This StandardWork 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 Mandariu 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 LanguageofChiun, 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 Furnames, will

be published and sold separately.

2. Two range poles erected on the rocky shore (Chung-chih-kuan) opposite the W. C. de Vries Rock, one high and one low-the lower being nearer to the channel-will lead clear of the Huquang Rock, and give a nearly mid-channel course.

From the high pole a 360° Red, Dioptric 6th Order Light, will be exhibited from dark to daylight, visible about 4 miles, and from the short pole an ordinary white anchor light. These lights will, when kept in a vertical line as stated above, lead clear of the Huquang Rock, and give a nearly mid-channel course.

　3. Two range poles erected on the right bank of the river, opposite the Huquang Rock, one high and one low-the lower being the nearer to the river-cach pole carrying an ordinary white anchor light will, when kept in a vertical line, lead clear of the W.

Your Excellency's obedient Servant,

E. R. FREMANTLE,

Vice-Admiral.

Governor,

HONGKONG.

Visit to Sand Island, Pescadores, by H.M.S. "Porpoise."

　Her Majesty's Ship Porpoise arrived off the Western side of Sand Island on 31st December, 1893, at 7 A.M., a fresh breeze blowing at the time which made communication difficult.

　2. A working party in charge of an Officer was at once sent on shore with appliances for bring- ing off the "skid" which was left by H.M.S. Mercury, but nothing of the kind was to be found, although the whole island underwent the most careful search by the party who landed; it is presumed that Chinese fishermen must have broken it up and carried it away for firewood. Two Chinese fisher- men however were found living in a small hut on the island and though the skid was described to them they denied any knowledge of having seen it.

　3. I inspected the graves and found them all in good order and quite untouched by any maraud- ing Chinese or fisherman and nothing required doing to them excepting perhaps substantial crosses fixed over the grave mounds to make the respective places more prominent. The two fishermen. already alluded to explained, through an interpreter, that there was no fear of anyone molesting the graves or obelisk.

　4. I walked around every part of the island and saw nothing further of interest. The obelisk appears firmly planted on the top of the Northern hill and can be seen a long distance, in fact in clear weather it can be made out from the lighthouse, a distance of 10 miles, the keeper informing me he had often made it out.

The words on the obelisk are as follows:--

"Erected by the residents of Hongkong in memory of those who perished in the wreck of

"the S.S. Bokhara on the 10th October, 1892."

I was somewhat surprised to find that the names of the Europeans who were lost on this sad occasion were omitted.

5. Mr. B. WATKINS, Engineer of this ship, accompanied me on shore and various photographic views of the obelisk and scene of the disaster were taken, which will be duly forwarded when they are completed.

　6. I think we were fortunate in successfully landing. The Sampson was employed on the wreck of the Bokhara from October, 1892, to May, 1893, during which time she had only 16 working days, which shows how rare occasions are on which a landing on Sand, and neighbouring islands, can be effected during the N.E. monsoon, which wind prevails at the Pescadores 9 months out of the year.

7. There is nothing left to be seen of the Bokhara above water, but I am informed in calm weather the boilers and engines can be distinctly made out at the bottom in about eight fathoms. I went to look at the place where she was wrecked, but in consequence of the heavy surf could not get close enough to see for myself.

8. H.M.S. Porpoise, having performed the duties on which she was sent, left Sand Island on 31st December, 1893, at 9.30 A.M. and arrived at Hongkong on the 1st January, 1894.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1894. 31

Presentation to the Brigadier-General of the Pescadores.

On Her Majesty's Ship Porpoise anchoring in Makung Harbour, Pescadores Islands, which took place on the 28th December, 1893, at 11.30 A.M. I made an official call on Brigadier-General WANG, the Chinese Governor and General in command of the troops and forts in the Pescadores, and was received with due ceremony.

2. I informed him that I had come in compliance with instructions received from my Commander- in-Chief, Vice Admiral The Honourable Sir E. R. FREMANTLE, K.C.B., C.M.G., to thank him on behalf of Her Majesty the QUEEN and the British Government for his special exertions in assisting and succouring the survivors of the P. & O. S.S. Bokhara as well as in keeping guard over the wreck and graves, on that unfortunate occasion, adding that I had brought with me a presentation from Her Majesty the QUFEN, which had been forwarded from England to Her Minister in Peking, and that I would be glad to hand it to him on board H. M. S. Porpoise whenever it would be convenient for him to return my visit.

3. This Brigadier-General WANG did at 4.00 P.M. the same day and he was received on the Quarter- deck by all the Officers and Ship's Company, the Officers being in epaulettes and swords, the men being under arms.

4. As he arrived on board a salute of 13 guns was accorded him, at the same time the men under arms came to the present."

5. On handing the silver plate I informed General WANG that Admiral FREMANTLE had instructed me to convey his compliments, and to inform him that he had specially selected myself for this service in consequence of H. M. S. Porpoise being instrumental in bringing the survivors of the Bokhara to Hongkong, and added that it gave me great pleasure to be so selected and be present on such an occasion and assured the General that not only the British community in China was grateful for his humanity and kindness on the occasion of the loss of the Bokhara, but the British nation as a whole. He replied in a few suitable words and I feel quite sure was much gratified with his reception and gift.

6. The Quarter-deck on which the ceremony took place was appropriately decorated, and at its termination General WANG and his staff were entertained in the after cabin; 50 of his own people were on board witnessing the presentation, they all having come on board in a small Chinese Gunboat. 7. General WANG left the ship at 6.00 P.M., the same courtesies being accorded him on leaving as on arriving.

8. The fort very promptly returned both salutes.

9. I was fortunate arriving when I did as the General informed me that in three days' time he is leaving the Pescadores for Tamsui to take up a new appointment in Formosa, his relief at Lis present post having already arrived.

10. I decided that the ceremony should take place on board the Porpoise rather than on shore as being more suitable for such an occasion.

11. Before leaving the ship General WANG kindly asked myself and all the officers to dine with him at his official residence, and invitations were sent the following morning, the 29th instant, for the dinner to take place in the afternoon at 4.00 P.M. of the same day.

　　12. As it was quite impossible to leave the port for the purpose of visiting Sand Island on account of a full gale of wind blowing, the invitations were accepted and the Chinese Gunboat came out and brought myself and four officers into the inner harbour.

13. Chairs were waiting at the landing place attended by an escort of 25 soldiers, and on our arrival at the Yamen to the time of our departure I witnessed the most interesting Chinese spectacle since I have been in China in connection with this presentation. The courts or yards of the Yamen and for some distance outside the building were lined with soldiers under arms, with their banners, &c., through which the chairs passed, the escort leading the way. The General in full uniform received us at the entrance of the audience room, at the same time the troops saluted and their band played as the usual three guns were fired, which announces an official call. We were shown to seats in the room-a very large one-being lined with soldiers under arms all around it. In the centre of the room a large cushion was placed, and in front of it, resting on a sort of dais was the silver salver, also on a cushion and surrounded with different sorts of silk stuff, the whole lit up by four large bronze candlesticks. When all was ready and everybody in their places, the room being quite full to the number of about 250 people, the General proceeded to the cushion and knelt down nine times making deep obeisance to the silver presentation in front of him, whilst the soldiers presented arins and the band played, amidst the sound of thousands of crackers being fired outside; it was explained to me that this is a very exceptional ceremony by an Official of his rank and only gone through on such rare occasions as the present, that is to say when an Official has been honoured with special notice by Royalty or some Foreign Government, and is precisely the same ceremony shown as if Royalty were

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1894. -

really present. When the General had gone through his formalities, batches of nine, under mandarins, at a time presented themselves in line before him, knelt, and made their obeisance to him in the same manner, in recognition of the honour that has lately been shown the General. There were three or four lots that went through this ceremony. I was informed they consisted of Officers and Officials of the forts, &c. From the beginning to the end the effect was very striking. As darkness had come on the Hall in which we were was lit up with numerous large and curious coloured lamps, not the usual Chinese lanterns I have been accustomed to see. The ceremony being over, the soldiers, Officials and people disappeared immediately, leaving only the General with his Staff with ourselves, a large table was brought in and placed in the middle of the room, already laid for dinner which was served as soon as chairs were placed. The dinner was half foreign and half Chinese style, and very well done. Speeches were exchanged and duly explained by the interpreters who were present for this purpose. At 9.30 P.M. the dinner being concluded we took our leave of the General and were taken to the landing place in the chairs, the troops were under arms by torchlight and three guns were fired as we passed the gates of the Yamen. The same escort attended us back as on our arriving; evidently the early hour of 4.00 P.M. Hamed for dinner was to have time to enable us to witness the troops, &c. fallen in by daylight.

　　14. I have perhaps gone rather unnecessarily into details with reference to the whole ceremonies, which have been gone through on both sides, but the occasion being an exceptional one I considered it called for exceptional description.

　　15. There were two excellent interpreters, one furnished from the shore and one already on board the ship.

16. The letter for Brigadier-General WANG from the British Legation was duly delivered to him.

This Standard Work on the "hinese 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.

Wherever practic- able, the rain-water down-pipes on the street side of buildings, shall be carried under the footpath and discharge into the side channel.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET, 15th December, 1893.

　SIR,With reference to the Earl of Derby's Circular despatch of the 6th of March, 1883, I have the honour to transmit to you, for information and publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of an Order of Her Majesty in Council modifying the provisions of the Order in Council of the 14th of February, 1883, in regard to the mode of estimating the net registered tonnage of Italian Ships.

I have the honour to be,

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR,

The 23rd day of November, 1893. PRESENT,

RIPON.

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

　Whereas by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships for the time being in force under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, therein called the principal Act, have been adopted by the Government of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by Order in Council to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers, and thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be re-measured in any port or place in Her Majesty's dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted on their certificates of registry or other papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificates of registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships:

　And whereas Her Majesty, by Order in Council dated the 30th day of September, 1873, was pleased to direct that merchant, sailing, and steam ships, belonging to the Kingdom of Italy, the measurement whereof had, after the first day of July one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such ships testified by the dates thereof, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their registers or other national papers, in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificates of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships; provided nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any Italian steamship should desire the deduction for engine-room in such ship to be estimated under the rules for engine-room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the Italian rule, the engine room should be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules:

　And whereas Her Majesty by Order in Council dated the 14th day of February 1883, was pleased to declare that (the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to the steamships of Italy, having been modified by Royal Decree of His Majesty the King of Italy, dated the 30th day of July 1882), the steamships of Italy, the certificates of Italian nationality and registry of which were dated on or after the 21st day of September 1882, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said certificates of Italian nationality and registry.

　And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that it is expedient that certain additions. should be made to the provisions of the said last recited Order in Council in regard to the mode of estimating the net registered tonnage of Italian ships.

　NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty in virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said recited Acts, and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is further pleased to direct as follows, viz., that in the event of the net registered tonnage of Italian ships, estimated under the British rules, being denoted on their Certificates of Registry or other national papers, the same shall be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted therein.

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- loxical 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 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 us-fulness 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 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.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 66.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the collision of the British Steam-ship Hangchow, Official No. 91,878 of London, and an unknown vessel, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd February, 1894.

FINDING.

G. T. M. OBRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

　　We find that the British Steam-ship Hangchow, Gfficial No. 91,878 of London, of which CHARLES JAMES DERBY was Master, the number of whose Certificate of Competency is 08,040, left Hongkong in ballast bound for Shanghai on the morning of the 8th February.

That all went well till about 11 P.M. when off Breaker Point the Hangchow was in collision with

an unknown vessel.

　　It appears from the evidence that the mast-head light of the unknown vessel was first sighted by the Second Officer about a point on the port bow and he after watching it for some little time concluded that the vessel carrying it was closing him and he therefore ported about a point. About five minutes after this he saw the three lights of the approaching vessel about half a point on his port bow and not more than two ship's lengths off, he then ordered the helm hard aport and reversed the engines going down himself at that time to call the Captain. About a minute from the time of his reversing the engines the collision took place, the Hangchow striking the stranger a slanting blow about amidships on the starboard side.

　　There being no evidence from the other side the Court do not concern themselves with expressing an opinion as to the causes which led to the collision, merely observing that the action of the Second Officer in porting on the first occasion probably did not increase the danger of the position.

　　After the collision the vessels cleared each other and the position of each relative to the other after this would be problematical except for the evidence of the Captain-for the only two certificated officers carried were busily engaged in seeing the Captain's orders with reference to the management of the Hangchow carried out and had no time to observe the movements of the other vessel;-but it seems that the two did not separate far, probably not more than four or five ship's lengths, a blue- light was shown by the stranger and answered by the Hangchow, but how these were understood is not clear.

　　The stranger's red light was afterwards seen by the Captain of the Hangchow only and that dis- appeared on the starboard bow about 15 minutes after the collision.

　　The Hangchow steamed slowly ahead until about 1.30 A.M. when after a consultation with his officers the Captain decided to put back to Hongkong for repairs.

The damage sustained by the Hangchow is described in a letter (put in marked A) from the Superintendent of the Dock to the Captain and was confined to a broken stem and a hole between the 16 and the 20-foot draught line extending about 5 feet inwards, there was little or no damage above

this.

　　This damage, we are of opinion, might have been caused by collision with a deeply laden ship and as such a ship the S.S. St. Asaph bound from Moji to Hongkong was at or about this spot when the collision took place, and as she has not been heard of since, the conclusion is forced on the Court that she was the other vessel that was in collision, and it would appear that if so the same has proved fatal to her.

　　We are of opinion that the Master of the Hangchow fully recognized the duty of "standing by" after the collision as long as the safety of his own vessel and the lives on board were not unduly endangered thereby, also that the steps taken by him were all taken with this end in view; but while recognizing the danger to the Hangchow, we regret that the Master should have decided to leave the scene of the disaster without even more strenuous efforts being made to discover what had become of the other vessel.

　　The Court do not deal with the Certificates of the Master or Officers and they are therefore returned to them.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 19th day of February, 1894.

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 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.

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 7th March, 1894.

ARATHOON SETH, Clerk of Councils.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend "The Po Leung Kuk

Incorporation Ordinance, 1893."

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

1. This Ordinance shall be read and construed together with Ordinance No. 10 of 1893, hereinafter referred to as "the principal Ordinance."

2. Sections 6, 9 and 19 of the principal Ordinance are hereby repealed.

3. In lieu of section 6, of the principal Ordinance, the words following shall be substituted :-

The Board of Direction shall, subject to the pro- visions of this Ordinance, have full power and authority to govern, direct and decide all matters whatsoever connected with the administration of the affairs of the Society and the accomplishment of the objects and purposes thereof, subject to an appeal to the Governor, as hereinafter provided, and may at discretion depute, by Regulations or otherwise, a portion or the whole of its power and authority to the Elected Committee. 4. In lieu of section 9, of the principal Ordinance, the words following shall be substituted:

All questions which may arise at any meeting of the Board of Direction shall be decided by a majority of votes, and in case of an equality of votes the Pre- sident shall have a casting vote in addition to his original vote. Provided that, in any case in which the Board is divided in opinion, the President or any two members of the Board may demand that the point be referred to the Governor for his decision, which shall, in every such case, be final.

5. In lieu of section 19, of the principal Ordinance, the words following shall be substituted :-

It shall be lawful for the Governor, in his discretion, to direct that the services of certain subordinate Officers and Constables of the Police Force and of certain District Watchmen shall be placed at the dis- posal of the Society on such terms and under such conditions as His Excellency may sanction. Such Officers, Constables and District Watchmen shall regularly report their proceedings to the Captain Superintendent of Police.

Construction.

Repeal.

Substituted section 6.

Substituted section 9.

Substituted section 19.

Reasons.

Sections 3 and 4 amend sections 6 and 9 of The Po Leung Kuk Incorporation Ordinance, 1893, by providing for an appeal to the Governor in cases where the Board of Direction is divided in opinion.

Section 5 requires the officers whose services are placed by the Governor at the disposal of the Society to regularly report their proceedings to the Captain Superintendent of Police.

The provision for appeal will secure some measure of control on the part of the Government over the decisions of the Board in cases of difficulty, should differences arise; while the requirement as to reporting should conduce to co-operation between the Police and the Society and enable the Chief of the Police to know exactly what is being done by the officers of the Society.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

Repeal of part of Section 28 of Ordinance 14 of 1873.

Amendment of section 29 of Ordinance 14 of 1873.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend "The Supreme Court Summary Jurisdiction Ordinance, 1873."

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

1. The words "or of its own motion" and the words "but save as aforesaid, all the provisions of the law in "force in the Colony for the time being relating to Juries "in the Supreme Court, except so far as the same may "provide for the remuneration of Special Jurors shall "apply to juries of three persons empanelled under this "Ordinance" in Section 28 of Ordinance 14 of 1873, are hereby repealed.

2. The words "Witnesses and Special Jurors" in Section 29 of Ordinance 14 of 1873 are hereby repealed, and, in lieu thereof, the words " and witnesses" shall be inserted after the word "parties," in such Section.

Reasons.

It is thought undesirable that the power of the Court, sitting in Summary Jurisdiction, to summon a jury "of its own motion," when neither party applies for such jury, should be continued. It is, moreover, considered desirable that the remuneration of Special Jurors fixed by Section 29 of The Jury Consolidation Ordinance, 1887, should be the same in Civil cases in the Supreme Court whether the Court is exercising its Summary Jurisdiction or otherwise.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend "The Jury Consolidation

Ordinance, 1887."

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof,

as follows:-

1. This Ordinance shall be read and construed together with Ordinance No. 18 of 1887, hereinafter referred to as "the principal Ordinance."

2. Sections 11, 22 and 23 of the principal Ordinance are hereby repealed.

3. In lieu of section 11 of the principal Ordinance, the following words shall be substituted :-

Whenever it shall be requisite to summon a common jury, a Deputy Registrar shall, in the presence of the Registrar, open and draw from the appropriate Ballot Box eighteen names in civil cases, and thirty names in criminal cases, to form a panel, and whenever from any cause the jurors drawn cannot be served, it shall be lawful for a Deputy Registrar to re-open the Ballot Box, and in manner aforesaid draw fresh names there- from as often as may be necessary to secure the full number of jurors required to be drawn. The cards with the names of those who do not actually serve and are not dead or permanently absent or incapacitated shall be returned to the Ballot Box and the cards with the names of those who actually serve shall be locked up in a separate Box until all the names in the Ballot Box are exhausted by subsequent panels, when they shall be returned to the Ballot Box if required for the purposes of the current year.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

4. In lieu of section 22 of the principal Ordinance, the following words shall be substituted :-

In the event of any of the jurors dissenting from the residue, the jury shall retire to consider their verdict and, after reasonable consultation, the verdict in civil cases of a majority and in criminal cases of a majority consisting of not less than five jurors shall be held and deemed to all intents and purposes to be the verdict of the jury. Provided always, that if any person be arraigned for any offence visited by the law with capital punishment, then and in such case the jury must be unanimous in their verdict of guilty or not guilty; but if a majority consisting of not less than five jurors as aforesaid should find such person guilty of a less crime than the capital one, then the finding of such majority shall be the verdict, and sentence shall follow accordingly: and if in any case it may, for any cause, seem to be desirable to the Judge, he may direct the jury to further consider their verdict.

5. In lieu of section 23 of the principal Ordinance, the following words shall be substituted :-

In the event of the death, illness, or default of attendance of any one or two of the jurors during the trial of any suit, action, or information, it shall be lawful for the Court, in its discretion to order the trial of such suit, action, or information, to be proceeded with in like manner as if the full number of jurors had continued to serve on the jury, and any verdict returned by the remaining jurors, or in civil cases by a majority or in criminal cases by a majority consisting of not less than five remaining jurors shall be of equal validity and have the same force and effect as if it had been returned by a jury consisting of the full number of seven jurors. Provided always, that in criminal cases where the offence charged is visited by the law with capital punishment the jury shall not consist of less than seven men. Provided also that it shall be lawful for the Court, instead of proceeding with the trial with the remaining jurors, to cause a new jury to be empanelled, sworn and, if necessary, charged with any prisoner or accused; and the suit, action, or infor- mation shall be tried as if such first jury had not been empanelled.

6. Whenever it may be necessary to summon a jury in the Summary Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, the num- ber drawn to form a panel shall be six. Subject as afore- said, the provisions of this and the principal Ordinance so far as the same are applicable shall apply to such juries.

Section sub- stituted for Section 22 of No. 18 of 1887.

cases.

Reasons.

By The Jury Consolidation Ordinance, 1887, a distinc- tion was made between Civil and Criminal Cases. Actual Service was required in Civil cases to exempt jurors, who were summoned, from further service during the current year until all the other names in the Ballot Box had been exhausted; whereas, in Criminal Cases, summons without actual service procured such exemption. It followed that some jurors might have to serve two or three times in a year, while others, although summoned, were not called upon to serve at all. Section 3 abolishes this distinction with a view of preventing such inequalities.

Sections 4 and 5 require, in Criminal Cases, the assent of not less than five jurors to the verdict. Hitherto, a majority of four to three could return a binding verdict not only in Civil but in Criminal Cases also. This change is thought desirable in Criminal cases. In capital cases, however, a unanimous verdict is still required.

Section 6 supplies the omission of previous Ordinances to specify the number of jurors to be drawn to form a panel where the jury consists of three, in cases within the Supreme Court's Summary Jurisdiction.

VICTORIA COLLEGE,

HONGKONG, 24th January, 1894.

year 1893.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the annual report on Victoria College for the

　1. The total number on the College Roll for the year was 1,012. The fact that Chinese New Year fell so late accounts for the small minimum monthly enrolment, as it is difficult to induce parents to keep their sons at school after their examination is over; so that the January attendance, which is the usual minimum, was further reduced in February. If it had not been for a noticeable falling-off in the latter half of the year, there would have been a much higher average daily attendance, and a considerable increase in fees.

2. The following tables will illustrate the condition of the College during the last ten years:-

　3. REMARKS ON PRECEDING TABLES.-We observe that the number of school-days is pretty uniformly maintained; that the number of school-boys examined is, roughly speaking, two-thirds of the total number on the Roll for the year; and that a high percentage of passes is annually sustained. The average daily attendances were proportionately better in the smaller school (73 per cent.), as might reasonably be expected; it would require an improvement of 5 per cent. in the attendance (68 per cent.) of the boys now on the Roll to equal the former average. The steady increase in fees year by year is very apparent, and the increase is out of all proportion to the corresponding increase in the number of boys on the Roll, for while the latter is barely doubled, the amount of fees is far on the way towards being trebled. In estimating the average expense of each scholar, though the present figure appears high, and only finds a parallel nine years ago, in 1885, we must not fail to remember that if Victoria College had not been built, the recent general increase of salary throughout the Service would have affected the Central School by an annual amount of $5,158, so that in 1888, the last

complete year at the Central School, we find that for purposes of comparison with the present rate of expenditure, instead of $26.48 per head, we must take $37.56 which is evidence that Victoria College costs per head less than the Central School; and further that the actual net expenditure of 1888 would have been $17,642.54, thus showing only $3,762.92 as the increased annual cost of the larger building, with its doubled staff.

Thus the admissions since the opening of the new building, in July 1889, are more than double the highest figure attained at the Central School, which satisfactorily attests the need of the larger accommodation provided by the Government; even though there is no immediate prospect of the occupation of every seat.

5. EFFECT ON THE COLLEGE OF COLONIAL DEPRESSION.-Last year a pessimist letter signed "Never" appeared in one of the local papers in which was foretold with some acrimony the steady downfal of this Colony. "Ever" replied in an optimist strain exuberantly prophesying a magnificent future. Now, are we to suppose that a pre-eminently practical race like the Chinese are unaffected by their own impressions of the outlook of trade and of prospects of demand for employment? It would be exaggeration to suppose that even one-tenth of the Chinese boys who attend this College do so with the object, pure and simple, of acquiring an English education per se; ie., for the mental enlargement and other advantages to be derived from it. Before he can talk English plainly on any other subject, a boy at the bottom of the school will tell you, that his aim is to get dollars, to raise his market value. There is nothing poetic in this aspiration, which cannot be compared with the enthusiastic love of classical study occasionally to be met with among school-boys in England; but it clearly shows the motive power. The deduction is evident. If there is not a steady annually increasing demand for English-speaking clerks, if new hongs, factories, and enterprises of all sorts do not arise; we must not be surprised at a stagnation, nor even at an ebb, in the influx of Chinese pupils. There will be no cause for anxiety until the average daily attendance fall below 653, which is the proportion to be expected from the 700 seats estimated as the necessary accommodation in the new building.

6. SUPPLY FROM GOVERNMENT DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-There is, however, one source of supply which does not appear to satisfy anticipation. I refer to the Government Anglo-Chinese Schools, the total Roll of which in 1892 was 539 while not more than 30 of their boys sought admission to Victoria College. As the total number in 1888 was 426, the increase of 100 in four years shows that these schools have no difficulty in obtaining scholars. Nor is this a matter for surprise when it is remembered that boys in our Lower and Preparatory Schools pay a dollar a month for an elementary English education which in these schools is provided free. The Inspector of Schools has, during the last two years, assured the Government that the majority of these boys are well able to pay the fees charged in the respective classes of Victoria College. The continued annual admission of four scholars from these schools, after competitive examination, to three years' free education at Victoria College, was one of the four questions of Financial Reform discussed in 1892 by the Registrar General, the Inspector of Schools, and myself. For the first time in ten years, no candidates presented themselves in 1893, and we are driven to the conclusion that there is no boy in these schools unable to pay the fees charged here. If this be so, what is to prevent 100 or even 150 boys being annually drafted from these five schools to Victoria College, and the seats thus vacated being occupied by others anxious to obtain free English elementary education? By the present system parents, who are reported to be capable of paying fees, keep their sons for four or five years at a Government Free School, and only send them to Victoria College to complete their education. This seems to be an abuse of the charitable object of the Government in establishing free schools.

7. PROMOTION. Of the 72 Chinese boys forming Classes IA, and IB, on 11th March, 1893, I find from the College Register that 35 per cent. or 25 boys had not exceeded five years in progressing from Class VIII. where they learned the Alphabet, to Class I., where Shakespeare and the higher subjects are taught; but again 13 of these boys took only four years, and two others actually only three years to perform the same feat. The boys themselves deserve great praise for their steady application, but the chief interest in the fact recorded is the incidental evidence it affords to the excellence of the teaching in the Lower and Preparatory Schools, without which foundation, boys so rapidly promoted would have found it impossible to pursue their studies so successfully in the Upper School. There are on the other hand manifest objections to such rapid promotion. Theoretically each boy should

120

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

spend a year in each of the seven sections, in order that the instruction he receives may be properly graduated and matured. There is no objection to clever boys being promoted after half a year's study in the lowest classes; but unfortunately, as I have had occasion to remark more than once before, the classes generally have for the last few years suffered from forced promotions. This is partly due to the transfer from the Central School, explained in the next paragraph, but also largely attributable to the number of boys who leave and are admitted every year. The only cure for the latter evil would appear to be the increased prosperity of the Colony. I need hardly point out that promotions in the Upper School are only made at the beginning of each school

year.

　8. EFFECT OF TRANSFER FROM THE CENTRAL SCHOOL.-I suppose it will occur to but few people to enquire by what steps a school of 556 boys in 1883 developed in 1891 into a college of 1,108. To most it will appear as a sum in simple addition, or perhaps multiplication; but in reality the change was attended with many difficulties. In 1888 the number of the sections forming the Upper School was doubled, as I foresaw that the increased accommodation in this part of the new building would not be supplied by outside demand. After allowing a breathing space of four years, an extra section was added in 1892, another in 1893, and the remaining section will be formed next month, when the scheme devised seven years ago will be complete, and the nine class-rooms on the upper floor will constitute the Upper School. In the year 1882, the number of boys examined in the Upper School was 83 as against 190 just examined. During the last five years there has been an average of nine boys admitted annually to the Upper School from outside the College; the real increase is thus due to internal expansion. It should now be apparent that a continuous strain has been thrown on the whole establishment, by the transfer from the Central School. The strain was heaviest in 1888 and 1889, but it still reveals itself; and it will be a matter of gratification to the masters to know that there is only one more year of sustained extraordinary effort. From March 1895, we shall settle down into a more normal condition, the stage of what we may call corporal growth will be in the past, and we may hope to reap some of the benefits attendant on maturity.

　9. EFFECT OF INCREASE OF UPPER SCHOOL.-I anticipate several advantages from this realisation. of my day-dream; 1o, an increase in revenue from higher fees; 2°, a gradual filling up of vacant seats in the Upper School, which in two or three years should be attended by a further increase in revenue; 3°, a more normal rate of promotion throughout the College in 1895 and henceforth, as referred to in the preceding paragraph; 4°, a steady elevation in the tone of the work, by the removal of this strain; 5°, an improved attendance in the Lower School; for it is to be expected that as there will be only 528 seats available for this part of the College, instead of 660 (as in 1890) boys will be more careful to retain their places as was the case in the limited accommodation of the Central School; 6°, the gradual extinction of the Preparatory School, for we ought soon to be able to require some previous knowledge of English on admission; 7°, an improvement in the results of the Chinese School, for the present ground of complaint, that the classes are unwieldy, will be in part removed by their considerable reduction.

‧

10. EFFECT OF OPENING VICTORIA COLLEGE UPON OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE COLONY.-It has been stated that Victoria College has unduly withdrawn non-Chinese boys from other schools in the Colony. I am happy to say that there is no evidence to support this conjecture, which naturally arose from the total increase of attendance in the present large building. The following table compares the attendances of non-Chinese boys at four schools of the Colony in the years 1888 (being the last year available for statistics at the Central School) and 1892. The figures are taken, as regards this place, from the School Roll, and as regards the other three schools from the reports of the Inspector of Schools. (Note.-Only half the number of the Diocesan boys is given, as the other half, roughly speaking, are in Chinese dress.)

The total non-Chinese attendance at these schools has increased 33 per cent.; but at Victoria College only 25 per cent.; while the Chinese attendance at Victoria College has risen 75 per cent. from 549 in 1888 to 955 in 1892. Thus the increase in numbers of our non-Chinese boys is

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　very far from being equal in proportion to the increase observable amongst our Chinese scholars; and is actually even less than the average increase of demand on education from the non-Chinese sections of the Colonial community.

11. NAME OF THE COLLEGE.--There are no less than five schools in the Colony with the common designation of Victoria, viz., Victoria Portuguese School, Victoria English School (boys), Victoria

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

121

English School (girls), Victoria Home and Orphanage, and Victoria College. The first object in selecting a name for a school should be that it would be distinctive; for this purpose I recommend that this College should be re-christened Queen's (or Royal) College, names already chosen for Government Colleges in many other colonies. As a special reason for preferring the title Queen's .College, I would refer to the remarks made by Sir GEORGE BOWEN, when he announced that his recommendation that the new building should be called Victoria College had been graciously approved by Her Majesty. The special ground for his recommendation was that the occupation of the College occurred just after the Queen's Jubilee, and that the name given would commemorate that event. My contention is that the present title fails to suggest such an allusion, both because at that time several schools were already known as Victoria Schools, and because Victoria being the name of the city has lost its significant force in connection with the Jubilee.

　　　　12. THE STAFF.-Several masters have been incapacitated by sickness, for various periods, varying from six days to as many weeks. Mr. DEALY returned from England on 1st May. Mr. MACHELL was confirmed, at the end of twelve months' probation, in his appointment as Assistant Master, by the Secretary of State. During the last two years several changes have taken place among the Chinese Assistants. Mr. Lo KIT resigned on account of ill-health; Messrs. CHEUNG TSOI, LO CHEUNG-SHIU, WONG FAN, and CHAN KAM-TO were transferred to other departments at higher salaries; and Mr. SHAM CHAU- FAT was dimissed. Two of these six changes were unavoidable, but the remaining four are attributed to insufficient salary. We have thus lost four excellent masters, with specially good attainments in English, who had five or six years' experience in teaching. It will take three or four years for their successors to approach their standard of qualification, if indeed they too are not transferred in the course of a couple of years. It is gratifying to know that our Chinese Assistants are appreciated as interpreters and clerks in other Departments; but it might well be asked if some system could not be devised which should secure the more lengthened services of these Chinese masters in the work for which they are specially trained. The First and Second Chinese Assistants have respectively $100 and $68 a month; then come four seniors at $40 and four juniors at $25 a month. Many boys on leaving the first class receive $20 and $30 a month immediately; while these Assistants remain at the same salary and see their juniors in enjoyment of larger emoluments elsewhere; the natural consequence is that they are on the look-out for other employment. Some increment (say $60 a year biennially, till a maximum of $600 instead of $480 per annum were attained) might act as an induce- men't to them to remain longer in the service of education. The slight extra expense would be more than compensated by the increased efficiency of the Chinese section of the staff, resulting from an improved permanence in tenure of office.

　　　　13. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.This year seven Seniors and seven Juniors passed; the largest number hitherto being three Seniors and five Juniors in 1889. We sent in altogether 29 fees, but five boys did not present themselves for examination, three having obtained situations, and two being ill. Fourteen passes out of twenty-four is by no means unsatisfactory. As regards the Chinese, eight passes out of nine is a highly creditable record. The failures amongst the non-Chinese are due to the general weakness of the class and emphasise the necessity there was for the formation of a special class for their improvement. The Head of any School can, by the payment of one shilling for each candidate, obtain from Oxford detailed particulars of his own boys' work. Thus, I am able to report that OBADIAH obtained the mark "Good" in Shakespeare, HANCE and E. DANENBERG in Grammar, U HANG-KAM in Arithmetic, Algebra, and Euclid, and CHAN YAM-MING in Arithmetic and Algebra. It must be understood that the mark "Good" is next in order to "Distinguished," and that the Distinction list in Shakespeare and Mathematics is remarkably select. Altogether I am of opinion that the results should encourage the boys to further efforts, and should be a lesson to the non-Chinese boys of the great need they have of more steady application.

　　　　14. THE HALF-YEARLY EXAMINATION.-In July 1882 I instituted a half-yearly examination, to see that the work of the previous half had been fairly prosecuted, and to prevent masters and boys leaving the bulk of the year's work to be acquired in the latter half. I have found this practice most beneficial; both masters and scholars have been pleased to have their weak subjects discovered and pointed out for particular attention in the ensuing term. Many a boy, too, on leaving school between September and the close of the year has been gratified by having the higher results of the Midsummer Examination recorded on his certificate instead of his position in January. In 1893, however, the Half-yearly Examination was not held, as the Inspector of Schools objected to the Head Master's holding any examination of the College in the same term with his annual inspection. The injury thus done to the year's work is incalculable; and the enforced ignorance of the Head Master as to the condition of the College under his charge at the opening of Michaelmas Term is a serious hindrance to efficiency. It is therefore to be hoped that the Half-yearly Examination will not be permanently discontined.

　　　　15. RECREATION.-The report on the boys' sports, supplied by Mr. MACHELL, is full of interest, especially as regards cricket; for it appears that in several of the matches some four or five masters, and occasionally a few gentlemen outside the College, took an active part. There has been no observ- able advance made in drill. Sergeant BLAND, whose strict discipline combined with considerable tact in making the exercise less obnoxious to the Chinese, produced such excellent results last year, left us

;

122

in June on account of ill-health; and his regimental duties have since prevented his return. Half a dozen different instructors were in charge of physical drill during the latter half-year. From personal observation, I cannot say that I am hopeful of the success to be expected from the appointment of a private to this duty. A Public School Cadet Corps was formed at the suggestion of the Inspector of Schools; but as it, very naturally and properly, is confined to boys in non-Chinese dress, the desir- ability of forming a Chinese Cadet Corps, with simple uniform, white gaiters and red sashes, might hereafter be considered. Some of our Chinese masters would, with a little training, make excellent officers; and the desire to qualify for admission might excite a deeper interest in the physical exercises. 16. ANNUAL EXAMINATION.--The total number examined was 625, of whom 583 or 93 per cent. passed. Though the percentage is lower than last year, there is no evidence of inferiority, either of teaching or of work, which are both fully up to the average. The three sections of the College are thus represented:-

　A trite saying may be none the less true, therefore, I can only repeat, what it has been my good fortune to be able honestly to report year after year, that the whole staff, English and Chinese, deserves the highest praise for the results of the past year. I have found abundant evidence of excellent tuition in every class; and after careful enquiry have discovered that in those classes, (e.g. IV.B. VI.A.) where the number of failures at first sight appears appalling, the explanation is, either the boys have been naturally dull, or by an unfortunate concatenation of circumstances the dregs of certain classes have settled as a sediment in one class. I desire also to draw attention to those cases, chiefly in the larger sections of classes, where by careful attention to the lazy and dull boys at the bottom of the class, several failures have been creditably averted. The outlook for next year, especially as regards the Upper School, is most promising; and there is every ground for expressing confidently the expecta- tion that if the present rate of improvement continue, the reputation of the College will be considerably enhanced in the next few years.

18. REMARKS ON INDIVIDUAL SUBJECTS.

　Reading Maintains its high standard. It is to be noted that more attention has been paid in the Upper School to phrasing and punctuation.

　Colloquial.-A much severer standard was exacted; but masters and boys had fully prepared themselves. The result was most encouraging. What pleased me most was the evident desire of each boy to exhibit himself to the best advantage; there was absolutely none of the sulky indifference with which the new subject was too often treated last year.

　Dictation.-Slightly lower percentage, chiefly owing to the failure in I.A.B. to write a rather difficult passage.

Otherwise the work was fully up to the average.

Composition.-Very satisfactory, not inferior to the excellent standard of the preceding year. Grammar.-Considerable improvement, especially in the Upper School; with the exception of V.B. the work in the Lower School is accountable for the depression of total percentages in this subject. History. Generally worthy of high praise; the-poor work in I.B.c. mars the general effect. Arithmetic.-Though the percentage figure is only slightly larger, the work is of a much higher order; I.A., II.B., III.B., V.A., VIII.A., being most successful.

　Algebra.-Very good indeed in Classes II., III., but the papers of the three sections of the First Class were most disheartening.

　Euclid. Generally very good, with the exception of I.c. where out of 21 boys, 14 failed to write a single proposition correctly.

　Geography. Here again, if it had not been for the work in the First Class, I should have been able to report considerable advance.

　Shakespeare. The percentage 74 against 57 in 1892 is in itself gratifying, but it is more so to note the marked increase in intelligence in coping with the questions.

　Translation from Chinese. The creditable and successful attempt in the Upper School by the boys to make independent translations, instead of reproducing the master's translation, word for word, deserves to be chronicled.

　Translation into Chinese.-Very good. Here we have the best test as to whether the boys have grasped the meaning of their Reading Lessons; and as usual there is good evidence that such is the

case.

　Latin. I regret that I can observe but little difference from the poor standard reported a year ago. There was a slight improvement in III.c., but the boys in I.c. on the completion of a second year's course betrayed, with two or three bright exceptions, the grossest ignorance of the most elementary knowledge, even of the use of case.

Book-keeping. Steady improvement; though the percentage is not so high, the tone of work is

better.

General Intelligence.-Manifest improvement.

　Chemistry.-Messrs. JAMESON and MACHELL report considerable advance in Practical Work, and two very good papers on stiff Theoretical.

Drawing.-Freehand, Excellent. Model, Fair.

　Trigonometry-One boy did a very good second year's paper, another a creditable first year's paper, the third knew nothing about it.

　19. NON-CHINESE CLASSES.-The experience of the past year still impresses me with the great need of the separation of the senior non-Chinese boys, if any real education is to be imparted to them in this College. I fully sympathise with the English masters, whose lot it is to be in charge of these two classes; as it cannot be doubted that with less exertion their labours would be attended with more brilliant results were they in charge of Chinese classes. The results in I.c. are of a most disappointing character; about half of the papers might have been burnt unread, with little injustice to the writers. A firmer hand, and more organised Home-work, should secure better results in the next twelve months.

　20. CHINESE SCHOOL.-The five native teachers who, as usual, held this examination report a steady improvement, especially in the answers to the questions on Literature; but at the same time they have drawn my attention to the absolute want of knowledge of the Chinese language among several of the newly admitted boys, whom they propose to relegate to the Anglo-Chinese Classes.

　21. PUPIL TEACHERS AND MONITORS.-Of the seven reported under this head last January, only two remain, and they have acquitted themselves very well both in the Practical and Theoretical Tests. The new Monitors have only had time to learn their duties before the class.

　22. CONCLUSION.-Had I been told in January 1882, that in eleven years' time, two Chinese Assistants would be qualified to take independent charge of two sections of the Upper School, I should have thought the prophet very sanguine. However, the fact remains that in 1893 Messrs. LUK and WAN taught Classes III. A and B, in their entire course, including English Grammar, History, Composition, Geography, Algebra, and Euclid; and the total percentage obtained respectively is 93

and 100. The intelligence displayed in the answers of the boys and the neatness of the work have excited my astonishment and admiration. I have been so impressed by their success, and by the excellence of the tuition of several other Chinese Assistants, that the conviction has gradually dawned upon me in the last few weeks that the time has come when the Government might by degrees reduce the strength of the English portion of the staff. Here we have two Chinese actually doing admirably the work hitherto considered the monopoly of Englishmen. It is only reasonable that they should expect a higher rate of remuneration for the increased value of their services, which has been attained by steady application and study. The gradual substitution of a First Class rank of Chinese Assistants for two or three English Assistant Masters would not only provide funds for the increase of salaries to secure their retention in the cause of education, mentioned above in paragraph 12; but without diminishing the efficiency of the College would, in course of time, effect considerable retrenchment in expenditure.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th March, 1894.

No. 34.

POLICE OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 23rd January, 1894.

SIR, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Criminal Statistics and Report on the Police Force for the year 1893.

　2. The Statistics shew a decrease of 5.57% on the total of all cases reported to the Police, as compared with the Return for last year. In the sub-division of these cases into Serious Crimes (so called) and Minor offences a decrease is found as compared with 1892 of 8.64% in the former category and 4.20% in the latter.

　3. Three cases of murder came under the notice of the Police. The first occurred in Victoria, the victim being a little girl of 12 years of age with whose mother her murderer had quarrelled. The culprit was convicted and hanged.

The second case occurred at Ma Tau Wai in.Kowloon. The victim was the wife of a man named CHIM PUI, and the latter, on her return one night from the gambling dens at Sham Shui Po, accused her of unfaithfulness and cut her throat. The murderer made his escape into Chinese Territory, and although every endeavour was made to induce the Chinese Authorities to bring him to justice, he is, as far as I am aware, still at large.

Trustworthy information was obtained by the exertions of the Police as to the fugitive's hiding place. This was supplied to the Chinese Authorities on the mainland, and the latter, I have the best grounds for believing, actually found and arrested him, but released him after the infliction of a flogging. As a matter of fact the wife having been notoriously unfaithful, the sympathies of her countrymen were with her murderer.

　But in a case in which the sympathies of the Chinese Officials cannot have been affected-that of the fugitive ALVES who was in hiding for three weeks in Chinese Territory not 20 miles from Hong- kong-I regret to say that I did not meet with that assistance to which the constant exertions of the Hongkong Police on behalf of the Chinese Authorities gives this Department a claim.

　The third case of murder occurred in the harbour. Two men hired a boat, on board of which were a man, his wife and child, with the object of smuggling. A dispute arose between the parties and the boatman was thrown into the harbour, his wife and child being treated in the same manner and drowned.

　The boatman was picked up by a passing launch which also recovered one of his assailants, who was tried for murder, found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment with hard labour. The Police have not succeeded in arresting the other man.

4. Among the 19 cases of Robbery with violence there were six so-called gang robberies and five Highway Robberies. In five of these eleven cases the Police failed to make any arrests.

　The first gang robbery was in January last when seven men made a daring attempt to rob the occupant of a house in High Street. They were arrested by Inspector MANN and a party of Police, and convicted at the February Criminal Sessions. Three of them were sentenced to twelve months' hard labour and the other four to three months' hard labour.

　On the night of the 13th of February six armed men entered a house in I On Lane and after gagging and tying up the occupants (four females) stole jewellery valued at $145. Four of the men were afterwards arrested by Inspector STANTON. At the March Criminal Sessions three of them were convicted and sentenced to seven years' hard labour. The fourth was discharged.

　On the 21st of the same month six armed men entered a house in D'Aguilar Street, gagged and tied up the occupants-two females-and stole jewellery and clothing to the value of $200. The Police did not succeed in making any arrest.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

127

　　In the afternoon of the 27th of February four men entered the room of the caretaker of a bungalow near No. 1 Tank, gagged him and robbed him of money and clothing to the value of $26. No arrests were made.

On the night of the 24th of May four men, one of whom was armed with a revolver, entered a house in Tsang Shan Lane by means of the skylight, and carried off money and clothing valued $80. One of the men was subsequently arrested by Inspector STANTON, convicted, and sentenced to three years' hard labour.

On the 15th of August three men entered by night a matshed at Ma-ti Kowloon, tied up the occupant a gardener-and carried off a quantity of clothing.

Three men were subsequently arrested with the pawn tickets referring to the stolen property in their possession but were discharged by the Magistrate for want of evidence.

On the evening of the 16th November four arried men, who had engaged a small boat at Yau Ma Ti to convey them to Sham Shui Po, seized the occupants of the boar and robbed them of a $10 dollar note and a gold ring.

　　The following day Inspector HANSON arrested one of the men who was convicted at the Supreme Court and sentenced to 9 years' hard labour. Two more of the gang were arrested by a Customs Officer of the Frontier Guard while endeavouring to make their escape into Chinese Territory. In the mouth of one of them was found the stolen $10 note.

They have been tried by the Chinese Authorities, but I have not yet learned with what result. The fourth man has not been discovered.

In three out of the five cases of Highway Robbery arrests were made.

One of these was committed on the Shau Ki Wan Road and of the two men engaged in it, one was arrested and sentenced to twelve months' hard labour.

Gap Road. One of the

In the second three men robbed a domestic servant on the Magazine Gap Road. three was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to three years' hard labour.

The third case occurred on the Aberdeen Road. There were three men implicated in it and one arrest was made, but the prisoner was discharged at the Criminal Sessions for want of evidence.

One of these occurred on the Stanley Road, in course of construction behind Tsat Tsze It was probably committed by some of the coolies engaged on the work.

In the remaining two cases no arrests were made. and the other on the hill side close to the new reservoir Mui.

Except in the last mentioned case when a considerable sum of money was alleged to have been stolen, the value of property reported as lost was small.

5. There were 72 cases of kidnapping, under which category are included offences against the Women and Girls' Ordinance.

In the large majority of cases the prosecutions were successful and 72 persons in all were convicted. The Detective Branch has worked hard in this direction, and obtained nearly all the cases, the remainder being credited to District Watchmen.

6. The number of larcenies reported shews a decrease. The return would probably be much more satisfactory, but for the presence in the immediate neighbourhood of the City of the gambling dens in Chinese Territory at Sham Shui Po and Kowloon City. During the whole of last summer larcenies of personal property by Chinese servants in European employ were very frequent, and I have no doubt that losses at the gaming houses referred to led to the commission of the offences.

　　It may be of interest to state here that the number of passengers conveyed by free "gambling' launches from Victoria to Sham Shui Po and Kowloon City in one day last summer were 2,616 and 728 respectively.

　　But whether the gambling dens at these places are suppressed or not the community will always suffer from such larcenies until they take more trouble in the matter of engaging their servants. At present masters and mistresses rarely know the names even of their servants, and to my knowledge servants that have stolen in one house find re-employment in another. This would not be possible under a system of registration.

7. The number of gambling cases shows a decrease of 46% on the return for last year. This is due to the energy in the suppression of gambling displayed by the Inspectors in the various districts and by the Detective Inspectors. As far back as August last I was able to report that gambling on a large scale had ceased to exist in the Colony, and the same may be said to-day.

8. The Dogs Ordinance has worked smoothly, and so far appears to have produced good results. 2,071 dogs were licensed under it in 1893, 35 of the number being licensed as watch dogs. Seventy- one dogs were destroyed and about 1,000 sent by the owners out of the Colony. Only four cases of dog bites were reported between the 31st of July (the date upon which the Ordinance came into force) and the 31st of December. During the period from 1st January to 31st July, there were twenty-three such cases.

128

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

9. The principal complaints that I have received from members of the community have been regarding the annoyances caused by (a) so called Chinese religious ceremonies accompanied by music and the firing of crackers, (b) mendicancy in the streets and (c) the want of regulation of the street traffic.

　　　　As regards (a), the permits authorising the musical entertainments, cracker firing, &c. are issued by the Registrar General.

The Head of this Department is consulted before the issue of a permit, but the expression of his adverse opinion does not appear to carry much weight.

　　　　Many years ago one of my predecessors, Mr. C. MAY, gave it as his opinion (Police Report for 1885) that the granting of such permits should be vested in the Executive Police, an opinion in which I agree.

With regard to (b), I would mention that in no less than 467 instances have beggars been charged with mendicancy before the Magistrate by the Police, the result being either that the mendicants were punished with a 50 cent fine or given a passage to Canton out of the poor box. It is needless to say that many of the beggars returned again and again to the Colony and no doubt will continue to do so.

I do not consider that in proportion to its population this City is more infested by beggars than the average European City, but if it is desired to rid the island of beggars altogether some more effectual means of dealing with them must be devised than at present exists. Twenty-one years ago Mr. Deane suggested the establishment of a Lazarette on Round Island off Stanley, for the confinement of beggars. It would depend altogether upon the principle upon which such an institution were conducted whether it would prove an attraction or the reverse to beggars. If it were made unattractive I believe that by its means the influx of mendicants might be stopped, and in the absence of co-operation, which it appears impossible to secure, on the part of the Chinese Authorities on the mainland in sending beggars to their homes and preventing their return to the Colony, it seems to be the only way of dealing finally and satisfactorily with the matter.

　　　　As regards (c), the Police have made considerable efforts to improve the regulation of the traffic. The jinricksha and chair coolies now understand the rule of the road, and, as far as my personal observation goes, observe it very well. Rushing at passengers with chairs and jinricks has still continues in spite of innumerable prosecutions for this offence, as many as twenty drawers and drivers having been charged and fined by the Magistrate in one morning in the early part of the last year.

　　　　But it has been found that wherever a Constable is not present, or whenever his back is turned, the drawers or drivers will seize the opportunity of repeating the offence, and as it is manifestly impossible to have more than a limited number of Constables on regulation of traffic duty, it is extremely difficult to put a stop to the annoyance.

The only real remedy is for members of the community to co-operate with the Police by giving into custody offenders who rush at them with their vehicles.

　　　- Much assistance can similarly be given to the Police by persons, who are in the habit of driving, taking the numbers of jinrick shas that they may see breaking the rule of the road and prosecuting the drawers. The mere reporting of the numbers of offending vehicles would be of much assistance to the Police, as the renewal of the licences of drawers or drivers who had been complained of could be refused.

One of the principal causes of obstructions to traffic in the Queen's Road is the habit all classes of pedestrians have of walking in the middle of the street instead of on the footpaths.

　　　　Europeans are no better than Chinese in this respect, and perhaps the worst offenders are Soldiers and Sailors who walk frequently five and six abreast and thus block the entire roadway.

　　　　The Police have used every endeavour to induce Chinese coolies to keep to the footpaths but without effect.

　　　　The law of the Colony provides no penalty for this particular form of obstruction, and the Hong- kong Chinese coolie knows no respect for any one who has no immediate power over him.

　　　　10. Turning to the interior economy of the Force, of which I took charge on the 11th of February last, I am happy to say that the conduct of the Force as a whole has been very satisfactory.

In the Chief Inspector and Inspectors the Colony possesses a body of men of whom it may well be proud, and they have done their work during the past year in a most loyal, faithful, and able

manner.

No report has been made during the entire year against any Sergeant or Acting Sergeant and they have, without exception, performed their duty in a most satisfactory manner.

The conduct of the European Constables has, with few exceptions, been very good. There were 74 reports during the year against members of this branch of the Force as against 114 in 1892. Making allowance for the number of Constables being on the average seven less than in the previous year, the percentage of decrease was about 27 per cent.

{

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

129

There were five more cases of drunkenness (19 against 14 last year) but the average was increased by three men who were reported for this offence more than once, and who have been dismissed.

The number of cases of asleep on duty was the same as last year, viz., 6. On the other hand the cases of Disorderly Conduct, Neglect of Duty, and Absence from Duty were 9, 5 and 14 respectively as compared with 19, 14 and 24 during 1892.

The conduct of the Indian and Chinese contingents, which averaged the same strength as they did last year, was good. The number of reports against men was in the case of the former 278 as against 316 in 1892 or a decrease of 12 per cent., and in the case of the latter 363 as against 444 or a decrease of 18 per cent.

In the case of the Indians and Chinese a substantial diminution in the very serious offence of being asleep on duty was effected by the division of the eight hours night "duty" which has obtained for Asiatic Constables for many years into two "duties" of four hours each.

The new system was introduced on the 1st of July last, and the effect was to reduce the number of reports for being asleep on duty from 29 in April, May, and June, to 17 in July, August and September and to 8 for the last three months of the year.

The number of reports for this offence was 25 for the last half year of 1893 as against 43 for the corresponding period of the previous year.

The change was at first very much disliked by the men especially by the Indians. But after three months' experience of it the large majority of the Indians and the whole of the Chinese informed their superior officers that they preferred it to the old system.

Two Indians and four Chinese were convicted by the Magistrate of Criminal offences, both of the former for preferring false charges (one being fined $50 and the other $5), two Chinese for assault, one for extortion, and one for being found in a gambling house.

The most troublesome portion of the Force has been the Chinese section of the Water Police. I have submitted a scheme for the policing of the harbour by means of steam pinnaces instead of by the rowing boats at present in use. The scheme, if adopted, would render possible a considerable annual economy, increased efficiency, and a re-constitution of this Branch of the Force which in my opinion is very desirable.

11. The equipment of the Force has been improved by reducing the weight of the truncheon and abolishing the cumbrous and heavy truncheon case. The truncheon is now carried in a pocket, and the weight to be carried is 2 lbs. less than formerly. In hot weather the difference is

very appreciable. 12. Drills have been carried on with regularity, and have been extended to the outstations. With Europeans and Indians a satisfactory state of efficiency is easily attained, but with the Chinese- principally by reason of their noiseless shoes-the Drill Instructor has had considerable difficulty. By his energy and painstaking, however, much improvement has been recently accomplished.

13. Only one recruit-a Sergeant Major and storekeeper-was obtained from England during the year.

There were ten enlistments of Europeans in the Colony, including four eligible men who had come here from the Australian Colonies in search of employment.

A reversion was made to the system of recruiting Indians in India instead of locally. The batch only arrived a few days ago, and I have therefore had no opportunity of judging of the success of the experiment.

Much difficulty exists in obtaining eligible Chinese recruits. An endeavour was made to draft men from the body of the District Watchmen supported by the Chinese Community, but without success.

I may here mention that the Captain Superintendent of Police has, on the suggestion of the District Watchmen Committee, been made a member of that Committee.

14. I append a report drawn up at my request by Mr. W. M. B. ARTHUR, Master in charge of the Police School, which is I think satisfactory. Mr. ARTHUR has noticed the institution of allowances for knowledge of English by Indians and Chinese. The examination scheme has been completed by providing for allowances for knowledge of Hindustani by European Officers.

I regard the School as a ineans by which the efficiency of the Force, and its economical administration, (for an English speaking Indian can be put to duty on which it is now only possible to employ a European), may be considerably assisted.

I have accordingly prepared a new First Reading Book, which will, I trust, while aiding Indians and Chinese Constables to learn English also assist them in acquiring a knowledge of their elementary duties.

With a similar object in view an Instruction Book for Chinese Constables has been prepared containing in English and Chinese on opposite pages the Departmental rules and regulations which they are required to know, and such instruction in the provisions of the local Ordinances as have been considered most useful for them.

130

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

When this work is completed it is intended to arrange a similar book for the use of Ind ian Constables.

An endeavour has been made to promote the acquisition of Chinese by European Members of the Force by instituting daily Chinese classes at all the Stations. I have as yet seen no evidence of the results, but the object is such an important one that I shall not fail to give it my constant attention.

For the use of the European Members of the Force, copies of that invaluable little book, the London Police Code, with the references to the corresponding provisions of the local Ordinances marginally noted, have been distributed and have been found useful.

15. A reading room and library has been instituted at the Water Police Station at Tsin Tsa Tsui. The books for it have been purchased out of the Fine Fund.

do.

The Police stationed in Kowloon will thus enjoy the same advantages that the Police in Victoria

A tennis ground has also been constructed and paid for out of the same fund on a waste piece of land in front of the Water Police Station.

16. The health of the Force has on the whole been very satisfactory as compared with former years.

In the number of admissions to Hospital there was a decrease on the figures for last year of 18 in the case of Europeans, but an increase of 31 in the case of Indians and of 13 in the case of Chinese.

There were, however, only four deaths, the smallest number for many years. One European Constable died of small-pox, one Indian of dropsy, one Chinese of cancer and another of heart disease.

It is worthy of special notice that although there were several severe cases no death occurred from malarial fever, a result which is due to the medical and nursing skill of the Civil Hospital Staff.

Two European Constables, one of whom was recovering from the effects of a compound fracture of the leg, suffered from exceptionally malignant attacks, and were so reduced in strength on their discharge from Hospital that it was deemed necessary to send them for a short sea voyage to Japan and back at the expense of the Government.

17. With a view to improving the health and comfort of the Indian Members of the Force, Messes for Indians were instituted last November. Each man had formerly messed himself, the result being that many men, I am convinced, denied themselves sufficient food for the sake of economy. Much of their time which should have been devoted to rest was spent in cooking, and to save themselves trouble they would often cook at one time sufficient food to last for several meals. Portion of their food would thus become stale and unpalatable before the time arrived for eating it. Moreover as there were no mess rooms, the dormitories in which the men had to take their meals suffered much in point of cleanliness.

There was at first some opposition to the innovation, but a beginning was made by establishing two messes, one for Sikhs and the other for Mahomedans at the Central Station.

Before the system was a fortnight old I was invited to inspect the messes at breakfast one morn- ing, when I had the satisfaction of seeing about sixty men seated at two clean comfortable tables and served with a hot appetizing meal. The system has now been extended to Nos. 3, 7 and 8 Stations. As in the case of the introducing the change in the night duty, Chief Inspector MATHIESON gave me most loyal assistance in carrying the mess scheme into execution.

POLICE SCHOOL,

HONGKONG, 1st February, 1894.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit the following remarks on the Police School for 1893.

The attendance has been very much the same as in previous years, and, considering the conditions. under which the School is carried on, has been fairly satisfactory.

The attendance at school is at all times necessarily subordinated to Police duties proper, and the nature of these duties, which involve periodical changes and transfers from time to time, will always prevent a regular and unbroken attendance. The limited time of three hours weekly is thus much curtailed, and results usually obtained in ordinary schools cannot be looked for.

　　During the past year it was thought advisable in the Indian and Chinese classes to give Reading and Colloquial Lessons by means of easy sentences referring to the actual duties of the men, as the text reading books were compiled for the use of very young children and not well suited for Asiatic adults.

　　These text books will not be renewed as the Captain Superintendent has now in press a simple reading book from which the teachers anticipate most favourable results.

　　The most important step with reference to the school has been the introduction of a scheme of examination whereby Indians and Chinese may obtain an allowance for a knowledge of English.

　　I do not anticipate that many will pass the standard fixed, but the good effect of the scheme has already been noticed in the increased attention given by many of the men attending school.

The scheme has given great satisfaction and supplies a stimulus long required. Several changes have occurred in the teaching staff during the year.

Mr. CHAN WING KIU retired and was succeeded by Mr. ALLI BUX.

Mr. LUK KING-FO, a most zealous and efficient teacher, discontinued his services at the end of the year and it has been thought unnecessary to fill the vacancy thus caused.

I have the honour to be,

F. H. MAY, Esq.,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

Strangulation by hanging such hanging being the act of the

That the deaths resulted from fire or suffocation or other injuries sustained on the occasion of a fire in No. 58 Square Street the probable explanation of the deaths being that the victims returned to the burning buildings after making their escape and that the buildings fell in with them before they again escaped,.

The deceased came to her death by hemorrhage occasioned by a wound on the neck inflicted by the husband of the deceased, The deceased met his death by fire in House No. 74 Aberdeen, First floor to which he had set fire by his own act while labouring under a fit of temporary insanity,

The Magistrate finds that the deceased came to his death through injuries received from the inadvertent discharge of a bullet from a Nordenfelt Five barrel gun on board H.M.S. Pigmy in Hongkong waters after the conclusion of prize firing from the said gun and while it was in process of being secured,

The Magistrate finds that both the deceased died from the

effects of bullet wounds shot on the evening of the 2nd day of March, 1893, at about 8 o'clock P.M. from one or other of two junks named the San Fat Li junk and the San Yau Li junk which were at the time engaged in carrying several parcels known to be raw opium which had been transferred from two small boats which had been attacked in Sandy Bay by the boat in which the two deceased were under the impression that the parcels known to contain raw opium were still on board such said boat, the two said junks thereupon returning the fire of the deceased's boat and inflicting the wounds which caused the deaths of the deceased, the said junks and the afore- said small boat and the boat of the deceased being at the time of such firing in the neighbourhood of Sandy Bay in the waters of Hongkong and not more than a few Cheungs from the shores of Hongkong. The Magistrate further finds that at the time when the shots were fired that caused the deaths of the deceased there were amongst others on board the said San Yau Li junk three Chinese named respectively Leung Un, Kwok Hing, Leung Muk Kau, and amongst others on board the said San Fat Li junk two Chinese named Kwok Lin, Leung Muk-kwai,.....

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 80.

The following Report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for 1893, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 7th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th March, 1894.

G. T. M. OBRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

No. 51.

SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, VICTORIA GAOL,

HONGKONG, 27th January, 1894.

SIR, I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Annual Report on the Victoria Gaol for 1893.

2. I am glad to be able to report a very considerable decrease in the number of admissions which reached a total of 4,010 as compared with 5,046 in 1892. The daily average number confined in the Gaol was 458 being a satisfactory decrease on previous years. The daily maximum number was 518.

3. There were 5,108 prison offences committed during the year being about 11 offences to each prisoner as compared with 14 in 1892. The attached comparative returns show the most common of those offences.

4. The most serious-offences committed during the year were 5 assaults on Officers-1 on the Superintendent and 4 on Turnkeys. The first of these was, I believe, occasioned by the changes made in the routine of the Gaol with a view to improve discipline. One of the assaults on Turnkeys was committed by a prisoner out of revenge, the officer having reported him on the previous day for idleness. The other assaults, as well as that on the Superintendent, were committed close upon each other and at a time when the staff was exceptionally weak.

5. The conduct of the staff during the year has, with some exceptions, been most unsatisfactory. 2 second class and 15 third class Turnkeys, 2 second class Guards and 2 Nurses of the Female Prison have been dismissed for misconduct and 1 third class Turnkey deserted. 1 Junior Head Turnkey was reduced to the rank of third class Turnkey and 1 first class Guard to second class Guard.

6. There has been a marked spirit of discontent among the European portion of the staff which has been expressed in some instances in a manner amounting almost to insubordination. I know that some of the officers have committed themselves purposely with a view to being dismissed and I regret that among these are included 2 of the second class Turnkeys who were engaged in England in 1892. 7. The record of casualties further shows that 1 first class, 1 second class and 7 third class Turnkeys and 1 Nurse resigned their appointments, while the services of 3 third class Turnkeys and 1 Nurse were dispensed with being found useless.

8. No less than 31 Turnkeys joined the service during the year, yet on the 31st December there were 3 vacancies in the staff. Of the 17 third class Turnkeys serving on that date 6 of them had an average of less than 4 months service and 9 of them had not completed the probationary period of 3 months.

　　　9. At one period the staff was so far below strength, I was compelled to ask for the services of some Non-Commissioned Officers of the Garrison to act as Turnkeys. The 3 Non-Commissioned Officers, whose services were lent for one month, are not included in the 31 Turnkeys taken on the staff during the year.

　　　10. From the foregoing remarks it will be seen that throughout the year the majority of the staff consisted of inexperienced officers. The dangers which this weakness might give rise to are obvious.

　　　11. The health of the staff would appear to have been most indifferent. The returns show that 36 European Turnkeys and 10 Indian Guards have been admitted to the Government Civil Hospital once during the year, while 10 of these men have been admitted twice, 6 of them three times and 2 of them four and five times. On one day there were 8 of the staff in hospital.

　　　12. I have stated that there is much discontent among the officers and it follows that they perform their duties in a half-hearted manner, not having any real interest in their work, and all who are not bound by their agreements to remain on in the service look for other employment as soon as possible.

　　　13. The chief causes of their discontent are (1) the number of hours on duty (2) the inadequate pay of the junior ranks (3) the want of a proper mess room and entire absence of any recreation room (4) the frequency with which officers are called upon to perform extra duty. In each respect the officers of the Gaol staff are at a disadvantage as compared with the Police and their discontent is but

150

1894.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, natural when they compare the nature of their duties and the number of hours that they are on duty with those of the Police. I hope that when the separate cells are completed they will afford sufficient accommodation for the greater number of prisoners and that I may then be able to make a slight alteration in the number of hours on duty by the divisions taking a short and long day alternately. I have already during the year made certain recommendations for placing the staff on a more satis- factory footing in which I dealt with the question of pay. I have also asked that proper mess and At the present time recreation rooms, with a Billiard Table, may be provided for the European staff. officers coming off duty have no means of recreation provided in their quarters, consequently they seek these in the town which is often the cause of their getting into trouble. The frequency with which officers are called upon to go on extra duty is caused by the perpetual vacancies occurring in the staff and the number of officers in hospital at one time. This is extremely hard on and is keenly felt by those officers who discharge their duties conscientiously.

　　　　　14. All the Turnkeys who joined during the year were engaged locally and most of them have proved to be useless. There is a great deal to be said both for and against obtaining Turnkeys from England. I am of opinion that, at any rate, a percentage of the staff should be engaged and trained in England.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I hoped that more space would 15. I must again bring to notice the insufficient yard space. have been provided by the Gaol Extension, but I find that when the two blocks of cells and other necessary buildings are erected the yard space on the new site will make no appreciable difference.

16. Owing to the limited number of Turnkeys available for duty I have not been able to send out the chain-gang, which is usually employed on public works, since the month of August.

　　　　　17. The industrial labour account for 1893 shows a profit of $2,726.76. The decrease in the year's profits is chiefly due to the increased cost of paper stuff for Oakum picking and coir yarn for mat making. I must however again point out that industrial work is greatly hampered by want of space.

18. It is to be regretted that accommodation for female prisoners is not included in the scheme for the Extension of the Gaol. The unsuitableness of the building in which they are now located is well known. There are only 2 associated wards and 2 punishment cells so that, in order to keep prisoners on remand separate from convicted prisoners, all classes of convicted prisoners must be placed together in one ward. The only

　　　　　　　　　　　　The only place where the prisoners can exercise in the open air is 24 feet long and feet wide, a totally inadequate space for the purpose.

19. I forward herewith the usual returns.

2. At the close of the year 1892 there were two hundred and eight (208) houses for which drainage plans had been submitted and which were then unfinished; one hundred and forty-two (142) of these have been completed and the plans for nine (9) cancelled, leaving fifty-seven (57) to carry

forward to 1894.

3. During last year plans for the re-drainage of eight hundred and forty-seven (847) houses were received and passed by me and of these five hundred and fifty-seven (557) houses have been completed and the plans for ninety-five (95) cancelled, leaving one hundred and ninety-five (195) to carry

forward.

4. The total number of houses on my books therefore during the past year was one thousand and fifty-five (1,055); six hundred and ninety-nine (699) have been completed, the plans for one hundred aud four (104) cancelled and two hundred and fifty-two (252) are carried forward.

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 work done during the past year has exceedel that of any previous year and I am glad to be able to record an improve- nent in the carrying out of the work. The number of new houses which have been granted certifi- cates is much the same as last year.

　　6. The number of houses carried forward is large and this is partly owing to a great difficulty I experience in getting the floors and down pipes thoroughly repaired. In a large number of these houses the drains have been laid and covered, but the cook house floors have not been properly relaid. It is most important in order to prevent a dampness of walls and ceilings and the fouling of the sub- soil that floors and down pipes should be impervious to moisture.

7. A large number of owners of property have been called upon to redrain by the Board during the past year, it being generally found that where a nuisance occurs in one house, a whole block is affected. The old house drains in the Colony still discharge into the Storm Water Drains and they are generally made the receptacle for any and all rubbish that can be forced into them; in the few instances where traps have been fixed at the inlets they have been either broken or removed to get rid of rubbish which will not pass through them. This old pattern of trap is not allowed under the bye-laws and the pattern as now used cannot be removed without opening the ground, the new pattern are occasionally broken either by carelessness in cleaning or through ignorance of their construction and object, but the instances which have come under my notice form but a very small proportion of the number of traps fixed.

　　8. Now that the new sewerage works are nearing completion it is highly important that all private premises should be put in good order that the sewage may be separated from the Storm Water Drains. I am therefore very glad to be able to record an increase in the number of houses re-drained during the past year; should the number fall off it is a question whether it would be wise for the Board to obtain powers for, and to institute, a systematic inspection of the drainage arrangements on all private premises throughout the Colony. 30 per cent. (approximately) of the houses in the Colony have now been re-drained and 13 per cent. certified as having been built in compliance with the provisions of the Public Health Ordinance.

　　9. During the past year water closets have by the permission of the Board been constructed and connected to the house drains at the Sailor's Home; Hongkong Dispensary; Hongkong Hotel (old buildings); Portuguese Club; Hongkong and Shanghai Bank; "Duart" Caine Road; Tramway Terminus, The Peak; and the P. & O. Offices. The house drains from these premises are in all instances connected to the new system of sewers.

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

I have the honour to be,

Sir, Your obedient Servant,

The Secretary

DOWNING STREET,

25th-September, 1893.

SIR,

I have the honour to enclose, for your consideration, an extract from a despatch to the Governor of the Straits Settlements, in which it is suggested that the officers of that Government, who are not domiciled in the Colony, shall be paid when on leave at 3/- to the dollar, and shall in lieu receive a non-pensionable allowance while on active service so as to make up half their salary to the rate of 3/- to the dollar.

I am prepared to sanction the same course under precisely the same limita- tions in the case of Hongkong.

I have the honour to be,

RIPON.

Extract from a despatch from the Marquess of Ripon to the Officer Administering the Government of the Straits Settlements. 25th September, 1893.

2. It seemed to me that, with little additional expense to the Colonial Govern- ment, the position of those officers who are not domiciled in the Colony, and who therefore suffer most acutely from the fall of exchange, may be improved, by granting an allowance in compensation for loss on exchange in accordance with the Indian precedent, in return for a reduction of the rate at which the leave salary is paid. I have accordingly suggested that the future rate for leave salary shall be, in the case of the officers in question, 3/- to the dollar, and that the pay, while on service, shall, up to half the amount, be also calculated at 3/-; the compensation allowance, i.e., the difference between half salary at 3/- and half salary at the market rate of exchange not being pensionable, but the pension on the salary as it now stands being left to be calculated at the existing rate.

3. I am prepared to sanction these proposals if they are adopted by the Legislative Council and accepted by the officers, in whose interests they have been suggested.

The following Report of the Acting Registrar General for 1893, which was laid before the Legis- lative Council on the 7th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th March, 1894.

G. T. M. OBRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 25th January, 1894.

SIR,-I have the honour to transmit my Report on the work of this Department for the year 1893.

REVENUE COLLECTED BY THE DEPARTMENT.

The Revenue collected during the year amounted to $81,757.65, an increase of $4,369.48 over that collected in 1892. Tables I A, B, and C show particulars of the revenue; the large increase in hawker's licence fees being chiefly due to the fact that only one regular quarter's fees were collected in 1892, those for the first three quarters of the year having been already paid in 1891.

These fees are now collected quarterly in accordance with the Ordinance.

WOMEN AND GIRLS PROTECTION ORDINANCE (11 of 1890).

　　　230 women and girls were detained under Part II of the Ordinance and disposed of as shown in Table II A. Table II B gives the number of girls allowed out under security whose guardians are obliged to periodically bring them to this Office. Table II C. is a list of persons reported missing and of those recovered, and Table II D. one of prosecutions, instituted by the Department under this and other Ordinances, involving 50 persons of whom 45 were convicted.

　　　Returns are given in Tables III A and B of the movements of prostitutes and servants in brothels during the year. The sections of Ordinance 11 of 1890 relating to the registration of brothels are of doubtful utility.

　　　The Committee of the Po Leung Kuk and other members of the Chinese Community continued to give valuable assistance to the Registrar General in carrying out the provisions of the Ordinance. After an exhaustive enquiry by a Committee of the Legislative Council an Ordinance was passed incorporating the Po Leung Kuk but it still awaits the sanction of the Secretary of State.

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

Table IV shows the number of women, girls and boys passed by an officer of the Harbour Master's Department assisted by an officer from the Registrar General's Office.

The total number was 9,109 as compared with 6,550 in 1892.

POPULATION.

The population of the Colony on the 31st December estimated on the average increase during the period 1857-91 would amount to-

British and Foreign (including Army and Navy).

10,686.

Chinese.

228,038.

Total.

238,724

I am inclined to believe that this estimate is rather under than above the mark from the following' consideration :-

The number of pigs slaughtered for food in the Colony during the years 1891, 1892 and 1893 was 122,942, 126,766 and 131,298 respectively.*

If the population ascertained at the Census be taken as a basis, that in May last year, judging from the above figures which show a regular increase, would amount to about 238,200, and presuming that the increase is maintained it would probably amount to at least 240,000 on the last day of the

I therefore fix the estimate of the population on the 31st December at 238,724.

MARRIAGES.

year.

　　　The number of marriages in 1893 was 84; but a number of them were not those of residents in Hongkong. The state of the law in ignoring marriages where both parties are non-Christians is not quite satisfactory.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

Table V A shows the number of Births and Deaths. The births are below those for 1892 by 42 while the number of deaths is greater by 515.

The annual rates for births and deaths per 1,000 of the estimated population are 7.54 and 22.71 respectively.

* These figures were supplied by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon.

158

THE HONGKong governNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

BURIALS.

　　　　Of the 4,334 deaths occurring among the Chinese in Victoria 4,037 were buried in the Colony, 217 were sent out of the Colony, and 80 reported as being in the Mortuary awaiting interment or removal.

EXHUMATIONS.

　　　　With the concurrence of the Sanitary Superintendent 204 Exhumation Permits were granted during the year for removal of remains into China or re-burial in the Colony.

INFANTILE MORTALITY.

　　　　Table V C shows the mortality at various ages from which it will be seen that the number of deaths under one year amounted to 25 and 34.69 per cent. of the non-Chinese and Chinese deaths respectively. The percentages in the previous year were 11.95 and 32.13.

HOSPITAL Deaths.

Out of the total of 5,422 the deaths in hospitals in the Colony were as follows:-

Tung Wa Hospital,

Government Civil Hospital,

Alice Memorial Hospital,

Royal Naval Hospital,

Military Hospital,

Peak Hospital,

Hospital Hulk Hygeia,

Nethersole Hospital,

‧

Total,

....

1,231

.1,375

I understand, however, that some deaths at the Peak Hospital were not registered.

REMARKS ON THE VITAL STATISTICS OF THE CHINESE OF VICTORIA.

　　　　The number of births in Victoria, obtained by deducting those which take place in Wong- nai-chung and at Causeway Bay and among the boat population, is 1,081, and of deaths, 4,135.

　　　　The number of deaths of children under one year, 1,546, exceeds the mean number of births in 1892-93 by 433. Probably the births of none of the children under one month old who died in the Convents and the Tung Wa Hospital were registered, nor the births of those whose bodies were found exposed shortly after death. Adding these the total number of births may be taken as 2,126.

Again the number of families and therefore the number of married women in Victoria is 15,000. Deducting 3,900 as the number of women above 50, and taking the annual rate of births as 22 per 100 married women of child-bearing age, we arrive at a total of 2,442 as the probable number of births. The real number is no doubt greater than this and the number of unregistered births may be taken to be at least 1,500. Even assuming the number of births per annum to be 3,000 the number of deaths of children under one year to 1,000 births is over 500, compared with 245 in Leicester in the year 1875, an exceptionally high rate.

　　　　Of the 1,546 deaths under one year 1,212 took place in the Italian and French Convents and 20 in the Tung Wa Hospital. The bodies of 128 children under one year of age were found exposed in the streets and orders for their burial given by the Police Magistrate. 46 bodies of children under

years of age were found on the Praya or on the foreshore, and 15 in Poyan Street alone.

　　　　The number of deaths of male infants under 1 year of age to 100 females is 71.37; the number of registered births of males to 100 females in the last two years is 130.27. Neither rate is natural, but it seems as if less care was paid to female children than to male.

　　　The annual rate of mortality at different ages is given in Table XII B. It compares favourably with that for males in London for the years 1861-70. The census returns are unfortunately not very full and it has been found impossible to separate the sexes at different ages, but as the number of deaths of males per mille is 23.14 and that of females 41.20, the return would be still more favourable to Hongkong in a comparison with the death-rate in London.

The death-rate per mille for the whole population is 28.50. The number of persons who died under 5 years is 2,037 or nearly exactly half the number of total deaths. Of the 1,231 deaths in the Tung Wa Hospital (8 out of the 1,239, as stated in Table VII having occurred before admission) 1,002 are those of males, of whom 711 are entered as being labourers, 155 as servants. The number of persons who died between the ages of 21 and 60 is 779, as compared with 787, the number of those of the same age who died outside the hospital. The mortality per cent. of the cases treated was 41.46 or more than five times that for hospitals of the same size at home. The rate is, however, less than in the previous year.

　　　　This Ordinance, 7 of 1872, which is copied almost exactly from the law in force in that year at home has not received any of the emendations which were made in the English Act of 1874, but the matter is at present under consideration. The main defect, in my opinion, is that the registration of deaths even by nearest relatives is not compulsory, and I am of the opinion that in a community like Hongkong where so many persons are without relatives the occupiers of houses in which deaths take place should be compelled to give information. I do not think that many deaths among the Chinese

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

159

community are unregistered as Chinese undertakers refuse to bury except on receipt of a certificate of registration, and the cemeteries are under Government supervision. In the case of Europeans all responsibility ceases as soon as the clergyman has given notice to the Registrar, and I know of two cases this year where it has been impossible to procure registration. It is very probable that a number of Indian deaths are never registered.

There is no restriction on the removal of dead bodies from the Colony, and in case of a crime having been committed, the removal of the body would in certain cases prevent detection.

As regards registration of births, there is no provision enabling Jews and other non-Christians to add names to children after registration of birth, the addition of baptismal names only being provided. Cases occur where this restriction causes serious annoyance. The fee of 10 cents should be abolished. It is not worth the trouble of collecting. The time for registration of birth should be extended from 30 to 42 days, as frequently the father, is absent from the Colony. There is no provision regarding still-births and the burial of the bodies.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1894.

DISTRICT WATCHMEN.

　　　The Captain Superintendent of Police was appointed by the Governor in November last to be er officio a member of the Committee which advises the Registrar General in managing the District Watchmen Force. The revenue from voluntary contributions was $7,505.28 while $500 was contributed by Government. Owing to the fact that the Committee has a large surplus in hand, Government has decided to withdraw for the time the annual contribution of $2,000. The expenditure amounted to $10,472.71, of which, however, a portion was non-recurrent.

　　　I estimate the ordinary expenditure at about $8,500 per annum, being an excess over ordinary revenue of about $1,000. As there is a balance in hand of over $16,000, it will be at least 12 years (allowing for unforeseen contingencies) before the Committee may have to request the Government to re-consider the renewal of the grant.

The

present state of the force is as follows:-

5 Chief Watchmen at

....

1 Assistant Watchmen at ........

7 Watchmen at

11 Watchmen at

41 Watchmen at

$240.00

180.00

96.00

90.00

84.00

the total being 65 of whom 2 are employed at the Po Leung Kuk and 3 at the Chinese Recreation Ground, their wages being refunded by the Po Leung Kuk and from the Chinese Recreation Ground Fund. Table IX shows the accounts of the year in detail.

CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.

　　　The buildings are in a fair state of repair with the exception of the cook-houses. The advisability of removing them altogether is at present being considered. 94 stalls are let, out of a total of 125, besides the two "story telling" pavilions, and 33 permits to sell various articles on the ground at a uniform rate of $2 per month each have been granted.

The two Indian watchmen formerly employed on the ground have been dispensed with and their duty is now being performed by two Chinese lent from the District Watchmen Force, effecting a saving of $192 per annum. The revenue from the stalls, &c., was $2,404.35 as compared with $2,457.88 in 1892, while the expenditure amounted to exactly the same as the revenue, $1,600.00, being a repay- ment to Government of a portion of the loan of $6,000.00 advanced for the improvement of the ground. The balance in hand is $1,097.21. I have recommended separately that $1,000.00 might now be transferred to Government in further repayment of the balance of the loan which on the 31st ultimo amounted to $3,000.00. The ordinary revenue for next year may be estimated at $2,500.00 while the expenditure may be put at $620.00. The debt to Government should therefore be paid off in less than 2 years.

GENERAL WORK.

　　　The amount of translation and other general work has been rather increasing; 1,200 petitions on various matters were received, as compared with 1,005 in 1892. Table X shows the account of the Market Charitable Fund which is at the disposal of the Registrar General for charitable purposes, and Table XI gives an account of the money recovered on passage tickets of women and girls detained on board ship or at the Emigration Office under Ordinance 11 of 1890. The balance in hand of the former fund is $1,617.04 while that of the latter is $189.76.

STAFF.

　　　Mr. LOCKHART went home on leave in June when I took over the duties of Registrar General. WONG WING CHIU was appointed Shroff in place of WONG WING Ho resigned.

　　　Sergeant WATSON of the Police Force was appointed Acting Inspector in the Department in room of Mr. HORTON absent on leave. Two Chinese writerships and a messengersnip were abolished on the retirement of To LOK-HIM, the resignation of YAU KI-TUNG and the dismissal of Lo MUN-wo; while the boat's crew has also been abolished and the boat sold. These changes effect a saving of over $650.00 per annum.

　　　I would recommend that, when opportunity occurs, one of the higher paid clerkships should be abolished as the work could be distributed among the other members of the staff, and if the registration of brothels is dispensed with, one Inspector would be quite sufficient for the work of the office; one of the attendants might be abolished also on opportunity. These changes would effect a further saving of over $4,000.00 per annum.

　　　The Registration Clerk is overpaid; while the Shroff, the first Chinese writer and the second Chinese clerk and interpreter are rather underpaid.

I have the honour to be,

Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

I returned to Breaker Point on the morning of the 16th examining the Coast closely on my way, and sent an officer to enquire at the Lighthouse for The Englishman in charge stated that 3 days previously the body of a Chinaman had been picked up, which he saw, and in his opinion it was that of a fisherman.

NOTICE TO MARINERS, No. 1 of 1894.

G. T. M. OBrien, Colonial Secretary.

Marine Department, Wellington, N. Z., 5th January, 1894.

Eleven of the crew of the barque "Spirit of the Dawn," which was wrecked on the Antipodes Island on the 4th September last, having remained on the island for eighty-eight days without becoming aware of the existence of the depot of provisions and clothing for castaways which is established there, it is thought advisable to draw the attention of mariners to the fact that such depots are maintained by the New Zealand Government on that island, and on the Auckland, Campbell, Bounty, and Kermadec Islands, and that it is proposed to establish one on the Snares.

The following are the positions of the depots :-

Auckland Islands.-A depot is placed on the south side of Erebus Cove, Port Ross, and another in Camp Cove, Carnley Harbour. A third will be placed at the head of Norman Inlet the next time the Government steamer visits the islands. One boat is placed on the north-west end of Adams Island, another on Enderby Island, and one will be placed on Rose Island.

Campbell Island.-A depot is erected in Tucker Cove, Perseverance Harbour, and a boat will be placed at the head of that harbour.

Antipodes Islands.-A depot is placed abreast the anchorage on the north-east side of the principal island.

Bounty Islands.-There is a depot on the principal island.

Snares Island.--A depot will be established on this island the next time the "Hinemoa" visits the place,-

G. T. M. OBRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

FIRE BRIGADE Department,

HONGKONG, 31st January, 1894.

SIR, I regret to have to report a large increase in the number of Fires occurring in 1893 as compared with previous years. In hardly any of them was the origin of the fire explained, in many of them the origin was demonstrably suspicious, and in most of them apparently suspicious.

　　　The decline and rise in the number of fires appears to keep pace with the care or negligence displayed in the insuring of effects in Chinese houses.

These policies are for the most part effected by agents acting for companies in Europe, such agents receiving a commission on the policies and having no other personal interest in the matter. They act through Chinese agents or compradores, and it is highly probable that these compradores in securing business for their employers enlarge upon the great advantage of being insured in bad times when an accidental fire will clear off in a moment at fair profit stocks that it might otherwise have been difficult to realize. It is quite possible too that such accidents might occur at a time when the original stocks upon which the policy was effected were depleted, the probable destruction of the house and of the books making the actual state of the stock at the time of the fire a matter of conjecture only. In this way the insurer might not only eat his cake but have it.

　　　There appears to be a notion that under the double safeguard of a fire enquiry and the probable speedy extinction of a fire if it occurs the same caution in the administration of fire policies is not so necessary as it once was.

To a certain extent this notion is not without foundation as I think experience has shown that the Brigade may be relied upon to extinguish fires with reasonable despatch under normal conditions, but it is easy to imagine a state of things in which a fire might get out of hand and a repetition of the 1878 disaster be possible.

Every effort is made to minimize this possibility and the whole training of the Brigade and the arrangements in connection with it have as their central object the limitation of the area to be controlled and the provision beforehand of all such arrangements as are likely to save time and confu-

upon the occurrence of a fire.

sion

The first of these and one to which I attach particular importance is the running out more hose than is required to reach the scene of the fire. The first impulse of a fireman is to run out the hose up to the fire to attach the branch pipe and turn on water. If then he is ordered to take the hose upstairs say of the adjoining house which has just caught fire in the upper storey, he finds that he has not enough hose to enable him to do so. It then becomes necessary to obtain another length and to stop the water supply, an operation which always takes time and causes confusion and valuable time is thereby lost. All the firemen are therefore drilled to run out a considerable margin of hose bringing it round to the fire in a sweep, so that if it is required to go upstairs it can be done without any dislocation of the arrangements. Of all the provisions that can be made beforehand I consider this one of the most important, and it is now thoroughly understood by the Brigade and is always carried out.

Another important point is to constantly inspect from the inside the adjoining buildings. This duty is entrusted to the foremen who are told to do this from time to time and to report what they find to the Superintendent or Senior Officer present.

Further precautions are taken in having in readiness reserves of hose, and duplicates of all the more important appliances that are usually brought into use, and lastly in order to be prepared to meet as far as possible the danger arising from fresh fires occurring through the fall of sparks carried by the wind to a distance, a couple of fire despatch boxes are taken down and kept in readiness to be taken to any spot where they may be required.

With regard to these latter they have during the past year been slightly modified in the direction of making them much lighter, and they have also been increased in number. They owe their origin to the desire to take advantage of the excellent water pressure obtained from the hydrants, and it has been found possible to gradually extend their presence all over the Colony without encroaching on the normal vote for stores.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MARCH, 1894.

207

　　To myself as Superintendent it is an immense relief to feel that a ready and practicable method of dealing with fires on the upper levels is now available through the instrumentality of these appliances made possible through our excellent water pressure. The highest level at present supplied with them is Queen's Gardens, and one has only to imagine how difficult it would be to tackle with a fire in that neighbourhood from the harbour to realize the great advantage that the existing water supply gives to the operations of the Brigade.

　　I have before now drawn attention to the fact that there exists no means of extinguishing fires at the Peak. Peak residences are now so numerous having amongst them extensively fitted up Hotels and the summer residences of His Excellency the Governor and all the leading European residents of the Colony, that as a fireman I do not like the idea of these places being at the mercy of accident, and I think money would be well spent in taking advantage of the water system of the Peak District by making it available for the use of fire extinguishing appliances.

I attach a list of fires for the last ten years with the estimated amount of property destroyed in each case and also a list of incipient fires during the past year put out without calling out the Brigade.

　　Mr. HORSPOOL having returned from leave has relieved Mr. MATHIESON of his duties as Acting Assistant Superintendent of the Fire Brigade. This latter Officer performed his duties to my entire satisfaction. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. KINGHORN continue to carry out their duties with the same care and discretion as they have invariably shown and Mr. Chau Shau remains the same exemplary Clerk as before.

All the firemen of the Brigade have worked well and zealously at their duties.

　　I attach copy of report from Mr. KINGHORN regarding the state of the Engines. The suggestions made in his letter will be dealt with separately.

I have the honour to be,

The Honourable G. T. M. OBRIEN, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

H. E. WODEHOUSE, Superintendent, Fire Brigade.

HONGKONG, 19th January, 1894.

SIR,---I have the honour to forward my report on the state of the Government Fire Engines for the year ending 31st December 1893.

STEAMER No. 1.

(Floating Engine by Merryweather & Sons).

This Engine has been 27 years in service and is in good order. The Boiler is very much worn and-considering its age-I cannot recommend it to be repaired; the pressure has been reduced, for safety, to the lowest useful limit and I would strongly recommend a new Boiler to be obtained for this Engine at an early date, as it is the only Floating Engine in the Brigade and might be called upon to do some heavy work.

STEAMER No. 3.

(Land Engine by Shand & Mason).

　　This Engine has been 15 years in service, it has been kept as reserve engine during the year, regularly tested at the monthly drills for drivers, and is now in good order and condition.

STEAMER No. 4.

This Engine has been 12 years in service, it has not been disabled at a fire, has required no repairs, and is now in good order and condition.

STEAMER No. 5.

(Land Engine by Shand & Mason).

This Engine has been 8 years in service, during the early part of the year it did some good work at fires, and was 23 times under steam, it has not been disabled, and is now in good order and condition.

STEAMER No. 6.

(Land Engine by Shand & Mason).

　　This Engine has been 15 years in service (9 years in Volunteer Brigade), it has been regularly tested during the year at the monthly drill for drivers, the Boiler is much worn and is under reduced pressure, otherwise the Engine is in good order and condition.

208

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MARCH, 1894.

MANUAL ENGINES, HOSE, REELS, &c.

　　　　Nine Manual Engines and fittings are all in good order. The Hose, Reels and Supply Carts, ladders and gear are all in good order and condition.

The Assistant Engineer and Engine drivers have done their work, during the year, to my satis- faction, and are very attentive to their duties.

Three, out of the seven men, who applied to learn Engine driving, at the beginning of the year, have attended drill and passed their examination successfully, the other four failed to pass.

NOTE. In the event of a conflagration of any magnitude occurring between Wing Lok Street and West Point Wharf the Engines can be of very little service on account of the Reclamation Works going on, it is impossible to place them near the water in the harbour, and if it

· could be arranged at a small cost, I would recommend that wells be made, at intervals of 100 yards, just inside of the Old Praya wall, until the reclaimed ground is passable for the Engines.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

JOHN W. KINGHORN,

Engineer,

The following Despatch from the Secretary of State on the subject of The Po Leung Kuk Incor- poration Ordinance, 1893, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 15th instant, is published.

G. T. M. OBRIEN,

Colonial Secretary.

DOWNING STREET,

22nd December, 1893.

SIR,-I have had under my careful consideration your despatch No. 134 of 27th June last, submitting for the signification of Her Majesty's pleasure, "The Po Leung Kuk Incorporation Ordinance 1893," and your despatch No. 137 of 28th June last, forwarding a Memorial from Mr. T. H. WHITEHEAD in which he states his objections to certain provisions of the Ordinance.

In my opinion sections 6 and 9 of the Ordinance give the Board of Direction too absolute power, free from any control either by the Registrar General or by the Governor; and although there may be no probability of such power being abused, I think it right that provision should be made for some measure of control on the part of the Government. It seems hardly necessary, as proposed by Mr. WHITEHEAD and Mr. CHATER, that with the view of the Registrar General control- ling the proceedings of the Society from the outside he should be removed from the position of President of the Board in which he is placed by the Ordinance; but the Ordinance should be amended so as to provide for an appeal to the Governor, as suggested at page viii. of the Report of the Committee on the Po Leung Kuk. This could be effected by adding at the end of section 9 of the Ordinance the following words, "provided that in any case in which the Board is divided in opinion the Pre- "sident or any two Members of the Board may demand that the point be referred "to the Governor for his decision, which shall in every such case be final," and by inserting in section 6 after the words "purposes thereof" the following words, "subject to an appeal to the Governor as hereinafter provided."

Section 19 of the Ordinance should also be amended by inserting after the words "Police Force," the following words, "or District Watchmen otherwise there would be no provision under which District Watchmen could be lent to the Society, (as heretofore), while at the same time retaining the powers and author- ities of a Constable, which they possess under Ordinance 13 of 1888.

her

I have now to inform you that Her Majesty will not be advised to exercise power of disallowance with respect to the Ordinance, No. 10 of 1893, entitled, An Ordinance for the establishment and incorporation of the Chinese Society for the prevention of kidnapping and for the protection of Women and Children, commonly known as the Po Leung Kuk, but you will understand that the Ordinance should not be brought into operation, until it has been amended.

It gives me pleasure to learn from the Report of the Committee, which enquired into the history of the P'o Leung Kuk, that much good work has in past years been done by this Society, and I may express a confident hope that their work will be continued in future with even greater success under the terms of the new Ordinance.

Mr. WHITEHEAD should be informed that I have carefully considered his Memorial, and have given you directions to amend the Ordinance on certain points as indicated in the second and third paragraphs of the present despatch. The purport of those paragraphs may be cominunicated to him.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

(Signed)

RIPON.

　　　　The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has received from Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid the following translation, in precis, of a Royal Decree respecting the trade of Great Britain with Spain :-

(Translation in precis.)

Extract from the "Madrid Gazette" of January 1, 1894.

PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS.

Preamble.

In view of the fact that the Conventions concluded with Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Holland come into operation on the 1st January, while the Commercial Treaties with Germany, Austria, and Italy, the Conventions with Great Britain and Denmark, and the Provisional Agreement concluded with France are awaiting ratification, it becomes necessary to adopt certain measures for establishing a legitimate reciprocity until the Cortes shall have met, discussed the Conventions, and submitted their suggestions for Royal sanction. These measures should not differ from those adopted in the case of nations with whom we have recently concluded Treaties, and those which, in virtue of past Agreements, are entitled to most-favoured-nation treatment, in view of the Conventions coming into force on the 1st January.

With regard to those nations which have not yet concluded new Commercial Agreements, and those coming under the Second Column of the Tariff in virtue of the Royal Order of the 29th June 1892, it is impossible to introduce any change until a more satisfactory arrangement is arrived at.

Madrid, December 31, 1893.

(Signed)

PRAXIDES MATEO SAGASTA.

Royal Decree.

In the name of my august son, King Alphonso XIII., and as Queen-Regent of the Realm, at the instigation of the Council of Ministers,

I hereby decree as follows:

Article 1. From the 1st January next, and pending the deliberations of the Cortes on the Project of Law to be immediately laid before them, the most reduced ("mas reducidos") Tariff and further advantages resulting from the Commercial Conventions with Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and Holland shall be applied to the products of the soil and industries of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Denmark, France, Great Britain and her Colonies, and Italy, subject to the same conditions as those under which those benefits are conceded.

Art. 2. Similar rights and immunities shall be applied to those nations possessing the most- favoured-nation clause in Treaties of Commerce, Peace, or Friendship, which have not been named.

　　　　Art. 3. The duties of the Second Column of the Tariff shall continue to be levied in the form now applying to the products of the soil and industries of all other nations entitled to this advantage, in virtue of the Royal Order of the 29th June 1892.

Art. 4. The Government shall notify the provisions of this Decree to the Cortes.

Given at the Palace the 31st December 1893.

Blasting in steamer passage

Cambridge Reach Barrier.

Notice is hereby given that blasting operations are about to be carried on for a short time in the steamer (South) passage of the Cambridge Reach barrier in the Whampoa channel of the Canton River.

　　　　Whenever it may be necessary to close the passage to navigation a red flag will be hoisted on a pole at the North side of the passage and another at the masthead of the flagstaff at the Customs Signal Station on the hill on Dane's Island. So long as these red flags remain flying, vessels bound to Whampoa must not approach the barrier nearer than half a mile, and those bound to Canton must proceed by the Blenheim (or Back) Reach.

Approved,

E. B. DREW,

Commissioner of Customs.

HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS. CONCESSIONS.

THE HONOURABLE THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

With reference to your letter No. 1511 of 25th October last, I would suggest for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor that, as an experiment, in the first instance, the following concessions as to exemption from business for bona fide drill, &c. as Volunteers, be given to Public Servants, and that private firms should be asked to do the same:-

Branch.

During the six weeks special training at present fixed from 1st March to 16th April.

At other times of the year.

Field Artillery,

Saturday afternoons from 2 P.M.,

1st Saturday in each month from 2 P.M.

Machine Gun Companies, Saturday afternoons from 2 P.M.,

...

3rd Saturday in each month from 2 P.M.

Also for both branches, a complete holiday on Saturday in the week of annual mobilization of the Garrison, and that private firms should be asked to give a half-holiday to Volunteers on the afternoon of the day selected for the Queen's Birthday parade.

2. The points, however, on which the Officers of the Corps and myself lay the greatest stress are, as shewn in my memorandum of 24th October, 1893.

1st. That the Government should impress on Public Servants that it approves of their becoming Volunteers, and will facilitate as much as possible their carrying out the duties entailed on them as such.

2nd. That private firms be moved to make a similar notification to their employes.

SIR,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH MARCH, 1894.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 6th March, 1894.

　　　I am directed by the Governor to transmit to you for the consideration of the Chamber of Com- merce the enclosed copy of a letter from the Acting Commandant of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps on the subject of the encouragement of employes of private firms to join the Corps.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

G. T. M. OBRIEN, Colonial Secretary.

SIR,

HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, HONGKONG, 19th March, 1894.

　　　I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed communication of 6th instant handing copy of a letter from the Acting Commandant of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps containing a suggestion that the Government should impress on Public Servants that it approves of their becoming Volunteers, and will facilitate as much as possible their carrying out the duties entailed on them as such, and further, that private firms be moved to make a similar notification.

　　　While viewing very favourably a movement calculated to encourage volunteering the Committee of the Chamber considers any steps taken in that direction must, of necessity, be so entirely regulated by the convenience or otherwise to individual firms that it would appear to be almost beyond its province to make any recommendation on the subject, but it would venture to suggest to His Excellency the Governor the desirability of sanctioning the publication of the correspondence to give these firms the opportunity of considering the suggestions made.

　　　The suggested holidays are already more than partially observed, and the Committee does not think that private firms would be found opposed to these becoming general.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

F. HENDERSON, Secretary.

WHEREAS

Sir Henry Ponsonby.

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

HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Excellency the President of the Argentine Republic, having judged it expedient, with a view to the better administration of justice and to the prevention of crime within the two countries and their jurisdic- tions, that persons charged with or convicted of the crimes or offences hereinafter enumerated, and up, have being fugitives from justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Treaty (that is to say):

8. Abduction.

9. Bigamy.

10. Maliciously wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm.

18.--(a.) Counterfeiting or altering money, or bringing into circulation counterfeited or altered

　　　　The extradition is also to be granted for participation in any of the aforesaid crimes, provided such participation be punishable by the laws of both Contracting Parties.

ARTICLE III.

　　　　Either Government reserves the right to refuse or grant the surrender of its own subjects or citizens to the other Government.

ARTICLE IV.

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

　　　　If the person claimed on the part of Her Majesty's Government, or on the part of the Government of the Argentine Republic, should be under examination for any other crime in the territory of the Argentine Republic or in the United Kingdom respectively, his extradition shall be deferred until the conclusion of the trial and the full execution of any punishment awarded to him.

ARTICLE V.

　　　　The extradition shall not take place if, subsequently to the commission of the crime, or the institution of the penal prosecution or the conviction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applying or applied to.

　　　　It shall likewise not take place when, according to the laws of either country, the maximum punishment for the offence is imprisonment for less than one year.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MARCH, 1894.

ARTICLE VI.

245

A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character, or if he prove that the requisition for his surrender has, in fact, been made with a view to try or punish him for an offence of a political character.

ARTICLE VII.

　　　A person surrendered can in no case be kept in prison or be brought to trial in the State to which the surrender has been made, for any other crime, or on account of any other matters, than those for which the extradition shall have taken place, until he has been restored, or has had an opportunity of returning to the State by which he has been surrendered. This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition.

ARTICLE VIII.

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE IX.

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

ARTICLE X.

A fugitive criminal may be apprehended under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority in either country, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings, as would, in the opinion of the authority issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant if the crime had been committed or the person convicted in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which the Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority exercises jurisdiction: provided, however, that in the United Kingdom the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London. He shall, in accordance with this Article, be discharged, as well in the Argentine Republic as in the United Kingdom, if within the term of thirty days a requisition for extradition shall not have been made by the Diplomatic Agent of his country in accordance with the stipulations of this Treaty. The same rule shall apply to the cases of persons accused or convicted of any of the crimes or offences specified in this Treaty, and committed on the high seas on board any vessel of either country which may come into a port of the other.

ARTICLE XI.

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

ARTICLE XII.

In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as valid evidence the sworn depositions or statements of witnesses taken in the other State, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, and certificates of, or judicial documents stating, the fact of a conviction, provided the same are authenticated as follows:-

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

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

246

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MARCH, 1894.

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

ARTICLE XIII.

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

ARTICLE XIV.

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

ARTICLE XV.

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

the crime.

ARTICLE XVI.

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

ARTICLE XVII.

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE XVIII.

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

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

　　　　Done at Buenos Ayres, on the twenty-second day of May, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine.

(L.S.)

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 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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 135.

The following Bill, which has been read a first time in the Legislative Council, is published in

accordance with No. 39 of the Standing Rules and Orders of the Council.

By Order,

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 12th April, 1894.

J. G. T. BUCKLE,

Acting Clerk of Councils.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend "The Prepared Opium

Ordinance, 1891."

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

1. This Ordinance shall be read and construed as one together with Ordinance No. 21 of 1891, hereinafter referred to as "the principal Ordinance."

2. Sections 38 and 39 of the principal Ordinance are hereby repealed.

3. In lieu of Section 38 of the principal Ordinance the following words shall be substituted :-

No person shall bring have in his possession on board any ship bound for or about to proceed to Canton or Macao any opium which is not entered on the manifest of the ship.

The Master of such ship may seize any opium found on board his ship which is not entered on the manifest and may retain the same in his possession until he can deliver it to the Police. Notwithstanding anything in the principal Ordinance contained, all opium found on board any such ship which is not entered on the manifest shall be for- feited to the Crown. Provided that, if the Opium Farmer shall, within one week after such for- feiture, prove to the satisfaction of the Governor in Council that any opium so forfeited was not covered by a Certificate under section 12 of the principal Ordinance and that he was not privy to its being brought on board the ship, the Governor in Council may, if he thinks fit, order such opium so forfeited or any part of it to be delivered to the Opium Farmer.

Any contravention of this section shall be deemed an

offence against the principal Ordinance.

Ordinance to be read with No 21 of 1891.

Repeal.

Section subs- tituted for section 38 of No. 21 of 1891.

Opium not on ship's manifest when ship bound for Canton or Macao.

Master may seize.

270 THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 12TH APRIL, 1894.

Section subs- tituted for

section 39 of No. 21 of 1891.

Disposal of opium for feited to the Crown.

Protection of possession in accordance with disposal order, &c.

Reward to informer optional.

4. In lieu of section 39 of the principal Ordinance the following words shall be substituted :-

Any opium forfeited to the Crown may be sold, des- troyed or otherwise disposed of as the Governor in Council may direct, and no Police Officer or other person having any opium seized under the preceding section in his possession for the pur- pose of retaining the same until forfeiture or until its disposal is determined upon by the Governor in Council or afterwards for the purpose of giving effect to such order of disposition and no person purchasing, exporting, using or having in his possession any opium ordered to be disposed of by the Governor in Council and obtained by such person in accordance with or in pursuance of such order of disposition, shall be liable to any penalty under the principal Ordinance by reason of such opium not being accompanied by a certificate under section 12 of such Ordinance or otherwise.

The Governor in Council may, in his discretion, author- ize the award to the informer of such portion as he may think fit of the proceeds of the sale of any opium forfeited to the Crown and disposed of by sale.

Reasons.

The working of sections 38 and 39 of Ordinance No. 21 of 1891 having proved unsatisfactory, it is deemed expe- dient to substitute two amended sections.

The substituted sections will, it is believed, afford reason- able additional protection to ships bound for or about to proceed to Canton or Macao without involving any hard- Where he can show that he ship upon the Opium Farmer. was no party to the improper shipment of opium he can apply to have the forfeited opium delivered to him.

272

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1894.

NOTICE OF MOTION.-Mr. WHITEHEAD gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would move the following resolution :----

That in view of the fact that the present Opium Farm expires on the 28th February, 1895, and that tenders for the new farm must be sent in not later than 30th November, 1894, it is expedient that a Commission be appointed forthwith, with the amplest powers to investigate and report within four months on the working of the Farm in the past; the terms and conditions upon which and the time for which the new Farm, if any, is to be granted; the defects, if any, in the existing Opium Ordinances, and the amendments to be made therein with a view to the prevention of the smuggling of Opium, raw or prepared, from the Colony, in breach of our Treaties and engagements with the Government of China, and to the protection from risk of forfeiture and fine, through the operations of smugglers, of ships and-steamers trading from this port to China and Cochin-China; and with a view to the prevention of the annoyances and indignities inflicted upon Chinese residents and travellers by the perquisitions of the officers of excise appointed by the Farmer under Ordinance.

QUESTIONS:Mr. WHITEHEAD, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions:-

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT.

Will the Honourable the Registrar General inform the Council whether he concurs in the recommendations made by Mr. A. M. Thomson in the last paragraphs of the Acting Registrar General's Report for 1893, laid before the Legislative Council at its last meeting, in favour of retrenchment in the Registrar General's Department, amounting to close upon $5,000 per annum, and if so, has he at any time called the attention of the Government to the propriety of effecting such an annual saving, and if so, where, and when, and if not, why not?

NEW DRAINAGE SEPARATE SYSTEM.

Will the Government furnish the Council with a return shewing-

(1) The extent to which the new drainage scheme on the separate system as designed

by Mr. Osbert Chadwick, C.M.G., has been carried out,

(2) The departures, if any, from Mr. Chadwick's designs,

(3) The total amount of moneys expended on the new scheme up to 31st December

1893,

(4) The quantity of work remaining to be done,

(5) The estimated cost of completing the same,

(6) The cost of the deep sewer, commencing at the Murray Barracks Nullah, running down Arsenal Street, and along the Praya to its outfall about Fenwick's Yard, and (7) What amount of the cost of this deep sewer, running through and draining pro- perty, nearly one half of which belongs to the Imperial Government, has been paid or will be refunded by the Military Authorities,

HONGKONG POST OFFICE.

POST OFFICE, TREASURY, COURT HOUSE, LAND OFFICE, &c.

Will Government procure and lay upon the table an estimate of what money these premises would probably realise if exposed to auction, and what would be the probable cost of erecting a suitable Post Office, and Court House, including a Land Office, &c., on Government ground on the new Praya Reclamation.

OPIUM ORDINANCES.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1894.

CROWN AGEnts.

273

In view of the West Indian Colonies, including British Honduras and British Guiana, having recently passed Resolutions through their Legislatures condemning the Crown Agency system as an expensive and wasteful medium for the transaction of their business, and as a like feeling obtains amongst a large number of ratepayers in this Colony, will the Government lay upon the table, at the earliest possible date, a copy of the Parliamentary Paper C. 3075 of 1881, which is said to contain full information as to the arrangements existing between the Colonial Office and the Crown Agents.

PO LEUNG Kuk.

Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the Despatch No. 204 of 22nd December last, from the Right Honourable the Marquis of Pipon, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, in connection with my Memorial, dated 27th June, 1893, praying His Lordship to return Ordinance No. 10 of 1893 to Hongkong for amendment in the directions indicated therein, and to recommend to the Colonial Government, either to remove the Registrar General from the governing body of the Po Leung Kuk, or to invest him with powers adequate to his duties and responsibilities to the Women and Girls under his care, under Ordinance No. 11 of 1890.

FINANCES.

Will the Government inform the Council,-

(1) What moneys were expended by the Crown Agents in England, on account of the

Colony, during 1893,

Loan,

(3) What amount, if any, of our revenue during 1893 has been remitted to, or drawn for by the Crown Agents, from the Colony, to defray their expenses, and the rates of exchange, if any,

The Colonial Secretary replied. MOTION. The Colonial Secretary, pursuant to notice, moved the following resolution and addressed the Council:-

"That it is desirable to give effect to the suggestion of the Secretary of State for the Colonies that, in view of the fall in exchange, those of the Civil Servants who are domiciled in the United Kingdom or other countries having a Gold Currency, and are willing to draw their salaries when on leave at the rate of 3/- to the dollar, should be granted such a non-pensionable allowance as will make the half of their salaries while on active service equivalent to the half of their present salaries calculated at the rate of 3/- to the dollar."

The Colonial Treasurer seconded, and addressed the Council.

Mr. CHATER addressed the Council, and moved as an amendment :--

That the consideration of this question be postponed until the Retrenchment Commission asked for in the memorial of the Unofficial Members of Council, dated 12th January, 1893, to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, has been appointed, and until the Council has had an opportunity of carefully considering the report of such Commission.

SHIPPING.

2. The total of arrivals and sailings amounted to 14,349,122 tons, or an increase on 1892 of 196,273 tons. There were 32,983 arrivals with a tonnage of 7,177,025 tons and 32,858 departures of 7,172,097 tons.

The increase in tonnage in European constructed vessels is 241,707 tons, the numerical decrease is 216, paradoxical as this appears it is in accordance with the growth of shipping all the world over, the tendency being to increase the size of ships, (and by the aid of labour-saving appliances to decrease the crews, improved machinery also economising fuel).

There is an increase in the Foreign Junk Trade of 2,007 Junks representing 295,931 tons, against which must be set a decrease in the Local Junk Trade of 8,630 vessels aggregating 341,365

tons.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1894.

277

　　　6. In European constructed vessels the general import trade, as represented by the amount of shipping entering, amounted to 1,651,290 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 3,615,059 tons, making a total import tonnage in European constructed vessels of 5,266,349 tons.

　　　7. Again, the general export trade, still judged as before, amounted to 1,298,435 tons to places other than China and adjacent countries, while to those places it amounted to 3,971,075 tons, making a total of export tonnage in European constructed vessels of 5,269,510 tons.

Analysing the above and comparing with 1892, we get as follows:-

or in European constructed vessels a net increase of Import tonnage of 99,411 tons and a net increase of Export tonnage of 142,296 tons making a net increase of trade, as represented by tonnage of European constructed vessels, of 241,707 tons.

JUNKS.

8. Compared with the average of the past three years, the Foreign Junk Trade shows an increase of 145,583 tons, and 1,438 vessels, whilst the Local trade for the same period has decreased 162,288 tons with 3,290 vessels.

　　　9. The Foreign Junk Trade for 1893 shows an increase over the previous year of 295,931 tons, largely due to a brisk rice trade, also probably to the increased size of Ocean Steamers employing more distributing tonnage.

　　　10. The decrease of 341,365 tons in the Local Junk trade for 1893, from that of 1892, is chiefly the result of the cessation of work on the Praya Reclamation.

GENERAL.

　　　11. 4,278 steamers, 93 sailing vessels, and 28,612 junks arrived during the year giving an average of 90 vessels arriving daily in the waters of the Colony as against 99 the year before; for European constructed vessels alone the average daily entries would be respectively 1892, 12.3 vessels and 1893, 11.97 vessels: of the steamers 70.64 per cent. were British and 32.3 were river craft all of which latter were British.

12. From the foregoing it will be seen that Hongkong once again shows an increase of a quarter of a million of tons of shipping (European constructed) frequenting the port.

TRADE.

13. An attempt has been made to gauge the trade of the Colony by Import and Export Returns. In the absence of a Custom House it has not been possible to tabulate such returns with absolute correctness, but by the courtesy of the ship Agents and Masters, returns of the bulk of cargo "Imported," "Exported" and "in transit" have been rendered possible, the general correctness of which there is no reason to doubt, though a tendency to under-estimate probably obtains.

From the Mail lines monthly returns are rendered on printed Forms supplied by this department, the River steamers also supply a monthly return, based presumably on freight receipts. The coasters" and "tramps" have supplied the required information on arrival to the Boarding Officers and when clearing at the Harbour Office. The Merchant Shipping Ordinance of 1891 authorizes the Harbour Master, if necessary, to require the deposit of a copy of the manifest on which document the

278

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1894.

cargo is accurately entered, but generally described in parcels, bundles, &c., the ship master or Agent on the other hand is aware of the bulk measurement carried each voyage, and thus the more useful information can be obtained from their reports; but the information from these sources is somewhat approximate and it would appear at times to be inaccurate; as an instance I would point to one article, Flour; 6,320 tons is the total amount returned as the import of this article of food supply for 1893. There can be little doubt I think that this is a very much under-estimated return, for it appears from the Return of the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs of former years that the "export" of flour from Hongkong can be fairly estimated at at least 6,000 tons annually, and thus there would have been little or nothing left last year for local consumption. In the case of coal I am of opinion that the returns are more accurate than of any other article named (except perhaps Kerosine) and yet they would appear to be sometimes below the mark.

　　　　1893 inaugurated a new trade-Kerosine oil in bulk--for which there appears to be great possi- bilities judging by the fact that before the arrival of each oil steamer the Depot is usually empty, but that as yet the bulk oil is largely used in the Colony is not apparent. This trade is returned with

may

considerable accuracy. I remark that these returns regarding trade compare very favourably-- registered tonnage to cargo carried--with the latest or any other returns I have access to; the following tabular statement is explanatory.

　　15. Junks in Foreign Trade imported 379,326 tons and exported from the Colony 845,177 tons, European constructed vessels imported 1,246,234 tons in excess of exports, Junks exported 465,851 tons in excess of what they imported reducing the total excess of imports to 780,383 tons, from this must be deducted 406,800 tons of bunker coal leaving a balance of 373,583 tons consumed, manufac- tured, and in stock in the Colony or unaccounted for.

RIVER STEamers.

　　16. 2,756 River steamers measuring 3,215,106 tons imported 141,966 tons of cargo exporting. 128,487 tons, shipped 20,199 tons of bunker coal and conveyed 1,177,631 passengers.

　　Junks in local trade discharged in various parts of the Colony 104,400 tons of which 99,777 were earth and stones, clearing from Victoria with 13,730 tons of which 1,757 were earth and stones; they would seem therefore to have transported 11,973 tons of the surplus imports to various parts of the Colony.

MARINE CASES UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE 26 OF 1891.

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

1. On the 18th March,-Inquiry as to the loss of the Barque Penshaw Official No. 68,930 of Hongkong, on a reef near Palupari Island on the Pacific Coast (Philippine Islands) on the morning of 19th February. The Master's (JOHN SPEECHLY) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

SUNDAY CARGO-WORKING ORDINANCE 1891.

　　　　25. During the year 55 Permits were issued, of these 9 were not availed of owing to it being found unnecessary for the ship to work cargo on the Sunday, the fee paid for the permit was refunded. in each case.

4 Permits were granted free of charge in accordance with the instructions received that certain Mail Steamers, not having Hongkong as a terminal port, should be exempt from payment of the fee.

The amount of fees received was $7,900.

SEAMEN.

　　　　26. 14,274 seamen were shipped and 15,216 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.

　　　　27. 257 distressed seamen were received during the year, of these 57 were sent to the United Kingdom, 1 to Sydney, 1 to Melbourne, 1 to Bombay and 2 to Calcutta, 3 died and 192 obtained employment.

　　　　On the 31st December, 1893, 6 were in Government Civil Hospital, 1 in Lunatic Asylum. $5,474.15 were expended by the Board of Trade in the relief of these men and $1,077.30 by the Colony.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.

　　　　28. Return No. XXIII shows the work performed in this branch of the Harbour Department, and in forwarding this I desire to record my appreciation of the manner in which the work of this Sub-Department is carried out.

30. The Stations were maintained as usual during the year and nothing of special note occurred with the exception of the damage to the Gap Rock Light by the Typhoon of the 5th October, when four of the large panes of the glazing of the lantern were smashed by the sea the debris therefrom completely destroying 2 of the lenses as well as severely injuring 4 others, and the burner.

The damage was done at about 1 P.M., but the light was displayed as usual that night, two table lamps being focused as a substitute for the damaged burner.

Temporary repairs were executed and by the 3rd November the light was showing its full range though, on account of the damage to the lenses, the intervals were irregular. New lenses are shortly expected to arrive from England.

Communication with the Gap Rock has been kept up by means of the tug Pilot Fish and the reliefs have been made regularly, though sometimes with difficulty, and on more than one occasion not without accident.

31. Telegraphic and Telephonic communication has also been kept up with the Gap Rock and Cape d'Aguilar during the year. From the former Station 512 vessels have been reported as passing, and in addition 251 messages were received and 1,882 sent, including the daily weather report for the Observatory..

From Cape d'Aguilar 987 vessels were reported, and in addition 70 messages were sent and 123 received.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS (OPIUM) OFFICE.

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

1892.

1893.

Imported,

..56,8641

39,098

Decrease. 17,766 chests.

43,5491/2

9,076

Through cargo reported

but not landed,

21,144

16,608

4,536

The general decrease is, I am informed, greatly owing to short crops both in the Bengal and Persian Opium; with regard to Malwa the adverse exchange between India and China, caused by the closing of the Indian Mints, has affected it considerably, the enhanced price rendering it now less able to compete with the native drug in the North.

21,738 permits were issued from this Office, being a decrease of 1,025 as compared with 1892. A daily Memo. of Exports to Chinese Ports was during the year supplied to the Commissioner of Imperial Maritime Customs at Kowloon.

Surprise visits were paid to 97 Godowns during the year.

I have the honour to be,

PRAYA RECLAMATION OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 10th April, 1894.

8931

SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government the Statistics and Report on the Praya Reclamation Works for the year ending 1893. 1. SECTION NO. 1 EASTERN PORTION. -During the low tides of May, June, July and August, the surface of the rubble stone foundations on a total length of 975 feet was levelled and covered with a layer of Cement Concrete 4 inches thick (without Divers) under Contract No. 16, C.S.O. 125 and on which the first course of Concrete Blocks 12 feet wide and 3 feet high were set Departmentally (without Divers). The rubble stone foundations on which these blocks have been set are now being weighted with a view to their proper consolidation before setting the upper course of Concrete Blocks, and building the sea wall; the weighting is a slow and tedious process requiring much time and labour and which is being done Departmentally by piling thereon, seven double rows of Concrete Blocks 8. 0.′′ × 4. 0.′′ × 3. 0." on the top of those already set, making a total of 16 feet wide, and 24 feet high, and weighing about 24 tons per lineal foot of sea wall, or about 23,400 tons on the whole length (975 feet) of the foundations. The blocks are piled on the foundations in sections, and allowed to remain from four to five weeks before they are taken down and re-piled on the adjoining section; this process being repeated from time to time at the rate of about 48 lineal feet per week until the whole has been consolidated. The weighting and consolidation of these foundations will be completed in April 1894, and with a view to pushing on the works, tenders have been invited for the construction of the upper portion of the sea wall (above Concrete Blocks) and completion of the Reclamation.

　　2. SECTION NO. 2.-Total length of sea wall 775 feet. The levelling and weighting of the rubble stone foundations of sea wall were commenced in September 1891, and continued to the end of December 1892, during which time 636 lineal feet were levelled and weighted, the work being done Departmentally by Divers. In January 1893 the re-levelling and concreting the upper surface of these foundations and setting thereon the first course of Concrete Blocks were commenced, and continued to the middle of May, during which time 514 lineal feet were re-levelled and concreted and 457 lineal feet of first course of Concrete Blocks set, (the work being done Departmentally by Divers); but the progress being slow, the cost excessive, and the work executed unsatisfactory, it was deemed advisable to try and complete the work without Divers, by taking advantage of the low tides, which usually prevail during the months of May, June, July and August, and during which time 261 lineal feet of the foundations were levelled and weighted, 318 lineal feet re-levelled, concreted and the first course of Concrete Blocks set thereon by the Floating Crane, the work being done Departmentally without Divers. The second or upper course of Concrete Blocks (775 lineal feet) was also set Departmentally without Divers and the whole completed by the end of August.

　　The works under Contract No. 13 of July 1892 for the construction of the upper portion of the sea wall and completion of the Reclamation of this Section, are now in hand and fairly good progress is being made, 125,337 cubic yards of earth have been deposited in the Reclamation, 1,831 cubic yards of rubble stone hand-packed in wall back of Concrete Blocks and embankment across the eastern end of the Reclamation, 4,300 cubic feet granite ashlar set in sea wall, 600 cubic yards cement concrete in backing of masonry of sea wall, 1,010 lineal feet of storm water drains constructed in granite ashlar backed in lime concrete, and 1,129 lineal feet of stoneware drain pipes 15′′ and 12′′ diameter have been completed, 18,600 cubic feet granite of old sea wall have been taken down and the stone stacked in front of the Sailors' Home.

893

　　The storm water drain in Queen's Road and Centre Street, Contract No. 14 of September 1892, and referred to in C.S.O. 1149 is still progressing, though slowly, 720 lineal feet have been completed and about 96 lineal feet still remain to be built. The work under this Contract was taken much below its real value, and the Contractor has consequently lost the little money he had, hence the slow progress, and which at the present rate will require from six to eight weeks to complete.

　　3. SECTION 3.-The levelling and concreting of the upper surface of the rubble stone foundations of sea wall on a length of 720 feet were done by Contract (without Divers) during the low tides of June, July and August, and 208 lineal feet completed Departmentally by Divers. The first course of Concrete Blocks on a length of 863 feet was also set Departmentally without Divers.

324

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST APRIL, 1894.

　　　The weighting of these foundations cannot, however, be proceeded with until the weighting of the foundations of sea wall Section No. 1 is completed. The present staff and plant being fully occupied

on that Section.

　　　The filling and reclaiming the land below low water, which is being done Departmentally by Hopper Barges and spoil from Dredger is now nearly completed to Datum level, 182,147 cubic yards of earth and mud having been deposited in this Section.

4. SECTION No. 7 EASTERN PORTION.-Contract No. 10 of 1891.-Completion of the upper portion of sea wall and Reclamation on a length of 1,130 feet.--The works under this Contract were suspended for nearly nine months from the beginning of February to the end of October, to allow the sewer pipes, water and gas mains to be laid (the two former by the Public Works Department and the latter by the Gas Company) and the ground to settle and consolidate during the heavy rains of summer, before constructing the side channels, forming and concreting the roads and footpaths, fixing gullies, etc., etc. These works were again resumed at the end of October when the roads, footpaths, etc. were formed and trimmed to the required shapes and levels, 2,200 cubic yards of lime concrete foundations of Praya Road laid, 5,600 lineal feet granite curbs set, 3,500 lineal feet of granite side channels 3 feet wide laid, and No. 50 gullies and gratings with outlet drains, etc. fixed complete.

The temporary timber wharf opposite Ice House Street, Contract No. 15 of November 1892.- The work under this Contract was only commenced in October of this year, the timber required in its construction having been lost in the wreck of the Penshaw on a voyage from Manila to Hongkong on the 21st February 1893, and a fresh supply had to be ordered by the Contractor, and which arrived here from Manila in September last. The construction of the wharf was commenced in October, and has since been carried on by the Contractor in a somewhat dilatory manner.

　　　　The whole of the fifty piles required in the construction of the wharf have been prepared ready for driving, but nineteen only have been fixed, therefore at the present rate of progress it will not, I fear, be completed before the end of April or beginning of May 1894.

　　　　　5. LEVELLING AND WEIGHTING RUBBLE STONE FOUNDATIONS OF SEA WALL AND SETTING CONCRETE BLOCKS.─The levelling and weighting of the sea wall Section No. 2 were commenced in September 1891, and continued to the end of December 1892 (15 months), the work being done Departmentally by Divers, during which time 636 lineal feet were levelled and weighted, at a cost of $9,870, the averaged rate of progress being 42.4 lineal feet per month and the cost $15.52 per lineal foot of foundations.

On completion of the weighting of the foundations the upper surface was re-levelled to the required heights and shape and covered with a layer of cement concrete 4 inches deep, on which the Concrete Blocks were set. The setting of the first course of Concrete Blocks was commenced on the 22nd January 1893, and continued to the 14th May (113 days), the work being done Departmentally by Divers, during which time an averaged length of 493 feet of foundations was re-levelled, concreted and the first course of Concrete Blocks set thereon, at a cost of $3,234 (exclusive of cost of plant). The averaged rate of progress being 4.36 lineal feet per day and the cost $6.55 per running foot of foundations. The whole of these works being carried out as originally proposed and as directed by the late Mr. BROWN, Surveyor General. But the system and mode of executing the work being slow and costly, it was deemed advisable in the interests of the Lot Holders to change that system, and adopt a more expeditious, and less costly, method than the one inaugurated by him; it was therefore decided to level and concrete the upper surface of the rubble stone foundations of the sea wall, and to set thereon the first course of Concrete Blocks during the low tides of May, June, July and August without Divers. This has been successfully done and at a considerable saving of both time and money, as will be seen from the following statement, viz. :-From the 15th May to the 13th August (91 days) 1,650 lineal feet of rubble stone foundations of sea wall Sections Nos. 1 and 3 were levelled and the upper surface concreted by Contract (without Divers) at a cost of $3,080. During the same time 474 lineal feet of rubble stone foundations were levelled and the upper surface concreted Departmentally (partly with and partly without Divers) 2,124 lineal feet of first course of Concrete Blocks and 842 lineal feet of second course of Concrete Blocks were also set Departmentally (without Divers) at a cost of $2,741, making the total cost of levelling and concreting the upper surface of the rubble stone foundations, and setting thereon the first course of Concrete Blocks on a length of 2,124 feet (including the cost of setting the second course of Concrete Blocks on a length of 842 feet) $5,821, at an averaged cost of $2.74 per running foot of foundations, and the progress made at an averaged rate of 23.34 lineal feet per day, as against the cost and progress of the works done Departmentally by Divers, viz.:--Cost $6.55 per lineal foot of foundations, Progress 4.36 lineal feet per day.

To complete the weighting of the rubble stone foundations, Sections Nos. 1 and 3 according to the present method and at the present rate of progress (about 200 lineal feet per month) will require about 9 months and will cost about $4.50 per running foot of foundations, as against the progress 42.40 lineal feet per month, and the cost $15.52 per lineal foot of foundations when done by Divers as originally proposed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST APRIL, 1894.

325

It will therefore be seen that by changing the system of construction originally inaugurated by the late Surveyor General, a saving of time of about 38 months, and a saving in the cost of levelling, concreting, and weighting the foundations, setting the first course of Concrete Blocks, etc. on Sections Nos. 1 and 3 and a portion of Section No. 2 of about $29,944 has been effected.

6. I, therefore, venture to submit that although the expenditure during the year has been com- paratively small, and much below the expenditure of former years, yet a large quantity of absolutely necessary work has been done, and I think from the circumstances recorded in the foregoing report the progress made is fairly satisfactory. The total expenditure during the year would have been some $70,000 or $80,000 more had not the new works of Reclamation been suspended pending the decision by Government on an influentially signed petition asking for the stoppage of all works of Reclamation except those already in hand, otherwise the construction of the rubble stone foundations of sea wall between Ice House Street and Pottinger Street would have been commenced in April last, .and would have now been well advanced towards completion, and the Concrete Blocks would, I have no doubt, have been set during the low tides of 1894, but which cannot now be done before the low tides of 1895. The consequence of the presentation of this petition is that the Reclamation will now take a year longer and will therefore cost more, to complete, than it otherwise would have done.

　　　7. PLANT.-The whole of the Plant has been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair without involving any extraordinary expenditure. The Steam Travelling Crane was laid up (temporarily) in August, as it was found that the Concrete Blocks could be set quicker and at a much less cost by hand labour, using a Derrick and Winch, than by Steam Crane.

8. STAFF. The Staff consists of Mr. BOWDLER, Special Engineer in charge of the Works; Mr. BOULTON, Assistant Engineer; Mr. MUDIE, Executive Engineer; Mr. REMEDIOS, Clerk, Accountant and Storekeeper; Mr. LEUNG WING-KEE, Tracer; Mr. McISAAC, Master of Steam Tug Praya; and three overseers,-Messrs. W. BIDGOOD. W. J. NICHOLLS and C. BIDGOOD.

Mr. MUDIE was granted six months' leave of absence from the 3rd April (In C.S.O. 2312). The duties of Mr. MUDIE being carried on during his absence by Mr. BOULTON.

Mr. W. BIDGOOD after 5 years and 7 months employment on Reclamation Works was on the 12th October, (C.S.O. 2234), allowed to return to England for six months on the understanding that he should re-engage for another term of 3 years.

　　　On the 27th March, (C.S.O. 6), Mr. NICHOLLS was transferred to the Public Works Department and Mr. MINHINNETT who is on the permanent staff of that Department was temporarily transferred to the Praya Reclamation Works, with a view to pushing on the work of setting the Concrete Blocks, etc. during the low tides, he having had some previous experience in that class of work, and the accelerated progress made in setting the blocks, &c. has, I think, more than justified the transfer.

　　　9. Appendix A is a general statement of the several quantities of work executed in the more important Items to the 31st December 1892, and during the year under review. Appendix B is a statement of Accounts to the 31st December 1893. The outstanding liabilities amount to $23,000.00 due to the Crown Agents and on account of the monies retained pending the completion of the terms of maintenance under the several Contracts in progress during the year.

　　　10. I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the highly satisfactory manner in which the whole of the Officers employed on these works, with one exception (Mr. C. A. BIDGOOD discharged as per C.S.O. 1), have performed their respective duties and to the interest and energy which they have displayed in carrying out the several works entrusted to them, also to the very efficient and satisfactory manner in which Mr. REMEDIOS has kept the accounts of these works which are both intricate and complicated.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

&c.,

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 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.

EDUCATION Department,

HONGKONG, 9th April, 1894.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education for the year 1893.

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 1893, amounts to 277 Schools with 12.123 scholars, constituting an increase, as compared with the returns of the preceding year, amounting to 48 Schools with 1,183 scholars. This increase is, however, largely due to improved registration of Schools not under Government supervision, and particularly of the Kaifong Schools, i.e., Schools started by the Chinese community independent of Government aid and control. Since the appointment of a special School Attendance Officer, I am now able to keep a complete and accurate record of all those Schools whose existence and statistics were hitherto known to me only through the naturally incomplete und imperfect reports of the District Watchmen. No doubt the labours of this School Attendance Officer, who is daily perambulating town and villages, applying moral suasion to vagrant children and their parents and keeping a register of school attendance, has caused a certain increase of attendance. But the above mentioned increase in the number of Schools (and scholars) is principally due to the fact that hitherto many of the smaller Schools in town and villages, independent of Government supervision, had escaped registration. Of the 12,123 scholars under instruction in 277 local Schools in the year 1893, one half (6,250 scholars) attended our 102 Grant-in-Aid Schools, over one- fifth (2,596 scholars) attended 144 Kaifong Schools, nearly one fifth (2,356 scholars) attended 24 Govern- ment Schools, and the remainder (921 scholars) attended sundry unclassed, public or private, Schools which are under European supervision but exempt from the supervision of the Education Department.

　　　3. 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 1893 to 126, as compared with 87 in the year 1883 and 36 in the year 1873. The total number of scholars enrolled in this same class of Schools, during the year 1893, amounted to 8,606, as compared with 5,597 scholars in the year 1883 and 2,280 scholars enrolled in the year 1873. In other words, there has been an increase of 51 such Schools, with 3,317 scholars, during the ten years from 1873 to 1883, and a similar increase of 39 Schools with 3,009 scholars during the ten years from 1883 to 1893.

4. SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. PROGRESS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS. The number of Schools under the supervision of the Education Department rose, from 117 Schools in the year 1891, to 130 Schools in 1892, but was in the year 1893 reduced, by the closing of 11 badly attended Government Schools, to 126 Schools. Nevertheless, the number of scholars under instruction in these Schools rose, from 7,672 scholars in the year 1891, to 8,277 scholars in the year 1892, and to 8,606 scholars in the year 1893. There has been thus an annual increase of attendance observable, during the last three years, progressing from an increase of 502 scholars in the year 1891, to an increase of 605 scholars in the year 1892; but in the year 1893 the net increase amounted only to 329 scholars, owing to the fact that the normal increase of 595 scholars in the Grant-in-Aid Schools of the year 1893 was accompanied by an abnormal decrease of 356 scholars on the side of the Govern- ment Schools. This decrease was due to the above-mentioned closing of a number of Government Schools.

　　　5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-Referring now, once more, to those 126 Schools with 8,606 scholars under the cognizance of the Education Department, there were, in the year 1893, as many as 6,250 scholars (nearly three fourths of the whole number) attending 102 Grant-in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, whilst 2,356 scholars (over one fourth) attended 24 Government Schools, receiving a secular education. The secular Government Schools are free schools with the exception of Queen's College and Girls' Central School, the fees of which (covering also cost of books and stationery) are considerably below the average of fees charged in similar Voluntary Schools. All the religious Grant-in-Aid Schools offer Chinese instruction free of charge, but some of them require, for English instruction, school-fees ranging from one to three dollars a month, with extra charges for books and stationery. An absolu- tely free education is offered in English by 7 Grant-in-Aid Schools and 5 Government Schools, and in Chinese by 89 Grant-in-Aid Schools and 17 Government Schools. As to attendance, the secular

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MAY, 1894.

351

Government Schools, having all their expenses provided by Government, have as a rule better and roomier accommodation, superior school materials and a larger staff than the religious Grant-in-Aid Schools. Nevertheless, the latter are annually growing in public favour for the reason that the teachers of Grant-in-Aid Schools, whose salaries or promotion depend upon the efficiency and results of their teaching, are as a rule compelled by self-interest to be more painstaking in attending to the progress of each individual scholar. The attendance of some Government Schools sank of late so low that eleven Schools had to be closed on 1st January, 1893, in accordance with the rule lately established by the Government, to support no School having fewer than 25 scholars in average attendance, provided that there are in the neighbourhood other Schools within easy reach. In the course of the year two more Government Schools were closed for the same reason, but Grant-in-Aid Schools were in each case ready to step in and fill up the gap. The subjoined Table exhibits the comparative development of Grant-in-Aid Schools and Government Schools since the starting of the Grant-in-Aid scheme of 1873.

6. LOCAL DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOLS.-The Educational Institutions of the Colony are now so numerous and so widely and evenly distributed that, with the sole exception of the needs of the European residents on the Peak and at Tsim-sha-tsui (Kowloon), every District of the Colony is now supplied with a number of Schools, amply sufficient to meet the existing demand for elementary education. Of course, as the population increases, more elementary Schools will be called for, and the Grant-in-Aid Scheme is capable of meeting such demands in an effective and economic manner. But in future it will be rather a question of raising the standard of education in the existing Schools and seeking to create a demand for education among classes holding aloof from education, than of The multiplying Schools, as hitherto, with a view to come up to the existing demand for education. rapid growth of the secular Chinese Kaifong Schools, running parallel with the recent enormous development of the religious Grant-in-Aid Schools, is a feature of considerable importance. Hitherto the Government considered itself bound to maintain, and pay the entire expenses of, a large number of secular Government Schools, in addition to the pecuniary aid given to an annually increasing number of religious Grant-in-Aid Schools, because the latter, though no propaganda has ever been charged against them, are virtually free to teach as much religion (in a denominational sense) as they please. It was considered necessary, therefore, to maintain in each District of the Colony a sufficient number of secular Government Schools to enable rate-payers, objecting to religious teaching, to send their children to a secular School within easy reach. Of late years the Tung-wa Hospital Committee and private persons among the Chinese community, stimulated no doubt by the extraordinary growth of the Grant-in-Aid Schools but declining to avail themselves of the proffered advantages of the Grant-in- Aid Code, have started numbers of Schools on their own account and in accordance with their own views. These Schools, though as much penetrated by religious teaching as any Grant-in-Aid School, are virtually secular Schools. The rapid growth and wide distribution of these Kaifong Schools enable the Government now to retire, gradually, from the abnormal role of acting the school-master and to confine itself, in time, to the more appropriate function of aiding and directing the movement of voluntary efforts for the benefit of local education. I subjoin a Table exhibiting the distribution of secular and religious Schools throughout the Colony.

7. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.--The sum total of educational payments. made by the Government during the year 1893 ($79,413.84 as compared with $86,627.00 in 1892) amounted, after deducting school-fees paid into the Treasury ($12,683.00 as compared with $12,857.00 in 1892) to $66,730.84 (as compared with $73,770.00 in 1892). This decrease in expenditure, amounting to $7,040.00, is however partly due to the fact that the expenditure of the preceding year had been swelled by exceptional causes. Still, retrenchments were made by me, at the request of the Government, and rigorously applied in every possible direction so far as it was found compatible with the maintenance of bare efficiency. Increase of expenditure is, however, unavoidable in the long run, as Schools must multiply and expand in proportion to the natural increase of the population. The details of educational expenses and reductions in the year 1893 were as follows:--Office of Education Department $5,273.95 (decrease of $946.40); Victoria College (not including cost or repairs of building) $22,078.42.(decrease of $2,138.40); Government Central School for Girls (including rent of building) $3,002.17 (increase of $141.98); twenty-four other Departmental Schools $7,180.38 (decrease of $1,524.23); Grant-in-Aid Schools $23,583.96 (decrease of $4,846.31, the preceding year's accounts having included Building Grants amounting to $5,500.00); Physical Training $192.00 (decrease of $147.72); Government Scholarships $4,219.96 (increase of $1,411.40); Student Inter- preters $1,200 (increase of $1,010.28). The net cost of education ($66,730.84) amounted, in 1893, to 3.22 per cent. of the total Colonial revenue (as compared with 3.29 per cent. in 1892 and 3.26 per cent. in 1891). The total number of scholars educated in Hongkong in 1893, at the expense or with the aid of the Government, being 8,606, the education of each scholar cost the Government (exclusive of two Scholarships held in England) $7.75 per scholar (as compared with $8.57 in 1892, and $7.49 in 1891). In the several classes of educational institutions in the Colony, the cost, to Government, of the education of each scholar under instruction was as follows:-in Victoria College (not including cost or repairs of building owned by Government) $21.81; in Girls' Central School (including rent of hired building) $23.45; at 24 other Departmental Schools $5.90; at 102 Grant-in- Aid Schools $3.77. The Managers of those 102 Grant-in-Aid Schools, who received from the Govern- ment in 1893, as Grants-in-Aid, based on the definite results ascertained by the individual examination of each scholar, the sum of $23,583.96, spent during the same year on those Schools, out of the resources of their respective Societies, supplemented in the case of seven Schools by school-fees, the sum of $71,266.95.

8. NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE COLONY.-As regards those 126 Schools, with 8,606 scholars, under the supervision of the Education Department in the

year 1893, there were 24 Schools at work giving to 3,120 scholars of English, Portuguese, Indian or Chinese extraction an English education (combined with classical Chinese teaching in the case of 6 of these

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MAY, 1894.

353

Schools with 1,615 chiefly Chinese scholars); 4 Schools gave to 165 Portuguese children a European education in the Portuguese language; 3 Schools gave to 152 Chinese children a European education in the Chinese language; and 95 Schools gave to 5,169 children a classical Chinese education. In the 144 local Kaifong Schools with 2,596 scholars (exempt from the supervision of the Education Department), only 62 scholars received. in 8 Schools, an Anglo-Chinese education, whilst all the rest, viz, 2.534 scholars received in 136 Schools a classical Chinese education. As to the 7 unclassed Schools under European supervision with 92i scholars, 393 scholars received in 2 Schools a purely English education, and 525 scholars received in 5 Schools a European education in the Chinese language. To sain up. then, among 12,123 scholars under instruction, in the year 1893, in 277 local Schools, the vast majority, viz., 63.54 per cent., received in 231 Schools a purely Chinese education in the classical language of China; 29.49 per cent. received in 34 Schools an English or Anglo-Chinese education; 5.69 per cent. received in 8 Schools a European education in the Chinese and 1.91 per cent. received the same in the Portuguese language. In other words, we may say that two-thirds of all our local Schools give a Chinese and one-third a European education.

　　　9. FEMALE EDUCATION.-In former times the most abnormal feature of the educational condition of this Colony was the general neglect of female education. But since the last ten years a steady improvement has taken place in this respect in those Schools of the Colony which are under the supervision of the Education Department. The steady increase of the proportion of girls, among the whole number of scholars under instruction in those Schools, is a most cheering fact, as it holds out a definite prospect of our attaining soon to a normal condition in this respect. It will be seen from the subjoined Table that in Schools under the Education Department the percentage of scholars, being girls, has steadily been progressing, since the year 1873 (when the Grant-in-Aid Scheme was started), from 13.33 per cent. to 37.90 per cent.

Encouraging, however, as the foregoing figures are, they do not contain the whole truth. In former years, I was unable to obtain complete and reliable statistics as to the attendance of local Schools not under the Education Department. I was aware that in the vast majority of those Schools (that is to say in the Kaifong Schools) female education is still almost entirely neglected. Through the efforts of the School Attendance Officer, I am now able to give exact statistics of all the Schools of the Colony. Now the percentage of scholars, being girls, is in the different classes of local Schools as follows:-Unclassed Schools (nearly all being Missionary institutions) 57.43 per cent., Grant-in-Aid Schools, 47.90 per cent., Government Schools, 15.61 per cent., Kaifong Schools, 2.42 per cent. Among a total of 12,123 scholars under instruction in Schools of all descriptions there were, during the year 1893, 8,269 boys and 3,854 girls, the latter numbering 31.79 per cent. of the whole number of scholars. The foregoing figures prove conclusively that the gradual expansion of female education in the Colony is principally due to the Grant-in-Aid Scheme and to the agency of local Missions and that the only class of Schools which still exhibit a shameful apathy in relation to the interests of female education are the native Kaifong Schools which are inaccessible to stimulation on the part of the Education Department.

10. ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOL AND NUMBER OF UNEDUCATED CHILDREN.-The population of Hong- kong, including, besides the Navy, also the Army which has (for soldiers' children) separate Schools not included in the returns of the Education Department, amounted in the year 1893 to about

354

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MAY, 1894.

238,724 souls. On the basis of the census returns of 1891, I calculate that the foregoing estimate of the population includes 31,034 children of local school-age (6 to 16 years), or 13 per cent., and that of this number, about 47 per cent., or 14,151 scholars are girls and 53 per cent., or 15,748 scholars are boys Now, as the number of scholars under instruction in local Schools (soldiers' children excepted) amounted to 12,123, it is safe to estimate the number of those children of local school-age, who did not attend any School in 1893, to amount to 18,911. But a large proportion of these children, numbering probably more than one-half, though under 16 years of age and not attending School in 1893, may be assumed to have been previously under instruction for several years. It would be incorrect, therefore, to put down all those 18,911 children as having remained altogether untouched by educational influences. All I can say about them is, that some of them no doubt remain entirely uneducated, that others received but an imperfect education, but that a considerable proportion of them received from two to three years' schooling in the Chinese classics such as is in China considered ample provision for a working man's education. Considering that it has been stated, on good authority, that in England, in spite of compulsory school-attendance laws, barely one half of the children of school-going age attend School, the school-attendance of Hongkong is, in the absence of any compulsion, by no means discouraging, though it is not what it ought to be. I have stated in former reports that servant-girls in town and the girls of the boat-population are the principal classes of children kept out of School. I have been informed by a Committee of School-teachers as well as by the School Attendance Officer, that of late years the number of children attending no School has been greatly swelled by an Army of boys from 8 to 14 years of age, employed either as hawkers of fruit, sweet-meats, cigarettes and matches, or as watchmen for unlicensed adult hawkers to whom they signal the movement of Police Constables. But the fear was expressed at the same time, that if the Government were to interfere with the former class of boys, it would only give increased employment to the latter class. The School Attendance Officer reports that these boys are mostly recruited from the Saiyingpun District and that the vast majority of them are the children of Tungkoon people, noted for their disorderly character. As regards the boat population, some improvement in school-attendance appears to have taken place in 1893, but much of this recorded progress may be due only to improved methods of collecting statistics. I append a Table showing the provision which exists for the education of children of the boat population in those centres where these people specially congregate. It is hardly necessary to add that all other public Schools in the Colony are equally open to them.

　11. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS.-As far as the 102 Grant-in-Aid Schools are concerned, the detailed results of the annual examination of these Schools will be found summarized in Table XIV appended to this report, where the percentage of scholars passed in each School in 1893 is started and compared with the results of the preceding year, and in Table XV which records the percentage of passes gained by these Schools in each subject. As regards the 24 Departmental Govern- ment Schools, Tables III to X supply the most important particulars. I subjoin however a few additional observations with regard to these several Schools.

12. VICTORIA COLLEGE.-Some time ago I presented a detailed report on the condition of this School in the year 1893. This report is still under the consideration of the Government. The Headmaster's separate report for the year 1893 has lately been published in the Government Gazette. In future years this School will be referred to under the name of Queen's College.

　13. GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.-In addition to the statements contained in the report of the Headmistress, which will be found appended below, I am happy to state that the annual examination of this Institution has furnished abundant evidence to show that the School is making steady progress in every respect and continues satisfactorily to supply a felt want of the community. The inconvenient and insufficient accommodation which has hitherto restrained the development of this School, has been rectified at the close of the year by the opening of the new building erected by the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS on the site of the former Government Central School. In future reports this School will be referred to as the Belilios Public School.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MAY, 1894.

　　　　14. DEPARTMENTAL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-The number of the Departmental Schools (outside Victoria College and the Girls' Central School) has been reduced, in the year 1893, from 35 to 24 Schools, by the substitution of Grant-in-Aid Schools for those Government Schools the average attendance of which was persistently at a very low level. The closing of such ineffective but expensive Schools has exercised a stimulating influence on the remaining Governinent Schools. The Anglo- Chinese Schools at Saiyingpun, Wantsai and Wongnaichung have shown very fair results and are greatly appreciated by the people. But at Stanley and particularly at Yaumati, where the people care more for Chinese than for English teaching, there is but little progress visible. The main difficulties, however, under which all these Schools labour consist in the insufficiency or unsuitability of the accommodation and in the almost total absence of properly trained teachers.

*???

　　　　15. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-For some years past it was felt that the Grant-in-Aid Schools had outgrown in many respects the Code of 1873, revised in 1879 and 1883. An annually increasing demand had arisen for the addition of a seventh standard both in the Chinese and in the English Schools. In the former, there was further also a desire for the addition of Arithmetic (as well as Geography) to the ordinary pensums of a purely Chinese curriculum. In the interest of the English Schools, pressed as they were of late by a growing demand for the teaching of subjects trenching upon the sphere of secondary education, it was deemed necessary to enlarge the scope of the elementary side of the Scheme. It was felt desirable that the gradation from the lowest to the highest standard should be made more even, particularly with regard to Arithmetic and Geography. Elementary science lessons, naturally included in the reading books and in sundry-class subjects of the lower standards, had to be specially included among the examination subjects of the seventh standard. The regula- tions concerning special subjects also appeared to require revision so as to enlarge the range of the subjects open for selection whilst limiting the number of subjects to be taken up by each individual scholar. At the same time, however, financial considerations demanded that the increase of expendi- ture, particularly involved in the addition of a seventh standard of the English Schools, should be balanced by a corresponding reduction of the values of passes and of the capitation grants in the case of the comparatively inexpensive Chinese Schools. After due consultation with Managers and Head- masters, I drafted a revised Code, combining the above mentioned points. This new Code of Regula-

tions for Education Grants-in-Aid (1893), having received the approval of the Government (Gazette

of 19th August, 1893), will come into force on 1st January, 1894. Elementary education having thus been dealt with, the next step will be the endeavour to promote secondary education, the need for which, though not felt by the mass of the Chinese population at all, presses from year to year more heavily on the resident European families. The practice hitherto obtaining, of sending children for purposes of secondary education to Europe, has of late become a more and more expensive, and in many cases impossible, luxury. Hence the felt need of special provision to be made for the peculiar wants of the education of European children.

16. LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.-The local Examinations held, in Hongkong, for the College of Preceptors, (January, 1893), resulted in a diploma of Association and Membership being granted to a Master of Victoria College (Mr. W. MACHELL). A London Matriculation Examination was also held here (June, 1893), and a certificate has since been issued to the successful candidate (Miss BERGER), an assistant teacher in a local Grant-in-Aid School. The results of the annual Oxford Local Examinations, held in Hongkong in July 1893, were as under :-I. Junior Division.-Honours List, none. Pass List. Diocesan School, 4 passes; Victoria English School, 4 passes; Victoria College, 3 passes. Candidates who, having exceeded the age of 16 years, satisfied the Examiners,-Diocesan School, 3 passes; Victoria College, 3 passes; Victoria English Girls School, 1 pass. Successful candidates who obtain distinction,-in religious knowledge, Diocesan School, 1; Victoria English School, 1; in English, Diocesan School, 3. Details of examination results of Junior Division:- presented 37; examined 32; passed in preliminary subjects, 24; passed in religious knowledge, fully 19, partly 2; passed in English, fully 27, partly 4; passed in mathematics 12; passed in drawing 4. Total of certificates issued to candidates of proper age, 11; to candidates beyond the limit of age, 9. II. Senior Division.-Honours List, none.. Pass List, Victoria College, 4 passes; Diocesan School, 2 passes; High School, 1 pass. Successful candidates who, having exceeded the limit of age (19 years), satisfied the examiners, Victoria College, 3. Successful candidates who obtained distinction- in religious knowledge,-Diocesan School, 1; in English, Diocesan School, 1. Details of examina- tion results of Senior Division :-presented, 14; examined, 14; passed in preliminary subjects, 14; passed in religious knowledge, 4; passed in English, 13; passed in mathematics, 10; passed in natural science, 1. Total of certificates issued to candidates of proper age, 8; to candidates beyond the limit of age, 3. The foregoing results may be summarized thus:-Victoria College, 13 passes, no distinction; Diocesan School, 9 passes and 6 distinctions; Victoria English School, 5 passes and 1 distinction; High School, 1 pass.

17. BELILIOS MEDAL AND PRIZE EXAMINATIONS.--At the annual competitive examinations for Belilios Medals and Prizes (December, 1893), 40 picked scholars from the principal Schools of the Colony entered the lists, viz. :-11 European and Chinese boys, 11 European girls and 18 Chinese girls. These scholars represented the elite of the following Schools:-St. Joseph's College, Diocesan School, St. Paul's School, Victoria English School, Italian Convent, Belilios Public School, Berlin

356

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MAY, 1894.

Foundling House School, Basel Mission School, and Victoria Home and Orphanage Schools. In the boys' division, St. Joseph's College took the 1st and 4th, and the Diocesan School the 2nd, 3rd and 5th prizes. St. Joseph's College distinguished itself by presenting, with very good results, 3 candi- dates for examination in the reporting style of short-hand and 2 in type-writing. In the European girls' division, the Victoria English School took the 1st and 2nd and the Italian Convent the 3rd and 4th prizes and the Belilios Public School the 5th prize. In the Chinese girls' division, the Belilios Public School gained the 1st prize, the Victoria Home and Orphanage School the 2nd and 4th, and the Basel Mission School the 3rd and 5th prizes.

　　　18. PHYSICAL TRAINING. In addition to the ordinary exercises in physical drill conducted, as in the preceding year, by a Non-commissioned Officer in 12 local Schools (including 4 Girls Schools), a Cadet Corps, consisting of 64 boys from the five principal Schools of the Colony, was formed, in April, 1893. The corps was inspected and reported upon at the close of the year by Lieutenant- Colonel ROBINSON, Commanding the Shropshire Light Infantry. The report, whilst appreciating the efforts made in this direction and the results so far obtained, indicated the need of a re-organization of. the Corps. It may be interesting here to note that this Cadet Corps, a fair type of the racial composition of the non-Chinese community of this Colony, represented the following nationalities, viz. English (27), Portuguese (12), Spanish (9), Brazilian (4), German (2), Persian (2), American (1), Norwegian (1), Swedish (1), Siamese (1), Turkish (1), Anglo-Chinese (1).

　　　19. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.-Arrangements were made during the year 1893 to enable the only Industrial School of the Colony, the so-called West Point Reformatory, a Roman Catholic Asylum, to come, in course of the time, under the provisions of the Reformatory Schools Ordinance (No. 19 of 1886), which had hitherto remained a dead letter.

　　　20. MEDICAL EDUCATION.-The College of Medicine for Chinese conferred its diploma on a third of its students, KWAN KING-LEUNG, one of the Belilios Medical scholars, who had completed a training extending over five years and a half. Though his qualification is not yet recognized by Government, he is certified by a court of independent examiners to be thoroughly qualified to practise 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 Hon. E. R. BELILIOS' building scheme has not been acted upon up to the present as his stipulations regarding endowment have not yet been complied with.

21. SCHOLARSHIPS.-Careful attention was bestowed, in 1893, on the question of reforming the Government Scholarship Scheme which, as it was not connected with the local system of education nor with that of the home country, had hitherto benefitted neither the Colony as a whole nor local Schools as such but only individual scholars under private tuition. With one notable exception, the Headmasters whom I consulted objected to any but trivial changes in the old Scheme, though nearly all of them admitted the narrowness of its scope. Desiring, however, to complete the local system of education by adding to the elementary Grant-in-Aid Code a supplementary Scheme for the promotion of secondary education and to link that Scheme directly with the locally established system of Oxford and Cambridge Local Examinations and with an English University, I embodied these aims in a revised set of Government Scholarship Regulations. This new Scheme is now under the consideration of the Government. Meanwhile the two scholars, supported under the old Scheme are continuing their studies in London. The fact that one of them devoted the first year of his Scholar- ship to the preliminary work of preparing in London for the matriculation examination (at a cost of ￡200), indicates the radical defect of the original Scheme. As to private Scholarships, Victoria College had, in the year 1893, the benefit of 4 Belilios Scholarships, 2 Morrison and 1 Stewart Scholarship. St. Joseph's College had the benefit of one, and the College of Medicine that of 4 Belilios Scholarships. 22. I enclose the usual Tables (I to XVI) containing the educational statistics for the year 1893 which, to some extent, have been summarized in the foregoing paragraphs.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

E. J. EITEL, (Ph. D. Tub.),

Inspector of Schools and Head of the Education Department.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 182.

The following Report of the Acting Director of Public Works for 1893 ?is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th May, 1894.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

381

No. 288.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 16th April, 1894.

　　SIR, I have the honour to forward you the following report on the works carried out by this Department during the past year.

ANNUALLY RECURRENT Works.

　　2. Repairs to Buildings.-The following new buildings were completed in 1892 and therefore became chargeable to this vote for maintenance and repairs during the past year :----

Lair Shed and Fodder Store at the Cattle Depot.

Kowloon Slaughter House.

Public Laundries.

Quarters for Civil Hospital Staff.

Quarters and Offices for Superintendent of Botanical and Afforestation Department. Vaccine Institute.

Additions to Government House.

Additions to the Magistracy.

Block House at Sham-sui-po.

　　3. The total number of buildings of all descriptions now in charge of this Department is 132 and the whole of them, with the exception of Mountain Lodge and Crosby Store, have been maintained in a satisfactory condition. The former of these is practically abandoned and the latter is approaching such a condition that extensive repairs will be necessary if its use is to be continued as at present.

　　4. The following are the only works of an exceptional nature that have been found necessary during the

year:-

1893

Re-drainage of Superintendent's Quarters and out-buildings at the Gaol. (C.S.O. 213.) Construction of a new roof over the old Police Station and Harbour Office at Aberdeen.

(C.S.O.92.)

Construction of a new roof over the Registry of the Supreme Court. (C.S.O. 2886.)

1893

　　5. In accordance with the practice inaugurated last year, the following list shows the expenditure under the various sub-heads:

　　6. Maintenance of Telegraphs.-The substitution of telephonic for telegraphic instruments has been completed, the only instruments of the latter class remaining being those for working the Gap Rock and Observatory lines. The telephone lines in Kowloon and the line from Causeway Bay to Shaukiwan have been reconstructed throughout and the renewal of the line from Shaukiwan to Cape D'Aguilar is now in progress. In connection with the renewal of lines, iron posts are being sub-

stituted for those of wood.

The cable between Hongkong and Kowloon was broken on the 29th September by the anchors of the S.S. Tai Lee, which fouled it during the storm of that date. With considerable trouble the ends of the broken cable were picked up and successfully spliced without the assistance of a cable ship, and communication by it was restored on the 20th November. During the interval between the

382

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

breaking and repairing of the cable, a spare cable belonging to the Telegraph Company was very kindly placed at the disposal of the Government by the General Manager and the serious interruption of the service which would otherwise have occurred was thus avoided.

7. Public Cemetery.--The public cemetery has been maintained without involving any exceptional expenditure. The number of interments has been 81.

8. Maintenance of Praya Walls and Piers. Some exceptional repairs were rendered necessary by the storms which visited the Colony during the months of September and October last. The surface of the Praya roadway suffered considerably both in Hongkong and Kowloon and the backing of the walls was washed out in several places. Stones were dislodged from the walls in a few instances and at Kennedy Town the pitching of the rubble mound which forms the present termination of the Reclamation was disturbed a good deal at the outer end. The piers generally suffered damage, none of them seriously however. All the repairs have been made in a very substantial manner and in several places the surface of the roadway has been concreted in order to avoid a repetition of the damage.

9. Maintenance of Lighthouses.-With the exception of Gap Rock, none of the lighthouses have required any exceptional repairs. The damage done to Gap Rock lighthouse by the typhoon of the 1st.-2nd. October has formed the subject of a special report (vide Gazette, pp, 1,098 and 1,105) and need not be described again here. Satisfactory progress is being made with those repairs which it has been possible to execute with the materials available locally, and the new crane to replace the one washed away has been landed on the Rock and is in course of erection.

and

10. Maintenance of Disinfector.-The building and apparatus is in a satisfactory state of repair very little expenditure has been incurred on them during the year.

11. Dredging Foreshores.-The dredger has been principally employed at Causeway Bay from which 31,300 cubic yards of material have been removed. Of this quantity, 29,900 cubic yards have been deposited in the Praya Reclamation. The dredging craft and machinery are at present under- going a thorough overhaul in order to maintain them in a state of efficiency.

12. Miscellaneous Works.-The principal works carried out under this heading have been the following:-

Providing and fixing an anemometer at the Peak.

Providing drying rooms and lavatories at the Civil Hospital.

Erecting iron railings at the Lunatic Asylums.

Constructing two wells at Yaumati and Hunghom.

Erecting boundary walls at West Point Reformatory.

Reconstructing Magazine Gap Road Bridge.

Providing and fixing a new cooking range at Government House.

Erecting an Opium Searching House.

Constructing a telescope house at the Observatory.

All these works have been completed with the exception of the one last mentioned and in that case only the mounting of the telescope remains to be done.

13. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-The following roads have been re-macadam- ized and improved by straightening the kerbs, &c., viz. :-Queen's Road West to New Street, Wing Lok Street, Jervois Street, Queen's Street, Bonham Strand West, Mercer Street, Cross Street, Rutter Street and Hollywood Road.

The Praya roadway at Kennedy Town from Collinson Street to Slaughter House Point, the road past St. John's Cathedral and a portion of Garden Road have been concreted and the roads generally have been maintained in good repair.

14. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria.-The surfaces of Mount Kellett Road from its junction with the Aberdeen Road to Des Voeux Villas, the Peak Road from Mount Austin Hotel to Rural Building Lot No. 59, the lower portion of Bowen Road and a portion of Aberdeen New Road have been concreted with lime and cement concrete. The main street of Aberdeen has been macadam- ized, kerbed and channelled. The Aberdeen Road and the circular road round Mount Kellett have been put in thorough repair. Considerable damage was done by the storms of September-October to the road from Aberdeen to Stanley and the Shaukiwan Road at places where they skirt the shore, the protecting walls being washed away and breaches made by the sea. This damage has been nearly completely repaired and the roads have been restored and re-surfaced. The road to Cape D'Aguilar is now under repair and minor repairs have been effected in various parts throughout the Island.

15. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon.-Bulkeley Street at Hunghom and a portion of Station Street at Yaumati have been macadamized, kerbed and channelled. The Praya roadway from Tsim-sha-tsui Point to Elgin Road suffered considerable damage from the storms already referred to. The surface has been concreted with lime and cement concrete and put in thorough repair. Minor repairs have been made in various parts of the l'eninsula.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

383

　　　16. Maintenance of Waterworks.--The waterworks have been maintained in a satisfactory condition without any exceptional expenditure. A portion of the old main from the Blue Pool, Wongneichung, has been re-laid in consequence of the old pipes having become furred.

　　　17. The scarcity of water which prevailed during the months of March and April necessitated the introduction of the intermittent system of supply. The following tabular statement shows the hours of supply and the consumption during the period referred to:-

　　　18. The dry season began on the 22nd September, 1892, and terminated on the 27th April, 1893, thus extending over 218 days. The rainfall from 1st October, 1892, to 30th April, 1893, amounted to 14.77 inches (5.40 inches of which fell in the last 4 days) against an average of 18.34 inches for the past 39 years. Pokfulam and Tytam reservoirs were filled to their utmost capacity up to the 5th and 6th October respectively.

　　　19. The quantity of water filtered at the Tytam and Pokfulam Filter Beds during the past year has been 822,293,000 and 275,773,000 gallons respectively, making a total of 1,098,066,000 gallons. This is equal to a consumption of 16.55 gallons per head per day for a population of 163,948 after deducting 107,482,000 gallons used for trade purposes, &c. The reduction in the consumption is partly attributable to the curtailment of the supply for a period as already described and partly to the measures that are being adopted to check the waste of water.

　　　20. Every endeavour is being made to reduce the excessive waste which is constantly going on in private tenements. A "Prescribed Domestic Quantity" is being determined under Section 10 of the Waterworks Ordinance for all houses in the Colony, and meters are being fixed to ascertain the consumption per head per diem. This "quantity" as published in the Gazette has varied from 5 to 18 gallons per head per diem and has been fixed proportionally to the rating valuation of the premises.

　　　21. In the tests made the actual consumption has varied from 4.5 to 49.1 gallons per head per diem. In 76 instances, houses have been disconnected from the mains on account of excessive consumption and have only been re-connected after a period of between two and three months and on application being made in writing by the owners. The following four examples clearly show the necessity for the action which has been taken (the figures represent gallons per head

The second test was made after the houses in question had been re-connected on the written application of the owners.

　　　22. The number of meters now in use for measuring the "non-domestic" supply is 155; a rent is charged for them and they are kept in repair by the Department. The quantity of filtered water supplied by meter during the past year has been 107,482,000 gallons, and of unfiltered water 61,329,000 gallons.

23. Applications to the number of 499 were received for laying on water to private tenements or for repairs to existing services, and these have all been executed. Great assistance might be rendered in checking the waste of water which goes on if the occupiers of houses would occasionally examine their taps and other fittings and report any defects. In many cases the substitution of a new for an old washer would be all that would be found necessary.

24. Five diagrams are annexed showing the hourly consumption of water per day, one of which applies to the period when the supply was shut off from 9 P.M. to 5 a.M.

384

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

25. Maintenance of Sewers.-The work of maintaining and cleaning the sewers has been carried on satisfactorily and without any extraordinary expenditure.

26. Street Lighting.-The lighting of the City by gas and electricity has been satisfactorily carried out by the Gas and Electric Light Companies under their respective contracts. There are 642 gas lamps and 75 electric lights now in use throughout the City and suburbs.

The lighting of the more important roads and streets of Kowloon by gas has been satisfactorily performed under the contract with the Gas Company. The number of lamps in use is 76.

27. Maintenance of Public Recreation Ground.-The recreation ground at Happy Valley has been maintained at a small cost.

LAND SURVEY BRANCH.

28. During the year 15 land sales have taken place, the area sold being 891,792 square feet and the premiums realized amounting to $51,067. The sales include an area of 800,000 square feet sold to the Taikoo Sugar Refinery at Quarry Bay for the purpose of constructing a reservoir.

29. Extensions to existing lots of a total area of 479,740 square feet have been granted, the premiums realized amounting to $7,797.28. These figures include an area of 382,000 square feet occupied by the reservoir for the Aberdeen Paper Mills.

30. One Farm Lot in Kowloon has been converted into an Inlant Lot.

31. Surveys have been made, boundaries corrected and plans and particulars forwarded to the Land Office for the issue of 67 leases.

32. Boundary stones have been fixed to define 17 lots.

36. It is worthy of record under this heading that the miscellaneous structures erected during year include a large tank installation for the storage of 6,000 tons of kerosene oil in bulk at Tai- kok-tsui and that it is already proposed to make a considerable addition to the storage capacity of the depot. There are also included a match factory at Hunghom and a reservoir near Quarry Bay for the storage of 107,000,000 gallons of water to supply the Taikoo Sugar Refinery,, both of which are in progress. These works afford satisfactory evidence of the continued expansion of the trade of the Colony.

EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.

37. Central Market.-The whole of the walls have been built with the exception of the gables and the walls of the tower. The iron-work of the upper floor and nearly all the iron-work of the roof has been erected and the fixing of the timber-work of the roof is progressing.

　　38. Training Albany Nullah and Branches.-The invert of the tunnel which conveys the waters of the nullah underneath the service reservoir has been laid throughout with substantial granite masonry.

39. Slaughter House and Sheep and Pig Depots.-The complete scheme includes the construction of buildings which are arranged on three terraces, but it is at present proposed only to erect those on the upper and intermediate terraces and a few subsidiary buildings on the lower terrace. All the buildings on the upper terrace have been roofed in and otherwise completed with the exception of laying the concrete floors and fixing some internal fittings, &c. The buildings on the intermediate terrace are ready for the erection of the roofs and the subsidiary buildings on the lower terrace are nearly completed. A dwelling house for the accommodation of an overseer to supervise the Slaughter House, &c., which is being erected in the vicinity, has been built up to a level of about 6 feet above ground level.

40. Gaol Extension.--The drawings and estimates were approved by the Public Works Committee and sanctioned by the Council in September and a contract for the work was let to Mr. Foo SIK (C.S.O. 1943) in the same month. Sicnce then the old buildings occupying the site have been demolished and the excavation of the trenshes for foundations is now in progress.

　　41. Kowloon New Roads.-Work wa temporarily suspended from 13th January to 10th April. Since it was resumed good progress has been made and the whole of the roads are now nearing completion. A total length of 1.77 miles will be added to the roads in this district on completion of the work.

　　42. New Water Mains.-A small expenditure has been incurred under this head in re-laying a portion of the main from Blue Pool to the East Point Refinery.

1893

43. Sewerage of Victoria.-The whole of the main sewers have now been completed for the Central and Western Districts of the City with the exception of the outfalls which are to be carried across the new Praya now in progress. Two Contracts were let to Mr. Foo SIK (C.SO. 7883) and (1883) in December for the whole of the sewerage of the Eastern District and the work will shortly be begun. During the progress of the sewerage works every opportunity has been taken to improve back lanes which form public thoroughfares. In several instances the sullage water from the houses on either side was discharged on the surface by the defective down-pipes and drains or was thrown there as the easiest way of getting rid of it causing the lanes to become filthy and noisome. Wherever the owners have re-drained, these lanes have been concreted and channelled, an impervious surface being formed in place of the porous surface which originally existed and which allowed the sullage water to soak into and foul the subsoil.

44. Water Supply, Kowloon Peninsula.-The drawings and estimates of this work were approved by the l'ublic Works Committee in July and sanctioned by the Council in August, and a contract was let to Mr. Chan A. Tong (C.S.O. 1333) in September. Since that date good progress has been made. A length of 430 yards of cast iron pipes, 7 inches diameter, has been laid for conveying the water from the wells in the valleys to the pumping station at Yaumati and 470 yards of distributing mains, 4 inches diameter, have been laid in the village of Yaumati. The roads leading to the wells have been partially formed, the reclamation at Yaumati, including the training of the nullah, to form the site of the pumping station and clear-water reservoir is in progress and the elevated reservoirs into which the water is to be pumped are being constructed.

386

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

45. Extension of MacDonnell and Austin Roads, Kowloon.-Plans and estimates for this work, which also includes cutting away the hill on the road to Yaumati south of the Gasworks, were ap- proved by the Public Works Committee in May last aud adopted by Council. The contract was let to Messrs. Ho CHIU and Lo YING (C.S.O. 1373) in August and since that date 128 yards of storm- water drains have been constructed and the cutting away of the hill referred to in order to fill in the area to be reclaimed under this scheme is in progress.

1893

SUPPLEMENTARY WORKS.

46. Headquarters for the Volunteers.-A contract was let in September to Mr. CHEUNG NAM (C.S.O. 1783) for the erection of a small building to be used as a dressing room and for making certain alterations to the existing building. The work has nearly been completed.

PROPOSED WORKS.

　　　　47. Kowloon Cattle Depot.-Drawings and estimates for the construction of a Cattle Depot close to the Slaughter House as recommended by the Sanitary Board were approved by the Public Works Committee in April last and adopted by Council. It is hoped to make a commencement with the work at an early date.

　　　　48. Married Quarters, Central Police Station.-Drawings have been prepared for the construction of married quarters and other buildings on the piece of land to the North of the Magistracy which is unoccupied at present except by some buildings in a more or less dilapidated condition.

　　　49. Signalling Station on Blackhead's Hill, Kowloon.-A drawing and estimate have been prepared for the signal station which formed part of the proposals of the Committee appointed to enquire into the mode of signalling the approach of vessels, &c.

　　　　50. Village Water, Drainage and Sewerage Works.-Preliminary works in connection with a projected water supply for the village of Aberdeen are in progress.

BELILIOS SCHOOL for GIRLS.

51. A notable event of the year has been the completion of a large and handsome school constructed at the sole expense of the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS, C.M.G., on a site granted by the Government for that purpose. The building, which stands on the site formerly occupied by the Central School, was formally handed over to the Government on the 18th December.

　　　　52. The School contains 12 class-rooms, all of which are furnished with desks, forms, &c. throughout, and is capable of accommodating 608 pupils. The lavatory accommodation is excellent and the whole of the fittings are in accordance with the latest practice. The floors of the lavatories are laid with encaustic tiles and the walls for a height of about 3 feet are covered with glazed tiles of a neat design. There are also small retiring rooms for the teachers and quarters for a caretaker. The surface of the compound or playground is laid with lime concrete.

STAFF.

　　　　53. Mr. COOPER went on 12 months' leave on the 9th November, when I took over the duties of the acting appointment.

54. Mr. TOOKER was placed in charge of work under the Building Ordinance, and Mr. CROOK was appointed Water Authority.

55. Mr. QUILL resigned on the expiration of his agreement in February and his duties have since been discharged by Mr.. CROOK with the assistance of Mr. BAMSEY.

56. Mr. RENNIE returned from 6 months' leave on the 3rd March and resigned his appointment as Correspondence Clerk on the 31st December. Pending the approval of Her Majesty's Secretary of State, arrangements have been made for the discharge of his duties departmentally.

57. Mr. MALSCH returned from 9 months' leave on the 17th November.

　　　58. The following officers have also been granted leave during the year:-Mr. SING QUA, draftsman, 1 month; Mr. THOMPSON, overseer of the Cemetery, 2 months; and Mr. CARROLL, Overseer of Sewerage Works, 6 months.

　　　59. Mr. KING, Land Bailiff, was absent through sickness for 10 weeks from the 22nd December, 1892, and Fu LUNG, Chinese foreman, died in January.

　　　60. Mr. BEAVIN, overseer of Repairs to Buildings, resigned on the 31st December, and arrange- ments have been made to fill the vacancy thus caused by the promotion of Mr. Moore. Mr. MUGFord, Sergeant R.E., has been selected to fill the place of the latter.

EXPENDITURE.

　　　61. I attach statements showing the expenditure on account of Annually Recurrent and Extra- ordinary Public Works (Appendices F and G).

W. DOBERCK,

Director.

Hongkong Observatory, 11th May, 1894.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 184.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory for 1893 is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th May, 1894.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

399

Hongkong OBSERVATORY,

26th April, 1894.

SIR,I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1893 to His Excellency the Governor. 2. My ninth volume of observations and researches was published last summer and the tenth volume is now being printed. It contains in addition to this report, the meteorological observations. made every hour in 1893, investigations of the typhoons of 1888 and 1889 and a report on the ten years' observations made at this Observatory during the years 1884 to 1893 inclusive (Appendix B) the latter arranged in such a form as to render it complete for purposes of harmonic analyses of the various meteorological elements, whereby constants may be calculated, by aid of which, single obser- vations, made at any hour, may be reduced to daily and monthly means.

　　3. The present appears to be an appropriate time for comparing the Observatory as now finally arranged with the scheme advocated by the late General H. S. PALMER, R.E., in his report of 17th July 1881 which was printed in the Government Gazette of the 3rd September of the same year.

　　4. In the astronomical and meteorological departments his suggestions have all been fully carried out, except in so far as regards the thermograph, in the latter branch. He proposed to erect this instrument in a detached hut whereas it was mountel in the main building. The introduction of the rotating thermometers in 1885 made, however, the observations of temperature and humidity independent of the position of the former apparatus. A King's barograph would be a useful addition to the meteorological recording instruments, as the record would be at once, available whereas the photographic curves from the present barograph cannot be utilized until after three days. This necessitates the reading of the barometer hourly by the staff by night as well as day

during the typhoon season. An anemograph was erected at Victoria Peak during the course of last summer as recommended by General PALMER.

　　5. With regard to magnetism his scheme included a complete set of continuously recording instruments which would have made our magnetic as complete as our meteorological returns, but only absolute magnetic observations are made at present. But in view of the fact that an immense material consisting of unreduced magnetic records has accumulated at several other Observatories, it would be, perhaps, of doubtful advantage to multiply such observations-the practical utility of which is probably as yet far distant-before the existing records have been discussed in an exhaustive manner and published by scientific authorities so much more as our time is fully occupied with more valuable work connected with typhoons and storm-warnings.

6. Tidal observations were also included in General PALMER'S scheme and these have been carried out during the three years (1887, 1888, 1889) by aid of Sir W. THOMSON'S autographic gauge. The instrument-since handed over to the Imperial Maritime Customs of China-has now been erected by them at Whampoa and when thirteen consecutive months' record has been obtained there, data will be available for studying the tides in the Canton or Pearl River after the methods devised and adopted by the late Sir George Biddell AIRY with regard to the Thames.

7. The Observatory building is considerably smaller than that proposed to be erected under General PALMER's scheine and although the staff has been increased, no further office accommodation has been provided. As a consequence the work is hampered and much inconvenience and loss of time results. An extension of the main building is urgently required.

8. The staff of this department is remunerated on a lower scale than that suggested by General PALMER and, moreover, the salaries were not increased in 1890 at the time general increases of about thirty-five per cent. were awarded to officials in other Government Departments. In the event of a vacancy arising, from any cause, amongst the foreign staff, it will be quite impossible to efficiently fill it on the present salary scale.

9. The China Coast Meteorological Register was issued as usual and since October 14th it has been printed daily at the Observatory by aid of a small fount of type and press. More copies are, therefore, now available than was formerly the case, and several spare copies are forwarded to the Harbour Office for the use of shipmasters who require them. Copies are generally affixed to the notice boards and distributed in the city by 11.30 a. Information regarding storms is telegraphed to and exhibited on the notice boards in Hougkong at other hours and as often as such information can be justified by the observations received. Any information issued or observations received too late to be embodied in the China Coast Meteorological Register will be supplied to shipmasters on application to the Observatory, so that they may thus obtain the latest available information before sailing.

10. With reference to para. 4 of my last annual report, I am now able to state that "Precedence. Urgency" has recently been granted for meteorological telegrams supplied to this department by the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies, free of all expense. This valuable concession on the part of the Companies cannot be too highly appreciated. The telegrams from some of the most important reporting stations come through the lines of the Chinese Telegraph Adminis- tration, and it is a matter for regret that such telegrams continue to be received too late, as a rule, to be of much service. (The Chinese Telegraph Administration granted "Precedence Urgency few days ago.) Victoria Peak and Gap Rock are not yet in direct communication with the Observatory, but it is probable that this improvement will be effected shortly. The important messages from these two stations, on which local warnings mainly depend, are often received too late.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

11. Telegraphic connection with Victoria was interrupted on the 15th May, 1893, from 10.57 a. to 6.50 p.; from the 16th May at 1 p. to the 17th May at 7.30 a.; on the 20th May, from 2.15 p. to 4.30 p.; on the 16th July, from 1 p. to 4.20 p.; on the 29th September, from noon to 6 p.; from the 2nd October at 7 a. to the 6th October at 1.30 p. Interruptions occurred therefore on 11 days and, of course, also during thunderstorms. Telephonic connection between the look-out on the Peak and the Post Office in Victoria (for transmitting observations every hour to the Observatory) was interrupted from the 11th August at 2 p. to the 13th August at 3 p.; from the 29th September at 6 a. to the 30th September at 6 a.; from the 2nd October at 6 a. to the 14th October at 6 a.; from 11 a. to 6 p. on the 25th October; from 11th November at 9 a. to the 12th November at 6 a., from 24th November at 9 a. to the 26th November at 6 a., and from 27th December at 5 p. to the 28th December at 9 a., i.e., on 26 days as well as during thunderstorms.

12. Telegrams giving information about typhoons were issued on 87 days. The Red Drum was hoisted 7 times, Red Ball 2, Red North Cone 6, Red South Cone 2, Black Drum 2, Black Ball 3, Black North Cone 2, Black South Cone 4, Lanterns (vertically) 1. The Gun was fired one round 4 times, and two rounds 1 time.

13. During 1893, in addition to meteorological registers kept at about 40 stations on shore, 672 ship-logs with entries during typhoons have been received. 284 were forwarded by Captains, 388 were copied on board ship in the harbour. The ship-logs, collected in 1893, were thus distributed: for 1891, 1 log; for 1892, 16 logs; for 1893, 655 logs. The total number of ships, whose log-books have been made use of, was 289. The total number of days' observations was 8174. 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.

　　　　　14. The following is a list of ships from which logs have been obtained in 1893; those to which* is prefixed have been communicated directly by their respective Captains, and the remainder have been copied on board the several vessels. The majority are steam-ships and the others are distinguished as follows:-b, barque; s, ship; sch., schooner; bqt., barquentine.

The entry of observations in degree squares for the area named in my last annual report has been continued and 31260 observations, distributed as shown by the following table, have been so entered during 1893. It is to be regretted that more time cannot be spent on this work. At the present rate of progress, it is not expected that sufficient data for the construction of pilot charts will have been collected and made available until the expiration of another five years. By aid of such charts, when constructed, a shipmaster will know the normal conditions as regards wind, weather and pressure in the latitude and longitude his vessel may at the time happen to be situated in, and this, combined with a knowledge of the "Law of Storms in the Eastern seas ", should be of great assistance to him and enable him to so navigate his vessel as to avoid typhoons. They will, in fact, serve to some extent in lieu of stormwarnings at sea, besides being valuable as shewing the most favourable routes at all times.

　　　16. During last summer two lectures on Typhoons have been given before the British Mercantile Marine Officers Association of Hongkong. These lectures have been very extensively reprinted and quoted in Europe and elsewhere, and a second edition will shortly be issued. Storm warnings cannot of course reach those at sea but by means of these lectures in conjunction with observations made on board according to the "Instructions for making meteorological observations in China" and a comparison of the warnings issued from the Observatory on arrival in port, much experience of navigating during the typhoon season may be gained by mariners.

　　　17. Tri-hourly observations have been made by the keepers at the Gap Rock lighthouse, which is situated about 32 miles to the SSW of Hongkong Observatory, since the end of 1892. The following table exhibits the montbly means of these observations. The first column gives the difference of barometric pressure, Observatory minus lighthouse, reduced to M.S.L., and appears to indicate that the daily variation is less at the lighthouse than at the Observatory. The second column shows the direction of the wind which has a greater annual variation than at the Observatory being more northerly in winter and more southerly in summer. The third column exhibits the wind force to decimals of Beaufort's scale. It is on an average twice as great as at the Observatory, but has a much smaller annual variation than in Hongkong. The fourth exhibits the sea disturbance (0-9). It varies as the wind force.

18. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc.," (Kelly and Walsh, 1892) meteorological instruments forwarded by observers who regularly send their registers to the Observatory, are verified here free of cost. During the past year, 2 barometers, 3 aneroids, 13 thermometers and I raingauge were verified. In addition a large number of marine barometers and aneroids on board ship were compared, indirectly, with the Observatory standard.

19. The following table shows the spectroscopic rainband as observed daily at 10 a. The mean value for the year was 2.6:-

20. The tide tables for the port of Hongkong for 1894 are based on the analysis of the hourly readings of tides in 1887 and 1888. The harmonic analysis of the tides for 1889 has now been completed under the supervision of Professor G. H. DARWIN of Cambridge.

21. The number of transits observed in 1893 was 680, the inclination of the axis was determined 261 times, and the Pole Star was observed 39 times for the determination of the azimuth and collimation errors, as well as to ascertain the wire intervals, a new series of wires having being inserted in the diaphragm of the Transit Instrument on July 13. The following miscellaneous observations have been made:-

The azimuth of the meridian mark above the remainder (528) being for time determination. Wanchai was determined three 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. Neither of the clocks has been cleaned during the year but it was found convenient to accelerate the rate of Dent on April 25 and of Brock on December 21. The existence of waves of rather long period as stated in the report of 1892 is again indicated, but an examination of the daily rates of the Brock clock shows that a variation having a period of seven days only also exists, the clock going faster after winding than before. The same period is indicated but in a less distinct manner in the length of the arc of vibration which increases with the accelerated rate.

22. During the year 1893 the Time Ball has been dropped daily except on Government holidays. On the 22nd On some other days it was not possible to drop it owing to the following causes. January an assistant was ill. On July 20th and 23rd thunderstorms were raging. On September 10th the line was broken by a falling tree and on the 11th it was under repair. On September 28th, 29th, October 2nd and 8th heavy gales were blowing. On November 27th the ball failed to drop owing to thickened oil around the top of the shaft. The Ball was dropped 343 times and failed once during the year. The following table shows the daily error.

23. Some of the principal duties of the staff are at present 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, (1897 hours) makes astronomical and magnetic observations, regulates clocks and enters observations in the degree squares.

Mr. F. G. FIGG, First Assistant, (1889 hours) attends to storm-warnings and weather- forecasts and investigates typhoons.

Miss A. DOBERCK, Assistant Meteorologist, (1757 hours) copies log-books and makes weather maps.

Mr. Ho To SHANG, Second Assistant, (1981 hours) hoists and sets the Time Ball and attends to the continuous records and construction of the monthly and annual Weather Reports, in which he is assisted by two native clerks, one (1871 hours), of whom besides The revision of the attends to electric, and the other (2007 hours), to photographic work. above work is undertaken by the foreign staff.

　　　24. Observations of magnetic declination and horizontal force were made with the unifilar magnetometer Elliott Brothers, No. 55, and the dips were observed with dip-circle, Dover No. 71. The observations have been made on two days bi-monthly instead of on one day monthly as in former

years.

　　　The methods adopted in making the observations and in determining and applying the corrections are explained in Appendix G. of Observations and Researches made in 1885; "On the verification of the unifilar magnetometer Elliott Brothers No. 55." The value of log 2 K was 3.44910 at 25°. The value of P was +8.50. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.45617 in English units and 595.57 in C.G.S. units.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

407

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

The observations of horizontal force are expressed in C.G.S. units (one centimeter, one gramme, one second), but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the horizontal, as well as Y, the vertical, and total forces, which have been computed by aid of the observed dips, and their value are also given in English units (one foot, one grain, one second) and in Gauss's units (one millimeter, one milligram, one second).

25. 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.

26. 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 baro- grams.

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 thermometer. 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 of 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 2 directions, according to strictly accurate formula, and also the mean direction of the wind.

Below this is printed a list of the phenomena observed.

27. The following annual Weather Report for 1893 is arranged as follows:-

Table VII. exhibits the mean values for the year (or hourly excess above this) obtained from the monthly reports. The total duration of rain was 908 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on 153 days.

Table VIII. exhibits the number of hours during a portion of which at least 0.005 inch of rain (or dew) was registered.

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

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

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

Table XII. is arranged as last year.

Table XIII. exhibits the monthly and annual extremes. The extremes of humidity and vapour tension are only approximate as the hourly values were not calculated.

Table XIV. contains five-day means.

Tables XV., XVI., XVII. contain magnetic observations.

Appendix B.

THE CLIMATE OF HONGKONG INVESTIGATED FROM TEN YEARS' OBSERVATIONS.

　　　　The Colony of Hongkong is situated within the tropics, but the winter is cool, its mean tempera- ture being about 60°, whereas the mean temperature of the summer rises a little above 80°. There is a large and well marked variation of climate, but it is very hot in the sun all the year round. Palm trees, rice and sugar canes grow here. Pumelos, oranges and pine-apples are amongst the most extensively cultivated crops opposite on the mainland, but do not thrive in the Colony on account of unsuitability of soil. About forty species of palms from all parts of the world thrive in the Botanic Gardens, and from temperate regions many coniferous trees thrive side by side with tropical palms. The conifers are from Japan, Queensland, the Cape and India (Himalaya). The Norfolk Island Pine is quite at home here. Banian trees are common and bamboos attain to great size. not come to perfection as the winter temperature is not low enough to harden the wood.

　　　　In spring, between the two monsoons, bronchial catarrh and pneumonia are prevalent. Measles, mumps and simple continued fevers are very common.

　　　In summer, the dampness of the air is excessive. Europeans suffer much from prickly heat and similar diseases, produced in consequence of the heat and dampness. The Chinese are also very subject to diseases of the skin, especially the different varieties of Tinea. Malarial fevers and diarrhoea are the worst hot weather diseases, the former chiefly of an intermittent type in summer. They are worst in August and September, when the Colony is under the influence of the high-pressure areas preceding and lying to the north of typhoons. In these areas the wind is light and the air descending, so that it is stifling, dusty, and probably full of bacteria. Want of sleep during such weather tends to produce anamia from loss of appetite and thereby lays the foundation for many diseases such as diseases of the brain.

In autumn, the dampness of the air decreases, and the temperature falls often rather suddenly when the NE monsoon sets in. This causes affections of the chest and catarrhs, but Europeans enjoy almost an immunity from phthisis while to Eurasians this is an ever present scourge. Malarial fevers assume more frequently the remittent and bilious remittent type. Beri-beri is frequent among the natives, but cholera is never more than a minor evil in Hongkong.

This is the worst disease of

In winter, dysentery-the dreaded scourge of the Pacific-occurs. the Chinese coast, and often leads to abscess of the liver. Small-pox is endemic and occasionally epidemic. Typhoid fever is very rare, but typho-malarial fevers are more common during the end of the winter and also in spring along the southern coast of China and Annam.

　　　The most unhealthy places are situated in ravines between the hills, near marshy land or paddy fields. In such places malaria is deadly. Between one and two thousand feet up on the hills the air is pure and fever less common and of a milder type, which is as a rule easily cured by quinine. It is more agreeable to live in the upper regions although the air is frequently saturated with moisture.

Table I. exhibits the mean height of the barometer reduced to the freezing temperature of water, but not to the sea level, together with its annual and daily variations. For the months January- March inclusive, the diurnal variation is obtained from 9 years' observations only (1885-1893 inclusive), but the annual means depend on ten years' observations as the monthly means for January-March 1884 were obtained from readings made at 10 a. and 4 μ. The data are of great practical importance as the diurnal variation although lessened in damp weather is not much influenced by storms. During the approach and continuance of a typhoon it is necessary to correct the readings for daily variation in order to know how much the mercury is falling or rising and when the lowest reading has been reached.

　　　Table II. gives the mean temperature for each month of the year. The means for 1884 were obtained from thermometers in a Stevenson's screen, the readings being reduced to true air temperature. The hourly variation of temperature depends upon 9 years' observations only. The highest tempera- ture occurs between 1 p. and 2 p., and the lowest near 6 a. in winter and about 5 a. in summer, that is, just before sunrise. The daily variation is least in March and greatest in December. The tem- perature of February is very different in different years being high when the amount of sunshine happens to be great and low if the amount of clouds is great. The mean temperature of the last five years was about 4° above the temperature of the first five years.

　　　Tables III. and IV. give the mean humidity and the tension of aqueous vapour respectively, and the daily variations to which they are subject. For the first three months the daily variations depend upon 9 years' observations only. The humidity rises after sunset and remains nearly constant during the night, and is least about 1 p., varying inversely with the temperature, while the actual amount of vapour is greatest a few hours after sunset, and least shortly after sunrise.

　　　Table V. gives the average amount of bright sunshine. It is least in March and steadily increases to a maximum in October, after which it steadily diminishes to its minimum. The daily maximum occurs shortly after noon and there is more sunshine in the afternoon than in the forenoon. There is

a slight decrease in the amount of sunshine near noon during the middle of the summer, which is due to a rather marked increase in the amount of clouds about that time. The entries of January and February are the means of 9 years only and the percentages of possible sunshine for these two months given in the last column are also derived from the observations of 9 years-1885-1893 inclusive.

　　　Table VI. exhibits the mean rainfall. The hourly values for January and February are the means of 9 years only. It shows also the hourly intensity, which is greatest about noon, and least during the hours between sunset and midnight; while the rainfall itself is a maximum about 9 a. and a minimum about sunset. As more than two-thirds of the yearly rainfall occur during the months May-August the above remarks apply principally to that season, and a more extended series of observations would be required in order to show whether the same laws hold good for the drier months of the year. Most rain falls in June and least in November. The rainfall in October is very variable. Sometimes there is hardly any rain, while in other years there is heavy rain, usually owing to typhoons.

　　　Table VII. gives the number of hours during a portion of which rain was registered. This was six or seven times larger in July than in November. Rain falls more frequently at and near sunrise than at sunset particularly in summer. The values for the first two months are the means of 9 years only.

Table VIII. shows the mean velocity of the wind. This is greatest in spring when the trade- wind and the easterly monsoon co-operate and least in August when the southerly monsoon is blowing. Inversely the daily variation is greatest in August and least in February. The wind is strongest about 1 p., and least shortly after sunset. In winter, at times when the North-east trade-wind blows strongly, its force is often greatest at night, or during the early morning hours. The diurnal variation for January and February is the mean of 9 years only.

Table IX. gives the mean direction of the wind. This veers from ENE in November to SSE in August, but the changes from month to month are slight so long as the North-East monsoon prevails, becoming more rapid as summer approaches. While the change from NE monsoon to S monsoon is moderately gradual, the change from S to NE is very sudden. The wind veers daily from the hour of minimum till the hour of maximum temperature, the daily variation being greatest in summer when the wind is slight. The diurnal variation for January and February is the mean of nine years' observations only.

Table X. gives the mean components of the wind and the resultant force. For January and February the results depend on nine years' observations only.

Table XI. exhibits the four yearly means (1885-1888 inclusive) of total annual amount, duration and velocity of winds from different quarters. Three quarters of it come from E and NE.

Table XII. gives the number of days for each month of the year that the wind came from eight different points of the compass. The great preponderance of easterly wind exists throughout the year though it is less marked during the summer months. The results depend on four years' observations only, 1890-1893.

　　　　Table XIII. shows that fogs are common in March and occur also during typhoons in August and September. Electric phenomena prevail throughout the summer months, particularly in July and August. Unusual visibility of distant objects occurs most frequently when the air is cleared from dust by heavy rain in June, July and August. Dew is common in August when also halos and coronas are most frequent. Rainbows are comparatively rare in hot countries where the rain is so heavy and the sun usually too high in the sky. The annual average number of lunar coronce noted during the first five years is 14, while during the last five it is 67. This is due to having the sky more closely watched during the night of late years.

Cirrus is most frequent during Small cumulus is most frequently earlier part of the North-east

Table XV. shows the amount of clouds. March is the most cloudy month and the cloudiness steadily diminishes till October (inversely with the amount of sunshine, see Table V) and then increases. On an average there are more clouds at sunrise than about midnight. But looking at the different seasons, it is seen that in summer the amount is greatest in the afternoon and least about midnight, while in winter the amount is greatest during the early morning hours and least in the afternoon.

　　　　Table XVI. exhibits the monthly extremes registered. The extreme temperatures are derived from nine years only (1885-1893). The wind velocity in January and February is derived from the same nine years and so also is the solar radiation. The range of vapour tension will be seen to be enormous. The daily maximum of rain occurred on May 29, 1889 when 27.440 inches of rain fell between 6.30 a of that day and the same hour on the 30th. The minimum temperature occurred during the cold wave in January 1893 when owing to the dryness of the air at the same time, water froze readily at the observatory and down to very nearly the sea level and much tropical vegetation was destroyed.

Table XVII. exhibits various data. The barometric tide is large in winter (when the air is dry) and small in summer (when it is damp). The mean diurnal variability of temperature-the mean of the differences of temperature of each day and the next-is greatest in winter. This has been determined from the means of nine years only (1885-1893). The number of days on which at least 0.01 inch of rain fell at the Observatory was a minimum in November and a maximum in June and July. The hourly intensity of rain is greatest in July and least in February. The directions whence clouds in different levels come, together with the wind directions given in Table IX prove the direction of the wind to veer on ascending in the atmosphere. The height of the lower clouds is least in April and greatest in November. The height which it is necessary to ascend in the atmosphere in order to reduce the temperature of the air by one degree is greatest in March when clouds are most prevalent and least in June. It is likewise small in November when they are a minimum. These results depend on eight years' observations only (1884-1891).

Table XVIII. gives the average results of the solar radiation thermometer, the maximum and minimum thermometers, and the mean daily range of temperature founded on the observations of nine years (1885-1893) and also the weight of aqueous vapour in a cubic foot of air in troy grains which depends upon the observations during the entire period.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 185.

The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1893 is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 12th May, 1894.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

BOTANIC GARDENS, HONGKONG, 7th May, 1894.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on this Department for the year 1893.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

　　　The grounds, plant-houses, buildings, fences, walks, and collections of plants have all been maintained in good order, and improvements have been effected in various directions. Some of the concreted walks are becoming a little rough by wear and weather and will need re-making before long. The smaller of the underground drains beneath level walks, in consequence of the want of steeper gradients, are subject to continual blocking by accumulations of debris within them. These should all be taken up and relaid some time when there are sufficient funds.

Improvements.

　　　2. An additional glass-roofed plant-house 50 feet long by 12 feet wide, situated in the nursery has been completed. The wood-work has been chiefly made and fitted by our carpenter who is on the staff. The glass-houses in the nursery are now nearly sufficient for our needs for nursery purposes, One more small addition will complete the requirements.

　　　　3. Certain walks in the Botanical and Government House Gardens have been concreted. These additions now finish all that is needed in this kind of walk formation.

4. Extensions have been made to rockeries where circumstances rendered these necessary.

Lawns.

5. Towards the end of the summer the moths and caterpillars mentioned in paragraph No. 14 of my last report again appeared, but having learnt by past experience the habits of these pests their advent was anticipated, and on their first appearance remedies for their destruction were at once applied and maintained at regular intervals until the termination of their season of activity. By these means the lawns were preserved from serious injury.

Dr. A. GUNTHER, F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History), to whom I sent specimens of the larva, chrysalids, and moths for determination, has very kindly informed me that its name is Thialleta signifera, (Walk.). The chief injury to the grass is caused by this species, but another one which appears simultaneously with the Thialleta is also respon- sible for some damage. This one Dr. GUNTHER has also determined from specimens which I sent. It is Pharazia bicarsisatis (Walk.).

Children continue to run over places where grass should be, but which they have long ago As the attendants and police are unable to prevent this, it would be advisable to provide low iron fences, on the margins of walks where children chiefly congregate, of only sufficient height to prevent the children leaving the walks. The ordinary annual vote has not hitherto provided means for procuring such a fence.

7. One of the four large clumps of clipped Pittosporum Tobira on the terrace below the fountain died during the year. This causes a temporary incompleteness in the arrangement, but new plants have been put in the place of those which died. The old ones had occupied the position, as have those which remain, for about 30 years.

Excessive Cold in January.

8. On the 15th, 16th, and 17th of January Hongkong was visited by the coldest weather ever known here, when the temperature in the Gardens fell to 31° F. This was the subject of a Special Report which I submitted on February 4th, and to which there is little now to add. Within the Gardens the most regrettable losses by cold were many valuable orchids. Many inside the houses were killed, and all the plants of Phalaenopsis amabilis, P. Schilleriana, and Saccolabium giganteum growing on a tree of Ficus retusa were killed. These had been placed on the tree a few years before and were well established and beginning to be a special feature.

　　　9. For the cultivation of beautiful and tender orchids glass-houses should be provided. Experi- ments in the nursery glass-houses have conclusively proved the great advantages to many orchids

which glass affords not only in the cold of winter but in the heat and rains in summer. These popular and lovely plants should now be provided for on a scale which their merits deserve. A special effort for this purpose would be amply rewarded, but this effort cannot be exerted to much further advantage unless supported by special pecuniary means.

Plant Sales.

12. Each year brings increased demands for plants. The total sold was 3,439, which realised $714.99; this is an increase of $102.42 over the amount obtained in 1892.

The number of separate orders for plants was 409.

Loan of Plants for Decoration.

13. In this service there was also increased activity, 4,087 plants were lent on 25 applications. This is an increase of 1,341 plants and 9 applications beyond the figures of the preceding year.

Plant Collecting.

　　　　　14. One of our staff was sent to Hainan to collect living plants, and to obtain and dry specimens for the herbarium. He was absent for about seven months and was successful in sending back about 400 dried specimens, a fair proportion of them new to our collections. I have spent as much time as could be obtained in determining them, those which are indeterminable here will be forwarded to Kew for completion there with the kind consent of the Director and assistance of the Herbarium Staff, from all of whom very valuable services are always rendered as their time will permit, when plants are sent for identification.

　　　　　In addition to the dried plants about 900 living ones were sent up in good condition, besides a quantity of seeds. Amongst the plants were several orchids of a showy character which are welcome acquisitions for the orchid houses.

　　　　　My best thanks are due to the Rev. A. E. STREET, of Nadoa, for having most kindly given much assistance in looking after the collector, paying his wages, and forwarding the collections to Hongkong. I have also to thank Mr. G. J. LITTON, of Canton, for having, when he was in Hainan, kindly taken the collector with him into districts which otherwise would not have been entered by the collector.

Rainfall Observations.

　　　　　15. Records of rainfall observed in the Gardens are given in appendix A., and for the sake of comparison those taken at the Observatory at Kowloon are attached in appendix B. The observations at each establishment were taken at 10 a.m. I am indebted to Dr. DOBERCK for kindly supplying me with the Observatory records.

Herbarium and Library.

16. Some hundreds of plants have been mounted and incorporated in the collections in cabinets. These collections are composed of Hongkong, Chinese and Japanese plants, and various species which have flowered for the first time in the Gardens.

17. A collection of about 350 well preserved plants were purchased from a Japanese botanist in Japan. They were all Japanese plants.

18. Hitherto the collection of Hongkong plants has been incorporated throughout the General Collection, but in consequence of the large number of plants in the latter it was becoming inconvenient to retain them any longer together, therefore I have separated the General from the Hongkong Collection, so that for purposes of reference when Hongkong plants only are wanted the work is greatly facilitated.

FORESTRY.

20. The most suitable lands for tree growth are being rapidly filled up, and in consequence of this and the yearly increase of attention which established plantations require a commencement has been made of gradually diminishing the yearly plantings. The total number of trees planted was 279,648, which I propose to further decrease to a quantity not exceeding 100,000 per annum in future. Hitherto a good deal of work has been done by sowing seeds in situ, (in little pits where no trans- planting is required); the area of land suitable for this method of cultivation is now about exhausted, therefore future work will be almost entirely confined to actual planting.

21. A very large extent of land is entirely unfitted for tree growth on account of its exposure to winds, scarcity and poverty of soil, and arid nature. This unsuitability prevails over all the hill tops, except in very few little spots, and on many wind-swept ridges and breasts on lower levels. Nearly all aspects at the eastern end of the Island where the north-east winds blow on them with their full force throughout half the year will never produce respectable trees. In past years experiments were made in many such places, and these experiments have fully demonstrated what I now state. Trees will grow for a few years, but when above the small shelter they receive from herbage and other small obstacles they dwindle away.

　　　22. On the other hand where trees have been planted in sheltered ravines and on southern and western aspects where the north-east winds cannot reach them except with abated force, success has been perfect.

　　　　　　　As instances of this I may point out the stretches of land from the West Point Batteries to Pokefoolum, and round from thence to Deep Water Bay, in the Happy Valley, Causeway Bay hills, Quarry Bay, Kowloon, &c.

23. Statistics of the Planting in 1893 are given in appendix C.

Flague of Caterpillars.

24. Great difficulties have always presented themselves in effectually carrying on forestry work, but most of them have been surmounted by incessant application of watchfulness and energy. A new foe of great power presented itself last year in the shape of a caterpillar which in millions attacked pine trees in Kowloon and on the Quarry Bay hills. This pest is the caterpillar of a large moth, Eutricha punctata, (Walk.) which was kindly determined for me by Dr. GUNTHER, F.R.S., from specimens I sent to him in different stages, at the same time as those I alluded to in paragraph No. 5 of this report.

436

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

　　　The caterpillars were discovered in the latter part of the summer on trees from 3 feet to 15 feet in height which they completely stripped of all their leaves. Remedies were at once attempted, but nothing except handpicking or knocking them off the trees and then killing them while on the ground was effective, and this method of dealing with them was impracticable on account of its cost and the impossibility of discovering the caterpillars shaken off the trees when they fell in long grass. More- over coolies refused to continue the work on account of the great irritation of their skin caused by the caterpillars' hairs which found their way under loose clothing. At Quarry Bay the men also suffered so severely from fever that they could not be kept there; two men came back and died of fever after a few days spent on the hills.

The coolies were living in tents. Coolies employed by our contractors are generally housed in matsheds for some kinds of work. These methods of housing have to be adopted in a good deal of work in distant parts. Tents and sheds are moved from place to place as work progresses. Coolies in sheds and tents alike in many parts of the Colony are greatly subject to sickness, but in some places much more than in others. The neighbourhood of Quarry Bay is not more unhealthy than a great many other places where men have been located.

25. It was anticipated that pine trees generally could not recover after their leaves were entirely eaten away, and time has now proved the correctness of that view. At the time of now writing the removal of dead trees at Quarry Bay has just been completed, the number being 30,219.

26. This scourge, I am informed, is not unknown on the mainland, but the year before last was the first appearance of the caterpillar which I have observed in Hongkong. In that year only one small spot in Kowloon was effected.

27. While I am writing (April, 1894) another visitation of caterpillars of a different species to the two which infest lawns, and the one which has destroyed pine trees is actively at work stripping "banians" (Ficus retusa) of their leaves. They have suddenly appeared in Kowloon, at East Point, West Point, and other places in Hongkong; many large trees having been reduced to the appearance of dead ones. A large staff of men are being employed to beat the branches and thus knock off the caterpillars which are then swept up on the roads beneath the trees and destroyed.

　　　This is also the first appearance of caterpillars in such vast numbers on these trees. These enormous increases of caterpillars are difficult to account for, but it is possible that the enemies of the Pinus and Ficus tree caterpillars and moths may have succumbed to the severe cold weather which was experienced in January of 1893.

Thinning of Plantations, &c.

　　　28. The usual work has been carried on satisfactorily by the contractor throughout the year. The plantations dealt with were chiefly in the districts around Aberdeen and Little Hongkong. The number of trees cut out was 31,643.

　　　29. The total income from forestry products was $577.06, of which, however, $24 was a sale of purchased seeds.

Appendix D gives the usual statistics of this work.

Transplanting Trees.

30. The completion of the section of the Praya Reclamation opposite the Cricket Ground added a piece of land to that recreation ground at its north-west corner, and this necessitated the removal of six large, so called "banian" trees,-Ficus retusa. Five of these trees were, although very large (being about 25 feet in diameter and the same in height), worth an effort to transplant them to the margin of the new ground. The trunks of the trees were about six feet in circumference.

　　　I had the branches cut back and the trunks and large branches wrapped in straw-bands, then their roots were bared and likewise cut back. While this was being done scaffolding was erected around the tree and when the latter was carefully prepared it was lifted out of its site by means of a Weston's Block and Chain capable of raising 4 tons, then dragged to its new site by means of a winch and lowered carefully into its place by the same block and chain which had been brought and placed on scaffolding over the new hole into which the tree was placed. Each tree was treated in the same manner, and afterwards carefully stayed and watered. The work was perfectly successful; all the trees have made vigorous shoots from the old wood, and good heads are already formed.

Camphor Trees.

31. These trees, which have been regularly planted for some years past amongst the pines in older plantations, having made very fair progress were being interfered with by pines in too close proximity, therefore the whole of the plantations were examined, all encroaching pines removed, and the camphors pruned. Camphors planted eight years ago which are in good soil are now about 14 feet high, but those of the same age in poor soil are only about 3 feet, the trees vary in height between these two measurements according to their more or less favourable environments.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1894.

Protective Service.

437

　　32. The Forest Guards caused 105 cases to be brought before the Magistrates; 100 convictions were obtained. This is an increase of 4 cases over those of 1892 and of 8 convictions. 23 convicted persons paid fines amounting to $126.50, a decrease of 6 persons, and an increase of $39, respectively, over the figures of the previous year. The lowest fine was 50 cents and the highest $16.

　　The offences consisted chiefly of cutting down trees, breaking off branches, and grazing goats and cattle in prohibited places. The number of trees surreptitiously cut down was 456 scattered over about 50 different places.

　　33. A good deal of damage continues to be done to the Chinese New Year shrub Enkianthus quinqueflorus when it is in flower, and increasing injury to ornamental flowering and other shrubs and trees is done by the servants of foreigners, chiefly residents at the Peak, who are sent out regularly to procure decorations for their employers' rooms. I made the attempt of rearing ornamental flowering trees and shrubs on the hills and places adjacent to roads for the purpose of improving landscape effects, but I regret to say, that the action of foreign residents, or their employees, have quite discouraged this work, as it is impossible to preserve the trees from being wrecked when in flower.

34. The number of Forest Guards was increased from three to five which has enabled a little closer supervision to be exercised over trees during the year.

Jungle Fires.

　　35. Only 22 fires occurred as against 63 in the previous year, but these destroyed 4,000 trees, double the quantity burnt by the 1892 fires.

　　36. It is impossible to obtain positive evidence of the way in which fires originate, but I have no doubt that grasscutters and those who rake up pine leaves and collect cones for fuel are greatly responsible; the careless use of matches by smokers probably being the cause. These people cannot be prevented from cutting grass and raking leaves on unenclosed lands, as their work is not illegal. The importance of preventing fires now that so many trees are jeopardised by them indicates the

‧ advisability of considering whether the existing Ordinances should not be amended in order that effective control may be exercised over the large number of people who find employment on lands where trees need better protection.

　　37. One of the most destructive fires of the season was, apparently, started by a picnic party at Deep Water Bay; the party, I was informed, made off in a steam launch without taking any steps to subdue or report the fire.

　　38. Ancestral worship at tombs takes place chiefly on particular days in spring and autumn, and this unfortunately is when vegetation (in consequence of its being the dry season) is in its most combustible state. I have taken the precaution of posting on these days the whole of the forestry staff, supported by extra coolies, amounting in all to about 80 men, all over the Island on points of vantage where they could most promptly and efficiently subdue any fires which the worshippers started near graves or cemeteries.

In addition placards in Chinese, drawn up by the Registrar General, warning people to be specially careful in the use of fire, have been distributed and posted up.

These precautions have had a most beneficial effect in diminishing the number and extent of fires.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

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.

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.

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.

　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to inform you that upon hearing that libellous placards respecting the treatment of Chinese patients in Hongkong were being circulated in Tongkoon and Fatshan, and that the safety of foreigners residing there was threatened, I requested the Viceroy to have proclamations issued in these towns; and His Excellency has at once complied. I beg to enclose copy and trans- lation of the instructions which the Viceroy informs me he has addressed to the two Magistrates.

BYRON BRENAN,

In Viceroy's Despatch of 5th June, 1894.

Instructions from the Viceroy to the Sub-prefect of Fatshan, and the Magistrate of Tongkoon. The Viceroy has received communications from the British and from the U.S. Consuls on the subject of the false rumours which have arisen in consequence of the measures taken to arrest the plague in Hongkong.

　　　　In Hongkong other regulations have been put in force under which the Tung-Wa Hospital treat patients according to Chinese methods; and nothing in the nature of post mortem examination takes place. These are falsifications invented by story spreading, trouble creating scoundrels, and no one should on any account be misled by them.

The Officials addressed shall within two days issue a proclamation and take effective steps to keep people in order, to admonish them and to prevent any trouble arising.

(b) Bye-law No. 12 of the Bye-laws of the 11th day of May 1894, is hereby lamended by inserting the words "not less than immediatey after the words A Permanent Committee of " in the first line of the said Bye-law.

(c) The Bye-laws of the 31st May 1894, are hereby amended by substituting the words "lime-washed," "lime- "" and "color-wash- washing" for the words "color-washed ing," wherever they occur in the said Bye-laws, and further by striking out the words "and the expenses of removing the occupants" to the words "on the Colony" in Bye-law No. 6 of the said last mentioned Bye-laws, and by substituting the words "Secretary of the Sanitary Board" for the words "Colonial Treasurer" in the same Bye-law.

2. The said Bye-laws shall, notwithstanding anything contained in the said section 31 of The Public Health Ordinance, 1887, or in the said Proclamation of the 6th day of June 1894, remain in force until revoked by Procla- mation of the Governor in Council and in so far as such Proclamation shall not extend.

3. No action, suit, or other proceeding civil or criminal shall be commenced, taken, or brought, or if already com- menced continued against the Sanitary Board or any officer or servant thereof or against the Permanent Committee appointed under the said Bye-laws of the 11th day of May 1894, or against any person whomsoever deputed or employed by the Sanitary Board or the said Permanent Committee for or in respect of any act, matter or thing here- tofore done or executed by them bona fide under or by virtue of the said Bye-laws of the 11th day of May 1894, and the 31st day of May 1894, or any of them.

5.

The following Report of the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon for 1893, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 11th instant, is published.

By Command,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 16th June, 1894.

SANITARY BOARD OFFICES,

HONGKONG, May 17th, 1894.

SIR,I have the honour to submit, for the information of the Sanitary Board, my Annual Report

for the past year which also includes that for the last quarter of 1893.

I have the honour to be,

The Acting Secretary,

SANITARY Board.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

C. VIVIAN LADDS, Colonial Veterinary Surgeon.

REPORT.

INSPECTION OF CATTLE.

　　　1. During the past year no cases of infectious or contagious disease amongst cattle were brought to my notice, the health of all animals in the Colony being exceptionally good, though the quality of many of the cattle which were imported for slaughtering purposes left much to be desired.

　　　2. In the early part of the year a difficulty arose between the Mandarins of the districts around Canton, from which many cattle are imported, and the agents and dealers who supply the Hongkong market, but upon reference to the Honourable the Registrar General the matter was satisfactorily adjusted. During the second quarter of the year, the importation of cattle from the Swatow district was largely interfered with by floods.

　　　3. I regret that so far nothing has been done to provide Inspection Lairs to which all animals should be conveyed directly upon landing there to remain at least 12 hours before being inspected and passed into the permanent depots or elsewhere.

　　　I reported to the Board upon this matter as far back as 1888 and in my Annual Report for the year 1892, I again referred to the subject and pointed out that even where this method was adopted occasional cases of disease escaped detection, hence it will be easy to understand the risk attendant upon the present system of animal inspection in Hongkong where we have no such lairs at all.

CATTLE DEPOTS.

4. The health of the animals housed in the Government Cattle Depot during the year was good, but as before mentioned their quality was not quite up to the usual standard. In the twelve months 17,222 animals were admitted into the depot and passed as fit to be slaughtered for human food, whilst 451 were rejected as unfit; the principal reason for rejection being their extreme emaciation.

　　　5. Nothing has yet been done to establish a permanent Cattle Depot at Kowloon where cattle might be housed until slaughtered instead of being allowed to wander all over the district as at present. Given a building of this description it would be an easy matter to control an outbreak of disease at Kowloon, but as things stand now should an epidemic occur it would be very difficult to confine it to the peninsula.

I do not think that an Inspection Lair is required for Kowloon at present, but that a permanent depot is very necessary and would answer every purpose.

SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

6. Victoria.-The new slaughter house at Kennedy Town is rapidly approaching completion, and I hope to see it ready for occupation shortly. The building at present in use is in a good state of repair, but, owing to the large increase in the number of animals for slaughter during the last few years, the accommodation is very cramped and inconvenient.

7. Hung Hom.-This building is in a good state of repair, and meets a requirement which was sadly needed at Kowloon.

530

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH JUNE, 1894,

8. Shaukiwan.-The temporary building is in good repair, but no provision has yet been made for a proper slaughter house for this village.

9. In the case of the European Community the consumption of animal food appears to have varied but little during the past five years, but that which may be classed as purely Native food, viz., pork, has increased considerably.

10. The total number of animals slaughtered annually in the above three buildings during this period is as follows:--

1889,. 1890,

Cattle.

Sheep and Goats.

Swine.

...17,863

10,110

119,856

.18,519

10,091

123,833

1891,.... 1892,

...

1893,..

.18,218 ...18,180 ...........17,866

9,673

122.942

11,571

126,766

11,770

131,298

The decrease in the number of sheep and swine for the year 1891 is due to a short supply owing to disease in the districts from which these animals are imported.

DAIRIES.

　　　11. During the past year no serious cases of disease occurred in any of the dairies of the Colony and they are generally in a satisfactory condition though there yet remain many improvements which might be effected by the native dairymen with advantage both to themselves and their customers.

12. As far back as 1889 I recommended that no dairies be licensed by the Board within the precincts of the City, but I regret to note that no steps have yet been taken to consider my suggestion.

MARKETS.

　　　13. The temporary Central, Western, Taipingshan, Saiyingpoon, Shek tongsui, Wanchai, Sokonpoo, Shaukiwan, Yaumati, and Hung Hom Markets are all in a good state of repair and amendment, most of the stalls (with the exception of Taipingshan) are let and the general routine work has gone on without interruption.

In a report to the Board dated 11th August, 1893, I pointed out that the Taipingshan Market had always been unpopular and that only 36 out of 74 stalls were rented and these only at nominal rates.

　　　Considering the close proximity of the Western Market I do not think that the one at Taiping- shan has ever been required and I therefore recommend that it be closed.

14. The building of the new Central Market progresses favourably and when completed will supply a long felt want, the present temporary building leaving much to be desired both as regards position and accommodation.

15. During the past year the convictions obtained at the Police Court for breaches of the Markets Ordinance were 93 as against 280 for the previous year.

I am glad to note that offences against this Ordinance are gradually decreasing year by year.

STAFF.

16. Inspector of Markets.-I am pleased to report that Inspector FISHER has performed the duties of the office in his usual energetic and trustworthy manner. The markets of the Colony have never been in a better state than at present and this, I attribute, to be chiefly due to his attention and

perseverance.

17. Interpreter.-Mr. G. A. Souza has done good service in this capacity.

18. Watchmen.-The market watchmen were first appointed in the year 1887 and continued to serve in the markets until June 1892, during the whole of which time I regret to add they gave little satisfaction.

Acting upon my representation the Board decided to transfer them to the slaughter houses, but here they have proved an equal failure. The class of men which have been employed have in nearly every instance proved to be unreliable and untrustworthy, and this state of things, I am afraid, will continue until it is decided to replace them by Europeans.

19. Market Scavengers.--In this branch of the department no changes of importance have occurred. 20. During the autumn months most of the members of my staff (myself included) were absent from duty upon short periods of sick leave which was no doubt due in a great measure to the nature of the duties required to be performed.

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 i? 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.

604

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JULY, 1894.

　Under section 13, sub-section 7, of the Ordinance No. 24 of 1887-The Public Health Ordinance-the Sani - tary Board has power to make and when made to alter, amend or revoke Bye-laws with regard to the following

matter:

"The closing of premises unfit for human habitation and the prohibition of their use as such." The Permanent Committee of the Board which has recently been appointed has within the last month closed nearly 400 houses on the ground that they are unfit for human habitation.

　I should be glad if you will report to me why the Board has never, before the existing crisis came upon the Colony, exercised the powers which it clearly possesses and has for several years possessed in the matter to which I have referred.

Please lay this minute before the Board and have it printed in their "proceedings."

　　　　It was agreed that His Excellency's minute be circulated to Members in order that they might have an opportunity of expressing their opinions on it.

The Plague.-The following questions, of which notice had been given, were addressed by Dr. HARTIGAN to the President:-

I. Have any special or other instructions been issued to the Inspectors of Nuisances since the commencement of the present epidemic calling their attention to section 37 of the Public Health Act, and desiring them to see that its provisions are carried out?

II. Have they during the above-mentioned period reported any cases of overcrowding under section 15 of the

Standing Orders" issued for their guidance?

III. (a) Has any defect in the drainage or sewerage of houses Nos. 38 to 64, Queen's Road Central, or in the

houses in Stanley Street in rear of same, where cases of Plague have occurred, been reported?

(b) Is there any serious defect in the drainage or sewerage of these premises?

IV. Is there any difference in the incidence of the present epidemic upon districts supplied by the Tytam ar ..

Pokfoolum reservoirs, that is to say, have districts supplied by the one suffered more than those supplied by the other, or have all been indifferently affected independently of the water-supply, both as regards its source and the quantity delivered?

The President replied.

　　　　The following questions, of which notice had been given, were addressed by Dr. HARTIGAN to the Chairman of the--- Permanent Committee:

I. (a) How many Medical Officers are engaged on work in connection with the Plague under section 38 of the

Public Health Act? (Bye-law 4).

(b) What are the special duties assigned to each, and the dates of their entrance upon such duties ?

II. What steps, if any, are being taken to keep under observation the occupants of houses, which have not been

closed and in which cases of Plague have occurred?

III. What steps, if any, have been taken to prevent the removal of sick persons from one house to another, or their

departure from the Colony without notifying their illness?

IV. What steps are being taken to disinfect houses in which cases of Plague have occurred, but which are not closed how many such houses have been disinfected, what chemicals have been used, and, roughly, what quantity per house, and under whose supervision has such disinfection been carried out?

The Chairman of the Permanent Committee and the Captain Superintendent of Police replied.

The Plague.-A letter from Dr. CANTLIE, addressed to the Secretary, was laid on the table.

It was agreed that the letter be circulated to Members.

Mortality Returns.-The returns for the weeks ended the 23rd and 30th June, 1894,-which had been circulated to Members, and a minute on the circulating cover read-were laid on the table.

Dr. HARTIGAN drew attention to the number of deaths in Hawan and Taipingshan.

A discussion ensued.

It was agreed that the matter be allowed to stand over.

　　　　Drain opening near Kowloon Point.-A letter from the Honourable Colonial Secretary concerning an offen. sive smell said to emanate from a drain opening upon the foreshore near Kowloon Point-which had been circulated to Members, and the minutes on the circulating cover read-was laid on the table.

　　　　The Marking of Cattle.-A letter from the Honourable Colonial Secretary accepting the Board's suggested amendment to a Draft Bill entitled An Ordinance to prohibit the fraudulent affixing of certain marks to animals-which had been circulated to Members-was laid on the table.

　　　　Offensive Smells.-A letter from Mr. KENNEDY containing complaints concerning offensive smells in the neigh- bourhood of his Stables at Causeway Bay-which had been circulated to Members, and the minutes on the circulating cover read-was laid on the table.

A discussion ensued.

The matter was referred to the Acting Superintendent for a report.

Small-pox.-A notification of a case of small-pox-which had been circulated to Members-was laid on the table. Question.-Mr. LEIGH gave notice that at the next meeting of the Board he would ask the President-

What steps, if any, are being taken to prevent the Praya Reclamation Works in front of the block from Ice House Street to Pottinger Street blocking the outlet to all the drains in a similar manner as was done in front of Bonham Strand West?

Adjournment.-The Board then adjourned till Thursday, the 19th day of July, 1894.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JULY, 1894.

607

　　　"If the person claimed should be under examination, or is undergoing sentence under a convic- tion, for any other crime within the territories of the two High Contracting Parties respectively, his extradition shall be deferred until after he has been discharged, whether by acquittal or on expiration of his sentence, or otherwise.

"ARTICLE V.

　　　"The extradition shall not take place if, subsequently to the commission of the crime, or the institution of the penal prosecution, or the conviction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applied to.

"ARTICLE VI.

"A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character, or if he prove that the requisition for his surrender has in fact been made with a view to try or punish him for an offence of a political character.

"ARTICLE VII.

　　　"A person surrendered can in no case be kept in prison, or be brought to trial in the State to which the surrender has been made, for any other crime or on account of any other matters than those for which the extradition, shall have taken place, until he has been restored or had an opportunity of returning to the State by which he has been surrendered.

"This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition.

"ARTICLE VIII.

　　　"The requisition for extradition shall be made through the Diplomatic Agents of the High Contracting Parties respectively.

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

had been committed there.

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

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

"ARTICLE IX.

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

"ARTICLE X.

　　　"If the fugitive has been arrested in the British dominions, he shall forthwith be brought before a competent Magistrate, who is to examine him and to conduct the preliminary investigation of the case, just as if the apprehension had taken place for a crime committed in the British dominions.

　　　　In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the British dominions shall admit as valid evidence the sworn depositions or the affirmations of witnesses taken in Roumania, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, and certificates of, or judicial documents stating the fact of, a conviction, provided the same are authenticated as follows:-

　　　"1. A warrant must purport to be signed by a Judge, Magistrate, or Judicial Officer of Police of Roumania.

"2. Depositions or affirmations, or the copies thereof, must purport to be certified under the hand of a Judge, Magistrate, or Judicial Officer of Police of Roumania, to be the original depositions or affirmations, or to be the true copies thereof, as the case may require.

　　　"3. A certificate of or judicial document stating the fact of a conviction must purport to be certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or Judicial Officer of Police of Roumania.

　　　"4. In every case such warrant, deposition, affirmation, copy, certificate, or judicial document must be authenticated either by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the official seal of the Minister of Justice, or of Foreign Affairs of Roumania; but any other mode of authentication for the time being permitted by the law in that part of the British dominions where the examination is taken, may be substituted for the foregoing.

"ARTICLE XI.

　　　"On the part of the Roumanian Government, the extradition shall take place as follows in Roumania:

"The Minister, or other Diplomatic Agent of Her Britannic Majesty in Roumania, shall send to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in support of each demand for extradition, an authentic and duly

608

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JULY, 1894.

legalized copy either of a certificate of condemnation, or of a warrant of arrest against an incriminated or accused person, showing clearly the nature of the crime or offence on account of which proceedings are being taken against the fugitive. The judicial document so produced shall be accompanied by a description and other particulars serving to establish the identity of the person whose extradition is claimed.

"In case the documents produced by the British Government to establish the identity, and the particulars gathered by the Roumanian police authorities for the same purpose, should be deemed to be insufficient, notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the Minister or other Diplomatic Agent of Her Britannic Majesty in Roumania, and the individual whose extradition is desired, if he has been arrested, shall remain in detention until the British Government has produced new elements of proof to establish his identity, or to clear up any other difficulties arising in the examination.

"ARTICLE XII.

"The extradition shall not take place unless the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the said State, or to prove that the prisoner is the identical person convicted by the Courts of the State which makes the requisition, and that the crime of which he has been convicted is one in respect of which extradition could, at the time of such conviction, have been granted by the State applied to. In Her Britannic Majesty's dominions the fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered until the expiration of fifteen days from the date of his being committed to prison to await his surrender.

"ARTICLE XIII.

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

"ARTICLE XIV.

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

Tribunal proper

"ARTICLE XV.

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

"ARTICLE XVI.

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

"ARTICLE XVII.

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

"The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions may be made to the Governor or chief authority of such Colony or possession by any person authorized to act in such Colony or possession as a Consular officer of Roumania.

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

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

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

66 'ARTICLE XVIII.

　　"The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication, in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting parties at any time on giving to the other six months' notice of its intention to do so.

SANITARY BOARD ROOM,

HONGKONG, 19th March, 1894.

　　　GENTLEMEN,- I have the honour to submit for your information this the Fifth Annual Report concerning work done by the Sanitary Board during the year 1893.

DRAINAGE WORKS.

　　　2. In addition to the work carried out by property owners of their own initiative a considerable number of houses, which were found on inspection to be in an insanitary condition, have been redrained on the requisition 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 in each such locality.

(d) The houses so found at which the work of redrainage has been completed.

It is a matter for congratulation that this work, which is in many cases repugnant to the inclina-

tion of property owners, has been carried out without any serious friction.

　　　It will be noticed that a very large proportion of the houses found in an insanitary condition are in the Chinese quarters of the City of Victoria, and that the total number redrained during the year is 264. The number of houses treated under these conditions since the passing of the Public Health Ordinance of which there is a record is approximately as follows:-

1890, 1891,

1892, 1893,

....141

.210

264

It may be deemed a source of satisfaction that the number of houses put into a sanitary condition has increased so steadily from year to year, but this satisfaction is moderated by the reflection that the total number of houses in the City of Victoria is about 7,900, and that the proportion of buildings so treated to those that remain unaffected is consequently still small. Of course a considerable_number of properties have been rebuilt since the passing of the Public Health Ordinance, and the drains of these are presumably in accordance with the requirements of that statute; but there can be little doubt that a large proportion of the Chinese houses in the City of Victoria are still in a condition which, from a sanitary point of view, calls for reform. I think that (the public sewers being now completed over a large part of the City) the time has come when owners of property might reasonably be called upon to reform their drainage arrangements upon a somewhat more systematic plan than has been in vogue hitherto. At present, the complaint of a neighbour, or of a tenant, or perhaps the observation of one of the Board's Inspectors, leads to an examination of one or two, or possibly half a dozen houses out of a large block. The Sanitary Surveyor inspects them and if he finds that they are in an insanitary condition he reports accordingly, and the owners are called upon by the Board to redrain ; but the other houses in the block, which are probably in the same condition, or in a state only a trifle less objectionable, are unaffected by this order, and may continue in their unsatisfactory state for years, or until some further complaint is made. I venture to suggest that the mere fact that one or two out of a block of houses are found in an insanitary condition should be held prima facie evidence that the whole block is in a similar state (always providing that the houses are of the same type, and have the appearance of being of the same age, and of being used for the same purposes, and by the same class of tenants); and that an inspection should be made accordingly, so that if the suspicion is verified the whole block may be redrained in combination, generally a more advantageous method, as well from a sanitary as from a pecuniary point of view, than that of draining each house separately. If this course is pursued in the future a considerable step will have been taken towards improving the sanitation of the City; the sewers will profit by having the flow of sewage brought up to something like the quantity for which their sizes were calculated, and the storm water drains will profit by being relieved of the constant trickle of sewage which renders them so offensive during the dry season.

;

A certain number of complaints continue to be made concerning the liability of the new pipe drains to get out of repair by obstruction. Examination shows however that in nearly every case choking is due to gross misuse of the drains by the tenants or their servants. It seems difficult to impress upon the Chinese mind the fact that drains are constructed for the carrying off of liquids, and not of solids. I think it is a question whether the Board might not wisely amplify their Bye-laws by inserting a clause rendering tenants liable in a penalty for making an improper use of a drain which is likely to lead to a nuisance.

MARKETS AND SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

The new Slaughter House at Kennedy Town will be ready for occupation shortly.

　　　The new Central Market will also be completed during the current year, and will form a much needed addition to the means of regulating the supply, and controlling the sale of food to the English and Chinese population.

　　　There has been no outbreak of disease, contagious or otherwise, amongst cattle during the past year which calls for comment.

　　　46 sheds capable of housing 1,046 head of cattle; 4 sheds capable of housing 142 head of goats; and 333 pens capable of housing 2,099 head of swine, were licensed during the year. So far as it is known all the cows and goats in the Colony are now kept in licensed premises, with the exception of a few head of cattle in outlying districts kept for agricultural purposes, and for which no provision for housing is made. A certain number of swine pens are still unlicensed in the villages but the law is being steadily enforced in respect of the construction of pens, and it is hoped that in the near future they will all be of a standard to entitle them to a license.

　　　A considerable number of sheep and swine, imported for slaughter, are still kept in unlicensed premises in the Sai-ying-pun district, pending the construction of the public depots at Kennedy Town, which will be ready for occupation in about six months' time.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

The attached tabular statements (B) show:-

(a) The death rate in 1893 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.

These

month of each year, 1889 to 1893, both inclusive, under six disease groups. 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.

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.

(d) The number of deaths registered during each month of the years 1889 to 1893, as also

the mean temperature and rainfall.

　　　It will be noticed that the death-rate has gone up from 20.7 in 1892 to 22.7 in 1893, and that the number of deaths registered is considerably in excess of those registered in 1892.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The principal increase appears under the heads Infantile Convulsive Diseases (270), Bowel Complaints (124), and Other Causes (169).

　　　The decrease in the number of deaths recorded as occurring from fevers, which was referred to in the Superintendent's report of last year, has been equally noticeable in 1893. As the figures and conditions are very similar it may be of interest to repeat here what was stated by the Sanitary Superintendent upon the subject a year ago:-

　　　"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 onc 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 (and 1893) 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.'

　　　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. In considering the death-rate the nature of the population should be remembered─i.e. it is not a normal population, but a population in which the male sex in the prime of life largely predominates.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JULY, 1894.

619

In considering the details of the mortality statistics it should be borne in mind that the registration of the actual causes of death is in the great majority of cases very unreliable, so far as the Chinese community is concerned.

HEALTH DISTRICTS.

Cemeteries.-The bye-laws which came into force on 1st January, 1892, have been carried out without any

hitch of importance, but some inconvenience has been experienced from the fact that the different sections, for which a scale of fees has been constructed, have never been properly laid out. If this work could be done by the Public Works Department in the near future it would greatly simplify the work of the Board's officers and would probably lead to an increase of revenue from burial fees. The following are the number of burials which have taken place during the in each of the public cemeteries for Chinese :-

Aberdeen,

1,753

year 1893

Stanley, Shek-o,

Total.......

During the past year the fees collected amounted to $1,473 and the total expenditure in connection with Cemeteries amounted to $2,271.70.

An improved approach to the Mount Caroline cemetery from the Wong-nei-chong Valley has been constructed, which it is hoped will be a convenience to the Chinese community.

In December a burying ground at Caroline Hill was marked out for burying the carcases of animals; the space at the disposal of the public for this purpose being previously very inadequate.

Laundries.-Only two out of the ten public laundries at Wanchai are occupied, at a rent of $10 per month each. So long as the washing of clothes in public streams is permitted it is improbable that these laundries will be more generally patronised.

The laundrymen maintain that the buildings are unsuitable for their purpose, but this is probably with a view to avoiding the use of them, and whilst they can wash in the streains rent free it is not very surprising that they should be anxious to evade the necessity of paying $10 per month for these premises, where they would also be much more subject to control.

　　　　Bakeries.-The bye-laws for regulating bake-houses which came into force on 1st January, 1893, have been enforced with excellent result. Previous to this there was some outcry concerning the insanitary state of these premises, and enquiry by the Board into their condition disclosed the fact that their drainage arrangements and general surroundings were not such as should be required in places where a staple article of food is prepared. Something still remains to be done, especially in the direction of improved drainage, but speaking broadly these premises may be said to be now in a wholesome and sanitary condition.

Common Lodging Houses.-The bye-laws for licensing and regulating these are still in abeyance pending the fixing of a day by the Board on which they shall come into force.

Infectious Diseases.-There were 123 cases of small-pox reported, of which 51 ended fatally. Of these a very large proportion occurred during the first six months of the year, viz:-112 cases and 49 deaths. It is probable that all cases of small-pox are not reported, and that deaths which result from this disease are not unfrequently registered as resulting from other causes.

A case of hydrophobia occurred in January. The case was treated in the Government Civil Hospital and ended fatally.

Contracts.-The Conservancy and Scavenging contracts entered into in 1892 have been carried out during the past year in a satisfactory manner. Complaints are occasionally made as to the details of the Bucket System, but speaking generally the work has been well done. It might be a subject for the consideration of the Board, in entering into a fresh contract, whether the Conservancy Contractor should not be responsible for the collection and removal of all excretal matter from the City of Victoria, in which case it would be possible to insist upon the exclusive use of a bucket of superior type. It is estimated that there are 550 night-men who collect the night soil from private houses. They are responsible to no one, and as a consequence it is a matter of difficulty to keep them under complete control.

　　　　The estimated quantity of night soil removed by the Conservancy Contractor from Victoria, Hill, and Kaulung districts during 1893 amounted to 14,000 tons.

　　　　The estimated quantity of house and trade refuse, street sweepings, &c., removed by the Scavenging Contractor from Victoria and Kaulung districts during 1893 was 25,000 tons.

The annexed table C. gives the names of the various contractors employed by the Board with the number of men in their employ.

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 to 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.

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- fiued 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 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.

LORD PRESIDENT

EARL OF CHESTERFIELD

HEREAS a Convention has been concluded on the 24th day of April, 1893, between Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, and His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, and Apostolic King of Hungary, with respect to the protection to be given by way of copyright to the authors of literary and artistic works:

And whereas the ratifications of the said Convention were exchanged on the 14th day of April, 1894, between Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the Emperor :

And whereas Her Majesty in Council is satisfied that the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy have made such provisions as it appears to Her Majesty expedient to require for the protection of authors of works first produced in Her Majesty's dominions:

　　　NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and by virtue of the Authority committed to Her by the International Copyright Acts, 1844 to 1886, doth order and it is hereby ordered as follows:---

The author of a literary or artistic work which on or after the commencement of this Order is first produced in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy shall, subject as in this Order and in the International Copyright Acts, 1844 to 1886, mentioned, have as respects that work throughout Her Majesty's dominions, but subject to the exceptions specified in clause 5 of this Order, the same right of copyright, including any right capable of being conferred by an Order in Council under section two or section five of the International Copyright Act, 1844, or under any other enactment, as if the work had been first produced in the United Kingdom, and shall have such right during the same period.

　　3. Section six of the International Copyright Act, 1852, shall not apply to any dramatic piece to which protection is extended by virtue of this Order.

CONVENTION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND AUSTRIA-HUNGARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

Signed at Vienna, April 24, 1893.

[Ratifications exchanged at Vienna, April 14, 1894.]

[A Hungarian version was also attached to the Convention as signed.]

　　Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, &c., and His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, &c., and Apostolic King of Hungary, animated with the desire to secure in the most complete manner, within their respective dominions, the rights of authors, or their legal representatives, over their literary or artistic works, have resolved to conclude a Convention to that effect, and have named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:

　　Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, &c., the Right Honourable Sir Augustus Berkeley Paget, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, a Member of Her Britannic Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Her Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, &c.,

&c., &c.;

　　His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, &c., and Apostolic King of Hungary, the Count Gustave Kalnoky de Korospatak, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Stephen, Knight of the Order of Leopold, His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty's Privy Councillor and Chamberlain, Minister of the Imperial House and of Foreign Affairs, General of Cavalry, &c., &c., &c.;

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

ARTICLE I.

be,

　　Authors of literary or artistic works and their legal representatives, including publishers, shall enjoy reciprocally, in the dominions of the High Contracting Parties, the advantages which are, or may granted by law there for the protection of works of literature or art.

Consequently, authors of literary or artistic works which have been first published in the dominions of one of the High Contracting Parties, as well as their legal representatives, shall have in the dominions of the other High Contracting Party the same protection and the same legal remedy against all infringement of their rights as if the work had been first published in the country where the infringement may have taken place.

666

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4?? AUGUST, 1894.

　　　In the same manner, the authors of literary or artistic works, and their legal representatives, who are subjects of one of the High Contracting Parties, or who reside within its dominions, shall in the dominions of the other Contracting Party enjoy the same protection and the same legal remedies against all infringements of their rights as though they were subjects of or residents in the State in which the infringement may have taken place.

　　　These advantages shall only be reciprocally guaranteed to authors and their legal representatives when the work in question is also protected by the laws of the State where the work was first published, and the duration of protection in the other country shall not exceed that which is granted to authors and their legal representatives in the country where the work was first published.

ARTICLE II.

　　　The right of translation forming part of the copyright, the protection of the right of translation is assured under the conditions laid down by this Convention. If ten years after the expiry of the

year which a work to be protected in Her Majesty's dominions on the basis of this Convention has appeared, no translation in English has been published the right of translating the work into English shall no longer within those dominions exclusively belong to the author.

　　　In the case of a book published in numbers, the aforesaid period of ten years shall commence at the end of the year in which each number is published.

ARTICLE III.

　　　Authorized translations are protected as original works. They consequently enjoy the full protection granted by this Convention against the unauthorized reproduction of original works.

　　　It is understood that in the case of a work for which the translating right has fallen into the public domain, the translator cannot oppose the translation of the same work by other writers.

ARTICLE IV.

　　　The expression "literary or artistic works" comprehends books, pamphlets, and all other writings; dramatic or dramatico-musical works, musical compositions, with or without words; works of design, painting, sculpture, and engraving, lithographs, illustrations, geographical charts, plans, sketches, and plastic works relating to geography, topography, architecture, or science, in general; in fact, every production whatsoever in the literary, scientific, or artistic domain which can be published by any mode of impression or reproduction.

ARTICLE V.

　　　In the British Empire, and in the Kingdoms and States represented in the Austrian Reichsrath, the enjoyment of the rights secured by the present Convention is subject only to the accomplishment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by the law of that State in which the work is first published; and no further formalities or conditions shall be required in the other country.

　　　Consequently, it shall not be necessary that a work which has obtained legal protection in one country should be registered, or copies thereof deposited in the other country, in order that the remedies against infringement may be obtained which are granted in the other country to works first published there.

In the dominions of the Hungarian Crown the enjoyment of these rights is subject, however, to the accomplishment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by the Laws and Regulations both of Great Britain and of Hungary.

ARTICLE VI.

　　　In order that the authors of works protected by the present Convention shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be considered as such, and be, consequently, admitted to institute proceedings in respect of the infringement of copyright before the Courts of the other State, it will suffice that their name be indicated on the work in the accustomed manner.

　　　The Tribunals may, however, in cases of doubt, require the production of such further evidence as may be required by the Laws of the respective countries.

For anonymous or pseudonymous works, the publisher whose name is indicated on the work is entitled to protect the rights belonging to the author. He is, without other proof, reputed the legal representative of the anonymous or pseudonymous author, until the latter or his legal representative has declared and proved his rights.

ARTICLE VII.

　　　The provisions of the present Convention cannot in any way derogate from the right of each of the High Contracting Parties to control, or to prohibit by measures of domestic legislation or police, the circulation, representation, exhibition, or sale of any work or production.

　　　Each of the High Contracting Parties reserves also its right to prohibit the importation into its own territory of works which, according to its internal Laws, or to the stipulations of Treaties with other States, are or may be declared to be illicit reproductions.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH AUGUST, 1894.

ARTICLE VIII.

667

The provisions of the present Convention shall be applied to literature or artistic works produced prior to the date of its coming into effect, subject, however, to the limitations prescribed by the following Regulations

(a.) In the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy---

Copies completed before the coming into force of the present Convention, the production of which has been hitherto allowed, can also be circulated in future.

In the same manner, appliances for the reproduction of works, such as stereotypes, woodblocks, and engraved plates of every description, such as lithographers' stones, if their production has not hitherto been prohibited may continue to be used during a period of four years from the coming into force of the present Convention.

The distribution of such copies, and the use of the said appliances, is, however, only permitted if an inventory of the said copies and appliances is taken by the Government in question, in consequence of an application of the interested party, within three months from the coming into force of the present Convention, and if these copies and appliances are marked with a special stamp.

Dramatic and dramatico-musical works, or musical compositions legally performed before the coming into force of the present Convention, can also be performed in the future.

(b.) In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland-

The author and publisher of any literary or artistic work first produced before the date at which this Convention comes into effect shall be entitled to all legal remedies against infringement; provided that where any person has, before the date of the publication of the Order in Council putting this Convention into effect, lawfully produced any work in the United Kingdom, any rights or interests arising from or in connection with such production, which are subsisting and valuable at the said date, shall not be diminished or prejudiced.

ARTICLE IX.

　　The provisions of the present Convention shall apply to all the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, excepting to those hereinafter named, that is to say, except to-

India.

The Dominion of Canada. Newfoundland.

The Cape.

Natal.

New South Wales.

Victoria.

Queensland.

Tasmania.

South Australia.

Western Australia. New Zealand.

Provided always that the provisions of the present Conventions shall apply to any of the above- named Colonies or foreign possessions on whose behalf notice to that effect shall have been given by Her Britannic Majesty's Representative at the Court of His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty within two years from the date of the exchange of ratifications of the present Convention.

ARTICLE X.

　　The present Convention shall remain in force for ten years from the day on which the ratifications are exchanged; and in case neither of the two High Contracting Parties shall have given notice twelve months before the expiration of the said period of ten years of their intention of terminating the present Convention, it shall remain in force until the expiration of one year from the day on which either of the High Contracting Parties shall have given such notice.

　　Her Britannic Majesty's Government shall also have the right to denounce the Convention in the same manner, on behalf of any of the Colonies or foreign possessions mentioned in Article IX, separately.

ARTICLE XI.

　　The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Vienna as soon as possible. It shall come into effect ten days after its publication in conformity with the forms prescribed by the Laws of the High Contracting Parties respectively.

　　In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed this Convention, and have hereunto affixed their seals.

　　Done at Vienna, the 24th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three.

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING

CORPORATION.

FIFTY-EIGHTH

REPORT OF THE COURT OF DIRECTORS

TO THE

ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING

OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD

AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG, On Saturday, the 18th August, 1894, AT NOON.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

　　　The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June, 1894. Dvaroga. ￥2700 overse

overom

The net profits for that period, including $115,290.83, balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful accounts, amount to $1,256,856.08.

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 $4,500,000.

In connection with the Praya Reclamation Scheme, the portion in front of the Bank's premises here is now complete. The cost $60,000 has been debited to Profit and Loss Account. This land, now standing in our books clear, will no doubt ultimately prove a valuable asset, in the meantime it is not the Bank's intention to either sell, or build upon the site.

After making these transfers and deducting Remuneration to Directors there remains for appropriation $886,856.08 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 2/14, the rate of the day, amounts to $404,840.49.

The Balance $126,460.04 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.

AUDITORS.

The accounts have been audited by Mr. F. HENDERSON, Mr. A. G. WOOD and Mr. S. G. BIRD.

Now, therefore, in obedience to such Instructions as aforesaid, the said Letter of the Right Honourable The EARL OF KIMBERLEY is hereby published for general information; and it is hereby declared, that the Rules therein contained are to be obeyed by all Persons within this Colony, and that Obedience thereto will be strictly enforced.

By His Excellency's Command,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

Given at Government House, Hongkong, this 9th day of August, 1894.

MY LORDS,

(The Earl of Kimberley to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.)

FOREIGN OFFICE, 7th August, 1894.

Her Majesty being fully determined to observe the duties of neutrality during the existing state of war between the Emperor of China and the Emperor of Japan, and being moreover resolved to prevent, as far as possible, the use of Her Majesty's harbours, ports, and coasts, and the waters within Her Majesty's territorial jurisdiction, in aid of the warlike purposes of either belligerent, has com- manded me to communicate to your Lordships, for your guidance, the following rules, which are to be treated and enforced as Her Majesty's orders and directions:-

Her Majesty is pleased further to command that these rules shall be put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, on and after the 12th of August instant, and in Her Majesty's territories and possessions beyond the seas, six days after the day when the Governor,

674

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 9TH AUG., 1894.

or other chief authority of each of such territories or possessions respectively, shall have notified and published the same; stating in such Notification that the said rules are to be obeyed by all persons within the same territories and possessions.

1. During the continuance of the present state of war, all ships of war of either belligerent are prohibited from making use of any port or roadstead in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, or of any waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown, as a station, or place of resort, for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining any facilities of warlike equipment; and no ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or waters subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war or a merchant ship) shall have previously departed, until after the expiration of, at least, twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty.

2. If any ship of war of either belligerent shall, after the time when this Order shall be first notified and put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, and in the several Colonies and foreign possessions and dependencies of Her Majesty respectively, enter any port, roadstead, or waters belonging to Her Majesty, either in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, such vessel shall be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-four hours after her entrance into such port, roadstead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of which cases the authorities of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting her to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary for her immediate use; and no such vessel which may have been allowed to remain within British waters for the purpose of repair shall continue in any such port, roadstead, or waters, for a longer period than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs shall have been completed. Provided, nevertheless, that in all cases in which there shall be any vessel (whether ships of war or merchant ships) of the said belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom of any such vessel (whether a ship of war or merchant ship) of the one belligerent, and the subsequent departure therefrom of any ship of war of the other belligerent; and the time hereby limited for the departure of such ships of war respectively shall always, in case of necessity, be extended so far as may be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but no further or

otherwise.

3. No ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted, while in any port, roadstead or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, to take in any supplies, except provisions and such other things as may be requisite for the subsistence of her crew, and except so much coal only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the nearest port of her own country, or to some nearer. destination, and no coal shall again be supplied to any such ship of war in the same or any other port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, without special permission, until after the expiration of three months from the time when such coal may have been last supplied to her within British waters as aforesaid.

4. Armed ships of either party are interdicted from carrying prizes made by them into the ports, harbours, roadsteads, or waters of the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, or any of Her Majesty's Colonies or possessions abroad.

I have, &c.,

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

Since it appears that Hongkong itself is almost if not quite free from plague, if we except cases brought over from British Kowloon, is it not therefore in the opinion of this Board inadvisable to introduce plague patients from these districts into Hongkong, or to remove plague corpses thence for burial on this Island, in order that the City of Victoria may be declared free from infectious diseases at as early a date as possible?

The President replied.

Praya Reclamation.-The following motion, of which notice had been given, was introduced by Mr. LEIGH,-

That, in the opinion of this Board, it is highly expedient that steps should at once be taken to carry to a point or points beyond the line of the new Praya Wall, the sewage from the Pedder's Street, D'Aguilar Street, Pottinger Street, and any other sewers discharging into the basin formed by this section of the Praya Recla- mation Works.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance for the Summary Resumption of certain Crown Lands situate in the Taipingshan District of the City of Victoria and for other

WHEREAS

purposes.

in Council decides that the resumption of any land is expe- dient in the interest of the public, it shall be lawful for the Governor to enter into private negotiations with the owner of such land for the purchase thereof, and upon failure of such negotiations to give written notice that such lands will be resumed upon the expiration of four months from publication of such notice. And whereas the Colony and especially the Taipingshan District of the City of Victoria has recently been visited by a formidable epidemic disease known as the Bubonic Plague.

And whereas certain portions of the said district have been found to be in a highly insanitary condition and the inhabitants thereof have, by the orders of the Sanitary Board, been removed therefrom, the houses closed and the streets and approaches thereto blocked up. And whereas it is expedient for the prevention of such visitation in the future and for the improvement of the Colony that the houses in such portions of the said Taipingshan District or some of them should be pulled down and destroyed and that the area or a portion thereof should be laid out afresh and redrained. And whereas the procedure under the terms of the Crown Leases is unsatisfactory and one-sided and may lead to protracted law suits, and the procedure under The Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889, involves protracted negotiations and long delays and both procedures are unsuitable to the urgency of the case.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Taipingshan Resumption Ordinance, 1894.

2. In this Ordinance, unless the context otherwise re- quires,-

Successors.

(3) House includes any building of any kind what- soever, rows, blocks or groups of houses together with any yard, out-houses and appurtenances belonging thereto or usually enjoyed therewith. (4) Street includes any road, court, alley, pathway,

(5) Owner includes all Crown lessees, assignees of the whole or any portion, section, or sub-section of any lot, mortgagees in possession and trustees in whose names any land resumed under this Or- dinance stands registered in the Land Office of this Colony.

3. (1) The lots of land in the first schedule hereto au- nexed more fully set forth and described now held under lease from the Crown are hereby resumed to and revested in the Crown as from the 1st day of June, 1894, and the rights of the Crown Lessees thereof, their executors, admi- nistrators or assigns, and of all other persons claiming any right or interest in, to, or over the said lots of land or any of them or any portion thereof are hereby declared to have absolutely ceased and determined as from the said 1st day of June, 1894.

(2) The public roads and streets in the second schedule hereunto mentioned and described are hereby declared to have been closed from the said 1st day of June to public traffic to the extent in the said second schedule set forth, and all rights of way and other easements, if any, therein or thereover are hereby declared to have absolutely ceased and determined as from such date.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894.

(2) No suit or action shall be brought or maintained against the Crown or against any person for compensation or for any loss or damage resulting to any person from the re- sumption of the said lots of land or any of them, or from the closing of such roads and streets under this Ordinance, but all claims for such compensation or for any such loss or damage shall be brought before and shall be determined by a Board of Arbitration which shall consist of three persons and which shall be constituted immediately after the coming into operation of this Ordinance in manner following, that is to say :-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894.

3. Your Lordship will have received my Despatches Nos. 115, 116, 121, 122, 123, 127, 128, 129 and 132, and my telegrams of the 18th May, 2nd, 4th, and 16th June, in reference to the epidemic which has been in existence in this Colony since the beginning of last May.

4. At the risk of repeating some of the statements I have made in those com- munications it may be convenient to your Lordship that I should forward to you a narrative, disjointed though it may be, of the principal incidents that have occurred in connection with the plague during the last month.

　　　5. On my return to the Colony from Japan on the 15th May, after 8 weeks' leave of absence, I found that Major-General BARKER, who had been administering the Government since the 30th April, owing to the sudden departure on account of illness of Mr. OBRIEN, the Colonial Secretary, had issued a proclamation on the 10th May declaring Hongkong to be an infected Port in accordance with the prov- isions of The Public Health Ordinance, No. 24 of 1887.

　　　6. A Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board, consisting of three mem- bers, had thereupon been appointed, and these gentlemen who, in conjunction with Dr. Lowson, Dr. PENNY, R.N., and Surgeon-Major JAMES, have since acted with extraordinary energy and efficiency, at once passed Bye-laws, and Regulations which I have already forwarded to you and which were without delay passed and confirmed by the Executive Council and ultimately legalized by the Legislative

Council.

7. Hospitals were at once established (1) on board the Hygeia, (2) at Kennedy Town Police Station, (3) and, on the 20th May, at the Glass Works at Kennedy Town. The first two were managed by the Government doctors and the lady nurses from the Government Hospital, the latter was handed over to the Tung Wah Hospital Committee and worked by Chinese doctors under the super- vision of the Colonial Medical Staff and a Naval Doctor (Dr. PENNY). It was deemed advisable to give the Chinese doctors a free hand at first. In any case it is difficult to persuade the Chinese to report cases of sickness, and their foolish and violent prejudices against Western medical men are quite sufficient to induce them, as they certainly did for the first fortnight or three weeks of the existence of the plague, not only to secrete their sick but often to desert their plague-stricken friends and relations after death.

8. Under these circumstances the necessity for a vigorous house to house visita- tion became most apparent and the Military and Naval authorities, Major-General BARKER and Commodore BOYES, at the suggestion of the Government rendered every possible assistance in this direction. Naval and Military doctors were fur- nished and at least 300 men from the Shropshire Regiment, and officers and men from the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery detachments were amongst others detailed for the duty of house to house visitation and for cleaning and disinfecting the houses in which cases of the plague had occurred.

　　9. At this time, about the 21st May, the greatest dissatisfaction was shewn by the Chinese community in regard to the methods of sanitation we were employing. Complaints were made that the privacy of women's apartments was being invaded, that women and children were being "frightened out of their wits" by the daily visits of the Military and Police, and then it began to be rumoured that the "Foreigners" had sinister and unspeakable designs on the women and children.

10. On enquiry I found that these complaints were much exaggerated and that the majority of the Chinese, after being made to understand what the object was which the Government had in view, did not object to the visitation but even assisted those deputed to search their houses and to disinfect and cleanse them when necessary. A large deputation of Chinese waited upon me nevertheless, requesting that the house to house visitation should cease and that they might take their sick away from the Hygeia and the Kennedy Town hospital altogether. As already reported in my Despatch of the 23rd May, No. 121, I had to inform these gentlemen in pretty strong terms that Hongkong was a British Colony and, as they had chosen to reside in it, they must submit to British laws and methods of sanitation, and further that, as I was responsible for the safety of the community, I must positively decline to listen to their requests. I further pointed out to them that as residents of Hongkong it was their bounden duty to aid the Government in the terrible crisis in which it was placed and not to obstruct it, or to allow their people to obstruct it, in any way whatever. Though the deputation, composed of wealthy and so called educated Chinamen, left Government House apparently satisfied, in a few days'

Enclosure 1.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894. 727

time defamatory and libellous placards were posted up in Hongkong and later on in larger numbers in Canton attributing the most ghastly cruelties to the Eng- lish doctors, charging them in fact with cutting open pregnant women and with scooping out the eyes of children in order to make medicines for the treat- ment of plague-stricken patients.

11. Your Lordship will find it difficult to believe that after upwards of 50 years' occupation of Hongkong, and after more than 50 years of benign, not to say paternal, Government, Chinamen residents in this British Dependency could be found who were ignorant enough to believe such statements, and treacherous enough to give them currency. Such, however, is unfortunately the case.

12. As there had been some opposition to the Police in the Chinese quarter the day previously, and these statements were likely to inflame the passions of the mob, I immediately requested the Commodore to anchor a gunboat opposite to the Tung Wah Hospital and Taipingshan, and Commodore BOYES at once moved the Tweed into the position I indicated. I also offered a handsome reward for any informa- tion which would lead to the arrest and conviction of the author of those disgraceful placards. There can be no doubt that these steps had a very salutary effect as no more placards have been issued here.

13. The epidemic a little later than the date of the above mentioned occurrence notwithstanding the heavy rains amounting altogether to some 23 inches was evidently on the increase. The exodus of panic-stricken Chinese was also on the increase, hongs were being emptied of their clerks, chair coolies by hundreds deserted their employers without warning, and many domestic servants applied for the amount of their wages then due to enable them to go to Canton or to join their families on the mainland. No less than 300 men left the China Sugar Factory one morn- ing and crossing over to Kowloon started to walk to Swatow, a distance of 180 miles. At this time the admissions to the hospitals were 67, 70, and sometimes 80 a day, and the deaths in hospital and the dead bodies collected outside were on one occasion 109 in 24 hours.

14. When matters were at their worst I received information that the "literati," who were doubtless in a measure responsible for the dissemination of the disgusting statements respecting the medical men in this Colony, had recommenced operations in Canton. It was currently stated that if any portion of Taipingshan was burnt down as has been suggested an attack would be made upon the Consulate at Canton, and numerous defamatory placards involving not only the medical profes- sion but the "Red-haired Barbarian" generally were being posted broad cast over that City.

15. With a view of stopping the anti-foreign feeling which was thus assuming serious proportions in Canton at the instigation probably of persons here I requested the Consul, Mr. B. BRENAN, to seek an immediate interview with the Viceroy and to demand the contradiction of these libellous and malicious placards. The Vice- roy I am bound to say with apparent readiness issued a proclamation which, as you will see from my despatch No. 125 of the 29th May, I did not consider sufficiently explicit as it was in far too general terms. I therefore requested the Consul to see the Viceroy again and to point out to him that in my opinion his proclamation was not nearly adequate to the occasion. The Viceroy thereupon issued a second proclamation which appeared more to the purpose but which coming too late had little effect on the already exasperated ruffians in his Province. The Registrar General then at my desire drew up a proclamation which was issued throughout Hongkong warning persons from giving credence to the lies which were current as to the treatment of patients and others in our hospitals, and stating in the simplest language what the treatment was, what objects the Government had in view, and how carefully and with due regard to Chinese customs (as far as the nature of the disease would admit) the corpses of their dead friends and relatives were disposed of. I have forwarded all the correspondence which has passed bet- ween the Colonial Secretary and Mr. BRENAN on these subjects as well as subsequent correspondence respecting the brutal attack by the rowdies of Canton on two American Lady Missionary Doctors to Her Majesty's Minister at Peking requesting him to lay the correspondence before the Tsung-li Yamen.

16. It is to be hoped, though I fear such hope is not likely to be realised, that some strong repressive measures will be taken to prevent such outrageous proceedings in future in reference to the subjects of a friendly power.

728 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894.

　　　17. On the 16th June the Consul informed me that the Viceroy had promised to assure the safety of the Consulates but that he could not be responsible for the conduct of the people towards foreigners in the villages, etc. outside of Canton and that therefore missionaries and foreigners had better keep themselves within doors.

　　　18. From time to time I have kept your Lordship informed of the progress of the plague, from which you will have learnt that there has been no considerable diminution in the ravages of the disease hitherto; but I am happy to state that the last returns are really more satisfactory, and sanguine hopes are generally entertained that the worst is at last over.

　　　19. Owing to the number of persons it has been necessary to dislodge from the infected houses in the Chinese quarter, a number which is estimated at about 7,000, the Government has had to incur considerable and immediate expenditure. Nu- merous matsheds have been erected and Government has hired blocks of unoccupied buildings and godowns for the segregation and isolation of those whom it has been necessary to keep under observation. Upwards of 350 houses have already been condemned as unfit for habitation. These have been closed and walled in. cordon sanitaire has also been established with a view of keeping persons from the infected portion of the Town-the Western District-from migrating to the Eastern District. Thousands of people, roughly estimated at 80,000 as I have stated in my telegram of the 16th June, have left the Island for the neighbouring province within the last month in every sort of marine conveyance-sampans, boats, junks and river steamers; and I am informed that persons have even walked on board the steamers at the wharves at Hongkong and have died before they reached Canton 8 or 9 hours distant.

20. On about the 12th of this month the Glass Works hospital under the manage- ment of the Tung Wah Committee became seriously over-crowded, there being some 200 patients in a building capable of holding about 100. Owing to the great scarcity of labour it was impossible to build refuges fast enough. The new building recently finished for a Pig and Sheep Depot was about to be placed at the disposal of the Sanitary Board, and the staff of the Nethersole Branch of the Alice Memorial Hospital had offered its services to Government. In the meantime, however, and before these transfers could be effected the Directors of the Benevolent Hospital at Canton through the agency of the Viceroy requested that any sick Chinese subjects who might wish to go to Canton or desire in case of death to have their corpses sent to their native villages might be forwarded in specially prepared junks to that capital. Several of the compradores employing large numbers of clerks also requested that they might be allowed to move the sick wherever found to Canton, and they also gave a pledge that if that were permitted they would remain in this Colony and not take part in the general exodus. Failing that permission they would leave at once thus placing the Banks and houses of business in even a worse position than they were at the time the application was made.

21. After serious consideration I did not feel justified in acceding to these requests. It was true that the Chinese hospital was considerably over-crowded, that the Chinese doctors had not proved that they were capable of dealing with the plague, whereas there was no doubt that a compliance with the request would have more or less defeated the efficiency of the house to house visitation, and that cases of sickness would not have been reported to the Police as they were then and are now obliged to be. After consultation with my Executive Council the majority of Members agreed with me in thinking that as a tentative measure one or two large junk loads of sick Chinese subjects might be removed to the Benevolent Hospital at Canton on the following conditions:--

(1) That the case of sickness had been reported to the Police.

(2) That the patient had passed through the hospital.

(3) That the patient expressed a desire to go to Canton.

(4) That the doctors certified that the patient was fit to be moved. (5) That the junk or junks were properly provisioned, equipped, etc., etc.,

for the comfortable conveyance of such patients to Canton.

　　22. Four small junks were sent down and towed by a Chinese steamer, and some 170 patients were sent away on Thursday and Friday, the 14th and 15th. The Consul in compliance with my wishes sent a doctor to examine and report upon these junks on their arrival at Canton, and I am glad to say that his

report is very satisfactory. up, and the remainder have and comfortably housed.

729

Only 8 of the sick, as I am informed, died on the way been visited by the European doctors and are well

23. The congested condition of the Tung Wah Glass hospital was thus relieved, and it has now been closed. In its stead the new Pig Depot capable of holding 140 patients has been opened. The management of it has been taken over to a much greater extent than in the case of the Glass Works by European doctors, and the internal arrangements are carried on by European wardmasters and attendants.

24. It would be too much to say that the Chinese doctors are convinced their treatment of the disease is radically defective, but as our staff of medical men is about to be reinforced by two medical officers sent down by Admiral FREMANTLE from Japan, and by two others whose services I have secured, one from Swatow and another from Ningpo, we are now in a position to assume charge of nearly all the patients that are sent to the several hospitals.

25. The hospitals at present in existence are:-

(1) The Hygeia,

2) Kennedy Town,

(3)

(4) New Pig Depot,

Convalescent,...

(5) New Glass Works Matshed,

...for 40 patients.

26. The last of these is under the management of Messrs. BURTON and BAILY of the Nethersole Branch of the Alice Memorial Hospital.

27. As to the origin of the plague numerous theories exist. It is true that in my Despatch No. 115 of the 17th May, I said-" Doubtless it has been introduced into Hongkong from Canton," this was the popular theory at the time, but further information leads me to the conclusion that it is impossible to speak definitely on this point and hardly safe to hazard a guess. Since the outbreak here it has been ascertained that the plague is endemic in Yunnan and Pakhoi. That it has been endemic in one or both of these places for the last seven years and that while it has been extremely severe in Canton, it has prevailed, according to His Excellency the Governor of Indo-China, all over the South of China. Hongkong receives a regular and constant supply of pigs for the use of the Chinese from Pakhoi and nearly all other articles of food are obtained from Canton with which this Colony is in hourly connection. The same may be said with regard to Macao, but it is a curious fact notwithstanding this frequent communication and notwithstanding the immigration of thousands of persons from Hongkong into Macao during the last month, not a single case of plague has occurred in that Colony. As your Lordship is perhaps aware Hongkong has recently experienced the most severe drought that has ever been known. With one exception, no rain fell between the middle of October, 1893, and the 16th May, 1894. It is, I think, very probable that the want of sufficient water-though the present storage capacity is 378,000,000 gallons--and the filthy habits of life amongst the 210,000 Chinese who reside here though the new drainage system in course of completion was adopted as an improvement on the one formerly existing-has rendered Hongkong liable to the invasion and development of the germ of the bubonic plague. Having found a footing here the great danger is of course that, as in other parts of China, it may become endemic. In Dr. SHARP DEANE's report of 1891 on the health of Pakhoi, I observe the following statement:-"The Chinese are of opinion that the bubonic plague emanates from the ground and is favoured by a long continuance of dry "weather when the earth becomes porous and numerous fissures appear on the surface "facilitating the of whatever causes the disease." These conditions prevailed to an unusual extent in Hongkong during the 7 months to which I have referred. 28. In this connection I may mention that the Japanese experts who have been sent here to diagnose the disease claim to have discovered the Bacillus of the plague and the medical staff admit the claim.

sugar

29. As to the effect of the plague it is felt in every branch of business and the loss to the public revenue, to bankers, merchants, shipping companies, the refining industry, traders, shopkeepers, owners of property and the labouring classes can never be accurately determined. On the whole perhaps the shipping interests are the most affected. At this season the emigrants to the Straits Settle- ments have hitherto been counted by thousands per month, and the movements of

{

The

passengers up and down the Chinese Coast, to and from Kwangtung and through Hongkong usually amount to vast numbers. Pacific Mail steamers leaving for Vancouver, Honolulu and San Francisco refuse to take Chinese passengers. English, French, and German Mails refuse to take native passengers and the two latter decline cargo also, or even to enter the limits of the Harbour. Irregular liners avoid calling at the port altogether.

　　　　30. Considering the great importance of Hongkong as a shipping port it is only possible to conjecture what is lost by quarantine regulations against her in every direction which drive away vessels from her harbour, and deprive all, down to the humblest labourer, of their proportion of gain from the coaling, victualling, loading and discharging of the immense fleet which ordinarily frequents these waters.

　　　　31. Chinese hong merchants have retired to the mainland leaving their premises to caretakers and their commercial engagements in abeyance until the public health shall be restored. The effect of this is much felt by merchants whose merchandize is left on their hands beyond the contract time and many have had to call on their bankers to enable them to tide over the lock up of money. The bankers under such circumstances buy and sell fewer bills and they witness the contraction of all the ramifications of trade in which they have a financial interest. The turn over in sugar and sugar refining is reckoned not by thousands but by millions of dollars, and although happily not suspended it is for the moment crippled for want of labour. Landlords in the affected districts of the City receive no rents, and the natives generally in the midst of all their troubles find their necessary articles of food 30 or even 50% above the usual price.

　　　　32. Without exaggeration I may assert that so far as trade and commerce are concerned the plague has assumed the importance of an unexampled calamity.

33. As to the "arrangements contemplated" I have to inform your Lordship that at a meeting of the Legislative Council on the 12th June, I briefly sketched the methods which the Government intended to pursue with a view of preventing a recurrence of such a catastrophe. I enclose an extract from that speech. The remedy is, as your Lordship will see, a very drastic one. It may result in the destruction and re-building of one tenth part of Hongkong. It will certainly necessitate the extension in every direction of houses fitted for Chinese occupation on improved sanitary principles. It will doubtless cause a general increase in rents, an increase in the cost of living as well as a general increase in the rate of wages. It will also necessitate the increase of the storage capacity of the Tytam Water Works so as to secure an additional supply of about 80,000,000 gallons of water. The expense to the Government of such sweeping alterations and additions it is impossible to estimate. As regards the existing drainage and water works and their completion and extension your Lordship will no doubt consult Mr. COOPER, the Director of Public Works, who is now on leave of absence in England and who can give you the fullest and most reliable information in respect to those subjects.

34. In reply to my speech I may here mention that, on behalf of the Unofficial Members and the Community at large, the Senior Unofficial Member, the Honour- able C. P. CHATER, promised that the Government should be loyally supported in all its endeavours to cope with the unfortunate dilemma in which the Colony is placed. That promise will, as I have inferred, involve the Colony in an enormous outlay the amount of which it would be at present rash to predict.

35. I may remind your Lordship that in the case of Mauritius the Imperial Government, about two years ago, came to the assistance of that Colony. I have no doubt that if I should hereafter appeal to your Lordship for similar consideration direction it would be generously extended to this Colony which is suffering in every from the terrible visitation with which it has been so suddenly overwhelmed.

36. The Government and the community, as I have stated in this Despatch, as well as publicly, is deeply indebted to the Military and Naval Forces and espe- cially to the Colonel of the Shropshire Regiment for the great assistance they have rendered, and they regret the loss of one gallant officer, Captain VESEY, and at least one Private, who have fallen victims to the plague. To Mr. FRANCIS, Q.C., Mr. MAY, Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, Captain HASTINGS, Mr. CROOK, Mr. TOOKER, and many other lay volunteers the Government and public are also under great obligations; indeed, I may say that several public officers and especially the medical staff and all the staff of the Public Works Department are doing additional duty unhesi- tatingly and ungrudgingly and with a single desire to aid in the repression of a fell disease the like of which has happily never before been experienced in this hitherto prosperous Colony.

Enclosure 1.

(Notice issued by His Excellency the Governor)

Whereas certain bad characters have been spreading lying rumours regarding the treatment of the sick in Hongkong and the burial of the dead, this notice is issued to remove all doubts and suspicions and to bring comfort to the hearts of the people. Ever since the plague appeared in Hongkong, every effort has been made to cure the sick and many have been cured and hospitals have been established under Western and Chinese doctors, and people are free to go to what hospital they please. In the case of those who have died, they have been properly encoffined, and buried with every care in a cemetery specially selected for the purpose, where grave-stones are placed on each grave, with a number and the name of the deceased, so that his last resting-place may be easily recognised and so that his remains may not be neglected by his surviving relations. The Governor has also written to the Viceroy of Canton and some of the sick have in consequence been removed to the Canton hospital, they having expressed a wish to return to their native country. You people will, therefore, see from all these measures that my great desire is to benefit the people and to restore them if possible to health. Do not then believe lying rumours. The rascals who spread them will most certainly be severely punished. Take heed lest you also become involved in their machinations and repentance comes too late.

Enclosure 2.

(Extract from Governor's Speech to the Legislative Council.)

However, if blame is to be attached to the Government in the past I am determined at all events that it shall not be attached to the Government in the future, and with this object I have asked the Attorney General to prepare a Bill the main principle of which I will endeavour to explain to you as shortly as possible. As stated by Mr. LEACH just now, that very able and energetic member of the community, Mr. FRANCIS, Q.C., has shown the greatest ability and energy in grappling with all the correspondence and many difficulties which have arisen out of this epidemic. That learned Q.C. has promised to assist in preparing a Bill which I hope will render a recurrence of such an epidemic as the one now with us impossible in the future. This Bill will of course be of a very drastic character. It will give the Government--this is of course simply what we propose-it will give, the Government power to enter into immediate possession of, and pull down, and destroy, all dwelling houses and blocks of houses unfit for human habitation. It will provide that the Government shall at once resume the possession of all land

732 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894.

now.

on which such dwellings are built, paying of course compensation for so doing. It will provide that the Government shall have power to enter all houses now insanitary though capable of being put into thoroughly sanitary condition. Owners will be compelled to amend all such defects in the houses as render them insanitary. The Government will have power to re-survey and re-arrange all lots so taken, and open new roads and improve the old ones. Power will also be taken to enter and inspect all Chinese houses; such houses will be numbered and classified, and a fixed number of tenants will be allotted to each house and room, and owners will be obliged to enter into a covenant that that number shall not in any case be exceeded; any infraction of that covenant will of course be followed by heavy penalties. There are naturally and necessarily many questions of detail, questions, for instance, of providing for those removed from infected districts, questions dealing with the rights of mortgagees and lessees, and questions of awarding compensation; but roughly speaking the main features of the Bill are those I have endeavoured to describe. With an Ordinance of this sort in force I need hardly tell you that Taipingshan and a great many streets not in Taipingshan will probably be razed to the ground and re-erected on proper sanitary principles. You will understand that such a measure as this affects many existing interests and will be of a very complicated character, and necessarily the Attorney General, even with the assistance of Mr. FRANCIS, will require some considerable time in which to prepare it. I can only hope, however, that he will not keep us long in suspense, for I think that the old adage "Strike while the iron is hot" is most applicable just I feel also certain that when the Bill comes before you, recognising the necessity for some very strong measure and realising the dreadful effect of the plague on the best interests of the Colony in the future if any half measures should be adopted you will give it your full and ready support. There is another matter connected with the plague which I may refer to, and that is the possibility of increasing our water supply. I suppose that drought to a great measure is responsible for this epidemic, and I understand that there is a large storage capacity available both at Tytam Reservoir and at Pokfulam, if the Council were to decide that the storage capacity should be increased. I may say that in my own opinion it will be no use giving a larger supply of water to the Chinese quarter unless it is distributed in a proper manner by responsible officials. What we want, as was well said in the paper this morning, is not so much a house to house visitation as a drain to drain visitation, and unless we can flush these drains regularly I am afraid we shall not get rid of the seeds of the disease. It would be retrograde of me to say, perhaps, that the separate drainage system was a failure, but I cannot help being of opinion that the proper system if it could be carried out for China- town would be the surface system (hear, hear) which is in force in the West India Islands where I have resided. There you see everything above ground, whilst here you do not see the dead cats, the dead rats, and old rags, that fill up the drains and cause such an intolerable and dangerous nuisance. I should be glad to know what the feeling of the unofficial members is in regard to the additional water supply. I should be prepared to call for reports from experts here if they considered it advisable, and I understand that for a moderate expense-$70,000 or $80,000-we could get 70,000,000 gallons more at Tytam alone. Before sitting down I think there is one other thing I ought to say and that is that I am sure the community at large and the Government feel most deeply indebted to the Military and Naval authorities for the gallant voluntary assistance which the officers and men have given to us and are still affording to us during this plague. (Applause.) They have thrown themselves into the disgusting and filthy work required of them with true characteristic British pluck, and one gallant officer has sacrificed his life in endeavouring to assist the community. I am quite sure that when the sad which history of this plague is written one of the brightest spots will be that page records how officers and men, numbering over three hundred in all, gallantly assisted us by risking their lives, with a view to saving the lives of thousands of others from whom they could never expect recompense, gratitude or even thanks. (Applause.) I fully endorse all that the Attorney General has said with reference to Mr. FRANCIS. I appreciate his help most thoroughly. I also wish to say that the Government is indebted to several public officers and lay volunteers, though the latter are not in such numbers as I should like to see, for the courage and energy they have shown in endeavouring to grapple with this disease. I hope, therefore, gentlemen, after what I have said, that you will be prepared to give the Government your fullest and most hearty support in any measure and in any action we may take not only to stamp out this plague but to prevent a recurrence of it in the near future. (Applause.)

　　The following Report on the Assessment for 1894-95, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 27th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th August, 1894.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

ASSESSOR'S OFFICE,

13th June, 1894.

　　SIR,-I have the honour to submit my fifth Annual Report, on the Assessment for the year 1894-95.

　　2. By order of His Excellency the Governor in Council, I have made a new Valuation of the City of Victoria, the Hill District, Kowloon Point, Hung Hom and Yau Ma Ti; the existing valuations of all other villages and places being adopted for the ensuing year.

　　3. The result of the new valuation is that the rateable value of the Colony as a whole has increased by $50,651 equal to 1.39 per cent.

4. There is an increase of $34,140 or 1.08 per cent. in the rateable value of the City of Victoria. 5. For the first time since 1890-91 the rateable value of the City of Victoria shews an increase as compared with the preceding year. This result is owing, in a large measure, to an apparently decided check upon rental depreciation, the reductions from this cause being only $59,000 against $129,340 last year and $145,720 in the Valuation of 1892-93. The gain, in rateable value, from new tenements, and property increased in value is $93,000.

6. The Hill District, Kowleon Point, Hung Hom and Yau Ma Ti all shew improved rateable values, aggregating $8,590 or 2.79 per cent.

7. In the rest of the Colony, i.e., the Chinese Villages, there has been an increase in the assessed values of $7,921 or 4.28 per cent., which arises from new tenements having been rated for the first time since the last valuation.

8. From 1st July, 1893, to 1st June, 1894, Interim Valuations were made as follows:-

In the City of Victoria.

117 new tenements, rateable value,

22 improved tenements, rateable value,. Replacing Assessments amounting to

　　10. I attach Table A, giving a comparison of the Valuations for 1893-94 and 1894-95 of the City of Victoria, the amount increased or decreased in each of the ten Districts, and the net increase; Table B, a similar comparison for the Hill District, Kowloon Point, Hung Hom and Yau Ma Ti; and Table C, a summary for the whole Colony.

　　11. There has been no change in the staff. Mr. CHAN PUI, Clerk to Assessor, and Mr. IP YUK PUI, Interpreter-who has been placed on the permanent establishment,-have continued to discharge their duties satisfactorily.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the following report on the British Postal Service in Hong- kong and China during the year 1893.

2. In addition to the countries enumerated in paragraph 3 of my report for 1892 the following were added during the year to the list of countries with which packets of patterns or samples of merchandise of a maximum weight of 350 grammes (12 oz.) may be exchanged, viz.:-The Argentine Republic, the Dominican Republic, the Republic of Honduras, Ecuador, Persia, Spain, Japan and Bolivia.

3. The triennial statistics, on which the payment of charges for the transport of mails throughout the Postal Union is based, were taken during the first 28 days of November.

As far as they have been verified the total weight of mails received and despatched during this period is shown in Table A.

There was an increase of 1,731 parcels received and of 968 despatched as compared with 1892. 8. Table F gives approximately the Postal Statistics for the year. Compared with 1892 there is an increase under all heads. Table G gives the figures for the past eight years.

9. Table H shews the Revenue and Expenditure for the year as compared with 1892:-

The Revenue in 1892 was

1893

$157,699.03 $167,596.77

Increase,

$ 9,897.74

The Expenditure in 1892 was

1893

$154,248.30 $153,286.96

Decrease,.......

$ 961.34

The Expenditure in 1892, however, included a sum of $4,143.23 paid to Germany on account of transit dues for 1891, and if this be deducted then the expenditure for 1893 exceeds that for 1892 by $3,181.89, an excess which is to be attributed to the low rate of exchange prevailing during the year.

10. The number of messages received at the Telegraph room attached to the Post Office was 5,880. Of these 1,215 were signals of approaching vessels; 484 being from Gap Rock and 731 from Cape D'Aguilar. The remaining 4,665 were Meteorological signals of which 1,632 were from Gap Rock, and 3,033 from the Peak.

Setting aside the twelve relieving days, the interruptions to the communication with Gap Rock amounted to eleven and those with Cape D'Aguilar to eighteen, the dates and causes of which are given in Tables I and J.

11. A Commission which was appointed to enquire into the working of this service with a view to its improvement, submitted its report in due course, but I am not aware of the intentions of the Government regarding it. If it is intended that the connection with the Post Office should continue, then as I stated last year, I am of opinion that there should be two clerks at this end, one to be on duty in the forenoon, and the other in the afternoon in order that signals of approaching vessels may be received at an earlier hour than 6 A.M. and a later hour than 6 P.M. as the days lengthen with the

return of summer.

12. Table K shews the results of the Money Order transactions during the year. The great fall in the rate of Exchange consequent on the closing of the Indian Mints brought about a loss of $4,092.00 to this Government on settling up the Money Order accounts with India for the second quarter. In order to avoid further loss it was decided to suspend the exchange of Money Orders with that country. The suspension, as far as this Colony was concerned, took place on the 29th June, 1893, and in India on the 15th August, 1893, this date being fixed in order to allow of time for instructing all the issuing Offices in that country. Business has not yet been resumed.* Negocia- tions for a direct exchange of Money Orders with the United States of America were advanced, and a Convention has since been signed under which orders will be exchanged on and after the 1st July Arrangements for the issue of Local Postal Notes were completed and the issue commenced on the 1st January, 1894.

13. I would again urge the advisability of establishing Branch Offices at the Peak and Kowloon and also in the Eastern and Western portions of the town, as recommended in my last report. Be- sides the advantages to which I then drew attention, I would mention the additional facilities that could be given to the public through them for the purchase of Postage Stamps and the registration of correspondence. Owing to the want of sufficient room in the present building it is impossible to provide greater facilities for these purposes than we do already. While this is a great inconvenience at all times when a Contract Mail is closing, it becomes doubled on the many occasions when there are

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894. 737

two Contract Mails, say the Canadian and the French, closing simultaneously. Branch Offices would tend, I believe, to greatly diminish, if not entirely remove, this inconvenience, as people would naturally go to the nearest Post Office to buy their stamps and post their letters. Moreover, I think it not unlikely that, if there were Branch Offices in the town, much of the Chinese correspondence for other than places in China that at the present time is sent from the Colony through illicit Chinese Post Offices would in process of time find its way to the Branch Offices and thereby add to the Postal Revenue.

14. Mr. C. M. BARRADAS resigned his duties as Marine Officer and Mr. A. J. REED was appointed in his stead on the 21st June.

The health of the Staff has been fairly good.

15. Mr. STEPHENS resigned the Agency at Hankow in September last and was succeeded by Mr. W. B. FITZGIBBON. Mr. PITZIPIOS was succeeded at Canton by Mr. H. GOFFE, in February, and Mr. FERRIER was relieved at Swatow by Mr. E. F. BENNETT in December.

16. A good deal of inconvenience has been felt by the public through the want of 7 and 14 cent stamps. The question of rates of postage came under the consideration of the Government on receipt of information that the Singapore Office proposed to alter its rates of postage. If the present rate to England is to be maintained, it is desirable that the convenience of the public should be met by the issue of 7 and 14 cent stamps. The dies of former issues have no doubt been preserved by the Crown Agents and there should be no difficulty in printing a supply of stamps from them with the surcharges of 7 cents and 14 cents in the same manner as in the case of the 20 cent and 50 cent stamps at present in use.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 322.

The following Report of the Acting Superintendent, Botanical and Afforestation Department, on the Caterpillar Plague, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 27th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th August, 1894.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 36.

BOTANIC GARDens, HONGKONG, 10th July, 1894.

SIR,--I have the honour, in compliance with your request of the 3rd instant, to forward the following report on the Caterpillar Plague.

DISCOVERY AND PREVENTION.

The caterpillar which has been attacking the Pine trees (Pinus sinensis, Lamb.) in nearly all parts of the Island and Kowloon, is the caterpillar of a large moth (Eutricha punctata, Walk.).

　　　2. It was first seen this year towards the end of April, when the insects were not more than two or three lines in length.

　　　3. At that time the pest had not commenced its ravages, but knowing its habits by past experience, and in view of the fact that the numbers were greatly in excess of anything seen before, as many as two and three hundred being observed on a single tree, representations were made to the Government, to the effect that the Chinese should be invited to collect them, and that all brought in should be paid for by weight.

　　　4. The Government readily consented to the suggestion, and the Captain Superintendent of Police kindly agreed to allow the caterpillars to be brought into the Police Stations nearest to where they were collected. The Botanic Gardens' Office was also a receiving station.

　　　5. The method of catching these pests was by shaking the trees and then picking up the insects from the ground by means of pincers, or with the fingers enclosed in cloth. A sudden shake of the tree brought most of the caterpillars down, but they soon re-gained their former positions unless prevented from doing so.

　　　6. When the insects were brought in to the Police Stations, they were destroyed by pouring boiling water over them, or soine other efficacious substance, as sea water, after which they were buried, due precautions being taken that everything was carried out satisfactorily from a sanitary point of view.

DURATION.

7. The length of time the plague has lasted may be put down as two months-from the end of April to the end of June. The first lot brought in by the Chinese was on May 24th, and the last on June 28th. No cocoons were observed until the beginning of June, when arrangements were at once made to have them collected and paid for in the same way as the caterpillars. The first lot of cocoons brought in was on June 6th, and at the present time they are still being collected, although the quantities are becoming less and less. In all probability the cocoons would have been all collected by this time, were it not for the difficulty of getting coolies to do the work, owing to the great scarcity of labour in the Colony during the last few weeks.

QUANTITIES.

　　　　8. The quantity of caterpillars brought in and paid for, at the various Police Stations and the Botanic Gardens, was over 60,000 catties, or nearly 36 tons. Cocoons to the weight of 5,000 catties have been received up to date. There were 511 caterpillars in the particular catty counted, and the cocoons numbered 800 to the catty. This gives the enormous number of 35,000,000 insects destroyed, to say nothing of future generations.

COST.

　　　　9. The expense of getting rid of the scourge has been about $5,000, or an average of 7 cents. per catty for both caterpillars and cocoons. The price paid per catty was varied according to the quantity of caterpillars and cocoons found in the several districts. From four to fifteen cents have been offered for caterpillars, although the latter price failed to attract collectors when the insects had become scarce. Cocoons have been paid for at a price varying from twenty to forty cents per catty.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894.

EFFECT ON VEGETATION.

743

10. The caterpillars damage the trees by eating their leaves, commencing on the old leaves, and when these are consumed going on to the younger ones. When the trees have been entirely denuded of leaves, they are practically dead, as leaves are the principal organs where the conversion takes place of various inorganic substances into organic matter, for the food and building up of the plant. There are very few trees, however, which have lost all their leaves, and these few are located in various parts of the Island. There are some around Aberdeen, at Deep Water Bay, at Causeway Bay and North Point, at Shaukiwan and near Chaiwan. Many trees have been stripped of their old leaves and are consequently in a rather sickly condition. I am of opinion, however, that they will recover in time, as most of them have sufficient young leaves to enable them to make new growth, in fact, a good number of them are already starting to grow.

PREVIOUS VISITATIONS.

　　　11. If the Chinese are to be believed, this caterpillar has been known on the mainland for several years past, and the natives regarded it as an annual visitor with no very great destructive powers. A few leaves were eaten yearly, but no practical damage done. It was not observed in this Colony until the end of the summer of 1892. Little damage was then done to the trees, which may be explained by the fact that the number of insects was comparatively small, only two or three being seen on each individual tree. The localities which they appeared in were Deep Water Bay and

Kowloon.

12. The second appearance was last year, at Quarry Bay and Kowloon, towards the end of July. Their numbers had very much increased on the previous year's, as twenty or thirty were sometimes found on a single tree. At Quarry Bay upwards of 30,000 trees were killed, as the Chinese from various reasons could not be induced to collect the pest. One of the chief objections to take part in the work was the pain caused by the hairs of the caterpillars stinging their hands and feet, as well as other parts of their bodies. Another objection was the great difficulty in finding the insects after they had fallen amongst the long grass underneath the trees. Great numbers were collected by our own staff, but owing to the unhealthiness of the district the men had to be taken away, and, as it was, two of the men died from fever contracted whilst at work in that neighbourhood.

PROBABLE CAUSE OF PLAGUE.

13. The cause of the very great increase in the number of the insects this year on anything previously known is, in my opinion, as follows. The winter of 1892-93 was exceptionally severe, and it is quite probable that the natural foe of the caterpillar succumbed to the extraordinarily low tempera- ture. What its enemy is, or was, so far has not been discovered, but no doubt one existed. This idea is very much strengthened by looking at the colour and markings of the caterpillar. When it is full grown its colour closely resembles that of the Pine tree branches, and its markings correspond with the scars left on the branches after the leaves have fallen away. On account of this, in examining Pine trees, it is most difficult to see the caterpillars on them, until the trees have been very closely scrutinised for a few minutes; this too when the caterpillars have attained their maximum size, nearly three inches in length and a quarter of an inch in breadth. This close resemblance to the branches of the trees on which these insects thrive, undoubtedly points to a form of protection from some other insect or bird. Another point in favour of the above suggestion is, as mentioned before, that the caterpillar had been known on the mainland for several years past, but previous to the winter of 1892-93 it had not been known to do any damage.

14. If the enemy of the caterpillar was destroyed in the way suggested above, it is quite easy to account for the great increase in the numbers of the pest last year and the still greater increase this year. The chrysalids formed at the end of the summer of 1892 would become moths, and the female moths would probably deposit their eggs in the spring of 1893. One moth is capable of laying an enormous number of eggs, but a good percentage of these do not hatch. The caterpillars hatched in the spring of last year would, in their turn, become chrysalids about the beginning of June, and these chrysalids would become moths about the latter end of the same month. The moths would then deposit their eggs in July, and the caterpillars seen last year at Quarry Bay and Kowloon would, in all probability, be the second hatching. As previously mentioned, many of these were collected, and those which remained formed chrysalids and afterwards moths, and these moths would be the ones which deposited their eggs on the trees this spring.

15. The history of the life of the insect since the end of the summer of 1892 is based chiefly on observations made this year which are as follows:-The first eggs were laid at the end of April, and the caterpillars which escaped the collectors became chrysalids at the end of May or beginning of June, the moths appeared in the middle of June, and now they are depositing the second lot of eggs. It is very gratifying, however, to be able to state that very few eggs or caterpillars have been seen of this second lot, although the plantations have been well examined.

744

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1sr SEPTEMBER, 1894.

16. Another probable reason for the very large number of the insects which appeared this spring, is the drought which prevailed at the time they were hatched. At this stage of their existence they are extremely small, being only a few lines in length and about the fiftieth part of an inch in breadth, so that it may readily be imagined what the effect of a tropical shower would be upon them at this early period of their life. On several occasions, when I was examining the plantations, it was raining very heavily, and underneath the trees full grown caterpillars were lying on the ground, in hundreds and thousands, in a half dead condition. A prolonged heavy rain would undoubtedly have killed

them.

REMARKS.

17. The eggs of the moth are deposited on the upper part of the leaves, and thus the caterpillars have food to go upon as soon as they come out of the shell. The eggs are pink in colour and oval in shape, about the sixteenth of an inch in length and the twenty-fifth part of an inch in breadth. The size of the moths varies, the largest of the females being 24 inches across the wings, and 14 inches long, whilst the males are 2 inches across the wings, and an inch long. Both sexes are fawn-coloured, but the male sometimes has a few white and black markings on its wings. The chrysalids are enveloped It in a stiff papery cocoon, which is fastened very firmly to the leaves or other parts of the trees. will thus be noticed that from the time the eggs are laid until the moths are produced, the insects remain on the trees.

　　　18. In conclusion, it is satisfactory to know that the methods employed for the extirpation of the scourge have been decidedly successful. Of the many thousands of trees which were attacked, only a very small

percentage have been killed, and many of those which have had some of their leaves destroyed, are in a fair way towards recovery. The pest which at one time threatened the destruction of all the Pine trees in the Colony has, for the present at any rate, been most successfully coped with.

I have the honour to be,

HONGKONG, 31st July, 1894.

　　SIR,-In accordance with instructions contained in C.S.O. 4784, I have the honour to forward you a brief report upon the progress of Public Works during the half-year ending 30th June, 1894.

ANNUAL RECURRENT EXPEnditure.

　　2. Repairs to Buildings.--All Government Buildings in occupation have been satisfactorily main- tained.

3. The following buildings have been wholly or partially repaired, painted and colour-washed :-

Government Civil Hospital.

Women's Hospital.

European Lunatic Asylum.

No. 1 Police Station.·

No. 3 Police Station.

No. 7 Police Station.

Officers' Quarters, Stonecutter's Island.

4. The building known as Crosby Store, divided into-

(a) A Store for this Department,

(b) Offices until recently used by the Educational Department, (c) Quarters for Mr. SILVA, Chief Clerk in the Post Office,

is fast approaching a ruinous condition, and the question of abandoning or repairing this structure admits of no further delay.

　　5. "Mountain Lodge" is also fast falling into ruins; its sale and demolition might be worthy of consideration before the material of which it is constructed is absolutely valueless.

6. Maintenance of Telegraphs.-The telephone line to Cape D'Aguilar has been reconstructed throughout, the old wooden poles have been substituted by iron ones. (C.S.O. 28.)

　　7. The establishment of telephonic in the place of telegraphic communication between the several Police Stations and other Government buildings has so far proved a success.

8. The working of the lines along the Shaukiwan Road has from time to time been interfered with by induction from neighbouring Military wires, but alterations in the positions of both the Colonial and Military lines have, to some extent, mitigated the evil.

　　9. Maintenance of Public Cemetery.-The Public Cemetery has been maintained without any exceptional expenditure, the number of interments has been 45.

10. The space available for burial is now rather limited and ere long the question of extending the Cemetery must claim the attention of the Government.

　　11. Maintenance of Praya Wall and Piers.-No exceptional expenditure has been incurred under this heading, the usual repairs have been executed.

12. Maintenance of Lighthouses.With the exception of the Gap Rock, repairs to which were rendered necessary by the Typhoon of October 1893, none of the other lighthouses requiried special

attention.

13. The work of restoring the damage done to the Gap Rock Lighthouse is fast approaching completion.

14. Maintenance of Disinfector.-The building and apparatus are in a satisfactory state of repair. 15. Dredging Foreshores.-The Dredger has been mainly employed at Causeway Bay. 30,389 cube yards of sub-marine materials have been removed and deposited: 24,470 cube yards outside Green Island, and 5,919 cube yards on Reclamation. The Dredger and machinery have been satisfactorily Inaintained.

16. Miscellaneous Works. The principal works in hand or completed under this heading are:- (a) The reconstruction of the south end wall of the Magazine at Stonecutter's Island and

works in connection therewith. (C.S.O. 4)

(6) The general repairs, painting, alteration of drains, &c., of the Superintendent's Quarters,

Victoria Gaol. (C.S.O. 74)

(d) The construction of an enclosure wall around the Lunatic Asylums. (C.S.O. 333.) (a) was taken in hand under the annual contract No. 14 for repairs to buildings outside Victoria. Mr. TSANG KENG being the contractor, very slow progress has been made with the work, and I take this opportunity of recording the unsatisfactory manner in which this contractor is perform- ing his contract generally.

　　　　　(b) is practically completed, the work was done under contract No. 1854, viz., the annual contract for repairs to buildings in Victoria.

(c) A contract No. 1 was entered into with Mr. Foo SIK on the 29th May last, for the execu- tion of this work, which so far has proceeded satisfactorily.

(d) This work is completed, it was done under contract No. 1894, and seems to fulfil in every. respect the object for which it was designed.

17. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-The work has been principally confined to repairs more or less of a minor nature. Until all the drainage and sewerage works, which necessitate the opening and breaking up of the thoroughfares, are completed, ricksha and horse traffic must necessarily suffer some inconvenience; but knowing the importance of maintaining the roads and streets of the City in good repair I will not fail to give the matter careful attention.

18. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria.-The damage done to the Aberbeen and Shaukiwan Roads by the storms of September and October 1893 has been restored.

The new and old Aberdeen Roads, the road from Deep Water Bay to Stanley, and the road to Cape D'Aguilar, have been repaired. Several of the old timber bridges spanning watercourses have been removed, and new bridges formed of iron rails and concrete constructed in their place. (C.S.O.'s 2766 and 438

1893

1894

498

19. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon.-As reported in C.S.O. 1434, the Military Authorities have allowed a quantity of earth to be washed on to the surface of Elgin Road from War Department land, much to the inconvenience of pedestrian and ricksha traffic. Otherwise the roads and streets in the Peninsula are in a good state of repair.

　　　　20. Miscellaneous Services.-A temporary Matshed Small-pox Hospital has been constructed by Mr. Ko SHING for $450 in accordance with his tender dated the 10th May. (C.S.O. 7804.)

21. Maintenance of Waterworks.-The Waterworks have been maintained in a satisfactory condi- tion without any exceptional expenditure.

The scarcity of water which prevailed during the spring rendered the intermittent system again.

necessary.

I attach a report from the Water Authority giving particulars and statistics of the water supply during the period under review.

　　　　22, Maintenance of Sewers.-The sewers throughout the Colony have been maintained in a satisfactory condition. The expenditure incurred on the special work of flushing and disinfecting, which was done after the outbreak of the plague may, I think, fairly be charged to the vote covering plague expenses.

　　　　23. Lighting of the City of Victoria and Kowloon.-The Hongkong and China Gas Company and the Hongkong Electric Light Company have each performed the work under their contracts in a satisfactory manner.

　　　　24. Maintenance of Public Recreation Ground.-The Public Recreation Ground has been main- tained in a good condition at a small cost.

　　　　25. Land Survey Branch.-During the past six months, five land sales have taken place, the area leased being 21,603 square feet.

Seven extensions have been granted to existing lots.

　　　　Twenty-three lease plans have been forwarded to the Land Office in addition to the plans and particulars of leases, which have also been forwarded to that office for the preparation of the leases recommended by the Squatters' Board, in respect of the village of Shaukiwan.

　　　　26. Surveys have been made of 18 lots, also of the proposed site for Military Hospital in the Bowen Road; of Military land and reserves, Sywan Bay; of the Plague Cemetery at Sandy Bay; and of the eastern half of Kowloon Peninsula.

　　　　27. Inspection of Buildings and Work under the Building Ordinance.-During the current year, plans for 9 European houses, 59 Chinese houses, 14 miscellaneous structures, and for 68 alterations to existing houses, have been deposited.

Sixty-seven buildings have been certified under section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889. Permission has been granted to erect 10 verandahs and 5 piers over Crown land.

Twenty-four notices have been issued to remove, or otherwise make safe, structures dangerous to

the public at large, and 2 notices to remove verandah enclosures.

Four hundred and fourteen miscellaneous notices and permits have been issued.

EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.

747

28. The Central Market.-This building is approaching completion. Both towers are completed to the level of the third floor window heads. The concreting of the floors is in hand.

　　29. Slaughter House and Sheep and Pig Depots.-The buildings on the upper terrace have been completed with the exception of two floors and a few fittings.

On the intermediate terrace, the buildings are well advanced, requiring little but the roofs and the floors.

Latrines, Coolie Quarters, and Office have been completed upon the lower terrace.

The overseer's house is also completed with the exception of the doors and windows.

The water supply (pipes and fittings) has been installed.

30. The buildings upon the upper terrace were placed at the disposal of the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board on the 5th June, C.S.O. 1394, for use as a Plague Hospital, and since that date all work upon these buildings has practically been at a standstill.

　　31. Gaol Extension.-Satisfactory progress has been made with this work. The foundations of Block No. 1 are about half completed. Block No. 2 has been raised to the level of the first floor. Nearly half of the covered way to communicate between the Old and New Gaols is completed.

32. Kowloon New Roads.---This work has been completed.

33. New Water Mains.-The delivery of No. 2 Syphon on the Pokfulam conduit has been increased by the addition of a pipe 10 inches in diameter.

34. Sewerage of Victoria.-The work in the Western and Central Districts has been completed with the exception of the outfalls which will be carried to deep water when the Praya Reclamation works are far enough advanced. The work in the Eastern District is well in hand.

　　35. Water Supply, Kowloon Peninsula.-This work is progressing rapidly. Three and three- fourths miles of cast iron pipes have been laid. The construction of two wells is now in hand, and the roads leading thereto are for the most part completed.

The distributing reservoirs at Yaumati and Hung Hom have been completed, and a commence- ment has been made with the Clear Water Reservoir situated on the foreshore at Yaumati.

The greater portion of the engines and pumps has arrived from England.

36. Extension, MacDonnell and Austin Roads, Kowloon.-Considerable difficulty has been expe- rienced to get the contractors to prosecute this work in a workmanlike manner. MacDonnell Road is for the most part completed and is available for traffic. Austin Road is in process of formation, and the cutting down of Station Street between Austin Road and the Gas Company's premises is about half completed.

　　37. Kowloon Cattle Depot.-This work has not yet been commenced, but, as soon as the scare occasioned by the plague has passed away, and tradesmen and labourers return to the Colony in any number, I propose to invite tenders for the construction of the buildings.

　　38. Village Water, Drainage and Sewerage Works.-There has practically been no expenditure this year under the above heading.

39. Supplementary Works.-The construction of an addition to the Volunteer Head Quarters, in order to provide dressing rooms, lavatories, &c., together with certain alterations to the existing building, authorized in C.S.O. 173, has been completed.

40. Special Work caused by the Outbreak of Bubonic Plague.-Cemeteries for the burial of Chinese victims were opened at Kennedy Town west of the Police Station, and at Sandy Bay. (C.S.O. 1.) A special cemetery for European victims was made in an isolated position inside the area of the existing Public Cemetery. (C.S.O. 1334.)

Two matshed hospitals were erected: one near the Glass Works, and the other on the eastern side of the Kennedy Town Police Station. (C.S.O. 1.)

1399

A temporary depot for cattle was constructed upon Marine Lot 126, C.S.O. 1, in order that the existing Cattle Depot might be made available for hospital purposes if necessary.

Brick walls were constructed across certain streets in Tai-ping-shan, in order to wall in the depopulated area. (C.S.O. 14.)

I attach two diagrams showing the progress of the plague from the 11th May to the 30th June, the data was collected from the daily returns published in the local papers; the red line shows the admissions, the black line the deaths, and the brown line the number under treatment each day.

41. Proposed Works.-Plans of a proposed design for increasing the storage capacity of the Tytam Reservoir are under preparation, also plans for an Infectious Diseases Hospital.

STAFF.

42. During the spring and early summer, Mr. CHATHAM, who was appointed Acting Director of Public Works during the absence of Mr. COOPER on leave, suffered much from fever, and, acting upon his doctor's advice, he obtained two weeks' leave of absence, C.S.O. 113, and proceeded to Japan on the 23rd May. I was appointed Acting Director of Public Works during his absence or until further notice. Mr. CHATHAM was subsequently granted an extension of three weeks' leave.

(Enclosure in Acting Director of Public Works Half-Yearly Report.)

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 26th July, 1894.

　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to forward the following report on the waterworks for the first half of the present year.

　　　　1. The waterworks have been maintained in a satisfactory condition during the past half-year, the only unusual expenditure being that incurred in painting and colour-washing the motor houses in the Garden and Bonham Roads and the watchmen's residences at Pokfulam Reservoir and Filter Beds.

The expenditure is covered by the vote.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1894. 749

2. Another prolonged dry season has been experienced which necessitated the introduction of the intermittent system of supply. The rains ceased October 19th, and from that date to May 16th (a period of 208 days) when the wet season set in there was a rainfall of 5".035 only. This is one of the lowest on record.

　　The average rainfall for the last 30 years from November 1st to May 1st (a period of 181 days) is 12.98 inches. Last season only 4.305 inches fell between these dates.

　　3. The following table gives particulars respecting the hours of supply and the average con- sumption per head per diem during the time that the water was turned on intermittently to the City.

4. In working out the last column in above table a population of 190,000 has been taken which includes the boat population and adds 3 per cent. per annum to the numbers given in the Census of 1891.

This shews the consumption per head in the most favourable light as there can be no doubt that the boating population use a smaller quantity per head that the residents in the City.

5. Special arrangements were made during the period of intermittent supply to turn on the water immediately in case of fire. Europeans were stationed night and day at the Garden and Bonham Road motor houses, and these motor houses were placed in telephonic communication with the Police Stations.

The only case of delay was in the fire at Queen's Road West and Bonham Strand situated at the extremity of both the Tytam and Pokfulam systems and where the water had to pass through the whole length of mains before reaching the scene of the fire.

6. The special work of ascertaining the consumption in every tenement or block of tenements which was started last year in order to locate and check waste had to be discontinued in March on the introduction of the intermittent supply; this work has not been started again as owing to the Plague and exodus of Chinese no fair check on the consumption can be obtained. The necessary preparatory work is, however, going on so that a start may be made so soon as a normal state of things is again reached.

7. Having regard to the droughts experienced in 1891, 1893, 1894, and the waste of water and consequent necessity of introducing the intermittent system of supply, there can be no doubt as to the advisability of increasing the storage capacity, and plans are now being prepared for this work which will be submitted so soon as they are completed.

8. There is but too abundant evidence that the Chinese do not recognize the value of the water and fail to appreciate the privilege accorded them of having it laid on to their houses. No further concession in this respect should on any account be granted, indeed the time will come when it will be necessary to amend the existing Ordinance so as to prohibit services in Chinese houses unless they themselves assist in checking waste by exercising greater care in closing taps and keeping them in repair.

9. I attach a table shewing the monthly consumption during the present year together with the water drawn from each reservoir and that collected from the streams.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

HEAD QUARTER OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 28th July, 1894.

SIR, I have the honour to forward for Your Excellency's information the report of Colonel MACDONELL, Royal Artillery, on his inspection of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps in May last, and also the annual report by the Acting Commandant, dated 12th ultimo.

It will be seen that out of the 92 members of the Corps, 61 are reported as efficient.

In view of the short time that the new Corps has been in existence in its present form, and the difficulties they have had to contend with, the Inspecting Officer's report may be considered fairly satisfactory. It points to some shortcomings which will, I trust, be rectified in the coming year.

The substitution of brown leather belts in the Artillery for the buff belts at present worn would be an improvement, but it would entail an expense which is perhaps hardly justified at present and I understand that steps will be taken to improve upon the present system of cleaning them.

I beg to commend for Your Excellency's favourable consideration the points brought forward by the Acting Commandant in paragraphs 2, 3, 8 and 9 of his report.

The cost of maintaining a Quartermaster Sergeant as recommended by Lieutenant-Colonel Jerrard will be $1,800 per annum.

The addition of such a Non-Commissioned Officer to the Staff appears to be urgently necessary, and as it is only proposed to charge his cost to the Government so long as the strength of the Corps is under 150, the money voted for the expenses of the Corps will not be exceeded.

I concur with Lieutenant-Colonel JERRARD that pony draught has not proved successful, and I hope the experiments to be made with coolie draught during the ensuing year will show a better result.

The aid which would be given to the Volunteer cause by the issue of a Government notification and appeal such as that suggested by Lieutenant-Colonel JERRARD would, in my opinion, be very great.

The possession by the Volunteers of the whole instead of a part of the building which they now occupy is of great importance to their welfare, and I trust that it may be found possible to put them in complete possession of it at an early date.

In conclusion, I hope Your Excellency will be able to appoint a successor, as Commandant, to Lieutenant-Colonel JERRARD, whose services in that capacity have been of the greatest benefit to the Corps, but who, owing to his early departure from the Colony, rightly urges that his successor should be appointed without delay.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Excellency's obedient Servant,

To His Excellency

THE GOVERNOR OF HONGKONG.

G. DIGBY BARKER,

Major-General.

HEAD QUARTERS, HONGKONG, 12th June, 1894.

SIR,I have the honour to forward the documents, as per margin, connected with the training of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps for the season 1893-4 for the information of His Excellency the Major-General Commanding and favour of sub- sequent transmission to His Excellency the Governor.

2. The experience of the past year has proved conclusively to me that unless the services of a first rate Non-Commissioned Officer (Army) as Quarter-master Sergeant and Commanding Officer's clerk, can be placed entirely at the disposal of the Corps, there is no possibility of the guns, small arms, equipment, harness, ammunition and stores--of which latter there is a large quantity of various kinds Requisition for Capitation being properly looked after, the men being completely and smartly clothed, and the books efficiently kept up. This man should be obtained from the Infantry, under Queen's Regulations, Section VII, paragraph 332. He would be entrusted with the instruction in squad and company drill and with the musketry training of the Corps in addition to the duties enumerated above.

Grant.

　　　　3. Until the Corps is 150 strong, the expense of such appointment would have to be borne by the Government, in excess of the capitation grant, in the same way as the pay of the Adjutant is now provided. At present I am paying a Sergeant of Artillery $25 a month to do the work in his spare time, and the result, from no fault, I believe, of the man's but from sheer want of time has been most unsatisfactory, the books are hardly ever up to date and the arrangement of stores, supervision of cleaning of guns, harness, etc., has had to be left entirely to the District Gunner and an utterly inadequate staff of coolies. If the money I now pay the above mentioned Non-Commissioned Officer were at my disposal, I could nearly double my staff of coolies and might then reasonably expect the Corps property to be fairly cleaned and kept.

　　　　4. Pony draught has, in my opinion, proved a failure, and it is intended to make experiments shortly, with a view to the substituting of coolies for the future.

5. The Officers have all done their best both by example and precept to secure the efficiency of the Corps, and I think it may be said that the result of their efforts has been as satisfactory as could be expected for the first year of the reorganisation of the Corps.

6. The Non-Commissioned Officers are, with one or two exceptions, who have attended parade somewhat irregularly, a valuable body of men who recognise that on joining the Volunteers they have taken on themselves duties which they are bound to carry out, and that one of the chief of these is a regular attendance at parade and the maintenance of as soldierly a bearing as possible when there.

　　　　7. There are amongst the gunners a very considerable number of excellent and enthusiastic Volunteers who have done all in their power to ensure the efficiency and credit of the Corps. There is also, I regret to say, a small minority of members who are Volunteers only in name, steps are being taken to eliminate this element, either by immediate removal from the rolls, or by obtaining a guarantee from them that they will accept their responsibilities in future.

　　　　8. I would beg to reiterate the opinion expressed in my memorandum to the Colonial Secretary No. of 27th February, 1894, that the best possible effect would be produced by a Government notification being sent to Heads of Government Departments to the effect that Government favour the movement and trust that they will support it; and by firms being asked to assist by notifying to their employes that they approve of their becoming Volunteers, and will facilitate their attendance at drill. In the first case I have not overlooked the concession made by Government notification, Circular No. 6 of 6th April last, but I would urge the advisability of a specifically worded notification being sent out, at present the wishes of Government are implied only.

　　　　With regard to the second point, I would add that, while many firms meet the wishes of Officers and men in granting the latter leave for parades, etc., it would, in my opinion, be highly advisable to supplement the action of Government, already taken with the Chamber of Commerce, by a separate appeal to each firm concerned. I feel certain that were the above mentioned steps carried out a force could be maintained of sufficient strength to form an efficient and easily expandible nucleus in time. of need.

　　　　9. I should much like to see the rest of the building, used as Head Quarters, handed over; the present armoury is very small indeed for the numbers that, even at present, attend a Corps Parade, and have to get their accoutrements at about the same time.

　　　　10. In conclusion, I trust that His Excellency the Governor will shortly be able to appoint a Commandant. I shall most probably be shortly leaving the Colony, and in any case, it is, in my opinion, very advisable that the new Commandant should have the opportunity of making his own arrangements for the next season's training.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

F. JERRARD, Acting Commandant.

(From the Colonel on the Staff Commanding Royal Artillery, China,

HONGKONG, 4th May, 1894.

SIR-I have the honour to report for the information of His Excellency the Major-General Commanding, that on Wednesday, 2nd May, I inspected the Hongkong Artillery and Maxim Gun Companies of Volunteers and found them in a fair state of efficiency as regards drill and turn out. No doubt the former will improve after some steady drill, and if the men could be got to attend Captain's parades in larger numbers than they at present do.

I may here state that the turn out of the maxim gun company in their new Khakee clothing was excellent. I would respectfully suggest the substitution of brown leather belts for the present pipe clayed buffs in use with Artillery Volunteers; they are more easily cleaned and no doubt would one day be necessary when the company is provided with Khakee clothing.

The harness was strong and serviceable, but not kept up as harness should be. This could be remedied if some extra coolies were allowed.

Altogether the two Corps were in a fairly satisfactory state.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Enclosed is a parade state.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

　　Whereas by section 31 of The Public Health Ordinance, 1887, (No. 24 of 1887), it is enacted as follows:-

"Whenever any part of the Colony appears to be threatened with, or is affected by any "formidable epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, the Governor, with the advice of the "Executive Council, may, by proclamation from time to time, direct that the provisions "contained in sections 32 to 37 of this ordinance, both inclusive be put in force in the "Colony, or such part thereof, as by such proclamation may be specified, and may from time "to time revoke or renew any such proclamation; and, subject to such revocation and "renewal, every such proclamation shall be in force for such period as in such proclamation "shall be expressed, and every such proclamation shall be published in the Government "Gazette, and such publication shall be conclusive evidence thereof."

And whereas by Proclamations of the Governor bearing date the 6th day of June, 9th day of July and 9th day of August, 1894, and made with the advice of the Executive Council under the provisions of the said section 31, it was directed that the said Proclamation of the 10th day of May, 1894, be renewed, and the same was thereby renewed for further periods of one month from the 9th day of June, 9th day of July and 9th day of August, 1894.

And whereas it is expedient to revoke the said Proclamations of the 10th day of May and 9th day of August, 1894.

Now, therefore, I, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, in pursuance of the said section 31 of The Public Health Ordinance, 1887, and with the advice of the Executive Council, do hereby direct that the said Proclamations of the 10th day of May and 9th day of August, 1894, be revoked and the same are hereby revoked.

And whereas great numbers of Our loyal subjects reside and carry on commerce, and possess property and establishments, and enjoy various rights and privileges, within the territory of each of the aforesaid States, protected by the faith of Treaties between Us and each of the aforesaid States;

　　　Provided, that a person building, causing to be built, or equipping a ship in any of the cases aforesaid, in pur- suance of a contract made before the commencement of such war as aforesaid, shall not be liable to any of the penalties im- posed by this section in respect of such building or equipping, if he satisfies the conditions following, that is to say:

　　"(1.) If forthwith upon a Proclamation of Neutrality being issued by Her Majesty he gives notice to the Secretary of State that he is so building, causing to be built, or equipping such ship, and furnishes such particulars of the contract and of any matters relating to, or done, or to be done under the contract as may be required by the Secretary of State:

　　　(2.) If he gives such security, and takes and permits to be taken such other measures, if any, as the Secretary of State may prescribe for insuring that such ship shall not be dispatched, delivered, or removed without the licence of Her Majesty until the termination of such war as aforesaid.

"Where any ship is built by order of or on behalf of any foreign State when at war with a friendly State, or is de- livered to or to the order of such foreign State, or any person who to the knowledge of the person building is an agent of such foreign State, or is paid for by such foreign State or such agent, and is employed in the military or naval service of such foreign State, such ship shall, until the contrary is proved, be deemed to have been built with a view to being so em- ployed, and the burden shall lie on the builder of such ship of proving that he did not know that the ship was intended to be so employed in the military or naval service of such foreign State.

"If any person within the dominions of Her Majesty, and without the licence of Her Majesty,-

"By adding to the number of the guns, or by changing those on board for other guns, or by the addition of any equip- ment for war, increases or augments, or procures to be increased or augmented or is knowingly concerned in increas- ing or augmenting the warlike force of any ship which at the time of her being within the dominions of Her Majesty was a ship in the military or naval service of any foreign State at war with any friendly State,-

"(2.) All ships and their equipments, and all arms and ammunitions of war, used in or forming part of such expedi- tion, shall be forfeited to Her Majesty.

Any person who aids, abets, counsels, or procures the commission of any offence against this Act shall be liable to be tried and punished as a principal offender."

And whereas by the said Act it is further provided that ships built, commissioned, equipped, or dispatched in contravention of the said Act may be condemned and forfeited by Judgment of the Court of Admiralty; and that if the Secretary of State or chief executive authority is satisfied that there is a reasonable and probable cause for believing that a ship within Our dominions has been or is being built, commissioned, or equipped contrary to the said Act, and is about to be taken beyond the limits of such dominions, or that a ship is about to be dispatched contrary to the Act, such Secretary of State, or chief executive authority, shall have power to issue a warrant authorising the seizure and search of such ship and her detention until she has been either condemned or released by process of law: And whereas certain powers of seizure and detention are conferred by the said Act on certain local authorities:

Now, in order that none of Our subjects may unwarily render themselves liable to the penalties imposed by the said Statute, We do hereby strictly command that no person or persons whatsoever do commit any Act, matter, or thing whatsoever contrary to the provisions of the said Statute, upon pain of the several penalties by the said Statute imposed and of Our high displeasure.

And we do hereby further warn and admonish all Our loving subjects, and all persons what- soever entitled to Our protection, to observe towards each of the aforesaid States, their citizens, subjects, and territories, and towards all belligerents whatsoever, with whom We are at peace, the duties of neutrality; and to respect, in all and each of them, the exercise of those belligerent rights which We and Our Royal predecessors have always claimed to exercise.

　　　And We hereby further warn all Our loving subjects, and all persons whatsoever entitled to Our protection, that if any of them shall presume in contempt of this Our Royal Proclamation, and of Our high displeasure, to do any acts in derogation of their duty as subjects of a neutral Sovereign in a war between other States, or in violation or contravention of the law of nations in that behalf, as more especially by breaking, or endeavouring to break, any blockade lawfully and actually established by or on behalf of either of the said States, or by carrying officers, soldiers, despatches, arms, ammunition, military stores or materials, or any article or articles considered and deemed to be contraband of war according to the law or modern usages of nations, for the use or service of either of the sail States, that all persons so offending, together with their ships and goods, will rightfully incur and be justly liable to hostile capture, and to the penalties denounced by the law of nations in that behalf.

　　　And We do hereby give notice that all Our subjects and persons entitled to Our protection who may misconduct themselves in the premises will do so at their peril, and of their own wrong; and that they will in nowise obtain any protection from Us against such capture, or such penalties as aforesaid, but will, on the contrary, incur Our high displeasure by such misconduct.

Given at Our Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, this Seventh day of August, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, in the fifty-eighth year of Our reign.

MY LORD,

HER Majesty being fully determined to observe the duties of neutrality during the existing state of war between the Emperor of China and the Emperor of Japan, and being moreover resolved to prevent, as far as possible, the use of Her Majesty's harbours, ports, and coasts, and the waters within Her Majesty's territorial jurisdiction, in aid of the warlike purposes of either belligerent, has commanded me to communicate to your Lordship, for your guidance, the following rules, which are to be treated and enforced as Her Majesty's orders and directions :-

‧

　　　　Her Majesty is pleased further to command that these rules shall be put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, on and after the twelfth day of this month, and in Her Majesty's territories and possessions beyond the seas, six days after the day when the Governor, or other chief authority of each of such territories or possessions, respectively, shall have notified and published the same; stating in such Notification that the said rules are to be obeyed by all persons within the same territories and possessions.

any

warlike purpose,

　　　　　　　purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining any facilities for warlike equipment; and no ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or waters subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war or a merchant ship) shall have previously departed, until after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty.

2. If any ship of war of either belligerent shall, after the time when this Order shall be first notified and put in force in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, and in the several colonies and foreign possessions and dependencies of Her Majesty, respectively, enter any port, roadstead, or waters belonging to Her Majesty, either in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, such vessel shall be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-four hours after her entrance into such port, roadstead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of which cases the authorities of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting her to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary for her immediate use; and no such vessel which may have been allowed to remain within British waters for the purpose of repair shall continue in any such port, roadstead, or waters, for a longer period than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs shall have been completed. Provided, nevertheless, that in all cases in which there shall be any vessel (whether ships of war or merchant ships) of the said belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than twenty- four hours between the departure therefrom of any such vessel (whether a ship of war or merchant ship) of the one belligerent, and the subsequent departure therefrom of any ship of war of the other belligerent; and the time hereby limited for the departure of such ships of war respectively shall always, in case of necessity, be extended so far as may be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but no further or otherwise.

3. No ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted, while in any port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, to take in any supplies, except provisions and such other things as may be requisite for the subsistence of her crew, and except so much coal only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the nearest port of her own country, or to some nearer destination, and no coal shall again be supplied to any such ship of war in the same or any other port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, without special permission, until after the expiration of three months from the time when such coal may have been last supplied to her within British waters as aforesaid.

CHICHIJIMA.

(1686.) LEADING MARKS INTO FUTAMI KOU.

Information has been received from Lieutenant T. Arao through Captain T. Kurooka of H. I. M. S. Tsukuba, that a triangular shaped tripod mark, 21 feet high, painted white, has been erected on a side (200 feet high) of Maruyama opposite to Kaname-iwa, Futami kou. This mark's position is as follows:-

*----

.....

Angle subtended by Kuro-iwa's centre and Kaname-iwa's centre .38° 59' Angle subtended by Kaname-iwa's centre and Susaki north point......12° 51'

Note: The beacon in line (east) with a white painted patch of Kaname-iwa leads midway between Horton shoal and South shoal.

A CHANNEL EASTWARD OF KANAME-IWA.

　　　With reference to Notice to Mariners No. 620 (1630) of 1894, the same Lieutenant reports that, there is an easy boat passage more close to Kaname-iwa between this rock and the main land eastward of it.

(1688.) PALOS HARBOUR. AMENDMENT TO POSITION OF DOUBTFUL

REEF. EXISTENCE OF NEW REEF.

Information has been received from Captain K. Miyoshi of H. I. M. S. Tsukushi dated 25 May, 1894, that,-

1. According to the examination made by Lieutenant K. Inchi I. N., the doubtful reef off East point, Palos harbour, marked on the Naval chart No. 74, does not exist, but a rock which dries 7 or 8 feet at low water exists 50 yards W. by N. of the east point. Moreover, the fishermen of the locality state that there is no other reef except the new found rock, therefore it appears highly probable that this rock is identical with the former reef.

The doubtful reef has, therefore, been expunged from the Naval charts.

　　　2. The same Lieutenant reports that, a sunken reef exists off a pinnacle rock (70 feet high) near the southeast extremity of Guerin island.

This reef consists of three rocks, and dries about 6 feet at low water. Its approximate position is as follows:-

East extreme of Guerin island

..N.W. ...........N. W. W.

West entrance point of Palos harbour.... Note:-In entering Palos harbour steer north course for a small triangular rocky island (partially wooded) near the head of the harbour, and anchor as convenient inside the harbour.

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 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.

And whereas by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, it is enacted that "where Her Majesty has power, under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, or any Act passed or hereafter to be passed amending "the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time to make "such Order in Council, and by Order in Council to revoke, alter, or add to any Order so made":

　　　And whereas it was made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships now in force under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," had been adopted by the Royal Norwegian Government, and came into force in Norway on the 1st day of April, 1876:

And whereas by Order in Council dated the 17th day of May, 1876, and by Order in Council dated the 2nd day of February, 1884, which revoked the last recited Order, Her Majesty was pleased by and with the advice of Her Privy Council to direct that, subject to certain provisos therein contained, the Merchant Ships belonging to the Kingdom of Norway the measurement of which had been ascertained and denoted on the Registers or other National papers of such ships should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers or other National papers in the same manner, to the same extent and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the Tonnage denoted in the Certificates of Registry of British Ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships:

　　　And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that a new Royal Ordinance, which came into operation on the 1st day of October, 1893, stipulates that the Certificates of Tonnage of Norwegian Steamships may show the net tonnage calculated according to British rules:

　　　And whereas it has been made to appear desirable to Her Majesty that the provisions of the said recited Order in Council of the 2nd day of February, 1884, should be revoked and a new Order in Council made and substituted in lieu thereof:

　　　NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, in virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said recited Acts, and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to direct that the said recited Order of the 2nd day of February, 1884, shall be, and the same is hereby revoked, and in lieu thereof and in substitution therefor, Her Majesty is hereby pleased by and with the advice of Her Privy Council to direct that the ships of Norway the Certificates of Norwegian nationality and registry of which are dated on and after the said 1st day of October, 1893, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said Certificates of Norwegian nationality and registry.

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 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.

4. No parcel will be accepted for transmission by Peak Parcel Post unless the postage is prepaid by means of ordinary adhesive postage stamps which must be affixed by the sender himself.

5. Parcels for the Peak must be taken into the General Post Office and handed in over the registration counter facing Queen's Road. Parcels from the Peak must be handed in at the Office at the upper terminus of the Hongkong High Level Tramways Company, Limited.

Whereas the Provincial Authorities have placed torpedoes in the Min River, NOTICE is hereby given that the star- board side of the TORPEDO CHANNEL, entering from the sea, is marked by a line of sampans which fly a red flag by day and show a bright light by night.

Vessels should pass between these sampans and Salamis Island, Men are appointed to board ships to pilot them through the passage, for which purpose shipmasters should slow down before reaching TEMPLE ROCK BUOY, coming in, and at KUAN TOW going out.

　　　　N.B.-These Marks and Pilots are under the separate control of the Chinese Local Authorities. Shipmasters must be doubly cautious to guard against any want of accuracy in the statement of the positions of the Marks or want of ability ou the part of the men who pilot.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH SEPTEMBER, 1894.

No. 8 of 1894.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, for the Summary Resumption of certain Crown Lands situate in the Taipingshan District of the City of Victoria and for other purposes.

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

[26th September, 1894.]

HEREAS the Crown Leases of lands in this Colony usually provide that the lands thereby demised may be resumed by the Crown if required for the improvement of the Colony or for any other public purposes on three months' notice being given and upon payment of full and fair com- pensation to be assessed by the Director of Public Works. And whereas if such assessment is not satisfactory there is no means of obtaining possession of the land cept by suit at law. And whereas by The Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889, it is provided that whenever the Governor in Council decides that the resumption of any land is expe- dient in the interest of the public, it shall be lawful for the Governor to enter into private negotiations with the owner of such land for the purchase thereof, and upon failure of such negotiations to give written notice that such lands will be resumed upon the expiration of four months from publication of such notice. And whereas the Colony and especially the Taipingshan District of the City of Victoria has recently been visited by a formidable epidemic disease known as the Bubonic Plague.

And whereas certain portions of the said district have been found to be in a highly insanitary condition and the inhabitants thereof have, by the orders of the Sanitary Board, been removed therefrom, the houses closed and the streets and approaches thereto blocked up. And whereas it is expedient for the prevention of such visitation in the future and for the improvement of the Colony that the houses or some of them in the said portions of the said Taipingshan District should be pulled down and destroyed and that the area or a portion thereof should be laid out afresh and redrained. And whereas the procedure under the terms of the Crown Leases is unsatisfactory and one-sided and may lead to protracted law suits, and the procedure under The Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889, involves protracted negotiations and long delays and both procedures are unsuitable to the urgency of the case.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Taipingshan Resumption Ordinance, 1894.

2. In this Ordinance, unless the context otherwise re- quires,-

(1) Court means the Supreme Court of Hongkong. (2) The Crown means Her Majesty, Her Heirs and

Successors.

by-lane, or square.

(5) Owner includes all Crown lessees, assignces of the whole or any portion, section, or sub-section of any lot, mortgagees in possession and trustees in whose names any land resumed under this Or- dinance stands registered in the Land Office of this Colony.

10. For the purposes of arbitration the Board shall have the following powers :-

(3) All such powers as are now or may be hereafter vested in the Court of the Colony or in any Judge thereof on the occasion of any suit or action in respect of the following matters :-
