The following report by Surgeon-Major WESTCOTT, A.M.S., on the subject of the existence of Plague in Tung Kun is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th January, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

(From Surgeon-Major S. Westcott, A.M.S., to The Colonial Secretary, Hongkong.)

HONGKONG, 7th January, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to report that I proceeded to Tung Kun on the 27th ultimo to investigate the disease stated to be prevalent there.

I was accompanied from Canton by Mr. F. S. A. BOURNE, the Vice-Consul at that port. At Tung Kun on the 31st December, I interviewed Dr. KUHNE of the Rhenish Mission, who had been resident at the Mission Hospital for the last seven years, and he informed me

A

1. That the Chinese Doctor at Shek Lung, a large town on the East river, 8 miles N. W. of Tung Kun, was at Tung Kun on the 29th November, 1894, and reported that he had heard about several cases of plague in Shek Lung, and that he had had one case under his own treatment which died in 3 days, the axillary glands being affected.

2. That he had heard from his Chinese teacher that in Tung Kun on the 3rd December a boy 10 years old came to the Hospital grounds from the country to see some friends, and in the evening he became ill and died on the following night from high temperature and syncope. His grandmother, living in the same house, became ill 6 days afterwards, and on the second day of the disease, she sent to borrow Dr. KUHNE'S clinical thermo- meter, which, on return, registered 102°; she died on the third day and her family circulated a report that the Doctor's thermometer had caused her axillary glands to

swell.

3. That on the afternoon of the 10th December a Chinaman was selling sugar and water in

the streets, and in the evening he was dead of "season disease."

4. That in one street near the N. gate six people in one family died at about the same date. 5. That he (Dr. KUHNE) had noticed that many rats died in the Hospital premises two

months ago.

6. That on the 16th December the scavenger reported that 30 coffins passed one of the gates.

in one day.

Dr. KUHNE being unable to give any evidence of the existence of plague at the present time, kindly placed his Chinese Medical Assistant, and Chinese Teacher, (who is also a medical practitioner in the town) at my disposal, and I sent these men and also the native of the town, who was sent from

- Hongkong with me, to try to discover if the inhabitants were dying in unusual numbers from any disease, and I offered a reward of $10 to any one who would show me a case of plague in any stage, or a body dead of the disease. They reported next day that they were unable to discover any case, and that no unusual sickness prevailed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH JANUARY, 1895.

   In the meantime I called on several native doctors in different parts of the town, and sent for others to come to me, and their evidence was to the effect that there had been some cases of bubonic plague during the last 6 weeks, but that the latest they had heard of occurred about 10 days ago; they could not take me to see a case, but were willing to keep any affected person, who might consult them at their dispensaries, for me to see, if I would wait in the neighbourhood, and pay for a coffin should the patient die after seeing me.

   In consequence of the report from Shek Lung, I visited that town with Dr. KUHNE, Mr. BOURNE and Interpreter QUINCEY. At the place of embarkation on the N. of the town, I was an object of interest to the crowd of boatmen, &c.; they were evidently inspired by some fear, as one of them shouted-"Don't go too near, as he will drag you to him, and cut you in two," this being the treatment accorded to their countrymen by the foreign doctors in Hongkong, according to pamphlets circulated in this and other towns, during the epidemic in Hongkong.

   At Shek Lung, a large, dirty, and overcrowded town, we were followed by a large crowd, principally of yelling children, and the demeanour of the inhabitants was sullen and unfriendly.

   On arrival at the house of Dr. MAK, the children were kept outside, but the men followed us .in, and insisted on remaining during the interview.

Dr. MAK, a Christian Chinese medical practitioner who was for 6 years First Assistant to Dr. KERR at the Mission Hospital at Canton, informed us that the case he had reported to Dr. KUHNE, was the only one he had had personal knowledge of, but that he heard that it still prevailed, and here he consulted his friends among the crowd, and stated that they were of the same opinion; but on going more deeply into this evidence, I concluded that it was of very little value, and I then offered a reward of $10 if any one would take Interpreter QUINCEY to see a case, but without result, so, as in the case of Tung Kun, I formed the opinion that it did not exist in epidemic form.

   I next made investigations along the delta from Tung Kun to Tai-ping-Hu, the last town on this route towards Hongkong, and found that plague did not exist. At Tai-ping-Hu, I learned that many persons returned from Hongkong during the epidemic and died, but they did not communicate the disease to others.

   At Canton and in Fatshan, a large town 10 miles S.W. of Canton, a few cases have been reported to exist by the intelligence officers of the Consulate as lately as 10 days ago, but no case can be discovered now.

The conclusions I draw from this enquiry are-

1. That there have been sporadic cases of the disease during November and part of December

in Canton, Fatshan, Shek Lung and Tung Kun.

2. That no cases have been found during the last fortnight by anybody.

3. That all those who reported the cases in December can find none now.

4. That it is evident that the poison lingers in the district, but whether it will again cause

an epidemic will depend on the sanitary surroundings and climatic conditions which it will encounter.

A

   The whole of the drains in Canton are cleaned every third year, and they have just been cleaned in accordance with this custom. The Chinese also attach much importance to the rain which has recently fallen, but it was evident after an inspection of the houses in the parts of Canton from which the greatest number of cases came last year, and of those in the other towns visited, that no reliance can be placed on their sanitary condition to ward off another epidemic should the other conditions be favourable.

   Many of the rumours of the prevalence of plague in various parts of the Province with which I dealt during my enquiry, on close investigation, have proved to be due to diseases other than plague, the confusion arising from the fact that the Chinese bave no specific nomenclature for bubonic plague, but employed the terms "Wen-yik" and "Shih-cheng" which embrace any suddenly fatal epidemic disease.

   In closing this report, I have the honour to bring to your notice the kind manner in which the mission was received by Dr. KUHNE and the great trouble he took to help us in every way.

   I also met with all possible help from Mr. BOURNE, the Vice-Consul at Canton; his knowledge of the country, people, and language enabled me to overcome many difficulties and to accomplish my mission in a very much shorter time than would otherwise have been necessary.

Interpreter W. QUINCEY was also a valuable assistant and displayed great intelligence and tact- in the performance of his duties.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Hongkong, 7th January, 1895.

MONDAY, January 14. 9-12.

    The land was more profitably farmed as pasture than as ploughland. The wool which was thus grown gave employment sooner or later to the manufactures, which would absorb the surplus agricultural population, and capital which was before hoarded found a profitable investment in land. So too the wholesale dealer in other goods was enabled to purchase in cheap markets, and to keep his goods till be could sell them well, thus increasing the national wealth and equalizing prices. But the commencement of the system which is now accepted universally, but which then seemed merely the triumph of selfishness, and which could not work fully because attended by many erroneous notions which laid restrictions on the freedom of trade, could not fail to be attended with much misery.

Notice has been given that, on or about the 3rd December, the Huquang Winter Channel was to be marked and lighted during Low Water as follows:--

1. The Huquang and W. C. de Vries rocks were each to be marked by a common black painted spar buoy.

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 the 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, was to 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-each pole carrying an ordinary white anchor light, will, when kept in a vertical line, lead clear of the W.

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, the Right Honourable John, Earl of Kimberley, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, &c., &c., Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs;

And His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Viscount Aoki Siuzo, Junii, first class of the Imperial Order of the Sacred Treasure, His Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of St. James';

If such owners or agents are not on the spot, the same shall be delivered to the respective Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, or Consular Agents upon being claimed by them within the period fixed by the laws of the country, and such Consular officers, owners, or agents shall pay only the expenses incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the salvage or other expenses which would have been payable in the case of a wreck of a national vessel.

ARTICLE XVI.

Each of the High Contracting Parties may appoint Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Pro- Consuls, and Consular Agents in all the ports, cities, and places of the other, except in those where it may not be convenient to recognize such officers.

 This exception, however, shall not be made in regard to one of the Contracting Parties without being made likewise in regard to every other Power.

 The Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Pro-Consuls, and Consular Agents may exercise all functions, and shall enjoy all privileges, exemptions, and immunities which are, or may hereafter be, granted to Consular officers of the most favoured nation.

When such incorporation takes place the existing leases in perpetuity under which property is now held in the said Settlements shall be confirmed, and no conditions whatsoever other than those contained in such existing leases shall be imposed in respect of such property.

Protocol signed at London, July 16, 1894.

  THE Government of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, and the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, deeming it advisable in the interests of both countries to regulate certain special matters of mutual concern, apart from the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation signed this day, have, through their respective Plenipotentiaries, agreed upon the following stipulations:-

1. It is agreed by the Contracting Parties that one month after the exchange of the ratifications of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation signed this day, the Import Tariff hereunto annexed shall, subject to the provisions of Article XXIII of the Treaty of 1858 at present subsisting between the Contracting Parties, as long as the said Treaty remains in force and thereafter, subject to the provisions of Articles V and XV of the Treaty signed this day, be applicable to the articles therein enumerated, being the growth, produce, or manufacture of the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, upon importation into Japan. But nothing contained in this Protocol, or the Tariff hereunto annexed, shall be held to limit or qualify the right of the Japanese Government to restrict or to prohibit the importation of adulterated drugs, medicines, food, or beverages; indecent or obscene prints, paintings, books, cards, lithographic or other engravings, photographs, or any other indecent or obscene articles; articles in violation of patent, trade-mark, or copyright laws of Japan; or any other article which for sanitary reasons, or in view of public security or morals, might offer any danger.

  The ad valorem duties established by the said Tariff shall, so far as may be deemed practicable, be converted into specific duties by a Supplementary Convention, which shall be concluded between the two Governments within six months from the date of this Protocol; the medium prices, as shown by the Japanese Customs Returns during the six calendar months preceding the date of the present Protocol, with the addition of the cost of insurance and transportation from the place of purchase, production, or fabrication, to the port of discharge, as well as commission, if any, shall be taken as the basis for such conversion. In the event of the Supplementary Convention not having come into force before the expiration of the period fixed for the said Tariff to take effect, ad valorem duties in conformity with the rule recited at the end of the said Tariff shall, in the meantime, be levied.

In respect of articles not enumerated in the said Tariff, the General Statutory Tariff of Japan for the time being in force shall, from the same time, apply, subject, as aforesaid, to the provisions of Article XXIII of the Treaty of 1858 and Articles V and XV of the Treaty signed this day respectively.

  From the date the Tariffs aforesaid take effect, the Import Tariff now in operation in Japan in respect of goods and merchandize imported into Japan by British subjects shall cease to be binding.

In all other respects the stipulations of the existing Treaties and Conventions shall be maintained unconditionally until the time when the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation signed this day comes into force.

  2. The Japanese Government, pending the opening of the country to British subjects, agrees to extend the existing passport system in such a manner as to allow British subjects, on the production of a certificate of recommendation from the British Representative in Tokio, or from any of Her Majesty's Consuls at the open ports in Japan, to obtain upon application passports available for any part of the country, and for any period not exceeding twelve months, from the Imperial Japanese Foreign Office in Tokio, or from the chief authorities in the Prefecture in which an open port is situated; it being understood that the existing Rules and Regulations governing British subjects who visit the interior of the Empire are to be maintained.

  3. The Japanese Government undertakes, before the cessation of British Consular jurisdiction in Japan, to join the International Conventions for the Protection of Industrial Property and Copyright.

any

4. It is understood between the two High Contracting Parties that, if Japan think it necessary at time to levy an additional duty on the production or manufacture of refined sugar in Japan, an increased customs duty equivalent in amount may be levied on British refined sugar when imported into Japan, so long as such additional excise tax or inland duty continues to be raised.

Provided always that British refined sugar shall in this respect be entitled to the treatment accorded

to refined sugar being the produce or manufacture of the most favoured nation.

5. The undersigned Plenipotentiaries have agreed that this Protocol shall be submitted to the two High Contracting Parties at the same time as the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation signed this day, and that when the said Treaty is ratified the agreements contained in the Protocol shall also equally be considered as approved, without the necessity of a further formal ratification.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH FEBRUARY, 1895.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1895.

  3. ATTENDANCE.-The minimum monthly attendance 85 in July contrasts sadly with the maximum 881 in April, which nearly equals the 890 of 1890. In the course of the year 403 boys were admitted, as against 308 in 1893; and of these, 56 entered in the second half of the year, as against 44 in the same period last year. This increased demand for admission, in spite even of an epidemic, may be viewed as an indication, that this college has not suffered in reputation.

  4. FINANCES.-It is specially disappointing to note the low figure, at which Revenue derivable from Fees stands. I have already reported to the Treasury that, in view of the $700 actual gain in the first five months of the year, and of the increased admissions above alluded to, there is no exaggeration in assuming $1,200 as the total increase, and $13,500 as the total revenue, that might naturally have been expected, had it not been for the Plague. The total loss in Fees due to this cause cannot be taken at less than $2,000, of which $1,181 is accounted for, by the amount remitted to boys, who were absent in the months of June and July, having left the Colony with their families, in the scare naturally engendered by the Plague. The balance, $800, may be attributed to the fees of six months unpaid by about 100 boys, who are in excess of the number of absentees in the corresponding months of last year. With a heavy loss of revenue and a terrible reduction in attendance, as observable in the fifth column, it is not a matter for surprise, that the Average Expense in the tenth column should appear disproportionate. The Table at the end of this report contains two additional items of expenditure, viz: Adjustment of Exchange in Crown Agents' Account, and Exchange Compensation paid to three masters, who accepted three shillings exchange for the dollar when on leave; these account for the increase in expenditure observable on last year.

5. BUBONIC PLAGUE.-On the 1st May, the absentee list, in accordance with normal conditions, was under 4% of the number on the monthly roll; but on account of the outbreak of the Plague over 42% were absent on June 1st, and on July 1st 96.5% were absent, exactly inverting the percentages of two months previously, when that was the precentage of attendance. From the end of May, the non-Chinese scholars, nearly to a boy, absented themselves; two little English boys in the Preparatory School were a bright exception, coming regularly till the College was closed. Of the Chinese boys, the Upper School boys deserve the most credit for regular attendance; for some time, the First Class formed the bulk of the total College attendance. As daily, dead bodies were carried out of streets in the vicinity of the College, and the smoke and smell of burning stuff, refuse from plague-stricken houses, were borne into the building from a spot not 50 ft. distant, the gradual nature of the exodus deserves praise rather than censure. It is difficult to ascertain with precision, how many of our boys succumbed to this disease. Eight deaths have been reported as due to this cause. Early in June two of our boys, living in quite different parts of the town, suddenly died of plague. So Man-chau was in school on Saturday, the 2nd, and reported dead and buried on Monday the 4th; on the same Monday, Leung Shi-chak was removed to hospital, and reported dead on the following day. As a consequence, 280 boys left, in the course of the week, and 120 more, before the close of the month. With rare exceptions, the boys observed the usual formalities, bringing their parents or guardians to apply for leave. On the 14th July, there were 48 boys for the 21 class-rooms instead of 832 as in May. His Excellency the Governor, under the circumstances permitted the vacation to begin a fortnight earlier than usual.

6. On re-opening on the 3rd September, 557 boys returned and by the end of the month, this number had risen to 625, not counting 37 boys newly admitted. I attribute this satisfactory return, of so large a number of boys, to the Governor's kind consideration, in remitting on account of the Plague, the arrears of fees due from boys who were absent in the months of June and July; for there can be no doubt that otherwise a considerable number would have stayed away on account of inability to pay such large lump sums as $12, $8 &c. As it is, 235 names were missing between May and September, as against 109 last year or an extra loss of 126 boys in the summer of 1894.

7. RETRENCHMENT.-Experience, as observable in connexion with the formation of a new department, or the extension of an old one, has shown that the expenses grow, in the first few years, to a considerable extent in excess of the original estimate. It is therefore to the credit of Dr. STEWART and Dr. ErTEL that their approval of my estimate in 1887 of the number of officers, and items of expenditure, required for the New Building has in no particular been subject to increase; for we cannot take into account, the general increase of 35% and 20% to the Civil Service, nor the item, English Books, where fall in silver has necessitated further adjustment; neither of which events could possibly have been foreseen. The Colonial Treasurer in his evidence before the Retrenchment Committee, said (p. 127) "When men become trained in Treasury work, they become very valuable. If a rush of prosperity comes to the Colony, several of my staff, some of whom are really intelligent men, may leave me at once for better pay" and this sentiment was echoed by other Heads of Department. The same argument applies with greater force to the trained Chinese Assistants of this establishment; if they continue to be underpaid, the old experience of their departure, when their services are most valuable, will again be felt. The onus of showing, that younger and more incompetent Chinese are suitable to be teachers of English, in fourteen of the twenty-one classes of this College, falls on those who dispute my position, which is, that Chinese teachers of ages ranging from 25 to 40, competent to teach a variety of English subjects, surely deserve higher salaries than young Chinese clerks five and ten years their junior, who are only required to copy or translate documents. It has however gravely been suggested to reduce the salaries of these masters which are already lower than those of copying clerks; this would certainly reduce expenditure, but render any chance of maintaining efficiency hopeless.

  8. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.-Dr. GUSTAV OPPERT, Professor at Madras University, and Dr. DENNYS, Protector of Chinese in British North Borneo, both paid a visit and expressed great interest in the education given here. The latter paid us the highest compliment, by selecting after competitive examination, a First Class boy to accompany him back to Borneo, as clerk and interpreter in his own Department.

"

9. CHANGE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COLLEGE.-On the 3rd September I received notice "that the Secretary of State had decided that all connection with the Education Department and Queen's College should cease, and that the College should be placed under the management of a Governing Body.' This was supplemented on the 6th December, by an explanation conveyed in an extract from the Secretary of State's Despatch, viz: "The change which is now being initiated has been devised in Dr. WRIGHT'S Own interests, as well as those of the school. It is an alternative to the existing system, which has been found to be unsatisfactory."

  10. NON-CHINESE CLASSES.-It was a pleasure to me to observe that the Retrenchment Committee (par. 136) share my opinion, that it is the duty of the College to make special provision for the education of such English and other non-Chinese boys as wish to enter. Two classes have been specially formed for their benefit, under the charge of English masters; but it will be only possible to maintain these, if the number of pupils does not fall below a minimum of 60 for the two classes combined. It rests therefore entirely with the parents to show their appreciation of the advantages specially devised for them. One well-known Government Official, by sending his two sons here, has broken through the prejudice, with which we have always had to contend viz: that the preponderance of Chinese scholars renders this place unsuitable for boys of other nationalities. In this connexion however it is not to be forgotten, that there is hardly a school in the Colony but has at length admitted Chinese, after starting with exclusively non-Chinese pupils. The two classes, above spoken of, are for convenience called from the position of their class-rooms, Class Ic. and IIc, but this gives an inaccurate impression of the standard of work. Each of these classes is divided into two sections. In Class Ic, only one boy took the papers of Class IA, the remainder of the Senior Section taking those of IB; while the Junior Section found Class II papers sufficiently difficult. Class IIc, took History, Geography and Composition with Class III, and the Seniors also worked Euclid and Algebra papers prepared for the same class; but in Arithmetic and Grammar, the Senior Section sat with Class IV, and the Junior with Class V. As a compensation for the time spent in Chinese by other classes, these two take Latin. To remove any misconception, and as an act of justice to the masters concerned, I have, this year, kept the four sections of the non-Chinese classes separate, distinguishing them as N1, N2, N3, N4. I must not omit to mention, that His Excellency the Governor has shown his sympathy with this movement, by relieving the Master in charge of the Senior Non-Chinese Class, Mr. MACHELL, of further study of Chinese, that he may devote himself more completely to developing this branch of the College, and continue without overstrain to himself to superintend the athletics of these boys.

11. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.-We paid 18 fees, but only 15 boys presented themselves, of whom eight obtained certificates, viz: three Seniors under 19 years of age, and five Juniors over 16 years of age. Of Special Subjects, 1 boy passed in Bookkeeping, 2 in Drawing, 2 in Physiography and 1 in Trigonometry. U HANG-KAM, who headed the Senior List in this place, was marked Good in Arithmetic, Shakespeare and Algebra; and FOK CHI-YAN, who took the same position amongst the Juniors, obtained the same mark in Arithmetic and Shakespeare. Of the eight boys who obtained Certificates, 4 were marked Good in Arithmetic, 4 in Shakespeare, 2 in Geography and 1 in Algebra. Taken as a whole the result is very satisfactory, the percentage of passes as compared with last year being 53: 58. There is a marked improvement in the work of the non-Chinese boys, though the Chinese still lead.

   12. ANGLO-CHINESE CLASS.-The number of boys examined in these divisions dwindled from 58 in 1889 to 12 in 1893. When then in March last I found only two boys presenting themselves to form a class, I first enquired of the parents the cause of their sons' absence. and then reported to the Government the extinction of the Anglo-Chinese Class. The reasons alleged by the parents appeared to be valid, and may be classified in the following manner, (1) several boys are under ten years of age, and it is objected that the study of Chinese, in addition to English is too severe a strain; (2) others profess to attend classes for improvement in their own languages, Portuguese, Arabic &c; (3) others live out at East Point, and find it impossible or unhealthy to remain from 8 A.M. till 5 P.M. without a solid meal. Of the 103 non-Chinese boys on the Roll, 71 are in the Upper School and therefore exempted by Government Order, there remain then 32 to form the Anglo-Chinese Class, but 20 of these are about 8 or 9 years of age.

13. THE STAFF.-I am happy to report an exceptionally good Bill of Health. Mr. MAY, the Second Master, went on leave in April, after the completion of six years' service, and Mr. DEALY is acting for him, proving a very energetic and satisfactory substitute. Mr. BARLOW also went on leave, on a plea of urgent private affairs. Mr. JONES was temporarily transferred to the Magistracy, as Acting First Clerk. We were therefore, for eight months, short of the services of three masters. consequent necessary changes put the First Chinese Assistant in charge of the Preparatory School, Mr. WAN of Class IIB, the highest Upper School Class yet entrusted to a Chinese Assistant, and deprived one of the Lower School Classes of the advantage of an English Master, a luxury we can

 only afford when the complete English Staff is on duty. Of the Chinese Assistants, four were employed in the Upper School, instead of two, as last year. Messrs. LUK, WAN, NG and LEUNG were in charge of Classes IIIA, IIB, IIIc, and III?, respectively, and their percentages, 89, 88, 92 and 92, compare very favourably with the average results of this year. My recommendation of increased salaries for Chinese Assistants is thus strongly supported by further experience.

   14. HALF-YEARLY EXAMINATIONS.-In 1894, for the second year running this important factor in the general success of the year was forcibly held in abeyance, on account of the general exodus from the Colony. A considerable proportion of the failures among boys educationally weak, is due to the absence of this check and its attendant advice.

?

   15. RECREATION.-Drill still continues, but unless it can be put in charge of a duly qualified instructor, it not only entails waste of time and money, but as conducted last year is positively prejudicial to the maintenance of discipline. The following report from Mr. MACHELL on Recreation may prove of interest.

"The sports have developed an organisation, that bids fair to stand. Boys now play "regularly and heartily, who looked askance at athletics two years ago. The Cricket team of masters and boys is thus far undefeated. Football as played in the College "grounds is an expensive amusement; three balls are used up monthly, though diligently "repaired and well kept. For a month prior to commencement of Annual Examination, "the verandahs of Hollywood Crescent and the space outside the lower West Gate were "thronged with spectators of the 4 to 5 P.M. games. Lost balls were kicked back with "a zest which produced great merriment when a too zealous coolie unwisely kicked "squarely at the ball with his bare toes. There are two or three privately owned "cricket sets and at least three independent football owners. These occupy the lower "ground during the longer periods of recess &c. No accident has marred play, though The drill has been very "keen rivalry exists between the first and second teams. "unsatisfactory. A broken succession of tactless and incompetent instructors wearied "the boys beyond measure, and they were only kept from openly resenting the tiresome "bungling by my frequent presence at and personal conduct of the drill. The Cadet "Section is kept up. Their uniform 'is only fitted for summer wear. Five of the

"Queen's College Cadets are now Volunteers. The formation of a Chinese Cadet Corps "was, owing to the Plague and the resulting lee-way in class-work, out of the question. "The entire question of recreation is beset with difficulties. The College grounds are "fairly large but sharply and strongly marked off into Southern, Central and Northern "areas respectively. Football and Cricket are possible only in the Northern area, and "then only at a costly expenditure of material. The Valley is distant (a serious matter "when time is short and many of the boys poor) and no proper site can be uninterruptedly "used. Bowrington Plantation will provide sites shortly, but the distance must always prove a drawback. Where one master only organises and regularly attends sports it "is very uphill work. The mere playing, on invitation, in an important match, is "kindly but useless from any sustaining and developing standpoint."

   16. ANNUAL EXAMINATION.-Two courses were open to me, in conducting the examination this year.

    Either to set easier papers, and report that this course was adopted on account of the disorganised year's work; or to adhere to the usual severe standard, and claim lenient judgment on the same plea. I preferred the latter course, in the interests of comparative statistics, which would become valueless with an uncertain standard. The total number examined was 587, of whom 520 or 83 per cent. passed, i.e. a loss of 5 per cent. on last year, though in 1894 we had only three-quarters of a school year; a result which cannot be viewed as despicable. The three sections of the College are thus represented :-

From the above figures it is clear, that the Lower School has suffered most, and this was reasonably to be expected. As I have above reported, the Upper School was more steady in attendance during the Plague while the Preparatory, being usually examined on a half-year's work, was not much affected by that calamity. With the exception of Arithmetic, Geography and History, the general percentages of subjects are fairly up to the mark. The figures obtained in Colloquial, Reading and Latin exceed last year's. The fatally small percentages in some classes in a few subjects is the result of the presence of idly disposed or less mentally robust scholars, who naturally found it more difficult to recover lost time. I think that the masters deserve credit for their steady application in the face of peculiarly depressing circumstances, while some of them are entitled to special commendation for results hardly inferior to the average year.

18. REMARKS ON INDIVIDUAL SUBJECTS.

   Reading. Some advance even on last year. An attempt to develop better modulation of the voice, in all classes including non-Chinese would produce further improvement.

Colloquial.-Highly creditable; the conyersation in the topmost classes ranging freely over a variety of unforeseen topics surprised me by the amount of intelligence displayed in the answers, and knowledge of general subjects outside the class routine.

Dictation.-Fairly up to the average. Considerable improvement in Ia.

   Composition.-Excellent results. Considerable acquaintance with English idiom is manifested. More drilling however is required, as good papers are often marred by careless mistakes, which the writers themselves should be capable of correcting.

   Grammar.-Makes but a poor show. I gather from the mistakes in parsing and analysis, thas masters do not generally pursue the healthy custom of drawing attention to grammatical difficultits that occur in the course of a reading lesson. These impromptu studies in grammar are the mote impressive and effective that can be given.

History-Generally very good. In the three sections of Class III there was too great evidence of memoriter work, which probably accounts for the poverty of the answers, which were largely unconnected with the questions.

Arithmetic.-Generally very weak.

Algebra.-Considerable improvement in the three sections of the First Class, and excellent work

in III. B.C.

Euclid.-Excellent in IIA; still terribly poor among non-Chinese,

Geography.-Poor results in all, but the five sections of the first two classes. Shakespeare.-Admirable work on a paper perhaps stiffer than last year.

Translations from and into Chinese.-Maintain their average good standard.

   Latin. Taking into account the shortness of the school-year the papers of all three sections deserve very considerable praise. In N1, N2 the translations from Casar and parsing are weak. I also fail to understand, why boys in N3. after one year's study should have a better knowledge of the use of case, than boys in N2. after two years' work. However the failure of last year in this subject is amply atoned for by the progress observable in 1894.

Book-Keeping.-Taken by Mr. JAMESON, in the absence of Mr. BARLOW, is quite equal to last

year's work.

General Intelligence.-Universal collapse, with the exception of Ia.

   Chemistry.-Had to be omitted from examination, as irregular attendance utterly marred the prospect of success in a weekly subject which requires steady application.

Mensuration.-One boy took this subject with Latin as substitutes for Translation papers from and into Chinese to enable him to compete for the Morrison Scholarship, in IA. He did a very good paper; and was only 62 marks behind the total 1303 (out of 1500) obtained by the successful

  The following Report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 26th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th February, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

-

No. 57.

VICTORIA GAOL, SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 28th January, 1895.

  SIR,-I have the honour to forward for the information of His Excellency the Governor the Annual Report on the Victoria Gaol for 1894.

2. The total number of admissions was 3,913 of which number 753 had been previously convicted. The number of old offenders admitted during the last two years is nearly 49 per cent. less than in 1892.

  3. The daily average number confined in the Gaol was 455 as compared with 458 in 1893. During the months of July, August and September, the daily average number of prisoners was greatly reduced owing to the effect on the Colony of the epidemic of bubonic plague. The numbers for those three months were 401, 398 and 404 respectively. The lowest number in Gaol on any one day was 373 on the 11th August, but as the epidemic disappeared the number increased till the daily total reached 539 on the 10th December.

  4. There were 5,120 offences against prison discipline committed during the year being 11.27 offences to each prisoner as compared with 11.15 in 1893.

5. The sanitary state of the Gaol was good. There were 3 cases of bubonic plague, the first case being noticed on the 21st May. The prisoner who was discharged on the afternoon of that day had been 2 days in Gaol. In the second case the prisoner was admitted to Gaol on the 5th June, In the third case the prisoner was admitted to hospital on the 8th and was released on the 14th June.

was admitted to Gaol on the 12th June, was admitted to hospital on the 20th and was released on the 21st June. The Gaol Medical Officer informs me that he is of opinion that in no case was the disease contracted in the Gaol. All prisoners were subjected to a searching medical examination on admission before they were told off to cells and every precaution was taken to prevent the disease from spreading. 6. Attention has been directed during the year to the very large number of prisoners on light labour by order of the Medical Officer. The daily average number of these prisoners was 105 or about 23 per cent. of the prisoners in Gaol. This is a very large proportion and under such conditions the Gaol becomes an asylum.

?

7. The amount paid into the Treasury during the year on account of industrial labour was $383.33 less than in 1893. This is due to the decreased profit on the oakum sold owing to the further increased cost of paper stuff.

8. The daily average number of females was 14. The want of proper accommodation for female prisoners has been severely felt.

9. The record of casualties in the staff shows that 48 third class Turnkeys, 4 second class Guards and 1 Nurse of the Female Prison joined during the year; 1 second class and 22 third class Turnkeys and 1 second class Guard were dismissed for misconduct; 2 third class Turnkeys deserted and the services of 7 third class Turnkeys were dispensed with being found useless; 2 second class and 9 third class Turnkeys, 1 first class and 1 second class Guard and 1 Nurse of the feinale prison resigned their appointments; I first class Turnkey was invalided; 1 third class Turnkey and 1 Indian Sergeant were pensioned; 1 third class Turnkey was transferred to the Sanitary Department; 2 second class and 4 third class Turnkeys were promoted to the rank of first and second class Turnkeys respectively and 1 second class Guard died.

 10. These figures I submit speak for themselves and clearly show how extremely unsatisfactory the condition of the staff was during the year and the necessity for placing it on a better footing without further delay. I was again obliged to ask for the services of some men of the garrison to act as turnkeys, but latterly I have been successful in obtaining a far superior class of men to fill the vacancies. I am glad to be able to report that this perpetual weeding out of the staff has been attended with good results and that the conduct of those serving at the end of the year has been generally satisfactory.

 11. The Warden J. JONES retired on a pension on the 1st August. He was an energetic and conscientious officer and served in the prison service for 21 years.

12. During the year I have reported fully as to the improvements which should be made in the Gaol. If my recommendations be approved I trust that by the close of the present year the yard space in the male prison will be increased and that proper accommodation will be provided for female prisoners.

13. I forward herewith the usual returns.

The Honourable

THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

H. B. LETHBRIDGE, Superintendent.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 75.

  The following Report by Messrs. CoODE SON & MATTHEWS on the Gap Rock Lighthouse, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 26th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th February, 1895.

GAP ROCK LIGHTHOUSE.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG, 10th January, 1895.

  SIR, On the 21st November last, Mr. MATTHEWS, who was at that time engaged on professional business at Colombo, was informed by the Colonial Secretary of Ceylon that His Excellency the Governor of that Colony, had received a cablegram from His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, enquiring if he (Mr. MATTHEWS) could visit the last named Colony for the purpose of inspecting the Gap Rock Lighthouse.

  2. Upon subsequently ascertaining that such an investigation would be practicable, having regard to other engagements previously fixed in the Cape Colony, Mr. MATTHEWS left, Colombo on 19th ultimo, arriving at Hongkong on 1st instant, where he was met by the Director of Public Works, who kindly furnished plans and reports giving full particulars of the Gap Rock Lighthouse and the works in connection therewith.

  3. Inspection of Gap Rock.-After perusing the last named papers Mr. MATTHEWS, accompanied by the Director of Public Works and the Harbour Master, visited the Gap Rock on 3rd instant, and very carefully examined the existing Tower with its lantern and apparatus, and also the European and Chinese Quarters. The peculiar configuration of the Rock with the Gap on the east and on the west faces was particularly noted as also the spur on the south-east end of the Rock and the effect of the same considered in the concentration of the sea and the diversion of the waves into the eastern gap during typhoon periods.

  4. Instructions for Report.-On 5th instant we received from you definite instructions relative to the points upon which our opinion is more particularly requested. These are-

(i) As to the establishment of a permanent lighthouse on the Gap Rock, having due regard

to the practicability of retaining, as far as possible, the existing buildings.

(ii) As to efficiently maintaining such buildings and the light, including staff and service

between Hongkong and the Gap Rock.

  5. General description of Rock, Lighthouse and Buildings.-Gap Rock is about 30 miles south- west of Hongkong. The centre of the Rock runs about north-east and south-west and is 440 feet in length in this direction. About midway there is a gap on either side of the centre, the inner ends of which converge until at the connecting ridge between the northern and southern portions the Rock is only 10 feet, or thereabouts, in width. The axis of the southern patch exten Is north-west and south-east and is 480 feet across in this direction. This section of the Rock consists of a mass rising to a height of 94 feet 6 inches above mean sea level, flanked on the south-east side by a spur of 220 feet in length. The north-east face of this spur is practically vertical for a height of 35 feet, whilst the adjacent face of the gap rises 75 feet, in a horizontal width of 50 feet. It follows from this extremely unfavourable configuration of the eastern gap and spur of rock that any seas from north- east around to south-east are concentrated into a funnel-shaped cavity, thereby intensifying even the abnormally severe waves which are associated with the occurrence of typhoons.

  6. The northern portion of the Rock is of much more favourable shape, being practically circular and of 280 feet in diameter at its base. It rises to 74 feet 6 inches above mean sea level, where there is a flat area of 100 feet by 80 feet. A small section of this Rock, at the northern portion of the plateau, rises to a further height of 10 feet.

  7. The gap on the western face between the two sections of the Rock is less exposed than that on the eastern side and is of a much more favourable shape. We do not therefore apprehend that any damage would arise to the Lighthouse and Buildings in consequence of the existence of this gap.

8. The landing place has been rightly fixed on the western face which is generally the side on which most shelter is to be found.

  9. The Lighthouse and Quarters for the Keepers, both European and Chinese, have been erected on the crest of the southern portion of the Rock, the Tower being about 60 feet from the eastern gap, to the exposure of which we have alluded.

10. The whole of the buildings are of brickwork faced with granite. They consist mainly of a Light Tower 32 feet 6 inches in height flanked by the European Quarters. This last named structure is of oblong form 38 feet in length, 18 feet in breadth, and 30 feet in height. It contains a base- ment having store and water tank, these being surmounted by two floors for the accommodation

J

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1895.

153

of the Keepers. Northward of this last named block and connected therewith by a short passage, a further building has been erected for use by the Chinese Assistant Keepers and by the Telegraph Clerk. This structure is also of rectangular shape and measures 43 feet 6 inches in length, 20 feet 9 inches in width, and 22 feet in height.

11. The lantern and apparatus were prepared by Messrs. CHANCE BROTHERS, the former has flat glass and is not, in our opinion, of so good a form as the helical frame lantern with circular glazing, which has been adopted by the Trinity House. We may, however, observe, in this connection, that had the circular glazing been adopted, we are of opinion that the damage which was caused by the Typhoon of October 1893 would not have been averted. The apparatus is of the usual form for a light of this character. It is of the first order, dioptric, giving a flashing light at half minute intervals. The focal plane is 141 feet 8 inches above mean sea level and the light is visible, in clear weather about 20 miles.

12. The light was first shown in the early part of April 1892, and has since been continuously exhibited with the exception of one night, viz., on 2nd October, 1893, after the typhoon which caused the damage.

13. The cost of the Lighthouse, buildings, apparatus, etc., complete, exclusive of the expenditure incurred in the purchase of the attendant tug Fame, was $145,000.

14. Importance of Light.--The light on the Gap Rock is an extremely important one in the interests of navigation. It is "made" by vessels approaching Hongkong from the South, and also indicates the position of the islands and rocks to vessels leaving the Port southward. It is evident from a perusal of the papers that Gap Rock was decided upon as the best position for the light only after the most mature deliberation, strong reasons for fixing on this Rock for the then proposed lighthouse will be found in the letters from Commodore MORANT, R.N., and the Surveyor General, dated respectively 30th September and 20th November, 1886. Although therefore the Gap is unquestionably a most exposed site for a lighthouse and the configuration of the Rock, as we have pointed out, is unfavourable, still it would appear highly undesirable to remove the light to a less exposed position, in view of the strong reasons which were given in favour of erection on its present site, putting aside the prolonged negotiations which had to be conducted with the Chinese Government before the present position was definitely fixed, and which would have to be re-opened were it decided to remove the light to one of the larger adjacent islands.

15. Damage caused by typhoon of October 1833.-The Director of the Hongkong Observatory in a letter dated 20th October, 1893, pointed out that it was blowing with typhoon force at the Gap Rock from the morning of 2nd October, until the early morning hours on the 3rd, also that the typhoon was one of exceptional severity at the Gap and that the disaster was greatly intensified by the unusually great length of time the blow lasted. It would also appear from this letter that the Gap Rock lies very near the track of the worst typhoons that have been felt in the Colony.

 16. We have been informed by Mr. CHARLES NICHOLAS, the Senior Keeper, who was on the Rock when the typhoon occurred, that the chief damage was caused about noon on 2nd October; this consisted mainly in the breaking of four panes of lantern glass,inch in thickness, on the east side, three centre panels of the apparatus destroyed and one damaged; one upper panel of prisms broken and others slightly damaged, three bottom panels of prisms slightly fractured. Sundry damage was occasioned to the doors, windows and other details connected with the buildings as described in the report by the Director of Public Works dated 16th October, 1893.

17. In consequence of the damage to the lantern and apparatus no light was exhibited, as we have previously named, on 2nd October. On 3rd three lamps were rigged temporarily by the Keepers and the light was partially shown; it was only, however, on two or three days after the disaster, the flashes could be exhibited with approximate regularity.

that

 18. Upon reference to the log kept at the Rock, it would appear that from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on 2nd October, which covers the period when the damage occurred, the wind was from east, thus, when the typhoon was at its height, the gap and spur must have assisted in a material degree to produce the disaster, in consequence of the latter directing the seas into the funnel, which were then concen- trated and shot on to the Lighthouse and buildings.

 19. Although it is patent now from experience, what serious results can be produced by the spur and gap, we can fully realize the disadvantages under which the original designers of the Lighthouse and buildings laboured from the limited knowledge of the Rock which was all that was then available.

20. Upon the occurrence of the disaster, both the Director of Public Works and the Harbour Master adopted, with the least possible delay, such measures as were necessary for the reinstating and service of the light in an efficient manner, strong iron shutters have also been fitted to the most exposed of the windows in the quarters.

21. Whilst on this point we may observe, that it is not, in our opinion, practicable to adopt efficient measures for protecting the lantern glass during typhoons. Any protection of this kind which might be provided could not be fixed with such readiness and certainty as is imperative under the extremely adverse conditions which would prevail; and moreover if it were possible so to shield the lantern, the efficiency of the light to the mariner must inevitably be impaired thereby at a time when it is most required.

22. Typhoon of October last.-A typhoon, also of exceptional severity, occurred on 5th October last. On this occasion the direction of the wind during the height of the typhoon varied from cast to

:

154

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1895.

south-south-west. The full force of the seas therefore fell on the southern face of the Rock when the spur would act as a protection to the eastern gap. Mr. NICHOLAS, who was on the Rock during both typhoons, confirms, by his observations of the direction of the seas, the views we have above expressed. In consequence of the full force of the typhoon being more southerly in October last than during the previous typhoon, the circumstance is entirely due that practically no damage was produced by the former whilst the latter was peculiarly disastrous.

  23. Previous Reports. Two reports have been prepared by the Director of Public Works bearing on the foregoing subject, these documents are dated 16th and 25th October, 1893, respectively, and show clearly the extent of the damage caused by the typhoon and the conditions which attended the disaster.

  24. On 8th August last the Engineer to the Trinity Corporation, to whom the matter had been referred, reported, inter alia, that the Buildings offer great resistance to the sea and that in his opinion they are inadequate for such an exceptionally exposed position. The report concludes with the following paragraphs :---

"I am of opinion it would have been preferable had the Lighthouse been erected at the north "end of the Rock, as it will be seen from the formation of this site that it is well "protected and only broken water, to a harmless extent, could, at any time, have "surrounded a building so placed. The Tower should also, I consider, have been treated "as a Rock Lighthouse, constructed of cylindrical form and having a cylindrical lantern

as used in the Corporation service."

66

"A repetition of the damage recently experienced might not improbably be averted, by "filling the gully on the east side, previously referred to, and the removal of the cause- Iway at the end of the gully which would have the effect of easing the sea ove

the "Rock. I regret to state, however, that even if this were successfully carried out, "which would involve considerable expenditure, the safety of the existing Lighthouse "and premises would still remain a source of anxiety.'

RECOMMENDATIONS.

  25. Accompanying Drawings.-This report is accompanied by two drawings* marked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.

  26. Drawing No. 1 shows a plan of the Gap Rock with contour lines at each 10 feet in height. These bring out the configuration of the Rock, as far as it is practicable to do so, although without an inspection, it is difficult to grasp the effect which the sea would have on the gaps and more particularly that on the eastern face. The sheet also shows by red colour the new position which we propose for the Lighthouse and the European Quarters.

  27. Drawing No. 2 shows general views of the New Tower and Quarters, from which their Scope and character and the mode of construction proposed to be adopted will be readily understood. The details indicated on this sheet are, of course, subject to modification by the Director of Public Works upon preparing the larger scale drawings from which the structures would be executed. This sheet also shows a longitudinal section whereon the new Lighthouse and works are coloured red, whereas those portions of the existing buildings which we consider should be removed are crossed by red lines.

:

  28. New Tower.-Upon referring to the drawings it will be observed, that we propose to build a new Tower on the northern portion of the Rock. It would be a cylindrical structure, generally of 14 feet internal.diameter, the walls being of massive proportions and consisting of brickwork faced with granite. It would rest on a heavy base and sub-base of granite and concrete, con.ing well within the edge of the plateau at the crest of the Rock to which reference has been made. The Tower would carry a new lantern of cylindrical form, furnished with helical framing and circular glazing, all of the most recent type as adopted by the Trinity Corporation. The existing apparatus would be re-fixed in the new Tower, so that the character of the light would remain unchanged. Efficient arrangements would have to be adopted for the exhibition of a temporary light during the carrying out of the modifications. The focal plane of the apparatus, when re-fixed, would be 150 feet above mean sea level, as compared with 141 feet 8 inches as at present, a modification, which whilst necessary for construction purposes, would not exercise any material effect on the light.

29. New Quarters for Europeans.-To the north-west of the new Tower and abutting thereon, we propose to erect quarters for three European Keepers. The building would be one story only in height and would rest on a lower base corresponding with that which carries the Tower. Underneath the floors a large tank would be provided for the storage of fresh water caught from the roofs. The accommodation afforded by the new quarters would be practically the same as that now provided with regard to space and air, but the walls would be much heavier and the block of buildings placed on the lee side of the Tower facing Ladrone Islands and the mainland, where they would be in shelter. 30. Having regard to the heat during the summer season, when the day temperature within the existing buildings is from 86° to 88°, we are opinion that external quarters for the Keepers are in this case imperative, as distinguished from quarters within Rock Towers as provided at home, where the heat is less severe. Moreover, in this case no disadvantage will arise, or source of weakness result, from the adoption of external quarters of the character suggested and shown on the drawings.

31. Removal of Existing Buildings.-The existing Lighthouse Tower, as also the block of build- ings abutting thereon, would be removed to the level of the ground floor, at which level a new and substantial flat roof would be provided, so that water may be collected therefrom and from the other block of buildings, and discharged into the existing Tank, which lies under the present quarters of the European Keepers. It will be observed from the section on drawing No. 2, that when the build- ings have been removed as proposed, no obstacle will be presented to the free exhibition of the new light. 32. The connecting passage between the European and Chinese quarters would also be removed, but not the block of buildings constituting the last named quarters and the telegraph room. We propose that these buildings, the roof of which is at such a level as not to obstruct the new light seaward, should remain intact. During typhoons, the Chinese Assistants would, when necessary, for the two or three days when storms prevail, be housed in one of the rooms of the Tower itself.

   33. New Landing Place.-As considerable difficulty and not a little danger sometimes attends landing on and departure from the Rock, we are of opinion that a second landing place, furnished with a derrick, might with advantage be provided to the southward of the existing landing, in the position. suggested by Captain RUMSEY. From this new landing a zig-zag path would have to be formed up the face of the Rock, leading to the present causeway.

   34. General remarks with regard to the proposal.-It is to us a subject of extreme regret, that we have been unable to put forward any project for adoption which involves the maintenance of the existing Tower and the European Quarters. We concur in the views expressed by the Engineer to the Trinity Corporation, that the north end of the Rock is the proper site for the Tower and that as long as the Lighthouse and buildings remain in their present position, they will prove a source of anxiety and expense. In a matter of such moment there ought, in our view, to be no uncertainty with regard to the satisfactory and continuous exhibition of the light. If it sometimes fails when most required, viz., during storms, instead of being a means of safety, it might become a positive source of danger to the mariner. This is so well recognized at home, that no expense is spared to remedy proved defects in the lighthouse service around the coasts of Great Britain, and we would urge that a similar policy is the only satisfactory one to pursue in the present instance.

   35. We have carefully considered both on the Rock, and subsequently, if the difficulties attendant on this case could be removed, to the requisite extent, by filling up the eastern gap, so as to ease the run of the sea therein. We are of opinion, after an inspection of the site and an examination of the configuration and character of the rocks, that the difficulties attendant upon the execution of such a slope would be exceptionally great, particularly at the toe where some work below low water level would be required. We consider that the cost of such a slope, including the formation of the toe, would exceed that of the execution of the proposals which we have put forward for adoption. We also entertain considerable doubt, as to whether the toe could be permanently executed in such an exposed position, the rocks at this spot being waterworn to a glassy surface sloping outwards. For the foregoing reasons we much regret that we are unable to devise any satisfactory form of treatment for the dissipation of the seas falling into the eastern gap.

   36. Estimate. It is not practicable to arrive at more than an approximate estimate of the cost of the proposed works in consequence of the difficulties attendant upon the landing of the men and materials, and the extent to which the operations will be governed by the seasons. We believe, however, that an expenditure of $139,000 will be found sufficient for the satisfactory execution of the works proposed.

   37. As to the maintenance of the Buildings and the Light.-With reference to the second head in your letter of 5th instant, we would recommend that the services of the present European Keepers be retained, or that other experienced men from the Trinity service be engaged in lieu of them on the expiration of their agreements, provided suitable arrangement cannot be made with the existing Keepers or that they may be unwilling to remain. In such an exposed position, where as in the case of the typhoon of October 1893, the Keepers may be required to act on their own responsibility, it is most important that only experienced Europeans should be in charge. The Chinese Assistants would, we take it, continue to be employed as hitherto.

   38. With regard to the services of a Tug for the relief and provisioning of the Keepers, the conveyance of stores, and the making of inspections, etc., although, of course, it is a matter of consider- able importance, that adequate provision in these respects should be made, it appears to us that, this is a question which can be better dealt with by the Harbour Master, and with reference to which he will, no doubt, be glad to furnish such information as may be desired.

   39. Conclusion.-In conclusion, we have to express our thanks to the Director of Public Works and the Harbour Master for the assistance they so courteously rendered in the making of our inspection and subsequent thereto. Our thanks are especially due to Mr. COOPER for the readiness with which he has at all times aided us and for the assistance rendered by his staff in the preparation of the accompanying drawings and the Bill of Quantities upon which the foregoing estimate is based.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servants,

The Honourable

THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

BUOYAGE OF HAINAN STRAITS.

    Notice is hereby given that the Riversdale Rock, which lies to the South-eastward of Hainan Head with Single Palm bearing S. 69 W., magnetic, distant about 18 cables, and has a depth of 34 fathoms on it at low water of spring tides, is now marked by a Black Conical Buoy surmounted by a black triangular cage.

    The buoy is moored in 91?2 fathoms, about 11?2 cables to the North-eastward of the rock, and must be left on the port hand by vessels entering the straits from the eastward.

The Magpie Rock Buoy has been removed.

DIRECTIONS.

    With the Riversdale Rock Buoy in the position above described and the Hainan Head Bank Buoy and Hainan Reef Buoys in their advertised positions, vessels using the South Channel should steer to pass the two former buoys at about 3 cables, taking care to guard against being set towards the shore, and remembering that it is safe to borrow towards the banks on the starboard hand-of which the lead, which should be kept going, will give warning,-while on the other side the bottom is rocky and uneven and the lead gives no warning. The Hainan Reef Buoy may be rounded at a distance of 1 cable or more at discretion.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH MARCH, 1895.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 94.

193

The following Report of the Captain Superintendent of Police for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 12th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th March, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 29.

POLICE OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 31st January, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Governor the criminal statistics and the report on the Police Force for the

year 1894.

2. The statistics shew a decrease as compared with the return of last year of 5.99 per cent. in the total of all cases reported to the Police.

In the sub-division of these cases into serious and minor offences, there appears a decrease as compared with last year of 5.50 per cent. in the former and of 6.25 per cent. in the latter category.

   3. Seven cases of murder came under the notice of the Police. The first occurred at the Kowloon camp where a sergeant of the Hongkong Regiment was shot by a private of the same corps. The culprit was convicted and hanged.

   The second occurred during the clan disturbances, noticed further on, which occurred in March last. The victim was shot in broad daylight in Hillier Street while carrying some merchandise. The murderer made good his escape.

   The third case was a somewhat mysterious one. A woman who lived with her husband in a matshed at the Coffee Plantation was found dead on the top of Caroline Hill near the cemetery there. The body was so decomposed that it was only identified by the clothes upon it. The husband was arrested and tried for her murder but acquitted. There is little doubt that the woman was unfaithful to her husband, and it is probable that on that account it was more than usually difficult to obtain evidence in the case from the Chinese in the neighbourhood.

In the fourth case the victim was a boat-woman who was found dead in her boat near Shau-ki-wan. She was reputed to have some few dollars in her possession and it is probable that her boat was hired and taken out of reach of assistance by some ruffians who proceeded to rob the woman and then decamped into Chinese territory. There were no marks of violence on the body, and the doctor who made the post mortem examination gave it as his opinion that failure of the heart due to shock was the cause of death.

   In the fifth case Indian police constable No. 575 AMER SINGH was shot while endeavouring to arrest one of a gang of robbers who were surprised while robbing a shop in Winglok Street.

At the same time a Chinese, coolie who was passing in the street was also shot dead.

   One of the robbers was arrested on the spot by District Watchman PUN HING, while a second who was no doubt the man who fired the shots which took such fatal effect was captured on the Praya while running away from Head District Watchman LAM ON, by a European constable and an Indian police sergeant.

   Before he was secured he threw something into the harbour, and a revolver, of the same pattern as that found on his companion and as one left in the shop by another of the gang, was picked up by a diver at the spot pointed out by the Police.

   In the meantime the rest of the gang to the number of 4 or 5-it is uncertain which --escaped by the back door of the premises which opens on to the Praya. One of them was stopped by two Chinese police detectives while running not far from the scene of the robbery and arrested as he could give no satisfactory account of himself.

   Other two were arrested next morning in an opium divan. The three men were identified as having taken part in the robbery.

   The trial was not concluded till the current month. The first two prisoners have been found guilty of murder and sentenced to death, and the last three of robbery for which they have been condemned to 14 years' imprisonment.

   In the sixth case a Chinese police constable was shot in the Chinese mess-room at the Central Station by an Indian constable who, after firing several more shots in the compound, turned his rifle upon himself and committed suicide.

No motive is assignable for his shooting the Chinese constable.

}.

194

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH MARCH, 1895.

   4. Twenty-nine cases of robbery with violence appear in the returns. They comprise 9 highway robberies, 9 gang robberies, 9 street robberies, and 2 robberies which cannot be classed under those

three heads.

The following is a brief summary of these cases:

?,

Highway Robberies.

1. On the 10th of January a man was attacked by four men on the road between Shau-ki-wan

and Stanley and robbed of money and clothing to the value of $3.00.

2. On the 15th of March an English maid on the Kennedy Road was robbed by two men of

her watch and chain.

3. On the 12th of May a man was robbed by a man on the Aberdeen and Stanley Road of

money and clothing; value $2.60.

4. On the 13th of May a man was robbed by another on the Rifle Range, Kowloon, of a bundle

of clothing; value $6.00.

5. On the 1st of June three men robbed a Chinese woman on the Shau-ki-wan Road of $72.00. One of the robbers was arrested by the woman's jinricksha coolie, convicted and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour.

6. On the 18th of June one of the other two men was arrested by the Police, convicted and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. These two cases are really therefore one and the same robbery.

7. On the 18th of June a man was robbed by two men on the Pokfulam Road of a watch and

a piece of cloth; total value $4.00.

8. On the 22nd of October two cattle dealers were robbed of $46.00 on the Kowloon Road

by five men one of whom was armed with a sword.

9. On the 19th of November a gardener from Tai Tam Tuk was attacked and robbed on the Stanley and Aberdeen Road by three men one of whom was armed with a sword. One of the robbers was subsequently arrested and committed for trial. The case was referred back to the Magistrate and the prisoner was finally discharged. All of the above robberies took place during the hours of daylight.

Gang Robberies.

1. At 12.30 A.M. on the 12th of January six men, some of whom were armed with knives,

entered a matshed at Tsat Tsz Mui and stole clothing to the value of $16.00.

2. On the 26th of January at 9.30 P.M. two men entered No. 12, Cheung Sau Lane, gagged the only occupant-a boy of 14 years---and stole a box containing clothing valued at $74.00.

3. On the 23rd of March at 1.30 A.M. six men, some of whom were armed with swords, entered a matshed at Wong Chuk Hang near Aberdeen tied up and gagged the occupants and stole property to the value of $4.00.

4. On the 8th of September four men, one of whom was armed with a revolver and another

with a sword, entered No. 35, Nullah Lane, and stole clothing valued at $13.00.

5. At 8.30 P.M. on the 10th of September four men, one armed with a revolver and one with a sword, entered No. 102, Queen's Road West, tied up the occupants and stole clothing to the value of $13.00.

6. At 10 A.M. on the 11th of September three men entered a matshed at Deep Water Bay

tied up the occupants and stole property to the value of $5.00.

7. On the 5th of October at 7 P.M. seven men, armed with revolvers, entered No. 12, Jervois Street, tied up the occupants and stole clothing, jewellery and money to the value of $740.00. This was the night of the severe typhoon.

8. At noon on the 24th of October three men entered No. 5, Tang Loi Lane, during the absence of the master of the shop, threw pepper in the eyes of the only person on the premises-a tailor--and stole $425.00.

9. On the 12th of November at 7.30 P.M. six men, armed with revolvers, entered No. 10,

Winglok Street, tied up the occupants and stole $1,800.00.

   The robbery at No. 156, Winglok Street, occurred on the 22nd of November, but as all the prisoners were first indicted for murder the case is recorded as one of murder in the statistics.

Street Robberies.

I regret to say that an English maid was the object of the first of these robberies. On the 18th of January last at 3 P.M. while walking on the Bonham Road she was seized by a man who tried to possess himself of her bangles and not succeeding in this attempt snatched her umbrella and ran away.

The remaining eight cases bear no feature of special importance. With one exception, that of a European sailor who was robbed of a pocket book containing papers and $2.50 in money while under the influence of liquor, the robberies were committed in the Chinese quarter of the town on Chinese and the amounts stolen varied from $1.00 to $11.00.

On the 14th of October a seaman was arrested at Yaumati for robbing his father of $2,700. He formed one of the crew of his father's fishing junk and he poisoned the evening meal of rice with datura alba, and while his father, sister and brother were lying stupified with the drug he stole the large sum of money mentioned. He was convicted and sentenced to 6 years' imprisonment.

I have drawn attention in a separate report to this case and to two others of attempted poisoning, and have suggested the desirability of placing restrictions upon the sale of poisons in this Colony.

The remaining case occurred on board the s.s. Tantalus: one Chinese fireman robbing another of $25.00. The fireman was arrested, but the case which arose out of a quarrel was dismissed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH MARCH, 1895.

6. The most unsatisfactory feature in the year's returns is the increase in the number of cases of robbery with violence, and especially the very serious nature of the gang robberies at 12, Jervois Street; 10, Winglok Street; and at 56, Winglok Street.

With regard to the increase in number of these cases it is right to mention that during the five months from the 1st of May to 30th September when from 5 to 10 per cent. of the Force was engaged on Plague work there occurred thirteen cases as against six during the same period in 1893. However, the three most serious cases occurred after the men had all returned to regular duty. The winter months are, of course, the most dangerous; and it is worthy of note that it is reported from Canton that gang robberies of a similar nature have been very rife there this winter.

I should also point out the extraordinary ease with which these robberies can be effected.

In the Jervois Street and the two Winglok Street cases for instance, the inmates of the shops out- numbered the robbers by more than two to one, and yet in each case they never offered the slightest resistance or endeavoured to communicate the alarm to persons in the street or their neighbours.

The robbers, of course, rely on this passivity and are enabled, unless some accident happens, as at 56, Winglok Street, to carry out one of these raids under the very noses of the Police.

But it is not only in the presence of robbers that the shopman's courage fails him. In the second Winglok Street case the inmates of the shop although they admitted being able to identify the robbers absolutely refused to accompany the Police in the search for the men.

One of their number was at last induced to lend his services, but it is not too much to say that he was virtually compelled to acquiesce. After 2 hours' search he asked to go home, and it was necessary to practically detain him in a Police Station all night lest he should not be forthcoming for the morning

search.

After the arrest of the five men concerned in the robbery at 56, Winglok Street, it was of course desired to ascertain, if possible, whether they were the same gang that had robbed No. 10 in the same

street.

The inmates of the latter shop were asked to go up to the Gaol and look at the men and they emphatically refused to do so.

There are two remedies to prevent the recurrence of such outrages as these robberies constitute. One, of course, is to keep the Police Force up to its full strength as far as possible

possible throughout the year, and the other is to perfect the Chinese detective branch of the Force drawing at the same time all the assistance possible from the District Watchmen's Force which should be brought into closer touch with the Police.

   7. I referred in my report of last year to the number of larcenies by servants. I regret to say that there was no diminution in this particular form of offence during 1894.

   Nineteen watches were reported as stolen, and of these only four were recovered by the Police although no trouble was spared to trace the property the great bulk of which is, I think, taken into the interior of China and either melted down or sold to local magnates.

   Even when the Police succeed in tracing one of these thieves to his native village it does not follow as a consequence that the Chinese authorities will assist much in recovering the property.

   Take, for example, the case of the $225.00 and gold watch stolen from Mr. H. M. MEHTA by his chair coolie. Although the watch had actually been seen by an emissary of the Police in a certain village, the Chinese officials failed to recover it although after five months' correspondence they did produce half of the number of dollars.

   I suggested registration of servants last year as a safeguard against these larcenies, and I have since recommended that licensing of servants be made compulsory by law. I am aware that the law which formerly existed on this subject became a dead letter. But the only reason for that was the apathy of residents in this Colony.

   It was too much trouble to spend ten minutes in registering a servant before engaging him, and so a boy who has robbed his former master or a chair coolie who has misconducted himself and been dismissed find employment probably next door where they possibly repeat the same offences.

   I regard the licensing of private chair coolies at any rate as a most desirable and even necessary measure in the interests of law and order. The Hongkong private chair coolie is one of the most impudent and unruly members of this community, and the sole reason is that neither his master nor the Police have direct control over him.

   If he were licensed as a public chair coolie or jinricksha coolie is, a very great improvement would be speedily observed in his behaviour.

8. I have already reported fully on the clan disturbances between Tung Koon and Sz Yap coolies which disgraced this Colony in March last resulting in one man being shot dead and several others wounded by revolver shots and knives.

   The fight had its origin in a collision between processionists of the two factions during the monster celebration both on land and water of the Feast of Lanterns last

year.

197

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH MARCH, 1895.

  The incident stirred up the dormant enmity between the two clans, and it only required another collision between some cargo coolies at West Point to fan the ill-feeling into flame.

to

For four days all work on steamers in the harbour ceased as the coolies of either party were afraid go to work lest they should be exposed to the attack of the other. In the meantime the members of the various clubs frequented by either party--professional fighting men and bullies-constituted them- selves the champions of either side and carried on for 4 days a guerilla warfare not upon each other, but upon any isolated members of the clans they might happen to meet.

*

In this way a coolie who with another was carrying a load in Hillier Street was shot by a man who walked quietly up to him, with a revolver, discharged it against his abdomen and walked as quietly away, not one in the crowded street having the courage to interfere with him or even to raise the alarm although a strong Police patrol had only just passed by. Nay, more not a single one of the many witnesses who must have seen the murder committed--for it was done at 12 o'clock in the day when the street and shops were full of people--would give any information at all to assist in tracing the man.

The companion of the murdered man made no report to the Police, and an entire day was spent in finding him.

Nine other coolies were cut down with swords and knives while pursuing their ordinary avocations, and two men were wounded by revolver shots fired from the tops of house in Queen's Road West into the houses opposite.

  This was put a stop to by posting armed Police on the house tops. Thirteen men were arrested for carrying revolvers in the street and 4 for being armed with knives while numerous arrests were made for fighting and disturbing the peace.

It was found possible to break up the clubs which had furnished the professional fighting men who carried on the disturbances, and in four days order was restored and the coolies returned to their work.

You are aware that the Officer Administering the Government (Sir GEORGE OBRIEN) reported to the Secretary of State his opinion that the Police had acted with credit in this emergency, and I take this opportunity of stating that each branch of the Force well deserved His Excellency's commendation.

The circumstances were such as to call into prominence the usefulness of the Chinese Contingent, and I am glad to be able to state that it acquitted itself in the most thoroughly satisfactory manner, the men displaying energy, intelligence, and courage.

I have also to acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered by the Registrar General and the District Watchmen.

9. I have referred above to the drain of men from the Police Force caused by the Plague.

There was no alternative but to lend as many men as were wanted to carry on the work of the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board (of which I myself was a member), for there was no possibility of getting men who could do the work satisfactorily elsewhere.

The house to house visitation could never have been conducted in the satisfactory manner it was without European Police who could speak Chinese, and without Chinese Police who could speak English, to act as interpreters for the soldiers and others engaged on the work who did not know the Chinese language.

Nor could the work at the Tung Wa and Plague Hospitals have been carried on without assistance from all three branches of the Force, or could the disinfecting and cleansing operations have been effected by the men of the Royal Engineers and Shropshire Light Infantry as smoothly and free from opposition as they were but for the presence of Police with the men at the commencement of the operations and until the soldiers and the Chinese population had become thoroughly accustomed to each other.

For the four months from the middle of May to middle of September there were 6 European Police, 2 Indians and 17 Chinese regularly employed on Plague work, and there were 14 Europeans, 11 Indians and 13 Chinese engaged on the same work for periods varying from 1 month to 3 months. These men all volunteered for the duty.

During the whole of that time not a single complaint was made against any one of these men although they were daily occupied in carrying out measures which were very distasteful to the Chinese population.

An immense amount of extra work was thrown by the Plague on the Police who were not employed under the Sanitary Board. This work although often of an extremely disagreeable nature was cheerfully undertaken by one and all.

In short, the work done by the entire Police Force during the Plague and the manner in which it was done, are deserving of the highest praise, and merit the thanks of the Community.

The demand for Chinese-speaking European Police was very great, and I regret to say that the supply was not equal to the demand.

Chinese is such an unattractive language that it is extremely difficult to induce men to take up the study of it.

I have hesitated to recominend that it be made compulsory lest such a condition superadded to the low sterling value of the pay should make recruiting at home more difficult, but I intend to make such a recommendation as soon as opportunity offers for doing so without risk of prejudice to other interests.

198

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH MARCH, 1895.

Neither was the supply of English-speaking Chinese Police and Chinese and English-speaking Indians sufficient.

Increased attention to the Police School is the remedy for this.

   10. The year so fruitful in extraordinary occurrences produced the only economic strike that, as far as I am aware, has ever occurred in this Colony.

   On the 16th of October the carpenters and joiners in the Colony struck for higher wages and diminished hours of work. They did not state what increase of wages they wanted, but they asked that their hours of work should be from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. with 1 hour off in the middle of the day all the year round, instead of from 7 A.M. to dusk in winter and 6 a.m. to dusk in summer and only an hour off in the middle of the day. The masters of carpenters' shops and contractors refused to grant these terms and the men went out on strike.

   The strikers were, of course, not interfered with till they put themselves on the wrong side of the pale of the law by interfering with certain carpenters who had returned to work.

   This led to arrests and convictions, and the strike ended without the strikers having gained their object. It lasted in all two weeks and a half.

11. The Dogs Ordinance has continued to work smoothly. During the year, 1,825 dogs were licensed on payment of the fee and 32 as watch dogs. 61 strayed and unclaimed dogs were destroyed. Only 11 cases of dog-bite were reported to the Police, which shews a marked decrease on the number in previous years.

12. Complaints on the part of the public have, as in the year 1893, been chiefly directed to the annoyance and interruption to traffic caused by cracker firing and Chinese processions in the streets. I have to repeat the opinion that the granting of permits for these native amusements should be placed

in the hands of the Executive Police.

   It seems not only anomalous but distinctly unfair to this Department that without any previous reference to it by the organisers of such demonstrations (who, in this case, I understand, were a mixed committee) the City should be allowed to be invaded by a host of processionists as it was on the occasion of the Feast of Lanterns in March last, when the crowd was so dense in the Queen's Road that not only was all chair and jinricksha traffic suspended, but pedestrians were unable to force their way through the seething mass of holiday makers.

   During an entire forenoon brokers and other business men were unable to pursue their business avocations, and the Police placed in the streets to endeavour to keep order were overwhelmed in the flood of human beings that not only filled the entire roadway but covered the pavement on both sides of it.

Complaints against mendicancy in the streets and the regulation of traffic have not been so frequent. An attempt has been made to improve the latter by establishing stands at convenient places for chairs and jinrickshas.

   Very little success has attended the efforts to keep pedestrians and especially coolies carrying burdens to the sides of the roads.

Nothing but increased carriage traffic will, I fear, effectually keep them off the roadways.

   13. The conduct of the Force during the year has on the whole been very satisfactory, although I regret to say that one sergeant and one temporary acting sergeant were reported for intemperance. The latter was dismissed.

The number of reports made against European Members of the Force was 74-the same as last year. Of these 10 were for drunkenness as against 19 in the previous 12 months, 3 for disorderly conduct, assault and fighting, and 3 for sitting down on duty as against 9 and 7, respectively, in 1893. On the other hand there were 12 reports for neglect of duty and 10 for asleep on duty (one man was reported twice for the latter offence) as against 5 and 6 in the previous year.

Against men of the Indian Contingent there were 214 reports as against 278 in 1893.

   Of these 18 were for drunkenness as against 25 in 1893; 25 for disorderly conduct, assault and fighting as against 27, 41 for neglect of duty as against 51, 17 for absence from duty or beat and late. for duty as against 56, 39 for gossiping, sitting down and idling on duty as against 23, 15 for asleep on duty as against 16, 5 for leaving beat before being relieved as against 9.

Amongst Chinese Constables there were 397 reports as against 363 in 1893.

It must be mentioned, however, that the Chinese Force was kept up to its full strength throughout

the year.

   I regret to say there were 2 cases of drunkenness. The increases were in 161 reports as against 115 in the previous year for the offences of absence from duty or beat, and late for duty, and in 6 reports for leaving beat before being relieved as against 1 report for this offence in 1893.

   There was a decrease of from 54 to 35 for gossiping on duty, sitting down and idling on duty, and from 52 to 48 for asleep on duty. 1 European constable was convicted by the Magistrate for assault. 1 Chinese constable of allowing a prisoner to escape. 1 Chinese of unlawful possession of a bag of sugar, and 4 Chinese (a Water Police boat's crew) of misconduct as Police constables in trying to extort money.

   14. A batch of recruits was obtained from the London Metropolitan Police, and has on the whole given very great satisfaction.

Twelve recruits were obtained from India and have given great satisfaction.

Very little recruiting was done for the Chinese Force, vacancies being filled up from the Water Police and recruits taken on temporarily for that branch in order to enable the necessary reduction to be made at the end of the year in view of the introduction of the system of substituting steam pinnaces for rowing boats for policing the harbour.

A trial was made of selection by competitive examination in the Chinese language.

The experiment was not a success. The Chinese that offer themselves as recruits being as a rule so illiterate that but small distinction could be drawn between their attainments.

   15. I attach a report on the Police School by Messrs. ARTHUR & JAMESON. The latter had charge of the school for nine months during the former's absence on leave.

   The translation of the new Instruction Book has caused much delay and the book is not yet out of the hands of the printer.

Five members of the European Force obtained certificates from the Board of Examiners for know- ledge of Chinese. One passed the third and highest standard. He has since been transferred to the Post Office as first clerk.

Fourteen Indians obtained certificates for knowledge of Chinese, and three Indians and one Chinese for knowledge of English.

16. The health of the Force has been very satisfactory. The admissions to Hospital were, compared with last year, as follows:-

Europeans, Indians, Chinese,

I attach a list shewing the number of fever cases sent to Hospital from each Station. It will be seen that the Aberdeen Station is by far the most unhealthy Station and the figures for it demand serious attention. Every European and Indian stationed there during the year contracted fever, and only three Chinese (including servants) escaped catching it.

The number of deaths from ordinary causes is the same as last year. No death occurred among the Europeans. Of the four Indians whose deaths are recorded two committed suicide and one was shot on duty, while of the eleven Chinese that died seven were claimed by the Plague and one was shot by an Indian Police constable.

17. The Indian messes have proved a success, and there are messes now established at all the Stations except Pokfulam, Aberdeen, Stanley, Shau-ki-wan, Hung Hom, and the Block House, Fuk Tsun Heung.

18. I have drawn attention in a separate report to the unsatisfactory condition of the Barrack accommodation in the Eastern and Western Districts, and I have also recommended the building of additional bath-rooms and of a drying-room at the Central Station. Improvements in these directions are urgently required, and I trust that it may be found possible to carry out my recommendations at an early date.

It has been found possible during the year to improvise drying-rooms at Nos. 1, 3, and 7 Stations, Yaumati, and Aberdeen. The men at those stations are now able to dry their uniform and clothing in wet weather, and it is probable that the improvement in the health of the Force is partly attributable to this cause.

Japanese hot water baths, which are self-heating being furnished with a charcoal stove, were supplied to the following stations:-

Central, Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, Mount Gough, Aberdeen, Stanley, Yaumati, Tsim Tsa Tsui, Hung Ham, Shau-ki-wan, and the men were instructed to take a hot plunge when returning wet and cold off duty at night or in the early morning.

   The men have used the baths to a fair extent, and will no doubt use them more as they become accustomed to and learn to appreciate them.

I have the honour to be,

SIR, I have the honour to forward a report on the Police School for 1894.

In consequence of my absence on leave for the nine months ending December, I have had no personal opportunity of observing the working and results of the changes introduced early in the year; but Mr. JAMESON, who had charge of the School during my absence, has furnished the report appended

hereto.

During the year 26 Europeans, 171 Indians and 159 Chinese attended the School.

   SIR,-I have the honour to report that the changes introduced by the Captain Superintendent about a year ago have increased the interest of the men in their school work and their progress has in consequence been more satisfactory.

   During the period under review ten European constables have passed the examination releasing them from compulsory attendance, while two Indians and one Chinese have obtained the increase of pay given for success in the higher examination by the Board of Examiners.

With a view to extending the usefulness of the School by attracting Indians and Chinese from other Departments, I would recommend that the personal allowance be given to a member of the Gaol Guard, WASAWA SINGH, who, by voluntarily attending the School for several years, has acquired a knowledge of English in excess of what is necessary to qualify Indian constables for the grant.

In April last Mr. ARTHUR went to England on leave of absence and has not yet resumed his duties.

SIR,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 27th Febr ruary, 1895.

   With reference to paragraph 12, of page 56, of the Evidence appended to the Report of the Retrenchment Committee, I am directed to inform you that Mr. THOMSON denies the accuracy of the words therein attributed to him by the Chairman, but admits having made a confidential statement before the Emigration Committee to the effect that from current reports amongst the Chinese, of which he, as Acting Registrar General, was informed confidentially, there was a certain amount of reason to believe that corruption existed in the passing of emigrants.

   As, however, no proof appears to be forthcoming in support of the accuracy of such rumours, I am to state that the Government cannot place any credence therein, and I am to express regret that by inadvertence publicity was given to what appeared to be a charge of corruption but which, on investigation, is found to be the repetition of mere rumours unsupported by a vestige of evidence.

I am to add that this letter will be laid on the table at the next meeting, of the Legislative Council,

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

15th January, 1895.

*

  SIR,With reference to my Circular despatches of the 25th July and 15th August last, I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of the Colony under your Government, an extract from the London Gazette containing notes exchanged between Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid and the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs confirming the commercial Agreement now existing between Great Britain and Spain.

I have the honour to be,

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

  The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has received the following Despatch from Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid:-

MY LORD,

Madrid, January 2, 1895.

I have now the honour to inclose a copy of my note to the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs confirming the commercial agreement between the United Kingdom and Spain, together with a copy and translation of His Excellency's reply.

  The original note from Senor Groizard will be forwarded to your Lordship by the first safe opportunity.

I have, &c.,

A

Enclosure 1.

Madrid, December 28, 1894.

MONSIEUR LE Ministre,

*

  Circumstances having impeded the further negotiations for a definite Commercial Treaty, the Government of Her Majesty, my August Sovereign, are prepared to record in a more formal manner the understanding now existing between the United Kingdom and Spain for the regulation of their mutual commercial relations. They understand that this course will for many reasons be convenient to the Government of His Catholic Majesty.

It is therefore understood between the two Governments that they maintain the agreement entered into between them in the month of June last, by the note addressed by me to Your Excellency's predecessor on the 20th of June, 1894, and the note I had the honour to receive from Senor Moret under date of the 29th of the same month. Such agreement shall remain in force until a permanent Treaty be concluded, or unless it be terminated by one of the parties, who shall with this object give the other a notice of six months.

* The following is the understanding now existing between Great Britain and Spain referred to in Sir H. Wolff's above despatch and made public in July, 1894.

"Under the provisions of an Act recently passed by the Spanish Certes, geeds arriving in Spain and r hColonies from the United Kingdom and the British Colonies will continue to receive the same treatment as heretofore, namely, in the Peninsula and the adjacent islands the Minimum Tariff, together with the advantages conceded by Treaty to Switzerland, Sweden and Norway, and the Netherlands, or other European States, except Portugal.c

"In the Spanish Colonies, such goods will continue to be treated under the Minimum Column of the Colonial Tariff. "This treatment will be maintained until a permanent Commercial Treaty is concluded between the United Kingdom and Spain, or until the negotiations now pending for the conclusion of such a Treaty are formally broken off."

J

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH MARCH, 1895.

221

  As before, it is agreed that it shall be open to any British Colony to withdraw from the present agreement, on notice to that effect being given by Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid to the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs within six months after the date of its signature.

I avail, &c.,

His Excellency Senor Groizard.

Palacio, 29 de Diciembre de 1894.

I have had the honour to receive the note which your Excellency communicated to me on the 28th instant, to the effect that circumstances having impeded the continuation of the negotiations for a definitive Treaty of Commerce between Spain and the United Kingdom, the Government of Her Britannic Majesty is prepared to record, in a more formal manner, the understanding now existing for the regulation of their commercial relations.

The Government of His Catholic Majesty, who believe that this understanding will be, for various reasons, equally convenient to that of Her Britannic Majesty, consider that the agreement entered into by exchange of notes under date of the 20th and 29th of June last, between your Excellency and my predecessor, Senor Moret, is maintained until the conclusion of a definitive Treaty, unless it be terminated by one of the High Contracting Parties, who, with this object, give to the other a notice of six months.

  As before, it is agreed that it shall be open to any British Colony to withdraw from the present agreement on notice to that effect being given by the Ambassador at Madrid to the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs within six months after the date of its signature.

  SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 262 of the 6th of December last enclosing a copy of a letter from the Acting Chief Justice, in his capacity of Chairman of the Committee appointed at the public meeting which was held for the purpose of recognising services rendered during the recent epidemic of the plague.

  I have also to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 267 of the 11th of December enclosing newspaper reports of the proceedings at the meeting and at a subsequent military parade.

2. I have taken due note of the names which are more prominently brought forward in these despatches, and I have experienced great satisfaction in bringing to the notice of the Secretary of State for War the services rendered by Major-General BARKER, C.B., and the officers and men of the Garrison under his command to whom the thanks of Her Majesty's Government are due in addition to the acknowledgments and thanks of the Colonial Government and the Colonial Community.

3. I have already placed on record my strong sense of the firmness and gallantry which were shown in the face of the epidemic, and I can only again repeat my personal acknowledgments to those who on behalf of others risked their life and health at this trying time.

Suicide by opium poisoning,

The deceased died from some kind of poison of the

nature of strychnine self administered,

The deceased died from the effects of an overdose of Prussic acid self administered but whether acciden- tally or with the intention of committing suicide there is no sufficient evidence to definitely decide. The Magistrate further finds that at the time of taking the poison the deceased was perfectly sober, The deceased died from dislocation of the neck con- sequent upon the execution of the deceased by being hanged by the neck in pursuance of a sentence of death passed upon him by the Supreme Court of Hongkong at the March Criminal Sessions of 1894, ....

The deceased died from shock occasioned by fracture of skull and other injuries incurred in falling from the top floor of House No. 22, Tung Man Lane whence he was pushed down in a rush occasioned by the attempt of P.C. 251, Lo Kai, to arrest some men on the top floor whom he found engaged in playing a game of chance,

The deceased met with his death by rupture of the spleen occasioned by falling or jumping over a wall in the premises of the Government Civil Hospital in which he was temporarily lodged, he being at the time of his death of unsound mind, The deceased P.C. 140, Cheng Leung, met with his death by a bullet fired intentionally at him by the deceased Sorain Singh who at the same time met with his own death by inflicting a bullet wound on his own person with intent to commit suicide, there being no evidence to show for certain whether the deceased Sorain Singh was or was not in his right mind at the time and there being no evidence forth- coming to explain the reason of this action towards the deceased P.C. 140,

The following Report on the resumption of certain properties in the Taipingshan District in the city of Victoria, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 20th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 22nd March, 1895.

No. 102.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 6th March, 1895.

SIR,-Now that the amounts to be awarded in respect of certain properties resumed by the Government under The Taipingshan Resumption Ordinance, 1894, have been decided, I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Governor the following report.

18947

   2. In accordance with the instructions contained in C.S.O. 2882, I at once, with as little interference with the work in hand and the ordinary routine work of the department, had the plans prepared, and other information collected, that I deemed desirable for deciding the amounts to be offered by Government in respect of the various properties concerned.

3. This was, of course, a work of some magnitude, and as the claims rapidly came in after the appointment of the Board of Arbitration, a great deal of my time during the last three months has been devoted to the consideration of these claims and attendance before the arbitrators.

4. The total number of claims, excluding those by others than owners, received, was 77, involving 118 distinct Inland Lots and 417 houses. The total area of private property resumed being 6.25 acres.

5. I attach a tabular statement shewing the number of the claim, the lot number, the area of property, the number of houses, the amount claimed, the amount offered, the amount awarded, and the Crown rent payable by the late Lessee in respect of each claim.

6. In many cases, the amounts of the claims were altered on being referred to the Board, and the particulars furnished by the claimants were incomplete, compared with those they afterwards tendered to the Board, which accounts, in some cases, for the difference between the amounts offered and those awarded. In some cases, however, I was approached by the claimants, after an offer had been made, with a view to settlement without going before the Board, and as will be seen from the tabular state- ments, I was able under the authority of C.S O. 3294 to obtain that object in several instances.

7. The total number of claims-

1894

(a) In which the Government offer was accepted, was 33.

(b) In which a settlement subject to no order as to costs was effected without going to the

Board, was 6, leaving

(c) 39 claims dealt with by the Board.

8. The following statement shews the amounts claimed, offered, accepted, or awarded in each of the 'above classifications, (excluding the Tung Wa Hospital claim) :-

(a) Claimed $297,577, accepted $244,797.

(b) Claimed $94,850, offered $71,444, accepted $74,700.

(c) Claimed $624,773, offered $363,524, awarded $443,600.

9. The Board were therefore only called upon to decide the value of the properties resumed in 39 claims in which the amount claimed was $624,773, offered $363,524, awarded $443,600.

The difference in the amounts offered and awarded being $80,076, or 21% more than the Government offered.

10. Costs were awarded to the claimants in 24 cases, against the claimants in two cases, and no order was made as to costs in the remaining cases.

11. The costs, including those of the arbitration, will no doubt bear a considerable proportion to the difference between the amounts offered and those awarded, and it is to be regretted that in several instances the claimants did not approach the Government with a view to settlement for amounts approximately near those awarded.

12. The only claims, which I wish to draw especial attention to, are numbers 8 and 14 and 77 the first was for a ruined temple in Taipingshan Street, the second for the premises occupied as a school by the Italian Sisters, and the last for a chapel belonging to the London Mission.

;

13. In each of these cases, exceptional terms were claimed on account of the special nature of the occupation, and in the case of the temple on account of the "sacredness of the site." And I would state that I did not feel justified in using the authority granted me in C.S.O. 94 to take such matters into consideration in attempting to settle the claims by going beyond the value of the properties ascertained from comparison with the adjoining properties.

238

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MARCH, 1895.

14. In each case, I had offered, if the scheme for the improvement of Taipingshan admitted of it, to recommend to the Government the restoration of the properties or the granting of similar sites with allowances for rebuilding.

15. As no definite arrangement was at once practicable, owing to the improvement project not yet being settled, the Board decided that they had better hear the parties and make alternative awards. The only claim settled at present on the above lines is No. 25, viz., that of the Tung Wa Hospital, in respect of Inland Lot No. 361.

16. I expect at an early date to be in a position to submit to the Government a project for dealing with a large portion of the resumed area, and in doing which to point out how far the restora- tion of these sites to the claimants is practicable.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 110.

The following Circular Despatch from the Secretary of State respecting Colonial Military Lands and Buildings, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 20th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 22nd March, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Acting Colonial Secretary.

CIRCULAR.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

30th December, 1894.

From correspondence which has taken place respecting Colonial Military Lands and Buildings-that is to say, lands the fee simple of which is vested in the Crown represented by the Colonial Government but of which the War Department has a right of perpetual user for purposes of defence and the Buildings on such lands, in certain Colonies-since my Predecessor's Circular despatch of the 9th of June, 1890, it appears that the exact meaning of the proposals enclosed in the Circular as to the mode of dealing with such lands when no longer required for Military purposes has not been clearly understood.

2. Her Majesty's Government have carefully reconsidered the question and have decided to adhere to the proposals adopted by their predecessors and communicated to the Colonial Governments in Lord KNUTSFORD's Circular despatch, and with the view of removing any misunderstanding they have thought it desirable to formulate their proposals in the following terms, viz. :-

"The free surrender to the Colony of all Colonial Military Lands and Buildings no longer required by Her Majesty's Government on the engagement by the Colony that, in the event of lands and buildings being required then or in the future for the defence of the Colony, the Colony shall provide an equivalent for the lands and buildings so surrendered, towards the satisfaction of the above-mentioned require- ments, and to that intent the value of the lands and buildings surrendered shall be ascertained and recorded, and any lands and buildings provided out of that value shall be held by Her Majesty's Government on the same tenure as those surrendered.

J

or

3. This proposal is based upon the assumption that the Colonial Military Lands in question constitute a permanent Defence Fund of the Colony, the integrity of which ought to be preserved, in kind or value, even though the original lands them- selves may be diverted to Civil purposes. Accordingly, whenever such lands which have been set apart for defensive purposes have, from change of circumstances, from an altered scheme of defence, or from any other reason, ceased to answer the purposes for which they were set apart, and are in consequence surrendered by the Military Authorities, their value should be treated as forming a capital applicable, either immediately or from time to time, so far as it will extend, to providing other lands or buildings which may be required in the Colony for such purposes.

4. Effect would be given to the above proposal in the following manner :--- If the Colonial Government should not desire to retain the lands and buildings to be surrendered, they will be sold in the open market, and the proceeds paid into the Colonial Treasury, when the amount would be entered in a special account to the debit of the Colonial Government. In the event of any new lands or buildings being immediately required for the defensive purposes of the Colony the amount of the above-mentioned proceeds, or a sufficient portion of them, would be paid out as required for the purchase of the new sites, and for the construction of the new build- ings; the amounts so paid out being entered in the Special Account to the credit of the Colonial Government. Should the new sites, instead of being purchased from private owners, be located on Crown Lands in the possession of the Colonial Govern- ment the necessary lands would be given over to the Military Authorities, and credit taken in the Special Accounts for the market value of the fee simple of the Crown

Lands so given over.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MARCH, 1895.

241

5. Should new Lands or Buildings not be immediately required for defensive purposes, the above-mentioned proceeds would stand in the special account to the debit of the Colonial Government to be paid out in the same way in the event of funds being ever required in the future for providing lands or buildings for defensive purposes.

6. Whenever the Colony desires to retain any lands which the Military Author- ities give up, such lands, instead of being offered for sale, would be valued, and the market value of their fee simple at date of surrender would be entered in the Special Account to debit of the Colonial Government, together with the fair selling value at that date of any buildings which might be upon the land. In the event of the sur- render of any buildings now existing which in the past were erected at Colonial cost it would only be necessary to record the value of the site.

to record the value of the site. The amounts so entered would be paid out as required for the provision of the lands or buildings for the defensive purposes of the Colony, and the amounts, as in the case of sale, credited to the Colonial Government, the like credit being given in the event of new sites being provided on Crown Lands. Should no new lands or buildings be immediately required the amounts entered would remain to the debit of the Colonial Government until such time, if ever, as lands or buildings should become necessary for defensive purposes.

7. Valuation of land or buildings, when required under the circumstances above- mentioned, should be made by the Colonial and Military Authorities conjointly, or, in the event of their disagreeing by an independent and competent surveyor, to be chosen by agreement between the Home and Colonial Governments, whose report should be final. The cost of employing such surveyor would be borne by the Colonial Government, but should be placed to its credit in the special account.

8. Any lands and buildings provided hereafter for defensive purposes under this arrangement, including land required for rifle ranges or other purposes conducing to the efficiency of the garrison, would be occupied by the Military upon a right of perpetual user only, the fee simple of the land remaining in the Crown represented by the Colonial Government. In the event of any such lands being at any time surrendered by the Military Authorities they would be dealt with in the manner above detailed.

9. Before any buildings are commenced the cost of which will be chargeable to the Special Account, the Governor will be informed of the nature and estimated cost of the proposed buildings in order that any observations that he may wish to offer upon them may be duly considered by Her Majesty's Government.

10. It is not proposed to re-open any transactions already closed and lands which have already passed out of Military occupation will remain the property of the Colony, subject of course to any conditions which may have been attached to them at the time when they came into the possession of the Colonial Government.

J

11. The foregoing proposal relates solely to the terms on which Colonial Military Lands in the hands of the War Department should be surrendered to a Colonial Government. It does not affect the obligation of a Colony to provide other lands required within its borders for military purposes, whether under some special agreement, or under the general obligation that rests on every Colony to contribute, according to its means, towards its own defence. Whatever the circumstances of a Colony may be it is obviously within its means to maintain its Colonial Military Lands intact, in money or kind, for defensive purposes.

12. I request that you will lay this despatch before the Legislative Council and convey to them my earnest hope that the proposals of Her Majesty's Government will be accepted as a fair and equitable solution to the advantage alike of the Mother Country and of the Colony of a question which has in some Colonies been the subject of considerable and prolonged controversy.

The Officer Administering the Government of

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1895.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 116.

   The following Report of the Sanitary Surveyor for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 28th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th March, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

SANITARY BOard Room, HONGKONG, 20th February, 1895.

   SIR, I have the honour to submit the following report for the year ending December 31st, 1894.

   1. Plans for the redrainage of two hundred and fifty-two (252) houses were carried forward from 1893; plans for eight hundred and seventy-eight (878) houses were deposited in 1894, making a total of eleven hundred and thirty (1,130) in hand during the year.

2. A total of five hundred and fifty-five (555) houses have been completed and the plans for eight (8) houses cancelled during the past year, leaving five hundred and sixty-seven (567) still incomplete which are carried forward to 1895.

   3. Certificates have been granted under Section 74, Ordinance 24 of 1887, to forty-six (46) houses as having been built in accordance with the provisions of that Ordinance.

4. Tables A and B annexed shew clearly-

Table 4.-The plans received and work completed during each quarter of the past year. Table B.-The plans received, work completed and certificates granted since the Public

Health Ordinance came into force.

   5. The number of houses (567) carried forward from last year is largely in excess of what it has been in previous years. About one-third of these, however, are new buildings still in course of erection while of the remainder a large proportion are completed except for small repairs.

   6. The number of houses certified as having been built in accordance with the provisions of the Public Health Ordinance is only forty-six (46) as compared with two hundred and nineteen (219) in 1893 and four hundred and seventy-five (475) in 1891; the reduction may probably be attributed to the Plague.

   7. The drains of five hundred (500) houses were inspected by me last year under a warrant from the President made in accordance with Section 53 of the Public Health Ordinance, and the owners were called upon to reconstruct the drainage arrangements.

the

8. On the outbreak of Plague in May my services were placed at the disposal of the Board for purpose of supervising the disinfection and cleansing of all plague houses throughout the Colony. A detailed report of this work has been furnished, but the annexed tables C and D, which were attached to that report, are sent in again now as they have an important bearing on the work done in the redrainage of private premises. The redrainage of a large number of houses has been undertaken by the owners since the occurrence of plague in them.

9. Water-closets have been erected and connected to the house drains by permission of the Board or have been re-connected after the re-modelling of the closets and drainage in the following premises :- Grand Stand, Race Course; Tramway Terminus, Garden Road; Bank House, Garden Road; Nos. 64 and 66, Queen's Road Central; Gas Works, Praya West; Remedios Terrace, Arbuthnot Road; Gleneally, Caine Road; City Hall; and the Hongkong Club.

   10. Some notice is called for here of the inaccuracies of deposited plans and of the failure to properly inspect work before calling in the Board's officers. It is but too clear that in the majority of cases no attempt is made before starting the work to see what gradients may be obtained for the drains, and in the flatter parts of the City it is seldom that they can be laid throughout to the gradients indicated on the plan. No notice is given of the change of gradient and it is only ascertained on inspection. It is too a frequent occurrence to find a drain leaking on inspection; occasionally pipes are found to be laid without any hemp in the joints and with cement protruding in the drain through the bottom of the joint. Instances could be quoted where four or five inspections have had to be made of drains before they could be passed. I call attention to these facts as they occasion waste of time, and in the hope that those responsible will exercise more care in the future.

11. 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,

H. MCCALLUM, Esq.,

Secretary, Sanitary Board.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1895.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 117.

   The following Scheme for the Improvement of the Resumed Area in the district of Taipingshan, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 28th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th March, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

No. 132.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 22nd March, 1895.

   SIR,-I have the honour to submit a project for the improvement of that portion of Taipingshan resumed by the Government under the provisions of Ordinance No. 8 of 1894, and a report thereon as follows:

tion

2. The total area of private property resumed is 272,021 square feet, and the cost of such resump- may be taken approximately, pending the settlement of costs, at $800,000.

>

   3. It will be observed on reference to the accompanying plan marked A, on which the built area is shewn coloured neutral tint, that some portions of the area are closely built over, and that, owing to the great variation in the levels of the ground, basements exist to a large extent.

   4. Further, many of the lanes are very narrow and crooked, preventing the free circulation of air around the buildings, and rendering access for the purpose of efficient scavenging and exercising reasonable supervision over the sanitation of the dwellings most difficult, and in some cases impossible to perform.

   5. A careful study of the levels of the ground and the existing state of things will show how impracticable it is to attempt to render this district sanitary without extensive alterations and im- provements.

   6. There are some blocks of houses which perhaps leave little to be desired except an increase in the width of the lanes at their backs, but a retention of these intact would prejudicially affect to a large extent the improvement of the district as a whole both from a sanitary and financial point of

view.

   7. In considering the general project for the improvement of this district, the various provisions, regarding the height of buildings, the construction of backyards, the occupation of basements, and other sanitary matters recently introduced into the legislation of this Colony, must not be lost sight of. Bearing all these in mind and the utmost importance of not only rendering a district sanitary at the outset but also of providing efficient means for at all times maintaining it in such a condition, I have prepared the plan* marked B shewing tinted red the area available for building purposes in the future.

   8. Referring to plans A and B, it will be seen that, with the exception of the buildings on Inland Lot 361 and 28 houses erected on Inland Lots 592 and 593, the project involves the demolition of the whole of the buildings within the resumed area.

   9. For the sake of reference, I have divided the district into 10 blocks, viz., A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K.

10. Block A, situated at the north-east corner of the district, is bounded on the north by Square Street, on the south by Bridges Street, on the east by Ladder Street, and on the west by Tank Lane.

The area of private property resumed in this block is 28,291 square feet, a portion of this it is proposed to utilize for the construction of streets and lanes, leaving 18,144 square feet, divided into 27 lots available for building purposes. These lots are 42 feet in depth by 16 feet in width, appro- ached by streets, 21 feet in width, having a gradient of 1 in 7 and abutting on lanes 15 feet in width.

   11. Block B, situated to the south of block A, and bounded on the north by Bridges Street, on the south by Market Street, on the east by Ladder Street and on the west by Tank Lane, is inter- sected by one street 21 feet in width with a gradient of 1 in 71?2, and by two lanes 15 feet in width.

   The area of private property resumed in this block is 34,443 square feet, of which, 26,460 square feet have been divided into 42 building lots, 42 feet in depth and 15 feet in width.

* Not printed.

:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1895.

263

12. Block C, to the west of block B, is 210 feet in length and 68 feet in width, bounded on the north by Taipingshan Street, on the south by Market Street, east by Tank Lane, and west by Square Street, and contains 14 building lots, 68 feet in depth and 15 feet in width. The total area of these lots is 14,280 square feet. The area of private property resumed is 18,594 square feet.

Between Square Street and Tank Lane, there is a difference of 20 feet in level at the northern end of this block and a difference of 30 feet at the southern end, practically necessitating the existence of basements, but, owing to the depth of the lots, there is no reason why these basements should not be constructed with ample provision of light, air and other sanitary requirements.

13. Block D, bounded on the north by Taipingshan Street, on the south by Market Street, on the east by Square Street and on the west by Upper Station Street, contains in all 65 building lots 45 feet in depth and 15 feet in width, having a total area of 43,875 square feet. The area of the private property resumed was 46,565 square feet.

Of the proposed building lots, 15 face Taipingshan Street, 20 East Street, 20 West Street and 10 Upper Station Street.

14. Block E, bounded on the north by Taipingshan Street, on the south by Market Street, east by Pound Lane and west by Upper Station Street, is divided into 26 building lots, 13 of which are 45 feet in depth and 15 feet in width. Three lots are 45 feet in depth and 13 feet 4 inches in width, and ten lots are 40 feet in depth and 15 feet in width, the total area being 16,575 square feet.

The area of private property resumed in this block was 18,360 square feet.

15. Block F, bounded on the north by Taipingshan Street, on the south by Station Street, on the east by Pound Lane and on the west by Inland lot 361, is divided into six building lots, three of which front on Taipingshan Street and three abut on Station Street.

   The total area of these lots is 3,253 square feet and that of the private property resumed is 4,500 square feet.

16. Block G, bounded on the north by Market Street, on the south by Caine Lane, on the west by Upper Station Street and the east by Ladder Street and Caine Lane, consists of twenty-two building lots 45 feet in depth and 15 feet in width facing Market Street, ten lots 45 feet in depth and 15 feet in width facing Tank Lane, and six lots 42 feet in depth and 15 feet in width also facing Tank Lane. The total area of these lots is 25,380 square feet and the area of private property resumed 44,930 square feet.

   17. Block H, bounded on the north by Market Street, on the south by Rutter Street, on the east by Upper Station Street and on the west by Pound Lane, consists of eighteen houses 45 feet in depth and 15 feet in width.

   The total area of these lots is 12,150 square feet and that of the private property resumed 21,600 square feet.

   18. Block I, bounded on the north by Market Street, on the south by Rutter Street, on the east by Pound Lane and on the west by Inland Lot No. 700, consists of fifteen building lots, each 45 feet in depth and 15 feet in width.

   The total area of these lots is 10,125 square feet and that of the private property resumed 20,000 square feet.

   19. Block K, bounded on the north by Station Street, on the south by Market Street, on the east by Po Yan Street and west by Pound Lane, consists of the two Inland Lots Nos. 592 and 593, with a private lane (Yun Wo Lane) intersecting the lots from east to west.

   On this property were erected comparatively recently 28 four-storied houses and 2 two-storied buildings over the private lane.

For the resumption of this property, the Board awarded $79,000 and costs against the Crown. Though the houses are not all that could be desired, I am not disposed to recommend that they be destroyed and the property laid out afresh at the present time, but recommend that the Government retain the private lane as a public one and remove the buildings erected over it at each end coloured yellow on plan.

   20. The two lots hachured red facing Market Street are the sites of two temples, and I advise that the late owners be approached with a view to their re-entry in lieu of the compensation awarded, and further advise that the title to Inland Lot No. 361 be restored to the late registered owners thereof without disturbance.

   21. In the appendix will be found a tabular statement, shewing the area of private property resumed, which does not include the two Government buildings, viz., Taipingshan Market and the old No. 8 Police Station, but includes the area of private lanes, the area available for rebuilding, the area retained for new public streets and lanes, and the proposed expenditure, this latter includes the cost of streets, drains, sewers, and water pipes divided pro rata according to the frontages of each block.

   22. It is most important, if this project receives the approval of Government, that steps should at once be taken to carry out the improvements and put the building lots up to sale by public auction.

264

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1895.

23. The question therefore presents itself: how are the existing buildings to be dealt with? Some have advocated burning; some demolition of houses; others see no reason for either of these measures but are of opinion that, now that the houses have been disinfected, and remained empty thoroughly exposed to the fresh air for several months, they might with safety be repaired, and re-occupied.

  24. The advocates of total destruction by burning have apparently based such a recommendation to a large extent upon the fact that plague has not occurred in the City of London since the fire of September 1666 immediately following the great plague of 1665, and also on the statement which was publicly made that the plague bacillus existed in the ground to a considerable depth.

  25. I would point out that the epidemics of plague, (some of which appear to have been of a similar nature to that now known as the bubonic plague), that ravaged England during the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, were not confined to the City of London, but extended more or less over the whole country, and with the one exception, that of the case of London, as far as I know, the plague has been banished from England by the enforcement of sanitary laws without resorting to fire.

  26. Further, what was the condition of the City of London in 1665? Sanitation was practically unknown, the houses were erected in narrow streets and built entirely of wood. Indeed, to those who have read the Address of Captain Sir DOUGLAS GALTON to the Society of Arts in 1886, the then chairman of that society, reviewing the history and progress of sanitation in Great Britain since the accession of Her Majesty Queen VICTORIA, it cannot but be apparent that the City of Victoria with all its sanitary defects in many respects, from a sanitary point of view, is not nearly so bad as most cities and towns in England were at the commencement of the present century.

  27. As regards the existence of the plague bacillus, Dr. YERSIN, before leaving this Colony, expressed his desire to correct a mis-statement, and stated that he had only discovered the bacillus of plague at a depth of 2 inches below the surface in the infected districts and not at a depth of a foot or 18 inches as reported. (Hongkong Weekly Press, August 8th, 1894.)

  28. The heat developed even by such a general conflagration as suggested would not penetrate below the surface of the soil to any practical extent.

  29. We next come to the total destruction of the buildings. As it happens, the project for relay- ing out the district practically necessitates the total destruction of all the buildings with few exceptions, the reconstruction of the streets, and the erection of new houses; such operations will involve the turning over of nearly the whole of the ground surface and removal of the existing old drains, so that this point need not be further considered now.

  30. As to the repair and occupation of the existing premises, such a course only appears applica- ble in a few cases, and, in view of the re-opening of upwards of 350 houses closed during the epidemic and the provisions of Ordinance 15 of 1894, I cannot at present see how any logical objection can be sustained to repairing and re-occupying the comparatively few houses that it is proposed not to destroy. And further in view of the experiments conducted by Professor S. KITASATO during his visit to Hong- kong last year as described in his preliminary notice of the bacillus of bubonic plague, there would seem little probability of the existence of the bacillus in these premises after the provisions of the above mentioned Ordinance have been enforced.

31. I therefore propose, if this project is approved, to commence operation as follows

(a) In block A, clear out of the houses all debris and light wooden work such as cubicles and

cocklofts and cause the same to be removed and destroyed.

(b) Advertise for tenders to clear the whole site of block A and sell the materials.

Remove the buildings over Yun Wo Lane, improve the lane and sell the houses and site

as they now stand, retaining the lane for the public use.

(d) As soon as block A has been cleared and the streets constructed, put up the sites in this

block to public auction.

  32. I do not propose that the Government should level the sites or construct the retaining walls beyond what is necessary for the construction of the roads, such works to be carried out by the purcha- sers of building lots.

  33. The total estimated cost of the improvements, including all drains, water mains, &c., is $83,000, materials on the ground being used as far as practicable in such works.

  I shall address you further on the subject of premium and Crown rent and the erection of a new market and public latrines in this area.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

LORD PRESIDENT

MARQUESS OF RIPON

LORD CHAMBERLAIN

LORD KENSINGTON

MR. CECIL RHODES.

WHE

EREAS by virtue of the laws repealed by this Order, certain silver dollars and other silver coins, and coins of copper or mixed metal, are legal tender in Our Colony of Hong Kong; And whereas it appears to Us, by the advice of Our Privy Council, that it is expedient to repeal the said laws and to make a law respecting the coins which are to be the subject of contract and to constitute legal tender in Our said Colony;

NOW, THEREFORE, We, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, and by virtue of all powers vested in Us in that behalf, do hereby ordain and enact as follows: And the Lords Com- missioners of Our Treasury, and The Most Honourable the Marquess of Ripon, K.G., one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, are to give the requisite directions herein accordingly.

  1.--(1.) The Mexican silver dollar of the standard weight and millesimal fineness specified in the First Schedule to this Order shall be the standard coin of Our Colony of Hong Kong, in this Order referred to as the Colony.

  (2.) Every contract, sale, payment, bill, note, instrument, and security for money, and every transaction, dealing, matter, and thing whatever relating to money, or involving the payment of or the liability to pay any money, shall, in the absence of express agreement to the contrary, be held to be made, executed, entered into, done, and had in the Colony, according to the standard coin of the Colony.

  (3.) The coins mentioned in the Second Schedule to this Order shall be treated as equal to the standard coin.

280

THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 30TH MAR., 1895.

  2. If, on the report of the Governor of the Colony, the Commissioners of Our Treasury and a Secretary of State from time to time declare that they consider any dollar not mentioned in the Second Schedule to this Order to be equivalent in value to the standard coin, or to any of the dollars therein mentioned, then, after the date fixed by the Governor in a proclamation stating the declaration, and setting forth in a schedule the same particulars with respect to the dollar as are set forth in the said Second Schedule, this Order shall apply as if the schedule in the proclamation were added to the Second Schedule to this Order.

3.-(1.) If the Governor of the Colony at any time requests that any new subsidiary coins of less value than the dollar, whether of silver, copper, or mixed metal, be coined, and the Commissioners of Our Treasury and a Secretary of State approve such request, those new coins may be so coined under the direction of the Master of Our Mint, or at one of Our Mints in British India.

  (2.) Such new coins shall have either the same impressions as the coins specified in the Third Schedule to this Order (in this Order referred to as existing coins) or such other impressions as may be approved of by the Master of Our Mint and by a Secretary of State.

(3.) Any such new coin may be of the same denomination as any existing subsidiary coin, or of a different denomination.

  (4.) Every such new coin, if of silver, shall be of the same fineness as the existing silver coins, and of a weight bearing the same proportion to the weights of those coins as the denomination of the new coin bears to the denominations of the existing coins.

(5.) As regards both the existing coins and the new coins, the remedy of fineness shall be three- thousandths, and the remedy of weight shall be such that the gross deviation in weight on such number of coins of any given denomination as amount to the value of a dollar shall not exceed that allowed on the British dollar.

4.-(1.) A tender of payment of money in the Colony, if made in the standard coin or in any coins specified in the Second or Third Schedule to this Order, shall, if the coins have not been dealt with in any manner prohibited by law, and if of silver have not become diminished in weight by wear or otherwise, so as to be of less weight than the weight in that behalf specified in the Schedules to this Order as the least current weight, be a legal tender-

(a) in the case of dollars, for the payment of any amount;

(b) in the case of the other silver coins, for the payment of an amount not exceeding two

dollars, but for no greater amount;

(c) in the case of coins of copper or mixed metal, for the payment of an amount not exceed-

ing one dollar, but for no greater amount.

(2.) Each coin shall be a legal tender only for the amount of its denomination.

(3.) If any new coins are coined, this article shall, after the date fixed by the Governor in a proclamation made with the approval of the Commissioners of Our Treasury and a Secretary of State setting forth in a schedule the same particulars with respect to each coin as are set forth in the Third Schedule to this Order, apply to the new coins as if the schedule to the proclamation were added to that Third Schedule.

5. On the commencement of this Order the laws specified in the Fourth Schedule to this Order and all other laws regulating legal tender in the Colony shall cease to be in force.

6. Nothing in this Order, nor any repeal of law by this Order, shall affect any liability incurred, contract made, or other thing done before the commencement of this Order.

7. In this Order-

The expression "Governor" means the Governor of the Colony, and includes the officer for

the time being administering the government of the Colony.

The expression "Secretary of State" means one of Our Principal Secretaries of State. Words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the singular.

8. This Order may be cited as the Hong Kong (Coinage) Order, 1895.

9. This Order shall come into operation on the first day of April one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, or any earlier day on which it is proclaimed in the Colony by the Governor, and that day is in this Order referred to as the commencement of the Order.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 30th March, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith for your Excellency's information my report on the work of this department for the

year 1894.

REVENUE.

The revenue collected during the year amounted to $82,456.86. In Table I. (A.), (B.), (C.) will be found a comparative statement of the revenue for 1893 and 1894, together with a detailed account of the revenue derived from boats and markets. The revenue for 1894 shows an increase of $699.21 over that for 1893, which may be considered satisfactory in view of the fact that the Colony was visited during several months of the year by an epidemic of bubonic plague, which naturally had a prejudicial effect on the revenue and prevented the increase being as large as it otherwise would have been. The chief increase is in the revenue derived from markets, viz., $1,545.01, which is due to many of the holdings in the markets having become vacant owing to the decease of the holders and to higher rents being obtained when they were again put up to tender. The Taipingshan market was closed in July on account of the plague. The new Central Market is now approaching completion and will be soon ready for occupation. The Western market, which is the one most used by the Chinese population of Victoria, has seen its best days and ought to be renewed. It is to be hoped that when the new Central Market has been completed, the question of the advisability of erecting a new Western market will receive early consideration.

WOMEN AND GIRLS' PROTECTION Ordinance.

(No. 11 of 1890.)

Under instructions from the Secretary of State the sections of this Ordinance dealing with the registration of brothels were repealed.

Under Part II. of the Ordinance 167 women and girls were detained and were disposed of as shown in Table II. (A).

The number of girls handed over to guardians under section 19 of the Ordinance now amounts to 96 as compared with 111 in 1893. Table II. (B) shows how this number has been reduced.

   The number of persons reported to be missing, shown in Table II. (C) is smaller this year than in 1893. This may be due to the check to emigration from this Colony caused by the plague.

PO LEUNG KUK INCORPORATION ORDINANCE.

(No. 18 of 1893.)

The Ordinance incorporating the Po Leung Kuk came into force on the 31st March, 1894, and has worked smoothly and satisfactorily. Owing to the existence of the plague and certain difficulties with regard to the proposed site, it has not been possible to commence the building of a new Home for women and girls, but it is hoped that the work will be commenced without much further delay.

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

   The number of women, girls and boys passed by the Harbour Master's Department assisted by an officer from this department is given in Table III. The number passed was 6,455 as compared with 9,109 in 1893.

304

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

POPULATION.

  The population of the Colony on the 31st December, estimated on the average increase in the population between 1857-91, was as follows:-

British and Foreign (including Army and Navy). 10,782

Chinese.

Total.

246,006

235,224

MARRIAGES.

(Ordinance No. 14 of 1875.)

The total number of marriages in 1894 was 61 as compared with 84 in 1893. Attention has on more than one occasion been called to the present unsatisfactory state of the marriage law in this Colony, which only allows marriages in cases where one of the parties is a Christian. I am of opinion that the law should be amended so as to recognise marriages in cases in which neither of the parties is a Christian.

BIRTHS.

(Ordinance No. 7 of 1872.)

In Table IV. will be found a return of the births registered during 1894. Among the British and foreign community the total number of registered births was 205-males 121, females 84-which shows a decrease of 21 as compared with the births in 1893.

The registered number of births among the Chinese was 1,250 as against 1,575 in 1893.

DEATHS.

(Ordinance No. 7 of 1872.)

Table IV. contains the number of deaths registered during the year 1894.

The number of deaths among the British and foreign community numbered 251, or 59 in excess of the previous year. Among the Chinese 7,156, or 1,926 more than in 1893, the large increase being due to the mortality from bubonic plague, which in Victoria claimed 2,508 victims.

The annual rates for births and deaths per 1,000 of the estimated population are 5.91 and 30.11 respectively.

BURIALS.

Of the 6,243 deaths which occurred among the Chinese in Victoria, 6,058 were buried in the Colony, 130 were sent out of the Colony, and 55 were reported as being in the Mortuary awaiting interment or removal.

EXHUMATIONS.

139 permits were granted during the year to exhume dead remains for removal to China or for re-burial in the Colony. In each case a reference was made to the Sanitary Superintendent before a permit was issued.

MORTALITY STATISTICS For Victoria.

Table V. (4) shows the number of deaths of Chinese under the age of 12 months in Victoria. The decrease in the numbers, compared with those of 1893, is probably due to the population being greatly diminished owing to the plague during some months of the year. The proportion of deaths of male infants under one year of age to 100 females is 63.9. The number of registered births of males to 100 females is 126.46.

The mortality at different ages is given in Table V. (B). No attempt has been made to calculate the rates of mortality, the population having fluctuated so largely. The mortality from the plague was 2,508, and that from other causes 3,462. The total mortality was 5,970 compared with 4,135 in 1893. The first death from the plague was registered on the 11th May, and the last on the 2nd October. Between the ages of 6 and 40 the rate of death from the plague was greater than that from other causes. Above that age the rate was less. The mortality among children, especially among females, between the ages of 6 and 16 was very large.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

HOSPITAL DEATIIS.

305

  In Table VI. will be found a return of the number of hospital deaths which amounted to 2,926, or 40.9 per cent. of the total mortality for the year. Most of these deaths occurred in the hospitals which were used temporarily for patients suffering from the plague.

  Table VII. gives the number of patients under treatment in the Tung Wa Hospital during 1894, and shows that the total under treatment was 2,459; total discharged 1,259; total deaths 1,092 or 44.41 per cent. of the total number admitted.

  Table VIII. (A) shows the causes of death. 217 deaths out of the total of 251 among the British and foreign community and 3,046 deaths out of the total of 6,243 among the Chinese in Victoria were certified to by medical certificates or by the Coroner.

VACCINATION ORDINANCE.

(No. 5 of 1890.)

  Table IX shows that during the year 786 vaccination notices were issued, and that 845 certificates of successful vaccination were received. There were no prosecutions under the Ordinance.

REGISTRATION OF BOOKS.

(Ordinance No. 10 of 1888.)

During 1894, 63 books were published as against 44 in 1893, lists of which have been published in the Gazette.

REGISTRATION OF HOUSEHolders. (Ordinance No. 13 of 1888, Chapter III.)

Table X (4) contains a return of-

(a) The first registration of householders (b) The re-registration of householders; (c) Extract from Householders' Register; (d) Removals of householders ;

(e) Duplicate householders' certificates issued;

(f) Changes in tenancy reported.

Table X (B) shows that the number of Chinese shops opened was 1,031 and the number closed 862, an excess in favour of shops opened of 169. The number of shops opened and closed in 1893 was 1,128 and 936 respectively.

NIGHT PASSES.

(Ordinance No. 13 of 1888, Chapter VI.)

   During the year 785 applications for night passes, as compared with 88 in 1893, were received and dealt with. This large increase in the number of applications is due to the law dealing with night passes being more strictly enforced.

PERMITS.

(Ordinance No. 13 of 1888, Chapter

To erect sheds,

DISTRICT WATCHMEN.

(Ordinance No. 13 of 1888, Chapter IV.) ... :

   The District Watchmen were instrumental in bringing 350 cases before the Magistrate. Two Chinese newspapers-the Tsun Wan Yat Po and the Wai San Yat Po-kindly publish weekly lists of cases brought before the Magistrate by the District Watchmen for the information of subscribers to the District Watchmen's fund. The District Watchmen Committee also received the thanks of the Government for the help rendered to the Police by the District Watchmen during the riot which occurred early in the year, and two of the members of the Force-Head District Watchman LAM ON, and District Watchman P'UN HING-were specially rewarded by the Government on the recommenda- tion of the Captain Superintendent of Police for their assistance in the arrest of those concerned in the Wing Lok Street robbery. From these two instances, I think it may be fairly inferred that there is now more co-operation between the Police and the District Watchmen than formerly. The District Watchmen Committee is most anxious that such co-operation should not only continue but be increased.

   The revenue of the District Watchmen Fund amounted last year to $8,115.60. A sum of $7,508.10 having been contributed by the various shops. This is an increase of $2.82 over the con- tributions for 1893. The expenditure was $9,341.51 being an excess over revenue of $1,225.91, which was met out of the accumulated balances of the fund. A full statement of the accounts of the fund will be found in Table XI (4), and Table XI (B) shows the present state of the Force, the number dismissed and resigned, and those who died during the year. The collector for the fund and two watchmen died from the plague.

CHINESE RECREATION GRound.

307

   The buildings suffered in the typhoons last year and were repaired at a cost of $250. The cooking-stalls were so badly damaged that they had to be pulled down. The question of abolishing cooking-stalls was considered by the Committee which is consulted regarding the management of this ground; but, as they fulfil a useful purpose, it has been decided to allow food to continue to be sold on the paved space in the centre of the ground. 76 stalls are let out of a total of 105, in addition to the "story telling" pavilion which is occupied all day. 12 permits have been issued for the sale of various articles and two for jugglers.

   The revenue from the stalls, &c. amounted to $2,189.81 as compared with $2,404.35 in 1893, while the expenditure amounted to $1,469.17, $1,000 being a repayment to Government of a portion of the loan of $6,000 advanced in 1890 for the improvement of the ground. This loan will be all paid off this year, and the fund will be free from debt.

GENERAL WORK.

   The amount of translation work was about the same as last year. 1,342 petitions on various subjects were received during the year as compared with 1,200 in 1893.

   Table XII (A) gives an account of the Market Charitable Fund, and Table XII (B) an account of the money recovered on passage tickets of women and girls detained on board ship or at the Emigration Office. The former fund shows a balance in hand of $1,584.55, and the latter a balance in hand of $207.76.

STAFF.

   I returned from leave on the 30th January and took over from Mr. THOMSON the duties of Registrar General. LAM TSUN, one of the Chinese writers, died of plague.

   The office of second clerk has been abolished, and the holder of it, Mr. MADAR, has been trans- ferred to the Supreme Court. One of the posts of inspector has also been abolished. Inspector HORTON, who had been attached to this Office for many years and who always performed his duties satisfactorily, retired on pension. The saving thus effected will amount to $3,072 per annum.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The following Report of the Harbour Master for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 11th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th April, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

No. 75.

SHIPPING.

2. The total of arrivals and sailings amounted to 14,248,670 tons, or a decrease on 1893 of of 100,452 tons. There were 31,470 arrivals with a tonnage of 7,123,748 tous, and 31,321 departures of 7,124,922 tons.

The decrease in tonnage in European constructed vessels is 66,677 tons, the numerical decrease is 306; and although 106 of these latter are British, still British shipping on the whole shows an actual increase of 46,201 tons, the increase in the size of ships as indicated last year, having been continued.

The foreign junk trade shows a decrease of 1,336 vessels measuring 5,883 tons, here also an increase in individual bulk is indicated. If the decrease was fairly apportioned, tonnage to numbers, the decrease of 1,336 would average slightly over 4 tons a-piece, whilst the 45,861 actually shown averages a trifle under 76 tons a-piece. Similarly the decrease in the local junk trade (1,408 vessels measuring 27,892 tons) seems to indicate the retirement of the smaller craft, the decrease averaging slightly over 19 tons a-piece, and the vessels engaged averaging over 35 tons a-piece, presumably there- fore increased size means increased economy even with Chinese craft.

   7. Compared with the average of the past three years, the foreign junk trade shows an increase of 167,724 tons and a decrease of 69 vessels, the increased size of all the newer craft has already been noted. The local trade for the same period has decreased 187,774 tons with 4,966 vessels.

   8. The foreign junk trade for 1894 shows a decrease from the previous year of 1,336 vessels and 5,883 tons, doubtless more or less directly due to the Plague.

   9. The decrease in the local trade for 1894 below 1893, of 1,408 vessels with 27,892 tons, is the result also of the Plague, and partly of the decrease in work on the Praya Reclamation.

TRADE.

   10. 4,132 steamers, 93 sailing vessels and 23,023 junks arrived during the year, giving a daily average of 75 vessels arriving as against 90 the previous year. For European constructed vessels the average daily entries would be 11.57 as against in 1893, 11.97. Of the steamers 71.9% were British, and 33 were River craft, all of which latter were also British.

   11. The trade of the Colony in 1894 was influenced by two special and memorable events, viz., the Plague and the War.

   It is difficult, if not impossible, yet to apportion the respective "spheres of influence" of these two events, for some time they ran concurrently, though perhaps with contrary results. There can, however, be no doubt as to which influence made itself most felt.

   The port was proclaimed infected with bubonic plague on 10th May, and the shipping returns for that quarter showed a decrease in arrivals of 51 European vessels and 251 junks. It was not, however, until later that the full effect on shipping was made apparent, and the September quarter showed an additional falling off of 375 European vessels and 1,824 junks. During this quarter both influences were at work, and, until the 12th September, our shipping trade remained under a ban. With the raising of the quarantine blockade," however, things began to improve, and at the end of December we had reduced our deficit in arrivals for the year to 306 European vessels and 1,336 junks.

14. Following up the attempt which was made in my last report to gauge the trade of the Colony by means of Import and Export Returns, I am enabled by means of somewhat elaborate statistics, compiled by the Assistant Harbour Master, to give more complete returns for 1894. As before stated these do not profess absolute correctness, and they are obtained through the courtesy of the agents and masters.

In Returns Nos. I and II, and V and VI will be found, in addition to the customary information as to registered tonnage, &c., the amount of cargo reported as "shipped," "discharged," and "in transit" to and from each country with which trade relations exist, and I hope that the information will be valued in proportion to the amount of time and trouble expended in its compilation.

During the year, 8,452 European constructed vessels aggregating 10,469,182 tons, carried 1,384,706

12. The river steamers, during the second half of the year, show a decrease of 27 entries aggregating 10,036 tons, owing in a great measure to the restriction on this branch of trade unavoidably made by the method adopted of examining all vessels, as far as practicable, arriving from the Canton River and its neighbourhood.

These river steamers, on the other hand, had the benefit of the general exodus of Chinese from Hongkong and their subsequent return, and though the passenger returns were not so good as in the previous year, they yet reached the very respectable total of 941,958 carried. Some of these vessels also minimised their losses by a special mode of retrenchment, as remarkable for its ingenuity as for the small result attained. The "night boats" (which are the only ones which pay light dues and that at very reduced rate) finding that they would not be permitted to enter the harbour until the passengers had been medically inspected, remained in Chinese waters until daylight absolved them by law from paying their small contribution to the revenue of the Colony, the saving thus effected aggregated $1,204.44. The report would not be complete without my mentioning that there was one "night boat" which did not adopt this plan and she was the Chinese owned Tai On.

It will be seen from the second of these tables that 1894 opened very favourably, the first quarter showing a nett increase of 94 vessels of 114,149 tons, and thus that, at one time, there might have been expected an increase over last year of three quarters of a million of tons in European constructed vessels, which would almost certainly have brought in its train a corresponding increase in the junk trade. Unfortunately, from causes already referred to, this expectation was not realized.

STEAM LAUNCHES.

   19. On the 31st December, there were 131 steam launches employed in the harbour, of these 60- were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 55 were privately owned, 11 were the property of the Colonial Government, also a floating fire engine, and 5 belonged to the Imperial Government in charge of the military authorities.

All these launches, except those which belonged to Her Majesty or any Foreign Government, are required to have a certificated master and engineer whose certificates are liable to suspension or cancel- lation should they prove negligent or incompetent. During the year one master was reprimanded and cautioned. The generally seamanlike manner in which these launches are handled deserves a word of commendation. I regret to say they don't always observe the "rule of the road"; but this very fact, taken together with their absence from accident, to a great extent points towards good judgment, and

are, after all, not an unfair criterion.

EMIGRATION.

   20. There has been, as might be expected, a great falling off in emigration. For the three months June, July and August, emigration was practically stayed; the last three months of the year, however, made some amends, and finally the numbers amounted to 49,023 as against 82,336 in 1893, a decrease of 33,313; but it was not much under 1892, and it was better than the three years immediately preceding that one.

During the year, 451 ships reported having brought to Hongkong 96,095 Chinese passengers from various places to which they had emigrated.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE No. 26 of 1891.

24. The following Courts have been held during the

year :-

i. On the 19th February, inquiry as to the collision between the British steamship Hangchow, Official No. 91,878 of London, and an unknown vessel on the night of the 7th February off Breaker Point. The Master's (CHARLES JAMES DERBY) certificate of competency was returned to him.

ii. On the 7th December, inquiry as to the grounding of the British steamship Zafiro, Official No. 88,829 of Hongkong, off Mount Bremer near Quarry Bay, Hongkong, on the 14th November. The Master's (ALEXANDER WILLIAM ROSS COBBAN) certificate of competency was returned to him.

SUNDAY CARGO-WORKING ORDINANCE, 1891.

25. During the year, 110 "permits" were issued, 20 were not availed of, owing to its being found unnecessary for the ship to work cargo on the Sunday, and the fee paid for the "permit" was refunded in each of these cases.

30 "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.

26. The question of "bunker coal" was once more to the front. We have now on record the opinion of two Police Magistrates that "bunker coal" is not "cargo." The legislature, however, remains silent on the point.

:

340

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

66

27. Another, and rather novel, experience was gained during the year in connection with these Sunday permits. A "compradore order," having been tendered and accepted in payment of the fee, was on presentation by the Bank to the drawers refused acceptance, and the reason given was First already paid." The order was afterwards passed on to the Crown Solicitor, and, I believe, with satis- factory results.

'Compradore orders," however, are not now received in payment of these fees.

28. The amount collected in fees during the year was $13,375, nearly double what it was in 1893. The intention of the Ordinance was, I believe, to put a stop, or nearly so, to Sunday work on board European vessels in the harbour, and the fee originally fixed was thought to be a prohibitive one. It is evident that it is not so, however, and, if I am correct in my surmise as to the intention of the Ordinance, I think the fee should be doubled.

SEAMEN.

29. 14,670 seamen were shipped and 15,835 discharged at the Shipping Office and on board ships during the year.

30. 239 distressed seamen were received during the year; of these 78 were sent to the United Kingdom, 1 to Sydney, 2 to San Francisco, 5 to Bombay, 7 to Calcutta, 4 to Singapore, 4 died and 131 obtained employment, and 7 remained at the Government Civil Hospital on the 31st December, 1894. $6,798.00 were expended by the Board of Trade in the relief of these men.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.

31. 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.

32. It is necessary that I should explain with reference to this return, that although the number of vessels surveyed during 1894 was less than in some previous years, the tonnage and horse power repre- sented by these vessels exceeded any former records.

33. I would further like to reproduce in this report extracts from a report made by me on the subject of the Government Marine Surveyors in a letter dated 14th June, 1892.

66

66

*

*

*

*

*

 "The duties of these surveyors, I am convinced, are very onerous, the inspection of boilers and engines, especially during the hot weather, being most trying.

"The conditions also under which these surveys are held at Hongkong are peculiar; owing to the "short time that vessels as a rule remain in port. In order to save time, applications for survey are constantly received before the vessel's arrival, and it frequently happens that the completion of the "survey is the final act before she again leaves. They cannot even afford to wait for their passenger "certificates, clearances being frequently granted them by me on receipt of a report from the surveyor

that the requirements of the law have been complied with.

66

66

66

"It is, therefore, most important that the work of surveying vessels should be carried on as expe- ditiously as possible, and the importance of these surveys renders it imperative that the examination "should be thorough; in order to insure these conditions it is necessary that there should be an adequate and efficient staff. It will be seen from the report of Mr. DIXON attached hereto that the survey of a "vessel for passenger certificate occupies himself and his assistant 8 hours, spread over a number of "visits, about four. The time consumed, however, on this work is often considerably in excess of this 8 "hours, as the ships may be anywhere between the Hunghom Docks and Aberdeen. Other surveys

though not occupying so much time, in each case, are made under somewhat similar circumstances.

"There are four local Marine Surveyors carrying on business in Hongkong; in addition to these, "some of the steamship companies employ special surveyors for their vessels. The Government Marine Surveyors practically do a very large proportion of the amalgamated work of all these, having at the "same time to so arrange that if possible there should be no delay or inconvenience to any one. No

easy matter in a place where, as may be expected, each owner or agent considers his own interest as paramount."

common.

These opinions expressed by me in 1892 I have to reiterate in 1895; the work of the Government Marine Surveyors goes on increasing, and "overtime" and Sunday work are becoming more and more

In 1890 the gross tonnage surveyed amounted to 168,098, in 1894 it was 204,623 tons. Statistics issued by the Board of Trade show that, at Liverpool, during the eleven months January- November, 1894, there were 423 vessels surveyed for passenger certificate, with an approximate gross tonnage of 1,015,200 and indicated horse power of about 846,000. In the performance of this work I am informed there are no less than eleven engineer and shipwright surveyors employed.

During the same period at Cardiff the numbers were 160, the gross tonnage surveyed for passenger certificate was about 320,000 tons, and the horse power 140,000. At this port there are 6 surveyors.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

341

At Hongkong for the same period, the number of vessels for survey was 112, with a gross tonnage of 201,600 tons, and indicated horse power of 140,000. For this work we have one surveyor and one assistant surveyor.

Thus at Liverpool there are about 40 vessels of 92,000 tons per surveyor, at Cardiff 27 vessels of 53,000 tons, while at Hongkong, with all its disadvantages of climate, &c., we have 56 vessels of over 100,000 tons to each surveyor.

   A consideration of these facts can, I think, only lead to an improvement in the pay of our Surveyors or an increase in the staff.

   35. Under this heading I desire to make a few remarks, the gist of which have already been put forward by me in previous reports.

   The subject of the tax on shipping is one that, I think, deserves attention. In my opinion the pre- sent tax of light dues" is an "ill-conditioned" one, and an even larger amount of revenue than at present could be collected on a more equitable basis.

   The principle advocated by me presents itself more and more forcibly as exchange gets lower and lower, and it means the amelioration of "local traders."

At present all European vessels, excepting river steamers, pay a tax of 2 cents a ton, which tax is called "light dues." The revenue derived from this tax is one of the important items of the income of the Colony. It is larger than its name implies, and, "extraordinary works" excepted, it is consider- ably in excess of what is required for the maintenance of the lighthouses for which the Colony is responsible.

   A larger revenue, for general purposes, might be raised, and, at the same time, a, to my mind, more equitable tax levied, by the substitution of a periodical payment, based, as light dues are, on

'tonnage," but on an entirely different principle.

66

At the present time the local traders, whose carnings are in local currency, whose shares are held locally, and most of whom purchase their stores and supplies in the Colony, are on the same currency footing as the "trunk liners" some of whom lie here for lengthened periods paying "per entry" the same as the local traders, while the bulk of their earnings are in gold, their stores purchased in Europe or America, and probably most important consideration of all, whose owners or shareholders are not concerned with the prosperity of the trade of Hongkong beyond the extent to which for the time being it offers them a remunerative field as carriers.

66

    Comparisons are odious," but for purposes of illustration are nevertheless at times necessary. I hope, therefore, I will be excused for making use of them in the present case.

A P. & O. mail steamer enters this port and pays 2 cents a ton for that one entry, she proceeds to Shanghai and pays 66 cents a ton, this would clear her for 4 months in all Chinese treaty ports, but, as she does not go to these, it practically amounts to her entry at Shanghai, and she can only return once during the 4 months for which the "chop" holds good.

342

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

  A Canadian Pacific Railway steamer enters Shanghai, pays 66 cents a ton for a few hours, and proceeding to Hongkong, lies here three weeks at a cost of 2 cents a ton. The entry at Shanghai on the return voyage reduces the cost of the "Grand Chop" to 33 cents, but only by making 2 complete trips in 4 months can she reduce her payment to China to about 30 per cent. more than for these trips she has paid in this British port.

So much for the "trunk liners."

  On the other hand, a "Douglas" or "Indo-China" steamer enters, pays the same 2 cents a ton, remains here for 12 or 24 hours, and, returning again in three days from Canton or the Coast, has to again pay light dues.

A quarterly or half-yearly port tax, seems, therefore, to be the fairest. Vessels could then go in and out continually, availing themselves of the lights, or lie in harbour occupying space, as may seem best for the peculiar circumstances of each branch of trade. But, of course, that tax could not remain at 24

cents a ton.

  Then again as to the present dues paid by river steamers. Twenty years ago or thereabouts when light dues were first imposed on European shipping, (junks had contributed to the revenue for 8 years previous to this), these river steamers were given exceptional rates in order to foster a particular trade. That trade has now arrived at a position quite capable of paying a fair share of the expenses of a Govern- ment under the agis of which it was created.

  At the present rate of light dues these vessels, under the special privilege of paying only one-third of the fixed rate, and that only for those of them which arrive at night, (all the other being free of the port,) paid last year $3,506 for a total tonnage arriving, amounting to considerably over a million and a half of tons, or at the rate of less than of a cent per ton, and side by side with this they have been paying, if my

information is correct, about $17,000 at Canton for the same period.

  They thus contribute to the Chinese revenue about 5 times more than to the revenue of the Colony whose flag they fly and the protection of whose laws they crave.

I am not advocating the cause of the Chinese methods of obtaining revenue, I merely wish to illustrate to those, who are accustomed to hear a sort of "commination service" read, having the "freedom of the port" for its theme, how very mild our methods are in Hongkong.

  36. The lighthouses were maintained as usual during the year. The new lenses for Gap Rock, to replace those injured by the typhoon in October 1893, arrived from England and the light was restored to its original condition of efficiency in May.

37. Telegraphic and telephonic communication, with some few breaks, has also been kept up with the Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar during the year. From the former station, 373 vessels have been reported as passing, and in addition 233 messages were received and 1,915 sent, including the daily weather report for the Observatory.

From Cape D'Aguilar 983 vessels were reported, and in addition 31 messages were sent and 106 received.

38. The means of communication with Gap Rock are not, in my opinion, satisfactory. In 1893 severe damage was sustained by the Light and buildings, and the keepers' were in a position of no little danger. Telegraphic communication being broken by the typhoon, information of the state of things only reached Hongkong through the courtesy of the captain of the P. & O. steamer Clyde, who, in answer to a signal, sent a boat to communicate with the Rock. With considerable difficulty the immediate wants of the keepers were relieved the following day.

Now, the station is in more or less danger from every typhoon which affects Hongkong, and we ought to be in the best possible position to satisfy ourselves as to their condition at any time during a typhoon, and to send succour to them if necessary immediately the weather permits. Such a position we are not in at the present time, the more severe the typhoon and thus the greater the danger to the keepers, the more likelihood is there that the telegraphic communication will be interrupted, and, with that condition of things, the people may be in the greatest peril without our knowledge, and if, as happened on one occasion, the Fame could not be spared by the Dock Company until 24 hours after the weather had moderated, the knowledge might eventually come too late.

The Light has been established at considerable expense, no reasonable expenditure should be grudged to ensure its efficiency and the safety of those in whose charge it is.

The station was not damaged to a great extent by the typhoons of 1894, though in the one of 4th to 5th October the sea was washing up to the buildings, the derrick was carried away, and other minor damage was sustained.

  40. There has been no change in the staff of the Harbour Department during the year under review. The first Boarding Officer and the Principal Lightkeeper have been granted leave of absence to England.

  The Assistant Harbour Master has continued to perform the duties of the Second Magistrate, an arrangement which when assented to by me was thought would be merely temporary but which has now lasted for nearly 3 years. The arrangement is unsatisfactory. Captain HASTINGS by working out of hours is able to perform those duties which are independent of the Harbour Master, such as the compila- tion of statistical records, the arrangement of the buoys in the harbour (nearly all of which were relaid last year) and so on; but, as he is generally absent from the Harbour Office for half of the usual office hours, he is unable to take up the general management of the details of the Department, which I take to be the meaning of the words "to assist the Harbour Master in the performance of his various duties," and which is the first of the Assistant Harbour Master's duties as laid down.

  Opinions have from time to time been expressed as to the abolition of the post of Assistant Harbour Master, and at times even those who have not sufficient knowledge of the subject to entitle their opinion to serious consideration, have nevertheless not refrained from expressing it.

  Whatever opinion, however, may be held on that point one thing I think is certain, namely, that an Assistant Harbour Master who is not in a position to fully assist in duties connected with the Harbour Department, is an anomaly, and places the Harbour Master in a false position.

  The following opinion expressed by me to the Retrenchment Commission appears in their report. As these opinions are sometimes lost sight of, and as I hold this one strongly still, it may I think well find a place of record in this annual report.

*

*

*

  "I consider that with much advantage both to the public and the Government service the Water "Police might be made a branch of the Harbour Department and the Harbour Master appointed Super- "intendent and the Assistant Harbour Master Deputy Superintendent and practical head thereof.

344

66

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

The duties of the Water Police are primarily the proper discipline of the Harbour and the vessels "therein and the prevention of disorder and confusion; this embraces such matters as (i) regulation "of fairways; (ii) supervision of passenger traffic; (iii) overloading; (iv) shipment, transhipment and discharge of dangerous goods; (v) illegal boarding of vessels; (vi) improperly crowding ships or buoys "and all the other offences in the waters of the Colony' embraced in section 28 of the Merchant Shipping

Ordinance.

66

6

"All these duties connected with offences against the Ordinance are within the purview of the "Harbour Department, but that Department has no executive authority in most cases and no machinery "to enforce the provisions of the Ordinance which it is specially designed to carry out, viz., 'the control "and management of the waters of the Colony and the regulation of vessels navigating the same. "When breaches occur which this Department desires to take action on, applications have to be made through the heads of the departments concerned. Delay ensues on such communications, two sets of "orders have to be given, and in nine cases out of ten the opportunity has passed before action can be taken, and the public only knows of the laches and condeinns, being ignorant of the well-meant but "cumbrous efforts made by the two Government Departments concerned.

66

66

66

That is one argument in favour of placing the Water Police under the Harbour Master. A second "and perhaps more cogent one is that the advisability of placing a body of men under an officer who "is practically familiar with the duties which his subordinates have to perform must be the best method "of obtaining the most favourable results.

??

66

and it is only reasonable to suppose that the Harbour Master, a specially qualified man constantly requiring the Water Police to assist him in the due discharge of his duties and who has an assistant "in daily personal and active intercourse with the shipping and craft amongst which the Water Police "have to do duty, would be the most fitting head for that force."

"

   The Committee in their report stated, with reference to my suggestion" We beg to state that we "have no hesitation in recording our decisions that no change should be made in the existing system (Police); yet not one word of explanation was asked of me, nor one question on the subject put to either myself or the Assistant Harbour Master when our evidence was taken, while a reference to the published evidence of the Captain Superintendent of Police and the Deputy Superintendent, will show that a considerable number of questions, some of which, I think, might be almost termed "leading" were put to these officers, with the apparent object of proving how puerile and unsupportable my suggestion was. To my mind, the answers to these, however, only showed how frail was the argument advanced against my suggestion, the real meaning of which, apparently, both the Retrenchment Commission and the Police officers entirely failed to grasp. And, it may be observed, the evidences of myself and of Captain HASTINGS were taken more than 2 months after the Captain Superintendent had given his views on my proposal.

   There is, in my opinion, necessity for continuing the post of Assistant Harbour Master, and I am further of opinion that, by placing the Harbour Police under the control of the Harbour Master and making the Assistant Harbour Master their practical Head, efficiency would be increased, anomalies removed, and, very probably, economy effected.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 146.

367

The following Medical Report on the Epidemic of Bubonic Plague in 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 11th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th April, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 2nd March, 1895.

SIR,

I have the honour to forward to you Dr. Lowson's report upon the late Plague epidemic in this Colony.

It reflects the greatest credit on its author for the care with which the records have been kept from the beginning, the practical way in which the symptoms, progress and treatment of the disease and its post mortem appearances have been treated, and the recommendations that have been made to prevent its occurrence in the future.

The necessity for remedying the results of faulty construction of the houses in the Chinese quarters, the want of ventilation, light and air in them, the impossibility' of keeping them clean and wholesome, the inadequate water supply, the want of proper drainage, the overcrowded condition of the houses, the filthy condition of wells, the necessity for proper latrine accommodation, and the enormous amount of filth collected in the houses have now been fully revealed. I first called the atten- tion of Government to the state of things I have mentioned in my report dated the 15th April, 1874, within six months of my arrival in this Colony. In this report I mentioned by name the streets and lanes, and the position of many gullies without a name in that portion of Taipingshan which has now been walled in, and the condition of filth in which I found the houses, also streets and alleys in other portions of the town; almost the same state of things was found in 1894. Yet a further special report was sent in by a Commission appointed to verify the state- ments made in my report which was sent in in May 1875. In 1880 Mr. CHAD- WICK arrived with a Royal Commission to investigate the condition of things described, and his full report to the Secretary of State appeared in a Blue Book. Six years afterwards he again visited the Colony and expressed his surprise at finding how little had been done to remedy the state of things he had described, and again reported on them. Many laws have been made in the twenty years previous to 1894 to remedy the insanitary state of the Colony, but most have remained dead letters owing to the difficulties of enforcing them and the prejudices of the Chinese especially and other sections of the community.

Since 1874 the divisions of the City of Victoria inhabited by Chinese have increased more than three fold in size, and the new portions are in nearly as bad a condition as the old.

The labours of Hercules in cleansing the Augean stables were a trifle com- pared with that which the Government has to contend with in the near future in cleansing the City of Victoria and other inhabited portions of the Colony.

Another report from the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board will describe the work done by those working under their supervision.

Dr. Lowson's report is a most interesting and valuable addition to medical literature, and will no doubt receive the commendations it deserves. He was most unsparing of himself during the progress of the epidemic and untiring in his efforts to render assistance to all who were working under his superintendence. The work done by him during this trying period cannot be too well recognised.

That the latrines are a source of propagating the infection as described by Dr. Lowson there is no doubt, and proof is afforded by the dates of the closing of the surrounding houses. I found on inquiry that during the end of May and the beginning of June, when the prevailing winds were from the east and north, the houses to the west and south of the latrines were closed and afterwards, when the prevailing winds were from the south and west, the houses to the north and east of

368

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

·

the latrines were closed, being found infected and more than three deaths having occurred in each of them. Mr. RAM made elaborate plans of the City of Victoria showing where the plague existed, and the proportion of houses in each district that were infected.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

PH. B. C. AYRES, Colonial Surgeon.

The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 1st March, 1895.

SIR,

I have the honour to forward herewith for your information a Report upon the Epidemic of Plague in Hongkong in 1894, so far as it concerns the medical work which I carried out under your directions.

I regret extremely that several important matters-including the epidemiology of the disease-which I could have wished to discuss at some length, have been touched upon very superficially, or passed over altogether in this Report. I will ask you to accept as an excuse for my shortcomings in these respects the following facts of which you are, I believe, already cognizant :-

(a) The overworked condition of the Medical Department during the Epidemic, and at the present time has necessitated my writing most of these pages during odd half hours which would, under other circumstances, have been devoted to recreation or repose. (b) The proofs have had to be corrected during a period of convalescence

succeeding a prolonged attack of malarial fever.

(c) The temperature charts and pulse tracings have been reproduced with some difficulty with the scanty appliances at the command

of the local printers.

I have written strongly-as I feel strongly-concerning the existence and con- dition of the Tung Wa Hospital, but you will understand that my objections to that institution are based entirely upon professional grounds. Conducted as it is at present, under the patronage and protection of the local Government, a certain amount of countenance is, or at any rate appears to be, lent to what I can only describe as medical and surgical atrocities. In addition to this, I believe that it constitutes a serious menace to the health of the community. I should, however, be sorry to have it supposed that I do not recognise the fact that where a large native population is concerned, some deference has to be paid to the inclinations, and even to the prejudices, of the majority. Personally I believe, however, that a scheme might be devised which would satisfy the wishes of the Chinese without sacrificing the sanitary well-being of the Colony; and I think that it is a matter for congratu- lation that the publicity that has been recently given to the system under which the institution in question has been conducted in the past has already resulted in a marked improvement in the direction of order and cleanliness. In reading over the pages which I send you herewith I am fully conscious that I have expressed myself some- what uncompromisingly upon this and upon some other topics; but I have thought (and I hope that in this I shall have your concurrence) that in writing a medical report I am perhaps justified in taking a purely scientific view of the questions. under discussion, leaving it to others to advance what is to be said (and I do not doubt that something is to be said) upon the side of expediency and public policy.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

JAMES A. LOWSON,

Medical Officer in charge of Epidemic Hospital and Acting Superintendent of Government Civil Hospital and

Lunatic Asylums.

Dr. Pr. B. C. AYRES, C.M.G.,

Colonial Surgeon.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895,

THE EPIDEMIC OF BUBONIC PLAGUE IN HONGKONG, 1894.

To write an historical introduction upon the subject of Plague should at the present moment be an easy matter, considering the many classical monographs and articles which have been written upon it within the last century.

When the pre-

sent outbreak occurred in Hongkong, the only authority that I had at my disposal was the article on Plague in Quain's "Dictionary of Medicine" by J. N. RADCLIFFE, the experiences that we have had here being to a considerable extent new to the present generation. Latterly, the articles in the Encyclopadia Brittannica and DAVIDSON'S Tropical Medicine-not to mention HECKER'S classical work-were brought to my notice. I have not been able to make myself familiar with the opi- nions of CABIADIS and others in print, consequently the notes on the disease which I now present are almost solely founded on experiences here during the past year.

The history of Plague, as regards the civilised West, has been told times. 'without number, but, with the exception of ROCHER'S papers, the history of the disease in the Far East is a perfect blank. One would expect, seeing that China has the unenviable reputation of being the seat of the plague, that the Chinese classics would show some trace of the existence of epidemics of the disease. I have requested Mr. J. DYER BALL, one of the most eminent, and certainly one of the most painstaking of Chinese scholars, to make careful enquiry into the subject, and the result is that, after months of diligent searching, he finds that Chinese history makes no reference to any epidemic which has left a mark on the inefface- able records of time. The epidemic in Canton of 1894 is by far the most notice- able case (of which there is any record) of the disease carrying off large numbers of the population. The first time in contemporary history that plague has really made itself felt in China, was in 1844-just after the Egyptian epidemic had left its mark on European medicine,-and in this case, by the records at hand, the epidemic did not work nearly so much havoc amongst the population as it did during the year recently finished. Plague bas been practically endemic in Pakhoi for over twenty years, as has been recorded by Drs. LowRY and HORDER; the only occasion when it has been at all epidemic being about ten years ago.

The epidemic in Canton, according to the information at our disposal, began early in February 1894. During the four months following it was practically un- known in Pakhoi. In May it broke out in Hongkong, ninety miles from Canton, and three hundred and seventy miles from Pakhoi. Negative evidence is wanting to show that it did not come from Canton. Positive evidence is wanting to show that it came from Pakhoi.

An average of 11,090 passengers came from Canton every week whilst only 64 came from Pakhoi.

There were many patients fleeing from Canton on account of the plague,- none fleeing from Pakhoi.

Most certainly tens of thousands of persons died from plague in Canton, from January 1st to May 1st, 1894, whilst the dead were to be reckoned by tens only in Pakhoi during the same period, there being three or four steamers every day from Canton to Hongkong whilst there were only six in a month from Pakhoi.

Since 1873, it has been endemic in the province of Yunnan, a district about 900 miles from Canton, where the numbers dying of it yearly have been considerable. All this circumstantial evidence goes to prove that the disease was imported to Hongkong from Canton (and not from Pakhoi) although in Canton it has been unknown, until the present outbreak, since 1850.

On March 2nd, 1894, a large Chinese procession was held in Hongkong, and as a result large numbers of people came from the surrounding country, it being estimated that 40.000 of the lowest class coolies came from Canton for the occasion. It has been maintained by some persons that this was the period during which Hongkong became infected. It is possible, but it appears to me that before nine weeks had elapsed the epidemic would have reached such alarming proportions that it must have been noticed earlier. It was only in April that people were reported

as fleeing from Canton on account of the plague, and as these people were almost certain to have been in contact with the sick, it is most probable that some of them brought the disease into the Colony.

"The Overland Friend of China of 23rd May, 1850, contains the

following:

666

"The city of Canton, and the neighbouring towns and villages are afflicted by a malignant fever. It is commonly "called Typhus; some Europeans-physicians are of opinion that it is akin to the yellow fever of the West Indies; others think that it resembles the plague which "'desolated London two centuries ago. The disease is "said to be fatal invariably, its victims linger three or "four days, though in some instances they have died in "twelve hours. More than one European doctor cheer- fully offer their services,--but the Chinese are obstinate " in their adherence to old custom-old ignoraut quackery. "The distemper has not made its appearance at the "Factories, and as it may arise from a want of cleanliness "among the people, we are in hopes that it will not "extend to Europeans.'

The following remarks by A. P. HAPPER, Jr.. in the Imperial Maritime Customs' Annual Report, 1889, (dated 22nd February, 1890) are those of a most careful ob- server, although some of his statements as to the limitation of the disease are erron- eous-probably owing to a lack of knowledge of the literature upon the subject:-

"(

"In spite of such a favourable climate Meng-tzu (in Yunnan), in common "with other parts of Yunnan, has suffered annually for a period of "years from the plague, (E), a kind of malignant fever, "fatal in a few days, having as one of its symptoms a hard swelling "on the neck, in the armpits, or in the groin, which has carried off a number of its inhabitants. Indeed, the presence of fallow land "in the near neighbourhood of the city is attributed to the decima- "tion of the farming population by the pest. On approach of the epidemic, the first victims are rats, which fearless of human beings, "rush madly into their presence, and after capering around the room "fall dead at their feet. The next to suffer are cattle: the fatal "effect among them is equally as great. Surrounded by such "distressing signs, it is no wonder that inhabitants of hamlets often "desert their houses and belongings en masse, to seek immunity on the mountain side; for a curious fact about the disease is, that it never descends to places under 1,200 ft. of altitude above the sea, "and it rarely scales heights over 7,200 ft. high. Strangely enough "also, it seldom attacks people sojourning in Yunnan from other "provinces, its victims being confined to the aborigines and to "native-born Chinese. This disease certainly offers an interesting "field for the study of western medical science, and the physician "who will find a specific against its ravages will be hailed as the "deliverer of Yunnan, so helpless are the native practitioners in

treating it.

66

66

The question of the infection of rats, previous to the epidemic being noticed in human beings, has been made too much of, as have several other points in con- nection with plague. It is only natural that as rats have their snouts about an inch above the floors of houses they are much more liable to inspire plague-infected dust than people who have their mouths at least two feet higher. Inoculation too is easy.

 It must be remembered that rats usually die two or three days after inoculation; therefore the statement that the deaths of rats generally precede an epidemic-although generally true--is only dependant on the fact that rats and other small animals are peculiarly liable to be infected, and have a very short incubation period of the disease. Their habits and residence also conduce to their early affection after the disease has been introduced.

Many points have yet to be cleared up scientifically, as for instance the in- fection of pigs and cattle. It has been stated that these animals suffer from the same disease, but it would be better, by our later experience, to prove that it is definitely plague. I regret that after the hurry of the late epidemic our stock of plague bacilli has disappeared, but it is to be hoped that an opportunity for eluci-

THE HONGKONG Government GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895. dating some doubtful points will occur later on. Going upon recent experience here we have as yet no definite proof that, during this epidemic, pigs, cattle and dogs were infected. KITASATO's observations were unfortunately limited to what may be termed "Toy" animals, and it would have been more satisfactory if animals which are generally used for human consumption had been utilised also for experi- ment, and the direct connection of the disease between human beings and these animals had been definitely proved, so much depending on the food supply of certain communities in the Far East at the present moment.

It is satisfactory to know that the causa causans of the plague has been dis- covered, and some of us must regret that our time, being entirely taken up by practical work in connection with the treatment of the plague-for which no fame is secured-we had so little time to look to the more purely scientific side of the question.

In the following pages stress has been laid on the paucity of medical men who could be found to help in our extremity. It may be thought that we surely had enough time to make some efforts in the direction of discovering bacilli. I can only say that after a day of from twelve to eighteen hours hard and exciting work in the trying heat of a Hongkong summer none of the men who had to bear the brunt of medical supervision, and who had to look forward to a prolonged mental strain, were much inclined to start work with the microscope by gaslight,--more espe- cially as they were generally completely tired out and ready to sleep immediately; or were too exhausted to secure the repose necessary to enable them to start afresh next day. It may not be out of place to mention that in the Egyptian epidemic in 1843 half of the French physicians in Cairo perished from the plague; and in the Russian epidemic in 1879 (where Vetlianka was the principal seat of disease with about five hundred cases), the first three medical men who were in attendance on the sick died, as did numerous attendants. These were somewhat appalling figures when the epidemic broke out, and the outlook was not much improved when our numbers went up to four by the addition of Surgeon-Major JAMES, A.M.S., and Surgeon PENNY, R.N., the European nursing staff being reinforced by two Police Constables. It is noticeable that none of those who were in active attendance on, or engaged in removing, the sick during the whole period were attack- ed. This I put down to the instructions that were given at the beginning of the epidemic. On the second or third day after the epidemic was discovered it was proved that the disease could be propagated through the blood by inoculation. The faces were also suspected as an additional mode of conveyance of infection. Cultures were made from these, but unfortunately this method of infection was not proved until KITASATO arrived, time being wanting to make frequent observations of our culture tubes. In the meanwhile, notwithstanding want of proof, the faces were always looked upon as the most prolific source of infection carbolic acid or quicklime being added to them before disposal in the sea, and it was a satisfaction to us when KITASATO confirmed our suspicions. The question as to whether infection from the contents of buboes could occur was answered in the affirmative early, and every precaution as regards antiseptics was taken in opening these swell- ings. With our present knowledge of the nature of the epidemic it may be said (and has been said) that our precautions at the beginning were excessive, but here again it is the same old story of "wisdom after the event." By the knowledge gained in Hongkong during 1894, plague has been divested of a great deal of its terrors if care be taken by the people engaged in fighting it. Not only this, but if proper sanitary precautions are taken, no civilised country should ever be the seat of an epidemic of plague. I am bound to admit that, if ever any place was ripe for such an epidemic, certain parts of Hongkong in May 1894 were in a condition for it to spread like wildfire. Full details as to the condition of the City of Victoria are given later, and it is satisfactory to know at the present time that attempts are being made by those in authority to remedy faults which have been accumulating for years, and which have been pointed out before but without result.

In these times of scientific research it is not too much to expect that some serum treatment will be found to neutralize the toxines produced by the Pest Bacilli, and when the further researches of KITASATO and YERSIN are published I hope we shall have some remedy suggested which will enable us to reduce the high mortality due to Plague, should it ever unfortunately come to these shores again.

DEFINITION.

Bubonic Plague is a specific infectious fever, characterised by the presence of a definite bacillus, primarily affecting especially the lymphatic system, and after- wards the cerebral and vascular systems. When considering the symptoms (if this definition is kept in mind) it will be found to embrace all the developments which take place in the disease,

CAUSE.

The existing cause of the disease is a bacillus, which was, so far as the Hong- kong epidemic is concerned, discovered first by Dr. S. KITASATO, of Tokyo, on June 14th, in the Kennedytown Barrack Hospital. The bacilli are found in the faces, in the contents of buboes, and in the blood.

Predisposing causes are, speaking generally, insanitary conditions, and of these Filth and Overcrowding must be reckoned as two of the most important factors. The district of Taipingshan supplied these factors in a marked degree at the begin- ning of the outbreak, the majority of the houses being in a most filthy condition, as owing to the uncleanly habits of the people the amount of what is generally termed rubbish accumulates in a Chinese house in a crowded city to an extent be- yond the imagination of most civilised people. When to a mixture of dust, old rags, ashes, broken crockery, moist surface soil, etc. is added facal matter, and the decomposing urine of animals and human beings, a terribly insanitary condition of affairs prevails; and that this is no overdrawn picture of what was to be met with in Taipingshan, many Europeans now know to their cost. The habits of the people are filthy, and their surroundings are correspondingly filthy if household scavenging is not looked after properly.

Overcrowding (2) was present also. The question as to how many people may go to the acre without overcrowding, must receive a different answer in every separate town according to the character and height of the houses, and the breadth of the streets. When, however, 30 to 40 people are huddled together with a cubic air space of less than 150 cubic feet per head, and that in a house which has no through ventilation, then one would suppose that it inust be admitted that there is overcrowding; nevertheless one finds in Hongkong would-be sanitariaus who will not admit the existence of overcrowding on any basis but that of how many go to the acre.

Other insanitary conditions were not wanting. In May 1894 in Taipingshan, and in other districts of Hongkong a large proportion of the houses were damp and badly ventilated, with drains of a most primitive and insanitary description. Earthen floors or floors laid with chunks of stones were the general rule while in most houses light seemed to be looked upon as an enemy to be carefully shut out.

(3)

Basements and cellars have been allowed to be inhabited practically all over Hongkong. These have the most meagre provision of ventilation and light, more especially those to the west of the Civil Hospital, where the hill rises abruptly; and in Taipingshan in the neighbourhood of Tank Lane. Dwellings in these districts are very damp indeed in the summer season, a large number of houses being built directly back to back, or with only a very narrow lane between them.

(4)

(5)

In the infected areas the drainage arrangements within private premises are. bad, a few houses only having been connected to the new system, whilst the majority have the old fashioned drains, square in section, badly constructed, leaking in all directions, and favouring deposit of solid matter-especially during the dry season- and directly connected with the old drains which have been relegated to the duty of conveying storm waters since the introduction of the new system. A few have no drainage at all.

(1) In 1887 an Ordinance entitled The Public Health Ordinance was passed which handed over the sanitary Much of the work so delegated control of the Colony to a semi-representative body called the Sanitary Board. to it has been carried out in an efficient manner. The external scavenging of the streets leaves little to be desired, and many efforts have been made to encourage and foster a higher standard of cleanliness amongst the native population. Unfortunately the Chinaman resents strongly any attempts to interfere with his domestic In any privacy, and a little too much deference has probably been shown to his prejudices in this respect. case it must be admitted that the interior of the native houses was such as may fairly be described as a disgrace to a civilized community.

(2) The Health Ordinance provides for overcrowding, but its provisions were not put into effect owing to opposition

by the natives. (Sec section 67 of Ordinance.)

(3) At the time of the outbreak of the Epidemic there was no restriction as to the use of basements as places for-

habitation.

(4) There is no provision for back-to-back and badly ventilated houses.

(5) The Ordinance gives large powers in Drainage matters, Sections 49-54 dealing with the subject of drains.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

The food supply of Hongkong is fairly good but could be improved from a public health point of view if the wishes of the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon were more carefully attended to. The Chinese here have entertained the idea that the epidemic was caused by eating pigs from Pakhoi, but as none of the pigs imported showed any sign of disease, and as pigs have not yet been proved to be susceptible to the disease, this supposition has to be rejected.

The water supply is very good, but at present it is scarcely sufficient to meet the heavy demands made on it, on account of the waste and misuse of water within the closely built and thickly inhabited areas of the City, the water supply to the Chinese being almost unlimited. Its waste and misuse are, however, being remedied rapidly.

In addition to the Government supply there are numerous wells situated generally in houses, latrines, back-kitchens and other out-of-the-way places. These wells all come within the category of "Shallow Wells" and must as long as they exist prove a serious danger to the Public Health. These wells are numer- ous in the affected areas and some of them simply reek with organic matter; others have a considerable amount of ammonia and nitrites; whilst a very few only are at all fit for drinking purposes. To what extent the spread of the epidemic was due to these wells has not yet been determined; it is easy to see the possibility of their pollution by plague patients, but the question has not yet been studied carefully. Many are now shut up.

LATRINES.

To my mind one of the most important factors in the spread of the disease was the bad condition of the latrines. In Hongkong latrines are in some cases public, and in some cases private property; in both cases they are under the control of the Sanitary Board, and are used by the bulk of the Chinese population, few Chinese dwellings being provided with accommodation of this kind. The following extract from a letter I sent to the Colonial Surgeon bearing date 15th August, 1894, explains itself:-

66

"In my opinion the condition of the latrines in the Colony has been partly responsible for the spread of the plague epidemic. My reasons for thinking so are as follows:-

66

16

'(1) The plague bacillus is abundantly found in the faces.

(2) There is practically no disinfection of faces in the latrines. The

"gutters are washed down occasionally with a mixture of

6.6

(1

(6

Jeyes' Fluid and water, but only some material described as

opium packing is added to the faces to raise its value as a manure. This latter is practically of no use as a disinfectant. "(3) Several times during the epidemic these latrines were not cleaned "out as regularly as they ought to have been. (This is not to "be wondered at considering the scarcity of labour.)

(6

"(4) Plague-stricken coolies must often have visited the latrines, and "each soil pan must necessarily have become a great danger to

every healthy person who went into the latrine.

A glance "at one of these latrines will at once bring this prominently "before you. Their peculiar construction makes it absolutely "certain that any individual using them must inhale air laden "with impurities, and each soil pan must have been a prolific breeding ground for the poison. There is here a favourable opportunity for being attacked, as all the three most usual methods of infection-inoculation, respiration and entrance by "alimentary canal-may occur.

(C

(

(C

"(5) Not only this but from the statistics and facts at present at my disposal, I consider that these latrines were a source of infec- ?tion to houses round about them; so that it was not neces- sary for the people to go into the latrines to get the disease, "it was probably borne by the air to neighbouring houses.

"There is a licensed private latrine at 113, Second Street. At a casual "glance the shut up houses all around bear cloquent testimony upon this point. "Round this latrine there is scarcely a house occupied.

373

-

874

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

"In Centre Street at the corner of Third Street there is a latrine. On pass- "ing into Third Street to the South numerous houses are shut up and several

cases have occurred in neighbouring houses.

"L

"At 82, First Street, there is a latrine with an entrance at 91, Second Street. "A very large number of cases occurred round about this place.

(6

!

"Around several other latrines, more especially at 29, First Street, numerous cases occurred; but in some of these instances it is difficult to prove that the "severity of the epidemic was so locally affected on account of the large number of

cases which occurred in almost every house.

(6

"Sheung Fung Lane, off Second Street and opposite to No. 91 of that street, "is practically shut up. The mortality here was very great. The inhabitants "were principally night-soil coolies and almost all died. The occupants of houses. "in Third Street adjoining this were also numerously attacked.

"I might mention that there is a latrine, no doubt well known to the sani- "tary authorities, in Centre Street Market, and three yards distant from it a large "quantity of meat is often hanging for hours at a time.

((

"The two questions:-(i) Was there infection of coolies in the latrines? and "(ii) Was there infection of the neighbourhood round about? must go hand in "hand seeing that so many of the inhabitants use the latrine. It must be remem- bered, however, that women and children do not patronise these institutions so "much as male adults, and as large numbers of the former have died, I think it "must be conceded, notwithstanding the fact that personal contact (as explained "later on in this Report) may cause infection,, that both these questions should be "answered in the affirmative. If not, why should not all parts of these streets "be equally affected?

"I would ask you to inspect these latrines personally to see that my statements "as to want of use of disinfectants to the faces are correct. When visiting these places I have not seen a grain of quicklime, or a drop of carbolic acid, or any "other disinfectant used to treat the excreta, and from what I learned by examina- "tion of attendants it is only by the merest chance that Jeyes' Fluid ever finds its

way into the soil-pan.

(6

"Full statistics, such as I understand Mr. MAY has procured, would help very "much to arrive at an accurate result. I would suggest that some one with a little spare time should 'plot out' the figures of the severe plague localities upon a map of the City, and then have the position of the latrines inserted. This will " go to prove

what I have indicated above. Of course, where so many cases have "occurred in the infected areas, it would be unwise to lay this down as absolute, "it is only suggested to me from what I have particularly noticed to the west of "the Civil Hospital. There may be a few exceptions with regard to the spread of "disease by latrines, and some houses seemed to have escaped in a remarkable "manner, possibly owing to some trade peculiarity, etc.; but with full statistics "it may be found that even those which apparently have had no case have really "been infected, or, more probably still, their inhabitants had fled before being "attacked by the epidemic.

"If it is His Excellency's desire to have further details I shall furnish them "if I can.

"In conclusion, please bear in mind that I do not say this is the sole cause of "the spread of plague, it is one cause, and one that ought to be remedied at once "in case we have another outbreak in the near future."

Further investigation in the infected area to the west of the Government Civil Hospital has fully borne this out.

EFFECT OF CLIMATIC INFLUENCE.

The disease commenced here at the end of the dry season; it had raged furiously in Canton during the dry season; and increased here after the rain set in. It was raging at Canton when the temperature was about 60° F. and in Hongkong when it was between 80° and 90° F. These facts show that at any rate between a tem- perature of 60° and 90° F. the epidemic will flourish and that the humidity or dryness of the atmosphere has not much influence on its forward march. Experi- mentally the bacillus grows best in a slightly moist medium at the temperature of the human body, and from this experience a humid condition of the soil and atmos-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

phere would favour the propagation of the disease. It must be kept in mind that the great breeding ground for the germs is in the human body, a fact which is often forgotten by people who wonder how the disease is propagated and speculate as to the effect that different temperatures and humidity have upon it. As a matter of fact it follows that conditions of temperature and humidity approximating to those of the human body are favourable to the multiplication of the bacillus.

It has been suggested that the increase of the disease after the rainy season set in was due to the rise of subsoil water in the more or less porous ground causing the expulsion of ground air (more or less polluted from contact with soil infected by leaking drains) through the unpaved floors of dwellings, but I lay most stress on the fact that the heavy rains drove coolies and others into the infected houses to sleep instead of sleeping in the street as they generally do in the summer when the weather is at all good.

MODE OF INFECTION.

The poison is given off in the faces, in the blood and in the contents of buboes. Skin to skin infection is impossible unless the one to be infected has some wound and the infector's skin has been soiled by faces, blood or the contents of buboes. The poison is not given off in ordinary respiration. Cultivation experiments with, and microscopic examination of, sputum and saliva have given negative results in the only case in which I have been able to work on this point. The question of whether the bacillus is present in the vomit has not yet been solved. Dr. KITASATO does not at present think so, but seeing that animals feeding on bits of plague buboes contract the disease, I think it better to give a guarded opinion upon this point. That the bacillus may live under certain conditions in the stomach is evident; what these conditions are I cannot state, but in an unhealthy stomach with great decrease of gastric juice it is quite possible for the bacilli to live and even multiply.

Infection takes place by inoculation, inspiration, and introduction into the stomach. The latter is infrequent. In this epidemic the relative frequency of the two first mentioned channels could not be made out, and indeed it would be diffi- cult at any time to determine, as in cases of inspiratory infection the primary bubo noticeable may be situated in any part of the body, whilst a scratch on the hand or foot which may be thought the primary wound is often an after result of an injury unimportant at incipience. Most of the coolies affected wore neither shoes nor stockings; almost all males go barefooted which would partly account for the large number of the coolie class being affected. The better class of Chinese, though living under almost identical sanitary conditions, generally wear shoes and stockings. Infection from bodies found in street or houses or awaiting burial may take place if clothes, etc. have been soiled by discharges.

Infection by flies and mosquitoes is improbable as no attendant in Hospital, although frequently bitten by these insects was affected. No bacteriological ex- amination of mosquitoes or flies was made.

INCUBATION.

The incubation period may extend to nine days; it is, however, generally from three to six days. How short it may be I do not know, but I should say that a few hours' incubation period is very improbable. Case I. had an incubation period of between one hundred and two and one hundred and thirty-eight hours. The first batch of soldiers who were affected were seized with fever three-and-a-half, four, and six-and-a-half days respectively (after cleaning out some badly infected houses), while another soldier had an incubation period of four days. Of course these dates may be wrong as far as incubation is concerned, as they might have been infected at any time during these days but at any rate the evidence is signi- ficant. The limit period was in the following case. A Chinaman, MAN CHOY, was arrested on June 11th and put in the Police Cells during the day. He was sent- enced to imprisonment in Gaol on 12th June, and on 20th June in the evening, after having complained of not being well and being under observation for two days, became feverish, and was removed to Hospital. The following day (21st) a left femoro-inguinal bubo appeared. This case gives an incubation period of nine days and is very important. There were many cases where an incubation of be- tween three and six days could be proved, at least so far as one can speak of proof when eliciting evidence from Chinese. The Eurasian Italian Convent Sister who died from plague had an incubation period of five days.

The matter may be summed up as follows, the incubation period is generally from three to six days, is seldom under three or over six, but may reach nine.

CLINICAL.

Before describing in detail the clinical aspects of the bubonic plague it may not be out of place to give a brief description of the condition in which we found the sufferers during the early weeks of the epidemic. In those days, very naturally, cases were discovered in a more advanced stage of the malady than later, when house-to-house visitation was well established, and hidden sufferers were less frequently found. To overpaint the pitiable surroundings associated with plague work at the commencement of the epidemic would be impossible. I have entered

a long low cellar, without any window opening, and with the air entering only by a square open shaft from the level of the roof three or four stories high. Down one side of the shaft ran a broken earthenware drain pipe, leaking freely, the contents streaming down the wall of the air shaft to a shallow pool of filth which crossed the undrained floor of earth. Although it was broad daylight outside a lantern was necessary to see one's way. On a miserable sodden matting soaked with abominations there were four forms stretched out. One was dead, the tongue black and protruding. The next had the muscular twitchings and semi-comatose con- dition heralding dissolution. In searching for a bubo we found a huge mass of glands extending from Poupart's ligament to the knee joint. This patient was be- yond the stage of wild delirium. Sordes cover the teeth and were visible between the parted and blackened lips. Another sufferer, a female child about 10 years old, lay in the accumulated filth of apparently two or three days, unable to speak owing to the presence of enlarged cervical glands. The fourth was wildly delirious (the conjunctiva intensely congested) and was constantly vomiting. The attendant (sic)-the grandmother of the child--had a temperature of 103° F. and could only crawl from one end of the cellar to the other. She was wet through, and was herself doomed. This is no fancy sketch but a true picture of how we found some of our patients at the outbreak of the scourge in Hongkong. No one, unfamiliar with the horrors of some coolie accommodation in China, could credit "how the poor live" in Hongkong, or could imagine how the horrors of their everyday life were intensified by the plague.

The terrors of the disease itself were rendered greater by the fear the poor wretches often had of falling into the hands of the "foreign doctors." It is no great credit to our boasted civilisation or to our vaunted mission work that the average intelligent Chinaman of to-day prefers the fetish tricks of the native practitioner to the more enlightened methods of graduates of the western schools; but the fact remains that the horror of western medicine is by no means confined to, though almost universal among, the members of the coolie class. So evident was this fact that it was deemed prudent to allow such sufferers as preferred their own native doctors to be attended by them, in hospitals under European super- vision.

Face to face with a hundred difficulties, accentuated by the natural suspicion and ignorance of the Chinese, whom as far as possible we wished to appease, natur- ally short handed as far as medical men were concerned (for the visitation gave us little warning and spread with alarming rapidity), the difficulties the executive had to combat were grave in the extreme.

"}

Wisdom after the event is a proverbially cheap attribute, and doubtless there are many people who possess it. We hear, now that the immediate strain and danger have passed, how very much more satisfactorily things might have been done, principally from people who did little or nothing to help us in the hour of our extremity. We hear of wiseacres who knew that the plague was here many weeks before it arrived, but who kept such valuable information strictly to themselves, in the interests, doubtless, of the community. Rash and inaccurate "first thoughts have found their way into the British journals, and crude guesses have appeared in print under the false guise of "methodised experience." It will be prudent for plague students to accept very guardedly such early lucubrations. No man who really saw the plague in its early days had time for recording in a trustworthy way its often varying phases, and at that time sound clinical record was almost impossible. Later on in the light of a quieter time, and a more leisurely observa- tion there was time to expunge as error that which at first was not unreasonably recorded as fact. We constantly laboured under the difficulty of not being able to speak the language of cur patients, and such a condition of affairs was not only more or less alarming to them, but greatly against our treatment throughout. Of course, we had attendants who were able to interpret, but an interpreter is an unsatisfactory necessity by the sick bedside, and often helps to confuse a sufferer, whose intelligence ab initio is none too clear, and whose approaching delirium dissipates coherency.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

The sick person may be said roughly speaking to present upon first being seen many varying aspects. Sometimes the patient is brought in, in a condition to demand very careful diagnosis before committing him to a plague ward. There may be only general malaise with a temperature of say 102° F., a tongue somewhat coated, an anxious, sometimes terrified, expression, a quick small pulse (more or less the result of shock and fear), and a general feeling of aching over the body. Such symptoms of course may be the result of a dozen different pathological con- ditions and caution is needed. Another case may have the injected conjunctivae and high fever which forerun the stage of delirium and here the bubo is as a rule easily found. Most cases aided diagnosis, in the first month of the visitation, by having well marked buboes upon admission to hospital. Sometimes the conjunctiva show marked bile staining. It will not do to accept a bubo as indisputable evidence of plague-bear in mind that lymphadenitis is not eliminated from human ills at a time when the bubonic plague is in evidence and that in lymphadenitis (associated say with a wound of the foot) you may get your fever, pulse, general malaise and bubo in the most common site of bubonic plague selection. One or two such cases were sent to us during the recent epidemic. Sometimes an individual may not know he is suffering at all. In one case I took the temperature of an Indian who looked ill but who had come to see about the burial of a compatriot, and who com- plained of no unpleasant symptom, but was rather amused at my using the thermo- ineter in his case. He had a temperature of 103° F. and a small cervical bubo. In the wards he had a very grave attack and only just missed joining his friend whom he had come to bury.

The facies of a plague patient has been variously described by classical writers. Shortly it may be put down as a mixture of anxiety, cyanosis and dyspnoea until the first mentioned is overcome by the nervous symptoms; whilst the character of the gait depends solely on the state of the cerebral system.

Generally speaking there is something indescribable in the face of the plague stricken which seems to help your diagnosis, an expression as if the sufferer himself knew all about it, and his inner consciousness had left its mark on his features.

Temperature attracts notice early. It rises, as a rule, gradually and not suddenly as it does in malaria. In most of the European cases and in the Japanese doctors, who were watched from the beginning, it took from twelve to thirty-six hours to reach the primary maximum. This primary maximum in the early part of the epidemic was generally from 104° to 106° F., a temperature of 106° F. being frequent. As time went on this seemed to fall to 105° and later still a temperature of 104° was seldom reached in the first stage. At the beginning of May the period of pyrexia due to the disease itself was somewhat longer than it was about the end of June, whilst in August it was shorter than it was in the middle of the epidemic. Secondary complications often keep up the temperature for a fortnight or even longer after the acute stage of the disease has passed. I am now speaking of cases that recovered. In most severe cases the tendency is for the temperature to keep about the same level for some time. In milder cases a gradual (sometimes only slight) fall takes place; most recovering cases show a well marked morning fall and evening rise.

           rise. The temperature may fall by lysis or crisis-the latter being very rare. Antipyretics generally affect the temperature very slightly, and in looking at some of the charts, although falls of 2° or 3° are sometimes noticed, still the majority of cases show very little fall. In some cases where a large fall (say of four degrees) was brought about the fall was coincident with approaching death. During the first month the highest temperature on admission was 106.° 6 F. The highest temperature noted in this period was in a child at. 5 years on the third day when it reached 107.° 4 F. During the second month our highest temperature on admission was 106 and highest reached 106.°4. F., but only five or six others were noted above 105°. The highest temperature recorded in the epidemic was 108.o8 in a child.

Well marked rigor at the commencement of the disease was conspicuous by its absence, in many cases the first thing that attracted notice being the headache due to fever. Many cases complained of a slight shiver or chillness. In connection with the absence of marked rigor it is interesting to note that in Hongkong malarial attacks have frequently no cold stage at all. Previous records of the disease make the rigor generally well marked.

The swollen glands that were apparent most generally affected the femoral chain in Chinese as well as in Europeans. In Chinese, infection by inoculation.

was frequent owing to coolies going barefooted. All the Shropshire Regiment men infected had femoral or inguinal buboes, and they were well booted; so that there must be some reason for the femoral glands being especially liable to enlargement. However, seeing that the disease often causes a general enlargement of glands, I think that the mere point as to which set of glands is usually enlarged has been made too much of; more especially considering that sometimes the biggest gland is situated in the abdomen out of sight until the post mortem examination is made. The pain in the bubo was very great at first; later on it became less; and finally towards the end when no apparent swelling was noticed it was only occasionally, on considerable pressure over some of the most generally affected regions, that what might be termed a "differential pain" was discovered. Sometimes pain was notice- able a considerable time before the enlarged gland was noticed. At the commence- ment of the epidemic the noticeable buboes were very large and as the epidemic went on their size gradually diminished. Although pain and size generally went together, frequently a small gland was to be met with which would be as painful as a very large one. At the commencement of the epidemic the bubo was always sur- rounded by a considerable amount of sero-sanguineous exudation, and as time went on it was found that this diminished also, the end of the epidemic showing very cases which had any exudation at all. Sometimes there was a very large amount of cedema around the bubo quite distinct from the sero-sanguineous exudation around, and a "doughy" feeling could be detected in the bubo during the course of the first twenty-four hours, probably due to the rapid pouring out of exudation, Femoral buboes as a rule were most painful, parotid swellings standing at the same level. Those situated in the axillary and cervical regions did not cause so much discomfort, unless in the latter region the swelling reached close to the trachea or the mastoid cells. The abdominal pain was I consider in some cases due to inflammation of some of the mesenteric glands. In the case of the Italian Convent sister who died this was undoubtedly the case, as the slightest pressure over a spot on the left side of the umbilicus caused great pain, and immediately under this spot the only well marked enlarged gland in the abdomen was found at the post mortem examination. This is interesting when one considers the question of sensibility of the peritoneum.

few

The bubo when present generally appeared within 24 hours of the onset of the fever. In two or three cases we got a history of the bubo appearing before the fever, but as a thermometer had not been used I place some doubt on the accuracy of the statements made. In numbers of cases the swelling did not appear till later, in one case not till about the ninth day of the disease when the temperature suddenly dropped, and the case becaine rapidly convalescent. In another case it appeared on the sixth day and the disease still continued to run an acute course. In a few cases where a small bubo was present for four or five days a sudden enlargement was noticed and the patients rapidly sank.

?

This was especially marked in three cases with cervical buboes. I ascribed this mostly to the sudden extension of the swelling to the larynx. From the rapid way in which the pulse and respiration became worse in these cases, however, it is quite possible that interference with the pneumo-gastric and phrenic nerves may have been the immediate causes of bringing about a suddenly fatal issue. I formed the opinion that a sudden enlargement of a bubo, after having been practically stationary for some time, is of grave portent.

aorta.

Sometimes a whole chain of glands was enlarged; when this was so, if the patient survived, widespread sloughing was to be anticipated later. On two or three occasions on the post mortem table a large hamorrhagic mass of glands was found running from the apex of Scarpa's triangle to the bifurcation of the abdominal The question as to whether the bubo was a true suppurating one was raised, one medical man being of opinion that an opening, (although made on account of supposed suppuration), was made too soon, and that suppuration was the result of incision. This had to be disproved more or less to his satisfaction. The Chinese Hospital (Slaughter House) contained patients on whom a knife was never used, one morning we counted 43 patients there. Of these, 34 had buboes that had suppurated and burst of their own accord, some of them having caused serious sloughing. An immediate small rise in temperature often followed the incision of a gland, even when pus was evacuated.

Cerebral symptoms appeared early in the disease. They were due to two causes principally (a) meningitis, (b) haemorrhages. Headache began with the fever. It was generally fronto-temporal and most severe in the early cases. I may say here that all symptoms of the disease seemed to be more acute at the beginning of the epidemic than they were later. The headache was generally a combination of an acute dull pain accompanied by throbbing in the temples. Sometimes (rarely)

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

a patient complained of occipital headache and, on one or two occasions, of pain in the back of the neck-evidently of spinal origin. The headache gradually merged into delirium as the meningitis developed. Convergent strabismus or divergent strabismus was occasionally present-generally the former. "Both eyes turned to right or left" was also noticed in some cases. Occasionally where hemorrhage was diagnosed the pupils were unequal but in one conspicuous case where a hemorrhage on one side of the brain was supposed to exist (diagnosis concurred in by Professor AOYAMA), no haemorrhage was found and I think that in many cases the mere meningeal inflammation caused symptoms which would lead one to suppose that a one-sided lesion was present. Cases generally developed brain symptoms which could be differentiated into four distinct types :-

(a) Comatose, where the patient lay practically paralysed, mind and body. (b) Wildly delirious, where he struggled and fought and still retained a

fair command of rational speech.

(c) Apathetic, where he lay perfectly quiet, and took nourishment when it was offered to him; in fact lay in a drowsy, but always more or less conscious, condition until improvement or death took place. (d) A convulsive type brought on either by the inflammation of the meninges and brain matter or by a hemorrhage. These convul- sions were often severe. (lu Case I. they were only stopped by chloroform. P.M. no hemorrhage was found.)

In Case XV. they always began in the left arm (hand) and were truly Jack- sonian in nature pointing to some cortical lesion round the right fissure of Rolando. (See remarks on case.) Occasionally they resembled tetanus, the opisthotonos being very great. Subsultus tendinum did not occur early as a rule, but generally late in the disease. Picking at the bed clothes, trying to catch imaginary objects, in fact all the symptoms of meningitis were almost always present; in a few cases however they were absent, and such cases were usually of a very mild nature. Patients often had hallucinations beginning generally on the second day of the illness. All these cerebral symptoms followed the primary lymphatic affection and their rapid appearance was not to be wondered at when one considers the close connection between the arachnoid and the lymphatic system.

The vascular is the other system which was especially affected. The principal items to note were-

(1) The vasomotor paralysis which rapidly appeared involving the heart

itself as well as the vessels.

(2) The liability to sudden heart failure.

(3) The symptoms probably due to organic changes in the heart in those

who recovered.

There are four stages of the pulse in plague. During the first stage it is in the majority of cases full and bounding. In some it is feeble and collapsed. When in the latter state cyanosis is usually well marked and the patient is evidently moribund. The pulse which at first is full and bounding becomes (usually in from six to thirty-six hours) dicrotic and fairly easily compressible at the wrist. accompanying tracing shows such a pulse where the dicrotism, although not extreme, is well marked.

The

Intermittency is often noticeable in this second stage of the pulse and becomes more marked as the third stage develops, when it becomes anacrotic and almost like the pulse of aortic insufficiency, there being no rebound wave at all, nor the slightest trace of it by sphygmograph in a well marked case. In addition it is at this period very easily compressible, and the actual range of movement of the vessel is very limited at the wrist, whereas in the larger vessels the upheaval is usually well marked, slight pressure at the femoral being sufficient to arrest the pulse. The following tracing* of the radial pulse is taken from a patient at this stage, there being no pressure on the sphygmograph button, except its own weight.

This patient was a very lean man, and consequently a tracing of his femoral pulse could be easily obtained as the vessel passed over the brim of the pelvis. With slightly over an ounce of pressure, (enough to visibly diminish the range of movement), the accompanying tracing* was got.

* Pulse tracing not printed here.

On the

From this anacrotic stage gradual or sudden failure may set in, unless there is a general improvement in the case. The pulse generally becomes fast and run- ning and scarcely perceptibl e or if perceptible it is generally intermittent. second day if a thin patient was naked one could usually see the femoral arteries beating at a distance of several yards, and this was equally true of the other large arteries. Often this large movement was to be seen in the vessels in the neck, axilla, or groin, and yet at the radial or posterior tibial arteries the pulse was hardly perceptible.

Tihese four stages of the pulse (1) full and bounding (2) dierotic (3) anacrotic (4) falure, may be looked upon as the usual sequence; though one or more of them may under some circumstances escape observation. They may all be of the shortest duration, and of course sudden heart failure may at any time prevent the later stages developing.

The area of cardiac dulness was generally enlarged early in the disease (apex downwards and to the left of usual position) and sometimes remained so for weeks in those who recovered, there being also an increase of dulness on the right side. There was practically no muffling of the sounds. These conditions pointed to dila- tation, yet murmurs were of rare occurrence. One would have expected to hear them more frequently even in those who were long sick and recovered. The first sound was invariably weak in the later stages. Pain in the cardiac region was gene- rally complained of. These symptoms pointed to a true myocarditis. Palpitation was frequently present and complained of. A pericardial rub I never heard, although in a few cases post mortem a small accumulation of fluid was found in the pericar- dium. I think that the tendency to haemorrhage must have been caused by some inflammatory or fatty degenerative change in the small vessels, and this may be one of the reasons why digitalis was so frequently a failure. It is to be expected that the microscopic pathology of the disease will be written by AOYAMA at some future time

When blood was drawn from the finger tip it was found to flow more easily and to look more fluid than normal. When put under the microscope it was found that the corpuscles crenated rapidly, and did not run into rouleaux readily. number of leucocytes increased always when the disease was at its height, and in the later stages there were occasionally to be found broken down or badly formed corpuscles. The number of red corpuscles was not materially diminished until the 7th-10th day when convalescence was setting in. The amount of homo- globin in the blood commenced to diminish from the second day of the disease, and, in some cases, became very low. In Case I. it was as low as 18% of the normal quantity, but in this case the patient was always somewhat anamic. A diminution to 30 % was frequent. The bacteriological examination of the blood will be discussed later.

Digestive System.-The important symptoms in connection with this system are-(i) condition of mouth and fauces; (ii) vomiting; (ii) diarrhoea or cons- tipation. The mouths of Chinese patients were invariably dry from the commence- ment, and the teeth and lips were early covered with sordes. The tongue was at the beginning of the attack almost covered with a thin white fur which became thicker, and then went through a transformation from white to black. In the early stages it was very like a typhoid fever tongue-white fur with red edges and tip, but in plague there was little or no tailing off of the fur as it approaches the edges, and the edges were not of such a bright colour as is generally the case in enteric fever. As the disease advances the fur changes from white to yellow. and brown, dark-brown and black. The latter colour is confined to the iniddle part of the organ, toning down towards the edges which still retain their original colour, in fact like a heavy tobacco chewer's tongue dried up.

                        The edges get somewhat redder as the disease goes on. The tongue is protruded with difficulty, the cause of this evidently being the cerebral condition, or possibly pain in the cervical glands. In Europeans, tongue conditions were never marked, owing to nourishinent being taken often, and to the frequent use of the toothbrush. In the opinion of some people the.dry condition of the mouth was the cause of the tongue not being easily protruded, but I consider this is a very minor cause. The fauces and pharynx were generally somewhat injected, and the tonsils somewhat swollen. When the principal bubo was situated in the cervical region, (especially if affecting the anterior cervical glands,) the tonsils and pharynx were usually intensely congested from the spread of the glandular inflammation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

Vomiting usually came on early and was of a bilious nature, being at first greenish, but going on to a dark-brown colour, almost grumous. Hamatemesis was exceedingly rare during the epidemic. The question arises whether the dark grumous material vomited was not blood altered by stomachic causes. I do not think that this is so because in these cases, (if efficient treatment was not adopted), the vomiting was sometimes constant, and pure or almost pure blood would neces- sarily have been vomited much more frequently. The vomit was generally of the same colour as the bile found in the gall-bladder post mortem. The vomiting gene- rally disappeared after counter irritation and a dose of calomel had been administered, and a free evacuation of the bowels secured. Where calomel was given early this troublesome symptom very seldom appeared. Under the care of native doctors vomiting was much more frequent than in our hospitals, and this I ascribe to want of purging, and also to the horrible concoctions of medicines and food which they forced down their patients' throats. Considering the cerebral condition of some patients it was to be expected that vomiting and retching would be frequently met with; but after the above explanation and taking into consideration the fact that the vomiting did not show the ordinary cerebral characteristics, I think that this symptom must be put down as mainly due to the condition of the liver and bowels. The feeling of oppression, and sometimes burning, in the epigastrium was due partly to the stomach trouble, but mainly, I believe, to cardiac conditions. Hiccough was often distressing, but the first dose of morphia generally stopped it.

Constipation was the general rule, though diarrhoea was met with in a number of cases and might be classed as (a) slight looseness of the bowels; (b) severe diarrhoea. Many cases of slight diarrhoea did very well, in fact I put it down as a favourable symptom, but then it only appeared in what seemed to be milder cases. Severe diarrhoea need not necessarily be a bad symptom. As a rule when severe it was very f?tid and evidently due to an acute enteritis. There was sometimes considerable straining with it resembling dysentery, but in only one case in the epidemic in our hospitals did I see blood in the evacuations, and then it was dark in colour, no bright blood as is often found in dysentery, and had evidently come from some distance up the bowel. Pain over the liver was never complained of, pain over the spleen on a few occasions only; pain in the abdomen was due possi- bly to one or more swollen glands, or may be ascribed to colic, or frequently to distension of the bladder. Enlargement of liver and spleen was only occasionally made out by palpation and percussion.

Respiratory System.-Dyspnoea was a constant symptom and was due to a combination of causes :-(a) ?dema of the lungs brought on by the vasomotor paralysis and possible changes in the small vessels; (b) the febrile state, and loss of hamoglobin; (c) cardiac. It was of an anxious and distressing character, coming on early in the disease with rapidity of respiration; the ala nasi, however, were soon at work and the respiration became more rapid still. The dyspnoea was more of a pneumonic than of an asphyxiative type. Physical signs of hypostatic mischief were seldom well marked before the third day of illness, and even then was only so in the severe cases. Some cases got well in whose lungs no moist sound was ever heard, but I am bound to add that many a one died with precisely the same condition of affairs, post mortem examination always showing some con- gestion at the bases of the lungs. Cough was generally absent in the early stages of the disease; or if present was evidently caused by the cedema of the lungs, and was then of a short and irritating character. Many cases showed oedema of the lungs without cough. These were generally rapidly fatal, the patient becoming comatose as the lungs became choked up. In a few cases the oedema went on to acute pneumonia and pleurisy, but this as a rule was only seen late in the disease. Pleural effusion was seldom marked enough to diagnose before death. In some cases multiple pneumonic abscesses-undiagnosed-occurred.

Among Chinese the voice in almost every case--even where the patient was sensible-was very weak; it was not so as a rule with the Europeans whose lung power and larynges were always in a much better state than those of the natives. Laryngitis when occurring was generally the result of extension of cervical glandular inflammation, and at the end of the epidemic, when these glandular inflammations were of an extremely mild character, laryngeal mischief was not met with at all.

Affections of the urinary system were practically limited to a slight and transient albuminuria. This was always slight, a trace to 1/20th being the common report on the charts. A larger amount I never saw. Hamaturia was not noticed amongst our cases. Retention of urine was frequent and, notwithstanding every attention to cleanliness, cystitis developed on several occasions where frequent catheterisation was necessary. Unconscious urination at the beginning of the epidemic was also

381

frequent, generally coincident with incontinence of faces if the bowels were at all loose. Urine was generally dark coloured and of high specific gravity, with increased secretion of urea. I noticed no casts in the urine. Sometimes the apparent in- continence in the Chinese Hospitals was due to distention of the bladder.

SKIN.

:

With two exceptions (urticaria and a herpetic eruption) which were only coincidental no rash was noticed, (but vide Case XXII.). The skin was dry and, pungently hot, except in collapsed cases when it was cold and claminy. After the acute stage of the disease perspiration in most cases was marked. The question of the occurrences of haemorrhages should be considered in conjunction with the post mortem appearances of organs where hemorrhages have occurred. At the begin- ning of the epidemic almost all the Chinese showed small red spots about the size of a pea. When I was in Canton and enquiring about these spots a Chinese coolie volunteered the information that they were the result of insect bites, generally mosquitoes and flies. I think I am giving a guarded opinion when I say that 95 % of these spots seen during the epidemic were caused by mosquitoes or flies. The condition of the blood was such that the slightest scratch or injury was generally followed by a dull pink blush appearing round it. On incision it was found to be composed of a small extravasation of thin light coloured fluid blood. All the hospitals except the Hygeia were swarming with insect life which we could not get rid of, although thousands were slaughtered daily by fly-papers and other con- trivances. In almost every case the spots appeared on the exposed parts, ankles and feet, wrists and hands and face. On the Hygeia patients received at the com- mencement of their illness scarcely ever had a single spot and there were no mos- quitoes on board and few flies. A puncture with a pin or a trivial blow or

later. The Chinese method of pinching (as a counter irritant) caused wonderful appear- ances on the chest and neck, the whole of this region of the body being sometimes of a colour varying from dull pink to dark violet. Mosquitoes, flies, etc., are very numerous all over Hongkong and the dead bodies which were picked up in the street showed the same spots. I never saw one of these spots above the size of a five-cent piece (the same size as a blister caused by a mosquito bite). In Kennedy- town Hospital, where patients had their pyjamas properly fastened, these spots were almost invariably confined to the exposed parts of the body. I never saw a hamorrhage in the skin anything like those seen in purpura, which are darker in colour, at least in the centre. All these plague marks were small and dull pink in colour. One day they appeared as typical mosquito bites, the following day they looked like hamorrhagic spots.

coriation was often followed by the characteristic discoloration a few days ex-

The word "Carbuncle" should be expunged from plague literature as I take it that Carbuncle" when used in this connexion is meant for a hamorrhagic blister, or a bubo in the neck, several of which looked like carbuncles but were really glandular in character. These were seen in only a few cases (four I think of the early cases). A true carbuncle was never seen. Boils were several times met with during convalescence as a result of the debility caused by the disease, and differed from the ordinary tropical boils common in Hongkong in that the pus was thinner and that there was no true core or slough, whilst an inflammatory areola of redness was seldom present,-in fact they ought to be called multiple abscesses rather than boils. In one case true boils occurred early. In one bad case of multiple abscesses, necrosis of several parts of the skull took place.

Hemoptysis was very rare, only two cases (on the Hygeia and at Kennedy- town hospital) being serious. Hoematemesis and Melana were equally rare.

Bleeding from nasal or buccal mucous membrane was noticed several times early in the epidemic. Hamaturia was never noticed. Hemorrhage into the conjunc- tiva was noticed in a few cases. Two cases of hypopyon came under observation. In speaking of hemorrhages into the conjunctiva as being occasionally seen it must be noted that congestion of the conjunctiva was very general at the onset of the acute cerebral symptoms.

Every pregnant woinan brought to hospital aborted. All died with one exception. Contrary to what one might have expected none died from uterine haemorrhage, but evidently from the virulence of the disease. In the cases I saw the uterus had contracted well. Hemorrhage from the genital canal was noticed in a few instances, notably in the case where hemorrhagic endometritis was found post mortem.

The following list gives the numbers of those who had apparent hamorrhages in the Government Hospitals. It is possible that one or two more should be on

.

the list, as our Wardmasters could not be expected to note it in cases where the patient came in through the night and died before the doctor's first visit in the morning. Out of about 450 cases there was Hamatemesis in 7; Melana 4; Hamoptysis 4; Epistaxis 2; Hemorrhage from Gums 1; Hemorrhage from Vagina 2; Hamorrhagic Blebs 3; Hemorrhage into conjunctiva 2. Of these 23 cases 18 occurred in May, so that it is evident that haemorrhages were most liable to occur when the disease was most virulent in its epidemic form.

The course of the buboes after formation was one of four: (1) carly resolution, (2) lengthened period of enlargement, (3) suppuration, (4) sloughing.

Early resolution may take place though it was only seen in some mild cases. where the glandular enlargement was slight. Lengthened periods of enlargement occurred in several patients in the Slaughter House Hospital (under native doctors) where the swelling did not go down even after two mouths in hospital. An indu- rated mass sometimes remained on which iodine, mercury and other usual remedies had very slight effect. One of our patients (who was afterwards retained as an attendant) had a glandular mass remaining at the end of four months with practic ally no change in size or consistence. If the patient survived, suppuration was the most frequent termination during the first two months of the epidemic, either alons or combined with sloughing. If the glandular mass was very large there wae generally a slough, caused by the surrounding inflammation and suppuration- which was vividly described by a Chinese nurse as a "mixture of boiled cheese and thread." If the bubo was small it generally terminated in simple suppuration without the separation of any decided slough. Sometimes great necrosis of skin and superficial tissues occurred over the buboes, and the proximity of femoral buboes to the femoral vessels had a tendency to make one over-cautious with the knife. In the case of ALLEN the bubo took six months to heal up, the glands along the iliac vessels having evidently been enlarged, and giving the greatest trouble after suppuration.

Lymphatic abscesses may develop along the line of the lymphatic vessels. This was especially marked in the case of AOYAMA.

For a long time after the acute phase of the disease was over the tissues remain in a very low condition, incisions taking a long time to heal, there being often no appearance of the epidermis growing over an ulcer for weeks. The granulations remained flabby and unhealthy, and there was a well marked line between the granu- lations and the skin, with no attempt at growth of epidermis over the ulceration.

The presence of bacilli in the blood being a most important symptom I make, no excuse for describing it fully, so far as it is necessary for diagnostic purposes. Examination is very easy when one has observed an expert at work, but it is only by attending to every little detail that easy and satisfactory examination can be carried out. Take care to have good clean cover-glasses and slides (we were bothered here very much by having on hand cover-glasses which had become hazy from climatic influences). Cleanse the finger tip with alcohol; allow the alcohol to evaporate; constrict the finger with a small strip of lint; puncture the finger with a pen-nib from which half of the nib has been broken off and which has been sterilised in, the flame of a spirit lamp. With a sterilised platinum point smear a very little blood in a fine layer on the clean cover-glass. Four or six cover-glasses are generally prepared as the bacillus may not be discovered in a solitary preparation. The moment the cover-glass is dry pass it three times through the flame of a spirit lamp with the blood-side away from the wick. See that the flame is a spirit flame and not merely a burning dry wick. Do not wait hours before passing the cover slip through the flame as then the specimen will generally be found useless. After passing through the flame the staining and examination can take place practically at leisure.

Dr. KITASATO found fuchsin the best stain for the bacillus while Dr. YERSIN used gentian violet. It is all a matter of taste I believe and what one is most accustomed to. Personally I find examination may be prolonged with more com- fort to the eye if gentian violet be used or even methyl blue. Fuchsin is the best stain if only a few preparations want examination. The staining fluids ought not to be too concentrated. Place a few drops of the stain on to the cover-glass pre- paration. This is better than floating it in a watch glass, being easier and wast- ing less stain (a matter of consideration in Hongkong). If of methyl blue, at once turn on to a slide, compress the preparation between a couple of layers of blotting paper without "fluff" on it, and the specimen is ready for examination. If fuchsin or gentian violet be used a period of from three to five minutes should be allowed for staining (according to the depth of the colour of the solution) and then the -cover-glass should be washed with distilled water and placed on the slide and dried in the same way as above with blotting paper. If the specimen is to be kept the

water should be slowly evaporated above the flame of the spirit lamp, and mounted in Canada Balsam which has been heated for a few seconds after being on the slide. Then examine with a 1/12th inch oil immersion. The bacilli are often few and far between, but it is of the utmost importance that a careful examination be made in cases where no glandular swelling can be felt and where the diagnosis is doubt- ful. During the latter part of the epidemic about 80% of the cases were diagnosed by the microscope alone, involving many hours' labour a day on what to most people is not interesting work. Once the bacillus is found the case is one of plague. Should the bacillus on the other hand be absent it does not necessarily follow that it is not plague. On one or two occasions we had to wait for the post mortem examination to give us the cause of death. I put a hypodermic needle into the spleen (where the bacilli are generally abundant) in order to verify the diagnosis of one case. If a case is diagnosed plague then this examination completes the chain of evidence. In the case of a bubo which may or may not be a plague one it is advisable to take the blood direct from the gland, by a hypodermic needle or through a small incision with a tenotomy knife. These details are well known to bacteriologists, but unfortunately every one is not a bacteriologist.

For diagnostic purposes it is sometimes necessary to get a culture on agar- gelatine or blood serum. This has to be done in the most careful manner, as far as precautions are concerned, in order to get a satisfactory result, for it is to be remembered that in out-of-the-way places where plague may develop it is not always easy to obtain agar-gelatine or blood serum and even if obtained it is a tedious process to get them properly sterilised. Other points on the bacillus will be touched upon later; what has been written is enough for symptomatic or diagnostic purposes.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS.

When diagnosis has been reduced to a question of microscopic examination there cannot be much to be said upon the subject. The only difficulties we had in determining cases, previous to Dr. KITASATO's discovery, were with bad malarial fever cases, lymphangitis with irritative bubo of leg; one or two inflamed glands of the neck, and enteric fever. As regards intermission of temperature I cannot bear out CABIADIS' statement that no intermission occurs in plague. Intermissions do occur.

A case of mistaken diagnosis No. XII. is given which was diagnosed by us as not plague owing to the absence of head symptoms, and on account of other reasons which are given. Another case of mistaken diagnosis is given which, even before microscopic examination was made, we pronounced to be not plague, because of the absence of a symptomatic tongue, head symptoms, and the pulse usually met with in plague, and on account of the presence of another cause for the illness.

The question as to whether there has or has not been exposure to infection. should weigh little or nothing at all during an epidemic of plague for there are many roundabout methods of infection.

One serious difficulty we had in determining the cause of death in dead bodies required for burial purposes, more especially towards the end of the epidemic. The mortuaries situated in different parts of the Colony had to be examined regularly every day, but as the very idea of post mortem examination had to be kept in the background, the difficulty of being able to tell fairly accurately whether a person had died of plague at once becomes apparent.

If the Chinese had been allowed to remove their bodies, as they wished to do, it might have been expected that plague would break out in outlying places. It is to be remembered that in Hongkong the Chinese are allowed to exhume the dead after an interval of seven years; there was therefore all the more reason for getting every plague corpse buried in a special cemetery where exhumation was not to be allowed. Swollen glands were the first thing to look for, then sordes in the mouth, then the special appearance of the tongue. Often the bodies bore the typical "facies" of the disease after death. The occurrence of the pink blush round mosquito bites, with any hemorrhages apparent, also helped to determine where the corpse should be interred. Micros- copic examination of blood removed from the spleen will probably be the method of diagnosis in these cases in future. Typhoid fever is a disease possible to be mistaken for plague-vide Case XVI.

PROGNOSIS.

There is no one special sign that gives hope for recovery, whilst there are many that are decidedly bad, and which are valued according to the ordinary ideas. of medicine. Buboes do not suppurate as a rule until the primary fever has fallen, by which time you know that the patient is better.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13?? APRIL, 1895.

To imagine that suppuration is a good sign is to put the cart before the horse, the suppuration coming after the recovery from the acute stage of the disease.

I liked to see a patient with three or four copious loose motions per diem, not amounting to diarrhoea. As a rule this was often the patient who was not troubled with vomiting, and whose brain symptoms were not so severe.

In this as in other diseases a good heart, physically and morally, is the best thing a patient can possess.

TREATMENT.

Hospital Prophylaxis,-At the beginning of the epidemic every precaution that we could think of was taken to prevent the infection of attendants. Most of these precautions were useful and necessary, whilst others proved to be more in the nature of luxuries. As our knowledge and experience of the disease progressed we were able to bring down our requirements to fine lines. Plenty of fresh air was a sine qua non, both for patients and attendants. At first attendants were allowed to smoke as they pleased, and as a couple of rabbits died in two days, after inoculation by blood from our first case, nurses had strict orders to be careful of all wounds or scratches on their fingers, and to see that they were dressed with some antiseptic at once. They were ordered to use eucalyptus oil or carbolic acid solution on their hand- kerchiefs, more especially when the hospitals were crowded, but when a more plenti- ful supply of fresh air was forthcoming this was left off. Faces were disinfected by quicklime or carbolic acid, as were all dressings. At the Slaughter House Hospital Jeyes' fluid was used as the disinfectant all along. If at any time the wards smelt badly from any cause, or the stillness and closeness of the atmosphere became oppressive, some eucalyptus oil evaporated over small lamps had a wonderful effect in alleviating the nauseated feeling that sometimes came over the attendants. In the beginning nausea was sometimes brought on by the cigars or pipes which were freely used, but as we gained experience this was all remedied.

All patients' clothes, being practically.worthless, were burned on admission. Patients were given a hot bath, if in a condition to stand it; or were sponged down on the bed. Chinese who were not wildly delirious were placed on the ordinary Chinese bed and mat; but if likely to do themselves harm they were put on a mattress. Mattresses, pillows and mats were burned after being in use some time, the length of time in use depending on the amount of soiling. If we had had a more ample supply of mackintosh sheeting, a large one would have been put on each bed, as being by far the best way of keeping beds in a sanitary condition. One thing to be beware of is not to give purgative medicine to all new patients at the same time. Often when a number of patients had calomel after the evening rounds the nurses had rather a hard time of it the following morning, which delayed the routine work of the hospitals too much. Carbolic acid and permanganate of potash were of necessity freely used in the wards; blankets and sheets being frequently washed in a solution of the former. With the accommodation at our disposal attendants, when unemployed, were kept as far away from the hospital as possible, and plenty of soap and carbolic acid was supplied to them.

Any attendant, complaining of headache, languor, sore throat or fever was immediately relieved from duty. Only healthy people should be allowed to approach plague cases.

Free

Prophylactic measures should consist in remedying the causes that predispose to the disease. During an epidemic personal cleanliness should be carefully observed by those who have any work to do which takes them near the infected district. In addition to the usual daily tub a bath should be taken immediately after coming out of the affected area, some disinfectant like Jeyes' fluid being used in the water. A change of clothes is essential, and those that are discarded should be removed immediately, and exposed to the fresh air. If it is no trouble they may be put through the steam steriliser, but it will be found that free exposure to air in the sunlight will be sufficient. With regard to those who are employed on cleaning or disinfecting houses the following precautions should be observed. smoking should be allowed. The workers should be warned about scratches or wounds on their bodies; and a medical inspection of them should be made every day; those with wounds not being permitted to do the dirty part of the work. Preferable to smoking would be the use of respirators with exit and entrance valves; and a sprinkling of thymol or menthol over the entrance valves. Professor KITASATO suggested oil of peppermint. If smoking goes on then a carbolic mouth-wash should also be insisted on. As regards stimulants, these should be dispensed carefully but not too freely, the nauseating character of the work in a dirty town sometimes suggesting a too occasional glass of whiskey or other alcoholic stimulant. Before

cleaning out houses the furniture &c. should be well washed with carbolic solution, by means of a hand hydrant, and cleaning should proceed whilst the furniture etc. is wet. After removal another good wash with carbolic or quicklime should take place. Chlorine will prove an efficient disinfectant if used in good quantity within a building, the doors and windows being carefully closed. Dirt and rubbish removed should be at once burned. The removal of the healthy from infected houses should be insisted on. They should be transferred at once to some outside encampment. When it is realized that the floating population of Hongkong practically escaped scot free it is a matter for regret that a suggestion made by Surgeon-Major JAMES and myself (on May 31st) to form water camps for the inhabitants of Taipingshan was not acted upon. "To keep the people in Taipingshan separate from those in "the as yet unaffected districts we recommend very strongly as a suggestion that "a water camp be formed, separate from those on the land proposed for the "unaffected districts (whilst a thorough scavenging of the other parts of the "town was going on). Things look so serious that these measures appear to us to be absolutely necessary to prevent a rapid increase of the disease throughout the city and in Taipingshan especially and we beg your most serious consideration "of our proposals." In spite of the remarks made by the special correspondent of the British Medical Journal in its issue of 1st September (Dr. JAMES CANTLIE), I am convinced that an epidemic of plague in Hongkong could be tackled and got under rapidly if men in sufficient number could be got to do the work. Isolated people should be medically inspected every day and fresh cases would soon cease to occur if the camps were looked after in a proper manner.

As regards treatment of the sick, a certain routine of treatment was carried out in most cases. Towards the end of the epidemic a true "survival of the fittest" of the medicines at our disposal occurred.

A ten-grain dose of calomel throughout the epidemic was the usual purgative to commence with; compound jalap powder grains XL was added sometimes, hut as a rule the calomel proved efficient, a seidlitz powder six or eight hours afterwards being occasionally indicated. We began feeding with the most easily assimilable nutrient food that could be got; egg flip and strong beef tea, being the most easily procured and the cheapest, formed the most considerable part of the Chinese diet during the acute stage. Brand's Essence and other patent preparations were also given but did not give so good a return for the money expended; they are expensive without being any improvement upon the egg flip and strong beef tea. Moreover the Brand's Essence is generally disliked by the Chinese. Brandy is not so much disliked. Within ordinary limits any nourishment that a plague patient fancied he had, and we were glad to see him take as much as possible during the first two days of illness before he became delirious, as afterwards the difficulty of getting him to take anything at all was very great. So long as the pulse was good we did not stimulate, but began when dicrotism was evident. Ammonia and cinchona we generally started with (half a drachm each of Sp. Ammon. Co. and Tinct. Cinchon. Co. with an ounce of chloroform water being given as a rule every 4 hours). Digitalis generally required to be added early. Sometimes the infusion was used, sometimes the tincture. Different mixtures were kept in stock and according to the patient's condition either ammonia and cinchona were given alone, or with varying doses of digitalis or with strophanthus added: Strychnia was also given, prescribed alone, as the carbonate of ainunonia precipitates the alkaloid if used with the mixture. One would have expected that digitalis would markedly improve the pulse if the dilatation of vessels were solely due to vasomotor nervous conditions, but it did not. From experience I found strophanthus better, as it never caused the pulse to get worse as digitalis sometimes undoubtedly did. Far better than either, however, is strychnia which we began to use liberally towards the end of the epidemic, and I think that in future cases the routine use of strychnia should be begun early. The dose, of course, varied with the case, but from 5-10 m. of the liquor strychnia by stomach every four hours did not seem at all too large a dose, and I should be inclined to give considerably larger doses than this some- times. Digitalis in theoretical medicine ought to be the best of the drugs above named, but undoubtedly strychnia impressed me as the better drug for the vascular condition. Although it would be scarcely fair to blame digitalis for making all intermittent pulses worse, when intermittency was already evident, yet it certainly did so sometimes. Liq. Ammon. Fort applied to the nostrils was of great use some times in the heart failures which often took place, whilst hypodermic injections of ether at this stage were occasionally a necessity. Whilst the majority of heart failure cases proved rapidly fatal, yet in some cases where treatment was energetic it was wonderful to see how some practically moribund sufferers would rally and sometimes get better. We did not despair even when the pulse could not be felt.

Vomiting was often one of the first symptoms that required treatment and this was usually stopped by an efficient mustard plaster on the epigastrium. Vomiting and diarrhoea rarely went together and the best treatment for the former was to procure satisfactory purgation by calomel. I can only remember one or two cases where vomiting was persistent and obstinate after this treatment. If the above means were not sufficient, ice to suck and some hydrocyanic acid and liq. morphia in an effervescing mixture, given occasionally, generally sufficed to check it. A mustard plaster was also a most efficient application to the epigastrium.

In mild cases small doses of quinine gr. iii thrice a day were sometimes sufficient, with adequate nourishment. Before speaking further of treatment the following axiom must be enunciated-never use depressants if you can possibly do without them. The great tendency to cardiac failure has often been noticed in Bubonic Plague, but I do not suppose its more frequent occurrence due to the introduction of Western medicine has been noted. I must confess that many cases were not benefitted by some of the drugs used--drugs which are so often given with impunity in other serious diseases and in making this statement I am criticising my own as well as my colleagues' treatment. The reason why we did not find out this almost at the beginning of the outbreak was that we had no time to watch the immediate effect of our treatment as there was so much to do, and in many cases which we had marked to watch carefully the patient had succumbed before the next visit was paid.

It has to be borne in mind that we had great difficulties to contend with as regards exact and proper clinical observation at the outbreak of the visitation, there being so many duties to perform-apart from Hospital work-that our medical staff was quite unequal to the strain thrown upon it.

Reduction of temperature was always attempted by tepid sponging, and even then ice had to be freely used as the temperature of the water we had to use was always over 75° F. and generally over 80° F. Patients with a temperature of 104° F. and over were sponged every hour through the day or as nearly every hour a? circumstances would permit. All patients with a high temperature were benefitted by cold applied externally, and this sponging was always the best antipyretic. Antipyrin in large doses was frequently followed by disastrous results, and towards the end of the epidemic grs. v. of phenacetin were given when the pulse was fairly good, phenacetin evidently being less depressing than antipyrin. Not only this but even by the use of large doses of antipyrin or phenacetin tempe- rature was only very occasionally reduced by more than 2° F.; a result not commensurate with the danger run. Brandy and tepid sponging were without doubt the best antipyretics. Aconite and antimony were tried once or twice to commence with; the idea being that by keeping the circulation quiet for 24-48 hours and then stimulating, the patient might have a better chance of pulling through. This treatment was a failure.

The question of procuring sleep was an important one and here morphia was our sheet anchor all through the epidemic. Notwithstanding the fact that in plague we have almost all the contra-indications for the use of morphia yet it was far and away the most serviceable drug. In the early stages of the disease it was often given freely; and in the later stages, used in much smaller doses, it was of equal benefit. Granting its apparent danger, it proved in result much more satisfactory than any other hypnotic used. From one eighth to one half a grain at night was given as a rule with safety at the commencement of sickness, while in later stages gr. re- peated if required, was the general dose. Notwithstanding all this I admit that it is necessary to carefully judge what cases to give it in, and when to give it; and to remember that grave issues must be faced in giving it.

Hyoscin in doses of from 1/200 gr.-1/75 gr. was the next best hypnotic we used. In some cases it acted in a marvellous way, in others it was apparently without effect. Chloral and bromide of potash in combination (the usual doses of grs. xx and grs. xxx respectively) was in many instances quite sufficient, but here the cases were as a rule mild. The ice-bag should be in continuous use. Case I.-our hospital "boy"-was conscious at intervals almost to the last, and the only thing he resented was the removal of the ice-bags when they had to be refilled. The ice bags should be large and one should be placed on the forehead and the other at the nape of the neck.

Blistering of the nape of the neck and lower occipital region was sometimes beneficial. We found the best way to do this was to use the emplastrum lytta as Dr. HORDER suggested, viz., by repeated but short applications just to prevent vesication. Of Leiter's tubes we had none, and the imitations we got made by Chinese workmen were not a success consequently they were not tried.

Thirst in European patients was more marked than in the Chinese, and the soldiers attacked seemed to thrive on beer and stout which had been well iced. This was what they preferred to have and I must say it did excellently well, being at once stimulant, soporific, nutritious, and thirst quenching. Ice cream made with pure cream was also greatly relished by the European patients.

As regards diarrhoea the best results were got from salol grs. x every 4 hours. Naphthol and other similar drugs would probably have been equally good but were not so easily procurable. In another epidemic some of these so-called intestinal anti- septics should be freely used, as they do no harm as a rule, and the possibility of diminishing the virulency of the faces by their means should not be overlooked. Mist Astring c. Opio was of little avail. Enemata of starch and opium were not of much use either, being seldom retained for more than a minute. If straining was troublesome a suppository of morphia gr. and cocaine gr. as a rule brought about comparative comfort after two or three introductions. The treat- ment of the bubo resolved itself into simple methods. Glycerine and belladonna at the beginning of the epidemic was the most useful applications, on account of the painful character of the swelling; whilst later, when suppuration did not take place so often, iodine proved the more useful application. In the earlier period of the epidemic this drug would have had no more effect than ditch water. When- ever redness appeared we poulticed at once and opened; whenever pus was diagnosed, we opened freely and drained; iodoform being the best application, the bacilli in the swelling disappearing from the discharge in a few days. It was very necessary to ensure good drainage, as if imperfect, burrowing was almost sure to be very troublesome. Bladder trouble,-Retention, Cystitis &c.,-had to be met by catheterization, diluent drinks, strychnia,-in fact ordinary treatment; lung trouble by ordinary medical measures; the addition of a little senega to the ammonia, cinchona and digitalis being as a rule quite sufficient to bring about improvement. Pneumonia was treated secundum artem as it arose and we soon learnt to keep a sharp lookout for it, especially after the first fever.

Camphor was given to Professor AOYAMA, (as it was one of his favourite drugs) as a cardiac stimulant. It could not do harm, but we took good care to let him have plenty of ammonia, brandy, digitalis, &c., as well.

AOYAMA himself, before his attack, had suggested in the wards that digitalis folia would probably be the most satisfactory method of exhibiting this drug-his suggestion was applied in his own case, but without any specially marked good effect.

When it is borne in mind that the loss of hamoglobin was noted as an import- ant symptom from the very beginning of the outbreak, the possibility of the transfusion of healthy blood naturally suggested itself as likely to be at least a small help in treatment. Some experimenters maintain that it is no use, or rather that salt and water is as good. I doubt it. Not only would the amount of hamoglobin be increased, but fresh and healthy leucocytes would be introduced into the patient's system, and there is no knowing what assistance this might not be to the fighting line of the person attacked. When Captain VESEY was so ill we had numerous volunteers from his regiment to give blood if the course of the case proved suitable for the operation, but as in his case the hamoglobin did not fall below 40% and his lung and brain symptoms were so acute, the occasion did not occur. In one case where a Chinaman had been lying in a collapsed condition for almost two days we transfused him with a hot saline solution with the result that his circulation improved for some hours, but he again sank into his former state of collapse and died. The fluid was injected at a temperature of 110° F. in the funnel, and had a distinctly beneficial effect on his general condition, but it was only temporary as we expected it would be.

A supply of oxygen for inhalation was kept ready for all the European and Japanese patients. When administered it always improved the pulse and respira- tion for a short time. It was only used in the worst cases-the trouble of prepara- tion and administration, and the want of time preventing an extended experience of it being gained.

Injection of iodide of mercury into the bubo was tried at the Alice Memorial Branch Hospital but I do not think with success. We tried carbolic acid in a few cases but it was useless. I do not think that these injections can ever be of the slightest good after the disease has developed, as the greater part of the solution cannot be absorbed, and the amount necessary to counteract the poison would simply assist in killing the patient.

Nitrite of amyl and nitroglycerine were suggested by some enthusiasts as suitable drugs to be used in heart failure in the later stages. They were never tried as in my opinion they would only have made the vascular condition worse.

MORBID ANATOMY.

On opening the abdomen in only a few cases could the spleen be seen coming below the ribs. It was however always somewhat enlarged and hyperamic. In consistence it was softer than normal but not diffluent as is sometimes met with in malignant malarial cases. The malpighian bodies were always swollen and well marked. There were occasionally small punctate subcapsular hamorrhages, these were never large on the surface of the spleen. In one or two post mortems consider- ably enlarged spleens were met with, but in my opinion the enlargements were principally due to malarial causes, and this seemed to be borne out by the greatly thickened and fibrous capsules. This would not be likely to happen in the course of a week's illness. Towards the end of the epidemic very few hamorrhages were found on the surface of the spleen, or in fact anywhere.

The liver as a rule showed no marked enlargement. It was generally soft and more friable than normal. Occasionally small hamorrhages were seen on the upper surface-punctate in character. It was generally somewhat paler than usual, but in two cases the substance was deeply bile-stained. The gall bladder was almost always full of dark brown tarry bile-on very few occasions post mortem was it found really distended. The kidneys were usually congested, with occasional small subcapsular hamorrhages; none were seen in the substance of the kidney.

In the mesentery very large hamorrhages were sometimes met with, and these seemed to be largest in cases where the glandular affection partook of a large hamorrhagic character. Hamorrhage on the serous coat of the stomach was not seen. On the mucous surface they were occasionally seen, and here again they were always punctate in character. The small intestine was occasionally inflamed somewhat, and here on several occasions Peyer's patches were distinctly affected, rising slightly above the surrounding surface, and presenting a retiform appearance. On a few occasions some of the solitary glands in the large intestine showed a similar inflammation. The mesenteric glands were almost always enlarged; some- times slightly, generally markedly, and occasionally considerably. When small they were of a dark blue or purple colour, with no hemorrhage into or around them. As the size of the gland enlarged there seemed to be a greater tendency to a sero-sanguineous effusion around, as in the case of the externally apparent buboes. Hamorrhage into the ovary (considerable) was met with once, and also a hamorr- hagic endometritis.

The lungs were generally somewhat congested and dark at their bases, and occasionally some fluid was found in the pleura ; but this was never seen in quantity say of a pint. Pneumonia was present in a few cases. Hamorrhages were rare on the visceral pleura; on the parietal pleura they were not seen at all. In two or three cases of persons who died late (.e., after the tenth day) in the disease mul- tiple abscesses were found, pyamic in character. The bronchial glands were often enlarged although rarely to a great degree. I never saw any of the bronchial glands exhibit the hamorrhagic type sometimes found in the mesentery. The larynx was sometimes congested and inflamed, but this was co-existent usually with large cervical glandular enlargement, though by no means invariably so.

In some of the early cases we found the left side of the heart firmly contracted, with the right side dilated. In almost every case examined the right side of the heart was dilated, but in some of these cases we were rather surprised to find the left contracted--it was perhaps to be expected that it might be empty or almost so, but not in the firm condition in which we found it. To my mind this calls for thoughtful consideration, and I regret that a reasonable explanation does not suggest itself to me at present. On a few occasions a small amount (a few ounces) of pericardial fluid was present. The substance of the heart in those who had been ill for several days was generally softer and paler than usual-inflamma- tion going on to fatty degeneration. Under the visceral pericardium on several occasions punctate hamorrhages were seen-none upon the endocardium. No fresh endocarditis or pericarditis was seen. Antemortem clots were frequently found, especially on the right side; these were generally small however, and did not fill

up the cavities, a large quantity of fluid dark watery blood being also present, whilst the vena cava were generally distended by the same fluid.

The thyroid gland was never enlarged except when evidently due to direct extension of the inflammatory mischief in the neck. The thymus in a child was in one case the seat of a large abscess, co-existent with pyamnic abscesses of the lungs.

On opening the skull the meninges were invariably found to be hyperemic, as was frequently the brain matter. In a few cases there was an increase of cerebro-spinal fluid, but this was seldom marked. Both the dural and pial

membranes were generally bright red all over the brain, and occasionally the grey matter underneath was rosy red showing a condition of acute cerebritis. The longitudinal and lateral sinuses were generally full of the dark fluid watery blood. At the base the congestion of meinbranes, and even the Pons and Medulla them- selves, was most marked. Hamorrhages were rare in the substance of the brain itself, only on three occasions did I see a hamorrhage in the Pons Varolii, others had been diagnosed during life but not found post mortem.

As regards the glands which are affected one met possibly with only one markedly enlarged, or many lymphatic glands in the body enlarged either slightly or to a very great extent. In the early cases, as I have already mentioned, the enlargement in one special region seemed to swamp the interest taken in the rest of the glandular system. The enlarged glands principally affected were generally surrounded by a sero-sanguineous exudation, in the midst of which a hamorrhagic gland, or glands, was situated. Only in two or three instances was pus actually met with in these on the post mortem table. The periglandular effusion was in a few cases very great round a small gland, and sometimes the ?dema would extend round this further still; whilst often a chain of glands would be greatly enlarged without any surrounding exudation at all. As the epidemic went on the extravasated fluid becaine gradually less, and at the end of the epidemic it was seldom seen, the slightly enlarged gland or glands being generally clearly seen as a dark blue body distinctly outlined in the surrounding fatty or subcutaneous tissues (referring to the femoral glands which were generally first cut down on).

Sometimes a very great amount of oedema was present in the neighbourhood of the bubo.

MORTALITY.

Taking the total number of deaths and recoveries amongst the Chinese (as far as official figures go) the death-rate was 93.4 %. Amongst Indians it was 77 %; Japanese, 60%; Eurasians, 100%; Europeans, 18.2 %.

I have no doubt that one cause of the heavy mortality amongst Chinese was the want of efficient medical attention and nursing in the early days of their illness. Many died in their houses without the slightest attendance. The Chinese admitted to European Hospitals only came in after having been several days sick, when the most favourable opportunity for treatment had passed. The cases which lived longest, or which recovered, were usually under treatment from almost the beginning of their illness. All the Europeans were under treatment at an early date as were several of the Japanese who recovered; and although some of the European cases were not severe I think that early and suitable treatment had a great deal to do with the diminished mortality. I regret to say, that with the Eurasians this was not so. Two of these were under treatment early but both died, whilst another case which was not diagnosed early died on the seventh (?) day. There is no doubt that European blood and stamina had a good deal to do with recovery, and I say this notwithstanding the fact that they were necessarily more carefully nursed and looked after than some of the Chinese. It must always be borne in mind that an intelligent European had every chance in his favour; he was in the first instance very jealous of his earliest departure from health, and lost no time in placing himself in communication with experienced help: then he was able to explain his own symptoms in his own tongue to a medical man who spoke and understood the same language. Again he had confidence in the power of western medicine to help him, and he was untroubled by the constant dread of the "foreign doctor" which environs not only every ignorant coolie, but the vast majority of the more or less cultured classes of the Chinese nation.

CONVALESCENCE AND AFTER EFFECTS.

In

When a bubo was opened I found that iodoform was the best application for insufflating purposes. After a couple of days' treatment by plugging with lint soaked in carbolic oil and smeared over with iodoform the bacilli usually disappeared from the discharge. This was due, I think, to the antiseptics employed and not to any possible death of the bacilli by the growth of staphylococcus in the pus. some lymphatic abscesses (in the case of Professor AOYAMA,) which had been present for several days before opening, the bacilli were found in numbers. Hot corrosive sublimate fomentations were the best external applications in most cases, being cleanly and easily applied. Where the bubo was large, dirty, and discharging freely, poultices of linseed, either alone, or with charcoal and dusted over with iodoform, were preferable. Suppuration was sometimes prolonged for a month or more, and where this was so a careful examination sometimes revealed a large.

slough which had completely separated, but which still caused a good deal of suppuration (one more reason why one should open the primary bubo freely). The use of iodine, iodide of potash ointment. mercury, &c. locally, all seemed useless even in the later stages of the bubo which had not suppurated. Treat the debility, and the bubo will disappear of its own accord was what our experience taught us. Not only this but the irritation caused by these applications sometimes led to unpleasant results, which it was well to avoid. As a rule an open bubo took from one to three months to close, very few healed under a month. Keloid formation on the site of bubo was frequent in the Mongolian subject. Several cases have come to Hospital lately to be seen.

The vitality of the tissues after plague reached a lower point, I think, than it does after any other debilitating acute disease. In most cases there was not the slightest reaction of the tissues, if cut they remained almost in statu quo for days, and granulating wounds were generally called "granulating" by courtesy.

It was only to be expected that head symptoms would occasionally persist for some time. Irritability, perversity of temper, and headache occurred frequently, and even a temporary aberration of mind in some cases.

The condition of the vascular system generally improved rapidly-after the fever disappeared-under iron, strychnia and arsenic, but even here palpitation, breathlessness, and other signs of cardiac weakness persisted for a time.

                                    No case of permanent cardiac valvular mischief have I yet noticed however in any of the European patients. In convalescence digitalis has not been prescribed. In the few cases where symptoms of oedema of lung, or pneumonia, persisted after the fall of temperature the condition improved by good food, tonics, and the occasional application of iodine externally to the chest.

In some cases the sloughing was extensive, and extended by the lymphatic vessels. In these cases no attempt to heal up took place until the general tone of the system improved.

I have seen some cases lie absolutely comatose for several days in the Chinese Hospital and recover in a most marvellous manner, but these were the exceptions. The mere fact that a man was comatose for so long a time as four days would point to a bad prognosis; yet in the Slaughter House several cases lay in that condition almost uncared for and recovered without a bad symptom afterwards.

Death occurs by-

(a) Sudden heart failure.

In some cases the slightest exertion caused death, even in those who seemed to be convalescent; and it was of the utmost importance that all movement out of bed be disallowed. Some cases had this failure brought on while on the bed pan. Others jumped out of bed in delirium only to be put back, practically pulseless, to die.

(b) Gradual heart failure depending on brain conditions and cardiac

weakness.

In these cases the lungs were usually edematous, and the combination of brain and dyspnoea generally brought about a rapidly fatal result.

(c) Extension of the inflammatory mischief in the neck by causing

obstruction.

In these cases nothing could really be done as the state of the patient when it occurred would have made tracheotomy a difficult if not a totally ineffective operation, and would in all human probability have proved fatal. In these cases the amount of oedema and sero-sanguineous exudation all round the anterior part of the neck would have made the operation so tedious that the patient would probably have died before its completion. (d) Hamoptysis.

The cause of a couple of deaths. (e) Hamorrhage after sloughing buboes.

Two cases of sloughing into the iliac arteries occurred and death took place almost instantaneously.

THE BACILLUS.

The Bacillus was found in practically every part of the body to which the blood has access. It was especially abundantly found in the enlarged glands and in the spleen. It was found in the other organs of the body and in the blood, but in fewer numbers. In the bubo and in the spleen they were found in much greater numbers in June than they were in September, and I have no doubt that they are always more numerous in cases where a large hamorrhagic bubo is present. Slight variation in size was met with. The bacillus taken from the blood looks like a diplococcus, when stained with aniline dyes, the intermediate part only staining slightly. The bacillus taken from the bubo stains almost equally all over at first, but after keeping specimens for some time many of them show the appearance of those found in the blood, the staining of the interglobular part of the bacillus evidently not catching hold of that part so well. The bacilli vary slightly in size even in the same case. The capsule of the bacillus is usually distinct under the 1/12th oil immersion lens, and is best seen in some of the bacilli from a bubo where the interpolar part is not too deeply stained. The bacilli grow most abundantly on blood serum or glycerine agar agar at a temperature of from 96-100° F. The blood serum is not liquified. A culture from blood shows small. grey semi-translucent colonies over the surface of the serum. Spore formation has not been noticed. When animals that are susceptible are inoculated with a cul- ture they get rapidly affected and die in a few days, the length of time varying generally according to their (the animals') size. Mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs are susceptible to the disease. The only pig that I inoculated is still alive, but as I have doubts as to the virulency of the culture a definitive opinion cannot yet be given as to the susceptibility of these animals. Dogs have not yet been proved to be susceptible. The question of the infection of pigs is of the greatest importance, as so much of the meat supply of Hongkong consists of pigs brought from Pakhoi and Canton, where the disease may become endemic. Strict measures may have to be taken in the case of a recrudescence of the disease in Canton. I can only say that so far as it has been noticed dogs seem to have escaped; dead dogs in the streets being conspicuous by their absence. Whenever a fresh culture of bacilli can be obtained this point will be cleared up.

After animals which had been inoculated died, the point of inoculation was found on dissection to present almost the same appearance as the peri-bubonic tissue in man. The spleen was generally enlarged, and in rats there was well marked enlargement of the lymphatic glands. Feeding animals on plague flesh and on buboes generally resulted in their death a few days after.

A one per cent. solution of carbolic killed the bacilli after an hour's application. A two per cent. solution killed practically immediately. Quicklime was almost as efficacious. Four days' exposure of the bacilli to fresh air generally killed them--no positive results being obtained from culture after that exposure-whilst bacilli exposed directly to the sun proved innocuous after four hours. (Temperature of Black bulb being from 150°-160° F.)

I have already mentioned that the bacillus may be found in the blood six weeks after the acute stage of the disease has passed; but this statement must be qualified by the remark that, in the later stages of the disease, it was found that they had generally disappeared in about three weeks.

Patients were not discharged from Kennedytown and Hygeia Hospitals until the bacilli had disappeared from the blood; but at the Chinese Hospital they were generally kept about two months, i.c., those who recovered.

QUESTION OF QUARANTINE.

On this much debated subject it is perhaps best to say as little as possible. The question of quarantine, or the medical prevention of the introduction of disease must be decided by each country according to the sanitary state it is in; and upon the history of the disease as I have given it, and upon the facts there recorded the question will have to be settled. The great danger undoubtedly arises in most cases from its introduction by emigrants and their clothing from infected ports. Introduction by merchandise from an infected port though possible is very improbable indeed. If quarantine is to be imposed it is to be remembered that the incubation period has been proved to extend to nine days. I have no hesitation in saying that if immigration was disallowed in non-affected ports quarantine would be unnecessary; but if emigrants from an infected port are allowed to land then quarantine should be enforced, and more particularly so in the case of Chinese. Their baggage in

#

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

particular should be most carefully disinfected as the ways of the "heathen Chinee" are just as peculiar in the matter of clothing as they are in some other things. The risk of the introduction of the disease by other immigrants (the ordinary first and second class passengers) is practically nil.

ADMINISTRATIVE.

On May 10th when the epidemic was first discovered the Government Medical Staff available for service was composed of the following Europeans :-

Colonial Surgeon, Acting Superintendent Government Civil Hospital, Messrs. CROW and BROWNE, nine Sisters, Mr. CHAPMAN, Steward, Wardmaster BRETT, Government Civil Hospital, Wardmasters CUM- MING and BAYLEY, Lunatic Asylum.

On the discovery of the outbreak on 11th May, the hospital hulk Hygeia was moved from behind Stonecutter's Island to West Point, within easy reach of the shore, and every preparation was made for receiving a large number of patients on board. These patients did not arrive on that date as was at first arranged owing to difficulty with the Tung Wah Hospital authorities, but early on Saturday, 12th May, all the plague-affected Chinese in the Tung Wah were removed to the ship, after a prolonged interview between the Colonial Surgeon, Mr. MAY and myself, and the Chinese Committee of that hospital. On this day Police Constables GIDLEY and MCKILLOP were seconded for service in this Department.

On the evening of 13th May, Surgeon PENNY, R.N., having volunteered for service, reported himself for duty whilst Surgeon-Major JAMES of the Army Medical Staff was also sent to assist us and commenced work on the 14th, chiefly under the orders of the Sanitary Board.

On 14th May, owing to the rapidity with which the Hygeia had been filled, Kennedytown Police Barracks was placed at our disposal and was immediately opened as a hospital.

On the 11th May, fourteen Chinese "boys," cooks, and coolies were secured to act as nurses on the Hygeia, and also three amahs; and on 14th May, eleven more attendants were engaged for Kennedytown; the European staff being dis- tributed between the Government Civil Hospital, Asylums, Hygeia, and Kennedy- town with orders to remain at their posts until relieved.

On the morning of the 15th May, it was discovered that almost all the attend- ants at Kennedytown had disappeared--notwithstanding the fact that they were receiving double wages-and in addition several of the Hygeia attendants also decamped-having either swam ashore or dropped into the sea to reach adjacent sampans--whilst the other nurses had been looking after the sick. The Chinese Apothecaries, UI KAI and CHAU KAM-TSUN, had been detailed to superintend the dispensary and the administration of medicines, one being stationed at Kennedy- town, and the other on the Hygeia; whilst the Chinese clerks, LEUNG FU-CHU and LEUNG PING-FAI, had to keep the registers, and procure as much information about cases as possible. The result of this was that on 16th May in addition to the Medical Officers, the following was the staff that was practically doing twenty- four hours' duty on the Hygeia:-

Two Sisters.

Police Constable J. MCKILLOP, Wardmaster. Police Constable T. I. GIDLEY, Wardmaster. A Po, Chinese Wardmaster.

One Chinese Apothecary.

LEUNG PING-FAI, second clerk.

There were also about fourteen Chinese "boys" and coolies to assist. The boatswain and one caretaker of the Hygeia (who were in charge of the ambulance boat) had also disappeared. The above staff had to do the whole of the work of getting patients up the gangway, washed, put to bed, given nourishment and medicine, removed when dead, coffined, and conveyed to Kennedytown by boat for burial. In fact they had to do everything but dig the graves and fill them up.

At Kennedytown the following was the only available staff:-

Two Sisters.

Wardmaster CUMMING.

One Chinese Apothecary.

A CHING, Chinese Wardmaster,

and about a dozen "boys" with an occasional hour's help from some of the Hygeia staff, whilst bodies from the hulk were awaiting burial. The Medical Officers generally had to lend a hand at anything that required to be done.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

On 19th May, we arranged to retain the services of Dr. W. F. C. Lowson for additional work. It should be mentioned that at this time the work at the Govern- ment Civil Hospital was very heavy, the result being that every European was doing on an average sixteen hours' duty per diem, the surgical work at the Govern- ment Civil Hospital being much more important than is usual.

On 21st May, the Glassworks Hospital was opened and this relieved our staff to a certain extent. The hygiene of this hospital however caused us a great deal of trouble, and it was only by the occasional employment of extreme measures that this place was prevented from becoming a certain death trap to every one who

entered it.

On 15th May six Petty Officers from the Victor Emanuel were detailed to assist us with the launches-the Chinese crews having shown a disinclination to work-and as a result of their help the conveyance of the living and the dead was greatly accelerated. It also relieved us of the necessity of sending a Wardmaster with the dead to Kennedytown. The necessity of water transit was also diminished, as the sick for Kennedytown now began to be taken by road-not quite so com- fortable a method of conveyance as by boat but one which saved the Medical De- partment a lot of trouble.

On the 27th May six Alice Memorial Hospital students were engaged by the Permanent Committee to assist; two to look after the sanitation of the Glassworks, and four to assist in town work. The weather at this time was very depressing being very hot and wet, and oilskins and sou'westers were absolutely necessry for any one venturing out of doors.

On the 28th May the ventilation of the Glassworks had to be improved by removing all the glass from the windows.

On the 29th May Wardmaster GIDLEY and all the Chinese on the Hygeia were removed to Kennedytown, as I expected that Europeans might soon be at- tacked by the disease. This apprehension was justified as one Shropshire man was admitted the same afternoon, and two on the following day. After this the Hygeia was kept solely for Europeans, Japanese and Eurasians, no more Chinese being taken on board.

On the 31st May it was discovered that the Alice Memorial students had fled from the Glassworks, some of their relatives having unfortunately died, but we soon got help from the Army and Navy Authorities as Privates J. R. MAKIN and H. E. HUSSEY of the Army Medical Staff Corps were seconded (on the 8th June) for services in the Glassworks; whilst Sick-Bay Steward MITCHELL, and Sick-Bay man GEORGE SMITH from the Naval Hospital arrived on the 9th to render further assistance; and improvement in the condition of that place at once took place; the result of obedience to our orders

On the 7th June I offered to take charge of the whole of the nursing and medical department, an offer made because the Chinese had mismanaged (medically and sanitarily) the Glassworks Hospital; and also because we had been promised assistance, in the way of attendants by Major-General BARKER. We were quite in a position to make this offer as a result of our experience of the previous month, and also from the fact that we were now fairly well provided with medical men. However the Permanent Committee said "no."

"

The Slaughter House Hospital was opened on 8th June-a building well suited for the occasion, with brick walls, concrete floors, fairly good ventilation, and easily kept clean. In my opinion, however, it was not nearly so good as the old Cattle Depot which, in addition to good drainage and floors, had magnificent ventilation, long stalls, which would have made splendid wards; equally easily kept clean; and where a small nursing staff could have looked after a large number of patients.

By Saturday, June 16th, all the patients in the Glassworks had been removed. to Canton or to the Slaughter House Hospital and the place was shut up.

The Matshed erected opposite the Glassworks was opened on June 17th under the medical supervision of the Alice Memorial Hospital Staff. Owing to the want of proper drainage here, and to the usual tendency of the Chinese, when not looked after, to throw rubbish about, an insanitary pool of rubbish accumu- lated at the southern end of the shed which had to be carefully watched to prevent The ventilation of the matshed was necessarily good, as large open spaces had been left between the walls and the roofs, and windows and doors were plentiful. This hospital was closed on July 21st the experiment having proved rather expensive.

a recurrence.

On June 19th Dr. J. F. MOLYNEUX arrived from Ningpo to assist in the medical work and on June 24th Surgeons MEADEN, R.N., and BEARBLOCK, R.N., also arrived, and-under the orders of the Permanent Committee-proceeded with the inspection

1

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

of junks and vessels arriving from Canton and Macao. Their services were really not required as, with the co-operation of Dr. MOLYNEUX, the staff associated with me was now quite sufficient for the work which had to be done. A judicious interchange of work however enabled the latest arrivals to see a good lot of the plague, and allowed some of those who had been working on shore all along to have a few days fresh air on the water. The junk inspection might have been effective two months earlier,

Dr. MOLYNEUX left on 19th July; Surgeons BEARBLOCK and MEADEN about the end of same month.

On 10th August all the patients in the Slaughter House Hospital were removed to Kennedytown Hospital, and the former place was cleaned up and thoroughly disinfected by carbolic acid, all fittings which had been used being burned. The Alice Memorial Matshed on closing was disinfected by carbolic acid freely applied to the floors, whilst most removables in the way of beds, tables, &c. were burned, or freely treated with carbolic acid. A typhoon in September completed the dis- infection by blowing the shed out of sight. The disinfection of the Glassworks was done by carbolic acid and quicklime applied to the walls; all wooden floors being removed and burnt, and the refuse added to the flames. The Hygeia was closed on August 8th, the two European patients being transferred to the Civil Hospital. Disinfection here was done by carbolic acid and fresh air,

Kennedytown Hospital was closed on September 26th, the remaining patients being removed to the small-pox observation hut in the Civil Hospital grounds. This hospital was also disinfected by carbolic acid, whilst the convalescent matshed adjoining was conveniently removed piecemeal by successive typhoons in Septem- ber and October. This matshed had been erected early in June, it being essential to transfer patients to another ward after the acute stage of the disease was over. By this arrangement we had always two lots of patients, one lot requiring very little actual nursing, and the other lot all together in the place where the nursing had to be done.

The Hygeia proved a most valuable hospital for Europeans, every medical visitor being greatly impressed with its suitability for this purpose providing as it did plenty of fresh air, every breeze in the harbour, no mosquitoes, and the charm of sea life during convalescence. It would probably have gone very hard with some of the European patients and the Japanese doctors had they been treated on shore, every slight breeze in the harbour bringing great relief to the sufferers. When the rush of Chinese patients came, however, the ship was rather taxed for accommodation, as one private ward had to be used as a mortuary, another as an office, and the others to accommodate the extra staff, &c., which was necessary. Her use as a European hospital during last summer alone has more than justified her existence.

Kennedytown Barracks proved a fairly good hospital, but its proximity to the trees on Mount Davis made it a hunting ground for flies and mosquitoes which sometimes added greatly to our patients' sufferings. The arrangements of the rooms also left much to be desired.

The Commissariat of the Chinese Hospitals at the Glassworks and at the Slaughter House Hospital was in charge of the Chinese themselves. In the Glass- works the food was principally used by the attendants, the patients not requiring very much or when receiving it receiving what was unsuitable. As one or two cases began to recover however the arrangements began to improve, and at the Slaughter House Hospital, when affairs were running smoothly, the commissariat was efficient as far as supply was concerned. The supplies and furnishings to the Hygeia, Kennedytown Hospital and Alice Memorial Branch were under the charge of Mr. ROBERT CHAPMAN, the Steward at the Government Civil Hospital, with Sergeant SMITH, R.A., specially detailed to assist him in Alice Memorial Branch work from June 20th to July 21st. The amount of work done by Mr. CHAPMAN was almost incredible, and I trust that the Government may be able to satisfactorily reward this officer, who was constantly at work from shortly after five A.M. till ten It must be remembered that all this time he had his Civil Hospital work to do also; and when one considers that on no single occasion was there any delay in the delivery of or want of supplies one can only come to the conclusion that it was a hard bit of work well done.

Dispensary hours were long at the commencement of the epidemic, but after getting large supplies of "stock" mixtures made we were able to arrange matters so as to allow Mr. CROW and Mr. BROWNE to devote a considerable amount of time to disinfecting work in the town.

395

396

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

The details as to the changes of the nursing staff were left to Miss EASTMOND, our Matron, and we were able to arrange that the sisters, after being on plague duty for a week, were on duty during the following week at the Civil Hospital, where the work though as heavy was not disgusting or depressing.

During the epidemic two wards were kept at the Government Civil Hospital for observation purposes. This was necessary as cases of plague turned up at this hospital during the night; and as coolies to transfer them to Kennedytown at once could not be procured even at very high wages these had to be kept till morning.

If ever this Colony has had reason to congratulate itself it was when we were able to procure well-trained British nurses. I think the greatest compliment that I can pay these ladies is to say that had it not been for their presence there could have been no well-run epidemic hospital during last summer. Amateur nurses at the beginning of an epidemic, or indeed at any stage where there is a rush, are worse than useless, and multiply the worries of a medical officer ad infinitum ; not only this but all outsiders took care to give our hospitals a wide berth.

                                      When the hospitals were crowded it was often a matter of difficulty for the Medical Officers employed to keep their meals on their stomachs. It would have been much harder if they had had to remain in constant attendance all the time as our Sisters had to do. Small-pox is bad, but there is something specially awe inspiring in plague which seems to appal the onlooker. Cholera and small-pox show external evidences which make a spectator aware of the existence of a severe disease, but to witness rows of plague patients dying off in a hospital has, I am sure, a much more depressing effect on by-standers than the two diseases I have mentioned.

The carbolic mouth-wash for the soldiers employed in cleansing work was made up regularly twice a day at the Civil Hospital for some weeks, the following formula being used :-

ft gargarisma.

R. Ac. Carbolic Liquid,

Eau de Cologne, Spirit Camphor, Aquam ad,

m. 160

m. 140

m. 180

0. IV

Quinine in 5-grain doses was also served out to every soldier by the Army Authorities.

Among the attendants at the various hospitals there is evidence of at least three deaths. The Italian sister who died of the disease was nursing at the Alice Memorial branch hospital, and got infected by excessive zeal. Her death was very much regretted, as it was the only death in a European hospital; and we had by this time got so far through the epidemic without loss that it seemed probable every attendant would come out safely. The dangers of nursing should have been carefully pointed out to her. An amah at the Slaughter House hospital became infected and died after removal to Lai-Chi-Kok. An attendant at Lai- Chi-Kok hospital, finding himself attacked by plague, promptly came over to Hongkong and walked up to Kennedytown hospital, where he afterwards died. It is to me a source of keen gratification that none of the attendants in the Government Hospitals were attacked.

Rules had to be made regarding visitors in the Chinese Hospitals, as many people wanted to see friends and relations. These rules were simple-(1) Visitors had to be escorted by the Chinese policeman, and might talk to a patient for five minutes but without touching him. (2) Anyone wanting to stay longer and assist a patient was detained, and reckoned as an ordinary hospital attendant until the patient was better, and then had to undergo a few days' isolation and disinfection. We were able to keep an observation ward in the Slaughter House Hospital.

It will be noticed that in August and September the proportion of observation cases was large. It was most essential at this period that all possible foci of disease should be removed; and it must be remembered too that at this stage of the epidemic, apparent glandular swellings were seldom met with. Of the fifty-one cases of plague admitted in August only eight had visible buboes when admitted; whilst only two developed them in hospital.

The Chinese figures are difficult to work out owing to so many removals having taken place. The above are the numbers where definite results as to recovery or death are known.

Of the 1,627 persons admitted to the Slaughter House Hospital alive 1,037 were males and 590 females. Of the 828 bodies brought in dead 472 were males and 356 females. Considering the comparative smallness of the Chinese female population it will be seen that they suffered severely. By last census the proportion of females

397

398

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

to males was only 23:57. This heavier female mortality was only to be expected when it is remembered that women and children were practically confined to the houses in the infected areas every hour of the twenty-four; whilst the men were generally absent during the day, and in many cases slept in the streets at night, a thing which the women as a rule are not accustomed to do.

Out of the 2,619 Chinese cases we had reliable information as to age in 2,050 instances. The following table gives the numbers of those affected in the different decades of life:--

TIME OF OUTBREAK.

The question as to when the epidemic started in Hongkong cannot be satisfac- torily settled now.

The statements made in certain medical quarters here that the plague was raging in Hongkong early in April cannot be entertained by any thoughtful person who has taken the trouble to study the question. The evidence, on which these conclusions were based, was obtained from Chinamen, who are notoriously deficient. in the art of truthful description; and its value is further discounted by the fact that it was freely stated that the disease had been here either "for years" or "as long as could be remembered." Add to this that these statements were only made after the epidemic had been raging for some time, when every Chinaman was wildly excited, and I think it will be conceded that no credence can be put on such state-

ments.

Personally I believe that the first deaths took place in the early days of May. The mortality statistics cannot be depended on in this Colony as far as the proper registration of the cause of death is concerned, but the number of deaths given by the Registrar General may be looked upon as not far wide of the mark. These numbers were as follows from the 1st April till 9th May, Chinese only in this list :-

These figures are significant. From the 3rd to the 9th May the average daily number of deaths had risen somewhat but to nothing like the numbers which occurred afterwards. Moreover the number of Chinese burials during the first week of May was not excessive, and did not show any evidence pointing to an earlier period of outbreak. If people had been dying in great numbers their bodies. must have either been buried, or remained in the houses; and it was noticeable that scarcely a single body found by the search parties was in an advanced stage of decomposition.

We know that plague corpses decompose rapidly, more especially in the hot weather, so that the evidence given above, although not conclusive, is about as nearly so as it can possibly be.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

QUESTION OF INFECTION OF Soil.

*

A great amount of interest has centred round the district known as Taiping- shan during the past months. The area which was walled in was undoubtedly one of the most noticeably infected parts of the City of Victoria, though First, Second, and Third Streets in the Saiyingpun district were equally bad. Much general interest has been taken on this head owing to the resumption of the land by the Government, money matters having entered largely into this question in a purely mercantile community like Hongkong, where anything of a temporary commercial character always commands the greatest attention.

Taipingshan (by this I mean the closed area) was shut up :-

1st. Because it was badly infected.

2nd. Because in the opinion of the Medical Officers connected with the plague, the majority-if not all-of the houses were not fit for human habitation at that time.

The first of these reasons needs no further demonstration when it is stated that it was difficult to find a house which had not a case of plague in it, while most of them had more than three cases.

The second cause has been demonstrated in the medical part of this report, and may be briefly summarised thus:--

(a) Filth everywhere, scavenging being conspicuous by its merely no-

minal presence as far as the front door.

(b) Overcrowding undoubted.

(c) The absence or very meagre provision of light and ventilation in

most of the houses.

(d) Basements abutting upon retaining walls and with floor surfaces

formed of filth-sodden soil.

(e) "cocklofts," i.e., mezzanine floors, and cubicles which effectually led

to overcrowding and prevented the entrance of light and air.

Taipingshan having been shut up, the next thing to be considered was "What is to be done with it?" The Housing Commission, appointed by the Governor to consider ways and means for the housing of the native community during the emergency, took evidence on this matter the opinions of Drs. KITASATO and YERSIN being asked, the possibility of the infection of the soil entering largely into the question.

After receiving evidence the decision arrived at was briefly that Taipingshan should be resumed, and should be destroyed, preferably by fire.

Naturally the desire of all medical men is to see a town which is perfect from a sanitarian's point of view, but it is a totally different matter when questions of economy have also to be considered. The fact remains that only a very small portion of the town has been improved, whilst the rest of it-some parts in equally bad sanitary condition at present--has been left in statu quo.

I have no hesitation in saying that where a Chinese population has to be dealt with, it will never be possible to keep even a perfectly laid out city in order, unless the strictest surveillance is kept over the inside of the houses; by this I mean looking after the numbers of inmates, the cleanliness of the houses, and the light and ventilation, drainage, etc.

No evidence was given by the local witnesses regarding the infection of the soil, though some of them expressed their opinions. Dr. KITASATO was asked his opinion on the subject only a few days before he left for Japan. I took him round the streets, and as he had lived with me for a month, I was able to get his opinions and views in a much more satisfactory way than by half-an-hour's writing. Dr. KITASATO'S statement as regards infection of the soil was as follows.

"I examined several times the dust of the floors, and the soil of infected houses with regard to their bacteriological contents, and only once I found in the dust of a house the plague bacillus. In soil taken from a considerable depth it has not been found so far, but these experiments require to be carried further." It was impossible for him to give a lengthy and careful report on the subject, his report being specially directed at the extremely insanitary condition of some houses. He was astonished at the state of affairs he saw, and although quite ready to help

About ten acres of the most densely populated part of the City was closed by the Government at the height of the epidemic, all the inhabitants being turned out of their dwellings and housed elsewhere. The streets were walled up and constables were stationed to prevent ingress to the "forbidden city."

by giving his opinions he did not give a full report on the subject. This meant time, and as he had what was to him much more important work on hand it was not to be expected that he should take a great interest in the matter. His views were those of one who wants to see a sanitary Utopia, and his expressions of opinion were mainly directed against the conditions which allowed such a state of affairs as he found to be brought about. Dr. KITASATO's recommendations with regard to the removal of soil was especially directed at some houses with earthen floors where the soil had become polluted with filth to an almost incredible extent. Dr. YERSIN'S report was given after a few more days consideration, but even under these circumstances I think he made a mistake. Dr. KITASATO did not state that there was plague infection of the soil. Dr. YERSIN on the contrary maintained that there was. His opinion was expressed as follows:-

"I have had no difficulty in discovering in the soil of several infected houses a little bacillus identical with regard to aspect and the culture of the plague bacillus. The microbe inoculated into animals does not kill the guinea pig or the mouse--it possesses no virulence. This property does not surprise me--for already for a long time I had begun to separate microbes of different virulence in the buboes, and I have authentic cultivations of plague which kill neither the guinea pig nor the mouse, like the bacillus in the soil."

This paragraph opens up subjects which would provide material for a lengthy controversy-subjects which call for much discussion and require many proofs.

Now it seemed that if the plague bacilli were found underground after a few short weeks of the outbreak it was a very serious thing to tackle; and to me it was a mystery how they could find their way through tiled floors-even though the tiles. might be porous. If the soil was infected, then it was necessary that serious measures. should be undertaken-if not, then there was still time by proper means to make any future infection of the soil impossible. As so much hinged on this question, I got Dr. KITASATO's assistant, Dr. TAKAKI, who had just arrived from Japan, to make an extended series of experiments with me, which effectually proved that there was no infection of the soil. An organism was found which was almost identical with the plague bacillus, but this, on closer examination, was found to be really different, and this view was afterwards borne out by Dr. KITASATO, to whom numerous specimens of earth from the worst houses were sent, and to whom the results of our local experiments were submitted for criticism.

This same organism, closely resembling the plague bacillus, was found in earth. taken from the garden of the Government Civil Hospital. I have not time at present to go into the minute details of the case, suffice it to say that numerous experiments with soil at depths of from one inch to twenty inches were made in the most careful manner, and the results were always the same as regards the absence of the plague bacillus.

The main causes of the spread of the plague were as follows:

(1) Want of means for the isolation of people who were almost certainly

incubating the disease.

(2) The grossly insanitary condition of the latrines.

(3) Overcrowding.

(4) Want of efficient house scavenging and the filthy habits of the inhabitants. These were the most potent factors in the spread of the epidemic; and these simple but urgent matters should be put right forthwith. While I write this, the houses in First Street and several other streets not far from the Government Civil Hospital are in as bad a condition as--if not worse than-they were in April

1894.

PROPHYLACTIC VALUE OF OPIUM.

Several statements were made-probably by interested persons during the epidemic as to an alleged immunity from the disease acquired by opium smokers. There was no such immunity, as many opium smokers died in the various hospitals. The following extract from a letter to the Colonial Surgeon on this subject dated 11th August, 1894, gives my views upon the subject

"In answer to your question I have to state that it is not a fact that 'no opium smoker has died from plague.' Numerous opium smokers and several opium eaters have died during the epidemic. The proportion of opium smokers admitted will never be ascertained as so many patients arrived at the hospitals delirious or

comatose.

"Opium smokers would certainly be less liable to infection than those who do not smoke anything at all but I am of opinion that in the case of plague smoking

-.

1

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

good tobacco is of greater benefit than smoking opium. In plague it is the atomised carbon which is of prophylactic valuc. An opium pipe cannot have the specific effect in prevention of plague that it undoubtedly possesses in malaria.

"After a person has been attacked by plague an opium pipe under judicious medical supervision will undoubtedly act as a sedative in the acute stage; but here again it could not have the wonderful effect as a curative that it often has in malaria, phthisis, and bad neuralgia.

"During convalescence after plague its use is indicated for those who have smoked opium previously and is here of great benefit."

In the case of two opium divans where careful enquiry was made I found that no inmate had been attacked by plague and several customers had made them their residence for some time. Any one who has been into a busy divan in the City of Victoria knows that the amount of smoke generally evolved by the inmates prevents one seeing across the room. Infection by inoculation is of very frequent occurrence, and I cannot see how opium smoking could possibly prevent infection by this channel unless by physical or chemical action outside the body. An opium smoker may finish his smoke and afterwards go into an adjacent house and be infected with the disease--the pipe he smoked some time before is then of no prophylactic use. Moreover the mere fact that these houses were opium divans was not the only reason why they escaped as each lessee took very good care in his own interests to keep out any fisitors who had any appearance of being sick, and if any one had become ill in the house it is pretty certain that he would have been very soon turned out of it.

?Opium smokers who recovered were not allowed to smoke in the Government Hospitals but, from the rapid way that several opium smoking inmates of the Slaughter House Hospital convalesced when allowed to smoke, I should be disposed in future to allow them to have their usual pipe in some outside ward or matshed. Several patients were noticed in the native hospitals who smoked through their whole illness, some of their friends attending them to keep the pipe frequently filled, and it must be said that they seemed to give very little trouble, whilst food very rarely crossed their lips.

DRAINAGE STATISTICS.

-

The following table prepared by Mr. J. R. CROOK, Sanitary Surveyor, shews that in the principal infected areas houses which were drained under the Public Health Ordinance were affected in fewer numbers than those which were not connected with the new drainage scheme.

Taipingshan District.

May.

June.

Houses redrained under Public Health Ordinance...... 33% affected: 30% affected

These differences are so small that it would be wise not to attach too much importance to them as a proof of the necessity of having efficient drainage.

PRESENT SANITARY REQUIREMENTS.

The following matters require urgent attention :-

(1) Vital Statistics.-A reliable record of vital statistics prepared under the immediate supervision of a duly qualified medical practitioner should be at once instituted. Compulsory notification of death is necessary. There is no law at present to enforce it.

401

402

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13?? APRIL, 1895.

(2) House Drainage.-Existing regulations should be enforced regarding the design and construction of house drains, and remedial measures for removing existing defects should be put into effect.

(3) Scavenging-Thorough and efficient scavenging of all public and private streets, lanes, alleys, yards and premises throughout the Colony is a great necessity.

(4) Light and Ventilation.--The existing laws with regard to light and ven- tilation require to be enforced, and regulations as to the height of buildings and the width of streets should be introduced. (A new Act has just been made.)

(5) Basements.An enactment prohibiting the occupation of basements as

domestic dwellings is very necessary.

(6) Wells.-All wells situated within the thickly populated areas of the

City and used for dietetic purposes should be closed at once.

(7) Latrines should be provided on suitable sites throughout the City and

maintained by the authorities in a cleanly condition.

(8) Insanitary Dwellings.-The laws relating to insanitary dwellings and the closing of those unfit for human habitation should be enforced.

(9) Private Lanes and Streets.-All private lanes and streets should be

resumed by the Government and maintained in a proper condition.

(10) Back-to-back houses should be demolished as soon as possible. (11) Dairies. All dairies should be removed from the crowded districts of the city. This has been pointed out in previous years by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon.

(12) Bakehouses.-Existing laws and regulations affecting bakehouses require

enforcement.

(13) Importation of dead meat from the mainland should be strictly prohibited. (14) Importation of Animals.-Reception lairs should be provided to allow

proper inspection of all animals imported into the Colony.

(15) Markets.--Several public markets require sanitary improvement and a market for the wholesale trade in fruit and vegetables should be instituted and efficient inspection should be carried out. The latter is extremely necessary during the summer season.

A

(16) Sheep and pigs should not be kept in houses which are inhabited by

or are built for the inhabitation of human beings.

It is a matter for regret that the Resumption of Taipingshan should have been carried out before these most necessary sanitary improvements have been effected which are, I believe, far more necessary than the former. They are the common-places of Public Health, but they require a judicious expenditure of money to carry them out and efficient men to supervise them.

CONCLUSION.

In conclusion I wish on my own behalf to heartily thank those especially associated with me in the medical work, Surgeon-Major JAMES, A.M.S., Surgeon PENNY, R.N., Dr. W. F. C. LowSON and Dr. J. F. MOLYNEUX, for the very great assistance they rendered at a critical time. Each had a certain amount of routine work to get through, but where so many developments occurred at all hours of the day and night a serene temper and a ready obedience to orders were necessary to enable us to get through the work during the early days of the epidemic. These were always forthcoming and it was only our perfect unanimity which enabled us to do so much. Surgeon-Major JAMES' duties at the Tung Wah Hospital were as revolting as they well could be--even the dirty work which the officers and men of the Shropshire Regiment had to do was less disgusting.

It is as well to point out that Drs. W. F. C. Lowson and MOLYNEUX were the only volunteers to help us when matters were really serious. We had other volun- teers when the heavy part of the fight was over.

The subordinates of the Medical Department I also cordially thank for their splendid conduct, under circumstances trying to the best tempers, and for the implicit confidence they placed in all orders and directions given for their welfare.

CLINICAL CASES.

The notes of these cases are necessarily rough. Time to re-write them is unfortunately not at my disposal, but it is to be hoped that they will afford a certain amount of interest to medical men even as they are. The remarks made on some of them are not lengthy for the simple reason that we have still a good deal to learn on the subject of plague, and many doubtful points suggest them- selves, which it is to be hoped may yet be cleared up. It will be found that some of the treatment does not correspond with what has been advocated in foregoing pages, but it should be remembered that, in dealing with such a fatal disease, it was some time before the best treatment could be definitely laid down; whilst it is probable that even now we have not yet arrived at the best method of dealing with it.

Case I.-Chinese. Et. 25.

This boy was our hospital attendant. He left hospital at 9 p.m. on Sunday, April 29th, and came back at 9 a.m., May 1st. This thirty-six hours was the only time that he was out of the hospital and did not leave again before he went on the sick list. He complained of feeling unwell on the afternoon of the 5th May, and when his temperature was taken at 6 p.m. it was found to be 103° F. I did not see him until about 1 a.m. on the 8th; he informed me that the swelling of the left femoral gland, which was apparent, first commenced on the evening of the 6th May, but he had not mentioned that to the Medical Officer on duty. The gland was, at this time, the size of a large walnut; there were no lymphatic vessels affected, at least, none were to be seen inflamed; there was no sore on the foot but a small scratch was visible two inches below the knee on the inner side and there were no signs of inflammation or suppuration around it; there were no other glands to be felt enlarged. Great headache. Treatment up to the 8th was quinine grs. x. every three hours and phenacetin grs. x. occasionally, but during the latter day had aconite m. v. and antimony wine m. viii. every four hours only.

On the 9th pulse still fairly good, but although the temperature is better he is in a more stupid condition and very anxious about himself at times; the mouth and throat are very dry; ice-bag applied to nape of neck and top of head. Chlorate of potash gargle ordered for the throat in addition to aconite mixture. 10th: very torpid this morning, pulse worse and easily compressible complains greatly of hotness in the throat, passing urine in bed, 3 p.m. had a convulsion. Examina- tion of blood shewed rapid crenation of corpuscles-some of them broken down and particles of pigment in some of the white ones (I believe that some of those when seen stained were bacilli, but I did not recognise them as such). At 7.15 that evening the convulsions became very frequent and he had hyd. of chloral gr. xxx. and brom, of potash gr. XL in two doses. The percentage of h?mo- globin in the blood 50.

:

At 2 a.m. on the 11th as the convulsions were still severe, he had brom. grs. XL. and ebloral grs. xxx. again. In the morning his mind was clearer and he complained much of his mouth being dry, with sordes on the teeth, &c. Hamoglobin 35 per cent. There have been no more convulsions since the bromide and chloral in the early morning. All day the conjunctiva have been suffused-

he can retain his urine to-day. The blood is very fluid and watery. 12th: much clearer in the mind this morning. No convulsions. Muttering delirium and picking at the bed clothes occasional. Heart's action is very tumultuous. There are no lang symptoms. The superficial veins in the axilla and chest are notably prominent. There are no more glands to be felt, however, than the enlarged one in the femoral region. The urine is very scanty and contains trace of albumen and bile salts. Rabbit and guinea-pig injected with blood. Rabbit lived three days, the guinea-pig two. Treatment after the 11th: "ammonia and ether frequently, with brandy, eggs and milk with grs. xxx. bromide of potash on the afternoon of the 11th."

Hamoglobin on the 12th 18 per cent.

Died comatose on the 13th, 10 a.m.

Post mortem examination same afternoon. Small rose-red spot round scratch below the knee. Small discoloration, scarcely amounting to a petechia just close by bubo.

No enlargement of glands apparent in any other region of the body.

On incision into the petechia below the knee, there is found a hypodermic effusion of thin watery blood. There is no attempt at clotting of blood. On dissection of the bubo the same effusion is found round it. Slight congestion of the lungs. Spleen is somewhat enlarged. The liver friable and pale. The gall-bladder is empty. Some enlarged mesenteric glands. The kidneys somewhat paler than usual. No hamorrhages in the peritoneum or thorax. The meninges were intensely congested, and no hemorrhage was found in the brain. Heart (left side) firmly contracted, right side full of dark fluid blood.

REMARKS. This post mortem did not assist much as I had only a few minutes in which to examine the body after it had been opened. This case, however, showed us the value of the ice-bag in relieving the headache as so long as the boy was conscious or even semi-delirious he told us that the ice-bag was the only thing he wanted. He took his nourishment well and being most anxious to get well, contrary to the majority of his fellow countrymen affected, did everything and took everything he was told. The boy was anamic always and the low percentage of hemoglobin on the 12th, which was several times and most carefully estimated, was not so remarkable as if it had occurred in a full-blooded person. This suggested, at the time, transfusion of blood, supply of oxygen for inhalation, and early administration of iron and chlorate of potash. It will be noticed that some of the treatment was different from what I have recommended.

Case II-Japanese. At. 36.

On the 28th June, at a dinner given by the Japanese Doctors to several of the Hongkong Medical gentlemen connected with the plague, Professor AOYAMA's temperature was 101.6° F. He slept well during that night. On the morning of the 29th Dr. CANTLIE saw him and found him suffering from what he supposed to be the results of a dissection wound. At 5.30 p.m. he was seen by Dr. MOLYNEUX and myself, and, the case being immediately diagnosed as plague, he was removed to the Hygeia. From the evidence which we procured it seems that on the 22nd or 23rd of June, whilst making a post mortem examination, he scratched the left third finger on the posterior and ulnar aspect of the first phalangeal joint. On the 27th of June, he again scratched himself on the end of the right thumb.

When removed to the Hygeia he had a temperature of 105° F.; had a bubo in the left axilla without lymphangitis; had a well marked lymphangitis of the right arm extending up to the level of the middle of the humerus; was delirions, very sleepy, and the conjunctiva were intensely suffused; pulse apparently full and bounding but easily compressible. The bubo was very painful. The heart dulness was increased to the left and the apex beat was about one inch to the left of the nipple line. This was a most extraordinary state of affairs considering that within thirty-six hours the apex beat returned to its usual position and the heart dulness returned to exactly the nipple line whilst Dr. KITASATO assured us that, as far as he knew, AOYAMA had no previous heart mischief to his knowledge.

Treatment ordered: sponging every half hour; milk, eggs, Brand's essence, with a small amount of brandy ad lib; calomel grs. x. at once; a mixture composed of

At 2.30 a.m. on the 30th the pulse was much weaker, temp. 105o. Sp. ammonia added, ordered every hour, in addition to champagne.

Mixture with m. xxx.

At 4.80 a.m. there was no improvement, pulse still very bad. In one of his calm moments he had urged that an ice-bag should be placed over his heart; and, although delirious, had argued so rationally that we permitted him to keep it on during the night. As we thought that this might be one of the causes of the exceedingly bad pulse it was removed; and at 9 a.m. the pulse had considerably improved. At this time on examination he had no splenic tenderness; the condition of anxious dyspnoea was well marked, but did not seem so intense as it was in the early morning. The mixture ammonia, etc., was continued every hour, lead and opium lotion being applied to the right arm and belladonna and glycerine to the bubo, nourishment being continued as before.

At 3.30 p.m. he had been sleeping somewhat heavily, and in a coherent moment when he awoke announced himself better. The conjunctiva were less congested, the headache, which up to this time had been well marked, now disappeared, and he seemed generally easier. The digitalis is now

On the 1st July, at 3.30 a.m., pulse occasionally intermittent, doses continually, appears better (for temp. see chart). At 9.30 a.m. the right thumb and the left third finger being very painful and considerably inflamed were opened freely and iodoform applied with a linseed meal poultice. Ammon. and cinchon. mixture every two hours, along with the monobromide of camphor and nourishment. At 11.30 p.m. has not slept at all; very delirious, pulse again bad; complains of pain in the incised thumb; has vomited slightly; only sp. ammonia co. m. xxx. every hour now given in addition to champagne and brandy frequently, and during the night to have two doses of 3 ii. of infusion digitalis.

On the morning of 2nd July, the condition was practically the same, but on examination of the lungs there was found to be some hypostasis at both bases, especially on the right side. From this date until the 5th the condition was practically the same; acute delirium, intermittent pulse; frequent stimulation by ammonia, camphor, brandy, champagne, with an occasional dose of digitalis being the order of the day; of sleep, during this time, he had practically none. Sponging on an Diarrhoea was average every three hours; the water now being used at a temperature of 65° F. considerable on the 3rd: treated by enemata of starch and opium, and sub-nitrate of bismuth grs. x. one dose only. On the 4th and 5th it was extremely difficult to keep him in bed, and it was only by tricking or frequent drinking to the health of the Emperor of Japan or Queen Victoria, that we could get him to take any nourishment or medicine.

On the 5th, at 11 p.m., he had 1/100° of grain of hyoscin hypodermically and slept eight hours after. On the morning of the 6th, well marked pneumonia at the right base had developed and by this time the catheter had always to be used. Diarrhoea was also distressing and for this grs. x. bismuth sub-nitrate was given practically every four hours. At 10.30 p.m. on the 6th the pulse became suddenly very intermittent and almost imperceptible. Hypodermic injections of ether were given frequently during the following hour and ammonia to the nostrils; the ammonia mixture being continued every two hours. The pulse improved during the night, but the intermittency still remained well marked. At 9 a.m. on the 7th he had a belladonna plaster over the heart and m. vii. of tincture of strophanthus added to the ammonia mixture every two hours, whilst the monobromide of camphor was discontinued.

On July 8th another attack of heart failure occurred, the pulse being imperceptible for some time at the wrist. Hypodermic injection of ether over the heart with hot sponges applied in the same region were followed by an improvement in the pulse within an hour. Diarrhoea afterwards became worse with extreme tenesmus and he was put on salol grs. v. every four hours, stimulation by ammonia still proceeding. In addition, as there was considerable pain in the abdomen and tym- panitis, lead and opium lotion was applied in fomentation. On the 11th the condition of the right lung had improved to some extent. The bubo in the right axilla was opened and found to contain pus.

It had been very painful during the previous twenty-four hours. Pulse still intermittent, diarrhoea with tenesmus still present. Liq. strich. m. v. ordered three times a day. On the 12th the diarrhoea had diminished, no tenesmus, but still very offensive and the pulse was now only rarely intermittent; salol grs. x. was continued three times a day.

On the 14th the temperature shot up to 104° F. again, and, on examining the right lung, a fresh well marked pleurisy was discovered all round the right base. A blister was applied, and on the sugges- tion of Dr. CANTLIE, chloride of ammonium grs. vi. were given every four hours with the ammonia mixture. On the 17th he was improving in general condition, ammonia mixture being continued along with the chloride of ammonium, and as the pulse was now fairly good and regular the strychnia was left off. On the 20th quinine grs. v. thrice a day was ordered; extract of malt thrice a day with ammonia mixture every four hours; Burgundy and the most nourishing food being freely administered. On the 21st a very large slough was removed from the axilla. On the 15th the opening of numerous lymphatic abscesses was commenced upon both arms and proceeded at about the rate of six a day for the following week, over 40 in all being opened. On the 24th sulphide of calcium pills gr. every four hours together with 3 ii. of cod liver oil thrice a day was all the medicine he was getting. By the 26th he was put on a sumptuous diet and small doses of quinine the cod liver oil being continued.

On the evening of the 2nd of August, after getting a little too excited over the prospect of getting home, he was suddenly seized with breathlessness and palpitation and when I saw him a few minutes afterwards I found him with a fast running feeble pulse about 120 and this continued for about an hour; ammonia being the principal stimulant used in treatment. On the following morning he was prescribed a mixture of iron, arsenic, and strychnine. Cod liver oil stopped and extract of malt substituted. He improved until be was discharged on the 21st of August, when he was advised to take the following mixture:-Liq. arsenical m. v., liq. ferri dialysat m. x., liq. strychnin m. v., aq. ad 3 i. t.i.d.

On the 2nd July there was a trace of albumen in the urine. On the 6th of July there was no albumen in the urine. On the 9th of July there was no albumen in the urine. And on the 31st of July there was no albumen in the urine. He woke up on the 19th of July and was quite rational for the first time, after having been non compos mentis for almost three weeks. If I remember right he said that his usual weight was about 160 lbs. On July 29th he was 134 Bs. On August

6th he was 131 tbs. And on August 20th 136 lbs. Bacilli were found in the blood by KITASATO on the morning of the 20th of June. On the 11th of July when the bubo was opened numerous bacilli were found in the discharge. On the 15th of July no bacilli were found in the discharge. On the 16th bacilli were found in each of the lymphatic abscesses opened. On the 3rd of August no bacilli were found in the blood.

Remarks.-This was a most difficult case to treat. Here was a well built strong man who had been a delightful social companion but when delirious was-well, difficult to manage. Fortunately we had one sister who spoke German and another Japanese and this was a great help as, presumably infected with the war fever, he would not allow a Chinaman to come near him during his delirium. It may appear that too much physic was administered but it has to be remembered that he was in a most desperate condition and ammonia had to be given as practically part of his nourishment and not only that but his mental condition was often such that he could not or would not take part or all of his medicine, so that the above treatment was simply suited to the circumstances of the case at each visit and simply meant stimulate and nourish as much as possible. In his delirium he would often argue in the most rational manner, especially on medical subjects. From the 6th to the 11th July he was too ill to do this as during the most of this period he was in an apathetic semicomatose condition with occasional outbursts of violent conduct. He became conscious on the 19th July and after that slowly improved until able to leave for Japan. The prominent points in his case were the extremely bad pulse, the long period of pyrexia, the complications-pneumonia, retention of urine for a long time, the numerous lymphatic abscesses, the profuse and very foetid diarrhoea and the long period during which he was unconscious and of which he remembers nothing. The bacilli disappeared in a few days from the abscesses after use of iodoform. I saw him in September. At many of the incisions there was a tendency to formation of keloid and although I could find no physical evidence of cardiac weakness he informed me that he was very easily perturbed and tired and that he had headache often whenever he tried to do any serious work. He now relates with glee how he disappointed us -as his coffin had been taken on board on the 3rd July and every preparation made for his funeral on the morrow.

The physical signs of the condition of the heart on the 29th of June require some explanation, which I am unable to give. One can scarcely imagine it possible that the mere application of an ice-bag would cause a change in the position of the heart, which there undoubtedly was. It is a significant fact that after the ice-bag was removed the apex beat and the area of cardiac dulness soon returned to their usual positions.

Case III.-Japanese. Et. 38.

Dr. I. was assisting KITASATO in bacteriological work. Whilst preparing to remove AOYAMA to the Hygeia our attention was directed to this patient who had that day felt "out of sorts," and on taking his temperature found it was 102° F.-pulse rapid, considerable headache, no shiver, slight pain in the left axilla. In addition he had the indefinable appearance of a plague patient, the recogni- tion of which comes intuitively to one who has seen a lot of the disease. He was at once removed with his colleague to the Hygeia. On arrival there his temperature was 99° F. At midnight it was 102° F. On the 30th at noon it was 104° F. and at 6 p.m. it had reached its primary maximum 105° F.

Examination showed the absence of any open wound on the left hand; but there was the mark of a small scar on one of the fingers, where he said he had scratched himself some days before. On the morning of the 30th the bubo was very painful, the conjunctiva very suffused and his condi- tion generally worse. Treatment: ammonia and cinchona, sponging, monobromide of camphor grs. ii. every four hours, with the usual nourishment, egg flip, Brand's essence, beef tea, etc.

The Hongkong GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13?u APRIL, 1895.

On the 1st of July he was rather delirious and breathing, at times, spasmodic, pulse good and regular, but with slight inclination to throw the ice-bag about. The first cardiac sound is prolonged and booming and occasionally a distinct bruit is noticeable. At 6 p.m. he complained of a sore throat and on examination the pharynx was found intensely congested with an ulcer on the palate and left tonsil. Delirium had not been so marked during the day. On this day in the after- noon he had some digitalis added to the ammonia mixture as the pulse began to get weaker and somewhat dicrotic. Chlorate of potash gargle for the throat. On the 2nd of July calomel grs. x. given at night. Urine contains trace of albumen.

3rd of July seems better this morning-pulse improved, throat also improved. Digitalis left out of mixture during the day. Monobromide of camphor grs. ii. every four hours, still going on. 4th of July: condition unaltered, digitalis again given with the ammonia mixture-dozing slightly through the day, but very delirious at night. July the 6th: retention of urine. Began to sleep now first time for three days. July the 7th some cystitis evident, some muco-pus in the eye of the catheter and a tinge of blood. Large quantities of barley water ordered. 8th of July: delirium practically gone and condition improved-strychnin and iron mixture ordered, liq. strychnine m. v. and liq. ferri dialysat. m. viii. thrice a day.

On the 13th of July slight pleuritic rub right side, mustard plaster locally. On the 26th of July some lymphangitis of the left arm, treated by lead and opium. Discharged cured on August the 3rd. Bacilli found in blood morning of the 30th June. Bubo was opened on the 8th and was almost closed when he left for Japan. The pleuritic rub disappeared in a few days.

Remarks.--This patient was easy to manage as he was not physically so strong as some of the patients who were on the Hygeia at the same time. The study of delirium in its early stages was a most interesting one at this period. In one ward we had Case V. whose great desire was to have a "quiet wrestle" with his attendant whom he nearly threw out of the window at an early stage of the disease and which he was inclined to try again had not effectual means been taken to prevent him getting out of bed. In the next room was a patient who fancied himself a "fowl in the air" and who usually was in a most happy mood. Next to this patient we had one who, until prostrated, was a most violent subject to deal with, whilst I's failing was a desire to stand up in bed and address an imaginary audience, but-quite different from II.-always ready to listen to our reasoning and at once obey orders. It will be noticed that this patient's temperature fell from 103° F. to normal in twenty-four hours, a fall closely resembling a crisis. The throat affection was the only marked one we had where the prominent glandular swelling was not in the cervical region and led me to consider if he had been infected by respiration and not by inoculation. Here also, notwithstanding scrupulous attention to the cleanliness of the catheter, cystitis developed in about thirty-six hours after the catheter was first used but which got rapidly well by simply giving diluent drinks and strychnin and iron. The occurrence of lymphangitis during convalescence was noticed in several other patients, but is only to be expected if the slightest irritation is present.

Case IV.-English. Et. 35.

Admitted May 31st with high temperature, considerable headache, vomiting and a left inguinal bubo. Treatment: tr. aconite m. v., vin. antimonial m. viii., aq. chlorof. ad. 3 i. 4 times a day with draught chloral hydrat. grs. xx. and pot, bromid. grs. XL. at 9 p.m.; nourishment--as much as he could take. Same treatment on the 1st, but as the aconite mixture had not brought down his temperature at 6 p.m. he had antipyrin grs. x. every four hours, four doses in all, aconite being stopped.

On June the 2nd he continuel to take as much aourishment as possible. At 2.30 a.m. as his temperature had not come down with the antipyrin a cold sheet was frequently applied; but with no effect on the temperature until about 8 a.m. when it dropped about two degrees, and as he then shivered slightly it was removed. In the afternoon the amount of hemoglobin was estimated at 60 per cent., cynosis considerable. In the evening vomiting was severe and a mustard plaster was applied to the epigastrium. Iced champagne ordered in addition to the brandy in egg flip.

June 3rd: no more vomiting during the night, had only a few snatches of sleep. Quinine grs. v. three times a day, in addition to digitalis and strychnin mixture-tr. digitalis m. vi., liq. strychnina m. iii. every hour for three doses. At 6 p.m. hamoglobin was estimated at 53 per cent. There is now slight dulness and fine crepitations at the left base and at night the digitalis and strychnin mixture was repeated every four hours with ammonia mixture. On the 4th--has had a very bad night, great delirium. There are now a few fine crepitations at the right base (hypostatic). The pulse occasionally intermits and the hemoglobin is estimated at 40 per cent. As his condition was getting rapidly worse I asked Dr. HORDER who had seen a considerable amount of plague at Pakhoi to see him with us but in spite of frequent stimulation by champagne, ather, and ammonia he rapidly sank and died at 9.45 p.m. During the afternoon he had frequent inhalation of oxygen which improved his pulse and respiration temporarily each time; but on the oxygen being discontinued they very soon got as bad as before. Ice-bags had been almost continuously on his head from the time of the commencement of delirium, in addition to a blister on the back of his neck.

On the 2nd of July from the rapid onset of acute delirium and the increase of respiration along with the marked cyanosis a most unfavourable praguosis was given. Sleep was unfortunately out of the question that night owing to the hideous noises of a Chinese procession on shore. Several times the patient dosed off only to be awakened by the sound of an extra hundred crackers blazed off being wafted over the calm waters of the harbour, and which the patient even in his delirium complained bitterly of. The aconite and antimony were left off whenever the pulse began to get dicrotic and stimulation commenced.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

On the 27th quinine pill grs. v. three times a day ordered. Tepid sponging every two hours and liquor morphia m. xxx. at 9 p.m. On the 28th morning, pulse slightly intermittent and tendency to delirium ; tr. digitalis m. xii., sp. ammou co. m. xxx., tr. cinchon co, m. xxx. ordered every four hours. No sleep during the night. On the 29th delirium marked; pulse still slightly intermittent. Hyoscin hypodermically gr. roo.

On the 30th at 2 a.m. he had another gr. To as he had not slept at all and was continually wanting to get out of bed. At 9 a.m. has had no sleep, pulse very irregular now; pupils widely dilated, (? Hyoscin). 12.30 p.m. had grs. x. bromide of ammonium.

1st July at 3.30 a.m. he had gr. morphine. "He repudiates the ice-bag "-pulse inter- mittent, and anacrotic- -no rebound wave by sphygmograph. The morphia had no effect in quieting him and at 4.30 a.m. he had a hypodermic injection of gr. hyoscin. After this he slept for over an hour. At 10 a.m. urine was drawn off by catheter, highly coloured, ammoniacal, deposit of mucus, trace of albumen, and deposit of phosphates (by microscope). The digitalis and ammonia mixture continued as before. At midnight he at last got a good sleep and slept until 5 a.m., morning of the 2nd July; pulse still intermittent-no lung complications; taking his nourishment well; ammonia and digitalis mixture continued and grs. iiss. quinine instead of grs. v. three times a day. No sleep at night. July 4th, situation unchanged.

During the night of the 5th as the pulse had improved though still intermittent, the digitalis was left out of the mixture. No sleep. Until the night of the 7th condition got worse.

Low muttering delirium, and his pulse was now very bad, stimulants being given freely. On the evening of the 7th he had a hypodermic injection of hyoscin gr. and slept until about 7 a.m. on the 8th. This seemed to be the turning point for on the 8th he was much better and was put upon strychnin and iron, in addition to the cinchona and ammonia.

75

On the 12th the bubo was opened and a large amount of pus evacuated. On the 16th ammonia and cinchona three times a day was the medicine he was getting. His pulse was still somewhat intermittent but otherwise much improved in quality. On the 18th extract of malt three times a day ordered. On the 20th he was ordered tinct. strophanthi m. x. and liq. strychnin m. v. thrice a day under which the condition of the pulse rapidly improved.

On the 5th of August cultivations from and microscopic examination of blood and bubonic discharge showing no bacilli, he was removed to the Civil Hospital. At this time there was some considerable enlargement of the glands along the iliac vessels and as there had been a great amount of sloughing in the upper part of the thigh careful surgical attention was necessary. The mass in the iliac fossa remained large and indurated for over a month and was opened by Surgeon PENNY whilst I was in Japan, whilst several other openings were made afterwards. A long and tedious convalescence terminated by his discharge from Hospital on December 2nd, the most of the swelling having disappeared and the scar being firmly healed.

Remarks.--This was a most tedious and anxious case up till the end of October. The enlarged iliac glands (the induration round which extended to within an inch of the umbilicus) gave rise to considerable atony and obstruction of the bowel, which necessitated urgent manual mea- sures on several occasions. The femoral artery lay bare on the surface of the callous ulcer for a long time

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

and at one period it was a question whether the external iliac artery should be tiel for fear of serious hamorrhage, as had occurred in two fatal cases. There was also some cystitis which persisted for a considerable time. The cardiac condition improved slowly-the intermittency persisting for at least two months. On December 31st he was examined again and his pulse although not inter- mittent was very irregular-no valvular disease of the heart could be detected.

Case VI.-Eurasian.

Et. 18.

Became feverish on the morning of the 1st July.

A right femoral bubo developed during the day and he was removed to the Hygeia on the 2nd. Treatment: nourishment;`ammonia and cinchona every two hours; phenacetin grs. v. every four hours, if temperature above 103° F., quinine grs. v. thrice a day and sponging frequently with water at temperature of 75° F.

At 7.30 p.m. the temperature was 106° F. and he was now sponged, but without much effect in reducing the temperature; his pulse was still fairly good though dicrotic but not intermittent.

At 2 a.m. on the 4th while the Sister was calling me to see another patient, he got out of bed to go to stool, his attendant having gone to procure ice, and when I went into the ward the attendant was putting him into bed. I found him pulseless and moribund. He had ether injections frequently, hot mustard and water to the heart, ammonia to the nostrils; but all of no avail and he died at 2.30 a.m.

Remarks.-The rapid onset of delirium in this case and the extreme cyanosis which developed on the third day betokened a fatal ending, but the mere coincidence of the attendant and the Sister having to leave the ward at the same time brought about an earlier death than was anticipated. At this time we were able to give an attendant to each bad case on the Hygeia in order to prevent as far as possible any accident occurring. It was noticeable that there was a greater tendency to heart failure in Asiatic patients than in Europeans. In this case also the delirium was low, muttering and stupid from the commencement-I much prefer a trace of violence with a tendency to argument, in which case the patient's vitality is generally considerable and there is not the rapid succumbing that is so often seen when the delirium partakes of the stupid dazed type. Note in this case the fall of four

degrees of temperature after two five-grain doses of phenacetin, one example of what I have noted elsewhere in this report that in a severe case when the temperature is affected readily to this extent by antipyretics it is not a favourable sign. It shows, I think, that the circulatory system is in a condition where it cannot stand much depressing influence.

Case VII.--English. t. 23.

This man was on the whitewashing party for twenty days before becoming ill. Felt sick with slight shivering on 8th June. On the 10th June admitted to the Hygeia, with vomiting, tempe- rature 105° F. no headache, small femoral bubo in left groin, yellow furred tongue, pulse full and bounding, but yet easily compressible.

Resp.

Between the 10th and the 13th the bubo increased very much in size, having a boggy feeling and with a good deal of surrounding reduess. It was also very painful. Treated by lead and opium the inflamatory appearance disappeared in four days. On the 21st the bubo was opened and there was a considerable amount of pus evacuated. Treatment :--tepid sponging, quinine grs. v. three times a day. Bromide of potash grs. XL. and hydrate of chloral grs. xx. every night during the period of delirium with plenty of iced beer and usual nourishment. Discharged on the 27th July.

When examined in the beginning of December this patient is found to have very tumultuous action of the heart which is most irregular at times. There is no bruit to be discovered. The apex beat is just outside the nipple line. The pulse is 122 when sitting at rest, and irregular. He appears very nervous and shaky. He frequently suffers from headache, but evidently of not so severe a character as his fellow soldiers. The spleen shows no enlargement. There is an occasional cramp of the muscles of the front of the left thigh, evidently due to some implication of the anterior crural nerve in the cicatrix. He frequently suffers from shortness of breath and palpitation, more especially when marching up a hill.

Remarks. This case was one which showed a great amount of after-change in the nervous mechanism of the vascular system and led one to suspect that the enervation of the heart had been permanently affected by the disease.

Case VIII.--Chinese. At. 38.

Was admitted to the Government Civil Hospital on the evening of the 8th June, suffering from incised wound of the scalp about six inches long with severe hamorrhage. The woman fainted whilst in the receiving room. The wound was caused by her falling down stairs. On the 9th she was very stupid but did not have the appearance or symptoms of a patient with compression or concussion of the brain. On the evening of the 9th plague was diagnosed and she was removed on the following morning to Kennedytown where she died the same evening from plague. It was remarkable how very few similar accidents occurred. Here there was no fracture of the vertex and

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

no sign of any fracture at the base of the skull. The only thing that was remarked, when she was admitted, was the extreme difficulty in stopping the hamorrhage and even after the wound had been stitched up a considerable amount of oczing took place. Her stupid condition for the first twenty- four hours was attributed to the loss of blood, but as undoubted symptoms of plague developed on the evening of the 9th the falling down stairs, the fainting-fit and the copious hamorrhage were all explained.

On the 22nd, five days after her admission, a well marked lymphangitis was noticed on the dorsum of the right foot. A small sore between the first and second toes being noticed; this was not visible the day before. The lymphangitis rapidly spread, until it reached up to the femoral bubo. I never noticed a case of plague where lymphangitis preceded the bubo; several cases were sent in with lymphangitis supposed to be suffering from plague, but all of these were not cases of plague. Of course it is difficult to say that there was never lymphangitis before lymphadenitis and when the statement is made that lymphangitis, when it did occur, always followed the inflammation of the gland or glands, it is meant that no redness along the line of the lymphatics was apparent, no hardness was noticed, and no uneasiness or pain felt. The lymphangitis on the postero-internal part of the leg went on to suppuration with extensive sloughing extending from the level of the internal malleolus to the knee and required free incision. After a lengthened convalescence she was discharged on August 20th, repeated attacks of lymphangitis above the knee having occurred for two or three days at a time during that period.

Case XI-Indian. t. 20.

Was admitted for observation on the 22nd June, having suffered for the previous twelve hours from headache which he thought was due to malarial fever and in consequence had treated himself with quinine. He was suspected of having plague by Dr. STEDMAN as he was an inmate of a house which had already supplied us with two patients. On the morning of the 23rd the following note was made.

 "A right cervical (parotid) bubo appeared during last night and is now very large." During the course of the day the surrounding adema became very great, extending almost right. round the neck and swallowing was a matter of extreme difficulty. The breathing was also con- siderably embarrassed and he rapidly sank dying at 8 a.m. on the 24th. His temperature chart is subjoined.* The fall in temperature was caused by phenacetin grs. viii and was another instance of a bad case, easily affected by antipyretics, rapidly proving fatal. The end was sudden, as after passing a motion in the bed pan he turned over and died.

Case XII-Jewess.

At. 24.

Admitted at 8 p.m. on 30th June, with an enlarged gland on the left side of the neck. (Temperature chart as follows.?) The history which we got of this case was as follows. On the 24th June, she first became ill "giddy and swimming in the head." On the following morning she had a temperature of 105° F. She had quinine and phenacetin. On the evening of the 26th she had slight vomiting and pain in the chest and was prescribed a mixture of ascetate of ammonia, antipyrin and digitalis. On the 26th she was

very bad."

It seems that about the 21st June, she first began to pass blood in the urine and after that day blood was almost constantly present in the urine until admission. On the morning of the 30th the swelling on the left side of the neck is said to have com- menced. Menstruation finished on the 23rd and returned on the 27th for one day only. One year ago she had a child, a well marked mitral bruit being present at the time of confinement.

66

On examination on the 1st July she complained of a general pain or soreness confined to the left half of the body. On palpation of the left kidney she complained of pain on pressure and mentioned that she had frequent attacks of pain there; no pain over the right kidney. There was some tenderness over the left ovary; there was a well marked regurgitant mitral bruit-o cedema of the lower extremities. The gums, lips and conjunctiva blanched. No bacilli were found in the blood by KITASATO. No blood was now found in the urine, only a deposit of mucus. Diagnosis suspended. July 2nd: complained of much pain in left hip shooting down the leg again. No bacilli found by KITASATO. Diagnosis "not plague." July 8th: deep fluctuation in the abscess of the neck; a small incision was made, but no pus was evacuated on account of the patient's violent behaviour. On July 10th chloroform was administered and pus evacuated from the centre of the gland, a small drain-

age tube being inserted. On this date KITASATO again failed to find bacilli in the blood. August 3rd the glands on the right side of the neck were slightly enlarged but these went down under lead and opium fomentations. She was kept under observation in a separate ward by herself until August the 8th when she was discharged.

Remarks.--This was a difficult case for diagnosis. The case was sent in by three medical men as a case of plague. Surgeon PENNY who saw her first in hospital had doubts as to the correctness of this diagnosis and on the following morning Dr. MOLYNEUX and myself saw her in consultation with him. The reasons why we thought it not a case of plague were absence of facies and anxiety generally met with, tongue clean, no cerebral symptoms such as she would be sure to have had after a week's illness if suffering from plague-in fact it was quite the reverse, she was perfectly clear in the head and rational. The pulse was also different from either of the types usually met with in the later stages of plague. The history of the case looked as if she had been suffering from renal colic whilst the enlargement of the gland was, I believe, a coincidence. Hysteria was also well marked.

On the 9th July KITASATO also examined some of the discharge from the wound made in the gland and found no bacilli, but as iodoform had been applied freely the day before, no value can be attached to this observation. On the 10th, when under chloroform and the gland could be freely exposed, it had a totally different appearance from that of a plague-infected gland. Instead of being of a dark blue colour and soft in consistence it was yellow with an outside zone of hardness, which en- closed a cheesy purulent centre and while operating I thought that it must have been of somewhat longer duration than eleven days. Besides this the fact that frequent and careful examination of the blood by KITASATO proved negative further convinced us that the case was not one of plague.

During the 3rd of June his temperature was practically normal and led us to doubt the accuracy of diagnosis. No antipyretics had been administered. On the morning of the 4th, however, his temper- ature shot up to 104° F. and he rapidly became delirions. On the 5th his condition was much worse- pulse dicrotic, and very delirious. Has not slept for three nights. Treatment now ice-bags to head and nape of neck, tepid sponging, quinine grs. x three times a day and at 9.30 p.m. he had grain morphia hypodermically, after which he slept most of the night. As will be seen from his temperature chart he rapidly improved and was discharged on the 27th July. The bubo suppurated and had to be opened about the 11th.

On being examined early in December it is found that he has never regained his lost weight and he is now over a stone lighter than he was before disease attacked him. There is some enlargement of the cardiac dulness, the apex beat being just outside the nipple line. He has slight enlargement of the spleen, but has suffered frequently from ague. He is often troubled by occipital headache which is occasionally severe; and has had, on several occasions, to fall out of parade. He is very nervous and apparently easily excited and to a medical eye is evidently not the same man physically that he was. His pulse, however, is not nearly so fast as No. VII's, varying between

90 and 96.

Remarks.-As already mentioned, the temperature on the second day was somewhat peculiar and no other case during the epidemic showed a practically normal temperature for almost the second twenty-four hours of the disease. He was seen by Dr. HORDER of Pakhoi on admission, who concurred in our diagnosis, and he was also somewhat surprised to note this temperature. Had we not seen this man on the 2nd when his temperature was 101° F. it is quite possible that this case might have been put down as one where the bubo was apparent forty-eight hours before the fever began. It is to be noted also that when the temperature again went up on the 4th, the onset of delirium was particularly rapid. The want of sleep during the first two nights, I think, was caused by the anxiety on the part of the patient which necessarily was present in every European case, and which was more than usually well marked in this man. The other soldiers who suffered from the disease were examined at the same time as the two Cases VII. and XIII. One suffered from occasional occipito-cervical pain and shortness of breath whilst another had a tumultuous action of the heart with irregular pulse and frequent vertical headache. The urine of all was normal, no albumen. Although these men were discharged from the Hygeia on the 27th July some of them had to remain a considerable time in the Military Hospital on account of the indolent character of the ulcers left after the buboes.

Case XIV--Eurasiar, At, 49.

On August 3rd some blood was sent for examination and as plague bacilli were found in it the patient was removed to Kennedytown. History :-Was at the Alice Memorial Branch nursing on Saturday, 21st July. She has had fever for eight days. Temperature chart affixed. Her tongue showed the typical advanced condition of plague. Dyspnoea was considerable and the pulse very feeble and slightly intermittent. There was no bubo to be seen. She complained of considerable abdominal pain about the umbilicus. She died the same evening.

Post mortem examination on the following morning was partial; the spleen was soft and slightly enlarged, there were no externally visible swollen glands in the femoral, axillary or cervical regions, but there was a considerably enlarged and congested mesenteric gland almost directly situated at the seat of pain; in addition there were several other glands which were enlarged but not to such a considerable extent as the one before mentioned. There were no hamorrhages in the abdomen. Bacilli were numerous in the glands and spleen. There was no inflammation of the intestines or stomach and no hamorrhages on the mucous surface of the latter organ.

Case XV.--Chinese. At. 21.

Was admitted on August 7th. This patient was sent by Surgeon-Major JAMES from the Tung Wah Hospital. On arriving at the Government Civil Hospital for bacteriological examination of the blood, he had a convulsion. Bacilli were found in the blood, so he was sent down to Kennedy- town. He had never had fits before. Had been sick for three days. On examination it was found that he protruded the tongue to the left side-the left leg and left arin were paralysed; pupils equal; left side of palate also paralysed; the left facial nerve apparently not affected. After the convulsions he was immediately conscious, and before they occurred he could sometimes tell that they were coming on. During the last two days he has had numerous fits. There was no involuntary urination. "He

says a fit is now coming on and he thinks so because of a feeling in his chest. During the fit, the eyes are turned to the left. The muscles of the paralysed left limbs jerk somewhat but not enough to raise the limbs off the bed as they do on the opposite and sound side. The mouth is drawn over to the left side and the head jerks over to the left side also. During the fit the pulse is rather weak and remains so for a short time after." On the 8th the paralysis of the previous day had become only

He had a large number of short fits on the india rubber ring to bite or insert between his teeth. morning of the 10th, but they were of much shorter duration--the longest only lasting for about half a minute. The grasp in the left hand was now fairly good, but could not perform fine movements with his fingers. These short fits gradually diminished in number and on the 16th it was noted that they are confined to irritation of the leg muscles. He was now very drowsy; this was ascribed to the amount of bromide of potash that he was then having, grs. xxx. four times a day. On the 26th it was noted that there had been no twitchings of the leg muscles for about four days, and the patellar reflexes were somewhat exaggerated. There was no albumen at any time in the urine-he never had a fit before his attack of plague and never had one after 26th of August until the day of his discharge. Remarks:-Any diagnosis in this case is difficult to make; evidently a unilateral lesion With the experience of Case XVII in mind it is was present, but its exact location is doubtful.

Here the men's cerebral condition between fits was good, quite possible there was no hamorrhage. while Case XVII was unconscious all the time, and I do not think there were enough symptoms of meningitis to say that it was severe enough to account for the above condition. On several occasions the convulsion distinctly commenced in the left thumb and my opinion at the time was centre at the upper part of the that a small hamorrhage was present in the region of the "arm

On the 18th a number of roseolar spots appeared over the upper part of the abdomen and chest, with gurgling and tenderness in the right iliac region. The bowels were constipated but stool was very light yellow, and the patient kept on fluid nourishment as typhoid was suspected in addition. On the 19th was seen by Professor AOYAMA who also said typhoid." On the 20th again plague bacilli were found in the blood. There were several crops of spots. The patient was discharged well on the 11th October.

Remarks.--The only result we could come to in this case was that it was one of mixed infection, typhoid and plague. Typhoid is one of the most likely diseases to be mistaken for plague, when no history can be got from the patient. Patients brought in by the search parties often could not give us any assistance and in this case we were all the more cautious as on one previous occasion a diagnosis of plague was made when post mortem examination showed the disease from which the patient had suffered was typhoid but this was before the bacteriology of the disease was properly known.

Case XVII.--Chinese. At. 6.

Admitted 1st August, 1894, at 4 a. m. with convulsion, and temperature of 105° F. On admission had grs. iv. of phenacetin. I was called to see her at 8 a.m. and found her comatose with a temperature of 108.8° F. Recognized her as an out-patient seen two days before, who had com- plained of slight fever with a few blotches of what I took to be urticaria on her face, and for which small doses of quinine and magnesia were ordered. She was immediately put into a cold bath (75° F. at that time of year) which was cooled down to 55° F. by the use of ice. When the temperature had come down, on examination it was found that the right pupil was dilated and there was internal strabismus of the left eye. The head was turned over to the right side all the time. On pressure in the left groin, the left leg was drawn up slightly but as the child was unconscious nothing else could be elicited. As there was the possibility that it was a case of plague, the blood was examined by Dr. TAKAKI as well as myself without definite result ;--but on some blood being withdrawn from the spleen by a hypodermic syringe numerous bacilli were found. A hamorrhage in the brain was diagnosed but its situation could not be fixed. The child remained unconscious all day in almost the same condition, never moving at all, and died at 8.40 p.m.

The post mortem examination was made the following morning.

                             The left femoral region was first cut down on through about half an inch of fat, and a solitary dark blue enlarged gland about the size of a cracknut was found. There were no glands enlarged in the right femoral region. There were numerous mesenteric glands inflamed and slightly enlarged the spleen enlarged and follicles swollen. The meninges were intensely congested as was also the superficial brain matter in proximity, especially the Pons Varolii and Medulla. No hemorrhage was found after exceedingly

careful examination.

Case XVIII.--Chinese.

Et. 53.

Admitted 12th May, 1894. Died on the 13th after having been five days sick. This was the first case we saw which had a hamorrhagic bleb. The bubo was in the right femoral region and the bleb was situated on the outer side of the right ankle. It was about the size of a dollar and the epidermis rose gradually over the sanguineum fluid until the swelling seemed to have a height of about half an inch.

later this did not increase in area, unfortunately we were not able to find out how long it had been in existence. There were no blebs on any other part of the body. The bleb when pricked a few hours before death showed a base similar in appearance to that seen in the vesicles of moist spreading gangrene. Another case admitted on same date, aged 42, presented two blebs on the right arm, which developed on the 14th May, and were of the same character. This man died the morning following their appearance.

Case XIX.--Chinese. Et. 15.

Was admitted on the 12th May with fever and delirium. On the 14th buboes developed in the cervical region left groin and left axilla, all of which soon became very painful. On the 15th hamatemesis occurred. On the 24th numerous abscesses, evidently pyamic in character had developed in the right side and numerous situations on the head and neck. This man had also most severe diarrhoea. This was the first case we had where pyamic symptoms were well developed.

His respirations were 66, cyanosis extreme, his face being perfectly livid. He died on the 14th May. A short time before death with respirations 82 and pulse imperceptible. When the respirations go above 40 without well marked lung conditions to cause greater rapidity of respiration, then generally expect death.

and shows another case with a long period of pyrexia, but in this case, different from case No. XXIV, there was no lung complication. It will be noticed that the large doses of antipyrin given brought his temperature down almost six degrees in twenty-four hours, but at this stage he was very collapsed, and stimulants were ordered freely. Thinking over the case later, this collapse ought to have put one on the lookout for plague, as I have never seen a case of malarial fever collapse with the same amount of antipyrin; the doses given were, of course, very serious doses for a man suffering from plague. The bubo here did not appear for a week and immediately it did appear the man's condition became worse.

Admitted 14th May, 1894, with well marked plague. On the way to hospital had vomited a considerable quantity of blood. Notwithstanding this the pulse was still full, though rapid. On the 15th she had hamorrhage from the gums. On the 16th she had more hamorrhage from the gums and considerable hamorrhage from the vagina. The breath was most offensive, having a smell like that of a patient seized with hamorrhage from a gangrenous lung. This patient had petechia on the arms and face and curious to relate, on the 24th May, extensive desquamation of the skin in several parts of the body was evident, but I do not think that this can be put down as a result of the plague. This woman's skin was always dry and rough, in addition to being very dirty when she came into hospital, and I have seen many similar cases in Chinese which I can only describe as diri desquamation. No special treatment for the hamorrhage was given. The delirium in this case was very slight and it is just possible that this to some extent is accounted for by the considerable amount of blood which she lost. She was discharged cured.

Case XXIII.-Chinese.

Admitted on 16th May died on the 19th. The temperature after death rose to 108° F. the end being very rapid, and this was the nearest approach to death by hyperpyrexia that I saw during the epidemic.

Case XXIV.--Chinese. Et. 18.

Showed the following temperature chart. He died on the 31st May. This was a long period of pyrexia, complicated by boils (pyamic abscesses) appearing on the 20th, and hemoptysis on the 26th with considerable consolidation of the left lung. In this case I consider that the pyrexia in the later stages was due to the pneumonic condition--probably pyamic abscess of lung.

Right axilliary bubo with very great surrounding edema developed during the night; removed to Hygeia in the morning. This was a very alcoholic subject who had been on the beach for some time and who was an almost hopeless case whenever delirium set in. He died suddenly at 3 a.m. on June 5th after using the bed pan. There were many enquiries as to how this man became affected and doubts as to the correctness of diagnosis were freely expressed by people who did not know that he had been wandering about the slums of Taipingshan for the previous fortnight.

Case XXVII.--English. Et. 24.

Admitted 29th June, 1894. Sent in as a case of plague. Was found suffering from well marked lymphangitis and erythema of right leg, irritative bubo in right groin, temperature 102° F. Had been diagnosed on seeing bubo as plague. However, he had in addition a dirty foul ulcer on the dorsum of the foot which evidently was the cause of the above condition. He had none of the well marked symptoms of plague beyond "a bubo," and no bacilli were found in the blood or in the bubo, He had been a chronic alcoholic for some time. Under suitable treatment he got well in a few days.

Remarks.--This was one case of several sent in as plague, where evidently the practitioner sending them to Hospital either made a mistake or did not take sufficient time to make a careful examination, which was all the more necessary at that time as the moral effect of the announcement of another European case of plague" was not reassuring to many European residents who were unable to get reliable information.

A CHINESE VIEW OF THE PLAGUE.

The following translation from a Chinese publication gives the latest theories and treatment of the plague, and as it is a peculiar document I give it in full. The translation has been kindly supplied by Mr. J. DYER BALL. It should be noticed that the author lays great stress on what one night term the "disinfection of the family well," I am convinced with a considerable amount of reason. Although the various wells through the City of Victoria are much better built than some of those I have seen in other Chinese places, and in the foregoing report I have given a guarded opinion as to the question of their pollution in Hongkong, still I feel pretty certain that in Canton these wells had a good deal to do with the propaga tion of the Epidemic. The treatment recommended closely resembles what I saw in the Chinese Hospitals here and represents the most advanced views of Chinese Medicine.

Notification by Planchette by the God of War of precious instructions to rescue the world-a harmless remedy to drive away the plague. Do not consider the words as too many. It is urgently requested of you that you must carefully read this and reverence paper with characters on it.

'Whereas we have heard that calamities are caused by atmospheric influences and destiny-Good deeds can cause an avoidance of them.

                       The terrific plague has recently been prevalent; it depresses the hearts and is painful to the sight. Although already people of the whole place distribute prescriptions and medicines free, and offer up all manner of prayers to avert the calamity, which means are the best that men can devise as preventives, yet the noxious influences have not been swept away. The reason of this failure is because the people have not done all the good deeds that they should to move Heaven and gain its approval.

It so happened that the gentlemen of the Society for Offering up Good Deeds, who had been eye-witnesses of the existing calamity, on the night of the 5th day of the 3rd moon, fasted and bathed their persons and reverently invited the gods to proclaim by Planchette a cure for the plague, to help the world. By good luck they were favoured by the presence of Kwan Tai (the God of War) who descended from heaven to put his hand to the pen (of the Planchette) to write out his instructions which are more than a timely warning.

Really this god has an ardent desire to awaken the sleeping world and to instruct the people!

Should we not earnestly reform betimes?

With respect we record below the words of the Planchette in full :-

[This is followed by three sets of scribblings representing the markings of the plauchette The first is not like any writing at all, and no translation of its import is given. From what follows it is evidently intended to represent the halberd of the god. "Revelations by Planchette" Nos. 2 and 3 have, however, renderings of their meaning given as below. They are somewhat like writing.]

Revelation by Planchette No. 2 :-

The seal of Kwan So-and-So, Assistant Superintendent of the Depart-

ment governing Pestilences.

Revelation by Planchette No. 3 :-

Honesty, Bravery, Intelligence.

The unworthy know their unworthiness themselves.

Revelation by Planchette No. 4:--

I am the Great Han (dynasty) Kwan So-and-So.

I inform you who seek for medicine.

If worshippers ask concerning the things of the present,

You must know that the year has arrived at such a stage as not to be

peaceful;

And moreover near the city is a coal mine,

And irritating poison has collected for a long time and is very powerful. You at ordinary times are wicked and rude.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

In times of distress repent before the Buddhas and chant liturgies. It is difficult to escape from destiny.

Although there are charms and medicines, how can they be effectual? You say that Canton suffers from this plague;

But I tell you that Shantung and Shansai will be more in danger. There have already been warnings in Kingchow and Chihli.

Why have you not yet repented of

Fate now makes no mistake.

your sins?

Firstly, men die because their destined existence ends.

Secondly, because they are punished for their secret iniquities.

The deaths now occurring only amount to ten or twenty per cent. of the

number destined to die.

The time is not yet up for the termination of this calamity.

Strictly speaking I should not divulge what heaven has designed;

But with a view to protect children and sympathize with mankind, There is nothing like carrying out an advice of mine.

(If you do so) I shall myself attend to the matter.

See how I acted in my previous engagements:

On all sides the devils feared and the gods reverenced me.

I entreat those who have no righteous thoughts, who slaughter animals

as offerings to gods,

Who spend much on jossaper, incense and candles-

Can these deliver you from illnesses and prolong your lives?

Repent of your sins before me betimes,

Swearing before heaven that you will do so.

Who is not aware of my bravery and propitiousness?

You should neither secretly nor openly deceive your fellow-creatures.

Vow that you will perform a charitable deed,

And thus establish a proof of your contrition which is not of small value;

Or show some evidence by founding charitable institutions;

Or read my liturgy and follow to the letter the instructions therein

contained.

And when you have shown sufficiently that you have not deceived me,

Kwan,

If you read my liturgy for ten days, you will be heard.

I, Kwan, shall appear then in person.

You will then believe that I am to be revered and am propitious.

Revelation by Planchette No. 5:

1, Kwan, was formerly favoured by the Emperor of the Ta Tsing (the present) dynasty by having conferred upon me certain additional titles (these are) Inspector of all the Buddhas and all the Gods, Superintendent of the host of Genii and other Demi-gods, Dispensor of Elixirs and Permits of Longevity (and Governor) of the Dark Land which causes death, and Overseer of Matters connected with the Buddha, K'e Lam. To which was added the title of Celestial Excellency. Again, thanks to the Gemmeous. Ruler, Who, appre- ciating me for my loyalty, faithfulness and uprightness. allowed all important matters directed by him in connection with heaven to be passed by me before being put into force.

On the 24th day of the third moon. I went to the Tin Tsai Kwun to offer congratulations on his birthday, and to deliberate concerning the important matters of life and death of the human race. Mounting back to the three heavenly gates I happened just to meet the two Gods of Fire and Wind and the Star of Gold, Venus, holding the Imperial Decree, descending from heaven to mortal abodes in great haste. I stopped them and asked them concerning their mission. From them I learned that Heaven was exasperated and said that the world was overcrowded with people and had been for a long time increasingly harbouring wicked men ; that even a small child of three feet in height was also full of evil deeds. Heaven had ordered Venus to go to the Palace of the Sea Dragon (Neptune) on a certain day of a certain moon to again cause floods in the rivers, to make the winds and the waters come into conflict, and the fire and the pestilence to burst out, which were to scourge and destroy more than one half of the population as a manifestation of the endless permutations of the creative power. I hurriedly stopped them and ran up to the Palace of Heaven in haste, and with a distressed heart memorialized the Gemmeous Ruler, praying that he (the Ruler) would bear in mind the virtue of

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13?H APRIL, 1895.

having consideration for human life. Now, thanks to the Gemmeous Ruler, who revoked two of his decrees, has limited the time for destruction to half a year.

In every city or town, should there have been the number of five thousand families who had repented and showed true evidence of reformation, the Inspectors of Human Merits and Demerits on duty were to be directed to memorialize (in favour of them) to the Heavenly Throne. Whereupon the Heavenly Throne ordered me, Kwan, to superintend matters connected with the Board of Pestilential Visitations, and to immediately despatch one hundred Inspectors of Merits and Demerits to each province, and one thousand spirits of the defunct virtuous and upright Government Officials and demons of the night, whose duty it should be to go amongst the human race to examine their deeds. So now we have devils and men in company with each other. Is it possible for you men of flesh to be aware of this? But demons of pestilence do not enter the doors of those who are filial to their parents and true to their friends, and you need not be alarmed if you are (such).

I hope you unworthy creatures will remember the report made by me, Kwan, interceding on your behalf and my deepest sympathy for you. You should also remember my ardent desire in making these revelations by Planchette. Do not say that the calamity is now all over and that there is no danger. Of course, I have no right to reveal the secrets of Heaven without any reason; but I have been compelled to reveal them. Hence I have done so. I am apprehensive that one manuscript of my revelations would not induce people to carry out my intentions, thus frustrating the object of my urgent petition. Should any one be found presuming to blaspheme concerning these instructions of mine, then small offenders of this kind shall be consumed by the fire of pestilence; and as for the great offenders I shall order my orderly Chow Chong to put them to death with the halberd, which they are not to resent. Now as I, Kwan, am the Assistant Su- perintendent of the Board of Pestilence people cannot escape from this calamity without my assistance. I, Kwan, am an upright and just god and am not such a god as those who covet animals offered in sacrifice and worship. This being so, are my instructions to be trifled with? If you really crave my protection, let the rich subscribe their names to benevolent institutions. When I find there is any evidence of this being done, I shall be satisfied that they are sincere and true. Let those who are poor, recite my liturgy. If I find that their hearts are in accord with my liturgy, I shall be satisfied that they are sincere and true.

Should women be unable to read my liturgy, let them each morning and night burn some sticks of incense, and pray aloud, which will move me; but none except those who are loyal and filial, honest and virtuous, should read my liturgy. This is important. But as to those who were formerly wicked and cruel but now have become filial and faithful to friends, those who used false weights and measures and who have become honest and upright and in general have changed from all their former evil deeds, it is not too late for these classes to repent. If you are really sincere and will not deceive me, Kwan, you should swear before me and sketch out my precious halberd after the pattern given here, inserting in it the thirty-six circles which will serve as evidence of your sincerity.

After

Below it write the characters, "Assistant Superintendent of the Department governing Pestilences, the seal of Kwan So-and-So.' These ten characters, together with the picture of the halberd, posted before the door of the house will prevent the demons of plague from disturbing you; but, on the other hand, if you, having not sworn before me and promised repentance, should have posted up my name without my authority, you shall not be treated with leniency, should this, your conduct, be reported to me by the Inspectors of Merits and Demerits. your repentance you should immediately take the medicines I shall herein pre- scribe. In addition to so doing, burn some water purifying charms in your family wells and also throw into them some garlic and some kwun chung (medicine). This is a precaution against plague because the water (in the family wells) is becoming colder and poisonous in the plague season, to which has been added the filthy fluid from the bodies of the dead rats which has percolated into them from the drains.

Without taking the above precautions nothing will be of avail in warding off the plague. Should there be any buboes on bodies of the sick, get some sharp pointed itching taro and rub it well on the chest and back and the joints of the bones. But as there are so many forms of diseases it is not easy for common

doctors to detect the symptoms of this disease. When the disease begins, more generally the head is giddy and it is accompanied with fever and cold at intervals, the mouth has a difficulty in articulating. If buboes appear on the skin with eruptions lined with red lines, use a silver needle to prick them, that the poisonous blood may ooze out; but if the dark poisonous blood has extended its attack to the heart the disease is highly dangerous, in which case get some sharp pointed itching taro and boil it with water in a clean saucepan till the water becomes thick with it. It (the water) should then be taken internally. This will dissipate the dark poisonous blood.

I, Kwan, for this special purpose have here given these my revelations (by Planchette), my ardent and real desire being to look after the country and relieve the people.

Do not compare these my instructions to false words, then I shall feel honoured. If any person distributes twenty copies of this, he will save himself, and, if two hundred copies, his whole family.

Take two mace each of (4) Kwun Chung, Ngau P'ong Tsz (?), Shan Chi Tsz (1), Forsythia suspensa (Lin K'iu), Kwai shan (), Libanotis (Fong Fung), China root from Yunnan (Wan Ling); Liquorice-root ( Kam Ts'o) one mace; half a

This wind will prevent the sufferer from swallowing and make him throw up any medicine he has taken.

As regards those who are really sincere and faithful and suffering from diseases (other than those mentioned here) for curing which different diseases the above medicines are not the proper remedies, I will personally go to their houses to treat them.

I will not retract these words. I expressly give these revelations with the pen of the Planchette.

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 sub- sequent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient; and that if, by any law made after the passing of the Act of 1870 by the Legislature of

any British possession, provision is made for carrying into effect within such possession the surrender of fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in such British possession, Her Majesty may, by the Order in Council applying the said Acts in the case of any foreign State, or by any subsequent Order, suspend the operation within any such British possession of the said Acts, or of any part thereof, so far as it relates to such foreign State, and so long as such Law continues in force there and no longer:

  And whereas by an Act of the Parliament of Canada passed in 1886, and entitled "An Act respecting the Extradition of Fugitive Criminals," provision is made for carrying into effect within the Dominion the surrender of fugitive criminals :

  And whereas by an Order of Her Majesty the Queen in Council, dated the seventeenth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, it was directed that the operation of the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, should be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so long as the provision of the said Act of the Parliament of Canada of 1886 should continue in force and no longer :

430

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

   And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the fifth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, between Her Majesty and His Majesty the German Emperor, King of Prussia, for the mutual extradition of fugitive criminals between the territories of Her Majesty and certain Depend- encies of Germany, which Treaty is in the terms following:

HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, and His Majesty the German Emperor, King of Prussia, considering it advisable to regulate by a Treaty the extradition of criminals between certain dependencies of Germany and the territories of Her Britannic Majesty, have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries for this purpose:

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, the Right Honourable John, Earl of Kimberley, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, &c., &c., Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and

His Majesty the German Emperor, King of Prussia, His Minister of State, Paul, Count von Hatzfeldt-Wiklenburg, Knight of the Exalted Order of the Black Eagle, &c., &c., Ambassador Extra- ordinary and Plenipotentiary of His Imperial and Royal Majesty to Her Britannic Majesty ;

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

"ARTICLE I.

"The provisions of the Extradition Treaty signed between Germany and Great Britain on the 14th May, 1872, shall be applicable to the dependencies of Germany specified in the following Article, in such manner that persons in any of these dependencies, and within the sphere of the authorities established there, who are accused, or who have been convicted, of having committed a criminal act in the territories of Her Britannic Majesty, and persons in any of the aforesaid territories of Her Britannic Majesty, who are accused, or who have been convicted, of having committed a criminal act in any of the dependencies of Germany, shall be mutually extradited in accordance with the provisions of the aforesaid Treaty, in so far as they are not modified by the present Treaty.

"ARTICLE II.

"For the purposes of the present Treaty, the following are the dependencies of Germany referred to in Article I:-

"The territories in Africa, in New Guinea, and in the Pacific Ocean which, by agreement between Germany and Great Britain, have been, or shall in future be, reserved to Germany as spheres of influence, Protectorates, or possessions.

"ARTICLE III.

"In place of Article III of the Extradition Treaty of the 14th May, 1872, it is hereby provided, with regard to the dependencies of Germany, that there shall be no obligation to grant the extradition from those dependencies of natives or of subjects of the Empire, and that the British authorities shall be under no obligation to grant the extradition of British subjects who have been accused or convicted of a criminal act in those dependencies.

66 'ARTICLE IV.

"There shall be no obligation to grant extradition from the dependencies of Germany in cases where, before the extradition has taken place, such an application has been received for the transfer of the person in question to the territory of the German Empire as must, according to law, be complied with. The granting of extradition from a dependency of Germany must always be considered as being on the condition that no such application shall have been received before the extradition is carried out. In case the transfer to Germany takes place, it shall, however, be open to the British Government to apply for the extradition of the person concerned from Germany, in accordance with the terms of the Treaty of the 14th May, 1872.

CC

"ARTICLE V.

   Applications for extradition from dependencies of Germany shall be made through the British Ambassador at Berlin, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article VIII of the Treaty of the 14th May, 1872, but in the case of persons who are accused, or who have been convicted, of criminal acts in the Colonies or foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, the application for extradition may be made to the chief authority of the dependency of Germany from which the extradition of the persons in question is desired by the chief Consular officer of Her Britannic Majesty in the dependency in question, if there be a Consular officer therein, or, if there be none, then by the Governor or other chief authority of the Colony or foreign possession of Her Britannic Majesty concerned. It shall, however, be open to the chief authority of the dependency of Germany to refer to the German Government in case of doubt whether the application for extradition should be complied with.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH APRIL, 1895.

431

"Applications for the extradition of criminals to one of the dependencies of Germany shall be made in the manner provided in Article VIII, paragraph 1, and Article XV of the Treaty of the 14th May, 1872; in case, however, there should be no German Consular officer in the Colony or foreign possession of Her Britannic Majesty from which the extradition is desired, the application may be made by the Governor or other chief authority of the dependency of Germany which is concerned to the Governor or other chief authority of the Colony or possession concerned.

"ARTICLE VI.

"The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged as soon as possible. "The Treaty shall come into operation two months after the exchange of the ratifications, and shall remain in force as long as the Treaty of the 14th May, 1872, remains in force, that is, it shall terminate with the termination of that Treaty.

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

And whereas the ratifications of the said Treaty were exchanged at London on the third day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in virtue of the authority committed to Her by the said recited Acts, doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and after the third day of February, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, the said Acts shall apply in the case of the said Treaty with His Majesty The German Emperor, King of Prussia, and of the Dependencies of Germany referred to therein."

Provided always, and it is hereby further ordered, that the operation of the said Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, shall be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so far as relates to the said Dependencies of Germany and to the said Treaty, and so long as the provisions of the Canadian Act aforesaid of 1886 continue in force, and no longer.

And whereas the immediate operation of this Order is urgent, this Order shall come into operation on the said third day of February, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 11th March, 1895.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the annual return of fires and fire alarms for the year 1894. Although the return shows a slight decline on that for 1893, the fires for the most part present the same characteristics as were pointed out in my report for that year.

In the spring the Brigade was seriously embarrassed in its operations by the supply of fresh water becoming intermittent and almost entirely ceasing, and the comparatively large conflagration that occurred in the month of March in Bonhain Strand owed its spread directly to this cause.

It is true that arrangements are made by which water can be turned on upon an alarm of fire occurring, but a good deal of time is lost in carrying them out, and a fire is able to make headway before it can be properly tackled, and in a crowded Colony such as this is, with its narrow and steep streets, delay might easily result in very serious consequences.

I have always been of opinion that the completion of the Tytam water works would admit of the introduction of radical changes in the composition of the Fire Brigade, and time has shown that if the water supply were only constant it would be unnecessary to keep any steam engines other than the floating engine. The pressure of water in the streets is excellent, and cannot be exceeded by the results of the best steam engine. The street hydrants are numerous and well placed, and with the gradual increase of the number of Fire Despatch Boxes it ought to be possible to keep within moderate limits at very small expense any fire taking place in the limits of Victoria. It is, however, a sine qua non of the proper treatment of fires that the water must be unstinted, and so long as it is necessary to hamper the Brigade in its use and at times to cut it off altogether, so long must the steam engines be maintained with their complement of drivers, stokers, and officers.

At the present time, moreover, there is a particular danger in curtailing the fresh water supply, as owing to the Praya Reclamation works, it may at any time be impossible to obtain water from the sea in particular places. It is, therefore, with the greatest anxiety that one learns of an order dim- inishing the supply of fresh water, and it will be an immense relief to me when the supply is made adequate for all purposes.

I have the honour to give a list of the places where the fire despatch boxes are now located, and in conclusion to report that the officers and men have throughout the year given every assistance in the suppression of fires.

I attach copy of Mr. KINGHORN's report on the state of the engines.

I have the honour to be,

The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

"Whenever the Governor in Council; shall be satisfied that the bubonic plague, cholera, small-pox or such other disease as may from time to time be notified in the Gazette, is prevalent or exists in any other port or place, and that there is danger of the introduction of the same into the Colony unless measures are taken to prevent the influx of Chinese, the Governor in Council may from time to time by proclamation under his hand, published in the Gazette, prohibit or regulate the immigration or importation into the Colony of any may from time Chinese from any such port or place for such time as he shall think fit, and to time by notification in the Gazette renew or revoke such proclamation." And whereas the Governor in Council is satisfied that the bubonic plague is at present prevalent in the neighbouring Colony of Macao and in the Island of Hainan, and that there is danger of the introduction of the same into this Colony unless measures are taken to prevent the influx of Chinese from the said Colony of Macao and the said Island of Hainan.

   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 powers vested in me in Council by the said section, do by this proclamation under my hand in Council prohibit from this date and until further notice the immigration or importation into this Colony of all Chinese from the said port of Macao and the said Island of Hainan.

   The following Finding of the Marine Court appointed to enquire into the circumstances connected with the grounding of the British Steamer Polyphemus, Official No. 97,818, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th April, 1895.

J. H. STEWArt Lockhart, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steain-ship Polyphemus, Official Number 97,818, of which WILLIAM THOMAS CHUBB was Master, (Certificate of Competency No. 010,481 of Liverpool), left Singapore on the 1st April, 1895, for Hongkong with general cargo.

That on the morning of April 8th at about 5 o'clock in foggy weather the ship took the ground on Jubilee Island (approaches to Hongkong), the Master himself being on watch at the time.

The Court having regard to the evidence before it finds as follows:--

That the Master appears to have navigated his vessel in a seamanlike and proper manner. That the vessel appears to have been sufficiently found and manned.

That a safe and proper course was being steered and that when the weather became thick the necessary precautions were taken with the exception that the steam whistle was not sounded.

That the ship must have passed the Gap Rock at a distance of not more than 1 miles, she going at a moderate or slow speed, but that the appointed fog signal at that station. was not heard until almost immediately before the ship struck.

That if the Gap Rock fog signal had been heard the casualty would probably not have

occurred.

   The telegraphic fog report which is usually made from the Gap Rock to the Harbour Master was put before the Court. From this it appears that the firing of the fog signal began at 4.20 a.m. and was continued till 11 a.m. and the correction of this information being assumed the attention of the Court is directed to the remarks of the United States Hydrographic Office on the subject of the "uncertainty of audibility of fog signals" published in their Pilot Chart of the North Pacific Ocean for November 1894, and the Court concludes that these remarks have been exemplified in the present case.

The Court therefore absolves the Master from blame and his certificate is returned to him. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 19th day of April, 1895.

a

  WHEREAS by Our Royal Charter under Our great seal bearing date at Westminster the 29th day of December in the 17th year of Our reign (in this Our Charter called "the original Charter") Company was incorporated by the name of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China with a Common Seal for the purpose of carrying on in London, under the management of a Court of Directors, by means of banks or branch banks, the business of banking in any of Our Colonies or Dependencies in Australia and New Zealand, in the Islands of Ceylon or Hong Kong, or at any other port, town, city or place in China, where a Consulate had been or might thereafter be established, or which might be under the superintendence of the principal superintendent of trade at Hong Kong; provided that no such banks or branch banks should be established in any of Our Colonies or Dependencies in Australia or New Zealand unless the previous assent thereto of the Commissioners of Our Treasury should have been signified in writing under their hands, or the hands of any two of them; and for the purpose of establishing agencies in the chief Ports of India, and in any of Our Colonies or Possessions eastward of the Cape of Good Hope in which no banks or branch banks might have been established in virtue of Our Charter, and in other chief ports or places of trade in the East, in order to conduct the business of exchange, deposit and remittance in connection with their other establishments, but subject to the conditions in the original Charter contained.

2. And whereas by a Supplemental Charter under Our great seal dated the 20th day of July 1861, We authorized the said Company to establish a bank or branch bank in the Island of Singapore for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking under the provisions of the original Charter in the Island of Singapore and adjoining British Settlements that is to say Penang and Malacca, but subject to the conditions in the said Supplementary Charter contained.

3. And whereas by the original Charter We declared that on the determination of the term of Twenty one years from the date thereof the privileges thereby conferred on the said Company should cease unless We Our heirs or successors should by writing under Our great Seal declare to the contrary, and should authorize the said Company to continue incorporated under the original Charter for a further term of ten years or for such period and under such conditions as We Our heirs and successors should think fit.

4. And whereas by the original Charter and the Deed of Settlement made in pursuance thereof and the bye-laws made in pursuance of such deed the Commissioners of Our Treasury (in this Our Charter referred to as the Treasury) the Secretary of State in Council of India and the Secretary of State for the Colonies were authorized or required to exercise control over the management of the said Company in divers matters.

  5. And whereas the period of years specified in the original Charter expired on the 29th day of December 1874 and by a Supplemental Charter under Our great seal, dated the 10th day of November 1874 We authorized the said Company to continue incorporated under the original Charter as amended by the said Supplemental Charter for a further period of 10 years.

  6. And whereas by the said last mentioned Supplemental Charter it was declared that it should be lawful for the said Company to carry on its business without the control or interference of the Treasury the Secretary of State in Council of India and the Secretary of State for the Colonies save as in the said Supplemental Charter provided and it was by the said Supplemental Charter provided that the control of the Treasury over an increase of capital not exceeding the amount of Two million pounds and over the establishment of banks or branch banks in any of Our Colonies or dependencies in Australia or New Zealand and the power of Her Majesty to revoke the original Charter on the representation of the Treasury that its conditions had been violated should be retained as contained in the original Charter.

11. And whereas in lieu of the proviso in the original Charter whereby the said Company is bound to keep reserves of specie equal to one third of the Notes in circulation at any time which proviso We do hereby revoke and determine, We deem it expedient to make other provision for securing the due redemption of the Promissory Notes issued by the said Company, We do therefore hereby further will and ordain that the said Company shall within three months from the said 29th day of December 1894 deposit and thenceforth at all times shall keep deposited either with the Crown Agents for Our Colonies in London or with Trustees to be appointed by the Treasury, or partly with such Crown Agents and partly with such Trustees, coin being legal tender without limit in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong respectively or securities to be approved by the Treasury or partly such coin and partly such securities equal to one third of the maximum amount of Notes which may for the time being have been allocated to the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong respectively such coin or securities or such coin and securities to be held by the said Crown Agents or by the said Trustees separately or jointly as special funds exclusively available for the redemption of the Promissory Notes issued by the said Company and in the event of the said Company's becoming insolvent to be applied accordingly so far as may be necessary but without prejudice to the rights of the holders of such notes to rank with other Creditors of the said Company against the assets of the said Company.

PROCLAMATION.

[L.S.]

WILLIAM ROBINSON,

Governor.

By His Excellency Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order `of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong

and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.

  Whereas by section 1 of Ordinance No. 5 of 1895, entitled An Ordinance to enable the Governor in Council to restrict the immigration of Chinese into the Colony and for other purposes in connection therewith, it is enacted as follows:-

"Whenever the Governor in Council shall be satisfied that the bubonic plague, cholera, small-pox or such other disease as may from time to time be notified in the Gazette, is prevalent or exists in any other port or place, and that there is danger of the introduction of the same into the Colony unless measures are taken to prevent the influx of Chinese, the Governor in Council may from time to time by proclamation under his hand, published in the Gazette, prohibit or regulate the immigration or importation into the Colony of any Chinese from any such port or place for such time as he shall think fit, and may from time to time by notification in the Gazette renew or revoke such proclamation."

And whereas the Governor in Council is satisfied that the bubonic plague is at present prevalent in the neighbouring port of Swatow, and that there is danger of the introduction of the same into this Colony unless measures are taken to prevent the influx of Chinese from the said port of Swatow.

  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 powers vested in me in Council by the said section, do by this proclamation under my hand in Council prohibit from this date and until further notice the immigration or importation into this Colony of all Chinese from the said port of Swatow.

By His Excellency's Command,

J. G. T. Buckle,

Acting Clerk of Councils.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. -No. 217.

523

   His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to recognise, provisionally, Vice-Consul R. EISWALDT as in charge of the Imperial German Consulate, during the temporary absence of the Consul for Germany.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th May, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 218.

   The following Finding of the Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steamer Pekin, Official No. 95,860, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 16th May, 1895.

FINDING.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

   We find that the s.s. Pekin, Official No. 95,860, of Hongkong, of which GEORGE PARKER was Master, left Foochow on a voyage to Amoy at 1 P.M. on May 2nd. She was a vessel of 118 tons Register and 40 Horse Power having one Certificated Deck Officer besides the Master and one Engineer holding a First Class Engineer's Certificate

+6

"7

   That Turnabout" was passed at 8 p.m. that evening, and that "Ockseu' was passed at 1.20 the next morning 2 miles distant bearing S. E. by S. (mag.).

   That at about 4.30 on the morning of the 3rd the vessel went on shore on the southern point of Meichen Sound, and that she was afterwards abandoned.

   The causes which led to a casualty which found the ship 10 miles out of her course in less than 4 hours are not made very apparent by the evidence, but the navigation was conducted in a somewhat loose mauner, and the whole question appears to be whether the error of the compass was known and properly applied.

   There is no evidence as to the last occasion on which the error was determined, nor anything reliable to show that its amount and direction were ever sufficiently known for the purpose of safe navigation.

   The weather was fine though probably foggy, and prudence should have suggested a slower speed when the weather became thick, as also the use of the lead, this latter precaution if adopted would have shown at once that the ship was not making good her intended course, the whole watch however were employed, one at the wheel and the other on the look-out, and thus there was no one for the additional precaution.

   The Court are of opinion that the Master was guilty of a wrongful act or default in navigating his vessel in an unseamanlike and careless manner, and it therefore directs that his Certificate of Competency No. 86,046 (Belfast) be suspended for a period of 6 months from this date.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, the 14th day of May, 1895.

And whereas certain Bye-laws were made by the Sanitary Board under the authority of sections 32 and 33 of the said Ordinance on the 11th day of May, 1894, and were on the same day approved by the Officer Administering the Government in Council and published in the Gazette. And whereas certain further Bye-laws were made by the said Board under the like authority as aforesaid on 31st day of May, 1894, and were on the same day approved by the Governor in Council and published in the Gazette.

The following Report of the Director of Public Works for 1894, which was laid before the Legis- lative Council on the 23rd instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's (lice, Hongkong, 25th May, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

No. 123.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 19th March, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward you a report on the work of this department during the past year. Owing to my absence from the Colony during the greater part of the year, I have to acknow- ledge my indebtedness to Mr. BOWDLER, (Special Engineer, Praya Reclamation), the Executive Engineers and the Superintendent of Crown Lands, for much of the information contained in this report.

ANNUALLY RECURRENT WORKS.

2. Repairs to Government Buildings.--The only new building added to the list during the past year was "The Belilios School for Girls," which was completed and taken over by the Government in December 1893.

The total number of buildings of all descriptions in charge of the department is 129.

3. Extensive repairs or alterations have been executed in the following:-

Government Civil Hospital, Women's Hospital, European Lunatic Asylum, Police Stations Nos. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, Shaukiwan Police Station, Peak Signal Station and Officers' Quarters, Gunpowder Magazine Stonecutters' Island.

4. It is a matter of some regret that no practical steps beyond the preparation of plans and estimates have been taken to provide a suitable hill residence for the Governor, and that the Govern- ment have again to enter into a further lease of "Craigieburn" at an increased rental.

  5. The Post Office, Treasury, Supreme Court and Crosby Store, though no longer equal to the demands of the Colony, still remain in the occupation of the departments concerned, and have been maintained and rendered, as far as possible, capable of meeting the increased accommodation required. It is, however, now becoming a generally recognised fact that the accommodation provided, specially in respect of the Post Office, is by no means adequate for the requirements of this Colony, and His Excellency the Governor recently appointed a Committee to enquire into the advisability of concen- trating the several Government departments in buildings on the New Praya Reclamation. Since my return in October last this project has received my careful attention, and general plans and approximate estimates have been submitted to the Committee. It is, therefore, to be hoped that before long this Colony may be provided with buildings more suitable for its requirements than the present ones, the erection of which dates back to its early days.

6. The expenditure under the various sub-heads has been as follows:-

(i) Government House, Government Offices, Supreme

Court and Botanical Department,

(ii) Police Station and Magistracy,

$ 3,819.16

vii) Miscellaneous,

(viii) Harbour (Office, Quarters and Powder Magazine),... 1,574.38

(ix) Typhoon Damages,

Total,...

608.95

$21,345.02

The whole of the buildings have been kept in a satisfactory state of repair so far as their age and condition admit.

7. Some of the Police Stations notably No. 7, Queen's Road West, and No. 2, Praya East, will soon have to be replaced by new buildings and increased accommodation provided.

542

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

   8. A great many complaints have been received during the past year from the Superintendent of the Gaol respecting the Gaol buildings more especially in connection with the Superintendent's Quarters. In these, however, improvements have been effected and on the opening of the Gaol Extension it is hoped that the Gaol accommodation will be found equal to meet all reasonable demands for some years

to come.

MAINTENANCE OF TELEGRAPHS AND TELEPHONES.

9. The telegraph and telephone lines have been kept in good repair during the year though temporary interruptions occurred after the severe typhoons of September and October.

   The wooden poles in the lines from Shaukiwan to Cape D'Aguilar, from No. 6 Police Station to Pokfulam, and partly from Shaukiwan to Stanley, have been replaced by iron ones, and "The Ex- change" at the Post Office has been removed to the Central Police Station.

   10. The Central Police Station is now in direct telephonic communication with Government House, Colonial Secretary's Office, Post Office, Public Works Office, Registrar General's Office, Treasury, Harbour Office, No. 2 Police Station, No. 5 Police Station, No. 6 Police Station, No. 8 Police Station, Peak Signal Station, Sanitary Board Office, and Motor House Garden Road, and by means of simple switches at these stations with Shaukiwan Police Station, Cape D'Aguilar, Stanley Police Station, Hunghom Police Station, Tsimshatsui Police Station, Kowloon Observatory, Yaumati Police Station, Pokfulam Police Station, Aberdeen Police Station, No. 7 Police Station, and Kennedy- town Police Station.

11. The expenditure under this heading of account has been $5,285.88.

12. Public Cemetery.-The Public Cemetery has been maintained without involving any excep- tional expenditure. Owing to the prevalence of the bubonic plague it became necessary to open out a further terrace on the hill side to the west of the chapel, but fortunately few fatal cases occurred amongst the Europeans and only 4 interments were made.

   13. The typhoon of October 5th caused a good deal of damage amongst the trees and shrubs within the Cemetery which will take years to replace.

14. The chapel which has undergone no extensive repairs for years now requires thoroughly overhauling and the work is in hand.

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $1,180.95.

MAINTENANCE OF PRAYA WALL AND PIERS.

   15. These have been maintained without any exceptional expenditure. A new pier of a temporary character has been erected off Ice House Lane to provide accommodation for the traffic previously plying to and from Pedder's Wharf, pending the completion of that portion of the Praya Reclamation and the reconstruction of Pedder's Wharf.

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $572.57.

   16. Maintenance of Lighthouses.-The lighthouses have been maintained in a satisfactory state and with the exception of the Gap Rock Lighthouse without any exceptional expenditure.

   17. In the case of the Gap Rock Lighthouse after the experience of the typhoon in October 1893, various minor repairs and the fixing of iron shutters to some of the more exposed windows and the strengthening of the main doors were considered advisable. These works have been completed, and it is satisfactory to be able to state, though the exposed position of this lighthouse renders it a subject of considerable anxiety during the typhoon season, that during the typhoons that swept over this Colony during last September and October little damage was done. I regret, however, to state that after the consultations I had whilst on leave with Mr. T. MATTHEWS, engineer in chief to the Trinity House, I felt compelled to report to the Government that, in my opinion, if the lighthouse was not to be abandoned during the typhoon season it was necessary to re-build it, (C.O.D.)

   18. The repairs to the lantern and dioptric apparatus damaged in 1893 were completed in May last.

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $7,641.17.

   19. Dredging Foreshores.-The dredger has been mainly employed at Causeway Bay, and 35,026 cubic yards of material have been dredged. Five thousand four hundred and thirteen cubic yards of silt were removed from Bowrington Canal during the year.

   20. I regret to have to state that during the gale of the 25th September the dredger sank off Pottinger Street wharf in about ten feet of water, and she has now to undergo extensive repairs. A special report has been submitted on this subject, C.S.O. 2455.

1894

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $7,503.59.

   21. Miscellaneous Works.-The principal works carried out under this heading have been the following: the reconstruction of the south end wall of the Magazine at Stonecutters' Island; the general repairs, painting, alteration of drains, &c., of the Superintendent's Quarters, Victoria Gaol; the removal of a portion of the ramp on the east side of the Officers' Quarters, Victoria Gaol, and works in connection therewith; the construction of an enclosure wall around the Lunatic Asylums; and- the drainage of Kowloon Observatory, Yaumati Market, and of old Whitfeild Police Station.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

543

22. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Victoria.-The work under this heading has been principally confined to repairing main thoroughfares. Several of the streets and roads suffered during the heavy rains which accompanied the typhoon of October last, the retaining wall supporting Seymour Road on Inland Lot 509 collapsed and the road slipped away, a portion of the retaining wall on the north side of Upper Richmond Road was knocked down and carried away part of the roadway, a portion of the roadway in Glenealy was also carried away, a large landslip occurred on the south side of Morrison Hill Road opposite Morrison Hill, and numerous smaller slips throughout the City. The macadamised surface of Praya Central was considerably broken up by the heavy seas which broke over the Praya wall.

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $22,292.24.

23. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges out of Victoria.-Thorough repairs have been executed to the new and old Aberdeen roads, the road from Deep Water Bay to Stanley, the road to Cape D'Aguilar, the road from Victoria Gap to Pokfulam, Wanchai Gap Road and Magazine Gap Road.

24. Several of the old timber bridges in the outside districts have been removed and replaced by bridges constructed of iron rails and concrete.

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $11,928.56.

25. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges in Kowloon.-Until after the heavy gales of September and October last all the roads and streets in Kowloon were in good repair. The heavy rains which then occurred and the seas which broke over the Des Voeux Road caused considerable damage to the surface. Des Voeux Road has now been concreted for a width of twelve feet between East and Austin Roads..

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $5,537.10.

26. Maintenance of Waterworks.--The waterworks both in the City of Victoria and at the Peak have been maintained in a satisfactory condition without any exceptional expenditure.

27. It is, however, with regret that I have again to record that the consumption, (in this term I include legitimate use, misuse, and waste,) of water necessitated the introduction of the intermittent system from March 14th to May 16th.

The following tabular statement shews the hours of supply and the consumption during the period referred to:-

29. The quantity of water filtered at the Tytam and Pokfulam filter beds during the past year has been 800,087,000 and 241,721,000 gallons respectively, making a total of 1,041,808,000 gallons, equal to a consumption of 14.8 gallons per head per diem for a population of 193,000 (estimated population supplied). Deducting 50,677,000 gallons supplied by meter mainly for trade purposes reduces the consumption per head per diem for domestic purposes to 14 gallons nearly.

30. In November last Messrs. A. W. and J. MILLAR were detailed to make house to house inspections of the water services and from that date 1,611 houses have been inspected, 491 of the services were found to be defective. This inspection had previously been carried out by Mr. DRAPER who had inspected 744 houses, 276 being found defective. These figures shew that there is still room for reducing the consumption of water by more careful attention to the maintenance of private services. 31. Though I have on previous occasions and do again call the attention of occupiers of premises to the importance of checking as far as possible the misuse or abuse of water, by leaving taps running and using more than a reasonable quantity for the various domestic purposes for which water is required, I most emphatically assert that a reasonable quantity of water is absolutely necessary for maintaining a sanitary condition in every city, town, village or dwelling, and to attempt to restrict such reasonable quantity would be a retrograde step in connection with the sanitation of this Colony.

32. That misuse and abuse of water do to a large extent exist is evident from the following tabular statement shewing the reduction in the consumption of water in various premises after the consumption had been ascertained by measurement and notice had been served on the occupiers to abate such excessive consumption under penalty of having the services disconnected from the waterworks.

   This statement further shews what power the occupiers of premises have to check the misuse and abuse of water and that their failure to exercise that power leads to the consumption of a much larger quantity of water than what is really necessary, burdening the Colony with heavy expenditure in the extension of reservoirs and filtration of water.

33. Metering private services in order to check the domestic consumption was discontinued in March on the temporary introduction of the intermittent supply and was not recommenced until August.

34. A total of 1,038 houses were metered during the past year, 441 were served with notices to abate excessive consumption and 171 were disconnected from the mains for failure to comply with such notice, care being taken that in every instance a supply could be obtained from street fountains within reasonable distance of the premises disconnected.

35. The prescribed domestic quantity has now been fixed in accordance with section 13 of Ordinance 16 of 1890 for 1,752 houses, the allowance per head per diem varying from 5 gallons to 25 gallons.

   36. The Honourable E. R. BELILIOS at a meeting of the Legislative Council on December the 6th availed himself of the privilege conceded by His Excellency the Governor to make a speech on the occasion of asking a question. In that speech he advocated the general use of meters and made other statements in connection with the public water supply of this Colony. As it would have been out of order either for other members or myself to have attempted to express our non-concurrence with the opinions expressed by the honourable member, I take this opportunity of placing on record that though I believe the more general introduction of meters in the cases of detached or semi-detached houses might with advantage both to the consumer and the ratepayers of this Colony be permitted; their general use throughout the native quarters of the City, where the bulk of the population reside in tenement houses and in many cases no less than three or more families occupy one floor, would not only be attended with a very large initial expense, but their maintenance and the prevention of their being tampered with or stolen, even if practicable, would be very costly.

37. It has on more than one occasion been stated that if persons pay water rates they have a right to have water laid on to their premises, and if they have not the water laid on to their premises

*

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25?H MAY, 1895.

545

they should not be required to pay rates. I would briefly call attention to the fact that the water rates have not only to meet the expenditure of the supply of water for domestic purposes but also for fire service, flushing sewers, watering streets, &c., from which every resident more or less derives some benefit.

38. Speaking generally, there is not the slightest doubt that from a sanitary point of view a constant supply of water should be laid on to or be readily obtainable for use in all premises.

39. The full appreciation by the public of the necessity of checking abuse and misuse of water may take some time and though it is a very different matter introducing a constant supply into premises occupied by some 120,000 persons from what it is where the population is only 15,000 or 20,000, I would point to the very material reduction in the consumption of water that has taken place in recent

   in cities and towns in England and express a hope that the public years

hope that the public generally will before long shew that they are not behind the residents in those cities and towns in their endeavours to check unnecessary waste.

   40. The number of meters now in use is 188, and the quantity of filtered and unfiltered water supplied by meter has been 108,834,000 gallons and 71,856,000 gallons respectively.

   41. Applications for the construction of new services and the repair of existing ones have been received in 377 cases.

42. Diagrams shewing the hourly consumption of water during periods of 24 hours are attached. Appendix D.

43. Tabular statements giving information respecting the quantity of water in the reservoirs and that supplied to different districts during the year 1893 (which were omitted from the last report), and during the past year will be found in the appendices A., A1., B., and C.

44. Maintenance of Sewers.-The sewers and storm water drains have as far as practicable been maintained in a satisfactory condition during the past year without any exceptional expenditure.

45. That complaints have been received of the smell arising from some of the storm water drains I am fully aware, but it must be borne in mind that so long as decomposing matter is discharged into sewers or drains, smells are inevitable and in order to avoid them it is absolutely necessary that not only the public sewers but also each and every house drain must be so arranged as to permit of their contents being discharged before decomposition sets in, and further care should be taken not to store sewage up on private premises till it attains a state of decomposition and becomes so offensive that it can no longer be endured in close proximity to human habitations, and then discharge it down a drain.

Everybody knows that any fluid that has a strong odour whether it be cabbage water, otto of roses, or anything else, will carry with it that odour wherever it goes, and if foul smells are not to be emitted from sewer ventilators it is of primary importance that the sewage discharged into the sewers should be fresh.

46. Difficulty is at present experienced in preventing foul smells arising from the large storm water drains on account of their large capacity and the small flow in them during the dry season, and this has been somewhat aggravated during recent years by the dilatory manner in which the recon- struction of defective and insanitary house drains and their connection with the new sewerage system has been proceeded with. The whole of the house drains should be put in a thoroughly sanitary condition and connected with the new sewers without delay. It must be remembered the new system of sewers has been designed to be practically self-cleansing with the dry weather flow, but so long as these sewers are deprived of half the dry weather flow owing to the house drains being unconnected with them it cannot be a cause of surprise to any thoughtful person that the full advantage of the system should not be gained. And further dilatory procedure in the disconnecting of the house-drains from the storm water drains only aggravates the nuisance that has existed for years in connection with these drains by reducing the dry weather flow in them, and the polluting of the sub-soil by sewage escaping from many of them.

47. It is hardly conceivable after the various reports and discussions that have been recorded that there should exist any such idea that the new system of sewers had diverted the storm water from the old drains, and yet I find it recorded in the mail issue of the Daily Press, June 27th, 1894, that at a meeting of the Sanitary Board a member stated that the carrying out of the new system diverted storm waters of the Colony from the old fashioned storm water drains by which alone these drains were kept in order. It is interesting to note that in the opinion of this member the flow of storm water is necessary to keep these drains in order. This I have always contended is the case so long as they receive sewage, and their inevitable condition during the dry season of the year when there is practically no storm water must be insanitary. That condition is one of the main reasons why I have always advocated diverting the sewage but not the storm water from the old storm water drains.

  48. During the past year various questions relating to the introduction of the separate system and the advisability of having open drains throughout the greater part of the City have been again brought forward in most cases by anonymous writers.

  One member of the Sanitary Board, however, stated that in his opinion no drains should be laid under the floor of any house and if it was not possible to adopt any other course than to bring it through the house the pipe should be laid above the floor. That gentleman, however, did not explain how the difficulty of many of the cook-house floors being level with or below the remaining portion of the ground floor of the house was to be got over in view of the fact that water will not run up hill.

546

49. It would only be a waste of time on my part to deal in detail with the various questions raised evidently by persons with no practical knowledge of the arrangement of Chinese houses, elementary hydraulics, or of what is meant by the separate system as being introduced into the City of Victoria and by persons who have not even taken the trouble to read the various published reports on the sanitation and drainage of Hongkong.

The expenditure under this heading of account has been $4,241.17.

LAND SURVEY BRANCH.

52. During the past year four land sales have taken place, the area sold being 948,350 square feet including about 20 acres situated in the Sookunpoo Valley which was purchased on the 27th December last for the purpose of constructing reservoirs. Premium realized $64,605. Annual Crown rents $1,620.

53. Extensions to existing lots of a total area of 78,652 square feet have been granted. Premiums realized $8,247.30. Annual Crown rents $683.98.

54. Surveys have been made, boundaries corrected, and plans and particulars forwarded to the Land Office for the issue of 33 new leases.

A complete survey of the Kowloon Peninsula has been completed and plotted to a scale of 0. Enlarged plans of the villages have also been prepared.

Boundary stones have been fixed to define 15 lots.

55. As will be seen from the following tabular statements 1,543 squatter's licenses have been issued, the fees for which amount to $5,498.13..

NOTE.-* In these villages Owners of Property have been placed on the Treasury Rent Roll in accordance with the recommendations of the

Squatters' Board.

56. There is, I regret to say, $60.78 outstanding which it has been found impossible at present to collect though it is satisfactory to note that the arrears for the past year are considerably less than in previous years and active steps are being taken to secure their immediate payment.

A sum of $587.54 has been collected in respect of arrears prior to 1894, leaving $38.16 still to be collected.

57. Plans and particulars have been forwarded to the Land Office for the issue of leases in respect of the claims reported on by the Squatters' Board in the villages of Wongnaichung, Aberdeen, Pokfulam, Ah Kung Ngam, Shaukiwan district, Tai Hang, and Kai Lung Wan. Those in respect of the villages of Wongnaichung, Aberdeen and Pokfulam were completed prior to 1894.

Owing to the settlement of the above claims the majority of the owners of property in those vil- lages are now on the Treasury Rent Roll.

WORK UNDER THE BUILDING ORDINANCE.

58. During the past year 14 plans for the erection of 86 European dwellings, 19 plans for the erection of 199 Chinese dwellings, besides 209 plans for miscellaneous structures, have been deposited under Section 69 of Ordinance 15 of 1889.

59. Seventy-four certificates have been issued under Section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889.

60. Permission has been granted to erect 18 verandahs, and 12 piers over Crown Land.

61. Notices have been issued to remove or repair dangerous structures in 54 instances, and 784 miscellaneous notices and permits have been issued.

62. Permits have been issued for the erection and repair of 34 monuments and enclosures in the colonial cemetery, the fees for which amount to $8.16.

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

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

549

  77. Extension of MacDonnell and Austin Roads, Kowloon, (C.S.O. 1333).-This work has not proceeded very satisfactorily and a good deal of trouble has been experienced with the contractor. It is, however, now drawing near completion.

Erection of the Queen's Statue, (C.S.O. 1959.)-A contract has been entered into for the preparation of the foundations for the erection of the Queen's Statue in commemoration of the Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen VICTORIA, and active operations on the site near the City Hall will shortly be commenced.

1894

  79. Extension of Tytam Waterworks, (C.S.O. 1999.)-A contract has been entered into for raising the water level in the Tytam reservoir 10 feet, by which it is hoped that an additional storage capacity of 100,000,000 gallons will be obtained. The work was commenced just before the close of the year, plans being approved by the Public Works Committee 28th November, 1894, and adopted Legislative Council 6th December, 1894.

PROPOSED WORKS.

by the

  80. Kowloon Cattle Depot, (C.S.O. 2552.)--Married Quarters Central Police Station, (C.S.O. 18.)-Signalling Station Kowloon, (C.S.O. 2433.)-Village Water, Drainage and Sewerage Works. The above works appear in the estimates for this year, and it is hoped that the first three will be commenced at an early date.

  81. Water and Drainage Works are required in many of the villages, which will include the formation of streets, roads, and efficient drainage. Some of the villages have during recent years grown considerably, and contain buildings of a substantial character. Several improvements during the last two years have been effected in the alignment and position of buildings, and the time has arrived when it is absolutely necessary that more attention should be paid to the formation and drainage of the streets and to the public water supply in these localities for the protection of the health of the residents.

82. Approximate plans and estimates have been prepared for the erection of new Government Offices, and doubtless considering the much needed provision of improved accommodation the Legis- lative Council will at an early date be asked to vote the money necessary to meet the expenditure on these buildings.

GENERAL.

83. During the past year the progress of the public works in hand and the preparation of the necessary plans, &c. for proceeding with others of a more or less urgent nature have been naturally impeded by the prevalence of the bubonic plague.

  An account of the terrible ravages made by this disease and the various precautions it will in the future be necessary to take to prevent it again assuming an epidemic form does not come within the scope of this report.

During the months of May, June, and July, nearly the whole of the Public Works staff was more or less engaged in grappling with the difficulties experienced in stamping the disease out, erecting temporary hospitals, &c., and disposing of the remains of the dead.

  84. On my return to the Colony last October I found an Ordinance had just been passed resuming a large portion of Taipingshan. As this Ordinance came almost immediately into force and apparently no definite scheme for arriving at the amount of compensation to be offered by the Government to the owners of property nor for the future disposal of the property resumed had been prepared, these matters obtained my earliest attention and have engaged a large proportion of my time since my return.

85. As the question of compensation is referred to a Board of Arbitrators I abstain from making any remarks on the subject, but I wish to place it on record that I am informed that my locum tenens in the office of Director of Public Works was neither consulted by the Government, at the time the Bill was drafted, on the provisions of the Ordinance nor on the necessity of resuming the whole of the area included within its operation.

86. The special works arising out of the epidemic of bubonic plague carried out under the super- vision of this department were the preparation of plague cemeteries at Happy Valley, Kennedytown and Sandy Bay, Matshed Hospitals at Kennedytown, Temporary Cattle Depot at Kennedytown, Walling in portions of the native quarter of the City since resumed by Government. The services of Mr. CROOK, Executive Engineer, and Mr. DOUGHERTY, Overseer, were placed at the disposal of the Sanitary Board Permanent Committee.

87. The expenditure incurred on work carried out under the supervision of this department is returned in appendix under heading plague expenditure.

  88. Expenditure. The expenditure on account of Establishment and Annually Recurrent Works will be found in Appendix E, and that on account of Extraordinary Public Works in Appendix F.

PRAYA RECLAMATION WORKS.

89. Section No. 1, Eastern portion.-The weighting of the rubble stone foundations was completed on the 16th May. The setting of the second course of concrete blocks was commenced on the 5th May and completed on the 27th September, except two landings (which had to be specially made) for the bottom of the landing steps, and these were completed during the low tides of the 14th and 15th December.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY; 1895.

18 1894

On the 21st February, a Contract No. 4 was made with TSANG KENG for the completion of the upper portion of the sea wall above the concrete blocks, construction of storm water drains, filling in and reclaiming the land, forming, channelling and concreting the footpaths, &c. ; 2,629 cubic yards of rubble stone have been laid (hand packed) in embankment and backing of sea wall, 37,338 cubic yards of earth filled in and rammed in reclamation, 19,920 cubic feet of granite ashlar set in cement mortar in sea wall and storm water drains, 308 cubic yards of Portland cement concrete backing of sea wall and 382 cubic yards of lime concrete backing of masonry of storm water drains, &c., have been deposited in place; fairly good progress has been made on this contract.

Filling below Datum, 756 cubic yards of earth has been deposited by Hopper Barges.

1892

90. Section No. 2.--The works under contract No. 13 of July 1892, for the construction of the upper portion of the sea wall above the concrete blocks, construction of storm water drains, filling in and reclaiming the land, forming, channelling and concreting the footpaths, &c. The works under this contract were suspended or nearly so for about four months on account of the plague, the work- men having run away as soon as the rubbish from the infected houses in Taipingshan was brought on to the reclaimed land to be burnt, and, during the remaining portion of the year, they were carried on by the contractor in a dilatory and unsatisfactory manner; the work executed being 829 cubic yards rubble stone (hand packed) backing of sea wall and embankment, 29,411 cubic yards of earth filled in and rammed, 26,899 cubic feet granite ashlar set in cement mortar, 789 cubic yards of Portland cement and lime concrete, 6,640 superficial feet granite side channels and curbs, 13,650 superficial feet lime concrete on footpath, 29 gullies with outlet pipes, &c., fixed complete.

91. The storm water drain in Queen's Road and Centre Street, contract No. 2, was after many delays and difficulties completed on the 31st May, about 15 months after the contract time. The work under this contract was taken much below its real value, consequently the work was carried on in a dilatory and unsatisfactory manner, the contractor losing the little money he had, absconded in February, the contract was then transferred to TSANG KENG and finally completed by him on the 2nd June, 1894.

92. Section No. 3.-Very little progress has been made on this section on account of the time required for weighting and consolidating the rubble stone foundations. The weighting of the rubble stone foundations was commenced on the 7th April and continued to the end of the year, during which time 951 lineal feet have been consolidated.

93. The filling and reclaiming the land below Datum is now completed as high as practicable, this work being done departmentally by Hopper Barges and spoil from Dredger, 21,522 cubic yards of earth and mud having been deposited therein during the year.

   94. The upper surface of the rubble stone foundations of storm water drains, (C.S.O. 1884), was trimmed, levelled and covered with lime concrete during the low tides of July and August, 113 cubic yards of lime concrete and 662 cubic yards of rubble stone being used for that purpose.

95. Sections Nos. 6 and 7, Eastern and Western portion. A contract No. 9 was entered into with TSANG KENG on the 11th April last, for the construction of the rubble stone foundations of sea wall, (968 lineal feet), landing piers, storm water drains, embankment, &c.; and, on the 29th April, he commenced to drive and fix the guide piles, &c., for marking out the lines of the proposed found- ations, and, for that purpose, 49 piles containing about 5,150 cubic feet of timber had to be driven, and 1,390 cubic feet of timber fixed in walings, braces, &c.; the whole being completed on the 30th June. During the months of June, July and August, comparatively very little work was done on this contract; the requisite number of coolies and junks could not be obtained on account of the plague, consequently only 95,068 cubic yards of rubble stone have been deposited in the foundations, instead of about 130,000 cubic yards, the upper surface of the foundations will, therefore, have to be trimmed and levelled by divers to allow the setting of the first course of concrete blocks being commenced during the first low tides of May 1895.

   96. Filling and reclaiming the land below Datum, 61,144 cubic yards of earth has been deposited by Hopper Barges, and 10,556 cubic yards of mud and sand have been deposited by junks from Dredger.

15

   97. The temporary wharf opposite Ice House Street, contract No. 2, was after many delays and difficulties completed aud opened to traffic on the 27th June. The timber required in its construc- tion 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 CHAN A TONG, the Contractor.

98. Section No. 7, Eastern portion, contract No. 19. The completion of the upper portion of Sea Wall and Reclamation on a length of 1,130 feet, the work under this contract was suspended for about nine months, to allow the sewer pipes, gas and water mains being laid, and the ground to settle and consolidate during the heavy rains of summer, the work being resumed in November 1893, and completed on the 18th September, 1894.

   The following work was done during the year, viz.:-4,180 cubic yards of earth supplied for filling and levelling the roads, land, &c; 1,540 lineal feet granite curbs set; 1,070 lineal feet granite side channels, 3 feet wide, and 2,570 lineal feet, 2'. 6′′ wide, were laid; 208,500 superficial feet lime concrete, 6" deep, laid, watered and rolled on roads; 63,900 superficial feet lime concrete, 4" thick, laid, watered and rolled on footpaths; 27,500 superficial feet lime concrete laid under curbs and channels; and 3,750 superficial feet granite paving taken up, re-squared, and re-laid in cement mortar.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

551

  99. Plant.-The whole of the plant has been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair without involving any extraordinary expenditure The steam travelling crane has been laid up during the year, as it was found that the concrete blocks could be set quicker and at a much less cost by manual labour, using a derrick and winch, than by steam crane; and the block making having been suspended, except the making of 36 special and face blocks, which were made on the Praya and removed by the floating crane.

   100. Work executed.-In appendix G will be found a statement shewing generally the work executed - in the more important items up to the 31st December, 1893, and during the past year.

  101. Accounts.-In appendix H will be found a statement of accounts. Outstanding liabilities amount to about $46,800 mainly due to the monies retained pending the completion of contracts in hand.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 226.

The following Reports on the Hongkong Volunteer Corps, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 23rd instant, are published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th May, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS.

ANNUAL INSPECTION OF

HEAD QUARTER OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 19th April, 1895.

this

year

SIR,-I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that I personally made the annual inspection

of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps in regard to which I have to report as follows:- Both branches of the Corps are now in a state of efficiency. The turn-out of the men and their drill was most satisfactory. The Officers know their drill fairly well and are zealous in the perform- ance of their duties. The guns, small arms and equipment are well kept up, the maxim guns looking particularly serviceable.

   With reference to the annual report of the Commandant which, with its enclosures, I forward herewith, I have much pleasure in bringing to Your Excellency's notice the increase in the number of members during the year from 95 to 112, and also the increase in the number of efficients by 24, facts which indicate a very satisfactory progress which, I trust, will be continued.

   The several changes which I had the honour to recommend last year have been carried out with markedly satisfactory results.

The substitution of coolie draft for ponies has been a complete success.

   The appointment of an experienced Quarter-Master Sergeant has added much to the efficiency of the Corps.

The handing over by the Government to the Corps of the complete building in which its Head- quarters are situate--thus enabling the members to feel that the Corps has a home of its own, with space for all its requirements social as well as official-has largely tended to place the Corps on that permanent footing which was so much required.

   If the funds will admit of it, I quite endorse the Commandant's recommendation for khakee clothing and brown belts and slings to be substituted for the present white drill clothing and buff belts and slings of the Field Battery, but as regards his proposal for extending the drill season over a long period I should advise a longer test of the present system which was adopted after much consideration as being the best adapted to the peculiar local circumstances, and the elasticity of which--as provided for in existing regulations--seems to have been hardly availed of to the full extent.

   The post of Acting Commandant which had been so long and ably held by Colonel JERRARD, to whom to a great extent the success of the Corps is due, has been well filled by Major PEMBERTON, 1st Rifle Brigade, who has entered with much zeal into the work in which he has had a large experi- ence as Adjutant of Volunteers in England; and the Corps is to be congratulated upon having the services of such a capable officer.

   This my final report on the Hongkong Volunteers would not be complete without bringing specially to Your Excellency's notice the very valuable services rendered by my Aide-de-Camp, Cap- tain MURRAY, in having organized and commanded from its commencement the Maxim Gun Company, which mainly by his untiring exertions, great tact, and popularity has been brought to its present state of efficiency.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Excellency's obedient Servant,

His Excellency

THE GOVERNOR OF HONGKONG.

tion Grant.

The substitution of coolie for pony draft has proved a great success.

   The Officers have assisted me greatly by their regular attendance at drills, and by the example they have set, and I feel that the increased efficiency of the Corps is largely due to their efforts.

   The Non-Commissioned Officers are nearly all most zealous and have shewn a good example to the men by regular attendance at parades, and by the interest they take in their work.

   With regard to the men I notice that the increase in the number of efficients over last year is as under:

Field Battery, Maxim Gun Company,

.......17

   I venture to recommend that khakee and blue putties be substituted for the summer clothing worn at present by the Field Battery. The Maxim Gun Company retaining their present uniform. Should this proposal meet with approval I would respectfully suggest that brown leather belts be substituted for the pipe clayed buff accoutrements now worn by the Field Battery.

   I think that the drill season as at present fixed is not sufficiently elastic. Lieutenant-Colonel F. JERRARD on handing over to me mentioned that this was also his opinion. It is not easy to obtain good musters at any parades after April 1st. I would ask that sanction may be given for the drill season to commence on October 1st and close on 31st March. I feel certain that this alteration would enable members to attend the requisite number of drills with less inconvenience to themselves and their employers than is the case at present. In England the drill season is during the summer months, and the minimum duration is four months.

   Since last inspection the rest of the building used as Head Quarters has been handed over, and will be furnished as a recreation room for members of the Corps. I am strongly of opinion that the handing over of the building will eventually prove very beneficial to the Corps generally.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

ARTHUR R. PEMBERTON,

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, Sth April, 1895.

   SIR, I have the honour to forward for your Excellency's information the report of the Po Leung Kuk society for the nine months ending the 31st December last, together with the accounts and a statement of the assets and liabilities of the society with a declaration of the truth of it made before a Justice of the Peace by two of the members of the Permanent Board.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

His Excellency

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

REPORT.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary and Registrar General.

   The Po Leung Kuk Incorporation Ordinance, as amended by direction of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, came into force on the 31st March, 1894.

The following ten gentlemen were elected to act as the Managing Committee for the year:-

TONG WAN-CHIU.

CHAU SIU-KI.

IP CHUK-KAI.

LI SAU-HIN

CH'AN KING-TING.

FUNG WA-CHUN.

WAI MIN-CHAI.

KU FAI-SHAN.

HUI SHUN-CHUN.

WONG UI-CHUN.

Messrs. LEUNG PUI-CI and YUNG KUNG-Po were appointed Treasurers for the Society, and the Managing Committee receive from them each month sufficient to meet the monthly disbursements.

The funds of the society are at present on deposit with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, as no more suitable investment has offered itself.

Attached is a statement giving briefly the work done during the last nine months of 1894. In each case of marriage or adoption ample security has been required. Three of the wards died during the year.

On the commencement of the plague the wards were removed from the apartments occupied by them in the Tung Wa Hospital to the second floor of three houses in New Street. Acting on the advice of the Colonial Surgeon, the Tung Wa Hospital has made use of the apartments formerly

574

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25?H MAY, 1895.

occupied by the Po Leung Kuk for other purposes, and there is no early prospect of the society being able to remove from its present quarters. These have been found to be most unsuitable. They are overlooked by the houses on the opposite side of the street, are difficult of access and afford no means of separating the various classes of inmates.

  The society is anxious to make use of a site which is within the Taipingshan Resumption Area, but no arrangement has been concluded.

The rooms have been visited regularly by Mr. THURBURN and Mr. Ho Fook, the two visiting justices appointed by the Governor.

Nine meetings of the Permanent Board have been held. Two members of the Managing Com- mittee are invited to be present at each meeting.

In accordance with regulation No. 18, the accounts of the society and a statement of the assets and liabilities on the 31st December last are forwarded for His Excellency's consideration as also a declaration of the truth of the statement by Messrs. LEUNG PUI-CHI and WAI LONG-shan.

The accounts have been kindly audited by Messrs. TANG WING-SING, of the Mercantile Bank, and Tam Lui-ts'ung of the UN FAT HONG. They show a balance to the credit of the society of $30,215.83.

The $20,000 granted by the Government as a building fund are on deposit with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and being granted for a special purpose and in the charge of the Colonial Treasurer are not entered in the accounts.

The society has to thank the Tung Wa Hospital for generously continuing to defray the cost of feeding its wards.

  The following Supplementary Report of the Retrenchment Committee on the Public Works Department, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 23rd instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th May, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

With reference to paragraphs 24, 25 and 26 of our report on the expenditure of the Colony, having taken the evidence of Mr. COOPER, we have now the honour to sub- mit the following observations respecting the staff of the Public Works Department.

2. In paragraph 25 of the main report we set out the value of the work done every year since 1882, together with the salaries and other charges. As pointed out by us, the salaries of the indoor staff proper amounted in 1874 to $19,225, and in 1884 to $25,428, whilst in the estimates for this year they reached the figure of $49,692.

3. A reference to the paragraph above cited will shew the very great rise in salaries since 1882. It is, therefore, a matter of regret to learn from Mr. COOPER that, with the exception of recommending that the offices of Superintendent of Crown Lands and Correspondence Clerk should be abolished, he has no other recommendations to suggest.

4. We would beg to call the attention of His Excellency to the fact that, in con- nection with certain works, there are employed an engineer, assistant engineer, over- seers and foremen. Take, for instance, the sub-department or branch of work of which Mr. TOOKER has charge; that officer has under him two assistant engineers, viz., Mr. HAZELAND and Mr. DRURY, also several overseers, to whom again are subordinated certain foremen. (Vide Mr. COOPER'S evidence.)

5. We have examined the correspondence books and registers and are agreed that the office of Correspondence Clerk should be abolished. It is also our opinion that a Superintendent of Crown Lands is not required, as the extent of land is so small and the land itself is practically all waste, little of which is now put up for sale, there is, therefore, no necessity for such an officer, and we recommend that the post should be abolished as soon as possible.

6. One Land Surveyor, acting under the Director of Public Works, with a Land Bailiff, would be able easily to undertake all the services attaching to such an office; but we do not recommend the appointment of a land survey officer in lieu of Mr. Malsch.

7. In presence of the evidence of Mr. COOPER, we are not prepared to recommend any further reduction in the staff, but we wish to record our opinion that, although we do not feel justified in suggesting any further reductions, yet considering the size of the island and the public works which are being carried on in the Colony, the staff is far too great and expensive.

8. It is largely in excess of what it was in Mr. PRICE's day when great and im- portant works were carried out; we, therefore, fail to see any need for the marked in- crease which has occurred in the staff of this department since the date of Mr. PRICE'S retirement.

9. With respect to the drainage of the City, on which a very large sum of money has already been expended and for which further sums will be required, we desire to record our emphatic and unanimous opinion that, so far as regards the removal of the offensive smells that at one period prevailed in certain spots, the present system has altogether failed, for there are many places in town and in the streets where the new system is in operation which are so offensive and productive of stenches as to be a dis- grace to any civilised City.

Hon. C. P. CHATER.

Hon. J. J. KESWICK.

Mr. T. JACKSON.

Mr. T. SERCOMBE SMITH, (Secretary).

Hon. F. A. COOPER called.

The CHAIRMAN.-You no doubt know, Mr. COOPER, that this is a Committee appointed at the request, I believe, of the Unofficial Members of Government to see what retrenchment we could make in the various departments and what saving we could effect in the expenditure of the Colony. We have held over the examination into your department because you and Mr. CHATHAM were away.

and Mr. CHATHAM were away. We should like now to hear your views on the subject of your own department, the number of officers, their work, salary, and so on.

Hon. F. A. COOPER.--I have asked to have sent to you a report on the minimum staff required for efficiently performing the duties of my department. This report was written on the 16th September, 1892, and is contained in Colonial Office Despatch No. 203 of 1892. In that report I recommended, when vacancies occur, that the office of Correspondence Clerk should be abolished, subject to the Accountant being a European and holding the title of Office Assistant, amalgamating the duties of Correspondence Clerk and Accountant. In place of the Correspondence Clerk, I proposed that another clerk should be appointed at a reduced salary. This clerk to undertake many of the duties now performed by the Accountant in looking after the proper keeping of the books and performing details of work which the Accountant has hitherto done, because, when the Accountant is placed in charge of the accounts and correspondence, he will not have time to devote his attention to details. I also proposed that, when a vacancy occurred in the appointment of Chinese Draftsman, the salary should be reduced. The present Draftsman, Mr. SING QUA, has been in the department a long time and his salary has been raised from time to time. It is now $1,080 a year and I proposed the maximum of $720 for his successor. The post of Office Assistant, which amalgamated the 'two offices of Accountant and Correspondence Clerk, I proposed should have $3,000 as a maximum, the Accountant and Correspondence Clerk drawing each a salary of $2,400 at the present time. I may say that the Correspondence Clerk has resigned during my absence and Mr. Wood has been appointed Office Assistant. But as yet no clerk. has been appointed, as I recommended, at a salary of $1,200. I further recommended that the office of Superintendent of Crown Lands should be abolished, and that in place of the Superintendent of Crown Lands and the Land Surveyor two Land Surveyors should. be appointed at salaries of $2,500 and $2,400 respectively. The other recommenda- tions have all taken effect as officers have resigned or been pensioned, and the staff now is below the minimum I then recommended. I represented the matter to the Govern- ment the other day and the papers have been forwarded for the information of the Com- mittee. I am of opinion that the Clerk in Mr. RENNIE'S place should be appointed.

Q.-You have no other recommendations to make?

A.-No, not as regards staff. I do not know whether the Committee is going to consider the question of individual salaries.

Q.-We want first of all to see what your staff is, what are their duties and whether some of them could not be dispensed with? Whom have you under you now? Could you give us their names and shortly their work?

A.-By reference to the Colonial Estimates you will see that the staff has been arranged under various headings, Engineers, Surveyors, Clerks, etc. I propose to follow the arrangement in the Estimates. The Executive Engineer first on the list is Mr. CHATHAM.

Q.-And what has he to do?

A.-He is now in charge of Extraordinary Public Works.

Q. What are they?

?

A.-Those at present in progress are-the Central Market, the Waterworks in Kowloon, the Pig and Sheep Depot and the Gaol Extension. He is also in charge of the preparation of the plan for the extension of Tytam Reservoir. Of course any extra- ordinary public works proposed are forwarded to me for report, and many of the details required are worked out by Mr. CHATHAM.

THE HONGKong goverNMENT GAZETTE, 25?H MAY, 1895.

Q.-And are you of opinion, seeing the state in which those works are, some of them being very far advanced, that the whole of Mr. CHATHAM's time is taken up with them ?

A.-Undoubtedly, because it is not only those works in progress, but the prepara- tion of plans of works to be carried out in the immediate future that require his attention.

Q. And what are they?

A.-Tytam Reservoir, Signal Station for Kowloon, Cattle Depot for Kowloon, New Government Offices.

Q.-Take the Central Market. What has he really to do now? What is his work

there?

A. He has to generally supervise the carrying out of that work, to constantly make periodical visits and see to any details which are required to be worked out for construction of the building. These are done by him or under his immediate supervision. Measurements have all to be made by him, and the monthly pay list and certificates for payments to the contractors are forwarded to me for signature, but he is responsible for their accuracy.

Q. How often does he go down there?

A.-It depends partly on the reports from the Assistant Engineer and overseers; but sometimes he has to go down two or three times a day, at other times he may only go down twice a week, but I should think that is an exceptional case.

Q.-Has he any one to help him, any Assistant Engineer?

A. He has Mr. GIBBS as Assistant Engineer, but he is mainly engaged in the supervision of the Kowloon Waterworks. Mr. GIBBS has also to help him in the measurements and preparation of details for the Sheep and Pig Depot, Central Market and Gaol Extension. Of course there are many matters that Mr. CHATHAM can leave to Mr. GIBBS more or less, and other matters which Mr. CHATHAM requires to go personally

into.

Q. What are the other officers Mr. CHATHAM has under him?

A.-Mr. FRASER engaged on the Central Market and Gaol Extension, and Mr. NICHOLS engaged on the Slaughter House and Sheep and Pig Depot, and Mr. Ross engaged on the Kowloon Waterworks, and then there are Chinese foremen also engaged on the Central Market, Kowloon Waterworks and Gaol Extension. The work in Kowloon is spread over a considerable area and every detail must be looked after to see that the work is properly done.

Q.-Next comes Mr. TOOKER. What has he to do?

A. He is practically in charge of the Annual Recurrent Works, Repairs to Buildings, etc. I may state, in connection with that, that there are now 107 Government buildings, exclusive of Gaol and Police Stations, in the Colony, for the maintenance of which the department is responsible. I have here a tabular statement shewing the number of public buildings exclusive of Gaol and Police Stations in periods of 5 years from 1878 to 1893 which I propose to put in. In 1878 there were 49 and now there are 107, and he has the maintenance of Telegraphs and Telephones which extend all over the Colony.

Q.-Government telegraphs?

A. Yes, and telephones to the lighthouses, police stations, and to the Harbour Offices. I have asked that the report on the introduction of the telephone system may be forwarded, and you will there find a description of what was proposed and what has practically been carried out. Mr. TOOKER has to do with the measurements of the areas occupied and the general arrangements for the laying out of the Public Cemetery, and the maintenance of the Praya Wall. In connection with the latter work there is not much required in the central portion of the City now on account of the Praya Reclamation, but the walls and piers in the Eastern and Western districts and at Shaukiwan and Aberdeen he attends to, also the lighthouses and the disinfector; the latter is a very small item the apparatus being now in the hands of the Sanitary Board, but we have to look after the repairs. Also the maintenance of roads and bridges in Victoria, out of Victoria, and Kowloon, the total length of which is now 100 miles. Also the gas lighting in the City of Victoria and Kowloon. The alteration and repairs to the lamps are effected by the Gas Company, but everything passes through the Public Works Department and has to be checked by a responsible officer. Mr. TOOKER is that officer and also performs similar duties in connection with the electric lighting of the City of Victoria. Mr. TOOKER also attends to the maintenance of the Public Recreation Ground. Also certifies the accounts in connection with the expenses of maintaining the Clock Tower. An annual sum is paid for lighting and winding the clock. There is not much work connected with that. In addition to the Annually Recurrent Works there are the

535

:.

586

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

Extraordinary Works at Kowloon, the extension of MacDonnell and Austin Roads and the construction of Des Voeux Road; the latter is being completed this year. He also has the duties devolving upon him under the Building Ordinance, the examination of plans as they come in and the issue of notices in case of building operations being carried on in contravention of the provisions of the Ordinance. Members no doubt are aware that there are many matters under the Building Ordinance that require permits, etc. from the Director of Public Works. Those are referred to Mr. ToOKER who has them made out and signs them for the Director of Public Works.

Q.-- What assistance has Mr. TOOKER in all that ?

A. He has two Assistant Engineers under him, Mr. HAZELAND and Mr. DRURY. Q.-Has he no principal overseer or foreman of work?

A.--He has several overseers. Mr. MOORE, the senior, is mainly in charge of buildings in the City of Victoria assisted by Mr. MEERS, then Mr. WILDEY is employed on the roads in the City of Victoria and Mr. MUGFORD on buildings, Mr. DOUGHERTY on roads and telegraphs and minor works, Mr. COYLE on buildings, Mr. HAYWOOD on buildings, Mr. NIMO on roads, Mr. BURGES in supervising works carried out under the Building Ordinance. Under the overseers are the foremen. At the cemetery there is Mr. THOMPSON assisted by two grave diggers and two gardeners. The grave diggers and gardeners are hardly chargeable to establishment as they are departmental labourers. The above are what Mr. TOOKER has under him.

Q.--You think there is sufficient work for all of them?

A.--Yes. In fact, I may state, I was asked to report on the minimum staff in 1892, putting on one side the question of Extraordinary Public Works. I then reported that I thought that the Annual Recurrent Works should be divided between Mr. TOOKER and Mr. CHATHAM, and with the staff I recommended, I thought they would be able to carry out what I call the ordinary Extraordinary Public Works, that is, buildings not involving a great deal of design and supervision. I may mention the Central Market, the proposed new Government Offices works and works of that kind I considered extra- ordinary Extraordinary Public Works and might require additional assistance when the time came. Now Mr. TOOKER has more to do than he really ought to, and Mr. CHATHAM, Owing to the Extraordinary Public Works, has quite as much as he can do, letting alone any assistance in the Annual Recurrent Works.

Q.-Mr. CHATHAM has a large staff under him?

A.-He has an Assistant Engineer, three overseers and three Chinese foremen, Q.-What are the new roads you are carrying out? A.

  The new roads are the extension of MacDonnell and Austin roads. You require an overseer practically all the time to see that the work is properly done. That work one overseer looks after, and also secs to the maintenance of some other roads in Kowloon as far as he can.

Q.-The maintenance of all roads would not take Mr. TOOKER personally much time? A:-No great deal of his time is taken up by roads in the City of Victoria, but as I have said in regard to the buildings he has to see that all is correct and pass the accounts. I cannot accept accounts from overseers. They must be certified by a responsible officer. On that point I would call the attention of the Committee to a report of the Commission appointed by Sir F. FLEMING which I have requested should be referred to you. Mr. TOOKER spends a lot of time looking over buildings. Some of the buildings are very old and extensive repairs are from time to time required. I ain certainly of opinion that it is well worth while to spend money on supervision and get good sound work rather than restrict the expenditure on supervision and spend a lot of money on repairs inefficiently carried out. As regards the buildings I should like to point out that the expenditure needed in 1878, when there were 49 buildings exclusive of Gaol and Police Stations, was $11,559.81. In 1883 with the 61 Government buildings it rose to $16,112. In 1888 with 68 buildings, $25,000. In 1891 with 102 buildings, $24,000. In 1892 with 106 buildings, $33,980. In 1893 with 107 buildings, $24,761, being $600 less with 107 buildings than it was with 68 buildings in 1888. I have got out a table shewing the cost of repairs to roads also under Mr. ToOKER. I have not any accurate information as to the extension of roads in the Colony between the above dates, but I have no doubt many members of the Committee here will know more of the extension than I do and they will have a better idea of what these figures show from their personal knowledge than from what I can represent to you. In 1878 the expenditure on the cost of repairs was $23,000. In 1883 it was $30,000. In 1888, $40,000. In 1891 $38,000. In 1892, $40,000. In 1893, $40,000. I would also call attention to the fact that previous to 1893 many of the overseers employed on works were not charged to the establishment as they are now, but direct to the cost of the work. I take these

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

figures as far as I can from the accounts of the department. In 1878, I find $5,503 was charged to votes for works. In 1883, $5,477. In 1884, $8,265. In 1891, $12,960. In 1892, $15,212. In 1893 nil.

Q.-Charge to what?

A.---To different votes for work. In drawing up the Estimates for 1893 every officer of work, drawing pay monthly on a certificate of the Director of Public Works, was placed down in the Estimates, votes for works being simply charged with actual cost of construction, cost of supervision being entirely excluded. Of course, this is an important matter in considering the Estimates of 1878 and comparing them with 1893, for you must bear in mind the very large addition which under the present system would be added to the establishment in that and other years. To give an instance. The total amount of salaries paid in 1892 was $89,000 as against $72,000 paid in 1893 shewing a difference of $17,000.

Q.-After Mr. TOOKER whom have you got?

A.-Mr. CROOK who is the next Executive Engineer in charge of the Drainage works and the Waterworks, construction and maintenance in both cases. He is also Sanitary Surveyor to the Sanitary Board. He has an assistant draftsman, Mr. Bamsey, who, I may say, was a pupil in the Water and Drainage Department, served his time as Engineer and has been appointed as draftsman. Besides actually doing draftsman's work he is also available for making measurements and completing details of plans. Mr. CROOK has also as overseers Mr. CARROL, Mr. Rose and Mr. MOLLISON. The last named is the principal overseer of waterworks in the City of Victoria. Mr. Rose has also charge of waterworks. Mr. SOLOMON is in charge of the Peak and Mr. CARROL has the supervision of the construction of the sewerage in the City of Victoria. Mr. MILLER has the inspection of services. Mr. LEWIS is caretaker at Tytam. Mr. SAMUEL is caretaker at Pokfulam. Mr. BowL SING is Overseer at Tytam filter beds and CHU AYIM holds a similar position at the Pokfulam filter beds.

Q. What is Mr. MINHINNET?

A. His services were exchanged for those of Mr. NICHOLS of the Praya Reclamation. Mr. MINHINNETT having had special experience in connection with sea work, I recom- mended that he should be put on the Praya Reclamation and in return Mr. NICHOLS, who was originally appointed for that work, took his place in the Public Works Depart- Mr. NICHOLS, as I have stated, is engaged under Mr. CHATHAM at the Sheep and Pig Depot at Kennedytown.

ment.

Q.--I suppose the sewerage work is not finished yet?

A. --No.

Q.-And the waterworks, are they finished?

A.-Most of the main laying is finished. Some additions have to be made from time to time, but there is the construction of house services on a request from house owners, and there is the connection with the mains and the maintenance of the works generally. The sewerage works are completed west of Garden Road and a considerable portion of the Eastern district is completed as far as gravitation work is concerned. It is proposed to intercept the gravitation sewers and ultimately to discharge the sewage of the City east of Garden Road near North Point. Plans and details of this work have to be prepared.

Q.-Then you have Mr. MALSCH ?

A.-Mr. MALSCH is Superintendent of Crown Lands. He has an Assistant Land Surveyor, Mr. PROSSER, a Land Bailiff, Mr. KING, clerk WONG LAI SING, tracer CHEONG Yow. I may mention that in my report for 1892 I suggested that on a vacancy occurring in this office it would be preferable to appoint a Land Survey Officer with that title and equalize to some extent the salaries of those two offices. Mr. MALSCH's duties are in connection with the issue of Crown Leases for Crown Lands and the occupation of Crown Lands generally. There are many applications from time to time from the Land Office, old leases requiring revision, and on a certificate of the Director of Public Works new leases are issued. Various particulars and re-adjustment of boundaries are required. Mr. MALSCH is also in charge of the work done by the Land Surveyor whose duties are to do the outdoor work, see that the boundaries' stones are fixed, and supply Mr. MALSCH with any information required for reporting on any matter connected with Crown Land that is referred to him. The Land Bailiff, Mr. KING, is in charge of squatters and looks after the occupation of Crown Lands other than those under Crown Leases, to see that there is no trespass. He also issues squatters' licences every year, of which there are a considerable number. WONG LAI SING, the clerk, prepares the squatters' licences. Details of leases of 1891, 1892, 1893 will be found in my annual reports for those years. The tracer, CHEONG Yow, makes tracings of various plans for the Land Office and for record in the Public Works Department.

587

588

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

-How many new leases do you issue in the course of a year? I mean land sold,

not rectified leases.

A.--In 1891 ten land sales took place and 8 extensions of existing lots.

Q.--Those are merely rectifications ?

A.--They are new issues. In 1890 plans for 18 new occupations were made. Q.--Have you the figures for 1891, 1892, 1893 ?

A.-They are all in my annual reports. The documents are all printed in the Sessional Paper

Q. Do you think that all the men you have enumerated are required? All these overseers?

A.-Yes,

A. Yes, some of them are overseers, some of them are foremen. There is no work that requires more detailed supervision to get it properly done than repairs to buildings. You require a man on the spot to see that the work is properly done.

Q.-Who is Mr. GALE?

A.-Chief draftsman.

Q.-Is all his time taken up?

A. Yes. His duties are to prepare and supervise drawings and tracings generally. I will show you the plans in connection with the Sheep and Pig Depot which will give you some idea of the contract drawings required for Public Works. It is a fair sample. He supervises and to a large extent prepares these drawings himself from the notes and sketches given by the Engineer. He sees to the preparation of tracings for the use of the Crown Agents, contractors and overseers, and is responsible for the accurate dimensions and figures contained in those tracings. He also prepares many little details required from time to time for reports that are called for by the Colonial Secretary.

Q.-Would you say he was hard-worked?

A.-I do not consider he has more work than he can fairly and reasonably be called upon to undertake and perform properly.

Q. How long does he work a day?

A. He comes at 10 and leaves at 4 as a rule. He has time for lunch. Q.-Where does he take his lunch?

A. At the Club.

(Plans shewing generally the nature of this class of work prepared in the various branches of the Department were here produced and inspected by members of the Committee.)

Hon. F. A. COOPER.-The expenditure in connection with the design and supervision of Extraordinary Public Works is 5 per cent. and Annual Recurrent Public Works 16.7 per cent.; 5 per cent. for the design and supervision of Extraordinary Public Works is a figure which, I think, is more than low. I know in England design and supervision of work cost a great deal more than that.

The CHAIRMAN.--You say that 5 per cent. is too low for Extraordinary Public Works. Don't you think 16 per cent. is too much for Annual Recurrent Works?

A.--Not including the cost of overseers. In England the engineers as a rule get 5 per cent. on the contract amount, and I know that from 7 to 12 per cent. is added for cost of supervision in special cases.

Q. What are the salaries of the overseers?

A.-Mr. MOORE gets $120 a month. Of course, he is a reliable man, and on a comparatively recent occasion, in sending home for an overseer, the salary was increased on account of not being able to get qualified men to come out. The case I refer to is that of Mr. WILDEY.

Q.-How much does he get?

A.-$1,416 a year.

Q.-You have Mr. MUGFORD at $113 a month?

A.-$1,380 a year.

Q.-Mr. EAGER gets $85 a month?

A. Yes.

Q.-Mr. HEYWood $60 ?

A. Yes. In England you pay from 30 shillings to £3.10 a week. I never got an overseer for less than 30 shillings a week.

Mr. COOPER requested to be allowed to direct the attention of the Committee to the letter dated 6th April written in reply to their circular. He said "That letter was "written by Mr. CHATHAM, Acting Director of Public Works, and purported to express my views. I regret, however, that owing to the somewhat rough draft that I left with "Mr. CHATHAM my views were not accurately understood and Mr. CHATHAM has since

my return requested permission to withdraw his letter.'

The Committee then adjourned.

SIR,

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE,

HONGKONG, March 12th, 1895.

In my examination before the Retrenchment Committee I was asked questions on several subjects not bearing on that particular branch of the Public Works Department with which, owing to my special duties, I am most intimately acquainted. I answered these questions to the best of my knowledge at the time, but I regret to state that on further enquiry I find my answers to be misleading and in some respect incomplete. I have therefore the honour to request to be allowed to withdraw such part as is mentioned below.

I make this request recognizing the importance of correct evidence only being taken into consideration in arriving at a decision in respect of the expenditure of the Department.

The evidence I wish withdrawn is from p. 159.

 Q.--I see in the Estimates that there is some £300 allowed to Mr. CHADWICK as "Consulting Engineer. What is that for? When do you consult him? Have you "consulted him this year?"

SIR,

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 5th instant transmit- ting a supplementary report of the Retrenchment Committee upon the staff of the Public Works Department and a copy of the evidence given by Mr. COOPER in connection there- with, and with reference to the latter I am to enquire whether the Committee have any remarks to offer as to the reduction of the salary of the Chinese draftsman, when opportunity offers, as suggested by the Director of Public Works.

I am further to request that a copy of the evidence, upon which the concluding paragraph of the report under acknowledgment is based, may be furnished for His Excellency's information.

I have the honour to be,

In reply to your letter No. 517 of the 18th March, I have the honour to inform you that the Retrenchment Committee agrees with Mr. COOPER'S views concerning the reduction of the salary of the Chinese draftsman when opportunity offers.

2. As regards the evidence upon which the concluding paragraph of the supple- inentary report on the Public Works Department was based, I have to report that no written evidence was recorded, and that the oral evidence of Mr. ACKROYD and Mr. JACKSON was that upon which the Committee founded its remarks.

3. Mr. ACKROYD made special reference to smells by Seymour Terrace and on the level of that block, whilst Mr. JACKSON drew attention to the odours arising from spots close to his residence, and has since the last meeting favoured me with a note which contained the following:-"as to wanting evidence for the concluding portion of the report, let anyone wishing to satisfy himself upon the point take a walk along Bonham "Strand. If he is not satisfied with the quality and quantity of the smells he will get, "he will be very hard to convince. I have recently taken several walks through the "town, east and west, and am sorry to say that in all my time here I have never "experienced such stenches."

Appendix A.

i

The following is a list of the Officers who have appeared before us in the course of our enquiry

The Colonial Surgeon.

The Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital.

The Superintendent of the Gaol.

The Assistant Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital.

The Secretary of the Sanitary Board.

The Health Officer.

The Medical Officer of the Gaol.

The Government Analyst.

Dr. CHUNG of the Alice Memorial Hospital.

Honourable Dr. Ho KAI, and the Matron of the Government Civil Hospital.

A copy of the evidence* given by them forms an appendix to the report which we beg to submit below for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor.

For facility of reference we have drawn up our report in the form of answers to the various questions submitted to us, and corresponding numerically thereto.

REPORT.

Question 1.-The present distribution of work and the hours of duty of each mem- ber of the medical staff. What re-arrangement of duties, if any, is desirable with a view to securing the more efficient working of the Department?

Answer. We are of opinion-

(a) That the work required of the medical staff-as at present distributed- falls to a certain extent on the Colonial Surgeon, and chiefly on the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, and that the time of those Officers is sufficiently occupied, more especially since the additional duty of daily inspecting the Tung Wa Hospital has been imposed on them.

(b) That the Medical Officer of the Gaol has not sufficient work, but that the present occupant of the post is not competent to assist at the Govern- ment Civil Hospital.

(c) That the duties of the Health Officer of the Port fully occupy the time

of one Officer.

In view of the above it appears to us that some re-arrangement of duties is desir- able with a view to distributing the work more equally among the Officers of the Department. At present, chiefly owing to the reason given in (b) above and to the fact that the services of the Health Officer of the Port owing to his being allowed private practice are not available for the general work of the Department in time of great pres- sure or emergency, serious inconvenience is likely to arise should the Colonial Surgeon or the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital or the Assistant Superintend- ent be incapacitated for duty by sickness. Further, under the existing arrangements, it is difficult to provide for leave due to Officers of the medical staff without outside assistance and this, we understand, is not readily available owing to the lapsing pay of the absent officer or officers being insufficient to induce doctors from ships, for instance, to place their services at the disposal of the Government. The result is that when either the Colonial Surgeon, the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital or the Assistant Superintendent takes leave, his share of the work must necessarily fall on the other two officers, the Health Officer of the Port and the Medical Officer of the Gaol for the reasons stated above not being available.

Being satisfied from the evidence before us that the present numerical strength of the medical staff, although not too large, is quite sufficient for the ordinary require- ments of the Colony, it remains to us to suggest such re-distribution of the duties as may, if not effectually overcome, at least considerably minimise, the disadvantages of the present system of administration in the department. In considering what re- arrangement is necessary for this purpose we have been guided by the following facts which have been brought to our notice:-

(1) That much of the Colonial Surgeon's time is occupied at present in at- tending subordinate officers of the Government and Police Officers and their families. Also that he is charged with the duty of inspecting the Tung Wa Hospital. This work we consider should not be ordin- arily performed by the Principal Medical Officer of the Government and we shall accordingly recommend the performance of these duties by a junior officer.

* Not printed here.

?

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

(2) That the Health Officer, although nominally under the control of the Colonial Surgeon, is not absolutely at his disposal in an emergency, owing to his being allowed private practice.

(3) That the services of the Medical Officer of the Gaol are not at present availed of when assistance is required in the Government Civil Hospital.

In view of the above facts, we beg to make the following recommendations for the re-constitution of the medical staff and a general re-distribution of the duties per- taining to them.

We consider that the title of Colonial Surgeon is a misnomer and should be abolished, and that in his place a Principal Medical Officer of the Government, whose duties should be both executive and administrative, should be appointed. Such officer should be the recognised head of the medical staff proper, but should, in our opinion, also perform the duties of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital in so far that he should superintend and be responsible for the satisfactory management of

that institution.

The Principal Medical Officer should have under his control and at his disposal the following staff:-

(a) Two Medical Officers who should ordinarily perform the duties of Assist- ants at the Government Civil Hospital. One of these, officers to be available for attending the subordinate officers of the Government and the Police.

(b) Health Officer of the Port. This officer would ordinarily not be avail- able for other duties, but in times of emergency should be at the entire disposal of the Principal Medical Officer and at all times under his orders.

(c) Medical Officer in Charge of the Gaol, whose duties should also include a daily inspection of the Tung Wa Hospital. This Officer should like- wise be at all times under the orders of the Principal Medical Officer, and liable, when called upon, to assist at the Government Civil Hospital or available for any service at the discretion of the Principal Medical Officer.

Under the above arrangement we consider that many of the disadvantages of the present system would disappear. The Principal Medical Officer would have under his control a sufficient staff for the ordinary requirements of the Colony, and in the event of an officer falling sick or taking leave it would be open to him to distribute the duties of such officer amongst the remainder of the staff (taking his own share) without undue strain on any individual officer.

In addition to and independently of the above proposed medical staff proper, we recommend strongly the appointment of a Medical Officer of Health for the Colony vis-a-vis the Medical Officer of Health for the Port; but, unlike the latter officer, entirely independent of the control of the Principal Medical Officer. The Health Officer for the Colony should, in our opinion, have no connection whatever with the medical staff proper. His position should be quite distinct. He should be the medical adviser of the Government on all sanitary matters through the Sanitary Board, to which he should be attached (not necessarily as a subordinate officer of the Board) and on which he should occupy a seat. He should however, in our opinion, be entitled to no vote, his duties on the Board being purely of an advisory nature, and it being obviously undesirable that he should enter into any discussion upon points on which he is called upon to advise.

We are not prepared to lay down definitely the specific duties that should be assigned to the proposed new officer; they must necessarily depend to a great extent on local conditions and circumstances, which are perhaps better known to the Government than to ourselves, but we consider that the duties performed by similar officers in some of our large towns at home should, mutatis mutandis, be assigned to the Health Officer for the Colony, and we append for the information of the Government a copy of the Appendix B. duties laid down by the Bradford Corporation for their Medical Officer of Health, * and Appendix C. an abstract of those performed by similar officers in the City of London,* which it may

be found desirable to adapt to local requirements.

With regard to the qualifications requisite for the proposed office, we are strongly of opinion that the selected candidate should possess a public health diploma in addition

*Not printed here.

595.

596

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

to his ordinary medical degree. He should, in short, be an expert in all matters affecting the public health.

Question 2.-Whether the existing staff is sufficient to meet the ordinary require- ments of the Colony, and what special arrangements, if any, should be made in case of emergency?

Answer. We have already dealt with the first part of this question and expressed our opinion that under the re-arrangement proposed above the numerical strength of the staff is sufficient for the ordinary requirements of the Colony.

With regard to the latter half of the question, we have also provided above for cases of moderate emergency in recommending that the services of all members of the medical staff proper should be available for other than their ordinary duties, when necessity arises, and that the Principal Medical Officer shall have the power of appor- tioning and allotting such special duties. In cases of great emergency we are unable to recommend any definite course of action, seeing that the proper steps to be taken on such occasions must necessarily depend on the circumstances and conditions and must be decided accordingly. We, however, venture to suggest that in the event of any grave emergency arising liberal inducement be offered to outside medical practitioners (local or otherwise) to place their services at the disposal of the Government, and that such temporary officers should be under the orders of the Principal Medical Officer in the same. way as members of the permanent staff.

Question 3.-Whether it is desirable that any member of the staff should be allowed private practice.

Answer. We consider that in no case should private practice be allowed to officers of the medical staff of the Government, and have based our proposals for the re-organisation of the staff on the understanding that this privilege, where it now exists, will be withdrawn, and that the services of the whole staff will be entirely at the disposal of the Government.

We, however, make the above recommendation conditionally upon medical officers of the Government being allowed, as hitherto, to be called in by private practitioners for the purpose of holding consultations, to which we see no objection whatever.

In connection with the question of private practice, it has been brought to our notice that ex-patients of the Government Civil Hospital often visit Hongkong from the Coast ports for the purpose of consulting the medical officers at the Hospital, who are well acquainted with their cases, having treated them during their periods of sickness. In such cases we are given to understand that unless these ex-patients re-enter the Hospital, the doctors are not allowed to tender advice or opinions, and it has been suggested that to this extent and strictly within these limits private practice should be allowed and the doctors authorised to see such patients and charge a fee therefor. We are not, however, prepared to endorse this latter suggestion, it appears to us that there is no objection to these ex-patients consulting, if they so desire, the medical officers of the Hospital or to a fee being charged for medical advice in these cases, but seeing that the medical service is provided by the Government, and that the doctors are consulted in such cases qua officers of the Government Civil Hospital and not qua private prac- titioners, we think that all fees so chargeable should be credited to the Government and not to its individual officers.

Question 4.To what extent the Chinese community avail themselves of the Civil Hospital, and what steps, if any, can be taken to make it more popular with the Chinese?

Answer.-From the evidence taken on this subject we are of opinion that, having regard to the accommodation provided, the strength of the medical and nursing staff &c., the advantages of the Hospital are fully availed of by the Chinese, and that the number of beds is at times hardly equal to the number of patients applying to be admit- ted. As regards the out-patients we learn that there are more applicants than, under the existing arrangements, can possibly be attended to, and that they have constantly to be sent away in consequence. It is anticipated that if the re-arrangement of the staff, which we have proposed above, is approved, the work of this branch of the Hospital will be more efficiently performed than at present, and will increase accord- ingly.

Question 5.-To what extent non-Government Hospitals have been visited and inspected in the past, and what improved arrangements, if any, should be made for the frequent and regular inspection of such institutions in the future?

Answer. We find that the only non-Government Hospital hitherto regularly inspected is the Tung Wa Hospital. We are of opinion that that institution should in

i

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

future be visited at least once daily, and have already provided for the performance of this duty by a member of the medical staff. As regards other non-Government Hospitals we consider that power should be taken (by law if necessary) providing for the periodical inspection by an officer of the Government of all hospitals in the Colony, public and private.

Question 6.-Whether the scheme suggested in the enclosed letter from the Acting Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital for the training of nurses locally is practicable, and, if so, whether it is desirable in the interests of economy and efficiency?

Answer.--We consider that the scheme referred to is practicable to this extent, viz., that the young women, whom it is proposed to train, should be trained on the understanding that they can qualify as "nurses" only and can never attain to the rank of "sisters" to whom they will and must always remain subordinate. We are of opinion they cannot be trained locally with a view to ultimately taking the place of the European sisters, and that, even if they could be, it would be obviously undesirable on the grounds of their nationality and origin to accord them such equality. Subject to the above limitations, we are prepared to recommend the scheme as a tentative measure and on the grounds of economy. We understand that in the future two of the sisters will be away on leave at the same time, and it is anticipated that with the assistance of the young women whom it is proposed to train, the remainder of the nursing staff will be able to carry on the work satisfactorily, and that the necessity of obtaining an extra sister from home to enable members of the nursing staff to take leave when it falls due, will thus be obviated. We are also prepared to recommend the scheme on independent grounds in the hope that, if it succeeds, the want of an outside nursing staff which would be available for private cases, would be gradually supplied. Whether or not the training of these young women will ultimately enable the Government to reduce the staff of European sisters, we are unable at present to say. It is possible, however, that if they prove to be capable nurses, the duties of the sisters may gradually become of a lighter and more supervisory nature, and in that event their number might eventually be reduced to what is necessary for the purpose of supervision, the "nurses" so-called. doing much of the work at present performed by the sisters. We are not however in a position to forecast events, and we therefore make no recommendation for the reduction of the European nursing staff unless circumstances justify such reduction.

We think that the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital should report upon the success (or otherwise) of the scheme herein referred to after twelve months, and that its continuance should depend upon the nature of that report.

Question 7(a).-How far the scheme for the establishment of dispensaries for the sale of European drugs at nominal prices to Chinese is practicable and desirable? Whether such establishments could be made self-supporting without sacrificing the object in view, and, if not, what extra cost would be involved thereby? Further, whether such institutions should be placed under Government control, or whether satisfactory arrangements could be made with the Chinese College of Medicine for their efficient working and management?

1

Answer. We approve of the above scheme and the object which it has in view, but hesitate to suggest its general adoption not being in a position to form an accurate esti- mate of the expenditure that would be involved thereby and of its relative utility. In view, however, of the fact that British Kowloon is without either a qualified private medical practitioner, or a dispensary for the sale of European drugs, we consider it highly desirable that the latter at least should be provided without delay, and beg to recommend accordingly the establishment of a dispensary in that locality with a Chinese practi- tioner qualified in Western medicine in charge but under the direct control and supervision of the Government.

We consider that a small charge should be made for drugs supplied to Chinese, this being the practice of the Medical Missions in China, and from the results shown by those societies we have every reason to anticipate that the dispensary would prove a financial success. The necessary checks, in view of the native character, should of course be exercised over the Chinese practitioner in charge, who should in our opinion be secured for a certain amount.

As regards the cost of the proposed dispensary, we understand that a sum of $1,500 a year would be sufficient to cover the expenditure for rent, drugs, and salary of the officer in charge, the latter to be fixed at $60 a month without private practice.

In addition to his duties in the dispensary, we consider that the Chinese dispenser should be required to make himself acquainted with and give early information of the existence of any epidemic disease, to enquire into the causes of suspicions deaths for the information of the Registrar General, and to act as public vaccinator for the district of Kowloon.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MAY, 1895.

If the experiment proves successful in Kowloon, we recommend the general extension of the scheme to other parts of the Colony, but would point out that the Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals would appear to meet the requirements of the native population in the districts in which they are located.

Question 7 (b).-In the event of a recurrence of the plague what medical arrange- ments should be made for the removal of patients from the Colony?

Answer.--We are of opinion that all persons, wishing to do so, should be allowed to leave the Colony subject to the following arrangements for and conditious of removal :--- (1) Patients to be removed at least 20 miles (as the crow flies) from the

Colony.

(2) Special junks, fitted up to the satisfaction of the medical authorities, to start at stated times from certain wharves, provided for the purpose in the Eastern and Western Districts.

(3) Such junks to proceed to a place more than 20 miles (as the crow flies) from the Colony under escort of at least one European before discharg- ing patients.

(4) Matsheds to be erected adjoining the wharves, for the temporary accom-

modation of the sick prior to their removal.

(5) One European Police officer and one medical officer, if possible, to be

on duty at each of the matsheds.

(6) Patients, wishing to be removed from the Colony, to report to the officer on duty at the matshed, who should arrange for their temporary accommodation and early removal in the manner prescribed above.

In this connection we would further suggest that dead bodies might also with advantage be removed from the Colony, provided that such removal is carried out speedily, and the limit of distance from the Colony is strictly adhered to.

Having now dealt with all the questions submitted to us for enquiry, we beg leave to add one or two suggestions which have occurred to us in connection with the subject under review.

It has come under our notice in the course of our enquiry that the present obser- vation ward at the Government Civil Hospital is wholly unsuitable for the purpose for which it is intended. Being a wooden structure, it is necessarily very inflammable in the dry season, and we learn that it has been more than once partially destroyed by fire. We would therefore respectfully subinit the great danger to which patients are exposed by being housed in a wooden building, and urge the early erection of a per- manent brick or stone structure, for which we are informed plans have already been prepared.

We would further beg to suggest that the Kennedy Town Police Station be per- manently reserved as a Hospital for the reception of infectious or contagious diseases, when the Hygeia is full or when it is undesirable to remove patients across the water. With these additional suggestions, which we trust will receive the favourable considera- tion of the Governor, we beg to conclude our report.

  The following Report of the Sanitary Superintendent for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 6th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th June, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

SANITARY BOARD ROOM, HONGKONG, 31st March, 1895.

GENTLEMEN, ---I have the honour to submit this the sixth Annual Report concerning the work done by the Sanitary Department during the

year 1894. DRAINAGE WORKS.

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 re- drained at the request of the Board. I append a tabular statement (A) showing-

1. The locality in which the houses so found to be insanitary are situated.

2. The number of houses so found in each such locality.

3. The houses so found for which plans for their re-drainage have been submitted.

4. The houses so found at which the work of re-drainage has been completed.

It is satisfactory to note that steady progress is being made in the re-drainage of Victoria. When the general inspection of all the house drains in the city, which began in December, is completed; and if the owners of such houses as are defectively drained are compelled to execute the work of re-draining their insanitary properties within a reasonable time, a much needed improvement in the sanitary condition of the town will be the result.

A considerable number of complaints regarding the choking of the new pipe drains continue to come in. In almost every instance the choking of the drain is caused by its inisuse through gross carelessness on the part of servants. Very frequently the gratings over the inlets to the waste-pipes and drains are either removed or so destroyed as to be of very little use in keeping solids of any size out of the drains. I am quite satisfied that in a number of cases the choking of the drains is done maliciously either out of spite to the landlord or to the Board. To some Chinese minds such malicious action seems to give infinite pleasure, while from their point of view it goes a long way to prove their silly contention that a water-tight house drain is not suited to their manner of living. With the old form of blue brick drain such blockage simply converted the drain into an elongated porous cess-pool from which the sewage soaked into the surrounding ground on which the dwelling stood. The evil results to the public health, which are almost certain to arise from such sewage polluted foundations, are well known and require no comment..

A few householders actually carefully seal the fresh air inlet to the house drains by fitting a piece of white iron under the gratings. However, when the Inspectors point out the folly of such action and explain the object of the inlet, in most cases the tin-plate is removed and is not again put on. MARKETS AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.

The fine new Slaughter-house at Kennedytown was ready for occupation at the end of the year, but it was deemed expedient to allow the contractor for 1894 to finish his contract in the old Slaughter- house and get the contractor for 1895 to begin in the new Slaughter-house; and this was done.

The new market for sheep and swine was practically completed by the end of the year, but it is not yet occupied. The completion of this market will enable the Board to abolish the very insanitary places in which sheep and swine have so long been housed for sale in the western district of Victoria. This will not only be a decided sanitary improvement but it will tend greatly to alleviate the cruel treatment to which both sheep and swine have been so long subjected while being kept for sale in those so-called sheep and swine pens.

The splendid new Central Market is approaching completion, and will soon be ready for occupation. 21 sheds capable of housing 699 head of cattle, 3 sheds capable of housing 137 head of goats, and 510 pens capable of housing 3,542 head of swine were duly licensed during the year. So far as the housing of cattle and goats is concerned things are in the main in a satisfactory state, but there is still a good deal of work to be done before the same can be said of the housing of swine although steady progress. is being made.

In February an outbreak of pleuro-pneumonia occurred among the herd of cattle at the Dairy Farm Company's premises Pok-fu-lam. It is a matter for congratulation that practical commonsense and scientific practice went hand in hand in dealing with this outbreak of disease, the result being a saving of a very considerable sum of money to the Colony.

  In April an outbreak of rinderpest occurred among cattle housed at Wantsai. Twenty-six animals were destroyed. The disease did not spread, the result, no doubt, of the prompt manner in which it was dealt with.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

The attached tabular statements (B) show:-

(a) The death-rate in 1894 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.

(e) The total number of deaths occurring among the British and Foreign community in each month of each year, 1889 to 1894, both inclusive, under six disease groups. These groups are the same as in (b) only 6 and 7 groups are amalgamate I.

(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.

(c) The rainfall for each month.

(d) The number of deaths registered during each month of the years 1889 to 1894, as also

the mean temperature and rainfall.

   The death-rates recorded are, I feel sure, less reliable than usual, simply on account of the large number of people who left the Colony temporarily during the prevalence of the disease designated Bubonic Plague. However, the figures given are the only ones available for statistical work of this kind, and I am of the opinion that the population of the Colony on the 31st December was pretty much the same as if we had never been afflicted with Bubonic Plague.

It is worth noting that in 1886 the total number of deaths recorded in the Colony was 5,100 amongst an estimated population of 181,700 or, in round figures, the death-rate for that year was 28 per 1,000, while in the exceptional year under review the total number of deaths recorded amount to` 7,362 amongst an estimated population of 242,400, or a death-rate of 30.3 per 1,000.

   With regard to death registration the remarks I made in my report for the year 1890 are applicable to the present time, for nothing has been done-I refer to appointment of native medical practitioners trained to some extent in Western medicine-beyond a medical inspection of the patients in the Tung Wa Hospital to ensure that the recorded cause of death is the real cause from which death occurred.

   The feature of paramount interest in these statistics is the large number of deaths recorded as caused by Bubonic Plague. As I was absent from the Colony during the prevalence of this disease it is not, in my opinion, expedient that I should do more than briefly refer to one or two points that seem to me will be of some value to Members of the Board. The disease appears, in at least one respect, to resemble typhus fever in so much as the great majority of its victims were observed to be amongst a poverty-stricken people who were poorly fed, badly housed, and who lived in overcrowded houses and overcrowded areas. The localities in Victoria where the disease was most prevalent were mainly occupied by people to which the foregoing description is fairly applicable.

   In 1887 when the Public Health Bill was under the consideration of the Legislature it was my duty to represent the conditions under which the mass of the people in the Colony lived. These representations were sharply called in question, and the Officer Administering the Government-Sir WILLIAM GORDON CAMERON-thought it desirable to personally investigate the matter. This he did in a very thorough manner by a careful inspection of the worst dwellings in the Chung Wan, Tai- ping-shan and Sai-ying-poon districts of the city, and his subsequent speeches in Council show very clearly what his opinions were. Had the Public Health Bill of 1887 been passed in the form in which it was transmitted to the Colonial Secretary by the Sanitary Board, and had the sanitary staff received reasonable support in enforcing its provisions, I am satisfied that the heavy mortality from Bubonic Plague in 1894 would not have occurred. The most powerful opponents of the Bill belonged to those classes who have suffered most, financially, from the serious outbreak of Bubonic Plague, and I must confess I consider their action in 1887 has met in 1894 with the result it deserved.

   I again consider it desirable to repeat the remark that in considering these statistics it is necessary to keep in view the circumstance that our population is not a normal one, but a population in which the male sex in the prime of life largely predominates.

HEALTH DISTRICTS.

   Cemeteries.-The bye-laws which came into force on the 1st January, 1892, have been enforced without any hitch of importance, but inconvenience has been experienced owing to the circumstance that

:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

627

the cemeteries have not yet been properly laid out. If this work can only be undertaken by the Assistant Surveyor as soon as he has completed the work he is now engaged on, it will help to put matters on a thoroughly satisfactory footing.

  The following are the number of interments which have been made in cach of the Public Cemeteries for Chinese, viz. :-

The fees collected during the year amounted to $1,753.90 and the cost of the staff, laying out roads, &c. to $1,775.03.

Laundries.-Only three of the ten public laundries have been let during the year although the rental is as low as $10 a month. That there is a strong artificial opposition to the using of these buildings by the public washermen is to me clear enough, but beyond the natural obstinacy of Chinese workmen I know of no reason for the opposition. It is quite true that these public washermen receive the tacit support of many of their employers in their obstinate opposition. It is difficult to under- stand why the vast majority of our leading residents of all nationalities should prefer to have their linen washed in an evil-smelling puddle on the hill-side and dressed in the living room of their washermen's servants, who live amongst and sleep upon their clients' linen, rather than in the public laundries. However, so long as such a very peculiar preference exists it is very doubtful if much can be done to improve this branch of the sanitation of the Colony.

Bakeries. The bye-laws regulating bake-houses are being steadily and persistently enforced: Common Lodging-houses.-The bye-laws for regulating these houses did not come into force during 1894.

Infectious Diseases.-2,552 deaths were recorded from bubonic plague and 25 from small-pox and choleraic complaints.

G

Contracts. The work of the conservancy contract continues to be carried out in a satisfactory manner. It must be remembered that the conservancy contractor has nothing whatever to do with the private night-soil carriers who are the employees of the various householders.

The work of the scavenging contract, as far as street cleansing, the dust-cart service, and the removal of the refuse from Victoria are concerned, has been carried out in a fairly satisfactory manner, but I regret to say that the work of final disposal has been giving a good deal of trouble. The main difficulty is that the place of disposal is outside the boundaries of the Colony and, of course, no action would lie in our Courts for creating a nuisance there. It is true the condition of the contract gives me the power to hire men to do such work as the contractor fails to perform satisfactorily under his contract, and it is this clause of the contract which has enabled me to keep things in some kind of order at the place at which the city refuse is finally disposed of. The work of conservancy and scavenging in the various villages continues to be carried out in a satisfactory manner. The estimated quantity of night-soil removed by the conservancy contractors from Victoria, Hill and Kaulung districts during 1894 amounted to 14,000 tons, and the whole of this was removed from the Colony.

Owing to various causes the approximate quantity of house refuse, trade refuse, street sweepings, &c. removed by the scavenging contractors from Victoria, Hill and Kaulung districts cannot be given for 1894.

The annexed table (C) gives the names of the various contractors who are working under the Board together with the number of men each employs to carry on the work of his contract.

STAFF.

Owing to prolonged ill-health the Superintendent was absent on leave from 1st January to 31st October during which period the duties of the office were efficiently performed by Mr. E. A. RAM. None of the Sanitary Inspectors had any leave of absence during the year, but two of them were ill and in Hospital for several weeks.

A large increase to the staff of Inspectors was sanctioned towards the close of the year, and the new men were appointed but they did not take up their appointments in 1894. The staff of Inspectors is now, so far as the number to the total population is concerned, equal to that employed in those large towns in England where municipal sanitary administration is viewed as being most advanced. In England, it is now almost the invariable rule that before a man receives an appointment as Sanitary Inspector he must have passed the examinations of the Sanitary Institute. In Hongkong men with such a training are not to be had, and I have very grave doubts if it would be a wise proceeding to get such trained men from home as vacancies occur, inasmuch as their utter want of knowledge of the Chinese people and their habits and customs would, to my mind, more than counterbalance their superior training in sanitary matters.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

There is nothing calling for remark with regard to the other members of the sanitary staff. Pressure of work has prevented me from presenting this report at an earlier date, and even although late it has had to be prepared somewhat hurriedly, so that it is not so complete as I should have wished.

I have the honour to be,

  The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 6th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th June, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

:

No. 19.

BOTANIC GARDENS, HONGKONG, 27th May, 1895.

  SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the work and condition of this depart- ment for the year 1894.

GENERAL.

  2. The year under review was distinguished by a series of adverse events which imposed an almost continuous strain on the resources of the department to contend with the difficulties which arose in maintaining, with as little injury as possible, the various charges with which it is entrusted; but, in spite of all the strenuous efforts which were exerted, and which were successful to a great extent, con- siderable, but unavoidable, damages were sustained both in the Gardens and Plantations of the Colony. The events to which I allude were-(i) drought in the early part of the year, (ii) the plague of caterpillars in May and June, and (iii) a series of typhoons in September and October.

  3. The suppression of the caterpillar plague occupied the almost undivided attention of the whole staff-except the Gardens' men, and many of these were also employed-for a period of two months, so that ordinary work had to be almost suspended during that time. For part of the time an additional clerk was lent from the Colonial Secretary's Office to assist in keeping accounts connected with the destruction of caterpillars.

  4. Five typhoons visited the Colony within 28 days in September and October; they occurred on · September 10th, 18th, 24th and 29th, and October 6th, respectively.

STAFF.

5. The Superintendent was absent on vacation leave from June 13th to September 28th.

  6. The health of the native portion of the staff was good, and, fortunately, all escaped attack by the bubonic plague which raged for so many months.

REVENUE.

7. The total receipts of the Department are given in appendix A.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

DROUGHT.

  8. During the first three months of the year only 2.46 inches of rain fell in the Gardens, and from April 1st to May 6th there were only 3.03 inches. The usual water supply to the Gardens was so suddenly diminished, and to such an extent, that plants in pots were exposed to great danger of being lost, and they were only saved by prompt arrangements which I made for obtaining water by carrying it from two trickling streams, which were temporarily dammed, outside the Gardens. An additional small supply was obtained by re-opening a well, within the Gardens, which had been closed for many years. The scanty supply procured was only enough for the plants which were in greatest need. more ample supply in dry seasons is much needed for both plants and lawns. The only lawns which can be irrigated, even when water is turned on continually, are those surrounding the flower beds, all the grass turf in other parts becomes as brown as hay throughout the dry season.

TYPHOONS.

A

  9. On the approach of all typhoons extensive and troublesome preparations are always made to secure plants and property against damages as far as possible; the preparations for the 1894 typhoons were in all cases effectual so far as they went, but the October typhoon was of such violence as to place many things out of the bounds of practicable protection, and very great destruction and damage to large trees and shrubs inevitably occurred. Immunity from destructive storms for many years past had allowed the general effect of the Gardens to reach a state of great beauty, which, however, the last storm wrecked in a cruel manner, and it will be many years, under the most favourable circumstances, before the Gardens can recover the beauty which was so greatly marred.

1:

658

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

10. The clearing away of debris, and preparations for replanting, &c., occupied all available time up to the end of 1894, and well into the present year.

GLASS HOUses.

11. During a portion of the cold season the temperature falls so low that many tender plants which have to be kept, or housed, during the coldest weather, in glass houses suffer from cold. This has been remedied to a slight extent by the use of kerosene stoves, which, however, besides being troublesome and giving off an offensive smell, afford insufficient heat, and, I fear that fumes proceeding from the stoves are injurious to plant life. I had funnels, with tubes attached, placed over the stoves, and the tubes carried through the roofs of the houses, and so arranged that injurious fumes were carried off without their coming into contact with the plants, but also that the heat was retained almost completely within the houses. The heat obtainable by this means is, however, insufficient.

12. All the glass houses should now be provided with hot-water apparatus which could be heated from one modern improved boiler. The apparatus could be provided at a very moderate cost and the consumption of fuel would be very small for the short time during which artificial heat is essential.

ORCHIDS.

13. A very fair amount of success has been achieved in the cultivation of orchids, this success is sufficiently proved to encourage the continuation of efforts to cultivate and extend the collections. Some orchids can be grown well in open, shaded houses, but many of them at certain periods would be better in glass houses, while another class of orchids-those from hotter regions-should be always under glass. Glass houses are not only needed to provide a higher temperature for part of the year but also to protect the plants from storms of wind and rain. A suitable glass house could be erected in the nursery at a small cost, and it could be heated from the same boiler which I have alluded: to above in my proposition for heating the other houses.

14. In appendix B I give a list of orchids which are now in cultivation here, and most of which are succeeding very well. The list is inserted not because it represents unusual extensiveness or excellence of kinds-although there are very many good kinds in the list-but to show what encourage- ment there is for the application of continued efforts in the cultivation and extension of this interesting, beautiful and fashionable class of plants. Those kinds marked with an asterisk have flowered in the Gardens.

LAWN CATERPILLAR. (Thialleta signifera, Walk.)

15. This caterpillar has given the usual trouble to circumvent its action in the destruction of lawns. It seems impossible to stamp it out, but the remedy--Jeyes' fluid, diluted-previously reported, is the best thing yet discovered to keep it in check.

The Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station last year published an elaborate bulletin by Mr. E. P. FELT on "Grass-Eating Insects" of the genus Crambus, but amongst the remedies there given there is nothing which is as effective for the Thialleta as that which has been adopted here..

EXCHANGE OF Land.

16. When the New Gardens were being formed in 1871 an old, open nullah was built over and covered with soil. It was afterwards discovered that this nullah was a boundary of the "Glenealy " property, and that by the filling up of the nullah and laying out of the new land as a portion of the Gardens an encroachment had been made by the Government on the "Glenealy" property. This pro-

perty subsequently changed hands and the new Roman Catholic Cathedral was then built on it. Last year

the Cathedral authorities required an extension of land and proposed that it should be given them in exchange for the 1871 encroachment, to which the Government acceded. This arrangement readjusts the boundary line of the Gardens to the mutual satisfaction of both parties and gives a well-defined line.

DISTRIBUTION AND INTERCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.

   17. The receipts were 1,238 plants and 116 lbs. of seeds in 277 packages and 4 wardian cases. The chief donors were-

PLANT SALES.

   19. In 1893 the receipts for plants sold were abnormally large, and in 1894 they did not reach the same high figure. The receipts amounted to $501.76 for 2,338 plants which were sold. The orders received were 326, about half the number being cash transactions. It will be remembered that the Government make no profit on these sales, which are for the benefit of the purchasers only.

   20. It seems incomprehensible why many purchasers will not apply usual business habits when sending orders for plants, paying accounts, &c.; but, on the contrary, will so frequently send com- munications addressed to me personally, the result being in case of my absence, which is naturally frequent, that inconvenience and unnecessary work is given to themselves and us, as that portion of the staff whose duty it is to attend to sales are unable to open covers addressed to me personally, instead of their being, as they should be, so addressed that any one in the office can open them and attend at once to the business.

LOAN OF PLANTS FOR DECORATION.

21. The loan of plants is almost confined to the winter months. At the commencement of the last season a new regulation came into force which required payment being made for the use of the plants. This, no doubt, operated in causing a diminution of the quantity of plants applied for, although the charge made is only 5 cents per plant, calculated to just cover the cost of growing them. The number of plants lent was 3,210, being 877 less than in the previous year; of the 3,210 lent, 2,276 were lent before the new regulation in regard to payment came into force. $47.40 was received for plants lent on hire.

22. The records are given in appendix C.

RAINFALL.

HERBARIUM AND LIBRARY.

23. The unusual circumstances which I referred to in paragraph 2, and my absence on vacation leave, left but very little time for herbarium work beyond preserving the contents of the herbarium in good condition.

660

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

  24. The Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, presented a collection of about 200 dried specimens of plants, chiefly Chinese.

  25. Dr. AUGUSTINE HENRY also sent collections amounting to 767 specimens which he had collected in South Formosa during his residence there.

  26. Specimens were also received from Dr. GEORGE KING, F.R.S., &c., Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta ; and from the Rev. Father BODINIER, of Hongkong plants, many of which were found last year by Father BODINIER for the first time in Hongkong.

  Father BODINIER has in his botanical researches made constant use of the herbarium and library throughout the year, and he has expressed his high appreciation of their usefulness to him in his studies.

  27. The following is the list of books, journals, reports, &c., received :- Agricultural Journal of the Leeward Island, 1894.

FORESTRY.

661

  29. Ordinary work was accomplished in spite of, and in addition to, the very large amount of work which was thrown on the department by the plague of caterpillars at the beginning of summer, and the typhoons at its end, but during the periods of those calamitous events regular operations were temporarily suspended.

PLANTING.

  30. The number of trees planted was smaller than in most previous years; this is accounted for chiefly by the gradual reduction of expenses which has been introduced now that available and suitable planting lands have been to a great extent filled up, and by the contractor having failed to produce the stipulated quantity of trees in consequence of losses in the nurseries which were sustained owing to much of the land having been flooded by storm water.

  31. In the contract for rearing trees for planting in 1893 I had provided for a large number of Cunninghamia sinensis in place of a corresponding value of the ordinary pine. The contractor suc- ceeded in supplying 20,000 good trees of this kind, and they were planted and have done well so far. I purpose, as far as possible, to substitute this tree for the common pine in all future work.

  32. Upwards of 1,000 trees of Liquedamber formosana were also planted, and they made excellent progress. I intended to use this tree more extensively, but there is some difficulty in obtaining sufficient seeds; for those which have been obtained I am indebted to Mr. F, S. A. BOURNE, H. M. Vice-Consul at Canton, A further supply of seeds was obtained in December, but, unfortunately, very few matured on the trees last year, consequently, instead of the large number of trees which I expected to have very few were obtained for planting in 1895.

33. Special attention was also given to Bischoffia javanica, an indigenous tree, about 600 having been planted.

34. The timber of Liquedamber is valuable for making tea-chests as no odour is given off which would taint the tea. The wood of Bischoffia is in request by local boat-builders, being valuable for junks' and boats' knees. Whether marketable timber can be produced in Hongkong in any quantity requires time to prove. In favoured situations, however, it is certain that good timber can be grown. One tree which was blown down by a typhoon sold for $5 where it laid.

35. The required supply of Cunninghamia seed failed last year, the reason which the contractor alleged for the failure being that the typhoons had destroyed the cones before the seeds were ripe. As the seeds have hitherto been obtained from distant parts of the Kwangtung province I had no means of verifying his statement.

36. The usual planting statistics are given in appendix D.

FLOWERING OF BAMBOOs.

37. One species of bamboo (Bambusa Tulda, Roxb.) flowered more profusely and generally in Hongkong and Kowloon than in any previous year of my experience. It seeded, also, sparingly in some cases, but in most instances few or no seeds were ripened.

DESTRUCTION OF TREE-FERNS.

38. During the early period when the bubonic plague was prevalent the plants on the hills of a native tree-fern (Brainea insignis, Hook) were exposed to the risk of extermination by coolies who daily went to the hills to obtain supplies of the stems for medicine for the use of plague patients. I was informed that a decoction of the stems was made and used as a cooling beverage.

THINNING OF PLANTATIONS, &C., AND SALE OF FORESTRY PRODUCTS.

39. The thinning of plantations has kept pace with the requirements of the standing trees. The wumber of trees removed was 31,415 as against 31,643 of the previous year. Of this number there nere over a few hundreds of large old trees which were blown down by the October typhoon.

   40. The revenue from forestry products was $770.22, an increase of nearly $200 on that of the year 1893.

Statistics are given in appendix E.

PROTECTIVE SERVICE.

41. By the agency of the Forest Guards 106 cases of offences in the nature of damages to or des- truction of trees were dealt with by the Magistrates; 94 convictions were obtained. Fines amounting to $145 were paid by 36 convicted persons. The highest fine was $25, and the lowest $1.

   42. The number of trees surreptitiously cut down, of which it has been possible to obtain records, was 606, not a large number when it is compared with the quantity of trees under conservation, but it is a slight increase over those of the previous year.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

JUNGLE FIRES.

   43. The fires were only 36, not much over half the number of those in 1893, but the damages which resulted from them were six times as great as in that year.

   44. The neighbourhood of Aberdeen was distinguished by the greatest number and destructiveness of fires, two only of which were responsible for the destruction of 21,000 trees.

   45. Tytam Tuk was the next locality on the list of destructive fires, four occurred in one day; they were caused by shells (?) fired from field-guns by the Volunteers while they were practising on January 3rd.

About 3,000 well-grown trees were destroyed by these fires in what was one of the prettiest pieces of woodland scenery in the island. It will be many years, unfortunately, before the places can be restored to their former beauty. Similar practice should never be repeated during the dry season in any locality where there will be any danger of conflagrations.

46. The spring and autumn Chinese ancestral worship at tombs was well guarded as usual by a large body of men being posted all over the island to subdue any fires which might arise, and in consequence of these precautions but little damage was done.

The posting of notices cautioning worshippers to be careful in the use of fire has had a very good effect in educating the people, who seem willing to exercise care as requested..

47. The total number of trees destroyed by fire was 26,886.

TYPHOONS.

   48. The trees of the Colony since the September typhoon of 1874 have never suffered so severely as they did from the typhoon in October of 1894.

49. On the morning of October 7th many of the streets and roads were blocked by fallen trees of small and large dimensions. Trees which had withstood the storms of 44 years were prostrated. No less than 76 trees were thus destroyed. The forestry staff, assisted by a large number of coolies, was distributed and set to work to clear the roads sufficiently for traffic, and before night no road was left entirely blocked. The entire removal of the fallen trees occupied several weeks.

For the work of clearing streets and roads I was fortunately able to obtain at once, by special arrangement, the services of 40 trained wood-cutters from the contractor who had the annual contract for thinning plantations.

   50. The trees on the hills east and west of the Happy Valley suffered very severely when the wind swept down from the gap to the south of Wongneichung village. Pine trees of all sizes up to 43 years old and 6 feet in circumference of stem were strewed over the ground in all directions, especially on the eastern hill, but most of the largest ones came down in consequence of having had their large roots cut when excavations were made to obtain soil for filling in the ground within the Race Course a few years ago. The loss of these fine trees is very regrettable, especially as the loss might have been avoided if soil had been obtained from some place, which was possible, where no trees of such value need have been sacrificed.

   51. Branches of Araucaria Cunninghamii were found at the Kowloon Docks, and as there are no trees at Kowloon from which these could have been deposited at the docks there is circumstantial proof that they were wrenched off large trees which were destroyed by the typhoon at East Point and carried by the wind, when the full force of the typhoon was blowing, across the harbour, a distance of just 2 miles.

.-

   52. Young pine trees on the hills all over the island, on Applichau island and in Kowloon were bent over when the soil was saturated with the storm rain, and they were unable to recover their upright positions when the storm had passed. As soon as the clearing of the roads was completed a large staff of men was employed up to December 27th in placing and securing these trees in an upright position again. About 200,000 trees were thus set up at a cost of close on $300 for wages. Trees which had been planted upwards of six years suffered very little except in some places where the force of the wind was concentrated, as in gaps between two hills and on exposed breasts of hills, in which places leaves were almost destroyed.

53. This was the first really serious typhoon which had visited the Colony since the afforestation of the island had commenced. It was predicted by some that violent storms would undo all our work in re-clothing the hills. The result of the trial which the trees went through in 1894 is sufficiently convincing that the theory which was entertained by those people was unsound. Some damage is inevitable, here as in all countries, from the effects of storms, and must always be allowed for.

PLAGUE OF CATERPILLARS.

(EUTRICHA PUNCTATA, WALK.)

*

54. A report on this plague has already been furnished to the Government by my Assistant, Mr. TUTCHER. It is therefore necessary now only to supplement that report, which was called for by His Excellency the Governor, during my absence from the Colony, shortly before the measures which I organized for the extirpation of the pest had been successfully terminated.

*In he Kew Bulletin for November 1894 where the Hongkong Caterpillar Plague is referred to, the moth is referred to as Metanastria punctata, Walk. I presume that the generic name Metanastria has been adopted instead of Eutricha, which was given to me by Dr. GUNTHER, Keeper of the Department of Zoology of the South Kensington Museum, when specimens which I sent to him were identified.

The Bulletin also states that the species is apparently not known out of South China, but is not remote, according to Mr. W. F. H. BLANDFORD, F.E.S., from the European Gastropacha pini.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

663

55. In the beginning of March I observed the caterpillar of this moth on trees at North Point, but it existed only in very small numbers on a few trees. I kept it under very careful observation and found towards the end of April that it had appeared in many other localities, but there did not then seem any reason to suppose that it was necessary to adopt more special means for its destruction than in the previous two years. However, in May its extremely rapid increase in numbers and in size demonstrated an unusual visitation, and on May 15th I reported to the Government its presence and advised that immediate steps should be taken to destroy it. My recommendations met with His Excellency the Governor's approval, and I was at once provided with all the means and assistance which I had represented was necessary to carry out the work, and a careful organization was quickly completed.

56. The work to be accomplished was so extensive that it was necessary to secure auxilliary aid. This, fortunately, existed at the various police stations throughout the island and in Kowloon, and this assistance was, on application, placed at once at my disposal, with the sanction of the Government, by Mr. MAY, Captain Superintendent of Police.

57. The first steps taken were to employ a portion of the permanent staff of the department to collect caterpillars, in order to ascertain what would be a fair price to offer for them and then to communicate the information to the labouring classes in the town and villages that all who were inclined for the work would be employed to collect caterpillars.

58. Instructions were sent to the officers in charge of certain police stations to receive and pay for, by weight, all caterpillars which might be brought in, at the same time printed notices in Chinese offering payment for caterpillars were posted all over the Colony. Funds for disbursement on account of the work were advanced to the West Point, Pokfulam, Aberdeen, Shaukiwan and No. 2 Police Stations in Hongkong, and to those of Yaumati and Hunghom in Kowloon.

59. Operations commenced on May 24th, and on the 25th all the receiving stations were actively employed. In a short time there seemed no limit to the number of workers who could be obtained, whole families going to the hills to collect. At the busiest time there were probably over 1,000 people employed, and so great was the quantity of caterpillars brought in that the work of weighing them and paying away money, which was done daily, became a very severe task, occupying the greater portions of the afternoons. As the caterpillars increased in size, and therefore became easier to collect, the price offered was gradually reduced, and it was in like manner increased again in proportion to the work of collecting as the caterpillars became scarcer.

60. About the 12th of June nearly all the caterpillars had been collected, and as cocoons were forming the work of collecting them was then commenced and it was practically completed by the middle of July.

In

61. Communications were maintained daily by telephone or writing between the Gardens and the police stations, instructions being issued as required, and reports being sent in daily from the police stations, so that the Superintendent was in constant touch with all the work which was going on. addition, the Superintendent made visits of inspection as frequently as his absence from head quarters could be spared. The Head Forester and one Clerk were employed almost daily. for two months in conveying supplies of money to the stations, 95 advances having been made in this manner.

62. The Government was kept constantly informed of the progress of the work.

63. Mr. TUTCHER rendered efficient and willing service in assisting to carry out the arrangements which were planned for the extirpation of the plague, and in supervising the completion of the work which remained to be done, (chiefly the collection of cocoons) at the time when the Superintendent was satisfied that the work was so nearly complete that he could go on vacation leave, which he had post- poned while his presence was required to conduct the work.

64. Statistics of the work were carefully kept, and these enabled Mr. TUTCHER, together with useful observations which he had made when inspecting plantations, to draw up the report which he submitted on the 10th of July.

65. This year the caterpillar re-appeared in April, but not in greater numbers than half a dozen coolies, who are still daily employed, have been able to destroy as fast as discovered. In the discovery of caterpillars the Forest Guards are employed to inspect trees, and to report daily, while they are engaged in their ordinary work.

66. The caterpillars were in myriads on nearly all the pine trees of the Colony, but they were much more numerous in certain places; these were Aberdeen New Road, Deep Water Bay, Causeway Bay, Quarry Bay, and Mt. Parker in Hongkong, and near Yaumati in Kowloon. The trees in those places were almost entirely denuded of their leaves. Many trees, which had been thus denuded and which were growing on unusually barren and dry soil, eventually died, but other trees made new, but weak, growth when the rains arrived; now, all are making new shoots of increased vigour, which promise complete recovery from the attack.

67. After the work of collecting had been in operation some time, and the trees were getting cleared I took the precaution of posting men along the boundary which divides British Kowloon from Chinese territory in order to intercept people who might be tempted to bring in caterpillars from China

  payment at our stations. This was found to be a necessary precaution, as, in a few days, what was expected took place, and many people were turned back who were in possession of loads of cater- pillars.

   68. The exact quantity of caterpillars collected was 60,579 catties (36 tons 1 cwt. 0 qr. 20lbs.) and of cocoons 5,617 catties (3 tons 6 ewt. 3 qrs. 13lbs.) and the total cost of the work, exclusive of wages of members of the permanent staff who were employed, was $4,889.95.

   69. Appendix F gives the quantity of caterpillars and cocoons received at each receiving station, and appendix G the daily expenditure from beginning to end. These will give an idea of the work performed in regard to its distribution and daily quantity.

70. I again express my appreciation of the value of the services of those police officers who gave such willing assistance, which was at a time when several of them were also engaged in special work in connection with the bubonic plague. The names of those police officers I had the honour to submit to the Government in letter No. 43 of the 10th September, 1894, when I specially brought their services to the notice of the Government.

71. Although there is no known record of such devastation committed elsewhere by the caterpillar which infested this Colony last year, it will be interesting to state here that terrible injury to trees has been wrought in other countries by other species, notably the Gipsy Moth in the United States, where in Massachusets, I am informed, $350,000 have been spent in attempts to exterminate it.

   72. The Kew Bulletin for 1890, also, contained an account of a Forest Plague in Bavaria. The following extracts will be of interest. The documents in which they were contained were a despatch and enclosures from Mr. VICTOR DRUMMOND, at Munich, to the Foreign Office, which were sent by the Foreign Office to Kew Gardens.

"Mr. Drummond to Foreign Office.

"A very serious pest of the insects known as Liparis Monacha or "Nuns" has lately been causing great destruction to the Pine and Fir Forests in certain districts of Bavaria. This serious calamity to the kingdom had its first germs two years ago, when the Government, according to a statement made by the Upper Bavarian Agricultural Association, took measures to prevent it spreading. On the other hand, if public opinion is correct, the foresters, instead of carrying out hand and eye work in the forests, did not visit them as often as it was their duty to do. In any case the fact remains that the forest administration has been defeated by the "Nuns," and although everything is being done to extirpate them by killing thousands daily, it is now reckoned that Nature alone, winter frosts," can rid the forests of the pest.

66

   "It is calculated that the loss to the revenue from woods and forests for the nex tfinancial year will amount to 800,000 marks (40,000 L.), and it is even feared that the amount may be larger, as where forests are injured by any special cause the "Bark beetle" follows and attacks the diseased wood; this will probably result next year.

"The enclosed translations of extracts taken from the "Munchener Neueste Nachrichten" show the extent of the calamity, and give a chronicle of the destruction caused by the "Nonne" and other insects since the year 1449.

"Note from the Bavarian Forest Administration (Finance Department) on the "Nonne.

"The Forest Department of the Ministry of Finance state that the "Nonne" plague is now extended over nearly all Bavaria south of the Danube in scattered tracts. The infested districts are estimated at about 10,000 hectares. The fertility of the insect is great, and its numbers so enormous, that the Forest Department fear that no measures of destruction are of any avail. "We stand powerless before

the immensity of the pest." The insect attacks chiefly the pine and fir with which Bavarian forests abound, but in default of these it does not despise the beech, oak, and other forest trees, and is even known to feed on shrubs and garden plants. It never attacks corn or wheat, and, curious to say, there is one tree it will not touch, viz., the horse chestnut.

   "The means of destruction are various. Forest bonfires of worthless wood form an easy means within reach of all communes, &c. The insects are attracted by the fire and are smothered in the smoke, but only a comparatively small number are killed. Children and boys are also sent out to destroy the insects. From September to April, similarly, the eggs can be found in the bark and destroyed, and in April the very young caterpillars can be more easily killed. All these, however, are mere partial measures. The only efficient general measure seems to be the cutting down of whole forests when much infected, in which case the remedy is almost worse than the disease. One other method is used by the State, but not within reach of communes, therefore not described in the official pamphlet. A large electric light is placed in the forest by night and attracts thousands and hundreds of thousands of "nonnen" to the mouth of a large funnel through which a rapid exhaust current of air is forced, sucking in the insects by thousands into a hole under the earth where they are buried. Even this is only a partial measure, for in a forest containing perhaps a hundred millions of "nonnen" it is not much to destroy 200,000 or 300,000.

  "Translation of an Article in the "Munchener Neueste Nachrichten" of August 10th, 1890, entitled "Chronicle of the Destruction of Forests through the 'Nonne' and other Wood Insects.

"}

  "Just as men and beasts are from time to time carried off in multitudes by epidemics, which epidemics it has not yet been found possible entirely and finally to suppress by art and science and by doctors and veterinaries, in like manner the trees of the forest are now and then attacked and destroyed by forest insects. Fortunately these vanish, as a rule, as quickly as they come, by the operation of natural agencies. This is the only consolation we have in view of the desolate condition to which many of the pine forests of Germany, and in particular of Bavaria, have been reduced by the horrible devouring caterpillar the "Nonne."

(4

Before now in earlier centuries our woods have been attacked by similar calamities, and yet the German forests grow green and thrive, and yield, year by year, higher rents. This may serve to calm too anxious minds and to correct the views of those who are so ready with their judgments, and who ascribe the blame of the misfortunes which have fallen on the forests solely to the forest officials.

  "1. In 1449 and 1450 a considerable plague of caterpillars attacked the Nurnberg forests, for which no remedy could be found (Nurnberg, Chronik.)

*

*

  "10. In 1737 the caterpillars made such a dreadful invasion into the Thuringian Forest, that in a small part of the Duchy of Meiningen in 1742, 2,985 cords of dead wood still lay on the forest; but by good fortune at this time glass furnaces were introduced, which absorbed the wood killed by the "nonnen" pest. (K. v. Sprengeisen. Topograph, etc.)

**

  "11. In 1783 and 1784, in the Fichtelgebirge (Bayreuth district), the "nonnen caterpillar caused great damage to the old and young pine trees. The bark beetle followed and finished the trees: (Kob.)

*

  "12. In 1791-96, in the forests of Kurmark, although for five years no trace of the caterpillar had been found, 650,000 "morgens" of pine forest were devoured by the great pine caterpillar and the seventh part totally destroyed. (Hennert.) The bark beetle also took part in this destruction. The pest also spread to Mecklenburg, Saxony, and Bohemia.

*

  "13. In 1794-97 the 'nonnen' caterpillar appeared in Vogtland, viz., in the pine and fir forests of Lobenstein, Schleiz, Ebersdorf, and Saalburg, and worked vast destruction, so that the loss was reckoned at 2,000,000 cords of wood, and the plague also threatened the neighbouring forests of Altenburg, Electoral Saxony, Saalfeld, and Schwarzburg."

Bechstein, in his Forest Insectology (1818), describes the great destruction caused by the 'non- nen' caterpillar in 1794-97 in Vogtland, Lithuania, and West Russia, and gives figures which corres- pond exactly with our present situation. Seventy-two years ago he wrote as follows:-

"It is horrible to travel in those districts where these caterpillars swarm. Many thousands crawl up and down the trees. One cannot take a step without treading on a number of them. There is a perpetual rain of their excreta, which often lies six inches deep, and being dissolved by the rain, collects in puddles, which diffuse a pestilential stench. One can form no idea of the magnitude and terrible nature of the destruction. Fortunately Nature herself stopped the pest through a kind of dysentery which attacked the cater- pillars in the beginning of June 1797. This deadly sickness was attributed to a kind of mildew. The caterpillars collected together in great thick clumps, four to six inches across, the excreta became pale, the intestines dirty, and so they died, leaving behind them a disgusting stench."

  "As to the measures of prevention and suppression of that day, they hardly differed from those in use now. Bechstein, in 1818, recommended-1st, protection and encouragement of insectivorous birds; 2nd, protection of useful insects which attack and pursue the "nonnen"; 3rd, scraping the eggs off the trees with brooms and scrapers with long and short stems; 4th, picking off the moths, caterpillars, and cocoons (in 1796 the Prussian district administration at Hof caused 1,838,000 female butterflies to be caught, and paid 6 krenzers for every thousand); 5th, the lighting of a number of small bonfires on dark nights (for it is well known that butterflies are attracted by the moonlight), and they paid in Bayreuth in 1796 for one night's maintenance of fire and bringing wood 5 groschen; 6th, isolation of the districts attacked by broad paths and ditches; 7th, cutting off in March and April of the branches nearly to the vertical, and burning them; 8th, cutting down of whole standing trees, and burning of the branches and bark; 9th, removal of moss and litter from the forests and burning, if eggs or cater- pillars are found therein.

  "In connexion with the injury caused by the 'nonnen' in this century, we may briefly mention here the extensive 'nonnen' plague of 1839-40 in Upper Suabia (Wurtemberg), which ravaged many hundreds of 'morgens' of pine forest. The same thing was repeated in 1855, and at the present

moment is appearing almost in the same spots in a very serious n

But the most considerable 'nonnen' pest of all took place in Russia, and spread from 1845-186. a most devastating manner over Poland, Lithuania, and East Prussia. The invasion in East Pruia began suddenly in 1853, in the night of July 29-30, and covered a superficies of about 60 German square miles in the administra- tion of Gumbinnen, after it had already crossed over in 1851 and 1852 the southern boundary of the administration of Konigsberg. At that time the 'nonnen' moths were driven by a storm into the sea while on their way, so that the insects were thrown up by the waves on to the coasts for a distance of 10 German miles in a bank 7 feet wide and 6 inches thick, and were used as manure by the coast inha- bitants. The extent of the ravages in Russia at that time was 6,400 German geographical square miles, in East Prussia 600 ditto, total 7,000. At the very least 55,000,000 Prussian cords or wood, of 184,000,000 cubic metres of wood, became the prey of 'nonnen' and bark beetles.

   "These few examples may suffice to show that the 'nonnen' have made their appearance in former centuries in large numbers, and have generally disappeared with equal suddenness. The present catastrophe will likewise come to an end, after causing heavy losses, though it may possibly return many years later. But we possess no radical remedy against the 'nonnen,' and it seems doubtful if we shall ever find one. At all events it is the duty of the forest managers, forest owners, the Govern- ment, and the whole population to come to close quarters in every possible way with this dangerous visitor, even although Nature herself up till now has proved herself the best helper, and may continue so in future. When, however, the present evil will be conquered that God alone can certainly tell-"Let us hope for the best.""

   73. The experience gained in Europe and related above is useful as indicating the habits and peculiarities of tree-eating caterpillars, and what the prospects may possibly be of the re-invasion in Hongkong of the caterpillar with which we have had so unfortunate an experience. There is one comfort here which was denied those on the European continent, viz., that our caterpillar does not seem to have the capacity to live on any other tree or plant except the common pine, so that all other things have been quite exempt from attack. The moth of our caterpillar, on the other hand, is not attracted by light, which I proved last May when experimenting with a view of ascertaining the best practicable methods of destroying the caterpillar.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

CHARLES FORD, Superintendent,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 249.

  The following Report of the Director of the Observatory for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 6th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th June, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 23rd March, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1894 to His Excellency the Governor. My tenth volume of observations and researches was published last summer and the eleventh volume. is now being printed.

2. In my last annual report I was able to state that "precedence urgency" had been granted by the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegraph Companies and also by the Chinese Telegraph Administration to our messages, I regret, however, to be unable to report any improvement in the time of receipt of these, and so far as the United Telegraph Companies are concerned the delay would thus appear to be beyond their control. With regard to the messages coming over the lines of the Chinese Telegraph Administration, the case is however different, as it is clearly established that the messages are handed in at their offices immediately and, therefore, it is certain that the delay occurs in transmission over their lines. But as the messages received through this channel pass over land lines communication will, of course, be more frequently interrupted. The tardy receipt or non-arrival of the observatious interferes greatly with the prompt issue of weather intelligence, and the early or late issue of such must necessarily depend upon the time of receipt of the observations from the coast stations. With regard to the observations made at Anping (South Formosa) and Hoihow (Hainan), the messages are so seldom received in time that for the purpose of storm-warnings they are as a rule practically useless, and as both these stations are outposts, as regards local warnings, so to speak, the one to the east and the other to the west of the Colony, it is readily seen that the non-receipt of these observations is a very great loss. Last typhoon season the Hoihow observations would have been particularly valuable, had they been received, as many of the typhoons approached the immediate neighbourhood of that station, and there is no doubt that were the Hoihow observations received in time, the information the Observatory is able to give with regard to typhoons in the China Sea would be much improved. Unfortunately the irregularities and delay in the receipt of the messages are more frequent in the typhoon season than in the winter months, and this remark applies to all stations, Bolinao excepted.

3. The thanks of the Government are due to the Telegraph Companies for their kindness in continuing to forward the meteorological telegrams free of charge, and the staff of the Eastern Exten- sion Telegraph Company at Bolinao is to be especially thanked for their kind aid in making observa- tions at all times, but particularly during the typhoon season. During the past year their help has been invaluable in this respect and their observations during the passage of typhoon centres in the vicinity of the station enabled Mr. FIGG to indicate the subsequent movements of such typhoons in the China Sea with accuracy. The staff of the same Company at Sharp Peak, near Foochow, also rendered valuable assistance on two or three occasions, and it would be a great improvement could the Telegraph Company be prevailed upon to allow the staff to forward observations regularly. No observations have been received from Foochow since the 10th September last, when the port was closed on account of the China-Japan war.

  4. In my last annual report I stated that Victoria Peak and Gap Rock would shortly be placed in direct communication with the Observatory. This improvement has not yet been effected, and the wind observations made at Victoria Peak are often received too late for insertion in the China Coast Register, and latterly no observations have been received until about 2.30 p.m. and frequently later than this each day. This apparently arises to a great extent from the roundabout method by which the observations are forwarded to the United Telegraph Offices in Queen's Road for transmission to the Observatory. The importance of the wind observations from Victoria Peak has frequently been insisted on by me, but their value is at once discounted through the delay in transmission.

5. The following table shows the times of observation at the various coast stations and the per- centage of days during the month of June last, when the morning or afternoon observations were received at the Observatory after 11 a. or 5 p. respectively. It is seen that on about two-thirds of

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

673

the days during the month the observations from the most important stations, Bolinao excepted, were not received in time to enable the China Coast Register to be issued until after 11 a.

The delay in the receipt of the messages thus exhibited includes also that which has occurred through interrup- tions of the local (Observatory) line. This is given as an example and it shows that considerable delays, beyond the control of the Observatory, must frequently occur in the issue of weather intel- ligence as long as the observations are not more promptly received:-

Interruptions, therefore, occurred on 22 days as well as during thunder- storms. 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 3rd July at 6 a. to the 4th July at 6 a.; from the 3rd September at noon to the 4th September at 6 a.; from the 5th September at 6 a. to the 5th September at 8 p.; from the 23rd September at 6 a. to the 24th Sep- tember at 6 a.; from the 25th September at 6 a. to the 28th September at 6 a.; from the 5th October at 11 a. to 11th October at 6 a.; from the 14th October at 6 a. to the 15th October at 6 a.; from the 28th November at 2 p. to the 29th November at 6 a.; from the 8th December at 2 p. to the 9th December at 6 a., and from the 23rd December at 2 p. to the 24th December at 6 a., i.e., on 26 days as well as during thunderstorms.

7. The China Coast Meteorological Register was printed daily at the Observatory, and informa- tion regarding storms was telegraphed and exhibited on notice boards in Hongkong and elsewhere as often and as fully as such information could be justified by the observations received. Some of these notices were telegraphed by Mr. FIGG to a printer in Hongkong, who issued them in the form of "expresses." Such expresses used to be circulated by the Police, but the Government intimated to me last summer that it would be preferable to issue them as printed expresses except on Sundays or after the printing office is closed.

8. Telegrams giving information about typhoons were issued on 61 days by Mr. FIGG. The Red Drum was hoisted 3 times, Red North Cone 2, Red South Cone 5, Black Ball 8, Black North Cone 1. Black South Cone 8, Lanterns vertically 5 times. The gun was fired one round 6 times, and two rounds twice. Printed expresses were circulated 3 times.

9. During 1894, in addition to meteorological registers kept at about 40 stations on shore, 1348 ship-logs have been received. 1123 were forwarded by Captains and 225 were copied on board ship in the harbour. The ship-logs collected in 1894 were thus distributed: -for 1890, 1 log; for 1892, 1 log; for 1893, 44 logs; for 1894, 1302 logs. The total number of ships, whose log-books have been made use of, was 292. The total number of days' observations was 17093. These data, which are

very complete, are collected, reduced, tabulated and made available for the study of typhoons and other meteorological features by Miss DOBERCK. Mr. FIGG has finished the investigation of the typhoons of 1890, and I have commenced those in 1891, but the investigation of the typhoons in 1893 has not yet been touched. These unfortunate arrears of work, by which we are handicapped in our storm- warnings, are due solely to the undermanning of the Observatory in 1889 and 1890.

year

  10. The thanks of the Government are due to all those commanders of vessels who during the 1894 have made meteorological observations regularly and forwarded them to the Observatory, and also to those who have given facilities for the copying of their meteorological logs on board. Mr. KIRKWOOD, of the I. M. C. C. Kaipan, is to be especially thanked for the very complete observations he made during last summer while this vessel was stationed on the south coast of Hainan. His observ- ations have been of great value for the determination of some of the typhoon tracks of last year.

11. The following is a list of ships from which logs have been obtained in 1894. Those to which* is prefixed have been communicated directly by their respective Captains, and the remainder have been copied on board the several vessels.

   13. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc.," (Kelly & 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 6 aneroids were verified. In addition several hundred marine barometers and aneroids on board ship were compared with the Observatory standard.

15. The tide-tables for the port of Hongkong for 1895 have been obtained by Mr. E. ROBERTS by aid of his tide-predicting machine from the hourly readings for the three years 1887, 1888 and 1889.

16. The number of transits observed by Mr. PLUMMER in 1894 was 660, the inclination of the axis was determined 288 times, and circumpolar stars for determination of azimuth and collimation errors were observed 13 times. The following miscellaneous observations have been made :-

the remainder (529) being for time determination. Each limb of the sun has been counted separately. The azimuth of the meridian mark above Wanchai, which I constructed in 1884, has been determined 8 times by Mr. PLUMMER, but it is not yet ascertained how much or to which side it deviates from the meridian, as that depends upon the weight attributed to individual measures, and the unweighted mean result is below the probable error. The rates of the standard clocks are exhibited in the following table. They are compared with the rates calculated from formula exhibited at the head of the tables. On September 10 at 10.30 a. the cord of the sidereal standard clock snapped while being wound up. The clock was kept going with a shortened cord until September 17 at 5 p. when it was stopped to admit of an alteration being made in the stopping gear. On this occasion all the pivots were oiled. The acceleration in the rate which took place in the earlier months, probably owing to dryness of the pivots, is not observable after the oiling of the pivots on September 17.

  17. The rate of the Brock Standard Mean Time Clock, reduced to 75°, appears to depend to some extent upon the position of the weight; going faster immediately after the clock is wound up, and gradually more and more slowly until the time of the next winding. This seven-day period has been observed ever since the clock was erected in August 1891, as is shown in the following table:-

Jan. 5, 1892-Jan. 16, 1893 Jan. 20, 1893-Dec. 21, 1893 Jan. 23, 1894-Mar. 5, 1895

  The daily change of rate due to this cause has been determined for the intermediate period and together with the observed arc of the pendulum corresponding thereto is shown below. It is to be remarked that the clock is regularly wound on Monday morning, and that the rate for the 24 hours subsequent to that is entered opposite to the day. The sudden increase of the arc of the pendulum on Saturday is due to the fact that it is then often read by Mr. FIGG, whose habit of observing it is to give a greater reading than Mr. PLUMMER who has made the other observations:---

  18. During the year 1894 the Time Ball has been dropped daily except on Government holidays. On the 29th July it was not hoisted as one of the wires in the discharge circuit was found corroded. On the 19th September, the 25th and 30th of the same month, and also on the 5th October the wind was two strong to risk hoisting the ball. The line was interrupted on the 6th and 7th October. The ball failed once in 1894. The failure was due to the top of the cylinder being dirty with thickened oil. The following table exhibits the errors of the time-ball in 1894. It will be seen that these never exceeded a half a second perceptibly, and that in nearly three out of four cases there was practically no error noticeable. This was due to the care bestowed upon the astronomical observations by

Mr. PLUMMER.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

   19. During my absence on leave from the 28th May to the 26th December, inclusive, after eleven years continuous service in the Colony, Mr. J. I. PLUMMER, Chief Assistant, took charge of the astro- nomical and magnetic observations, including the time-hall, and Mr. F. G. FIGG, First Assistant, attended to weather-forecasts and storm-warnings and superintended the meteorological work. The way Mr. FIGG discharged these duties, which are of considerable importance to shipping, during my absence, is deserving of the highest praise, and calls, I respectfully submit, for some reward from the Government. Miss A. DOBERCK, Assistant Meteorologist, attended to maritime meteorology and made weather maps.

Mr. Ho To SHANG, Second Assistant, attended to the monthly and annual weather- reports, in which he was assisted by two native computers, who also made hourly observations day and night and attended to electric and photographic work. Some of the instruments suffered during my absence from various causes, but I expect to have them in as good order next summer as they were last spring.

   20. Observations of magnetic declination and horizontal force were made by Mr. PLUMMER and reduced by Mr. FIGG with the unifilar magnetometer Elliott Brothers, No. 55, and the dips were observed with dip-circle, Dover No. 71. 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 log2 K was 3.44901 at 25°. The value of P was +8.360. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.45363 in English units and 592.24 in C. G. S. units.

   The times of vibration exhibited is 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 chronome- ter and arc of vibration.

[The observations of horizontal force are expressed in C.G.S. units (one centimetre, one gramme, one second), but the monthly synopsis exhibites 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 is also given in English units (one foot, one grain, one second) and in Gauss's units (one millimetre, one milligramme, one second.]

   21. The cisterns of the barograph and standard barometers are placed 109 feet above M.S.L. The bulbs of the thermometers are rotated 108 feet above M.S.L., and 4 feet above the grass. The solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height. The rim of the rain-guage is 105 feet above M.S.L., and 21 inches above the ground.

22. The monthly weather reports are arranged as follows:--

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

After the typhoon of October 5th to 6th the axis on which the cups revolve was found to be broken just above the point where the cups are fixed. This is believed to have occur- red at about 4.30 p. on the 5th. The velocity recorded for 5 p. (4.30 p. to 5.30 p.) was only 46 miles and during this interval the wind was estimated to be at its worst and to be blowing with full typhoon force. The velocity recorded for 6 p. (5.30 p. to 6.30 p.). was 67 miles and during the hour the wind was also estimated to be of typhoon force, but per- haps somewhat less violent than during the preceding hour. The values 85 and 80 miles have, therefore, been substituted for these two hours respectively in place of those actually recorded. The values for subsequent hours agree very well with the estimations of force on

the whole and they have, therefore, been entered as recorded. It is believed that the record was but little affected except for the two hours named when the cups were observed to wobble to a great extent during the violent squalls.

Table VIII. exhibits the amount (0-10), naine (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 formule, and also the mean direction of the wind.

Below this is printed a list of the phenomena observed.

23. The following annual weather report for 1894 is arranged as follows:-

Table VI. exhibits the mean values for the year (or hourly excess above this) obtained from the monthly reports. The total duration of rain was 846 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on 145 days.

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

Table VIII. 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. y., half of the days when the wind was NNE are counted as N, and the other half as NE.

Table IX. 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 X. shows the frequency of clouds of different classes.

Table XI. is arranged as last year.

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

Table XIII. contains five-day means.

Table XIV, XV, XVI. contain magnetic observations.

I have the honour to be.

The observations show that pressure was in defect to the SW of Luzon and to the N of Palawan on the 28th, but it does not appear that a cyclonic disturbance of any intensity existed at this time. On the 30th the observations point to low pressure in the neighbourhood of the Paracels. The barometer was inclined to fall at Hoihow, in Hainan, with gentle NE breezes while pressure was increasing slightly on the Cochin China coast the weather there being very wet and squally with fresh SW winds. On the 31st after 9 a. the barometer commenced to fall very rapidly at Hoihow with wind increasing from the ENE. At 2.30 p. the centre of a small typhoon (II) passed over the port with the lowest reading of the barometer 28.64 as recorded at the Custom House. The wind fell to almost a calm for twenty minutes and came again with typhoon force from the west. The barometer rose rapidly and the wind decreased quickly backing at the same time to SW.

The Hoihow observations of 9 a. on May 31st did not reach the Hongkong Observatory until 9.10 a. on June 1st, and then in a mutilated condition, and the existence of this depression as a definite cyclonic disturbance was therefore not known here at the time.

After passing over Hoihow the typhoon moved northwards and entered the coast of China, thence recurving to the NE.. At noon on the 1st June the centre was situated in about 23° 30′, 112° 00′ and it passed to the north of Canton during the evening. On the 2nd June its course was towards ENE and a rapid decrease of pressure took place in the neighbourhood of Amoy. The centre was situated in about 25°, 116 at noon. Late the same evening it would appear to have regained the sea, as a small depression, to the north of Foochow, where the barometer had fallen to 29.58 at 9 p. with a strong WSW breeze and rain. Bad weather prevailed in the Formosa Channel on this day, particularly at the lighthouse stations in the north part of the Channel, where cyclonic gales, veering, with a rapid fall of the barometer, occurred during the evening.

The above observations refer to typhoon III which appears to have been forming to the NW of Palawan on the 14th June. It was first encountered by the bark Foohng Suey on the 15th. This vessel was situated in the left hand semicircle and experienced a heavy gale from NW backing to SW on the afternoon and evening of the 15th during which she sustained considerable damage to sails. The centre was in 14° 45', 114° 00′ at noon on this day and its course was towards NW. On the 16th the centre was in 17° 00′, 111° 30′ at noon. The S.S. Keemun, in the left hand semicircle and about 50 miles to the WSW of the centre at noon, experienced winds of storm force from WNW the direction backing to SW and S during the evening and decreasing slowly in force. The S.S. Toyo Maru, in the right hand semicircle, had the centre passing to the W and close to the vessel during the evening. The barometer fell to 28.89 and winds of force 11 from ESE and SE were experienced, accompanied by terrific rainsqualls, lightning and a mountainous sea. Captain EDWARDS states-- On the night of the 15th at sunset the only indication of coming bad weather was an olive green coloured sky." The I.M.C.C. Kaipan was anchored at Samah on the extreme S coast of Hainan and during the evening they had a moderate NNE breeze with the barometer falling quickly. The wind backed to NW early next morning, the 17th, and increased to force 5 accompanied by drizzling rain and lightning. The centre was now entering the SE coast of Hainan. At 6 a. they made the lowest reading of the barometer (29.46) and the wind had backed to W and increased to a fresh gale. The typhoon continued to move towards NW across Hainan, but at noon the centre had passed into the Gulf of Tongking to the W of Hoihow and was situated in 19° 45′, 109° 00′ and it now commenced to move towards WNW. The S.S. Swatow which left Haiphong for Hoihow at 1 p. on this day encountered very heavy weather during the evening. The wind rose to a whole gale from NNE the barometer falling to 29.48. On the 18th at 3 a. the wind veered to SSE in a terrific squall and there- after the barometer rose and the wind force gradually decreased, the direction remaining at S by E. The centre passed a little to the west of this vessel and it appears that the depression had filled up to some extent during its passage across Hainan. Winds from WNW backing to SSW at Haiphong show that it entered the continent and passed to the north of this port on the morning of the 18th. At noon the centre was probably situated in 21° 30', 106° 30'. Between the 15th and 18th the typhoon moved at an average speed of about 8 miles per hour. The information issued with regard to this typhoon would have been much more definite had the observations from Hoihow, the important station in this case, been received at the proper time. The 9 a. observation of the 16th was received

It is evident that observations received from 24 to 36 hours late can be of little service for the purpose of giving storm warnings. The Customs officials who make the observations at Hoihow hand them in at the Telegraph Office immediately they are made and the delay occurs in the transmission over the Chinese land lines.

   On June 23rd the observations show that wet squally weather prevailed around the middle part of the China Sea and pressure appears to have been somewhat low in the neighbourhood of the Paracels. The sailing vessels Hiddekel, Herat, Comet and A. G. Ropes were situated from 100 to 150 miles to the south of Hongkong and they all had the wind increasing from the E with the weather becoming squally during the evening. Next day, the 24th, H. M. S. Rattler and the sailing vessel A. G. Ropes encountered typhoon IV which appears to have been forming to the southward on the previous day. Both vessels were in the righthand semicircle and near the centre which was situated in 19° 45,' 113° 30′ at noon or about 150 miles to the SSW of Hongkong (compare warnings of June 24th). The A. G. Ropes had the lowest reading of the barometer (29.06) at noon with winds. of storm and typhoon force from the SE and sustained great damage aloft, the vessel being reduced to bare poles. II. M. S. Rattler was laid to at 9 a. with the wind a strong breeze from E by N. Storm sails were bent and everything secured. The wind increased and the barometer fell rapidly and at 6 p. she experienced storm force from ESE, the barometer having then attained the lowest point (29.09, uncorrected). During the evening the barometer rose rapidly with the wind veering to SE

and SSE and decreasing. Thick blinding rain prevailed all day and there was a heavy confused sea, the latter causing the vessel to roll and pitch heavily. The jibboom broke off short at the cap and a couple of boats were washed away. The typhoon moved towards WNW and at midnight heavy squalls of wind and rain from SW were experienced at Hoihow, but by daylight on the 25th the wind had gradually calmed down. At Pakhoi they had the barometer falling with a fresh NW breeze and rain during the morning. In the afternoon the wind backed to West and decreased. The depression thus passed to the E and N of the port on the 25th but it had filled up to a great extent at this time. At noon the centre was situated in 21° 45,' 110° 15′ and the disturbance had traversed a distance of 220 miles during the past 24 hours thus giving it an average speed of about 9 miles per hour.

June 26th, 11.19 a. "Troughlike area of relatively low pressure appears to exist across the China Sea in about 17° latitude. Fresh NE winds are indicated to the northward and SW winds to the southward of the area. Sea moderate. Weather showery and squally.'

June 27th, 10.10 a. Red Drum hoisted.

"

  June 27th, 11.22 a. "Typhoon appears to be situated near S. Formosa. Observations from Swatow, Anping and Amoy not yet received. Moderate NW winds and fair weather probable here."

June 27th, 5.30 p. Typhoon east of S. Formosa appears to be moving towards NNW."

June 28th, 11.15 a. "The barometer continues to fall on the S and SE Coasts. Moderate W winds and fine weather probable here. Observations from Swatow, Amoy and Anping not yet received."

June 28th, 12.15 p. "The typhoon is East of Formosa moving slowly towards NNW at present." June 28th, 4.10 p. Red North Cone hoisted. "Bad weather prevails in the N part of the

Formosa Channel."

June 29th, 11.0 a. Red North Cone taken down.

  June 29th, 11.28 a. "The typhoon has entered the coast between Foochow and Wenchow. Barometer rising slowly here. Moderate SW winds, squally, with thundershowers."

June 30th, 11.15 a. "The typhoon is moving northwards in the interior of China to the West of Shanghai. Strong SE gales probable off E Coast. On S. Coast, barometer rising with strong SW monsoon and fair to showery weather."

On the 26th June typhoon V commenced to affect the weather in Luzon. The barometer fell and the wind freshened from the W and SW. A considerable decrease of pressure also took place in S. Formosa and moderate increasing breezes from NE and N prevailed at South Cape. The centre of the typhoon appears to have been situated at a considerable distance to the eastward of N. Luzon at this time. On the 27th a further decrease of pressure had taken place in Luzon and in S. Formosa, amounting to about 0.1 inch in the former district and to about 0.2 inch in the latter. The typhoon had probably moved in a WNW direction since the previous day. Fresh W to SW winds continued to prevail in S. Luzon while at S. Cape, Formosa a strong N breeze with showery weather was experi- enced. The centre at noon on this day may have been situated in 20°, 124°, but this position is very uncertain owing to lack of information from the Pacific.

Attention may be called here to the fact that the notice referring to the position of this typhoon, on the morning of the 27th, had to be issued in the absence of observations from, in this case, three very important stations, viz., Swatow, Amoy and Anping, that is to say the most necessary data were not available,

  On the 28th the typhoon was moving towards the NNW to the East of Formosa and it appears to have passed to the East of South Cape during the early morning. The wind backed to NW of force 6 at 3 a. (barometer 29.41) and subsequently to W, the force decreasing meanwhile. The baro- meter, however, continued to fall slowly and the wind increased to a strong gale from WNW during the evening. In the Formosa Channel, between Fisher Island and Middle Dog, gales from NNE prevailed and in N. Formosa strong NE and NNE breezes until late at night. At Keelung the wind backed to W of force 6 at 9 p. showing that the centre had then passed to the north of the latitude of this station. The centre was perhaps situated in 23°, 123° at noon but this position is only approx- imate for the reason previously stated, viz., the absence of data from the Pacific to the eastward-of the centre. On the morning of the 29th the typhoon was moving on a northwesterly course and approaching the East Coast of China in the neighbourhood of Wenchow. The noon observations on this day show a perfect cyclonic circulation and in the right hand semicircle gales blew at a distance of 300 miles from the centre, the latter being at noon off the coast near Wenchow and situated in 27° 45,' 121° 30'. A large number of vessels encountered the bad weather, but the greater number had taken shelter at various points along the coast. One vessel, the S.S. Nanchang, bound from Chefoo to Swatow, ran safely across the path in front of the centre on the morning of the 29th and thus gained the manageable semicircle. She experienced a NNE gale at 4 a. (barometer 29.45) backing to WNW of force 8 (barometer 29.20) at 8 a. The S.S. Hangchow at anchor in 27° 30, 121° 00' was situated in the lefthand semicircle. Typhoon force of wind from West by South was experienced at 2 p. the barometer falling to its minimum, 29.01, at 3 p. The barometer rose after 5 p. with the wind slowly decreasing and backing to SW. The S.S. Taisang had been taken into shelter at Lotsin Bay, near Wenchow, on the previous evening and there encountered the centre. They had the wind steadily

increasing in force from the N during the morning of the 29th and at 9 a. it blew a whole gale accom- panied by torrents of rain. The barometer fell at a fairly uniformn rate of about 0.05 inch per hour between 1 a. and 11 a. At the latter hour the reading was 29.04 and now an extremely rapid fall set in, the mercury descending to 28.44 at p. At the same hour the win increased to a hurricane

from N with squalls of terrific violence which lashed the Bay into perfect foam. The vessel was steaming ahead to prevent her being driven from her anchors. At 4 p. the wind decreased to force 10 and at 4.30 p. the centre passed over the ship. The wind fell calm but the sky remained overcast with rain. Many land birds, &c. boarded the vessel at this time. How long the calin lasted is not stated, but the wind sprang up again frm SW blowing with force 10 only, ie., the wind was not as strong nor the gradients as steep in rear as in front of the centre; but a part of the central area was now, of course, on land. The wind continued to blow with force 10 for the remainder of the evening backing to SSW at 10 p. At midnight the barometer had risen to 29.20. At noon on the 30th the centre was situated in 30° 30,' 120° 15′ or about 90 miles to the SW of Woosung, and it was begin- ning to recurve to the NNE. Southeast gales prevailed at the lighthouse stations at the mouth of the Yangtze and moderate NE to NW breezes at the Yangtze ports, but the depression had filled up considerably during its progress over the land. At noon on the 1st July the centre was situated in 32° 30,′ 120° 30'. The disturbance had moved slowly, at 5 miles per hour only, during the preced- ing 24 hours and SE gales, slowly veering, had thus continued to blow at Shanghai and at the light- house stations in that neighbourhood until the morning of the 1st July while fresh NE breezes back- ing to NW prevailed at Chinkiang and Wuhu on the Yangtze. On regaining the sea during the afternoon of the 1st, the depression moved very rapidly towards the NNE. The centre had already crossed the Shantung Promontory between Chefoo and the NE Shantung Promontory lighthouse at 3 a. on the 2nd, and on the early morning of the 3rd it appears to have influenced the weather at Wladivostok where strong SSE winds prevailed with a considerable decrease of pressure.

July 14th, 11.13 a. "Small depression moving westward probably between Macao and Hoihow. Barometer unsteady. Fresh SE winds. Sea moderate. Weather showery and squally."

The observations show that pressure had decreased on this day around Gulf of Tongking and strong SE to S winds with rainsqualls prevailed between Hongkong and 20° Lat., but there is no evidence of the existence of any cyclonic depression.

July 18th, 11.7 a. "There are indications of a depression on the W side of the China Sea in about 17° to 18° latitude. On S coast, barometer falling, moderate E winds and fair weather."

July 19th, 11.12 a. "Depression in China Sea appears to be troughlike in character at present with moderate winds from SW in the S part of the China Sea and from NE in the N part. On S coast, barometer falling slowly. Weather fair."

The above observations show that on the 18th pressure was in defect about Hainan and the Gulf. of Tongking and that moderate E to NE breezes prevailed along the S. coast of China and in the China Sea to the northward of 20° latitude, while moderate SW breezes blew to the southward of 19° latitude. On the 19th there is more distinct evidence of the existence of a troughlike depression which probably stretched across the China Sea between the S. entrance to the Gulf of Tongking and the Balingtang Channel, pressure, however, being slightly lower in the former than in the latter district. On the 20th there are indications of a feeble cyclonic circulation about the position 19°, 112° and on the 21st there is still a trace of a shallow depression (VI) lying between Hongkong and Hainan. Winds had veered to the southward of Hongkong and strong S to SE breezes prevailed there accompanied by wet and squally weather.

The conditions which had prevailed during this period, are those which not uncommonly give birth to a typhoon, but in this instance the slight depression was dissipated without any such result.

The above observations for the 24th July indicate that a small depression (VII) was probably central in 18° 113°. To the northward of this position, at Hoihow and Hongkong, pressure was decreasing and moderate E to NE breezes prevailed between the two places with the weather becom- ing wet and squally. The S.S. Zafiro experienced fresh and strong SSE breezes with a cross sea at a distance of about 150 miles to the ENE and E of the position indicated above while at a distance of about 120 miles to southward of the centre, the bark Alcides experienced a moderate WSW gale. noon observations of the 25th place the centre in 19° 15, 112° 30' and the disturbance had thus moved in a northwesterly direction at the slow rate of about 3 miles per hour during the preceding 24 hours, but its speed, was now accelerated. During the morning the S.S. Devawongse crossed the path of the disturbance with the barometer falling rather sharply until noon and the wind backing from NE to NW and subsequently to SW during the afternoon as the vessel progressed towards SW by S, but only gentle and moderate breezes were experienced although the weather was very threaten- ing in appearance. As this vessel probably passed within 40 miles of the centre it would appear that stronger winds prevailed at a distance from, than near to, the centre. The steamships Decima and Bygdo in the lefthand semicircle and steering to the NE both experienced fresh SW gales accompanied by heavy rain during the evening and at the same time the wind increased from the N at Hoihow. The centre passed about 40 miles to the NE of Hoihow during the early morning of the 26th, the barometer being at its lowest point (29.49) at 4 a. with the wind gradually backing from NW to SW and decreasing. The depression was now affecting the weather at Pakhoi. The barometer was fall- ing and the wind increasing from N during the morning. At noon a moderate gale was blowing from NW the centre being situated at this hour in 21° 20,' 109° 45' or a few miles to the E of the port. At 2 p. the wind died away to almost a calm, light N and NE airs prevailing until 4 p. at which time the wind shifted to SW and gradually increased, attaining the force of a strong gale during the evening when the barometer commenced to rise. The lowest barometer reading recorded was 29.38 at 3 p. The centre thus passed over the port during the afternoon moving to the NW in the interior of China. During the 24 hours ending at noon on the 26th the depression had moved towards. NW by W at an average speed of about 8 miles per hour.

From

  It is seen that this disturbance never attained any very great intensity and the strongest winds reported were fresh. or strong gales only. The typhoon referred to in the weather notice of July 25th, as having entered SW Japan on the previous day, did not directly affect the China coast. observations made at the Japanese Station of Naha (26° 13', 127° 41') in the Loo Choo group of islands, it appears that Typhoon VIII approached this station from the southeast on the morning of the 23rd and passed it, at a short distance to the eastward, about noon moving rapidly towards the north-northwest. The barometer fell to 29.38 at 2 p. the wind backing from NNE at 10 a., to NW at 2 p. and to WSW at 6 p. and blowing with the force of a fresh or strong breeze accompanied by very heavy rain. The disturbance was encountered, early next morning, by the steamships Ethiope and Verona. The S.S. Ethiope was situated in 30° 40′, 127° 45′ at midnight of the 23rd and had then a falling barometer (29.62) and a strong ENE breeze with showery weather. At 4 a. of the 24th the barometer had fallen to 29.09 and typhoon force of wind from the north was experienced at 6 a. At 8 a. the barometer had risen to 29 31 and the wind had backed (in the lefthand semicircle) to NW of force 11. Thereafter the wind rapidly decreased in force maintaining, however, the NW direction. A heavy cross sea from E and NW prevailed during the storm with thick blinding rain and the vessel became unmanageable at 2 a. and fell off into the trough of the sea driving dead to leeward. From these observations it is seen that the centre must have passed a little to the Eastward of the vessel about 6 a. and that it was now recurving to the NE. Its average rate of progress during the past 18 hours was about 15 miles per hour. The S.S. Verona was also in the lefthand semicircle. They experienced a fresh N gale at 8 a. (barometer 29.36, minimum) in 31° 12', 127° 49′ the wind backing to NNW of force 6 with rising barometer (29.63) at noon. The remainder of the track is taken from the Japanese Weather Maps. The centre passed near Nagasaki about 2 p. on the 24th and continued on its course to the north-eastward with increasing velocity, but on the 25th it had almost filled up.

 Typhoon IX, to which the foregoing observations refer, was already in existence but far away in the Pacific, on July 29th. On this day the ship Ivy experienced a fresh WSW gale with hard rainsqualls in 19° 45', 133° 00'. Unfortunately they recorded no barometric observations but doubtless the bad weather encountered was due to a typhoon which was passing to the N and W of the vessel. On the 30th, the vessel being situated in 18° 54', 132° 45', the wind had backed to SW of force 6 the weather remaining very squally. The typhoon had now also commenced to affect the weather at Naha (Loo Choo Islands) where the barometer was falling quickly and the wind increasing from the NNE. On the 31st the observations show that a considerable decrease of pressure had taken place at this station during the preceding 24 hours and that the typhoon was also affecting the stations in Formosa and SW Japan. The centre was perhaps situated in 26°, 129° at noon and during the evening it approached the neighbourhood of Naha where the wind backed to WNW and blew a fresh gale, the barometer reading 29.17 at 9.30 p. The minimum reading recorded was 29.07 at 1.30 a. of August 1st the wind having then backed to WSW of force 5. Very heavy rain was falling with the wind steadily backing to SW and S during the morning but the barometer rose slowly.. The centre was thus passing a little to the north of this station on the morning of August 1st its course probably being towards WNW and W during the time. At noon on August 1st the centre was situated in 27°, 127° or about 60 miles to the NW of Naha. The barometer was now falling rather quickly in the neighbourhood of N Formosa with the wind increasing to a fresh breeze from W at Keelung, the centre being situated at a distance of about 300 miles to the ENE of the station. Pressure was also giving way on the East coast of China and moderate to fresh NE breezes blew at the lighthouse stations at the mouth of the Yangtze the centre bearing about 350 miles to the SE of the North Saddle lighthouse at noon. In SW Japan moderate or fresh E breezes prevailed the barometer being almost stationary the centre being about 350 miles SW by S of Kagoshima. The steamships Macduff and Empress of Japan had fresh NE to E gales at a distance of about 250 miles to north of the centre and the bark Alcides about 200 miles in front of, i. e., to the west of the centre, had an increasing N gale, a heavy sea and squally weather but the sky was only partially clouded and the weather remained dry.

"

 On August 2nd at noon the centre was situated in 27° 00', 123° 45′ the disturbance having moved westward at the rate of a little more than 7 miles per hour since noon of the preceding day. When the warning of August 2nd was issued from the Hongkong Observatory the centre was thus 170 miles to the NE of Tamsui (N Formosa). On referring to the noon observations made at the coast stations on this day it is seen that pressure had decreased generally on the China coast between Hongkong and Shanghai during the preceding 24 hours, the fall being a rapid one in the area between the N part of the Formosa Channel and Wenchow. The disturbance had also begun to affect the Yangtze stations where the barometer was now falling. In SW Japan and at Naha pressure was increasing as the typhoon moved away to the westward. Cyclonic winds were increasing in force on the China coast between N Formosa and Shanghai and very bad weather prevailed over an extensive area. At sea, E to SE gales with a heavy sea prevailed at a distance of 350 miles from the centre in the NE quadrant. and in front or to the W of the centre it was blowing with storm force from N at a distance of 150 miles. The noon position given for the bark Alcides is very doubtful, but it is certain that the vessel was very close to the centre which must have passed a little to the north of her position. They experienced typhoon force of wind from N backing to W during the afternoon and evening accompanied by violent rainsqualls. The barometer fell to 28.60 at 4 p. but the instru- ment then becane deranged and they were unable to make further observations.

 On the 3rd August the noon observations made at the coast stations clearly indicate that the centre was then situated between the Middle Dog lighthouse and Wenchow. The notice issued from the Observatory on the morning of the 3rd was therefore quite accurate. An excessive decrease of pressure had taken place during the preceding 24 hours at these stations and all stations between Hongkong and Shanghai and also the Yangtze ports were now much affected by the disturbance. By aid of the observations made on board the S.S. Choysang and other vessels the exact position of the centre at noon is found to be a little to the East of Namquan harbour and in 27° 10', 120° 45'. During the preceding 24 hours the typhoon had thus moved westward at an average speel of 7 miles per hour. The S.S. Wuotan at anchor in Bullock harbour and situated about 50 miles to the N of the centre at noon, had experienced typhoon force of wind from NE by N accompanied by thick rain since 7 a. the barometer remaining steady at 28.94 between 9 a. and noon. At I p. the wind veered to ENE with rising barometer and at 3 p. the wind had come to ESE and had decreased to force 10 with a lighter appearance of the sky. The bark Otago, hove to, was at noon situated at a distance of 65 miles to the SW by S of the centre. They had experienced a heavy gale from W, backing to SSW during the morning and her decks were constantly filled by sea water, everything moveable being washed away. During the evening the gale abated the wind direction backing to S by W with

rising barometer. The observations made on board the S.S. Choysang at anchor in Namquan harbour show that the centre passed almost over the vessel and entered the continent about 3 p.

                                                    After noon they experienced hurricane winds from NW with furious squalls and blinding rain so that it was impossible to see more than the ship's length. They made the following observations:-

These observations show that the centre passed over the anchorage, the vessel being situated on the northern edge of the central calin area. The disturbance continued on a W or WSW course in the interior of China, but it does not appear to have filled very rapidly. The coast stations between Hongkong and Shanghai were still affected by the depression on the 4th and it was not until the evening of this day that pressure began to increase again on the S coast, while the Yangtze ports of Kiukiang and Hankow continued to be under the influence of the disturbance until the 5th.

August 11th, 11.15 a. "A typhoon had approached the S coast of Japan yesterday afternoon." The typhoon (X) referred to above did not affect the China coast. The track is taken from the Japanese Weather Maps. The centre was situated to the SE of Kiushui on the 9th and it entered the S coast of Japan near Hamamatsu during the early morning of the 11th and proceeded to the NNE and NE, the depression becoming shallower meanwhile.

   On the 25th August the sea observations show that winds had a tendency to circulate around the position 16°, 115° and the barometric observations also indicate that pressure was slightly low in this part of the China Sea. On the 26th pressure had decreased in Hainan and along the S coast of China where winds were moderate but increasing from E and NE accompanied by showery and squally weather. The noon observations made at sea show that pressure had also decreased to the SE of Hainan during the preceding 24 hours and indicate the existence of a cyclonic depression (XI) of slight intensity with its centre in about 18°, 112. At a distance of about 100 miles from this position winds were no stronger than moderate or fresh breezes at this time, but during the evening the steamships Hupeh, Glenesk and Sishan steering for Hongkong, in rear of the centre, had the wind increasing from the SE with rising barometer, the latter vessel experiencing a strong gale with rain- squalls and a high sea at midnight. The S.S. Machew was to the WSW of the centre in the morning and also steering towards Hongkong. During the evening the fresh NW breeze that had been experienced during the morning died away and gave place to a gentle SE breeze. At 2 a. of the 27th the barometer attained its lowest point, 29.55, and at 3 a. the wind rose to a fresh gale from ESE accompanied by heavy rainsqualls. It appears, therefore, that this vessel passed through the central area during the evening of the 26th and the observations show that the disturbance was only a shallow depression with moderate or slight gradients to the westward of and in the central area. In depressions of this class which form in the northern part of the China Sea and generally move towards the Gulf of Tongking strong winds are seldom developed on their western sides where the gradients are moderate owing to the low pressure usually prevailing in the Gulf of Tongking and neighbouring coasts during the summer. The disturbance was now moving to the WNW and it entered the East coast of Hainan during the morning of the 27th. At Hoihow strong NE breezes veering to SE. were experienced accompanied by wet squally weather, the barometer rising during the afternoon. On the S coast of Hainan, at Yulinkau, the I.M.C.C. Likin experienced fresh SSW breezes with rain during the morning increasing to a moderate gale at night with rising barometer. At noon on the 27th August the centre was situated in about 1994, 109°, and it was about to pass from Hainan into the Gulf of Tongking. As pressure had increased very considerably in the neigh- bourhood of and to the southward of Hongkong, gradients were rather steep between Hongkong and Hainan and SE gales prevailed at sea between the two places. The S.S. Machew sustained great damage about her decks owing to the heavy sea which got up. The disturbance crossed the Gulf of Tongking between the 27th and 28th, and during the morning of the latter day the centre entered the coast a little to the South of Haiphong at which station a fresh NNE breeze prevailed during the morning veering to ESE and increasing to a gale with rising barometer during the afternoon.

   The depression never attained any great intensity and the strongest winds reported were of force 9 only.

Its average rate of progression between the 26th and 28th was nearly 8 miles per hour. Although the information issued from the Observatory with regard to this depression was substantially correct it may be stated that no observations were received from Hoihow between August 20th and 30th. As the disturbance crossed Hainan and as it was at all times nearer to Hoihow than to Hongkong it is readily seen that such observations would have afforded valuable assistance had they come to hand.

The foregoing observations refer to the typhoon which crossed the China Sea between the 7th and 12th September, but the observations made on board the sailing vessel Lucile which was in the Pacific at some distance to the eastward of Luzon appear to show that two typhoons were in existence at the same time the one crossing the China Sea in a WNW direction, and the other moving north- wards in the Pacific. With regard to the latter the Lucile experienced increasing WNW winds with heavy squalls on the 4th in 13° 32,′ 127° 41′ the barometer having fallen to 29.73. On the 5th in 15° 19,' 127° 44′ the vessel was hove to on the port tack, the wind having increased to a gale from SW with squalls of typhoon force and a high cross sea. The barometer remained almost steady. On the 6th in 14° 50,' 128° 32′ and on the 7th in 16° 41, 128° 32′ the SW gale continued with heavy squalls and a cross sea, and it was not until the 8th that the barometer rose decidedly and the weather improved. It appears, therefore, that the Lucile was under the influence of a typhoon (XII) which was moving to the northwest and north. On the 10th September a typhoon was approaching SW Japan and it subsequently moved to the NE crossing Japan on the 11th and 12th. It appears probable that this disturbance was the same as felt on board the Lucile between the 4th and 7th. The track of the typhoon across Japan is taken from the Japanese Weather Maps, but as the China Coast was not directly affected and the observations from the Japanese station of Naha (Loo Choo islands) are not yet to hand, it is impossible to prolong the track of the typhoon to the southward of Japan with certainty.

With regard to the typhoon (XIII) in the China Sea, the following conditions prevailed there for the two or three days previous to the 7th September:-Moderate to strong E and NE breezes with squally wet weather to the north of 16° or 17° latitude and moderate to fresh SW breezes to the south of 13° latitude. In the intervening area, particularly on its eastern side, light variable winds and calms prevailed and a gradual but moderate decrease of pressure was in progress at Bolinao and Manila. Between the 6th and 7th pressure increased 0.07 inch at Bolinao and a fresh SE breeze blew there on the morning of the 7th and at Manila a moderate SW breeze so that a southerly current had now taken the place of the light variable winds which had previously prevailed on that part of the Luzon coast. On the S. coast of China pressure was slowly decreasing and the fresh NE winds were still maintained. The marine data for the 7th indicate a depression, which was as yet of slight intensity, to be central in about 16°, 117° and it seems probable that the increase of pressure and the rather sudden advance of the southerly current northward on the W coast of Luzon were the chief causes which determined the formation of the cyclonic depression. The steamships Sungkiang and Zafiro, situated at a distance of about 120 miles to the rear of the centre at noon, experienced fresh to strong S to SW breezes accompanied by heavy rain and a high SSW sea. The sailing vessel Lilian Robbins was situated at a distance of about 150 miles in front of the centre at noon and they had the wind increasing from the WNW accompanied by rainsqualls.

   On the 8th the observations show a considerable decrease of pressure on the S coast of China while at Bolinao the barometer had again fallen, although the centre was now slowly moving away from the station, which appears to indicate that the depression had become deeper since the previous day. The centre at noon on the 8th was probably situated in 17° 30, 115° 30′ which shows that the disturbance had moved towards NW by W at the slow rate of just over 4 miles per hour. The centre was thus about 30 miles to the NE of the Lilian Robbins at noon.

                                        This vessel had expe- rienced a strong or whole NW backing gale with heavy rainsqualls and a high cross sea during the morning. They did not record the height of the barometer until 8 a. and thence it was almost steady or fell slowly until midnight when it read 29.26. The wind had gradually backed from W to SW between noon and midnight, but it continued to blow with force 10 except for a short time near 8 p. when it moderated slightly and at the same time the rain ceased and there was some partially clearing of the sky. The vessel was thus in the lefthand semicircle and the centre was slowly passing at a short distance to the north of her position on the evening of the 8th. Both the Zafiro and Sungkiang had passed into the NE quadrant since the previous day and had experienced the wind backing to SE during the interval. The barometer had fallen although they continued to be at about the same distance from the centre as on the previous day which, as above stated, indicates that the depression had become deeper. The S.S. Arratoon Apcar, bound for Hongkong and at a distance of about 150 miles to the SW by W of the centre, experienced a W by S gale with high sea and a falling barometer. They very properly ran to the eastward, but as the disturbance was moving very slowly they gained no immediate relief as they continued to experience a strong gale from WSW during the evening with the barometer still falling.

702

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

   At noon on the 9th the Lilian Robbins was still close to the centre, but her position, which is from dead reckoning, may possibly be somewhat in error as the vessel had been subject to a whole gale for a period of 36 hours and her position had not been determined by observation since noon of the 7th. The centre is, therefore, placed in 17° 45,' 114° 00′ at noon on the 9th which is a few miles to the westward of the position which the observations made on board this vessel would appear to indicate. This gives the disturbance a motion at the rate of rather less than 4 miles per hour in a W by N direction during the 24 hours ending at noon on the 9th. The Lilian Robbins was evidently situated close to the centre and was probably being carried along by the storm. The lowest recorded reading of the barometer was 29.26 and the mercury remained practically steady at this point the whole day. The wind, however, changed from SSW to E between 4 a. and 6 a. so that the vessel passed from the SE to the NE quadrant during the interval. After noon the wind veered to ESE but continued to blow with force 10 to 11 accompanied by heavy rainsqualls for the remainder of the day. The S.S. Arratoon Apcar experienced a strong SSE gale at a distance of about 90 miles to the rear of the centre, the S.S. Holstein a fresh NNE gale at a distance of about 150 miles in front of the centre and the S.S. Tai Cheong a fresh NE gale at a distance of 200 miles to the N of the centre. When the Black South Cone was hoisted the centre was situated about 260 miles to the south of Hongkong.

At noon on the 10th the centre was situated in 18° 30′, 112° 30′ or about 250 miles to the SSW of Hongkong and about 150 miles to the SE of Hoihow. The disturbance had continued to move at an average rate of about 4 miles per hour during the preceding 24 hours, the direction being towards WNW. At Hongkong it blew with an average force of a moderate gale from NE and ENE during the middle part of the day accompanied by rainsqualls, but the disturbance was now slowly moving away from the Colony and the barometer commenced to rise during the afternoon. At Hoihow the barometer was falling and a strong N breeze, increasing, was experienced. The sky was overcast and drizzling rain was falling. As usual the observations made at this station failed to reach

Hong- kong until two days later on. At sea the S.S. Taicheong was about 60 miles to the WSW of the centre at noon. This vessel had continued on her course towards SW since noon of the previous day and had run across the path in front of the centre in the course of the morning during which time winds of storm force backing from NE by N ?to NW were experienced accompanied by violent squalls. The lowest recorded reading of the barometer was made at noon. After this hour very heavy rain squalls were experienced and the wind continued backing towards W and SW but decreasing slowly ip in force. At midnight the barometer had risen to 29.50 but it still blew a strong gale from SW by W. The S.S. Holstein was in the righthand semicircle and situated at a distance of about 75 miles to the N by W of the centre. During the afternoon and evening a typhoon from NE veering to E was experienced, the lowest reading of the barometer (29.22) being recorded at midnight. Next morn- ing the wind veered to SE, decreasing slowly, with rising barometer. The ship Lilian Robbins, in the NE quadrant at a distance of about 120 miles from the centre, still had a whole gale from ESE at noon on the 10th but the barometer was rising quickly and the gale decreased during the evening. The S.S. Mathilde was hove to on the port tack early on the morning of the 10th. At noon she was probably situated at a distance of about 75 miles to the front of the centre. The barometer fell very rapidly during the evening and the wind which had been gradually increasing from the NW since noon attained typhoon force at 8 p. At 11 p. the wind decreased to force 4, and at midnight with the lowest recorded reading of the barometer (28.74) the wind changed to SW of force 3, the rain ceased, the sky partially cleared and the sea became moderate. The wind continued light from SW until after 2 a. of the 11th,, the barometer having risen slightly but at 3 a. it was blowing with typhoon force from SW and the barometer had risen to 28.94. Typhoon force from SW lasted until 6 a. when the storm began to abate, the direction backing to SSW at 9 a. The vessel therefore appears to have been situated on the southern edge of the central area at midnight of the 10th and the disturbance appears from these observations to have been moving to the NW at the time.

The

During the morning of the 11th the centre entered the island of Hainan. At Hoihow a whole gale from N by E was experienced at 2 a. and the barometer fell to its lowest point, 29.40, at noon, at which hour the wind had veered to ESE and decreased to a fresh gale. In the course of the after- noon the wind further veered to SE and gradually decreased in force and at 9 p. the barometer had risen to 29.71. The 1.M.C.C. Kaipan was anchored in Yulinkan Bay on the extreme south coast of Hainan. A strong W breeze was experienced during the morning which decreased in the afternoon and backed to SW in the evening. The barometer was rising after 8 a. and read 29.79 at 8 p. centre at noon was situated in 19° 30', 110° 0' or a few miles to the south of Hoihow and it had evidently commenced to fill up on entering the island. The course of the disturbance continued to be towards the WNW but the average speed had increased to 64 miles per hour between the 10th and 11th. In the course of the evening the steamships Strathdee and Hongkong encountered the typhoon in the Gulf of Tongking. The Strathdee which had left Hongay for Hongkong on the morning of the 11th experienced a moderate N breeze with cloudy and gloomy weather. During the afternoon the barometer began to fall quickly and at 8 p. they had a heavy gale from NNW which increased to typhoon force from the same direction at inidnight, the vessel then being situated in 20° 00', 107° 33. The barometer was at its lowest point (9.56) at the same hour. The vessel was in the lefthand semicircle and the wind gradually backed to NW 10 (29.65) at 4 a. and to W 10 (29.79) at 8 a.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

703

The S.S. Hongkong had left Haiphong for Hongkong in the morning. During the evening, the vessel being in the righthand semicircle, the wind rose from the NE and blew with force 11 at 8 p. At midnight the vessel being in the position 20° 53', 108° 09′ they experienced typhoon force of wind from E and ESE, the barometer having fallen to 29.60. At 4 a. on the 12th the wind had veered to SE of force 10 and at 8 a. to S of force 6 and at the latter hour the barometer had risen to 29.74. From these observations the centre must have been situated in 20° 10′, 108° 10′ at midnight of the 11th. It passed between the two vessels which were not very far asunder and although violent winds still blew hear the centre the depression had evidently become shallower during its progress across the island of Hainan.

  On the 12th September a strong NNW breeze was experienced at Haiphong during the early morning with the barometer reading 29.66 at 7 a. At 1.30 p. they had a strong breeze from SE and the barometer reading 29.60. From these observations, which are the only ones available, it is clear that the centre must have entered the coast and passed over, or very near, the ports between 7 a. and 1.30 p. but probably nearer the latter hour. The average rate of progression between noon of the 11th and noon of the 12th was about 9 miles per hour so that during the two previous days the rate of travel of the disturbance had gradually increased although its intensity had certainly decreased during this interval.

On the 13th the disturbance had disappeared from observation.

   Typhoon XIV was first experienced by the sailing vessel Lucile between the 12th and 17th of September, the vessel being situated at that time to the East of S Luzon. Her position during this period is not accurately stated but it may be taken as somewhere between the latitude of 13° and 14° and the longitude of 125° and 126°. They made scarcely any observations but the barometer is stated to have been falling on the 12th and 13th, the wind varying from N on the former to NW and WSW on the latter date. The wind was of the strength of a fresh breeze, rain was falling and the weather was very unsettled. On the 15th it blew a gale from W and SW accompanied by fierce squalls and heavy rain. On the morning of the 16th the barometer read 29.59 and the wind blew a moderate gale from SW backing to S by E accompanied by hard rainsqualls. In the course of the evening the weather moderated. From this information it appears that the typhoon was approaching the vessel from the eastward between the 13th and 15th, and that it passed to the north of the vessel moving westward, probably along the parallel of 15°, between the 15th and 16th. In the absence of detailed observations from the stations in Luzon, the observations telegraphed from Bolinao and Manila at the time being the only ones available, the centre may be placed in 15°, 123° at noon on the 16th and it appears to have entered the E coast of Luzon the same night. The weather was becoming bad at this time both at Bolinao and Manila. At the former station the wind increased to a gale from N during the evening and the barometer had fallen to 29.48 at 7 p. At 6 a. on the 17th the wind had decreassd to a moderate breeze from N. the weather was wet and the barometer had fallen to 29.24. Between 8 a. and 9 a. the

N, wind changed to the SE but was of force 2 or 3 only and no motion was discernible in the clouds. The barometer remained almost steady, the light SE wind continuing until after noon when it commenced to increase in force. The clouds were now coming fast from the SE, but later the direction backed to E together with the wind which at 5 p. (barometer 29.17) had attained the force of a strong gale accom- panied by heavy rainsqualls. At Manila they had storm force of wind from S at 10 a. (barometer 29.37), but at 4 p. it had decreased to a fresh S gale and the barometer which read 29.37 showed a rise allowing for daily variation. The centre was passing probably a few miles to the south of Bolinao during the

morning and the observations indicate that it was not of a sharply defined character but that it embraced a considerable area where gradients were slight or moderate and the winds light. In this respect the disturbance approximated somewhat to the conditions which prevail in the depressions of more northern latitudes. The disturbance had, of course, just crossed the island of Luzon, but next day the disturbance being then in the China Sea this feature was still maintained. The centre was probably situated in 15° 45', 119° 30′ at noon on the 17th. The bark Kitty reported typhoon force of wind from NE at a distance of about 230 miles to the N by W of this position and the S.S. Pronto a hurricane from WSW with a tremendous sea at a distance of about 160 miles to the S by E of the centre. In both cases the wind force would appear to have been over-estimated. The S.S. Sungkiang situated about 140 miles to the NW, or in front of the centre, had a fresh increasing gale from N by E with high confused sea, and the S.S. Zafiro had a fresh NE gale with high sea at the same distance to the N of the centre.

-

At noon on the 18th the centre was situated in 17° 45', 116° 30,' and accepting this position and that for the previous day as correct the disturbance had moved to the NW by W at an average speed of nearly 9 miles per hour during the preceding 24 hours, and thus the notice issued from the Observatory at 4 p. on this day was quite accurate the centre being situated at that time to the SSE of the Colony and distant 270 miles. The barometer had risen much in Luzon since the previous day while it had fallen on the S coast of China and in Hainan. At Hongkong the wind rose to a strength of a strong gale from ENE at 9 p. accompanied by rainsqualls while at Hoihow the wind had increased to a strong breeze from NW at the same hour. At sea very bad weather prevailed over a large area. The S.S. Sungkiang was not far from the centre at noon. In the course of the morning the centre had passed very close to the vessel. The barometer fell to its lowest point (29.09) at 5 a. and the wind which had been a fresh NNE gale at 2 a. decreased and became light and variable at the former hour. The sea decreased with the wind, the rain ceased and the sky partially cleared. At 8 a., the barometer having risen to 29.17, the wind increased to a strong breeze from S and rain set in again, but it was not until 4 p. that the strongest winds were experienced. At this hour the barometer had risen to 29.42 and they had storm force from S with rainsqualls and a mountainous sea. A sea anchor was put overboard at this time but the weather moderated in the course of the evening. The observations made on board this vessel show clearly that the gradients were steepest and the wind strongest at a long distance from the centre and also that the gradients were steeper and the winds stronger in rear than in front of the centre. The bark W. le Lacheur was at noon at a distance of 160 miles to the 'S by W of the centre. During the early morning they had experienced a whole gale from W by N and she lost some small sails in a heavy squall. The remainder were furled and the ship was kept before the wind under bare poles. The wind was backing steadily towards SW and the heavy turbulent sea which was running caused considerable damage aft. The steering gear was carried away at 2 p., but it was repaired and used again with the aid of relieving tackles. In the course of the evening the weather moderated. The bark Kitty, hove to on the starboard tack, was at a distance of about 130 miles to the NE of the centre at noon. Typhoon force of wind from NE and ENE was experienced during the morning and at 7 a. the fore and main rigging carried away. The lowest recorded reading of the barometer, 29.29, was made at 4 a. In the afternoon the wind veered to ESE with rising barometer, the weather moderating late the same evening. The S.S. C. H. Kian at a distance of about 160 miles to the W by S of the centre at noon had the barometer falling and the wind increasing from the WNW accompanied, by continuous heavy rain. The vessel wisely stood back to the southward and had the barometer rising and the wind backing to WSW, but the force increased to 10 and 11 accompanied by torrential rain and a heavy cross sea. The S.S. Japan left the harbour of Hongkong about an hour after the warning gun was fired, her destination being Singapore. During the evening the barometer was falling and they encountered a whole gale from NE with a high sea. They stood to the E and SE, but the weather did not improve and the barometer continued to fall.

On the 19th at noon the centre was situated in 20° 00,′ 112° 00,' i.e., at a distance of 180 miles to the SW of Hongkong and 90 miles to the E of Hoihow. At the former station the barometric minimum occurred near 4 a. when the reading was 29.45. The wind was at this time from ENE and blowing with the force of a strong to whole gale. The highest hourly wind velocity recorded by the anemograph was 67 miles at 10 a. the direction being E by S. After this hour the wind continued to veer with the force gradually decreasing. At midnight a moderate gale was blowing from SE and the barometer had risen to 29.73. Rainsqualls prevailed throughout the day, the fall amounting to 3.10 inches for the 24 hours. The centre passed a few miles to the NE and N of Hoihow and entered the Lei Chau peninsula during the evening. At the Hoihow Custom House the barometer attained its minimum, 28.99, at 5 p. The wind increased to a whole gale from NNW during the morning of this day backing to NW and blowing with storm force in the afternoon accompanied by violent rain squalls. In the course of the evening the wind backed to W and decreased to force 6 at 10 p. when the barometer had risen to 29.19. The S.S. Alwine which was lying in this port recorded the wind as SSW of force 5 at 10 p. and as S of force 11 at midnight. The centre was advancing towards Pakhoi during the evening and the wind there had increased to a strong gale from NNW at 9 p. and the barometer was falling quickly. At sea the S.S. Japan was to ENE of, and distant about 150 miles from, the centre at noon. The barometric minimum, 29.23, was observed at 4 a. and after this hour

706

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

the wind gradually veered towards SE blowing with the force of a strong gale accompanied by hard rainsqualls and a very high sea. Late the same evening the weather improved, the wind veering to S and decreasing. The S.S. Chowfa experienced a heavy W backing gale at a distance of 160 miles to the SW by S of the centre. The I. M. C. C. Likin situated a few miles to the west of Hoihow experienced winds of storm and typhoon force from NW during the afternoon, the direction backing to SW the same evening. The S.S. Frejr put into Guie Chau harbour (21° 01, 109° 06′) near Pakhoi for shelter at 7 p. and experienced storm force of wind from NNW until 2 a. on the 20th when with the barometer at its minimun, 29.22, the wind abated and the weather improved. The baro- meter did not rise until after 4 a., but the wind had backed to SW of force 5 at 6 a. The centre thus passed to the north of the vessel at about 3 a. at which hour it was, in fact, passing over or very near Pakhoi. At this station the lowest reading of the barometer, 29.05, was registered at 2.45 a. and at the same time the wind which had been a strong gale from NNW died away to a calm which lasted until 3.15 a. when a light breeze sprang up from SW to S and the barometer commenced to rise. At 6 a. the reading was 29.32 but the wind was not recorded. The disturbance had apparently filled a little while crossing the Lei Chau Promontory.

   At noon on the 20th the centre was probably situated on 22°, 107°, i.e., at a distance of about 100 miles to NNE of Haiphong where the barometer had fallen and a strong W breeze prevailed on the afternoon of this day.

This typhoon traversed the China Sea with a mean direction of W 31° N or, roughly speaking, its course was to NW by W. The average hourly rate at which it moved, increased from rather less than 9 miles per hour between the 17th and 18th to 12 miles per hour between the 18th and 20th. The depression appears to have deepened during its passage across the China Sea, but the change was probably not considerable. On an average winds of the strength of a whole gale or force 10 blew at a distance of 150 miles from the centre in all azimuths while the disturbance was in the China Sea.

   September 22nd, 11.15 a. "The barometer is falling again at Bolinao and in S. China and there are some indications of a distant depression to the Eastward in the Pacific. In Hongkong, light variable winds and fair weather."

   September 23rd, 11.14 a. "The depression indicated yesterday morning appears to be situated to the E of the Balingtang Channel at present."

   September 23rd, 11.25 a. "In Hongkong, barometer falling with light N winds and fair to showery weather.'

Between the 21st and 22nd of September a decrease of pressure amounting to about 0.07 inch took place in S Formosa and Luzon. Light breezes from W prevailed at Manila and Bolinao and at South Cape a moderate breeze from NNE. These observations together with those made on board the bark Amy Turner, which was situated far to the Eastward in the Pacific, faintly indicate the existence of a depression (XV) to the E of N Luzon. It may have been central in about 18°, 125°, but this is very uncertain.

   On the 23rd a further very slight decrease of pressure amounting to 0.02 or 0.03 inch had occurred at Bolinao, Manila and South Cape (Formosa). The barometer had also fallen to the extent of about 0.05 inch on the S and SE coast of China. At South Cape the wind, which was of the strength of a moderate or fresh breeze only, veered from N at 3 a. to SE at noon, but it backed again at 3 p. to NE and blew from this and an ENE direction for the remainder of the day. The weather was showery. At Bolinao and Manila light airs and breezes prevailed backing from WSW in the morning to SW in the afternoon. The sky was clouded at both stations. The observations are insufficient to give the position of the centre on this day with accuracy, but as an approximation it may be placed in 19°, 121° at noon. There was no well defined barometric minimum either at South Cape or Bolinao on this day and when it is considered that winds of no more than force 5 prevailed at the former and of force 2 at the latter, although the centre was passing between the two stations at a distance of about 175 miles only, it is evident that the disturbance was either one of slight intensity or that the area comprised by a low barometer and violent winds was a small one at this time.

On the 24th at noon the centre was situated in 19° 45,' 116° 45'. Assuming the position given for noon of the 23rd to be correct, the disturbance had thus moved towards W, about half a point northerly, at the rate of 10 miles per hour during the interval. At Hongkong the Red Drum was hoisted at 11 a. on the former date as the centre of the depression was believed to be at a distance of just beyond 300 miles to the SE of the Colony, whereas we now see that it was situated to the SE and distant 220 miles only at this hour. The weather forecast was, therefore, made on the assump- tion that the disturbance was, firstly, one of no great intensity-and, in fact, it was hardly discernible from the observations telegraphed at the time from the stations-and secondly, that it was moving westward and therefore likely to pass at a distance of about 250 miles to the S of the Colony the next morning.

Fisher Island, South Cape and Breaker Point are not telegraphic reporting stations and the Hoihow observations were, as usual, not received. On an examination of the noon observation made at the coast stations on this day, those made at the above stations being also now given, it may be seen how little evidence is furnished of a depression of the intensity of the one which in reality existed. From the sea observations it is found that the disturbance, although small, was a violent one and also that the course which it had taken during the 24 hours ending at noon on the 24th, viz., to west, was changed to NW by W during the evening. For these reasons, as will presently be seen, the weather forecast issued on the morning of the 24th failed, and the failure arose, firstly, from the fact that the depression, as indicated by the observations, was not considered to be of great intensity, and secondly, from the alteration of course which occurred during the latter part of the day.

The changes which had taken place at the coast stations since the previous day were a slight increase of pressure at South Cape and Bolinao and a slight decrease at Hongkong. Winds were light at the two former stations, the weather being showery at Bolinao. At Hongkong, the decrease of pressure amounted to 0.03 inch only during the preceding 24 hours, and at noon the barometer read-

ing was but 0.08 inch below the normal of the month. It was not until after 6 p. (29.68) that a steady but moderate fall commenced, but after 10 p. (29.70) the fall became a rapid one and at mid- night the reading was 29.63. Calms and light airs from various directions prevailed during the morning, but after noon the direction became northerly of force 2. A slight thundershower occurred at 3 p. with the wind at E, a moderate breeze, but later it fell light again from a N to NE direction. At 8 the centre being then distant 130 miles only to the SE of the Colony, the wind increased to a moderate breeze from NE by N which continued until 10 p. At the latter hour lanterns, indicating bad weather, were hoisted, and at 11 p. the wind had increased to force 7 and the gun was then fired, and notice given of the approaching gale. Lightning was seen in the west at this hour and the sky which had been partially clouded only during the day was now overcast. At Breaker Point, the barometer was practically steady the whole day, but the wind increased to a strong breeze from NE during the evening and the weather became showery.

This typhoon was in marked contrast to the preceding one in respect of the area affected. On September 18th, while the previous typhoon was in the northern part of the China Sea, the isobar of 29.70 was situated at a distance of about 500 miles and fresh gales prevailed at a distance of about 250 miles from the centre in the northern semicircle while in the disturbance now under consideration, although the depression at the centre was probably greater by about 0.25 inch, the isobar of 29.70 was situated at a distance of about 150 miles only and no more than moderate breezes prevailed at a distance of between 150 and 200 miles from the centre. Small typhoons of the latter class are, there- fore, especially dangerous as they give so short notice of their approach as indicated either by decreas- ing pressure or by increasing wind force.

At sea on the 24th the bark Japan encountered the centre at 8 p. The first observation of the barometer they entered in the log book was inade at noon and, at that time, the vessel being situated at a distance of about 80 miles to the NW of the centre they had a whole gale from ENE with rain- squalls and a high cross sea. The wind backed to NE and blew with typhoon force at 4 p. (29.05) and at 8 p. they had the barometric minimum, 28.55, and the wind fell calm for about half an hour, the sky remaining dark and rain continuing to fall. The wind came again from SE, of force 12, with rising barometer. No further information is given as to the wind, but the barometer reading 28.75 is given for 9 p. and 29.35 for 10 p. which gives the enormous gradient of about 0.9 inch in 15 miles if these observations are correct. The vessel sustained considerable damage aloft, her starboard bulwarks were stove in and the vessel sprang a leak, but next day she was able to proceed back to Hongkong. The S.S. Progress was steering for Hongkong and experienced a whole gale from SW during the morning backing to S and SSE and decreasing towards the evening. At 8 p. the baro- meter had risen to 29.69 with the wind a fresh gale from SSE. At noon this vessel was to the SSE of the centre at a distance of about 80 miles. The S.S. Lightning was at a distance of 170 miles to W by N of the centre at noon and steering for Hongkong. At 8 p. the wind increased to a strong breeze from NNW accompanied by high sea and swell, but the barometer which read 29.73 showed little or no fall since noon. At midnight, the barometer having begun to fall quickly, the vessel was very properly turned round and they stood to the SSE. The S.S. Machew also steering for Hong- kong had the wind increasing suddenly from the N during the evening.

At noon on the 25th the centre was situated in 21° 40,' 113° 10,' and it must have entered the coast near St. John's Island about two hours later. The disturbance had maintained its speed of about 10 miles per hour between this and the preceding day, but its course had been changed to NW by W. It passed about 60 miles to the SSW of Hongkong at 9 a. at which hour the barometer, which had fallen rapidly during the early morning, registered the minimum, 29.42. The wind had increased to a strong gale at 4 a. from NE by E and at 6 a., when the gun was fired two rounds indicating that typhoon force of wind might be expected, a whole gale from ENE was blowing, the record of the anemograph showing a velocity at the rate of 67 miles per hour. At 8 a. typhoon force was expe- rienced from ENE which continued until after 10 a. the direction having in the meantime veered to E by S. The highest hourly velocity registered by the anemograph was 86 miles for 9 a. After noon the wind rapidly decreased in force and at 3 p. a moderate gale only from SE was blowing and this continued until midnight when the barometer had risen to 29.75. Heavy rain fell in the squalls throughout the day, the total precipitation for the 24 hours being 5.78 inches. At Gap Rock the barometric minimum, 29.10, was at 10 a. with typhoon force of wind from ESE. At Macao, the baro- meter fell to 29.24 at 11 a. the strongest wind, a fresh gale from E, being recorded at this time. 8 the barometer had risen to 29.63 and the wind had decreased to a gentle breeze from S. At Hoihow, a strong W breeze prevailed during midday, but it decreased in the evening. The weather was rainy accompanied by thunder and lightning.

  The S.S. Machew had the centre passing just to the north of her position at 10.30 a. At mid- night of the 24th their barometer read 29.67, but it then fell with great rapidity to 29.44 at 4 a. on the 25th, the wind at the same time increasing to a strong or whole gale from NE and N. At 8 a. the barometer read 29.15 and the wind had backed to NNW of force 11 to 12. At 10 a. it was from NW by W and half an hour later the barometric minimum (28.58) was registered. At 11 a. the wind had backed to SW by W and the barometer commenced rising. At 4 p. the wind was from S of force 10, decreasing, and the barometer had risen to 29.46. The S.S.

Lightning, in the lefthand semicircle, had the lowest barometer reading (29.34) at 6 a. with typhoon force from W at 8 a. Several vessels at a distance of about 150 miles to the SSW of the centre had only light and moderate breezes from W and SW, but behind the centre moderate to fresh gales prevailed at a distance of about 150 miles.

On the 26th the Pakhoi observations showed some slight traces of the recent typhoon which had

apparently continued to move towards NW by W on the mainland.

   A rapid decrease of pressure took place at Bolinao and Manila between the 26th and 27th September accompanied by increasing N and NW winds, and it appears that Typhoon XVI was approaching the E Luzon coast from the ESE on the morning of the latter day. At Bolinao the wind increased from N during the evening and blew very hard from NW veering to NE during the early part of the night but decreasing towards the early morning. At 6 a. on the 28th the barometer had fallen to the minimum, 29.35, and shortly afterwards the wind veered to SE but remained light until 10 a. at which hour it had increased to a moderate gale. The centre thus passed a little to the South of Bolinao near 6 a. and at noon it was situated in 16° 00', 119° 00'. To the WNW of this position at a distance of about 100 miles the sailing vessel Sintram experienced a strong N gale. The weather had been dry and sultry during the morning but rain commenced falling about noon. At midnight the barometer had fallen to 29.38 and the wind had decreased and was then light and variable. The lowest recorded reading of the barometer, 29.30, was made at 4 a. on the 29th with the wind at S moderate but freshening and increasing to a gale later on. They used oil to smooth the heavy cross sea which prevailed with good effect. The centre evidently passed near or over the vessel between midnight of the 28th and 4 a. of the 29th, and it appears to have been of considerable area. At noon on the latter date it was probably situated in 17° 45', 115° 45'. Its average speed since noon of the previous day had been at the rate of nearly 9 miles per hour. The Sintram was the only vessel that was moderately near to this position but on reference to the marine data it is seen that very bad weather prevailed over a large area. The steamships Framnes and Chingtu had whole gales from NNE and NE in the N quadrant at a distance of 230 miles from the centre, and in the SW quadrant moderate to fresh NW to W gales prevailed at a distance of between 250 and 300 miles.

   At noon on the 30th the centre was situated in 20° 30′, 111° 30,' i. e., at a distance of 180 miles to the SW by W of Hongkong and 70 miles to the ENE of Hoihow. Its average rate of progression had increased and it had moved at the rate of about ten and a half miles per hour since noon of the 29th. At Hongkong the barometric minimum, 29.57, occurred near 6 a. with the wind a whole gale from E, gradually veering towards SE. The sky remained overcast but after noon the rain ceased. The wind decreased slowly in force and at midnight, the barometer having risen to 29.79, a moderate SE gale was still blowing. At Hoihow the barometer attained its lowest point, 29.25, at 2 p. and storm force of wind from WNW prevailed between noon and 5 p. The force decreased slowly and the direction did not back to W until late the same night. At 9 p. the barometer had risen to 29.39. The course of the disturbance was evidently inclining more and more towards the North during this day. At Pakhoi increasing N. winds were experienced during the day time with falling barometer. At 11 p., the lowest reading of the barometer, 29.32, was recorded and the wind had backed to NW by N blowing with the force of a strong gale. Later the wind decreased but with what change, if any, of direction is not stated. The disturbance must have entered the coast and passed probably at a distance of 50 miles to the E of Pakhoi during the evening and it was perhaps moving towards NW by N or NNW at this time. Next day, October 1st, there are still some traces of the disturbance to the North of this station.

At sea, on the morning of the 30th, the steamships Framnes and Bellona both passed from the right to the left front of the disturbance, crossing the path just in front of the centre at 4 a. when the barometric minimum, 29.20, on board the former and, 29.16, on board the latter, was registered. Winds of storm force from N backing to NW and W were experienced during the morning. At 3 a. next day the Bellona went ashore on North Reef (Paracels) and became a total wreck, the loss of the vessel being attributed to a strong current which had set her to the Southward.

   On the 1st October pressure commenced to give way again in Luzon and on the 2nd typhoon XVII was evidently approaching the island, in about 15° latitude, from the ESE. At Bolinao they had a strong NW breeze at 6 p. with the barometer falling fast. During the night a furious gale from NW accompanied by rain prevailed at this station and at 6 a. on the 3rd the barometer had fallen to 29.16 with a gale from NE. At 8 a. the mercury rose to 29.25 and the wind veered to SE of force 6 and at 10 a. to S. of force 7 with the barometer reading 29.45 at the latter hour. The centre there- fore appears to have passed almost over or at a very short distance to the South of the telegraph

station at 7 a. and to have then entered the China Sea. At noon it was situated in 16° 45', 118° 45.' There was no vessel near this position, but the S.S. Rheingold had an increasing NNE gale at noon at a distance of about 175 miles to the NW of the centre.

The barometer was falling on the S and SE coasts of China, but at present the weather was fine and the winds light.

   On the 4th at noon the centre was situated in 19° 30′, 115° 00′ and the disturbance had thus moved towards NW about half a point westerly at the rate of rather over 11 miles per hour, so that when the gun was fired at Hongkong and notice given of the approaching gale the centre was situated at a distance of 190 miles to the SSE of the Colony.

Pressure had increased in Luzon and in Formosa, but had decreased at Hoihow and Hongkong particularly at the latter station where it continued to fall at the rate of about 0.01 inch per hour during the latter part of the day with the wind gradually increasing. At midnight a strong gale from E was blowing accompanied by rain and the barometer had fallen to 29.63.

   At sea the S.S. Rheingold about 50 miles to ENE of the centre had typhoon force of wind from SE decreasing during the evening. The S.S. Siam had a whole NNE gale at a distance of 90 miles to the NW or in front of the centre. They ran to the SW and had the wind of storm and typhoon force, backing to NNW at 4 p. with the barometer at its lowest point, 29.39. Later the barometer rose and the wind gradually backed to W decreasing slowly. They noted lightning in the W during the evening. To the WSW of the centre at a distance of about 80 miles the S.S. Glamorganshire had a whole WNW gale backing to W. A heavy cross sea prevailed and her decks were constantly filled with water, but during the evening they made use of oil on both sides of the vessel which had a good effect in smoothing the sea.

At noon on the 5th the centre was situated in 21° 45, 113° 35′ or about 20 miles to the west of Gap Rock, and between 2 p. and 5 p. it was passing over or perhaps a little to the east of Macao at the slow rate of about 6 miles per hour only. At 9 p. it was situated between Hongkong and Canton at a distance of 30 miles to the NW of the former and 40 miles to the SE of the latter. Since early morning its course had been more and more towards a northerly direction and during the evening it had gained a NNE course. It was thus recurving on this day to the west of Hongkong, and as a consequence of the recurvature and the fact that the disturbance moved slowly during this act, the Colony, being in the righthand semicircle, experienced a strong gale, veering from NE to SW, for no less than 30 hours, viz., from 9 p. on the 4th until 2 a. on the 6th, the wind rising to typhoon force for a few hours on the 5th. The barometric minimum (29.20) occurred about 5 p. on the latter day with the wind, from SE by S, of full typhoon force. Unfortunately the velocity apparatus of the Observatory anemograph was broken by the wind, probably at 4.30 p., and the exact record of velocity was therefore lost but from estimations the wind was considered to be at its worst between 4.30 p. and 6 p., the squalls during this time being very severe. It is, however, doubtful whether the maximum hourly velocity as yet registered by the instrument, viz., 89 miles per hour, during the typhoon of September 10th to 11th, 1884, was exceeded although some few of the squalls on the present occasion were undoubtedly of very great violence. Some damage to property resulted, several houses being unroofed and a few partially demolished, but it does not appear that any very consider- able damage to structures of a substantial character took place. The telegraphic lines suffered severely and many fine trees were uprooted, but for the latter the heavy rain (10.19 inches in the 24 hours) which fell in torrents the whole day was, perhaps, to some extent, responsible. Several launches and junks which had sheltered in Yaumati Bay during the morning, the wind being then from E. and SE, drove ashore during the evening when the wind got round to SW, but otherwise no damage occurred in the harbour although two or three sailing vessels dragged anchors.

The sailing vessel Barcore was situated at noon on the 5th a few miles to the SSW of Gap Rock, · and the centre must have passed almost over the vessel between 9 a. and noon during which interval the wind lulled and her decks were crowded with butterflies and land birds. The vessel was very much dainaged and was saved with difficulty. The barometer is stated to have been rising at noon, but no readings were entered in the log book.

  On the 6th the disturbance was filling up between Canton and Swatow. Pressure had increased very considerably over N. China between the 4th and 6th and it appears that the depression was unable to make any progress in a northerly direction in consequence, and that its course was directed more and more to the eastward and towards the neighbourhood of Swatow on the 6th, It appears to have completely broken up during the evening of this day, the moderate S winds which had prevailed in the neighbourhood of Swatow during the day with steady barometer giving place to NE winds which set in there with great force during the evening accompanied by rising barometer.

   From the weather experienced on board the sailing vessels Berlin, Atlantic, and Wandering Jew between the 13th and 16th the approximate track of typhoon XVIII during this period has been determined. The centre passed to the north of the Wandering Jew between noon of the 13th and noon of the 14th, a gale from WNW gradually backing to SW and decreasing being experienced by this vessel during this interval. On the afternoon of the 14th it passed probably at a distance of about 50 miles to the south of the Berlin. The vessel was under bare poles and they experienced winds of typhoon force from NNE in the morning veering to E and decreasing in the afternoon. On the 15th at noon the centre was close to the Atlantic. They experienced a typhoon from N in the ntorn- ing backing to W in the afternoon. In the evening the wind backed still further, to SW and S, and moderated.

   On the 16th the centre was situated between the ship Atlantic and the E coast of Luzon and pressure had begun to give way at Bolinao and Manila with increasing winds from N at Bolinao. On the morning of the 17th the disturbance was approaching the E Luzon coast probably in about 17° latitude. The barometer fell fast at Bolinao during the day with a strong NW breeze and rain, and at Manila a fresh breeze from WSW prevailed in the afternoon. The barometer was rising at Bolinao carly next morning, the 18th, and the wind had backed to SW of the strength of a light breeze. The centre was probably situated in 18° 15,′ 119° 30′ at noon on this day and about 100 miles to the NE of the S.S. Esmeralda. This vessel experienced a strong gale from NW in the morning backing to SW in the evening. The lowest barometer reading (29.54) was recorded at 10 a. The disturbance

which had moved on a W by N course while in the Pacific appears now to have been moving towards NW. The S.S. Continental at a distance of about 200 miles to the N by W of the centre at noon experienced a whole gale from NE veering to ENE during the evening with falling barometer. The centre passed a little to the west of this vessel at 10 a. next morning, the 19th, when they had a typhoon force of wind from SSE with the lowest reading of the barometer, 29.49. At 4 p. the wind had veered to SSW of force 8 and the barometer had risen to 29.66. At noon the centre was situated in 20° 30,′ 118° 15′, and it had thus moved to the NNW since noon of the 18th at the rate of 6 miles per hour.

Its speed had decreased very much and it appears to have already cominenced to fill up. The bark Bylgia, which had been trying to round, the South Cape of Formosa for several days, experienced typhoon force from E veering to ESE during the afternoon with the lowest barometer (29.62) at 2.30 p. The vessel became leaky and sustained considerable damage. The disturbance was at this time moving towards the SE Coast of China, but the barometer ceased falling there during the evening and next morning it was rising at the stations on this part of the coast. Although the disturbance had filled to a great extent it yet remained a cyclonic depression at noon on the 20th when the centre was situated in 21° 30,′ 117° 45,' and it had thus only progressed about 60 miles to the NNW during the preceding 24 hours. The Bylgia still had a whole SE gale at a distance of about 50 miles to ENE of this position, but the barometer had risen much since the previous day. During the evening the wind backed to E and decreased with quickly rising barometer. It appears that the depression had now completely filled up and all traces of the disturbance had disappeared the next day.

December.

   A small typhoon (XIX) was encountered on December 25th by the S.S. Chelydra off the Cochin China Coast while on a voyage from Singapore to Hongkong.

25th, from 8.30 a. to 4 p., vessel hove to.

This typhoon was preceded by anticyclonic conditions over China where, however, pressure gave way rapidly between the 22nd and 24th. Between the 23rd and 24th pressure decreased quickly in Luzou and Cochin China also, and the disturbance probably had its origin to the West of Palawan in about 9° to 10° Lat. at this time. The French Mail steamer Natal, on board of which vessel was the Director of the Hongkong Observatory, had left Saigon bound for Hongkong at midnight of the 23rd. On the afternoon of the 24th the barometer fell somewhat, the sky became overcast, the wind freshened from the NE and a heavy swell from NE was encountered. The S.S. Chelydra, position at noon is not stated, also had the wind increasing from N by E on the morning of this day. At the same time the barometer commenced to fall and the weather became wet and squally. On the 25th the accom- panying log of the S.S. Chelydra clearly shows that the disturbance was passing from the E to the N of the vessel, the centre probably being situated in about 11°, 112° at noon apparently moving towards NW or WNW. The vessel was hove to from 8.30 a. to 4 p. after which hour her course was apparently resumed, but it was not until next morning, the 26th, that the barometer rose decidedly and the wind backed to the southward and decreased.

   The centre would appear to have entered the Annam Coast near noon on the 26th in about 12° latitude. At Cape St. James, the wind backed to NW in the afternoon, but complete observations from this station are not available.

REPORT.

INSPECTION OF ANIMALS.

   No cases of infectious or contagious disease amongst animals imported for slaughtering purposes * occurred during the year.

There was rather a short supply during June and July owing to the plague outbreak.

  I believe it is not yet decided to erect Reception Lairs for animals as recommended in my annual report as far back as 1888. They were also strongly recommended by the late Retrenchment Committee.

The sheep and swine permanent depots at Kennedytown were completed by the end of the year handed over to the Sanitary Department on December 31st.

and

  It has been stated by some members of the community that the plague epidemic was originally brought into the Colony by swine imported from Hoihow, but I have yet to learn that the disease is communicable to swine, or cattle, in any shape or form.

CATTLE DEPOTS.

  The health of the animals housed in these depots during the year was good, but, as in 1893, their quality was not quite so good as it might have been.

  The total number admitted during the year was 16,026, out of which 336 animals were rejected as unfit for slaughtering for human food.

SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

  Victoria.-The new slaughter house at Kennedytown was finished at the end of the year and handed over to the Sanitary Department on December 31st.

  Hunghom. The building is in a good state of repair and amendment, and the number of animals slaughtered therein shows a considerable increase on the figures of the previous year.

  Shaukiwan.--This slaughter house is still privately owned, although as far back as 1890, and again in 1891, I recommended in my annual report that a proper building be erected as laid down in Section 8 of Ordinance 17 of 1887.

  The total number of animals slaughtered in the Colony during the year shows a small decrease on the figures of the previous year, this being due in a great measure, in the case of the cattle and sheep, to the absence of the Fleet during the greater part of the year; and in that of the swine to the exodus of Chinese from the Colony owing to the panic caused amongst them by the plague outbreak.

  This would, however, appear to have been of but short duration, the deficiency extending over the two months of June and July alone.

!

DAIRIES.

Two serious outbreaks of disease amongst dairy cattle occurred during the year.

   On February 26th, I reported to the Board that several cases of contagious pleuro pneumonia had broken out in the herd, the property of the Dairy Farm Company at Pokfulum.

   The Board met that day, and decided that owing to the isolated position of the farm it was not necessary to adopt the radical measure of slaughtering the whole herd, but were of opinion that the strict segregation and subsequent slaughter of all diseased animals, and the immediate inoculation of the remainder of the herd which were not affected, would meet the requirements of the case.

   Fifteen animals contracted the disease and were dealt with accordingly; whilst one hundred and fifty-eight (158) animals were successfully inoculated, with only one fatal result therefrom.

1

   No fresh cases occurred after the herd was inoculated, and the premises were accordingly declared free from disease.

   It is a matter of congratulation that the Board decided to allow the inoculation of the herd, and which proved so successful, rather than adopt the more drastic method of "slaughtering out" which would have cost the Colony at least $20,000.

   There is no doubt that the disease was conveyed to the farm by animals which had been imported from Australia.

   I have frequently tried to impress upon the dairy farmers the risk attendant upon the introduction of foreign animals into their herds, at the same time pointing out the many advantages of colonial- bred cattle. Animals bred and reared in the Colony being naturally less susceptible to fevers, and other tropical diseases.

   The second outbreak was that of cattle plague, or rinderpest, which occurred in two native dairies at Wanchai.

   I reported the matter to the Board on the morning of April 11th, and at a Special Meeting which was held that afternoon, it was decided to slaughter and bury the whole of the animals housed in the two sheds without delay.

   The order was carried out at once, and before midnight the premises had been thoroughly cleansed, and disinfected.

Twenty-six animals in all were destroyed, the owners receiving compensation to the amount of

$1,126.

In this case the disease was brought across by animals imported from the mainland.

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

   In fact I go so far as to say that no animals, either sheep, swine, or cattle, should be housed in the City.

MARKETS.

   Temporary Central. This market was damaged a good deal during the typhoon season, but was speedily repaired temporarily by the Public Works Department.

   Only two or three stalls have been vacant during the year, and these chiefly on account of bad positions.

   Western. The position of the Western market has always made it a very popular one, and it supplies a densely populated district.

The articles of food sold therein are almost entirely for native consumption. In my annual report for 1890, I mentioned that the building was very old, and did not meet present requirements, recom- mending that it be re-constructed upon its present site as soon as possible.

   A Committee of the Board considered the matter, and in a report dated May 19th, 1891, recom- mended that the market be re-built.

Nothing, however, has yet been done.

   Taipingshan.-This market being in the condemned plague area was closed on June 19th. It was never a popular market, and can be easily dispensed with.

Saiyingpoon. My remarks upon the Western market apply equally to this one.

   It is an old insanitary structure, does not at all meet present requirements, and should be re-built as soon as possible.

   Shektongtsui, Wanchai, Sokonpoo, Yaumati, and Hunghom markets are all in a good state of repair, and amendment.

   Shaukiwan.-In my annual report for 1889, I mentioned that this market was far too small, and recommended that accommodation for at least thirty more stalls be provided.

So far nothing has been done.

REMARKS UPON THE MEAT SUPPLY OF THE COLONY.

723

During the past seven years in which I have had control of the food supply of the Colony, many complaints have reached me respecting the inferior quality of much of the beef exposed for sale in the various markets.

Being fully aware of the correctness of such statements, and having gone carefully into the matter, I finally decided to recommend the prohibition of the importation of all dead meat into the Colony.

In three reports dated the 3rd and 21st August, 1894, and 10th November, 1894, I explained the matter fully to the Board, pointing out that all dead meat imported into the Colony was of a very inferior quality, and for that reason alone it was advisable to prohibit it, as it was impossible to condemn the meat, however much emaciated, if not actually diseased; and suggested certain alterations in schedule D of Ordinance 17 of 1887, which I thought would meet the requirements of the case.

of

The Board decided that it was inexpedient to adopt my suggestions upon the ground that such measures would interfere with the importation of meat from Shanghai, Japan and Australia; although in

  my final report, I pointed out that meat from the above places was never exposed for sale in any the markets, and in case it should be at any future period, that a bye-law framed under sub-section 9 of section 13 of the Public Health Ordinance (24 of 1887) prohibiting the importation of all dead meat from the province of Kwangtung would effectually meet the case, mentioning at the same time that the Singapore Municipal Council has just passed a similar resolution--prohibiting the importation of all dead meat-presumably for the same reasons as advanced by myself.

STAFF.

Inspector of Markets.-Inspector FISHER obtained twelve months' leave from June 6th, and Ser- geant WITCHELL of the Police was seconded to act in his stead.

I am pleased to report that this officer has given me great satisfaction, his duties being always carried out in a most able and efficient manner.

Interpreter.-Mr. G. A. Souza has performed his duties satisfactorily.

Watchmen.--These men, as usual, gave me a considerable amount of trouble during the year, and I am glad to say that the Government has decided to replace them with Indian Constables at an early date.

In the course of the year F. P. XAVIER, J. STEWART, A. B. Souza, CHUNAM SHAH, and A. DELGADO were dismissed.

G. J. JOSEPH absconded, and C. S. NORONHA and C. FLETCHER resigned.

The men holding the temporary appointments are F. W. COLLINS, C. DANIELS, MAHOMed Ali, and MEER ALI.

Market Scavengers.-With the exception of some little trouble during the plague epidemic, nothing of importance occurred amongst these men during the year.

The general health of the staff was good.

On the 13th at 10.50 a. "The depression continues to lie over Luzon and neighbourhood." At 11.10 a. Forecast:-"barometer falling: moderate N or NE winds: fine."

On the 14th at 10.45 a. "The depression over Luzon appears to be passing slowly away to the Eastward." At 11.10 a. Forecast:-"barometer steady: moderate NE winds: fine.

On the 11th and 12th a shallow depression lay off the SW coast of Luzon in about 14° to 15° latitude.

On these two days pressure was about 0.2 inch below the normal at Bolinao and Manila and wet weather prevailed at both places winds being light chiefly from an E and SE direction. The S.S. Yuensang experienced strong NE breezes at noon on the 11th in 17° 44, 117° 37′ and on the 12th

in 15° 03, 119° 58′ at noon, the barometer (29.66) having fallen 0.15 inch since the previous day, a moderate SE gale, veering to SW as the vessel proceeded southwards, was encountered accompanied by rainsqualls and a cross sea. Off the Annam coast (barometer about 29.82) and to the S of Hong- kong (barometer 29.90) winds were chiefly light or moderate NE breezes on this day.

Between the 12th and 13th a further decrease of pressure took place in Luzon. At 4 p. on the latter date the following observations were telegraphed :-Bolinao, 29.59 NW 2 o; Manila 29.61 SSW 4 og; but on the 14th the barometer had risen about 0.1 inch at both places gentle NW breezes prevailing at Bolinao and moderate SW breezes at Manila.

In the absence of complete observations the depression would appear to have moved slowly towards NE between the 12th and 14th.

   The Light-tower stands a little to the north-westward of the face of the remarkable cliff which forms the south-eastern extreme of Pei-yu-shan-marked on the British Admiralty Chart No. 1,759 as Shaho Island,-and the Light, which is elevated 345 feet above the level of the sea, should be visible in clear weather at a distance of 26 nautical miles in all directions where it is not obscured by outlying islands.

   The obscuration caused by Nan-yu-shan (Saddle Island) is, approximately, between the bearings N. 42° 16′ E. and N 55° 16′ E., but near its extreme range the Light will show between the two peaks of Nan-yu-shan when it bears between N. 46° 13′ E. and N. 50° 3′ E.

The bearings are magnetic and from seaward.

The tower is round, of iron, 25 feet high, with a total height from base to the lantern vane of 551 feet. The tower, dwellings, and boundary wall are painted white.

  SIR,I have the honour, by direction of the President, to transmit you, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the enclosed report having reference to certain steps which have been taken to prevent the spread of Bubonic Plague in Victoria.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

HUGH MCCALlum, Secretary.

The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

SANITARY BOArd Room,

$

HONGKONG, 7th June, 1895.

  SIR,- Referring to the letter of the Assistant Sanitary Superintendent of the 3rd ultimo setting forth the steps that he had taken in pursuance of the instructions of the then Captain Superintendent of Police conveyed to him verbally immediately after the first case of plague had been reported, we have now the honour to submit the following report for the information of the Board.

SPECIAL SANITARY SERVICE.

3

House-to-house Visitation.

  2. In the attached schedule A will be found a statement of the number of houses visited by the 5 sections of Police and Military told off for this special service. The total number of inspections made by the whole detachinent, consisting of 24 Police and 15 Soldiers, was 41,646.

  3. The examination of houses has gone on with great smoothness and regularity. Throughout, the attitude of the public has been friendly and the conduct of those engaged on the service good. The special instructions which have from time to time been issued to the Police Sergeant or Constable in charge of sections have been promptly and intelligently complied with.

  4. In several instances application has been made by Chinese householders for their houses to be exempted from the inspection on the ground that an invasion of the privacy of their dwellings would be objectionable as in cases of sickness after child-birth, &c. In such cases the searching parties have been promptly directed to omit the inspection. No requests for exemption on trivial grounds

have been received.

  5. Since the 17th of May in consequence of certain confidential information communicated to the Board regarding the existence of plague in the neighbouring Portuguese Colony of Macao, a special watch has been kept on all Chinese passengers arriving from Canton. The Captains and Officers of the river steamers who have been communicated with have expressed their willingness and intention to do everything in their power to meet the possibility of cases of plague arriving here from Macao via Canton. We are informed that suspicious cases of sickness are promptly rejected at Canton; and in the event of the officers observing while en route any sick persons who may have escaped detection. before the departure of the steamer, it has been arranged for the Police Sergeant on duty at the wharf here to be acquainted of the fact the moment the steamer arrives.

  6. Another measure in the nature of a secret service has been adopted for the detection of imported cases, the details of which it is undesirable, in the interests of the public service, to disclose.

758

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JUNE, 1895.

Latrine Service.

7. The order of the Board with regard to the disinfection of the night-soil in the latrines open to the public has been enforced to the utmost possible extent. Three soldiers were detailed for this service to assist the inspectors in charge of the Health Districts. 10,000 lbs. of chlorinated lime have been expended during the month for this purpose alone. At first there was some reluctance on the part of the keepers to comply with the order; but in only one instance did it become necessary to have recourse to legal proceedings, viz., in the case of the Gough Street latrine the keeper of which was fined $25.00 by the presiding Magistrate.

Disinfection of Houses, &c.

8. The 4 soldiers originally detailed for this service in the event of the plague obtaining a firm hold in the Colony were subsequently told off to strengthen the house-to-house visitation parties and to assist the inspectors in the work of their districts.

9. The Board having approved of a reduction from the 1st instant of the number of Police and Military engaged on special sanitary service, 9 men of the Rifle Brigade and 9 European and Asiatic Police were withdrawn from that date. The addition of chlorinated lime to the night-soil in public latrines has been discontinued, but as it was considered desirable to maintain for the present the use of this disinfectant on a modified scale, a number of earthenware pots containing small quantities of the powder moistened with water have been distributed in all the latrines open to the public in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

   10. The following are the details of the new scheme for house-to-house visitation by a party consisting of 3 European Police Constables, 12 Chinese Police Constables, 5 Non-Commissioned Officers and men of the Royal Engineers and 7 Non-Commissioned Officers and men of the Rifle Brigade. The detachment now works in 3 sections instead of 5 as formerly, each section being in charge of a European Police Constable. The extent and nature of the duties of these sections are set forth in the attached copies of the instructions handed over to the 3 Constables, detaile to take charge, on the night of the 1st instant.

11. Only 5 cases of plague are known to have occurred since the day on which the first case was reported, viz., the 29th of April. Not a single case has been reported since the 10th of May. Particulars of these 5 cases will be found in schedule B.

12. 14 persons from infected premises were provided with accommodation in the "marriage" boats or native marine hotels hired for this service and anchored at the back of Stone Cutter's Island. No sickness developed among those segregated. On the 8th of May the last batch was released.

Mezzanine Floors and Cubicles.

   13. In schedule C will be found a statement of the progress that has been made in the eight Health Districts of the City of Victoria in enforcing compliance with the provisions of section 7 of Ordinance 15 of 1894. In all 1,705 notices to remove either the cubicles or cocklofts have been served. A very large number of petitions for permission to allow cubicles and cocklofts to co-exist, which the Board has power to give, have been received. A considerable time must necessarily elapse before the law on this subject has been fully enforced throughout the City. In many instances where compliance with the law will involve considerable structural alterations the parties concerned have placed the matter in the hands of their architects.

Basements.

14. Notices in writing of intention to take legal proceedings after a stated time have been served on the actual tenants, householders and owners of 95 basement rooms in illegal occupation as dwellings. The exact situation of each basement is set forth in schedule D. This return does not include a large number of basements which when first inspected were found to be inhabited and were subsequently vacated after the law had been explained to the occupants and a verbal warning conveyed. A complete descriptive return of all basements in the City and the uses to which they are applied is in preparation.

SETO-UCHI.

(1888) IYO-NADA-EXISTENCE OF A ROCK OFF THE WEST SIDE OF YASHIMA.

  Information has been received from Lieutenant H. Sakamoto of H. I. M. S. Itsukushima, that he has seen an uncharte t rock off the west side of Yashima May 10, 1895, but its exact position was not determined on account of bad weather.

It is said that the rock is named locally Oibori-no-se, and extends some distance.

It was just at low water there when he saw the rock, and he is of opinion that it may probably cover at high water. The rock's approximate position:-

North point of Uwajima Iwatozaki of Yokoshima

(1891) MIHARA SETO-EASTERN ENTRANCE-MEKARI SETO-DOUBTFUL REEF.

  Information has been received from Lieutenant O. Kamimura of H. I. M. S. Yamato, that at 3 h. 28 m. p.m., May 22, 1895, when passing Mekari seto, the eastern entrance of Mihara seto, she felt a slight stroke at a distance of 160 yards northward of the Chodayu beacon, and immediately passed over. From the condition of tide and the draught of water of the ship at this time, this obstruction may be probably a sunken rock having about 24 fathoms over it.

LEAVE REGULATIONS

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

Made by the Captain Superintendent of Police, pursuant to Section 19 of the Police Force Consolidation Ordinance, 1887, (No. 14 of 1887).

I.-EUROPEANS.

Leave at the expiration of Five Years' Service.

  1. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' service, on claiming his return passage, under § 16 of Ordinance 14 of 1887, apply through the Captain Superin- tendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.

  2. Should this application be approved, the Applicant will receive half pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified; subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about three months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.

  3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the half pay, or the difference between his pension and half pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colony, in case he does not return at the period specified.

  4. This period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on such ground as may to him be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections I, II, and III, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

  5. Such leave shall enable the Applicant to count his previous service as regards the time of service required before a pension is granted, and each period of two months on leave shall count as one month's service towards the computation of a pension.

  6. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance

14 of 1887.

  7. If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.

  8. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time constituting any term of five years' service for bonus or passage.

11.-INDIANS.

  1. Leave of absence will be granted to Indians, after each period of five years' service, subject to the following conditions:---

(a) That the Applicant's previous character has been good.

(b) That the leave does not exceed six months, except on special authority.

(c) That the period on leave counts towards the time of service necessary for pension, in the proportion of two months' leave counting as one month's service, and will enable him to count his previous service towards the period of service required before a pension is granted.

(d) If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years'

service.

?

798

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1895.

(e) That half pay is granted for the period on leave, and the return passage of the Applicant defrayed. These amounts will be paid on the Applicant's return to the Colony and re- enlistment.

(f) The number of men on leave will be limited at the discretion of His Excellency the

Governor.

(g) On the Applicant's return he will be sworn in under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance 14 of 1887,

   1. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force, who has completed fifteen years' service and has attained the age of 45 years, at a rate not exceeding 20/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, pro- vided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after fifteen years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60th part of the average annual pay of his rank shall be made for each additional year of such service.

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

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

   The Pension of a Subordinate Officer or Constable, who retires on account of infirmity of body or mind certified by the Colonial Surgeon to have been brought about by his own default or vicious habits, may be reduced by an amount not exceeding one half of the Pension to which such Subordinate Officer or Constable would otherwise have been entitled.

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

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

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

-?

799

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1895.

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

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

  9. Should the Applicant's conduct not have been uniformly good, a modified Pension or Gratuity will be granted. Should his conduct have been decidedly bad, no Pension or Gratuity will be paid.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ths

years

(a) Whether the capacity of the Officer affected to contribute towards his own support is

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

(b) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.

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

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

of the Officer at the time he receives such injury.

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

(c) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60ths; (d) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60tis.

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

  14. When Police Officers are transferred to some other civil employment under the Government of Hongkong or to any other public employment with the sanction of the Governor, they will not, in the absence of any special arrangement to the contrary, retain a claim to pension under these Regula- tions but will be dealt with under the ordinary regulations for civil servants or under such special arrangements as may be made at the time of the transfer.

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month:-

On the 10th at 10.50 a. "There are some indications of the existence of a depression to the SW of Luzon." Forecast:-"barometer falling: fresh or strong NE breezes: fair to showery."

On the 11th at 11.0 a. "The low pressure area appears to be situated in the neighbourhood of the Paracels." Forecast:-"barometer falling: fresh or strong NE to E breezes: unsettled, showery." On the 12th at 10.20 a. "The depression appears to be now situated in the S part of the Gulf of Tongking and to be moving towards NW. At 11.10 a. Forecast:-"barometer unsteady: strong or fresh E to SE breezes: showery and squally.'

  On the 12th at 4.15 p. "The centre of the depression is approaching the neighbourhood of Haiphong." On the 13th at 10.45 a. The depression, moving northward, entered the coast near Haiphong during the night." At 11.20 a. Forecast:---"barometer falling: fresh SE winds: squally and showery."

  The depression indicated above was probably formed to the NW of Palawan between the 8th and 9th of June. This is not clearly established as information is wanting from that part of the China Sea. Calms and light variable breezes had prevailed across the China Sea between the parallels of 10° and 20° on the two or three days previous to the 8th. On this day, however, owing to a considerable increase of pressure over China, NE and E winds, moderate or light in force, became general over the Northern and Western part of the above area. Pressure in Luzon was slightly in defect, while at Hongkong it was about 0.1 inch, and at Shanghai about 0.2 inch, above the normal.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13?H JULY, 1895.

813

  On the 9th the relative conditions as to pressure were almost unchanged. At Shanghai the barometer read 29.96, at Hongkong 29.91, at Bolinao 29.81 and off the Cochin-China coast 29.83. In the latter district moderate breezes from NNW to NNE prevailed; in the China Sea to the N of 15° latitude winds were moderate breezes from NE and E, while at Bolinao a light SE breeze prevailed. On this day there was therefore a tendency for winds to become cyclonic about that part of the China Sea to the NW of Palawan, or perhaps around the position 12°, 117!.

  On the 10th the existence of a cyclonic depression is clearly shown by the observations made at sea, and the centre was situated in 14° 00,' 114° 00′ at noon on this day.

  The schooner Queen City, in the right-hand semicircle, and situated in 14° 43, 116° 16' at noon, experienced a strong ESE veering to SE gale during this day, the barometric minimum, 29.59, occurring at 8 a. The steamships Shanghai, Kutsang, Glenartney and Shantung were all situated at noon in the area comprised by latitude 14° 11, 14° 47' and longitude 112° 12, 112° 36. They were thus directly in front of the advancing typhoon which at the time was moving towards WNW. On board the Shanghai, which was steering S 30° W, a heavy cloud bank was noticed in the E and SE during the early morning and this gradually overspread the sky. At 9 a. a sharp thunderstorm was experienced with strong wind from NNE. The barometer then commenced to fall rather rapidly, but they continued on their course and ran across the path in front of the centre during the afternoon, a fresh gale backing from N to WNW being encountered, the minimum barometer reading, 29.49, occurring at 6 p. The Kutsang, steering about NNE for Hongkong, had a strong breeze from N by W at noon with the barometer, 29.64, falling fast. They rightly turned the vessel round at this time and steered S 15° W experiencing a fresh NW backing to WSW gale which decreased after 10 p. The barometric minimum, 29.43, occurred at 6 p. The Glenartney also bound for Hongkong, had similar weather to the Kutsang at noon, but they were a little later in turning the vessel round and had much worse weather than the Kutsang. The barometer fell to 29.36 at 6 p. and a whole gale and storm from NW backing to S was experienced. The Shantung was hove to at noon in 14° 26,' 112° 36. The barometer, 29.59, was falling fast at the time and a moderate NW by N gale was blowing. The barometer continued to fall and the wind, which was slowly backing, increased quickly in force. Between 7 p. and 10 p. typhoon force of wind was experienced from WSW backing to S, the barometric minimum, 28.97, occurring at 7.30 p. at which hour the centre passed a little to the N of the vessel.

  The steps taken to avoid the typhoon in the case of these four vessels furnish particularly interesting examples for comparison. It is seen that the Shanghai came out in safety by crossing the track in front of the centre, thus passing from the dangerous to the manageable semicircle. The Kutsang, Glenartney and Shantung were all steering for Hongkong, and within a few miles of each other at noon. The Kutsang then turned round in time and ran to the southward. The Glenartney executed the same manoeuvre but a little too late and had much worse weather than the Kutsang, while the Shantung was hove to near the track in front of the centre and in consequence experienced the full force of the typhoon.

  On the 11th at noon the centre was situated in 16 30', 110° 15'. The vessels chiefly concerned on this day were the steamships Erato and Norden and the Chinese Customs' Cruiser Likin. The Erato, hove to, had an increasing NNE gale with rapidly falling barometer during the early morning and at 8 a., the vessel being situated in 15° 54', 110° 23', they had storm force of wind from NNW. Between this hour and noon the wind backed steadily to SSW, typhoon force of wind being experienced from 9 a. to 11 a. The mercury descended to 29.01 at 9 a. at which hour the centre was passing to the NE and N of, and very close to, the vessel. The Norden hove to in the left-hand semicircle, and situated in 17° 43', 108° 19'. had an increasing N gale at noon. The centre passed a little to the E of the vessel at 7 p. at which hour the barometric minimum, 29.11, occurred, with the wind of storm force from NNW. The wind backed to SW at 9 p. and decreased rapidly in force. The Likin at anchor in Yulinkan harbour (18° 12′, 109° 33') was in the right-hand semicircle. The barometer fell to 29.43 at 8 p. and a whole gale from ENE veering to SE, with squalls of typhoon force, was experienced during the afternoon and evening.

  The path of the typhoon inclined more and more towards N between midnight of the 10th and the same hour of the 11th and on the 12th, in the Gulf of Tongking, it was moving towards NNW. At noon on this day the centre was situated in 20 00′, 107° 40′ and about 8 p. it entered the coast to the E of Haiphong where a strong NNW backing gale was experienced during the evening.

Between the 10th and 12th the disturbance moved at an average speed of 11 miles per hour.

  On the 25th at 11.5 a. "A depression appears to be situated near S Formosa." "barometer falling: moderate W to SW winds: fine at first but less settled later."

On the 25th at 6 p.

Forecast:-

          "The depression, apparently shallow, seems to lie over the Formosa Channel and neighbouring coasts." On the 26th at 11.25 a. "The depression appears to be filling up." Forecast :--" barometer rising: moderate SW winds: fair to showery,

814

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1895.

On the 25th a depression with slight or moderate gradients seems to have been central over the Formosa Channel and SE coast of China. Complete observations from these districts have, however, not yet been received. On the 26th the barometer had risen generally around the Channel, the lowest pressure lying near its northern entrance. On the 27th the weather at Nagasaki appears to have been

influenced by a depression to the southward.

  On the 28th at 4.25 p. "A depression appears to be situated to the WNW of Bolinao." On the 29th at 10.45 a. "The depression seems to be increasing in intensity but it apparently occupies. much the same position as yesterday." Black South Cone hoisted. At 11.0 a. Forecast:-"baro- meter falling: moderate NE and E breezes, probably increasing: squally and showery."

Forecast:-"barometer rising: moderate SE to S winds squally and showery to fair."

   Between the 26th and 28th a considerable increase of pressure took place over S. China and gradients became favourable for NE winds which, in fact, spread to the southward into the N part of the China Sea between the 27th and 28th. This appears to have resulted in the formation of au elongated depression across the China Sea in about 18° Lat. on the 28th.

On the 29th the depression became cyclonic although it remained shallow, and it was probably central in 182, 115° at noon on this day. The bark Foohng Suey, which was situated in 17° 12', 113° 55′ at noon, experienced fresh NW breezes in the morning backing to SW and S at night, and accompanied by rainsqualls throughout. The barometer fell to 29.48 at 8 p. when the centre passed. to the N'of the vessel. The S.S. Devawongse was situated in 18° 34', 111° 45' and steering for Hong- kong. Very threatening squally weather was experienced with the wind at NW. At Hongkong (bar. 29.70) a moderate ENE breeze prevailed with wet squally weather.

   On the 30th at noon the centre was situated in about 19°, 113°. The Foohng Suey had a fresh S breeze with rain (bar. 29.52) in 18° 42′, 114° 10', the S.S. Hongkong a fresh NE breeze with rain- squalls (bar. 29.56) in 20° 34', 111° 24', while several vessels situated a little to the south of Hong- kong had strong E breezes with rainsqualls.

   On July 1st the centre of the shallow depression seems to have passed over, or very near Hoihow about 4 p.

      The S.S. Frejr, nearing Hoihow from the Eastward, had the barometer falling with fresh E breezes backing to N at noon. At 4 p. she had come to anchor in Hoihow and the lowest baro- meter reading, 29.45, was then registered, the wind being variable and squally. Later the barometer rose rapidly and a moderate SW breeze sprang up. The direction backed to SSE and increased to a strong breeze during the night.

On July 2nd the depression appears to have passed to the E and N of Haiphong where the baro- meter fell to 29.52 and NW breezes accompanied by rain prevailed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JULY, 1895.

On the 25th a depression with slight or moderate gradients seems to have been central over the Formosa Channel and SE coast of China. Complete observations from these districts have, however, not yet been received. On the 26th the barometer had risen generally around the Channel, the lowest pressure lying near its northern entrance. On the 27th the weather at Nagasaki appears to have been

influenced by a depression to the southward.

  On the 28th at 4.25 p. "A depression appears to be situated to the WNW of Bolinao." On the 29th at 10.45 a.

8. Meters will be read at such times as the Water Authority may direct, not less frequently than three times a quarter. Whenever a meter is read a memorandum of the reading will be left with the occupier of the tenement supplied through it.

  9. For the purpose of calculating the quarterly consumption the difference between two readings of the meter shall be taken.

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

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

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

10. If a meter be found to be out of order; or if it be removed for repair or alteration, the fact will be noted on the memorandum, mentioned in Regulation 8. On fixing a new meter or refixing the old meter a second memorandum will be handed to the occupier of the tenement. The consumption for the time that the meter was out of order or for the time that the service was without a meter will be calculated according to the average daily rate of consumption that obtained during the period between any two successive readings, whilst the meter was in good order, immediately preceding the removal of the meter.

11. If the consumer doubts the accuracy of the meter, which measures the water supplied to the tenement owned or occupied by him; then the meter will, on demand, be tested by the Water Author- ity. The consumer, or any person appointed by him, may be present when the meter is tested. The results of the test will be binding both on the Water Authority and on the consumer; and the quantity of water indicated by the meter, from the first reading of the quarter, as defined in Regulation 9, shall be corrected according to the results of the test.

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

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

12. Meters will be maintained by the Water Authority and all repairs, except those caused wil- fully or negligently, will be made by the Water Authority free of cost to the consumer.

13. The value of the amount of water consumed during the quarter, will be ascertained and calculated in accordance with Regulations 2, 3, 9 and 10 as the case may be. From the sum thus obtained a deduction will be made, equal to per cent. on the annual valuation of the tenement, as defined under the Rating Ordinance, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Government Treasury. Each quarter's account shall be final, and no surplus; shall be carried forward from one quarter to the

next.

14. The price to be paid for the construction, alteration or repair of any services made at the request of the owner or occupier shall cover the cost of the materials used and the cost of labour and super- vision. The Water Authority shall, as soon as practicable, after the completion thereof, present an account to the person who so requested in the form A in the schedule. The amount as shown in such account shall be paid into the Colonial Treasury in cash in full within fourteen days of the presenta tion of the account.

  15. In all cases of non-domestic supply an account shall be delivered quarterly of the amount to be paid for the water consumed in the preceding quarter and for the meter rent in advance. The account shall be in the form B in the schedule, and the amount thereof shall be paid to the Treasury in cash in full within fourteen days of the presentation of the account.

  16. The suspension of the water supply may be effected by severing the pipe, conveying the supply to be suspended or by such other means as the Water Authority may deem necessary.

17. All new services and alteration to old services are to be done in accordance with the instruc- tions of the Water Authority.

  The Water Authority whilst consulting the wishes of the consumer, as far as practicable, reserves the right to determine finally all matters concerning the construction or alteration of services, such as the diameter of the pipe to be used, the manner in which it is to be laid and the number, size, pattern and position of the taps.

  18. Notice of the intention to construct a new service, or to alter or extend any existing one must be given to the Water Authority by filling in a printed form which may be obtained, on appli- cation, at the said Office. This notice (form C) must be delivered at the Office of the Water Authority, addressed to the Water Authority, at least three clear days before work is commenced.

   PERSONAL STATEMENT.-Mr. MCCONACHIE, with the permission of His Excellency the Governor, made a personal statement-

"At the meeting of Council on the 17th April I read out an extract from the Report of the Medical Committee, of which I had the honour of being a member. The fair copy came in to me for signature an hour or so before the meeting of Council I have just referred to.

                                      It was accompanied by the draft copy previously initialed by all members. I compared both copies and found them the same word for word, and appended my signature Knowing that the Ordinance to confer certain powers and authorities on the Medical Officer of Health would come up for discussion that afternoon, I made a hurried pencil extract from the Report in case I might find it useful, and it was from that hurried pencil note I read out. How I came to leave out certain words I cannot explain. It was entirely accidental, and I had no motive and certainly I never intended to do so. I now express my regret to the Government for the omission."

The Colonial Secretary briefly replied.

   NOTICE OF QUESTION.-Mr. BELILIOS gave notice that at the next Meeting of Council he would ask the following question :-

4. The rateable value of the property in the enclosed area of Taipingshan resumed by the Government under Ordinance 8 of 1894 amounted to $58,805 including the old Taipingshan Police Station which was leased at an Annual Rent of $360, and excluding 6 tenements not rated for reason of occupancy, viz., free school and temples.

5. For the ensuing year therefore the rateable value of property in the enclosed area of Taiping- shan amounting to $58,805 has been omitted from the Valuation List of Tenements in the City of

Victoria.

6. By including Interim Valuations, and increasing the rateable value of several tenements some- what under assessed, the amount of valuation for the City of Victoria for the new year 1895-96 is $3,160,874 as against $3,179,999 for present year, or a decrease of 0.6 per cent.

7. The Hill District, Hongkong Villages and Kowloon Peninsula shew an increase as compared with the preceding year, arising from new tenements having been rated for the first time, and aggre- gating an increase of $25,503 or 5·02 per cent.

8. I attach a tabular statement giving a comparison of the valuations for 1894-95 and 1895-96 for the whole of the Colony.

9. The number of tenements reported vacant, and inspected under section 35 of the Rating Ordinance has averaged 250 monthly, a number somewhat in excess of any corresponding month in the preceding year.

The above number, however, does not include some 60 tenements outside the enclosed area of Taipingshan which were closed during the plague and unfit for human habitation, and at this date remain unoccupied.

10. The result of the valuation for the new year has, I venture to conclude, proved satisfactory when taking into consideration that an extensive building area (Taipingshan) representing 417 tenements has been exempted.

The gain in rateable value of the Colony has been $6,378 for the ensuing year or 0·17 per cent. 11. There has been no change in the staff. Mr. CHAN PUI and Mr. IP YUK PUI have continued to discharge their duties satisfactorily.

SIR,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 2nd August, 1895.

of

I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to transmit to you, for the consideration of yourself and your colleagues in the Legislative Council, a copy No. 156 of 27th June, 1895. a despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies in regard to the Military Contribution to be paid by Hongkong towards the support of the Imperial Garrison.

You will learn from this despatch that Her Majesty's Government has decided to fix this contribution in future at a certain proportion, viz., 175 per cent. of the revenue of the Colony exclusive of the proceeds of land sales or premia on leases.

The effect of this will be, so far as the year 1895 is concerned, that the con- tribution will be $353,000 there or thereabouts instead of $384,000 as provided in the Appropriation Ordinance.

Lord RIPON suggests that a permanent Ordinance should be passed appro- priating 17 per cent. of the Colonial revenue to the use of the Imperial Govern- ment as a Military Contribution, thus removing from the arena of public debate, a question which in the past has given rise to some vexation and irritation.

His Excellency fully concurs in this suggestion and trusts that it will recom- mend itself unanimously to the Unofficial Members of Council.

I am also to forward to you for your consideration a copy of a further No. 83 of 3rd April, 1895. despatch from Lord RIPON enclosing an amended schedule of "Barrack Services"

required in the Colony in consequence of the increased Garrison stationed here.

It will be observed that the expenditure on this account will be divided in the proportion of 3rds. to the Imperial and rd. to the Colonial Government, and that the expenditure will be spread over a period of ten years.

The contribution from the Colony for 1895 will be $25,000, and the Governor has been instructed to take a vote for that amount at an early date. These works will doubtless involve a very large expenditure in the Colony which will directly benefit a large number of contractors and many members of the labouring classes, and this expenditure will also indirectly benefit the revenue of the Colony.

         I am to call your special attention to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this despatch and C.O. Cir. 30th Dec., 1894. to enclose at the same time in elucidation thereof a copy of the Secretary of State's

Circular Despatch of the 30th December last.

His Excellency the Governor proposes to call a meeting of the Legislative Council about the middle of this month in order to pass the Ordinance and to take the vote referred to in this letter, and he confidently anticipates that you and the Unofficial Members will agree to these measures, and will support the Imperial Government generally in a matter which is of the greatest importance froin an Imperial as well as a Colonial point of view.

I shall be obliged if after a full consideration of these documents you will announce to me for His Excellency's information the conclusions at which you have arrived.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

HONG KONG. No. 156.

SIR,

(Secretary of State to the Governor.)

DOWNING STREET,

27th June, 1895.

With reference to the last paragraph of my despatch No. 75 of 29th March last relative to the Military Contribution, I have the honour to inform you that Her Majesty's Government, although hitherto adhering to the principle that the contribution, whatever its amount, should be fixed for the time being in sterling, have never lost sight of the fact that it could not consistently with the efficient administration of civil affairs, exceed a certain percentage of revenue, and that if at any time through a diminution of receipts or a fall in the exchange value of silver, the percentage assumed undue proportions, then a case for the revision of the sterling demand would arise; but as a matter of fact during the five years 1890-1894, the average Military Contribution of Hong Kong has fallen consider- ably short of what the Home Government in 1890 considered a reasonable pro- portion of the revenue, namely, one of between 17 and 18 per cent., and even in 1894 it barely reached 17 per cent. As regards the current year, however, owing to the continued low rate of exchange, the contribution if continued at the present rate of £40,000 would amount to nearly 20 per cent. of the revenue.

2. After careful consideration Her Majesty's Government have arrived at the conclusion to fix the contribution in future at a certain proportion, viz., 174 per cent. of the revenue of the Colony. This appears to offer a basis of settlement which is the most likely to be acceptable to all parties, and which can be adopted without an undue sacrifice of the claims of the tax-payers of this country.

3. The expedient of fixing a proportion of revenue as the amount of the contribution, will, I hope, prevent any further feeling of uncertainty and dissatis- faction, and will safeguard the rights of the Home Government as effectually as the expedient of fixing the amount for some years ahead, which was that adopted in my predecessor's despatch No. 8 of 20th January, 1890. In adopting the decision above indicated Her Majesty's Government have been largely influenced by the consideration that so long as the contribution is fixed in sterling the continued uncertainty in the matter of exchange is calculated to cause a greater dislocation in the finances of the Colony than would be caused to the Imperial finances if the contribution is fixed in dollars.

4. It is to be understood that the revenue on which the percentage will be taken shall include the gross receipts from all sources which are now brought into account as revenue, with one exception, viz., the proceeds of land sales, or premia on leases, which are not strictly revenue but the proceeds of the sale of capital assets. The revenue for 1895, less premia on leases, is estimated at $2,018,526 so that a contribution of 17 per cent. would amount to $353,242; and I have now to authorise you to limit the payments for this year to that amount in lieu of the maximum amount ($384,000) provided in the Appropriation Ordinance.

5. When the actual revenue of 1895 is known, should it be found that there was an excess of receipts over the estimate, a further payment of 17 per cent. of such excess can be made. If, on the other hand, the revenue should have fallen short of the estimate the over-payment can be adjusted by deducting 17 per cent. of the deficit from the first instalment of next year's contribution. similar course can be followed in each succeeding year.

6. It would probably be agreeable to all parties, if a permanent Ordinance were passed appropriating a percentage of 17 per cent. of the Colonial revenues to the use of the Imperial Government as a Military Contribution, thus removing what has been a much vexed question from the arena of annual debate.

DOWNING STREET,

3rd April, 1895.

SIR,

With reference to my despatch No. 162 of 5th October last, I have the honour to transmit to you the enclosed amended schedule of Barrack services required at Hongkong, together with an extract from a letter from the War Office to the Treasury, explaining the necessity of adding the provision of a new Hospital to the list of services previously put forward.

2. It is proposed that the execution of these works should be spread over ten years beginning with the current year, and that the cost of the works should be provided in the following manner, viz., that the Colony should, in accordance with my Circular despatch of 30th December last, devote the value of any Military Lands and Buildings that may now be surrendered by the War Department, so far as it will extend, in reduction of the gross cost of the scheme, including the cost of any new sites that may be required, and that the remainder of the cost should be divided in the proportion of two thirds to the Imperial Government and one third to the Colonial Government, that being about the proportion in which the cost of the new fortifications of Hongkong were divided between the two Governments.

3. This proposal, which is, in my opinion, fair and reasonable, is a special arrangement made in view of the large expenditure involved in providing the necessary Barrack accommodation for the increased garrison, and the fact that in this case the cost of the provision of new sites is included in the total charge to be divided between the Imperial and Colonial Governments, instead of being wholly charged to the Colony in accordance with paragraph 11 of my Circular of 30th December last, must not be regarded as a precedent applicable in future cases.

4. It is intended to provide £5,000 in the Army Estimates for 1895-6 towards the expenditure incurred on these Works during this year, and I have to request you to bring the matter before the Legislative Council at an early date, and to propose a supplementary vote of say $25,000 to cover the Colonial share of this year's expenditure.

5. The question of the execution of services to the value to be paid for by the Colony, i e., one third of the nett cost, as referred to in paragraphs 15-17 of the enclosed letter, is a detail which I will leave to you to arrange in consultation with the General Officer Commanding the Troops.

6. You will be given an opportunity of criticizing the plans and estimates of all the new Buildings as you will have learned from the letter to the General Officer Commanding a copy of which accompanied my despatch No. 162 of 5th October last, and if you are unable to come to an agreement with the General upon any point, I have to request you to refer the question to me, as the General Officer Commanding has been instructed to refer such points to the War Office, so that I may be in a position to come to an agreement with the Secretary of State for War upon such points of difference.

I have the honour to be,

   2. The Medical Authorities at the Station have recently made strong repre- sentations in the matter, contending that the time has now come when diseases can no longer be properly treated in such a structure, especially at sea, and in such a climate as that of Hong Kong, where the temperature and other conditions are so variable.

3. It is also necessary that separate wards should be provided for the treat- ment of infectious diseases, and for the Itch, as well as for the reception of lunatics. 4. At present, cases of small-pox, scarlet fever and diphtheria have to be treated as best they can, no official accommodation having been provided for the isolation of patients suffering from these diseases.

   5. The provision of a Hospital on shore-to which special allusion is made in the 10th paragraph of the War Office letter before quoted-has therefore now become a service of pressing urgency, and Mr. Secretary CAMPbell-BannermaN finds it necessary to add this to the list previously put forward.

   6. Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN-having regard to the subsequent correspond- ence has had a fresh list prepared, shewing the order of precedence which should be attached to the services. The list includes the Hospital.

CIRCULAR.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST,

SIR,

(Secretary of State to the Governor.)

DOWNING STREET,

30th December, 1894.

From correspondence which has taken place respecting Colonial Military Lands and Buildings-that is to say, lands the fee simple of which is vested in the Crown represented by the Colonial Government but of which the War Depart- ment has a right of perpetual user for purposes of defence and the Buildings on such lands, in certain Colonies--since my Predecessor's Circular despatch of the 9th of June, 1890, it appears that the exact meaning of the proposals enclosed in the Circular as to the mode of dealing with such lands when no longer required for Military purposes has not been clearly understood.

2. Her Majesty's Government have carefully reconsidered the question and have decided to adhere to the proposals adopted by their predecessors and com- municated to the Colonial Governments in Lord KNUTSFORD'S Circular despatch, and with the view of removing any misunderstanding they have thought it desirable to formulate their proposals in the following terms, viz. :-

"The free surrender to the Colony of all Colonial Military Lands and Buildings no longer required by Her Majesty's Government on the engagement by the Colony that, in the event of lands and buildings being required then or in the future for the defence of the Colony, the Colony shall provide an equivalent for the lands and buildings so surrendered, towards the satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirements, and to that intent the value of the lands and buildings surrendered shall be ascertained and recorded, and any lands and buildings provided out of that value shall be held by Her Majesty's Government on the same tenure as those surrendered."

3. This proposal is based upon the assumption that the Colonial Military. Lands in question constitute a permanent Defence Fund of the Colony, the in- tegrity of which ought to be preserved, in kind or value, even though the original lands themselves may be diverted to Civil purposes. Accordingly, whenever such lands which have been set apart for defensive purposes have, from change of circumstances, or from an altered scheme of defence, or from any other reason, ceased to answer the purposes for which they were set apart, and are in con- sequence surrendered by the Military Authorities, their value should be treated as forming a capital applicable, either immediately or from time to time, so far as it will extend, to providing other lands or buildings which may be required in the Colony for such purposes.

4. Effect would be given to the above proposal in the following manner :-

If the Colonial Government should not desire to retain the lands and buildings to be surrendered, they will be sold in the open market, and the proceeds paid into the Colonial Treasury, when the amount would be entered in a special account to the debit of the Colonial Government. In the event of any new lands or buildings being immediately required for the defensive purposes of the Colony the amount of the above-mentioned proceeds, or a sufficient portion of them, would be paid out as required for the purchase of the new sites, and for the construction of the new buildings; the amounts so paid out being entered in the Special Account to the credit of the Colonial Government. Should the new sites, instead of being purchased from private owners, be located on Crown Lands in the possession of the Colonial Government the necessary lands would be given over to the Military Authorities, and credit taken in the Special Accounts for the market value of the fee simple of the Crown Lands so given over.

5. Should new Lands or Buildings not be immediately required for defensive purposes, the above-mentioned proceeds would stand in the special account to the debit of the Colonial Government to be paid out in the same way in the event of funds being ever required in the future for providing lands or buildings for defensive purposes.

HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

r the Colony desires to retain any lands which the Military up, such lands, instead of being offered for sale, would be valued,

c value of their fee simple at date of surrender would be entered in rcial Account to debit of the Colonial Government, together with the fair selling value at that date of any buildings which might be upon the land. In the event of the surrender of any buildings now existing which in the past were erected at Colonial cost it would only be necessary to record the value of the site. The amounts so entered would be paid out as required for the provision of the lands or buildings for the defensive purposes of the Colony, and the amounts, as in the case of sale, credited to the Colonial Government, the like credit being given in the event of new sites being provided on Crown Lands. Should no new ands or buildings be immediately required the amounts entered would remain to the debit of the Colonial Government until such time, if ever, as lands or buildings should become necessary for defensive purposes.

7. Valuation of land or buildings, when required under the circumstances above-mentioned, should be made by the Colonial aud Military Authorities con- jointly, or, in the event of their disagreeing by an independent and competent surveyor, to be chosen by agreement between the Home and Colonial Governinents, whose report should be final. The cost of employing such surveyor would be borne by the Colonial Government, but should be placed to its credit in the special account.

8. Any lands and buildings provided hereafter for defensive purposes under this arrangement, including land required for rifle ranges or other purposes con- ducing to the efficiency of the garrison, would be occupied by the Military upon a right of perpetual user only, the fee simple of the land remaining in the Crown represented by the Colonial Government. In the event of any such lands being at any time surrendered by the Military Authorities they would be dealt with in the manner above detailed.

9. Before any buildings are commenced the cost of which will be chargeable To the Special Account, the Governor will be informed of the nature and estimated cost of the proposed buildings in order that any observations that he may wish to offer upon them may be duly considered by Her Majesty's Government.

  10. It is not proposed to re-open any transactions already closed and lands which have already passed out of Military occupation will remain the property of the Colony, subject of course to any conditions which may have been attached to them at the time when they came into the possession of the Colonial Government.

11. The foregoing proposal relates solely to the terms on which Colonial Military Lands in the hands of the War Department should be surrendered to a Colonial Government. It does not affect the obligation of a Colony to provide other lands required within its borders for military purposes, whether under some special agreement, or under the general obligation that rests on every Colony to contribute, according to its means, towards its own defence. Whatever the cir- cumstances of a Colony may be it is obvicus within its means to maintain its Colonial Military Lands intact, in money or kind, for defensive purposes.

12. I request that you will lay this despatch before the Legislative Council and convey to them my earnest hope that the proposals of Her Majesty's Govern- ment will be accepted as a fair and equitable solution to the advantage alike of the Mother Country and of the Colony of a question which has in some Colonies been the subject of considerable and prolonged controversy.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 4th May, 1895.

SIR, I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education for the year 1894.

  2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions of all descrip- tions, known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1894, amounts to 232 Schools, with an enrolment of 10,750 scholars. More than one half of these, viz., 5,964 scholars, attended 99 Grant-in-Aid Schools; 2,686 scholars attended 21 Government Schools; 1,757 scholars were under instruction in 104 Chinese Kaifong Schools, and 343 scholars in 8 unclassed public or private Schools. Compared with the enrolment of the preceding year, these figures show a decrease of 45 Schools with 1,373 scholars. This extraordinry decrease is caused by the outbreak, in summer 1894, of the bubonic plague and the consequent removal from the Colony of untold numbers of families and children. But as these figures refer only to enrolment, which was well nigh fixed before the plague commenced, the 45 Schools that have disappeared do not represent the whole injury inflicted by the plague upon local education, but merely the nett number of Schools entirely closed. It will be shewn below that the attendance of the Schools suffered even greater loss than the mere enrolment.

  3. DECENNIAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.--The total num- ber of Schools, subject to supervision and examination on the part of the Education Department (exclusive of Queen's College and Police School), amounted in the year 1894 to 118 Schools, as com- pared with 90 Schools in the year 1884 and 39 Schools in the year 1874. The total number of scholars, enrolled in this same class of Schools during the year 1894, amounted to 7,246 scholars, as compared with 5,885 scholars in the year 1884 and 2,563 scholars in the year 1874. In other words, there has been an increase of 51 such Schools with 3,322 scholars during the ten years from 1874 to 1884 and a similar, but (owing to the plague and the withdrawal of Queen's College) much smaller increase of only 20 Schools and 1,361 scholars.

  4. TRIENNIAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-In the year 1892 there were 130 Schools with 8,277 scholars under the supervision of the Department. In the follow- ing year (1893) there was a decrease of 4 Schools and an increase of 329 scholars, but, owing to the above mentioned causes, a further adventitious decrease of 18 Schools and 1,360 scholars took place in the year 1894.

5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-Referring again to those 118 Schools with 7,246 scholars under the cognizance of the Education Department, there were in the year 1894 as many as 5,964 scholars (nearly five-sixths of the whole number) enrolled in 99 Grant-in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, whilst 1,282 scholars (a little over one-sixth) attended 19 Government Schools receiving a secular education. These secular Government Schools are all Free Schools with the exception of the Belilios Public 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, as well as the Government Schools, offer purely Chinese instruction free of all charge. It is only in the case of Schools giving a European education that twelve of the Grant-in-Aid Schools (9) English and 3 Portuguese Schools) and one Government School (Belilios Public School) charge school-fees, the latter at the rate of half a dollar a month, the former at rates varying from half a dollar to three dollars a month. An absolutely free European education is offered in English by S Grant-in-Aid Schools and 4 Government Schools, and in Portuguese by 3 Grant-in-Aid Schools, whilst an absolutely free Chinese education is offered by 77 Grant-in-Aid Schools and 14 Government Schools.

  6. ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-The havoc wrought by the outbreak of the plague among those Schools which maintained their existence throughout this ordeal, appears very strikingly from the Tables (IV, V, VII, and IX) appended to this report. Comparing the attendance of Schools in 1894, as given in these returns, with the corresponding returns of the preceding year, it is seen that the minimum daily attendance, which in 1893 equalled 64.92 per cent. of the maximum daily attendance, fell in 1894 to 38.80 per cent., and that the average daily attendance, which in 1893 amounted to 78.19 per cent. of the enrolment, fell in 1894 to 61.41 per cent.

884

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

   7. LOCAL DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOLS IN GENERAL.-The injuries which the local distribution of Schools suffered during the year 1894, in consequence of the plague, affected the Saiyingpoon District more than any other portion of the town. In the other Districts, Schools closed through the plague were within a few months re-opened in other houses not far off. While thus the total loss of Schools extinguished by the plague is very evenly distributed over all the Districts of the Colony, each losing from 4 to 6 Schools only, as many as 15 Schools were wiped out of existence by the plague in the one District of Saiyingpun. Of the Schools extinguished by the plague, the vast majority (40) were Kaifong Schools. The changes which the location of the people underwent, in the districts principally affected by the plague, will soon be overtaken by the natural expansion of the Grant-in-Aid system, and I have no doubt that in a few years the educational injuries caused by the plague will be entirely effaced. As tentative measures have been taken both at Kowloon and on the Peak to supply the English families of those two Districts with Schools, there is now not a single District in the Colony left unsupplied with a measure of School accommodation, sufficient at least in proportion to the exist ing demand. I subjoin a Table exhibiting the distribution of secular and religious Schools throughout

the Colony.

   8. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.-The sum total of educational payments made by the Government during the year 1894 ($79,268.14 as compared with $79,413.84 in 1893) amounted, after deducting school-fees and educational refunds paid into the Treasury ($11,896.19 as compared with $12,683.00 in 1893), to $67,371.95 (as compared with $66,730.84 in 1893). The slight increase in nett expenditure is chiefly due to the decrease caused by the plague, in the item of school-fees. The details of educational expenditure incurred in the year 1894 are as follows:-Office of Education Department $5,411.52; Queen's College (after deducting school-fees) $24,321.63; Belilios Public School (after deducting school-fees) $2,777.67; sixteen other Departmental Schools $5,743.07; 99 Grant-in-Aid Schools $25,312.44; Physical Training $192.00; Government Scholar- ships $3,805.62. The nett cost of education ($67,371.95) amounted in 1894 to 2.07 per cent. of the total Colonial Revenue (as compared with 3.22 per cent. in 1893, and 3.29 per cent. in 1892). The total number of scholars educated in Hongkong in 1894 at the expense or with the aid of the Govern- ment being 8,294, the education of each scholor cost the Government (exclusive of two scholarships held in England) $7.66 (as compared with $7.75 in 1893 and $8.57 in 1892). 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 Queen's College $24.57; in Belilios Public School $21.87; at other Departmental Schools $4.86; in Grant-in-Aid Schools $4.23. The Managers of those 99 Grant-in-Aid Schools, who received from the Government in 1894, as Grants-in-Aid based on the definite results ascertained by the individual examination of each scholar, the sum of $25,312.44,

expended 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 $58,950.55.

9. NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE COLONY.-As regards the nature of the education given in local Schools of all descriptions, the vast majority give, of course, a purely Chinese education in the classical Chinese language. There were, in the year 1894, as many as 187 such Schools with 6,538 scholars at work, viz., 95 Kaifong Schools with 1,627 scholars, 88 Schools under Government supervision with 4,689 scholars, and 4 unclassed Schools with 222 scholars. As to Schools giving a purely English education in the English language only, there were, in 1894, at work 26 English Schools with 1,900 scholars, viz., 13 Schools under Government supervision with 1,649 scholars, 9 Kaifong Schools with 130 scholars and 4 unclassed Schools with 121 scholars. But to these must be added the Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Colony, that is to say, Schools in which the English language is taught with the use of the Chinese vernacular (in the lower standards). Of such Anglo-Chinese Schools there were at work, in the year 1894, 11 Schools under Government super- vision with 1,951 scholars. There were further 5 Schools giving to 201 scholars a European education in the Portuguese language, and 3 Schools giving to 160 scholars a European education in the Chinese language.

10. FEMALE EDUCATION.-Leaving the Police School with 356 scholars (men) out of considera- tion, but including Queen's College with its 1,048 boys, the relative numbers of boys and girls under instruction in the Colony stood in 1894 as under:-Government Schools, 1,928 boys and 402 girls; Grant-in-Aid Schools, 3,251 boys and 2,713 girls; Kaifong Schools 1,735 boys and 22 girls; unclassed Schools 102 boys and 241 girls; total 7,016 boys and 3,378 girls. In other words, among the whole number of scholars under instruction in the Schools of the Colony in the year 1894, the girls numbered only 32.49 per cent. This is below the average of the last three years and to some extent caused by the plague which naturally affected girls' schools comparatively more than boys' schools. But the fact is nevertheless quite clear that female education in the Colony is generally in a backward condition, and notably neglected in the Kaifong Schools.

11. NUMBER OF UNEDUCATED CHILDREN IN THE COLONY.-The population of Hongkong, in 1894, has been estimated by the Registrar General, without reference to the removal from the Colony of large numbers of women and children, at 246,006 persons, including 235,224 Chinese and 10,782 persons of non-Chinese extraction (including Army and Navy). On the basis of these figures I estimate the number of children of local school age (6 to 16 persons) present in the Colony, before the outbreak of the plague, at 31,980, viz., 16,950 boys and 15,030 girls. From the returns of this Department, it appears that there were under instruction in Schools of all descriptions during the year 1894, 7,016 boys and 3,378 girls. This would indicate that as many as 21,586 children, viz., 9,934 boys and 11,652 girls of school-going age were not attending School during the year 1894. But as it is certain that a considerable number (say one half) of these boys and girls, 6 to 16 years of age, though not attending School in 1894, owing to their having left School without going through the full course of 10 years' schooling, had previously been for 3 to 4 years under instruction, all that can be said is that the official returns indicate that 9,934 boys and 11,652 girls remained imperfectly educated, and that about half of this number, viz., 4,967 boys and 5,826 girls escaped the education net altogether, and may be put down as remaining uneducated.

. 12. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS.As far as the 99 Grant-in-Aid Schools are concerned, the detailed results of the annual examination of these Schools will be found summarized in Tables X and XI appended to this report, where the grants allowed, and the percentage of scholars passed in each School in 1894, are stated and compared with the results of the preceding year, and in Table XII which records the percentage of passes gained in each subject. As regards the Depart- mental Schools, Tables II to VII supply the most important particulars.

   13. BELILIOS PUBLIC SCHOOL.--The former Girls' Central School (giving an English education to European, Eurasian and Chinese children) having been amalgamated, in December 1893, with two existing Chinese Schools which gave a purely Chinese education, has been denominated, since 1st January, 1894, the Belilios Public School. This School, located in a fine building erected by the Honourable E. R. BELILIOS on the site of the old Central School granted by the Government, has been worked in 1894 as one School in two divisions, viz., an English and a Chinese division. The Chinese division consisted, until the close of the year, of two distinct Chinese Schools under separate Masters, but will, owing to the retirement of one master, whose place has been supplied by female teachers, henceforth appear in the returns as one. The enrolment of the Belilios School stood in 1894 at 402 scholars, viz., 127 in the English, and 175 scholars in the Chinese division. This must be considered as a very satisfactory beginning. The average daily attendance, however, was not so encouraging. It stood in April (before the plague commenced) at 253 scholars and in December at 144 scholars. Owing to the proximity of the building to the centre of the infection, the Belilios School felt the effects of the plague far more than the majority of the Schools under this Department. The results of the teaching given in this School are very satisfactory, and the institution is steadily commending itself to those classes of the population for whose special benefit it has been established."

   14. DEPARTMENTAL DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-Three of the Government Schools were swept away by the plague and will not be re-opened as the Grant-in-Aid system will readily make good the gap. The other Schools weathered the storm bravely and commenced to resume their ordinary aspects

886

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

before the close of the year. New regulations for the conduct of these Schools were issued in March 1894, to amend the old regulations of 1882 with respect to certain illegal practices and particularly to make provision for the more systematic teaching of English colloquial in Anglo-Chinese Schools.

15. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-Five new Grant-in-Aid Schools were opened at the commence- ment of the year 1894, but nine other Grant-in-Aid Schools had to be struck off the list in autumn, as they had been annihilated by the plague and by the consequent movement of the population. In the middle of the year a new district (Tsimshatsui) on Kowloon Peninsula was supplied with an English Grant-in-Aid School by the energetic public spirit which animates the British residents of Kowloon. The Committee which started this School encountered, however, extraordinary difficulties and found themselves unable to comply with all the conditions of the Code. Although recognized by the Government, this School could not be included, during the year, in the list of Schools entitled to a grant, but the Government promised to give to the Committee every assistance to enable them to succeed in their praiseworthy endeavour to make this much-needed School a self-supporting institution. In addition to the School-house at Little Hongkong, the former Harbour Office at Aberdeen' was placed at the disposal of the Church Mission at a nominal rent to use these old buildings for the purposes of Grant-in-Aid Schools. A vacant room in the School-house on Caroline Hill was also leased to the London Mission for use as a Grant-in-Aid School. On 21st May, 1894, a panic spread, like wild fire, and emptied most of the Chinese Schools in town owing to the rumour that the Govern- ment had resolved, in order to stop the plague, to select a few children from each School and to excise their livers in order to provide the only remedy which would cure plague patients. This silly rumour, accredited by the fact that Chinese national custom sanctions the medical use of excised portions of the living human body, gained general credence among the mothers of children attending purely Chinese Schools and served to show how little way has been made yet by the Government of Hong- kong in the direction of making their more enlightened aims understood by the Chinese population. Chinese women in Hongkong do not seem even now to have any more confidence in the Colonial Government than they had some ten years ago when the girls' schools of the Colony were suddenly emptied by the rumour that the Government was about to select a girl from each school to bury the children alive in the Taitamtuk tunnel to ensure the success of the aqueduct. It must be said to the credit of the Managers that not only every effort was made to counteract this panic, but that every- thing possible was done by them to keep all roomy and well-ventilated Schools at work in spite of their depletion by the plague. School Managers and teachers were altogether unfortunate during the year

1894, as regards Grants-in-aid. The grants earned at the close of the year 1893 and payable in February, 1894, had to be subjected to a pro rata reduction of 8 per cent. as the amount earned under the Code ($27,432.78) exceeded the amount available under the vote of the Legislature ($25,370.00) by $2,062.78, and as at the close of the year 1894 the earning power of the Chinese Schools had, under the restrictions of the New Code and in consequence of the plague, so much decreased that the sum total earned as grants for 1894 ($20,388.75), instead of increasing as hitherto had been the case from year to year, fell short of the grant of the preceding year by $7,044.03. This first application of the new Code (1893) to the examination of Grant-in-aid Schools, which have now seven standards and a considerable list of special subjects, gave satisfactory evidence of the wholesome nature of the changes made. The regular gradation, now in force, of all the subjects from the lowest to the highest, has resulted in a greater evenness of results in each. The examinations in Elementary Science and English Etymology clearly indicated that these subjects, which have evidently been taken up con amore by both teachers and scholars, are producing a good effect towards raising the standard of general intelligence among the scholars. At the suggestion of the Honourable Dr. Ho KAI, the Board of Examiners passed, in June 1894, a stricture on the system of teaching English in local Schools for Chinese, which is virtually a repetition of the complaints which I repeatedly made during the last few years. regret to have failed to convince Her Majesty's Government of the reality and serious nature of the defect referred to, which is painfully in evidence by the fact that the promotion of the use of the English language in the Chinese commercial and social life of this Colony makes no progress because it is not materially aided by local Schools. What I refer to, is a Resolution of the Board of examiners which has been brought by the local Government to the notice of the Schools concerned in the following words :-"Resolved, that it is desirable to solicit the attention of the Government to the fact elicited by the examination lately held with reference to vacancies under the Government of Perak, as well as by previous examinations, viz., that in the education of Chinese youths insufficient attention seems to be bestowed in Hongkong on English Colloquial, the Chinese candidates examined by the Board being generally unable to speak English idiomatically." Apart from the plague, the year 1894 has proved disastrous to the educational interests of the Colony also by the extraordinary inroads made by death among local educationists. The death of Bishop RAIMONDI deprived not merely the Roman Catholics of the Colony of their greatest and most energetic educational reformer, but all supporters of religious education of one of their foremost leaders. Ever since Dr. LEGGE established the reign of secularism in the Colony (in 1861), Bishop RAIMONDI was the principal champion in the Colony of local religious education and fought for it long before the Protestant Missionaries burst the fetters of secu- larism in 1879. To the late Mr. C. J. BATEMAN, by whose premature death the High School came to an end, the Colony owes the introduction of the Cambridge and Oxford local examinations. The late Brother PATRICK of St. Joseph's College, whose death in 1894 was by all interested in education in

this Colony felt to involve an irreparable loss was, like Mr. BATEMAN, not only a born teacher but a specially successful tutor in the subjects of secondary education. Both these Masters exercised a very strong personal influence on their scholars who will ever treasure their memory with gratitude.

16. LOCAL EXAMINATIONS. The results of the annual Oxford Local Examinations, held in Hongkong in July 1894, were as under:-I. Junior Division.-Honours List, none. Pass List. Diocesan School, 6 passes; Victoria English School, 1 pass. Candidates, who, having exceeded the age of 16 years satisfied the Examiners,-Queen's College, 5 passes. Successful candidates who obtained distinction, none. Details of examination results of Junior Division:-presented 27; examined 23; passed in preliminary subjects, 20; passed in religious knowledge, fully 5, partly 4; passed in English, fully 20, partly 2; passed in mathematics, 7; passed in drawing, 2. Total of certificates issued to candidates of proper age, 7; to candidates beyond the limit of age, 5. II. Senior Division.--Honours List, none. Pass List,-Queen's College, 3 passes. Successful candidates who, having exceeded the limit of age (19 years), satisfied the examiners, Queen's College, none. Success- ful candidates who obtained distinction, none. Details of examination results of Senior Division:- presented, 13; examined, 10; passed in preliminary subjects, 9; passed in religious knowledge, fully 2, partly 2; passed in English, fully 8, partly 1; passed in mathematics, 3; passed in drawing, 1. Total of certificates issued to candidates of proper age, 3. The foregoing results may be summarized thus-Queen's College 8 passes (of which 5 were obtained by excess of age); Diocesan School, 6 passes; Victoria English School, 1 pass.

17. BELILIOS MEDAL AND PRIZE EXAMINATIONS.-At the annual competitive examinations for Belilios Medals and Prizes (for the year 1894), 30 picked scholars from the principal Schools of the Colony entered the lists viz.:-11 European or Chinese boys, 5 European girls and 14 Chinese girls. The Schools represented in this competition were St. Joseph's College, the Diocesan School, the Victoria English School, the Victoria Home and Orphanage School, the Basel Mission and the Berlin Foundling House School. In the boys' division, St. Joseph's College took the 1st and 4th and the Diocesan School the 2nd, 3rd and 5th prizes. In the English girls' division, the Victoria English School took the 1st and 2nd prizes. In the Chinese girls' division, the 1st and 3rd prizes fell to the Victoria Home and Orphanage, and the 2nd, 4th and 5th prizes to the Basel Mission School.

18. PHYSICAL TRAINING.-An inspection parade of the Cadet Corps was held on 8th January, 1894, and, in result, the Military Authorities, discouraged by the excessive preponderance of alien elements in the Corps, resolved to abstain from giving the local Cadet Corps the status and control which similar Corps are granted in England, and advised that the Corps should be trained in sections at the several Schools. This has accordingly been done. The Military Authorities granted the services of a private, instead of a non-commissioned officer, for the physical drill which has been continued, in 1894, in eleven local Schools.

19. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.-A grant of $2,500 having been made in 1894 to the Roman- Catholic Reformatory, to cover the cost of the surrounding wall and to provide enlarged accommoda- tion, the late Bishop RAIMONDI placed this Industrial School under the Reformatory School Ordinance as a School certified by the Government for the reception of juvenile offenders. A regular Kinder- garten, for the benefit of the children of the poor Chinese residing at Saiyingpun, established by the Rev. G. REUSCH of the Basel Mission (in February, 1894), now gives gratuitous instruction to young Chinese children in the rudiments of industrial work by systematic training of hand and eyc.

20. MEDICAL EDUCATION. At the close of the year four more of the students of the College of Medicine for Chinese completed their curricula, with a minimum period of study of five years. The names of the new graduates are WONG I-YIK, who is certified to have passed his professional examina- tions with high distinction, U I-KAI, LAU SZE-FUK, and WONG SAI-YAN. The College has its head- quarters in the Alice Memorial Hospital, with which and the Nethersole Hospital, it is affiliated for practical purposes, but it is ruled by an independent Court, and the Examiners are professional men who have no other connection with it. The officers and lecturers, all of whom give their services gratuitously, have at the present time ten students under professional training.

  21. SCHOLARSHIPS.-The draft of the revised Government Scholarship Scheme referred to in my last report is still under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. As to non-official Scholar- ships, Queen's College had, in the year 1894, the benefit of 4 Belilios Scholarships, 2 Morrison and 1 Stewart Scholarship. The management of the Morrison Scholarship Fund is in an illegal condition and requires rectification. St. Joseph's College had the benefit of one and the College of Medicine that of 5 Belilios Scholarships coupled with some special grants.

22. I enclose the usual Tables (I to XIII) somewhat reduced in number owing to the with- drawal of Queen's College from the supervision of this Department, it having been placed in 1894 under a separate Board of Governors.

I have the honour to be,

The following Report of the Postmaster General for 1894, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 16th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th August, 1895.

No. 37.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonal Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 6th June, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the following report on the British Postal Service in Hong- kong and China during the year 1894.

2. The approximate statistics of correspondence received and despatched during the year are given in table 4. These figures are arrived at by taking statistics during a period of 28 days and multiplying the results by 13; no very exact conclusions can therefore be deduced from them. But in so far as they may be relied upon they point to a considerable increase in International Postal business as compared with 1893, while the local business appears to have suffered a slight decrease. The heads of International business under which the largest increases appear are--

Ordinary letters despatched, Post Cards,

Newspapers, &c.,.. Patterns,

....

.36%

.55%

31%

..15%

18%

Registered Articles,.

....

3. It should be mentioned, however, that two thirds or more of this apparently large increase is attributable to the fact that the statistical period in 1894 included the date of despatch of the New Year's Mail for Europe, which is always about 50 per cent. heavier than an average homeward mail. The despatch of the Christmas homeward mail is always included in the statistical period (the first 28 days in November) so that the estimate of the yearly amount of correspondence despatched is always somewhat too high, although the fact does not greatly affect the comparison from year to year.

4. A very fair index to the variations in the amount of correspondence despatched is furnished by the value of the stamps sold from month to month. Table H shows these values (for Hongkong only) for 1893 and 1894. The comparison of the amount sold during the first seven months of 1894 with the amount for the corresponding months of 1893 shows an increase of a little over 6 per cent. which is perhaps a fair estimate of the annual rate of increase of the business of the Office. The reason for taking seven months only for the purpose of the comparison will be inferred from paragraph 16

below.

5. There is a decrease of 50 per cent. in patterns received and a small decrease in newspapers received, the other heads of correspondence received showing slight increases.

6. The local correspondence despatched shows a slight decrease in the number of letters, post- cards, newspapers and registered articles. In the local correspondence received there is a decrease of 18 per cent. in newspapers and registered articles, and a small decrease in ordinary correspondence.

7. Table B gives the statistics of parcels received and despatched, and table C gives the com- parison with 1893. The figures shown for parcels to and from the Coast Ports are estimated from statistics taken during 28 days in November; the other figures are exact.

900

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

8. A revised tariff for parcels post came into force on the 1st October, the most important altera- tion being the raising of the postage on parcels to the United Kingdom from 25 cents per first lb. and 20 cents for each succeeding lb. to 40 cents and 25 cents respectively. In spite of this measure, which was rendered necessary by the fall in exchange, the popularity of the parcels post appears to be steadily increasing.

Table D shows the number of parcels posted in Hongkong despatched to Europe by the English nail, with the amount of postage and the insurance fees collected. A reference to this table shows that 3,038 parcels (an average of 152 per mail) were despatched previous to the 1st October, while the mails of the 10th and 25th October and 6th and 20th December carried an average of 203 parcels cach. The Christmas and New Year's Mails are always exceptionally heavy and are, therefore, not taken into account in this comparison.

9. The new regulations for insured parcels also took effect from the 1st October. compulsory to insure gold and silver articles for at least part of their value.

It is now

  10. A parcels post service between Victoria and the Peak was inaugurated on the same day, but the public showed no disposition to make use of it, only two parcels being posted in as many months. It was, therefore, discontinued from the 1st December.

  11. The insurance of parcels to India was discontinued in January. I am, however, again in corres- pondence with the Postmaster General of Bengal on the subject, and hope that a satisfactory arrange- ment will be shortly completed.

12. Table E gives the number of messages received at the Telegraph Room. There is an increase in the number of signals of approaching vessels from Cape D'Aguilar and a decrease under each of the remaining heads.

  13. Table F shows the dates and causes of interruptions in the communication with Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar. The former number six as against eleven in 1893, and the latter ten as against eighteen in 1893.

  14. Table G shows the revenue and expenditure of the department during 1893 and 1894. There is an increase under all heads of revenue except fees for private boxes in which there is a trifling decrease. The most important increase is one of nearly 10 per cent. in the value of stamps sold, which is attributable partly to the increased postal tariff, which came into force on the 1st August, and partly to a general increase in correspondence despatched. The largest relative increase is under the head of profit on exchange on Money Order transactions. This is, however, deceptive. The amount shown for 1894 is the sum paid into the Treasury in that year and represents approximately the profit on the transactious of 1892 and 1893. The profit on the 1892 transactions was not paid into the Treasury in 1893 because it was feared that the heavy loss caused by the closing of the Indian Mints, referred to in paragraph 12 of the Acting Postmaster General's report for 1893, would swamp both that and the profit on the 1893 transactions with other countries, and possibly render necessary a vote to meet the deficiency. Fortunately, this fear was not realized, and but for the loss referred to, amounting to $4,092.00, the business of 1893 would have shown a profit of $7,922.74 as against $2,374.41 for 1892, the large increase being due principally to increased transactions with Australia consequent on the failure of several Australia banks.

  15. The increases under the various heads of expenditure are for the most part attributable to the fall in exchange.

  16. On the 1st August the postage to the United Kingdom was raised from 7 cents to 10 cents per oz. for letters, with corresponding increases for other descriptions of correspondence. The effect of this change has been to increase by some 10 per cent. the average value of the monthly sale of stamps, allowance being made for the usual extra large sale in November.

  17. The value of stamps sold at Shanghai jumped suddenly from $1,976 in July to $2,753 in August and maintained, from August to December inclusive, an average of $2,938 a month as against $1,681 for the preceding seven months, an increase of more than 70 per cent. This large increase was caused almost entirely by the closing of the Japanese Post Office at Shanghai, by which a great deal of extra work fell to the lot of the British Office. It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, and one effect of the China-Japan War was to put some $1,200 a month into the pockets of the Hong- kong ratepayers.

18. Table I shows the Money Order business for 1894.

  19. I regret to state that during the year it was found that more than 50 registered letters, originating for the most part from the Straits Settleinents, had been during the previous year lost or misappropriated in transit through this Office. No prosecution was instituted, and the greater part of the indemnities claimed by the senders was paid by the father of the clerk to whom the losses were traced, and who was permitted to resign from the service. I am pleased to add that I have complete confidence in the staff at present under my control in this Office, who have one and all performed their duties conscientiously and satisfactorily.

20. Mr. J. PEEL joined the department as junior clerk in April.

21. Mr. J. COSTA resigned in May.

901

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

22. Mr. A. M. SILVA, the senior clerk, retired on pension in November, and was succeeded by Mr W. J. Solly, who was transferred from the Police Force.

23. The Post Office shroff Fu NG died in July, and was succeeded by CHING KAM LEUNG. The Money Order shroff also died, and was succeeded by NG LUM.

 24. I returned from leave of absence on the 3rd October, and the Assistant Postmaster General, Mr. NORTHCOTE, left for England the same day, Mr. BADELEY being appointed to act as Assistant Postmaster General during his absence.

25. The electric light was introduced into the Office in October and has proved a very great boon. 26. On the 22nd October a robbery was perpetrated from the Canton Postal Agency. The thief was subsequently caught and the property abstracted (which was of small value) recovered.

 27. The postal agent at Ningpo died on the 31st October. An examination of his accounts, which in spite of repeated letters from this Office were at the time two months in arrear, disclosed a deficiency of $940.05, of which $161.50 was subsequently recovered from his estate.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable

Governor

DOWNING STREET,

28th June, 1895.

SIR,

In reply to your despatch No. 156 of the 11th ultimo, I have the honour to point out to you that Ordinance No. 1 of 1864 related only to payments to be made to or by the Government of the Colony as to which sterling had been or should have been or should be specified in any Ordinance of the Colony. It does not appear that any Ordinance has specified that Crown rents shall be paid in sterling ; therefore Ordinance No. 1 of 1864 did not, and its repeal does not, affect the payment of Crown rents.

It appears that the old Crown Leases require the rents, though fixed in sterling, to be laid in current dollars of the Colony at such rate as may from time to time be fixed as the rate of exchange for the salaries of the public officers of the Colony. When the currency was changed in 1863 and salaries were fixed in dollars, there ceased to be any rate of exchange for salaries, but the rents no doubt continued to be received at the rate fixed for salaries when salaries were in sterling, viz., 4/2 the Dollar, and they should continue to be received at that rate now.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

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

By Command,

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, April 29th, 1895.

   SIR, I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for the year 1894, together with the reports of the Acting Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Medical Officer in charge of the Gaol, the Superintendent of the Vaccine Institute, and the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

The total number of admissions was 18 less than in 1893. The total number of deaths was 15 as compared with six in 1893. The number of European Police admitted to Hospital was 127 as compared with 134 in 1893; the number of Indian Police 244 as compared with 255 in 1893; the number of Chinese Police 134 as compared with 133 in 1893. A decrease in the admission of Europeans of 7, a decrease in the admission of Indians of 11, and an increase in the admission of Chinese of 1 as compared with 1893.

   Of the 15 deaths there were none among the European Police, 4 among the Indian Police, two of whom died in Hospital, one from natural causes, the other from shot wounds received from Chinese burglars. The two others committed suicide by shooting themselves, one while he was on duty, the other in the Central Police Station compound after he had shot and killed a Chinese Constable. Of the 11 Chinese one Sergeant Interpreter, one Sergeant and 5 Constables died of the plague; seven in all. Two died while away on leave, the cause of death in one case being Beri-beri, the other not known, probably another case of plague. One died of disease in the Government Civil Hospital and one was shot as mentioned above. None of the European or Indian Police suffered from plague although many of them were working hard in the plague-stricken districts of the town and outlying villages.

The admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Police Force for the past ten years are given in the following table and compares, notwithstanding the terrible epidemic we have passed through, very favourably with former years in all portions of the Force :-

   No European died, only one Indian from disease and only two Chinese from ordinary disease, so that the deatlis from ordinary causes have been considerably less than in any of the previous nine years.

   The out-stations on the whole have improved this year, but in Aberdeen, though the figures remain the same as regards all sections of the Force, it was the Europeans and Chinese that suffered most, and sickness among the Indian Police was reduced from 30 to 19 as compared with 1893. At the hill stations--the Gap and Mountain Lodge-the sickness has very much increased in all sections

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

907

of the Force, the number of admissions increased from 12 in 1893 to 20 in 1894. The returns of admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Force in the different districts are given in Table No. III.

TROOPS.

  The average strength has been increased by 37. The total amount of sickness decreased by 22 admissions to Hospital when compared with 1893. The deaths, however, have increased from 28 to 39 compared with 1893. There has therefore, notwithstanding the plague, been an improvement in the general health of the Troops. The increase in the number of deaths cannot be attributed to the plague epidemic, as only one death occurred amongst those who were attacked by the disease who were in all 8 in number. During the three months from the middle of May to the middle of August that the Troops were engaged in assisting at the cleaning up, white-washing and disinfecting houses infected with the disease and many others that were, though not infected, in a most filthy condition, it was noticeable from the weekly returns of sickness amongst the Troops that there was a great improvement in their general health and a freedom from climatic disease during the hottest months in which they usually suffered most, but as soon as the work was finished and their assistance no longer needed they began again to suffer severely. Out of nearly 500 Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and men who were daily employed on the work of cleaning up the houses only 8 were infected with the plague-one Officer and seven men. Of these one Officer and 6 men belonged to the Shropshire Regiment and one man to the Army Medical Staff Corps. The Officer, Captain VESEY, was one of the first attacked at a time when the type of disease was most virulent. A full account of his case is given by Dr. LowSON in his Plague Report; notwithstanding every assistance that could be rendered him by the Medical Officer, both of the Army and Civil Medical Department and the nursing sisters of our staff, to the great regret of all he succumbed to the disease. The health of the Troops employed was a great source of anxiety to the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board who were in daily communication with their Officers as to their requirements as regards relief, refreshments, disinfectants, and medicines supplied to them, all of which was freely supplied by Government on their representation. Those that were attacked were taken on board the Hygeia, hospital hulk, which was after the first few days of the outbreak exclusively used for Europeans and had a Medical Officer continually in attendance. That so few were attacked was a great subject of congratulation and too much cannot be said for the great assistance rendered by the Troops; their orderly conduct and good behaviour during the trying time, and the arduous and revolting work on which they were employed.

The following table gives the sickness and mortality among the Troops for the past ten years :-

I regret that in the above table in my report of last year a great mistake in the figures occurred and the total strength of the Troops was given instead of the total admissions to Hospital. Therefore the deductions made in the report were all wrong. My only excuse is that the report had to be written during the excitement and overwork caused by the outbreak of the plague.

Table IV. shows that the admissions to Hospital in 1894, among the white portion of the Troops, was 2,035; in 1893 it was 2,015, the increase of sickness amongst them was only 20, and this average strength had been increased from 1,414 to 1,446. Only white Troops were employed in rendering assistance during the plague, so that it cannot be said that the epidemic caused an increase of sickness amongst them to any extent at all.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

During the summer of this year the whole staff of this Hospital was doing double duty when the plague epidemic broke out. Dr. J. A. Lowson, Superintendent of the Hygeia epidemic hulk, was Acting Superintendent and also doing the duty of Assistant Superintendent on the 11th of May. On the 13th of May Surgeon PENNY, R.N., and Surgeon-Major JAMES of the Army Medical Staff came to our assistance. The former assisted on the Hygeia and the latter was detailed to the examination of sick found in the City, corpses brought to the Tung Wa Hospital, the inspection of houses and the sanitary portion of the work requiring to be done by a Medical Officer. On the 14th of May the Police Station at Kennedytown was handed over to the Medical Department to relieve the congestion of patients crowding into the Hygeia. On the 19th of May, Dr. W. F. Lowson arrived very opportunely and was appointed Acting Assistant Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital and assisting his brother with Surgeon PENNY at the Plague Hulk and Hospital. On June the 18th Dr. MOLYNEUX from Ningpo arrived to our assistance and was attached to the Plague

Hospitals. Too much praise cannot be given to these gentlemen who came to our assistance when we were reduced to extremities, and whose work during the time they were engaged was hard and heavy. Every member of the Hospital staff went heartily into the work required. Our staff of Nurs- ing Sisters headed by the Matron, Miss EASTMOND, insisted on joining in the plague work although I felt compelled to assure them they, by the terms of their agreement, could not be compelled to assist. They would not be denied. One of them had learnt to speak Chinese, another spoke Japanese and others German and French, and so they were enabled to communicate freely with our foreign patients, and it was pleasing to see how much their presence in the Plague Hospital wards was appreciated by all the patients and the invaluable assistance they were able to render. The Steward, Mr. CHAP MAN, was invaluable in the assistance he rendered in distributing the stores, assisted by the two Chinese Clerks. Mr. Crow, the Apothecary, just convalescent from a long attack of typhoid fever, and Mr. BROWNE, Assistant Apothecary, had hard work distributing medicines and medical comforts to the Hospitals and in assisting in the disinfection of the contaminated houses in the City. Chinese Apothecaries, Mr. U I KAI and Mr. CHAN KAM-TSUN, were detailed to the Kennedy Station Plague Hospital and Hygeia to superintend the dispensing and administration of the medicines to the plague patients, and all went heartily into the work. Wardmaster CUMMINGS, of the Lunatic Asylum, was detailed Wardmaster to Kennedy Station Hospital, and Police Constables J. McKILLOP and T. T. GIDLEY as Wardmasters to the Hygeia, and well and heartily all of them worked. Men also from the Army Medical Staff Corps and Sick-Bay attendants from the Navy gave us great assistance. Six petty Officers from the Navy were detailed to assist in the revolting work of the removal of the dead from the Hospitals and though they had much temptation within their reach, were always alert and helpful and exceedingly orderly and well behaved. On June the 24th Surgeons MEADON and BEARBLOCK, R.N., arrived from the North to our assistance and were detailed to the examination of all junks entering the harbour to detect any plague patients among their passengers and crews, a disagreeable duty especially in the stormy season with heavy rain. Notwithstanding the enormous amount of extra work entailed upon the staff the work of this Hospital went on without a hitch, and very fortunately none of the staff fell ill though after the excitement was over many felt the after- effects. Dr. Lowson and Mr. CROW then went away on a month's leave. Some of the Sisters also had to take a month's leave as they could be spared, and one has been since invalided home.

The Hospital fees have since my remarks in last year's Annual Report been raised for private patients, and no decrease in the demand for accommodation has taken place.

The Superintendent's report shows the great increase in the number of cases to be attributed to alcoholic excess, and also the increase in venereal disease; both of which are generally noticeable in any place suffering from an epidemic scare.

The following table shows the number and classification of those brought to Hospital for the past 10 years:---

There is a slight decrease in the numbers admitted from the Police Force; a fair decrease from the Board of Trade; an increase in the admission of private paying patients, the largest number in the year with the exception of 1890; a considerable decrease in the admissions of Government servants; an increase in the number of Police cases brought in; and a very large increase in the number of destitutes; this being the largest number in the ten years. The total number of admissions exceeds that of any of the nine previous years. The increase in the number of destitutes may be attributed to the stagnation of work all over the Colony in consequence of the epidemic.

There is a decrease in the admissions to Gaol of 97 as compared with 1893, with a decrease in the daily average number under detention of 3 only. It is the smallest daily average in the last 10 years, and for many years before, though the number of admissions is considerably less in four previous years out of the ten given in the above table.

The number of prisoners admitted to hospital 271, as compared with 272 in 1893. The number of prisoners treated in their cells was 614 as compared with 523 in 1893. Of those treated in their cells 178 suffered from contusions, the result of floggings, as compared with 119 in 1893, an increase of 59. Of those treated in hospital 30 were admitted suffering from contusions, the result of floggings, as compared with 40 in 1893, a decrease of 10. The total number of floggings was 208 as compared with 159 in 1893, an increase of 49.

Of the admissions to hospital, the chief causes were fever, anamia, and contused wounds, the result of floggings. Of those treated in their cells the chief causes were scabies, venereal disease, and contusions, the result of floggings administered.

There were 12 opium-smokers admitted to hospital, of whom one died of phthisis and dysen- tery combined in the second week of his detention. He was admitted to hospital at the same time he was admitted to Gaol; had been an opium-smoker for 15 years; his consumption of the drug 2 mace per diem; and his age 55; his weight 90 lbs. on admission, decreased to 88 lbs. before his death. Of the 82 opium-smokers admitted to Gaol in 1894, there were seven of lighter weight than he was when he died. I do not think his death can be attributed to the opium habit. This is only the third death that has occurred in the Gaol in 21 years among those addicted to smoking opium, and he was only an average smoker.

The greatest consumer was one who smoked 4 mace per diem. Of the 82, 12 consumed 3 mace over, 5 were over 60 years of age, the three youngest were 22 years old: 40 years was the longest time any one admitted had been an opium-smoker; this man was 64 years of age, his consumption of the drug 3 mace daily and his weight 85 lbs. He lost 1 lb. in weight during 3 weeks' detention. Of the 82, 6 were over 60 years of age, 19 were over 50 years, 14 over 40, 26 over 30, the rest between 30 and 22 years old. In most cases their only offence was having opium in their possession without a permit. If all men were so severely handled for infringing Custom House laws in European countries there would be a formidable increase in the number of prisoners.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

The number of patients treated in this hospital during the year was 2,354 compared with 2,255 in 1893; of these cases 1,092 died and 1,259 discharged. Of those who died 466 were received in a moribund condition and died within 24 hours. There remained in the hospital 108.

There were 39 patients admited to the small-pox wards; of these 23 were discharged and 16 died, none remained in the hospital at the end of the year.

There were 1,971 people vaccinated at the hospital by the native doctors and 133 in the out- districts, a total of 2,104 vaccinations.

Since May this year all the patients admitted and dead bodies received were inspected by European Surgeons, that is, ever since the plague began. I have performed this duty from the 1st of December to the present time. A very large proportion of the patients received are hopeless cases besides those actually moribund at the time of their reception. Numbers of cases of phthisis, heart disease, Bright's disease, progressive anamia, septicemia from neglected wounds and abscesses in both

joints, various forms of paralysis and many cases of beri-beri chiefly among emigrant coolies brought in off ships arriving from Singapo

the last stage of the discasc iterarily a very large proportion come in to die, many are of advanced age (from to S) and most in a very emaciated condition. Many incurables are sent to their own homes on the mainland. From my experience I am of opinion that the majority received into this hospital would be put down as hopeless cases even under the best treatment obtainable in a European hospital, they might live a little longer, but are incurable.

  I think a great improvement could be made in this hospital by abolishing the three-sided cubicles especially in the lower wards and in cleanliness by the removal of the platforms on which they stand as the floors of the lower wards are of stone; moveable boards might be placed at the bedside-these could easily be moved to clean the floors and easily cleaned themselves, whereas with the existing platforms neither one nor the other can be properly done.

  Very much has been done to improve the cleanliness, ventilation, and order in this building since European supervision daily has been made the rule.

  In my visits to the hospital I have been greatly assisted by Mr. UI KAI, who has been for many years the senior native apothecary at the Government Civil Hospital, and while doing his work there has attende lectures at the Medical College, and was passed in 1893 as a native doctor. He has assisted me in my rounds as interpreter and in taking the temperatures of fever cases morning and evening for the purpose of diagnosis, also in persuading some of the patients, principally surgical cases, to permit their removal to the Government Civil Hospital for treatment and has so ingratiated himself with the attendants of this hospital that they are desirous of retaining his assistance as a permanency. We may, therefore, hope by degrees to introduce improved methods of treatment as well as having the hospital under complete supervision.

WOMEN'S HOSPITAL.

  This hospital has, since the 1st June last, become the Female Venereal Wards of the Government Civil Hospital,

  From that date the voluntary attendance of the women which had been going on for nearly 5 years for the purpose of examination was abolished by a permonitory order from the Secretary of State as I stated in my report for 1893.

VACCINE INSTITUTE.

  As will be seen in the report of Mr. LADDS, the Superintendent, this institution has been a great success. It has not only paid its expenses, but has made over $600 profit, and we have had calf lymph in abundance for use and distribution free of cost to the Government.

Choleraic Diarrhoea 1.

This table appears as it has done for years and from the disease there mentioned as caused by filth the Europeans suffered but little this year. The Chinese suffered more, but as I have explained in my report upon the Tung Wa Hospital now under European supervision as regards the nature of the cases admitted there and the examination of the dead bodies daily, there is likely to be a considerable change in this table next year. When this table was compiled the plague did not enter. into my

   calculations, and I have not altered the table this year by its addition. The return of those affected by plague give the following figures as far as can be made out with certainty. There were 11 Europeans affected, of these 2 died; of coloured races 50 were affected and 36 died; of Chinese affected there were 2,619 and 2,447 died. This terrible outbreak has had one good effect; it has proved to the European community the danger, existing in the filthy condition in the major portion of the inhabited districts of the Colony, is a real danger and not to be laughed at as it has been for years. I regret that my warnings have all received so little attention and that I have proved a true prophet; but I hope out of the evil will rise much good, at any rate the state of things that has existed as long can no longer be permitted to remain unimproved.

The thorough inspections of the houses in the city not only resulted in showing that the Chinese portion of the city was in a filthy and insanitary condition but that in very many cases Europeans neglected to look after their own premises, and their servants' quarters revealed a disgusting state of filth and neglect and required as much cleansing and disinfecting as any Chinese house in the worst quarters of the city.

Special reports concerning the terrible visitation of the plague have been made so recently that it is unnecessary for me to go into particulars on this subject.

I have added to this report as an appendix the two first reports I made within five months of my arrival in the Colony. These reports were afterwards supplemented by others showing the insanitary state of European houses, public buildings such as markets, Police Stations, schools, Supreme Court, Magistrates' Court, Gaol, Hospital, &c. These two reports--the first on the condition of the brothels in use both by Europeans and those used only by Chinese dated 19th January, 1874, and the second on the filthy condition of the Chinese portion of the city generally dated 15th April, 1874,-were received by the Government with astonishment at the state of things revealed and some incredulity as will be seen by the memo appended by Mr. GARDNER AUSTIN, C.M.G., the then Colonial Secretary, and that though improvement in the state of the brothels was at once recommended, interference with the state of things described in the brothel report as existing in the Chinese portion of the city was deprecated as "to do anything effectually in the matter would occupy much preparation, and much "time, and would involve a very considerable outlay." This minute of the Colonial Secretary determined to go thoroughly into the matter so that no responsibility should rest with me, and the series of reports on sanitation I have mentioned beginning with the one in the appendix dated 15th April, 1874, were made and a general review of the state of things made in my Annual Report of 1874 in which I omitted many things of which I had made the Government aware but which I did not think advisable to make public, but even what I did say was deemed too much and nearly the

912

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST 1895.

whole on the subject of sanitation was eliminated when that report was published. It was afterwards resuscitated by Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY in 1878 and became public property. To the facts mentioned in this report I have frequently referred and the report itself has been more than once published in extenso in the public press and very frequently quoted from. The condition of things described as existing in 1874 were still worse in 1894 as far as overcrowding, want of ventilation, defective construction and general filth in the houses were concerned because the population had increased enormously, the same insanitary state of construction of the houses had been continued, and from being only two stories high they have increased to three and four stories high and also increased in number in many places, whilst in others the same old houses described in 1874 exist by hundreds in the same condition then described with the same filthy walls and floors impossible to clean, and the same underground dens. The drainage in some places has been improved as regards the main drainage, but as regards the house drainage it, in most cases, in 1894 remained the saine.

In the autumn of 1874, the Government being of opinion that my reports were exaggerated, appointed a Commission consisting of the Surveyor General, Mr. PRICE, and Mr. ALFORD, an architect and engineer in private practice, and myself to supply a further report; and from the beginning of Octo- ber 1874 to the end of April 1875, every week day afternoon from 2 P.M. till dusk was spent in inspecting every portion of the city, when another still stronger report was sent in amply verifying all I had stated signed by all of us. A month before the work was finished Mr. PRICE's health broke down, and Mr. ALFORD and I finished the work by ourselves in the first week in May, I having spent the major portion of my time for the past eighteen months in "slumming." I was attacked with typhoid fever, Mr. ALFORD fortunately escaping any ill effects.

""

From that time on I continued with the assistance of two Inspectors in charge of the sanitation of the Colony being able to effect but little improvement, till in 1880 serious disputes on the subject of sanitation occurred between the Government on the one hand and the Surveyor General and myself on the other which terminated in each of us appealing to the Secretary of State, by whom Mr. CHADWICK was appointed a Royal Commissioner and sent out to inspect and report on the sanitation of the Colony. His full report was published in a Blue Book in 1882, amply verifying the evils we had brought to notice and confirming still more fully all we had said in our reports.

   By Mr. CHADWICK's recommendation a Sanitary Board was appointed in 1882, relieving me of a burden which I had borne for eleven years. In 1887 Mr. CHADWICK was again sent out and expressed much surprise at the little that had been done in the six years since his previous visit, and by his advice the Sanitary Board was reconstituted and enlarged, the Public Health Ordinance revised and enlarged as regards its powers as also the Building Ordinance; and since that many other amendments have been made with accompanying bye-laws and a Land Resumption Ordinance sanctioned, and others in connection with sanitation, water supply, drainage, &c.

The water supply has been nearly completed, but the quantity is found to be insufficient, the quality of the supply has been proved by monthly analysis to be superior to that of most English

towns.

The main drainage is nearly completed, but as regards house drainage is still far from complete. The Building Ordinance refers only to new buildings, and existing buildings previous to this Ordinance remain the same.

The Land Resumption Ordinance until 1894 remained a dead letter.

The Sanitary Board as reconstituted meets fortnightly and at times of alarm, as in the case of the small-pox epidemic and the cholera scare, holds frequent emergency meetings. Voluminous reports have been made, and some of them published, by Sub-Committees, the Superintendent and Secretary of the Board, Mr. MCCALLUM, the Sanitary Surveyor, Mr. CROOK, the Veterinary Surgeon, Mr. LADDS, under whom are the Markets, Slaughter-Houses and Cattle Depots and Lairs, and by the Board Inspectors. The Board's Officers have had some praise sparingly given; but one and all have been severely and at times censured in no measured terms by some members of the Board for having in their zeal for the service done things which required immediate attention and common sense sanctioned being done, and on being reported at the next Board meeting received the censure as their reward for doing things without the previous sanction of the Board.

The Official Members of the Board in their several capacities have had metaphorical missiles thrown at them in unstinted supplies.

The want of a Medical Health Officer as Superintendent, many times insisted on by me from the beginning as an absolute necessity, but from economical motives ignored till Mr. MCCALLUM's health broke down completely from the overwork of doing the double duty which necessitated his being out and about the greater part of the day and doing his office work at night. The necessity of a Medical Officer of Health then begun to dawn upon them generally and was fully recognized when the plague began.

   Long wordy, windy, desultory, rambling discussions are held by the Board at their fortnightly meetings ending in nothing being done. Sub Committee's reports, called for in many cases as a means of delaying action, end in abortive attempts at action, as in the case of the Sub-Committee's report on Overcrowding when threats of riots and strike, amongst the Chinese, moderated the tone of the

majority of the Board, when it appeared that the mercantile community and the general public would be seriously inconvenienced, and things were relegated to the future for further consideration; as in the case of the Sub-Committee appointed to enquire into the Fat-Boiling Nuisance to which I referred in my Annual Report for 1893, whose report although referring to the condition of filth and general insanitation of the houses in which this business was conducted, situated in First, Second, Third and High Streets, some of those being houses the insanitary condition of which I mentioned in my Report of the 15th April, 1874, were situated to the west of the Hospital in High, First, Second and Third Streets. Mr. EDE and Mr. HUMPHREYS, unofficial members of the Board the Sub- Committee appointed, inspected these premises and sent in a report in which they said :-"Nearly the "whole of the houses are in a most dilapidated condition. The floors were reeking with filth. The "drainage was very bad, smell abominable. In some of the houses were dark holes in which there "were quantities of decomposing and putrid meat, fat and bones, and one of them filled with 66 maggots. The stench from these places was unbearable." I inspected these houses also and found them in the same condition I had reported twenty years ago; fat-boiling was going on there, but, with the assistance of the Registrar General, I had them cleared out and suppressed that business in the neighbourhood of the Hospital. It had begun again of late years and I have often reported them before with result that the nuisance has abated for a time. When this report was read before the Board I stated that these houses were in as disgusting a condition as many of the worse slums of the Central District of Taipingshan, independently of the fat-boiling, that many other houses in the same streets where no fat-boiling was done were in the same filthy and insanitary condition, and that these houses were, in my opinion, unfit for hunan habitation. The Board then recommend-"That "the tenants should be called upon to abate the nuisance,'"-which was done. The Board also recommended-"That the landlords should be notified to put these houses in proper order." That the notices were served is proved by the papers attached to the documents which had been before the Board, but there is no record to show that the landlords paid any attention to the notification, and no further steps appear to have been taken in the matter and it ended in nothing being done. The houses in these streets, next to the walled up portion of Taipingshan, were the worst centres of the plague-stricken districts; scores of them were closed as unfit for human habitation and remain so to this day.

  Reports of the Board's Sanitary Surveyor on houses requiring re-draining are continually being referred back for further report in the interest of the landlords or the tenants whose rights must not be infringed upon, or only sanctioned conditionally, or refused sanction altogether on account of insuffi- cient water supply rendering re-draining incompatible, in the opinion of some members, with the necessities of the case.

  The powers given to the Board to act are not used because they are insufficient, because they interfere with the rights of the landlord, the tenant, or the public. Action is deprecated in every possible way. The Board's legal members are great in explaining what the Board cannot do in consequence of the want of sufficient powers and but little light is afforded to the Board by them as to what can be done with the limited powers the Board possesses. Every care was taken to hamper the Board in doing anything, and every opportunity to declaim on the iniquity of the water supply not being in the hands of the Board, the want of powers to act, the need for reform (especially Muni- cipal Reform) and the very great need of a Municipal Council to save the Colony from destruction. All sorts of wild theories are promulgated and beautiful plays are acted for the benefit of the gallery occupied by the reporters of the public press who furnish the papers with jesting and caustic reports of the discussions to the great amusement of the public, and subject those members desirous of doing the work for which they were appointed to unlimited chaff; the reports of the Board's meetings being looked forward to as a source of amusement in these dull times.

  When the plague began a small and Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board was appointed to see necessary things done to stamp out its invasion. The incetings were held daily and in the beginning were rather of a stormy character. There was no gallery, I mean no reporters, but the majority meant business and would recognize no rights but the public welfare, and landlords and lessecs who had fattened on the profits of the disgusting and filthy dens for years had to submit to forego those profits for the future. Many houses have been taken away from them altogether and the Land Resumption Ordinance put in force; scores of other houses have been closed as unfit for human habitation until the required alterations necessary to render them fit are made; hundreds of others have had a definite period fixed to put them in order with the threat of closure unless those orders are obeyed. And it has been shown very definitely that a great deal could be done in a very short time when necessity that knows no law required it.

The Chinese have received a very necessary and salutory lesson that riots and strikes will no longer be permitted to override the law, and I desire to protest against their being permitted any interference in or control over hospitals for epidemic disease in the future after our experience of the past year.

  I deprecate any accommodation being sanctioned by Government for plague patients not under European supervision in the immediate neighbourhood of the Colony in future. The condition of things existing at the Lai-Chi-Kok Hospital and cemetery was correctly described by the medical

staff employed by the Government in their letter dated July 2nd, 1894. The reports given by other medical men at the request of Government dated July 8th, 1894, although the hospital had been specially cleansed and prepared with supplies of disinfectants for their reception, confirmed the danger to the Colony of this institution, for they said "The whole number of patients under treatment was "58...... Of this number about one third were suffering from plague and less than half came from Hongkong. The plague patients were scattered promiscuously amongst the others." This was while we were doing our best in the Colony to single out plague patients, and these other patients were daily being dismissed from the hospital to spread the infection they had contracted in the hospital over the Kowloon peninsula. That they did so was fully proved by the fact that only a few isolated cases appeared on the Kowloon peninsula before the Troops had thoroughly cleansed and white-washed all the houses, yet after this had been done and when the plague was fast dying out in Hongkong in the latter part of July the plague cases were steadily increasing on the Kowloon peninsula and it continued there to the last, the latest case occurred in October long after any case occurred in Hongkong and the youth died in hospital three days after.

   Moreover a patient, that had been deported from the Tung Wa Plague Hospital in the Cattle Depot by Government orders to Lai-Chi-Kok Hospital, left that hospital of his own accord, came through Kowloon across in one of the Chinese ferries, wandered through the City of Victoria back to the Cattle Depot Hospital where he died twenty-four hours after.

The letter written by Dr. MOLYNEUX, dated July 12th, on the condition of the Lai-Chi-Kok graveyard and its dangers was, in every particular, correct. The show graves of fairly decent depth, described by the Medical Officers who reported at the request of Government on the 8th of July, remained empty although other interments had been made in the graveyard only a few inches deep. On July 17th Mr. FRANCIS, the President of the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board, and myself visited the Lai-Chi-Kok graveyard and confirmed Dr. MOLYNEUX's statements in every particular, the show graves remained unfilled though still more interments had taken place. The heap of lime remained in statu quo and practically none had been used in the graves.

   Later on Surgeons MEADON and BEARBLOCK, who were inspecting all junks and sampans coming into Hongkong, discovered the lime, that had been taken over to Lai-Chi-Kok Hospital for show purposes, being exported back to Hongkong.

   For these reasons, which are facts which cannot be disputed, should deportation be considered necessary. It should at least be nowhere except to Canton, and not allowed to any place in the immediate neighbourhood of the Colony.

   As for the Sanitary Board now that the scare is over it seems fast relapsing into the "do nothing" principle until the Unofficial members get all they demand constituting themselves the public repre- sentatives and being in reality only that of a very small portion of the public, and the necessity of its reform in some way is fully demonstrated. As a compulsory member of the Board words are insuffi- cient to express my disgust at, in any way, being a part of it.

   As regards a Municipal Council I have no belief in the possibility of such an institution. The com- munity is too small and the conflicting interests of its members too great. To give a forcible illustra- tion of this being a fact look at the Directors of the many Companies in the Colony. Is there a single Company in this Colony whose Directors have not been held up to execration in letters to the papers and in articles in the papers, being accused of subordinating the interests of the shareholders to their own interests, of appropriating emoluments when there were no dividends, &c.? I would like to see a list of representative men of position, who think they have the confidence of the public, who would consent to become members, or whose firm would consent to their time being given for such a purpose in these days of high pressure, frequent telegraph instructions coming every hour in the twenty-four, and with mails coming in and going out daily.

Such an institution is recognized as a necessity in Shanghai and for the interest of all concerned in the Settlement, but the chosen few would in many cases be glad to get out of it if they could.

   I am glad to see the observations in my last annual report as to the necessity of having some control over the wheeled vehicles for the trausport of heavy goods drawn by coolies has received attention. Already I have sent in several reports to Government of serious injuries inflicted by their want of proper control this year, and I have seen many minor injuries inflicted by the same cause. Now they are to be licensed and the proprietors held responsible. There will, I hope, be fewer of such

cases.

   I would like to suggest that when coolies are licensed to carry chairs and run in jinrickshaws, some consideration should be given to their physical capacity for doing such work. At least a quarter of the coolies so employed are quite unfit for it, and that they are so is patent to the most casual observer and needs no professional opinion. If they were horses their owners would be pounced upon at once for cruelty to animals and prosecuted. The unpleasant experience of having to get out of the vehicle and pay the coolie before his contract is carried out has occurred to many people frequently.

   This report has been very hurriedly written. The reports of the Acting Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Superintendent of the Hygeia Epidemic Hulk, and the Government

Analyst are not finished, and some of the tables also. But I have had to write without them as I am, in a few days, leaving the Colony on long leave, the first long leave I have had during nearly 30 years' service under Government. I have, therefore, had to ask the Acting Colonial Surgeon to see that the above are forwarded, and the proofs of this report properly corrected.

I leave the Colony for a time with regret, having made very many kind friends-both Official and Unofficial-and having spent many happy years in it. The only thing I do not regret leaving is the Sanitary Board as a body, and I hope before I return there will be some improvement as to the indi- vieual members. When away from the Sanitary Board or one meets them at more festive boards I have always found them kind and pleasant companions.

Appendix to Colonial Surgeon's Annual Report for 1894.

PH. B. C. AYRES,.

Colonial Surgeon.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 19th January, 1874.

SIR,I have the honour to forward the following report on the sanitary condition of the brothels of Hongkong. I have made over twelve inspections varying from three to five hours each, and have not yet succeeded in completing the round, but have quite sufficient data to express an opinion on.

With regard to the form, headed Contagious Diseases Ordinance, enclosed in the Registrar General's letter No. 39, dated 5th August, 1873, I am of opinion it is useless. A certain number of feet might be laid down as a rule for the accommodation of each individual, other things being equal; but other things are in no case equal, situation is different, and so are the heights of the rooms, so that a room in one house sixteen feet square may sufficiently accommodate four persons, but a room in another of exactly the same dimensions be totally unfit for one.

The inspectors of brothels cannot be expected to be judges of the sanitation of houses entirely uninstructed as they are, and in my opinion no brothel should be sanctioned without a certificate from a medical officer that it is a fit place for sanction and the accommodation of so many women.

   The inspections of brothels appear to have been left entirely to the inspectors of brothels, men of limited education and certainly unable to perform the duties required of them without efficient super- intendence and instruction which has not apparently been the duty of my predecessors in the Colonial Surgeoncy of Hongkong, and that this is evidently required, the report will show.

The inspectors have simply confined themselves to seeing that the laws laid down by "The Con- tagious Diseases Act" have been carried out and nothing in the way of sanitation has been done at all. I have found invariably in every house the kitchen in a filthy condition, many without chimneys, the smoke of wood and charcoal fires distributing itself all over the house and rendering the air difficult to breath, the drainage more or less deficient, and, where existing, in a most deplorable condition. Greasy soot lying thick on the walls and ceilings; floors saturated with decaying animal matter, washed off the dressers and thrown out of pots and left to drain how it can, these floors being broken bricks or decaying boards; there were no proper receptacles for rubbish, which accumulated in corners or was heaped in broken baskets and only removed when it became of sufficient importance by taking up too much room and becoming inconvenient.

In the kitchens were generally one or more hutchics used as privies, consisting of a few boards knocked together to form a rickety screen, and from age and neglect were saturated with filth. No proper receptacle for night-soil was found in the hutches, sometimes a broken pot, sometimes a leaky old tub, sometimes nothing at all, the night-soil being deposited on the floors and the urine draining away as best it might into the surrounding floors. I have a pretty good stomach, which doesn't revolt at trifles, but I found the inspection of these places acted on it in a very unpleasant manner.

The girl's rooms-next to kitchens,-nearly all had a ventilating opening into the kitchens; of what benefit to the inhabitants of the rooms may be gathered from the foregoing paragraphs.

  In at least a dozen instances I found a girl's room separated from the privies by a boarded partition through the interstices of which the inhabitants of the room could see into the privies and vice versa. As often as not rooms were over the privies with floors in a similar condition.

In all cases, without exception, the floors of the rooms and passages, the walls and ceilings or roof were in filthy condition, so thick was the greasy dirt on the floors that it could be scraped off with the foot.

916

COVER

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1893.

  In many cases the houses are quite unfit for use as brothels or human habitation, their being ventilation at all, and many more are much overcrowded,-rooms being built in rooms not only by sub-dividing the floor of one room, but by dividing other rooms above the sub-divisions, making one floor into two, and so destroying the small amount of ventilation there was originally.

  Such being the case it is not at all wonderful to find cases of typhoid fever continually brought to hospital. I am bound to say that these cases do not only come from brothels and therefore do not merit the name of "brothel-fever" given to them, for in many private houses of the poorer class that I have inspected the state of things is a hundred times worse than in the brothels, and if some remedy is not found it will ultimately become a formidable invader of the houses of the rich and bring back to Hongkong, with good reason, its not enviable notoriety as a grave of Europeans.

For it must be remembered that it is to these houses and to the Chinese brothels the servants go, and from them may bring the infection into the houses of their masters.

I have written out instructions, some of them applying to all the brothels, some to individual houses only, for the use of the inspectors, and allow a certain time for them to be acted upon; if not fully carried out in that time the houses will be closed until the orders are obeyed. Some houses, about eight in number, I have ordered to be closed, but without continual and efficient superintendence and instruction as to what is required the inspectors cannot be of much use as regards sanitary arrange- ments, the impracticability of the blind leading the blind having been demonstrated by reliable authority.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

PH. B. C. AYRES, Colonial Surgeon.

(Colonial Secretary's Minute of 20th January, 1874.)

If without exaggeration, this report reflects seriously upon the Government in respect to the past and throws much responsibility upon it as regards the future.

There is no object to which I would devote time and attention more willingly than the amelio- ration of these parts of the town which are inhabited by the Chinese, but to do anything effectually in the matter would occupy much preparation and much time, and involve very considerable outlay. We cannot therefore move in the matter on the spur of the moment.

As regards the brothels, however, we can take immediate action, and I therefore suggest that the houses which are irremediably bad should be closed at once, and that the others should be left open only on condition that they shall be made satisfactory in all respects within a specified time.

I quite approve of the suggestions made by Dr. AYRES that no brothel should hereafter be licensed without a certificate from a Medical Officer, but I think that the Surveyor General should also have some voice in the matter.

The Honourable the Registrar General will be good enough to give his opinion on the matter.

Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 15th April, 1874.

   SIR, I have the honour to forward to you a report on the results of my rounds with the sanitary inspector for the information of His Excellency the Governor.

As I have already stated in my report on the inspection of brothels, there are many things brought to notice there that are equally applicable to private houses, such as bad drainage, deficient ventilation, foul privies, filthy condition of the houses, &c., &c.; but if I was astonished at the state of the brothels they did not at all prepare me for what I was to find in private houses. As was the case of the brothels before I came, so it is with the back slums of the town, little or no superintendence over the inspectors has been thought of. The inspectors of brothels and the sanitary and market inspectors have all been left pretty much to their own devices, as I have shown and shall show. Nor does it seem to have come within the province of my predecessors to do this work.

Pigs are universally kept in the houses all over the town, the usual place for their reception being the kitchens, but they are by no means confined to that part of the house. If the droves are too large or the kitchen too small, they are kept in the same room the inhabitants of the houses occupy and are as frequently to be found in upper stories as in the ground floors. A very favourite place for them is

917

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

under the bed. I have seen four of the usual divisions the Chinese make in one room, each division having a bed, and underneath each bed a pig sty containing from five to seven pigs, the occupant of the house having a Government license to keep pigs and having no other place to keep them. Attached to this report I send eight licenses, by the authority of which the occupants of the house kept pigs under their beds, and two others where the pigs, though not kept under the beds, were in the same room the people slept and lived in. I could send

I could send many others. The construction of this class of houses is against every sanitary rule as regards drainage, ventilation and cleanliness, which is rendered impossible to the inhabitants, which you will easily understand by what I shall show you. Many houses being built back to back have no yards, have only a window in front, and there is nothing to promote a current of air through them. In others, which are not built back to back, no yard is provided but a narrow gully exists between the backs of the two sets of houses about a yard wide, not used for passengers, but down which an open sewer exists, in which foul and f?tid matter lies in pools or slowly trickles from one pool to the other, a slight descent assisting. The private drains existing are of the most complicated description beginning in the kitchen of the house and terminating-goodness only knows where-in but too many cases in the earth itself with no outlet, through which the filth percolates till it finds the water level.

 The upper floors of the houses are made with very thin boards which not lying close together renders it impossible to attempt to wash them, as that would result in giving the inhabitants of the rooms beneath a dirty shower bath. They are consequently covered with mud and filth deposited by their human inhabitants (in many instances assisted by pigs) half an inch thick. The ground floors are for the most part mud, though sometimes badly tiled or covered with stones. On this mud floor every imaginable filth falls, from saliva to pig's urine draining from the pens so that the earth is saturated with decomposing animal and vegetable matter of all descriptions; and mud floors cannot be washed or cleaned.

I don't think the value of this sort of property is known or the enormous prices for which these houses are let. Repairs cost little or nothing yearly. In nearly every room three or more families reside up to as many as six or eight, the room being partitioned off; each partition pays a dollar and a half to two dollars a month rent, and a house of three rooms about fourteen feet square with miserable little kitchens attached will fetch from £55 to £70 a year; if it is a brothel from £80 to £100 a year. I saw one room with four partitions for which the women of the house paid $16 a month rent, the girls paying their $9 a month for each partition. It is thus evident that it is better to own property of this description which requires little or no repair than to own houses in better quarters which pay less rent and require frequent repair. I mean that the inhabitants have no choice in the first instance and the landlords none in the other, as to whether repairs shall be done or not, even when they are required. I now proceed to give a few notes of things I saw in certain localities, which notes are applicable to very many other places.

Fuk On Lane, ground floors of most houses mud, upper floors open spaces between the boards, so that neither floors admit of proper cleaning. Kitchens-poky, little holes, overcrowded and occupied by pigs, they being considered fit and proper places by the Inspectors of Markets, the people have licenses. Steps at the upper end of this lane out of repair, underneath, arc cavities containing liquid, black and putrid filth.

Open space below Hospital Road and east of Tung Hing Theatre used as a place to shoot all sorts of rubbish, a disgusting stench pervading the place.

Pound Lane, south end filthy, no drainage, four cases of small-pox occurred here this Houses with broken floors containing puddles of filth from which a stench arose enough to make any year. one sick; outside standing pools of filth, in open drains. Tanks sunk in the ground floors of these houses containing filthy water in which vegetables were being washed for the markets, also bean-cake making going on in these rooms for sale in the markets. As many as from seven to twelve pigs kept in the kitchens here, the people having licenses.

  Rutter's Lane consists of a passage about four feet wide paved with large stones with large cavities beneath them, into which I could poke my walking stick up to the handle without finding bottom, these cavities containing black and putrid liquid filth. The houses are horribly filthy and having pigs in them; in one house three children just recovered from small-pox.

  At the top of this lane there is an open space, in which all sorts of rubbish is shot. Four wells in this space all more or less receive the drainings from the rubbish collected about. From three of the wells the water was being used only for cleaning clothes and vegetables and the fourth usel for drinking. Down-spouts of houses generally in bad state of repair.

  Along the back of the houses in Upper Station Street runs a horizontal wooden trough about six feet above ground which is used for conveying away refuse water from the houses; this is not in good ?; repair and leaks, the filthy water trickling down and polluting the walls of the houses. The foundations of these houses look anything but safe, the inhabitants expect them to tumble down before long as the houses in front of them have already done.

918

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

   At the back of Market Street, Taipingshan, is a gully three feet wide, down which an open drain runs, the black and putrid filth trickling slowly along or standing in puddles.

   At the back of Tank Lane is a gully with no name-pigs in upper and lower rooms and in holes sunk in the foundations of houses-place filthy, baskets of putrid rubbish standing about outside the houses. In the midst of puddles of filth in the broken pavement, saw a hole sunk in the ground with a machine for pounding rice in it, opposite to the doorway of a hole which could not be called a room, as it was not more than seven feet square, and was only just large enough to contain a bed in which a family slept and underneath which were a lot of pigs.

   Take another gully with no name, one end opening into Caine Road just below Dr. ADAMS' house, the other end into Market Street. This gully is floored with a platform of boards raised about two feet above the ground, the earth below is sodden with black liquid filth, and underneath this footway fowls are kept which afterwards go to the markets. Houses here are cramped up little hovels with filthy floors, and the inhabitants are licensed to keep pigs to the number of ten each.

   First Street, Saiyingpoon, is a wide street, in which the houses look well from the front-pigs kept, of course. At the back of these houses are gullies of the foulest description, the stench from which is horrible.

   In Woi On Lane, a gully at the back of, and composed of the basement floors of, Third Street, nearly every room kept pigs, there being nearly a hundred in the place. I could not stay to inspect it properly, as the stench drove me out retching.

   These places taken from different quarters of the town are quite sufficient to illustrate what I have said.

   An intimate acquaintance in the course of my student life in hospital practice with the worst quarters of Lambeth, Saint Giles, and Somers Town, enables me to say, I do not believe there could be found in London worse places than are to be found in Hongkong, if so bad; and in Indian towns filth of the description found here would not be permitted by the caste of the inhabitants.

Here the people inhabiting these places are not so poverty-stricken, they wear good clothes and pay high rents, indeed exorbitant rents, and nowhere have I found anything approaching to the poverty I have seen in London or Indian towns. Few European residents of this generally supposed clean town know of or would believe the things I have brought to notice in this, and my report on the brothels. It is no wonder, under the circumstances, in their ignorance they think the town is clean enough and more water is not required seeing as they do only the best quarters or those that are fair enough outside, but foul within and behind. In many places the people have to go long distances for water or they get it from foul wells, so that they learn to do without it as much as possible, not because they don't want it, but because it is a great deal of trouble to procure. They never wash or clean the floors of their houses, because the construction of the floors does not admit of it, so water is not acquired for this purpose.

I am of opinion that in the town there is no fit or proper place for pigs to be kept at all, and this at all events should not be sanctioned by Government, but that places should be found out of town or over at Kowloon, and the pigs brought to market when required.

No house in the town should be permitted to have floors so constructed that they cannot be properly cleaned, in upper floors the boards should be well fitted so that they can be washed, and all the ground floors should be well tiled for the same reason, no mud floors should be allowed, and every house should be well white-washed every six months or at least once a year. The landlords should be held responsible for this and for the drains being in proper order that belong to the house.

In some cases, however, the house drainage cannot be managed as there is no proper drainage to the streets or gullies. In future no houses should be built without sufficient yard space at the back, and in no case should they be built back to back.

With such a state of things as I have reported here no one will dispute, I think, that there is good reason for my prognostications as regards typhus and typhoid fever, and it is not to be wondered at that the cases become more and more frequent. I have seen three this week. A cholera epidemic here would be something too horrible to think about, and small-pox is by no means to be thought lightly of.

I have the honour to be,

Enclosure 1.

Report of the Acting Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

941

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, May, 1895.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on the work done in the Government Civil Hospital, the Lunatic Asylums, and the Epidemic Hospitals during the year 1894.

1. Before speaking on these institutions in detail a few remarks are called for on some matters of general interest to the Medical Department. At the present moment there is no necessity to dwell particularly on the fact that 1894 has been the most important year that the Medical Department has gone through, and to my mind it will be some considerable time, if ever, before we are called on to face such difficulties again. Some of these difficulties I have mentioned in my report on the Epidemic of Bubonic Plague already published. Others, although interesting and peculiar from a personal point of view, do not come within the scope of this report. I would suggest, however, that the Government consider whether the following officers should receive at least a bonus for work done during that trying time:-

Steward, Mr. R. CHAPMAN.

2. I have already mentioned the Steward's work in my plague report. The other servants men- tioned above all had excessively long hours of work-work which in the early days of the epidemic was about as filthy and disgusting as could well be imagined and more revolting than most civilized people can have any idea of. The clean and well conducted hospitals which visitors saw during the latter days of June gave the ordinary medical globe-trotter the idea that plague work in Hongkong was rather interesting and almost luxurious. What that work was in the middle of May is only known to a select few who, I daresay, don't want to have any more experience of it. Honour and duty entered largely into the matter with superior officers, but to some of those who have little or no promotion to look forward to I consider that money remuneration is necessary. If this is not given in such cases much ill-feeling is engendered, as our outside helpers were paid very large salaries for less than half the work done (generally not so well) by our subordinates, who in most cases got no extra remuneration. Many a time we could only get work done by "flogging the tired horse with the inevitable result that the tired horse became permanently injured.

3. After the plague had been satisfactorily got rid of a Medical Commission was appointed to con- sider certain matters in this Department. Their report has not yet been made public, but I must say that some of the questions submitted for their decision were questions which are generally left to the executive officers alone. Delay in many things often leads to one being unable to carry out schemes which niay frequently be carried to success before anything is known about them by outsiders. It is satisfactory to know that from report there is a strong probability of the Medical Department being largely increased to meet the extra demands that for the last year or two have been put upon it. One important matter which might have received attention is the present unsatisfactory state of the Pension Rules in the Civil Medical Service. Rules similar to those of the Army and Navy are the very least that ought to govern the question of pension to those who have to serve their whole time in the Tropics. The radical improvements in this matter in the Army and Navy were brought about by the agitation of the British medical papers, and it is to be hoped that no such agitation should be necessary in cases where it is apparent to any one that the conditions of life in the Public Service are of a much more arduous and enervating character. To take an example: before I can claim a pension here, I will have to serve for 33 years-pleasant prospect in this salubrious island! I would also point out that Army medical officers here draw much larger salaries-there is no necessity to talk about the relative amount of work; it is well known.

4. The subject of alcoholism and venery I pay more attention to under the heading of the Govern- ment Civil Hospital. The great monthly increase up till the 1st of September still proves that the British public is still subject to panic, and I regret to be one to have to announce this. The statis- ties I give show the increase, but give only a faint idea of the amount of alcoholism which pervaded the Colony during the plague period. At that time many who are returned under other headings- principally "Digestive "were alcoholic on admission, whilst, for the first time in my experience here, two deaths have to be recorded under the heading "alcoholism".

"alcoholism". There is no doubt that a great deal of the drinking was brought about by the scare caused by the appearance of the disease and that it was not a coincidence but a consequence. The increase of venereal disease during the first nine

 months of the year is a matter which must be carefully put on record, and it strikes me the day is not far off when Great Britain will rue the day the Contagious Diseases Act was abolished. Many more out-patients were attended than usual because we had only room for admission of urgent venereal cases. The opium question in India was standing on a perilous footing for some time until the Com- mission was fortunately appointed which has had no hesitation in jumping on the absurd views of those people who pity the "poor degraded Indian." I trust that in the interests of every Colony in the East the British Government will soon see the necessity of appointing a Commission to take evidence on and judge the contagious diseases question on its merits. The most noticeable fact about the alcohol plague was that during the trying summer when passing the low class "pubs" in Queen's Road the places were practically deserted, so I conclude that a lot of the drinking must have been done privately.

   5. I am glad to say that the morphia injection trade appears to me to have received a severe check from the legislation made to prevent it. I noticed extremely few cases during the plague epidemic where one saw numerous marks of injection and only one case where they were very apparent and had caused troubled. In this patient the numerous punctures on the front of the thigh had produced an eczematous condition of the skin and a femoral bubo in the right groin. He was sent in as a case of plague, but a careful examination soon led one to conclude that the bubo was the result of the irrita- tion. Most exemplary penalties were imposed on the people caught by the Police, and there seems reason to hope that the practice will never again reach the huge dimensions in Hongkong to which this pernicious habit had attained. I have a notion, however, that instead of its reaching the Chinese brain by the hypodermic method it is introduced by the stomach. In any case it will now be extre- mely difficult to keep morphia from the Chinese.

   6. Another point that merits attention is the increase of tubercular disease amongst the Chinese here. During last year we had many more cases of phthisis admitted than usual, and the deaths from phthisis and general tuberculosis were numerous. During the plague epidemic a great number of sick were brought up to Hospital for examination who were suffering from every kind of disease, and perhaps this seive action accounts for part of the increase in tubercular cases, but in my opinion it does not account for all. There is, in my mind, no doubt that tubercle is increasing here, and I am afraid it will keep on increasing, as no disinfecting process is at present possible when one considers the primitive methods of disposal of expectoration at present in use amongst the natives in Hongkong. The carrying out of the new laws anent overcrowding will undoubtedly have a beneficial effect so far as tubercle is concerned, whilst the efforts at house scavenging and disinfection which have been inaugurated since the plague epidemic are also bound to assist in the direction of prevention of this disease.

   7. I have already mentioned to you the desirability of having a medical inspection of ricksha and chair coolies before they receive licences. Many of those poor wretches are physically incapable of doing hard work and woe betide some of them when they get drunken Jacks as fares. I have seen many evidently suffering from cardiac and respiratory disease who at the end of a short journey are fitter for the hospital ward than for running between the shafts of a public vehicle. By granting licences only to those who are certified as physically able for their work the public would be greatly benefited and it would also be a kindness to the weaker coolies who ought to try to procure lighter work. Medical examination need not take up much time and could quite easily be done, say, by the Medical Officer of Health.

   8. What to do with many of our sick and indigent Chinese is daily becoming a serious question. Without making Hongkong the dumping ground of the Kwangtung Province, I think it quite possible to have some institution where "chronics" might have a tub or some sound food. The Chinese community might be asked to supply the funds for running the place, and some responsible Government officer should be placed in charge. The number of maimed Chinese patients who do not want to leave the Government Civil Hospital is occasionally large, and I hope that next time any of our local philanthropists are "on the job" they will establish a charity fund for use in these cases; then one can begin to speak about charity.

HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

   9. The ravages of white ants have again caused great trouble in the lower block of the Hospital more especially in Wards XII, XIV and XVI, and I think that the possibility of replacing the wooden beams by iron ones should be seriously considered whenever repairs are again wanted. If these wards require to be shut up at a busy time of the year great inconvenience is caused.

Ward VII, the old female ward, has been slightly altered and fitted up as an operating theatre, a boon which can only be appreciated by those who had to operate under the old system in the wards, where proper arrangements for operations could not possibly be made. A few more instruments are, however, wanted to further perfect arrangements.

10. There is still the pressing want of a good laundry for the Hospital. The complaints last year on the score of bad washing of clothes were as numerous as ever. The contract for the present year has been given to a Japanese washerman in the public laundry, but owing to his having to employ a lot of Chinamen I cannot say so far that the quality of the washing has improved.

HOSPITAL STAFF.

11. There has been little change in the permanent staff during the year. Dr. ATKINSON, the Super- intendent of the Hospital, left for long leave in England on March 1st from which date until the end of the year I acted as Superintendent.

During the plague epidemic Dr. W. F. C. LowsON, Dr. J. F. MOLYNEUX, Surgeon PENNY, R.N., and Surgeon-Major JAMES assisted in the Hospital work as occasion demanded, in addition to getting through their ordinary plague duties. Surgeons MEADEN and BEARBLOCK, R.N., whose duty was mainly that of inspecting the junks, also rendered willing help on numerous emergencies when they

were called on.

   12. We were very fortunate in having our nursing staff reinforced on 9th May, just before our diffi- culties with the plague commenced, by the arrival from England of Miss BARKER (Sister ELIZABETH) and Miss PENRUDDOCKE (Sister MARGARET). I have already in my plague report given my opinion as to the valuable services of all the Sisters during that trying time and would only here repeat that their services were of the greatest value during the year. There could only be one result of their hard work, viz., that they must suffer as far as health was concerned, and I regret to say that several of them have been occasionally off duty owing to sickness since the termination of the epidemic. We have been blamed once or twice for allowing them to do disagreeable plague work, but when it is remembered that no one else but our own staff would put their shoulders to the wheel it will be apparent that patients and dead bodies would have been accumulating by the scores in the hospitals and a state of affairs created which would have been anything but creditable to a British Colony. It was at this period that our Sisters had their chance, and how they took advantage of it is already well known by the community here. The Wardmasters, BRETT, GIDLEY and MCKILLOP, also worked hard. I am also glad to say that we have Chinese, with us in the Medical Department who can get through any amount of work that may be going about such as our clerks, dispensers and one or two of the head "boys." A little fortiter in re treatment was occasionally required and by judiciously combining it with the suaviter in modo (in the shape of extra wages) we were enabled to retain most of our good workers during the summer.

   13. The number of in-patients admitted during the year was 1,963, an increase of 128 as compared with 1893; of the 1,963, 1,709 were males and 254 females. The number of deaths was 101, the death rate percentage being 5.14. During the previous year the death rate was 3.65 per cent. The increase is due to (1) plague deaths, (2) the search parties sending in all sick and moribund people. on the off chance of their being plague, and (3) the number of serious accidents. The number of patients who died within twenty-four hours after admission was 23, whilst 17 more died within forty- eight hours.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

The number of out-patients was abnormally large, as the second reason given above for the increased death rate applied to some extent to those who had trifling ailments. The number of pre- scriptions (5,993) issued does not adequately represent the amount of work done in the out-patient department.

The average daily number in Hospital was SS.06 as against 79.3 in the preceding twelve months. 14. Of the 101 deaths the following is a list of the principal causes :--

15. Police. There were 505 admissions from the Police Force during the year, a decrease of 17. The number of sick European members was 7 less, Indians 11 less, and Chinese 1 more than in 1893. There were 15 deaths-4 Indians and 11 Chinese; 7 of the Chinese died from plague, 21 ndians com- mitted suicide, and 1 Indian and 1 Chinese were shot.

16. Gaol Officers.-From the Gaol we had 66 admissions. The principal causes, as usual, were "Gaol Dyspepsia" (Arcoholic Gastritis), venereal and malarial diseases. During the winter months several cases of influenza were admitted, but the type of this disease was mild.

The main causes for admission were as follows:-

Plague,

Intermittent Fever,

Remittent Fever, Enteric Fever,

17. The intermittent fever cases show a diminution of almost 100. The remittent fever cases are

also reduced, 81 being the number during the previous year. I regret to say that enteric fever seems on the increase, so far as our Hospital statistics go, as 8 more cases were treated in 1894 than in 1893. Of the 21 admitted it will be seen that 3 died, a somewhat high death rate from enteric, but only to be expected when so many come for treatment late in the disease.

I have mentioned that 272 cases of venereal disease do not represent the total number of cases treated as owing to our being frequently short of beds last year many were treated in the out-patient department who would as a rule have been admitted to Hospital, such as cases of syphilitic lesions of a mild type, buboes, &c.

The alcoholic cases I have already spoken about.

18. The number of admissions of cases of dysentery went up to 61, an increase of 11, and of that number 2 died both being long standing cases not, however, of the nature of Psilosis. One of them was only twenty hours in Hospital before death, being moribund on admission. During the year the dysenteric cases were treated on the most simple lines. These were as follows:-In the acute congestive or inflammatory stage by sulphate of magnesia; in the acute ulcerative stage by castor oil followed by opium and ipecacuanha; in a few instances preceded by a short course of sulphate of magnesia to relieve any inflammatory mischief which might attend the ulceration; whilst in the chronic stage of ulceration enteroclysis was the remedy almost solely used. The amount of equal parts of saturated boracic solution and hot water which was injected into the bowel by siphon action in the latter case was always about two pints, sometimes up to four, and was continued until the patient had an uncomfortable sensation in his belly. The patient lay on his left side with his buttocks well elevated so as to favour the filling of the whole of the lower intestine. Milk and soda was the only food allowed, and in my experience cases treated locally in this manner did far better than those who previously were treated by drugs or by small boracic injections which seldom got further up than the Sigmoid Flexure. The irrigator pan ought not to be more than three feet above the patient's buttocks, and no danger will arise in cases of serious ulceration. This fills the large bowel just as effectually as-often more so than the long tube, which is often a most dangerous instrument to use in these cases.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

945

The more experience of dysentery I get the more do I abominate what I can only term "fiddle sticking"-jumping treatment from one drug to another every other day and month. There are many diarrhoeas which are classed as dysentery where the amaba coli is absent but where straining and blood may be present. Foeter is often great and in these cases what might be termed a "high" state of affairs is present in the bowel. In these cases a dose of castor oil followed by the regular use of some intestinal antiseptic such as salol, naphthol or arsenite of copper generally brings about early improvement. The great difficulty always arises in getting sailors persuaded to remain on milk dier long enough. When the case has been a long standing one the sailor ought to seek shore employment for a time, as relapses are almost sure to follow a resumption of "salt junk" and rum. I give these views in the full knowledge that treatment of dysentery is generally one of the last things one should dogmatise about.

19. Beri-beri. Twenty cases were admitted during the year and there were no deaths from this disease. Some cases from the China Navigation boat Chingtu led me to investigation on board the ship. It was found that for several voyages, small epidemic of beri-beri had broken out at different periods. New men were generally shipped in Japan, and it was usually on the way down to Australia that new cases cropped up-on that particular voyage two men had died from beri-beri. This simply goes to show that the most careful disinfecting measures should be taken to prevent recurrence of the disease. In the case of the Chingtu an efficient disinfection by carbolic acid was recommended, in addition to afterwards shipping a new crew; and I am informed by Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's representative that the results have been most favourable. A similar case of infection of a ship by Beri-beri occurred on board the Canadian Pacific boat Abyssinia when I was surgeon on board. The Chinese firemen's fo'c'sle became infected and every trip to Vancouver produced cases of beri-beri, two particular bunks always supplying patients. Disinfection was carried out by corrosive sublimate solution, but even to the last a case occasionally cropped up. The solution of carbolic acid should be strong-1 in 5 or thereabouts-and freely applied; do not mind hurting the woodwork. In a case of well marked infection it will always be a good investment for owners to tear out the woodwork, more especially if it is old, and replace it with new material. This is what would have been done on the Abyssinia had I had the experience I have at present, but the good old craft was most effectually disinfected later on, as two years ago she was burned to the water's edge and now reposes at the bottom of the deep in Mid-Atlantic.

Several of the cases were of a subacute type and were much more severe than the usual type of the disease met with in Hongkong. Dr. W. W. MYERS, of Taiwanfoo, saw two such cases when visiting here and he remarked that they were very like those of pernicious malarial attacks he frequently met with in Southern Formosa and which were attended by prominent nervous symptoms. Although these were out of the common for Hongkong I think he was persuaded they were bona fide cases of beri-beri.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

of the dorsal spinous processes although there was some paralysis of the lower limbs after the injury, the patient rapidly recovered from the results of his accident (falling down a ship's hold). There were only three dislocations treated during the year, all of the shoulder. In one case the victim was the "boy" of a well known resident in the Colony and when he came to Hospital he was wearing one of his master's silk singlets. By a curious coincidence the master had mentioned the previous evening to me and others his suspicion that his "boy" was pilfering.

                     was pilfering. When the youth left Hospital he was accompanied by an attendant with a note which led to an interesting scene between master and servant, the upshot being that the latter got two months at a pound and a half of oakum per diem, with a turn at the crank occasionally to give him an appetite. This calm method of Chinese "boys" and washermen using European clothing is much more of a nuisance than most residents are aware of, as I am perfectly sure that much skin disease is propagated by it.

I regret that the list of operations performed during the year is rather incomplete principally owing to our being short-handed during the greater portion of the time. Many minor operations such as paracentesis thoracis or abdominis, excisions of buboes, circumcisions, dilation of strictures, excisions of small tumours, opening abscesses and removal of necrosed bone have not been recorded for that reason.

   Nine deaths took place after operation. In the case of a Chinaman who had his thigh amputated and re-amputated for necrosis of lower end of the femur the patient one morning announced his determination to die and persistently refused to take food. Notwithstanding that he was fed by stomach tube he gradually wasted and died, the operation wound being practically healed.

                                            A post mortem examination revealed nothing which could definitely be laid down as the cause of death. After an amputation at the elbow joint in a machinery accident a Chinese patient never rallied and died in about forty-eight hours. He had internal injuries as well, but a post mortem examination was not allowed. A gunshot wound of the abdomen proved fatal to a coolie during the coolie riots in April. He was walking along Queen's Road just below the Hospital when a member of an opposite clan faction walked up to him and shot the unsuspecting coolie in the abdomen. The coolie walked up to the Hospital and lay down in the waiting room collapsed. The bullet had entered about two inches to the right and one inch above the umbilicus, whilst the wound of exit was about one inch below the last floating rib and 2 inches from middle line. With Dr. AYRES arriving opportunely at the moment he was put on the table and his abdomen opened in the hope of being able to stop the hamorrhage, which was already apparent by percussion and palpation. The peritoneum was full of blood, and although by grasping and pressure on the spot where the blood seemed to well from (in the region of the portal vein) it appeared to lessen, still the hamorrhage went on and it was impos- sible to stop the rush of blood; consequently the abdomen was reluctantly closed and the man died within quarter of an hour. At the post mortem examination it was found the bullet had perforated the large intestine, the stomach (full of rice), and had then torn through the portal vein as well as the hepatic artery. Unfortunately the ruffian who shot him was not captured.

In the Wing Lok Street murder a most interesting surgical case was produced which is put on record as an instance of what injury the heart can suffer and yet the patient live for a considerable time after its production. Whilst arresting an armed burglar there P. C. AMEER SINGH was shot through the right arm and in the chest. The bullet which injured the arm was extracted from the carpus. The second bullet first hit a metal button on the man's tunic which deflected it slightly to the right (the patient's left). It then entered the patient's body in the third interspace about one inch and a quarter to the left of the middle line. On slightly enlarging the opening the track could be felt and a groove in the heart could be distinctly made out by the small finger. The bullet could not be felt so the wound was dressed with iodoform, and no more surgical interference at that time was attempted. The patient was a man of magnificent physique and somewhat inclined to adiposity. On the following day, 23rd December, he had some hamoptysis and his heart had improved in action as his pulse could now be easily felt compared with the previous evening when it was imperceptible. He was put on small doses of morphia during the day. At 10.15 p.m. his respirations were 72 per minute, pulse 116, not moved about for examination. On the 24th December pneumothorax on left side was diagnosed and there was some fullness in the left axilla which on the 25th was cut down on and the bullet extracted in the line of the posterior fold of the axilla. There was some pericardial friction to be made out on this day and pneuino-thorax diagnosed with fluid of some description in the pleura. After the bullet was extracted a very great amount of sero-sanguineous fluid was discharged by the new opening and hopes were entertained that he might now recover. On the 26th and 27th December the discharge was very copious and the pulse kept fairly good. The front wound had healed and the pericardial rub had almost cleared away-at least could not be noted-but no breath sounds were to be heard over the left lung. On the 28th December, however, towards noon his pulse became very bad and he rapidly sank in spite of stimulants, &c, and died at three o'clock the same afternoon. The following post mortem notes give the state of affairs found the following morning. The bullet entered skin in line of nipples one inch and quarter from median line.

It then passed through the third interspace and entered the pericardium bruising and indenting the heart about two inches from the base of the pulmonary artery just over the interventricular septum. It then passed out of the pericardium and entered the left lung about one inch and a quarter from the free edge of the lung, travelled through the lung and passed out in the sixth interspace in the mid-axillary line,

grazing the upper border of the seventh rib.

border of the seventh rib. It had then burrowed up into the axilla.

"The peri- cardium contained about ten ounces of defibrinated blood and both surfaces of the pericardium were thickly covered with fibrin deposited on the serous membrane. Left pleura contained some sero- purulent fluid and left lung was almost completely collapsed." The heart had the same "graze" upon it post mortem which I felt with my little finger half an hour after the accident. Had I known of or even suspected the pericardial fluid conditions soon after the injury it is just possible we might have been able to pull him through.

  Such an injury is rare where the patient can after its infliction do as this man did. He retained hold of his prisoner until help reached him (about five or ten minutes afterwards), then walked about fifty yards to the nearest chair and was carried to the Charge Room where he gave particulars to the Inspector in charge, and was then carried to Hospital where he survived his injuries for six days.

This tragedy gave us another operative case. The man who inflicted the injuries on the police- man was shot in the hip by one of his comrades, and in this case I was able to extract the bullet from his hip at once and he got well only to meet his fate on the scaffold along with another of his col- leagues in crime.

Two deaths occurred after operative interference necessitated by severe head injuries. One of these was the subject of important medico-legal proceedings. A private of marines from H. M. S. Tamar went into the Hongkong Hotel bar for refreshment and had a quarrel with one of the "boys" who promptly jumped over the counter with a big stick in his hand and hit the sailor on the head about an inch and a half above the right eye. The sailor fell on the back of his head on the tiled floor and he was then brought up to Hospital. As he had evidently been drinking heavily his stomach was washed out after his general state had been examined. His pupils were equal and dilated whilst his pulse was slow between 60 and 72. He remained comatose for about twenty minutes when he sud- denly ceased breathing--10 p.m. A careful examination of the head had revealed no more of note than a small swelling on the posterior left parietal region. A needle inserted at the site of bruise on forehead failed to discover a fracture and no blood came from nose or ears. From 10 p.m. till 6 a.m. the following morning artificial respiration was kept up during which time the pulse remained good, unless of course when the artificial respiration was left off. When left off, it took from one minute and forty seconds to two minutes and a half for the pulse to disappear at the wrist, when on resuming operations it again returned. At 6 a.m. with daylight to assist I again made a careful examination of his head and detected by a needle a fracture at the site of the swelling over the left parietal region and, resolving to trephine, sent for Deputy Inspector General KNOTT to see the case with me. How- ever, before he came the man's pulse began to flag and it was evidently necessary to trephine at once if any good was to be done. This was not an easy matter seeing that artificial respiration and all its difficulties had to be reckoned with. Trephining over the spot revealed the presence of a large blood clot, about an ounce of which was removed after incising the dura mater. Notwithstanding the relief of pressure the pulse continued to get worse and he died about thirty-five minutes after. Another hamorrhage was found at the base of the brain with another fracture separate from that at site of operation. Interesting medico-legal discussion ensued; but the prisoner was set free through want of identification. By the mail the following week came Professor VICTOR HORSLEY'S paper on head injuries wherein he stated that in many cases of head injury artificial respiration is the proceeding necessary to keep the heart going, and the above case certainly bears this out. Whether an earlier trephination would have done any good in this case is extremely doubtful, but by keeping up artificial respiration there is no doubt that occasionally valuable time may be gained for operative procedures to be undertaken. The period taken for the pulse to become imperceptible is also notable. Although of the nature of an experiment it was not so in the first instance, as when I was called to see him on one occasion his heart could not be heard, though effective manipulation soon brought back its action and the usual good pulse. The variations in time of disappearance of pulse I expect were dependent on the previous effectiveness of the artificial respiratory process.

   One case of abscess of liver died which was operated on in extremis. Post mortem it was found that the liver was not enlarged but was merely a sack of pus, the actual amount of liver tissue remain- ing being very small indeed. This normal size of area of dulness together with absence of tenderness and other signs of abscess had led to operation being delayed till too late. The other case of abscess of liver recovered rapidly after resection of about three inches of rib when cfficient local medication could be applied. Many cases of liver abscess improve rapidly when this can be done, and I often wonder why some of our surgeons who have had or should have large experience of this matter do not give their views in a succinct manner. We have lengthy dissertations on the local medicinal treatment of ulcerated throats, suppurating knee joints, empyamas, ozona, &c., but few (if any) have given opinions on the local medication of liver abscess. Perhaps most people think it useless. It generally is, unless properly done. Iodine, cresol and a dozen other drugs are injected and prove useless because often all they touch is simply necrosed and broken down tissue. Few people would dream of applying nitric acid to a bad phagodenic penis until they had removed sloughs by a Volkman's spoon, yet it is very nearly the same condition which holds good in many liver abscesses where the necrosis of tissue goes on in a very similar manner, as is found out by those who take the trouble to make a post mortem examination of the case. In addition to the above two cases operated

on other two died, one of pyamic abscesses of lung and liver, the other of multiple abscesses caused by galt stones embedded in the substance of the liver to the number of about one hundred. This patient was aspirated, but none of the small abscesses were hit on.

The two cases of strangulated hernia operated on recovered rapidly. One of them occurred in a coolie who had a right inguinal strangulated hernia operated on only one month before by Dr. THOMSON of the Alice Memorial Hospital. Dr. ATKINSON operated on the left one, and the man as I have said recovered rapidly. It is not often that a man has a strangulated hernia on both sides within a month and recovers from a double operation.

   Of other operations which did well one was the case of a young sailor who had been in Hospital for some time suffering from compound fracture of thigh. Necrosis followed and he became very emaciated. Assisted by Drs. JORDAN and BELL and Surgeon-Major JAMES I removed the leg through the lesser trochanter, the difficulty of getting good flaps being insuperable owing to the existence of numerous sinuses. However, the leg was removed at this level because amputation at the hip meant death in this case. After the operation he remained collapsed for ten hours when his condition was so desperate that he was transfused with about four pints of saline solution at a temperature of 110° F. in the funnel of the transfuser. The pulse immediately.improved and the state of shock disappeared. He recovered without a bad symptom, although convalescence was somewhat tedious. The points to remember in transfusing are to give plenty of fluid and let it be hot, say, 110° F. in the funnel, and most important of all is to give it before the patient is in extremis. This poor fellow was well and going about Hongkong in a chair when he contracted enteric fever and died a few days before the date on which he had arranged to sail for England.

.

A rare condition of affairs turned up in the person of a small Chinese boy, at. 13, who was suffering from enormous hypertrophy of the gums of both upper and lower jaws. Very few of these cases are on record. Dr. NOBLE fortunately was able to get a pretty accurate mould of the growths. With the assistance of Surgeon-Major JAMES and Surgeon PENNY the upper jaw was first tackled and a considerable portion of it removed along with the tumour. Hamorrbage was considerable, but no bad effects resulted from it. A month later the major portion of the lower jaw was removed, again with some considerable hamorrhage. He was discharged when I was in Japan. There was no recur- rence of the tumours when he left Hospital, but I expect that in time they will recur; his present whereabouts are unknown.

21. Poisons. The acute poisoning cases during the year included poisoning from morphia, calomel, fish, sewer gas, opium, datura, alcohol and chlorine, whilst the caterpillar plague in Kowloon introduced to our notice a peculiar form of cellulitis with anaesthesia in several of the men who had to handle tons of these animals. The disinfecting operations by chlorine gave rise to several rather severe cases of poisoning by that vapour.

22. Vaccinations.-188 vaccinations were performed during the year.

   The vaccine supplied by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon has again given most satisfactory results.

   23. Fees. The fees received from patients in the Hospital amounted to $15,476.70, of which the Board of Trade contributed $3,080 and the Police $891.14. The fees received from patients treated in the Lunatic Asylums amounted to $551, and those for patients treated in the Small-pox Shed or Hygeia amounted to $385.50, the gross revenue from this source amounting to $16,413.20, a decrease of $1,800. On looking at the monthly receipts it is found that in May, June, July, August and September, a great reduction of revenue occurred. Plague again, I presume.

Twenty-one first class patients were treated, and one hundred and thirty-two second class.

   I have to thank numerous residents who have catered for the patients' comforts and recreations. It is to be regretted that their kindness, especially to the seafaring population, is generally forgotten in our local Piccadilly-Queen's Road West-which to my mind, considering the size of the European community, is over-populated with bad grog-shops and worse liquor.

11.-LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

   24. There is very little to report on under this head. The total number of admissions was 47. Of these 9 were Europeans, 1 Coloured and 37 Chinese.

   The number of deaths was 6, all Chinese. 19 Chinese were sent to Canton to a benevolent institu- tion there. 8 Chinese lunatics were transferred from the Tung Wa Hospital.

Wardmaster BAYLEY left on 31st July and Wardmaster MCKILLOP was appointed on 1st August. The two buildings are in good condition at present and very few repairs were necessary during

the year.

   The fees for first class patients have been again raised, as also those for lunatics landed in the Colony from ships. The amount received in fees was $551.00.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

III.-EPIDEMIC HOSPITALS.

949

25. During the year Kennedytown Police Barracks was handed over temporarily to the Medical Department and ultimately was taken over permanently as an Epidemic Hospital. Its retention as such was strongly recommended by a number of people who knew little or nothing about it, whilst those who new most about it were not consulted in the matter at all. It is most satisfactory to know that this Police "white elephant" has been ultimately made "passable" as an infectious hospital at some considerable cost. Whether it will ever be seriously required I doubt very much. During the winter months it makes a pleasant country residence for some of the Police Force, who previously had no use for the building-so it was said.

26. The following extracts from my report on the plague show most of the details wanted in this report:-

"The Hygeia proved a most valuable hospital for Europeans, every medical visitor being greatly impressed with its suitability for this purpose providing as it did plenty of fresh air, every breeze in the harbour, no mosquitoes, and the charm of sea life during convalescence. It would probably have gone very hard with some of the European patients and the Japanese doctors had they been treated on shore, every slight breeze in the harbour bringing great relief to the sufferers. When the rush of Chinese patients came, however, the ship was rather taxed for accommodation, as one private ward had to be used as a mortuary, another as an office, and the others to accommodate the extra staff, &c., which was necessary. Her use as a European hospital during last summer alone has more than justified her existence."

  "Kennedytown Barracks proved a fairly good hospital, but its proximity to the trees on Mount Davis made it a hunting ground for flies and mosquitoes which sometimes added greatly to our patients' sufferings. The arrangements of the rooms also left much to be desired."

"It will be noticed that in August and September the proportion of observation cases was large. It was most essential at this period that all possible foci of disease should be removed; and it must be remembered too that at this stage of the epidemic, apparent glandular swellings were seldom met with. Of the fifty-one cases of plague admitted in August only eight had visible buboes when admitted; whilst only two developed them in hospital."

"In addition to these there were treated in the Government Civil Hospital Isolation Wards 32, of which-

  27. The Hygeia was opened on May 10th and was shut on August 8th. Kennedytown Hospital was opened on May 14th and shut on September 26th.

28. There were nineteen cases of small-pox treated, with one death.

  29. A destructive typhoon on October 6th caused serious damage to the Hygeia, blowing off the the roof and doing a lot more damage, the cost of repairs amounting to $5,000. Most of this was due to swinging propensities of the ship. As she is moored she is bound to swing considerably when it is blowing, and then the wind catches the overhanging roof and whisks it up into the air. Why she

950

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

swings so readily is because she is so lightly built when compared with the Victor Emanuel and Meeanee, which being heavier swing more slowly. I would suggest as a preventive of future serious loss that a small stern anchor be provided which would limit the arc through which she swings and which would only be used when the weather became bad. The danger would then be that a semi- competent Chinaman would either forget to look out for the change of wind in a typhoon or, if seeing it, take no notice of it. It strikes me that an intelligent European with a handy stern anchor and a few Chinese to assist would have been able to do a great deal towards lessening the damage caused by the gale. Perhaps the Honourable the Harbour Master might give his opinion on this proposal.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Enclosure 2.

Report from the Medical Officer in charge of Gaol Hospital.

GAOL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 19th March, 1895.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the report and the following statistical tables of the work done last year :-

   Table IX.--K. shows the admissions and mortality; Table XIa.-M. the cases that were admitted at the first medical examination; Table X.--N. the cases that were treated without being received into Hospital. The rate of sickness and mortality is given in Table XI.-0; the number of

                                                     percent- age of prisoners admitted at first medical examination in Table XIb.--L; that of opium-smokers admitted into Hospital in Table XI.-P.; the weight of the opium-smokers for the first four weeks' confinement in Table XI.-Q.

2. I regret that I was unable to furnish this report sooner. Formerly all these tables were printed first in the Gaol, but for the past two years, the number of prisoners engaged in the printing room has been reduced and much of the work that used to be done there has been discontinued in consequence. We have now to depend entirely on the Government Printers who, although most willing, have been lately very busy with various reports.

   3. The admissions into Hospital amounted to 271 men including 26 Europeans, being one less than in the preceding year. The commonest diseases were as usual fever and anamia. Eight Chinese had erysipelas, but of a very mild type with the exception of one that resulted in a deep abscess of left fore-arm. There were also two cases of carbuncle.

   4. At the first medical examination 70 men were received into Hospital, 41 were put on observa- tion, including 15 men sent by the Magistrates for certificate as to their mental condition. Seven were found to be suffering from derangement of mind, one had epilepsy and another locomotor ataxy.

   5. The number of prisoners that were treated without being admitted into Hospital was 614, comprising a man who had a small carbuncle on his right shoulder and 19 women that were attended at the Female Prison. The total greatly exceeds that of the previous year. There was a noticeable increase of scabies and of men suffering from the effects of flogging.

   6. Five Chinese male prisoners succumbed from the following causes :-anamia and pulmonary congestion, consequent on cirrhosis of liver and kidneys; from remittent fever and congestion of lungs; from pulmonary phthisis and dysentery, and two from chronic pneumonic phthisis. All these men with the exception of the one who died of remittent fever and pleuritic effusion, and who was an old offender, never did the work to which they had been sentenced, some being put to light labour and shortly afterwards to reduced task, while others did no work at all. One, an ex-convict, was kept in Hospital while on remaind, another who had returned from banishment was admitted on the very day in which he was sentenced. One Indian was executed by order of the Supreme Court, and two Chinese committed suicide by hanging themselves in their cells. One of them had been in Gaol before.

7. With regard to leprosy, 7 Chinese who were sentenced for mendicancy, one as rogue and vagabond, and another for unlawful possession, were found to be affected with that disease. Four of the mendicants declared that they were residing in Chinese Kowloon and one near Canton. They had in their pockets prescriptions signed by a European doctor. It appears that two had been before in Hongkong and were sent away by the Police, but managed to return again. If a dispensary had been

951

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

established at Yaumati, as I before suggested, it would not only have benefited the poor class living in the neighbourhood, but would also have somewhat lessened the number of prisoners in the Gaol, as those patients, who now resort to this city for treatment and are arrested for begging in the streets, would cease frequenting it if they obtained medicines free of charge there.

  8. During the plague epidemic in this Colony, the quantity of disinfectants in daily use in this Gaol was doubled and every precaution was taken to prevent its introduction. Three Chinese, a few days after being incarcerated, showed symptoms of the disease which, I believe, was contracted outside the Gaol, as it may be inferred from the following brief notes :--One of them, 46 years old, was sentenced on the 19th of May to two months' hard labour for neglecting to report a plague case.

He was confined in a special cell together with two others who had been convicted of a similar offence. On the 27th he had plague, and on the same day he paid his fine and was released. Another patient, aged 21 years, got one month hard labour on the 5th of June, for stealing from person. I passed him as fit for work, but on the 8th he had fever and was kept in Hospital. Gradually the signs of plague became manifest. You will recollect that you and Surgeon-Major JAMES saw this man on the 13th. He was released next day. The other man, an old offender, 45 years old, was sentenced on the 12th June to fourteen days for fighting. On the 20th I had to examine him for punishment for not having picked all his oakum. I noticed that he did not look well; he was feverish, temperature 99°2. He was immediately put in Hospital. This man stated that he had felt sick for the last three days. He complained to me some days previously of constipation and was treated accordingly. On the 21st he was also released. All these three patients were conveyed to the Epidemic Hospital at Kennedytown. It is generally admitted that the mean period of incubation of plague is five or six days or about a week. It is evident that these men had contracted the disease before their imprisonment. This Gaol was as fortunate in the late plague epidemic as it was in the small-pox epidemic in 1889.

9. In the Female Gaol some prisoners were under treatment for considerable time, three women who had been convicted of breach of plague and one of small-pox Ordinance, were put on observation. Another woman was also under medical observation, as there was doubt about her sanity. Her mind was found to be affected.

The Matron, Mrs. M. NOLAN, has continued to discharge satisfactorily the duty of nurse.

10. The sanitary condition of both Gaols may be pronounced to have been good. The admissions into Hospital would have shown a considerable reduction on those of the previous year but for 34 prisoners that were sentenced for trespassing in the infected area and for other offences against the plague Ordinance and were kept for observation for twenty days. One of them, as already stated, had the symptoms of plague developed a few days after being admitted. It was also thought prudent, as in the case of the female prisoner, to keep on observation a man who had neglected to report a case of small-pox.

11. Many serious injuries which have occurred cannot be said to be accidental, but have been self inflicted by the prisoners to escape from hard labour. Some prisoners let the shot fall upon their feet causing big wounds and fracturing bones, others hurt their fingers, or preferred flogging, which leave indelible marks, rather than work at the crank. A high percentage of these convicts for want of food or help to emigrate where they could get decent living are committed to Gaol again.

   12. The supply of lymph having ran short for about three months, there was an interruption in the vaccination of the prisoners, but I do not think it was of much consequence, for, as I have stated before, the majority of the Chinese prisoners are found to have been vaccinated or inoculated when very young in their homes.

The subjoined table gives the number of the prisoners that have been vaccinated since it was first started :-

13. Assistant warder AHMED was granted four months' leave and his post was temporarily filled by turnkey TOWNSEND. Warder FLORES had to go away for a week, owing to sickness. It was a matter of no little difficulty to find a person able to supply the vacancy thus caused. Dr. Lowson, the Acting Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, kindly sent Wardmaster MCKILLOP. On resignation of turnkey TOWNSEND, turnkey JouNSSEN was appointed in his place.

I think it would be advisable to train one or two turnkeys so as to have competent men to replace the Hospital warders when necessary. Their duty is not so easy as it is commonly supposed to be.

Report of the Government Analyst.

GOVERNMENT LABORATORY,

HONGKONG, 4th June, 1895.

SIR, I have the honour to submit a statement of the work done in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1894.

TOXICOLOGICAL.

2. Under this head six investigations were conducted. In two of the cases a decoction of coffee was the substance submitted for analysis. Aconitine in considerable quantity was detected in one enquiry; in the second case no unwholesome ingredient was found. This is, I believe, the first case of poisoning by aconite in the criminal annals of Hongkong, and its use by the Chinese for an unlawful purpose is of interest to the toxicologist in that it adds another to the many points of similarity between the agents used in criminal poisoning in India and South China. The small quantity of the beverage forwarded for analysis unquestionably contained enough of the poison to kill a human being; and the escape from death of those to whom it had been served can only be attributed to the post- prandial habit of sipping the liquid instead of swallowing it at a single gulp. The tingling sensation on the tongue characteristic of aconite was noted immediately the coffee was tasted, and suspicions being aroused the remainder of the beverage was rejected. It is to be regretted that the criminal was not tracked down in this case. Poisoning by aconite is quite another thing to drugging by datura, and death frequently results therefrom.

3. The contents of a bowl of curried fowl were analysed at the request of the Principal Medical Officer, Army Medical Staff, and found to contain 84.38 grains of orpiment, the yellow sulphide of arsenicum. The curry had been prepared for one of the Lascar Artillerymen. Whether the incorpo- ration of the orpiment was due to accident or design is uncertain; there was no evidence to support a charge before the Magistrate.

4. A basin of rice suspected to contain noxious material was examined on the requisition of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol and found to contain a considerable quantity of the aniline dye methyl-violet.

5. Post Mortem Case. The contents of the stomach of a European male adult were analysed at the request of one of the surgeons of this Department. Chloroform, and a resinous substance similar to that derived from Indian hemp, morphine, oil of peppermint-constituents of chlorodyne-were detected.

6. Datura.-An alkaloid indistinguishable from the active principle of the Chinese drug Nau Yeung Fa (Flower of Datura Alba Nees.) was isolated from the contents of a small packet found on the person of a young Chinaman who was subsequently sentenced to six years' imprisonment with hard labour.

"THE MORPHINE ORDINANCE, 1893."

7. In three prosecutions under this Ordinance, eight exhibits were forwarded by the Police Magistrate for examination. In two out of the three instances the exhibits were found to contain hydrochlorate of morphine.

MILK.

8. Ten analyses of samples of milk supplied under contract to the Government Civil Hospital were made during the year. The results of the analyses were in every instance satisfactory. No samples were sent by the Sanitary Board during the period under review.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 355.

The following Report on the Progress of the Public Works during the first half-year 1895, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 16th instant, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th August, 1895.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

No. 331.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE, HONGKONG, 3rd August, 1895.

   SIR, I have the honour to report on the work of this department for the first half of the current year as follows :

ANNUAL RECURRENT WORKS.

2. Repairs to Buidings.-The ravages of white ants have necessitated considerable expenditure on some of the Government buildings, especially on Queen's College, the Lunatic Asylums and Government Civil Hospital.

   With the exception of Sai-ying-pun and Yau-ma-ti Markets and the drainage of Hung Hom Police Station and of the Officers' Quarters, Stonecutter's Island, the works done under this heading have been mainly that of miscellaneous repairs.

   3. Maintenance of Telegraphs.-The telegraphic and telephonic systems have been maintained in a satisfactory condition. The wooden poles on the line from Stanley to Shaukiwan have been replaced by iron ones, and similar work is now in progress on the line from Pokfulam to Aberdeen.

  Telephonic communication has been established between Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Police Stations, and etween the Colonial Secretary's Office and the Civil Hospital.

   4. Public Cemetery.In addition to the usual work of maintenance, a small extension has been carried out on the north side adjoining the Roman Catholic Cemetery, and an additional fountain has been constructed.

   5. Praya Wall and Piers.-The praya wall and piers so far as desirable owing to the progress of the Reclamation Works have been kept in a satisfactory state of repair. Some damages to the praya wall in front of the Wharf and Godown Co.'s premises, Kowloon, caused by the objectionable

ractice of removing stones from the rubble foundations for ballasting ships, have been made good.

6. Lighthouses.-The lighthouses have been kept in an efficient state of repair.

   In addition to the ordinary repairs, iron shutters and strong wooden doors have been fitted to the exposed windows and door openings in the Light Keepers' Quarters, Tower, and Water Tank of the Gap Rock Lighthouse.

   7. Dredging Foreshores.--The dredger since her repair has been engaged in removing material from Causeway Bay and from the approach to the temporary wharf in front of the New Market.

   The dredger has been lent for short periods to the Military Authorities and the Wharf and Godown Co.

   8. Miscellaneous Works.-The principal works carried out under this heading are the construction of retaining walls in the Glenealy Ravine above Robinson Road, the repair of the Tytam filter beds, the repair of the conduit and slope south of Inland Lot 932, the removal of silt from the Pokfulam reservoir, and the construction of retaining walls and making good the surface where the bank slip-

ed at the Magazine Gap end of the Mount Gough Road.

The only work in progress is the construction of a slipway at the Police dock basin, Kowloon.

9. Maintenance of Roads and Bridges.-The roads and bridges throughout the Colony have been maintained without any exceptional expenditure.

10. Maintenance of Water Works.-No exceptional expenditure other than that mentioned under the heading Miscellaneous Works has been incurred in connection with water works. The yield of the catchment areas proved insufficient for the continuance of the constant supply during April and May.

11. Maintenance of Sewers.-The sewers have been maintained in as satisfactory a condition as existing circumstances, pointed out in my last annual report, permit.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

955

12. Lighting. The lighting of the City of Victoria and Kowloon has been satisfactorily carried out by the Electric and Gas Companies in their respective districts.

  13. Maintenance of Public Recreation Ground.-No exceptional expenditure has been incurred under this heading.

An iron railing has been ordered to replace the old wooden one on the west side of the ground, and will shortly be fixed.

LAND SURVEY BRANCHI.

14. During the half-year one land sale has taken place, the area sold being 36,130 square feet. Premium realized $1,816. Annual Crown rent $90.

15. By special agreement the owners have entered upon---

Marine Lot 90, Sections P. R. S. U. V.

Marine Lot 91, Sections A. M.

Marine Lot 92, Sections A. J. K. L.

Marine Lot 106,

Praya Reclamation, Crown rent payable from the date of entry being $826 per annum.

16. Extensions to existing lots of a total area of 117,404 square feet have been granted. Pre- mium realized $4,327.72. Annual Crown rents $306.31.

17. Surveys have been made, boundaries corrected, and plans and particulars forwarded to the Land Office for the issue of 34 new leases.

  18. Rent collected for the occupation of ground at Race Course 7th February, 1895, amounted to $1,831.

  19. Squatters' fees amounting to $4,439.59 have been collected, leaving $850.45 to be collected during the remaining half-year.

20. Some miscellaneous surveys and plans have been completed, including those of-

Kennedy Town.

Enclosed area Taipingshan, with details of lots.

Jervois and Hillier Streets and Queen's Road block.

Green Island and Sulphur Channel.

Magazine Gap Road.

Garden Road, Public Gardens, and locality.

Arsenal Street, Queen's Road West and locality.

Farm Lot 12, Ma Ti, and roads as proposed through same. Village Tai Hang.

Site Plan of old Gaol, &c., Stonecutter's Island. Portions of the Taitam Valley.

WORK UNDER THE BUILDING ORDINANCE.

  21. During the half-year 5 plans for the erection of 79 European dwellings, 21 plans for the erection of 177 Chinese dwellings, besides 56 plans for miscellaneous structures have been deposited.

22. Fifteen certificates for 32 houses have been issued under section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889. 23. Permission has been granted to crect verandahs over Crown land in 13 cases, and for 10 piers over Crown foreshore.

  24. Notices have been issued to remove or repair dangerous structures in 111 instances, and 480 miscellaneous permits and notices have been issued.

  25. Permits have been issued for the erection and repair of 26 monuments and enclosures in the Colonial Cemetery.

EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.

  26. Central Market.-This work was completed and handed over to the Sanitary Board on the 30th April last.

  27. Erection of Queen's Statue.-The foundations have been completed. It has been considered advisable to delay the erection of the statue till after the typhoon season, it being found impracticable to complete it before such season cominenced.

956

707

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

   28. Slaughter House, Sheep and Pig Depots:--On the representation of the Sanitary Board, C.S.O. 1995, it was decided to erect another shed on the vacant ground reserved for such extension. Plans and specification have been completed and the work will be commenced at an early date.

29. Gaol Extension.---Considerable progress has been made with this work, the roof was crected over both blocks before the rains commenced, and the internal fittings are well advanced.

30. New Water Mains.-No work of any magnitude has been commenced under this heading. 31. Sewerage of City of Victoria.-The new sewers in the eastern district have been completed and those in Kennedy Town commenced.

32. Water Supply, Kowloon.-The work in the valleys has been completed, and water was turned on to the public fountains in Yau-ma-ti, Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom on the 10th June.

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month :---

On the 25th at 7 p., "A depression appears to be forming in the Northern part of the China Sea." On the 26th at 11.0 a. Forecast :-"barometer falling: moderate E and SE winds: showery." On the 27th at 10.55 a., "There appears to be a typhoon near Bashee Channel." Red Drum hoisted. At 11.5 a. Forecast:-"barometer falling: light or moderate winds, variable: fair to showery."

   On the 28th at 6.30 a., Black Drum hoisted. At 8.30 a., "Typhoon SE of Hongkong apparently moving towards WNW. Strong NE to SE gale expected here." Gun fired one round.

Gun fired one round. At 1.30 p., Black South Cone hoisted. At 4.20 p., "Centre of typhoon SSW of Hongkong, moving towards the coast between Macao and Hoihow." At 6.50 p., Black Ball hoisted.

On the 29th at 10.10 a., Black Ball lowered. At 10.55 a.

S breezes, decreasing: wet and squally."

Forecast:-"barometer rising: strong

On the 25th July a trough-like slight depression was formed across the China Sea between 17° and 19° Lat. as a result of a considerable increase of pressure which had taken place over S China between the 24th and 25th. Between the 26th and 27th a cyclonic depression, which was perhaps central in 18, 118° at noon on the latter day, may have been formed in the eastern part of the trough; but in the absence of observations from S. Formosa or from vessels in the adjacent waters this is uncertain.

970

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH AUGUST, 1895.

  The information for the 27th shows that a rather rapid decrease of pressure was in progress on the SE coast of China, winds there being light chiefly from a S direction, and the weather fine, hot and dry. At Bolinao the barometer was rising and moderate SW and S winds prevailed accompanied by wet weather. At 3 p. on this day we have the following observations:-Amoy 29.64, SSE 3, b: Swatow 29.65, SSW 1, c: Hongkong 29.67, W 1, c: Bolinao 29.73, S 2, or. The only vessel. reporting bad weather on this day was the ship Paramita which experienced a strong W gale in 16° 9', 116° 24'. Unfortunately barometric observations were not recorded.

  The bark Geo. F. Manson began to feel the effects of the advancing typhoon at midnight of the 27th. The vessel was situated in 18° 57', 114° 18′ at this hour when the wind suddenly sprang up and blew with the force of a strong breeze from NNW. The barometer read 29.60 (uncorrected) and the mercury was falling fast. The vessel was steering on a N course, bound for Hongkong, with the wind gradually backing towards W and increasing steadily in force. When they discovered that the vessel was in the left-hand semicircle they decided to run the vessel as nearly as possible to course so as to lose no time; but considering that the barometer continued to fall rapidly with the wind in- creasing in force, this man?uvre was a dangerous one and they barely escaped running into the centre, for at 2 p. on the 28th, the vessel being in 20° 16' 114° 14', the barometer had fallen to its minimum 29.10 (uncorrected) and the wind was of storm force from W by S. The ship Alcedo was situated a few miles to the E and S of Hongkong when at 2 a. on the 28th the barometer, 29.71, began to fall rapidly and at the same time the wind, which had been light and variable, suddenly freshened from ENE. The weather was squally and threatening and lightning was observed in the E and SW. The vessel was on the port tack heading SE by E, in the right-hand semicircle, but as they had no sea- room this could not be avoided. Sail was taken in as required and at noon in 21° 48', 114° 38′ she was lying to under a storm trysail, heading S and making 7 points leeway, the wind being a fierce gale from ESE and the barometer standing at 29.22. Between 1 p. and 2 p. the barometer was at its lowest point, 29.20, with the wind at SE by E, and the vessel was drifting dead before the wind at about 24 knots per hour. After 3 p. the wind commenced to decrease in force with rising barometer.

  At midnight on the 27th the centre may have been in about 20°, 116° and at noon on the 28th it was situated midway between these two vessels and in 21° 00', 114° 30'. At 3 p. it passed about 40 miles to the South of Gap Rock, the barometric minimum, 29.24, occurring there at this. hour with the wind a strong NE veering gale. At Hongkong the lowest barometer reading, 29.45, was recorded near 3 p. and the highest hourly wind velocity registered by the anemograph was 53 miles at 2 p. and 3 p. the direction being NE by E.

  Of other vessels the steamships Tai Cheong, Devawongse and the Austrian frigate Aurora were all situated in the left-hand front quadrant on the morning of the 28th. The Tai Cheong was situated in 19° 59′, 113° 50′ at noon. At 7 a. they had the wind increasing from NW with falling barometer, and they suspected that a typhoon was situated to the NE of the vessel. At 9 a. they therefore rightly ran to the southward. At noon they had a strong W backing gale, but at 3 p. they steered N again as the barometer had commenced rising with the wind steadily backing towards S. The Devawongse was situated in 19° 30', 112° 16' at noon and steering N 31° E. The barometer, 29.61, was falling and the wind a fresh breeze from NW. At 2.50 p. the vessel was very properly turned round and steered S 22° E, the barometer having fallen to 29.54 with the wind a moderate NW gale. They had the wind backing to SW, a fresh breeze, during the afternoon with the barometer rising slowly after 5 p. They steered N 17° E at 10 p. but as the wind increased to a moderate gale accompanied by fierce squalls from S and SW and the barometer had a falling tendency, they again turned the ship's head to the southward and waited till the barometer rose decidedly. The Austrian frigate Aurora was situated in 19° 8', 113° 38′ at 11 a. During the morning hours moderate to strong NW and W breezes were experienced accompanied by constant rain. The wind backed slowly towards SW and the barometer fell to its minimum, 29.53, at 3 p. at which hour the wind was from WSW of the force of a fresh breeze. At 3.15 p. a distinct band of peculiarly disturbed sea was observed to be approach- ing the vessel from ENE. It stretched from NNW to SSE and was between 300 and 400 yards in width. It passed the ship in a few minutes, at the rate of about 6 miles per hour, moving towards WSW. The sea was pyramidal in this area, the tops frequently bursting and throwing up the spray to a height of about 6 feet with a sound as though the vessel was lying in violently boiling water. Before the passing of this band of broken water a rough cross sea prevailed but after its passage the sea calmed down considerably.

At this time the centre was passing at a distance of about 100 miles to the N of the vessel the barometer on board showing the minimum at 3 p. with the wind thereafter backing rather quickly towards S, so that although the trough phenomena often observed in the depressions of more northern latitudes are not always well marked in typhoons, there is every reason to suppose that this phenomenon was connected with the passage of the trough in this case.

Between the 28th and 29th the disturbance moved towards W by N at the rate of about 9 miles per hour and it entered the coast in the neighbourhood of Hui-Ling-San (21° 35, 111° 50′) on the morning of the latter day. At noon on the 29th it was probably situated in 21°, 110° and

during the evening of this day it passed a little to the N of Pakhoi where a NW gale, in the morning, backing to SW, in the evening, was experienced. At the Custom House the lowest barometer reading, 29.26, was made at 11 p., but on board the S.S. Activ at anchor in the port the minimum, 29.41, was registered near 5 p. The weather continued bad between Hongkong and Swatow and to the south- ward on this day. Gradients remained rather steep and strong breezes to fresh gales, chiefly from SSE, accompanied by hard rain squalls prevailed over this area. At 11 a. on the 29th the Austrian frigate Aurora, on the starboard tack in 21°, 113° 45′ heading NW with the wind S by E (force 6 to 7), experienced a sudden squall with the wind veering to SW (force 9), which took the vessel aback, but she was so skilfully handled that no damage was caused. Vessels in the left-hand semi- circle are liable to encounter such veering squalls. In the right-hand semi-circle the squalls usually veer in the proper direction. The ship Alcedo, just outside Hongkong, continued to have a moderate SE gale with heavy rain squalls on the morning of the 29th and at 9 a. as the weather seemed to look worse again and they were unable to get off the lee shore, they decided to turn back and go into the port again.

On the 30th at noon the centre was perhaps in 23° 107 and it apparently filled up slowly as the weather at Pakhoi and Haiphong continued to be influenced by it until the 31st.

PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty.

Lord President.

Lord Kensington.

Speaker of the House of Commons. Mr. Arnold Morley.

HEREAS section 8 (3) of "The Mail Ships Act, 1891," provides that it shall be lawful for

    Her Majesty in Council to make Rules for carrying into effect, as respects British Possessions, the provisions of that Act with respect to the security given by mail ships, and in particular with respect to the commencement of a legal proceeding by service of a writ or process in the Possession, and to the notices to be given to arresting authorities in the Possession, and the evidence to be receivable by such authorities of the security having been given or withdrawn, and the application of the security in discharge of any damages, fine, debt, claim, sum, or forfeiture, where the same are or is recovered or payable either in the British Possession, or under proceedings pending concurrently in that British Possession, and in any other British Possession or the United Kingdom:

990

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST AUGUST, 1895.

7

   Now, therefore, Her Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:

Notices of Exemption.

   1. Any rules of the High Court of Justice in England, made under the provisions of "The Mail Ships Act, 1891" (hereinafter referred to as "the Act"), shall be transmitted by a Secretary of State to the Government of every Possession to which the Act is applied for the purpose of a Convention, and shall be published by such Government in the Gazette of the Possession, and also in such local official Gazettes published in the Possession as the Government of the Possession may prescribe.

   2. A copy of every notice and list published by the Board of Trade under the Act, or under any rules of Court made under the Act, shall be transmitted by a Secretary of State to the Government of every Possession to which the Act is applied for the purpose of a particular Convention.

   3. A copy of every such Notice and list, signed by a Secretary to the Government of the Posses- sion, or other prescribed officer, shall be published in the official Gazette of the Possession, and a copy of such Gazette Notification shall be kept publicly exhibited in the Court-room of every Colonial Court of Admiralty in the Possession, and a copy of the said Gazette containing any such Notification shall be receivable in evidence by every arresting authority in the Possession.

   4. If notwithstanding its exemption, an exempted mail ship is arrested in the Possession, the Government of the Possession, on being informed by the owner of such arrest and of the arresting authority, and on being satisfied that the ship is an exempted mail ship, shall forthwith send a special Notice to the arresting authority, informing him that the ship is an exempted mail ship, and as such entitled to release.

Actions Against Exempted Ships.

5. An action may be commenced against the owners of an exempted mail ship in the like cases, in the same manner and subject to the same rules as an Admiralty action in rem, and in any Colonial Court of Admiralty in the Possession in which such an action might have been brought if the ship were not an exempted mail ship.

Orders, by Courts in British Possessions, for Application of the Security.

6. Any order of a Court in a British Possession directing any security to be applied shall recite the name of the Court and of the action or proceeding, the cause of action, and the judgment debt, and shall comprise a certificate by the Judge of the Court that the ship in respect of which the Judg- ment is given is an exempted mail ship, and might but for such exemption have been arrested and sold in execution thereof, and that the judgment debt is still unsatisfied, and is payable out of the security lodged in respect of the ship in the High Court of Justice in England.

   7. The order may require payment to be made either in London to a named agent of the execu- tion creditor, or in the Possession to some named officer of the Court from which the order issues.

8. Every such order shall be sealed with the seal of the Court, and shall be drawn up in duplicate, addressed to the Admiralty Registrar, Royal Courts of Justice, London, and shall be transmitted under cover to the prescribed officer of the Government of the Possession.

   9. The said duplicate orders when received by the prescribed officer shall be countersigned by him, and shall be forthwith transmitted to a Secretary of State, who shall cause one of such orders to be delivered to the Admiralty Registrar, and the Admiralty Registrar shall, subject to any direction of the High Court, make an order upon the Paymaster-General for payment of the required sum out of the security in accordance with these Rules.

10. Unless the High Court shall otherwise order, and subject to existing rights of priority of liens, orders for the application of any security shall be paid in the order in which they are received by the Admiralty Registrar; but where two or more orders are received at the same time, they shall be paid in the order of their respective dates.

   11. Where the order requires payment to a named agent of the execution creditor in London, the money shall be payable at the rates of exchange current on the day on which the order is received by the Secretary of State.

12. If the order requires payment to be made to a named officer of the Court from which the order issues, such an amount shall be paid out by the Paymaster-General, to a person nominated by the Secretary of State, as will at the rates of exchange current on the day on which the order is received by the Secretary of State be necessary to purchase a draft for the amount of the order pay- able at sight in the Possession, and such draft shall be in favour of the said named officer of the said Court.

13. Where any action or proceeding against the owners of an exempted mail ship is pending in a Court in a British Possession, involving a claim against the security lodged in the High Court in England, the Court in the British Possession shall transmit to the Admiralty Registrar notice of the pendency of such action or proceeding, stating the nature and amount of the claim and the proceed-

ings taken in regard thereto; and in case of the subsequent discontinuance or other conclusion of such action or proceeding, whereby the security ceases to be affected, the Court shall transmit notice of such discontinuance or conclusion. Every such notice shall be sealed, drawn up, addressed and transmitted to the Admiralty Registrar in like manner as an order for the application of the security.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH SEPTEMBER, 1895.

   The typhoon indicated above appears to have been recurving in the Pacific in about 20°, 125° on the 17th and thence to have moved slowly to the NNE. On the 23rd it was approaching S. Kiushui (Japan). It passed to the E of Nagasaki on the 25th and crossed the Inland Sea in about 132° Long. The disturbance apparently continued to move in a NNE direction in the Sea of Japan on the 26th. The S.S. Nuestra Senora de Loreto on the voyage from Manila to Yokohama, which occupied 13 days, encountered this typhoon and was hove to from the 19th to the 21st in about 24°, 127°.

On the 28th at 10.55 a. 64

              A depression is probably forming in NE part of China Sea." At 11.40 a. Forecast" barometer falling: moderate N to NE winds, probably increasing: fair to unsettled,

some rain."

On the 29th at 1.20 a. Two lanterns hoisted vertically. At 11.55 a. "The depression appears to be situated to the NW of Bolinao." Forecast:-"barometer falling: moderate N and NE winds, probably increasing: unsettled, squally, some rain."

On the 29th at 4.50 p. Red Drum hoisted. On the 30th at 11.20 a. "The depression seems to be almost stationary at present." Forecast" barometer unsteady: moderate or fresh N winds: unsettled, squally."

On the 30th at 10.10 p. Cone hoisted. At 10.15 a. degrees latitude.' At 11.0 a.

79

Two lanterns hoisted vertically. On the 31st at 4.15 a. Black South "Typhoon moving westward to the South of Hongkong in about 19° Forecast:-"barometer rising fresh E breezes: squally and showery."

At 6.10 p. Black South Cone lowered.

   The above depression seems to have been forming in about 18° to 20° Lat. and 117° to 118° Long, between the 28th and 30th. During this interval pressure was about 0.1 inch below the normal at Hongkong and along the SE coast of China, moderate to fresh NE to N breezes, accom- panied by squally weather, prevailing in these districts. The barometer was also low, to the extent of about 0.1 inch and upwards, at Bolinao and Manila where light to moderate S and SW breezes prevailed.

   On the 30th the depression commenced to move towards WNW and W. The S. S. Sungkiang in 19° 54', 116° 07' at 4 p. on this day and steering for Hongkong experienced a strong NW backing breeze during the evening. At midnight the barometer had fallen to its lowest point, 29.57, with the wind at SW, a moderate breeze. The bark Matterhorn was at noon situated in 21° 27', 114° 23′ when the wind began to increase from NW. At 6 p. they had a strong gale which veered to NE at 8 p. At 10 p the wind fell calm, but a little later it sprang up from SE but quickly moderated to a fresh breeze at midnight. Barometer readings were not recorded. The centre was situated in 21° 00′, 114° 15′ at midnight of the 30th and it passed to the South of Gap Rock near 4 a. of the 31st.

A strong breeze veering from NNE at 1 a. to ESE at 7 a. was experienced at this station with the lowest recorded barometer reading, 29.54, at 4 a. The S. S. Devawongse was in the left-hand semi-circle. This vessel had been steered N 33° E from her noon position (19° 20', 112° 03') on the 30th, but at 2.30 a. on the 31st her commander found it advisable to put her head to the Southward, as the barometer had begun to fall sharply and the wind had increased to a strong NW breeze accompanied by torrential rain. The wind direction quickly backed towards W as they steered southward, but it increased to a moderate and fresh gale at 5 a. from W by S, accompanied by incessant rain and lightning. The lowest barometer reading, 29.50, was made at 4 a. and at 6.30 a. they steered N 21° E. At 7 a. in 20° 48′, 113° 15′, the barometer had risen to 29.58 with the wind at SW by W decreasing and continuing to back as they proceeded northwards. The bark W. le Lacheur situated in about 21°, 113°, also experienced a strong N backing to W gale between 3. a. and 7 a. of the 31st, the wind suddenly decreasing to a fresh breeze at 8 a. and backing to SW at 10 a. The barometric minimum, 29.48, occurred at 6 a.

   These observations together with those made at Gap Rock show that the area comprised by strong winds was exceedingly small.

   At noon on the 31st the centre was situated in 21° 15', 112° 30'. The S. S. Frejr, in 20° 30', 111° 19′ at noon had a fresh NNE breeze with squally weather. The wind direction was backing, and between 3 p. and 4 p., the vessel being situated in 20° 38', 111° 50' at the latter hour, a strong W gale was experienced, the barometer falling to 29.64. The wind continued to back as they steered towards NE, and at 8 p. it had come to ESE of force 3, the barometer having risen, in the meantime, to 29.69. The S. S. Hongkong had taken shelter in St. John's harbour during the morning and they there experienced strong NE winds, the barometer reading 29.62 at 4 p. At this hour the centre was passing between the anchorage and the position of the Frejr. Moving towards about W by N, it must have entered the coast a few hours later.

   In this depression strong gales were not experienced at a greater distance than 30 miles from the centre and then only in the front or W semi-circle. In rear the winds were particularly light and did not exceed a strong breeze at the same distance. Moreover in rear the wind quickly re-gained a NE direction off the S Coast of China as pressure remained low over the N part of the China Sea.

Referring to Notice to Mariners, No. 734 (1891) of 1895, on a doubtful reef in Mekari Seto, the following particulars have been received from Lieutenant O. Ito of H. I. M. S. Hiyei :-

  A sunken reef on which Chodayu beacon is erected extends 180 yards with the very irregular and uneven bottom porthward from this beacon.

A doubtful reef on which the Yamato touched may be possibly the north end of the above reef, and the name "Yamato" is now given to this part.

Yamato reef with least depth of 2 fathoms on it, and 30 yards in length north and south, lies 180 yards N. by E. & E. of Chodayu beacon, on the following marks :-

  Chodayu beacon in line with Mitsu yama (1350 feet), Ikuchi-jima, with the north extreme of Ategi-jima a little open northward of Sasajima.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TM? OCTOBER, 1895. 1083

After the passage, to the S of Hongkong, of the small depression of August 31st pressure increased slightly on the SE coast of China but in Luzon, where the barometer remained yet about 0.15 inch below the normal, a further slight decrease of pressure had set in on September 1st. It appears from the observations made on board vessels that a band of low pressure was also lying across the China Sea in an ENE and WSW direction. This elongated depression apparently extended from the Annam Coast across Central Luzon to the Pacific, and it is probable that a cyclonic depression was forming on September 1st in the Pacific part of the above mentioned area of low barometer, perhaps around the position 18°, 127°.

?

The following were the conditions prevailing on this day. On the SE coast of China the barometer stood at about 29.71 moderate to light NE breezes prevailing between Foochow and Hainan ; in the middle part of the China Sea between 12° and 17 Lat. the barometer read about 29.64 light variable airs prevailing; off the Cochin China coast in 9° to 10° Lat. (barometer 29.73) moderate and fresh W and SW breezes prevailed accompanied by showery weather; at Bolinao light variable breezes were blowing (barometer 29.64) and at Manila (barometer 29.67) light to moderate S and WSW breezes were accompanied by rainsqualls. The bark Japan situated in the Pacific in 15° 09′, 136° 00′ experienced moderate S winds with wet squally weather, the barometer being steady at 29.74.

The disturbance may possibly have been situated in 1949, 125° at noon on the 2nd moving towards the NW. A further slight decrease of pressure had taken place at Bolinao (29.60) and Manila (29.65) winds being light and gentle breezes from SE at the former and from S at the latter station. The barometer had risen slightly near Foochow (Sharp Peak 29.76) and was steady at Hongkong (29.71), but the NE winds had freshened on this part of the China Coast. From observations made on board the S.S. Ask lying at Anping (S. Formosa) it is seen that the disturbance was advancing towards S Formosa from the SE. The barometer on board this vessel showed a decisive fall on this day from 29.74 at 8 a. to 29.56 at 4 p. At the same time the wind, which had been light and variable during the morning, freshened somewhat from NW in the afternoon.

Next day, the 3rd, at noon, the barometer having fallen to 29.36 with the wind a fresh breeze from N accompanied by rain, the Ask left Anping to take shelter at the Pescadores. The centre was probably situated in 21°5, 122° at this time. Since the previous day pressure had given way to the extent of about 0.1 inch at Sharp Peak (29.66) and Amoy (29.60). The fall was less marked at Hongkong (29.66) while at Bolinao (29.61) and Manila (29.67) the barometer had commenced to rise slowly. Pressure was highest, 29.9 to 30.0 inches, over Japan and in the extreme SW part of the China Sea. Winds were strong breezes from E to ESE off the SW coast of Japan; strong breezes to fresh NNE gales off the E Coast of China and in the N part of the Formosa channel; moderate breezes from N and NNW off the S Coast of China and strong breezes from SW at Manila. The S.S. Ask experienced a strong N by E gale on the passage from Anping to Ponghou harbour (Pescadores) during the evening of this day, the barometer remaining, however, practically steady since noon.

On the 4th the centre was probably situated on the E Coast of Formosa and in 24°, 1214° at noon. We have no observations made in Formosa, but accounts from there show that a very severe typhoon which caused great damage ashore and afloat passed over Keelung and Tamsui, the northern ports, during this day.

The greatest decrease of pressure since the previous day was shown at Sharp Peak (29.50) the fall amounting to 0.16 inch in the 24 hours. The barometer had now commenced to fall at Shanghai (29.78) and in SW Japan (Nagasaki 29.85). At Hongkong (29.60) the barometer was steady and inclined to rise while in Luzon (Bolinao 29.65) a decided rise had taken place. Winds were strong NNE breezes at Sharp Peak, moderate breezes from NNW between Amoy and Hongkong and strong SW breezes in Manila. A very high temperature with low humidity and almost clear skies prevailed on the coast between Amoy and Hongkong. Tlie S.S. Ask in Ponghou harbour (Pescadores) had a strong N gale with rainsqualls (bar. at 1 p. 29.32) during the greater part of the day. The barometer which had been practically steady the whole day began to rise late in the evening the wind at the same time moderating. At 10 p. it backed to W and fell light.

On the 5th at noon the centre was situated in 27°, 122° and it had already commenced to recurve towards the NE. Its speed during the previous 24 hours had been at the rate of about 9 miles per hour. The disturbance was now of great dimensions and determined the wind circulation from W. Japan in the NE part of the system to the Cochin China Coast in the SW. The isobars which were oval shaped were very much elongated towards the SW. Winds were in accordance. The worst weather was felt over a considerable area in the N semicircle where the isobars lay closer together, the gradients being therefore correspondingly steep. The following are the observations made at a few coast stations on the 5th:--

p.

   The S. S. Chiyuen which had put into Namquan harbour (27° 09', 120° 26') experienced there a strong NNW gale with the barometer, 29.31 at noon, almost steady until the evening when it rose, the wind at the same time backing to NW and decreasing. The S. S. Esang at anchor in Bullock harbour (27° 47', 121° 16′) in a sheltered position, experienced a moderate and fresh NE backing to N gale accompanied by heavy rainsqualls during the morning and in the afternoon moderate to strong NNW and NW breezes with overcast sky. Later in the evening the wind increased to a strong gale from NW and NW by W. The barometer was at its lowest point, 29.25, near 2 P. The centre seems to have been recurving at a distance of about 100 miles to E of the above vessels. The S. S. Mount Lebanon was situated at noon in 28° 58', 126° 46′ or at a distance of about 250 miles to the ENE of the centre at that time. At 4 p. the barometer read 29.49 and a heavy ESE gale was blow- ing accompanied by a high cross sea. They steered towards NW keeping the wind on the starboard quarter but at 8 p. she was making such fearful weather in the heavy confused sea which was running that they were obliged to put her on the port tack, heading SSW, that being the only position in which she would obey the helm. Subsequently on the 6th the centre passed a little South of this

and 6 p.

    The following is the account given by her commander :--- September 6th, 8 a.m. Barometer 29.10 falling rapidly; wind still ESE with furious squalls and terrific sea; got ship off the wind again and heading NNW but could only make way slowly on account of the propeller being most of the time out of the water altogether. Right on the storm track, ship in ballast and practically unmanageable. No. 3 water ballast tank had burst, after holds flooded, ship taking a heavy list to port which made matters worse but we managed to steer her making a NNW course; steam steering gear carried away and steering ship with hand gear. At noon, position by account 29° 55', 126° 20′ barometer 28.90, ESE wind blowing with hurricane force, terrific sea and heavy rain. 2 p.m. wind backed to E, barometer 28.80, terrific squalls. and continuous blinding rain. 4 p.m. barometer 28.68, wind had backed steadily to NE by E, ship then heading about NW by W; wind force, sea and weather still the same; 6 p.m., barometer steady 28.68; 7.30 p.m., first rise of barometer and wind had backed to NNE ship heading about WSW, wind hurricane force, blinding rain and tremendous sea; ship taking fearful lurches to port; midnight, barometer had risen to 29.30 and wind had backed to NW with terrific squalls. September 7th 2 a.m. baro- meter 29.56, wind moderating but sea still very high."

   These observations place the centre, which was now moving towards ENE, about 50 miles to the WSW of the above vessel, or in 29°, 125°, at noon on the 6th thus giving the disturbance a speed of about 9 miles per hour during the previous 24 hours. The Mount Lebanon had made some few miles progress in a NNW and NW direction by 4 p., so that the centre passed just to the S of her position at this hour.

   The barometer was falling fast at Nagasaki (29.50) and SE gales were blowing off the coast of Kiushui. At the mouth of the Yangtze N gales prevailed but the barometer (Gutzlaff 29.49) had there commenced to rise.

   The S. S. Verona experienced the typhoon in about 30° 30', 128° on the morning of the 7th. Winds of storm force backing from E to NE were experienced between 1 a. and 5 a. but at the latter hour, the barometer being at its minimum, 28.47, the wind decreased to a moderate gale for a short time. As the barometer rose the wind increased again and at 8 a. they had typhoon force from NW which, however, commenced to moderate very slowly after 10 a. The S. S. Asloun also experienced a hurricane from NNW at a distance of about 60 miles to the NNW of the Verona. They recorded the lowest barometer reading, 29.22, at 8 a. The S. S. Bellona in the right-hand semicircle and situated in 30° 16', 131° 12', experienced a fierce SSE gale at noon.

"

   The centre was situated in 31° 00′, 129° 30′ at noon on the 7th thus giving it a speed of about 9 miles per hour during the previous 24 hours, and it must have entered SW Kiushui shortly after- wards. The S. S. Mascotte lying in Nagasaki harbour experienced strong breezes veering gradually from E in the morning to N at night, the barometer falling to its lowest point (29.22) at 8 p.

   After entering SW Japan the disturbance seems to have filled up to a considerable extent, and at the same time it moved NE with greatly increased velocity towards the Sea of Japan. The S. S. Ancona lying at Kobe experienced a moderate SSW gale at 8 a. on the 8th (barometer 29.38) which, however, quickly moderated, the direction veering to WSW with rapidly rising barometer.

On the 10th at 10.20 a. "A depression appears to be situated to the SE of Luzon." At 11.15 a. Forecast: "barometer falling: fresh NE winds: fair."

On the 10th at 4.15 p. "Depression in S Luzon moving towards WNW." On the 11th at 11.0 a. Forecast: "barometer falling: fresh NE winds: fair."

   On the 10th a sudden fall of the barometer amounting to about 0.1 inch occurred at Bolinao and Manila with moderate N and NE winds; but it appears that a trough-like depression had been formed across the China Sea in about 13° to 15° latitude, owing to pressure increasing quickly over China on the two previous days and the consequent rapid spread of NE winds to the Southward in the China Sea.

   On the 11th strong NE breezes and moderate gales prevailed over the N part of the China Sea and as far South as 14° latitude on its Western side, while fresh SW winds prevailed on the Cochin China coast in about 10° latitude. The weather was showery and squally over the whole of this area.

The typhoon which advanced towards the Formosa Channel on the 18th was preceded on the 15th by a depression which moved to the Eastward over N. China. In rear of this depression pressure rose rapidly in the neighbourhood of Shanghai until on the 18th (30.11) it stood at about 0.2 inch above the normal. Pressure had also increased on the SE and S Coasts (Sharp Peak 29.91, Hongkong 29.85) but conditions as to pressure were almost normal in these districts on the morning of the 18th. In Luzon the barometer (Bolinao 29.73) had been slightly low for the past few days. Strong NE monsoon prevailed at this time on the East Coast of China and at the N. entrance to the Formosa Channel while in the China Sea to the S of Hongkong it was moderate. In the SW part of the China Sea in about 6°, 107° the barometer read 29.90, winds being moderate and fresh breezes from W and SW.

   The afternoon observations made at the Coast Stations on the 18th showed a slight fall of the mercury in Lazon, winds being light breezes from W at Bolinao and from SW at Manila; but a more marked decrease had occurred at Amoy where the wind was a moderate breeze from NE. From observations made on board H. M. S.'s Pique and Peacock and the S.S. Thales and also from those made and kindly forwarded by Mr. A. W. BAIN, of Anping, we know that a typhoon was rapidly advancing towards S. Formosa from the SE on the morning of the 18th, the probable position of the centre at noon on this day being 21° 1220 or about 70 miles to the ESE of S. Cape. Information from the Pacific area is wanting, but the observations rather point to this disturbance having been rather quickly formed in a region of slightly low pressure lying to the E of the Bashee Channel, the chief agency in its formation probably being the rapid increase of pressure to the Northward and the consequent advance of strong NE monsoon to the Southward.

noon.

The observations made by Mr. BAIN at Anping show that the barometer began to fall rather quickly after 9 a. on the 18th, the wind being moderate from N but increasing to a strong breeze at After S p. the barometer fell very rapidly and a heavy N gale was then blowing which increased to typhoon force from N to NE at 10 p. The barometer attained its lowest point, 29.29, at 1 a. of the 19th. Between 2 a. and 3 a. the wind shifted gradually to SE. Very little rain fell. Consider- able damage to houses and godowns resulted. From observations made at Takow and kindly for- warded by Mr. BAIN it is seen that the centre passed over that port at 0.30 a. on the 19th. The barometer fell from 29.94 at 8 a. on the 18th to 29.30 at midnight, the wind being from NNW and N till the evening, when it veered to NE. The mercury descended to its lowest point, 28.90, at 0.30 a. on the 19th, i.e., it fell no less than 0.4 inch in half an hour, at the same time the wind veered to SSE. The barometer readings made at Takow are uncorrected, but are believed to require a negative correction of between 0.1 and 0.2 inch.

H. M. S.'s Pique and Peacock and the S. S. Thales got up steam on the morning of the 8th and left the open roadstead of Anping for shelter at about 2 p., but they were too late and all encountered the storm. The S. S. Thales made but little progress against the N gale and at 7 p. she was hove to on the starboard tack in the right-hand semicircle. Winds of storm and typhoon force from N by E were experienced between 9 p. of the 18th and 2.30 a. of the 19th. At the latter hour the baro- meter showed the minimum, 28.98, and shortly afterwards the wind veered to E, but at 4 a. it had decreased to a fresh gale from S. The centre passed at a distance of about 10 miles only to the SSW of the vessel at 3 a. Her position at this hour is given as 23° 9', 119° 36'. H. M. S. Peacock after steering towards WNW was hove to at 6 p. At 10.30 p., the barometer, 29.48, was falling rapidly

with the wind at N of storm force. The vessel was then run to the SW. At 1 a. the barometric minimum, 29.34, occurred, but it remained almost steady until after 4 a. The wind, in the left-hand semicircle, backed to WNW at 2 a. and continued to blow with storm force from this direction until after 4 a. when it backed to WSW.

The centre, which was situated in 23° 00', 119° 35′ at 3 a. passed about 25 miles to the NE of the vessel at this hour. It was therefore situated between the position of the Thales and that of the Peacock, but nearer to the former than to the latter. Both vessels sustained considerable damage.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH OCTOBER, 1895.

   H. M. S. Pique ran to SW by S at 6 p. on the 18th, but nevertheless experienced a fierce gale with squalls of typhoon force from N on the evening of the 18th but backing to WNW and WSW next morning.

   The disturbance was moving towards W by N on the morning of the 19th and at noon the position of the centre is fixed by the observations made on board the steamships Victoria and Monmouthshire. The Victoria encountered the centre at noon in 23° 22′, 117° 54′. The wind which had been blowing a fierce gale (direction not stated but presumably from NW) fell calm at noon, the sky, however, remained overcast and threatening and there was a high topping sea.. The barometer read 29.14 uncorrected. At 1.30 p. the wind suddenly freshened and blew a strong gale from S with terrific squalls. The S. S. Monmouthshire passed the Lamocks bound North at 3 a.

                                            The wind was light from NW and W and rain commenced falling. A large number of birds flew on board making a most horrible noise. At 6 a. the barometer read 29.68, the wind was of force 6 and the sea very confused. Half an hour later they ran into a heavy NE gale with mountainous sea and torrents of rain. At 8 a. it was blowing a hurricane from NE which continued until after noon when the baro- meter was at its lowest point, 29.02. Overhead there was some clearing of the clouds at this time. At 1 p. the wind veered to ESE with fast rising barometer, and at 2 p. the wind had decreased to a fresh gale from SE. At the latter hour a fierce gale from NW was blowing at Swatow and one hour later the wind fell suddenly calm which lasted 15 minutes. The barometer was then at its lowest point and read 29.33. The wind came again from S and blew hard for a short time, but at 4 p., the barometer having risen to 29.57, the wind had decreased to a strong S breeze. The centre therefore passed over or just to the N of Swatow just after 3 p., but it must at once have commenced to fill up on entering the coast even if it had not done so, to some extent, while crossing the channel.

Several vessels, the steamships Tailee, Fushun, Lyderhorn and Jacob Christensen, also the ship Celeste Burrill, experienced winds of typhoon force from NE in the northern part of the Formosa Channel on the morning of the 19th. The S. S. Chunshan, approaching Swatow from the S at noon, encountered a fierce WNW gale. She turned back and ran to the Southward and then had much better weather.

   On the evening of the 19th the wind at Swatow backed from S to SE while at Hongkong the direction remained from N to NW. At Victoria Peak a strong N breeze prevailed. The barometer was rising. At Canton a moderate N breeze was blowing and the barometer had fallen since the morning. At sea to the S of Swatow moderate S breezes prevailed.

Next morning, the 20th, a complete change of wind direction had occurred at Victoria Peak, Hongkong, where a moderate to fresh SE breeze now blew in place of the strong N breezes of the previous evening. The direction of the lower clouds as observed at Hongkong Observatory had also changed from N to SE. Light airs from NW to W and SE prevailed there, and at Gap Rock light breezes from N and NNW. At Canton gentle breezes from N and NE prevailed. The barometer was rising, but slowly, at Hongkong. The Swatow observations indicate that the disturbance, which had no doubt filled considerably, was pursuing a W or WSW course on the evening of the 19th, and the observations at Hongkong and neighbouring stations indicate that the remains of the late typhoon was drifting over this locality on the morning of the 20th as a diffused depression. It would appear that, it passed out to sea spreading towards the S and probably increased slightly in intensity, as during the evening of the 20th and morning of the 21st the baroincter fell slightly in Hongkong and a moderate E gale was experienced.

   On the 21st the Hoihow observations furnish a trace of the depression. At this station very heavy rain fell throughout the day with gentle and light breezes veering from N in the morning to SE at night. The barometer fell very slightly. The steamships Invertay and Glengyle experienced strong NE gales with a slight fall in the barometer on the evening of the 21st to the S of Hongkong in about 19° latitude.

On the 23rd at 10.40 a. There are indications of a depression in the Pacific to the E of the Balingtang Channel." At 11.0 a. Forecast: "barometer falling: moderate NE and N winds: fair." On the 23rd at 4.20 p. "The depression appears to be moving towards NW." On the 24th at 11.0 a. Forecast: barometer unsteady: moderate to fresh N winds: fair."

 Black South Cone hoisted. The depression appears to be now situated to the SE of Hongkong. It continues filling up and is apparently moving towards SW." At 11.0 a. Forecast: "barometer rising slowly fresh to strong NE breezes wet and squally."

:

On the 28th at 10.30 a. Black South Cone lowered.

   On the 22nd a trough was found to be formed lying through about 17, 110° and through the Balingtang Channel. The past typhoon probably gave rise to the western portion of this trough as it disappeared therein, and the next typhoon seems to have had its origin in the eastern part of this trough.

   On the 23rd pressure decreased about 0.05 inch in Luzon and on the SE coast of China; Sharp Peak had 29.81, Amoy 29.77, Hongkong 29.81 and Bolinao 29.72. Winds were moderate from E to NE between Hongkong and Foochow and light from W at Bolinao and Manila. The S.S. Ask at Anping (S. Formosa) had moderate to strong N breezes with fine weather, but the barometer had commenced to fall. The depression may have been central at noon in 19° to 20° and 125°.

   On the 24th a further fall of the mercury had occurred on the SE coast of China and in Luzon amounting to about 0.05 inch in the former district but slightly less in the latter. Sharp Peak now had 29.75, Amoy 29.72, Hongkong 29.77 and Bolinao 29.70. Moderate breezes prevailed from WNW at Bolinao, from SW at Manila and from N to NE on the SE coast of China. The commander of the S.S. Ask lying at Anping suspected a typhoon to the SE and he left the roadstead at daylight to get shelter at the Pescadores. The wind had increased to a strong breeze from N by E with the barometer falling. At noon in Ponghou harbour it was blowing a fresh N gale which increased to a hard gale from the same direction in the evening but as yet the barometer was almost steady. The centre of the typhoon was perhaps situated in about 21°, 123° moving towards WNW.

On the morning of the 25th from observations made at Anping by Mr. A. W. BAIN we see that the centre of the disturbance had approached the coast of S. Formosa. At Anping the barometer fell from 29.61 at 8 a. to 29.37 at 4 p., the wind being from N until 3 p. and blowing with almost typhoon force between 1 p. and 3 p. At 4 p. the direction veered to NE and the force began to decrease with rising barometer. Between 7 p. and midnight a calm prevailed, but at the latter hour the wind came again suddenly from SE blowing fairly strong with the barometer rising rapidly. The centre was probably situated in 22, 121° at noon, i.e., on the E Coast of S. Formosa. In crossing the island it, no doubt, filled up considerably and the Anping observations indicate that the central area which passed near this station bad scarcely cleared the island until midnight. The S.S. Ask was lying in Makung harbour (Pescadores) and a hurricane was experienced from N between noon and 9 p. when the force slightly decreased, the direction veering a little. The barometer was at its lowest point at 4 p.

   and it then rose slowly. At midnight they had NNE wind of force 10 and the barometer com- menced to rise quickly. At 5 a. on the 26th the direction had veered to SE, a moderate breeze. The centre therefore passed to the S of Makung near 2 a. on the 26th and it seemed to have already commenced to move in a WSW direction under the influence of the strong NNE winds blowing down. the Formosa Channel.

   On the morning of the 26th the centre had approached Swatow and at noon on this day it was situated in 22° 45', 117° 00'. The following are observations at some coast stations on this day :-

The S. S. Niobe was situated in 23° 9', 118° 02′ at noon. They had barometer 29.75 with a fresh E gale which veered to ESE and SE as they progressed towards Hongkong. At Swatow the wind backed again to ENE and decreased to force 5 during the evening which indicates together with observations made on board ship and at Hongkong that the centre was moving towards SW while the depression was filling up and the winds becoming light.

At noon on the 27th there was a trace of the depression in about 20°, 115°. It then changed into an elongated trough-like depression lying from about 15°, 112° out through the Bashee Channel or thereabouts.

2. No officer whose annual salary does not exceed $240 may be awarded a pension, but a compassionate allowance may be granted in special cases of long and faithful service, provided that such compassionate allowance shall not exceed two-thirds of the rate of pension grantable to an officer under paragraph 1.

3. No officer may be awarded a pension in respect of any service under the age of sixteen years, nor in respect of his service in any of the following capacities, viz.. Private Secretary or Aide-de-Camp to the Governor; Clerk to a Judge of the Supreme Court, unless in the permanent Civil Service; Apprentice in a public department; Normal Student or Pupil Teacher.

4. Every officer otherwise qualified for a pension who is constrained from infirmity of mind or body to leave the public service before the completion of ten years' service may be awarded a gratuity at the rate of half a month's salary for each complete six

months of service.

5. An officer who has been transferred to or from the service of the Crown in this Colony from or to the service of the Crown elsewhere will not be awarded a pension or gratuity under this clause, but his case will be dealt with under clause 15 of this Minute,

provided always that the case of any such officer who, having been so transferred to the service of the Colony, has served in the Colony for a period of ten years and upwards immediately prior to his ultimate retirement from the service of the Crown, may be dealt with under this clause instead of under clause 15.

6. Any officer permanently attached to the local Audit Department, notwithstanding the fact that his salary is paid out of an open vote, may be awarded, on his ultimate retirement, a pension or gratuity subject to the conditions of this Minute, as though he were on the Fixed Establishment of the Colony.

No. 2.

1. Subject as aforesaid, every Judge of the Supreme Court who has served as a Judge for seven years or upwards may on his retirement be awarded a pension at the rate of fifteen-sixtieths of his salary, with an addition of two-sixtieths in respect of each year of such service in excess of seven, until twenty-nine-sixtieths is reached, and with the further addition of one-sixtieth in respect of each year of such service in excess of fourteen, until the maximum of forty-sixtieths is reached.

2. A Judge of the Supreme Court who, before being made a Judge, has served the Government of the Colony in another capacity and who has not less than ten years' service in the Colony in all (including his service as a Judge), may claim either a pension at the rate of one-thirtieth of his salary as such Judge for each year of his service as such Judge together with one-sixtieth of the salary received by him previous to his becoming a Judge for each year of his service in that other capacity with an addition to such service which shall bear the same proportion to five years or to five years plus the number of grantable under clause 3, paragraph 2, as such service bears to his total service in the Colony years, if any, or a pension at ordinary rates in accordance with clauses 1 and 3 of these Regulations; provided that in no case shall the pension under the former alternative exceed the maximum pension which could be claimed under clause 2 (1), viz., forty-sixtieths of his salary as Judge.

No. 3.

1. (a) Except in cases where a right to pension has been previously acknowledged or sanctioned by the Secretary of State or the Governor in Council, officers whose whole time is not given to the public service and professional officers who are allowed the private practice of their professions, may not be awarded pensions under these Regula- tions. If a pension is granted in any such case the addition specified in paragraph 2 of this clause for professional or peculiar qualifications shall not as a general rule be made, nor as a general rule shall any, fees paid out of the Treasury be included in salary in computing pension.

(b) Save as in this clause excepted. such officers as in this clause are referred to may not in the case of abolition of office be awarded the pension provided for the case of abolition of office, but every such officer may receive a pension at such reduced rate as the Secretary of State may see fit in each case to prescribe.

2. In computing the pension of an officer who on first entering the service was appointed to an office mentioned in the schedule hereto and retires therefrom or from some other office requiring like qualifications, the additions in the said schedule men- tioned may be made to his period of service: Provided that no such addition shall be made in the case of any officer who has been transferred to the service of the Colony from Her Majesty's Naval or Military service, and that no addition shall be made which together with the number of years of actual service shall amount to more than thirty-five years.

No. 4.

1. Every Public Officer borne on the Fixed Establishment of the Colony who is appointed either directly or after intermediate service under the Crown outside the Colony to be Governor of the Colony shall on his retirement be entitled to the same pension as if he had continued to hold the office which he held in this Colony previous to such appointment and as if his retirement were occasioned by ill-health.

2. If there is offered to any such ex-Governor being under the age of fifty-five years any office under the Crown either in the Colony or elsewhere which, regard being had as well to the state of his health as to his previous services, such ex-Governor may be properly called upon to accept, the Secretary of State for the Colonies may suspend either wholly or in part as he in his absolute discretion may think fit the pension of such ex-Governor during his tenure of such office in case of acceptance or in case of non- acceptance until he attains the age of fifty-five years.

When the officer applying for a pension or allowance is himself the Head of a Department, or is a Judge, the certificates required by this clause from the Head of a Department must be given by the Governor.

No. 8.

It shall be lawful for the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in cases of peculiar or Cases of extraor extraordinary merit, in which special services have been rendered altogether in excess dinary merit. and beyond the usual scope of those which the officer is paid to perform, to sanction the grant by the Governor in Council of pensions or retiring allowances at higher rates and on more favourable conditions than those which may for the time being be authorised by this Minute; but, in ordinary cases, the maximum pension or retiring allowance grantable to an officer under this Minute, or to an officer entitled to pension or retiring allowance also in respect of service not under this Government from all sources combined shall not exceed two-thirds of the highest salary drawn by such officer at any time in the course of his service.

The service in respect of which pensions, retiring allowances or gratuities will be What service granted must be unbroken, except in cases where the service has been interrupted by entitles for abolition of office, or other temporary suspension of employment not arising from mis- conduct or voluntary resignation. Also service prior to a break of service may be allowed to count for pension together with service subsequent to such break if the whole inter- vening period has with the previous sanction of the Governor in Council been spent in some other employment under the Crown.

2. No service other than service on the Fixed Establishment on full or half pay will be taken into account in computing pensions or retiring allowances, except that, where the service on the Fixed Establishment has been immediately preceded by an unbroken period of service on the temporary establishment, or of service paid for out of an open vote or of both such services, such period will be taken into account.

Provided always that of the period of service paid for out of an open vote not more than two-thirds shall be counted for the purpose of this clause. Leave of absence on half salary will only be counted at the rate of one month for every two months of such leave, provided that vacation leave, in cases where full salary is not available, shall be counted as though it were leave with full salary. But leave taken before the end of 1886, inclusive of vacation leave taken (after June, 1876,) in conjunction with half pay leave will, to the extent of one-sixth of an officer's resident service, be counted as full service for pension.

  3. Service will be deemed to commence for pension purposes, in the case of Cadets as well as of other officers, at the date on which they commence to draw salary, provided that if a Cadet fails to pass the final examination in the native language within the prescribed period, the period by which the date of his passing his final examination is overdue will be deducted from his term of service when his claims to pension are considered.

No. 12.

1. In case of the abolition of the office of an officer who is borne on the Fixed Establishment of the Colony, a temporary pension may be granted to the officer whose office is abolished, on the condition that he shall hold himself ready to be recalled to service, and with the understanding that he will be re-employed as opportunity offers in preference to new applicants for office.

2. If the officer whose office is abolished is not qualified for other employment, or if there is no reason in the opinion of the Governor to expect that he can be shortly re- employed, a pension may be granted to him free from the condition as to re-employment mentioned in this clause.

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month :--

On the 28th at 11.15 a. "Pressure is low in S. Luzon." Forecast:-"barometer falling: moderate NE winds: cloudy, possibly some rain."

On the 31st at 10.30 a. There is a depression in the China Sea to the S. of Hongkong in about 15° to 16° latitude.' At 11.0 a. Forecast:-"barometer unsteady: fresh to strong NE breezes : unsettled, wet."

   On the 1st November at 11.15 a. "The shallow depression still lies in the China Sea to the S. of Hongkong." Forecast:-"barometer unsteady: fresh and strong NE breezes : cloudy, some drizzling

rain.

From October 26th to 29th pressure was decreasing generally on the China Coast from Hongkong to Shanghai and also in Luzon. On the latter date it was in defect to the extent of from 0.1 to 0.2 inch at Hongkong (29.89) and at Shanghai (29.97), and the monsoon had become moderate and light along the coast and in the N part of the China Sea. At Manila (29.75) and Bolinao pressure was also about 0.1 inch below the normal and the winds at these two stations, which had been light from a N to E direction on the previous days, now became SE. At Cape St. James a light SW breeze prevailed.

The great decrease of pressure over N. China, which appears to have been due to a depression lying over Manchuria on the 28th, caused the monsoon to become light on the China Coast from Shanghai southwards and also over the N. part of the China Sea. The circumstances thus became favourable to the advance northwards of the S. current and we know that on the 28th, light SW breezes had taken

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH NOVEMBER, 1895. 1163

the place of the light NE winds which had previously prevailed at Cape St. James on the Cochin China Coast, while still farther south, in about 5°, 107°, strong S and SW breezes prevailed on this day. It therefore seems probable that a trough-like slight depression in which variable winds and calins prevailed was formed in a belt lying across the China Sea and Philippine Archipelago in from 10° to 120 lat. and that on the 29th this depression had possibly become cyclonic to the SW of Luzon owing to the further advance northwards of S. winds along the W. Philippines.

   On the 30th we have the following barometer readings Shanghai; 30.05, Hongkong 29.90, Hoihow 29.91, Bolinao 29.73, Manila 29.76. Winds were light breezes from ESE and SE at the two latter stations while at sea in 20°, 115°, (bar. 29.90) moderate N and NE winds prevailed. The S. S. Shantung in 17° 18′, 118°, 44° had 29.74, NE 4 with clouded sky. At Cape St. James light and gentle SW breezes were blowing, the weather being squally with thunderstorms. The low pressure seems to have been central in perhaps 144°, 118° and moving towards NW.

   On the 31st we have; Hongkong 29.92 ENE 3 od, Hoihow 29.91 NE 3 c, Bolinao 29.79 SSE 3 c, Manila 29.80 var. 2 c, Cape St. James SW 3 c. The barometer had risen at Bolinao and Manila but was practically steady at the other stations. The centre of the depression may have been situated in about 16° 116° at noon. The S. S. Shantung to the northward of this position and in 20° 00′, 118° 03′, experienced a moderate NE by E gale with light rain and high confused sea. The barometer, which read 29.73 at noon, was rising. To the westward of the centre the S. S. Namyong in 14° 48′, 110° 25′ had the barometer (29 86) falling and a strong NW increasing breeze accompanied, in the evening, by hard rainsqualls and a confused sea.

Next day, November 1st, the latter vessel had very bad weather throughout, the centre of the disturbance, which was at noon situated in about 16°2, 111°, passing a few miles to the N of her position at 6 p. moving in a W or WSW direction towards the S entrance to the Gulf of Tongking. They experienced a strong to whole gale from WNW at 4 a. (bar. 29.70) backing to SW by S at 6 p, the barometer attaining its lowest point, 29.50, at the latter hour. The strongest wind, of force 11 from WSW, was experienced between 3 p. and 4 p., but after 6 p. the wind decreased to a moderate breeze backing to SSE and E and a fine night followed with clear sky. They tried to run to the Southward at 5 a. with the wind at W but could not on account of the heavy sea, and owing to the proximity of the Paracel Reefs they were prevented from going to the Eastward. The steam-ships Ask and Hongkong, off Hainan Head and about 200 miles to the N of the centre, had strong NE breezes with rising barometer, and the S.S. Rohilla moderate SW breezes (bar. 29.76) at about 300 miles distance to the S. of the centre.

Next day, November 1st, the latter vessel had very bad weather throughout, the centre of the disturbance, which was at noon situated in about 16°2, 111°, passing a few miles to the N of her position at 6 p. moving in a W or WSW direction towards the S entrance to the Gulf of Tongking. They experienced a strong to whole gale from WNW at 4 a. (bar. 29.70) backing to SW by S at 6 p, the barometer attaining its lowest point, 29.50, at the latter hour.

QUESTION. Mr. BELILIOS, pursuant to notice, asked the following question:-

Is it the intention of the Government to invite competitive designs from local architects for the proposed new Government offices, or do the Government propose that the design shall be prepared, and the work carried out by the Public Works Department.

The Colonial Secretary replied.

NOTICE OF QUESTION.--Mr. BELILIOS gave notice that at the next Meeting of Council he would ask the following question :-

my

In the report of the Director of the Observatory for 1894 the fourth paragraph runs:-" In

last annual report I stated that Victoria Peak and Gap Rock would shortly be placed in direct communication with the Observatory. This improvement has not yet been effected, and the wind observations made at Victoria Peak are often received too late for insertion in the China Coast Register, and latterly no observations have been received until about 2.30 p.m. and frequently later than this each day. This apparently arises to a great extent from the roundabout method by which the observations are forwarded to the United Telegraph Offices in Queen's Road for transmission to the Observatory. The importance of the wind observations from Victoria Peak has frequently been insisted on by me, but their value is at once discounted through the delay in transmission." In view of the great importance of the storm warnings to the shipping of the port, and the impossibility of the Director of the Observatory giving accurate weather forecasts unless supplied with the wind observations promptly, may I ask if steps have since been taken to ensure the early and regular transmis- sion of such observations from the Peak and Gap Rock to the Observatory, and to whose neglect was due the delay in carrying into thorough effect so obviously necessary a system of communication?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

necessary, of the owners and all others; and he shall make or caused to be made, personally, or by some officer of not lower grade than an Inspector of Police, a full and minute inspection of such premises and shall forthwith make a written report in detail to a Magistrate of the state of the said premises and of the contents, if any, thereof, furnishing also all such information touching the origin and circum- stances of the fire as he may be able to obtain.

3. Upon the receipt of such report the Magistrate, unless upon a consideration of the facts stated therein he is of opinion that such enquiry is unnecessary, shall proceed to investigate the causes of the fire and shall, with as little delay as practicable, take the depositions upon oath of all persons likely to know the facts and circumstances and of all other persons who in his opinion may be able to furnish informa- tion in respect thereof.

4. It shall be lawful for any Inspector of Police, or for any interested person present at such investigation, with the leave of the Magistrate, to examine the witnesses and to cause such persons to be examined as may give due and proper information touching such case of fire.

5. If, in the opinion of the Magistrate, the investigation does not disclose any offence or, although it discloses au offence, does not show any reasonable cause for suspecting any particular person or persons of having committed such offence, the Magistrate shall close the enquiry and order the release of the premises, provided that such closure and release shall be no bar to any information or proceedings against any person or persons for an offence against the law.

6. If in the opinion of the Magistrate the fire is the result of crime, and there is reasonable cause to suspect and he shall suspect any person or persons of having committed an offence against the law, he shall have power to commit such person or persons to prison to answer any charge that may be brought against him or them in the Police Court or, in his discretion, to require him or them to give security to his satisfaction to appear and surrender to answer any such charge, and, upon such charge, the Magistrate may take the evidence as in other cases.

7. For the purpose of this ordinance, and in relation to all investigations held thereunder and for the summoning of witnesses and for all proceedings in connection with such investigations, the Magistrate shall have all the powers possessed by a Magistrate in relation to cases of indictable offences, and the Captain Superintendent of Police shall render to him all proper and necessary assistance.

8. Except upon an order from the Magistrate, who may in his discretion on good cause shewn give such order, any person removing or attempting to remove, any property from premises in possession of the Police under the provi- sions of this Ordinance, shall be liable, on summary con- viction before a Magistrate, to a penalty of not exceeding $100, or to imprisonment with hard labour for any term not exceeding six months.

Reasons and Objects.

As Ordinance No. 23 of 1888 required two separate Magistrates to carry out its provisions and there is, at pre- sent, only one Magistrate, it became necessary to modify the Ordinance. In the circumstances it was considered better to re-draft it, and in so doing to effect certain other amendments.

In Ordinance No. 23 of 1888, section 6 prevented any use being made of the evidence on the enquiry against any accused person on the subsequent proceedings. It said nothing to forbid such use in favour of such accused person, and the wording of the section was somewhat ambiguous. This section has accordingly been omitted and some other slight alterations have been made.

(iv) For the purposes of this section, a duplicate of any probate or letters of administration sealed with the seal of the Court granting the same, or a copy thereof certified as correct by or under the authority of the Court granting the same, shall have the same effect as the original.

(v) All Ordinances, enactments and rules of Court for the time being in force in the Colony, in relation to probate duty or in relation to fees and costs in the probate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, shall apply to applica- tions for sealing under this section to the same extent and in the same manner as if the person who applies for such sealing were a person applying for probate or letters of administration.

6. This Ordinance shall apply to probates and letters of administration granted in a British possession to which this Ordinance is applied, either before or after the passing of this Ordinance.

7. This Ordinance shall extend to authorise the sealing in the Colony of any probate or letters of administration granted by a British Court in a foreign country in like manner as it authorises the sealing of a probate or letters of administration granted in a British possession to which the Ordinance applies, and the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply accordingly with the necessary modifications.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to provide for the recog- nition in this Colony of Probates and Letters of Adminis- tration granted in other British Possessions in cases where, in such Possessions, reciprocal arrangements are made for the recognition of Probates granted in this Colony.

Such Probates and Letters of Administration, when sealed in the Supreme Court, will have the like force and effect as if granted in the Colony.

This Ordinance extends to British Possessions provisions similar to these already in force with regard to the United Kingdom by virtue of Ordinance 14 of 1892, and thus carries out the principles of the (Imperial) Colonial Pro- bates Act, 1892.

Whenever the Court shall be satisfied that property of a debtor in respect of whose estate a receiving order has been made has been preserved for the benefit of the creditors by means of legal proceedings brought by a creditor against the debtor without notice of any available act of bank- ruptcy committed by the debtor, the Court may, in its

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH NOVEMBER, 1895. 1193

discretion, order the payment of the costs of such legal proceedings or any part of them (taxed as between party and party) out of the estate, with the same priority as to payment as is provided in respect of the taxed costs of the petitioner.

Reasons, &c.

Section 1 carries out the instructions received from the Secretary of State as to the payment into the Treasury of fees and commissions by the Official Receiver.

Section 2 seeks to remedy a hardship under the Bank- ruptcy Ordinance of 1891.

In this Colony cases often arise of Chinese traders in difficulties commencing to remove their goods for the purpose of putting them beyond the reach of their creditors.

Proceedings taken at considerable expense by a creditor who gets an order of the Court for seizure of the goods may, in the event of a bankruptcy petition being filed, simply result in the preservation of those goods for the general body of creditors at the cost of that particular creditor.

It seems only just that, in such cases, the Court should have power in its discretion to allow a priority to the costs of the legal proceedings of the creditor whose exertions have thus benefitted the estate, similar to that at present accorded to the costs of the bankruptcy petitioner.

Attorney General.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend "The Cattle Diseases, Slaughter-Houses, and Markets 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 with The Cattle Diseases, Slaughter-Houses, and Markets Ordi- nunce, 1887, (as amended by Ordinances No. 23 of 1890 and No. 12 of 1894).

2. If any person passes or attempts to pass into any of the slaughter-houses of the Colony any animal which has not been inspected, passed and (in the case of sheep or cattle), marked with the Broad Arrow mark by an officer duly authorized by the Government to perform such duties, such animal may be detained by any officer on duty at the Slaughter-house, and such person and also the owner of such animal shall each be liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars or to imprison- ment with hard labour for a period not exceeding three months, and the Magistrate may order the animal to be for- feited to the Crown and thereupon it may be dealt with as the Governor may determine.

Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance is brought forward at the request of the Sanitary Board.

It was hoped that Ordinance 12 of 1894 would suffice to prevent the fraudulent introduction into the slaughter- houses of the Colony of animals which had not been passed by the Inspector. In a case, however, where the Inspector's mark had been forged it was found impossible to bring home to any particular person the guilt of having thus unlawfully applied the mark and thus the offender escaped. It has, therefore, been found necessary to make both the owner and the driver of the animal liable in cases of con- travention of the Ordinance.

The forfeiture will prevent a rejected or unfit animal from being surreptitiously disposed of for human food.

Colonial Secretary.

SANITARY BOARD, HONGKONG 21st October, 1895.

SIR,--Referring to our report dated the 7th of June (Government Notification No. 276 of 1895) we have now the honour to submit, for the information of the Board, the following further particulars of the progress of the special work entrusted to our joint directions.

HOUSE TO HOUSE VISITATION.

    2. On the 1st of June the original detachment, consisting of 24 Police and 15 soldiers told off for this service, was reduced to 27 men working in three sections. Each section consisted of 4 soldiers, including 1 non-commissioned officer, and 4 Chinese constables in charge of an European Police constable. On the 15th of June the services of two of the sections were dispensed with, and to the remaining section was allotted the duty of visiting houses in the worst part of the City in the morning and in the afternoon of noting the destination of the passengers arriving by the Canton steamers. This section continued to discharge these duties until the end of July when the services of the Police and Military were discontinued.

3. The night steamers from Canton have been regularly watched by a detachment of Police in charge of Detective Inspector QUINCEY.

4. In appendix A will be found a statement of the number of houses inspected and of the number of passengers tracked to their destination. In all 15,147 inspections of houses have been made and 6,006 passengers from Canton followed to their destination after leaving the steamers.

5. It is gratifying to be able to report that the attitude of the public during the examination of houses by the search parties has been friendly throughout and that the conduct of those engaged on the service has been good. Although none of the house visitation parties discovered any cases of plague, we are of opinion that the surprise visits made from time to time in various parts of the City have had a salutary effect in securing the prompt removal of the sick either to hospital or to places outside the Colony.

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

6. At the date of our last report only 5 cases of bubonic plague were known to have occurred since the day on which the first case was reported. After an interval of more than a month, viz., on the 14th June the disease re-appeared in Holland Street, Kennedy Town-two cases from No. 9 and 1 from a matshed situated on private property at the south end of the lane. On the following day (the 15th) 4 cases occurred in a room on the first floor of No. 10, Heung Lane, in the Sheung Wan District, and a further case from the adjoining, house, viz., No. 12 was reported the next day (16th). Particulars of these cases as well as those that occurred subsequently will be found in appendix B to this report.

   7. Five persons from No. 10 and one from No. 12, Heung Lane-the rest of the inmates having escaped before the Police arrived to take charge of the houses-were placed under observation in one of the "marriage boats," or native marine hotels, specially chartered for this service and anchored at the back of Stone Cutter's Island.

   8. Five cases having occurred within two days in these two houses alone, it was decided at 3 p.m. on the 17th, after a close inspection of the other houses in this part of the lane, and on a joint certificate by the Acting Medical Officer of Health and the Assistant Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, to remove the occupants of the next two houses, viz., Nos. 14 and 16 until such time as the premises could be satisfactorily disinfected and cleansed. The majority accordingly proceeded to Canton the same evening, having declined the proffered accommodation afloat; the rest were housed in one of the marriage boats.

   9. On the 17th of June at 10 p.m. a man suffering from plague entered the Tung Wah Hospital and stated that he had been living in No. 10, Heung Lane, having left the house before the arrival of the Police. He was unable to give a clear account of his movements during the interval.

10. Two cases of plague developed among those segregated from Nos. 10 and 12, Heung Lane, viz., one from No. 10 (on the 18th) and one from No. 12 (cn the 20th). Altogether eight cases of plague occurred in these two houses in Heung Lane.

   11. The other cases do not call for any special remarks beyond those stated in the body and at the foot of the schedule. Not a single case has been reported since the 16th ultimo.

1196 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH NOVEMBER, 1895.

12. With regard to the segregating of persons found in infected premises it has been the practice in all cases to allow them the option of proceeding to Canton or of being housed in one of the marriage boats. In the majority of instances the former alternative has been readily accepted, only 21 persons being provided with accommodation afloat. On the 26th June the last batch was released.

DISINFECTION OF HOUSES.

the

13. In respect of the disinfection of houses in which cases of bubonic plague have occurred the provisions of Bye-law No. 25, made under section 13 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, have been rigidly enforced, and every article destroyed that could not be satisfactorily disinfected. In the case of the houses in Heung Lane, after fumigation with sulphur and clearing out all the moveable contents, floors, walls and ceilings were thoroughly saturated with the acid solution of perchloride of mercury as recommended in a Memorandum of the 26th August, 1892, by Dr. R. THORNE THORNE of the Medical Department of the Local Government Board.

14. It will be observed that most of the cases of bubonic plague occurred in No. 6 Health District. Mr. HORE, the District Inspector, is deserving of praise for the painstaking way in which he has discharged a trying and, to say the least, disagreeable duty.

LATRINE DISINFECTION.

15. The addition of Chlorinated Lime to the night-soil in public latrines, which had been discontinued at the end of May, was resumed in the case of the Heung Lane Latrine on the outbreak of bubonic plague in that locality and maintained until all danger of a further. development of the disease in the vicinity had disappeared. For failing to comply with the Board's order in this matter and for a breach of one of the latrine bye-laws the keeper was fined $50 by the presiding Magistrate.

MEZZANINE FLOORS AND CUBICLES.

16. The work involved in enforcing compliance with the provisions of sections 7 and 8 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, the controlling of which had been delegated to us as a Select Committee of the Board, made satisfactory progress in the case of the worst class of houses in the City especially in districts Nos. 7 and 8, at the West, and Nos. 1 and 2 at the East end of the city. As, however, the Inspectors in charge of the Central Districts of the city proceeded it became evident that in granting permission for the retention of cocklofts in rooms partitioned into separate compartments the practice hitherto followed of dealing with each case on its merits could not be successfully pursued, and that clearly defined conditions applicable to all cases should be drawn up for the guidance of the Executive.

17. The question as to whether the owner or occupier should be held responsible for complying with the law was also fully considered. In many cases the cocklofts are the property of the tenants; in others they belong to the owner. The Committee therefore decided to adopt the plan that had been found to work so well in the case of the illegal occupation of basements, viz., of serving the notice on both the owner and occupier. The notice on the occupier specified in schedule C to our last_report was therefore discontinued and a new form, after meeting with the approval of the Attorney General adopted, (appendix C).

18. The conditions drawn up by the Committee on the subject of cocklofts in buildings erected before and after the passing of The Closed Houses and Insanitary Dwellings Ordinance (15 of 1894) which, after submission to and approval by the full Board, were published in the Government Gazette and in the English and Chinese newspapers, will be found embodied in the notifications included in appendix D..

19. Up to date, notices with copies of the Board's conditions attached, to comply with the provisions of sub-section 1 of section 7 and sub-section b of section 8, have been served on the owners and occupiers in the case of 433 cocklofts and cubicles. So far this change of tactics has met with the best results, and it is confidently hoped that within six months all illegal cocklofts will have been removed.

BASEMENTS.

20. A complete list of the basements illegally occupied on the 1st of April, and on the owners and occupiers of which notices have been served, will be found in appendix E. The return does not include the very large number of basements in No. 7 District which were closed during the epidemic of plague last year and which are among the worst in the whole City. Great credit is due to Acting Inspector MACEWEN for the energy he has displayed in preventing their re-occupation as dwellings.

21. Under our joint personal supervision the whole of the basements in districts Nos. 4, 5 and 6, have been inspected at night. In all 244 inspections have been made before, and 140 after, midnight.

The District Inspectors, Messrs. BURNETT, REIDIE and HORE, are doing their utmost to prevent their now illegal occupation.

PERMITS FOR COCKLOFTS AND BASEMENTS.

22. In a memo. dated the 9th of July (appendix F) the Committee referred for the consideration of the full Board the question as to whether permits for the retention of cocklofts, under section 7 and for the occupation of basements under section 6, should be granted to the owner or occupier. We are of opinion that the fullest publicity should be given to the fact that the Board has unanimously decided to grant such permits to the landlord only.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH NOVEMBER, 1895. 1197

GENERAL REMARKS.

  23. Although it may appear somewhat hazardous in the case of a disease like the bubonic plague, as to the origin and spread of which so little is known, we think it probable that the Colony has now seen the last of the disease in 1895. The widespread fear that the outbreak in Heung Lane was but the beginning of a formidable epidemic has happily not been realised. Twenty-six cases are known to have occurred; all died. If the particulars specified in appendix B are closely examined it will be found that among the later cases the disease showed no signs of abatement in point of virulence. The experience of this year would seem to demonstrate that the disease was nipped in the bud, and an epidemic averted by the prompt removal and segregation of the inmates and the disinfection and cleansing of the infected premises. The drastic measures it was deemed necessary to adopt were fully justified by the nature of, and the circumstances attending the outbreak.

24. The question here very naturally arises what are the prospects of a recurrence of the disease in the early spring of next year? A vast improvement in the

               A vast improvement in the sanitary condition of the Colony has unquestionably been effected during the last 12 months, but much still remains to be done. In our opinion no measure of sanitary reform calls for more prompt and vigorous action than that of clearing away the obstructions in back-yards and in the back parts of premises so as to provide a suitable and adequate area for the admission of light and air. This has been done already in many houses in the City. In Heung Lane the sanitary character of the houses, in which cases of plague originated, has been completely changed by this simple and by no means costly structural alteration. We submit that no consideration of Departmental economy should be allowed to interfere with the early carrying out of this most desirable reform.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servants,

WM. C. H. HASTINGS, Acting Captain Superintendent of Police. W. EDWARD CROW, Assistant Secretary and Superintendent.

Memorandum on the subject of Permits for the Occupation of Basements and the Retention of Cocklofts.

HONGKONG, 9th July, 1895.

The Committee appointed to control the work involved in enforcing the provisions of sections 6 and 7 of Ordinance 15 of 1894 beg to submit for the consideration of the Board the attached draft permit forms ? in respect of the occupation of basements and the retention of mezzanine floors and cubicles. 2. In both drafts the permits have been made out in favour of the registered owner. The Committee are of opinion that, having regard to the conditions under which basements are let and sub-let, the permission for occupation under section 6 should only be granted to the landlord.

3. The Committee are in doubt, however, as to the advisability of framing the permit, for the retention of cocklofts and cubicles, in favour of the owner. In the vast majority of cases cocklofts and cubicles are erected by the tenants without even the knowledge of the landlord. In nearly all cases the order for removal under section 7 has been served on the occupier. On the other hand the Committee do not see their way clear to advising that the permit be made out in favour of the occupier. By such a course the Board would, they think, be taking a step which might seriously prejudice the interests of owners of property, and would be incurring a responsibility it should not be charged with.

FINDING.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

    We find that DAVID GORDON, whose Certificate of Competency as a Master Mariner is 04,558, dated 22nd April, 1881, at Dundee, is Chief Mate of the British ship Torrisdale, Official No. 99,828 of Glasgow.

    That a charge of being drunk and incapable of performing his duties from 3.30 P.M. on the 20th June last to Noon on the 22nd June last has been brought against the said DAVID GORDON, and the Court finds the said DAVID GORDON has been guilty of misconduct and drunkenness and has been incapacitated from his duty from the effects of drink during the period aforementioned, and the Court therefore orders that his Certificate be suspended for a period of three months from this date, (recom- mending that should he apply for it a Certificate as Second Mate be granted to him during the period of such suspension).

The Court further censures HENRY GUNDY and JOHN ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL holding that their evidence was unreliable and insincere.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 27th day of November, 1895.

1216

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

praying for reform in the constitution of the local Government, and for the rights and privileges common to the British people in the smallest parish in England or Scotland of settling their local municipal affairs in their own way and to their own mind; as well as copies of all communications on the subject of the appointment of two Unofficial Members to the Executive Council, and two additional Unofficial Members to the Legislative Council?

66

(2)

With reference to the numerously signed petition to your Excellency, from Peak residents, house owners, and other ratepayers, praying for the construction, with all reasonable speed, of a new road in lieu of the present steep and unsuitable one--really the original mountain path, widened and improved to meet the requirements of a traffic ever on the increase, and which has outgrown the road's capacities-leading from Victoria Gap, passing on the south of Treverbyn" and "Stolzenfels," on a comparatively easy gradient, and terminating near the Peak Club or Mount Kellet-will the Government inform the Council whether it is proposed to proceed with this very necessary public work, good road communication being very necessary and earnestly desired by the large resident community; state the probable cost of the road, and if the work is not to be undertaken at present, what are the reasons which delay its being carried out?

(3)

With reference to the Colonial Secretary's letter No. 1187 of 27th June, 1892, to the Registrar General, forwarding a precis of correspondence re Home for Girls, the following paragraphs appear in the latter:-

"Five Chinese houses were accordingly erected near St. Stephen's Church in accordance with plans which the Po Leung Kuk Committee had seen, and which, it was understood, they approved......

"The cost of building these houses was $8,000; the land on which they stand was

valued at about $12,000.

"There seems to have been some misunderstanding with regard to the rents to be derived from the lower floors, the Po Leung Kuk Committee thinking that they were to go towards the maintenance of the Home, while the Government decided that they were to be paid into the Treasury.

"When the buildings had been completed the Po Leung Kuk objected to move into them

because they considered them unsuitable, etc.,......?

and in the report to the Colonial Secretary dated 1st February, 1892, on a petition from the Po Leung Kuk, the Registrar General says--

"I understand that it is the intention of the Government to sell the five houses, the top floors of which were intended for a Home. Their value, together with that of the ground on which they stand, has been estimated by the Surveyor General at $21,000."

Will the Government inform the Council whether these houses, erected at the public expense, were built upon inland lot No. 1,129; if so, have they been sold by private contract, the name. of the buyer, and at what price? In connection with the sale, if there has been one, will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the correspondence which has passed between the Government and the Colonial Office on the subject?

(4)

Will the Government lay upon the table a statement of the number of convictions, the amount of fines imposed and paid, in respect of offences against Ordinance No. 13 of 1895, from the date it came into force until the end of last week, and a copy of the correspondence which has passed between the home authorities and the Colonial Government in connection with the Bill, and also inform the Council whether it has yet received the sanction of the Imperial Government, and if not, state the cause of delay?

(5)

Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the reports or letters to the Government from the sub-Committee appointed by the General Committee elected at the public meeting held at the City Hall on 27th September, 1894, to consider and report upon the question of recognition of services rendered during the suppression of the plague last year, and a copy of all the correspondence which has passed between the Government and the home authorities in connection therewith.

Re

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895. 1217

   QUESTIONS.-Mr. CHATER, by special permission of His Excellency the Governor, asked the following questions :---

(1) What are the reserves of water at the present moment, and will they be sufficient at the present

rate of distribution to last to the end of the dry season?

(2) In view of the great scarcity of water this year and the consequent inconvenience both to individuals and industrial enterprises, are any steps being taken to increase the supply and prevent a recurrence of a similar scarcity?

His Excellency the Governor replied.

His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

I have much pleasure in meeting you again for the transaction of public business. The programme that I have to present to you is a somewhat lengthy one, the most pressing. item in it is, of course, the Appropriation Bill for 1896. From the Draft Estimates, which I now lay on the table and which were circulated more than a fortnight ago together with the explanatory memoranda, you will perceive that the revenue for 1896 is estimated at $2,288,366. This estimate has been prepared with due caution; and I believe that it will be realised.

The total estimated expenditure, on the other hand, amounts to $2,479,062, of which $197,200 is for Public Works Extraordinary and chargeable to the Loan. After deducting this sum there remains a total estimated expenditure chargeable to current revenue of $2,281,862, or an estimated surplus of revenue over expenditure of $6,504.

The chief increases on the expenditure side, as compared with the Estimates for 1895, appear under the following heads :-

1. Public Works Extraordinary chargeable to revenue,

2. Public Works, Recurrent,.

3. Public Debt,

4. Military Expenditure,

5. Sanitary Department,

.$90,130

.$15,200

$16,843

.$44,215

$12,206

6. Medical Departments,..

...........$ 5.921

The first item includes $30,000 towards the Taipingshan Improvement Scheme, $15,000 for Public Latrines, $17,000 for a new Isolation Hospital, a very urgent requirement, $10,000 towards the extension of the Public Recreation Ground at Happy Valley, and certain sums for the construction and extension of roads at Kowloon. The increase under the second head is partly on account of sewerage works, the extension of the system involving an additional cost for upkeep, and partly for maintenance of waterworks at Kowloon chargeable to Water Account.

The increase on account of Public Debt is due to the contribution to the New Sinking Fund, which commences in October next.

As regards the Military Expenditure the annual contribution has been calculated at 17 per cent. of the estimated revenue for 1896, exclusive of premia on Land Sales. There is also provided a sum of $40,000 for "Barrack Services" during the year. I am in possession of the views of the Unofficial Members on this subject, and they are receiving the attention of the Imperial Government. As the matter is still sub judice,

          As the matter is still sub judice, I would ask you, gentlemen, to vote the sum provided in the Estimates subject to such further representations as you may hereafter have to make, and to such modifications as may hereafter be approved.

1218

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

The large increase in the cost of the Sanitary Department appears alarming at first sight, but admits of easy explanation. It is on account of the additional staff required for the New Central Market and Sheep and Pig Depots as well as for the cost of lighting the former ($7,000) for which no provision was made in the Estimates of 1895. Against this increase must be set the additional revenue derived from the new market and depots. The increase in the Medical Department is accounted for by the appointment of a Medical Officer of Health who is borne on the medical establishment.

As a compensation for this additional expenditure various economies have been effected in other directions, notably in the Colonial Secretary's Office, the Registrar General's Department, the Magistracy, the Police, the Fire Brigade, and under Miscellaneous Services. Numerous offices have still to be dealt with on the lines recommended by the Retrenchment Committee.

In addition to the reduction of establishments, which has already been effected, the salaries of the Treasury staff have been re-adjusted in such a manner as to secure a saving of $2,246. Reductions have also been made in the Post Office, Stamp Office, and the Supreme Court Office.

From this statement you will gather that no favourable opportunity for effecting retrenchment has been lost, and you may rely on me to curtail expenditure, so far as is practicable, as occasion offers in the future.

And now, gentlemen, having dealt with the Appropriation Bill for 1896, I have to ask you to vote the sum required to defray the Charges of the coming year. If there are any items in regard to which further information is desired, it will be forthcoming in Finance Committee or when the Council is in Committee on the Bill,

I will now make a few general remarks on the condition of the Colony. When I addressed you on a similar occasion last year, it was my painful duty to refer to a dismal succession of reverses and misfortunes. We were then only just recovering from the shock of a great disaster, and were but beginning to recognize the absolute necessity of a large measure of sanitary reform. To-day I have to announce to you a great improvement in these matters. The resumption of Taipingshan was perhaps one of the largest works ever undertaken by the Government of this Colony. Thanks to the efficiency and tact of the Board of Arbitrators all claims arising under that head have been amicably and speedily settled, the Crown has entered into possession, and the "Improvement Scheme," approved by this Council and by the Secretary of State, is being carried into effect. As I anticipated, the cost of resumption has amounted to $821,000. Of this sum $386,000 has been defrayed from balances in hand, and the remainder has been borrowed from Loan and other Government monies in the custody of the Crown Agents, interest being paid at the same rate as the money would earn by temporary investments at home. This course has been considered more economical than, and therefore preferable to, raising a further loan or to an overdraft on the local Banks, supposing such an arrangement to have been practicable.

As regards the liquidation of the outstanding balance of $435,000 on Taipingshan Account, I am glad to state that the receipts up to date are exceedingly satisfactory. The revenue for 1895 will be about $2,363,000 and the expenditure about $2,143,000, so that I have reason to expect a surplus of revenue over expenditure at the end of the present year of some $220,000. If this forecast is correct, there will be a pro tanto reduction of our indebtedness, and the year 1896 should begin with a debit balance on this account of $215,000 only.

1

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895. 1219

In consequence of the improvement of Taipingshan a large area of land will probably be ready for sale in the course of next year, and with an expanding revenue it is to be hope? that the debit balance will disappear at the end of 1896. Then again, 1897 should witness extensive land sales in Taipingshan, and when the account is finally closed, the result will, in all probability, be more than gratifying. As regards the expenditure on this work, the total cost of which is estimated at $83,000, a sum of $30,000 has been provided in the Esti- mates for 1896, and you will be asked to vote the balance when the Supply Bill for 1897 comes before you. I have now, gentlemen, put briefly before you the financial position of the Colony, and having regard to all the circumstances you will doubtless agree with me in thinking that the state of affairs is both satisfactory and hopeful.

In addition to the resumption of Taipingshan other active measures for improving the sanitation of the Colony have been undertaken.

The provisions of The Public Health Ordinance, 1887, and of Ordinance No. 4 of 1895 have been strictly and steadily enforced, and upwards of 400 common lodging-houses have been licensed. It would thus appear that the evil of overcrowding has at length, to some extent, been successfully checked.

The enforcement of Ordinance No. 15 of 1894, which gave this Council no little trouble, has been accompanied by a marked amelioration of the sanitary condition of private premises throughout the Colony. Accumulations of filth and rubbish, illegal cocklofts, mezzanine floors, and back-yard obstructions have been removed, and the ground surface of upwards of 700 tenements have been concreted.

A special inspection of the drainage of private premises was made in the early part of the year

  and revealed a most insanitary state of affairs as regards the old drains, whereas the drainage of those premises in which the new system has been introduced was found to be in excellent condition. The re-draining of private premises progresses, upwards of 2,150 houses having been already drained; and with a view to the early completion of this work arrangements have been made by which drainage connections can be carried out by the Public Works Department. Owners should readily avail themselves of this facility.

The work of raising the dam at the Tytam Reservoir has advanced, and there is now storage capacity for an additional 40 million gallons of water. Unfortunately the small rain- fall up to date has not admitted of this additional quantity being stored. The long and unprecedented drought has been a source of much anxiety to the Government. The rain- fall up to the 30th September last was some 38 inches below the average, and some 15 inches below the minimum yet recorded. As a natural result the dry season commences with a water supply of 242,000,000 gallons instead of the usual quantity of 378,000,000 gallons. It has therefore already been necessary to curtail the supply to the City of Victoria by some 1,400,000 gallons daily. By this economy and by close supervision over the consumption of water generally, it is believed there will be a sufficient supply for ordinary wants until the rainy season comes round again. The new waterworks at Kowloon are sufficiently advanced to admit of water being supplied from public fountains to the most populous parts' of the district, and a continuous supply is being maintained. When the pumping machinery is erected, the supply will be extended to the higher levels, but at present there is not enough pressure of water to reach them.

The mortality statistics shew that the health of the Colony is good, and the present year promises to be the healthiest on record notwithstanding the somewhat alarming prevalence of malarial fever, which is no doubt due to the exceptional drought.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

Profiting by last year's experience, and looking to the prevalence of the plague in the neighbourhood of the Colony during the early part of 1895, I appointed a Committee of Officials to consider what exceptional measures should be taken to protect the Colony against the re-appearance of the disease, or, in the event of its re-appearing, to limit its ravages as far as possible. Temporary hospital accommodation and burial grounds were at their suggestion provided,-and arrangements made for the removal of patients, the isolation of those who had been in immediate contact with the disease, and the disinfection and cleansing of infected premises. It was further deemed advisable to prohibit Chinese immigration from certain infected neighbouring ports for several months during the year, but this restriction was not continued longer than was absolutely necessary. The precautions taken against the recurrence of the plague and the timely arrangements made for dealing with it have been efficacious. I am glad to inform you that only 29 cases have occurred during the that at no time was an epidemic threatened.

In

my

year, and

In accordance with the recommendation of a Committee of Enquiry into the Medical Department, a Medical Officer of Health has recently been appointed. I regret to state that there has been some misunderstanding between the Government and the Unofficial Members of the Sanitary Board in regard to this appointment, and it may not be out of place here to explain briefly the position of the Government in this matter.

address to this Council on the 28th November last, I expressed my own views, which coincided with those of the Retrenchment Committee, regarding the Sanitary Board as hitherto constituted. I deprecated the division of responsibility which such a constitution involved, and I urged the desirability of placing the sanitary system on a different basis. Some opposition has been offered to my views in certain quarters, and it is not improbable that a compromise will eventually be In this suggested by the Secretary of State, but as yet no decision has been arrived at. uncertain state of affairs, I was unwilling to assign any definite position to the newly appointed Medical Officer as the subordinate of a Body which might, at any time, cease to exist.

+

I accordingly adopted the modus vivendi which was offered to me by the suggestion of the Medical Committee and which afforded the Government an opportunity of weighing the further recommendations of the Committee in regard to the reconstitution of the medical staff, on which the future position of the Medical Officer of Health must, to a great extent, depend. I should not have thought it necessary to make this explanation were it not for certain insinuations which have been made as to the motives of the Government. There are those who have pretended to see in the action of the Government an attempt to deal a death- blow to the Sanitary Board. I disclaim any such motive; and even had such been my object, I should at least have adopted measures better calculated to effect it-measures which would have left no doubt whatever as to my intentions.

As a matter of fact, however, the responsibility of deciding this vexed question does not rest with me. Having expressed my views, my duty ends, and I can only hope that whatever conclusion may be arrived at, it will effectually secure the sanitary well-being of this community, which after all is our common object.

Turning to other matters of general interest, the shipping returns up to the 30th September last are more than encouraging.

For the first 9 months of this year, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, British shipping shews an increase of 378 vessels aggregating 575,306 tons.

Foreign shipping with a numerical decrease of 75 ships also shews an increase in tonnage of 11,887 tons. European vessels have handled and carried some 276,000 tons of cargo more than last year.

+

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

1221

There is likewise an increase in the Foreign and Local Junk Trades of 178,747 tons and 79,263 tons, respectively.

The total increase over last year in the number of ships entered and cleared at this port is no less than 5,551 vessels aggregating 845,203 tons--a distinct improvement even on the exceptionally good returns for 1893.

The passenger traffic returns shew an increase of 25,186 in the number of emigrants, but immigration has fallen off considerably doubtless on account of the prohibition in force during several months in respect of certain neighbouring ports infected with the plague.

Chinese seamen's boarding-houses have recently been inspected and licensed for the first time, and there are now 67 such houses duly licensed, affording accommodation for 1.120 men.

The criminal statistics are gratifying, and there has been no repetition of the riots which occurred in the early part of last year. The public peace has been efficiently preserved by the Police, and with the exception of the coolie strike, which took place at the latter end of March last in connection with the enforcement of the bye-laws for the regulation of common lodging-houses, and the robbery with violence on the 18th and 22nd instant, there is, I rejoice to say, no "Police News" worthy of record.

The firm attitude of the Government during the coolie strike was, however, not maintained without loss and inconvenience to the commercial community, but the cir- cumstances did not admit of concession, and looking to future interests it will, I think, be generally admitted that the success achieved was not too dearly purchased.

The community is indebted to the Naval and Military Authorities for their ready assistance in the emergency, and the Police, as usual, did excellent work in keeping order and relieving the situation as far as possible by providing coolies and cargo boats for the several firms.

With regard to education, it appears that the attendance at the several schools, which fell off last year, has now recovered its normal proportions. Including Queen's College, there are now 16 Government Schools, and 105 Grant-in-Aid Schools, (of which latter 10 have been opened during the year) in addition to numerous Chinese "Kaifong" Schools.

It has often struck me as extraordinary-not to say discreditable-that, after 55 years of British rule, the vast majority of Chinese in Hongkong should remain so little "Anglicised." I have thus been led to enquire more thoroughly than I have hitherto done into the system of education adopted in the local schools, and I am of opinion that too much attention has hitherto been paid to purely Chinese subjects. With a view therefore of promoting a more general knowledge of English amongst the Chinese, the Government proposes in future to subsidise only those schools in which special attention is paid to the teaching of the English language and modern subjects. It is hoped that this will tend to educate the rising generation of Chinese to more enlightened views and ideas, and to dispel the ignorance and blind superstition, which have proved and still are proving such a stumbling block to the promotion of their moral and physical well-being.

The silver question remains as much a problem as ever. I had hoped that before this the evils of a depreciated dollar would have been compensated for in some degree by an influx of English capital into the Colony, but the stability of exchange appears to be beyond all control, and so long as that is the case, English capitalists will probably prefer to assist the apparently failing industries of Lancashire rather than run any risk in industrial ventures abroad. I notice, however, that in Shanghai capital is being readily subscribed for the establishment of Cotton Mills and other industries, and I could wish to see a similar spirit

1222

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

of enterprise abroad in this Colony. With its unceasing water supply the "model settlement has advantages in this respect which are denied to Hongkong; but there is no reason why local difficulties should not be faced and ultimately overcome, or why this valuable entrepot of Eastern commerce should not also become ere long a great industrial centre.

Past and passing political events in the Far East are of special importance to Hong- kong. The peace of Shimonoseki, which brought the hostilities between Japan and China to a close in May last, has not been unproductive of disappointment, nor is the political. horizon yet quite as clear as could be wished. It is to be hoped, however, that the Great Eastern Problem will work out peacefully and beneficially. In the meantime we may rest assured that the interests of Great Britain and her possessions will be safely guarded and judiciously forwarded by Her Majesty's Government as opportunity offers, and in this connection I would incidentally remark that whilst for a time at least local interests may necessarily be postponed in favour of purely Imperial interests, I have every reason to believe that the questions most particularly affecting this Colony have by no means been lost sight of.

In conclusion, gentlemen, I thank you for the patient hearing which you have accorded to me. The period which I have reviewed has been one of activity in sanitary reform and improvement in many other directions. I have looked in vain for the symptoms peculiar to a people "writhing under injustice" and "taxed up to the limit of endurance," and I have discovered only that happy condition of progress and prosperity which usually obtains in a well-ordered community. To the maintenance of that progress and prosperity, to financial economy, to sanitary improvements, and to the furtherance, generally, of the best interests of this community, I shall faithfully continue to devote myself: With your ready and loyal co-operation, gentlemen, I can safely look forward to some additional measure of success during the term of government that still remains to me.

2. (i) Subject to any rules to be made under this Ordinance all moneys paid into the Supreme Court, and all moneys now in or hereafter coming into the hands of the Registrar as Official Trustee or as Official Administrator, which shall not be required by any written law to be dealt with in any particular way and shall not be required by any order of Court to be laid out in any particular investment shall be placed by direction of the Registrar of the Supreme Court on deposit with the Colonial Treasurer.

3. The Colonial Treasurer shall from time to time on the requisition of the Registrar of the Supreme Court pay out of the moneys belonging to Government for the time being in his hands such sums as may be required to meet the orders of the Supreme Court with regard to the moneys so placed on deposit and the interest thereon.

4. The Chief Justice with the concurrence of the Governor may make rules for carrying this Ordinance into effect and regulating the deposit, payment, delivery and transfer in, into and out of the Supreme Court of money, securities and moveable property, and the evidence of such deposit, payment, delivery or transfer and the investment of and other dealings with money, securities and moveable property in Court and the execution of the orders of the Supreme Court and the powers and duties of the Registrar of the Supreme Court with reference to such money, secu- rities and property and in particular for doing all or any of the following things:-

ation.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to carry out the instructions of the Secretary of State "that an Ordinance should be "passed somewhat on the lines of The Suitors' Funds "Ordinance, 1891, of the Straits Settlements, under which "the Court monies are placed on deposit with the Colonial "Treasurer and the Government is made liable to make 'good all monies so placed on deposit together with interest

at the rate of two per cent. per annnm."

"C

*

Where the parties desire to obtain a greater interest than the two per cent. provided by the Bill, they must apply for an order of the Court to sanction any particular investment.

The Bill is very similar to the Straits Settlements Ordi- nance above referred to, which was based upon the Imperial Act 35 and 36, Vict. cap. 44, secs. 14-19.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend "The Stamp

BE

Ordinance, 1886."

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 with The Stamp Ordinance, 1886, (as amended by Ordi- nance No. 13 of 1894) hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance.

2. Sections 8 and 10 of the principal Ordinance are hereby repealed.

3. The following section shall be substituted in lieu of section 8 of the principal Ordinance :-

All documents whatever executed out of the Colony shall, before being used, brought into force or re- gistered within the Colony, be stamped according to the rate of duty to which they would have been liable had they been executed in the Colony.

4. The following section shall be substituted in lieu of section 10 of the principal Ordinance :-

Any Civil Court may direct the Collector to stamp and receive the duty and penalty, if any, upon any document which may be stamped after execution under this Ordinance. Such duty and penalty shall be paid into Court, and shall be remitted to the Collector with the document to be stamped after the document has been admitted in evidence.

The Collector of Stamp Duty may stamp documents after execution in cases where he shall be satisfied that the omission or neglect to stamp or to stamp sufficiently did not arise from any intention to evade payment of stamp duty or otherwise to defraud, subject to the following rules:--

(i) Transfers of shares shall not be stamped until the numbers of the shares and the consider- ation money are entered, nor shall they, if executed within the Colony, be stamped after execution.

(ii) Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes ex- ecuted in the Colony shall not be stamped after execution.

(iii) Documents executed out of the Colony shall be stamped in accordance with the provi- sions of section 3 of this Ordinance.

(iv) The documents mentioned in the schedule to this Ordinance may be stamped without payment of penalty at any time within seven days from the date of execution.

(v) Subject to the preceding rules, all documents which may be stamped after execution may be so stamped on payment of a penalty, as follows:-

(a) If within one month of execution, double the amount of deficient duty.

(b) If within two months, four times

the amount of deficient duty.

(c) If after two months, ten times

the amount of deficient duty.

PROVIDED ALWAYS that the Collector may remit the whole or any porsion of the penalty prescribed by this sub-section if he is satisfied that the omission or neglect to stamp arose solely from urgent necessity or unavoidable accident, or that the special circumstances of the case otherwise justify his doing so. He may require sworn or other evidence as to the circumstances at his discretion.

The principal object of this Ordinance is to enable the documents in the schedule to be stamped, without, penalty, at any time within seven days from their date of execution.

At the same time, it has been thought desirable to slightly alter the wording of sections 8 and 10 of the principal Ordinance, to confer on the Collector a slightly enlarged discretion with regard to the remission of penalties, and to reduce the penalties from ten and twenty times the amount of deficient duty, to four and ten times such amount, respectively.

SIR,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 28th August, 1895.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Lord RIPON's despatch, No. 156 of the 27th June last, on the subject of the military contribution to be paid by this Colony.

2. On receiving this despatch I at once communicated it to the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council, who have forwarded to me the reply, a copy of which is enclosed.

3. In this reply you will observe that the Unofficial Members, while not opposing the principle of fixing a proportion of the revenue as the amount of the military contribution, urge that what may be regarded as the municipal items of revenue should be exempted from the percentage to be charged, such exemption having been granted in the case of the Straits Settlements.

4. As you are aware, no municipality exists in Hongkong, and for that reason no distinction has hitherto been made between the revenue collected for general and for municipal purposes. But, though no such distinction has been made, there are certain items of revenue which may legitimately be regarded as municipal. and which, if a municipality existed or were created, would be levied and expended by it.

The enclosed list, drawn up by the Acting Treasurer (Mr. THOMSON), shows what these items are. If this Colony is to be treated in the same manner as the Straits Settlements, where the local or municipal revenues, amounting in round figures to 1 million dollars, are exempted from contributing towards the military expenditure, it would seem to be only fair that the municipal revenue of Hongkong should be allowed to enjoy a similar exemption.

5. In this connection it should be remembered, as the Unofficial Members point out, that loans have been raised by this Government for the purpose of carrying out works of a purely municipal nature, such as water-works, markets, &c., and it appears equitable that the revenue derived from such works, instead of being subjected to a charge of 17 per cent., should be applied to their upkeep, to defraying the interest on the moneys raised by loan to construct them, and to forming a sinking fund with a view to the ultimate liquidation of the debt incurred. on their account.

SIR,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 28th August, 1895.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Lord RIPON's despatch, No. 156 of the 27th June last, on the subject of the military contribution to be paid by this Colony.

2. On receiving this despatch I at once communicated it to the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council, who have forwarded to me the reply, a copy of which is enclosed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

6. With respect to the question of barrack accommodation, the Unofficial Members, as will be seen from their reply, are quite prepared to consider any vote that may be brought forward to defray the cost of such buildings as have not yet been commenced, but they are opposed to voting the moneys required for buildings already erected, as "the ratepayers will very much resent being called upon to pay for works which, without any reference to them or their representatives, "have been already completed or are nearing completion."

7. The arguments, advanced by the Unofficial Members regarding the exemption of the municipal items from contributing towards the military expendi- ture, appear to me to be reasonable and worthy of favourable consideration.

SIR,

Enclosure 1.

(Unofficial Members, Legislative Council, to Colonial Secretary.)

23rd August, 1895.

   We have given our most careful consideration to your letter of the 2nd instant, addressed to the Senior Unofficial Member, in which you transmit the proposal of the late Secretary of State for the Colonies with regard to the military contribution to be paid by the Colony, and would beg to submit certain consider- ations in this connection.

   1. The amount fixed by the Secretary of State, viz., 17% on the revenue of the Colony, with the exception of land sales and the premia on leases, would appear to be based on that of the contribution to be paid by Singapore, which is also 17%. Permit us, however, to point out a fact, which may have escaped the notice of the Secretary of State, namely, that the revenues of the two Colonies are on a somewhat different basis, for Singapore has a Municipal Council, and so a distinct municipal revenue, which is exempted from the military contribution, while in Hongkong the figures of the municipal, and of the rest of the revenue, are shown together. It does not appear clear to us from the Secretary of State's despatches whether he recognizes the existence of this difference, as he seems to include the municipal revenue of Hongkong in the amount on which the 17% has to be paid. Against this we must protest, and we would beg to lay before him some most important considerations against such a proceeding.

   We consider that the municipal revenue of Hongkong should be treated on the same footing as that of Singapore, the more so, because most of the important municipal works of Hongkong have been paid for by means of loans. From many of them we derive a considerable revenue, out of which we have to find the interest on the loans and provide a sinking fund; and it seems hardly reasonable to ask us at the same time to do this, and also to be paying for the military contribution 174% of these revenues.

1230

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

2. It may be objected that if the amount of the municipal revenue, say, $700,000, be subtracted from the total estimated revenue of the Colony, the military contribution would not reach the sterling sum of £40,000. But we would ask you, Sir, if it has not beer our constant contention that this sum has always been too heavy a burden for this Colony to bear. At the time when it was imposed we assented to it, as exchange was comparatively high, but ever since then it has been falling: in 1891 we paid $254,211.12, and in 1894 $371,647.50. The burden has therefore become more and more irksome, as we have constantly represented. Now, however, exchange is rising, and the sum which we should have to pay in dollars, if the same arrangement were adhered to, would be becoming less and less. On the other hand, with the proposed new arrangement, the Imperial Government, receiving a fixed sum of 17% in dollars, will naturally benefit the higher exchange goes. This should be taken into consideration, and also the fact that they will have the advantage both in the fall and the rise.

3. It must be further borne in mind that any increase in the revenue of the Colony will mean a corresponding one in the military contribution.

                            Now we are informed on good authority that the revenue for this year, instead of being, as estimated, $2,018,000, will probably be nearer $2,300,000, meaning a larger military contribution. There seems to be every reason for hoping that each succeeding year will show a fresh increase in the revenue, so that there would seem to be little cause for the Imperial Government to fear that our Military Contribution will be inadequate.

It may be argued that if in 1894, when our revenue was $2,287,203, we were able to pay $371,647.50, as a military contribution, it should not be difficult for us to pay what the Imperial Government now demands. But what was the result of this heavy disbursement? That to carry on the public works of the Colony we were obliged to raise loans with which we are still saddled. Yet another effect is that we were so straitened for means that the Government buildings were neglected, and now we find that most of our public buildings are con- demned, and that we shall have to rebuild them at a cost, we are given to under- stand, of $650,000. If we are again without funds, we shall find ourselves in the same difficulty as before, and burdened by a further debt.

We would beg you, Sir, to lay our representations before the Secretary of State. That they are well founded we think there can be no contention, and we are confident that, when our case is put before him, he will acknowledge the justice of it. We merely ask to be placed on a par with our sister-colony, and to be allowed to apply our revenues to our own needs. We are most anxious to meet the Imperial Government in every way that we feel is consistent with justice and fairness, and if they will agree to the point we have raised, there will be no hesitation on our part in supporting the Ordinance asked for.

With regard to the Colony's contribution for "Barrack Services," we know that the ratepayers will very much resent being called upon to pay for works which, without any reference to them or their representatives, have been already completed, or are nearing completion. We may say that we concur in this feeling, and therefore feel ourselves bound to oppose any proposal that the Colony should be called upon to bear a share in this expenditure. The case is different with those works which have not yet been begun, and if His Excellency the Governor would bring forward a financial minute regarding them, we would be prepared to consider it.

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servants,

No. 258.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

26th October, 1895.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 267 of 28th August last, regarding the military contribution of the Colony, and the cost of construction of the new Barracks.

2. With reference to the inclusion in the Hongkong revenue of certain receipts which are of a municipal character, and are not included in the general Revenue of the Straits Settlements, because municipalities exist in that Colony, I have in the first place to point out to you that the municipal revenues at the Straits Settlements are only about 20% of the gross revenues (general and muni- cipal), and that for the sake of comparison between the two Colonies I could not regard as "municipal" several of the items specified in the second enclosure to your despatch under acknowledgment which altogether amount to over 30% of the Revenue. For instance, Pawnbrokers' Licences and Spirit Licences form part of the general, not the municipal revenue, in the Straits Settlements. In that Colony also the municipalities contribute about $72,000 to the General Revenue for Police purposes, while the municipal work in the outlying districts is performed by the Colonial Government, which receives for that purpose $87,000 under the head "District Collections.'

"

   3. Further, the cases of Hongkong and the Straits Settlements cannot be regarded in this matter as on the same footing, since although there are separate municipal revenues in the latter Colony, on the other hand the expenses of general administration are proportionately greater than in Hongkong, partly owing to the larger area of the Colony, which is more than fifty times as large as Hongkong, while the gross revenues (including municipal receipts) are less than three times those of Hongkong, and partly to the distance of the several Settlements from each other, requiring in some branches of the Government service the maintenance of a double or triple staff of officers as compared with the staff required in the compact Colony of Hongkong.

1232

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1895.

4. Under all the circumstances of the case I see no reason for regarding the proposed percentage, taken on the total revenue of the Colony, as at all an unreasonable contribution to ask for from Hongkong.

5. As regards the expenditure on new Barracks I have to remind you that your predecessor was informed five years ago, in Lord KNUTSFORD's despatch No. 8 of 20th January, 1890, that the Colony would be asked to bear a portion of the cost of their construction. The fact that some of the expenditure had already been incurred was among other considerations taken into account, when it was proposed, in Lord RIPON's despatch No. 83 of 3rd April last, that the Colony should only pay one third of the net total cost of the Barracks, and if the Imperial Government had agreed to pay the whole cost of the buildings already in hand or completed, it could have only been on the condition that the Colony would bear a larger proportion than one third of the remaining expenditure. I trust that on further consideration the Members of the Legislative Council will agree that the proposals of Her Majesty's Government on this subject form a fair and reasonable settlement of the question.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

4. Under all the circumstances of the case I see no reason for regarding the proposed percentage, taken on the total revenue of the Colony, as at all an unreasonable contribution to ask for from Hongkong.

5. As regards the expenditure on new Barracks I have to remind you that your predecessor was informed five years ago, in Lord KNUTSFORD's despatch No. 8 of 20th January, 1890, that the Colony would be asked to bear a portion of the cost of their construction. The fact that some of the expenditure had already been incurred was among other considerations taken into account, when it was proposed, in Lord RIPON's despatch No. 83 of 3rd April last, that the Colony should only pay one third of the net total cost of the Barracks, and if the Imperial Government had agreed to pay the whole cost of the buildings already in hand or completed, it could have only been on the condition that the Colony would bear a larger proportion than one third of the remaining expenditure. I trust that on further consideration the Members of the Legislative Council will agree that the proposals of Her Majesty's Government on this subject form a fair and reasonable settlement of the question.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

No. 216.

SIR,

With reference to previous correspondence on the subject of the rate at which

Mr. Justice ACKROYD should be allowed to draw his pension, I transmit to you

Mr. Justice ACKROYD. the enclosed copies of correspondence from which you will perceive that I have

C.O., 16th August.

Mr. Justice ACKROYD. 17th August.

C.O., 29th August.

thought it better to concede the point which he contended for.

I was aware that my Predecessor had only arrived at a contrary conclusion

after much doubt and deliberation; but whilst I recognise the force of the argu-

ments which found most weight with him, I have thought that as there was a

doubt and as the matter, through some oversight, was not made clear to Mr. Justice

ACKROYD at the time of his appointment it was preferable on grounds of public

policy to lean to the more generous view.

The pension will amount to two-thirds of $8,400, or, in other words, to $5,600,

which, at the exchange rate of 4/2d. to the dollar, will be equal to £1,166.13.4 a

year.

The Crown Agents have been instructed to pay Mr. ACKROYD at this rate

from Hongkong funds pending a reference to the Mauritius Government and the

verification of the sum which that Colony should contribute towards his total

pension. The payments will then be adjusted between the two Colonies.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

humble Servant,

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.

   NEW MEMBER.-Commander W. C. H. HASTINGS took the oath of allegiance on his provisional appointment to a seat in the Council.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 25th November, 1895, were read and confirmed.

   REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-The Colonial Secretary, by command of His Excellency the Governor, laid on the table the report of the Finance Committee dated 25th November, 1895, (No. 8), and moved its adoption.

The Acting Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE.-The Director of Public Works laid on the table the report of the Public Works Committee dated 25th November, 1895, (No. 4), and moved its adoption.

The Acting Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

   QUESTION. Mr. CHATER, by special permission of His Excellency the Governor, asked the following question :-

Will the Government lay upon the table copies of all the correspondence that has passed between the Government of Hongkong and the Colonial Office on the subject of the Military Contribution since the receipt here of the Marquess of Ripon's despatch on that subject of the 27th June, 1895?

   The Colonial Secretary replied and laid upon the table the Despatches on the subject of the Military Contribution.

1252 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH DECEMBER, 1895.

   NOTICE OF QUESTIONS.-Mr. BELILIOS gave notice that at the next Meeting of Council he would ask the following questions:

Will the Government be good enough to say why (experiments having shown the practicability of such a course) steps are not taken to pump up sea water to the higher levels with which to wash out the drains?

Will the Government kindly inform the Council of the reasons for the suspension, for many months, of all work upon, and apparent indefinite postponement of completion of, the base and pedestal for the Jubilee statue of Her Majesty the Queen? Is there any insuperable obstacle in the way of the erection of this statue, which has now for nearly a year been interned in a godown, instead of being placed in the position for which it was designed?

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

(1)

Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the correspondence which has passed between the Government, including the elaborate memorandum of the honourable the Colonial Secretary which accompanied it, and the home officials, and between the latter and the Colonial Govern- ment concerning the petition from the ratepayers of Hongkong to the Commons of England praying for reform in the constitution of the local Government, and for the rights and privileges common to the British people in the smallest parish in England or Scotland of settling their local municipal affairs in their own way and to their own mind; as well as copies of all communications on the subject of the appointment of two Unofficial Members to the Executive Council, and two additional Unofficial Members to the Legislative Council?

(2)

With reference to the numerously signed petition to your Excellency, from Peak residents, house owners, and other ratepayers, praying for the construction, with all reasonable speed, of a new road in lieu of the present steep and unsuitable one-really the original mountain path, widened and improved to meet the requirements of a traffic ever on the increase, and which has outgrown the road's capacities-leading from Victoria Gap, passing on the south of "Treverbyn" and "Stolzenfels," on a comparatively easy gradient, and terminating near the Peak Club or Mount Kellet-will the Government inform the Council whether it is proposed to proceed with this very necessary public work, good road communication being very necessary and earnestly desired by the large resident community; state the probable cost of the road, and if the work is not to be undertaken at present, what are the reasons which delay its being carried out?

(3)

With reference to the Colonial Secretary's letter No. 1187 of 27th June, 1892, to the Registrar General, forwarding a precis of correspondence re Home for Girls, the following paragraphs appear in the latter:-

"Five Chinese houses were accordingly erected near St. Stephen's Church in accordance with plans which the P8 Leung Kuk Committee had seen, and which, it was understood, they approved......

"The cost of building these houses was $8,000; the land on which they stand was

valued at about $12,000.

"There seems to have been some misunderstanding with regard to the rents to be derived from the lower floors, the Po Leung Kuk Committee thinking that they were to go towards the maintenance of the Home, while the Government decided that they were to be paid into the Treasury.

"When the buildings had been completed the Po Leung Kuk objected to move into them

because they considered them unsuitable, etc.,......?

and in the report to the Colonial Secretary dated 1st February, 1892, on a petition from the Po Leung Kuk, the Registrar General says-

"I understand that it is the intention of the Government to sell the five houses, the top floors of which were intended for a Home. Their value, together with that of the ground on which they stand, has been estimated by the Surveyor General at $21,000."

Will the Government inform the Council whether these houses, erected at the public expense, were built upon inland lot No. 1,129; if so, have they been sold by private contract, the name of the buyer, and at what price? In connection with the sale, if there has been one, will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the correspondence which has passed between the Government and the Colonial Office on the subject?

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH DECEMBER, 1895. 1253

(4)

Will the Government lay upon the table a statement of the number of convictions, the amount of

fines imposed and paid, in respect of offences against Ordinance No. 13 of 1895, from the date it came into force until the end of last week, and a copy of the correspondence which has passed between the home authorities and the Colonial Government in connection with the Bill, and also inform the Council whether it has yet received the sanction of the Imperial Government, and if not, state the cause of delay?

(5)

Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the despatch from the Secretary of State to the Colonies sanctioning the pension to be paid to the Honourable Mr. Justice Ackroyd on his retiring from the service?

(6)

Will the Government inform the Council on whose recommendation Mr. Matthews was requested to visit Hongkong, inspect professionally the Gap Rock lighthouse, and state the cost of his report?

(7)

Will the Government inform the Council as to the conditions on which the Golf Club have been granted authority to build their club house at the west end of the Wongneichong Valley, and the terms of the lease, if there is one?

(8)

Will the Government inform the Council whether it is proposed to proceed with the construction of the much needed and desirable new road between Plantation Road Station and Magazine Gap; the probable cost; if the work is not to be proceeded with at present, what causes the delay, and when will the work be taken in hand?

(9)

Will the Government lay upon the table a statement showing the total cost of the administration, or the expenditure of the Government under the head of salaries, including allowances if any, pensions, exchange compensation, &c., for the years 1892, 1893, 1894, and 1895, separately?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

   Mr. WHITEHEAD, with the permission of His Excellency the Governor, withdrew the following question :-

Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the reports or letters to the Government from the sub-Committee appointed by the General Committee elected at the public meeting held at the City Hall on 27th September, 1894, to consider and report upon the question of recognition of services rendered during the suppression of the plague last year, and a copy of all the correspondence which has passed between the Government and the home authorities in connection therewith?

RESOLUTION. Mr. WHITEHEAD gave notice that at the next Meeting he would move the follow- ing resolution:-

That His Honour Mr. Justice E. J. Ackroyd (recently retired after forty-one years of true and faithful work in the Colonial Service, of which he served in Hongkong for fourteen years as Registrar of the Supreme Court, Puisne Judge, and Acting Chief Justice) rendered very many and most valuable services to the Colony, outside and in addition to the duties of the various offices held by him. That from 1882 to 1890 he was a member of the Commission for the revision of the laws of the Colony; he was on the Crown Lands Commission; on the Squat- ters Commission; on the Board for adjusting the claims of the squatters; on the Commission of enquiry into the defalcations in the Post Office, and in the Treasury; on the enquiry into the working of the emigration laws; and on the enquiry into the difficulties in 1891 which arose between the Opium Farmer and the Government. He rendered services of great value as Chairman of the enquiry into the expenditure and the cost of the Administration, and as Chairman of the Committee appointed to enquire into the resumption of the Taipingshan district, he carried out a most difficult, arduous, and delicate work with promptitude, impartiality, and to the entire satisfaction of the Government and the claimants. The Council desire to tender to the Honourable Mr. Justice Ackroyd their hearty thanks for all his zealous labours, ever readily and cheerfully rendered, and for his devotion to promoting the welfare and the interests of the Colony, and to wish him every health and happiness, as well as a continued career of usefulness.

   SIR,-Adverting to C.S.O. 283, containing a petition from certain residents requesting the construction of a road from Victoria Gap to Mount Kellet Road, I have the honour to inform you that I have considered the matter and now submit a project for the construction of such road.

2. If a road is worth making at all, it should be a thoroughly good one of uniform gradient as far as practicable, and of ample width; further, care should be taken that the hill-side is not excavated more than necessary, leaving extensive bare slopes exposed to the heavy summer rains, rendering their disintegration and consequent fouling of the public water supply inevitable.

   3. The project proposed is shewn on the accompanying drawing, and provides for raising the level of the present dip immediately south of the Tram Station.

4. Opposite the Peak Hotel, the road is widened to afford accommodation for chairs, and for the remainder of its length has a clear width of 15 feet.

5. The estimated cost is from $25,000 to $26,000. ·

The expression "Court of Probate" means any Court or authority by whatever name designated, having jurisdiction in matters of probate :

ture.

3. The Governor in Council may, on being satisfied that the legislature of any British possession has made adequate provision for the recognition in that possession of probates and letters of administration granted by the Supreme Court, direct by Order that this Ordinance shall, subject to any exceptions and modifications specified in the Order, apply to that possession, and thereupon, while the Order is in force, this Ordinance shall apply accordingly.

4. Every such Order in Council shall be published ? in the Gazette.

The Governor in Council may revoke or alter any Order previously made under this Ordinance.

5. (i) Where a Court of Probate in a British Posses- sion to which this Ordinance applies has granted probate or letters of administration in respect of the estate of a deceased person, the probate or letters so granted may, on being produced to and a copy thereof deposited with the Supreme Court of this Colony, be sealed with the seal of that Court, and, thereupon, shall be of the like force and effect, and have the same operation in the Colony, as if granted by that Court.

(ii) Provided that the Court shall, before sealing a probate or letters of administration under this section, be satisfied-

(a) that probate duty has been paid in respect of so much (if any) of the estate as is liable to probate duty in the Colony; and

(b) in the case of letters of administration, that security has been given in a sum sufficient in amount to cover the property (if any) in the Colony to which the letters of administration relate;

and the Court may require such evidence (if any) as it thinks fit as to the domicile of the deceased person.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH DECEMBER, 1895. 1259

(iii) The Court may also, if it thinks fit, on the ap- plication of any creditor, require, before sealing, that adequate security be given for the payment of debts due from the estate to creditors residing in the Colony.

(iv) For the purposes of this section, a duplicate of any probate or letters of administration sealed with the seal of the Court granting the same, or a copy thereof certified as correct by or under the authority of the Court granting the same, shall have the same effect as the original.

(v) All Ordinances, enactments and rules of Court for the time being in force in the Colony, in relation to probate duty or in relation to fees and costs in the probate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, shall apply to applica- tions for sealing under this section to the same extent and in the same manner as if the person who applies for such sealing were a person applying for probate or letters of administration.

6. This Ordinance shall apply to probates and letters of administration granted in a British possession to which this Ordinance is applied, either before or after the passing of this Ordinance.

7. This Ordinance shall extend to authorise the sealing in the Colony of any probate or letters of administration granted by a British Court in a foreign country in like manner as it authorises the sealing of a probate or letters of administration granted in a British possession to which the Ordinance applies, and the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply accordingly with the necessary modifications.

The following notices have been issued by Mr. FIGG during the month :---

On the 2nd at 10.30 a. Red drum hoisted. "A typhoon appears to be situated near the Balingtang Channel." At 11.10 a. Forecast:-"strong N winds, perhaps a gale: cloudy and squally. Strong winds and gales from N and NE probable generally along the China Coast between Shanghai and Hainan."

   On the 3rd at 10.30 a. Red drum lowered. At 11.5 a. Forecast:-" barometer rising: strong N breezes cloudy and squally."

On the 4th at 11.10 a.

Forecast" barometer rising: strong to fresh N breezes, squally: fair.

Heavy monsoon in the China Sea."

    On the 1st November pressure was slightly above the normal at Shanghai, 30.19, and in defect to the extent of between 0.1 and 0.15 inch at Hongkong, 29.91, and at Manila, 29.76. Pressure had not recovered at the two latter stations in rear of the late typhoon which still existed on this day to the S of Hainan. At Manila the barometer fell somewhat during the afternoon a moderate WSW breeze prevailing, while at Bolinao a light breeze blew from NW. Fresh breezes from NE and E were blowing on the China Coast between Hongkong and Amoy. These observations afford some indications of the existence of a new disturbance which appears to have been situated to the E of N Luzon.

1266 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH DECEMBER, 1895.

On the 2nd November the following conditions prevailed. At Shanghai, 30.34, and at Pakhoi (Gulf of Tongking), 30.14, the barometer had risen rapidly. At Hongkong, 30.00, the increase of pressure was also considerable, but at Amoy, 29.94, there was no change. At Bolinao, 29.79, and at Manila, 29.86, the barometer had risen. In Japan pressure varied from 30.15 at Nagasaki to 30.04 at Tokio. Strong winds and gales from N to NE blew generally on the China Coast. At Ainoy and Swatow the direction backed from NE in the morning to N in the afternoon. At Gap Rock, Hongkong, a moderate to fresh gale blew from NNW, at Bolinao a light breeze from SE and S, and at Manila a moderate SW breeze in the morning and a light SE breeze in the afternoon. At sea we have the following observations at noon on the 2nd:-The S.S. Chittagong situated in 26° 15', 123° 00', 30.09 NE 9 or; S.S. Michael Jebsen 23° 39', 117° 56′ 29.91 NNE 9 o; S.S. Sungkiang 19° 04', 116° 48′ 29.71 NW 7 op; S.S. Yuensang 15° 01', 119° 58′ 29.87 SW 4 oq; Bk. Torrisdale 13° 56' 133° 01' 29.94 NE 5; S.S. Guthrie 8° 51', 121° 51′ 29.88 WNW 3 orq. These observations together with those made at the Coast Stations show that an area of low pressure was situated in the neighbourhood of the Balingtang Channel and the centre may be placed, approximately, in the position 20°, 120° at noon. The S.S. Yuensang had been steering S by E from her noon position (19° 12′, 118° 58′) of the previous day. The barometer fell to 29.70 at 4 a. on the 2nd, the wind of force 4 to 5, backing from E by N on the afternoon of the 1st to N at midnight, to W at 4 a. on the 2nd and thence to SW. These observations indicate that the vessel had passed to the W of a cyclonic disturbance between the evening of the 1st and morning of the 2nd. On board the Sungkiang, to the W of the centre and steering for Hongkong, the barometer was at its lowest point at noon and thereafter it rose rapidly, and they had a strong gale from NNW during the evening. To the NW of the centre the Michael Jebsen and other vessels, off the China Coast near Swatow and steering towards Hongkong, had the wind backing to N and NW during the afternoon and blowing a strong gale with the barometer rising late at night.

The disturbance seems to have been recurving to the NE during the evening.

  On the 3rd, we have the following observations:-Nagasaki 10 a. 29.93 NNW 3 or, 2 p. 29.91 NNW 4 o.; Tokio 10 a. 29.92 NW 2, 2 p. 29.69 NW 2; Shanghai 30.24, Amoy 29.98, Hongkong 30.06, Bolinao 29.86, Manila 29.88. Pressure had therefore increased to a moderate extent at the four latter stations while it had decreased in the North, especially in Japan. Strong winds from N and NE continued on the China Coast and strong winds from NW blew between Shanghai and Nagasaki. At Bolinao and Manila the wind was as follows:-Bolinao 9 a. SSW 2, 3 p. NW 3; Manila 10 a. W 1, 4 p. SW 4.

A depression was apparently moving rapidly to the NE at some distance from the S coast of Japan on this day, but the observations are insufficient to connect this with the disturbance situated near the Balingtang Channel on the previous day. The latter must have moved with extraordinary On the other velocity if it be assumed that it had reached the southern shores of Japan in 24 hours. hand, it is possible that its position was little changed and that it was filling up in the neighbourhood of S. Formosa. Observations from Formosa would determine the point but they are, unfortunately,

not available.

  On the 4th pressure had increased slightly at Shanghai and to the extent of 0.25 inch and 0.20 inch at Amoy and Hongkong respectively, and the NE monsoon blew with great severity in the N part of the China Sea during the following two or three days.

On the 8th at 5.30 p.

            "There are indications of a depression in the China Sea to the SW of Luzon." On the 9th at 11.15 a. Forecast:-"barometer unsteady: moderate N winds, probably freshening fine."

   On the 10th at 11.20 a. about 15° to 16° latitude."

On the 11th at 11.20 a.

On the 12th at 11.10 a.

On the 13th at 11.10 a.

"The depression now appears to be situated to the S of Hongkong in Forecast:-"barometer unsteady: fresh NE winds: fair."

Forecast" barometer steady: fresh NE winds: fair."

Forecast" barometer rising: fresh NE winds: fine."

Forecast:-" barometer rising: fresh to strong N breezes: fine, clear. Strong monsoon, increasing, in N part of China Sea."

  On the 14th at 11.10 a. Forecast" barometer steady: strong to fresh NE breezes: dull, some drizzling rain. Heavy monsoon in N part of China Sea.'

""

  Pressure remained about 0.2 inch above the normal over China and slightly in excess in Luzon until the 6th November when it commenced to decrease. On the 7th we have the following observations: Hongkong 30.14; Hoihow 30.19; Manila 29.90. Strong NE breezes blew on the S coast of China and light breezes from NNE at Bolinao and Manila. Off the Annam coast in about 13° latitude the barometer read 29.90 and moderate NE and N gales prevailed. The S.S. Memnon situated in 12° 13′,

i

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH DECEMBER, 1895. 1267

117° 39′ at noon (barometer 29.94), and steering S by W passed during the day from a region where moderate NE winds prevailed to one in which the wind was light and variable and accompanied by rainsqualls, and thence, in the evening, to one in which fresh SW winds were blowing with hard rain- squalls.

In the absence of more complete data it seems probable that a depression was in course of forma- tion in the trough-like area through which this vessel passed about mid-day.

On the 8th we have the following observations: Hongkong 30.03; Hoihow 30.08; Bolinao 29.83; Manila 29.86. The barometer had therefore fallen at these stations since the previous day. Light and moderate NE winds prevailed on the S coast of China and light SE winds at Manila with rain. At sea, off the Annam coast in about 13° latitude, the barometer read about 29.95 and inoderate gales from N and NW accompanied by wet squally weather prevailed. In 5°, 106° the barometer stood at about 29.95 and several vessels had fine weather with moderate NW breezes in this locality. The S.S. Memnon, to the W of the S extremity of Palawan, had the barometer, 29.87, falling with a moderate SSW gale accompanied by continuous rain and hard squalls.

These observations show that winds were cyclonic round the China Sea and indicate that the area of low barometer was situated to the NW of Palawan and to the SW of Luzon and approximately in the position 13°, 117° at noon on this day.

On the 9th we have the following observations:-Hongkong 29.98; Hoihow 30.02; Bolinao 29.80; Manila 29.82. The barometer had thus continued to fall slightly at these stations. Light and moderate NE and N winds blew on the S. Coast of China, light breezes from SE at Bolinao, and from NE to E at Manila. Off the Annam Coast in about 14° Latitude the barometer read 29.90 and fresh N to NNW gales prevailed. In about 7° 108° moderate NW breezes blew with showery and squally weather, the barometer standing at about 29.90. The S. S. Memnon had a fresh SW breeze with the barometer reading 29.85 near the Balabac Channel.

The central area of the depression seems to have been occupying much the same position as on the previous day, but the general decrease of pressure round the China Sea indicates that it was increasing in intensity.

On the 10th the following conditions prevailed:-Hongkong 30.03; Hoihow 30.03; Bolinao 29.82; Manila 29.86. These observations of the barometer show that pressure had increased slightly since the previous day on the S. Coast of China and in Luzon. It was below the normal to the extent of about 0.06 inch at Hongkong and 0.03 inch at Manila. Moderate NE monsoon blew on the S. Coast of China and moderate SE breezes at Bolinao. By aid of these and observations made on board vessels at sea, the centre may be placed, approximately, in 14° 116° at noon. At a distance of about 350 miles to the N of this position the S.S. Michael Jebsen, in 19° 54′ 115° 27′, had the barometer, 29.93, falling and a moderate gale NE increasing and veering slightly as she steered towards SSE. A very high cross sea, from NE and SE, prevailed. To the WNW, at a distance of about 350 miles, the S.S. Sishan, in 15° 53' 110° 27', had 29.85 and a strong increasing breeze from N; the S.S. Agamemnon, in 10° 45′ 111° 05', at a distance of about 350 miles to the SW of the centre had the barometer, 29.87, falling and a WNW increasing gale with high confused sea; near the position 8° 109° the barometer read about 29.97, the wind being a moderate breeze from NW to SW.

On the 11th pressure conditions on the S. Coast of China and in Luzon remained as on the previous day. The NE wind had, however, freshened a little on the S. Coast of China while the SE winds at Bolinao and Manila had become light. The centre of the depression must have been near the position 14° 115°. It was moving so slowly, at between 30 and 40 miles per day only, that the observations reveal but little difference in its situation from day to day, although a motion to some point of W is apparent on the whole. To the N by E of the above position at a distance of about 275 miles, the S.S. Michael Jebsen, in 18° 19′ 116° 43', had the barometer, 29.85, falling and the wind a strong gale from NE by E. The vessel was hove to during the afternoon, the wind increasing to storm force with a dangerously high sea; the S.S. Machew, at a distance of about 370 miles to NW, and in 18° 27', 111° 17' steering towards NE, had the barometer, 30.01, rising and a fresh increasing gale from NE; the S.S. Agamemnon, about 150 miles to the WSW of the centre and in 12° 48′ 113° 14′, had the barometer, 29.70, falling with a strong WNW gale and high confused sea; in about 11° 112° the barometer read 29.83 with fresh W breezes and in 8° 108° light WNW breezes prevailed with the barometer standing at 29.97.

On the 12th pressure had increased slightly on the S. Coast of China, while in Luzon no change had taken place. Hongkong had 30.04, Hoihow 30.06, Bolinao 29.83 and Manila 29.86. Light SE winds still prevailed at the two latter stations. The centre may be placed in 14°, 115° on this day at noon. The S.S. Michael Jebsen, hove to at a distance of 250 miles to the NNE of this position, continued to have winds of storm force from NE by E. At noon the barometer read 29.86, but it was now rising and the wind force decreased a little towards evening. Off the SE coast of Hainan, at a distance of 350 miles to the NW of the centre, the barometer read 29.97 and strong NNE winds with showery and squally weather prevailed; the S.S. Agamemnon was now situated in 13° 43', 114° 02′

and at a distance of 75 miles to SW by W of the centre. They still had a strong WNW gale at noon and the barometer had fallen to 29.55. The vessel was kept on her course towards NNE and during the afternoon the wind veered to NW and decreased to a moderate gale, the barometer rising a little. This vessel might have been run to the SE with advantage as by keeping her course to the northward she was passing towards the storm track and into the right-hand semicircle, a particularly dangerous position in the NE monsoon. NW to W gales blew at a distance of from 150 to 250 miles to the W and SW of the centre, the barometer reading about 29.95 on the Annam coast in 13° Lat. In 9° 7' 110° 47' the S.S. Albingia had 30.02 with a gentle NW breeze and fine weather.

:

On the 13th pressure was high over N. China and a considerable increase had taken place on the S. Coast of China and the barometer had also risen in Luzon; Hongkong had 30.15, Hoihow 30.16, Bolinao 29 88 and Manila 29.92. Pressure was now slightly above the normal both at Hongkong and Manila. Fresh NE monsoon blew on the S. coast of China and the light SE breezes were main- tained at Bolinao. From the marine data the position of the centre at noon on this day may be given as 14° 45′ 114° 30′ with accuracy from the following observations S.S. Agamemnon 15° 10′ 114° 27′ 29.58 NE 4; S.S. Pakling 14° 55′ 113° 32′ 29.71 NW 6; S.S. Wingsang 13° 47', 14° 25′ 29.71 W/S 6. They also indicate that the centre was a large one and show that there was a considerable area around it where the winds were comparatively light. The following information shows that strongest winds were experienced at some distance from the centre. To the W, at a distance of about 250 miles, the steamships Macduff, Holstein and Frammes experienced fierce gales from NNW; to the NNW, at a distance of from 300 to 350 miles, strong NNE winds to gales prevailed accompanied by showery and squally weather the barometer reading about 30.04; the S.S. Michael Jebsen still had a fierce NE gale at a distance of about 300 miles to the NE of the centre and strong NE monsoon prevailed at a distance of about 250 miles to the ENE of the centre which shows that the NE monsoon was spread- ing down the Eastern side of the China Sea in rear of the depression; the S.S. Albingia had only a fresh WNW breeze with the barometer reading 29.93 at a distance of 200 miles to the SW by S of

the centre.

During the evening on board the Agamemnon they had an increasing NE gale with the barometer rising rapidly as they steered to the NNE; the Pakling, steering N, had the barometer rising with the wind veering to NE and increasing; and the Wingsang, steering NNE, passed to the rear of the depression and had the barometer rising and the wind, of force 5 only, backing to SW in the after- noon and gradually to ESE the same night.

On the 14th pressure remained very high over N China and a further large increase had taken place on the S Coast. In Luzon the barometer had also risen considerably. Hongkong had 30.26, Hoihow 30.23, Bolinao 29.95, and Manila 30.00. Pressure was now above the normal, at Hong- kong 0.15 inch, and at Manila 0.10 inch. The centre of the depression seems to have passed N of the S.S. Polyphemus at 4 a. on this day. The vessel was then situated in 14° 29′ 113° 00'. A heavy W gale had been experienced up to midnight, but at 2 a. the wind dropped. At 4 a. (bar. 29.80 lowest reading) it began to increase again from SE but it only attained the force of a fresh breeze. In rear of the centre the winds were extremely feeble in this disturbance. At noon the centre was probably situated in 15° 15', 112° 00 In rear of the centre at a distance of about 75 miles the barometer read 29.80 and moderate to fresh breezes blew from SE, the weather being squally; in the W quadrant, or in front of the centre at a distance of about 100 miles, the barometer read 29.85 and fierce gales from N and NAW prevailed. The steamships Loosok, Frammes and Macduff ran to the southward and had the wind backing to the NW and W during the evening. The S.S. Holstein held on her course to the N and had the wind veering to the E. In the NE quadrant strong gales from NE prevailed at distances varying from 150 to 400 miles from the centre. The wind direction was not, however, controlled by the depression although the force was doubtless augmented by it.

Between the 13th and 14th the disturbance traversed a distance of about 150 miles, so that its rate of progression suddenly increased on the 13th.

   On the 15th there yet remains a trace of the depression. To the S of Hongkong in from 17° to 20° lat. strong breezes and moderate gales from E to NE prevailed with the barometer standing at about 30.10. The S.S. Holstein to the S of Hainan and in 17° 49', 110° 39′ had a moderate E gale with the barometer reading 29.96. On the Annam Coast near Cape Varella the steamships Framnes and Loosok had fresh decreasing W winds in the morning, backing to SW and S at night and becom- ing light. The barometer which read about 29.93 at noon was rising. The depression was probably central near the position 15 109 at noon, but it had apparently almost filled up.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

25th October, 1895.

SIR,-With reference to the Earl of Derby's Circular despatch of the 10th April, 1883, I have the honour to transmit to you, for information and publication in the Colony under your Government, copies of an Order of the Queen in Council of the 3rd of October, 1895, respecting the tonnage admeasurement of Ships belonging to the United States of America.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of

J. CHAMBERLAIN.

HONGKONG.

AT THE COURT AT BALMORAL, The 3rd day of October, 1895. PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Order in Council, dated the 30th July, 1868, made by Her Majesty in exercise

of the powers conferred upon Her by the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, Her Majesty was pleased to direct that the Merchant Ships of the United States of America the measurement whereof should after the 1st January, 1865, have been ascertained and denoted on the registers and other national papers of such ships, testified by the dates thereof, 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 Certificate of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships, after making therefrom the same deductions, in respect of crew space and engine room, as would, if such ships were British, be made from their gross tonnage under the laws relating to British Ships.

:

And whereas by another Order in Council, dated the 19th March, 1883, made in exercise of the aforesaid powers Her Majesty was pleased to direct as follows:-

1. As regards sailing ships, that Merchant Sailing Ships of the United States of America, the measurement whereof after the 5th August, 1882, has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers and 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 certificate of Registry of British sailing ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

2. As regards Steam Ships-that Merchant Ships belonging to the United States of America, which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof shall, after the said 5th day of August, 1882, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such steamships, testified by the dates thereof, shall 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 certificate of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships. Provided nevertheless that if the owner or master of any such American steamship desires the deduction for engine room in his ship to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the American Rule, the engine room shall be measured, and the deduction calculated according to the British rules.

   And whereas by Section 84 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, it is enacted that, whenever it appears to Her Majesty the Queen in Council, that the tonnage regulations of that Act have been adopted by any Foreign Country, and are in force there, Her Majesty in Council may order that the ships of that Country shall, without being remeasured in Her Majesty's dominions, be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of registry or other national papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship.

   And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty in Council that the tonnage regulations of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, have been adopted by the United States of America and such regulations are now in force there, having come into operation on the 1st day of April, 1895.

   And whereas there still are or may be ships belonging to the United States of America to which the hereinbefore recited Orders of the 30th July, 1868, and the 19th March, 1883, may respectively apply, and it is expedient not to revoke the same, but to let the said recited Orders remain in force so long as there are any ships to which the same may so respectively apply.

   And whereas the provisions of Section One of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, have been complied with.

   NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, in pursuance and exercise of the powers hereinbefore mentioned, is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council to direct that the Merchant ships of the United States of America the measurement whereof shall, after the 1st day of April, 1895, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such ships, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of Registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship.
