the readings of the aneroid are uncertain as it is so difficult to read it to a tenth in such weather. At noon on the 25th South Cape registered: 30.02, NNE 5, c. Light N breezes prevailed over Luzon with cloudy weather (barometer 29.91 in the north and perhaps about 29.80 in the south).

On the 26th October from midnight to 8 a. the typhoon continued from SW on board the Xenia.. At 1 a. the foretopsail blew away and she was hove to on the port tack (being in the left hand semi- circle). At 11 a. she was kept away from the wind. At noon she was in 15° 41', 131° 12'.

At 1 p. the typhoon blew from SSE. At 3 p. the foretopmast stay carried away but the mast was secured (barometer 29.60 falling). At 8 p. it blew from the same quarter with unabated fury. The schooner Jenny in 7°, 150° had strong southerly wind on this day.

On the morning of the 27th it blew from SSE by E on board the Xenia. Part of the starboard bulwarks were washed away. After 8 a. it began to moderate. Foresail and upper foretopsail were At noon she was in 18° 13', 129° 1' with barometer 29.80. In the afternoon it blew ESE S with a fearfully high cross-sea. At noon South Cape registered 29.97, NNE 3, c. and Bolinao 29.84, NNE 1, b.

set.

 On the 28th the Xenia at noon in 19° 12', 127° 40' had the wind from ESE moderating to a breeze but the sea kept running high from all directions. At 7 a. the cap to the foremast head carried away and broke the foretopmast stay. The weather was clear and barometer rising (29.93 at 6 p.) At noon it blew a moderate NNW gale in Bolinao with falling barometer (29.67). South Cape registered: 29.96, NNE 4, c. but it blew NNE 6 to 7 at Fisher Island. The S.S. Koushing in 16° 41', 119° 42' registered 29.61 strong NNW wind and rough sea. At Manila it blew a gentle WSW breeze. The barometer was rising in southern China, gradients rather steep for N winds, weather clear, warm and dry.

Although it is not possible to construct a very accurate path from these observations the positions of the centre of the typhoon must have been nearly as follows. On the 24th October 15°, 136°; on the 25th: 15°, 133°; on the 26th: 15°, 130°; on the 27th: 16, 127; on the 28th: 16°, 125"; and on the 29th: 17°, 123°.

In the afternoon on the 29th this typhoon recurved. The following are some of the principal observations made at noon. The barometer was falling at all the stations in China :--

   At Bolinao it blew at intervals during the night in furious gusts of wind and rain especially between 3 a. and 4 a. on the 29th.

   The Xenia had a heavy cross swell. She had proceeded straight for Hongkong without further reference to the typhoon, and ran in consequence again into the left hand semi-circle after the centre had recurved. She was now to the N of the centre and had at 11.30 p. a strong NE gale and mountainous NE sea. She was hove to on the starboard tack, and had therefore to go through the typhoon again. However it seems it did not blow so hard as before as the centre was now moving against the NE monsoon. The lowest barometer 29.79 was registered at 6 p. at South which the fresh NE gales gradually decreased in force.

At noon on the 30th October the centre appears to have been in about 19o, 125°:

   At noon on the 31st the centre may be estimated to have been in about 20°, 128°. The Xenia at 2 p. in 20° 20′, 121° 59′ had NNE 7, a very rough sea and great quantities of water on board. The weather was cloudy and squally. The barometer was rising at all the stations and there was a regular NE monsoon, blowing hard in from 6° to 15° latitude in the China Sea, where the ships Dorothea and Continental, and the barques Nicoya and Harvard had moderate NE gales.

NOVEMBER.

On the 5th November the barque Nicoya in 12° N, 115° E had a fresh NE breeze, squally weather, a rapidly falling glass, and increasing sea. The lower topsails were reduced. On the 6th November there was a depression forming over the neighbourhood of Palawan in 10° N, but it was not well defined. The barometer in that latitude read about 29.75, and 29.95 in 15° N, and 29.90 in 4° N. There was a swell in the southern part of the China Sea, hazy horizon, squally and wet weather. The Nicoya in 13° N, 116° E registered strong NE wind, squally weather and high cross sea. On the 7th fine weather was experienced on board all vessels south of 10° N with SW monsoon. Vessels north of 13° N had moderate NE monsoon. On the 8th fine weather continued with moderate NE monsoon north of 14° N, W wind south of 5° N, and variable light breezes between these latitudes. On the 9th a very light NE monsoon appeared to extend itself to the southward. On the 10th the barque Harvard in 13° N, 116° E had increasing N by E wind and squally weather.

At noon on the 11th November the Captain of the barque Harvard remarked the appearance of a typhoon but the barometer was "not falling" i. e. the readings are not entered in the log-book and therefore the fall was not ascertained. The barque was in 12° 59′, 118° 2. The centre of the typhoon was probably 250 miles to the SW. The wind was NE 7 and hauled to the E the following midnight. The centre of the typhoon which may have been in the neighbourhood of Palawan about the 10th or 11th was at noon on the 12th in about 11° 40', 112° 15′ and at noon on the 13th in about 14° 2′, 110° 20'. It then moved towards SW Hainan, but it seems it ceased to blow before it reached the Gulf of Tongking. On the 12th the barometer was high and had risen a tenth in southern China. The weather was cloudy, cool and dry. Fresh NE breezes prevailed. On the 13th the barometer had

922 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

fallen a tenth. A fresh NE gale blew throughout the day at Hoihow with occasional showers of rain (barometer 30.08 at 10 a. in Hongkong 30.16 at 10 a) It moderated during the following night. Gentle SE breezes prevailed in Luzon. At Cape S. James it blew a moderate SW gale accompanied by a high sea and squally weather. At sea it appears to have blown a strong breeze within 400 miles towards the N of the centre, and within 300 miles towards the S, and it blew a moderate gale at least within 100 miles of the centre. There was a more or less heavy swell everywhere in the China Sea.

At 7 p. on the 12th this Russian Steamer in about 12° 25′, 111° 10′ was very near the centre. At 7 p. the entry was made: NW 10, 29.49; but the barometer has not been compared here. There was a heavy and continuous downpour of rain without thunder and about 7 p. a calm of 3 or 4 minutes duration.

   At 10 a. on the 19th November the barometer reached a maximum 29.97 at Bolinao, where light land and sea breezes (SE in the morning and NW in the evening) prevailed. At 10 a. on the 20th the barometer had fallen (Bolinao: 29.84 SE 1 c.) The barometer was steady in southern China (Hongkong 30.10 E 4 ov The weather was cloudy, warm and rather dry.

At noon on the 19th the ship Helen Brewer in 15° 50', 127° 36' had a fresh NE gale, which sprung up during the morning. At 1 p. (barometer 30.02) it rose to blow a strong NE gale. She was hove to under spanker, foretopmast staysail and mizen topmast staysail. At noon on the 20th in 1-6° 15′, 127° 13′ (barometer 29.54) there was a high cross sea. At 3.15 p. the sea and gale becoming so violent, that it was no longer possible to lay to (the ship being insufficiently ballasted and loaded all over with kerosine oil from America for Hongkong) and the ship labouring heavily and the decks being full of water they took in the spanker and mizen topmast staysail and ran across the path of the typhoon in front of the centre directly for Luzon under bare poles and foretopmast staysail heading NW/? (? SW/W). The wind gradually backed to the N and W and the ship was quite properly kept with the wind on the starboard quarter. The barometer fell at the rate oftenth an hour. It blew a terrific typhoon with fierce squalls and occasional lulls. The ship was heading WSW at midnight and running 7 knots. The barometer fell at the rate of 1 tenths per hour which indicates a gradient of about 0.50 inch in 15 miles. At 2 a. on the 21st the foretopmast staysail blew away. She was then heading SW (barometer 28.74) in 14° 30', 125° 0'. They tried to keep her before the wind but at 4 a. (barometer 28.44) she broached to and was hove down on her beam ends so far that the lee yard arms of the fore and mainyard were half under water. The port lifeboat, the cutter and everything moveable on deck went overboard, and the sea broke in under the topgallant forecastle and filled every cabin forward with water. They cleared away the jib to pay her off but it blew away. The outer jib blew away afterwards. They set the maintopmast staysail-same fate. They loosed the lee clew of the forelowertopsail but it blew away at once, clean torn from the boltrope. The weather side of the foresail was loosed and the whole sail blew away. These were all new sail. The ship was on her first voyage out. At 4.30 a. the barometer began to rise, after a slight lull lasting a few minutes. Then the typhoon began with increased fury from SW. At 6 a. the barometer (28.94) had risen inch in 2 hours. The ship remained on her beam ends, in a most critical situation, the hatches being likely to wash away as they were all under water. At 7 a. they cut away fore and maintop- gallant mast and began to clear away the wreck. They bent a new foretopmast staysail and jib to try and pay her off. But she would not answer her helm. They cut away the rigging of the mizen- topgallant mast but the mast did not carry away. At noon on the 21st (barometer 29.24) it was reckoned that the ship had been carried 104 miles in the past 24 hours in her circular course round the centre. In the afternoon it blew with great violence and the sea was tremendous.

                                           The ship remained on her beam ends. It began to moderate at 4 p. At midnight barometer 29.34. The topgallant yards and masts were under the ship and striking heavily, though all hands had been trying to clear away the wreckage. At daylight

the wreckage. At daylight on the 22nd there were 11 inches of water in the hold. The lee rail was out of the water and the gale abating. At noon she was in 15° 49', 124° 41'. At noon on the 23rd she was in 16° 19′, 124° 34' with a list to port of 6". There was a moderate S to SSW wind but a heavy confused sea (barometer 29.64) She ran for Cebu as the rudder pintles were damaged.

924

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 At noon on the 19th the centre must have been in about 14°, 129°, at noon on the 20th in 1440, 1264° and at noon on the 21st in 150, 124. It blew with typhoon force within 50 miles of the centre, and a strong gale within 100 miles. To the north of the centre it blew a strong breeze within 600 miles.

 On the 21st a strong SW gale was experienced on board the S.S. Cosmopolit moored at double anchor in Iloilo. The barque Harvard at noon on the 20th in 20°, 118° had strong NE wind and very bad sea continuing next day. On the 22nd in 20° 48', 118° 50' she experienced a moderate gale from NE/E with cloudy and squally weather and drizzling rain.

 The observations made at the same time on board the S.S. Thales, moored in Battery Bay (Pescadores), agree closely with those made on board H.M.S. Pallas. The S.S. Kwanglee coming down from Shanghai had a fresh N gale in about 28°, 122° in the afternoon on the 23rd. The S.S. Woosung at 8 p. on the 23rd had a fresh W gale (barometer 30.05), near Chinkiang. The sailing vessel Altair in 38°, 121o at 4.20 a. on the 23rd encountered a terrific NNE gale which threw the ship on her beam ends, shifting the cargo. They cut away all sails, stays and rigging and then she partly righted. The seas washed away boats and did great damage to the deck-rooms. The tarpaulins got off the hatches and the water poured into the main hatch. They attempted to wear but the sails were blown out of the gaskets. There was a tremendous snow-storm and mountainous sea at noon. At 3.30 p. the gale moderated. It blew steady from NNE.

At noon on the 22nd the centre of the typhoon was in about 18°, 123°. In the evening it appears to have passed northwards to the E of South Cape within probably 100 miles. About that time it recurved and at noon on the 23rd it was in about 27°, 125°.

On board the Peru the lowest barometer was read after the calm centre had passed and when the typhoon was blowing with full force from the S. On board the Alert the wind hauled into the NE quarter about 8 p. on the 23rd and the barometer began to fall rapidly, passing showers increasing to steady rain. The sea was then moderate. From midnight to 4 a. on the 24th it shifted to SE and S and increased with steady rain and thick weather. About 10.10 a. the wind fell calm and then suddenly shifted to NE and blew with typhoon force, and heavy blinding rain, the old sea being beaten down by the wind. About noon it began to clear but it still blew hard in the squalls and the sea was very high and confused.

   The centre was at noon on the 24th in 33° 30', 127° 50′ moving ENEward at the rate of about 50 miles an hour. The S.S. Guthrie in 34°, 131° had 29.84 NW 11 with fierce squalls. The S.S. Sutlej in 291, 122° had 30.06 NW 8. Strong N winds prevailed in central Japan with heavy rain. After this typhoon the NE monsoon blew with great strength over the Eastern Seas.

A fresh

 There was a tremendous cross sea in the middle of the Gulf on the 2nd and wet weather. The calm centre passed over the Loosok about noon. The centre appears to have come up from the S or SE. It is very unusual to have the presence of a typhoon centre in so very low a latitude as this must have been in on the 1st, but from the observations on board the Namyong it appears that there was a very minute depression in about 5°, 108° on the morning of the 1st. NE gale with squally and wet weather and high sea was reported from Cape S. James. At noon it was perhaps in 7°, 107. It must have moved up into the Gulf with a velocity most unusual in that latitude, but there was a strong NE monsoon blowing in the China Sea. At noon on the 2nd we know it was in 10° 30′, 102° 13′. At that time it blew a strong gale within 200 miles of the centre. It then moved Eward towards the Isthmus of Kraw which it may have entered in a latitude of 11o.

 On the 7th December the Nanshan experienced another typhoon in the China Sea. Cape S. James reported N 5 and slight swell at 9 a. on the 7th. NW 7 and swell at 3 p. W 7 and swell at 9 a. on the 8th and NE 4 and fine weather at 3 p.

It appears that the centre may have originated N of Borneo and W of Palawan on the 6th. At, noon on the 7th it was in about 10° 40′, 112° 20′, and at midnight in about 13° 20′, 109° 20'. Then it entered Cochin China near Quinhon and appears to have moved Wward on the 8th. It blew a strong NE gale to the north of the centre 300 miles away, but to the S of the centre only about 150 miles away.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 323.

The following Report on the progress of the Public Works during the first half-year 1893, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th August, 1893.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

No. 715.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 15th July, 1893.

SIR,--In accordance with instructions contained in C.S.O. 279, I have the honour to forward you a brief report on the progress of Public Works during the first half of this year, viz., from January 1st to June 30th.

ANNUAL RECURRENT EXPENDITURE.

  2. Maintenance of Buildings.--All Government Buildings at present in occupation have been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair without incurring any exceptional expenditure.

  3. The Superintendent's Quarters and outbuildings at the Gaol have been redrained and the drainage of these premises is now in a satisfactory condition, C.S.O. 215.

1893

  4. The building known as Crosby Store now used as a store for this Department and offices for the Educational Department is fast approaching a condition that, unless it is to be abandoned altogether, extensive repairs will have shortly to be carried out.

5. The old Police Station and Harbour Office at Aberdeen is being re-roofed and other minor repairs carried out. It has been decided, C.S.O. 1928, to utilize a portion of this building as a Government School.

6. The roof of the Stanley Police Station has been a constant source of trouble specially during the rainy season, and it will be expedient during the coming winter to replace the present flat roof by a ridged one.

  7. Maintenance of Telegraphs.-As stated in my last annual report, provision has been made in this year's estimate for partly meeting the expenditure to be incurred in the more general introduction of telephones in the place of telegraph instruments, as a means of communication between the several Police Stations, and other Government buildings throughout the Colony, and effecting other minor improvements set out in my report, C.S.O.

810 1892'

  This work has proceeded very satisfactorily, the lines in Kowloon have been constructed through- out as has also the line from Causeway Bay to Shaukiwan, and the whole of the telegraph instruments with the exception of the ones at the Post Office and Gap Rock, in connection with the Gap Rock cable, have been replaced by telephones.

8. Public Cemetery.-The Public Cemetery has been maintained without any exceptional expendi-

The number of interments. have been 37.

  9. Maintenance of Praya Wall and Piers.--The usual repairs have been carried out and no exceptional expenditure incurred.

  10. Maintenance of Lighthouses.-The Lighthouses have been maitained in a satisfactory state of repair.

  11. Maintenance of Disinfector.-The building and apparatus is in a satisfactory state of repair and no expenditure has been incurred on them during the current year.

  12. Dredging Foreshores.-The dredger has been mainly employed at Causeway Bay from which 21,458 cubic yards of materials have been removed and deposited in the Praya Reclamation Works. The Dredger and Machinery is in a satisfactory state of repair.

  13. Miscellaneous Works. The principal works carried out under this heading have been:-- Providing and fixing anemometer at the signal-man's hut at the Victoria Peak including alterations to the hut. The provision of drying rooms at the Government Civil Hospital. The erection of iron railings at the Lunatic Asylums, and the construction of two wells at Yau Ma Ti and Hung Hom.

  Contracts have been entered into, C.S.O. 1983, for the reconstruction of the Magazine Gap Road Bridge, and for the construction of a Telescope House at the Observatory, C.S.O. 1333.

936

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

  14. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-During the period under review the following roads have been re-macadamized and the side channels and kerbs straightened and improved, viz.: Queen's Road West to New Street, Wing Lok Street, Jervois Street, Queen's Street, Bonham Strand West, Mercer Street and Cross Street. Minor repairs have been effected in various parts of the city.

  15. Maintenance of Roads out of Victoria.--The surfaces of Mount Kellet Road from the Aberdeen Road to Des Voeux Villas and the Peak Road from Mount Austin Hotel to Rural Building Lot No. 59, the lower portion of the Bowen Road and a portion of the Aberdeen New Road have been concreted with lime and cement concrete.

  The Main Street of Aberdeen has been macadamized, kerbs and channels fixed where required, and surface drainage improved. Minor repairs have been effected in various parts throughout the island.

16. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges, Kowloon.-Bulkeley Street Hung Hom has been macada- mized, kerbed and channelled as has also a portion of Station Street Yau Ma Ti. Minor repairs have been effected in various parts of the Peninsula.

17. Maintenance of Water Works.-The water works have been maintained in a satisfactory manner without any extraordinary expenditure.

18. The scarcity of water that again prevailed during the months of March and April however necessitated the introduction of the intermittent system of supply.

There is not the slightest doubt that the scarcity experienced during that period and during the months of February, March, April and May, 1891, was mainly due to the waste and misuse of water by the inhabitants of the City of Victoria and Hill District generally, though at the same time the rainfall during these periods was considerably below the average.

"L

 19. Under section 5 of the Water Works Ordinance, "It shall be lawful for all persons occupying or owning any tenement to construct services for the supply of water from the Water Works... "and on the completion of the service to the satisfaction of the Water Authority it shall be connected "by the Water Authority to the water works."

The owners of 4,431 tenements have availed themselves of this privilege, and the consumption of water for domestic purposes averaged during 1892 for the whole population of the City and Hill Districts the high figure of 19 gallons a head per diem, clearly shewing that the privilege has been grossly abused.

20. In framing the above quoted section of the Ordinance the convenience of the public generally was evidently the first consideration, and it is with regret that I have to record that after 18 months experience the facilities for obtaining an ample supply of water thus offered have only resulted in its wholesale waste and misuse. The occupants of premises are the persons who clearly have it in their power to reduce this waste and misuse and they have failed to do so. Consequently it has been found necessary to enforce the provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Water Works Ordinance.

21. The City has been divided into 45 districts, and meters are being fixed for the purpose of ascertaining the consumption in every tenement or block of tenements in these districts, and the "Pres-

Owners and tenants of cribed domestic quantity" is also being fixed in respect of such tenements.

property will doubtless experience some inconvenience from the adoption of this course, but it must not be lost sight of that the Government have given them every opportunity to reduce the waste and misuse of water by ordinary means, they have failed to do so, and the Government have been forced to adopt exceptional measures for the protection of the Public Water Supply.

22. The following tabular statement respecting the consumption of water under the constant and intermittent system may be of interest,

   23. It will be seen from the foregoing that the minimum supply during the period of scarcity was an average of 94 gallons per head per diem, more than ample to meet the ordinary domestic necessities of the population.

   24. In appendices A and B will be found detailed information respecting the water supplied by the reservoirs and streams during the dry periods of 1892-1893 and 1890-1891. The partuiclars speak for themselves and are conclusive evidence of the absurdity of a story that has found some credence to the effect that there is a serious leakage through the Tytam Dam.

   25. Maintenance of Sewers.-The sewers throughout the Colony have been maintained in a satis- factory condition without any exceptional expenditure being incurred.

26. Lighting of City of Victoria and Kowloon.-The lighting contracts have been satisfactorily carried out by the Gas and Electric Companies in their respective areas.

   27.-- Maintenance of Public Recreation Ground.-The Public Recreation Ground has been main- tained at a small cost.

28.-Land Survey Branch.-During the year, five land sales have taken place, the area leased being 14,880 square feet, and 45 lease plans have been forwarded to the Land Office. In addition to the above, plans and particulars of leases have been sent to the Land Office for the preparation of the leases recommended by the Squatters Board in respect of the village of Aberdeen.

29. Surveys of the Villages of Ah-kung-ngam, Shaukiwan (East and West), Fuk Tsun Heung and Mongkok, have been completed.

30. Inspection of Buildings.-During the current year, plans for 9 European houses, 15 Chinese houses, 20 miscellaneous structures, and 78 for alterations to existing buildings have been deposited.

One hundred and fifteen buildings have been certified under Section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889. Permission has been granted to erect seven verandahs and two Piers over Crown Land. Notices have been issued to remove or repair dangerous structures in 39 instances and to remove verandah enclosures in one.

Three hundred and ninety-five miscellaneous notices and permits have been issued.

EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.

   31. The Central Market.-Considerable progress has been made with this building during the last six months. The walls have been carried up to an average height of 8 feet above the first floor level, and all the girders and flooring plates fixed.

32. Contribution to Reclamation in front of Marine Lots 95-8 and 105.-This work was completed last year and the expenditure incurred during the present year is the balance due under the contract. All liabilities on account of the construction of this work have now been discharged.

33. Training Albany Nullah and Branches.-The extension named in my last annual report has been completed.

   34. Slaughter House, Pig and Sheep Depots, Kennedy Town.-Detail plans and estimates were laid before and approved by the Public Works Committee on the 8th March last and adopted by the Council. A contract has been entered into, C.S.O. 2299, with Messrs. CHAN A TONG & Co.; the whole of the foundations have been completed and the walls of the several blocks carried up to an average height of about two feet.

18921

35. Kowloon New Roads.-The construction of this work was unfortunately delayed during the early part of this year but was recommenced in April last and satisfactory progress has since been made towards its completion.

36. New Water Mains.--A small expenditure has been incurred under this heading in relaying the pipes from the North East corner of Happy Valley to the East Point Refinery.

   37. Sewerage of the City of Victoria.-The sewerage works in Districts Nos. 1 W., 2 W. and 3 W. have been completed with the exception of a short length which is awaiting the completion of the Storm Water Drain in Eastern Street.

38. Water Supply Kowloon.-Details, Drawings and Estimates have been prepared for the carrying out of this scheme and subject to the recommendation of the Public Works Committee and the approval of Council it is proposed to commence the work very shortly.

39. Extension of MacDonnell and Austin Roads, Kowloon.-Detail plans and estimates of this work including the lowering of a portion of Station Street, Yau Ma Ti, were laid before and approved by the Public Works Committee at a meeting held on the 25th of May last, and adopted by Council. The contract is now being prepared and the work will shortly he proceeded with.

938

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 40. Cattle Depot, Kowloon Peninsula.-Plans have been prepared for the construction of a Cattle Depot in Kowloon Peninsula in close proximity to the existing Slaughter House as recommended by the Sanitary Board. These plans were approved by the Public Works Committee at a meeting held on the 5th of April last and adopted by Council. It is proposed to proceed with this work early next year.

41. Proposed Works.-Plans and Contracts are being prepared for an extension to the Volunteer Quarters, for the extension and improvement of the Victoria Gaol, and for the reconstruction of the Government Piers interfered with by the Praya Reclamation.

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 hinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonesc, 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 CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 14th July, 1893.

Enclosure No. 1.

Enclosure No. 2.

SIR,

In accordance with instructions contained in your minute of the 26th ultimo, I requested Dr. ATKINSON to give me a report of a case of Morphia injection by Chinese that came under his notice in the Government Civil Hospital and also requested Mr. Crow, Government Analyst, to ascertain, if possible, the preparation of Morphia used and the strength of the solutions from the samples forwarded, and also to procure samples direct for himself, if possible, and get all the information he could generally as to the practice of Morphia injection among the Chinese. These reports I now forward. Mr. CROW's report is a very complete one and leaves no doubt upon the subject.

The dose used as it appears quite commonly of gr. of Morphia in solution is a very full one and very rarely used by a medical practitioner; to allay even very acute pain ato of a grain are the doses most commonly used. It will be seen by this that the dose used among the Chinese is a very full one.

This supposed cure for Opium smoking is the introduction of an undoubtedly pernicious habit for one that, as I have proved, is a very doubtful one and easily cured with no evil effects to the patient by complete deprivation at once. To deprive these men of the habit at once of using Morphia injections will cause much suffering, not only nervous exhaustion for want of the stimulant, but in the majority of cases it will result in an attack of profuse diarrhoea very difficult to control and will result in a sort of Cholera scare.

Morphia injection is used ostensibly for the cure of Opium smoking, but from the evidence given there is no attempt whatever to decrease the strength of the injections; but on the contrary the number of doses taken appears to increase and the evidence points to the introduction of a habit well known to be an undoubtedly pernicious habit for one that is to say the most of it a very doubtfully pernicious

one.

The profit side of the question is the only one likely to be looked upon by those who conduct the cure. It is shown to be from 200 to 400 per cent., and as long as they make such a profit there is little chance of their patients being cured.

I am of opinion that it is of little use striking at the sale of the drug or the instruments used as there are European Agencies for these in all the principal Chinese towns. The only way will be to strike at the shops in which it is practised, the same as gambling houses, and the punishments should be severe and refer only to the keepers.

At the same time provisions will have to be made to meet the evils which will arise from this stoppage amongst those that have contracted the habit which might be done by a notification by the Registrar General that medicines can be obtained from the European hospitals and dispensaries and also from Police Stations the same as has been done in regard to Cholera Cases.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

PH. ?. C. AYRES,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

Enclosure No. 1.

(Government Analyst to Colonial Surgeon.)

GOVERNMENT LABORATORY,

HONGKONG, 1st July, 1893.

SIR,

 My attention was first called to the practice of Morphine injecting among the Chinese about a month ago by Dr. ATKINSON, when handing me a bottle of liquid alleged to have been prepared for subcutaneous injection which on analysis proved to be a solution of Hydrochlorate of Morphine.

 2. At my request our Compradore, Mr. Hoo A CHOO, brought me, about a month ago, a victim of this pernicious habit who volunteered the following state- ment :-

"My name is CHU A YEE. I am a barber, and am 28 years of age. The marks on my arms and thighs are caused by a needle used for insert- ing medicine. I took the medicine for the first time in this way in October last. At first I had two injections daily, one in the morn- ing and one in the evening. Afterwards, when I had diarrhoea and pains in the stomach, I had one or two injections more.

After using the injections for three months, my arm used to be very stiff at night. I am now having four or five injections daily. Have had two this morning (12 noon). At first I paid two cents for each injection. I now only pay one cent. I had the injections in the first place because I was told by many people that they would cure me of the opium habit. Have not smoked any opium since October 1892. Up to that date I had been an opium smoker for more than a year. I felt better when I smoked opium than I do now. I used to get medicine injected at the Chun Tak-tong, drug shop, Wyndham Street. They were made this morning by CHAN MUI YUK, Queen's Road Central."

3. I may mention that the man on that date weighed 112 lbs. somewhat dazed.

He appeared

4. Thinking it would be useful to have some information as to the strength of the Morphine solution I requested Mr. Hoo A CHO? to obtain a supply. He forwarded it to me on Sunday last. I then requested him to send the actual purchaser to my Office.

Office. The man came on the 29th ultimo. He was the barber referred to in paragraph 2. His appearance had certainly not improved. Weight 107 lbs. -a loss of 5 lbs. within a month. He said that he had had three injections that day.

5. He made the following statement :----

On the 25th June, Mr. Hoo A CHOO gave me $1.30 to buy some medicine. I went to Tsing Lok Hin, 87, Queen's Road West, and saw the man who had given me injections on a former occasion. I asked him to let me have some of the medicine he uses. He filled the bottle (one fluid ounce) I had with me and charged 20 cents for it. I handed the bottle to MAK KAU."

6. MAK KAU informed me that he handed this bottle to Mr. Hoo A CHOO personally.

 7. Submitted to analysis this solution yielded 2 % of Morphine-2.5 % of the Hydrochlorate or Muriate, the commonest commercial salt of this alkaloid.

 8. The solid preparation handed to me by Dr. ATKINSON a few days ago proved to be Hydrochlorate of Morphine.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 969

9. It appeared to me desirable to have ocular proof of this practice. Accord- ingly accompanied by Mr. CHAU KAM-Tsun, one of my assistants, I went to No. 87, Queen's Road West, yesterday morning. I directed him to go upstairs and ask the man in charge if he would allow me to visit his establishment. No objection being offered, I entered and observed three men asleep on mats, and about 12 or 15 standing in the verandah. Some of the men, I was informed, had just had injections; the others were waiting their turn. There were numerous puncture scars on their arms. I saw two operations performed. In one case about 15 minims, and in the other case about 20 minims were injected. The operator informed me that there was a limit as to the number of minims he injected and that the quantity used depended on the amount of opium his patients had been in the habit of smoking. The Syringe used was a good instrument of American manufacture. The operation was performed in the usual way and after each injection the needle was wiped with a dirty rag. The operator said, he prepared the solution himself from a powder purchased at a European Pharmacy and showed me an empty bottle labelled "Muriate of Morphine, Poison."

10. I may here mention that this injecting business is a profitable undertaking. I understand the Chinese can buy Hydrochlorate of Morphine locally at $2.50 per ounce (437.5 grains). From this quantity 875 injections each containing half a grain of Morphine Hydrochlorate could be prepared. This would leave a profit of $6.25 on each ounce of Morphine at a charge of 1 cent for each injection. If 3rd of a grain were used at each injection the profit would be about $10.00.

11. There can be no two opinions as to the baneful nature of this practice, and no effort should be spared to stop it forthwith.

12. The Ordinance should be made as sweeping as possible. A saving clause in favour of practitioners registered under Ordinance No. 6 of 1884 would, I presume, be necessary. Native practitioners holding diplomas granted by the College of Medicine for Chinese should not be exempted from the operation of the Bill. Having regard to the profitable character of the business, as set forth in paragraph 10, the temptation to take up the practice of injecting Morphine would be great indeed.

13. At the same time something should, I think, be done to relieve the sufferings of those now having injections if the practice is made illegal. These men will be in a terrible state when the injections are discontinued.

14. Would it not be possible to supply from this Department some powerful stimulant and tonic such as Cinchona and Aromatic Spirit of Ammonia to all victims of the injection habit on application?

15. These wretched creatures will not be able to satisfy the inevitable craving by a return to opium smoking. I said to the man CHU A YEE on the 29th ultimo Why don't you stop it? You will die if you go on at this rate." He replied "How can I? I am a poor man and can't afford to buy opium for smoking. If I smoke opium again it will cost me twice as much as it did before."

16. Poverty on the one hand and the exorbitant charge made by the Opium Farmer for the smoking extract on the other are in my opinion the chief causes of the introduction of this practice.

 I have the honour to report that on the 31st May last, I interviewed a Street Coolie who was sent to me by Mr. MCCALLUM. His statement was as follows:-

"My name is Fu A-KWAN. I am 43 years old and live at No. 7, Tai Loi Lane, First Street. I am a Street Coolie. For the past twenty years I have been in the habit of smoking opium, the daily amount being three

"A little over two months ago I was told that I could be cured of this habit by having some medicine inserted into my arm.

"Twice daily I have had this done at the Hung Cheung Shop (crockery ware shop) Morrison Street, for which I have paid one cent each injection. It is much cheaper than smoking opium and I get the same

satisfaction out of it.

"I know of ten Chinese Doctors who each treats 50 to 100 men daily with this medicine.'

"}

 The man had a number of marks on both arms evidently produced by punc- tured wounds.

His weight was 120 lbs.

I received from the Honourable Colonial Treasurer about this date a liquid in a small bottle which he informed me was the medicine used by these Chinese Doctors for this purpose.

I handed it over to the Government Analyst to analyse. About the 20th ultimo I received a solid preparation from the same gentleman which I also handed over to Mr. CROW for purposes of analysis.

HONGKONG, 24th May, 1893.

 The Prepared Opium Ordinance of 1891, section 10, provides for the preparation and sale of prepared opium, and the word "preparation" by the interpretation clause in the Ordinance is stated thus: "the subjecting of opium of any kind to any degree of artificial heat, for any purpose whatever shall be taken to be the preparing of such opium."

 In the latter part of section 10 it is provided "that no medical practitioner, chemist or druggist, not being a Chinese, or being such and having a European or American diploma, shall be prevented from preparing or selling opium bona fide for medical purposes."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 971

Within the last few months a number of establishments have been opened in Hongkong, to which those who have acquired the habit of opium-smoking have been induced to resort for the purpose of having a preparation of opium adminis- tered by means of subcutaneous injections. As the charge made for each injection is very small, large numbers of Chinese have been induced to frequent these houses, and, we believe, that a considerable diminution in the receipts of the Farm arising from the sale of prepared opium for local consumption has been owing to this cause. Under these circumstances we would ask you to be good enough to suggest to the Government either some modification of the law with reference to the sale of preparations of opium, or else that a law might be passed making the subcutaneous injection of drugs, except under certain restrictions and by a duly qualified medical man, a punishable offence.

We are informed that a large number of persons have been seriously injured in their health by having recourse to the places above mentioned, and as the practice is at the same time likely to affect permanently the revenue of the Colony as well as the present Opium Farmers, we feel justified in urging you to bring the matter to the serious attention of the Colonial Government.

The numbers given above cannot be relied on.

The ostensible reason for taking Morphine is to get rid of the craving for but even if a man doesn't want to do so he naturally prefers spending 3 or 4 cents on Morphia to 15 or 20 on opium.

The coolie class patronise these places. I should say that we won't be able to judge of the extent of this practice for another month or so. The writers put the number of people at between 1 and 2,000, who were no doubt all habitual opium smokers.

CENTRAL POLICE STATION,

19th June, 1893.

CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT,

In accordance with instructions received from you and Mr. BUCKLE we have made inquiries regarding the use of Morphia injections.

 The injections of Morphia are made with the object of curing persons of their opium-smoking habits and the method is said to have been instituted by one of Dr. KERR'S students in Canton. It was commenced in Hongkong on a small scale last year, but it is only within the last two or three months that it has attained to its present extensive use. There are in the Colony, including Aberdeen, Shaukiwan and Yaumati, about eighteen places in which about one thousand persons receive injections twice a day. There are a few, who no longer use it, who claim to have been completely cured of their opium-smoking habits by it; but others have tried it and afterwards gone back to opium-smoking.

 A coolie who would smoke 5 or 6 cents' worth of opium a day only pays 1 cent for each injection, so that he saves 3 or 4 cents a day and obtains an equal effect, while at the same time he is getting cured of the opium smoking.

The Morphia used is purchased at the dispensaries as a powder at $40 a lb., by one or two men, who dissolve it in water and sell the solution to the injectors. These inject the liquid under the skin, at the muscles of the arms, with small hypodermic syringes, which are also purchased at the dispensaries. The operator begins on a patient with a big dose, which he decreases daily, or once in two days, for about a month, when the cure should be effected.

Few of those making the injections are even Chinese medical practitioners and none of them have had training under foreigners. The unrestricted use of such a drug by reckless and unqualified practitioners must be a great danger to the community and, like the unrestricted sale, seems to call for the imposition of some restriction as a safeguard. Whether Morphia in the shape of a powder comes under the Ordinance as a preparation of opium may be a question for the law officers to decide, or if the Opium Farmer wishes, he could take up a case as a

test case.

MY LORD Marquess,

(Governor to Secretary of State.)

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 26th April, 1893.

I regret to have to report the occurrence of serious defalcations in the Treasury. On the 2nd of February last, the Treasurer informed the Colonial Secretary that ALVES, the first Clerk of the Treasury, had disappeared, and that the Local Auditor had discovered defalcations in the Accounts. On the 15th of February, the Local Auditor reported that defalcations amounting approximately to the sum of $59,000 had been committed. As his report disclosed that the local Audit was itself not free from blame in the matter, I appointed a Commission on the 20th of February, consisting of Mr. ACKROYD, Puisne Judge, Mr. THURBURN, Man- ager of the Chartered Mercantile Bank, and Mr. BIRD, a gentleman who has acted as Auditor of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, to investigate and report. The scope of their enquiry is shewn in their letter of appointment, copy of which is appended to their report. On the 4th instant the Commission sent in their report. On the 18th instant ALVES was tried on a number of charges, pleaded guilty to larceny, falsification of documents, and the theft of a book belonging to Govern- ment, and was sentenced to six years' imprisonment with hard labour.

2. On receipt of the report of the Commission, copies of which and of the evidence taken by them are herewith forwarded, I had it printed and caused copies of it to be forwarded to Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, Colonial Treasurer, Mr. WODEHOuse, and Mr. MAY, with letters calling on them to shew cause why they should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the amounts misappropriated during their several tenures of the office of Treasurer. Copies of these letters, and of their replies, and of a further correspondence with Mr. WODEHOUSE and Mr. MAY on the subject, are enclosed. I also caused a separate letter, of which I enclose a copy, to be addressed to the Colonial Treasurer, commenting on his neglect of duty disclosed by the report of the Commission and the evidence recorded by them, informing him that the matter would be laid before the Secretary of State, and requesting him to furnish any explanation or statement that he might wish to be considered by Your Lordship. Copies of his reply, and of a separate statement which he has asked to be submitted to Your Lordship are enclosed.

3. It will be seen from the report of the Commission that the defalcations extend over the years 1888-92 inclusive, and amount to some $62,817, that the books have been balanced and no defalcations discovered in excess of the sum stated, and that there is no reason to believe that any misappropriations have been committed by any one in the Treasury except ALVES.

4. The first question that I have had to consider has been whether the amount misappropriated or any, and what, portion of it can be recovered, and from whom such recovery can be made. It has been ascertained that ALVES is practically insolvent, his property being mortgaged for more than its full value, and as the Crown has, as I am informed, in Hongkong, no preferential claim, there is no Mr. LISTER, prospect of recovering any portion of the defalcations from his estate. who is dead, was Treasurer during the first six months of 1888, Mr. WODEHOUSE

relieved him till January 18th, 1890, Mr. LISTER resumed duties from that date until the 21st June of the same year when Mr. WODEHOUSE again acted until the end of the year. Mr. MITCHELL-INNES was appointed Treasurer and assumed duties on January 1st, 1891, and he has been in charge of the Treasury since then up to date with the exception of six months' absence on leave in 1892, during which Mr. MAY acted for him drawing no salary for the first four months and half salary for the remainder of the period.

5. Prima facie Mr. LISTER'S estate and his sureties, to the extent of the bond of $10,000 given for the faithful discharge of his duties, are liable for the amounts misappropriated during the portions of 1888 and 1890 for which he was in charge of the Treasury. He left, I understand, no estate; but I am advised that his bond is still valid and that his sureties are good for $10,000. There are, however, two considerations which, in my opinion, preclude the possibility of recovering at law from the sureties on the bond. The first is that although the total of the amount misappropriated during 1888 and 1889 has been ascertained, it is impossible to state the amount misappropriated during any given portion of that period in consequence of the absence of certain Books which ALVES has made away with. The second consideration is that it would not be practicable after so long an interval, and with Mr. LISTER no longer here to speak for himself, to establish such negligence on his part as would induce a Court of law to give judgment on his bond. It is important in this connection to remember that Mr. LISTER held the office of Treasurer as an adjunct appointment only, and with an almost nominal salary, in conjunction with his substantive appointment of Postmaster General.

 6. The same considerations for the most part apply in the case of Mr. WODE- HOUSE. I am unable, however, to accept either the conclusiveness or the relevancy of some of the arguments which he advances in his letter of the 20th instant. With reference to his letter of 24th instant I must observe that when Government moneys have been stolen in a Government Office it devolves on the officer in charge to discover and report how the theft was committed; but I am of opinion that, apart from the present impossibility of stating what portion of the total amount misappropriated between the beginning of 1888 and the end of 1889 was misappro- priated during the time for which in those years he acted as Treasurer, the fact of his not only having inherited a loose system of accounting in the Treasury, but of his having also held the acting office on an almost nominal salary in conjunction with his substantive appointment, the duties of which may be supposed to have occupied nearly the whole of his time, may properly be considered as a sufficient reason for absolving him from pecuniary responsibility for those misappropriations and also for those which occurred during his tenure of office in 1890. For these reasons I have the honour to recommend that the amount of the defalcations up to the end of 1890 be written off.

 7. The defalcations which have been committed since the beginning of 1891 stand in a different category. On the 1st of January, 1891, the appointment of Treasurer was established as a separate and substantive post, and since then the Treasury has always been in charge of an officer whose whole time has been avail- able for the duties of the office, and the Treasury Staff has been strengthened by the addition of one clerk at the beginning of 1891 and of a second subsequently. Further, I am informed that from the books which exist the exact amounts misap- propriated during the tenure of each of the two officers, Mr. MITCHELL-INNES and Mr. MAY, who have been in charge since the commencement of 1891 can readily be ascertained. It is also on record that the Local Auditor urged on both these officers the necessity of balancing certain books, and that if his suggestions had been complied with ALVES' previous defalcations would at once have been discovered and his subsequent misappropriations prevented. There are therefore reasons, which do not obtain in the cases of Mr. LISTER and Mr. WODEHOUSE, for enforcing the pecuniary responsibility of Mr. MITCHELL-INNES and Mr. MAY for the misap- propriations which have occurred during their respective tenures of office as Treasurer and Acting Treasurer.

 8. There are, however, several considerations which make strongly in Mr. MAY's favour, and which I feel it to be my duty to state, though for reasons which I need not specify he has not seen proper to advance them himself on his own account. I cannot, indeed, accept his statement, though I have no doubt that it is honestly made, that it was the Rent Roll for 1891, and not that for 1890, that the Local Auditor desired him to have balanced. The Commission are of opinion that on this point Mr. NICOLLE's statement is correct, and Mr. MAY's recollection at fault; and, indeed, the circumstances forbid any other conclusion. Nor can I admit

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 975

the validity of his technical plea that Government money which reached ALVES in the Treasury did not "reach the Treasury." But it is only fair to him to mention that when I offered him the acting appointment of Treasurer he asked to be allowed to decline it on the ground that he had never had any experience and had no know- ledge of Treasury work. No other arrangement being feasible in order to allow Mr. MITCHELL-INNES to go on leave, I pressed Mr. MAY to accept the appointment, and it was under these circumstances that he consented to act. Soon after he assumed the duties of the office he informed the Colonial Secretary confidentially, for my consideration, that three out of his four principal subordinates were either past their work, or wholly incompetent, and that it was impossible to get anything approaching a fair day's work out of any of them. The result of these representa- tions was that the three officers in question were compulsorily retired at the end of the year. He also worked very hard and with signal success in getting in arrears of revenue. Under these circumstances it is not, I think, to be wondered at that he failed to exercise such supervision in certain directions as was required to stop the system of misappropriation that had been going on unchecked for many years. may also mention that for four of the six months of his acting tenure he drew no salary as Acting Treasurer, and for only two months half salary. In view of these considerations I would beg leave to recommend that he be absolved from his pecu- niary responsibility, and that the amount misappropriated during the time that he was acting as Treasurer be written off.

I

9. There remain the questions of Mr. MITCHELL-INNES' pecuniary responsibility for the amount misappropriated while he was in charge of the Treasury, and of the judgment to be formed of the manner in which he has discharged, what I conceive to be, his duties as Treasurer. The two questions are, of course, more or less con- nected, but they are distinct questions and require to be separately decided. For when Government money has been stolen in a Treasury, it may be the case that the Treasurer may deserve to be held pecuniarily responsible, and yet that he has not, either so generally, or so culpably neglected his duties as to render him unfit to be continued in his office. I therefore directed the Colonial Secretary to keep the two points distinct, and he accordingly wrote two letters to the Treasurer, the one requesting him to shew cause why he should not be held pecuniarily responsible, and the other inviting his explanation of the fact of his never, either by checking his books, or in any other way, having taken any steps to fulfil his primary duty of ensuring that the revenue which reached his Office was all placed to the credit of the Government. The second of these letters is, as Your Lordship will observe, written on the assumption that it is the first duty of the Treasurer to check receipts. If it is his duty to systematically check receipts and of the Local Auditor to check expenditure then the Treasurer appears to have gravely failed in his duty. If on the other hand, as there appears reason to believe, the Treasurer is entitled to look to the Local Auditor for such systematic checking of receipts, concerning him- self more with the checking of expenditure, then Mr. MITCHELL-INNES' conduct does not appear to me so open to censure; but I shall deal more fully with these points later on.

10. In his reply to the first of these letters the Treasurer confines himself to explaining why he did not have the Rent Roll for 1890 balanced. His explanation is that 1891 was a very busy year, and that the Local Auditor only drew his attention once to the fact of the Rent Roll not being balanced. Mr. NICOLLE, in his evidence before the Commission, states that he called his attention on several occasions; he has subsequently been questioned on the point by the Colonial Secretary and he is very positive that he did call Mr. MITCHELL-INNES' attention on several occasions to the necessity of having the book balanced. The latter, however, denies this.

11. To the second letter of the Colonial Secretary the Treasurer replies in effect that the only neglect of duty with which he can properly be charged consists in his not having had the Rent Roll for 1890 balanced, that the checking of receipts has always been regarded as the duty of the Auditor, and that in his letter of March 22nd, 1892, (copy of which was duly forwarded to Lord KNUTSFORD) he pointed out that the "systematic checking of receipts" could not be properly per- formed by the Treasurer with his existing Staff.

12. In the separate statement which he has asked me to submit to Your Lordship he repeats his contention that the duty of checking receipts is no part of the Treasurer's duties, but devolves solely on the Local Auditor, and he again refers to his letter of March 22nd, 1892. He expresses regret at not having had the Rent Roll balanced, and as regards the fact that ALVES habitually received

976 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

Government moneys which ought to have been received only by the shroff, he says that he was not aware of the circumstance, and that if he had noticed it, it would probably have occurred to him that ALVES was receiving the moneys on his personal account from private debtors of his own. He adds that the work of the Treasurer is heavy, that it is increased by frequent references from the Colonial Secretary's Office on financial matters, and that Mr. MAY found his work as Acting Treasurer much more arduous than he finds his present work as Acting Captain Superintendent of Police.

 13. Dealing with his two replies and his separate statement together, I have to remark that looking to the amount of ALVES' misappropriations, and to the reasonable presumption that he misappropriated only a small fraction of the total moneys that reached his hands, it is clear that Government moneys were impro- perly received by him habitually, and the observation by the Commission that the Treasurer, if he had exercised proper supervision, would have been cognizant of the practice, is a reasonable one. Mr. MITCHELL-INNES' rejoinder that if he had noticed it, he "might well have imagined that it was a private payment from some of the tenants of his own houses," argues a somewhat strange conception of his duties, for it implies that he would, in the event supposed, have been content to allow his subordinate to transact his private money affairs in the Treasury and during Office hours. It is almost superfluous to add that the most casual investi- gation would have shewn him that the moneys in question were not private, but Government moneys.

 14. As regards the amount of the Treasurer's work, it is not quite clear whether Mr. MITCHELL-INNES is referring to what he now does, or to what he did before the defalcations were discovered. But assuming that he refers to what he is now doing, which includes the signing of all receipts (vide his evidence before the Commission, pages 5 and 52), it is not, in my opinion, more than could easily be performed by an experienced Treasurer considerably within the limits of the official working day. The references from the Colonial Secretary's Office, which he mentions, need certainly not occupy more than a few minutes of his time daily on the average, and looking to the smallness of the Treasury transactions here as compared with those of some other Colonies, and to the simplicity of the Cash Book, I have reason to believe that, if his work were continuous, the Treasurer could exercise all necessary supervision and perform the whole of his daily work in the Treasury, including the signing of all receipts, within three hours per diem on the average. As his work is not continuous, he would, of course, have to be in the Treasury for a considerably longer time daily, and his surprise visits to other departments, his work in connection with the Executive Council, and his attend- ances in the Legislative Council, would give him occupation in addition to what I have described as his daily work in the Treasury. The circumstances under which Mr. MAY found the work of the Treasury so arduous are described above in paragraph 8.

It may be convenient here to observe that Mr. MITCHELL-INNES appears to entertain incorrect notions as to the length of time required for properly dealing with books. On page 54 of the Evidence, attached to the Report of the Commission, he states that "Mr. NICOLLE and an ordinary Portuguese clerk took three weeks to do it" (i.e., to balance a certain Rent Roll), "and they did nothing else, and I believe Mr. NICOLLE is pretty quick at this sort of thing." As a matter of fact Mr. NICOLLE had nothing whatever to do with the balancing of the Rent Roll, and estimates that he could do it unassisted in 10 or 12 days. This, however, is merely by the way, as it is not necessary that such work should devolve on the Treasurer, perfect security against fraud being obtainable by the Treasurer's sign- ing every receipt himself after personally satisfying himself that the corresponding amount has been duly entered in the collection book, and seeing on the following morning that the totals of the daily collection books have been duly entered in the Cash Book, and that the total of the Cash Book corresponds with the total amount credited to the account of Government by the bank.

15. Coming now to Mr. MITCHELL-INNES' pleas in explanation or justifica- tion of the neglect of duty which rendered possible the misappropriations committed while he was in charge of the Treasury, I feel that I need say nothing in regard to his failure to have the Rent Roll balanced, for in that particular he admits his fault and expresses regret for it. But on his general contention that it was no part of his duty to check receipts, or to take any steps to secure the placing to the credit of Government of all Government moneys that reached his Office, it is my duty to make a few observations.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

977

16. It is so obviously the duty of every Treasurer to take some steps to prevent Government moneys being stolen in his Office that I should not have thought it possible for any Officer appointed to such a post to imagine that he was free from all responsibility in that respect. The raison d'etre of the establishment of the post of Treasurer in Hongkong as a separate and substantive appointment, and of strengthening the subordinate Staff of the Treasury, as described above in paragraph No. 7, was in order that the late system, which had previously obtained when the post of Treasurer was held as an adjunct office in conjunction with another appointment, might be superseded, and that the Government might have the security of its interests being safeguarded by an officer whose whole time would be available for the purpose. That Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, who was inexpe- rienced in Treasury work, should have failed to introduce all the reforms that were required in the Office might well admit of excuse; but that he should have been content to take no precautions, and that he should have considered, as he himself states, that it was no part of his duty to take any, affords ground for legitimate complaint.

On page 7 of the Evidence he states: "the system itself was supposed to be a check."

But the slightest investigation would have sufficed to show him that a system which allowed receipts to be signed by the clerk who made them out, a practice which he personally confirmed in writing when it was brought to his notice (vide page 52 of the Evidence), was fraught with danger. And a little consideration would have made him alive to the fact that if such a system were subjected to the strain of the same clerk's also receiving Government money, it would then become perilous in the extreme.

17. In his defence he appeals to his letter above mentioned of the 22nd March 1892, and he points out with truth that he there distinctly stated that he could not possibly, with his existing Staff, do all the work of a thorough Audit of his own books, and that if he were required to do such work, which though it was imposed on him by the Financial Instructions, he contended that the Secretary of State had not intended that he should undertake, he would require an addition to his Staff. This would be a fair defence if he were charged with not having performed such work; but as has already been shewn, this is not the case. If he had done what he is doing now, that is, if he had signed all receipts himself and taken the other precautions mentioned at the end of the last paragraph but one, he would effectually have rendered defalcation impossible without necessitating any addition to his Staff. On the whole I deeply regret that, with every desire to take the most favourable view of his case, I am unable to acquit him of blame.

18. As stated in the Colonial Secretary's letter of 11th instant, it became my duty, after reading the Report of the Commission and the Evidence taken by them, to consider whether it was necessary in the public interest to interdict Mr. MITCHELL-INNES from the discharge of his duties as Treasurer. I decided that it was not necessary. He has had a sharp lesson, the Rent Rolls have now been balanced up to the end of 1892, and he is now exercising a proper supervision over his department and signing all receipts himself; and this being so, I did not consider that there was any such risk of further misappropriations as to necessitate his interdiction from duty during the time that must elapse before the settlement of his case. In the next place, I had to consider whether it was my duty to take steps under the Colonial Regulations with a view to his suspension from office. On that point I decided that it was not, but that it would be sufficient to lay the case fully before Your Lordship for your decision as to what course should be

taken.

19. My reason for arriving at this conclusion was as follows:-On the one hand it is unfortunately beyond question that up to the time of the discovery of the defalcations he neglected to take ordinary precautions for the safeguarding of the Government moneys that reached his Office, and that the result of his neglect has been that a large sum of public money has been misappropriated. On the other hand it should be remembered that when he was appointed Treasurer he had had no previous experience of Treasury work; that the dangerous system of allowing the clerk who was in charge of the Rent Roll and prepared the receipts for payments of rent to sign the receipts (which largely contributed to the facilitation of the frauds) was established by his predecessor; and that he was burdened with an in- competent Staff whom he was reluctant, out of deference for their standing and length of service, to report to Government. In view of all the circumstances, includ- ing his letter of March 22nd, 1892, his case should in fairness be judged not by the

978 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

light of the obligations cast upon him by Financial Instruction No. 2, but by the light of the ordinary obligations that devolve ipso facto on a Treasurer, by reason of the nature of his office, in the absence of any special instructions. It should also, in my opinion, be judged on the basis of his having honestly, though mistakenly, entertained the view that he was not responsible for the safeguarding of Government moneys in his Office. Further it should be borne in mind that there has never been the faintest question of his personal integrity; and it is also to his credit that as soon as the defalcations had been discovered and he realised the result of his not exercising supervision over his department, he set vigorously to work and has since then done all in his power to repair his previous omission. Under these circumstances I consider that it would be harsh to ruin him by dismissal, and I shall be very glad if Your Lordship concurs in that opinion. As regards enforcing his pecuniary responsibility for the sum misappropriated during his tenure of office, that would involve a punishment little short of ruin. The amount is large, and his salary is small, unduly small, I may say, for an officer in his position, and for obvious reasons it is especially undesirable that a Treasurer should be crippled with debt and under heavy obligations to others for pecuniary assistance. On the whole, I would venture to suggest that if Your Lordship concurs in the view which I have taken, the best solution of the case would be to remit his pecuniary responsibility, and if possible, should the case appear to Your Lordship to warrant so severe a punishment, to provide him with suitable employ- ment elsewhere.

 20. In addition to the points I have already dealt with, the Commission refer in their Report to the Local Auditor and Mr. CARVALHO, the late Chief Clerk, as being to blame in connection with the defalcations, and they have been good enough to make certain suggestions with a view to preventing the recurrence of frauds in the Treasury. As the Local Auditor is not a servant of this Govern- ment, and as his case is in the hands of the head of his department, I have not thought it proper to call on him for any explanation, though I consider he is greatly to blame for not having reported to the Officer then administering the Government that he could not obtain the Rent Roll of 1890 from the Treasury with a view to its being balanced. As regards Mr. CARVALHO, I hardly think that there are sufficient grounds to warrant the reduction of the pension that was recently assigned to him on his retirement. In regard to the steps that should be taken to prevent the recurrence of frauds, I propose to address Your Lordship in a separate despatch. In the meanwhile, I may mention that I have provisionally instructed the Treasurer to post up notices in conspicuous places in the Treasury warning the public that money is to be paid to the Shroff's only, and that no receipt for money paid in is valid, unless it bears the signature of the Treasurer (or, in his absence, that of the Chief Clerk) and the stamp of the shroff; to sign every receipt himself except such as may be urgently required during his absence on duty from the Treasury, in which case the receipts may be signed by the Chief Clerk; to make it his first duty, on returning to the Treasury from absence on duty elsewhere, to examine the counterfoils of all receipts issued during his absence, and satisfy himself that the corresponding amounts have been duly entered in the appropriate daily collection books; to habitually take the precautions described at the end of the 14th paragraph of this despatch; and finally to give effect to the recommendations of the Commission with regard to the form of the Rent Roll and Assessed Taxes Roll, and the keeping of his books.

I have the honour to be,

POLICE DEPARTMENT, CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 20th April, 1893.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your confidential letter of the 11th instant forwarding, for my information, a copy of the Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the recently discovered defalcations in the Treasury, and calling upon me to shew cause why I should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the amounts misappropriated during my acting tenure of the office of Treasurer.

I find that the Commissioners state that they consider that I indirectly allowed the frauds to be committed because I did not carry out Mr. NICOLLE'S requirement as to the balancing of the book. By the book is meant the Rent Roll of 1890, and the Commissioners state that they think I was mistaken in saying in iny evidence that Mr. NICOLLE referred to the Rent Roll of 1891 when he drew my attention to the delay in balancing a Rent Roll.

I can only repeat that I understood the Local Auditor to refer to the 1891 Rent Roll.

I did my best to get ALVES to balance that book, and as I found on enquiry that the Rent Roll of a previous year had never been balanced till the very end, at the earliest, of the subsequent year, I thought that the delay, though extremely undesirable, was not of an extraordinarily serious nature.

980

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

 Mr. NICOLLE appears to be as positive that he referred to the 1890 book as I am that he referred to the book of 1891. It is unfortunate that nothing passed between us on the subject in writing, and all I can say is that had I been aware that the 1890 book had not been balanced I should have used every endeavour to have such arrear wiped off.

 It was, I submit, only natural that on taking over charge in March 1892, I took if for granted that the books prior to 1891 had all been closed.

SIR,

 I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 20th instant, and to point out that it affords no reply to my letter of 11th instant calling on you to shew cause why you should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the amount of Government money misappropriated in the Treasury during your tenure of office as acting Treasurer.

 Your letter under acknowledgment explains why you did not get a certain book balanced which, if balanced, would have revealed defalcations committed prior to your taking charge of the Treasury, but it is silent as to the defalcations which occurred while you were in charge.

 It is the primary duty of a Treasurer to see that Government moneys which reach the Treasury are all duly credited to Government, and not stolen in his Office, and I am accordingly to request you to explain why you failed in this duty, and what steps you took with a view to discharging it.

His Excellency desires that your answer to this letter may be returned with such despatch as may be compatible with your careful consideration of the matter. I have the honour to be,

HONGKONG, 22nd April, 1893.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st instant and to point out to you that in my letter of the 20th instant I advanced the reason for which I consider that I should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the only neglect of which the Commission of Experts appointed by the Governor to inquire into, and advise him as to, the Treasury Defalcations have pronounced me guilty.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 981

In your letter under acknowledgment you state as your opinion that it was my primary duty as Treasurer "to see that Government moneys which reached the Treasury were all duly credited to Government and not stolen in my Office," and you request me to explain why I failed in this duty and what steps I took with a view to discharging it.

In reply I beg to state that I did fulfil my duty as Treasurer in seeing that the amounts which reached the Treasury were credited to Government, and in support of my statement I beg to remind you that the payments on behalf of Crown rent which reached the Cashier were correctly entered in the collection books of both ALVES and the responsible shroff and were duly paid into the Bank, a fact of which I satisfied myself by comparing the monthly collectors account with the Bank receipts.

It is true that a comparison of each counterfoil receipt made by ALVES with the Rent Roll would have shewn discrepancies; but I did not, when at the Treasury, and do not now consider that in view of the Treasurer's letter of 22nd March, 1892, such detailed comparison could fairly be considered as part of my duties.

The sums stolen by ALVES never reached the Treasury. They were impro- perly paid by the Public to him personally in his private room without my know- ledge, and I fail to see how they can be said to have reached the Treasury or how I can be held responsible for them any more than if they had been paid to ALVES at his private residence.

(Mr. H. E. Wodehouse to Colonial Secretary.)

HONGKONG, 20th April, 1893.

SIR.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your confidential letter of the 11th instant, and to make the following observations on the report of the Commission appointed to enquire into various matters connected with the defalca- tions by ALVES.

2. I desire to respectfully submit that the observations of the Commission, so far as they relate to me, are not fair, and that they are not supported by the evidence.

3. In the first place, I am extremely doubtful whether in my time it was the duty of the Treasury to balance the Rent Roll other than by adding it up and totalling it, and my strong recollection is that this duty devolved upon the Audit Office and not upon the Treasury.

4. I took over the Treasury as an acting appointment from Mr. LISTER who for many years had held the permanent post, and who was a businesslike and a painstaking officer and thoroughly acquainted with the duties of the office. In explaining the duties to me he never once mentioned the matter of balancing the books as a part of those duties. Mr. CARVALHO, the permanent chief subordinate officer of the department, who gave me every assistance in mastering the details of the Office never alluded to this duty. He says himself, in his evidence, that it was the duty of the Auditor to balance the Rent Roll, and my recollection of what went on in my time is entirely confirmatory of this statement.

5. Moreover, had it been the Treasurer's duty to carry out this work, Mr. LISTER on his return would have seen that it had not been done and would have ? rectified the omission, and when I again resumed the office six months later would

have drawn my attention to the matter.

>

982

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

6. Nothing of the kind, however, occurred. I expressly asked him if he was satisfied with the way in which the Office had been conducted in his absence, and he stated that he was, and did not make a single suggestion of alteration in any respect.

7. It is significant again as corroboratory of this impression, that the only signatures to the balancing of the Rent Roll are those of the Auditor General and his assistant, and that the signature of the Treasurer does not appear.

8. In other years prior to 1887 the signature of the Treasurer appears at the end of the Rent Roll undated, and in another part of the page is the signature of the Auditor General or his Assistant dated with the words "Examined and found correct." The figures are in the handwriting of ALVES, and the inference I shall draw from this would be that while the Treasury prepared the books for examina- tion it was the Audit Office that did the balancing, and in fact that such examina- tion was the balancing.

 9. Even the Commission do not distinguish the two when bringing their charges of neglect against the Treasurer. They refer to the late dates at which the Treasurer balanced the Rent Rolls and give various dates in different years as illustrating the delay. But the dates which they give are the dates of the Audit examination and not of Treasury balancing which may have been done at any time previous to the examination, and if there was a separate balancing by the Treasurer, they show only the delay in the Audit Office, as there are no dates to show when the Treasury balance was made.

 10. Moreover, as bearing out what I say about the balancing, it is very signi- ficant that the Treasury Ledger was posted by the Audit Office in a building remote from the Treasury, and a copy only of it kept in the Treasury, seeming to point to the idea that it was desired not to leave in the hands of the Treasury the mani- pulation of its own books, but to obtain an independent check such as would be afforded by an examination of the results arrived at by a Rent Roll addition on the part of the Treasury and a Ledger addition on the part of the Audit Office.

11. This is conjecture only and in the absence of a detailed enquiry, I am unable at this distance of time to make a positive assertion; but I think I have a right to complain that without making any enquiry into the system in force in my time, without any knowledge as to how the frauds were committed, and without any reference to the Rent Rolls which are both missing, the Commission should commit themselves to a definite accusation of this kind in a report which purports to be the outcome of a full and complete enquiry, nor do I think it is fair to em- phasize that neglect by referring to instructions which did not come into force until after I had ceased to be Treasurer. They even, moreover, throw in the year 1887, the Rent Roll of which it is proved was balanced and found correct, and which cannot therefore have assisted the frauds.

 12. Without therefore denying that I may have been negligent in respect of the years mentioned, I must decline in the existing state of the evidence to accept the charge, and I think that His Excellency the Governor will agree with me that before it can be endorsed I am entitled to a further enquiry.

 13. Then, again, assuming for the moment that I have been negligent with respect to the Rent Rolls of 1887, 1888 and 1889, I submit that it is not reason- able to single me out as responsible for the non-balancing of the Rent Roll for the years 1887, 1888 and 1889 when by the practice prevailing for years past, such balancing would have fallen to my successors and not to me.

 14. I commenced to be Treasurer in the middle of June 1888, and ceased to be Treasurer in the middle of January 1890, and therefore by the standard set up by the Commission neither the balancing of 1887 nor that of 1889 would have fallen to me, and setting this aside generally the duty being a continuing duty if not done by me would fall with cumulative obligation on my successors who nevertheless are not mentioned in connection with these years. I should cer- tainly have thought that before the balancing of a later year was taken in hand that of a previous year would be first taken in hand, and in fact that the arrears should be brought up to time.

 15. The Commission, however, appear to deal with each year as a complete cycle, and if one year was not completed to pass on to the next and ascertain whether that was completed. In this way I am made to be responsible for three years, while the other Treasurers who succeeded me are only made responsible for

one year,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 983

16. In paragraph 29 of their Report the Commission say that the defalcations commenced in my time and might have been detected by some vigilance on my part.

17. I have the honour to enquire how it is known that the defalcations coin- menced in my time. I have looked through the Evidence, and so far as I can see the whole of the defalcations put down to 1888 and 1889 may, for all that is shown. to the contrary, have taken place in the first half of 1888 when I was not Treasurer, and under any circumstances I should think that it is very improbable that all the defalcations, that occurred in 1888, occurred in the last six months only of that

year.

18. How, moreover, can it be asserted that with some vigilance I might have detected them. It is not even known in what way they were committed, and Mr. NICOLLE himself says that if they were done in the way that he suggests as most likely by the issue of false receipts, neither the Treasury nor the Audit Office could have detected them until the books came to be examined.

19. It must be remembered that I was a temporary officer with other duties that kept me away from the Treasury during the greater part of the day, and if therefore the frauds going on continuously for five years have eluded the vigilance of the Audit Office, the sole raison d'etre of whose existence is the prevention of such occurrences, and have also eluded the observations of my successors who no longer labour under the disadvantage of combining Treasury work with other duties, I fail to see on what grounds the Commission assert that I might have detected them with some vigilance.

20. Where I do see that they might rightly have made remark is on Mr. FREIRE'S evidence.

21. In the absence of the Rent Rolls and Counterfoil books and other records it is difficult to hazard any opinion, but I must say that I think_great_weight attaches to Mr. FREIRE'S admissions that he did not examine the Rent Roll for 1888 nor that for 1889, that it was his duty to have done so, and that he made no complaint to me as to any difficulty he encountered in obtaining the books. In these admissions appears to me to be contained the key to the whole situation, and had he either made the examinations as he reports was his duty or reported his inability to do so, if unable to obtain the books, I do not see why these frauds should not have been discovered at an earlier date. It is impossible now to round upon the Treasury and to say that he did not report that the books were not written up because he thought that the Treasurer knew of it. Such explanations, I submit, are no longer admissible so far as they bear on the proper share of blame to be attached to particular individuals, and the time for making them has passed, and I submit that the Commission would have been more just in making particular note of this evidence than in passing it over without comment and asserting only that I could have discovered the frauds by the exercise of some vigilance.

22. It must be remembered, finally, in this connection that every month was submitted to the Audit Office the Collector's account showing the whole of the Treasury receipts and disbursements, and that these were continuously audited and were invariably signed "examined and found correct" together with the date of examinations.

23. Considering therefore that in those days the Treasurer was for the most part an absentee Officer, that his Officers were tried and valued servants, that there were no a priori grounds for suspecting dishonesty, and that there was no departmental machinery for the purpose of checking frauds other than what the system in force supplied, I do not think that it is surprising that their commission escaped detection, especially when it was not the duty of the Treasurer then, as it has been since, to provide his own checks independently of the Audit.

24. In the absence therefore of the books, and in the want of direct evidence to show in what way the frauds were committed and in the light of the failure of every one else to detect them, including Mr. LISTER, I submit that there is no sufficient ground for alleging that with some vigilance I could have detected them.

25. With regard to the other allegations made by the Commission regarding > me, I do not admit, as stated in paragraph 27, that balancing the books is the only check. I should say that its value as a check depended upon circumstances, and

984 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

that if done by the clerk who is desirous of defrauding, as would have been the case in the instance of the Rent Roll, its value would be rather problematical. To make it of value it ought to be accompanied with an independent examination, and as such only do I consider that it would be valuable as a check.

 26. I entirely deny that I did not furnish the Audit with the necessary books, and I certainly furnished them with all that they required. I do not admit that I did not see that no arrears of rent were being allowed to accumulate, and I state in my evidence that I constantly examined the books for the special purpose of guarding against this contingency. Further, I did not accept ALVES's excuse that he had too much work, and I expressly state in my evidence, that I had no recollection of his making such excuse; and lastly, I did not repose unlimited con- fidence in ALVES, whom nevertheless I knew to be an old and valued servant of the Government of unblemished repute and tried integrity.

 27. I have now, I think, gone over the whole of the ground traversed by the Commission in their report so far as it affects myself, and I have the honour to submit that the lines upon which the enquiry has been conceived and carried out, and the loose fragmentary character of the evidence, afford no proper basis upon which either to formulate charges of neglect or to deduce from them pecuniary responsibility. In many respects the findings of the Commission are actually opposed to the evidence and where they are not so the evidence is too inconclusive. to justify their endorsement. In the present stage of the proceedings, therefore, I disclaim any blame for what has occurred and I desire further enquiry before judgment is given.

 28. I have the honour to request that my letter may be published concurrently with the report of the Commission, and I desire to thank His Excellency the Governor for the opportunity which he has given me of meeting their charges.

Your most obedient Servant.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 24th April, 1893.

SIR,

 I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 20th instant (received on the afternoon of 21st instant) and to point out that, except in so far as it urges that while you were in temporary charge of the Treasury the greater part of your time was occupied in the duties of your other and substantive appointment, it affords no reply to my letter of 11th instant calling on you to show cause why you should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the amount of Government money misap- propriated in the Treasury during your tenures of office as Acting Treasurer.

 2. In your letter under acknowledgment you point out the difficulty of stating with precision, in the absence of certain books, the exact amounts misappropriated during each of the broken portions of the years in which you acted as Treasurer; and you also argue at length the unfairness of a finding of the Commission in regard to your not having had a certain book balanced. For the reasons stated in the next paragraph the Governor does not think it necessary at present to enter into a discussion of these points.

 3. The question whether you should be held pecuniarily responsible for the amount of certain defalcations, or relieved of such responsibility, is quite distinct from the precise ascertainment of that amount; neither does it in any way depend on any finding of the Commission other than that which establishes the fact that Government money was misappropriated in the Treasury while you were acting as Treasurer.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 985

4. The obvious and primary duty of a Treasurer is to see that all Government moneys which reach the Treasury are duly credited to Government, and not stolen in his Office; and the fact of Government moneys having been stolen in the Trea- sury while you were in charge of it having been established beyond room for question, it remains for you to explain why you failed in this primary duty, and what steps you took with a view to discharging it.

5. His Excellency desires that your answer to this letter may be returned with such despatch as may be compatible with your careful consideration of the

matter.

HONGKONG, 24th April, 1893.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your confidential letter of the 24th instant, and to report that in writing my letter of the 20th instant, I was under the impression that I had dealt fully with the question put before me in your previous letter.

Admitting for the moment that the abstract question of my pecuniary respon- sibility for defalcations occurring in my time is answered against me, I have the honour to enquire on what evidence the Government relies as establishing beyond question that moneys were stolen from the Treasury while I was in charge, and what amounts it is considered were so stolen.

I ask this not for the purpose of evading the question of my pecuniary responsibility but for the purpose of meeting it. 1 should also like to know in what way it is considered that the frauds were committed.

If the mere fact of being head of the Department at the time when the frauds were committed entails pecuniary responsibility to the amount of such frauds, I can only admit that I was Treasurer from June 1888 to January 1890, and for the last few months of 1890. If, however, I can be relieved of such responsibility by showing that I exercised the ordinary prudence that could be expected from one in my position, it is material that I should know how the frauds are considered to have been committed.

Sir.

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter-Confidential of 11th instant-transmitting a copy of the Report of the Treasury Commission, and call- ing upon me to shew cause why I should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the amounts shewn to have been misappropriated during my tenure of the office of Treasurer.

986

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

2. I find that the Commission appointed for the purpose, inter alia, of report- ing to what extent, if any, I was to blame with regard to the Treasury defalcations, consider that I am to blame for not having had the 1890 Rent Roll promptly balanced.

3. While deeply regretting that my failure to appreciate, on taking up office, the importance of having my predecessor's Rent Roll promptly balanced should have resulted in unduly delaying the discovery of the existence of defalcations, I would beg to call attention to the fact that 1891 was a very busy year, there being constant meetings of Executive and Legislative Council, that my time was much taken up with the transfer of the Opium Farm and the framing of new Opium Ordinances, that every item of Treasury work was a complete novelty to me, that when the Local Auditor drew my attention to the fact that the 1890 Rent Roll had not been balanced I endeavoured to get it made up, but that, as I did not understand that he was unable to audit the accounts properly without it. (as a matter of fact the correctness of the 1890 accounts was certified to by the Comptroller and Auditor General last year), I did not insist in the face of ALVES' plea of overwork, on its being at once balanced, that, to the best of my belief, no further reference was made to the matter up to the time of my going on leave when the balancing was 15 months in arrear (which, as shewn in the Report of the Commission, was no extraordinary thing in the annals of the Treasury), and that locum tenens is positive that the fact of its not being balanced was not brought to his notice while acting for me, though the fact of the 1891 Roll not being balanced was.

Enclosure No. 3.

(Colonial Secretary to Mr. N. G. Mitchell-Innes.)

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 11th April, 1893.

 I am directed to inform you that the Governor has perused the Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the Treasury defalcations, copy of which has been forwarded to you with my letter of even date, with extreme regret.

 2. From the Report and the Evidence attached to it, His Excellency is unable to avoid the conclusion that you have continuously neglected the duties of your office. Quite irrespective of any obligations cast upon you by the Financial Instructions, it was your elementary duty as Treasurer not only to see that the revenue was promptly collected, but to see that when it reached your Office it was all immediately placed to the credit of the Government. This is, in fact, the primary duty of all Treasurers, and it was obviously the primary duty of the office to which you were appointed at the beginning of 1891, and for which you have since been drawing your salary. But the Governor, to his great surprise and regret, learns from the Report of the Commission, and the Evidence recorded by them, that so far as at present appears neither by checking your books, nor in any other way that could be discovered by the Commission, have you taken any steps to fulfil your duty of ensuring that the revenue which reached your Office was all placed to the credit of the Government. His Excellency further learns that the result of this neglect of duty on your part has been that misappropriations of public moneys in the Treasury, which commenced before you assumed charge, remained undetected for

years, and continued on a large scale during your tenure of office.

 3. In these circumstances it has been His Excellency's painful duty to consider whether it was necessary in the public interest to interdict you from office pending the enquiry into and settlement of your case. His Excellency has decided that it is not necessary.

In view of the books having now been brought up to date, and

of other circumstances, His Excellency is satisfied that there is no such risk of further misappropriations of public moneys in the Treasury, during the time that will be required for enquiring into and settling your case, as to necessitate your interdiction from office.

4. The Governor has next considered whether steps should be taken under the Colonial Regulations with a view to your suspension from office. On this point His Excellency has decided to lay the matter before the Secretary of State, and I am to request you to be so good as to furnish me at your early convenience with any explanation or statement that you may wish to be considered by the Secretary of State. The nature and bearing of the case, so far as it affects sufficiently indicated in the Report of the Commission, and the Evidence attached to it, and the second paragraph of this letter; but I may briefly summarise them by stating that what requires explanation on your part is your failure to discharge the ordinary and primary duty of your office as Treasurer in taking steps to secure the immediate placing to the credit of the Government of all the Govern- ment moneys that reached your Office.

TREASURY, 22nd April, 1893.

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter-Confidential of 11th instant-stating that His Excellency learns from the Report of the Commission on the Treasury and the Evidence recorded by them that, owing to neglect of duty on my part in not ensuring that the revenue which reached my Office was all placed to credit of Government, misappropriation of public moneys in the Treasury continued on a large scale during my tenure of office.

2. All moneys shewn in the daily collection book as received for Crown rent have, as a matter of fact, been placed to credit of Government, and the only means (other than the balancing of the Rent Roll) by which I could (as now appears) have discovered that these moneys did not represent the full amount actually paid in, was by checking each receipt into the Rent Roll. Apart from the fact that such checking of receipts has always been regarded as the duty of the Auditor and not of the Treasurer, reference to my letter No. 12 of 22nd March, 1892, (C. S. O. 728/92) will shew that more than a year ago I clearly stated what work the Treasury was actually performing, and pointed out that the systematic checking of receipts could not be properly performed by the Treasury with the existing Staff. To that position no exception has, so far as I am aware, been since taken.

3. I am therefore unable to concur in the statement that the misappropriation of public funds has been due to neglect on my part in this particular, nor, I may observe, has the Commission reported that such is the case except as connected with the non-balancing of the 1890 Rent Roll.

4. For my failure to appreciate on taking up office the necessity of having my predecessor's Rent Roll promptly balanced, and for the deplorable results of such failure, I beg to express again to His Excellency, as I have expressed before, my most sincere regret.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

N. G. MITCHELL-INNES, Treasurer.

Statement of the Treasurer (N. G. Mitchell-Innes) with reference to the Report of the Treasury Commission.

22nd April, 1893.

 On taking over the Treasury at the beginning of 1891, I found the Depart- ment in a state of perplexity as to its duties. In former years the Treasury had collected revenue and disbursed expenditure, looking to the Audit Office for the detection of errors on both sides. In charge of the various collections were trusted clerks of from 24 to 35 years' service to whom any change in the recognised practice was, naturally, distasteful, and to whom therefore it was in vain for the new Treasurer to look for assistance in introducing new methods.

 2. Much difficulty was experienced by me in my endeavours to ascertain to what extent it was intended that the existing system should be modified.

3. In advocating the introduction of a home Audit the Secretary of State had drawn attention to the fact that the Colony would thereby be relieved of all audit work and would have the advantage of having in its midst a trained Auditor devoting his entire time to the checking of receipts.

4. At the same time the new Financial Instructions appeared to lay it down. as an axiom that the Treasurer was to place no reliance on the Auditor, but to maintain his own checks and examination as though no such officer existed.

5. In my letter No. 12 of 22nd March, 1892, I clearly pointed out the difficulty in which I found myself. I stated that without an increased Staff it was impossible for me to maintain an efficient check on revenue, and I explained that the practice existing in the Treasury was to check expenditure and conduct occasional surprise visits to other departments, but to look to the Local Auditor to check revenue.

6. This explanation was, I believe, sent to the Secretary of State, as I was, while on leave, questioned on the subject. The reply I then gave was that, in view of the work actually being performed by the Local Auditor, I considered the practice I had described as existing as sufficient for practical purposes. As I have heard nothing further on the subject, I have understood that my views were agreed in,

7. I am still prepared to maintain that they were correct, the recent defalca- tions having been rendered practicable only by the examination of counterfoils by the Auditor having been a "test" instead of a perfect one, and their continuance having been permitted by the failure of successive Treasurers to promptly submit the Crown Rent Rolls for audit.

3

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 989

8. It is for this failure as regarded the 1890 Rent Roll that the Commission. has found me to blame.

9. His Excellency is already aware that, regarding the arrear as I unfortu- nately did, as of a clerical nature only, I allowed myself to be imposed upon by ALVES' plea of overwork, and did not insist, as I should have done, on the book being promptly balanced and submitted for audit. I have elsewhere expressed my deep regret that, by my failure to appreciate the importance of this necessary check, the discovery of the existence of defalcations was unduly delayed.

10 As regards the receipt of Crown Rents by ALVES (the other point on which the Commission consider me to blame) I still maintain that it was perfectly possible for him to take payment repeatedly without my detecting it. Oc- cupying a room by himself as he did, he was only occasionally under my observation, and, even had I detected him in the act of receiving money, I might well have imagined that it was a private payment from some of the tenants of his own houses.

11. With reference to my letter of 22nd March, 1892, it might perhaps have been urged that, as the Treasurer has now only Treasury duties to attend to, he ought to have sufficient time at his disposal to enable him to check revenue, at any rate to a considerable extent, irrespective of whether the same work is being also performed by the Local Auditor or not.

12. I am unable to say with what expenditure of time over their duties former Treasurers were satisfied, but, (apart altogether from the question of the utility of performing the same work twice over) I can unhesitatingly assert that, now that the requirements of Somerset House have to be complied with, and that, owing to the withdrawal of the Audit Office and subsequently the Reference Clerk from the Colonial Secretary's Office, every document connected in any way with finance is now sent to the Treasurer for his consideration, I find, so far, that the work proper of the Treasurer takes longer than that of the Superintendent of the Gaol, the Police Magistrate, or the Registrar General (as all of which I have served,) while my late locum tenens assures me that he found it much more arduous than that of the post he at present occupies-Captain Superintendent of Police.

N. G. MITCHELL-INNES,

HONG KONG.

(Secretary of State to Governor.)

Treasurer.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET, 26 July, 1893.

I have given very careful consideration to your Confidential despatch of the 26th of April last reporting upon the serious defalcations which have occurred in the Hong Kong Treasury, and enclosing copies of the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the matter, and of correspondence with Public Officers arising out of that Report.

2. It appears from these papers that ALVES, the late first Clerk in the Trea- sury, embezzled in the course of the five years, 1888 to 1892, nearly $63,000 of public money, and the circumstances which enabled him to do this are very clearly explained by the Commissioners, to whom the Colonial Government is indebted for a very careful and clear Report. I concur in their conclusions as to the persons who, by neglect or omission of duty, allowed the frauds to be committed. Omitting the names of minor delinquents, the officers chiefly to blame were:-

(i) The late Mr. LISTER, for authorizing ALVES to sign receipts, for engaging a Shroff, who could not read English, and for failing to cause the Rent Roll to be made up at the proper time, although this omission was brought to his notice by an Audit clerk.

990

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893.

(ii) Mr. WODEHOUSE, Sometime Acting Treasurer, for neglect in not causing the Rent Rolls of 1887, 1888 and 1889 to be made up at the proper time.

(iii) Mr. MAY, who acted for a short time as Treasurer, for similar neglect,

to which his attention was drawn by the Auditor, Mr. NICOLLE. (iv) Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, for not causing the Rent Rolls to be made up although his attention was similarly called to the matter by Mr. NICOLLE; for failing to make himself acquainted with the manner in which public business was being conducted in his Department, and for misreading and not enforcing the Instructions laid down for the conduct of business in his Office.

(v) Mr. NICOLLE, for not reporting in writing to the Government the neglect of duty on the part of the Treasurer and Acting Treasurer, which prevented him from duly discharging his duties as Auditor. 3. The officer to whom the heaviest amount of blame must be attributed is unquestionably Mr. MITCHELL-INNES; and I regret to observe that he has not improved his position by the tone and temper of his defence. He, no doubt, mis- apprehended the relative duties of a Treasurer and an Auditor; but in considering the weight to be attached to this excuse, it must be borne in mind that, upon his appointment as Treasurer, he received special instruction as to the responsibilities and duties of his office, namely those conveyed in my predecessor's despatch No. 194 of the 11th of September, 1890; and also that in the same year Financial Instructions for Hong Kong were drawn up, which, if they had been followed with even ordinary intelligence, would have prevented the later defalcations, or at least have led to their earlier detection. Although Mr. MITCHELL-INNES had, prior to being appointed Treasurer, no special financial experience, an officer of his standing and experience must be taken to have been well aware that it is a Treasurer's duty to close and balance his books at the end of the year, and that it is the duty of every head of a department to be thoroughly acquainted with the manner in which the business of his Office is conducted, and to satisfy himself by constant personal investigation that his.Staff conform in all respects to the rules and regulations. Further, it might have been expected that a gentleman who after a comparatively short service had been promoted to a new and important position, would have sought to justify the exceptional confidence reposed in him by setting himself to master and improve the administration of his Department, instead of acquiescing in arrangements made by his predecessors, which, as it happens, have proved to be defective, and assuming that those arrangements were being faithfully observed by his staff.

 5. As to the action to be taken in the case, I have to observe that whilst I consider that it would be harsh to require Mr. MITCHELL-INNES to make good to the Colonial Government the full amount of the defalcation which occurred during his control of the Treasury, I must mark my sense of his shortcomings, by direct- ing that, as a condition of his remaining in the public service, he be required to pay into the Colonial Treasury a fine of $1,000 which may, if he prefers it, be paid in such instalments as you may think reasonable. It will also be your duty to convey to him a severe censure from me on his shortcomings in the conduct of his Department and his neglect to comply with the requirements of the Auditor.

6. Further, as he has not justified his selection for the headship of a depart- ment in Hong Kong, it will be necessary for me to arrange, if possible, for his transfer to another Colony. But such transfer will not mean a promotion, but I trust that elsewhere and in the discharge of different duties he will gain the con- fidence of the Government under which he serves, and thus possibly build up a claim to promotion hereafter.

7. Mr. WODEHOUSE and Mr. MAY must also be censured, but less severely for their respective shares in the responsibility for what happened. I am glad, how- ever, to add that I regard the blame which attaches to Mr. MAY as comparatively slight, and I recognise that he showed zeal and capacity in other respects during his short tenure of the office of Treasurer.

8. As regards Mr. NICOLLE's share in the matter, I shall not anticipate the judgment of the Comptroller and Auditor General. It must, however, be recog- nised that his position was a difficult one, and that as a new comer to the Colony, called upon to introduce and carry out a system to which there was strong local hostility, it was intelligible that he should have shrunk from what might seem to others a needlessly rigid interpretation of his duties; and, after all, it was to him that the discovery of the frauds was ultimately due.

Governor

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1893. 991

9. I presume that ALVES' security bond has been enforced so as to recover a portion of the amount embezzled by him, and I take the opportunity of asking whether this course was actually taken in the BARRADAS case, in accordance with paragraph 11 of my predecessor's despatch No. 194 of the 11th of September, 1890. 10. I have observed with some surprise the confusion of mind exhibited by Mr. MITCHELL-INNES and others as to the relative responsibilities of accounting and auditing officers. Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, for instance, showed a disposition to advance a theory that it is not the duty of the Treasurer but the duty of the Auditor alone to see that the Government is not defrauded of Revenue. The proper view of the responsibilities of a Treasurer was set forth more than once, viz.: (1) in Lord KNUTSFORD'S despatch of the 11th of September, 1890 to which references has just been made, (2) in the Financial Instructions, and (3) quite recently in my despatch No. 70 of the 21st of April last.

I trust that it has now been made perfectly clear to the public service of Hongkong that the Audit of Revenue by the Local Auditor is intended, not to relieve the Treasurer of responsibility, but to secure the performance of his duty, that the Treasurer is responsible for the collection, receipt and safe keeping of Government money, that, if the Auditor finds that the Revenue is being defrauded by the public, it is prima facie evidence of neglect or laxity of duty on the part of the Treasurer, and that if the Treasury Staff ignore financial regulations and em- bezzle public funds, in course either of receipt or of payment, it is the Treasurer who will, unless in exceptional circumstances, be held pecuniarily responsible for the accruing loss.

11. I observe that it is stated in these papers that there is great pressure on the Treasury during the first few days after the dates at which rents or taxes become due. I would suggest that it might be possible to classify the persons liable to pay rents and taxes, and to arrange with them that they should make their payments at the Treasury during particular weeks or on particular days, within a certain limit of time after the date at which the payments fall legally due. Under present circumstances, these taxes cannot be fully collected in a shorter time than three months, and the Government would not, therefore, as far as I can judge, be seriously damnified by the proposed arrangement, which would have the advan- tage of obviating the pressure complained of.

12. It seems to me doubtful whether the Shroffs at the Treasury, who receive public money, should be allowed to use private chops for stamping the receipts which are given to the public, and I should be glad to know whether chops could not be provided for them bearing, in addition to their own personal device, the Royal Crown or some suitable public emblem. A die-sinker would presumably hesitate to execute such a chop if asked to do so by a private person, as the pre- sumption would at once arise that he desired to possess himself of a forged chop.

13. It occurs to me, further, that if the Receipts for Crown Rents and their counterfoils are, as no doubt they are, numbered, and if, when a rent is recorded as paid in the Rent Roll the number of the Receipt were entered in that record, the Auditor, would have no difficulty in detecting any case in which a payment there recorded as made had no tally among the counterfoils or in the Cash Book.

14. In conclusion I note that it would seem from the evidence taken by the Commissioners that ALVES' dishonesty was traceable to building speculations on his part, and that these speculations were more or less matter of notoriety. I trust that the rules which were enclosed in your despatch No. 292 of the 12th October last are being rigidly carried out, for it cannot be too soon understood in the Government service that jobbing and speculation in real property will be assumed to be incompatible with honest and honourable discharge of public duties.

15. I am not aware that there is any particular reason why this despatch and the despatch to which it is an answer should be kept confidential but leave the matter to your discretion.

WODEHOUSE and MAY.

2. In reply to the ninth paragraph of Your Lordship's despatch, I have to state that ALVES gave no security, as in the proper discharge of his duties he had nothing whatever to do with the receipt or custody of money. Barradas, late of Post Office, Hongkong, gave security to the amount of $5,000; steps were taken to put his bond in suit, and on the Attorney General's advice a tender of $2,500, by way of satisfaction of the claim against his surety arising on the bond, was accepted by my predecessor. It is doubtful whether, if the case had proceeded to trial, the Government would have recovered anything.

   "At low water there is a very heavy tide rip, and the water is much discoloured over the patch. As there may be similar patches between these Islands, it is suggested that vessels pass outside Turnabout.

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.

METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS AND WEATHER FORECASTS.

(Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, to Colonial Secretary.)

HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, HONGKONG, 22nd August, 1893.

+

I have the honour to wait upon you with the accompanying copy of a numerously signed letter from the representatives of shipping interests in the Colony asking the Chamber to bring to the notice of the Government the desirabil- ity of appointing a Committee to inquire into the system adopted at the Observatory of issuing meteorological reports and furnishing weather forecasts; and the Com- mittee, on behalf of the Signatories, beg that you will be good enough to lay the letter before His Excellency the Governor for his favourable consideration.

The question of storm warnings and the necessity for early and somewhat more widely spread information regarding atmospheric disturbances and the probable course of typhoons forming in the neighbourhood, or in the track of vessels. about to leave Hongkong, are subjects on which the Chamber has, on several occasions, addressed the Government. The value of such information to a com- munity which is largely interested in shipping, and also to the very large native boat population frequenting the Harbour, can scarcely be over-estimated, and the Committee is pleased to have the opportunity of expressing its concurrence in the suggestion put forward by the representatives of shipping interests.

A Committee such as is suggested including, as it does, experts with local experience, associated as they would be with a gentleman of Dr. DOBERCK'S scientific attainments, could hardly fail to arrive at very valuable results, and the Committee venture respectfully to urge upon His Excellency the desirability of acceding to the request contained in the letter under consideration.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

The Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary,

HONGKONG.

Your most obedient Servant,

F. HENDERSON,

Secretary.

(Enclosure in Letter of Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, of 22nd August, 1893.)

SIR,

HONGKONG, 10th August, 1893.

In reference to the annexed report (1) of proceedings at a lecture and discussion at the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association, we beg to bring to the notice of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce the suggestions made by Captain TILLETT for an improvement in the present meteorological reports and weather forecasts issued by the Observatory, and in the system by which they are made available for the information of ship-masters who may be proceeding to sea shortly after the time at which these notices are understood to be made public.

F. HENDERSON, Esq.

Secretary, Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.

(1) Not printed, but see Daily Press of 24th July, 1893.

1042 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1893.

We also beg to request that the Committee will move the Government to give instructions that weather reports are to be issued by the Observatory and made available in accordance with these suggestions, which appear to us to be both useful and practicable. They, no doubt, require to be amplified and the exact nature of the information to be given, also the conditions under which, and the place where copies of the notices may be obtained on application, should receive mature consideration. For this purpose we suggest that a competent nautical committee should be associated with Dr. DOBERCK to discuss these details, and that this Committee should consist of-

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 23rd August, 1893.

In reply to your letter of 22nd instant, I am directed to acquaint you that the Governor has much pleasure in acceding to the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce for the appointment of a Committee, to be associated with the Director of the Observatory, for the purpose of enquiring into the system of issuing meteor- ological reports and weather forecasts.

The Committee to be associated with Dr. DOBERCK will consist of an Officer to be nominated by the Senior Naval Officer, Captain A. TILLETT, and Captain F. D. GODDARD, with power to add to their number.

In view of the Committee's power to add to their number it would seem unnecessary to adopt the suggestion for the appointment, as an original member, of "the Commander of any Steamer of the P. & O. S. N. Co. which may be in at the time the Committee is sitting.'

MILLER as the Naval Officer to serve on the Committee, to be associated with the Director of the Obser- vatory, to enquire into the system of issuing meteorological reports and weather forecasts, and to acquaint you that the Director of the Observatory has been in- structed to communicate with the members for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements.

SIR,

 I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that the Committee appointed in your letter No. 1,253 of the 29th ultimo met this afternoon at the Observatory.

2. I would venture to call His Excellency's attention to the fact that I do not know of any precedent for appointing anybody on such a Committee except meteorologists.

 3. On the present Committee meteorology is represented by myself only, and there are three nautica! gentlemen who are not acquainted with the subject. It will be seen from the enclosed minute, that they wish to add two more nautical gentlemen to their number.

4. It was suggested that four members should form a quorum,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1893.

5. When I opened the proceedings by reading your letter No. 1,253, it appeared that it was not sufficiently clearly stated in the document that I was to be Chairman, and I would therefore suggest that His Excellency should formally appoint me such.

6. One of the members suggested that a short-hand reporter should be appointed. I may state that I consider such an expense quite unnecessary, other- wise I would propose Mr. CHESNEY DUNCAN, lately Secretary to the Mercantile Marine Officers' Association here.

7. I would venture to request you to order five copies of the printed report of the Observatory Commission to be sent to me for the use of the Committee, and also, if convenient, a copy of the Astronomer Royal's letter, which was forwarded with the Secretary of State's despatch of last autumn.

I have the honour to be,

(Enclosure in Dr. Doberck's letter of 11th September, 1893.)

Having understood that the present Committee had for convenience the power to add to our numbers we propose that Staff-Commander LILBURN, R.N., and Captain G. C. ANDERSON should be added to the Committee for enquiring into the system of issuing the meteorological reports and weather forecasts.

Also we would beg to be informed if Dr. DOBERCK is to be considered as Chairman of the Committee.

In reply to your letter No. 81 of the 11th instant, I am directed to inform you that it was implied in my letter No. 1,253 of the 29th ultimo that should preside over the Committee referred to therein; and I am now to inform you that the Governor desires that you will do so.

With regard to the other points raised in your letter, I am to state (1) that the Committee is empowered to add whomever it pleases to its number; (2) that it is not considered necessary to incur the expense of employing a short-hand writer; and (3) that it is to be clearly understood that the scope of the enquiry by the Committee is strictly limited to a consideration of the system of issuing meteorological reports and weather forecasts, and of the improvements that may be made in that system, and that it does not extend to an investigation into the method adopted at the Observatory for obtaining meteorological results or observa- tions.

SIR,

HONGKONG, 28th September, 1893.

Adverting to recent directions from His Excellency the Governor appointing us members of a Committee, over which Dr. DOBERCK has been authorised to preside, to inquire into the method adopted for the issue of meteorological reports and weather forecasts from the Observatory at Kowloon, and to suggest any improvements appearing desirable, we, the undersigned, have the honour to state that three meetings of this Committee have now been held, and it is with deep regret that we feel obliged, at this stage of the proceedings, to request His Excellency will be pleased to allow us to withdraw from this Committee, feeling assured from the Chairman's expressed opinions, both verbally and in his letter to you (H.K.O. No. 81) read at last Meeting, that, regarding our acquaintance with the subject in hand, there is in his mind a want of that confidence in his associates which is so essential to the harmonious and efficient working out of the problem before us.

 At a meeting held in the Observatory on Tuesday last, Dr. DOBERCK's letter to you (H.K.O. No. 81), which hitherto had not been examined, was read at the request of the Committee, and clause 3 was taken exception to. Dr. DOBERCK admitted that the expression therein regarding the acquaintance of the other members of the Committee with meteorological research was an unfortunate one, and it was decided that a letter should be written to you withdrawing it.

 Yesterday a draft of the letter which Dr. DOBERCK proposes to send was forwarded to us for concurrence, the wording of which only confirms us in the opinion already expressed, viz., that there is a want of confidence and hearty co-operation between the Chairman and those associated with him, without which the labours of the Committee must inevitably prove abortive.

 Under these circumstances we feel the only course of procedure left us is to tender to His Excellency the Governor, with the most profound respect, our resignation as members of the Committee.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG. 30th September, 1893.

With reference to my letter No. 1,233 of 23rd ultimo, I am directed to acquaint you,

for the information of the Chamber of Commerce, that the gentlemen who were, on the recommendation of the Chamber, associated with Dr. DOBERCK in the Committee referred to therein have resigned their seats on the Committee. The Governor has accepted their resignations, and the Committee is therefore at an end.

The gentlemen, however, who are interested in the subject that the Committee was intended to enquire into, viz., "the system adopted at the Observatory of issuing meteorological reports and furnishing weather forecasts," will probably have no difficulty in formulating the improvements that they desire to be intro- duced into that system; and I am to state that if they will do so, His Excellency will have much pleasure in considering whether such alterations as may be proposed can be effected.

No. 91.

SIR,

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 30th September, 1893.

I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter which I have received from Commander MILLER, R.N., Captain TILLETT and Captain G. C. ANDERSON, tender- ing their resignation from the Committee on the issue of meteorological reports and weather forecasts.

It was

2. Their resignation is apparently based on a dislike to having anybody sitting with them who understands the subject and all the local circumstances. nearly impossible for me to make them confine their remarks to the subject of the inquiry, and that I did to some extent do so, appears to have been a reason with them for resigning.

3. That the members knew nothing of the subject is proved by the fact that they did not finish the Committee and agree to a report in one sitting, as a Com- mittee consisting of meteorologists would have been able to do.

4. I was obliged to enter into rudimentary explanations to enable them to understand the first principles of issuing weather forecasts.

5. The appointment of Captain TILLETT on this Committee was unfortunate as his suggestion at a meeting of the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association as to the issue of isobaric weather charts for the area between Shanghai and Cape Saint James, proves at once that he has no acquaintance with the subject, other- wise he must have been well aware, that the issue of such charts was impossible with the present limited number of stations. On the same occasion he practically advised mariners to man?uvre their vessels during the approach of a typhoon, as they had to do sixty years ago, and not to act on the rules founded on our present knowledge of the law of storms.

6. Some member or members of the Committee acted improperly in giving information after each sitting, directly or indirectly, to the newspapers, abusing the Government and myself.

1048

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7?? OCTOBER, 1893.

7. I have the honour to enclose the minutes of the three meetings held and would venture to suggest that these together with the correspondence, including this letter, be printed in the Government Gazette.

i

8. The issue of reports and warnings at present is conducted as well as it can possibly be done on the basis of the data available, and all the information is issued without delay.

9. The information is not exact; but, such as it is, it is sufficient for intelligent masters of vessels.

 10. Seamen have great confidence in my warnings and obey them always implicitly while in and when leaving this harbour.

 11. The weather forecasts and storm warnings cannot be improved without cables to South Cape, Anping, Fisher Island, and North Borneo, without meteoro- logical telegrams from Hoihow and places between Haiphong and Cape Saint James, and without the observations being made more accurately in China.

If

 12. If the Government is prepared to spend large sums of money on cables, instruments, and observers, great improvements will then follow; but possibly it will prefer to leave improvements in telegraph lines in China to the Government of China. The China Coast is warned from this Observatory in case of typhoons. These warnings are based on too few and uncertain observations to be exact. the inhabitants of the Coast Ports want better warnings, and if the Government of Hongkong does not choose to go to additional expense, then they ought to address the Inspector General of Customs, Peking, who might see his way to apportion the cost between the Chinese Government and the various ports. The Colonial Govern- ment would, no doubt, pay a reasonable share.

 13. In case there be any point on which the Governor is not convinced that no further inquiry is necessary, then I would most respectfully suggest that His Excellency consider the advisability of consulting scientific authorities in England. There is no objection to another Committee to consider the subjects as long as I act as chairman; but, I submit, that it is not now required.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

W. DOBERCK,

Director.

DEAR SIR,

 In view of the sentiments expressed in the draft of your proposed letter to the Colonial Secretary which, we presume, expresses your own opinions, we feel it will be impossible for us to act with you in the discussion of a subject our know- ledge of which apparently is held by you in such light estimation.

 We have, therefore, no course left but to forward to the Colonial Secretary a letter tendering formally our resignation as members of the Committee on meteorological reports and weather forecasts.

 We beg to return herewith the draft you so kindly forwarded, on which we had already inserted some notes and remarks before our final decision was arrived

at.

We remain,

Captain TILLETT suggested that no Chairman had been appointed.

Captain GODDARD thought that the Director of the Observatory had been appointed.

Commander MILLER, R. N., inclined to agree with the former, and Dr. DOBERCK with the latter. Question referred to His Excellency the Governor for decision.

Captain TILLETT explained that the Committee had power to add to their number.

Commander MILLER, R.N., and Captain GODDARD agreed. The Chairman disagreed. Question referred.

Captain TILLETT recommended Captain BURNIE.

The CHAIRMAN opposed.

Captain TILLETT recommended Captain G. C. ANDerson.

Unanimously resolved that Captain ANDERSON be elected as a member.

The CHAIRMAN suggested that a second Naval Officer be added to the Committee.

Commander MILLER, R.N., suggested Commander LILBURN, R.N. Unanimously agreed.

SECOND MEETING.

Monday, the 18th September, at 3 p.m.

Present:-The CHAIRMAN.

Commander MILLER, R.N.

Captain TILLETT.

Captain ANDERSON,

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.

Letter No. 1,330 from the Colonial Secretary confirming the appointment of the Chairman and a letter from Staff-Commander LILBURN, R.N., informing the Chairman that his duties left him no time to join the Committee were laid on the table.

Captain TILLETT proposed Captain BURNIE, Lloyd's Surveyor, as a member, Commander MILLER, R.N., seconded.

Unanimously agreed.

1050 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1893.

 Captain TILLETT explained the great practical importance of the daily issue of isobaric weather charts for the area between Shanghai and Cape Saint James taking in Tongking and the islands of Formosa and the Philippines. Such charts would be useful to the shipping. A mere forecast of the weather expected in this Colony, --whether it was going to rain or there were chances of a thunderstorm,-was under ordinary circumstances not of much value to a Colony that is not interested in agriculture.

 The CHAIRMAN exhibited charts and explained systems of issuing meteor- ological information and daily weather charts and forecasts adopted in the United States, England, Japan, Sydney and Mauritius. The weather service in the United States was the most expensive and the most perfect. The States were covered by a net-work of telegraphic reporting stations, established at well exposed places, and worked by officers specially trained and under constant supervision from Wash- ington with instruments continuously verified. Their telegrams and telegraphic weather forecasts sent to each State have precedence urgency. Forecasts are further distributed through telephones. All is done within an hour by a large staff of officials. The magnificent daily isobaric weather charts are necessary, as there are too many stations--about 150-to allow anybody to grasp the distribu- tion of, and the changes going on in the meteorological elements at so large a number of stations except by aid of projection on weather maps. The latter are issued mainly in the interest of agriculture but are highly esteemed by masters of vessels navigating the most western portion of the North Atlantic. Their value would be further increased if they covered the West Indies. But that is not done. There are no daily isobaric charts for the West Indies. England issues isobaric weather charts which are most minute in the British Isles, for which weather forecasts are issued, and giving a rougher representation of the weather along the coasts round the Bay of Biscay and down to Gibraltar as well as on the continent. The Japanese tri-daily weather maps were shown and attention called to their minute details, and the weather forecasts for the different parts of Japan. Weather charts from Sydney were shown. The stations in New South Wales, about 30 in number, were mostly lying along the coast line and isobars could therefore not be drawn. These charts did not seem to be needed at all, as the information conveyed could be at least as lucidly exhibited in a table. The weather intelligence issued at Mauritius was highly appreciated by seafaring men. It was based on observ- ations made at the Observatory as there was no cable connection between the islands in the southern Indian Ocean. Captain TILLETT was quite right in recom- mending isobaric weather charts. Such were, in fact, indispensable, for forecasting the weather over a large area and for the proper issue of local forecasts. At the same time it could not be expected that forecasts in Southern China or in Europe would be as accurate as on the east coast of North America. There the depres- sions arrived from inland, whereas in South China and in England they arrive from the sea. In North China depressions arrive from inland and move towards Japan, so that in the northern part of the Far East forecasts could be issued the same as in America.

+

Captain ANDERSON remarked that storms in Japan arrive from the west in

winter.

The CHAIRMAN stated that such was to a great extent also the case in summer.

 Captain TILLETT remarked that the Japanese weather charts were not of much value to vessels leaving Japan. They might be of local use.

 The CHAIRMAN said he had often heard Captains remark that they got more notice of storms raging out at sea in Hongkong than in Japan; but the system of issuing meteorological information there is nevertheless much superior to our own.

 Mr. F. G. FIGG, being called upon to give evidence, explained that the number of stations in China was not sufficient for constructing isobars, so much more as the stations were all lying along the coast. They were not selected with any reference to proper exposure anywhere, e. g., the observations were made in Custom houses in sheltered positions by observers who had little or no training and whose instruments were often out of order and only to some extent compared here. It is desired to issue the forecast for the day by 10.30 A.M., but at this time usually not more than half the observations from the other stations have arrived. The forecast must be made without them, or in case of bad weather being indicated at a distance, it is delayed till more telegrams arrive. This is very unsatisfactory for the general

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1893.

1051

public, and not less so for those who have to frame the forecast. From two most important quarters, Formosa and Hainan, telegrams are so seldom received (and if received are never in time during the typhoon season) that we never expect them, and for purposes of forecasting, they are, therefore, almost if not quite useless for the greater part of the year. In Hainan Hoihow is the only station; and in Formosa, Anping the only one from which we are supposed to get telegrams. South Cape is not in telegraphic connection with the outer world. From Anping telegrams are in summer not received more than twice or thrice in a fortnight.

The CHAIRMAN.-How do you make the forecasts then? How is it done?

Mr. FIGG. An examination of the observations is made and the changes in pressure, wind and weather, which have taken place since the last observation at the various stations is noted. The relative heights of the barometer and the rate of changes of pressure then in progress at each station is then taken into account and an estimate formed of how the wind is going to change. As the stations are far asunder and for reasons before mentioned it is easily seen that inferences so drawn are sometimes incorrect and more especially as the weather on the coast is greatly modified by pressure and temperature conditions prevailing over Central China and of which at the time we know absolutely nothing, local weather is forecast using the foregoing data and by inspection of the appearances of the sky with regard to clouds and dampness. Use is also made of the rain-band spectro- scope, but in my experience here it is of very little use for forecasting rain though perhaps as regards foretelling thunderstorms its indications are sometimes of service. As we have no isobars we cannot foretell the weather from their shape as in other places.

Captain TILLETT.-With how many stations are you in telegraphic connection?

The CHAIRMAN.-There are about 18 if you count them all; but stations in or very near the Colony can hardly be counted as more than one station.

Commander MILLER, R.N.-They would count for more than one station if the observations were recorded very accurately.

The CHAIRMAN.-Mr. FIGG, if the stations were all right and scattered over China, how

many would you want to make isobaric weather charts? Would 50 do?

Mr. FIGG.-Hardly.

The CHAIRMAN.-Would 100 do?

Mr. FIGG.-They might.

Commander MILLER, R.N.-How many stations would you require round the China Sea to draw isobars?

+

The CHAIRMAN.-It is impossible to draw isobars over the sea from stations on shore. With inferior stations 1,000 would not be enough, but if the stations were all right and properly distributed 20 would go a long way to allow inferences to be drawn regarding the weather over the sea.

Captain TILLETT.-How much would it cost to issue a daily isobaric weather chart for the part of the Far East between Shanghai and Cape St. James.

The CHAIRMAN.-Weather charts for the whole of the Far East something like two million dollars a year. We might want 300 stations in telegraphic con- nection with us. This Colony could not afford to pay for an accurate isobaric

weather service for the whole of the Far East.

Captain TILLETT.-It cannot be done then?

We

The CHAIRMAN.-Not with the means at present at our disposal here. get the observations, such as they are for nothing and get them forwarded for no- thing. We cannot find fault with those who so generously assist us.

                              You now see that the issue of such information-such very expensive information-as they issue in Europe or America is impossible for me here, through circumstances over which I have no control.

Minutes of last meeting read and confirmed.

 The CHAIRMAN gave notice that he would call Mr. FIGG to give evidence on such improvements as he could suggest and submit a report himself after Captain ANDERSON had spoken.

 Captain TILLETT.--We have not seen your letter to the Colonial Secretary. Please read it to us.

 The CHAIRMAN.-It was laid on the table at the second meeting but was not read. I will read it now.

(Letter H.K.O. No. 81 read.)

Letter objected to.

Decided that an explanatory letter be circulated among the members.

 Captain ANDERSON.-With reference to a forecast in the local newspaper Extra published on Wednesday, 20th September, at 1.45 P.M., was that forecast the result of telegraphic information received? If not, how was it known in the Observatory here that the centre of the storm was near the northern entrance of the Formosa Channel ?

 The CHAIRMAN.-On the 20th at 10.5 a.m. the following notice was issued:-- "Centre of typhoon now situated near northern entrance to Formosa Channel," and the red north cone was hoisted. That was the result of a telegram received from Amoy at 9.54 a.m. giving the usual 9 a.m. observations, and another received from Sharp Peak in answer to a query. If those telegrams had not been received

here we should not have known where the centre was situated.

 Captain ANDERSON.-Are we correct in assuming from what Mr. FIGG told us at our last meeting that the reasons put forward for not being able to supply forecasts in time for the morning's Eatra is that you do not receive weather reports by wire in time and frequently not at all from the most important stations?

The CHAIRMAN.--Yes. That is so.

 Captain ANDERSON.--Supposing proper telegraphic weather reports were furnished in time for the Observatory, would it be possible to give forecasts, say, for the regions between here and the Philippines and between here and Japan or Shanghai, not necessarily by means of isobars, but by using proper judgment and having regard to the wind force, state of barometer, thermometer, etc., at the

different stations ?

The CHAIRMAN.-Yes; if the reports were sufficient in number and accuracy.

 Captain ANDERSON.-Supposing the Observatory here were placed in proper telegraphic communication with Bolinao and stations on the North Coast of Luzon, South Cape (Formosa), and Hoihow in Hainan, as well as the China Coast ports, would it be possible to lay down the tracks of typhoons, say, coming from the Bashee Channel, and publish at intervals the latitude and longitude of the centres and the direction in which the storm is travelling approximately?

The CHAIRMAN.-Yes; that could be done in case of typhoons coming from that direction; but very many typhoons originate in the China Sea, and then we cannot give the longitude and latitude, as long as the China Sea is not surrounded by proper telegraphic reporting stations.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1893.

1053

Captain ANDERSON.-Is the Hongkong Observatory in communication officially or otherwise with the authorities of the Manila Observatory and Zi-Ka-Wei?

The CHAIRMAN.-Yes.

  Yes. We are in constant communication and we exchange observations telegraphically, in manuscript, and all the publications. We visit each other whenever possible and facilities are mutually granted for making observations in any one of those Observatories to the staff of the other Observatories but I have not visited Luzon. The Jesuit Fathers are in a position to spend no end of money on their Observatories, and they can appoint any number of members. I believe in Zi-Kai-Wei they own as much land as British Kowloon, and their income probably equals the income of the Colonial Government.

Captain ANDERSON.-Would not hearty co-operation with these Observatories tend greatly to improve the information available here and enable forecasts to be made at least with regard to typhoons?

The CHAIRMAN.--We co-operate as much as possible at present. Further co-operation, if possible, would mean loss of time.

-~

Captain ANDERSON. Are there any material obstacles to such co-operation? The CHAIRMAN.-We do co-operate at present as much as scientific men can co-operate, and there are no obstacles.

Captain TILLETT.-Would not telegrams from Aparri on the north coast of Luzon be useful?

The CHAIRMAN.-Yes; but I hardly think we would get them regularly or in time. The Spanish land lines do not seem to act satisfactorily in all cases. They do not seem to get their reports in time in Manila. The Manila telegrams reach Bolinao over a land line which is often interrupted, and this line is much shorter than the line to Aparri. We do not receive them in time; but it seems the Jesuit Fathers wait till they receive our 10 A.M. messages and warnings, then they issue their telegrams.

Captain TILLETT.-I should think Manila the most important station in the Far East. Is it not so?

The CHAIRMAN.--By no means! South Cape is perhaps the most important station, but they are all more or less important. Weather forecasts should depend upon the whole system and not upon a single station. Now the wind telegraphed from Manila is usually wrong owing to deflection from the mountains and the tower. The barometer is of some importance, but it is sometimes wrongly trans- mitted. Bolinao is more important, and we can have information from there at any time during the day.

Captain TILLETT.-But I understand observations are made there by the officials of the Eastern Extension Company. Could their observations be trusted? The CHAIRMAN.-Yes. I should trust them more than any others simply because they are not biassed.

Captain TILLETT.-How do you mean? Biassed against the Colony, or against yourself, or what?

The CHAIRMAN.-They are not biassed in making observations because they have not got any theories, or pre-conceived notions about phenomena, and do not claim any particular knowledge of meteorology. They observe and transmit any- thing they see, and ask for information about the weather if they think it looks bad. That is what I mean when I say they are not biassed. The word is used in that sense by scientific observers.

Captain TILLETT.-Please show us some of the telegrams and let us have the opportunity of seeing for ourselves how late they are received.

The CHAIRMAN.-Here is the book. Now, see. In the first half of July the Tokio 9 A.M. was received at 2 P.M., Foochow at 12.15 P.M., Amoy at 11 A.M., Swatow Since then there at 11.30 A.M., Manila 10 observations between 11.30 A.M. and noon.

has been a decided improvement due to the interest Mr. VON PFORDTEN, the Manager in China of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, takes in the matter. I called a few years ago on Mr. JUDD, the then Manager, but Mr. JUDD told me he would not do anything further as our reports were not appreciated by the public.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

  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-Adiniral of the same.

Whereas by Section 3 of The Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855, it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor of Hongkong, by Proclamation, for the purposes of the said Act, among other things, to declare what shall be deemed to be the duration of the voyage of any Chinese Passenger Ship:

Now, therefore, I, the said Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, under and by virtue of the powers conferred on me by the said Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that, for the purposes of the said Act, the voyage of any Chinese Passenger Ship propelled by steam from the Port of Hongkong to German New Guinea shall be deemed to be a voyage of fifteen days' duration, and from the Port of Hoihow in the Empire of China to Banka shall be deemed to be a voyage of nine days' duration; and, therefore, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a voyage of "not more than thirty days' duration" within the meaning of Section 4 of The Chinese Emigration Consolidation Ordinance, 1889, of Hongkong.

Given under my hand and the public seal of the Colony, at Victoria, Hongkong, this 14th day of October, 1893.

By Command,

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th October, 1893.

SIR,

HONGKONG, 9th October, 1893.

Observing that a portion of the correspondence relative to the late Committee on Weather Reports, &c., (of which we the undersigned were appointed Members) has been published in the Official Gazette, and considering that the portion published scarcely gives the Public a fair idea of our reasons for resigning, we have the honour herewith to forward you a copy of the draft which Dr. DOBERCK sent for our approval and concurrence (presumably setting forth his own views), and in doing so would beg to state that the terms in which this draft was couched tended in a great measure to confirm us in the opinion that, as then constituted, the Committee could never arrive at any satisfactory conclusion.

The notations in red ink on the copy herewith were made by us on the original draft, before the final decision to withdraw from the Committee had been arrived at.

Certain statements in Dr. DOBERCK's letter to you dated the 30th ultimo, published in the Gazette, would seem to call for refutation on our part, but it does not appear desirable to enter on an acrimonions dispute in an official despatch. We would beg to state, however, that we take most emphatic exception to clauses 2, 3, 4, and 6 of that letter, especially the third named wherein Dr. DOBERCK states that he "was obliged to enter into rudimentary explanations, &c., &c."

:

That Dr. DOBERCK did so is undeniable, but it was not by our wish or desire, and he was frequently assured by us that it was unnecessary as not only we, but most shipmasters and nautical men, were well acquainted with these principles assuming however his prerogative as Chairman of the Committee the rudiments were carefully expounded before Dr. DOBERCK could be induced to proceed to more weighty matters.

With regard to the Minutes of the Committee Meetings published, these are all given from memory, as scarcely even a note was taken during the proceedings; they are therefore, we assume, scarcely reliable, especially those of the last meeting: in some instances expressions distinctly recollected by us have been omitted, and others have been inserted which cannot be recalled to memory, these however in the absence of any minutes taken at the time, or shorthand report, it is impossible now to verify.

As the particulars set forth herein do not appear in the correspondence already published, in justice to ourselves and in the interests of the community at large we would beg that these may also be published in the Official Gazette.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

(Copy of Dr. Doberck's proposed Letter to the Colonial Secretary.)

To Honourable

COLONIAL SECRETARY.

SIR,

At a meeting held to-day of the Committee appointed in your letter No. 1,253 of 29th ultimo, the members present requested me to read my letter HK.O. No. 81 which I had the honour to address you on the 11th instant, and which it ▲ I had omitted to read, appears that ▲ [they had overlooked when]* it was laid on the table at the previous

meeting.

and they had not no- ticed that

gators having some

Togy.

2. The members took exception at the third paragraph of my letter A [which knowledge of Meteoro- they consider reflects upon their skill in their profession, implying, as they say, it may be made to imply, that they would not be able to manoeuvre a vessel in a Typhoon, or would not be able to make use of meteorological information, or would not be able to judge for themselves about the weather with reference to the amount of sail to be carried at any time by a vessel, &c., &c.]

3. To this, interpretation I object, I simply meant to convey that they had no professional knowledge of meteorology as a mathematical science or of the way of working an Observatory. This interpretation follows from the previous paragraph, and the third paragraph of your letter No. 1,330 of the 13th instant proves that you understood it in the samic sense in which I wrote it.

4. The gentlemen on the Committee admit that what I intended to convey, and what you understood me to say is not objectionable, but they nevertheless protest that the paragraph in question is most improper.

5. A I would [therefore] request permission from His Excellency the Governor ions of these gentlemen to expunge that paragraph, and would venture to A return my letter HK.O. No. 81,

for that purpose as soon as possible.

6. I would venture to request His Excellency's permission, for the appoint- ment of a shorthand Reporter as this Committee declare such an official to be absolutely necessary.

7. I would therefore strongly recommend the appointment of a shorthand Reporter, [and I expect that Mr. CHESNEY DUNCAN, lately Secretary to the Mer- cantile Marine Officers' Association will accept of that appointment.]

as a science.

Note.-Clause 3 we object to altogether as conveying the general idea that none but professional Meteorologists can work an Observatory, or know anything of meteorology Whereas on the other hand we have numerous instances of observatories actually being worked by nautical men. Admiral Mouchez was for years Director of the Paris Observatory, an Observatory set up purely for scientific purposes at the Island of Ascension was worked by an Officer of R. M. L. I., the Observatory at the Cape was for the first years of its existence worked by a Naval Officer, and that at Portsmouth has always been.

PROSPECTUS.

1079

It has been decided to hold an International Exhibition in Hobart during the Summer of 1894-95, and the Government of Tasmania has been pleased to grant their Official Patronage to the undertaking. The proposal has been taken up by the people of Tasmania and the adjacent Colonies with such general approval that the necessary capital has been most readily subscribed.

The City of Hobart is most favourably situated. The Colony of Tasmania has a population of 150,000, and with the neighbouring Colonies the total population numbers about 4,000,000 inhabitants. Launceston and other centres are within a few hours by rail. The Australian Colonies are easy of access by steam, and the tourists' routes to all places of interest radiate from Hobart.

The objects of the Exhibition are:-To promote and foster Industry, Science, and Art, by inciting the inventive genius of our people to a further improvement in Arts and Manufactures, as well as to stimulate commercial enterprise by inviting all nations to exhibit their products, both in the raw and finished state. Samples of the products for whith this and the other Australasian Colonies have become famous will be exhibited with a view to increase the development of their natural resources.

Similar and more varied exhibits may be expected from Great Britain, the Continent of Europe, America, India, Canada, the Cape, and other Colonies, to which the Government of Tasmania have forwarded an official invitation to grant their substantial support to the undertaking.

A Fine Art Section will form an important and attractive department of the Exhibition. For the accommodation of the Art Treasures and Historical Objects a special block of the building will be reserved, and the most ample precautions will be taken for the security of valuable property lent for the purposes of the Exhibition.

Two Sections, viz., the Women's Industrial and the Artisan Section, will be particular features. Special arrangements will be made for the management of these.

The site which has been granted by the Government for the Exhibition Buildings covers about eleven acres.

It is one of exceptional beauty and convenience, being that portion of the Queen's Domain adjoining the Battery and the Central Railway Station.

The buildings which it is proposed to erect will be constructed according to plans prepared by competent architects. The ornamental flower plots, shrubberies, fountains, etc., will be enclosed in the Exhibition Grounds, where musical promenades and other entertainments will be provided for the enjoyment of visitors.

The situation of the Exhibition Buildings is specially convenient of access for Exhibitors by means of the lines of rail, which can be made use of day or night for the passage of railway trucks. Heavy goods can be delivered at a minimum cost and with the least possible amount of risk. In addition to this, the Port of Hobart offers a cheap and ready means for the receiving and delivery of all sea-borne goods.

It is intended to afford full postal, telephonic, telegraphic, and banking facilities within the Exhibition Buildings, so that all necessary business may be conducted by Exhibitors and others without leaving the premises.

The whole arrangements are in the hands of a powerful Directorate, and everything will be done to facilitate the work of Exhibitors, and minimise their outlay.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 379.

The following preliminary report received from the Director of Public Works is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th October, 1893.

No. 1.077.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 16th October, 1893.

 SIR,----I have the honour, after visiting the Gap Rock in company with Captain RUMSEY, R.N., the Harbour Master, on the 11th instant, to report that from the information obtained from the light- keepers and from personal inspection it appears that during the gale that past over the Rock on the 1st and 2nd instant the works in connection with the Lighthouse were damaged in the following particu- lars, viz.:-

 Four panels of lantern glazing (an inch thick) on the east side were broken, mean height above sea level 140 feet.

Three centre lenses of dioptric apparatus broken and one damaged. One upper panel of prisms broken and others slightly damaged. Three bottom panels of prisms slightly damaged and Burner bent.

Six brackets carrying gallery round lantern and 3 gallery plates and portion of hand rail broken. Lower portion of lightning conductor carried away.

 One panel in door of service room situated in tower below light room was broken to allow the water which entered the Tower through the damaged lantern to escape.

 The eastern window of oil room in tower 106 feet above mean sea level was knocked in, this window was secured to masonry by four " screw bolts screwed into cast iron sockets built into masonry.

 Two small windows on staircase gangway from lower building to Tower and Lightkeeper's Quarters broken, level above mean sea level 100 feet.

 On the upper floor of the lower building 95 feet above mean sea level windows in bathroom and Chinese quarters facing north and east respectively broken.

 On ground floor of lower building level 84 feet above mean sea level window of Telegraph Office facing east and entrance door facing north broken, the typhoon bar of the latter, dimensions 3′.0′′ × 3" x 24", being broken in two at centre.

Boiler house door 75 feet above mean sea level broken.

 The railing along the eastern side of the embankment leading from Tower to landing was bent level with the ground. The railing along the path down the western side of the Rock and the derrick used for landing situated a few feet above mean sea level were carried away.

 The old water tank situated near the north end of the embankment which had been converted into a hen house was carried away.

The door of the pump house and some thirty feet of piping situated on the west side of the Rock a few feet above mean sea level were carried away.

 With the exception of the old water tank which had been converted into a hen house and five of the coping stones and masonry chimney of the lower building, the masonry work has not apparently suffered.

 The internal fittings, and crockery in the Lightkeepers' Quarters suffered to some extent owing to the water which found its way into the buildings through the broken lantern, windows and door.

The short length of land wire in connection with the telegraph was displaced.

 The salt water carried on to the roofs found its way by means of the down pipes into the fresh water tank.

TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENTS.

2. The Harbour Master informs me that the Lightkeepers fitted storm glasses in the lantern and exhibited two lighted oil lamps in the Tower on the night of the 3rd, which are still in use. The windows in the Chinese Quarters and telegraph room have been boarded up and the telegraph land line repaired. 3. I regret that I have no evidence to enable me to state definitely the immediate cause of the lantern glazing giving way which led to the damage of the dioptric apparatus.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

Director of Public Works.

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 following letter from the Director of the Observatory, and further letter from the Director of Public Works, having reference to the recent damage to the Gap Rock Lighthouse, are published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th October, 1893.

H.K.O. No. 100.

G. T. M. O'BRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY,

20th October, 1893.

   SIR,-In answer to your letter No. 1,482 of yesterday, I have the honour to inform you that there was no strong gale on the 1st, but that it was blowing with typhoon force at the Gap Rock from the morning of the 2nd till the early morning hours on the 3rd. It was blowing with very strong typhoon force shortly after noon on the 2nd, and that lasted till midnight.

2. The typhoon was one of exceptional severity at the Gap Rock, and the disaster was greatly intensified by the unusually great length of time the blow lasted.

   3. The Gap Rock is lying very near the track of the worst typhoons that have been felt in the Colony, in an exposed position, and the conformation of the sea bottom as well as the shape of the Rock cause the sea to be much worse there than in other places.

4. The damage done to the lighthouse was, no doubt, mainly due to the sea. I can hardly think that the wind alone could have much damaged such a substantial structure.

   5. The lighthouses erected by the Imperial Customs of China are not placed in such exposed situations as the Gap Rock.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

W. DOBERCK,

Director.

The Honourable G. T. M. O'BRIEN, C.M.G.,

&c.,

Colonial Secretary, &C.,

No. 1,114.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 25th October, 1893.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 1,476 of the 18th instant, requesting a further report in writing concerning the damage done to the Gap Rock Lighthouse and apparatus during the gale of the 1st and 2nd instant, and in which you state there are points which bear on the immediate cause of the lantern glazing giving way that can be ascertained and should be definitely recorded, e.g. :--

(1) If a solid wave broke against the lantern and smashed it, would not the Tower have been immediately filled with water or at least have taken in an enormous quantity of water? (2) Is there any evidence of the effect that a solid wave breaking against the lantern must

have had on the lower buildings?

(3) If the breaking of the outer glazing were caused by debris dashed against it, some traces

of debris would probably have afterwards been found inside the Tower?

(4) The resisting power or breaking point of the lantern glazing. Were the lantern frames intact and uninjured when first examined after the catastrophe? Or did they require repairs? Were portions of glass found still sticking in them? Was the resisting power of the panes that were broken tested before they were fixed? If so, with what result?

2. If a solid wave, by which I assume is meant an unbroken ocean wave, passed over the eastern portion of the Rock and broke against the lantern smashing the four panels of glazing having a combined area of 33 square feet, I am certainly of opinion that a very large quantity of water would have undoubtedly entered the Tower. The actual quantity that did enter the Tower is difficult to ascertain as it was, no doubt, considerably broken up in running down the stairs and round the dioptric apparatus into the Service Room below from which a portion of it almost immediately escaped under the door. From the information I can get the maximum depth of water in the Service Room was probably about one foot which would be 650 gallons.

1106

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH OCTOBER, 1893.

 3. The panel in the Service Room door was broken from the outside by the lightkeeper, Mr. NICHOLAS, in reponse to the calls of the three Chinamen in the room who, I learn, were unable to open the door partly on account of the wind and partly owing to the water and broken glass against it.

The three Chinamen in the Service Room were two lightkeepers and one coolie.

 4. At the time of the accident the two European lightkeepers were in their quarters adjoining the tower, Mr. NICHOLAS having just left the lantern, the two Chinese lightkeepers were in the lantern, one coolie in the Service Room, one coolie in the European kitchen and the Telegraph Clerk in the European lightkeepers' quarters.

 5. The two Chinese lightkeepers in the lantern were, no doubt, in the best practical position of any one on the Rock to see what took place. These men say that they saw a solid wave dash against the lantern, but on being questioned it appears they mean by that expression a mass of water.

 6. There is no evidence in the present conditions of the buildings that an unbroken ocean wave passed over the eastern portion of the Rock and broke against the lantern. Had such a thing happened the buildings, in my opinion, would have, to say the least, suffered very serious damage.

 7. Had the lantern glazing been broken by debris it is possible that some of the debris might have entered the tower; this would, however, depend on the size of the portions coming in contact with the lantern and whether such debris in the first instance merely fractured the glass in the panels or smashed it in.

A careful search was made amongst the debris and no foreign material was found inside the Tower. 8. As regards the strength of the lantern glazing I regret I have no precise information, and its ascertainment would be the subject of experiment rather than theory. I have not, however, the slightest hesitation in expressing the opinion that the force exerted by the wind was not sufficient of itself to break the glazing.

 9. The lantern framing was intact and uninjured when first examined after the catastrophe and required no repairs. Portions of glass were found sticking in the frames all round in the case of each of the four panels broken, which proves conclusively that the glass was broken before leaving the frames.

 10. The resisting power of the panes that were broken was not tested here before they were fixed. The lantern and glazing were received complete from England, and I have no information of having been made.

any tests

 11. The suitability of glass of any description for a special purpose is more the subject of practical experience than of actual experiment on its resisting power.

 12. It would not be an easy matter to get the glass uninjured, viz., 44 panels in all, out of the frames, and being of opinion that the glazing in the lantern cannot be exposed in such a position to a steady pressure sufficient to break it, except by artificial means, no useful information bearing on the present accident would apparently be gained by testing the glass under a steady pressure. Also though the glass could be broken by impact I fail to see the practical application of the results of tests of that nature in this case.

..

 13. As regards the feasibility of permanently maintaining the Lighthouse on the Gap Rock I am of opinion the exposure of the Tower and buildings has been somewhat under-estimated due more to the contour of the Rock than its geographical position, and before expressing a definite opinion as to the feasibility of permanently maintaining the Lighthouse on the Gap Rock and what measures should be taken to guard against the recurrence of a similar catastrophe, I request that during my approach- ing visit to England I may be placed in communication with an Engineer of considerable experience in the construction and maintenance of works of this nature.

 14. From the information gained during a visit to the Gap Rock on the 20th instant in company with the Harbour Master it appears that the most probable cause of the lantern glazing getting broken was a mass of water being blown against it, which seems to have occurred in this way, viz, a heavy sea rolled into the gulley in the Rock on the north-east side of the Tower and buildings, breaking on the face of the Rock fully 50 feet below the base of the Tower, the broken water towered up into the air and a portion was carried by the force of the wind against the lantern.

 15. In conclusion I would point out that, with the heavy sea that was running on the 1st and 2nd instant breaking on the rocks, and thes pray carried by the wind all round the buildings, it would be a very difficult, if not impossible, matter for any one on the Rock to see definitely what was going on at the time the accident occurred.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

It appears to this Committee highly desirable that the Gap Rock should be connected with Hong- kong not only for the purpose of keeping up communication between the Authorities and their Employes at the Lighthouse at such times as the state of the weather renders ordinary inter- course dangerous or impossible, but also as a means of affording early information of the approach of vessels.

2. From this it is apparent that the object in view was a two fold one viz.:-

(a) Communication with the Lighthouse Keepers in connection with their duties as such,

and

(b) Early information of the approach of vessels.

3. The result of this and of further communications was that the Cable was laid in 1891 at a cost of $87,000.

It appears to this Committee highly desirable that the Gap Rock should be connected with Hong- kong not only for the purpose of keeping up communication between the Authorities and their Employes at the Lighthouse at such times as the state of the weather renders ordinary inter- course dangerous or impossible, but also as a means of affording early information of the approach of vessels.

3. The result of this and of further communications was that the Cable was laid in 1891 at a cost of $87,000.

"

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH NOVEMBER, 1893. 1121

4. In March 1892, a representation was made to the Governor by certain Merchants and others asking for an improvement in the manner of signalling approaching vessels, suggesting that the Gap Rock Cable should be made use of, and that a direct line should be laid between Cape D'Aguilar and the Post Office.

The Harbour Master and Captain Superintendent of Police reported by order of His Excellency, on this representation, and a further letter on the subject was later on addressed to the Colonial Secretary by the gentlemen who made the representation.

5. A conference was afterwards held between certain gentlemen connected with shipping interests, the Colonial Secretary, the Harbour Master and the Captain Superintendent of Police, at which the subject was discussed and the following conclusions were come to:-

(a) That a Signal Station at Kowloon was desirable.

(b) That direct telegraphic communication should be established between Gap Rock and Post Office, and the existing Police line be made use of between Cape D'Aguilar and Post Office.

(c) That ships passing Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar should be signalled to Post Office and posted on a Notice Board outside that Office and the information forwarded to Kowloon.

(d) That the duty of telegraphing should devolve on three clerks to be specially engaged for the purpose and who would be interchangeable between Gap Rock, Cape D'Aguilar and the Post Office.

6. The present system was inaugurated in October 1892, and is as follows:-

(a) Three Telegraph Clerks, engaged at $30 a month each, are stationed respectively at Gap Rock, Cape D'Aguilar and the Post Office; they are interchangeable and relieve each other monthly.

(b) Passing vessels are signalled to the Post Office by telegraph direct from Gap Rock, and from Cape D'Aguilar by telephone through the Saukiwan, Wanchai and Central Police Stations.

(c) The information thus received at the Post Office is forwarded through the Central, Wanchai and Hunghom Police Stations to the Police Station at Tsim-sha-tsui, and the flags denoting the arriving vessel (as far as she is known) are then hoisted on the flagstaff at that point.

The posting of the information on the notice board at the Post Office does not appear to have been regularly and systematically done.

7. With regard to the despatch of the signals from Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar announcing the approach of vessels, no instances have been brought to our knowledge where the clerks at these stations have failed to transmit the information when the line has been in proper working order; unfortunately, however, there have been many interruptions at times due to absence of operators whilst interchanging, but chiefly caused by accidents to the line, some of which, comparatively slight in themselves, have been accentuated by the infrequency and insufficiency of ship communication with Gap Rock often preventing the cause of the interruptions being discovered, and the necessary repairs being promptly made. To the desirability of improved means of steam communication with Gap Rock we urge the attention of Government. The reports from Cape D'Aguilar in addition laboured under the disadvantage of having to pass through a number of intermediate stations before arriving at their final destination, and delays, which we believe to have been under existing circumstances mostly un- avoidable, resulted, and in consequence the signalled vessel was often in the harbour before notice of her approach was reported. We may here mention that messages to Tsim-sha-tsui formerly passed through the Observatory, but we do not consider it necessary to further refer thereto, that station having been abandoned for transmission purposes prior to the commencement of this enquiry.

8. Another cause for the non-report of approaching vessels is that some of these pass the distant stations before 6 a.m. or after 6 p.m. when as there is no Telegraph Clerk at the Post Office to receive the message the information is not forwarded. Still another cause appears to be that few passing vessels hoist their numbers, whilst many show no distinguishing flag and some do not even fly their National Ensign.

9. We are of opinion that in order to derive the greatest possible advantage from the system of signalling vessels from the two distant stations of Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar it is necessary,

(a) That the lines of communication should be as nearly as practicable direct.

(b) That from daylight to dusk vessels approaching the distant stations should be signalled and reported and in the event of the signalman not being able to distinguish a vessel's

name when passing, that he should at once signal to her to hoist her number and national flag.

1122

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH NOVEMBER, 1893.

(c) That the reporting station at Kowloon should be in as prominent a position as possible. (d) That every vessel signalled should be at once reported on the Post Office Notice Board

in accordance with the annexed form.*

(e) That the Government should give official notice in the Gazette, and otherwise as may be deemed necessary, that Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouses are now Signalling Stations, and should invite all vessels when passing these Stations bound for Hongkong to hoist their number and national flag.

10. With regard to the first of these conditions, the communication from Gap Rock is at the present time direct to the Post Office, but that from Cape D'Aguilar passes through too many intermediate stations to be efficient. We therefore recommend that a separate wire be laid between Shaukiwan and Hongkong on the existing posts, thus completing a direct line between Cape D'Aguilar and Hongkong. Also that the present Telephone instrument at Cape D'Aguilar be replaced by the Morse Telegraph.

11. As to the second point we are of opinion that the suggested hours of looking out are longer than should be imposed on one man. We are agreed that the duty of looking out for as well as telegraphing vessels should not devolve on the European Lightkeepers in addition to their other duties, but we consider the telegraphing alone can be done by them if the look out is kept by men specially detailed for that purpose. We therefore recommend :-

(a) That at Gap Rock two Natives be appointed whose duty it shall be to keep a look out

for vessels and report to the Lightkeeper.

(b) That the duty of telegraphing from Gap Rock the approach of vessels as well as all other messages in connection with the working of the Light house and the meteoro- logical returns therefrom be vested in the Lightkeepers, and that for the performance of this special service they receive additional remuneration.

(c) That in view of the probable early disestablishment of Cape D'Aguilar Light and the continuation of the station for signalling purposes, a Telegraph Clerk and watchman be engaged for duty there in connection with the signalling of vessels by means of the Morse system of Telegraphy.

(d) That the two signal stations of Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar be placed in direct communication with the Offices of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company it having been ascertained that arrangements can be made with that Company :-

(1) To receive and despatch all messages to and from the above stations and

transmit them to their respective destinations, and

(2) To distribute notices of arriving vessels to such persons or firms as the

Government may direct.

12. We understand that the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company are willing to undertake, free of charge, to receive the messages from the Telegraph Company if the Government will supply and keep in order at their Kowloon Offices a Morse Telegraph instrument, and further that if a Telephone line be established from that Office to a proposed Flag Signal Station on Blackhead's Hill, they will forward the messages to that point.

13. We consider the flagstaff at Tsim-sha-tsui unsuitably placed for reporting vessels and recom- mend that its use for that purpose be discontinued, and that a new station, &c. be established on the hill known as Blackhead's Hill, where a signalman and a watchman should be employed; also that the signals made at Kowloon be repeated at the Peak flagstaff and vice-versa.

14. With reference to the distribution of notices by the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company alluded to above, we consider that these should be sent to:-

(a) The Harbour Office.

(b) The Post Office.

(c) Central Police Station.

(d) The Health Officer.

(e) Such firms as signify their desire for information regarding vessels consigned to them and

who pay an annual fee of $20.

15. We wish to remark that though the evidence taken shows but few specific complaints of vessels not having been reported in the past, we believe that there have been grounds for complaint which have not been put forward in evidence. There also appears to have been a divided responsibi- lity in the matter of the signalling and reporting which was unfavourable to the investigation of complaints and the removal of the causes thereof.

* See annexure (1).

{

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH NOVEMBER, 1893. · 1123

The recommendations now made will, however, permit of the signalling and reporting being under the supervision of the Harbour Master, and we consider it most desirable that the Government should appoint a permanent Committee of three representatives of shipping interests who, when necessary, could be consulted by the Harbour Master and would confer with him respecting matters they wish to bring to his notice, and would also be the recognised means of communication with that Department respecting any further improvements which the shipping community might desire to

suggest.

16. We are agreed that these proposals if carried out will ensure an improved system of signalling and reporting vessels; they entail a moderate outlay and a small increase in annual* expenditure for upkeep, but we consider these necessary to provide an efficient service.

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

17. The practice of employing a non-commissioned officer in selling by auction such of the effects of a deceased Officer or soldier as are not otherwise disposed of, will be adopted only in cases in which it appears to be most advantageous for the estate of the deceased. When much trouble and responsibility are thrown upon the non-com- missioned officer by his being so employed, a commission, payable out of the effects, a rate varying from two to five per cent. on the amount of the produce of the sale, according to the greater or less degree of trouble and responsibility thereby caused, may be paid to him, and charged in the statement of the accounts of the deceased, the man's receipt for the amount being annexed thereto, together with the certificate of the Commanding Officer that his employment as auctioneer was most advantageous for the estate, and that the duties performed by him justify the remuneration charged.

(Section 6 of the Act, § (4).)

18. The Committee of Adjustment will discharge all debts that have accrued in the same station, colony, or command, which are proved to their satisfaction, except where the death occurs in India, and the deceased is not a soldier of Her Majesty's British Forces, in which case their discharge is provided for in Section 26 of the Act and paragraph 54 of these regulations.

This receipt, together with the inventory and the account of debts and credits, will be transmitted by the Committee of Adjustment to the Secretary of State for War, through the Officer Commanding at the station.

20. Where the deceased was a non-commissioned officer or man serving in Her Majesty's British Forces, then, where the death occurs in India, the Committee of Adjustment will lodge the surplus in the hands of the Officer paying the corps, who will credit the amount in the next Casualty Return. Where the death occurs elsewhere than in India the surplus will be credited in the Pay List of the troop, squadron, battery, or company to which the deceased belonged.

21. Where the death occurs in India, the deceased not being a non-commissioned officer or man serving in Her Majesty's British Forces, the Committee of Adjustment will remit the surplus to the Military Secretary to the Government of the Presidency in which the deceased was quartered.

In every case the Officer present at the sale of effects will furnish a certified statement of the particulars thereof, which will be attached to the original inventory and account, and he will cause the amount produced by such sale to be carried to the credit of the account.

24. In cases in which paragraph 20 applies, the Paymaster or other Officer paying the corps will ascertain that all the articles reported in the inventory furnished to him as forthcoming are accounted for in the particulars of the sale, and will annex the inventory and account, and the particulars of the sale, to the current Account or Casualty Return rendered by him, and will state therein the balance, debtor or creditor. In cases in which paragraph 21 applies, the Military Secretary will have the inventory and account, and the statement of the particulars of the sale, compared and examined.

25. Where a regiment of Her Majesty's British Forces is stationed in India, monthly Casualty Returns, made up according to the printed form, will be transmitted to the Secretary of State for War through the Controller of Military Accounts in the Presidency, and sums therein mentioned will be stated in sterling money.

With respect to Her Majesty's Indian Forces, similar returns will be transmitted to the Secretary of State in Council of India.

26. Casualty Returns from India will specify in each case whether the deceased was known to be possessed of property of any description whatever besides that stated in the Casualty Return, but not actually realized when the return is made. If any such other property is known, a statement of the particulars thereof, made out in duplicate, will be forwarded with the Casualty Return, and a memorandum will be annexed thereto of the steps that have been taken for recovering or realizing the same under the Act. If no such other property is known, a memorandum to that effect will be made on the Casualty Return.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH NOVEMBER, 1893.

37. The kit of an apprentice will be disposed of as provided in the Clothing Regula- tions, and should he be in possession of any plain clothes when claimed by his master, such clothes will not be sold but returned to the man.

38. In the case of the desertion of a soldier the effects will be sold as soon as may be convenient after he has been declared a deserter, or been absent without leave for 21 days (but within three months from the date of desertion).

7

39. The proceeds of the sale of the effects will be credited in a statement of the deserter's accounts (his "non-effective account "), exhibiting his assets and such of his liabilities as would, under the Act, be preferential charges against the estate. Any sum deposited by the soldier in the regimental savings bank will also be credited in the non- effective account.

40. The balance on the non-effective account shall be applied, so far as it will extend, for the purposes and in the order following, that is to say-

(a.) In payment of any debts due to the public on account of articles of public property made away with, or otherwise lost on desertion, and of any other debts that may be due to the public.

(b.) In payment or satisfaction of such other debts or liabilities of or claims against the soldier, as the Secretary of State for War or the Secretary of State in Council of India shall think fit to allow, including herein claims by reason of any criminal or wrongful act of the soldier.

41. Should any balance then remain the amount will be credited in the accounts of the Paymaster or other accountant in whose accounts the pay of the man to the date of desertion is charged.

42. If the soldier shall rejoin or be recovered to the service within three years from the date of desertion, or in the event of his having fraudulently re-enlisted, if such fraudulent re-enlistment has been discovered within that period, any balance left after the settlement of the claims (if any) which may have been payable under paragraph 40, may be applied in

applied in payment of any debts due on account of articles of necessaries issued to the soldier on his rejoining, or of any debts due on account of his re-equipment.

43. If the soldier shall rejoin, or be recovered to the service within one year from the date of desertion, or in the event of his having fraudulently re-enlisted, if such fraudulent re-enlistment has been discovered within that period, any balance left after the settlement of the claims (if any) which may have been payable under paragraphs 40 and 42 may be repaid to the soldier himself.

44. Any balance remaining after the settlement of the claims (if any) which may have been payable under paragraphs 40 and 42, shall at the expiration of three years from the date of desertion, be considered as forfeited, and will be disposed of as the Secretary of State for War or the Secretary of State in Council of India respectively may determine.

45. Any articles of private property which may be in the possession of the deserter on his apprehension, or on his rejoining from desertion, shall be sold, and the proceeds, together with any money of which he may be similarly in possession, shall be applied in payment of the debt (if any) on his non-effective account, and any surplus shall be disposed of as provided in paragraphs 40, 42, and 43. If, however, the deserter be not retained in the service, but discharged, any plain clothes of which he may be in posses- sion shall not be sold, but be utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Clothing Regulations.

46. Should there be reason to believe that any property or money left behind by the soldier on his desertion, or subsequently found in his possession, has been obtained by theft or fraud, the Secretary of State shall be empowered, at his discretion, to restore such property, or to apply the amount realized by the sale thereof, or the amount of such money towards making good the loss caused by the theft or fraud.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH NOVEMBER, 1893.

   47. In the case of a soldier being delivered up as an apprentice, or convicted of felony by the civil power, the surplus remaining in the hands of the Committee of Adjustment, together with any balance of pay that may be due, will be applied in all respects in the same manner as mentioned in paragraphs 40, 42, and 43, except that no payment of the residue, under paragraph 43, shall be made to any soldier convicted of felony until he shall have undergone such punishment as he may have been sentenced to for the same.

48. No sum credited as the balance on a soldier's non-effective account, or as the amount realized by the sale of his private property, will be re-charged without special War Office authority. In applying for such authority it should be stated

1.) On what date the man deserted.

(2.) On what date the man was apprehended, or gave himself up as a deserter, or if he has fraudulently enlisted, on what date such fraudulent enlist- ment was detected.

(3.) What are the debts (if any) due by the man respectively, to (a) the public, (b) the Officer Commanding the troop, squadron, battery or company, (c) to any other persons.

(4.) In what account the sum in question has been credited to the public.

   50. The foregoing regulations relative to the respective cases of death will be applied in a case of insanity, as far as the difference of the circumstances will admit; except that whenever possible the sale of effects will be deferred until, in the case of an Officer, he is removed from the Active List, and in the case of a soldier until he is discharged; and further that the Committee of Adjustment will forthwith remit or lodge the money remaining in their hands to or in the hands of the Army Paymaster, Military Secretary, or other Officer or person to whom or in whose hands they are to remit or lodge the surplus in the respective cases of death, and he will forthwith transmit the same to the Secretary of State for War, or the Secretary of State in Council of India, as the case may require.

   51. The same will be then, with all convenient speed, applied for the benefit of the Officer or soldier to whom it belongs, in such manner as the Secretary of State for War or the Secretary of State in Council of India (as the case may be) in his discretion thinks fit.

(Section 26 of the Act, § (1).)

52. As soon as possible after receiving the surplus from the Committee of Adjust- ment, the Military Secretary will cause the notice under Section 26 of the Act, § (1), to be published by advertisement in the Government Gazette of the Presidency in which the deceased was quartered.

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

 2. The purchaser of any Postal Note may, before parting with it, fill in the name of the Payee, and also the name of the Office where payment is to be made; if this is not done the Note is payable (within six months) to bearer at any of the above places.

5. If a Postal Note be crossed

 6. After a Postal Note has once been paid, to whomsoever it is paid, the Government will not be liable for any further claim.

 7. If any erasure or alteration be made, or if the Note is cut, defaced or mutilated, payment may be refused.

 8. The Officer in charge of a Post Office may delay or refuse the payment of a Note, but he must at once report his reasons for so doing to the Postmaster General.

 9. After the expiration of six months from the last day of the month of issue, a Postal Note will be payable only on payment of a commission equal to the amount of the original commission, but after twelve months it will become invalid and not payable.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 25th September last, were read and confirmed.

 NEW MEMBER. EDWARD BOWDLER, Esquire, Special Engineer in charge of the Praya Reclama- tion Works, took the oath of allegiance on his appointment to a seat on the Council in the room of the Director of Public Works absent on leave.

His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

In meeting you again for the resumption of our legislative duties I am not in a position to announce to you any very marked improvement in the financial condition of the Colony. In November last year I expressed a hope that there might be a revival of prosperity in the fortunes of Hongkong during 1893, but although there are not wanting unmistakeable signs of better times in the future, that hope has not been realized to the extent that I anticipated. The Indian Silver Act and the proceedings of the United States Senate in reference to the Sherman Act have naturally affected the business of this Community as well. as the business of the entire East. The dollar has fallen to an unprecedentedly low value, and the loss by Exchange in many of the transactions of this Government has, of course, been considerable.

Recently we have certainly not been troubled by many fluctuations in the rate of Exchange, and with the dollar at 2/4 or thereabouts, as it has been for the last 3 or 4 months, we may hope that silver has "touched bottom," and that a permanent rise in value may be the next change. But with the uncertainty that still surrounds this intricate and difficult question we cannot look for any early influx of capital into the Colony, or for any great increase in business unless some fixed international ratio should be established.

As the President of the United States recently observed, "what we want is good, sound "and stable money and a condition of confidence which will keep it in use.' As the standard of value in a portion of the world is silver, and in the other part is in gold, commerce requires a steady par of Exchange between Gold and Silver.

There is, however, one point in connection with this subject to which I would call particular attention, and that is, that the fall of silver and the action of the Indian Govern- ment in regard to it, besides having improved the position of the tea-grower and exporter, has put new ventures, and profitable ones, within the reach of capitalists in China and Japan, as well as in this Colony. The Chinese are slow to begin anything new, but if the present state of affairs continues they will be compelled to produce and export many articles which they have hitherto imported from European and other countries.

The Japanese are quite alive to the situation so far as it concerns them, and are not only erecting new Cotton Mills, to the number of 20 it is said, but are about to take the Import Duty off Raw Cotton. It is possible therefore that we may soon see Japan, for a time, supplying China with goods which she formerly obtained from Europe or India. It seems anomalous that whilst England should be striving to extend her commerce and com- mercial relations in China on the one hand, she should on the other be countenancing measures which apparently have the effect of creating competition against herself and her own produc- tions in the East.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH DECEMBER, 1893.

1197

Under these circumstances the attention of the Community should be directed to the desirability of establishing Cotton Mills in Hongkong. The Government is in possession of several eligible sites, and if only capitalists, either European or Chinese, will come forward and invest their capital in such enterprises I will endeavour that so far as the acquisition of land is concerned they shall be treated with exceptional liberality. The success which has attended other efforts of this nature in Hongkong ought, under these favourable circum- stances, to lead to the introduction of additional local Industries, such as Cotton Spinning and Weaving, and no more fitting time than the present seems likely to occur. This matter is worthy therefore of the earnest consideration not only of this Community, but of capitalists in the neighbouring provinces in China.

In connection with the fall of silver and the scarcity of the circulating medium in Hong- kong and elsewhere in the East, it is probable, unless the Japanese Yen is made a legal tender, that action will shortly be taken in the direction of the coinage of a British Dollar. I under- stand that some of the Banks are in favour of this step, and that they have arrived at their conclusion in consequence of the lengthened period during which the Mexican Exchange has been unable to adapt itself to the fall in the price of silver. Should any application from the Banks in Hongkong urging the coinage of, and introduction into the Colony, of a British Dollar be received by the Government, I will use all my influence with the Home Government in support of that request.

I now lay upon the table the Estimates for 1894 and will briefly refer to their leading features.

The Estimated Revenue for 1893 was $1,906,396.

The Estimated Ordinary Expenditure $1,899,375, leaving a surplus of only $7,021. So far as can be judged the Revenue for 1893 will be about $2,050,000 and the Ex- penditure, exclusive of Extraordinary Expenditure chargeable against the Loan, will be about $1,940,000.

It will thus be seen that the Revenue of 1893 will probably be about $110,000 in excess of the Ordinary Expenditure, and consequently about $140,000 in excess of the Estimate.

This surplus is nearly accounted for by an increase in the amount of fees received for the Examination of Emigrants, and the profit on an increased import of Subsidiary Coins, which profit was $56,000 over the Estimate. Ample supplies of these Coins will be ordered as required; but absolute reliance cannot, of course, be placed on them as a source of steady Revenue.

The Estimated Revenue for 1894 is $2,007,210 and the Estimated Ordinary Expenditure $1,982,745. To this Expenditure must, however, be added $16,000 expended on Roads in Kowloon, and new streets in Kennedy Town which is chargeable against Current Revenue bringing the total Expenditure up to $1,998,745. These Estimates have been framed with the greatest possible caution, and show a probable Surplus of Revenue over Expenditure at the end of 1894 of,$8,465. As in 1893 it may perhaps be found that the Revenue has been under-estimated, but it would not be safe to count upon such a contingency.

On an examination of the Estimates you will observe that the increased Expenditure of 1894 over that of 1893 is principally accounted for by the following items:----

Public Debt Military

Post Office

Pensions

Police

....

.$30,236

37,647

15,880

6,860

6,992

Making a total of.........$97,615

Owing to the fall in Exchange the provision for the Military Contribution alone in 1894, exceeds that of 1893 by $37,647. In 1891 the Colony found $228,572 for that pur- pose, it now has to find $320,000.

It is in a measure satisfactory that the Colony has not yet been, and I trust will not be hereafter, called upon to raise additional taxation to meet the many additional charges imposed upon it by the falling value of silver.

When the Appropriation Bill is moved the Public Officers specially concerned there- with' will doubtless give you fuller information in regard to these items if you should desire

it.

1198

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH DECEMBER, 1893.

At the close of last Session the vexed question of Gaol Extension was happily settled. I take this opportunity of repeating that the Government as well as the tax-payers are indebted to the Unofficial Committee appointed by me for their assistance in this matter which enabled a fair and reasonable compromise to be effected. In November 1892, when it was stated that the work would probably cost $250,000, it ought to have been explained that this was simply a rough estimate. The amount which was ultimately voted was But the difference between the based on carefully prepared specifications and estimates.

two amounts, I should add in justice to our able Director of Public Works, was largely due to the Secretary of State having on my recommendation reduced his original requirements between November 1892 and the date on which the final vote was taken.

The Returns respecting the trade and shipping of this Port will, when completed and published, be found exceedingly interesting, not to say remarkable.

During the 10 months ending the 31st October last, there arrived in and sailed from Hongkong 7,243 European-constructed Vessels measuring 8,733,823 tons and 47,525 Junks measuring 3,191,068 tons making a total of 54,768 vessels and 11,924,891 tons.

These vessels carried 6,307,703 tons of cargo (discharged, shipped and in transit), and no less than 1,551,833 passengers.

The figures for the same period in 1892 were 59,380 vessels and 11,703,851 tons. This large number of vessels with a lesser amount of tonnage was mainly due to the employment of numerous small Junks in the local trade connected with the Praya Recla-

mation.

The Returns for 1893 up to date show an increase of 109,000 tons in British ships and of 87,000 tons in Foreign ships of European construction. They also exhibit an increase in the Foreign Junk Trade of 290,000 tons.

During the past 10 months, i.e., from the 1st January to 31st October, Emigration has considerably improved. The number of Emigrants has been 73,265 as against 43,024 during the same period in 1892.

I am, as you are probably aware, anxious that a well organized system of Emigration to certain countries friendly with England should be adopted.

Such a scheme would be of great advantage not merely to this Colony but to thousands of industrious persons in China who have now but little opportunity of making a living, or of even obtaining the barest necessaries of life. It is unfortunate that the Chinese Government do not seem to view the matter in this light and no doubt recent events in a neighbouring Colony will tend to confirm them in the opinions they are believed to entertain on this subject.

$164,231 The Revenue collected by the Harbour Department up to the 31st October was --showing an increase of $13,970 over the sum collected for the same period in the previous

year.

With reference to Crime I may mention that the number of cases tried in the Supreme Court this year was a little above the average of the two preceding years. In 1891 there were 32 cases, in 1892 only 30 cases, the lowest record during the past 10 years. Up to the 30th September last there were 32 cases sent for trial. Two of these were especially serious, viz., that of ALVES for the Treasury defalcations in which the sentence passed was 6 years' imprison- ment with hard labour, and a murder case in which the sentence of death was passed and carried out. Until this penalty was exacted there had been no execution within the Colony for upwards of 10 years.

Amongst the 32 cases there was also one of wounding with intent to murder and 3 of robbery with violence. Out of these 32 charges, however, there was a verdict of acquittal, or no information, or a nolle prosequi in 14 instances, and out of the 47 prisoners brought up for trial 21 were discharged.

During 1893 as in 1892 there was an absence of charges involving offences of a piratical character which is an encouraging feature in the Criminal statistics.

You will be pleased to be assured that owing to past legislation and the efforts of the Police, public gambling in the Colony has practically ceased to exist.

There has also been a great falling off in the number of cases of kidnapping of women and robbery with violence. So far as the Magistrates are able to judge they are of opinion that the Government is to be felicitated on the conspicuous absence of serious crime in Hongkong.

On the other hand I regret to state that during the last few months there have been an unusual number of larcenies of money and valuables by servants from their masters' houses.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH DECEMBER, 1893. 1199

This I attribute in a great measure to losses sustained by servants in the Gambling Houses at Sham Shui Po and Kowloon City. I have addressed the Viceroy of Canton several times on this subject without much effect and am at this moment in correspondence with Her Majesty's Minister at Peking in regard to it. If the Chinese Government refuses to act this Government will be bound to consider whether some restrictions should not be placed on the owners of launches who are known to carry hundreds of gamblers daily between this City and the opposite coast. I shall hope that the Community in general would thoroughly support the Government if such a step should be decided upon.

With regard to Education I have to inform you that in addition to the ten Government Schools which were closed owing to insufficient attendance at the beginning of this year, two other Government Schools have been closed for the same reason. Seven of the less expensive and more popular Grant-in-Aid Schools have taken the place of the Schools thus closed.

Special attention has been bestowed on the educational needs of the Boat Population. For long years this class has been somewhat neglected. The extent of School accommoda- tion for them is now ample. It consists of 38 Private and 8 Public Schools in working order. The total number of Scholars is 1,578. Aberdeen has been supplied with a Grant-in-Aid School. I have recently appointed a Chinese School. Attendance Officer with a view of stimulating the attendance at Schools of the Boat children in particular, and of Chinese children in general.

In the matter of additional accommodation local school managers have of late been particularly active. The Berlin Foundling House, the Roman Catholic Mission at Shauki- wan and the Basel Mission at To-kwa-Wan have this year provided new and suitable school buildings for the Chinese poor.

The Code of Regulations for Educational Grants-in-aid has been revised with the aim of raising the standard of Education.

Arrangements have been made by the Government to bring the West Point Reformatory under the provisions of Ordinance No. 19 of 1886 as a Certified Reformatory School for the reception of juvenile offenders. I trust that this will have the effect of reducing the gaol population and of preventing the contamination of the young which is certain to occur when they are brought into contact with the old offenders.

For the benefit of the Government Central School for Girls a Member of this Council has erected a handsome three-storied building which will soon be handed over to the Go- vernment.

Physical Drill, which was introduced a short time since in 11 schools, has during this year been carried a step further by the superaddition of a Cadet Corps subject to inspection by the military authorities. This Corps is popular, and in many ways and especially so far as physique and discipline are concerned will prove of great benefit to those who belong to it, or who may hereafter join it.

The need of a fixed standard of Chinese orthography in connection with local examin- ations has long been recognized. At the suggestion of the Government it has at last been supplied by the Revd. Dr. CHALMERS whose work in this, as in other cases, is admitted, by those who are capable of judging, to be a monument of learning and industry.

Examinations have been held for the Diploma of the College of Preceptors, and for London matriculation purposes. In addition to the Oxford Local Examinations provision has been made for the re-introduction into Hongkong of Cambridge Local Examinations.

These facts indicate not only progressive movement, but prove that as far as circum- stances will admit local Education is being assimilated to the system in force in the Educa- tional Institutions of the Mother Country.

I referred just now to the Cadet Corps, and some mention of the Volunteer Force should not be omitted. It numbers about 90 and every effort has been made to increase its numbers but without much result. It can therefore only be said that whilst it forms a most valuable nucleus, its practical utility depends upon its further expansion.

The Officers and especially the Commandant have done all in their power to ensure its being a success and active preparations are being made for its taking part in the mobilization of the Garrison in January. The new head quarters are nearing completion and will be a great convenience to members of the Force. I much wish that the Volunteer movement was looked on with greater favour, and received greater support from the Community generally than it appears to do at present.

There is every probability of Hongkong being shortly put into telegraphic communica- tion with the outer world, independently of connection with any Foreign territory. This is a subject of congratulation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH DECEMBER, 1893.

So far as I am aware it will not be necessary to trouble you with legislation of any importance in the near future so that we may anticipate an unusually short session.

I am in communication with the Viceroy of Canton and Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in Peking in reference to the opening up of the West River to Foreign trade, and also in regard to the question of preferential duties granted on junk carried tea to the detriment of Foreign shipping. These are two weighty matters affecting existing trade and its possible extension. A favourable solution of them would be hailed with great satisfaction by me in consequence of the undoubted benefits which would accrue therefrom to the Mercantile Community of Hongkong.

And here, Gentlemen, it is not inappropriate for me to refer to the happy relations which for the last two years have existed between the Government and the Chamber of Commerce and which it will always be my endeavour to maintain unimpaired.

We have to be thankful for exemption from serious epidemic or destructive storms in 1893. In the late typhoon it is true that Gap Rock Light was considerably injured and that costly repairs will have to be effected; but otherwise thanks to the timely warnings issued from the Observatory the damage done to property was infinitesimal, and little or no loss of life occurred.

The general behaviour of the Chinese during the past year has been most exemplary, and the criminal class has largely decreased.

In conclusion, Gentlemen, I shall not lay myself open to the charge of being over-sanguine when I assert that there is distinct evidence that the condition of the Chinese Community is improving, that business is more settled, and that the prospects are better than they have been at any time during the past three years. It is my earnest desire, in which you will cordially join, that still brighter and happier times may be at no distant date in store for all classes of Residents in this important and progressive Colony.

RULES

1203

Made by the Chief Justice, under Section 24 of "The Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873," (No. 12 of 1873), for the taxing of costs in

the Summary Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

1. In the following Rules the expressions "exceeding" and "not exceeding" refer in the case of a Plaintiff to the amount recovered and in the case of a Defendant to the amount claimed.

2. In actions or proceedings other than those for the recovery of money and in actions where claims for the recovery of money are joined with other claims, the Judge having regard to the value and nature of the subject matter of the action or proceeding, shall direct under which of the scales hereinafter set forth the costs (if any) shall be taxed.

3. Notwithstanding anything in these Rules to the contrary, the Judge, if of opinion that the action involved a novel or difficult point of law, or that the question litigated was of importance to some class or body of persons, or of general or public interest, may award costs under Scale IV to the Plaintiff on any amount recovered however small, or to the Defendant who successfully defends an action brought for any amount however small; and in actions other than those for the recovery of a debt or liquidated demand in money the Judge, if he shall think that the preparation or conduct of the case has involved unusual trouble or difficulty or for other good cause shown, may in awarding costs, direct that they shall be taxed on any scale higher than that hereinafter made applicable.

4. Subject as aforesaid no costs shall be allowed in actions not exceeding $10, and in other actions costs shall be taxed and allowed in accordance with the following scales as well between Solicitor and client as between party and party. Provided that where a client shall have paid or agreed to pay a sum of money for the conduct of any suit or proceeding, or has agreed to pay costs and charges beyond those provided for in these Rules, the taxing officer may, as between Solicitor and client, allow any costs or charges not exceeding the amount which may have been paid or agreed to be paid.

   5. Occasional costs shall only be allowed where from the nature of the case it was reasonable and necessary that they should be incurred.

6. In awarding the costs of any action or proceeding the Judge may at the hearing, for good cause shown, disallow the costs of any particular matter in connection with such action or proceeding.

7. These Rules shall come into force on the 1st day of January 1894, and shall apply only to actions and other proceedings brought and commenced on or after the said date.

The Treasurer of Ceylon, on behalf of the Government, invites Tenders for the above amount of Stock, to be issued and inscribed under the provisions of "The Ceylon Inscribed Rupee Stock Ordinance, 1892."

The Loan is secured on the general revenue of the Colony, and the principal will be repayable at par on the 1st February, 1944, by a sinking fund of 1 per cent. per annum, to be formed under the management of the Auditor-General and Treasurer, who are appointed Trustees.

Principal and interest will be payable at the Treasury at Colombo.

If the price of the Stock be below par at the time when the contributions to the sinking fund are received, the Trustees are empowered to purchase therewith the Stock in the market, cancelling in the register the Stock so purchased.

The Stock will be transferable by agreement in writing, without charge, and free of stamp duty. Tenders will be received at the Treasury at Colombo until 1 P.M. on Monday, the 15th January, 1894, and will be opened in the presence of such of the applicants as may attend.

Five per cent. on application, and the balance on or before the 1st February, 1894.

The first payment must accompany the Tender, and the subsequent payment is to be made at the Treasury not later than the date above mentioned.

The allotments will be made to the highest bidders, provided the rates offered are not below Rs 1,000 in money for every Rs 1,000 of Stock. In the event of the receipt of Tenders in excess of the amount to be allotted at or above the minimum price, the Tenders at the lowest price accepted will be subjected to a pro rata diminution.

If no allotment be made, the amount forwarded with the Tender will be returned in full, and if a portion only of the amount applied for be allotted, the surplus will be appropriated towards the payment of the second instalment.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters of practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect in 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 philo- logical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, nach containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Nurnames, 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 of practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect in 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 philo- logical guide to the student.

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

Part III. M-T. Part IV, T-Y,

This Standard Work the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters of practicaluse, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect in 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 philo- logical 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.
