NOTICE TO MARINERS.

HONGKONG HARBOUR.

T. SERCOMBE SMITH,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

　　From the 16th January, 1899, until further notice (about 3 weeks), sunken obstructions will be laid to the North and South of Stone Cutters' Island.

　　The obstructed area to the North of Stone Cutters' Island will extend right across and will be within lines drawn from the most northern point of the island to the Watering Pier at Ly-che-kok, and from the Government Pier on the North shore near the Magazines in an N.N.E. direction to the mainland.

　　To the South of Stone Cutters' Island the southern limit of the obstructed area will be a line between two buoys carrying red flags and about 600 yards North of the fairway. Lines true North from these buoys to Stone Cutters' Island will give the eastern and western limits of the obstructed

area.

Vessels and junks are prohibited from anchoring in the obstructed areas.

For purposes of navigation the sunken obstructions may be considered as reducing the depth of water shown on the chart by eleven feet.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th January, 1899.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 32.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British Steamship Glenavon, Official No. 84,305 of Glasgow, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th January, 1899.

T. SERCOMBE SMITH,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

　　　　　We find that the British Steamship Glenavon, Official No. 84,305 of Glasgow, of which WILLIAM PITHIE was Master, the number of his Certificate being 07,101 issued at Aberdeen, left Hongkong on the 29th December, 1898, at about 5.23 p.m. bound for United Kingdom with a cargo of 3,300 tons.

　　　　　The ship appears to have been well found with one exception, namely, that there was only one Compass on the Bridge which was of necessity therefore used for all purposes, steering as well as bearings, though it does not appear that this contributed to the casualty.

She appears to have been properly and sufficiently manned and was in a good and seaworthy

condition.

That her draft of water on leaving was 20 feet forward and 22 feet aft.

That after passing Green Island Light at 5.54 p.m. a course was set S. 34° W. by Compass (or S. 30° W. true).

　　　　　That at about 6.34 p.m. the course was altered to S. 15° E. by Compass, there being no error on this course.

　　　　　That shortly after 7 p.m. the ship struck and sustained such severe damage that she foundered in about 50 minutes.

　　　　　That the crew and passengers were saved with the exception of the Chief Officer, WILLIAM DIXON; one Quarter-Master, WILLIAM SMITII; the Second Steward, FRANK WILSON; and one Chinese, CHEUNG IP, No. 3 Fireman.

　　　　　It appears from the evidence before the Court that the first course S. 34° W. was set by the Master as being a mid-channel course between Lamma and Chung Islands, and though this course in the opinion of the Court was not the best that could have been taken, it cannot be considered as an improper course.

From a position where the Eastern end of Chung Island would be abeam and 14 miles distant, it was the object of the Master to alter his course to S. 15° E. so as to pass 2 miles East of Ling Ting Island. Again this course in the opinion of the Court was not the best that could have been taken as it passed only 14 miles off the Northern Ling Ting rock, a distance which was little enough having in view a set of the flood tide to the Westward.

　　　　　The Master gave orders to the Third Officer to take a 4-point bearing of Chung Island and to let him know when it was abeam. The Court is of opinion that, in the darkness and owing to high land at the back, a reliable 4-point bearing was not taken, and that consequently an erroneous position was arrived at, making the S. 15° E. course an absolutely dangerous one, and that such an erroneous position was the principal cause of the casualty.

The Court is of opinion that the Master did not exercise proper care in fixing this position. It cannot consider that a general direction to a Junior Officer to take a 4-point bearing of an Island itself more than 2 miles long and which was to be passed at a distance of only 1 miles, indicates sufficiently careful and seamanlike navigation, though the Court believes that the Master's direction was carried out by the Third Officer to the best of his ability.

Further, it appears to the Court that it is at least probable that, there was a not inconsiderable lapse of time between the taking of the beam bearing of Chung Island and the alteration of the course to S. 15° E. and the ship continuing on the S. 34° W. course was continually making the S. 15° E. course more and more dangerous.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 32.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British Steamship Glenavon, Official No. 84,305 of Glasgow, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th January, 1899.

T. SERCOMBE SMITH,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

She appears to have been properly and sufficiently manned and was in a good and seaworthy

condition.

That her draft of water on leaving was 20 feet forward and 22 feet aft.

That after passing Green Island Light at 5.54 p.m. a course was set S. 34° W. by Compass (or S. 30° W. true).

　　　　　That at about 6.34 p.m. the course was altered to S. 15° E. by Compass, there being no error on this course.

　　　　　That shortly after 7 p.m. the ship struck and sustained such severe damage that she foundered in about 50 minutes.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JANUARY, 1899.

After the S. 15° E. course was set no steps were taken to fix the position and there is no other evidence before the Court until a few minutes before the casualty, the Chief Officer, who was in charge of the deck, and the Quarter-Master, who was at the wheel, having been most unfortunately drowned.

　　　After careful consideration of all the points which have come before it the Court is of opinion that the loss of the ship was caused by the wrongful act or default of the Master, in that the ship was not navigated with sufficient and seamanlike care, and it therefore directs that his certificate be suspended for a period of twelve months from the date of the casualty.

The Court is of opinion that the boats should have remained by the ship, as they were ordered, instead of making for Hongkong as they did, had they done this it is possible that they might have been able to save the four lives which were lost.

　　　The Court desires to place on record its high opinion of the conduct of the Master, Chief Officer, and others who stood by the ship to the last and exerted themselves to reduce as far as possible the consequences of the casualty.

Further, the Court also wishes to place on record their high appreciation of the conduct of the Second Engineer, Mr. ROBERT Born, who stood by his Captain in the ship and did his duty below alone to the very last.

The Master if he so desires may be granted a First Mate's Certificate. The Master's Certificate having been lost with the ship cannot be given up.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 13th day of January, 1899.

(1.) That it does not embody the arrangement which was made with the Bank in 1889 with regard to the security for its ordinary note issue, and

(2.) That it does not provide with sufficient clearness that the deposit which is required in respect of the excess note issue is to be under the custody of the Colonial Secretary and the Colonial Treasurer and Not under that of the Bank.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend Ordinance 8 of 1870.

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Public Buildings and Places Amendment Ordinance, 1899.

2. Section 4 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1870 is hereby amended by inserting after the words "as aforesaid" and before the words "to eject" the following words, namely

"to there and then, and without any warrant, summons, or other legal process, stop, seize, apprehend and detain any person committing a breach of any regulation. made under this Ordinance, and to take such person before a Police Magistrate to be dealt with according to law, or else

3. Section 5 of Ordinance 8 of 1870 is hereby amended by adding at the end of such section the following sentence, namely:--

any such person shall refuse to disclose his name, it shall and may be lawful to proceed against him summarily by a description of his person and the offence only, without adding any name or desigua- tion, but in such case the Police Magistrate shall mention in the deposition that the defendant refused to disclose his name."

Objects and Reasons.

The object of the amendment to Ordinance 8 of 1870 which is contained in section 2 of this Ordinance is to con- fer power upon a constable, custodian, watchman, or keeper to arrest and detain on the spot without any warrant, sum- mons, or other legal process, any person found committing a breach of any regulation made under Ordinance 8 of 1870.

The object of the amendment contained in section 3 of this Ordinance which is founded upon a portion of section 78 of the English Highways Act, 1835, is to remove any doubts as to the way in which a Magistrate ought to deal with a person who obstinately refuses to give his name and address.

by the Governor as a place of popular resort and of anti- quarian interest: Provided, nevertheless, that if at any time hereafter it appears to the Governor that it is necessary, in the interests either of the Imperial Government or of the Government of this Colony, that such land should be re- appropriated either wholly or in part, it shall be lawful for the Governor to re-appropriate such land or any part thereof and to use the re-appropriated land or allow it to be used for other purposes than those above mentioned.

4. If any person injures or defaces any ancient monu- Penalty for ment, rock, memorial, or inscription, which is on or upon any land reserved or appropriated under this Ordinance as a place of popular resort and of antiquarian interest, then such person shall, on summary conviction before a Police Magistrate, be liable at the discretion of such Magistrate to one of the following penalties, (that is to say),-

(1.) To pay a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, and in addition thereto to pay such sums as the Magistrate may think just for the purpose of repairing any damage which has been caused by the offender; or (2.) To be imprisoned with or without hard labour for

any term not exceeding one month.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to preserve an interesting an- cient rock-inscription which is believed to date back to the Sung Dynasty.

Dr. EITEL in the "History of Hongkong" (at pages 129 and 130) makes the following allusion to the inscription in question:-

"As to the history of Hongkong previous to the rise of the Tatsing Dynasty (A.D. 1644) very little is known. There is, however, on the Kowloon peninsula, and within British territory, an ancient rock-inscription, on a large loose lying granite boulder, which crowns the summit of a. circular hill, jutting out into the sea, close to the village of Matauchung, directly west of Kowloon city. This in- scription, consisting of three Chinese characters (Sung Wong Tong lit. "Hall of a King of the Sung") arranged horizontally, was originally cut about half an inch deep in the northern face of the boulder. he Chinese Govern- ment believe it to be a genuine inscription, about 600 years old. The original characters, having become nearly effaced in course of time, were renewed at the beginning of the present century (1807) by order of the Viceroy of Canton, the date of this restoration being recorded by a separate inscription the characters of which are arranged perpendi- cularly. The memories attaching to this inscription and to the whole hill, which still shows the outlines of the original entrenchments, are so sacred in the eyes of Chinese officials and literati, that excavations and quarrying were prohibited in that locality under the severest penalties. When the peninsula was leased and subsequently ceded to the British Crown, the Chinese Government specially stipulated that the rock-inscription and the whole hill should remain untouched. Nevertheless, quarrying has occasionally been attempted there since the locality came into British pos-

session.

Chinese history states that, when the Sung Dynasty was overturned by the invasion of the Mongols under Kublai Khan, who subsequently seated himself on the throne of China (A.D. 1280), the last Emperor of the Sung Dynasty, then a young child, was driven with the Imperial Court to the south of China and finally compelled

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1899.

to take refuge on board ship, when he continued his flight, accompained by a small fleet. Coasting along from Foo- chow, past Amoy and Swatow, he passed (about 1278 A.D.) through the Ly-ee-moon into the waters of Hong- kong. After a short stay on Kowloon peninsula, he sailed westwards until he reached Ngaishan, at the mouth of the West River (south-west of Macao). But meanwhile the Mongols had taken possession of Canton and hastily or- ganized a fleet with which they hemmed in the Imperial flotilla on all sides. The Prime Minister (LUK SAU FU), seeing all was lost, took the youthful Emperor on his back, jumped into the sea (A.D. 1279) and perished together

with him.

Within a few months previous to this event, the Impe- rial Court had rested for a while in the little bay of Kowloon, called Matanchung. Tradition says that Kow- loon city and the present hamlets of Matauchung and Matauwai were not in existence at the time, and that the Imperial troops were encamped for a time on the hill now marked by the inscription, whilst the Court were lodged in a roughly-constructed wooden palace erected at a short distance from the beach. on the other side of Manchung creek, at a place now marked by a temple. There, it is said, the last Emperor of the Sung resided for a while, on ground now British and in sight of Hongkong, waiting for news from Canton concerning the movements of the Mongols, and hoping in vain to receive succour from that treacherous city."

1893.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend The Dogs Ordinance, 1893.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Dogs Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1899.

2. Section 5 of Ordinance 9 of 1893 is hereby amended as follows:-

(1.) By striking out the words, "under penalties not

exceeding ten dollars."

(2.) By inserting between the words, "dogs may be," and the words, "kept in this Colony," the following words, namely, "imported into or ;" and also (3.) By substituting in place of the words, "kept or allowed to go abroad, otherwise," the following words, namely, "which may be imported, kept, or allowed to go abroad, otherwise."

3. Section 6 of Ordinance 9 of 1893 is hereby amended by substituting in place of the words "by a fine not exceed- ing ten dollars and with imprisonment in default of pay- ment," the following words, namely, "with a fine not exceed- ing one hundred dollars and in default of payment thereof with imprisonment for a term not exceeding six mouths, with or without hard labour."

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to enlarge the power to make regulations, which was originally conferred upon the Govern- or-in-Council by section 5 of Ordinance 9 of 1893, in such a way as to authorize the Governor-in-Council to make regulations relating to the importation of dogs.

It seemed advisable at the same time to increase the maximum penalty which could be imposed under section 6 of that Ordinance from ten to one hundred dollars, which latter fine is the maximum laid down in the Singapore and Malacca Dog Regulations. It seemed also desirable to specify a maximum term of imprisonment in default of payment of the fine.

Nothing in this Ordinance shall give validity to any disposition, contract, settlement, conveyance, delivery, deal- ing, or transfer which may be void or invalid against a trustee or creditor in bankruptcy, arrangement, or composition, under the provisions of the laws for the time being in force relating to bankruptcy.

13. Where a solicitor has made an agreement with his client in pursuance of the provisions of this Ordinance, and any thing has been done by such solicitor under the agree- ment, and before the agreement has been completely per- formed by him such solicitor dies or becomes incapable to- act, an application may be made to the Court by any party to the agreement or by the representative of any such party, and the Court shall thereupon have the same power to enforce or set aside such agreement, so far as the same may have been acted upon, as if such death or incapacity had not happened; and the Court, if it shall deem the agreement to be in all respects fair and reasonable, may order the amount due in respect of the past performance of the agree- ment to be ascertained by taxation; and the taxing officer in ascertaining such amount shall have regard, so far as may be, to the terms of the agreement, and payment of the amount found to be due may be enforced in the same man- ner as if the agreement had been completely performed by the solicitor.

14. If, after any such agreement as aforesaid has been made, the client changes his solicitor before the conclusion of the business to which such agreement relates (which he shall be at liberty to do notwithstanding such agreement), the solicitor, party to such agreement, shall be deemed to have become incapable to act under the same within the meaning of the last preceding section; and, upon any order being made for taxation of the amount due to such solicitor in respect of the past performance of such agreement, the Court shall direct the taxing officer to have regard to the circumstances under which such change of solicitor has taken place; and, upon such taxation, the solicitor shall not be deemed entitled to the full amount of the remunera- tion agreed to be paid to him, unless it appears that there has been no default, negligence, improper delay, or other conduct on his part affording reasonable ground to the client for such change of solicitor.

15. Except as in this Ordinance provided, the bill of a solicitor for the amount due under an agreement made in pursuance of the provisions of this Ordinance shall not be subject to any taxation, nor to the provisions of the English Act of Parliament 6 and 7 Vict. c. 73 (so far as such pro- visions have been extended to this Colony) nor of section 18 of this Ordinance respecting the signing and delivery of the bill of a solicitor.

16. A solicitor may take security from his client for his future costs to be ascertained by taxation or otherwise.

17. Whenever any decree or order has been made for payment of costs in any suit and such suit afterwards becomes abated, it shall be lawful for any person interested under such decree or order to revive such suit, and there- upon to pro-cute and enforce such decree or order, and so on from time to time as often as any such abatement shall Luppen.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1899.

Objects and Reasons.

The first twenty sections of this Bill, as will be seen from the marginal notes to them, correspond with the provisions of certain Acts of Parliament, relating to solici- tor's costs, which are now in force in England but have not hitherto been extended to Hongkong.

Section 21 of the Bill is borrowed from a similar provision contained in the Straits Settlements Ordinances, and in the Statutes of some of the Australian Colonies, and its object is to prevent a solicitor, who has only newly arrived in the Colony and about whose antecedents and character nothing is known, from setting up in practice on his own account.

Section 22 provides for the payment by solicitors of a moderate fee on admission.

SIR--In my Circular despatch of the 19th of August last, I referred to an intended investigation. of Malaria.

A Commission has now been appointed for the purpose and is about to proceed to Africa. The Commissioners will report, from time to time, to a Committee appointed jointly by the Royal Society and myself, who will exercise a general supervision over the enquiry.

　　　　　It has been suggested by this Committee, that, in view of the possible connection of Malaria with mosquitoes, it is desirable to obtain exact kuowledge of the different species of mosquitoes and allied insects in the various tropical Colonies. I will therefore ask you, if there are facilities for the purpose, to be good enough to take the necessary steps at your early convenience to have collections inade of the winged insects in the Colony which bite inen or animals.

　　　　　I enclose a printed copy of directions which have been drawn up by the British Museum for the guidance of those who may be employed on the work, and would add that several specimens of each kind of insect should be obtained and that they should be sent direct to the British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Roal, London, S.W., to be examined and classified. A first series of the speci- mens will be retained by the Museum, whilst the duplicates will be available for distribution as may be desired.

　　　　　As the question of the scientific investigation of Malaria is one to which I attach great importance, I trust that every effort will be made to carry out as speedily and as thoroughly as possible the directions contained in this despatch.

Entomological forceps (two pairs), with curved ends, for holding pins.

-89

One ounce No. 20 entomological pins (D. F. Tayler and Co., New Hall Works, Birmingham. These pins are sold in boxes at 7s. 6d. per ounce, and as the pins are exceedingly fine, an ounce will go a very long way).

Common pins (three or four packets).

Gun-wad punch, No. 20 bore.

Cards (2-sheet Bristol Board) from which to punch discs; a supply of the latter should be prepared ready for use.

Needles (two or three) mounted in handles, for arranging legs and wings.

A Platyscopic Lens :-this is indispensable.

Cork-carpet or pith-one or two sheets about 6 in. square, on which to perform the operations of pinning, etc.

A strongly-made wooden box ( a cigar-box will do), in the bottom of which is fixed a layer of cork-carpet or pith (if the latter is used it should be not less than half an inch thick).

IMPORTANCE OF SENDING HOME SPECIMENS FOR DETERMINATION

IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.

It should be borne in mind that, for the purpose of the scientific determination of species, mosquitoes cannot be collected with too great care. As important specific characters are furnished by the wings and legs, it is of the utmost consequence that these should not be denuded of their scales, or otherwise injured; unless attention is paid to this point the specimens will probably be quite worthless for determination.

SPIRIT NOT TO BE USED.

Specimens for determination must on no account be placed in spirit.

SPECIMENS TO BE PINNED IMMEDIATELY THEY ARE DEAD.

　　　　　Mosquitoes should in all cases be pinned, and that as soon as possible after death; duplicate specimens for dissection can, of course, be preserved in spirit, but if this is done care must be taken, by the use of corresponding labels or numbers, to prevent confusion between species.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS OF EACH SPECIES REQUIRED.

In collecting specimens of a species of mosquito for determination some half dozen examples of each sex should, if possible, always be obtained.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE Sexes.

　　　　　'The harmless tnale mosquitoes can be distinguished from the females (which alone bite and suck blood) by the possession of plumose antenna and palpi, forming tufts in front of the head; in the females the antenna, though long, are nearly bare (having whorls of only short hair at the bases of the joints), while the palpi in the case of females of the typical genus Culex, to which the majority of the described species belong, are quite short.

METHOD OF COLLECTING AND KILLING.

　　　　　For capturing mosquitoes in the open an entomologist's collecting net is necessary, from which the insects can be transferred to glass-bottomed pill-boxes; in doing this great care must be taken not to pull off the legs; inside buildings it is possible, with care, to capture mosquitoes on walls an1 win- dows in the pill-boxes themselves. In any case mosquitoes should be collected alive in the glass- bottomed pill-boxes*; if care is taken, several specimens can be got into one pill-box. To kill the mosquitoes the box is opened a fraction of an inch on one side, and placed for a few minutes in a cyanide killing-jar,? which must, of course, be closed. As soon as the insects are quite deal (if the mixture in the jar is of reasonable strength from three to five minutes is sufficient, and mosquitoes should not be allowed to remain exposed to the effects of the cyanide longer than this) they should be turned out on to a sheet of cork-carpet or pith; they should be touched as little as possible, the mani- pulations necessary in arranging the wings and legs being performed with a needle.

　　　　　　　* These boxes can be obtained from any dealer in natural history apparatus, but care should be taken to see that the bottoms-and not the tops, as is often the case--are made of glass. Since the boxes are constructed of cardboard, they are liable in tropical countries to go to pieces in the rains, and to prevent this they should be covered with glazed jaconet (stuck on with liquid glue) and then coated with Aspinall's enamel.

　　　　　　　? A cyanide killing-bottle can be procured ready for use from Hinton and Co., Bedford Street, London, W.C., or any other chemist will prepare one to order, but when mosquitoes (or indeed any Diptera) are collected in the manner here advised it is preferable to make a large- sized killing-jar for oneself as follows :-Take any fairly large glass jar (such as a pickle-bottle) with a wide mouth and closely fitting lid, and cover the bottom with a layer of dry plaster of Paris to the depth of half an inch; pour in above this a layer equal in depth consisting of powdered cyanide of potassium, mixed with rather more than its bulk of dry plaster of Paris; cover this mixture with a layer of dry plaster of Paris to the depth of a quarter of an inch or so, and pour in above the whole a layer, half an inch in depth, consisting of plaster of Paris mixed with water to the consistency of cream. As soon as the top layer of plaster is dry the jar is ready for use. To obviate the risk of cracking the

　　　　　jar owing to the heat evolved when plaster of Paris is mixed with water, it may be advisable to stand the jar in warm water before adding the final layer. The exact amount of cyanide of potassium to be used is of no great consequence, but in the case of a properly prepared jar the odour should be readily perceptible on removing the lid; if it is not, the reason may be that the mixture is too dry, when a little water poured on to the top layer will probably set matters right. After some months' use the cyanide loses its efficacy (to obviate this so far as possible the jar should never be allowed to remain open), and the mixture must then be renewed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1899.

TO PIN A MOSQUITO.

Take a card disc and write on it all the data connected with the specimen to be pinned, as follows:-(1) Name of locality, including altitude if necessary; (2) date-day, month, year-thus, 9. 11. 98; (3) collector's name; (4) any remarks of interest, e.g., "Most troublesome species in district"; "Abundant in bamboo-jungle" "Uncommon," etc. Place the disc on a sheet of cork-carpet or pith, and picking up with the entomological forceps one of the fine No. 20 pins, thrust about one-third of an inch of it through the centre of the disc; in doing this the pin should be held by the forceps below the middle, otherwise, owing to its fineness, it may bend and fail to pass through the card. Lay the specimen on its back (turning it over with the aid of a needle or one of the No. 20 pins held in the forceps), and thrust the pin, which now carries the disc, through the centre of the thorax, between the bases of the legs, until the tip of the pin projects one-sixth of an inch beyond the dorsal surface of the thorax ;* invert the disc (the specimen will then be right side up), and thrust an ordinary pin through the dis near the margin for the purpose of carrying both disc and specimen. The next and last thing to be done is to arrange the legs and wings as far as possible; i.e., the wings must be made to project at an angle from the body, and not allowed to remain closed, and the legs must be disposed symmetrically on the card disc so that all parts of them can be readily seen, instead of being left crumpled up beneath the body. These operations must be performed as gently as possible with the help of a needle mounted in a handle, or by the aid of a No. 20 pin held in the forceps, and care must be taken that hairs and scales are not rubbed off in the process. As the tissues contract in drying, the legs and wings are very apt to get pulled out of place, and, to correct these changes, the specimens should be examined once or twice during the next day or two after being pinned.

TRANSMISSION OF SPECIMENS TO ENGLAND.

Pinned specimens of mosquitoes, like those of other insects, rapidly develop mould during the rainy season in tropical countries, and since mouldy specimens are practically worthless for purposes of scientific determination, the insects should be sent home as soon as possible after being collected. To contain the specimens, if a proper entomological store-box is not available, any small strongly-made box (such as a cigar-box) will serve, in the bottom of which a layer of cork-carpet or pith (not less than half an inch thick, in the case of the latter) is firmly fixed. The greatest cure must be taken to prevent specimens getting loose and rolling about in transit, since in this way a single loose disc might easily destroy or hopelessly damage all the other specimens in the box. To prevent this the pins supporting the cards should be inserted as tightly as possible into the cork-carpet or pith, and does they should all be driven in to the same level; if this is done a sheet of soft

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　paper (newspaper very well) can be feed into the box, resting on the heads of the supporting pins, in order to minimise the damage should a disc happen to get loose. The box containing the specimens should be well- wrapped in cotton-wool, or similar material, and firmly packed in an outer box for transmission (by Parcel Post) to England.

N.B. NOT ONLY MOSQUITOES, BUT ALL DIPTERA SHOULD BE COLLECTED, PREPARED, AND SENT HOME

IN THE MANNER ABOVE DESCRIBED.

The above instructions, though drawn up with special reference to mosquitoes, are equally applicable to the collecting of Diptera in general, except that in the case of the large forms, such as horse-flies (Tabanida), robber-flies (Asilida), etc., it is not necessary to, use so fine a pin as a No. 20 (D. F. Tayler and Co.'s entomological pin No. 5-price 1s. 6d. per ounce--would do instead).

ADDRESS FOR SPECIMENS.

Specimens of mosquitoes (or other Diptera) intended for the British Museum should be directed to

THE BRITISH MUSEUM

(NATURAL HISTORY),

CROMWELL ROAD,

All communications on the subject should be addressed to the Director.

LONDON, S.W.

*Should it be found impracticable to proceed in the manner here prescribed, owing to the difficulty of making the specimen lie in the required position on its back, it may be pinned in the ordinary way through the middle of the thorax from the dorsal side; in this case, however, the specimen must be pinned first (i... before it is mounted on the card dise); it should be drawn two-thirds of the way up the pin, and the latter should then be thrust through the flise, holding the pin with the forceps below the specimen; mount the dise on a common pin, as in the first method,

SIGNAL STATIONS,

HONGKONG.

VICTORIA PEAK, and BLACKHEAD'S HILL.

The Commercial Code of Signals will be used at the Sigual Stations.

All Signals made by vessels in the "Offing" will be repeated at Victoria Peak, arrangements can also be made to have them forwarded to the addressee by telephone from the Harbour Master's Office. Signals can also be passed between vessels in the "Offing," and any one prepared to take them. in, on the harbour side, and vice versa. The "attention" flag for these signals (to be hoisted at the mast head of the ship and of the Station flagstaff) is the White Ensign in the case of Men-of-war, and the Red Ensign over the House Flag in the case of Merchant Vessels.

　　　　Vessels approaching the Eastern entrance to the Harbour will be signalled on the Eastern Yard- arm, those approaching the Western entrance on the Western Yard-arm.

　　　　When a vessel is sighted from Victoria Peak Station, the Compass bearing and symbol at the Yard-arm, and the Distance Signal at the Mast head, will be hoisted. If, when the vessel is made out, she is not a Mail steamer, her House Flag will be substituted for the Compass Signal, and it will be kept flying till she anchors. The Distance Signal will be kept up for fifteen minutes after the vessel is made out.

‧

　　　　If the vessel is a regular Mail Steamer, a gun will be fired, and a Ball over the English, French, American, or German Ensign, or the Canadian Pacific House Flag, with, the Distance signal under, will be hoisted at the Mast head, and the Compass signal and symbol will be hauled down. The Distance signal will be kept flying, and will be changed each successive half hour. When the vessel is between Green Island and North Point, the Code l'endant will take the place of the Distance Signal, and will be kept up till the vessel is at her moorings.

　　　　At Blackhead's Hill Station, signals similar to the foregoing will be hoisted to denote vessels passing Cape D'Aguilar and the Gap Rock.

　　　　All House Flags, symbols, and distance signals, hoisted at Victoria Peak, will be repeated at Blackhead's Hill, and vice versa.

When a mail steamer is reported by telegraph from the Gap Rock or Cape D'Aguilar, the dis- tinguishing signal will be hoisted at once, the gun will be fired, and the distance symbol hoisted, when she is sighted from Victoria Peak Station.

Any special flag hoisted on board an incoming vessel, denoting the presence on board of an Officer of high rank, will be repeated at the Flag Staff Mast head.

　　　　The approach of Men-of-war will be notified by their proper symbols and National Colours at the Quarter of the Yard.

　　　　The Distance signal will denote the distance (estimated at Victoria Peak) of the vessel from Green Island on the West and Cape D'Aguilar on the East.

But every such rule or repeal or alteration of a rule may be disallowed by Her Majesty, and shall thereupon cease to have effect from the date of the publication of such disallowance in the Government Gazette. Until rules shall have been made under this section the rules and regulations for the govern- ment of Victoria Gaol in force at the commencement of this Ordinance shall remain in force so far as they are not inconsistent with anything contained in' this Ordinance.

20. The Governor shall from time to time appoint, with their consent, Justices of the Peace to be Visiting Justices for periods to be specified in such appointments.

Visiting Justices shall, during the period for which they are appointed, from time to time at frequent intervals visit all prisons, and hear any complaints which may be made to them by the prisoners, and shall report on any abuses within the prisons, or any repairs that may be required, and shall further take cognisance of any matters of pressing necessity and within the powers of their Commission as Justices, and do such acts and perform such duties in rela- tion to prisons as they may be required to do or perform by the Governor, but subject to the regulations with respect to the duties of Visiting Justices to be made by the Governor in Executive Council under this Ordinance.

Provided nevertheless that the provisions of this section shall not apply to any sum of money which is ordered to be awarded to any person aggrieved by way of compensa- tion or amends for any injury, damage, or loss to his per- son or property.

22. Ordinances 18 of 1885, 13 of 1889, 15 of 1896 and 4 of 1898 are hereby repealed, but such repeal shall not in any way affect any act, matter, or thing duly done under such repealed Ordinances or any of them.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to consolidate and amend the Prison Ordinances, 1885 to 1898, which are four in number.

The following are the amendments in the old law which have been introduced by the present Ordinance :-

(1.) Section 8 of the present Ordinance differs from sec- tion 7 of the Prisons Ordinance of 1885 in the omission of the word "warmed" which used to come between the word "lighted" and the word "ventilated."

The reason for the omission of the word "warmed" is that cells here are not as a matter of fact warmed at all.

(2.) Section 9 of the present Ordinance differs from section 8 of the Prisons Ordinance of 1885 in the follow- ing main respects :-

(i) By abolishing the rigid classification of hard labour into two classes which was laid down by the old Ordinance and which was found unworkable in practice and in leaving such classification to be prescribed by the Prison Rules and Regulations. (ii) The language of the old section as to the employ- ment of prisoners outside of the walls has been modified in accordance with the recommendation of the Captain Superintendent of Police.

(3.) Section 11 of the present Ordinance differs from section 10 of the Prisons Ordinance of 1885, in that the words "who escapes or attempts to escape from any prison or are now added.

The object of this amendment is to prevent difficulties from arising in the prosecution of prisoners who are caught while attempting to escape and who have not committed anything which could be described as a "breach" of prison.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH FEBRUARY, 1899. 107

(4.) Section 12 of this Bill differs from section 11 of the old Ordinance in giving power to impose imprisonment either with or without hard labour, and in altering the penalty of ￡20 sterling into a penalty of $200. There are also one or two slight verbal alterations.

(5.) By section 13 the former penalty of ￡10 has been converted into $100.

(6.) In adapting section 18 from the provisions of Ordinance 13 of 1889 as affected by section 2 of Ordinance 15 of 1896 it has been thought expedient to leave out the following words which were contained in Ordinance 13 of 1889, namely, "who is guilty of any neglect or violation of duty in his office, or of any disobedience to any rules made. under the provisions of section 17 of Ordinance 18 of 1885."

The reason for leaving out these words is that special provisions for dealing with the offences contained in the omitted words are contained in the new draft Prison Rules.

(7.) Section 19 of the Bill consists of an adaptation of section 17 of the Prisons Ordinance of 1885 with certain additions which are intended to remove doubts as to whether the rules, which it is proposed to bring into force directly this Ordinance is passed, will be ultra vires or not. The second sentence of this section is new and is intended to confer full power upon the Governor-in-Council to impose by the rules any punishment which he may think fit for a breach of any of the rules.

(8.) The provision contained in section 21 of the Bill is new so far as this Colony is concerned, but is adapted from the provisions of section 9 of a Statute which was passed in the last session of the Imperial Parliament (61 and 62 Vic. c. 41). The proviso, however, at the end of the section is original and does not correspond with anything contained in the Home Act. Such a proviso, however, appears to be just, and its insertion was recommended by the Acting "Police Magistrate.

(f) When ships are divided into efficient water-tight compart- ments, so that with any two of them in free communication with the sea, the ship will remain afloat in moderate weather, they shall only be required to carry additional boats or life- rafts of one-half of the capacity required by para. (b.) of these rules. (g.) In addition to the life-saving appliances before mentioned, ships of this class shall carry not less than one approved life- buoy, (rule 1 (a.) or 11 (b.) of general rules), for every boat placed under davits. They shall also carry approved life-belts, (rule 10), or other similar approved articles of equal buoyancy suitable for being worn on the person so that thore may be at least one for each person on board the ship: Provided that no ship of this class shall be required to carry more boats or rafts than will furnish sufficient accommodation for all persons on board.

(d.) At least one approved life buoy [rule 11 (a.) or 11 (b.) of general rules] shall also be provided for each boat of wood or metal carried by the ship, but in no case shall less than six approved life-buoys be provided.

General Rules. (1.)-Boats.

Note. All boats shall be properly constructed and equipped as provided by these rules, and all boats and other life- saving appliances are to be kept ready for use to the satisfaction of the Government Marine Surveyor.

Section (A.)-A boat of this section shall be a life-boat properly constructed of wood or metal having, for every ten cubic feet of her capacity computed as in rule 2, at least one and a half cubic feet of strong and serviceable enclosed air-tight compartments, such that water cannot find its way into them. Section (B.)-A boat of this section shall be a life-boat properly constructed of wood or metal baving inside and outside buoyancy apparatus together equal in effi ciency to the buoyancy apparatus provided for a boat of section A. At least one half of the buoy- ancy apparatus must be attached to the outside of the boat.

Section (C.)-A boat of this section shall be a life-boat properly constructed of wood or metal having some buoyancy apparatus attached to the inside and/or outside of the boat equal in efficiency to one half the buoyancy apparatus provided for a bout of section A or sec- tion B. At least one half of the buoyancy apparatus must be attached to the outside of the boat. Section (D.)-A boat of this section shall be a properly constructed

boat of wood or metal.

(2.)-Cubic Capacity.

Measure the length and breadth outside and the depth inside mul- tiply them together and by 6; the product is the capacity of the boat in cubic feet. Thus a boat 28 feet long, 8 feet 6 inches broad and 3 feet 6 inches deep'will be regarded as having' a capacity of 28 × 8:3 X 8·5 X 6. = 499·8 or 500 cubic feet. If the oars are pulled in row- locks, the bottom of the rowlock is to be considered the gunwale of the boat for ascertaining her depth.

(3.)-- Number of persons for boats of Section A. The number of persons a boat of section 4 shall be deemed fit to carry shall be the number of cubic feet (ascertained as in rule 2), divided by 10. The number of persons a boat of sections B, C, or D shall be deemed fit to carry shall be the number of cubic feet, (ascertained as in rule 2), divided by 8. The space in the boat shall be sufficient for the seating of the persons carried in it and for the proper use of the cars.

(4.)-Appliances for lowering Boats. Appliances for getting a boat into the water must fulfil the follow- ing conditions:-Means are to be provided for speedily detaching the boats from the lower blocks of the davit tackles: the boats placed under davits are to be attached to the davit tackles and kept ready for service, the davits are to be strong enough and so spaced that the boats can be swung out with facility; the points of attachment of the boats to the davits are to be sufficiently away from the ends of the boats to ensure their being easily swung clear of the davits; the boats chocks are to be such as can be expeditiously removed; the davits, falls, blocks, eye bolts, rings, and the whole of the tackling are to be of sufficient strength; the boats falls are to be long enough to lower the boat into the water with safety when the vessel is light; the life lines fitted to the davits are to be long enough to reach the water when the vessel is light; and hooks are not to be attached to the lower tackle blocks.

(5.)-Equipments for boats and for life-rafts.

In order to be properly equipped each boat shall be provided as follows:-

(.) With the full (single banked) complement of oars, and two

spare cars.

182

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1899.

(b.) With two plugs for each plug hole attached with lanyards or chains, and one set and a half of thole pins or crutches attached to the boat by sound lanyards.

(c.) With a sea anchor, a baler, a rudder and tiller or yoke and yoke lines, a painter of sufficient length and a boat hook. The rudder and baler to be kept attached to the boat by sufficiently long lanyards and kept ready for use.

(d) A vessel to be kept filled with fresh water shall be provided

for each boat.

(e.) Life-rafts shall be fully provided with a suitable equipment. (6.)-Additional Equipments for boats of sections A and B.

(f) With a lantern trimmed with oil in its receiver sufficient to

burn eight hours.

(7.)-Number of Persons for Life-rafts.

The number of persons that any approved life-raft for use at sea shall be deemed to be capable of carrying shall be determined with reference to each separate pattern approved by the Government Marine Surveyor:

Provided always that for every person so carried there shall be at least 3 cubic feet of strong and serviceable enclosed air-tight com- partments such that water cannot find its way into them. Any ap proved life-raft of other construction may be used provided that it has equivalent buoyancy to that hereinbefore described. Every such approved life-raft shall be marked in such a way as to plainly indi- cate the number of adult persons it can carry.

(8.)-Buoyant Apparatus.

Approved buoyant apparatus shall be deemed sufficient for a num- ber of persons to be ascertained by dividing the number of pounds of iron which it is capable of supporting in fresh water by 32. Such buoyant apparatus shall not require to be inflated before use, shall be of approved construction and marked in such a way as plainly to indicate the number of persons for whom it is sufficient.

(9.)-Life-belts.

Objects and Reasons.

The principal reason for the Ordinance is-

To bring our law which is based on Imperial law into line with the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894.

Advantage has been taken to adopt certain amendments which the working of the present Ordinance and the requirements of the Port seemed to make necessary also to re-arrange the sections on the lines of the Imperial Act for convenience and uniformity. Interpretation clause.-The terms "Vessel," "Junk,' and "Lorcha" have been added. "The Waters of the Colony" has been amended to meet the possible requirements of the extended territory. "Local Trade Limits" and "Harbour Limits" have been slightly amended.

Section 3,-which provides for the issue of Colonial Registers, has been amplified, in view of the possible requirements of the inland- waters trade with China. Sub-section 11 of this section is new and has been intro- duced for the purpose of making the mas- ter of the ship amenable to British law. Section 4--is principally a re-arrangement of sections 15 and part of 16 with amendments in (2), (3), (4) and (7) and additional provisions providing for the issue of duplicate certi- ficates in case of loss, the production of certificates when shipping, and the punish- ment of forgery when detected.

Section --is a re-arrangement of sections 16 and 22 with a small addition from Merchant Ship- ping Act respecting Agreements and a more clear provision against the promis cuous discharge of seamen who may sub- sequently become chargeable to the Colony. Section 6---is the old section 17 amended in sub-section (1) so as not to apply in the case of Chi-

nese seamen.

Section 7--is the old section 23.

Section 8--is a re-arrangement from sections 18, 19 and 21, with slight additions chiefly from the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894.

Section 9-is the old section 20 brought into line with the Merchant Shipping Act with regard to offences against discipline, and amend- ments with reference to its application to seamen from Foreign ships.

Section 10--

--is a re-arrangement of sections 5 and 14 of the old Ordinance. The wording is made more clear while the gist remains.

Section 11-is a portion of the old section 5.

Section 12--is section 6 with some amendments which

have been found necessary.

Section 13--is the old section 4 with verbal alterations on

lines of Merchant Shipping Act.

Section 14-is the old section 40 but enters more into detail; it also exempts certain classes of vessels from its provisions and follows the Imperial Act.

cases.

55.-(1.)

(3.) The trial in either of these cases may then proceed in all respects as if the indictment or count had been origin- ally framed as amended: Provided that, if the Court is of opinion that the accused person has been misled or pre- judiced in his defence by any such variance, or omission, or defective statement as aforesaid, but that the effect of such misleading or prejudice might be removed by adjourn - ing or postponing the trial, the Court may, in its discretion, make the amendment and adjourn the trial to a future day, or discharge the jury and postpone the trial, on such terms as it may think just.

(4.) In determining whether the accused person has been misled or prejudiced in his defence or not, the Court shall consider the contents of the depositions, as well as the other circumstances of the case.

Objects and Reasons.

The procedure of the superior courts in England in rela- tion to indictable offences which was originally part of the common law has, in the course of the present century, been largely modified by statutory enactments. The principal of these enactments of general operation which are now in force are as follows:-

7 Geo. 4, c. 64.

7 and 8 Geo. 4, c. 28.

9 and 10 Vict. c. 24. 11 and 12 Viet. c. 46.

14 and 15 Viet. c. 19. 14 and 15 Vict. e. 100. 30 and 31 Vict. c. 35.

46 and 47 Vict. c. 38.

50 and 51 Vict. c. 25.

2. By the operation of section 7 of the Supreme Court No. 12 of 1873 Ordinance, 1873, which declares that such of the laws of England as existed when the Colony obtained a local legis- lature, that is to say, on the 5th day of April, 1843, shall be in force in the Colony, except so far as they are inapplicable to local circumstances, the first two of the above-mentioned Acts have effect in the Courts of the Colony. The greater num- ber of the provisions of the remaining Acts have been adopted by the local legislature by means of the Ordinances mentioned in the Second Schedule to the Bill and especially Ordinances Nos. 3 of 1865, 2 of 1869, and 5 of 1872.

3. It will be seen from an examination of the Schedule just referred to that the local law of criminal procedure is scattered over a considerable number of Ordinances, and it has been thought that it would be convenient to those con- cerned in the administration of this branch of the law that these Ordinances should be consolidated, with such amend- ments as may be deemed requisite, and that advantage should at the same time be taken of the opportunity to introduce any Imperial enactments which, although applic-

220

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1899.

No. 12 of 1878.

able to the circumstances of the Colony, have, not yet found a place on its statute book. In short, the object aimed at has been to present a complete body of statute law on this important subject, whether the provisions of that law are operative by virtue of the euactment referred to in para. 2, or have been expressly enacted in the Colony, or are drawn from new sources.

4. In carrying out this design, the provisions of the local Ordinances have been reproduced with, for the most part, only immaterial verbal changes, and the same may also be said of the Imperial enactments which have been embodied.

5. Those parts of the Bill which are not to be found in local Ordinances or in express terms in Imperial Acts are principally drawn from an Ordinance passed in 1891 by the legislature of British Guiana and shortly entitled the In- dictable Offences (Procedure) Ordinance, 1891. This Ordinance was only passed into law after the Bill on which it was founded had undergone much consideration at the hands of Judges, Magistrates, and others concerned in its future administration, and it was approved of by the Secretary of State without amendment. Besides incorporating the ex- press provisions of existing English or local statute law on the subject of criminal procedure, this Ordinance contained var- ious enactments taken from the Criminal Code (Indictable Offences) Bill which passed a second reading in the House of Commons in the session of 1878, and was afterwards referred to and settled by a Royal Commission composed of Lord BLACKBURN, Mr. Justice LUSH, Mr. Justice BARRY, and Mr. Justice STEPHEN. Unfortunately, Parliament has not found the time, or perhaps the inclination, to pass the measure, or one of a similar kind, into law.

6. It does not seem necessary to refer in detail to more than a few of the provisions of the Bill.

7. Clause 6 is intended to assign the duty of bringing prisoners before the Court for trial and the responsibility for their custody to the Keeper of the Prison in which they are confined. At present it seems difficult to ascertain to whom this duty and responsibility attach.

8. Clauses 7 and 9 are intended to regulate the delivery of gaols. At present although the Supreme Court is a Court of Gaol Delivery-see section 9 of the Supreme Court Ordin- ance, 1873-it has not apparently been customary for it to discharge this function.

9. It is proposed to substitute the term "indictment" for the term "information." In England an indictment is really a presentment by a grand jury, but it is not called a "pre- sentment" on that account. So the fact that the Court is "informed" by the Attorney General as to the commission of the offence does not appear to be a sufficient reason for our abstaining from using the term "indictment," which, it is believed, is of almost universal use in English-speaking countries.

10. Clauses 94-96 relating to the probation of first of- fenders are adapted from 50 and 51 Vict. c. 25-an Act which is said to have worked very well in the Mother Country.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, HONGKONG, 21st January, 1899. SIR,I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on this College for the year 1898. 1. The total number on the roll for the year 1898 was 1,344, or 132 in excess of the previous year. The largest numbers present in any one month were 1,014 in February and 1.007 in March, as against 961 and 953 in 1897. The largest attendance on one day was 991, while in 1897 it was 911. 2. In spite of thus raising our number of seats from 924 to 1,014, we were obliged to turn away over 120 boys. I therefore reported to the Government that the demand for admission exceeded the accommodation, and recommended an increase in the rate of Fees from 1st April. His Excellency the Acting Governor, on the advice of the Governing Body, approved; and Government Notification 103 was accordingly published.

　　　　3. The attendance from the end of March onwards was seriously affected by the Plague, so that it is not possible to make a reliable report on the effect of raising the Fees. I am, however, of opinion that not more than a dozen boys left on the latter account. Over 100 boys returned in September, cheerfully paying arrears, which varied from $12 to $18; and 148 new boys were admitted, the largest number ever enrolled in the last quarter of the year; both which facts may be taken as indi- cations that the Chinese recognise the increased rate as reasonable.

　　　　4. The total amount of Fees was $21,593, which is an increase of $8,138 upon the previous year's revenue from this source, and more than double the collection in 1896. Owing to a reduction of $1,200 in the Crown Agents' Account, the cost of the College to the Government was $16,303 or $9,320 less than in 1897.

5. The following Table will illustrate the varying fortunes of the College, during the last five years :-

　　　　6. In my last Report, I stated that my suggestion for the appointment of 4 Senior and 4 Junior Assistant Masters, instead of 6 Assistant Masters had been approved; but that we should have to await a further vacancy amongst the Senior Assistant Masters before the full, number of 8 Assistant Masters could be attained. In view, however, of the increased attendance and ampler revenue, it has been decided to appoint a Third Junior Assistant Master at once.

7. Owing to various Departmental economies ($1,953), the total extra increase in the Estimated Expenditure for 1899, due to these changes is $2,207; at which extra cost, the College has the benefit of two additional English Masters and a Native Mathematical Master. A further reduction of at least $1,272 will be effected when, in accordance with the approved scheme, it shall be found practicable to transfer to other departments one Senior English Assistant Master and two Senior Chinese Assistants. This will leave at the most $935, as the final actual extra expenditure, incurred by these changes.

　　　　8. Mr. E. RALPHS was appointed on 23rd March, and Mr. B. JAMES, B.A, of Merton College, Oxford, arrived on the last day of September. These gentlemen are the two Junior Assistant Masters selected, in lieu of appointing one Senior Assistant Master to the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. JAMESON, in September, 1897.

　　　　9. On the 1st March, Mr. U HANG-KAM, A.A., distinguished in Mathematics at the Oxford Senior Local Examination 1895, was appointed Native Mathematical Master on probation, till the end of the year. He discharged his duties most satisfactorily, and was confirmed in the post from the 1st January. The advantages, expected to be derived by placing English and Senior Chinese Masters in charge of lower classes, for a short time daily, have been realised; and in a year or two, great improve- ment in intelligence and acquaintance with English should be perceptible.

10. Mr. JONES has been seconded to the Supreme Court, throughout the year. Mr. MACHELL went on twelve months' leave after six years' service and nearly a dozen years' continuous residence in the Colony. Mr. HANKEY, who was acting for Mr. JONES, left for Australia on 1st July. Mr. Li UT, tenth Chinese Assistant, died of small-pox in January last.

Class.

222 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1899.

　　　　11. The Oxford Local results this year show considerable improvement, there being 59% passes instead of 18%. Ten certificates in all were obtained; 4 Senior, 3 Junior and 3 Preliminary. The non-Chinese passes are highly creditable. C. B. HAYWARD obtained distinction in English, in the Junior Local Examination, being bracketed 7th out of a list of 63 so honoured in all England.

　　　　12. Through the kind services of the Inspector of Schools, the declaration of poverty, imposed in 1892, as a condition for competing for Free Education at this College, was removed. Candidates must be scholars at the Government Anglo-Chinese District Schools. Eight boys offered themselves last February, but none qualified; the elementary work being far too weak. Now that the Scholarships competition is restored, it is to be hoped that, as in former years, it will prove a stimulus to aiming at a higher standard in the District Schools; and that as a consequence, boys from these Schools may on admission to Queen's College be found fit for higher classes than the Preparatory School. The removal of this restiction was, I believe, the last act, in connexion with Education, performed by the ex-Governor, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, G.C M.G.; and it will be highly appreciated by the Chinese; as in the ten years when these Scholarships were opened the Free Scholars often highly distinguished them- selves, and all of them obtained respectable situations, which, without Free Education, would in most cases have been beyond their attainment.

13. In June, His Excellency General BLACK, C.B., as Acting Governor, honoured us with a personal inspection of the work at the College. We were the more gratified with this mark of friendly interest, as it is ten years since we were similarly favoured.

　　　　14. We are much indebted to the Honourable Director of Public Works, for several improvements. The loop-holed wall overlooking the premises from Bridges Street has been made solid, thus putting an end to a long continued series of nuisances and interruptions. A spiked bar was placed over the gate leading to the playground, to prevent incursions from street ragamuffins. The Store-room was removed elsewhere, and the partition between its former site and a small class-room having been removed, an additional large room of 60 seats was provided, increasing the accommodation by 24 seats, with a possible annual gain of $576 in Fees..

　　　　15. This institution has recently provided several Native Masters for Schools in Borneo and the empires of China and Japan. At Yokohama, I had the opportunity of paying a visit to the Tung Man School under the charge of two of our former Pupil-teachers. I found adinirable discipline and excellent progress made in the six months, since the opening of the School.

　　　　16. In accordance with instructions from the Governing Body, I examined the Lower and Prepa- ratory Schools of this College; the Upper School being reported upon by Independent Examiners. The result is as follows :-457 boys, or 83 % passed, out of 550 examined.

332 boys examined, 249 or 75% passed.

208 96

Lower School.... Preparatory School .... 218.

　　　　The work of the Preparatory School is excellent as usual, requiring only the last quarter of the year for its preparation. The weakness of the Lower School may be attributed to the fact, that the prevalence of the plague rendered necessary a repetition of the course of enforced promotions the detrimental effect of which in 1897 was referred to in my last Report. I am at a loss, however, to account for the obtrusive collapse of the Lower School in the important subject Arithmetic, the per- centages in which are far inferior to those obtained in Grammar, Geography, Composition and English Conversation; while the results in Reading, Dictation and Translations from and into Chinese are up to the ordinary average. Under the circumstances I refrain from commenting in detail on the indivi- dual subjects, leaving the figures in the adjoining Tables to speak for themselves. I should, however, fail in my duty, if I abstained from bearing testimony to the excellent steady work of masters and boys throughout the year, in the face of discouraging circumstances.

VICTORIA GAOL, HONGKONG, 24th January, 1899.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of H.E. the Governor the following report. on the Victoria Gaol for the year 1898.

The usual returns are appended.

2. The number of prisoners admitted to the Gaol during the past year under sentence of the ordinary Courts was 4,976, besides 69 soldiers and sailors sentenced by Courts Martial. There were 51 persons imprisoned for debt and 331 in default of finding security, making a total of 5,427. Of these, 760 were old offenders, including 13 juveniles who were merely sent to the Gaol to be whipped by order of the Magistrate, and were detained pending the infliction of the whipping, leaving a total of 747 old offenders who actually underwent imprisonment.

There were altogether 69 juveniles sent to the Gaol merely to be whipped and arrangements have now been made with the sanction of the Governor by which such juveniles are whipped imme- diately on reception in the outer court of the Gaol. They do not now enter the Gaol nor are they detained beyond the time actually necessary for whipping.

The corresponding numbers for the preceding year were respectively as follows:-

Convicted by the ordinary Courts 4,711, by Courts Martial 48, Debtors 54, in default of

finding security 263; total 5,076, including 606 old offenders.

3. The daily average number of prisoners confined in the Gaol during the year was 511, as com- pared with 462 for 1897.

VICTORIA GAOL, HONGKONG, 24th January, 1899.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of H.E. the Governor the following report. on the Victoria Gaol for the year 1898.

The usual returns are appended.

The corresponding numbers for the preceding year were respectively as follows:-

Convicted by the ordinary Courts 4,711, by Courts Martial 48, Debtors 54, in default of

finding security 263; total 5,076, including 606 old offenders.

3. The daily average number of prisoners confined in the Gaol during the year was 511, as com- pared with 462 for 1897.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1899. 225

4. The number of prisoners committed to the Gaol for offences not of a criminal nature was 1,837, made up as follows:-

5. The following table, which I insert for the first time, shows the number of prisoners who were committed to Gaol without the option of a fine, and in default of payment of fines.

The period of detention of those who paid their fines after reception in the Gaol was from one to three days.

Number of Prisoners admitted to Gaol during each of the last three years under sentence of imprisonment with and without the option of a fine, and the number of those who obtained their release by paying their fines after reception in Gaol.

　　　　　With a view to decreasing the number of prisoners confined in Gaol in default of payment of fines, I have suggested legislation such as has recently been introduced at home, allowing part pay- ment of a fine to be equivalent to serving a proportionate part of the sentence of imprisonment in default.

　　　　　6. There were 4,038 reports made by Prison Officers against prisoners for offences against Prison discipline, as compared with 2,619 reports for the previous year.

A proportion of the increase is directly due to the increased population of the Gaol in 1898, and I attribute the remainder of the increased reports to the following conditions which rendered difficult the enforcement of strict discipline :-

(a) The location of a larger number of prisoners in Association while the work of sub-divid

ing the cells, which is referred to in paragraph S, was in progress.

(6) The interruption of the regular routine of labour by this and other structural improve-

ments on a large scale that have been carried out during the year.

Discipline cannot be maintained by inexperienced officers.

　　　　　I give below the number of reports for offences against prison discipline for each of the last three years, and the average number of reports per unit of the Gaol population

　　　7. The returns which are appended show a considerable increase in assaults on each other, on Prison Officers, by prisoners, and in the offence of having tobacco.

The number of cases of assault on Prison Officers was two, which is below the average.

　　　The number of assaults by prisoners on each other shows a large increase. The assaults were, however, with one exception, of a trivial nature, and arose out of petty disputes between prisoners engaged together on unaccustomed work in connection with the structural alterations in, and additions to, the Gaol.

　　　The increase in the offence of having tobacco is due to the fact that, at various periods during the year, there were a certain number of free men engaged on work in the Gaol.

8. The following improvements, referred to in paragraph 16 of my Report for 1897, have been completed during the year under review almost entirely by prison labour at what must be regarded as the small cost of $15,000:

(a) On the site of D wing, a large two-storied workshop has been erected, the upper floor of

which is used as a printing shop while the ground floor is devoted to mat making.

The workshop was much needed, and has rendered possible a useful extension of industrial labour.

(b) The sub-division of Association cells into separate cells has been completed. There are now 427 separate cells in the Gaol, and 26 Association cells, giving accommodation for 453 prisoners in separate confinement, and for 104 extra prisoners by placing 5 prisoners in each Association cell, or a total of 557 prisoners.

(c) The Officers' quarters inside the Gaol have been converted into a commodious hospital, and offices for the Chief Warder and Clerks, but the hospital is still occupied by the Indian Staff pending the building of quarters for them outside the Gaol.

(d) What was formerly the Chief Warder's and Clerks' offices, has been turned into a

reception room with cells attached.

(e) The old hospital, which is above the female Prison, has been prepared for the reception of female prisoners as an extension to the existing female Prison. It is, however, still occupied by male prisoners pending the removal of the hospital to the new accommo- dation provided for it.

(f) Certain alterations in the yards round A and B halls (the Gaol extension) have been made to prevent escapes, and a useful addition to the yard space between the two halls has been contrived.

9. The following improvements are being now effected by Prison labour, having been undertaken before the end of the year :-

In the Lower East Yard the ramp is being entirely removed affording a site for a new and enlarged laundry, which it is proposed to build, and additional yard space for the laundry work, while the old laundry will be converted into a shed for general labour, When the above work has been completed, it is proposed to demolish B wing and to erect in its place a new hall. B wing contains 15 Association cells and 2 separate cells. The new Ward would contain 76 separate cells, and, being much more compact, would enable an increase in space in the Upper Yard. It is also proposed to cover in the centre of the Upper Yard as a protection against sun and rain in summer time. With the erection of the proposed new Ward, the Gaol would contain 501 separate cells and 11 Association cells, the latter being capable of accommodating 55 prisoners, or a total of 556.

The Gaol could then be conducted almost entirely on the separate system.

10. The fact that the capacity of the Gaol accommodation does not exceed 557 prisoners is one that should not be lost sight of, and when it is remembered that it is necessary to have space accom- modation in the Gaol to meet the demands of any emergency, it is evident that with a rapidly growing population and the acquisition of new territory, the question of increasing the Gaol accommodation for the Colony is one that already demands the attention of Government.

11. During the year one Chinese prisoner succeeded in escaping, and two others attempted to escape, but were re-captured by Prison officers, by scaling the boundary wall of the Gaol extension.

Structural additions have now been made which will render escapes from the same locality very

difficult.

12. The profits on industrial labour amounted to $6,204.19, as compared with $2,620.08 in the preceding year. The balance sheets of each industry are shown in enclosure E. The increase is prin- cipally due to the extension of the Printing Department which now executes the job printing required by the Government and the Military Authorities.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1899. 227

13. I append a table shewing the daily average number of prisoners engaged on non-productive labour, on productive labour and in Gaol services, and of the value of the labour of the prisoners in the two latter categories.

14. A statement of the casualties that occurred in the Gaol Staff during the year is annexed.

The large number of resignations in the Indian Staff was due to the men throwing up their appointment to seek more lucrative employment elsewhere.

Vacancies in the European Staff have, with one exception, that of a Hospital Warder, been filled by local candidates drawn from the Army. Some promising officers have been thus acquired.

　　　　15. The year has been an exceptionally busy one in the Gaol, and the large works referred to in paragraph 8, carried out as they were, simultaneously with a high daily average, and at times excessive number of prisoners-the daily average in July was 559 and on two occasions during that month the number reached 589-entailed a great deal of new and unaccustomed work on the officers.

Credit is due to all for their share in the labour, but the services rendered by the Chief Warder

in immediately directing and supervising the work deserves special notice.

Mr. CRAIG assisted me with many valuable suggestions in connection with the various works, and to his technical knowledge and unfailing industry and resource is largely due the successful accom- plishment of an undertaking of no small magnitude.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th February, 1899.

RESOLUTION OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

　　　Whereas it has been usual to warn officers appointed to the service of this Colony since 1894, from a country possessing a gold standard of currency, that the exchange compensation allowance on half their salaries will be granted to them so long as it is granted to other members of the service, but that the continuance thereof is not guaranteed and is subject to the annual vote of the Council, and it is deemed that such warning is calculated to deter eligible persons from entering the public service, it is hereby resolved that it is expedient to discontinue such warning in future, and to regard the compensation as a permanent but not as a pensionable emolument.

242 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1899.

　　　NOTICE OF QUESTIONS.-Mr. BELILIOS gave notice that at the next meeting he would ask the following questions:-

(1.) The plot of land lying between Arbuthnot and Hollywood Roads to the N.E. of Victoria Gaol which has been resumed and cleared of the houses formerly standing thereon, and which has for about 12 months been lying fallow and unproductive, being a valuable site, will the Government state whether any plan for utilising it was considered before the rent- earning dwelling houses were demolished?

(2.) If plans for utilising the ground had not been considered before the destruction of the property standing on this site, will the Government state whether or not such plans are under consideration now?

(3.) If plans and specifications for building on the site are ready in the hands of the Public Works Department, will the Government be good enough to state when it is probable that such buildings will be ready for occupation by the Government servants or others for whom they may have been designed, and at what date the Colony may expect to be relieved. from payment of rents for the accommodation of such Government Officers?

RESOLUTION. The Colonial Secretary moved the following resolution :-

Whereas it has been usual to warn officer & appointed to the service of this Colony since 1894, from a country possessing a gold standard of currency, that the exchange compensation allowance on half their salaries will be granted to them so long as it is granted to other members of the service, but that the continuance thereof is not guaranteed ond is subject to the annual vote of the Council, and it is deemed that such warning is calculated to deter eligible persons from entering the public service, it is hereby resolved that it is expedient to discontinue such warning in future, and to regard the compensation as a permanent but not as a pensionable emolument. The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and agreed to unanimously.

The Honourable

THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

A. M. THOMSON,

Hon. Secretary.

CANTON, January 27th, 1899.

　　　　　GENTLEMEN,-We have the honour of laying before you the following report of the Annual Exa- mination of the Upper Part of the College, which we have, by order of the Government, lately conducted.

We carefully set papers in accordance with the schedule of work that was given us beforehand, taking care that none of the questions were above the standard indicated by the schedule. The work as a whole was fairly satisfactory; the teaching was obviously very careful-so much so that, in many cases, the boys seemed to consider anything in the shape of independent thought unnecessary. The large proportion of failures in some of the forms is not to be ascribed altogether to idleness or stupidity; careful work of some ability was shewn by many boys, who were, however, clearly beyond their depth. We understand that the cause, this year as last, is the rapid promotion necessitated by the influx of large numbers of boys at the bottom of the School; with the result that boys are required to do senior work, before they have acquired a sound elementary grounding. The dangers of this system are so obvious that we would suggest some change: for instance, that the promotions in case of need should be made merely nominal, for the sake of getting a more convenient division of the numbers of the boys. We venture to think that, though this system may seem to imply a lowering of the standard of the higher forms, the final results would shew an improvement. To make a boy do work that he cannot fully understand, if it does not result in mere confusion, furthers the tendency to an absolute reliance on memory-the besetting fault of the Chinese boy, as instanced in this Examination: the adoption of any system that would foster independence of thought would have the best results. This criticism is prompted by a general review of all the papers, but more especially by a comparison of the General Intelligence papers with the rest of the work offered. The style of answer in the General Intelligence was a pleasant surprise: the boys could not trust to memory, and consequently there were few or no instances of the catch phrases that ruined so many of the answers in the other papers.

　　　　　The English of the Chinese boys was on the whole satisfactory. Some of the questions were misunderstood, and some of the answers were unintelligible: but with a few exceptions, and in spite of an entire lack of style, the boys managed to make their meaning clear. A common fault in the whole School was a want of concentration; at times there would be pages of manuscript bearing no relation to the questions of the paper. This is the more to be regretted, as it appeared more often in the case of the better boys: many wasted so much time in giving irrelevant (though correct) information, that they were forced to leave unattempted questions which were probably within their scope-a fault which resulted in a heavy loss of marks.

　　　　　The writing and general neatness, especially of the Chinese boys, was very good, in spite of the fact that, in some cases, boys who could write let themselves be hurriel into untidiness and carelessness. A little more care might have been devoted to formulating and tabulating the answers.

248 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1899.

e now append our remarks on each subject :

　　　Reading and Conversation.-Good: as far as could be judged in a ten minutes' examination of each boy, the reading was careful and accurate and the questions in conversation seemed to be under- stood, and were, in the majority of cases, answered fairly intelligently.

Dictation.--In all the forms except IB. was very well done, the lowest percentage of passes being 83. The failure in In. was unaccountable. The passage from DICKENS read to them was not under- stood-perhaps because the sentences were rather long to be grasped with ease; but this would not explain the most egregious misspellings of simple words.

　　　Arithmetic.-The work was neatly done, that from the head class being good, the standard of the non-Chinese boys being rather higher than that of the corresponding Chinese classes. More atten- tion should be paid to accuracy in working, and to confining the work to the actual question set; in many cases, totally irrelevant answers were given. Decimals are not sufficiently understood or used. A constant source of error was a blind reliance on remembered rules, and the attempt to fit the ques- tion set into some rule of formula. Rules and formula, if not thoroughly understood, are worse than useless: each question should be looked at from its own point of view, and, generally speaking, every step in its working fully explained; if a rule is used, it should be as indicating a method of reasoning,

rather than as a reason in itself.

　　　Algebra. The head non-Chinese classes did very well: the Chinese classes do not seem to grasp the idea of Algebra, or to have had sufficient practice in the solution of examples. Simple equations were poorly done, while factors (a most important branch of elementary Algebra) were hardly attempted. In the lower classes, the laws of signs and the clements of the subject were not under- stood, whilst Multiplication, Division and Subtraction were used indiscriminately.

　　　Euclid was very well done, though the writing out of the propositions seemed to be more a matter of memory than of reason. There was little facility shewn in dealing with riders, and few boys succeeded in solving them. In the lower classes, abbreviations should not be used till at least half of first book has been learnt.

　　　Translation-English to Chinese.-The work in Class I was good. A descriptive piece from Dickens was translated with marked intelligence by the A section of the class, and some translations were written in good literary style. In section B only one boy failed to pass, and there were no failures in section 4.

　　　The other classes were asked to translate selections from their several reading-books. Results in IIB shewed careful teaching: results in IIA were, however, disappointing. Some answers were spoilt by carelessness, and in others it was appareat that the meaning of the English was not understood.

In Class III there was a fair percentage of passes, and a few boys obtained high marks. If the English sentences had been broken up into parts, and the boys had reflected a little on the usages of particular words, many defects in translation might have been avoided.

Translation-Chinese to English.-The work in LA and IA was commen lable. Nearly all the papers from both sections of Class II were marked by independence of effort on the part of the boys. In the A section of the class, every boy translated with fair correctness.

In IB there was too little original work, and in Class III many boys, in their unsuccessful attempts to reproduce translations learned in the class-room, wrote nonsense. Having regard to the educational value and practical uses of Chinese to English Translation, the subject shouli be carefully taught in all classes.

Grammar. This subject was very fairly well done in all classes. The analysis, however, was not up to a very high standard, the chief difficulty lay in the proper breaking up of the sentences. In the lower classes the parsing left something to be desired. When definitions were asked for, many boys attempted to keep to the words of the book by pure effort of memory, with results that shewed that the book had never been really understood.

　　　Geography was very fair The map drawing in those classes that had England for their subject was good--in some cases excellent; the maps of the other European countries were not so good. The spelling of names was inaccurate, boys could not write sounds that were obviously femiliar to their ears. At times the inaccuracy was due to Chinese pronunciation (eg Alaps for Alps), but more often it was a mere matter of spelling. It is in the Geography and History that the faults of inaccuracy and want of concentration are most clearly marked; boys constantly failed to answer the question set, either because they did not understand it, or because they had read it carelessly, and much irrelevant knowledge was unnecessarily introduced.

The work of the large Classes IIIAB was uneven but not good: a fact perhaps due to the unwieldy size of the form. The Physical

　　　　　　　　The Physical Geography paper for the upper classes was not difficult, but few seemed to understand the subject well. Here and in the History, boys were constantly quoting/ sentences at haphazard from the book, without any idea of their meaning. The work of the non- Chinese classes was good. Two or three papers at the top of each class deserve special mention; they were excellent.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1899. 249

　　　　History.-A good proportion of excellent papers was done: this was as satisfactory a subject as any. DALGLEISH's Medieval England seemed rather above the standard of some of the boys who took it: they could, however, remember outlines as given in the more elementary text-book. Amongst the Chinese boys the conception of History seemed to be a patchwork: each reign was taken to form a complete whole, so that difficulty was found in tracing a particular line of events through more than a single reign.

Shorthand.-Mr. THOS. H. REID, of the China Mail, was kind enough to assist us in the Shorthand Examination. He writes:-"On the whole the shorthand writing was neat and well formed; but some of the papers indicate carelessness and lack of practice in the formation of outlines. The "transcription from shorthand was invariably excellent, and the majority of mistakes were obviously "due to want of knowledge of the English language.

'Taking into consideration the age of the pupils and their mixed nationality, the teacher deserves "to be congratulated on the success he has achieved; and if type-writing is combined with shorthand, Queen's College should turn out a number of pupils able to fill positions as shorthand clerks in local "offices and business houses.

　　　　"Although the boy who sat for a speed test of 30 words a minute returned a good paper, I strongly "deprecate any test for speel until the pupil has completed the study of PITMAN'S "Manual," and obtained some knowledge of the Grammalogues and Contractions in "The Reporter's Companion."

　　　　General Intelligence.--More originality was shewn in this paper than in any other. Such questions as were tried were mostly well done; and had the boys been induced to write all they knew of the paper, the result would have furnished an excellent criterion of their relative merit. Unfortunately, most boys were content with attempting very few questions.

Shakespeare.-Classes IAB, No. 1, 2, offered Richard II Acts I and II. The upper section in each class did well: the lower sections were weak.

Book-keeping.The work of IA was very good it was marred by a few inaccuracies due to care- lessness. The work of IB. was not good, the amounts often being placed on the wrong side, and the work in some cases being only half done. A more accurate knowledge of the text book is necessary.

Mensuration.--The senior class did well, the junior poorly. The work was inaccurate, and shewed want of practice.

Physiology and Natural Science -Were taken by one boy alone, who did fairly on easy papers. Latin.-One boy offered "Cesar de Bell. Gall." I. 1-30. As he had only learnt Latin for three months, we consider that he did as well as could be expected in getting 10 per cent.

We recommend the following boys for Scholarships

Morrison.-IM YAT WING.

Belilios Senior.---C. B. HAYWARD.

Belilios Junior.-H? KING.

Stewart.-WONG TAK KWONG.

We would like to draw attention to the excellence of the papers sent in by C. B. HAYWARD- especially in History, Composition, and General Intelligence, in each of which subjects we awarde:1 him full marks.

We have to thank the Head Master and the Assistant Masters for their help during the Exami- nation.

We have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,

Your obedient Servants,

GAMBLING.

There has been no recrudescence of gambling in illegal gaming houses during the year. Three important seizures in connection with lotteries were made.

In the first case five persons were arrested on the premises used as a branch office for a Wai Sing Lottery which has its principal office in Macao. Lottery tickets to the value of over $2,000 were found on the premises. Three of the prisoners pleaded guilty and were each fined $500 and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in default.

In the second case, which was of a precisely similar nature, the lottery being really conducted from Macao, five persons were arrested. In the result after appeal to the Supreme Court one was fined $1,000 or six months' imprisonment in default, and over $1,100 in money seized on the premises was confiscated.

　　　A lottery called the Tai Yik was instituted here soon after the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, to take the place of the Manila lottery which was necessarily suspended during the hostilities there. A successful raid was made on the offices of the lottery and eight persons were arrested and upwards of $7,000 in cash was seized. Three of those arrested were convicted and fined $1,000 each. The money was not legally liable to confiscation.

10.

DRUNKENNESS.

The number of cases for the year was only 29 in excess of the preceding year's low record. There are in the Colony 22 houses which are licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquor on the premises. One licensee was convicted of selling adulterated liquor.

The houses were conducted in an orderly manner during the year.

11.

PROSTITUTION.

　　　The indiscriminate opening of brothels in respectable quarters of the city is still a source of com- plaint, and Chinese householders are as averse as in the past to protect themselves by recourse to legal proceedings.

12.

STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED.

　　　The value of property reported stolen during the year was $43,089.76, or nearly $10,000 less than during the preceding year.

The value of that recovered by Police and restored to owners was $4,245.03.

ARMS ORDINANCE.

During the whole of the year a Proclamation has been in force prohibiting the export of arms and munitions of war from the Colony.

Several important seizures of arms and ammunition about to be illicitly exported were made by the Police, including 444 rifles, 203 revolvers, 57,000 rounds of ammunition and 41 kegs of powder.

17.

OPIUM ORDINANCES.

1,83 search warrants for prepared opium were executed by the Police and Excise Officers of the Opium Farmer. In 600 cases opium was found.

Only one seizure of raw opium illegally moved was made. The quantity was 5 chests.

18.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

....

In respect of the balances and measures found incorrect 140 prosecutions were instituted, and a conviction obtained in each case.

The Chinese balances being simpler than Fairbank scales are not so often out of order. There were 33 prosecutions, and an equal number of convictions, for obstructing the Examiner.

19.

FOOD AND Drugs OrdinaNCE.

　　　　Thirty-nine samples of intoxicating liquor were obtained from public-houses and licensed grocers and submitted to analysis. On the report of the Government Analyst 14 prosecutions were instituted and convictions obtained in 9 cases, in eight of which grocers were the defendants.

The liquor found to be adulterated was cheap brandy and whisky adulterated with water.

Table E shows the strength, enlistments and casualties in the Police Force during 1898. Twenty-six European recruits were engaged during the year. Five came from the Aberdeen City Police, three from the Glasgow City Police. six from the London Metropolitan Police, eight from Ireland having had no previous Police service, seven of them being approved candidates on the roster for the Royal Irish Constabulary who were enlisted by permission of the Inspector-General of the Royal Irish Constabulary, while three were obtained locally from the Royal Navy and one from the

Empress of India" for the Water Police

　　　　The large number of resignations of Chinese is a noticeable feature in the return, pointing to the fact that inducements to men to continue their service in the Chinese Contingent is wanting.

I have already reported that in my opinion the pay of the Chinese Force as a whole is inadequate.

22.

CONDUCT.

　　　　The number of reports against Europeans was 41 as against 46 in 1897; of these 8 were for drunkenness as against 13 in the previous year; 7 for asleep on duty as against 4; 4 for disorderly conduct and fighting, and 2 for sitting down on duty as against 2 and 1 respectively; and 2 for neglect of duty as against 3 last year.

The conduct of the Contingent as a whole has been very good.

254

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 18TH FEBRUARY. 199.

There were 314 reports against men of the In lian Contingent as compared with 297 for last year. For drunkenness there were 14 against 12 in 1897; 15 for disorderly conduct against 13; 39 for neglect of duty against 44; 40 for absence from duty against 45; 52 for gossiping and idling on duty against 47; while only 12 were asleep on duty against 21 in the previous year.

Six men were convicted before the Magistrate-1 for Larceny, 1 for Cutting and Wounding, 1 for Misconduct as a Police Constable, and 1 Acting Sergeant and 2 Constables for Assaults.

　　　Twenty-seven Indians were sentenced to one week imprisonment by myself for insubordination, and one to seven days' imprisonment for inciting to insubordination.

pay

　　　A Petition had been addressed by the Indian Contingent to Government praying for an increase of salary on various grounds in June, and before there had been time to consider the Petition, 27 inen who had only recently joined the Force refused to sign the paysheets or to receive their pay unless the increase asked for was given them. The 27 men were sent to Gaol for 7 days each and were there given an opportunity of re-considering their position. On being given the option to take their unconditionally or be dismissed, 14 chose the former alternative and the remainder were dismissed.

　The Chinese Contingent is responsible for 572 reports against 402 in 1897. There were 3 reports for drunkenness while none were reported in the previous two years for his offence; asleep on duty increased from 22 in 1897 to 67; disorderly conduct from 12 to 19; and absence from station, duty and parades has increased from 17 to 209.

　　　One Chinese Constable was convicted at the January Sessions of the Supreme Court for demanding money with menaces and sentenced to 15 months' hard labour, and one was convicted by the Magistrate for assault, and one for giving false evidence.

　　　The above record is not satisfactory. The large number of recruits enlisted to fill the numerous vacancies that occurred in consequence of the bribery discovered in connection with the Wa Lane gambling house, was one contributing cause. In the large majority of the cases of asleep on duty, for instance, the culprits were such recruits. Another cause was the difficulty in obtaining a good

class of recruits.

I have already reported that in view of the rapid advance of rents and the price of food in recent years, the Chinese Police are underpaid and the Contingent will not be placed on a satisfactory footing until the service is rendered more attractive.

23.

REWARDS.

　　　During the year two European and seven Chinese Members of the Force were granted rewards by authority of the Governor for intelligence and promptness in the discharge of their duties, eight Chinese for the courageous manner in which they arrested a number of gamblers in the stone quarries near Shaukiwan, one Chinese for arresting under great difficulties a man wanted for shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm, another for attempting the arrest. and thereby impeding the flight till assistance arrived, of three European Stokers, while a third was rewarded for prompt action in ex- tinguishing a fire in a house on his beat.

　　　In some of the above cases Chinese Constables shewed great courage in which I may say I have never found them to fail.

　　　Two Indian Constables were rewarded for rescuing persons from drowning while two others gained similar recognition by smartness in arresting three burglars.

Three District Watchmen were rewarded for activity and intelligence in the discharge of their duties.

24.

PLAGUE SERVICES.

　　　The following is a summary of the number of men detailed for special work in connection with the epidemic:

HOUSE CLEANSING.

One European Police Constable commenced house cleansing on the 16th and two European Police Constables on the 28th February, 1898. Three were employed in March. Seven European Police Constables and one Chinese Constable in April, six European Police Constables, and one Chinese Constable in May, and six European Police Constables and one Chinese Constable in June, until the

18th of that month.

HOUSE TO HOUSE VISITATION.

One European Police Constable was on house to house visitation in March. Seven European Police Constables and sixteen Chinese Constables in April. Eight European Police Constables and nineteen Chinese Constables in May, and eight European Police Constables and seventeen Chinese Constables to the 11th June, 1898.

TUNG WAH HOSPITAL, AND NAM PAK HONG WHARE.

Six Chinese Constables from 2nd May to 10th June.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1899.

KENNEDY TOWN HOSPITAL.

255

One European Police Sergeant one European Police Constable and two Indian Police Constables from 2nd May to 25th June, 1898.

REMOVAL OF PLAGUE PATIENTS.

Three Indian Police Constables and seven Chinese Constables from 8th May to 23rd June, 189. The men so detailed received extra remuneration.

In addition to the above the Water Police exercised a surveillance over boats and launches going to Lai Chi Kok and Kowloon City and took the addresses of plague patients removed to those places, and also carried out the arduous duty of enforcing quarantine on all vessels coming from Macao, Canton and the Canton river, and Swatow, while 2 European Police Sergeants, 1 European Police Constable and 1 Chinese Constable are still employed under the Sanitary Board to strengthen the staff of Sanitary Inspectors.

　　　　The work of arranging for the removal of Plague patients to hospital and of the dead to the Plague mortuaries which was undertaken by the Police in the various districts to enable the Sanitary In- spectors to devote more of their attention to the work of disinfection) and the innumerable details arising out of an epidemic of the serious character of that of last year, threw a great deal of extra work on the Chief Inspector. the members of the Detective Staff (who discovered several cases of plague) and the Inspectors and Sergeants in charge, and the greatest credit is due to them for the tact and discretion with which they carried out the work, and the devotion with which they performed what in many cases were extremely disagreeable duties.

25.

HEALTH.

　　　　The year under review was a healthy one, although the number of deaths, as will be seen by re- ference to Table E, was unusually large. Seven men were lost by Plague, but only one of them was on Plagne duty.

The admissions to hospital were during the last 3 years as follows:

Europeans,.

Indians,

Chinese,

Among the Europeans 12 admissions were for treatment of venereal disesse. Table F shows the admissions to Hospital with fever from each station and the strength of the Police at each.

The health of Yaumati and subsidiary stations shows a marked improvement on 1897.

26.

EDUCATION.;

Owing to the dislocation caused by the large number of European Police whose services were dispensed with at the beginning of the year, and the supervention of the Plague, it was unfortunately. not found possible to hold the annual course of lectures of the St. John's Ambulance Association, and consequently no new certificates of the Association were gained.

During the year two Europeans and nineteen Indians obtained certificates for knowledge of Chinese,

and three Indians and two Chinese for knowledge of English.

　　　　I append a report from Mr. DEALY. who was acting as Master in charge during Mr. ARTHUR'S absence on leave, on the work of the Police School during the year.

27.

DRILL AND MUSKETRY.

Drill improved generally under the supervision of Mr. Howe, Acting Deputy Superintendent. The European and Indian contingents went through the usual musketry and revolver courses. The shooting of the Europeans was on the whole fair. In the Indian contingent it was, except in a small proportion of individual cases, very poor.

28.

BARRACKS.

The additions and alterations in the Police Stations at Hunghom and Mount Gough, the Peak, for which provision was made in the Estimates for last year, were not proceeded with; nor was it found possible to begin the building of the new West Point Station during the year, but it is proposed to proceed with the building of the latter station during the current year.

29.

DISTRICT WATCHMEN.

　　　　The members of this Force have done their duty satisfactorily under the supervision of the European inspectors and Sergeants of Police, and the control exercised over them has not produced

friction.

any

In many instances during the year (two of which are mentioned in paragraph 7) the District Watchmen have rendered valuable assistance to the Police.

STAFF.

　　　Mr. T. A. HOWE, Royal Irish Constabulary, left the Colony on the 21st September, and Chief Inspector MACKIE acted as Deputy Superintendent of Police until the return of Mr. BADELEY on the 25th of November.

　　　From the 1st March to the end of the year Mr. DUGGAN, Paymaster, was seconded to the Magis- tracy as First Clerk, and each of the clerks acted during that period in the post next above him, while a Sergeant Interpreter acted as fourth clerk.

I have the honour to be,

POLICE SCHOOL, 31st December, 1898.

　　　SIR,I have the honour to lay before you the following Report on the Police School during the year 1898.

　　　1. Mr. ARTHUR went home on leave. on the 1st March, since which date I have been in charge. This is the only change that has taken place in the Staff.

2. The School is divided into three sections:-

European; Chinese, and Indian :

　each section is allotted three hours every week on the Time Table. When the regular holidays which coincide with those given at Queen's College, and the forced holidays which occur when duty inter- feres with school hours, are taken into consideration, it will at once be seen that individual men can- not possibly have many hours schooling in the year. Yet the progress made by some of them, especially by the Assistant Warders whose duties allow of a comparatively regular attendance, is most satisfactory, and speaks highly for their industry and application.

　　　3. An examination of European Constables was held during August. Of the twelve men who presented themselves, eight passed: three others were sent to Hospital during the course of the examination and one failed. This may be considered very creditable. The results and report thereon were forwarded on the 17th of August. The successful men afterwards received certificates.

　　　4. I had a test examination of certain unsatisfactory Chinese Constables, in March, and it was eventually deemed advisable to strike their names off the roll, on account of irregularity and idleness.

　　　5. With one slight alteration in the Time Table, school work has been carried on the same as before. The alteration referred to was made in connection with the Indians who come under my own particular care. These men. varying in number from fifteen to seven. I had to split up into no less than four divisions, owing to their different capabilities. The fourth or lowest lot read and had dictation from the 1st Reader-a most apt and useful compilation; the third used the Regulation Book; the second the Fourth Royal Reader; and the first division has read from the Fifth Royal Reader. Reading, Dictation, Writing and Colloquial based on the matter read, and on details connected with their duties, were the four subjects to which I limited my teaching with these men. I found that their knowledge of Notation and Numeration was, without exception, equal to the simple requirements laid down for them; I accordingly concluded that the little time they are in school would be best given to the four subjects named.

　　　6. It was my intention to hold an examination for Chinese and Indians. as well as a supplement- ary one for those European Constables who fell ill in August, at the end of January or the beginning of February. As Mr. ARTHUR will be back by that time, he will doubtless do so.

　　　7. "Notes of the Geography of China," a small book in use at Queen's College, was introduced as the Text-book of Geography for European Constables.

　　　8. The highest attendance during the year was on June 20th, when sixty-two were present: the average for the year is forty-three. I have no statistics for former years; but I believe this is an im- provement on the immediate past: it is explained by the fact that men from the Gaol come more regularly, and in somewhat bigger numbers than previously.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

T. K. DEALY, Inter. Arts (Lond.) Master-in-Charge.

The Honourable F. H. MAY, C.M.G.,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

Vessels and junks are prohibited from anchoring in the obstructed area.

For purposes of navigation, the sunken obstructions may be considered as reducing the depths of water shown on the chart by eleven feet.

The southern limit of this obstructed area will be marked by buoys carrying red flags.

The easternmost buoy will be approximately 700 yards due south of the south-eastern point of Stone Cutters' Island, the westernmost buoy about 700 yards due west of the first mentioned buoy. Lines due north from these two buoys will give the eastern and western limits of the obstructel area. Vessels and junks are prohibited from anchoring in or passing through the obstructed area.

Government of China.

NOTICE TO MARINERS,

No. 91 (SPECIAL).

CHINA SEA.

SHANGHAI DISTRICT.

J. H STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

South Channel Entrance to the Yangtze.

Intended change of position of the Kiutoan Light-ressel, etc.

　　　　Notice is hereby given that, in consequence of the silting up of the present Channel over the Kiutoan Flats, the Kiutoan Light-vessel will, on or about the 21st instant, be shifted to mark the Channel over the Fairy Flats.

Her position approximately will be: House Island Beacon bearing N 32° E, distant 3.8 miles.

The Middle Ground Upper Buoy will be shifted to mark the North-western extremity of the Middle Ground. The Blockhouse Shoal Buoy will be discontinued.

The newly formed Channel immediately to the North of the Middle Ground will be buoyed.

DIRECTIONS.

The following directions, which should then be followed by inward bound vessels, are given provisionally.

　　　　After passing the Tungsha Light-vessel, steer a N 53° W course with that light vessel astern until the Kiutoan Light- vessel bears N 73° W. Then cross the Fairy Flats with the "Kiutoan" ahead on that bearing (N 73° W). When within half a mile of the "Kiutoan," steer to pass her on your port hand at a distance of two cables.

A N 42° W course with the "Kiutoan astern will then be a mid-channel course as far as the South-east Knoll Buoy. Following the above directions, the least depth of water on the Fairy Flats is 15 feet at Low Water of Spring Tides. All bearings and courses given are magnetic.

　　　　CAUTION.-The existence of the wreck of the Fairy renders it inadvisable to take a more northerly course over the Fairy Flats than that recommended above.

The present Channel to the northward of the Kiutoan Light-vessel has now only 13 feet Spring Tides.

　　　　Owing to the transitional state of this neighbourhood, and the rapid changes that are now tended alterations should be looked upon as temporary only.

No. 11 of 1892.

Objects and Reasons.

At the annual meeting of seatholders and subscribers of St. John's Cathedral Church which was held in January, 1898, a wish was expressed that the Church Body should procure an amendment of the St. John's Cathedral Ordi- nance, 1892, by making the tenure of office of lay members of the Church Body annual instead of permanent. But when a draft Bill for this purpose was about to be prepared it was thought better to endeavour to procure the repeal of the existing Ordinance and the re-enactment of a new one. Accordingly the present Bill has been prepared by the Church Body and approved by the seatholders and sub- scribers at the annual meeting held in Jauuary last.

Beyond the amendment already referred to, the only alterations made by the Bill on the existing law are those of arrangement and phraseology.

INTRODUCTION.

Principles to be observed.

　　　　　The conditions which should govern any enquiry into the best means of disposing of the garbage and refuse of cities and towns are stated below in their relative order of importance.

　　　　　A. The health of the city being the first consideration, the most efficient (i.c., sanitary) method of disposal should be adopted irrespective of cost.

B. Such method should cause no danger or inconvenience to the neighbourhood to which the refuse is removed.

C. Consistent with efficiency, such method should be as economical as possible---

(i) In initial outlay.

(ii) In annual recurrent expenditure.

　　　　　D. Consistent with efficient destruction, the best means should be followed of utilizing any valuable products the refuse may contain, in order to minimize, as far as possible, the cost of disposal.

Collection of Refuse.

　　　　　This report in no way attempts to deal with the method of collecting the refuse, nor with the cost of such collection, but it is assumed that the cost will be practically the same, whether the refuse be taken, as at present, to dust boats stationed at various places along the Praya wall, or whether it be taken in the dust carts to a Refuse Destructor which may be erected on the outskirts of the City.

Past and Present Procedure.

　　　　　Until within recent years, a most common method adopted by cities and towns for disposing of their refuse was that of dumping it upon a piece of waste ground selected as near to the town as pos- sible. Towns on the seaboard sometimes adopted an alternative plan of barging the refuse to a place at sea, where it could be dumped without risk of being washed back on to the foreshore.

　　　　　The first method was followed in Hongkong for many years, the refuse being dumped at Belcher's Bay on a foreshore which has since been reclaimed, and is now a part of the City of Victoria, viz., Kennedy Town. This dumping ground having become unsuitable, another place was found on the Chinese mainland, where dumping was allowed under certain conditions. It appears that these condi- tions have been infringed and hence the present enquiry and report.

Dumping the refuse on the mainland embraces the disadvantages of both the above methods, and, although preferable to dumping close to the City, is still unsatisfactory.

METHODS OF DISPOSAL. Dumping Grounds.

"From a report made by Professor BURDON SANDERSON, M.D., and the late Professor PARKES, M.D., on the Sanitary Condition of Liverpool' (I quote from Knight's "Annoted Model Bye-Laws ") experi- ments having for their object to ascertain what the effect of time had been on the organic matters which, together with cinder refuse, had been used to fill up inequalities in the ground tended to shew that 'the process of decay of all the most easily destructible matters,' including vegetable refuse, 'is com- pleted in three years.' If this be so it follows that a dumping ground will constitute a danger to health for three years after the last load has been dumped.

The dumping ground for Hongkong is on the mainland and well removed from the Island, but there is such close communication between the Colony and the mainland, that any disease breaking out on the latter would be quickly conveyed to the Colony. Any action therefore of the Colony, which may produce a breeding ground for disease, cannot fail to affect it detrimentally.

　　　　　　It is difficult to say at what time the refuse becomes really dangerous to health, but it would be wise to provide means which would ensure that all refuse be removed from the City within twenty-four hours of collection, and that it be not afterwards disturbed until it has been rendered harmless.

　　　　　　Removal within twenty-four hours is, I believe, effected at the present time, but the system is liable to disarrangement from wind, storms and tide.

334

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

It would also be wise to minimize the handling of the refuse, which is at all times an unhealthy occupation, and which becomes more so the longer the refuse is stored. At present the refuse is

handled three times.

1. In collecting from the house and placing in the dust carts.

2. In removing from the dust carts to the dust boats.

3. In carrying from the dust boats to the dumping ground.

The third handling must continue under the present method of disposal, but might be obviated either by dumping at sea from hopper barges or by burning near the City.

The following objections then are urged against the present method of barging the refuse to the mainland and carrying it to a dumping ground there :-

1. The refuse itself forms a breeding ground for disease.

2. Delays in removal of several days may be entailed by high winds, typhoons and storms. 3. The refuse has to be handled more frequently than by other methods.

Dumping at Sea.

The second method of disposal is that of dumping at sea. To do this would necessitate the use of specially-constructed hopper barges, which would practically take the place of the present dust boats. A sufficient number of barges and tugs would be required, working under European super- vision, as to ensure the removal of each day's refuse within twenty-four hours of collection. barges containing the refuse would require towing out to sea each day, where the refuse would be emptied, at such a distance as would render impossible any return to the harbour or foreshore.

The

This method, if properly carried out, is open to fewer objections than that of dumping on land, for no breeding ground for disease is formed and the third handling may be obviated by dropping the refuse into the sea through the bottom of the barge.

There still remains, however, the objection of delays which will occur with every blow or storm, when the refuse for four or five days, or even more, may have to be kept in the City or in boats and barges along the sea front.

Burning.

The most efficient means of disposal is undoubtedly that of destruction by fire, and I believe it possible, by the erection of suitable furnaces to burn the whole of the City refuse within twenty-four hours of collection, and this without risk of delay by wind and storm and with only two handlings. Kurrachi in India, where a similar class of refuse would obtain, is burning it successfully, while Penang, Singapore and Madras are erecting Destructor Furnaces.

　　So thoroughly have the evils of dumping refuse on land, and the advantages of burning it at a high temperature become recognized, that at least eighty cities and towns or vestries in Great Britain have already erected furnaces, while many more in Britain, in the Colonies and on the Continent are either erecting Destructors or are making enquiries in view of doing so.

DETAILS OF FURNACES AND WORKING.

Introduction.

　　Having generally described and compared the three "Methods of Disposal" applicable to Hong- kong I will now deal specially with the proposal to erect Destructor Furnaces and describe such furnaces in detail. Before proceeding, however, I should state that having visited several cities and districts where Destructors are working and seen different patterns, I drew up a specification, which I attach, of the general requirements for Hongkong and asked four of the best known firms to submit designs and estimates. This course was adopted because practically every part of the furnace is patented, while opportunity is given to the different patentees to adapt their several types and patents to the local requirements. Two of the four firms only responded to my request, and the designs, esti- mates, etc., are attached to this Report.

General.

The principal points to be attended to in designing a furnace are:-

1. That the arrangements shall be such, and the heat sufficient, to thoroughly burn the

material and gases and render both innocuous.

2. That such arrangements shall be made as will effectually prevent the escape of dust or

unconsumed fumes from the Chimney.

3. That, consistent with proper burning, the arrangement of furnaces, flues and boilers shall

be such as to obtain the best calorific results.

The Furnace.

　　In all types of furnace I have seen, the refuse is burnt in the front, while fresh refuse is fed on to a hearth at the back, where it is partially dried before being raked on to the fire and burnt.

　　In one type of furnace the outlet flue is at the back and close to the feed opening, so that the heated gases from the fire pass over the unconsumed refuse, thus helping to dry it, but at the same time carrying off unconsumed and noxious fumes to the flue.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

335

In the other type of furnace, the outlet flue is in the front and over the hottest part of the fire, and the unburnt refuse being, as in the first type at the back, the fumes of this drying refuse are brought over the hottest part of the fire and are thoroughly heated, before reaching the flue.

This latter arrangement appears to me to be the more scientific of the two, for whereas, in the first case, the heated gases from the burning refuse are cooled in passing over the unconsumed refuse and thus enter the flue with a reduced temperature, in the second case the fumes from the unconsumed. refuse pass over the hottest part of the fire and eventually pass out of the furnace thoroughly heated and innocuous.

Draught.

There is a diversity of opinion as to the relative advantages or otherwise of natural and of forced draught, but so far as I can ascertain the latter is considered the better by those who have had most experience.

The advantages of forced draught are that a higher temperature can be maintained, the rate of burning is accelerated, and the necessity for a very high chimney is obviated; on the other hand, there is a greater risk of dust, etc., escaping from the chimney and becoming a nuisance.

On behalf of natural draught it is urged that a sufficient heat is obtained to properly burn the refuse, with less wear and tear to the furnaces and a consequent lower annual outlay in repairs.

Under forced draught, fewer furnaces do the work so that there are less to repair; refuse can be be burnt more quickly, and from personal inspection of both, I find that a greater steam pressure can maintained in the boilers.

The force of the draught is usually equivalent to a pressure of about inch of water, but in Messrs. BEAVAN and DEAS' furnaces a pressure of 2 inches is maintained, hence the high consumption at Leyton.

See below.)

Forced draught was specified for the proposed furnaces for Hongkong.

Flues.

The design and arrangement of the flues is an important factor in the subsequent successful working of the furnaces, for it is by them that the heated gases from the furnaces are conveyed and utilized, and in them that the dust is intercepted. They should be of such design as, for instance, to admit the fixing of boilers and the introduction of carcases to be cremated, though this is sometimes done in the furnace with small carcases of dogs, cats, &c. and with condemned meat.

The flues should also be so placed that the loss of heat by radiation is reduced to a minimum.

Fume Cremators and Dust Catchers.

In the old type of furnace with natural draught, it was generally found that unconsumed gases escaped from the chimney, creating a nuisance in the neighbourhood. To obviate this a second furnace, called a cremator, was constructed in the flues between the refuse furnace and the chimney, This arrangement is where the fumes passed over a special fire in order to render them innocuous. extravagant as it involves additional expenditure in fuel and attendance.

　　　　With a properly-designed furnace such additional expenditure should be unnecessary; it is, however, wise to introduce a cremator if it can be worked without additional expenditure, and this can generally be effected in connection with a "dust catcher."

A simple arrangement of the latter is shown in the design submitted by Messrs. GODDARD, MASSEY AND WARNER, and consists of a blank wall built across the flue, with a pit at the bottom, the The dust is flue being increased in height above the wall to give the required sectional area. intercepted by the wall and falls into the pit at the foot, while the draught is impeded and probably the temperature raised in consequence.

A very ingenious cremator and dust catcher has been recently erected at Edinburgh by the Horsfall Syndicate and a similar one is proposed by them for Hongkong. The flue ascends in a short spiral round the outside and to the top of a domed chamber; the gases enter this chamber through the dome and pass out to the chimney by a flue near the bottom. There is a depth of some three feet at the bottom of the domed chamber below the outlet flue which acts as a dust box. This cremator is said to throttle the heat and thus raise the temperature, and cremate the fumes. The draught beyond the cremator is dependant upon the height of the chimney, but can be regulated by dampers.

Chimney.

　　　　The usual height of chimney for furnaces with natural draught is about 180', this great height being rendered necessary to produce a draught in the furnaces and to obviate as far as possible the escape of dust, paper, etc. from the top. Where forced draught is used, one reason for the great height is removed, for the chimney is relieved of all duty in producing draught in the furnace itself and receives assistance for the draught required in the flues, and it should be possible to so design the flues as to intercept all paper and dust.

A lower chimney has the double advantage of costing less in initial outlay and upkeep and of being less liable to damage by typhoons.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

Efficiency of Furnaces.

　　　The quantity of refuse, which may be burnt per diem by any type of furnace, can only be ascer- tained by experiment, as it depends so entirely upon the calorific qualities of the refuse dealt with and the period of burning.

For instance, at Leyton where Messrs. BEAMAN AND DEAS' furnaces have been erected, it is stated that under forced draught 16 tons per cell per diem are burnt, consisting of refuse and sludge mixed in the proportions of 1 to 1.

At Whitechapel, Messrs. MANLOVE ALLIOTT & Co.'s furnaces are said to burn 10 tons cell

per diem under natural draught.

per At Edinburgh, where the refuse is said to be very poor in quality, 8 tons per cell per diem are burnt by the Horsfall furnaces under forced draught. The furnaces are, however, new and better results will probably be obtained.

At Bow Road, Poplar District, where Messrs. GODDARD, MASSEY AND WARNER'S furnaces are working, I learn that 6 tons per cell per diem are burnt under natural draught; it is expected that 8 tons or more will be burnt when forced draught is fitted. At Kurrachi, India, the same firm have erected a 2-cell Destructor which is reported to burn 11 tons per cell per diem under natural draught. It will thus be seen that results vary considerably, and I am of opinion that in designing furnaces for Hongkong it would be unwise in the present state of our knowledge to calculate on burning more than 6 tons per cell per diem.

The refuse from a Chinese city, where all cooking is done on charcoal ranges or chatties, will almost certainly have a lower calorific value than that of a European city where the refuse contains some 60% of cinder, which assists in the burning and is the chief factor in producing heat. The Hongkong refuse, however, contains a quantity of vegetable matter, rattan shavings, and other com- bustible matter, and no difficulty is anticipated in successfully burning it.

It is needless to say that one type of furnace may burn more than another, or that the quantity burnt may be regulated by the hardness of clinker required. The longer the period of burning and the higher the temperature, the harder will be the clinker. In England the period of burning varies from one to two hours per charge.

Disposal or Utilization of Clinker.

There will necessarily be always a certain quantity of waste material to dispose of after the burning. Quoting from a report by Sir A. BURNIE and Dr. SHIRLEY MURPHY to the London County Council, dated May 10th, 1893, by burning in a Destructor "the matter collected is generally reduced to about one-third its original weight and to about one-fourth its original bulk. The organic and combustible matters are burnt, and the residue consists of ash and clinker free from matters which can become offensive, and which are, if the Desturctor is properly used, purified from possible sources of contagion."

The residue has been utilized in various ways as follows, and it has in certain instances been sold. At Manchester-the clinker, when ground up and mixed with lime, makes an excellent mortar which is easily disposed of, the demand being in excess of the supply.

At Hornsey" the clinker is used for mortar, concrete, hard-core for new roads, paths, for making paving slabs, etc., and a ready sale for same is found at 2s. Od. per one-horse load (at the Depot) when the Council have any to dispose of."

At Edinburgh, the clinker is used for raising the level of low-lying ground within the curtilage of the works.

　　　Being thoroughly burnt and therefore harmless, the clinker may safely be used for filling up hollows in waste ground, and could be disposed of in this way on the Reclamation Works so long as they are in progress, or at Kennedy Town where there are building sites several feet below the level of the roads and where I anticipate that the permission of the owners would be readily given.

　　　　It is possible that some of the residue may be sold, but as granite can be easily obtained for concrete and red earth for mortar, and both are probably better for the purpose, this possibility must not be reckoned on.

Should it become necessary to barge away the clinker-a contingency I do not anticipate-the inatter collected will still have been reduced to about one-third of the original weight and the necessity will not exist for immediate removal.

Utilization of Heat.

Although the sole object of the furnaces is the destruction of the city refuse, it is yet possible that, after such destruction, use may be made of the heat generated. The various ways in which this heat may be utilized were set forth as follows in the specification submitted to the firms for tenders:--

(a) To cremate carcases of cattle.

(b) To cremate, or dry for manure, offal from the Slaughter Houses.

(d) To supply heat for a 100-H. P. boiler.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

The boiler to be used:-

(i) For heating water for use in the Slaughter Houses. (ii) For a Disinfecting Plant.

(iii) For driving an engine of 50-H. P.

337

In drawing up this Specification I had Kennedy Town in view as the locality of the Destructor. It may also be possible, after the erection of a suitable chamber, to use the heat for cremating human bodies; the question of building a Crematorium has already been broached and with a nominal expenditure the experiment might be tried in connection with the Refuse Destructor.

Of the foregoing proposals D (iii) is the only one needing further remarks.

The Horse Power to be obtained from a boiler heated from a Refuse Destructor will depend upon the heat generated in the cells and upon the position of the boiler so as to best utilize this heat. The calorific properties of Hongkong refuse being an unknown quantity, it is impossible to estimate the size of boiler that should be provided or, indeed, to say whether a boiler should be fixed at all; under these circumstances I recommend that no boiler be purchased in England in the first instance, one can be obtained locally for the purposes of experiment.

The 50-H. P. engine would also wait; but if the necessary heat can be obtained to raise steam to drive it, it might be used to drive a dynamo for the following purposes, viz.:-

(a) To light the Slaughter House and Destructor Works and, if desired, the Infectious

Diseases Hospital.

(b) To pump water to the Peak by means of an electric motor, fixed at the Bonham Road

Pumping Station.

The above assumes that no monopoly has been granted to the Electric Light Company to supply electric power to Government buildings.

SITE.

The City extends for some four miles in length, and as all refuse has to be taken to the Destructor, the latter should be in as central a situation as possible and it should also be on the lower levels.

The value of ground in the central portion of the City on the lower levels is so great as to prohibit the erection of a Destructor there, and the alternative appears to be the erection of two Destructors, one at Kennedy Town in the west, the other in the vicinity of Causeway Bay in the east. The alternative possesses the advantage of disposing of the refuse on the outskirts of the City where any risk of nuisance is reduced to a minimum, while by the erection of two Destructors the distance of conveyance after collection will be considerably reduced.

　　　　I have previously described the uses to which a Destructor could be put if erected at Kennedy Town, but I venture to suggest that a Disinfector, and a furnace for cremating cattle, would also be useful at the east end of the City, while, if the heat generated be sufficient, the Destructor works there might eventually be utilized for pumping, in connection with the completion of the sewerage scheme for the City when this is carried out, which scheme includes pumping the sewage of the Eastern District out to North Point.

The initial cost, as well as the working expenses for two Destructors, will be greater than for one of equal capacity, but I believe the sanitary advantages will be found to thoroughly justify the addi- tional expenditure.

SCHEMES SUBMITTED.

Messrs. Goddard, Massey and Warner.

I propose to deal first with the scheme of Messrs. GODDARD, MASSEY AND WARNER.

This firm has had some experience in the East in the erection of a Destructor of two cells at Kurrachi, which is reported by the Municipal Engineer to burn eleven tons per cell per diem, and they consider that to calculate on a basis of nine tons per cell per day will allow a safe margin. Ten cells are therefore provided for the ninety tons.

　　　　The type of furnace proposed is that with the outlet flue at the back, behind the drying hearth and close to the feed opening. Provision is made to assist clinkering and to avoid the fire "caking," by the introduction of movable firebars which I have seen working successfully.

The scheme provides for the refuse to be tipped from the carts on to the floor over the cells, from whence it is raked into the charging hopper. This hopper is a simple contrivance for feeding the furnaces by means of which a measure l quantity can be shot into them by pulling over a lever.

The fans would have been placed more advantageously if at the other end of the furnaces, for it is obviously a better arrangement that the stronger draught should be at the far end rather than in the middle of the flue; it has possibly been so arranged, however, in consequence of the provision asking for additional cells. The arrangement for regulating the draught to each furnace is worthy of attention; it will tend to counteract the disadvantage and assist in controlling the fires.

Placing the engines and fans, as shown between the furnaces and the boilers, will result in the temperature of the gases being unnecessarily reduced before reaching the latter and thus render them less effective. I have already pointed out the necessity of placing the boilers as close as possible to the furnaces.

338

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

A simple arrangement of "dust-catcher" has been designel ant is described on page 335. The usual height of chimney for natural draught furances has been provided, probably in con- sequence of the proximity of the Slaughter Houses.

The Horsfall Syndicate.

　　　The scheme of the Horsfall Syndicate is very complete. The furnace is of the better type having the outlet flue in front and twelve cells have been provided on the basis that each will be capable of burning 73 tons per diem.

　　　Provision has been made for storing the refuse on the works in trucks, which can be run on rails and tipped, the refuse being thus discharged into the furnaces without additional handling.

The furnaces are divided into two sets and the forced draught, although not entirely free from the objections previously urged, is well arranged.

The boilers are placed as close to the furnaces as possible and are thus in the best position to utilize the available heat.

　　　A "dust-catcher" or beehive cremator, as working successfully at Edinburgh, has been provided for while the chimney is but little more than half the height of that proposed in the other scheme.

Special provision has been made for drying blood (for manure) and arrangements have also been made for fixing an "economizer" to heat the feed water to the boilers.

Comparison.

　　　For comparison I propose to describe the scheme of the Horsfall Syndicate as the "Horsfall" and that of Messrs. GODDARD, MASSEY AND WARNER as the "WARNER.

Comparing the two schemes it will be observed that, on the principles laid down on page 334, the Horsfall type of furnace is the better of the two. The Horsfall Syndicate guarantee to burn 7 tons per cell per diem as against 9 tons estimated by Messrs. GODDARD, MASSEY AND WARNER; I have seen both kinds working and from observations and from enquiries I am confident that the former will burn as quickly and as well as the latter.

There is a considerable difference in the estimated cost per cell. For instance-

12 Horsfall cells and flues, .........￡4,380.18.4

Forced draught,

270, 0.0 ￡4,650.18.4.= ￡387.11.6 cost per cell.

}￡4,650.18.4.

10 Warner cells and flues, .........￡2.522. 0.0

Forced draught,

475.10.0

￡2,997.10.0.

￡299.15.0

　　　The size of the cells being practically the same, it seems probable that the difference in cost is to be accounted for mainly by a different price being adopted for workmanship and materials, and that the ultimate cost in Hongkong of either design would be much the same.

　　　In the "Warner" design it is arranged to use the platform over the clinkering space as a tipping platform and this might equally well be done in the Horsfall scheme. The latter scheme, however, to conform with the specification, has provided a special tipping platform and storage bay with rails, and waggons sufficient to hold the refuse of one day, in order as requested to minimize the handling, and the cost of this must be deducted in comparing the two estimates.

　　　The boilers should cost the same whichever scheme is adopted, but as I do not recommend obtaining boilers from England in the first instance, their cost may also be eliminated.

I have already pointed out that they are better placed in the Horsfall scheme than in the Warner.

　　　The Horsfall scheme proposes a chimney only 100 feet high, which, with forced draught and their patent dust-catcher, is claimed to be equally effective with a higher chimney and results in an estimated saving of ￡850 over that of the Warner scheme.

　　　The buildings with platform are nearly the same size in both schemes, but are again priced higher in the Horsfall estimates, but as in the case of the furnaces it is probable that the ultimate cost in Hongkong would be much the same.

To sum up, both schemes have been carefully worked out, but I am of opinion that the "Horsfall" scheme is the better of the two in type of furnace, in general arrangement, and in detail.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

From the foregoing it will be seen that in my opinion

(i) The present method of disposal constitutes a danger to the health of the Colony.

(ii) The alternative of barging to sea, although an improvement on the present method, still

has the great objection of delays by tides, storins and typhoons.

(iii) Burning is the most sanitary method of disposal and therefore the right one to adopt. With our present limited knowledge, it would be wise in the first instance to experiment by burning a portion of the city refuse, before deciding on a scheme for disposing of the whole. These experiments might last for one year, during which time the remaining portion of the refuse would continue to be barged to the mainland as at present.

For the purposes of these experiments, I recommend the erection of four Horsfall cells with flues, dust-catcher, chimney and the necessary buildings, at Kennedy Town, on a convenient site near the Slaughter Houses and Infectious Diseases Hospital. With this plant can be ascertained the quantity

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

339

of refuse which each cell will burn per diem and the heat that can be obtained for steam raising. If the cells are equal in efficiency to those at Kurrachi, then they will burn 11 (tons) × 4 (cells) 44 tons of refuse per day or half the estimated total of the city. If they burn but 6 tons per cell per diem, but still work so successfully as to justify the erection of more, then the Destructor at Kennedy Town could be extended and a second erected near Causeway Bay at the same time. Even should it be subsequently decided not to burn, the first Destructor will still be available for the purposes mentioned in items (a), (b) and (c), on page 336.

　　　　In the first instance, the patent charging apparatus with waggons, tipping platform and storage bay might be omitted; they could be added subsequently if found desirable.

There will probably be a boiler belonging to the Government available for fixing temporarily to ascertain the steam pressure obtainable and to drive the engine and fans for forced draught; or a s?nall boiler can be obtained locally.

　　　　　Should these recommendations meet with approval, the selected firm would supply detail,. dimensioned drawings and all material required from England, such as * firebricks and fireclay for the furnaces and flues, ironwork, etc. A weighing machine, level with the roadway, should also be asked for that the contents of each cart may be weighed on entering the premises. A ground plan and cross sections of the proposed site should be sent with particulars of the required number of furnaces, height of chimney, etc.

* NOTE--In the estimates attached, firebricks with freight for the chimney are included; it is specially important to have the very Lest properly-moulded firebricks for the furnaces and flues, but for thehimney where the heat is not so great, firebricks of local manufacture would probably be found cheaper.

340

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

Staff.

To work four cells the following staff would probably be required for each shift:

One Engine Driver who would also act as Foreinan.

One Coolie to assist him.

Two Stokers to attend to the furnaces.

One Feeder to feed in the refuse.

There should be three shifts. The whole might be under the charge of an European Overseer or Nuisance Inspector, whose duties would be arranged to fit in with the required supervision, and who would probably be only too glad to undertake it, if comfortable quarters are provided. In the first instance, constant supervision would be necessary, but this could probably be dispensed with gradually as the attendants become used to the work.

Upkeep.

The Horsfall Syndicate estimate the "annual cost of repairs to the furnaces, based upon experience in this country, will not exceed ￡3 to ￡5 per cell." Assuming the latter figure correct then

$50 × 4 (cells)= $200 per annum.

￡5

There will also be the clinker to dispose of amounting to, say, 3rd of 24 tons = 8 tons per day.

Cost of Burning.

The estimated cost of burning 24 tons of refuse per diem, irrespective of the cost of collection, is-

Labour.-3 Engine Drivers,

-3 Coolies,

-6 Stokers,

@ $15 per month $ 45.00

24 Tons @ $8.65=36 cents per ton or about 8?d. which compares very favourably with the cost in England. This figure would, of course, be reduced if the furnaces are capable of burning more per diem.

CONCLUSION.

In conclusion, I would state that I have visited furnaces at--

Ealing, Whitechapel, Shoreditch and Liverpool constructed on the "Fryer" principles as

carried out by Messrs. MAULOVE, ALLIOTT & Co.

At Hornsey and Poplar constructed by Messrs. GODDARD, Massey and Warner. At Edinburgh and Bradford constructed by the Horsfall Syndicate.

At Leyton constructed by Messrs. BEAMAN And Deas.

At Manchester constructed on the "Whiley" principle; and I wish here to acknowledge the great courtesy and kindness I have met with from the Engineers and others connected with the Cities and Vestries as well as from the representatives of the four firms who were asked to tender.

Proposed Refuse Destructor

FOR

THE CITY OF VICTORIA, HONGKONG.

General Specification.

　　　　1. The site will probably be on a hillside, but for the purposes of this tender it may be assumed to be level, with a hill at the back where an inclined road may be cut to the level of the top of the furnaces. The whole of the works should, if possible, be arranged on a site 300 ft. long by 100 ft. broad, but additional length may be obtainable:

　　　　2. The works must provide for the disposal of 90 tons of refuse per diem. This refuse is of poor quality consisting of vegetable matter and cooking refuse, road sweepings from Macadam roads (there is no horse manure in this), rattan shavings, paper, rags, &c. There are no ashes in the refuse.

　　　　Forced draught should be provided and particulars should be given as to whether it is proposed to use a steam jet or fan.

　　　　3. The Destructor will be required to work continuously, but may be shut down perhaps twice a year. Arrangements must be made by which any of the furnaces may be shut off for repairs without stopping the rest. The works must also be so designed that steam can be constantly supplied, and to ensure this, the boilers should be in duplicate.

　　　　4. The flues and chimney must be so arranged that the boilers may be kept constantly working, even though all the destructor furnaces be shut off, and space must be provided for additional furnaces in the proportion of 30 % of the number now considered necessary.

　　　　5. The boiler shall be sufficient to supply 100 H.-P. and shall be in duplicate. Such buildings shall be arranged and tendered for as are considered necessary to cover the furnaces and boilers.

　　　　The position of a separate building should also be shewn on the site, to accommodate two 50- H. P. horizontal engines and two dynamos supplying 30 H.-P. cach, but no tender is asked for this building or for the machinery.

　　　　6. In designing the destructor buildings, chimney, &c., it must be borne in mind that the Colony is visited annually by typhoons; everything must therefore be of the most substantial character.

All exterior walls of buildings shall be not less than 14-in. thick.

　　　　Roofs must be securely fixed to the walls and must project as little as possible beyond them. The usual local roof covering is double roll and pan tiles.

7. The dust carts for collecting the refuse contain about 2 cubic yards each, and are drawn by manual (coolie) labour. The incline to top of furnaces should not be steeper than 1 in 20 and a sum of Thirty Pounds (￡30) may be allowed for constructing same.

Arrangements should be made to avoid a double handling of the refuse at the works, either by dumping it directly from the carts into trucks, as in Boulnois' and Brodie's charging apparatus, or by some similar scheme.

342

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

8. It is proposed to utilize the furnaces and provision must be made accordingly-

(a.) To create carcases of cattle (this will only be necessary occasionally). (b.) To cremate, or dry for manure, offal from the Slaughter-Houses.

(c.) To destroy mattresses and infected clothing.

(d.) To supply heat for a 100-H. P. boiler.

Note. It is proposed to use this boiler to supply steam for the following purposes, which

are stated for guidance and not for an estimate.

(i.) For heating water for use in the Slaughter-Houses.

(ii) For a disinfecting plant.

(iii.) For driving an engine of 50-H. P.

per furnace

per

diem.

9. In submitting the plans and tender the following particulars should be given :-

(a.) The quantity of refuse which will be guaranteed to be burnt (b.) The total H.-P. which it is estimated can be obtained from the furnaces. (c.) The type of boiler which it is proposed to fix. A price should, however, be quoted for both a Lancashire and a Water-tube boiler though it does not follow that either of them will be adopted.

(d.) The proposed height of chimney. It must be remembered in designing the chimney that it will probably be close to the Slaughter-Houses and that no dust must escape. (e.) The estimated annual cost of repairs per furnace.

10. The estimated cost of the works should be given in detail under the following headings:

(a.) Cost of furnaces and flues.

(b.) Cost of chimney.

(c.) Cost of destructor buildings.

(d.) Cost of boilers.

(e.) Freight of special firebricks, boilers, iron-work, &c., to Hongkong.

(f) Cost of such special materials with freight as may be required for repairs to furnaces, in the proportion of 30 ° additional to that shipped from England for carrying out

the works.

Note.-Ordinary bricks and an average quality firebrick can be obtained locally, but al special firebricks for the furnaces and hottest parts of the flues must be shipped from "England.

　　　　11. The estimate is to be in Pounds sterling, based on the assumption that the furnaces are to be erected in London, and the freight of special material to Hongkong should be added at the end.

12. It has not yet been decided to erect a Destructor in Hongkong, and no guarantee is given that any tender will be accepted. The plans and estimates may be of a preliminary character, but the details given of working and cost must be as accurate as possible.

Appendix 3.

NOTTINGHAM, November 1st, 1898,

DEAR SIR, We have now much pleasure to hand you Specification, Estimate, and Drawings for proposed Destructor Plant for the City of Victoria, Hongkong.

We have gone into this scheme with a great amount of care and we think we have been able to give you such machinery that would work successfully if adopted.

Our reason for coming to this opinion is based upon the successful results we have obtained with

a similar class of Plant erected in a somewhat similar climate and we believe that no other specialists of this class of machinery have had such good results.

蠱

Among such Plants we have erected, is one for the city of Kurrachi, India, where the Destructor

is dealing with the refuse at the rate of about 11 tons per cell.

We are equally successful in the City of Durban, South Africa, and as a good proof of the work done in that part of the world we are at the present time engaged in the execution of a contract for a Destructor Plant to be erected at the City of East London, Cape of Good Hope.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

343

We are also entrusted with a contract for 12-Celled Destructor, at the present time being erected at the City of Madras, India, which order was brought about after full investigation by Mr. ELLIS, the Engineer, who not only saw various Plants at work, and also took into consideration the class of Refuse to dealt with.

We enclose a list of the cities and towns where our Destructors have been erected, from which you will notice that they have been extensively used in Great Britain, and we think we are right in saying that we have erected more Destructors than our competitors. Amongst them is a 10-Celled Destructor with Boilers and Chimney Shaft for the town of Plymouth, a 4-Celled Destructor for the town of Torquay, a 6-Celled Destructor for the town of Hartlepool, a 10-Celled Destructor for the city of Sheffield, this is a repeat order after working a 6-Celled Destructor supplied by us for two years and is acknowledged to be the lowest in cost in dealing with Refuse to any in England; an additional Destructor which is a repeat order for the city of Bath, a Destructor for the town of St. Annes on Sea, and we have just completed a large installation in the District of Poplar, London, and also Destructors at Bury, Birkenhead and Handsworth, Birmingham.

We enclose a report issued by the City Engineer of Sydney who went closely into the matter of Destructors when on a visit to England, which may be useful and interesting to you with regard to the amount of work done at different towns in England and the Continent.

Upon reference to our Estimates and Plans you will notice

1st-We have arranged for a 10-Celled Destructor which is equal to 9 tons per day per cell whereas recent Destructors are dealing with from 10 to 11 tons per day so that you will have a large margin to turn upon.

　　　　2nd-We have arranged for Forced Draught by Air Pressure as we have found from experience that it is more economical.

3rd:-The Destructor is arranged so that any cell can be shut off as desired and also any cell can be closed at any time when cleaning the cells or clinkering.

4th-You will see by the plan that we have provided sufficient space for an addition of 30 per cent., in the capacity of the Plant.

5th-The Boilers are each equal to 100 H.P. calculated in the usual manner of Boiler Power and the Engine House is of the size required.

6th - We enclose a drawing of Chimney which will show that there is ample strength to withstand the usual wind pressure in Hongkong, and the Buildings, Walls, &c., have been designed with extra strength as mentioned in your conditions.

　　　　The whole of the other conditions mentioned by you have been carefully considered and the scheme has been produced upon those lines, and we append drawings :-

1st: Showing General Arrangement of the proposed Destructor and Works.

2nd-Refuse Destructor Plan and Section.

3rd-Elevations and Sections.

4th Elevation of Boilers.

5th-Chimney Shaft 180 feet high.

　　　　We shall be pleased to go further into the matter if desirable, and our Mr. WARNER will do the pleasure of calling to see you when in London and will then be able to explain any part of the Scheme and give you his best personal attention.

We are, dear Sir,

Yours very Truly,

GODDARD, MASSEY & WARNER.

TRAFFIC STREET, NOTTINGHAM, November 14th, 1898.

Proposed Destructor for Hongkong.

DEAR SIR,-With further reference to the above we find that in the items as to the cost of freight we omitted for Columns, Joists, &c. the sum of ￡42 which please add in making a total cost for the freight ￡741.

We have gone carefully into the cost of supplying waggons to make the scheme so that the refuse may be tipped into the waggons instead of upon Destructor, and the refuse fed into the Destructor as desired, similar to the arrangement at Liverpool which will consist of 20 Waggons, Tram Rails, Wheel and Chain Gear with Brackets and Pullies making the whole system complete, will add to the estimate ￡350 which would make the total amount for 10-Celled Destructor complete ￡10,880 +42= ￡10,922. Mr. WARNER desires us to say that he will be in London on Thursday and will be glad if you will meet him at Fenchurch Station at 11.40 a.m. when he will be pleased to go with you to Poplar and show you the whole arrangement of the Works.

We are, Dear Sir,

Yours very Truly,

J. R. CROOK, Esq., C.E.

GODDARD, MASSEY & WARNER.

Appendix 4.

2nd November, 1898.

　　　DEAR SIR,-Herewith we have pleasure in handing you our tender and brief specification for the Hongkong plant. We believe that we have provided for everything necessary for the job, and that it can be carried out on the basis of our scheme, without extras, unless additional foundations are

necessary.

　　　The consumption of refuse which we are prepared to guarantee is 73 tons per cell per 24 hours. Our usual guarantee in this country is 10 tons, and we frequently exceed this amount by a good deal, so that we consider, especially in view of our Continental experience, that 7 tons will be a safe figure for Hongkong refuse.

　　　We trust that you will find everything in order and that the submission of this scheme will assist your Municipality to arrive at a decision to erect a Destructor, and that we will be entrusted with the contract. We have taken considerable pains to make a thoroughly satisfactory scheme and one suitable for your purposes.

J. R. CROOK, Esq.,

2nd November, 1898.

Proposal for a "Horsfall" Destructor for the Burning of Town Refuse'

FOR

THE CITY OF HONGKONG. Specification.

　　　The Plant is to consist of a complete installation of 12 Cells or Furnaces for the burning of refuse on the "Horsfall" Patent system, and is so arranged that the Cells and Boiler power can be extended as required.

Cells or Furnaces.

These shall be erected according to designs covered by the "Horsfall" Patents, by which means. the greatest efficiency is secured in the burning of Town Refuse, each Furnace having a grate area of 30 square feet, with a drying hearth at the back. They shall be arranged back to back in two rows of Cells.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

Forced Draught.

347

　　　　　The draught shall be forced by 2 Schiele Fans, driven by Steam Engines placed as shewn on drawing and arranged so that the whole of the air for combustion is forced by way of the Blast Flue situate between the rows of Cells through our Patent iron Side Boxes, and thence into the Ashpits. below the Grate Bars. The Feeding Floor is thus ventilated, and the air heated before entering the fire.

‧

Front Fiues.

The only openings for the escape of the products of combustion shall be in the front, over the Clinkering Door, so that all the fumes given off by the green refuse in drying have to pass forward and over the hottest part of the fire before they can escape to the Chimney, and are thus thoroughly "cremated" within the Furnace itself. From the Front Flues the gases pass along the Cross Flues, and thence by the Downtakes into the Main Flue.

Grate Bars.

　　　　　The Grate Bars are to be of our most improved construction, with fine air spaces to prevent com- bustible material from falling through before being burnt.

Brickwork.

　　　　　The Furnaces to be built of good local red bricks, faced on the outside with picked stock facings. The Furnaces and Flues to be lined with our Special Brand of Ganister Bricks and Blocks; and the Ashpits and Air Ducts to be lined with seconds Salt-Glazed Bricks, set in Portland Cement mortar.

Ironwork.

The Doors and Frames to Ashpits, Front and Back Dead Plates, Grate Bars and Bearers, Clin- kering Doors and Frames, Flue Cleaning Doors and Frames, Side Boxes and Trumpets, and Feed Hole Doors and Frames, shall be all substantial Castings, properly fitted together. The Clinkering Doors are of an improved pattern, with vertical lift and balance weight.

Stays.

　　　　　The Furnaces are to be strongly stayed with Channel Irons, 12" x 3" and 6" x 3", Girders 8" x 4", and Tie Bolts 1" diameter, with enlarged ends and strong Washer Plates.

Boilers.

Alternative boilers are provided, either of the water tube type or of the Lancashire type.

Water Tube Boilers.

　　　　　These, if adopted, shall be two in number, BABCOCK AND WILCOX' patent, each boiler 1,218 sq. feet of heating surface suitable for a working pressure up to 120 lbs. per square inch provided with first-class boiler fittings of best make, including safety valves, water gauges, steam gauges, blow-off valves, etc., etc. The boilers to be constructed to Messrs. BABCOCK AND WILCOX standard specifica- tion, of which a copy will be provided if desired.

Lancashire-Boilers.

The Lancashire boilers, if adopted, shall be each 30 feet long by 8 feet diameter, of first class construction throughout, made entirely of mild steel plates, and suitable in every respect for a work- ing pressure of 120 lbs. per sq. inch. Each boiler shall be provided with safety valve, junction valve, steain gauge, water gauges, blow-off valve, and all other fittings of first-class make, and a copy of the Makers' specification shall be provided if required.

In each of the above cases, one boiler is intended to provide the requisite steam, the other to act as a stand-by in case of emergency.

Boiler Settings.

These shall be constructed on the most approved principles, and lined throughout with firebrick.

Shutting of Cells.

Any cell can be shut off for repairs without stopping the rest, by placing an iron plate or a quarry in the take-away flue at the top of the furnace. The cell will then be completely isolated and no cold air can pass through into the flues.

Feeding Arrangements.

　　　　These shall be of our latest patent type, the refuse being tipped out of the collecting carts into tipping waggons running on a set of sidings provided on the loading and storage bay. Rails are provided along the platforins and over the tops of the furnaces, and the refuse is tipped out of the tipping waggons into the charging holes. There is thus no handling of the refuse.

Forced Draught.

　　　　This shall be provided by means of two Schiele fans, 30" diameter, driven independently by means of two Marshall's vertical high speed engines, 6" diameter by 10" stroke, fitted with high speed Pickering's governor, and usual fittings of best quality.

348

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

Boiler Furnaces.

The boilers, whether Lancashire or water tube shall be provided with separate furnaces for coal firing if required, provided with forced draught. In the case of the water tube boilers, our patent side boxes shall be introduced. The forced draught to the boilers shall be provided by means of our patent steam jet apparatus.

Feed Pumps.

One Worthington Duplex Feed Pump 42" x 23" x 4" with brass lined water ends shall be pro- vided, with all necessary fixings and fittings.

Tank.

One wrought iron tank of 1,000 gallons capacity, fitted with ball-cock and overflow together with all water pipes from tank to pump, and pump to boilers, steam pipes from boilers to pump, and all necessary cocks and fittings, the water supply to the tank to be provided by the Municipality.

Economiser.

One Green's patent Economiser of 224 pipes shall be provided and fixed.

Dust-catcher.

One of our patent centrifugal Dust-catchers 20 feet diameter, lined with best firebrick and pro- vided with iron bands and cleaning doors shall be provided.

Chimney.

　　　One brick chimney 100 feet high by 6'. 6" inside diameter having an octagonal shell, lined with circular firebrick lining from the bottom to the top, strongly constructed throughout and fitted with lightning conductor, shall be provided.

Furnace for Drying Offal.

A furnace for this purpose, heated with hot gases from the destructor shall be provided as shown upon the drawing. A suitable mattress chamber shall be provided. This chamber will also be suitable for burning putrid meat, carcases, etc.

The inclined Roadway and paving of tipping platforms shall be provided by the Municipality. The iron work construction of the tipping platform as well as the construction and laying of rails upon the loading and storage bay, and platforms over furnaces, is, however, included in this tender.

Capacity of Cells.

The cells are guaranteed to burn 7 tons per cell per 24 hours of the Ordinary Hongkong City refuse, when properly managed by skilled stokers. It is difficult to estimate the total horse power which will be available, which will entirely depend upon the calorific value of the refuse. The latter will probably be low, but we think there will be something like 200 I.H.P. available if required.

Repairs.

　　　The estimated annual cost of repairs to the furnaces, based upon experience in this country, will not exceed ￡3 to ￡5 per cell.

Building.

　　　This shall be of brick with iron roof, covered with local tiles. The design shall be as shewn on drawing. No external walls to be of less than 14 inches, all the walls of buildings to be constructed of local brick. A ventilator, louvre boarded, running the whole length of the building shall be provided with steel and iron principals, the foundations to each part of the work which are included in this tender are clearly shewn upon the drawing.

Any additional foundations which may be found necessary shall be measured up and allowed for at current local rates.

THE HORSFALL FURNACE SYNDICATE, LIMITED, 16th November, 1898.

DEAR SIR,--In reply to your favour of the 1st, we beg to enclose herewith a revised summary of the prices for our destructor scheme for Hongkong, in accordance with your requirements.

　　The item "drying oven is the offal-drying chamber, shewn on plan. You are also correct as to the feeding arrangement, two back to back cells being fed from the same opening.

In case of wishing to work one cell, with the opposite one stopped, all that is necessary is to put in a temporary brick stopping at the back of the cell which is not to be worked. This will prevent the heat or the refuse from passing from one cell to the other. With both cells working, the feed opening might be filled with refuse at each charging, and the refuse would be pulled forward on to the fires as required.

The exact arrangement shewn is not erected anywhere at present, but it is practically the same. as our hand-fed back-to-back type, which is working so successfully at Edinburgh, Bradford, etc., almost the only difference being in the fact that the refuse is tipped direct into the feed hole, instead of being tipped first on top of the furnaces, and then thrown into the feed hole by the men.

There is not the slightest doubt as to the effective working of the arrangement, which we are about to put into a most important contract in London.

}

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1899.

349

　　　　　We think the freights which we have put down are rather high, and have no doubt that if we secure the contract we shall be able to obtain lower freights, so that you can take the item for freights as being subject to revision, in the event of our obtaining the contract.

Yours faithfully,

　　　No rent for the use of meters shall be charged in respect of water supplied to premises except in such cases as the buildings or premises are of the character mentioned in regulation 1, sub-sections (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi).

The Water Authority reserves the right to prescribe the size of meter which shall be fixed for measuring the supply to any premises.

　　　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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1899.

　　　　9. For the purpose of calculating the quarterly consumption the difference between two readings of the meter shall be taken.

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

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

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

10. If a meter be found to be out of order, or if it be removed for repair or alteration, the fact will be noted on the memorandum, mentioned in Regulation 8. On fixing a new meter or refixing the old meter a second memorandum will be handed to the occupier of the tenement. The consumption for the time that the meter was out of order or for the time that the service was without a meter will be calculated according to the average daily rate of consumption that obtained during the period between any two successive readings, whilst the meter was in good order, immediately preceding the removal of the meter.

11. If the consumer doubts the accuracy of the meter, which measures the water supplied to the tenement owned or occupied by him, then the meter will, on demand, be tested by the Water Authority. 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 wilfully 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 one-third 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 Colonial Treasury. Each quarter's account shall be final, and no surplus shall be carried forward from one quarter to the next. The owner of any premises to which a metered supply is given shall be liable to pay for that supply until he has given notice to the Water Authority in writing of his wish to have the supply discontinued.

　　　　　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 supervision. 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 presentation 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 Colonial 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 instructions 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 application, 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.

19. All new services or alteration or repairs to existing services must be carried out to the satisfaction of the Water Authority. Pipes and fittings of approved quality only are to be used. Sam ples may be seen at the Office of the Water Authority.

376

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1899.

　　　20. No pipes, valves, or other fittings forming part of a service shall be covered up until they have been inspected and tested by the Water Authority. As scon as a service has been inspected and approved, it will be connected with the waterworks, and the supply will commence. The connection will be made by the Water Authority's servants only.

　　　21. Whenever the owner or occupier of any tenement wishes that a service should be made, altered, extended or repaired at his cost by the Water Authority, he must make application by filling in a printed form (form D), obtainable on application at the Office of the Water Authority.

　　　On receipt of this form, duly filled in and signed, the Water Authority will cause the premises to be inspected and will arrange with the owner or occupier as to the manner of construction of the proposed service.

　　　22. The applicant for a service having signified to the Water Authority his acquiescence in the final arrangement proposed by the Water Authority, the service will be constructed accordingly.

　　　23. The Water Authority does not undertake to restore any ornamental floors, wall-surfaces or other decorations, which may be disturbed by the work.

　　　24. The Water Authority will not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any service constructed by the same, after the date of the account for construction.

　　　25. The Water Authority, notwithstanding that its requirements have been complied with as regards services, does not hold itself liable for any damage that may arise in premises by bursting or overflowing. Nor will the Water Authority by any permission or act extend its responsibility beyond the main-pipes in the public thoroughfares.

　　　26. All pipes, used in the construction of services, must be of cast-iron of approved thickness and quality or wrought-iron, both to be coated with bituminous composition, or galvanized wrought-iron piping (the latter, however, is not recommended),

　　　27. Wrought-iron service pipes must be of the quality known as "Best water piping" and must be of the following weights:-

Diameter

60 lbs. per 100 feet.

.....

1" 2′′

　　　28. Cast-iron pipes must be substantially jointed with lead and yarn. Wrought-iron pipes must have screwed joints and sockets.

　　　29. Lead pipes will only be permitted in new services when the water which passes through them cannot be used for drinking or cooking purposes (down-pipes to water closets or overflow pipes from cisterns, for example): Provided always that owners of premises which are now provided with lead- services will not be compelled to remove them unless in the opinion of the Water Authority they are too weak, or otherwise defective.

　　　30. Every service must be provided with a strong gland stop-cock with solid bottom, either of brass or of cast-iron; if of cast-iron, the plug to be asbestos-packed, or, with a screw-down stop-cock with a loose-valve; or, in the case of services larger than 2" in internal diameter, with a sluice or slide- valve.

　　　The stop-cock or valve must be fixed under the pavement where there is one, and as near to the tenement as practicable, and must be provided with a cast-iron cover and lid so that it may at all times be accessible; or, the stop-cock may be fixed above ground in the tenement immediately inside the door in some readily accessible place.

31. All draw-off taps are to be of the pattern known as "screw-down," or of such other pattern as the Water Authority may approve. Patterns of the taps may be seen at the Office of the Water Authority.

　　　32. Every cistern, to which water is supplied from the waterworks, must be provided with an "Equilibrium" ball-valve of approved pattern, and the ball-valve must be so adjusted as to close the supply when the water-level in the cistern is two inches below the edge or overflow if there be one. A brass screw-down stop-cock must be fixed behind each ball-valve.

　　　33. The overflow pipes of all cisterns must be brought out to the outside of the building and shall terminate in some conspicuous position, so that any leakage may be easily detected. No overflow pipe from any cistern shall on any account be connected with any drain or sewer or with the waste pipe of any bath or sink or with the overflow from any other cistern. Each cistern shall have a separate over- flow pipe.

　　　34. All water closets must be provided with automatic waste-preventing flush tanks of approved pattern and under no circumstances shall the service be in direct communication with any water-closet- pan. latrine or urinal. In every such case a cistern or tank shall be interposed so as to prevent the possibility of any return of foul liquid or gas to the service or mains.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1899.

377

　　　　35. The outlet of every draw off tap shall be in some open and conspicuous place, so that leakage may be easily detected; and on no account shall the outlet be below the high water level in any cistern, tank, or other vessel into which the tap delivers.

The inlet of every bath or lavatory basin must be separate and distinct from the outlet, and the inlet must be at the top of the bath.

36. No overflow pipe shall be altered without the permission of the Water Authority.

　　　　37. Meters may be fixed by the Water Authority, and the connections of any service with the waterworks may be altered as the Water Authority may deem expedient in order to ascertain the total quantity of water supplied to any tenement, block, or group of tenements.

38. The notice to be given under section 6 of the Water Works Ordinance, 1890, shall be in the form E, in the schedule.

　　　　39. The notices to occupiers and to owners to be given under section 13 of the same Ordinance shall be in the forms F and G, in the schedule (as the case may require).

　　　　40. The notice to be given as provided by section 17 of the said Ordinance shall be in the forms H and 1, in the schedule (as the case may require).

41. All notices required to be given or sent under the said Ordinance shall be issued under the hand of the Water Authority and shall be served either by delivering the same to the person or persons to whom they are addressed or by leaving the same at the residence or place of business of such person or persons or by leaving the same on the tenement or tenements to which such notices relate.

42. No water passing into, through, or upon, or near any tenement from the waterworks shall be misused or wasted.

43. Should it come to the knowledge of the Water Authority that the water supplied from the waterworks is being wasted or misused from any cause whatever within any tenement block or group of tenements, the Water Authority may forthwith disconnect the service supplying such tenement block or group of tenements from the waterworks and shall not reconnect such service until he is satisfied that reasonable means have been taken to prevent such waste or misuse.

44. No water shall be drawn from the waterworks except from public fountains and house services in the manner laid down in these regulations without the written permission of the Water Authority, except in the case of fire when water may be obtained from the fire hydrants fixed in the streets for that

purpose.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 145.

The following Report of the Superintendent of Fire Brigade for 1898 is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th March, 1899.

381

J. II. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

POLICE OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 6th February, 1899.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit the following report on the Government Fire Brigade for the year 1898.

　　　　　2. There were 16 Fires and 73 Incipient Fires during the year. Details regarding each will be found attached. The Brigade turned out 23 times.

The estimated damage caused by the fires was $35,000.74 and by the incipient fires $1,999.00. A list is attached shewing the number of fires that have occurred during each of the last ten years with the estimated value of property destroyed in each case.

‧

　　　　　The record for last year is the best in the series. The estimated value of property destroyed is less than $3,000 more than the lowest recorded which was in the year 1891, while the number of fires was double the number in that year.

　　　　　3. There was one prosecution for arson in connection with the incipient fire at No. 112 Third Street. The accused, a Chinese woman, was discharged at the Criminal Sessions, being apparently not mentally responsible for her actions.

4. There was no loss of life at any fire.

　　　　　5. The water in the mains was not turned off at any time during the year, and none of the land engines were used at a fire.

　　　　　6. I attach a list of places where Fire Despatch Boxes are kept, and of private telephones to which the Police have courteously been granted access in case of fire, together with copy of a report from the Engineer on the state of the various Fire Engines, which are all in good working order.

7. During the year six shelters were built at convenient places in the city for the reception of a despatch box each. A certain number of Indian and Chinese Police Constables, not members of the Fire Brigade, have been trained in the use of the despatch box, and the beats on which the shelters are situated are assigned to these particular Constables, who carry the keys of the shelters and are ready to render first aid at any fire occurring on their beats or in the immediate vicinity.

The men receive a small monthly allowance for this additional responsibility.

　　　　　The idea of thus extending the use of the despatch box and of utilising the Police on beat duty for the purpose, is one that occurred to Mr. WODEHOUSE (as I have discovered from an old report of his) before it occurred to me.

　　　　　The system is capable of indefinite extension, and I am of opinion that the moral effect alone of the existence on the spot of appliances for first aid will be found to have a deterrent effect on incendiarism.

8. It was my intention to fix in the streets a few fire alarms of the usual type used at home, but on the suggestion of Mr. E. M. HAZELAND, in charge of the Government Telephone Service, telephones connected with the Central Fire Station have been fixed instead at the back of the Harbour Office, at the Junction of Hollywood Road and Queen's Road, and at the Junction of Wilmer Street and Connaught Road.

　　　　　There has been as yet no opportunity to test the utility of these telephones, but I am in hopes that they may prove useful in speedily communicating alarms of fires to the Brigade.

The system requires careful watching and is capable of extensive development,

　　　　　9. The increasing height of Chinese houses in the city and the great height of the new buildings on the Praya, render necessary a re-organisation of the ladder supply of the Brigade, and the subject is receiving my attention. The matter would be an easy one were it not for the obstruction caused by verandahs.

In the meantime it is well to warn the occupants of the upper stories of the blocks of new build- ings on the Praya Reclamation, that there is no Fire Escape in the Colony and that they should provide themselves with some simple escapes such as the Amateur Dramatic Club have provided them- selves with for use from the dressing rooms attached to the theatre.

　　　　　10. The extension of the Central Fire Station has been completed and advantage has been taken of the additional accommodation to increase the permanent staff by 10 Chinese Firemen, the services of the 6 Soldiers who used to be on night duty being dispensed with. The soldiers used continually to be changed for various causes and rarely had an opportunity of becoming really efficient firemeu,

382

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1899.

The number of European Firemen at the Station has also been increased, and the Station should be generally in a higher state of efficiency than was possible under the old conditions It is certainly far more decent and comfortable for the men.

　　　11. The conduct of the Brigade throughout the year has been very good, with one exception- that of a Chinese watchman who was convicted of larceny of a jacket from the scene of the fire at No. 2, West Street, on the 10th October, and sentenced to two months' hard labour.

　　　12. Mr. THOMAS CAMPBELL, Assistant Engineer, who was connected with the Brigade for up- wards of nine years, died at the end of 1897.

　Mr. CAMPBELL was a very able and experienced officer and was a great loss to the Brigade. His post was filled during the year by Sergeant MCLENNAN of the Police Force who fulfilled the duties in a satisfactory manner.

All the Manual Engines and gear, as well as the Hose, Reels, Ladders and Supply Carts are in good order and condition.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

NOTICE TO MARINERS,

No. 335.

CHINA SEA.

SHANGHAI DISTRICT.

SOUTH CHANNEL ENTRANCE TO THE YANGTZE.

CHANGE IN POSITION OF LIGHTSHIP "KIUTOAN" AND BUOYS.

Notice is hereby given that the Light-vessel Kiutoan has been shifted to mark the channel to the southward of the Middle Ground, and is now in the following position:-House Island Beacon bearing N. 32° E., distant 3.8 miles.

The Middle Ground Lower Buoy has been altered in character, and is now a red and black vertically striped Buoy bearing a black spherical cage.

The Blockhouse Shoal Buoy has been discontinued.

A red and black vertically striped Buoy bearing a black cylindrical cage has been placed in 19 feet of water, to mark the north-

-western end of the Middle Ground. From it House Island Beacon bears S. 81° E., distant 4 miles. This Buoy is named the Middle Ground Upper Buoy.

　　　　A red Buoy bearing a black diamond cage has been placed in 13 feet of water, to mark the bank which forms the northern edge of the newly-formed channel to the northward of the Middle Ground. From it House Island Beacon bears N. 714° E., distant 2 miles. This Buoy is named the Kiutoan Flats Buoy.

DIRECTIONS.

Inward-bound vessels crossing the Flats to the south-eastward of the Middle Ground should do so with the Kutoan Light-vessel ahead bearing N. 73° W. On this course the least depth is 15 feet at low water of spring tides.

All bearings and courses given are magnetic.

Caution.-The existence of the wreck of the Fairy renders it unadvisable to take a more northerly course over the Flats than that recommended above.

Owing to the transitional state of this neighbourhood and the rapid changes that are now taking place, the above alterations should be looked upon as temporary only.

　　　　Whereas, by Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, entitled An Ordinance to authorise. His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles, as amended by Ordinance 3 of 1884, entitled An Ordinance to amend Ordinance 3 of 1862, it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette or in any Extraor dinary Gazette, to prohibit, for such period as should be inentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, subject to any perinis- sion that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.

And whereas, by Proclaination dated 18th day of November, 1898, such exportation and carriage. coastwise were prohibited for a period of four months from and including the 28th day of November, 1898, and whereas, I have determined with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, that it is expedient to continue and extend such prohibition for the period hereinafter mentioned;

　　　　Now, therefore, I, Sir ARTHUR HENRY BLAKE, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hong- kong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, prohibit for a further period of four months from and including the 28th day of March, 1898, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arins, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores, unless this Proclamation shall, in the meantime, be revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordinance 3 of 1884.

432

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1899.

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

"ARTICLE V.

"ARTICLE VII.

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

"ARTICLE VIII.

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

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

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

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

"ARTICLE IX.

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

"ARTICLE X.

"Pending the presentation of the demand for extradition through the Diplomatic channel, a fugitive criminal may be apprehended under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority in either country, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the authority issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant if the crime had been committed or the person convicted in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which the Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other com- petent authority exercises jurisdiction; provided, however, that in the United Kingdoin the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Magistrate. He shall, in accordance with this Article, be discharged, as well in the Netherlands as in the United Kingdom, if within the term of twenty days a requisition for extradition shall not have been made by the Diplomatic Agent of the demanding country in accordance with the stipulations of this Treaty. The same rule shall apply to the cases of persons accused or convicted of

accused or convicted of any of the crimes or offences specified in this Treaty, and committed on the high seas on board any vessel of either country which may come into a port of the other.

"ARTICLE XI.

"If the fugitive have been arrested in the British dominions he shall forthwith be brought before a competent Magistrate, who is to examine him, and to conduct the preliminary investigation of the case, just as if the apprehension had taken place for a crime committed in the British dominions.

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

"1. A warrant must purport to be signed by a Judge, Magistrate, or officer of the Netherlands.

disallow any part thereof, or may require the direction of the Court to be taken thereon by motion or petition, and if in any such case the client pays the whole or any part of the amount payable under the agreement, without the previous allowance of such officer or the Court as aforesaid, he shall be liable at any time to account to the person whose estate or property is charged with the amount paid, or with any part thereof, for the amount so charged; and if in any such case the solicitor accepts payment with- out such allowance, the Court may, if it thinks fit, order him to refund the amount so received by him under the agreement.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST APRIL, 1899.

THE SCHEDULE.

NATURE OF THE TEST APPARATUS.

The apparatus is known as the Abel Petroleum Tester and consists of the following parts :--

1. The oil-cup;

2. The cover, with slide test-lamp and clockwork arrangement for opening and closing the holes in the cover and

for dipping the test flame;

3. The water-bath or heating vessel ;

4. The tripod stand, with jacket and spirit lamp for heating the water-bath ;

5. The thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil in the oil-cup;

6. The thermometer for indicating the temperature of the water in the water-bath;

7. The thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil before it is poured into the oil-cup;

8. The dropping bottle or pipette for replenishing the test-lamp; and

9. A barometer.

　　　The oil-cup is a cylindrical flat-bottomed vessel, made of gun-metal or brass, and tinned or silvered inside. A gauge is fixed to the inside of the cup to regulate the height to which it is to be filled with the sample under examination.

The cup is provided with a close-fitting overlapping cover, which carries the thermometer, the test-lamp, and the adjuncts thereto. The test-lamp is suspended upon two supports, by means of trunnions, which allow it to be easily inclined to a particular angle and restored to its original position. The socket in the cover, which is to hold a round bulb ther- mometer for indicating the temperature of the oil during the testing operation, is so adjusted that the bulb of the latter is always inserted in a definite position below the surface of the liquid."

　　　The cover is provided with three holes, one in the centre and two smaller ones close to the sides. These are closed and opened by means of a pivoted slide. When the slide is moved so as to uncover the holes, the suspended lamp is caught by a projection fixed on the slide, and tilted in such a way as to bring the end of the spout just below the surface of the lid. As the slide moves back so as to cover the holes, the lamp returns to its original position. Upon the cover, in front of and in a line with the nozzle of the lamp, is fixed a white bead, the diameter of which represents the size of the test-flame to be used.

　　　The water-bath or heating vessel is so constructed that, when the oil-cup is placed in position in it, an air-space or air-chamber intervenes between the two; consequently, in applying the test under ordinary circumstances, the heat is transmitted gradually to the oil from the hot water through the air-space. The water-bath is fitted with a socket for receiving a long bulb thermometer, to indicate the temperature of the water. It is also provided with a funnel, an over- flow-pipe, and two handles.

The water-bath rests upon a tripod stand, which is fitted with a copper cylinder or jacket, so that the bath is surround- ed by an enclosed air-space, which retains and regulates the heat. One of the legs of the stand serves as a support for a spirit lamp, which is attached to it by a small swing bracket.

　　　The clockwork arrangement, by which during the operation of testing the slide is withdrawn, and the test-flame dipped into the cup and raised again as the slide is replaced, is provided with a ratchet key for setting it in action for each test, and with a trigger for starting it each time that the test-flame is applied.

DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING THE SAMPLE FOR TESTING.

PREPARING THE SAMPLE FOR TESTING.-About ten fluid ounces of the oil, sufficient for three tests, are transferred from the bottle into which the sample has been drawn to a pint flask or bottle, which is to be immersed in water artificially cooled until a thermometer, introduced into the oil, indicates a temperature not exceeding 50° Fahrenheit.

DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING AND USING THE TEST APPARATUS.

1. PREPARING THE WATER-BATH.-The water-bath is filled by pouring water into the funnel until it begins to flow out at the overflow-pipe. The temperature of the water at the commencement of each test, as indicated by the long bulb thermometer, is to be 130° Fahrenheit and this is attained in the first instance by mixing hot and cold water, either in the bath or in a vessel from which the bath is filled, until the thermometer which is provided for testing the tempera- ture of the water gives the proper indication; or the water is heated by means of the spirit-lamp (which is attached to the stand of the apparatus) until the required temperature is indicated.

　　　2. PREPARING THE TEST-LAMP.-The test-lamp is fitted with a piece of cylindrical wick of such thickness that it fills the wick-holder, but may readily be moved to and fro for the purpose of adjusting the size of the flame. In the body of the lamp, upon the wick, which is coiled within it, is placed a small tuft of cotton wool moistened with petroleum, any oil not absorbed by the wool being removed. When the lamp has been lighted, the wick is adjusted by means of a pair of forceps, or a pin, until the flame is of the size of the bead fixed on the cover of the oil-cup; should a particular test occupy so long a time that the flame begins to get smaller, through the supply of oil in the lamp becoming exhausted, three or four drops of petroleum are allowed to fall upon the tuft of wool in the lamp from the dropping bottle or pipette provided for that purpose. This can be safely done without interrupting the test.

3. FILLING THE OIL-CUP.-Before the oil-cup is filled, the lid is to be made ready for being placed upon

the cup, i.e., the round bulb thermometer is to be inserted into the socket (so that the projecting rim of the collar with which it is fitted touches the edge of the socket), and the test-lamp is to be placed in position. The oil-cup, having been previously cooled by placing it bottom downwards in water at a temperature not exceeding 50° Fahrenheit, is now to be rapidly wiped dry, placed on a level surface in a good light, and the oil to be tested is poured in, without splashing, until its surface is level with the point of the gauge which is fitted in the cup. The lid is then put on the cup at once, and pressed down so that its edge rests on the rim of the cup.

4. APPLICATION OF THE TEST.-The water-bath, with its thermometer in position, is placed in some locality where it is not exposed to currents of air, and where the light is sufficiently subdued to admit of the size of the entire test- flame being compared with that of the bead on the cover. The cup is carefully lifted, without shaking it, and placed in the bath, the test-lamp is lighted, and the clockwork wound up by turning the key. The thermometer in the oil-cup is now watched, and when the temperature has reached 56° Fahrenheit the clockwork is set in motion by pressing the trigger. If no flash takes place the clockwork is at once re-wound, and the trigger pressed at 57° Fahrenheit, and so on, at every degree rise of temperature, until the flash occurs, or until a temperature of 95° Fahrenheit has been reached.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST APRIL, 1899.

513

　　　　　If the flash takes place at any temperature below 77° Fahrenheit the temperature at which it occurs is to be recorded. The fresh portions of the sample are then to be successively tested in a similar manner and the results recorded. If no greater difference than 2° Fahrenheit exists between any two of the three recorded results, each result is to be corrected for atmos- pheric pressure, as hereafter described, and the average of the three corrected results is the flashing point of the sample. In the event of there being a greater difference than 2° Fahrenheit between any two of the results, the series of tests is to be rejected and a fresh series of three similarly obtained, and so on until a sufficiently concordant series is furnished, when the results are to be corrected and the average taken in the manner already described.

　　　　　No flash which takes place within eight degrees of the temperature at which the testing is commenced shall be accepted as the true flashing point of the sample tested. In the event of a flash occurring at or below 64° when the test is applied in the manner above described, the next testing shall be commenced ten degrees lower than the temperature at which the flash had been previously obtained (that is to say, at 54° or thereunder) and this procedure shall be continued until the results of three consecutive tests do not show a greater difference than 2o.

If a temperature of 76° Fahrenheit has been reached without a flash occurring, the application of the test-flame is to be continued at every degree rise of temperature until a temperature of 95° Fahrenheit has been reached. If no flash has occurred up to this point, the tests shall not be continued, and the testing officer shall certify that the petroleum has a flashing point of over 95. But if the petroleum is petroleum tar or petroleum fuel, and is declared to liave its flashing point at or above 200°, the test shall be continued as follows:-The oil-cup is to be removed from the water-bath, and the temperature of the water in the water-bath is to be reduced to 95° Fahrenheit by pouring cold water into the funnel (the hot water escaping by the overflow-pipe). The air-chamber is then to be filled to a depth of 1 inches with water at a temperature of about 95° Fahrenheit, the oil-cup is to be replaced in the water-bath, and the spirit-lamp, attached to the water-bath, is to be lighted and placed underneath. The test-flame is then to be again applied, from 96° Fahrenheit, at every degree rise of temperature as indicated by the thermometer in the oil-cup until a flash takes place, or until a tempe- rature of 200° Fahrenheit has been reached. If during this operation the test-flame appears to diminish in size, the lamp is to be replenished in the manner prescribed (at 2) without interrupting the test.

　　　　　If a flash occurs at any temperature between 76° and 200° Fahrenheit, the temperature at which it occurs, subject to correction for atmospheric pressure, is the flashing point of the sample.

In repeating a test, a fresh sample of oil must always be used, the tested sample being thrown away, and the cup must be wiped dry from any adhering oil, and cooled, as already described, before receiving the fresh sample.

5. CORRECTION FOR ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.-As the flashing point of an oil is influenced by changes in atmes- pheric pressure to an average extent of 106 Fahrenheit for every inch of the barometer, a correction of the observed flash- ing point may become necessary. The true height of the barometer must, therefore, be determined at the time of making the test for the flashing point. To facilitate the correction of a flashing point for pressure a table is appended, giving the flashing points of oils ranging from 65° to 80° Fahrenheit, under pressures ranging from 27 to 31 inches of

The table is used in the following manner :-

mercury.

　　　　　EXAMPLE. An oil has given a flashing point of 71°, the barometer being at 28-6; take the nearest number to 71° in the vertical column headed 28.6. This number is 70-8. Substitute for this the number in the same horizontal line in the column headed 30 (the normal height of barometer). The Substituted number, i.e., the true flashing point of the oil, is 73°.

When the levying of any such special rate is ordered by the Governor he may by such order specify the procedure by which payment of such rate may be enforced summarily by a Magistrate, and all Magistrates shall bave jurisdiction so to enforce the same accordingly.

Objects and Reasons.

One of the main objects of this Bill is to establish village tribunals (District and Sub-District Courts) in the new territory for the trial of petty civil and criminal cases; (see Parts II, III and VI of the Ordinance).

Such jurisdiction may not be exercised, without the con- sent of the parties, except in cases where both parties are natives (section 13).

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

An appeal lies from the lowest village tribunal, the Sub- District Court, to the District Court, and from the latter Court to a Magistrate and from the Magistrate to the Gov- ernor (section 24).

The Governor-in-Council is given power to make Rules for the peace, good order, health, cleanliness, good govern- ment and well-being of the new territory and for certain specified purposes (section 7).

The Governor-in-Council is also empowered to make Rules for the levying of contributions for the payment of watchman and for other purposes (section 8).

The District and Sub-District Committees have the duty thrown upon them of enforcing such Rules as aforesaid (section 10), whilst the District and Sub-District Courts have power to punish breaches of any such Rules (section 13).

Section 18 provides a summary punishment for perjury, and section 28 brings the president and members of village bodies and watchmen under the operation of the bribery provisions of Ordinance 3 of 1898.

Section 29 provides for the levying of the whole or any portion of the cost of the police upon a district where good order is not preserved.

2. The expression "new territories" as used in this Ordi- nance shall mean the additional territories acquired by this Colony under the provisions of a Convention, dated the 9th day of June, 1898, between Her Majesty Queen VICTORIA and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China for the enlargement of the limits of this Colony.

6. This Ordinance shall remain in force for a period of Duration of one year from the date of its coming into operation and for Ordinance. such further period or periods as may from time to time be determined by resolution of the Legislative Council.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to confer temporarily power upon the Executive Council of this Colony of making Rules for the collection of revenue from the new territories which have recently been added to this Colony.

This measure is introduced as a temporary expedient in order to remove the difficulties which must necessarily be experienced in dealing with certain sources of revenue which are new to this Colony, and in order to obviate the necessity for, and the delays which would be occasioned by, passing numerous Ordinances and amending Ordinances through the Legislative Council.

Governor,

Sir,

I am now in a position to communicate to you the views of Her Majesty's Government as to the future administration of the territory which, under the Con- vention between the United Kingdom and China of the 9th June last, has been added to the Colony of Hongkong, and to convey to you their instructions as to the steps to be taken for its formal occupation in the name of Her Majesty the QUEEN.

2. I have in the first place to enclose an Order of Her Majesty in Council dated the 20th October last and declaring the territories within the limits and for the term described in the above Convention to be part and parcel of the Colony of Hongkong. You will cause this Order in Council, which has not at present been made public, to be published in the Colony at as early a date as possible.

3. You have already become acquainted with the general aspects of the ques- tions involved in the transfer of this territory, and it is unnecessary therefore that I should here dwell upon them at any length. There are three points which Her Majesty's Government have regarded as of special importance in the preliminary stages of the negotiations. They relate to Kowloon city, the northern boundary of the leased territory, and the collection of the Chinese duties on opium.

4. The questions of the civil administration of Kowloon city and of the extension of the northern frontier so as to include the town of Sham Chun will require no immediate action on your part pending negotiations with the Chinese Government, but-while such negotiations are pending-no time should be lost in giving attention to the third question, that of the prevention of smuggling into

China and the collection of the Chinese Customs duties on opium. You will see that Her Majesty's Government have come to the conclusion, which-if I under- stand right is your own conclusion also, that the only satisfactory solution of this question will be the establishment of some system whereby the Chinese customs duties on opium imported into China from Hongkong, including the newly added territory, shall be actually collected by the Government of Hongkong.

　　　5. I should wish you to understand that in my opinion the new territory should from the outset be regarded as an integral part of the Colony of Hong- kong, and, as such, should be brought under the general administration of the Colony at as early a date as possible. It appears to me that future difficulties will be obviated by taking this course, and that it will be found to be at once more effective and more economical than treating the leased district as separate from the old Colony. It has, therefore, become necessary to consider whether and in what manner the existing laws of Hongkong may be adapted to the circum- stances of the new territory, and this question, as I need hardly observe, presents many features of great difficulty. On the principle that the new territory shall be taken to be and so far as possible be treated as an integral part of the Colony, it is desirable that as many of the existing laws of Hongkong as are applicable to its circumstances should be at once applied, the adininistration of the laws being carried out with tact, discretion, and sympathy with native custom and prejudice; but there are some laws which are inapplicable and they require some special notice.

　　　6. I have taken advantage of the presence in this country of Mr. GOODMAN, Attorney General of Hongkong, and he has drawn up a memorandum on the subject together with a draft Ordinance, copies of which are enclosed. This memorandum has been of great use to me in considering the question, and the conclusions at which I have arrived as regards the various Ordinances therein referred to are as follows:

Ordinance 3 of 1844.-Land, etc. Registration of Deeds, etc., relating

to real property.

　　　7. I concur in Mr. GOODMAN's opinion that for the reasons given by him. this Ordinance need not be excluded. The land question, however, is one which must be dealt with promptly, and one of the first steps to be taken must be the appointment of a Land Commissioner with a staff of native surveyors. subject I refer in a later paragraph of this despatch.

Ordinance 16 of 1896.-Registration of Births and Deaths.

‧

To this

　　　8. I concur in Mr. GOODMAN's opinion that this Ordinance should for the present be excluded. Registration of births and deaths should, however, be carried out as soon as possible, and might be entrusted to the Village Councils and Elders, working under the supervision of an Assistant Registrar General' or other European Officer.

Ordinance 14 of 1875.-Marriage Registrations.

9. I agree with Mr. GOODMAN that this Ordinance need not be excluded.

Ordinance 1 of 1887.-Post Office.

　　　10. I agree with Mr. GOODMAN that this Ordinance need not be excluded. But it has been pointed out to me by Mr. LOCKHART that, owing to the known habits of the Chinese in the matter of correspondence, there may be considerable difficulties in carrying it into operation, and I should wish you to use considerable discretion in the matter. You may possibly find it desirable to come to some arrangement with the Chinese Sub-Post Offices such as is in force in the Straits Settlements, and in that case the Governor of that Colony would doubtless be able to give you every information.

Ordinance 21 of 1887.-Licensing Consolidation.

　　　11. I concur in Mr. GOODMAN's opinion that it would be as well not to extend this Ordinance to the new territory for the present.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

Ordinance 24 of 1887.-Public Health and amending Ordinances.

12. I regard this as one of the most important and at the same time one of the most difficult questions to be considered in connexion with the new territory. I entirely agree with Mr. GOODMAN that the new district must not be left without any sanitary laws, but I consider that it would not be advisable to extend to it without any modification the sanitary laws of Hongkong. It has been represented to me by Mr. LOCKHART that they are too complicated and too advanced for the circumstances of the new territory; and that although the Sanitary Board may be the best machinery for dealing with the sanitary affairs of Hongkong which is in the main a city and a seaport it is not suited for the direction of sanitary matters in a territory extending over 376 square miles. Mr. LOCKHART is of opinion that the Village Councils and Elders should be held responsible for maintaining their villages in a sanitary condition, subject to the inspection and control of an officer of health and his staff, who should be held directly respon- sible to the Government. By this means the Village Councils and Elders will constitute the Sanitary Board in each village or group of villages, the influence of the leading men will be enlisted on the side of sanitation and matters will work more effectively and smoothly than they would under any other system. The expense, moreover, of applying the sanitary laws of Hongkong would, 1 am informed, probably be very great, whereas under the alternative system pro- posed it would be comparatively trifling.

13. I am of opinion, therefore, that these laws should be excluded, but you should lose no time in procuring the enactment of a simpler law on the lincs above suggested, and here again you may possibly find it desirable to consult the Gov- ernor of the Straits Settlements as to the system under which Sanitary Boards are working in the Federated Malay States.

Ordinance 21 of 1886.-Spirit Licenses.

14. I concur in Mr. GOODMAN's opinion that this Ordinance should be exclud- ed for the present.

Ordinance 15 of 1889.--Building Ordinance and amending Ordinance.

15. I concur in Mr. GOODMAN's opinion that these Ordinances should be ex- cluded unless the Director of Public Works reports that they can be satisfactorily carried out in the new territory.

16. 1 agree

Ordinance 5 of 1890.-- Vaccination.

that this Ordinance may properly be included.

Ordinance 26 of 1891.-Merchant Shipping.

17. As a new Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance is about to be introduced it may be advisable to exclude the existing Ordinance from the new territory.

18. There is no question as to the "waters of the Colony," the limits being clearly marked in the map attached to the Convention, a copy of which is annexed,* and which should be closely followed in any definition in the proposed new Ordi-

nance.

Ordinance 17 of 1887.- Cattle Disease and amending Ordinances.

19. Before deciding whether this Ordinance should be extended to the new territory the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon might with advantage be called upon for a report of any recommendations he may be able to make after a full and careful consideration of all the circumstances of the case. But I agree with Mr. GOODMAN that sections 4 and 5 of Ordinance 23 of 1890 dealing with the sale and importa- tion of unwholesome food should be extended at once.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

20. As all Ordinances not specified in the schedule attached to Mr. GOODMAN'S draft Ordinance will apply to the new territory, you should carefully consider whether there are any others not alluded to in his memorandum, which it might be also desirable to exclude.

21. There are various other questions to be considered in connexion with the new territory which will require your careful consideration, and some of which have doubtless already received your attention. I do not propose, however, to do more than refer to them generally at the present moment, as their ultimate decision must depend in a great measure on the course of events.

22. You will have gathered from my previous remarks that I am in favour of utilizing the existing machinery of Government in Hongkong as far as local circumstances will allow. This principle should, therefore, be borne in mind in considering all questions connected with expenditure and taxation. Whatever expenditure is incurred should appear on the Hongkong Estimates, and whatever revenue is collected should go into the Hongkong Exchequer.

23. It will be seen from p. 16 of Mr. LOCKHART's report that the total revenue from taxation of the new territory is estimated at about ￡16,000, and this may be regarded as the income which you will have at your disposal for the first year or two at any rate. It should amply suffice to defray the initial cost of a simple ad- ministration which at first will amount to little more than supervising local bodies and protecting life and property, unless there is a large outlay on public works. Some expenditure on public works will no doubt be necessary from the very first, and as the territory progresses this expenditure may naturally be expected to increase. To meet it Mr. LOCKHART has recommended that recourse should be had to a loan; but, while I am in principle not averse to borrowing for the pur- pose of developing a district, a province, or a colony which promises to be remunerative, I must keep in view the present state of the finances of Hongkong, and if the new territory can be developed without having recourse to a loan it will no doubt be preferable. I shall expect to receive your recommendations on this point after you have considered it in all its bearings. It would, however, I think under any circumstances be desirable that the Director of Public Works, possibly with other expert assistance, should consider and make suggestions as to what public works, in the nature of roads, bridges, police stations, etc. should be undertaken at once, and also to advise as to future undertakings. Whenever money is available for the purpose it will be desirable to secure the services of a mining expert to make a detailed geological report, and I shall be glad if you will bear this latter point especially in mind."

24. The question of titles to land should be settled as early as possible; and in order to expedite the work of registration, holders of land should be allowed to register their titles at an office in the new territory instead of having to waste time by coming to an office in Victoria. The officer, moreover, who is entrusted with the duty of settling the land titles should, within reason, be given for the time being full powers to deal with all questions of the kind that may come before him. When all the land titles have been settled and proper surveys made the principal land office will be in Hongkong itself. The examination into titles should not be of too technical a nature, and where lengthened occupation or improve- ments can be shown, with no adverse claims from private individuals, a Govern- ment title should be granted, even if no other is forthcoming. Security for all reasonable rights in regard to land will be a great inducement to content and loyalty and to the popularizing of British rule.

25. The land question, however, by no means ends here and there will be much left to consider after the preliminary survey is completed. The land tax will no doubt be at first the principal source of revenue, and it should be distinctly understood from the first that, as the land becomes more valuable, the tax will be subject to revision at intervals of years. It will also be necessary to consider what shall be the tenure of Crown land. Seeing that the territory is held under lease for ninety-nine years the question of freehold grants does not arise, and the land should be leased for stated periods, not exceeding the term which I have laid down in the case of the present Colony with powers of resumption on fair terms if the public service requires it.

26. In dealing with the question of what laws of Hongkong should be extended to the new territory I have not made any reference to the administration of the criminal law. In this matter I should wish you to be guided generally by the

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

recommendations made by Mr. LOCKHART. I agree with Mr. LOCKHART that the existing village organizations should be maintained and utilised, and I approve of the immediate appointment of an itinerant Magistrate as suggested. I shall be glad if you will at once select an officer for provisional appointment in this capacity. An appeal should lie to the itinerant Magistrate from the village tribunals, and from him to the Governor, this latter course being preferable in my opinion to an appeal to the Supreme Court. An Ordinance will be necessary, framed on the lines of the Ceylon Ordinance No. 24 of 1889 to legalise and define the powers of the village and district Councils or tribunals.

　　　　　27. I have now touched upon what appears to me to be the most important questions for your immediate consideration. You will gather from what I have said that while I differ from some of the conclusions at which Mr. LOCKHART has arrived, I nevertheless concur generally in the recommendations which he has made in his report. Although I am unable to entertain the idea of a separate administration of the new territory under a resident Commissioner, I consider it highly desirable that Mr. LOCKHART should be generally associated with its administration; and with this object in view, he should for the next six months, at any rate, be relieved as far as possible from the ordinary duties of Colonial Secretary and Registrar General. It will probably be desirable that he should be permanently relieved of the duties of the latter office, but on this subject I will address you later.

28. Whatever other provisional appointments may be rendered necessary by these arrangements, I must leave for the present in your hands.

　　　　　29. I hope that in the foregoing observations I have succeeded in conveying to you a general expression of my views on this important and interesting subject. But there is much that must necessarily be left to yourself, and I feel that I have been unable to do more than give you an outline of the policy which it is desirable that you should pursue. I have, however, every confidence in your ability to carry the undertaking to a successful issue; and I will conclude with an expression of my congratulations to you on finding yourself in the position of the representative of Her Majesty the QUEEN on the occasion of the assumption of jurisdiction over this most important addition to Her Majesty's dominions.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

J. CHAMBERLAIN.

REPORT.

537

The territory, including the islands, which China has agreed to lease to Great Britain under the Convention signed at Peking on the 9th June last (Appen- dix 1.), appertains to the district of San On in the province of Kwong-tung, and is indicated generally on Map I.,* which is a copy of the map attached to the Cou- vention.

MAPS AND PHOTOGRAPHS.

In order to facilitate consideration of this territory, a map of it has been spe- cially prepared by Mr. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works, Hongkong (Map II.), based on the excellent map made by Bishop VOLONTIERI in 1866, when a Mission- ary of the Propaganda in Sun On (Map III.),* and a series of photographic views has been taken, unfortunately in weather not always favourable for the photographer, by Corporal WHITEWOOD, R.E., under the superintendence of Lieut. RUNDALL, R.E., and by Mr. XAVIER, Surveyor in the Public Works Department, Hongkong. These maps and photographs, to the latter of which have been added a few taken by AFONG and MEE CHEUNG, photographers, Hongkong, are attached.*

PHYSICAL FEATURES.

The new territory is mountainous, with rich, extensive, cultivated valleys, and possesses a coast line deeply indented by bays.

The coast to the south and east is bold and rugged, with deep water close up to the cliffs, and numerous land-locked bays, affording good anchorages, which render then safe in all kinds of weather. The heads of the inlets of Mirs Bay, such as Starling Inlet, Taipo Hu Bay, and Tide Cove, or Sha Tin Inlet, are shal- low, the tide at low water leaving a mile or more of sand or mud exposed. Deep Bay in the west is extremely shallow, and at low tide miles of mud can be seen. This bay has, however, a deep channel, which is well known to native boatmen. No proper survey of the bay has ever been made. This should be taken in hand as soon as possible; and in the meantime the deep channel should be properly marked, in order to facilitate the navigation of these waters.

A report on the Harbours in Mirs Bay, with which Commander DE HORSEY, of H.M.S. Plover, kindly furnished me, will be found in Appendix No. 1a.

The general trend of the mountain system is north-east and south-west. There are two main ranges--the southern range and the northern range. The southern range extends from Sharp Peak, which forms the south point of Mirs Bay, to the peaks opposite Stonecutters Island, and may be regarded as ending in the mountains of the island of Lantao. The most noticeable peaks in this range are Sharp Peak, 1,540 feet high, with one spur to the north, 1,630 feet high, and another spur running into Tolo Harbour, ending in the magnificent twin peaks named on English Maps the Hunchback Hills, and called by the Chinese "Saddle Mountain," with a height of 2,305 feet; peaks 1,895, 1,440, and 1,240 feet high immediately to the North of Kowloon City, ending in a peak 1,600 feet high to the north of Taikok tsui. The southern range here drops rapidly into Hongkong Harbour, opposite Stonecutters Island, but re-appears in the Island of Lantao, where it reaches an elevation of 3,050 feet near the west end of the island.

The northern range extends from Crooked Harbour in the north of Mirs Bay to Castle Peak Bay and the southern point of Deep Bay. It commences with elevations of 1,655 feet, 1,500 feet, and 1,200 feet, and in the Pat Sin Ling, or Eight Peak Mountain, north of Tolo Harbour, attains to a height of 1,857 feet. From Tolo Harbour it trends south-west, with elevations varying from 1,300 to 1,500 feet, until it reaches its highest point in the splendid range of Taimo Snan, which rises to a height of 3,000 feet. It then decreases in elevation in the direc- tion of Castle Peak, which is 1,806 feet high, but has a lower spur to the north, forming the southern arm of Deep Bay, in which there are two peaks rising to an elevation of 1,200 feet.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

　　　Besides these two main ranges, there are cross ranges of lesser altitude, which divide the watershed between Mirs Bay and Deep Bay with low hills in some of the valleys.

　　　The heights of the mountains are taken from the map sketched by Lieutenant E. G. YOUNG, R.E., which gives a clear idea of the mountain system of the new territory. (Map IV.)*

WATERSHEDS.

　　　The watersheds of the territory being as a rule close to the east and south coasts, the more extensive valleys and plains lie to the west and north, and drain into Deep Bay. Such are the valleys of which the town of Sham Chun is the centre, and the valleys and plains of Pat Heung and Shap Pat Heung, lying to the north-west of the range of Taimo Shan. A remarkable feature in the Shap Pat Heung plains is the abrupt and clearly-defined line between hill and plain. The plain extends from the shores of Deep Bay for some miles into the interior, never reaching an elevation of more than 10 or 15 feet above high water mark, but from this point the hills rise abruptly at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees.

RIVER SYSTEM.

　　　The river system, like the mountain system, is divided into two sections-a northern and a southern. The chief river of the northern section and the largest in the territory is the Sham Chun river, which has three branches or tributaries, a northern, an eastern and a southern. The northern branch rises in the mountains on the borders of the Tung Kun and San On districts, and, flowing in a south- westerly direction, joins the main river to the west of Sham Chun; the eastern branch rises in the low hills west of Starling Inlet, and flows in a westerly direc- tion, joining the main river to the east of Sham Chun; the southern branch has its source in Kau Lung Hang, to the north of Taipo Hu, and flows in a north-westerly direction, falling into the main river a mile below Sham Chun. All these branches are good-sized mountain streams, and most valuable as irriga- tors of the cultivated land through which they flow. They are, however, of no value as highways of trade, as they are too shallow to be navigated by even small craft. The Sham Chun river, from the town of Sham Chun to its mouth, is at high tide from 60 to 80 feet wide, has a depth of 7 to 12 feet, and is navigable for junks and launches. The bar at its mouth is about 6 or 7 feet in depth, and is reported at low tide to be only 3 feet in depth.

The Sham Chun river system is separated from the Un-Long and Kam Tin, or southern river system, by the Kai Kung T'au range of mountains. The Un- Long river rises in the northern slope of the Taimo Shan range, and, flowing in a northerly direction, empties itself into Deep Bay. The Kam T'in river, which has its source at the foot of Taimo Shan, flows in a north-westerly direction, joining the Un-Long river at the village of Kam Tin. The Un-Long river is navigable by small junks as far as Un-Long, a market town three miles distant from Deep Bay to the north.

　　　The Kam Tin river has a depth of from three to six feet at high tide all the way from its mouth in Deep Bay to the town of Kam Tin, a distance of about six miles.

　　　The first steamer that ever went up this river was the pinnace of H.M.S. Plover, which had no difficulty in conveying the members of the Commission as far as the market town of Kam T'in, with a cutter in tow.

　　　Within the basins of these two river systems are found the most fertile soil and the most populous villages in the area about to be leased.

WATER SUPPLY.

　　　The water supply appears to be excellent everywhere. During the month of August, when the inspection of the territory was made, there were streams of water pouring down the hill sides in every direction, and the village wells contained ample water, as a rule within six or eight feet of the surface. Sufficient water to raise two crops of rice a year seems always to be available throughout the district.

539

It is probable that the high mountain ranges attract more rain clouds from. the China Sea during the south-west monsoon than is the case at Hongkong, where the average rainfall is 90 inches. Mr. ORMSBY is of opinion that in many places the construction of storage reservoirs, if required, will be a simple matter. He considers that the construction of such a reservoir on the southern or eastern slope of Taimo Shan for the supply of Kowloon is very desirable, in order to meet the wants of the rapidly increasing towns on that peninsula, by gravitation, and thus set free the large acreage now reserved as a catchment area, and render it possible to dispense with the present expensive pumping establishment.

IRRIGATION.

Irrigation of the paddy fields is effected simply by leading the water along the sides of the hills by means of channels, from which the water is allowed to run on to the terraced fields as required. In addition to the ordinary paddy fields in the valleys, works of reclamation have been carried out, by which a large quantity of land has been reclaimed from the sea. Walls of rough rubble, backed by earth, have been constructed to keep out the water. Along the top of these embankments there is a foot path, and sluices made, of timber planking sliding in grooves cut into the stone side walls enable the villagers to keep out the sea and get rid of their surplus fresh water at low tide. By the improvement and extension of such works of reclamation, many large areas could be brought under cultivation.

GEOLOGY.

An interesting report by Mr. ORMSBY on the geology of the district will be found in Appendix II.

I agree with him that a mining expert should be deputed to examine and report on the minerals in the territory. There is no such expert at present resident in Hongkong, so it will be necessary to secure the services of a suitable person at home.

SOIL.

The soil is formed from the decomposition of volcanic trap rock in the north- east and east, and is alluvial in the broad valleys drained by the Sham Chun and Un-Long rivers. It is generally fertile, and yields annually two crops of rice. Even the hillsides are in many places brought under cultivation, and rice was found growing at a height of over 1,200 feet.

By the Chinese the soil is divided into three classes, and is taxed according to its quality. The first class is supposed to pay about 36 cents per acre; the second class about 24 cents, and the third class about 15 cents per acre. reality, much more than these amounts is levied, though not officially accounted

for.

Payment in kind is also made, but this payment is commuted for a money payment at the rate of 4.8 taels, or $6.67 per picul of rice (a picul is equal to 1 bushel 2 pecks 2 quarts).

PRODUCTS.

Rice is the principal article of cultivation and the quality of this product is so highly esteemed that a quantity of it is exported to San Francisco for the use of the Chinese resident there. There is also a large area of land devoted to the growing of sugar cane, indigo, hemp, peanuts, potatoes of different varieties, yam, taro, beans, sesamum, pumpkins, and vegetables of all kinds.

Experiments are now being made to ascertain whether the cotton plant will flourish in the newly-leased area, and there seems to be no reason, as far as soil and climate are concerned, why these experiments should not succeed. If they are successful, the cotton mill which is now being erected in Hongkong would find this a convenient source of supply for at any rate a portion of its raw material.

FRUITS.

The fruits are pumeloes, pineapples, oranges, lungngans, pears, lichis, persim- mons, pomegranates, wongp'is, and mangoes.

VEGETATION.

The mountain ranges and lower hills are covered with vegetation, and culti- vation is found high up on the hill sides. In some places a crop of rice was growing at an elevation of 1,300 feet, and on the northern slope of the Taimo

...

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

Shan range tea and pineapple were observed growing at an elevation of 1,500 feet. The range of Taimo Shan, stretching to the west towards Castle Peak Bay, is covered with good grass, which appeared to be such as would suit cattle, horses, and sheep, many thousands of which could find pasturage on the slopes of these hills. At present cattle are used entirely for agricultural purposes. The animals seen were small and well shaped, and generally black or red in colour. Their good condition showed the excellence of the pasturage. In the poorer and rocky soil the hills are covered with bracken and ferns, and in the sheltered ravines with brushwood and scrub jungle. There are no extensive forests, but some of the lower hills are clothed with pine trees, and round many of the villages are found thick clumps of well-grown trees and groves of bamboo.

CULTIVATED LAND.

The valleys between the hills and the land between the bases of the hills and the sea are all under cultivation. It is impossible in the absence of any reliable statistics to form an accurate estimate of the extent of land under cultivation. The land registers of the district, which ought to be a reliable guide, are worse than useless, as they contain not more than half the land under cultivation. From in- formation received from a reliable source it appears that the land under cultivation is about double the amount shown in the registers. These give the land under cultivation in the San On District, on which taxes are paid, in round figures, as 420,000 mau,* or, say, 60,000 acres, the double of which would make 840,000 mau, or 120,000 acres. Taking the area to be leased as three-fifths of the whole of the district of San On, the total extent of land under cultivation in that area would amount to 504,000 mau, or 72,000 acres. The total area of the new territory is 376 square miles, or 240,640 acres. Deducting the land under cultivation, viz., 72,000 acres, from the total area, 240,640 acres, leaves a balance of 168,640 acres avail- able as Crown land.

This calculation presumes that all the land under cultivation is owned by private individuals, but from inquiries made, there is reason to believe that a con- siderable portion of cultivated land is held without any proper title, and that most of, if not all, the land reclaimed from the sea has never been officially reported to the Government. Both classes of land, though fairly large in extent, have hither- to, it is understood, evaded the payment of taxes.

The land question will be a difficult one to deal with, and as it will affect practically the entire population, the members of which are particularly sensitive on the subject of their holdings, it should be taken in hand at once, and settled as quickly as possible.

To do this effectively, and in a manner that will be satisfactory to both the Government and the owners of property, it will be necessary to hold an inquiry into cach title. Such inquiry will involve an accurate survey of each holding, and, as the quantity of land held by individuals is, as a rule, very small, it will require much time and labour to complete the necessary surveys.

I recommend that, as soon as the territory has been taken over, a notice be issued informing the inhabitants that all claims to land must be filed in the Land Office within a period of six months, and that all lands not claimed within that period will revert to Government.

Wherever a claim is lodged, an inquiry into the title of the claimant should be held, and, if that is satisfactory, a survey of the land in question should be made.

　To facilitate a speedy settlement of the land question, a large staff of surveyors should be engaged for the first year or two.

ISLANDS.

There are thirty-three islands within the leased territory. Some of these are uninhabited, and most of them are very small and of little or no importance.

The total area of the islands is 90 square miles, and the estimated population 13,720.

The island of Lantao is about 15 miles long and 5 miles wide, being consi- derably larger than the island of Hongkong, which is 11 miles long and from 2 to 5 miles broad. Along the west coast are several towns and some cultivated land up to the base of the hills. These hills, which are really a continuation of the southern range of the mountain system of the San On district, present a most imposing appearance, and contain lofty peaks, the highest of which rises to an elevation of 3,050 feet. The two most flourishing towns in Lantao are Tung Chung, containing nine villages, the inhabitants of which are engaged in agricul- ture and fishing; and Tai O, the busiest town on the island, with a population of 3,000. The latter is a great fishing centre, and owing to the large number of fishing junks and other vessels that visit it, the shopkeepers seem to do a flourish- ing business. The only representatives of the Chinese Government on the island are two military officers, one, a captain, stationed at Tung Chung, the other, a lieutenant, stationed at Tai O, subject to the colonel commanding stationed at Taip'ang on the mainland. The island of Lantao contains magnificent building sites, and, as it is only five miles from Hongkong, and open to the south-west monsoon during the hot months, it is not unlikely that the residents of Hongkong may during the summer make use of this island, the fine white sandy beaches of which afford excellent sea-bathing.

The island of Ch'eung Chau is a busy place, at which many of the steamers, launches, and junks plying between Hongkong and Macao call. There is a station of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs on this island, as there is also on the island of Ma Wan, commonly known as the Kap Shui Mun Station (see Map XI.) ? The deep anchorage at Ch'eung Chau affords good shelter, especially during an easterly gale.

The island of Lamma, called by the Chinese Pok Liu, is four miles long and two miles wide. Near its centre it is so narrow that it is only a quarter of a mile across. The chief bay is Picnic Bay, on the east side, which affords secure anchor- age for a vessel in about 6 fathoms of water. This island has four villages, the largest of which has a population of about 250.

The island of Waglan, situated to the south-east of Hongkong, has a lighthouse on it, which is at present under the control of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, and which will, I presume, in future be placed under the Harbour Master of Hongkong.

Admiralty Chart No. 1180 (Map V.)* gives clearly the size and position of all the islands within the new extension.

POPULATION.

There are no reliable statistics possessed by the Chinese Government of the present population of the San On District. No census appears to have been taken for many years. It has, therefore, been necessary to base an estimate of the popu lation on inquiries made from the inhabitants of the villages and on personal in- spection of the villages themselves. With these as guides it is estimated that the population of the new territory, including the Sham Chun and Shat'au Kok divi- sions, and allowing 5,000 for that portion of the Shat'au division, which will most probably be included in the new area, amounts in round figures to one hundred thousand (100,000).

Map VI.,* giving the population and divisions of the area to be leased, shows how this population is spread over the mainland and islands.

* This estimate was obtained from the officer of the Chinese Customs stationed at Ch'eung Chau.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

The population is contained in six main divisions, inhabiting 423 villages. These villages vary in population from 10 to 5,000 persons.

　The eastern portion of the district, being more mountainous and less fertile, is not so thickly populated as the western portion. The Un Long Tung, or the division including the fertile valleys and plains of Pat Heung and Shap Pat Heung, is the most populous, its population, amounting to 23.020, being distributed among 59 villages. The Sheung U Tung or western division, though much larger in area than the Un Long division, contains a population of only 20,870, distributed among no fewer than 182 villages.

　The total area of the territory to be leased being 376 square miles, the popu- lation is about 266 persons to the square mile. Though by no means at present thickly populated, it is anticipated that when the new territory comes under British occupation its population will rapidly increase.

VILLAGES.

The total number of villages amounts to 423. The houses in these villages are, as a rule, well and solidly built. The foundations and lower courses of their walls are, in

　　　　many cases, of granite masonry, the upper courses being made of blue or sun-dried bricks. The door posts and lintels are of dressed granite slabs with tiled roofs on rafters made of China fir. The floors are generally concreted, and frequently paved with red brick or with granite. Well built and handsomely decorated temples exist in all the important villages, and in many places large and expensively constructed buildings, in which the ancestral tablets are kept, were

seen.

As usual in China the streets are narrow and paved with large slabs of stone. Such drainage as exists is on the surface, underground drains never being used in Chinese villages.

There are several walled villages in the territory, which are invariably inhabited by the members of one clan only. They are rectangular or square in shape, and are enclosed within brick walls about 16 feet in height, flanked by square towers, and surrounded by a moat some 40 feet in width. They have one entrance, protected with iron gates. Within the walls, houses of the usual type are found, built with great regularity. There is one main street from either side of which small lanes branch off in parallel rows. The object of these villages being walled is to afford the inhabitants greater security in case of attack, and to place them in a stronger position of defence in the event of clan feuds, which were formerly very cominon, and are still not infrequent. In one of the villages visited was found a temple specially dedicated to the memory of those members of the clan who had fallen in the fights against a neighbouring village. The feud between these two villages, the inhabit- ants of which are descended from a common ancestor and possess the same surname, extended over many years, during which great numbers were killed. Peace has now been restored, and we had the pleasure of being entertained at the same table by the heads of the two villages which were so long at enmity with each other.

Those who are able to express an opinion on the subject state that the villages in the territory compare favourably with those of Southern India and Ceylon.

Appendix 5 contains a list of the name and population of each village in the area to be leased.

INHABITANTS.

　The inhabitants are composed of three races of Chinese: the Puntis, the Hak- kas, and the Tankas.

The Puntis, or Cantonese, as they are termed by Europeans, belong to the race which is supposed to have come from the provinces bordering on the south of the Yangtsz river. The term Punti means " Natives of the soil"; but the exist- ence of aborigines in many parts of the Kwong-tung province shows that the Puntis were not the aboriginal inhabitants.

It is not improbable that they commenced to find their way to the south of China during the early periods of Chinese history. At any rate they were firmly established in the south during the time of the Southern Sung Dynasty, which reigned from A.D. 1127 to A.D. 1278. Most of the Punti inhabitants easily trace their descent from ancestors who were settled in the San On district in that period.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

543

The Puntis speak the dialect commonly known as Cantonese. Their population amounts to 64,140, and is contained in 161 villages. They chiefly inhabit the valleys, especially those drained by the Sham Chun and Un Long rivers. Their main pursuit is that of agriculture; but they are also excellent traders, and full of that enterprise for which as a race the Cantonese are so justly famous.

The Hakkas, or Strangers," as the term signifies, are supposed to be des- cended from the Mongols, and to have reached the southern provinces of China when the Mongol Dynasty was overthrown, about the middle of the 14th century. They are regarded by the Puntis as aliens, and speak a dialect quite distinct from Cantonese. The villages occupied by the Hakkas are 255 in number, containing a population of 36,070. As a rule their villages are inhabited solely by members of their own race, just as the Punti villages are inhabited only by Cantonese, though there are a few villages in which both races are represented. The Hakkas are a hardy and frugal race, and are generally found in the hill districts, their chief suits being agriculture and quarrying.

pur-

The Tankas, or boat people, form the floating population, of which it has not been possible to obtain even an estimate, except in the case of the islands, where they have been included in the general population. They form a class by them- selves and are looked down upon by the land population. They inhabit the creeks, harbours, waterways, and the islands, and make excellent sailors, being very clever in the handling of junks and smaller craft. They are also largely engaged in fishing.

Appendix 3 shows how the various races are distributed throughout the area. Taken as a whole the inhabitants may be regarded as an industrious, frugal, and well-behaved people. During the inspection of the territory they gave us an excellent reception except in two instances, one of which was so marked that it was necessary to bring the conduct of the villagers concerned to the notice of the Viceroy of the two Kwong Provinces, who will, it is hoped, deal with the matter in a proper manner. There are, of course, bad characters and rowdies to be found among the population, and one or two villages have earned an unenviable notoriety for lawlessness, but there ought to be no difficulty in bringing such characters and places under proper control, and putting an end to the present state of affairs.

The inhabitants, though by no means wealthy, seem to be, as a rule, comfort- ably well off, and able to earn an honest livelihood without difficulty. Few signs of anything approaching destitution were seen, and only a few beggars were met. From information received it appears that there are only 1,600 beggars through- out the whole of the San On district, the majority of whom are said to be outside the new territory.

INDUSTRIES.

The population is chiefly occupied in the cultivation of the soil with the various crops produced. But in addition to agricultural pursuits there are large fisheries, in which many persons are engaged, in the bays surrounding the territory on the east, south, and west, fishing being carried on chiefly by means of stake- The fish are sorted, salted, and sun-dried, and exported to various markets. The trade in salt fish is one of the most important, and employs a large number of

nets.

persons.

Pearl fisheries exist in Tolo harbour, where pearls of value are said to be sometimes found.

In addition to salt-water fish the rearing of fresh-water fish in ponds for the Hongkong market and elsewhere occupies the attention of the villagers of the Un Long division.

The cultivation of oysters is also carried on to a large extent, especially in Deep Bay.

Lime burning is an important industry, coral and oyster-shells being burnt in the place of lime-stone. The largest lime-burning works seen were near Castle Peak Bay, where coal obtained from Hongkong was being used as fuel. Lime was also being burnt at Taipo Hu, Shat'au Kok, Sha Tin, Ts'un Wan, P'ing Shan, and other places visited. It is understood that a great deal of the lime used in Hongkong is imported from the San On district.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

　　　The manufacture of bricks and the quarrying of stones enable the inhabitants to obtain building material at a cheap rate.

　　　Salt is manufactured in several places. Salt pans were seen at Shat'au Kok and Castle Peak Bay.

　　　The indigo grown in the district is used for dyeing cloth, both men and women being engaged in the work of dyeing.

Boatbuilding is carried on. A boatbuilding shed was seen on the shores of Mirs Bay.

　　　A large establishment exists near Ts'un Wan for the manufacture of joss- powder, out of which joss-sticks, used in the worship of idols, are made. The powder is made from fragrant wood, which is pounded into dust by means of water-wheels, six of which were seen at work.

　　　Although there is a large force of water throughout the territory available for water-power, this is the only instance in which we saw water utilised for manu- facturing purposes.

　　　Ropes and nets are manufactured out of the hemp which was observed growing in various places.

　　　One village we visited was engaged entirely in the manufacture of pottery, the clay for which is found in the mountain immediately above the village. The villagers are said to have learned the art of manufacturing pottery from an Italian missionary who formerly resided amongst them.

In almost every village is carried on the rearing of pigs, large numbers of which are exported annually.

　　　Pine trees are grown, and cut down for firewood, which is an important article of export.

Poultry breeding and fruit growing for the Hongkong market form lucrative occupations for many villages.

With the introduction of capital, which is sure to follow when the territory comes under British occupation, and with that feeling of greater security which just government is bound to inspire, the present industries will be greatly deve- loped, and new industries will be created.

PRESENT ROADS AND BRIDGES.

ROADS.

There are no roads in the ordinary acceptation of that term in the territory. Communication between the villages and market towns is effected by means of footpaths, which are about five feet wide, paved with slabs of granite. Through the land under cultivation the paths are merely the ridges between adjacent fields. The paths across the hill ranges have been traced with care, and at fairly easy gradients. At all crossings stones are erected informing travellers which road to follow to reach such centres as Sham Chun, Un Long, and Kowloon. On Map II.* the routes traversed by the Commission are shown, as well as some other paths, the general direction of which has been ascertained.

BRIDGES.

Crossings over all the small streams are effected by means of huge blocks of stone. The wider streams are crossed by bridges. The largest bridge we saw is near Taipo Hu. It is well constructed of some 10 or 12 spans, 15 feet in width. The piers are of good masonry in mortar; the platform is constructed of granite slabs, laid side by side, 18 to 20 feet in length, and there is a handrail of iron bars. In the same locality there is another bridge, of similar construction, consisting of three spans of 15 feet each.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

PROPOSED NEW ROADS.

545

In order to facilitate the development of the country, and to render its admi- nistration easier, it is most important that proper roads should be constructed. On this point I have consulted Mr. ORMSBY, whose recommendations, in which I concur, are embodied in a memorandum (see Appendix 4), with which he kindly furnished me. The roads recommended by Mr. ORMSBY are marked on Map II*.

TELEGRAPHS.

There is a telegraph line, marked on Map II*., which runs from Hongkong through the newly-leased territory to Canton. The line itself, posts, and wires, up to the present boundary between Chinese and British Kowloon, are owned and maintained by the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company. Beyond the British. boundary the line is the property of the Chinese Imperial Government, which has a telegraph office in Hongkong. It would, I presume, be possible, to make arrange- ments for using the existing line; but on many grounds it appears to be preferable to construct a separate and independent line. If it be ultimately decided to establish the headquarters of the Government at Taipo Hu, which seems to be the most central position, it will be sufficient, at any rate to begin with, to construct a line from Hongkong via Kowloon, and over the pass in the hills behind the latter place, directly to Taipo Hu-a distance of say 10 or 12 miles.

It is estimated that the cost of such a line would amount to $5,000 or $6,000.

RAILWAY.

The construction of a railway between Canton and Kowloon has been mooted for a long time, and some years ago a survey of the country. through which a line might pass, was made on behalf of a syndicate of Chinese. But the scheme appears to have been abandoned, and nothing more was heard of it until quite recently, when it again came under consideration, and is, I understand, at present being discussed.

If a railway be constructed between Canton and Kowloon, there can be no doubt that such a line would greatly aid the development of the new territory, through a portion of which it would pass, and would be of great commercial and political importance, as it would unite more closely with Hongkong the great com- mercial city of Southern China and the many towns lying between the city of Canton and that colony.

In the event of a main line being constructed to Canton, it would, no doubt, be advisable to establish branch lines, connecting with the main line, in that portion of the new territory through which the main line will not pass.

It has also been suggested that, even if the Canton-Kowloon line be not. established at once, light railways should be constructed in the new area. They would, no doubt, help to develop it and increase its population by attracting people to it, but roads seem to be the first requisite, and should be attended to as soon as possible.

PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF THE SAN ON DISTRICT.

Civil Officers.

The district of San On, within which the area about to be leased is situated, is included in the jurisdiction of the Viceroy of the two Kwong Provinces, who lives at Canton.

The chief civil officer of the district is the magistrate, who resides at Namt'au, and who is responsible to the Viceroy for the good government of the whole district, and whose duties are both judicial and executive.

Under the magistrate are an assistant magistrate and two deputy magistrates. The assistant magistrate resides at Taip'ang. One deputy magistrate is stationed at Fukwing, north-west of Namt'au, the other within the city of Kowloon.

The assistant and deputy magistrates have power to make arrests and conduct preliminary inquiries, but should refer most cases to the magistrates for final decision.

* Not printed.

-9-

546

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

　　　The magistrate is aided in his duties by secretaries or shihye, who are placed in charge of the departments dealing with crime, revenue, aud official correspond- ence, and by a staff of police or runners, whose duties are referred to more in detail under the head of police.

The magistrate may inflict corporal punishment, and possesses the power of imprisonment, but is not empowered to sentence prisoners to death.

Military Officers.

　　　In addition to the civil officers there are several military officers in the dis- trict. The highest of these is the Taip'ang Hip or colonel commanding at Taip- ang, a town to the north-east of Mirs Bay. This officer has also quarters at Kowloon, and for this reason is commonly known as the Kowloon Mandarin. He is under the control of the General or Ti Tu of the Kwongtung province, and has under his command several officers and some troops.

Map VII.* shows where the various officials are stationed. It will be ob- served from this map that as a rule the petty military officers, who control the islands, do not reside on them, but have their headquarters at Taip'ang, on the mainland.

Prisons.

There is one main prison, situated at Namt'au, and under the control of an officer entitled Tien Shih. The prison is built to accommodate 120 persons, but is seldom occupied by more than 30 or 40. In addition to the prison there are six lock-ups, one for each of the four Tung or Divisions, into which the district. is diviedd, and two under the control of the deputy magistrates, for detaining persons pending trial.

Police.

There are two classes of police in the district. One class, called ch'ai or runners, is stationed in the district city under the control of the magistrate. They are about 60 in number and are sent, as occasion requires, throughout the district for a variety of purposes, including the making of arrests, the collecting of the land tax, and acting generally as the eyes and ears of the magistrate. They receive no pay from Government, but manage to earn a fair livelihood by illicit squeezes.

In addition to this class of police, there are, in each village throughout the district, at least two kang fu or village constables, who are appointed by the village, and paid out of contributions made by the villagers according to the extent of their holdings in land. Large villages have five or six constables, the head constable being styled Tipo. Their duty is to keep watch, especially at night. They have the power of arrest, which is deputed to them by the gentry and elders of the village.

Local Government in the Villages.

If a person is arrested by a village constable, he is taken before the gentry and elders of the village, who assemble in a place specially appointed for the pur- pose. The gentry and elders, who are the representatives of the clans inhabiting the villages, are selected by the inhabitants to deal with cases in the village council. The usual cases are those of theft, disputes about land, domestic squabbles, and cases of debt. Most of these cases are summarily dealt with by the village council. and as a rule the decision of that council is accepted as final. But if either of the parties to a case is dissatisfied, he can appeal to a council of the Tung, or to a general council, made up of representatives of the different Tung. A reference to Map VI.* will show how the newly leased territory is divided into Tung or Divisions. Each council of a Tung contains representatives of the villages which make up the Tung. In addition to a council of a Tung there is a general council for the whole of the Tung Lo or Eastern Section, which is practically that portion of the district of San On contained in the map attached to the Convention (Map I.)*. This general council is styled the Tung P'ing Kuk or Council of l'eace for the Eastern Section. It has its council chamber at the market town of Sham Chun, which is regarded as the centre of the Eastern Section.

If the decision of the council of the Tung or of the General Council is not regarded as satisfactory, an appeal lies to the magistrate of the district.

THE PROPOSED FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF THE NEWLY LEASED TERRITORY.

I am of opinion that in the future government of the newly leased area, the organization at present in existence should be as far as possible utilised.

Public Works.

The chief work of this Department will be to erect buildings and to construct roads and piers. A staff consisting of one assistant engineer, a draughtsman, two clerks, and a few overseers would suffice at first. The officers of this Department should, I think, be under the supervision of the Director of Public Works of Hongkong, so that the new territory may have the benefit of the experience and advice of that officer. I may mention that the present Director of Public Works, Mr. ORMSBY, is of opinion that the supervision of the public works in the new territory can, without difficulty, be arranged from Hongkong.

Police.

A European should be appointed as head of the police, and should have under him a Chief Inspector, 4 European Sergeants, and an Indian Sergeant, to act as Jemadar of the Indian Police. A force of at least 30 Chinese and 20 Indians. should be enrolled and stationed at headquarters or other convenient places, from whence they could patrol the territory in different directions, in order to maintain peace and good order, and to protect the lives and property of the inhabitants. This force should be properly drilled and partially mounted. A detective force of 15 men will also be required. The existing system of village constables should be maintained, the Tipo, or head constable, being held responsible to the Watch Committee of the village for the good order of the village. The number of these village constables in the Tung Lo, or Eastern section, must be over 1,000. Their pay, which is at present defrayed by the villages, is very small, and will, no doubt, have to be increased in order to secure efficiency. It is hoped that this large force may be gradually improved and converted into a well disciplined force of military police. To begin with, however, it will be necessary to take them as they are, and make the best possible use of their services.

The village council should, for purposes of police, act as a watch committee, and control the village constables, the Tipo being in the first instance responsible to them.

With regard to the policing of the islands, an Indian and 3 native Chinese should be stationed on the island of Ch'eung Chau, and the same number of men at Tai'O, in the island of Lantao. These police should be under the inmediate supervision of a European Inspector, with headquarters at Ch'eung Chau, who should have at his disposal a launch armed with a machine gun, and a crew, who should be properly drilled. With this launch he would be able to visit regularly all the islands in the new territory. Lamma Island, which is immediately adjacent, to Hongkong, might be policed from Aberdeen. The Putoi Group might also be placed under Hongkong so far as the policing of them is concerned.

Launches.

In addition to the launch for visiting the islands, another launch will be required for the east of the new territory, and a pinnace for Deep Bay and its neighbourhood in the west. Each of these vessels should be armed with a quick- firing gun, and commanded by a European, who should have under him a crew trained to the use of arms.

Judicial.

I recommend that the village tribunals be retained, and that they be allowed. to exercise their present powers under proper supervision. A precedent for this exists in Ceylon, where an ordinance entitled the "Village Communities Ordinance (No. 24 of 1889) is in force, and which, I think, might with slight modifications be adopted for the village communities in the new territory. In this opinion Mr. BREWIN, the Acting Registrar General of Hongkong, the Hon. Ho KAI, and the Hon. WAI YUK, the Chinese members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, whom I consulted, concur.

-11-

548

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

cort As in Ceylon, records of all the cases tried should be carefully kept and re- gularly inspected from time to time by a travelling magistrate, who should exer- cise strict supervision over the native tribunals. This officer should have a knowledge of Chinese and of law.

An appeal to the council of a Tung should lie from a decision of a village. tribunal. The resident should be the final court of appeal in all matters, civil or criminal, cognizable by native tribunals.

In criminal matters offences punishable by death, as well as offences such as piracy, arson, treason, forgery, highway robbery, burglary, &c., should be heard before the Hongkong Police Magistrate, and, if there is a prima facie case, be com- mitted by him for trial.

Prison.

As to prison accommodation I recommend that a gaol large enough to accom- modate 50 persons be established.

The head of the police should discharge the duties of superintendent. The Chief Inspector should act as chief warder, and the other warders could be second- ed from the police. The prison should be situated at headquarters where the Commissioner resides.

In addition to the main prison, there should be in each Tung a lock-up for detaining prisoners pending trial or transfer to the chief prison; and in each village accommodation should be provided in the watch-house for detaining pri- soners pending trial before the village tribunal.

Medical and Sanitary.

A European medical officer should be appointed to look after the officers of the Government, and superintend generally sanitary matters throughout the ter- ritory. He should have under him a staff consisting of two Chinese assistants trained in Western medical science, who would aid him in the work of supervising medical and sanitary matters throughout the villages. A small hospital should be erected at headquarters, and in course of time dispensaries should be established at different points in the territory.

For purposes of sanitation the council and head constable in each village should co-operate with the medical authority, and should be encouraged to keep their villages in a cleanly condition.

Education.

　　　At present every village of any size in the territory has at least one, school, in which the Chinese Classics are taught. The schoolmaster's salary is paid by the villagers. In addition to these schools there is at Namt'au, the chief city of the district, a college or Shu Un, under a Director and Assistant Director of Studies, in which candidates for the first and higher degrees may study. These candidates, who are commonly known as Tung Shang, have already passed two examinations-one, held by the magistrate of the district, and one by the prefect of the Kwong Chau Prefecture, the Prefecture being made up of a number of dis- tricts, of which San On is one. It is estimated that there are in the district of San On 300 T'ung Shang studying for the first degree, for which an examination is held yearly at Canton. The number of vacancies allotted to the district is eleven. There are said to be 150 graduates of the first degree resident in the whole district.

　　　I recommend that the present village schools be retained, but that at the same time the study of English be encouraged. This could be done in the first instance by the establishment at the headquarters of the government of a school for the teaching of English under a master well acquainted with both Chinese and English. When a desire for a knowledge of English spreads, as is almost certain to be the case, other schools can be established at different places throughout the area. an inducement to learn English, free scholarships at Queen's College should be offered to the best students in the new territory, and the appointments of inter- preters should be, so far as possible, given to natives of the district who are qualified to fill them.

-12-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

Revenue.

549

Appendix 6 contains a statement of the revenue of the San On District drawn up by the District Magistrate, from which it appears that the total annual revenue amounts to $52,220, or, say, ￡5,000. But from information derived from another source it is estimated that the annual revenue of that portion of the San On District contained within the leased area amounts to $160,000, or, say, ￡16,000.

Owing to the inspection of the new territory having been somewhat hurried, it was not possible to institute a minute inquiry into all the items of revenue. Some of these may not be regarded as satisfactory sources of revenue, and may be ultimately abandoned, whilst it may be deemed advisable to modify the mode of collecting others. For instance, the revenue derived from opium includes a duty on raw opium, which produces annually $23,611.11. In Hongkong the duty on opium is charged not on the raw but on the prepared article, which in the new territory is said to yield only $4,166.67 a year, an amount obviously much lower than that which could be collected. And the same remark is applicable to other items of revenue, which, when British rule is established, will be greatly increased. However, until further experience has shown in what manner revenue can be best raised without exciting the suspicion or irritating the feelings and judices of the inhabitants, it would be well to interfere as little as possible with the present system and sources of taxation. If this be done, it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in raising at the start an annual revenue sufficient to meet the cost of administering the new territory. The expenditure is estimated at $125,000. To cover this outlay taxation to the amount of 14 dollars or 2s. 6d. per head of the population will be sufficient.

Expenditure.

The cost of administering the new territory is estimated at $125,000. The chief items of the estimated expenditure are :---

pre-

Police....

Surveyors Miscellaneous.

Total

... a

.$33,223

$14,400

.$24,657

$72,280

When the work of survey has been completed such a large staff of surveyors will be unnecessary, but it is important, as has been pointed out, that the land under cultivation should be surveyed as quickly as possible. Miscellaneous ex- penditure has been estimated at a high figure, as unforeseen expenses are sure to be large when the territory is first taken over.

Loan.

The finances of the new territory should be kept distinct from those of Hong- kong, and, so far as can be judged, there seems to be no reason why it should not be self-supporting as soon as it has been taken over. But the collection of the annual revenue will necessarily take some time, especially at the commencement of British rule, and before that rule has been established, it will be necessary to have in hand funds sufficient to meet current expenses and to cover initial outlays. Buildings for public offices, for officers' quarters, for a gaol, for a school, will have to have constructed; the present roads will have to be improved and new ones

made.

To meet this expenditure I recommend that recourse be had to a loan. The Government of the new territory might be empowered to borrow up to a maximum amount, and to arrange with a local bank for an overdraft, so that it could obtain such advances, not exceeding the amount it has been authorised to borrow, as it may from time to time require.

BOUNDARY LINE.

The boundary line indicated on the map attached to the Convention (Map I.) is the shortest line from sea to sea that could be found, measuring on the map only eleven (11) miles. Following the river from Deep Bay to Sham Chun and the road from the latter place to Starling Inlet, the actual distance is about thirteen (13) miles.

* Not printed.

-13-

550

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

　　　This boundary line is open to great objection. It cuts in two the rich valley of which Sham Chun is the centre, and, while excluding that town, divides the villages in the valley hitherto linked together by family ties and common interests, and at present separated, so far as the river extends, by about 100 feet of a tidal river, and onwards from Sham Chun to Starling Inlet by no boundary whatever. All these villages regard Sham Chun as their central and most important market, where they dispose of their goods and make their purchases, and much difficulty and friction would be certain to arise if the villages on one side of the stream or road come under British jurisdiction whilst those on the other remain under Chinese rule.

　　　Another important reason why Sham Chun should not be excluded from the area to be leased is that it is the seat of the Head Council of the local as opposed to the Imperial Government, represented by the district magistrate, who resides at Namt'au. This Head Council controls all the village and other tribunals through- out the Tung Lo or Eastern Division of the San On district, which is that portion of the district included in the Convention, and exercises great influence in every village.

　　　Again, it must be remembered that the chief industry of the villages in the valleys is the cultivation of rice, for which an ample and constant supply of water is necessary. If the boundary line indicated on the Convention map be followed, endless dispute as to water rights between villages under British and Chinese juris- diction are certain to ensue; dissatisfaction will be created; and the task of ment will be rendered more difficult.

govern-

The proposed boundary would also render smuggling an easy matter, which, in view of the pledge given to China, ought to be avoided.

　　　The disadvantages of having a Chinese town just outside British territory have. been experienced in the case of Kowloon, which for years has been a source of never- ceasing trouble and constant friction between the Governments of Hongkong and China. History will certainly repeat itself if Sham Chun be allowed to remain in Chinese territory.

　　　In the opinion of all those acquainted with the country, whether belonging to the naval, military, or civil services, it is essential, in the interests of good gov- crnment, and in order to maintain friendly relations with China, that the town of Sham Chun should be included in the lease.

　　　The boundary between two countries, which leads to least friction, is either a broad and deep river or the ridges of hills forming the watersheds of different valleys. In the San On district there is no broad river such as would form a suitable boundary. But there are ridges of hills which could be utilised for that purpose.

　　　This proposed line, which includes the important town of Sham Chun and the land to the north and east of Mirs Bay and to the west of Deep Bay, forms a good, natural boundary, running along the crest of the hills, is easy of defence, and would help to check snuggling. It renders unnecessary the separation of villages hitherto united, removes all danger of disputes about water rights, and obviates any interference with the present system of local self-government, on the support of which the success of British administration in the new territory must to a great extent depend.

PREVENTION OF SMUGGLING.

The question of smuggling from Hongkong is one which has given more trouble than alinost any other ever since the foundation of the Colony.

The whole difficulty lies in the geographical position of the Colony of Hong- kong, which is so situated that smuggling into China may be checked but can never be altogether prevented. It is obvious that the extension of the Colony will not decrease the facilities for smuggling, especially if a mere stream instead of a well-defined range of hills is selected as a boundary.

Opium has always been the chief article smuggled. To prevent the smug- gling of it, special legislation has been introduced by the Government of Hongkong. If it is considered desirable, in view of the pledge given by Great Britain to China to prevent, so far as possible, smuggling, to still further control the export of opium from Hongkong, I am of opinion that this can be best effected by a bonding system.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, STH APRIL, 1899.

novil All opium, on its arrival at Hongkong from India, should be bonded, and no opium should be allowed to be removed from bond except under proper guarantees as to its destination, or shipped, without the Harbour Master being furnished with a copy of the bill of lading.

The Customs of China should be supplied with regular returns of all shipments.

The Opium Farmer of Hongkong should be made to account clearly for every chest of raw opium supplied to him, and should not be allowed to handle more raw opium than is necessary to meet the opium-smoking requirements of Hongkong and of the new territory, and the demands of the prepared opium export trade to Australia, America, and elsewhere.

These precautionary measures are sure to decrease the revenue of Hongkong. If they are adopted, the Government of China should not hesitate either to lease the whole of the San On district or to adopt that boundary line which is the best in the interests of all parties concerned.

KOWLOON CITY.

The city of Kowloon is called in Chinese Kau Lung Shing. The term Shing is the ordinary one used for a city by the Chinese. It originally seems to have signified a rampart, surrounding a space; but it is now always applied to a city surrounded by a wall or rampart, as all Chinese cities are. The Convention refers to the retention of jurisdiction "within the city of Kowloon," thus clearly showing that the walled city is meant.

Kowloon is situated about a quarter of a mile from the sea shore. closed by a stone wall built in 1847, forming as nearly as possible a parrallelogram, measuring 700 feet by 400 feet, and enclosing an area of 61?2 acres. The wall is built of granite ashlar facing, is 15 feet in width at the top, and averages in height 13 feet. The wall has six watch towers, at present occupied as family dwellings, and two gateways, with doors made of wood and lined with iron sheeting. The parapet wall is built of granite, and has 119 embrasures. It is approached by four flights of stone steps. (See Sketch Plans of Kowloon City and Neighbourhood, Maps VIII. and IX., and photographs.)*

According to a return (see Appendix 7) furnished by the Deputy Magistrate, the total population of Kowloon city is 744; the garrison amounts to 544; the civil population to 200. The officials stationed within the city are, with the exception of one civil officer, a Deputy Magistrate, military officers, the head of whom is the Colonel Commanding. This officer is the chief military officer in the district of San On; is immediately subordinate to the T'i Tu, or General in Com- mand of all the land forces in the province of Kwong-tung. The Colonel's juris- diction is purely a military one, extending over the whole district of San On and the islands adjacent thereto. His original headquarters were at Taip'ang (see Map VII., showing residences of officials), and his official designation is still Taip'ang Hip, or Colonel stationed at Taipang, at which place he has a yamen, or official quarters. The reason for his having taken up a residence within the city of Kowloon was to place him in closer relations with the Colony of Hongkong.

As the garrison now under the command of the Colonel is maintained for the defence of the district of San On and the adjoining islands, and as the larger por- tion of that district and most of the islands are to be leased by the British Govern- ment, most of the soldiers now supposed to exist under the Colonel's command will be disbanded or transferred elsewhere, whilst the services of those retained will be required not within, but outside, the territory referred to in the Convention. The residence, therefore, of the Colonel Commanding and of his troops within the city of Kowloon is entirely unnecessary. But even if it were necessary, the mili- tary requirements for the defence of Hongkong must. surely render it impossible to allow the retention, in the very heart of the territory, of a garrison of soldiers belonging to a foreign power, however friendly that power may be.

The only civil officer resident within the city is a Deputy Magistrate. He is appointed not to control the 200 civilians resident within the city, who are really subject to the military, but to exercise a somewhat extensive jurisdiction outside the city, throughout a large portion of the new area. When that area has been taken over, there appears to be no reason why this office of Deputy Magistrate should continue to exist, as the jurisdiction now exercised by him will be merged in the administration of the territory under British rule.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

The civil population within the city of Kowloon, amounting to 200, lives there simply because it is dependent on the military. It does not engage in trade, there being no shops of any kind within the city. If the military remove from the city, the civil population is sure to follow, so there will be no one remaining over whom a Chinese officer could exercise jurisdiction.

In any case it appears to be entirely inconsistent with the military require- ments for the defence of Hongkong to allow a garrison town like Kowloon to be occupied permanently by Chinese military officers and troops. If that view be accepted, there seems to be nothing to justify the retention of Chinese jurisdiction in any shape or form within the city, for without the garrison the population will, it is certain, be reduced to nothing.

　　　Should any civilians remain after the removal of the military, they might be allowed to establish a native tribunal presided over by the elders and gentry, but subject, of course, in the same way as the other native tribunals throughout the territory, to the control of the travelling magistrate, and possessing the right of appeal to the Council of the Tung, and finally to the Commissioner.

CONCLUSION.

In conclusion, it may, I trust, be gathered from the account of the new terri- tory that it will form a valuable extension of Hongkong. It is favourably situated, has good harbours with safe anchorages, possesses a rich soil, and is inhabited by an industrious, hardy, and frugal race. Under Chinese rule enterprise has been at a discount, and progress has been at a standstill for centuries. The San On dis- trict of to-day must be much the same as it was four or five hundred years ago. But when British rule is established, and the people realise that justice prevails, that they are allowed to pursue their avocations in peace and freedom from illicit extortions, and that there is no unnecessary interference with their inanners and customs, the spirit of enterprise will soon manifest itself, capitalists will be attracted to a region where their capital is not liable to official "squeezes," the resources of the country will be developed, and its prosperity will continue to increase.

CONVENTION.

Convention for the Extension of Hongkong.

Whereas it has for many years past been recognized that an extension of Hongkong territory is necessary for the proper defence and protection of the Colony:

It has now been agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China that the limits of British territory shall be enlarged under lease to the extent indi- cated generally on the annexed map*. The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall be 99 years.

　　　It is at the same time agreed that within the City of Kowloon the Chinese officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction except so far as may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hongkong. Within the remainder of the newly leased territory Great Britain shall have sole jurisdiction. Chinese officials and people shall be allowed as heretofore to use the road from Kowloon to Hsinan.

　　　　It is further agreed that the existing landing place near Kowloon City shall be reserved for the convenience of Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passenger vessels, which may come and go and lie there at their pleasure; and for the con- venience of movement of the officials and people within the city.

When hereafter China constructs a railway to the boundary of the Kowloon territory under British control, arrangements shall be discussed.

It is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the inhabitants of the district included within the extension, and that if land is required for public offices, fortifications, or the like official purposes, it shall be bought at a fair price.

If cases of extradition of criminals occur, they shall be dealt with in accord- ance with the existing treaties beween Great Britain and China and the Hongkong Regulations.

The area leased to Great Britain, as shown on the annexed map,* includes the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay, but it is agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise, shall retain the right to use those waters.

This Convention shall come into force on the 1st day of July, 1898, being the 13th day of the 5th moon of the 24th year of Kuang-Hsu, It shall be ratified · by the Sovereigns of the two countries, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in London as soon as possible.

In witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respec- tive Governments, have signed the present agreement.

Done at Peking in quadruplicate (4 copies in English and 4 in Chinese) the 9th day of June in the year of our Lord, 1898, being the 21st day of the 4th moon of the 24th year of Kuang-Hsu.

REPORT ON THE HARBOURS IN MIRS BAY, BY Commander DE HORSEY, R.N.

1. Starling Inlet. Good anchorage in 4 fms. Head of bay too shallow for purposes of navigation. If road be brought down to either side of bay on parallel 114° 14′ 30′′ E. ships drawing 21 feet of water could lie alongside a short pier.

2. Crooked Harbour. Good protected anchorages in 6 to 7 fms. Useful only 3. Double Haven. for fishing requirements.

}

4. Anchorage under Pingchau Island. Good anchorage in 7 fms., but much taken up with fishing stakes and unimportant for line of communication.

5. Plover Cove. Very good anchorage in all weathers in 42 fms., but out of trade route.

6. Tolo Harbour. Like Starling Inlet, too shallow at head of bay for purposes of navigation, although there is a boat channel, which, if marked out, will take small junks up to town. Anchorage on 4 fms. line. Suitable for shipping; whichever side of bay road is made it should be brought out on parallel 114° 11' 45" E., in order to allow of vessels lying alongside a pier in 21 feet.

7. Tide Cove. Communication by small junks or light launches at high water to top of bay. Sampans at low. Anchorage in 3 fms. Protected in all winds. Distance from head of bay 3 miles. Important as being the closest by land to Kowloon.

8. Long Harbour. Good anchorage in 7 to 8 fms. More suitable for a mili- tary than a mercantile port.

9. Port Shelter. Good anchorage for any size of ships. Chiefly useful as being deep close to shore, and divided from Tseung Kwan O by a small neck of land mile wide.

10. Rocky Harbour. Unimportant, being out of line of communication.

REPORT ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE NEW TERRITORY BY MR. ORMSBY.

The geological formation of this territory is simple, granitic, trappean, and metamorphic rocks largely predominating, the only stratified rocks which are found belonging to the hypozoic period. There are in places evidences of volcanic action, but of a very remote period, while the granitic and trappean rocks are very prominent everywhere. The hills facing Hongkong are chiefly of granite, of which many varieties occur, from a fine close-grained felspathic white rock and a pink coloured granite like that of Aberdeen, to a very coarse porphyritic granite. Kao- lin probably exists, but I did not come on any defined beds of it, though told that it was to be found near the west point of Castle Peak Bay. Syenite is common and of very good quality, a dark, highly crystalline variety, in many cases the large distinct crystals of hornblende being well shown.

The bold and rocky east coast shows some very characteristic cliffs of columnar basalt, and blocks of this, an almost black and highly crystalline rock, are largely used for bridging streams inland.

Further inland other trap rocks appear, while some of the islands in Mirs Bay show very distinctly the terraced and step-like appearance of these formations. The more compact and crystalline varieties seem to predominate, though trap tuffs and claystone porphyries are not absent. Specimens of basalts, greenstones, and felspar porphyries were numerous.

It is extremely difficult in such a country as I have described, where the varieties of trap rocks are so numerous and so mixed up with rocks of the granite system, to say what other rocks may not exist. One thing is certain, there is everywhere an abundance of the best building material, and for road macadamizing nothing could surpass the hard basalts.

　　　In one or two places I came on distinctly stratified rocks, of a hard, crystal- line, close-grained variety, dark grey or bluish grey in colour, which I would call syenitic gneiss.

Pure quartz rock is uncommon, though in places distinct out-crops of quartz- ite were to be seen. I saw no mica schists, and except in the pure granites mica is not to be seen. Talc also is absent, but hornblende appears everywhere, and I should say chlorite schists, hornblende schists and actynolite schists are fairly

common.

　　　I saw no limestone, all lime used in buildings being obtained from the burn- ing of coral or oyster shells.

　　　The lower hills between the mountain ranges are of laterite, rounded or conical in shape, and well covered with vegetation, combining to form the extremely pic- turesque scenery usually associated with such formations. The richly cultivated valleys lying between, formed by the denudation of the surrounding mountains, seem in most cases to have a few feet of good soil overlying laterite; some exca- vations, as in wells, showed this very distinctly. The laterite is what would be called a coarse cabook in Ceylon, fit for cutting out in blocks for building pur- poses. This is extremely like the disintegrated granite of Hongkong, but contains more silicate of alumina and oxide of iron, the latter showing in large nodules.

Some excellent pottery clay exists on the slopes of Taimo Shan, of which we saw specimens in the village of Un-iu, of a light brown colour and extremely fine texture. Brick clay is found in all the valleys, and is used in the form of large sun-dried bricks in many of the village houses and walls.

　　　Possibly beds of primary limestone will be found, but the lime obtained by the burning of coral or shells is as a rule better for building purposes, so the absence of rock limestone, if such turns out to be the case, does not matter. A lead mine was worked for some years on the side of Taimo Shan, but the working discon- tinued for some reason about 6 years ago. Galena was also found near Kowloon, and on the north side of Lantao, and elsewhere. These workings should be ex- amined by a mining expert, and the richness of the ore ascertained. The natives also speak of alluvial tin being found. Silver and lead were worked on the south of the island of Lantao within recent years, but without success financially, possibly due rather to Chinese official interference and bad management than to the absence of a paying richness in the ore. Expensive buildings were erected on the sea-shore, and machinery said to have cost 100,000 dollars imported and erected. Even

when the speculation collapsed, the plant was valued at $30,000, all of which is said to have been abandoned. Only the foundations and cement floors of some of the buildings remain, and the brick chimney shaft of the smelting works.

I should

say that on the Taimo Shan range gneiss syenite and trap rocks predominate. Massive boulders of gneiss of a bluish grey or greenish colour are scattered over the mountain side and in the ravines. On the slopes in which the best pasturage

is found there is a stiff yellow clay, with veins of quartz gravel. Lantao Island is chiefly granite on the south face and trap rocks on the north, the latter being consequently much better covered with vegetation and trees. The smaller islands, such as Ch'eung-chau, P'ing-chau, and Lamma seen to be almost entirely granite.

It will be understood that as only 12 days in all were spent in the exploration. of the mainland and islands, no accurate or close geological survey was possible, the predominating rocks were judged as much from the stone used in the paved footpaths, stream crossings,, sea walls, and houses, as from the bed rocks on the hill sides, usually difficult of access. This geological description of the country is therefore of a very sketchy and imperfect character, and a closer and more careful examination by a professional geologist, or an expert in mineralogy, will doubtless bring to light much that has escaped my observation.

REPORT ON PROPOSED NEW ROADS, BY MR. ORMSBY.

One of the first and most pressing needs is a good cart road on an easy trace from the shores of Mirs Bay, where it approaches nearest to Kowloon city, over to British Kowloon. Such a road can readily be made as a continuation of the road already constructed on the west side of the peninsula to Mong-kok-tsui. The trace would pass through Tai-kok-tsui and along the sea coast past Lai-chi-kok, Keo- pa-kang, &c., rising by an easy gradient until it passed round the end of the southerly mountain range, and entered the valley leading down towards Sha-t'in Inlet in Mirs Bay. Leaving Sha-t'in on the right, the trace would pass the villages of Tai-Wai, Cheung-Lung, Fotan, and keeping up by Kau-to, drop again to the important centre of Taipo Hu market town at the head of Tolo harbour. From Taipo Hu the road should follow the existing paths up the valley to the north-west to Sham Chun. The line I have indicated only scales 22 miles on the map, and I am of opinion that a good carriage road trace would turn out to be not more than 25 or 26 miles. I put this road first, as I consider it far and away the most important; it would pass through the centre of the territory, and not only would afford rapid and easy access to Hongkong markets for villagers with pro- duce to dispose of, but would render the administration of the new territory simple. Besides this, there is daily communication by junks from different points on Mirs Bay with Taipo Hu and Sha-t'in.

Next in importance I would put a road from Sham Chun to Shat'au Kok or Starling Inlet. This road would be about 10 miles long and on very easy gradi ents, the greatest elevation between these two towns being only 80 feet above sea level.

The Des Voeux road on the east side of British Kowloon through Hung-Hom should be carried on to Kowloon city, and generally following the existing footpath through a low pass in the chain of hills, be continued on to the important town of Sai-Kung on the shores of Port Shelter. This road should eventually be conti- nued across the dividing range to the shore of Tolo Harbour in Mirs Bay.

The roads so far described should in my opinion be what I would designate as second class carriage roads, 12 feet wide, all rivers and streams permanently bridged with stone or iron structures, stone cross drains, and surfaced with the best gravel or disintegrated rock obtainable locally, all soft ground having a bot- toming of large stones; 1 in 18 should be the steepest gradients permitted. On such roads Chinese ponies in light two-wheeled carriages could readily accomplish 8 miles an hour, bringing Shain Chun within a three hours' drive of Kowloon. I roughly estimate the cost of such roads at $10,000 a mile, but in the absence of surveys and sections this must be considered rather of a guess.

Besides these, some good bridle roads should be constructed, the most im- portant being one leaving the first main road above described where it enters the valley leading to Sha-t'in, skirting the hills close above Ts'un-wan and following the telegraph line path through one of the gaps on Taimo Shan down into the Pat Heung Valley, and so on to Unlong Hi and P'ingshan by Kamt'in Hu. A road joining Unlong Hu with Sham Chun would also be desirable. An- other useful road would be one connecting Pat Heung Valley with Taipo Hu, through the Lam-ts'un valley, a low ridge of hills between the two making this a simple matter. These bridle roads should be 6 feet wide, with stone culverts over the smaller streams, and paved fords over the larger ones, to save expense in bridging. The gradients should be limited to 1 in 10, but carriage road gradients adopted if possible, with a view to future developments. The natural surface might be left. I estimate that such roads should not cost more than $2,000 a mile.

EXTRACTS FROM A

Memorandum on some Legal Aspects of the Hongkong Extension (by W. Meigh Good- man, Attorney General of Hongkong, dated December, 1898.)

SIR,

1. As requested by you, I forward, for the consideration of the Right Hon- ourable the Secretary of State, the following remarks on the subject of the appli- cation of the laws of Hongkong to the newly acquired territories thereto adjacent.

2. By Clause 1 of Her Majesty's Order in Council of 20th October, 1898, those territories are declared to be "part and parcel of the Colony of Hongkong in like manner and for all intents and purposes as if they had originally formed part of the said Colony."

By Clause 2, the Governor, by and with the advice of the Legislative Council of the Colony, is empowered to make laws for the peace, order, and good govern- ment of the said territories as part of the Colony.

By Clause 3, it is ordered that, from a date to be fixed by the Proclamation of the Governor, all laws and Ordinances which shall at such date be in force in the Colony of Hongkong shall take effect in the said territories and shall remain in force therein, until altered or repealed by Her Majesty or by the Governor by and with the advice or consent of the Legislative Council.

By Clause 4, the exercise of jurisdiction by the Chinese officials then stationed within the City of Kowloon is continued therein, except in so far as may be incon- sistent with the Military requirements for the defence of Hongkong.

3. I call special attention to this Order in Council, because its terms appear to me to settle the problem as to what system of laws and generally what laws should be applied to the new territories, having regard to their physical nature, their situation and the characteristics of the inhabitants, and to narrow the matter down to the question "should the new territories be exempted from the applica- tion of any and, if so, what particular laws or Ordinances in force in Hongkong."?

4. Such exemption, if desired, might conveniently be effected by an Ordinance passed in Hongkong immediately after the date fixed by the Governor's Proclama- tion for the Hongkong laws and Ordinances to take effect in the new territories.

564

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

5. For my present purpose, the law in force in Hongkong may be deemed to

consist of--

(a.) Such of the laws of England as existed when the Colony obtained a local Legislature, that is to say, on the 5th April, 1843, except so far as the said laws are inapplicable to the local circumstances of the Colony or its inhabitants; (see Section 7 of Ordinance 12 of 1873); and

(b.) Local Ordinances passed in Hongkong adding to, altering or repeal-

ing the law in force on 5th April, 1843.

　　　I cannot recall to mind, as I write, any Imperial Legislation extending to Hongkong which requires special consideration in relation to the extension of the Colony.

6. It is hardly necessary, in this Memorandum, to enter into the question as to whether any and, if so, which of the laws of England in force on 5th April, 1843, referred to in paragraph 5 (a.), should be specially included in an exempting Ordi- nance, because such laws were only originally brought into force in Hongkong so far as they were not inapplicable to the local circumstances of the Colony or its inhabitants." It remains, therefore, to decide whether any of the local Ordinances

should be exempted by Ordinance.

7. It might, at first sight, appear that the new rugged, mountainous territories, partly on the mainland, partly consisting of islands, and inhabited for the most part by Chinese agricultural peasants and Chinese fishermen or coolies, were not ripe for the somewhat elaborate legislation of Hongkong; but, on reading the Ordi- nances themselves, one finds but few which would, in actual practice, cause hard- ship or difficulty. Indeed, in the United Kingdom itself, there must have been districts where, say a hundred years ago, peasants lived the simplest lives all un- conscious of most of the elaborate laws in force, and without experiencing any embarrassment so long as they conducted themselves properly; and, as regards the inhabitants of the new territories, it will probably only be as they advance in civi- lization and their hamlets increase in importance, that they will find they coine much within actual touch of such of the laws as are really only practically applicable to a Colony which has made some progress.

8. It must, moreover, be borne in mind that just as Hongkong has been deve- loped by British energy and by the Chinese under British Government and just laws, so the new territory has a future before it, and British and Chinese enterprise and capital will be more likely to be attracted from "Hongkong proper" and elsewhere, to the new extension of the Colony if the laws prevailing therein are practically identical with those of Hongkong itself.

9. The edition of the Ordinances of Hongkong, published in two volumes in 1891 and compiled by Mr. LEACH, contains the Ordinances in force at the end of 1890. This edition, as modified and supplemented by the Ordinances since passed, enables one to ascertain the local Ordinances at present obtaining in Hongkong. I mention this because the edition in four volumes to the end of 1887 containing all the Ordinances passed to that date includes a large number of those already then repealed. Prefixed to each of Mr. LEACH'S two volumes is a chronological table which renders reference to the subject matter of the Ordinances to the end of 1890 a simple task.

10. Although some of the Hongkong Ordinances seem beyond the present requirements of the new extension, yet, when they are referred to in detail, it would, in many cases, seem unnecessary, having regard to the future, expressly to exclude them from applying. In point of fact they would work no practical hardship because, in practice, they would not be enforced until adequate machinery. had been provided and facilities afforded for carrying out their provisions. In some few instances it might be well to exclude the application of an Ordinance from the new territories.

11. I will now proceed to remark on such of the Ordinances as seem to re- quire consideration in our present enquiry :--

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

　　　　Land Registration. Ordi- nance 3 of 1844.

Probate and Administra- tion. Now Ordinance 3 of 1897.

Registration of Births and

Deaths. Now Ordinance 16 of 1896.

Marriage Registration.

Stamps.

Post Office.

Licensing of Auctioneers, Billiard tables, Hawkers, Money changers, Public vehicles, and Chinese undertakers.

Spirit Licences.

565

Ordinance No. 3 of 1844.-( As to Registration of Deeds, Wills, etc. affecting real and immovable property in Hongkong.)

While it will probably be long before the villagers in the new extension will register small land transactions, yet it seems right that if a European or Chinaman purchases a plot of land and desires to register it in the Hongkong Land Office, he should be able to do so where the land is situated in the new territory just as easily as if it were situated in Hongkong as it exists now. I see no valid reason to exclude this Ordinance.

Ordinance 8 of 1860.-Relating to Probate and Administration.

This has been repealed and the subject matter dealt with and consolidated by Ordinance 3 of 1897.

As regards the new consolidating Ordinance the Chinese in the extension would probably often ignore it as they frequently do now in Hongkong, only taking out Probate or Administration when they require a legal title so as to sell some land or transfer some shares, but I see no reason why Ordinance 3 of 1897 should not apply to the new territory. It will work smoothly in time.

Ordinance 7 of 1872.-Relating to registration of Births and Deaths.

This has been repealed and re-enacted with improvements as Ordinance 16 of 1896 (amended by 20 of 1898). It is important that Births and Deaths should be registered, but till district-registrars are appointed under Section 3, it will be difficult for Chinese in the new territories to give the information as required by the Second Clause of Section 3. Having regard, therefore, to the requirements of Sections 8, 9 and 11 (a), especially 11 (e) as to burying, some little time must elapse before the provisions of this Ordinance could be complied with. I should therefore exclude it for the present.

Ordinance 14 of 1875.-Marriage Registration.

Having regard to the restricted application of this Ordinance (See Ordinance 14 of 1896 amending Section 39 of 14 of 1875) it need not be excluded.

Ordinance 16 of 1886.-Stamps.

Amended by 13 of 1894 and 26 of 1895. On the whole I should not ex- clude this Ordinance though, no doubt, it will be largely ignored by the Chinese in the new territory as it is in Hongkong. Chinese do not care to incur expense in stamping even receipts unless they think the documents will have to be pro- duced in Court or they are giving receipts to Europeans.

Ordinance 1 of 1887.-Post Office.

I should not exclude this Ordinance. In practice the Chinese would send letters in the new territories by native channels till the Post Office authorities were able to enforce and properly work the monopoly which the Post Master General has, at least in theory, over correspondence and letters.

Ordinance 21 of 1887.- Licensing Consolidation.

I think this Ordinance should, at all events for the present, not be extended to the new territories.

Ordinance 21 of 1886.-(Spirit Licences.)

This has been repealed and re-enacted in a consolidating and amending Ordi- nance (No. 24 of 1898). Possibly, for the present, this Ordinance might be excluded from applying to the new territories.

566

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH APRIL, 1899.

Ordinance 15 of 1888.-(The Rating Ordinance) as amended by 5 of 1892.

　　　As by Section 6, the Assessor is to make his valuation of the tenements in the Rating Ordinance. Colony or of such part thereof, as the Governor in Council may direct, it would be practically in the discretion of the Governor in Council whether rates should be levied in the new territory. Therefore I do not know that it is necessary to exclude this Ordinance. Indeed, as time goes on, and money has to be spent on the new territories some mode of raising some revenue will become necessary.

At present the rates are 7 per cent. in rural districts as against 13 per cent. in Victoria.

Ordinance 15 of 1889.-(The Building Ordinance) as amended by Ordinances

25 of 1891, 15 of 1894 (Sections 7 and 8), 7 of 1895 and 5 1896.

　　　No doubt some building law will be required in the new territories, but before Building Ordinance. the present Building Ordinances are extended to the new territories, I should like to have the views of the Director of Public Works as to whether they could be satisfactorily carried out. Unless he thinks the present Ordinances might be made to apply I should for the present exclude them-see Section 69 and also Section 70

of 15 of 1889 as amended by Section 3 of Ordinance 7 of 1895, &c., &c.

Ordinance 5 of 1890.- Vaccination.

　　　As the penalty (see Section 11) is only enforceable after six months' notice and Vaccination. neglect thereof, and the Registrar General would not give such notice till

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　proper facilities for vaccination have been afforded, it seems to me the extension of this Ordinance to the new territory is desirable and would in practice create no hard- ship. The Chinese do not usually object to vaccination.

Ordinance No. 26 of 1891.-(Merchant Shipping) as amended by 9 of 1892.

　　　A new Bill has been prepared in the Colony by the Harbour Master and my- Merchant Shipping. self, consolidating the Law of Merchant Shipping and approximating it as nearly as local circumstances permit to the law in force in England under the 1894 Act. I do not think the operation of the Ordinance 26 of 1891 should, in the meantime, be excluded from the new territory. Of course, care will have to be taken in the new Ordinance in defining "waters of the Colony" (compare Section 2 of 26 of 1891).

Ordinance 17 of 1887.-(Cattle Diseases, Slaughter-houses and Markets) as amended by Ordinance 23 of 1890, Ordinance 12 of 1894, Ordinance 17 of 1895, 25 of 1895.

Possibly difficulties might arise if this Ordinance were extended to the new territories, e.g. the provision of section 12, and it should be made clear that the lessee under section 10 has no sole privilege of slaughtering as regards those territories, and the Bye-laws, as to landing cattle imported, at certain places only, might operate harshly unless amended.

I would suggest, therefore, excluding, for the present, the operation of this Ordinance and most of the amending Ordinances, but I see no reason why sections 4 and 5 of Ordinance 23 of 1890 should not be extended to the new territories, for it is expedient to provide against the sale and importation of unwholesome food even if it proves difficult to enforce such provision.

　　　12. I have annexed to this Memorandum a draft Ordinance with a Schedule of excluded enactments. It is possible that some other Ordinances should be added to the Schedule, but I was unwilling to suggest excluding any laws in force in Hongkong, unless it is absolutely necessary so to do. The Sanitary Board might be consulted as to whether any and what portions of the Public Health Ordinances should be added to the Schedule or whether the application of any Bye-laws unsuited to the extension might not be limited to the Colony as it existed when they were made.

may 13. In conclusion, I can only hope this Memorandum and Draft Bill be of some use in assisting the Governor and Legislative Council in finally deciding what legislation shall be excluded from the new territories.

I have, etc.,

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry, into the loss of the British ship Clwyd, Official No. 106,845 of Liverpool, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th April, 1899.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British ship Clwyd, Official No. 106,845 of Liverpool, of which THOMAS THOMAS- was Master, the number of whose Certificate is 06,469, left Hongkong for Peru with a full cargo of rice on Thursday, the 30th March, 1899.

That at 7 p.m. a departure was taken from Waglan Light N.W. W. (Mag.) about 20′ distant and from that time a fair wind was experienced and a E. by N. Course was steered up to 4 a.m. on Friday. That from that time the ship was by the wind, clean full, with the yards braced up, but not sharp.

That at about 2.20 a.m. on the 1st April breakers were seen right ahead and on both bows, the helm was put hard up and an attempt made to wear the ship but in about 3 or 4 minutes she struck and remained fast on the Pratas Shoal.

　　　　The sails were clewed up and almost at once the boats two in number were lowered and pro- visioned; That shortly after 3 a.m. the crew got into the boats and left the ship's side, laying off till about 7 a.m. when an attempt was made to get alongside.

That this attempt was without result and the ship was then abandoned and the boats steered for the mainland, arriving eventually at Hongkong.

　　　　In coming to any conclusion the Court is not assisted by anything more than the memory of the Master and his statements; Of logs and all documentary evidence there is none, these not having been brought away when the Master and crew left.

The Court is of opinion that the Master would have shown better judgment in acting on the suggestion of the Sailing Direction and have passed to leeward of the Pratas Shoal, more especially after he lost his fair wind and had to sail his ship by the wind which continued heading the ship and breaking her off.

That, finding the ship breaking off, he should have put her on the other tack and worked further to the Northward and increased the distance from his known danger.

The Court is further of opinion that, the Master did not make sufficient allowance for the leeway made by the, ship, together with the set of the current to leeward; The ship was apparently a dull sailer and probably was sagging to leeward considerably, yet only 2 points of correction was allowed, of which a point was for deviation of the Compass.

　　　　Further, we consider that greater exertions might have been made after the ship struck, the only thing which appears to have been doue was to brace the yards aback and when this failed all further attempt seems to have been abandoned and the prominent idea seems to have been that of leaving the ship.

　　　　We have carefully considered the evidence of the Master and others, as also what has been ad- vanced by the Master's Counsel on his behalf, and we are unanimously of opinion that, the Clwyd was not navigated with proper and seamanlike care and further that, she was prematurely abandoned.

We therefore find that the loss of the ship is to be attributed to the wrongful acts or defaults of the Master and we direct that his Certificate be suspended for a period of six months and that he be granted a Mate's Certificate during such suspension if he so desires.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 14th day of April, 1899.

NOTICE.

Whereas, bubonic plague has broken out in Hongkong, and it appears desirable, as a matter of urgency, to take precautions in order to prevent the spread of the same to the Kingdom of Siam, until such time as that port shall have been declared free from plague:

　　　The undersigned, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General for Siam, under and by virtue of the powers in that behalf conferred upon him by Section 84 of Her Majesty's Order in Council, dated the 26th day of November, 1889, has ordained that the Quarantine Regulation of the 14th day of October, 1898, shall be repealed, and has made in its place the following Regulation for the peace, order, and good Government of Her Majesty's subjects being within the dominions of the King of Siam :-

REGULATION :

　　　1. The Island of Koh Phai shall be, and is hereby declared the Quarantine and Inspection Sta- tion for the purpose of the present Regulation.

2. Any vessel which, having cleared from Hongkong, arrives in Siamese waters, on or after the date of the present Regulation, shall call at the said station, and shall, before receiving pratique, stay there until a period of nine full days shall have elapsed from the time of her leaving Hongkong.

3. Any vessel which, having cleared from any Chinese port, arrives in Siamese waters on or after the date of the present Regulation shall call at the said station, and shall stay there until such time as the Health Officer shall have boarded her and given her pratique.

4. No person other than the Health Officer, or one of his Assistants, shall communicate from any ship coming from Hongkong, or any Chinese port with the land, or from the land with such ship, or from such ship with other ships, or from other ships with such ships before she has received pratique.

5. The Master, or other person having the control of any vessel in quarantine, shall give the Health Officer such information about the vessel and the voyage, and the health of the crew and passengers and otherwise as the Health Officer may require and shall answer fully and truly questions put to him by the Health Officer, and shall if required by the Health Officer furnish the necessary boats and appliances for the landing of passengers or crew at the Quarantine Station, and shall, in a general way, give the Health Officer all necessary assistance to enable him to grant pratique to the vessel.

6. The Health Officer may board any vessel arriving in Siamese waters and inspect every person in the vessel. He may, if he thinks necessary, call for inspection of the ship's bills of health, emigra- tion papers or other documents which he may require to enable him to grant pratique, and he shall use every lawful means which to him may seem expedient for ascertaining the sanitary condition of the vessel and persons therein.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND APRIL, 1899.

629

7. No Custom Officer on duty at Koh-si-Chang or at Paknam shall allow any ship coming from Hongkong or any Chinese port, either to lighten at Koh-si-Chang or to proceed to Bangkok without producing the Certificate of Health delivered at Koh Phai, but all said ships which shall produce such certificates shall be at liberty to lighten at Koh-si-Chang, and to proceed to Bangkok or elsewhere without any further examination.

8. The Health Officer shall be, and is hereby empowered to deal with all infected vessels and persons as he may think proper to prevent the spreading of the disease.

　　　　9. Any and all persons committing a breach of the present Regulation or assisting in any way in the commission of such breach, and the Master, Captain or other person having the control of any vessel or boat, on board of which such breach has been committed or which has been in any way engaged in the commission of such breach, shall be severally liable to a fine not exceeding ￡100 or to imprisonment not exceeding three months, or to both such punishments.

　　　　10. Any cost incurred by the Siamese Government, in the maintenance of any person removed to the Quarantine Station at Koh Phai, shall be repaid by the Agents of the vessel.

SANITARY BOARD OFFICES, March 14th, 1899.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of the Board the following Report upon the health of the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1898.

AREA.

The island of Hongkong has an area of rather more than 29 square miles, and the city of Victoria, which is situated upon its northern shore, extends along the sea-front for a distance of four and a half miles and up the hillside to the city limit of 800 ft. above high-water mark; the total area of the city covered by buildings being approximately 580 acres. The opposite peninsula of Kowloon, which is also comprised within British territory, has an area of some 22 square miles.

The domestic buildings of the city of Victoria number 7,438 (exclusive of Barracks and Police Stations) of which 539 are European dwellings, while there are also some 120 houses in European occupation in the Hill district. The various villages over the island contain 31 European dwellings and 1,600 Chinese dwellings, while in British Kowloon there are 93 European dwellings and 1,850 Chinese dwellings, exclusive of the Barracks for the Hongkong Regiment and 72 small houses used by this Regiment as married quarters.

　　　　This shows an increase upon last year of 64 European dwellings and 282 Chinese dwellings; the plans of these 346 new buildings have all passed through my hands during the year, with a view to seeing that they complied strictly with the Public Health Ordinances of the Colony, and the same pro- cedure has been adopted with all plans for alterations to existing buildings; and I am thus enabled to keep the Inspectors of Nuisances well informed as to the proposed alterations to buildings in their several districts.

CLIMATE.

　　　　The average monthly temperature throughout the year has been 72.2° F as compared with 71.7° F during 1897; the maximum monthly temperature was attained in July when it reached 81.7° F and the minimum monthly temperature was recorded in the month of January, being 60.1° F as com- pared with 54.2° F in 1897.

　　　　The highest recorded temperature was 91.5° F on May 30th, and the lowest was 46.1° F on the 25th January.

　　　　The total rainfall for the year was 57.025 inches as compared with 100.03 inches during 1897, the wettest months were June with 14.25 inches and August with 9.9 inches, and the driest was December with 0.025 inch.

　　　　The greatest amount of rain which fell on any one day was 2.585 inches on August 25th, while no rain fell on 213 days of the year; the relative humidity of the atmosphere throughout the year was 74.6 per cent, being lowest in December when it stood at 52 per cent, and highest in May and June when it stood at 83 per cent. The average daily amount of sunshine throughout the year was 5.8 hours as compared with 4.78 during the previous year; on 41 days only was no sunshine recorded.

　　　　These figures have been calculated from the monthly Reports issued by the Director of the Hong- kong Observatory; the temperatures were taken at 108 feet above mean sea-level and at 4 feet above the grass.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29?? APRIL, 1899.

GENERAL SANITARY CONDITION.

The provisions of the Public Health Ordinance (No. 24 of 1887) and of the Insanitary Properties Ordinance (No. 15 of 1894) have been steadily enforced throughout the year, and it cannot be denied that the sanitary condition of the three or four hundred new houses which have been erected during the year shows a vast improvement upon that of the buildings which were erected prior to the passing of the latter Ordinance, but I regret to say that the laws of this Colony still permit of the erection of back to back houses, which are universally admitted to be unhealthy, and the prohibition of the further erection of which was so strongly urged by Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK, as far back as 1882, and by many others since that date. The provision of open spaces in the rear of buildings is an absolute necessity to render them suitable as human habitations and yet the whole city of Victoria, with the exception of the Taipingshan resumed area and the Praya Reclamation, might, under the existing laws, be rebuilt without a single backyard, area or open space attached to any house, and although the Architects do their best, I know, to persuade property owners to provide these open areas, yet it not infrequently hap- pens that a penurious landowner insists upon the whole of his land being covered by bricks and mortar, and a roof, to the great detriment, not only of his own, but also of his neighbour's property, and to the great injury to the health of all future occupants. The Model Bye-laws which were drawn up by the Local Government Board many years ago, and which have been very generally adopted by Sanitary Author- ities at home, require a minimum open space, exclusively belonging to each house, of 150 square feet in area, and although I am quite willing to admit that there are special circumstances connected with the erection of domestic buildings for Chinese which would render this requirement excessive in some cases, yet there can be no doubt that legislation is urgently needed to secure some provision of this nature in respect of all houses that may be erected in the future.

The compulsory provision of open spaces in connection with existing dwellings is a somewhat more difficult problem, but I have no hesitation in saying that most of the Chinese dwellings in the city of Victoria would, if they existed at home, be at once condemned as "unfit for human habitation" under the Housing of the Working Classes Act, and it is only necessary to quote the opening paragraph of the Report of the Insanitary Properties Commission, issued last year, to show how urgent is the necessity for some definite and prompt action on the part of the Government.

This paragraph reads-

"We regret to have to report that there are many insanitary properties in the Colony and dwellings "which, in their present condition, are unfit for human habitation. The back portions of a number of "the houses visited by us are dark, ill-ventilated, extremely dirty and in some cases mere dens of filth. "The interior of the cubicles or sub-divisons of the living rooms was such that in the great majority of

cases their contents could be seen only by the aid of an artificial light.'

It is hardly necessary to argue that if dwelling rooms, occupied by Chinese of the coolie class, are dark, it is impossible for any staff of Inspectors to ensure their being kept in a cleanly condition, and although the present state of the dwellings in the city compares most favourably with that which obtained only some four or five years ago, yet it is indeed an almost hopeless task to seek for cleanliness with a bull's eye lantern in the almost Cimmerian darkness of the typical Chinese tenement dwelling.

for

There is still most urgent necessity throughout the Colony, and especially in the City of Victoria, many additional free public latrines and urinals; provision was, I believe, made for the erection of two additional latrines in the city during the ensuing year; these would not, however, have sufficed even to keep pace with the rapid increase in the population, so that the city would have been no better off than heretofore, but unfortunately the expenditure upon these has been disallowed, so that the condition of the city in this respect is rapidly becoming worse.

　　　No provision whatever has been made for the erection of additional urinals, either for Europeans or for Chinese, although only three public urinals at present exist in the city for a male population of about 125,000. Many are the complaints of the offensive smell of urine in the side and back lanes, and from the gully traps in the streets throughout the city, but so long as no provision is made, in this respect, for the thousands of coolies who daily traverse these streets, I fail to see what other result can be expected, or in what way this undoubted nuisance can be prevented.

POPULATION.

　　　The population of the Colony at the Census taken in 1891 was found to be 221,441 while the census taken in 1897 showed a population of 246,880.

The following is the estimated population of the Colony to the middle of 1898:-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

663

The total strength of troops in Garrison on June 30th, 1898, was 86 British officers and 1,624 British Warrant Officers, N. C. O.'s and men, with 18 Indian Officers and 1,053 Indian Warrant Officers, N. C. O.'s and men, making a total strength of 2,781 as compared with 2,577 in 1897 and 2,739 in 1896. There were in addition 78 British women and 118 British children and also 48 Asiatic women and 48 Asiatic children.

　　　　　The total strength of the British Fleet on the China Station, on June 30th, 1898, was 7,497 British Officers and men, 361 Chinese servants and 1 Japanese servant. At the census taken in January, 1897, the actual number of Officers and men of Her Majesty's Navy present in the Colony was 2,268, and in view of the considerable increase in the numerical strength of the Fleet since that date, the estimated number resident here (ashore and afloat) in 1898 has been put at 3,385. It must be remembered, however, that there is an important Naval Hospital in Hongkong to which invalids from the entire Fleet may be sent, and that the deaths occurring in that institution necessarily influence the death-rate to a degree proportionate to the strength of the entire Fleet rather than to the strength of the local contingent.

　　　　　The Chinese boat population of the Colony has been estimated to the middle of the year to have been 33,370; but it is, I am afraid, a somewhat uncertain quantity, for the floating population of the Colony was given at the census taken in 1891 at 33,098 (including those in the Mercantile Marine), while at the census taken in 1897, it was found to be 33,275 which would indicate that this section of the population was not increasing in number to any extent. It would appear, however, that the census return of the floating population for 1891 cannot be relied upon and that the number given is probably considerably in excess of the real figure, and in view of the steady increase in the number of registered Chinese craft in the Harbour, it is probable that the floating population is increasing in number to a greater extent than would appear from the census figures. These people make their homes on board the junks, sampans, cargo-boats, etc., and it is interesting therefore to note the differences in the incidence of various diseases upon them and upon the land population.

The number of registered boats belonging to the Port in 1898 was as follows:-

Fishing and Trading Junks,

Cargo-boats, Lighters, Sampans, etc.,...

Total,

5,797 4,353

10,150

The number of boats licensed in 1897 was 9,954, in 1896 was 9,731, and in 1895 was 9,434. The population of the Colony is classified primarily into Chinese and Non-Chinese, the former being greatly in the majority. The Non-Chinese comprise a white population of 12,486, of whom 6,028 are civilians and the remainder belong to the Ariny and the Navy. The coloured races number 2,704 and comprise East Indians, Malays, Philipinos and a few Africans. The white civilian population was shown at the 1897 census to consist of 2,374 British, 2,267 Portuguese, and a sprinkling of Americans, Germans, French and other Europeans.

s`no

The population is essentially a male adult one, as 'no less than 70.9 per cent. of the Chinese population and 58.6 per cent. of the Non-Chinese population are males, while considerably more than half of the population (52.6 per cent. of Non-Chinese and 55.9 per cent. of Chinese) are between the ages of 20 and 45. The proportion of the population of Great Britain between these ages is only 33.8 per cent. The City of Victoria is divided into ten Health Districts with one Inspector of Nuisances in charge of each, and the following table gives the number of houses and floors (i.e., separate Chinese dwellings in most cases), the population and the area of each of these districts.

most densely populated metropolitan districts of the city of London are St. James's, Westminster, White- chapel and St. George's in the East, but none of these had a population of more than 200 persons to the acre in 1891.

BIRTHS.

The births registered during the year were as follows :-

Chinese,

Non-Chinese,.... {White,

Coloured,

Males.

Females.

178

1,206

This is equal to a general birth-rate of 4.7 per 1,000 as compared with 5.5 per 1,000 during the previous year. The birth-rate among the Non-Chinese community alone was 15.9 per 1,000 as compared with 17.7 during the previous year, so that it is apparent that the year 1898 was not favour- able to any great increase of the population from this cause. The nationalities of the Non-Chinese parents were as follows:-British 85, Portuguese 72, German 11, French 4, Spanish 1, American 1, Pole 1, Jew 3, Indian 58, Malay 5, Japanese 2. The most remarkable feature, however, about the birth- rate of this Colony is the great preponderance of male over female births; in Great Britain and in tem- perate climates generally the proportion is 104 male births to every 100 female births, but in this Colony the proportion is, among the white races, no less than 128 male births to 100 female births.

The number of Chinese births registered does not, however, give an accurate record of the number of births which have occurred in the Colony for many of the infants that die during the first month or so of life remain unregistered, although their deaths must be registered to obtain the necessary burial orders. It is customary therefore to add to the registered births the number of infants of one month old and under that die in the various Convents or are found by the Police in the streets or in the Harbour. This number during 1898 was 214 males and 317 females and 11 sex unrecorded, and thus the total births among the Chinese are estimated at 1,605 which makes the Chinese birth-rate 6.3 per 1,000 and the general birth-rate of the Colony 6.8 per 1,000 as compared with 7.3 during the previous year.

The preponderance of male births over female births is not nearly so marked among the Chinese as among the white inhabitants, but yet the ratio stands at 117 to 100, which is greatly in excess of what obtains in Europe.

DEATHS.

The total number of deaths registered during the year was 5,674 as compared with 4,688 during 1897 and 5,860 during 1896. The death-rate for 1898 was therefore 22.3 per 1,000, as compared with 18.85 during the previous year and an average of 23 per 1,000 during the preceding five years (exclusive of 1894). These deaths, however, include no less than 1,175 from Bubonic Fever (Plague), and if these are omitted the death-rate appears at 17.7 per 1,000. The total number of deaths among the Chinese was 5,383, which is equal to a death-rate of 22.5 per 1,000.

The deaths registered among the Non-Chinese community were 291, of which 200 were among the white races and 91 among the coloured. The deaths among Non-Chinese include 49 deaths from Bubonic Fever, and the total death-rate among the white races was 16.2 per 1,000 and among the coloured races was 33.6 per 1,000.

DISTRIBUTION OF DEATHS.

}

The 291 deaths among the Non-Chinese population were distributed as follows:-British 117, Por- tuguese 59, German 10, Spanish 5, French 5, Italian 2, Norwegian 1, Austrian 1; Indian 62, Japanese 13, Malay 9, South American (coloured) 6, Siamese 1.

The number of deaths occurring in the Army was 32 of which 23 were British, the remainder being Indians. The average age at death of the British soldier was 23.6 years, and the causes of death were as follows:-

This shows a loss of something over 7 per 1,000 per annum among British troops, from Malarial diseases alone-a sufficiently high death-rate to warrant active measures of protection on the part of the military authorities. The pure white civilian population of the Colony (i.e., not including the locally born Portuguese) numbers nearly double that of the British troops and yet only three deaths from Malarial diseases occurred among them during the year, two being old inen, aged 67 and 70 respectively, and the third, a lad of nine years.

The three deaths from Bubonic Fever were not incurred in the execution of Plague duty, but must have been contracted by the men in some of the Chinese houses of entertainment.

Eleven deaths occurring in the China Squadron were registered in this Colony during the year; the average age at death was 30, and the causes of death were as follows :-

Enteric Fever,

Small-pox,

Remittent Fever.

Dysentery,

Pneumonia,

Bright's Disease,

Cancer of Stomach,

Heat Apoplexy,..

Drowning,.

Cut Throat (Suicide),.

　　　　The deaths of persons other than Chinese employed in the Mercantile Marine and in Foreign Navies were 38 in number and comprised the following nationalities:-British and American 18, Indian 5, Gerinan 4, Portuguese 3, South American (coloured) 3. Japanese 2, and Norwegian, Spanish and Italian, each 1.

UNCERTIFIED DEATHS.

During the year there were 641 deaths of Chinese who were not attended by a medical man, and in every case the relatives of the deceased were interviewed by myself, and the dead bodies inspected by one of the Inspectors of Nuisances, and, in all cases of doubt, by myself also. In this manner we which were enabled to discover 37 deaths from Bubonic Fever (Plague) and 2 deaths from Small-pox would otherwise have been recorded as due to some less alarming maladies. I am still of the opinion, moreover, that there is great scope in this direction for one or more Chinese doctors, well trained in Western medicine, who should be attached to the Sanitary Staff, and who would prove most valuable allies, in encouraging their countrymen to observe the elementary principles of sanitation, and in detect-' ing the commencement of any outbreaks of infectious disease. Many of the hygienic crimes committed by the Chinese in this Colony are unquestionably due rather to ignorance than to wilfulness, and the intelligent propagation of our laws by men of their own nationality would, I feel sure, go far towards ameliorating those conditions which at present tend so largely to the discomfort of European colonists and to the detriment of the health of the Chinese themselves.

AGE-DISTRIBUTION OF DEATHS.

　　　　The death-rate among the infant population is a most serious item in the mortality returns for the Colony, since no less than 18.4 per cent. of the deaths recorded occur in infants under one year of age. The infant death-rate among the Non-Chinese inhabitants of the Colony during the year was 139.9 per 1,000, as compared with 120 during 1897, and the rate among the Chinese population was 630 per 1,000 as compared with 593 during 1897. This rate still shows, however, an improvement upon former years, among the Chinese, for in 1896 it was 745 and in 1895 it was 759 per 1,000. As I have pointed out in previous reports, this high infant death-rate is largely due to the insanitary condi- tion of the houses of the poorer classes and the fact that it has been so far reduced since 1894 is an earnest of the further beneficial results which may be expected to accrue from the improvements in the sanitary condition of the Colony generally. The rise in the rate for the past year is merely a part of

666

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

the general rise in the mortality, due to the fact that last year, like most exceptionally dry years, was an unhealthy one, as well for the European as for the native members of the community.

DEATHS AMONG THE CHINESE COMMUNITY. CHEST DISEASES.

...

per

　　　The total number of deaths among the Chinese from respiratory diseases was 1,221 or 22.6 cent. of the total deaths. This represents a death-rate from these diseases of 5.1 per 1,000 as compared with 4.7 during the previous year. As observed in former years the death-rate from these causes is much heavier among the boat population than among the land population, being for the former 8.2 per 1,000 and for the latter 4.6 per 1,000. No less than 56 per cent. of these deaths are due to Phthisis, a disease which is always intimately associated with overcrowding, inefficient ventilation and structural insanitary conditions generally.

NERVOUS DISEASES.

　　　The deaths recorded under this heading number 786, and no less than 572 of these or 72 per cent, occurred in infants under one year of age, the causes of death being Tetanus, Trismus and allied dis- orders of a convulsive type. These are well known to be induced by residence in insanitary dwellings, and it is noteworthy that the slow and gradual improvement in the sanitary condition of the Chinese dwellings is being accompanied by a gradual fall in the number of these infant deaths from convulsive diseases, as will be seen from the following table :-

　　　The total number of deaths among the Chinese from malarial diseases was 506 as compared with 712 during the previous year; this is equal to a death-rate from this cause alone of 2.1 per 1,000. The death-rate from this cause among the boat population was not so heavy as in former years, although it still remains greater among them than among the land population, being 2.6 per 1,000 for the former and 2.0 per 1,000 for the latter.

There were 117 deaths recorded as due to Beri-Beri.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

　　　The total number of cases of infectious disease reported by registered medical practitioners during the year was 1,591 and comprised the following:--

No less that 44 of these cases are known to have been imported into the Colony, while it was in addition impossible to discover whence many of the cases of Bubonic Fever and Small-pox had come, as they were not discovered until the patients had died and the bodies been deserted by the other occu- pants of the house; of these 44 cases, 16 were Small-pox, 22 Bubonic Fever, 5 Enteric Fever, and 1 Diphtheria. The question of the medical inspection of the shipping of the Port, urged by me during the past three years, and dealt with in detail in my Report for 1897, is still, I regret to say, in abeyance, with the result that persons suffering from infectious disease may land in the Colony, with impunity, provided that they are unaware (or refuse to admit that they are aware) of the infectious nature of the disease from which they are suffering. For mail steamers and others that carry a Surgeon, the present regulations may no doubt be admirable, but as it is the vessels which do not carry Surgeons, and espe- cially the native craft that are most likely to foist cases of infectious disease upon the Colony, I must adhere to my previously expressed opinion that we have only ourselves to blame when grave epidemics are originated, as unquestionably they are in many instances, by the unrecognized importation of the initial cases.

BUBONIC FEVER.

A serious epidemic of this disease occurred during the spring of the year, no less than 1,320 cases being reported, of which 1,175 died, which is equal to a mortality of 88.1 per cent. As this outbreak has formed the subject of a special report which was presented to the Board by me in August of last year, it will be unnecessary to enter here into any further details.

SMALL-POX.

The epidemic of Bubonic Fever was preceded by a smaller outbreak of Small-pox, the total number of cases reported being 199 while the deaths numbered 110, which represents a mortality of 55.2 per cent. Sixteen of these were imported into the Colony while in many others the origin could not be traced as the disease was not discovered until after the death of the patients. The nationalities of the patients were as follows:-Chinese 130, European 51, Indian 7, Japanese 4, Philipino 4, Negroes 3. Of the European cases, one came from H.M.S. Powerful, one from H.M.S. Edgar, one from H.M.S. Centurion, and one from H.M.S. Tamar. There were no cases of Small-pox among the troops stationed ashore, whom one would expect to be brought into more intimate contact with the natives, during the epidemic, than the sailors; the most probable explanation is therefore that the troops are better vaccinated than are the sailors.

The recommendation contained in my Report for 1897, that a small bonus should be offered to the Chinese House Surgeons at the Native Hospitals (Tung Wah, Alice Memorial and Nethersole) for all successful vaccinations, the vaccine to be supplied free by the Government, with a view to increasing the number of vaccinated persons in the Colony, has not yet, I regret to say, been adopted, although it was specially recommended by the Board, by resolution, in August of last year.

　　　　　The total number of vaccinations recorded last year was 7,051, the great majority of them being prisoners in the Gaol.

ENTERIC FEVER.

Fifty-two cases of Enteric Fever were reported during the year, of which fourteen were imported into the Colony. The nationalities of these cases were as follows:-European 37, Chinese 10, Japanese 3, Indian 2. Four of the European cases occurred on board H.MS. Edgar, three on H.M.S. Tamar, one on H.M.S. Powerful, one on H.M.S. Immortalite, two on U.S.S. Boston and one on S.M.S. Gefion. There were also two cases in the Military Barracks and one in the Police Barracks. The large number of cases of this disease among the Fleet compares somewhat unfavourably with the two cases among the troops, but I think one of the most probable explanations is that, while the soldier has practically no temptation to take meals away from his Mess the sailor, especially on first arrival in the Port, eagerly samples the fresh salads, the mineral waters of Chinese manufacture and other like delicacies doubtful origin and thus contracts the disease. In any case the discrepancy between the figures in the two services rather discounts the theory that sewer emanations have much to do with the causation of the disease in this Colony.

The total deaths from this disease was 23, which is equal to a case mortality of 44.2 per cent. The mortality among the European cases was 35.1

per cent.

Two of the ten Chinese cases were imported and three of the remaining eight were in children under ten years of age. Since my Report was issued last year, in which reference was made to the apparent immunity of the Chinese to this disease, and the explanation offered that it is probably due to an attack during infancy or early childhood, a more careful search has, I believe, been made, at the Govern- ment Mortuary, for deaths from this cause among Chinese infants, with the result that several of such bodies have been found to present typical typhoid ulcers of the intestine.

668

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

DIPHTHERIA.

　　　Five cases of Diphtheria were reported during the year, as compared with two during the previous year, and no less than four of these cases died. Two of the cases were Europeans, one of them being imported, and the other three were Chinese, two female children and one adult male.

PUERPERAL FEVER.

Six cases of Puerperal Fever were notified during the year of which one only was a European, and the remaining five Chinese. Ten deaths from this disease were, however, registered, all being Chinese, while thirty-four deaths among Chinese were also registered as due to child-birth, and some of these also no doubt were really deaths from septic absorption.

　　　In view of the fact that the registered births among the Chinese number only 963, (the estimated births being 1,605), these 44 deaths represent a very high death-rate among young Chinese parturient women, and there appears to me to be a very great need for some Maternity Charity among the Chinese, preferably in connection with the Tung Wah Hospital and under similar management.

SCARLET FEVER.

Four cases of Scarlet Fever were reported during the year, two on board H.M.S. Barfleur, and two on board H.M.S. Powerful. The infection appears to have been brought out from England, as this disease is practically unknown here, and does not appear to have any tendency to spread among the

Chinese.

CHOLERA.

Five cases of Cholera among Chinese were imported by the S.S. Devawongse, from Bangkok in the month of April, and two of them died.

Inspector GRIMBLE, of No. 3 Health District, who has been in charge of the machinery and has per- formed these duties in a satisfactory manner, reports that the boiler and jacket are in good working order but that the building-a wooden one-is in a very dilapidated condition. It is proposed, however, to erect a new brick building on another site during the forthcoming year and remove the apparatus thereto.

The apparatus was in use on 249 days of the past year.

STAFF.

The only changes in the staff during the year were those occasioned by the death of Inspector RENNIE while on leave in England and the resignation of Inspector MCALLISTER. Inspector COTTON was lent to the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, during the absence on leave of the Inspector of Markets, and will be transferred to that Department on the retirement of the latter. The vacancies were filled by the appointment of Inspectors FINCHER, MCKENZIE and Acting Inspector McVICAR. The health of the staff during the year has been good and the work of the Department has been carried out, I venture to think, in an efficient and at the same time a judicious manner by the various Inspectors and those working under them.

The following is a list of the Inspectors of Nuisances employed by the Board during the year:-

GENERAL.

700 200

　　　The number of houses redrained (vide table B) this year is 768 against 1,201 last year. The reason for this is-1st, That the Assistant Sanitary Surveyor and a clerk were seconded for plague duties for sometime. 2nd, That the majority of houses redrained are European or detached houses and not iu blocks of 20 or 30 in which latter case about 100 can be inspected in a day.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

683

　　　　There are many houses in the hill district that will require to be dealt with, but it is proposed to deal with the more densely populated part of the city first where it is becoming more difficult to pick out imperfect drains.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Secretary,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

Colonial Veterinary Surgeon's Report for the year 1898.

GOVERNMENT OFFICES, HONGKONG, 10th January, 1899.

SIR,--I have the honour to submit herewith for the information of the Sanitary Board this my Annual Report for the year ending December 31st, 1898.

REPORT.

IMPORTATION OF LIVE STOCK.

Since the autumn of 1897 Foot and Mouth Disease has been raging over the whole of South China, and spreading rapidly from place to place invaded Tonquin, Cambodia and, I believe, the whole of Indo-China also. In the month of November, 1897, the disease appeared for the first time in eleven years in the Colony and since then it has been impossible to stamp it out under the ordinary precautions which would be taken elsewhere.

Dependent, as we are, entirely upon the mainland for supplies, it would be impossible to prohibit the importation of cattle altogether, or the meat supply of the Colony would be cut off, and, as the disease still remains general over all the districts from whence our cattle are drawn, it naturally follows that from time to time a few infected animals are brought in.

　　　Therefore until the disease runs its course in the adjacent provinces it is impossible to prevent a few cases being landed occasionally in the Colony, though much might be done to prevent its spread had we proper Inspection Lairs for Cattle, of which I urged the necessity as far back as 1888.

I again referred to the matter in my Annual Report for 1892 mentioning an instance where an outbreak of Rinderpest at Kobe once cut off the entire milk supply of that port; and here quote an

extract:

"There is nothing to prevent a similar outbreak in Hongkong sooner or later unless something is done to provide a proper Inspection Lair to which all cattle should be driven directly upon landing there to remain at least 12 hours before being inspected and passed into the permanent depots or elsewhere. This is the method adopted in the United Kingdom and other countries, and even then occasional cases of disease escape detection and so cause wide-spreading outbreaks which are difficult to check, hence it will be easy to understand the risk which is run here with no Inspection Lair at all."

During the early part of the year the provinces of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si were also over-run with Rinderpest or Cattle Plague, which killed off large numbers of animals, and this, together with a rise in the value of rice, caused a scarcity of animals and higher prices; but the supply, though at times intermittent, was always equal to the demand.

It will be seen under the heading of "animal depots" that the number of animals imported for slaughter during the year 1898 exceeded those for 1889 by 3,721 cattle, 5,846 sheep and goats, and 27,332 swine.

As most of these animals are brought from long distances to Hongkong it is desirable that an effort should be made to encourage the breeding of cattle and swine upon some parts of the extended territory when it is taken over, should suitable localities become available, though there might be many difficulties to contend with at first owing to the great reluctance of the Chinese to depart from the rigid rules of "olo custom."

ANIMAL DEPOTS.

　　　With the exception of the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in the cattle depots the general health of the animals housed during the year was good.

The total number of cattle admitted into the depot at Kennedy Town was 21,611 and at the Hung Hom Depot 1,029.

In the swine depot at Kennedy Town 137,237 animals were admitted, and at Hung Hom 15,154. At Kowloon there is great need of a small swine depot, these animals at present being accom- modated in part of the cattle depot.

24,686 sheep and goats were housed at the Kennedy Town depot during the year.

SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

　　　Victoria and Kowloon.-These two buildings are both in a good state of repair and amendment and will meet all requirements for some time to come.

Shaukiwan and Aberdeen.--Both these places are still without a proper slaughter house although section 8 of Ordinance 17 of 1887 reads that "a sufficient number of fit and proper slaughter houses to meet the requirements of the Colony shall be provided by the Government.

THE HONGKong goveRNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

685

　　　　I called the attention of the Sanitary Board to this matter as far back as 1890 in my Annual Report.

　　　　There is no doubt in my mind whatever that, in order to maintain a complete check upon the main source of the meat supply of the Colony, the Slaughter House at Kennedy Town to be properly and efficiently managed should be under the immediate control of the Government and not leased out to a private individual as at present.

　　　　To prevent the slaughter of pigs in the roast pork shops of the Colony, which at present prevails to a considerable extent, it is necessary to amend Section 12 of Ordinance 17 of 1887 as pointed out to the Board in my letter dated 14th June, 1898.

　　　　The total number of animals slaughtered at Kennedy Town, Kowloon, Shaukiwan and Aberdeen for the year ending December 31st, 1898, was as follows:--

　　　　In order to show the large increase in the annual number of animals slaughtered I insert below a list giving the total for the past ten years.

The decrease in the number of Swine killed during the year 1894 I attribute to the Plague epidemic of that year, and it will be seen that its effects may also be traced into the two following years.

　　　　The number of swine slaughtered during the past two years points to a considerable increase in the native population of the Colony during that period.

DAIRIES.

During the year two outbreaks of infectious disease occurred in the dairies of the Colony.

On February 28th Rinderpest or Cattle Plague broke out at the "Sassoon's Villa" premises of the Dairy Farm Company at Pokfulum. Most of the European breeds of cattle died, but fortunately the measures taken prevented the spread of the disease elsewhere.

I may mention in connection with this outbreak that I had an opportunity of treating the last case which occurred with serum prepared by myself, and am pleased to record that the animal recovered under the treatment.

686

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

From the result of my observations I am confident that, given the necessary appliances, etc. I could successfully combat an outbreak of this disease, and think that at least 90% of the animals infected might be saved if taken in time.

On December 22nd Foot and Mouth disease broke out on the premises of the East Point Dairy at Wong-nei-Cheong. The disease assumed a very mild type and up to the end of the year had not spread to any of the other farms.

In both cases the premises were declared infected areas by the Board under the provisions of Bye-laws Nos. 12 and 13 of Schedule A of Ordinance 17 of 1887.

Although as far back as 1889 I recommended that no cow sheds be licensed by the Board within the precincts of the city, I regret to note that nothing has yet been done to consider or carry out my suggestion.

In my report to the Board dated 31st January, 1898, I went very fully into the subject of the milk supply of the Colony, and pointed out that consumers would do well if, in protection of their own interests, they were to insist upon a guarantee from the dairy supplying them that they had given up the practice of purchasing milk from outside sources--that is to say, from native dairies-as the con- dition under which their milk is collected leaves much to be desired.

Native cow-keepers can never be brought to understand how very essential it is that the strictest sanitary principles should be observed when dealing with milk, nor can they, I am afraid, be ever pre- vented from adulterating it, which fraud, I am sorry to say, is now carried on to a very large extent.

Pure water added to milk-although constituting in itself an illegal act-does not render such milk harmful, but when it is known that the added water may possibly be polluted, then the danger of consuming such a mixture becomes great.

At the present time, as mentioned above, much adulterated milk is sold in the Colony, and I think that if the Board's officers were to take morc samples and submit them for analysis that much good might result to the milk consumers of the community generally.

To boil all milk before using it is the only real safeguard against the dangers of contamination.

MARKETS.

Central Market. This building is in a good state of repair and amendment, and most of the shops and stalls are let.

Owing to increase of trade additional accommodation is required in the Poultry Section for killing and plucking fowls, etc. Vide my report to the Board dated 7th September, 1898.

The lighting of the market is very inefficient.

　　　　Western Market. The central position of this market has always made it a very popular one, and it supplies a large district. The articles of food sold therein are almost entirely for native consump-

tion.

The building is old and cramped and does not at all meet present requirements.

　　　　In a report dated May 19th, 1891, the Board recommended that the market be rebuilt and some- what later I believe plans were made by the late Director of Public Works, Mr. F. A. Cooper, for this purpose, but nothing further was done in the matter.

　　　　I understand that arrangements are now being made to build a large new market upon a portion of the resumed area at Taipingshan to take the place of the present Western Market, which would be abolished upon the completion of the new one.

The Chinese generally, and more especially the present stall-holders in the Western Market, are unanimous in condemning this project, and I think not without reason when it is remembered that the old Taipingshan market-which was but a small one containing 74 stalls-had always more than half that number vacant from the time when I took over charge of the food supply of the Colony in 1887 up to June 19th, 1894, when it was closed.

　　　　One of the chief objections raised by the Chinese is that the extra cost of conveying all the market produce so far up the hill to the new building would necessitate a higher scale of prices for food stuffs sold therein, and that they would not in consequence be able to compete successfully with stall- holders in the other markets.

Another point is that instead of the market being situated as at present in the centre of a thickly populated district and fairly close to the harbour, it would then be removed to the extreme edge of that district up a steep hill, and as far away from the sea as possible.

　　　　Personally I am of opinion that the Taipingshan site as at present chosen is most unsuitable in every respect. A new market built upon the site of the present Western market, or even nearer to

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH APRIL, 1899.

687

the sea might with advantage be erected to afford double the accommodation of the existing one, and even then all the stalls would let readily; but the prospects of one such as proposed for Taipingshan would, I think, be very poor indeed.

Saiyingpoon Market-Might be re-built and extended with advantage

Tai-kok-tsui Market-Is a new building which was to be occupied on January 1st, 1899.

Shaukiwan Market.--This building is in a good state of repair and all the stalls are let.

In my Annual Report for 1889 I recommended that accommodation for at least thirty more stalls. be provided, but the extension has not yet been carried out.

Shektongtsui, Wanchai, Sokonpoo, Yaumati, and Hung Hom Markets are all in a good state of repair and meet all present wants.

STAFF.

Inspector Fisher went home upon twelve months' leave on March 18th, 1898.

　　　　　Inspectors Watson and Cotton are both deserving of the highest praise for the manner in which they have performed their duties during the year.

　　　　　Owing to their zeal and vigilance several serious cases of infringement of regulations have been brought to light which might otherwise have remained undiscovered.

　　　　　Much credit is also due to Overseer Johannsen for the smart and cleanly condition in which he kept the Central Market during the year.

On April 19th I drew the attention of the Board to the fact that the close proximity of the Chinese Mortuary to the Inspector's quarters at Kennedy Town was at times, especially during the summer months, a source of considerable annoyance to the occupant of these quarters both upon sanitary and other grounds, and I believe that it was then decided that the mortuary should be closed but up to the present time it continues as before.

　　　　　Watchmen. These men have proved a continual source of trouble and dissatisfaction ever since they were first engaged for the markets in 1887. It being found after a long trial that they were useless in the markets, they were then drafted to the slaughter-houses, but there they have proved an equal failure, hence my decision after having tried about fifty of them, to recommend that their services be dispensed with altogether at the end of the year. Vide my report to the Board dated September 29th, 1898.

Market Coolies.-On May 11th, 1898, I forwarded a petition to the Board, from the market staff of coolies, praying for an increase of salary, and strongly recommended that their pay should be raised to that of ordinary market rates. Such men, being drawn from the chair coolic class, readily obtain from $7 to $7.50 per month outside, whereas at least half my coolie staff only receive $5 and $6 a month. Hence it is obvious that the only men who join at all are very inferior ones, and they knowing that if they resign can immediately obtain situations at the same rate of pay, if not higher, elsewhere, are naturally unruly and insubordinate, and the work is not efficiently done in consequence.

A good deal of sickness was prevalent during the year amongst the members of the staff which I take it was due in a great measure to the nature of the duties required to be performed. I was also temporarily incapacitated from duty upon several occasions owing to attacks of tropical disease.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1898 to His Excellency the Governor. My fourteenth volume of "Observations and Researches" was published last autumn, and the fifteenth volume is now being printed. It contains synopses of fifteen years' meteorological and magnetic observations.

2: The typhoons in 1898 were above the average both with regard to number and intensity. The telegrams issued from here attained that year a maximum of efficiency. All necessary notices, and only necessary notices, were issued, so that the shipping was not needlessly disturbed. They were subsequently compared with entries in logbooks, and confirmed by such entries. In all 275 typhoons have now been investigated at this Observatory.

3. The comparison of weather-forecasts, issued daily about 11 a.m., with the weather sub- sequently experienced has been conducted on the same system as heretofore (Comp. Annual Report for 1896 § 5). We have :

Success 66%, partial success 28%, partial failure 6%, total failure 0 %.

　　　　Following the method used in meteorological offices and taking the sum of total and partial success as a measure of success, and the sum of total and partial failure as a measure of failure, we find finally that :-

94% of the weather forecasts were successful.

4. The China Coast Meteorological Register was printed every morning at the Observatory, and information regarding storms was telegraphed and exhibited on notice boards as often and as fully as such information could be justified by the weather telegrams received. This happened on 96 days in 1898. The Red Drum was hoisted 6 times, the Black Drum 1 time, the Red South Cone 2 times, the Black South Cone 5 times, the Red North Cone 0 times, the Black North Cone 0 times, the Red Ball 0 times, the Black Ball 5 times. The Gun was fired 3 times. Printed bulletins were circulated on 4 occasions.

　　　5. Telegraphic connection with Victoria was interrupted on the 1st January, 1898, from 7.5 a. to 2.20 p.; on the 15th February from 10.8 a. to 10.24 a; on the 12th March from 11.15 a. to 12.15 p.; on the 18th March from 10.7 a. to 10.20 a.; on the 28th March from 11.35 a. to 11.57 a.; on the 1st April from 12.37 p. to 1.48 p.; on the. 2nd April from 12.30 p. to 2 p.; on the 29th April from 11.45 a. to Noon; on the 5th July from 11.20 a. to 6.45 p.; from 2 p. on the 23rd to 10.10 a. on the 24th July; on the 3rd October from 10.54 a. to 11.45 a. Interruptions occurred therefore on 12 days, and of course, also during thunderstorms. Telephone connection with the Peak was interrupted on the 6th February, 1898, from 2 p. to 8 p.; on the 28th April from 2 p. to 5 p., i.e. on 2 days as well as during thunderstorms.

　　　6. During 1898 in addition to meteorological registers kept at 40 stations on shore, 3000 ship- logs have been copied on board or forwarded by the captains. The total number of vessels, whose log books have been made use of was 350. The total number of days' observations (counting separately those made on board different ships on the same day) was 24928.

　　　7. The following is a list of ships from which logs have been obtained in 1898.

9. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc.," meteorological observations forwarded by observers who regularly send their registers to the Observatory are verified here free of cost. During the past year 5 barometers and one solar thermometer were verified. In addition, several hundred barometers and aneroids on board ship were compared with our standard, which has been occasionally checked by comparison with standard barometers verified at the Kew Observatory, and has at no time differed one thousandth of an inch from the British standard.

10. The mean values of the spectroscopic rainband (1-5) in 1898 were as follows:-January 1.35, February 2.07, March 1.81, April 2.23, May 2.10, June 2.67, July 2.19, August 2.35, September 2.33, October 1.74, November 1.40, December 1.00. Year 1.94.

　　　　　　11. In 1898 the number of transits observed was 2600. The axis of the transit instrument was levelled 215 times, and the azimuth and collimation were determined 67 times by aid of the meridian

inark erected in 1884. No measurable deviation of this mark from the true meridian has yet been detected. Mostly stars of southern declination, whose right-ascension is not very accurately known, have been observed, and it is intended when 20000 transits are available,-say in five years from now, to form a catalogue of right-ascensions of about 2000 stars, so distributed that when the sky clears for only a couple of minutes a satisfactory determination of the time can be obtained. This is of great importance especially early in the year, when the sky is generally clouded here.

12. But with this view it is absolutely necessary that a fixed transit-circle be added to the equip- ment of this Observatory, the same as in other observatories. Such comparatively smaller centres of shipping as Madras and Perth (West Australia) have observatories supplied with fixed transit-circles, whereas the enormous shipping calling at Hongkong depends for its time and position and con- sequently safe navigation after leaving this port upon observations made with a small semi-portable instrument. I have already submitted to the Government that this defect ought to be remedied. A transit-circle is not only needed for determining time and longitude, but serves also to lay down. geodetic bearings, latitude, right-ascension and declination. It can be used for observing earthquakes and would enable me to run a level right across the harbour, and otherwise contribute information. required in survey work, which would be not only important at the present time but likely to be more and more useful in the future.

13. The sidereal standard clock was stopped on October the 7th in order to lessen the pressure of the electric contact springs on the teeth of the wheel' attached to the arbor carrying the seconds' hand, the clock having previously tripped. The clock tripped again on the 30th October, the 18th November, and on the 1st December. After this the electric connections and the chronograph were overhauled. On November the 30th the rate was altered by adding to the pendulum a weight nearly equivalent to one second.-On the 19th August the cord of the standard meantime clock broke. Its driving weight is very heavy. On August the 22nd this clock was cleaned.

14. The errors of the time-ball are given in Table II. There were no failures in 1898. The ball is not dropped on Government holidays, and on March 6 it was not hoisted because a native computer did not attend to hoist it. On July 28th and August 17th it was not hoisted on account of strong E gales. It was dropped successfully 351 times in 1898. The probable error was in January ± 0.12, in February+0.31, in March ± 0.12, in April ± 0.12, in May ± 0.11, in June ± 0a.10, in July 0.14, in August 0.12, in September ± 0.17, in October±0.16, in November ±0.10,

in December± 0.13.

　　　　　15. Mr. J. I. PLUMMER determined the time, attended to clocks, chronometers, chronograph and time-ball and reduced transit observations. Mr. F. G. FIGG issued weather-forecasts and storm- warnings, drew storm-tracks, and made magnetic observations. Miss DOBERCK attended to marine meteorology, and the native assistant, under close supervision by Mr. FIGG and myself, attended to the meteorological instruments and the construction of meteorological tables, assisted by the native staff of computers and telegraphists.

The

　　　　　16. 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. solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height: The rim of the rain-gauge is 105 feet above M.S.L., and 21 inches above the ground.

17. 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 barograins.

　　　　　Tables II. and III. exhibit the temperature of the air and of evaporation as determined by aid of rotating thermometers. Table II. exhibits also the extreme temperatures reduced to rotating ther- mometer by comparisons of thermometers hung beside them. Table III. exhibits also the solar radia- tion (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 nained, but the direction is read off at the hour.

　　　　　Table VIII. exhibits the amount (0--10), name (Howard's classification) and direction whence coming of the clouds. Where the names of upper and lower clouds are given, but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds. With regard to the names of clouds: nimbus (nim) is entered only when the rain is seen to fall; when no rain is seen to fall cumulo-nimbus (cum-nim) is entered. This name indicates clouds intermediate between cum and nim. Cumulo-stratus (cum-str) is the well-known thunder cloud, while strato-cumulus (str-cum) signifies a cloud intermediate between stratus and cum. Sin-cum means alto-cumulus.

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

Below this is printed a list of the phenomena observed.

18. The following annual Weather Report for 1898 is arranged as follows:-

　　　　　Table III. exhibits the mean values for the year (or hourly excess above this) obtained from the monthly reports. The total duration of rain was 809 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on 141 days.

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

Table V. 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, eg, half of the days when the wind was NNE are counted as N, and the other half as NE. Table VI. exhibits the number of days on which certain meteorological phenomena were regis- tered, and also the total number of thunderstorms noted in the neighbourhood during the past year.

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

Table VIII. is arranged as last year.

Table IX. exhibits the monthly and annual extremes.

Table X. contains five-day means.

Appendix A.

Results of XV Years' meteorological observations made at the Hongkong Observatory.

　　　In Appendix B to my annual report for the year 1893 (Observations and Researches in 1893 p. 20) are given ten years' means for the daily variation of the meteorological elements. The follow- ing table shows the fifteen years' means of the annual and monthly values of the meteorological elements. It also shows the probable upper and lower limits of certain of those values, so determined that in future years the actual values observed are as likely to fall outside as they are to fall within. those limits. For instance, the mean temperature of January 1897 being 63°.1, by inspecting the following table, where the upper limit is given as 61°.1 for January, we learn that this month was unusually warm in 1897,--but the total rainfall for June 1896 being 18.630 inches while the upper probable limit for June is 22.792, we learn that this month was not unusually wet in 1896,-or the total rain-fall for May 1885 being 4.860, while the lower limit for the month is 5.178 shows that May was unusually dry in 1885. By applying the laws of chance a number of probabilities can be deter- mined when such limits are known

　　　The observations of declination and horizontal force published in Tables XII, XIII. and XIV. were made with magnet No. 55 on Kew pattern unifilar magnetometer Elliott Brothers No. 55 (unless otherwise stated) and with magnets No. 83 and 83A on magnetometer No. 83. The dip observa- tions were made with dip-circle Dover No. 71, as usual.

　　　The vibrations made with inertia bars published in Table XIV. furnish the moments of inertia by comparison with corresponding vibrations without the bars published in Table XIII.

　　　The observations of horizontal force are expressed in C.G.S. units but the monthly synopsis in Table XV. exhibits also the vertical and total forces (computed by aid of the observed dips), and exhibit's them also in British units and in Gauss's units. The value of log K for 25° Cent. was for

72K magnet No. 55 3.44938.00007 before cleaning, and 3.44901 0.00009 after cleaning, for No. 83 3.44851±0.00009, and for No. 83A. 3.46870±0.00004. The induction coefficient used was, for No. 55, 5.189±0.055, for No. 83, 5.151±0.084, and for No. 83A, 6.160±0.084. The temperature- reductions of m, the magnetic moments of the magnets, were as follows:--

No. 55 (Hongkong 1886): +0.000260t+ 0.00000244t

No. 83 (Kew 1897): + 0.000283t + 0.00000102?2

No. 83a. (Kew 1897):+0.000384t+ 0.00000166?2

　　　　The times of vibration exhibited in Tables XIII. and XIV. are each derived from 12 observations of the time occupied by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chronometer and arc of vibration. The vibrations made with the inertia bar are usually the mean of vibrations made before and after vibrations taken without the bar.

　　　The mean value of the magnetic moment of magnet No. 55 was 0.44794 in British units and 584.82 in C.G.S. units.

Magnet No. 55 was cleaned and readjusted at the end of November, 1898.

In order to compare the results obtained with the different instruments it is necessary to know the probable errors so as to be able to judge how much of the difference is due to chance and how much to other causes. The probable errors may be estimated to be about the following rate of chronometer 0.1, torsion (for 90°) 0'.1, temperature (°.5, induction 2 %, observed period of vibration 0.0004, moment of inertia 0.00012, circle readings 10", value of P 1.0. The following errors in the value of the horizontal force (expressed in units of the fifth decimal) are caused by these errors in the elements by error of temperature 4, through vibration, and 4, through deflection, by induction-error 1, by vibration error 4, by moment of inertia 5, by defective circle readings 4, by wrong P 20. The probable error of a horizontal force is therefore about 0.00022. In England, where the horizontal force is only half of that in Hongkong, the probable error also ought to be about half of that in Hong- kong.

　　　From direct comparison of observations a smaller value of the error (say 0.00013) might be obtained as they are often reduced without changing K and P. The moment of inertia was deter- mined at 25° Cent. for magnet 55 by using its own bar to be 3.44938+0.00007 and by the bar supplied with No. 83 to be 3.44968±0.00008: After cleaning it came out as 3.44901±0.00009 by its own bar, as 3.44941±0.00023 by the bar of 83, and as 3,44874±0.00005 by the bar of 83A. These differences may be caused by minute internal cavities in the different bars. The moments of inertia adopted for each magnet have been observed with its own bar. A part of the differences of the results obtained with different magnetometers is due to this cause.

It has been suggested that the differences between magnetometers are due to traces of magnetic metals in the magnetometers. In Hongkong we have not found any perceptible difference between the old instrument made in 1883 and the new instrument made in 1897.

With reference to the induction coefficient, this has been obtained for both the horizontal and vertical position of the magnet by aid of the following formula :-

m tan(-4') X tan(+6)

and

m tan (4-6') tani X tan(+6)

We therefore have for magnet No. 55 μ1 =5.189±0.055 and μ, =5.377±0.093 while the value obtained at Kew in 1883 was 4.9. Similarly we have for magnet No. 83 μ1 =5.151±0.084 and μ、=5.480±0.151, while the value obtained at Kew was 4.962; and for No. 83A 6.160±0.084 and 6.482±0.151 while the value obtained at Kew was 6.047. The probable error of a single observed is 0.146, and of a single μ, it is 0.262, so that the latter is about double the former because the vertical force is so small here. It will be seen from the table that a smaller value of the coefficient results from using smaller deflections, though the effect of this is so small that it may almost be attri- buted to chance. The induction coefficient of No. 55 shows no sign of change in course of sixteen years. No. 83 appears to have been made from the same steel tube, but No. 83A was inade of another tube of different steel and shows larger temperature and induction coefficients. The values obtained at Kew, where the vertical force is large and where only vertical induction is observed, agree best with the values obtained at Hongkong, where the horizontal force is large, with the magnet hori- zontal. The differences between the values obtained in the two positions are larger than the probable errors of the differences and must be ascribed to the fact that the induced magnetism is not distributed over the magnet in the same manner as the permanent magnetism. Magnets destined for use near the magnetic poles ought therefore to be examined in the horizontal position at Kew.

The determination of P is very precarious and probably the difference between the results obtained with different magnetometers depends mainly upon errors made in the determinations of that constant which affects the third decimal of the horizontal force. Its determination is extremely liable to be vitiated by even small magnetic disturbances in horizontal force and still more by disturbances in declination. It does therefore not help matters much when P is separately determined each day, and the changes in P obtained in that way are evidently not to be trusted, even when the deflections have been observed with the greatest care, when the torsion has been reduced to a minimum, and precau- tions have been taken to protect the silk fibre from changes in humidity during the progress of the observations. According to Lamont's theory the lengths of the magnets are so selected as to make P very small, while no steps are taken to reduce Q, which being divided by the fourth power of the distance has an only minute effect on m: X. P and Q depend upon the "lengths of the magnets.' If the magnet loses more magnetism near its middle than elsewhere, this "length" increases and vice versa, but when the progressive decrease of the magnetic moment has become so steady as in case of No. 55 it is not likely that changes in its P constant cau amount to as much as the observations directly indicate. The effect of the P correction is very much decreased by observing at greater distances, for instance at 36 and 48, but at least in Hongkong even if m were kept as large as pos- sible, the angles of deflection are then so much decreased that the observations must be indefinitely multiplied in order to attain to any accuracy especially on account of sinal magnetic disturbances. On the other hand it is scarcely legitimate to approach the magnets as close to each other as 24 centimeters.

From observations made with No. 55 at 5 different distances between January 19 and February 7, 1899, it follows that the correction to the horizontal force obtained with distances 30 and 40 only ( P + 7.614) requires a correction of +.00011, while with 3 distances between January 3rd and 5th follows-.00018 (P 4.997). The correction to No. 83 from 5 distances, January 9 to 12, is +.00015 to the force obtained from 30 and 40 alone (P+8.91). In case of $3A there seems to be no correction.

From 7 comparisons between 83 and 55, each used on its own magnetometer, it follows that the horizontal force obtained with the former exceeds that with the latter by .60069±.00008, while from 3 comparisons between 83A and 55 the former exceeds the latter by .00035.00004. The former were compared throughout the year, the latter on only a few days, but the latter comparison was made

from simultaneous observations.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　As explained above the probable errors are not trustworthy. In course of time with changed P different results inay be expected. These corrections are applied to all observations made with the new magnetometer.

　　　Table XVI. exhibits the means of 15 years' observations, but as no observations were made from May, 1890, till April, 1891, inclusive, less weight has been attributed to 1890 and 1891. The values for other months without observations were interpolated. All the results have been referred to the middle of the year by applying corrections for secular variation. The monthly means refer, as far as secular variation is concerned, to the middle of 1891. All the observations were made early in the afternoon, but as no correction for daily variation has been applied, the annual and semi-annual inequalities have not been determined.

SHIPPING.

1. The total tonnage entering and clearing amounted to 17,265,780 tons, being an increase com- pared with 1897 of 1,327,606 tons, and over three-quarters of a million tons more than in any pre- vious year.

There were 39,815 arrivals of 8,648,274 tons, and 39,814 departures of 8,617,506 tons.

Of British ocean-going tonnage 2,597,342 tons entered, and 2,580,187 tons cleared.

4. For vessels under the British flag this table shows a large numerical increase, but a com- paratively small tonnage increase (673 vessels of 436,882 tons). This is accounted for by an increase in small steamers running to Macao and Canton and the West River Ports, amounting to 759 vessels "in and out" measuring 143,398 registered tons, and at the same time a decrease in lorchas on the same route of 257 vessels of 12,896 tons, the balance, viz., 502 vessels of 130,502 tons, represents the increase in the River trade and this, being deducted from the figures given above, leaves a total exclusively in favour of ocean-going traffic under the British flag of 171 vessels "in and out," aggregating 306,380 tons, or an average of about 1,800 tons per vessel.

For vessels under Foreign flags there is a substantial increase over 1897 (441 vessels measuring 681,252 registered tons), of this, two West River steamers represent 91 vessels and 5,925 tons, and the lorchas take another 1,121 tons. Taking these two items into account, a balance is found in favour of ocean-going traffic under Foreign flags, of 359 vessels representing 674,206 registered tons. Of this balance the vessels under the Japanese flag contributed the largest share by 177 vessels measuring 406,179 tons about one-half of which, or 52 vessels of 196,968 tons, goes to the credit of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha" (European line) and 25,426 tons to the three new Pacific Liners, the balance of increase under this flag was made up by outside steamers attracted by the enhanced freights on coal and rice in the first half of the

year.

Next in order come vessels under the German flag; after deducting the lorcha trade which has dropped out altogether, and those old friends who have left us, we still have an increase over 1897 of 39 vessels of 144,889 tons. The new steamers of the Hamburg-American Line are the chief contributors to this increase, the first of these steamers arrived here in March and at the end of the year they are credited with 34 vessels "in and out" representing 116,670 tons. Nine new ships under this flag also called here during the year representing in the aggregate "in and out" 25 vessels and 22,044 tons, in these last were comprised 3 coal hulks en route for Kiaochow and 3 cruisers for the Chinese Government.

The Norwegian flag shows an increase of 125 vessels of 88,899 tons, made up chiefly by 11 new steamers and the return to these waters of some of the older vessels which were away in 1897.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899.

　　　　The American flag contributes to the increase 30,778 tons, chiefly owing to the chartered transports which called here after the fall of Manila, and to the adoption by the Northern Pacific Co. of American nationality.

Danish colours give an increase of 15,641 tons, due to the ships of the East Asiatic Co. which called here first in May and continued during the year.

The Chinese flag showed an increase of 12,159 tons.

The Swedish flag deserted us during the year, taking about 24,000 tons, and other nationalities call for no special remarks.

　　　　5. The actual number of ships of European construction-exclusive of River steamers-which entered the Port in 1898 was 556, being 239 British and 317 Foreign, these entered in the aggregate 3,564 times giving a total tonnage of 4,871,213 tons; in 1897 the ships numbered 592 and the entries 3,427; in 1896 the ships were 579 and the entries 3,285; the total tonnage in 1896 was 4,487,767 and in 1897 it was 4,369,563. The feature in 1898 is that fewer ships made more frequent returns and gave a large increase in tonnage.

TRADE.

7. The year 1898 was marked by a large deal in rice and coal and by the introduction of the trade in Bulk Oil from Langkat (Sumatra).

A demand for rice in Japan created a market which was largely availed of, and the returns for the first half of the year show that 469,000 tons were reported by ships entering, which was over 100,000 tons more than during the whole of 1897, and of which the bulk was en route for Japan. The import continued in a lessened degree during the second half and at the end of the year 747,000 tons had been reported, being more than double what it was in 1897.

Coal in the first half year showed an increase of 120,000 tons and by the end of the year 817,967 tons had been reported as arriving, being an increase over 1897 of about 36%.

Bulk oil, which made a large stride in the first half year, fell off in the second half, but the year shows an increase of 19,580 tons. Case oil was practically the same as in 1897. Sugar and four show a considerable increase, and the Import Return closes with a nett increase over 1897 of 645,428 tons of cargo reported.

In exports, a nett increase of 552,072 tons of European-constructed shipping reported an increase of 137,979 tons of cargo.

The transit return gives an incresse of 167,860 tons,

There can be no necessity for me to again refer to the fact that we are entirely dependent for the above figures on gratuitous information compiled together without any special staff or machinery.

8. Using the classification adopted in previous years we find that the total import trade of 1898 was represented by 35,005 yessels aggregating 8,453,983 tons, carrying 5,958,465 tons of cargo, of which 3,938,143 tons were discharged in Hongkong.

　　　Comparing the above with 1897 we get the gratifying result that in 1898 the Import trade of the Colony was increased from all parts of the world, and that this increase amounted in the aggregate to 659,833 tons of cargo discharged. Further, we find that, during the same period and by the same means, others were benefitted also, for the cargo in transit was advanced by 167,860 tons.

In Exports generally there was an increase of 1,205 ships and 229,151 tons of cargo:

9. During the year 11,058 vessels of European construction, aggregating 13,252,733 registered tons, carried 8,143,656 tons of cargo made up as follows:-

10. A review of the junk trade of the Colony, may not be without interest at the present time. In the early days of the Colony's history. Piracy in its neighbourhood was more or less common; In his Annual Report for 1865 the Harbour Master says "There can be little doubt but that every armed junk becomes a pirate when an opportunity offers," and in 1868, after the introduction of the "Harbour and Coast" Ordinance, he says "Formerly there was good reason to suppose that piratical vessels were fitted out in this harbour, Free Trade amongst junks had become Free Licence and these piratical pests of our waters had unmolested ingress and egress at all hours of the night and day."

Ordinance No. 6 of 1866-"The Harbour and Coast Ordinance."--which came into force on 1st January, 1867, made provision for the regulation and control of junks; most of its provisions have been re-enacted from time to time since, and the regulations now in force are for all practical purposes the same as in 1867 and are briefly as follows :----

Junks are divided into two classes:-

(1) Unlicensed Junks and

(2) Licensed Junks.

These classes are again divided into :-

(1) Trading Junks and

(2) Fishing Junks.

Unlicensed Junks are required-

Unlicensed Junks.

(1) To anchor in certain places called "Anchorages for Junks" and from which they may

not remove without permission.

(2) To report their arrival.

(3) To give notice of intended departure.

(4) Not to leave at night.

Licensed Junks.

　　　Any junk, on complying with certain conditions as to giving security, &c. may be granted a licence by the Harbour Master, either for trading or fishing, for which a fee is paid, the maximum being $20 a year.

She then obtains the following advantages:

(1) No restriction as to place of anchoring.

(2) On payment of a fee of 25 cents she is granted a Special Permit, good for one month,

absolving her from reporting each arrival and intended departure.

(3) If a Fishing Junk, she is granted a permit, on payment of a fee of 25 cents, allowing

her to leave during certain hours of the night, and early morning!

In 1867, 20,787 Trading Junks of 1,367,702 tons entered, and 20,443 of 1,353,700 tons cleared. In addition 1,444 Fishing Junks were licensed during the year and the greater number of these came in or left daily during the winter months.

　　　In 1898, 29,466 Junks of 1,814,281 tons entered and 29,470 of 1,812,473 tons cleared, also 5,379 Fishing Junks were licensed.

In 1868, Customs Stations were established in the vicinity of the Colony by the Viceroy of Canton, primarily for the collection of Opium "Lekin and Opium duty," but this soon became extended, and a levy of lekin and duty on all imports and exports was made at these stations (see Sir JAMES RUSSELL's report 1886), and in 1869 the Harbour Master reported "I think the decrease in tonnage in Junks can reasonably be attributed to the existence of these Stations (Customs) and to the activity of the cruisers attached to them.'

In 1874 a Commission, which had been appointed to enquire into "complaints made against the action of the Chinese Maritime Customs in the neighbourhood of the Colony and the alleged detri- ment to trade arising from such action," submitted their report. They found in the course of their investigation "that a most vexatious system of blockading is kept up at all the entrances to the harbour by a number of boats in the employ of the Hoppo of Canton, the salt farmer, and the collector of the lekin tax, and that these craft continually make use of and encroach into the waters of the Colony and actually capture junks therein."

The proceedings of these blockaders, which were gravest in character were the stopping of junks, proceeding on distant voyages with cargoes of lawful merchandise laden in the Colony, and compelling them to go to Canton and pay duty on their cargo-a practice which was carried on extensively; and further, the seizure of junks bound to the Colony from ports in Formosa and elsewhere and the taking of these to Canton to be mulcted in heavy sums, or possibly to be condemned and sold.

　　　The Commission advised that, Her Majesty's Government should endeavour "to prevail on the Government of China to remove altogether the Customs Stations and Cruisers from the neighbour- hood of the island, and to arrange that duties be collected only at those ports or places at which there exists an export or import trade, and that should the Chinese Government refuse to remove the Stations and criusers altogether, it might be urged upon them to remove these to a greater distance than they are at present, say, not nearer in any case than ten miles from the entrances to the harbour."

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899. xi

Whatever may have been the cause, it appears that after 1875 the junk trade, as represented by the Harbour Master's returns, began to improve, and in his report for 1877 the Harbour Master said It was the general opinion, and I shared in that view, that the blockade would have a tendency to, check the trade and consequent prosperity of the Colony, but in the face of the figures which these returns exhibit, I am unable any longer to see that the effect of the blockade has been so detrimental as it was thought it would be." The figures referred to shewed in 1878 an increase over 18770￡ 1,186 junks entering, and the Harbour Master attributed some of this increase to more correct records being kept, in consequence of an additional outstation at Yaumati. However, there were still com- plaints of the seizure of native craft carrying so-called "contraband."

　　　　　From 1877 to 1887 the junk trade, according to the Harbour Master's Reports, fluctuated be- tween 1,600,000 and 1,800,000 tons entered yearly. The highest figures ever attained previously being 28,340 junks of 1,871,810 tons entered in 1872.

　　　　　In 1887 as a result of the Commission which sat in pursuance of the Chefoo Agreement (1876), and the additional Article to the Agreement (1885) the collection of duties on goods imported and exported in junks, devolved upon the Foreign Collectorate of the Chinese Maritime Customs, and the Customs Stations round Hongkong were placed under the direction and supervision of a European Commissioner (Mr. F. A. Morgan).

　　　　　It cannot, I think, be denied that, even since this change was made, just causes of complaint have at times arisen, and I am persuaded that causes of complaint will continue to arise if the Customs officers are vigilant and zealous, the difference from the old state of things being that, vigilance and zeal will be the disturbing causes, instead of rapacity and dishonesty. The only real panacea is the removal of the primary cause, viz., the Customs Stations themselves.

　　　　　A careful consideration of all points of the question which occur to me draws me to the con- clusion that, inconvenient though it is, and contrary to the usual manner of nations, we have up to the present no right to object to these Stations; I do not think we have any legitimate grievance against the Chinese Government because it endeavours to prevent junks trading to Chinese Ports with what it declares to be contraband, or to smuggle dutiable goods, no matter where the cargoes have been obtained, always provided that this does not lead to a violation of our territorial waters and that vessels and goods to and from Hongkong are not subjected to any other charges beyond what has been fixed by Treaty.

　　　　　At the same time I consider that we allow our hospitality to err, even to indiscretion, and we put a weapon in their brands to be used against us, when we allow a Chinese Customs establishment in our midst, for there can be little doubt that by this means our prestige suffers in the eyes of the natives, and what perhaps is of more practical importance, an intimate knowledge can be obtained in the Colony of trading transactions, which, perfectly lawful and harmless so. far as our Free Port is concerned, may in China be subject to those Rules appended to the Tariff, which restrict the import of certain descriptions of goods except under special conditions.

But whatever may be said of the present practice of closely investing our port with Customs Stations on all sides and in its midst, it must be allowed that, with the exception of the latter, all these Stations are in Chinese territory, and their closeness may be excused on the ground of the geogra- phical position of the base of operations of those whose business theirs is to watch. The small island of Hongkong with its 50,000 or 60,000 junks annually coming and going, over five-sixths of which trade to and from the Sun On and West River and Canton Districts and all of which radiate to all points of the Compass within an hour or two of leaving this Free Port, offers some reason for the Chinese Government pressing home its revenue protectors as close as they can. That reason dis- appears, however, with the extension of British territory, and the protector's line should fall back simultaneously with this extension, and China should protect her revenue in the same way as any other country does, namely, at her ports of entry and clearance instead of reversing the practice of civilization and protecting it at the Foreign Ports to which she exports and from which she imports.

　　　　　How far the existence of these Customs Stations has interfered with our junk trade in the past is problematical, and the only solution to be arrived at is by inference, since all direct proof is wanting. There can be no question as to China's undoubted right to collect her Customs revenue somewhere, in her own territory or waters, and it is impossible to say that our junk trade would have been larger if she had collected her Customs duties at the ports of origin and destination of the goods, instead of at intermediate stations close on our border.

　　　　In 1884 our junk tonnage was 49°/% of the European tonnage, in 1897 it was only 28 and, if certain Licensed Junks which are engaged by the Conservancy and Dust Contractors and which have only been taken into our returns during the last few years, were omitted, the decrease would be even more marked.

　　　　　On the other hand, our returns show an increase of European ocean-going tonnage since 1889 of 25.33% while the Customs returns show an increase in the number of junks trading to and from Hongkong and passing the stations, of 30.37 %, and it is very probable that the Customs returns are far more accurate with regard to junks than our own, the circumstances of a Free Port, added to the difficulty of distinguishing and identifying native craft, together with the well-known proficiency with

xii

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899.

which Chinese lie without hesitation, renders the task of keeping an absolutely correct return of some 50,000 or 60,000 junks annually almost impossible with a staff of two Junk Inspectors in Victoria and no one at the outstations whose sole duty it is, and I am forced to the conclusion that a number of these junks come and go without leaving any trace on our records. In 1897 as in 1877 more correct returns would in all probability account for a further apparent increase in the junk trade, but this correctness cannot be arrived at without additional staff and expenditure.

　　　In 1893, this Department began to try to gauge the amount of cargo tons represented by the registered tonnage of the Shipping frequenting the Port. There is no special staff or machinery for this and its correctness or otherwise depends on reports and returns made direct from the Shipping, or through its Agents.

In 1893 the amount of cargo discharged from European ocean-going shipping was given as 2,717,910 tons. In that year Junk exported 845, 177 tons. In 1897 the European cargo was 2,596,458 and Junks exported 684,320. Assuming for the moment that the cargo exported by junks was entirely made up of that discharged from the ocean-going European ships, these junks distributed 31% in 1893, and 26.3% in 1897, showing no great decrease, particularly as owing to the decreased importa- tion of rice, 1897 was a bad year for junks.

　　　But the Customs returns furnish a still better fact from which to draw our inference, namely the value of the trade in junks between Hongkong and China. In 1888 this was Hk. Tls. 33,495,526, in 1893 it was 39,938,740, and in 1897 it was 39,991,611 giving an increase of 19% in the 10 years to put against an increase of 25% in the register tonnage of European ocean-going shipping during the same period.

8,739,878 13,027,228 3,939,890 23,024,493 39,991,611

Still another test that can be applied is this. In 1893 (the first year that we collected the cargo returns) European tonnage discharged 2,717,910 tons of cargo and the value of the foreign goods exported from Hongkong to China by junk, according to the Customs return, was Hk. Tls. 17,663,217 or in the ratio of 1 ton to 6.4 Hk. Tls., in 1896 the ratio had risen to 1 ton to 8 Hk. Tle., but it dropped in 1897 to 1 ton to 5 Hk. Tls., owing, in the opinion of the Commissioner of Customs, to transit privileges favouring at that time shipments in European bottoms instead of in junks.

Whether or not there should be a fixed ratio between total European tonnage and the total junk tonnage frequenting the port, is, I think, very doubtful, because, in the first place, junks are not the sole distributors, except to non-treaty Ports with which it is probable trade does not expand rapidly, and, in the next place, the European tonnage is not solely employed in the carriage of goods to be distributed from Hongkong as a centre, for a not inconsiderable portion of the cargoes is in transit to more distant ports.

　　　In 1893 the cargo discharged in Hongkong from ocean-going ships amounted to 74% of the registered tonnage arriving, and the transit cargo was 36%, in 1897 the cargo discharged was only 59% while the transit cargo had gone up to 42°/。.

　　　More probable does it appear that, if the junk trade has any fixed relation to anything it is to the quantity of rice imported from Cochin China and Siam. The bearing which this has on the junk trade will be very clearly seen from the annexed diagram which is prepared from the informa- tion contained in the Customs return.

18. The following Courts have been held during the

1. On the 3rd and 4th May, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the stranding of the British Steam-ship "Sishan," Official No. 89,083 of London, near the Middle Rocks, China Sea, on the 22nd April, 1898. The Master's (John Jenkins) Certificate of Competency was suspend- ed for one month.

　　　2. On the 20th and 21st May, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the stranding of the British Steam-ship " Ching Po," Official No. 107,013 of Hongkong, on the West River, China, on the 23rd and 24th March, 1898. The Master's (Peter Ryves Marsh) Certificate of Competency was suspended for four months.

SUNDAY CARGO-WORKING.

(Ordinance No. 6 of 1891.)

19. During the year 258 Permits were issued, under the provisions of the Ordinance; of these 65 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 case, and 22 Permits were issued free of charge to Mail steamers.

The revenue collected under this heading was $25,925; this was $14,075 more than 1897. The Revenue Collected each year since the Ordinance came into force is as follows :

1892, 1893,

1894,

1895,

1896,

1897,

1898,

.$ 4,800

$ 7,900

.$13,375

.$11,600

.$ 7,575

.$11,850

$25,925

As a revenue raising measure, therefore, it has been very successful, as a prevention of Sunday work, however, not much can be said for it; 10% of the total ocean-going tonnage entering availed of it in 1893 and 7°/。 in 1898.

SEAMEN

20. 18,894 seamen were shipped, and 21,504 discharged, at the Mercantile Marine Office and on board ships during the

year.

232 "Distressed Seamen" were received during the year; of these 37 were sent to the United Kingdom, 1 to Singapore, 1 to Melbourne, 3 to Sydney, 1 to Vancouver, 4 died, 160 obtained employ- ment, 2 remained at the Victoria Gaol, 3 at the Government Civil Hospital and 20 at the Sailors' Home.

$5,019.33 were expended by the Harbour Master on behalf of the Board of Trade in the relief of these "Distressed Seamen " and $98.33 by the Colony.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.

21. Return No. XXII. shows the work performed by this branch of the Harbour Department, and in forwarding this I again desire to record my appreciation of the manner in which the work of this sub-department is carried out.

　　　In my Annual Report for 1894 I referred at length to the case of the Government Marine Surveyor and his Assistant, and I reproduced an extract from a report made by me in a letter dated 14th June, 1892, as follows:-

"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.

(

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899. xvii

"It is, therefore, most important that the work of surveying vessels should be carried "on as expeditiously 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 neces- sary 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 eight hours, spread over a number of visits, about four. The time "consumed, however, on this work is often considerably in excess of this eight hours, as the ship 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 amalga "mated 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."

In the same report (1894) I compared the work done at Hongkong by two men with the work done at Liverpool by eleven men and at Cardiff by six men, and I showed that at Liverpool there were about 40 vessels of 92,000 tons per surveyor and at Cardiff 27 vessels of 53,000 tons, while at Hongkong with all its disadvantages of climate, &c., we had 56 vessels of over 100,000 tons to each surveyor.

　　　　Once more I must dwell on this subject; the amount of work performed by our surveyors con- tinues to increase and, that it becomes necessary for me to draw attention to it is, I think, ample testi- mony that it is satisfactorily performed, for we all know that public duties ill performed soon declare themselves.

During the eleven months January-November, 1898, the tonnage surveyed at Liverpool was 967,762 tons, in Hongkong during the year 324,610 tons were surveyed, this gives 100,454 tons per surveyor at Liverpool and 162,305 tons per surveyor at Hongkong.

The Revenue derived by the Colony from the work performed by the Marine Surveyors has increased from $10,055.87 in 1890 to $12,634.05 in 1898, the "overtime" fees alone in 1898 amounting to $570.

　　　　The Government Marine Surveyors are again presenting a respectful petition asking for a con- sideration of their position and an augmentation of their pay, and this I sincerely trust will meet with the success which, I think, it deserves.

Telegraphic and telephonic communication has been kept up with the Gap Rock and Cape D'Aguilar during the year. From the former station 829 vessels have been reported as passing, and in addition 215 messages were received and 3,402 sent, including the daily weather report for the Observatory.

From Cape D'Aguilar 1,269 vessels were reported, and in addition 1,829 messages were sent and 24 received.

35 hours and 10 minutes of fog were reported from Gap Rock during the year, and the fog signal gun was fired 223 times. On three occasions the fortnightly relief could not be effected owing to the rough sea.

BILE INOCULATION FOR RINDERPEST.

The GOVERNMENT VETERINARY SURGEON to the Ilon, the COLONIAL SECRETARY.

Colombo, October 10, 1898.

SIR, WITH reference to annexed extract from my diary-re inoculation of bulls-I have the honour to state, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that Mr. Jeffery reports that all the bulls have done well and have had no disease. No cases of rinderpest have occurred for the last month. The yard is now free from the disease.

I am, &c.,

G. W. STURGESS, Government Veterinary Surgeon.

Annexure.

EXTRACT FROM THE DIARY OF THE GOVERNMENT VETERINARY SURGEON.

VISIT to dairy. All satisfactory.

The four inoculated bulls in Lipton's yard have been tied now for a week by the side of a sick animal-in infected sheds (the sheds where all the cases have been kept)-and will be washed and removed to-day. None of them have been ill, and none have contracted rinderpest; consequently the bile experiments may be said to be very satisfactory, and I shall go on with the inoculation wherever possible. I am quite prepared to inoculate any herd amongst which rinderpest breaks out, as long as good bile can be obtained from those that die or are destroyed for the purpose, and there should be no difficulty about that. In a good many cases the bile is yellow and unfit for use (it must be quite liquid, dark green in colour, and devoid of smell), but in a good percentage of the fatal cases the bile is quite fit for use.

One thing, I am satisfied that if the inoculation is carried out with proper precautions it does no harm, even if it does no good.

Not one of the animals I inoculated has developed an abscess or sore of any kind at the seat of inoculation, and there has been no appreciable illness. Mr. Jeffery, to whom I am greatly indebted for so kindly allowing me to carry out the experiments with his cattle and for the ready assistance he has given to me, expresses his satisfaction with the results, and should the disease break out again in the yard (it has apparently disappeared now) the remainder of the bulls will be inoculated. I shall write a special report of the procedure, &c., adopted in inoculating with the bile in the course of a few days, as the Government of Madras has asked for information of any experiments and results.

　　　　　　　　REPORT ON BILE INOCULATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF RINDERPEST. DURING the recent outbreak of rinderpest in the town the disease appeared amongst a herd of 150 cart bullocks belonging to Messrs. Lipton, Limited.

Altogether 80 cases occurred: 50 yielded to treatment and recovered, 30 died,

I obtained per- mission to try the bile inoculation method discovered by Dr. Koch in South Africa. He found that the contents of the gall-bladder in cattle dead from rinderpest possesses the property of protecting healthy cattle against the disease. The method of using it is by subcutaneous injection, and protection is given after ten days have elapsed.

The method is of no use for diseased cattle; it is only effective when the cattle have not had the disease.

　　　　I opened several bullocks after death, but the bile was unfit for use for inoculation purposes. However, on 23rd August a large Indian bull died, and on post-mortem examination I found the bile in proper condition for use.

The Bile.

　　　　In a good percentage of fatal cases of rinderpest the bile will be found good for the purpose of inoculation. It should be dark green in colour, perfectly fluid, free from shreds of the lining membrane of the gall-bladder and from any odour of decomposition.

766

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20?? MAY, 1899.

A good number of instances occur where the bile is unfit for use, being yellow or dark brown in colour, ropy in consistency, and containing shreds of the mucous lining of the gall-bladder. Such bile is poisonous and useless. The best bile is that obtained from an animal that has suffered severely from rinderpest for some days, or, better, if it has succumbed to the disease. It must be taken before decomposition of the body commences.

　　　In instances where it has been good I have noticed it was usually very abundant, a half to one pint being easily obtained.

Method of taking the Bile.

Great care must be taken in removing the bile in order to avoid contamination by blood, or con- tents of the intestines, or by fluid of any kind in the abdominal cavity.

The carcase should be placed on the left side and the abdominal cavity opened by cutting along the median line from the extremity of the sternum to the pubis and behind the last rib down to the backbone. An assistant can then raise the flap, and the liver and gall-bladder lying underneath the ribs are well exposed.

The gall-bladder should be slightly raised with the hand, and if dirty washed with a weak solution of bichloride of mercury in water (1 in 2,000). An assistant holds a glass jar against the gall-bladder (taking care not to allow any blood or any extraneous matter to enter it), which is then punctured with a sharp knife and the bile allowed to flow into the jar. A glass cover should be placed over the jar as soon as the operation is finished.

My hands, jars, and instruments were well washed and rinsed with a bichloride of mercury solution (I in 2,000) and dried.

As previously mentioned, I obtained in this manner from an Indian bullock half a pint of bile fit for use.

The animal died from the disease after suffering for a week. At once four healthy bulls were inoculated.

Method of Inoculation.

The animals were cast and the legs tied, and 10 cubic centimetres (about 3 drams) of bile gently injected under the loose skin in front of the chest.

As the needle of the syringe is withdrawn, the skin should be pinched between the finger and thumb at the point of insertion, to prevent any of the bile coming out again and to close the wound. The part should be gently manipulated to insure distribution of the bile in the subcutaneous tissue.

Particulars of Experiments.

August 23.-Four bulls received an injection of 10 cubic centimetres of bile into the dewlap. They had not had rinderpest.

August 25.-All eating and looking well. Swelling commencing at the seat of inoculation. August 26.-All well. All four had a fairly hard swelling, the size of a man's fist, at the seat of inoculation.

August 28. All well. August 30.-All well.

Swelling decreasing.

Hardly any swelling at all.

September 4.-The ten days in which protection is said to be given having elapsed, the four bulls were tied in the infected sheds along with animals suffering from rinderpest, in order to see if they contracted the disease.

　　　　September 10.-The four bulls having been exposed to infection for a week were washed with a disinfectant solution and sent back to work the following Monday, 12th. None of them were ill in the slightest degree.

II.

　　　　August 28.--Two bulls died, and on post-mortem examination I found the bile good in one case and unfit for use in the other. In the former the bull had suffered badly and died after three days. I inoculated six healthy bulls and a calf.

　　　　August 30.-All eating and looking well. A large swelling at the seat of inoculation, the size of a football.

September 6.All well. The swelling at the chest has been gradually decreasing for some days. All the six were sent back to work again.

　　　　October 6.-After a month none have been ill in any way. None of them had sores or abscesses at the chest, or suffered in the slightest degree from the inoculation.

　　　　Experiments will be continued when the opportunity arises. The method is very simple and quite harmless, if properly carried out.

The following Report of the Acting Registrar General for 1898 is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th May, 1899.

767

J. G. T. BUCKLE, for the Colonial Secretary.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 14th April, 1899.

SIR, I have the honour to make the following Report on the work of this Department for the year 1898.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.

The revenue collected during the year amounted to $127,610.73 as against $113,759.66 collected in 1897. Apart from the item Certificates of Identity issued to Chinese in which there is an increase of $4,793, substantial increases are to be noted under the headings: Hawkers, Boats, and Markets. The increase of $4,202.93 in the Market Revenue comes principally from the Central, the Western, and the Saiyingpun Markets. That in the Central is partly due to an increase which I effected in August in the rents of 56 of the stalls, mostly fish and vegetable stalls, after satisfying myself that there was no injustice to the tenants in raising the rents. The total monthly increase was $192.25-an average increase of 70 per cent. for each stall. In the Western Market the increase is due in a large measure to the inclusion in the Market of the basements of four houses in Queen's Road. These basements, situated in a very favourable position, close to the entrance, are now leased by the Government and have been sub-let for $234 a month. The increase of 16 per cent. in the revenue from Hawkers' Licences is probably to be attributed to the lenient way in which the Police enforce the law against depositing wares on the roads. The increase in the revenue from Boat Licences is due to an increase in the number of cargo-boats and lighters. The fee for Certificates of Identity to Chinese desirous of entering the United States was raised in April from $25 to $50. I anticipate a decrease in the revenue from this source next year, as according to instructions issued in July by the Government of the United States, several classes of persons, who until then had been permitted to enter, are now excluded.

The expenditure during the year was $13,128 as compared with $13,488.95 in 1897.

PO LEUNG KUK INCORPORATION ORDINANCE.

(No. 18 of 1893.)

WOMEN AND GIRLS PROTECTION Ordinance. (No. 9 of 1897.)

　　　　The report of the Po Leung Kuk Society for the year 1898 has been already forwarded to you. The expenditure for the year was a little over $5,000, whilst the revenue from subscriptions and from interest only amounted to something over $2,400. The financial position of the Society occupied the attention of the Permanent Board at more than one meeting, and it was finally resolved to ask for subscriptions from the guilds which subscribe to the Tung Wa Hospital. The guilds have readily agreed to subscribe, but their annual subscriptions will not exceed $2,000 and there is therefore at the lowest computation a gap of $400 to be filled up each year. In the meantime the Society can draw upon the balance remaining from the $30,000 originally subscribed. In July the Society appealed to the Government for an annual grant of $1,000, but their application was refused.

　　　　In June the Society received through the Consul for Japan a silver cup presented by the Bureau for Decoration and Merit in recognition of the protection afforded by the Society to Japanese women who had been fraudulently brought to Hongkong.

The number of women and girls detained under Part II. of Ordinance No. 9 of 1897 was 225. The average number detained each year from 1891 to 1894, inclusive, is 247, and during the succeed- ing four years, 229. Table IIA shews what action was taken in each case, whilst Table IIB gives particulars as to girls who have been handed back to their guardians under security.

　　　　The number of girls reported to the Po Leung Kuk as being missing in Hongkong was 48. Of these only 15 are reported to have been found. The rest, I have little doubt, were kidnapped and sold into brothel slavery.

　　　　　The number of warrants issued under section 30 of Ordinance No. 9 of 1897 to search " brothels was 671, and 17 girls were rescued.

EMIGRATION.

sly

The number of female passengers and boys examined at the Emigration Office and allowed to proceed to their destination was 8,497 as compared with 8,501 in 1897. The number of women detained for enquiries was 67; and of these, 64 were found to have been persuaded to go abroad under false pretences.

768

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20?? MAY, 1899.

CERTIFICATES OF IDENTITY ISSUED to Chinese proceeding to thE UNITED STATES.

The issue of these certificates has entailed a great deal of work on this department. The pro- spect of going to the United States was so inviting that people were willing to pay large sums to get there. Frauds of all kinds were attempted and a syndicate was formed which guaranteed to pass applicants through safely on payment of $400. Independent brokers made as much as $100 on each certificate, and sureties received thirty or forty dollars.

On taking over the work of Registrar General, I found that applicants were only required to shew that they were "other than labourers.' I thought that more was necessary and required that they should also prove that they were what they alleged themselves to be. It quickly followed that appli- cants, who had until then been posing as merchants, now appeared as accountants. When that device failed, they sank to the position of shroffs, and when this proved untenable, they called themselves salesmen or shop-assistants. It has now been laid down that only those who belong to the specifically named exempt classes, viz. :-officials, teachers, students, merchants, or travellers for curiosity or pleasure, can claim a right of entry. This has relieved this office of a great deal of work and the only difficulty remaining is the interpretation of the terms.

In order that the Registrar General may have an opportunity of testing the truth of their state- ments, applicants have to reside six months in the Colony before their applications will be entertained. A bond for $500 is still demanded, but is of no practical use, as the Registrar General has never received the authoritative information necessary to enable him to enforce it, although it is known that several persons in possession of certificates issued by the Registrar General have been refused admission.

506 certificates were issued during the year as against 705 in 1897. The number issued in the first quarter was 246, in the second, 103, in the third, 120, and in the last, 37.

POPULATION.

The following is the estimate of the population of the Colony on the 30th June, 1898 :--

British and Foreign Community.

15,190

MARRIAGES.

Chinese. 239,210

(Ordinance No. 14 of 1875.)

Total.

254,400

The number of Marriages solemnized during the year was 86 as compared with 93 in 1897 and 71 in 1896.

One Civil Marriage celebrated by the Registrar is worthy of notice. Both parties were non- Christian Chinese. The husband had been naturalized as a British subject in one of the Australian Colonies, and the marriage was celebrated to enable his wife to accompany him on his return there.

　　　The number of marriages between Chinese in Victoria on the occasion of which permits to fire crackers were issued, was 265 as compared with 251 in 1897, and 207 in 1896.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS. (Ordinance No. 16 of 1896.)

Table IV gives the number of Births and Deaths registered during the year.

The death-rates at various ages and the causes of death will be found in Tables IV B. and IVC. The Births among the British and Foreign Community were exactly the same in number as in 1897, viz., 243, though the same proportion as regards the sexes was not maintained, the number of boys born being ten more than in 1897.

　　　The Births registered as having occurred in the Chinese Community were 963 as against 1,125 in 1897, and 978 in 1896.

There were 21 prosecutions under the Ordinance in 1898, under the following headings :

Unlawful removal of dead bodies,

Death, failing to report,

......

.......19 cases.

2 ""

　　　The number of Deaths in the British and Foreign Community was 291 as compared with 204 in 1897. Of these 49 died from Plague. The number of deaths among the Chinese was 5,383 as compared with 4,484 in 1897. 1,120 died from Plague. 255 of the deaths among the British and Foreign Community and 1,753 among the Chinese were certified to by a registered Medical Practitioner or were the subject of a Coroner's Enquiry. The following table shows the number of deaths and the death-rate per 1,000 during the last eight years :-

769

Five hundred and twenty-two Removal Certificates were granted for the removal of dead bodies from the Colony.

EXHUMATIONS.

　　　　　Ninety-seven permits were issued to exhume human remains for removal to China or for re-burial in the Colony.

HOSPITAL DEATHS.

　　　　Table IV D contains a return of the number of deaths in hospital. They amounted to 1,725 or 30.40 per cent. of the total number of deaths registered during the year.

　　　　Table IV E gives particulars regarding the Tung Wa Hospital. The number of patients under treatment during the year was 3,019 as compared with 2,896 in the year 1897. Of these, 2,029 were discharged and 842 died. The percentage of deaths to admissions during the year was 35.05. In 1897 the percentage was 35.24, and in 1896, 38.80. The death-rate is thus steadily decreasing.

The number of out-patients during the year was :---

Males, Females,.

62,576 .28,304

.90,880

Total,.....

A slight alteration has been made in the form of this return (Table IV E); the columns formerly reserved for Private Paying Patients and which for four years have stood blank are struck out, whilst room is found for the number of vaccinations performed during the year, the number of bodies buried, and the number of destitutes temporarily housed and fed. The provision of free burial and the restoration of destitutes to their homes are regarded as two of the most important functions of an institution like the Tung Wa Hospital.

REGISTRATION OF Books.

(Ordinance No. 10 of 1888.)

　　　　Eighty books were registered during the year. Of these, 33 were published at Nazareth and five, written in Chinese, dealt with modern subjects.

　　　　The large number of text books of English and English-Chinese Dictionaries published are evidence of the increased attention now being paid by Chinese to the study of the English language.

　　　　The number of books published is increasing year by year. In 1897 it was 66, and in 1896, 34. The usual quarterly returns were published in the Gazette.

REGISTRATION OF HOUSEHOlders.

(Ordinance No. 13 of 1888 Chap. III.)

Table V gives particulars regarding the issue of householders' certificates.

PERMITS.

(Ordinance No. 3 of 1888 Chap. V.)

The nature and number of permits issued during the year were as follows :-

To fire crackers,

To hold processions,

To perform theatricals,

To hold religious ceremonies,.

DISTRICT WATCHMEN.

A full statement of the revenue and expenditure for the year is given in Table VIA, and the state of the force on 31st December, and other particulars will be found in Table VIB.

The District Watchmen were instrumental in bringing 455 cases before the Police Magistrate, and the Committee is indebted to the Chinese Newspapers, the Tsun Wan Yat Po and the Wai San Yat Po, for continuing to publish weekly lists of these cases for the information of subscribers.

It was proposed in February, 1897, to make use of the accumulated balances to the credit of the Fund to build a central watch-house in which to accommodate the watchmen of Districts III, IV, V, and VI. Should the plan be carried out the discipline of the Force would be much improved and a saving effected. The annual rent paid for the premises now rented as watch-houses in the above- named districts is $1,340. The Government was asked to grant a piece of land in the Taipingshan Resumption area, but the matter is still under consideration.

The contributions to the Fund for the year were $8,357.76 as compared with $7,853.75 for the preceding year. The actual expenditure was $11,033.25 as compared with $9,528.78 in 1897. The balance to the credit of the Fund is $8,745.06. In April an allowance of $2.00 a month was made to each watchman on account of the scarcity, almost approaching to famine, which prevailed in the spring and summer. This allowance is still continued as the Committee thinks that the increased cost of living in Hongkong necessitates an increase of pay. Comparing prices with those of two years ago firewood has risen about 35 per cent., oil 30, pork 40, fish 60 and vegetables 100; whilst the rents of Chinese tenement houses in Victoria have risen at least 20 per cent. The increased cost of living is also, I believe, the reason for the number of resignations in the Force in the years 1897 and 1898. These amounted to 27, whilst in the three preceding years there were only 8.

Canton subsidiary coinage now stands at a discount of a little over 2 per cent., and causes a loss on exchange of $74.81. Only 7 per cent. of the subscriptions paid in subsidiary coins is paid in Hongkong coins. This probably represents the actual ratio of the two classes of coin in circulation. There is no reason to believe that Canton coins are "forced" on the collector. The sum paid in each instance is small and the shopman pays the first coins that come to his hand in the till.

CHINESE RECREATION GRound.

　　A statement of revenue and expenditure is given in Table VII. The total expenditure for the year was $721.30, whilst the revenue obtained from the rent of the shops, letter-writers' tables, &c., was $1,347.31. There is a balance of $2,437.45 to the credit of the Fund.

CHARITABLE Funds.

Tables VIII and IX give statements of account of the two Funds administered by this Office.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

　　During the months of May and June the hospital maintained a branch hospital for the treatment of plague cases at Kennedy Town. The extra expenditure was defrayed out of the balance remaining from a Special Fund left at the disposal of the Directors.

　　The mortuary at Kennedy Town has been condemned as a nuisance by the Sanitary Board, owing to its proximity to the Cattle Depot and to the quarters of the Officer in charge. A site for a new mortuary has been selected.

The number of patients admitted to the hospital during the year was 2,898. The highest number admitted in any one of the seven preceding years was 2,823, whilst the average number was 2,509. There are no longer private paying patients, as the ward in which they were accommodated was con- demned in 1894. During the last six years the number of out-patients decreased from 135,608 in 1893 to 90,880 in 1898. The Directors attribute the decrease to the following causes-(1) the fear people have, when plague is epidemic, of having their illness diagnosed as plague, and of being sent to the Plague Hospital, (2) the reform of certain abuses in connection with the dispensing of plasters, &c. in 1895, and (3) the displacement of population caused by the resumption of Taipingshan.

GENERAL.

The question of the reconstruction of the Western Market is under the consideration of the Government. In November separate petitions were presented by the pork-sellers, the fishmongers, and the poultry-dealers asking that the Market should be rebuilt on the present site, or, if it must be rebuilt elsewhere, then on a site nearer the Praya. The petitions also contained a suggestion as to the arrange- ment of the shops.

　　In March a petition in Chinese with 68 signatures and 207 chops affixed was presented to the Government, asking for the grant of a site on which to erect a small-pox hospital for Chinese and requesting that the disinfection of premises in which cases of small-pox occur might be carried out by a Society which the petitioners proposed to form for that purpose and for the management of the hospital. Petitioners understood that the hospital would have to be conducted in such a way as to ensure isolation of the patients and they recognised the improbability of the Government consenting to a less thorough disinfection of infected premises, but asked that the actual work of disinfection and cleansing might be done by their own employes, under the same supervision as is now exercised. The application was not granted.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH MAY, 1899.

771

The following are the Ordinances passed in 1898 which more particularly affect the Chinese and this Office:

No. 1 of 1898.-Prepared Opium (Divans) Amendment.

13 of 1898.-Chinese Certificates Fees.

20 of 1898. Births and Deaths Registration (Amendment).

24 of 1898.-Liquor Licences.

28 of 1898.--Chinese Manila Fees.

Ordinances Nos. 20 and 28 authorise the imposition of fees for Certificates of Identity issued to Chinese proceeding to the United States or to Manila. The fee in the latter case is $25.00, but no Certificates have been issued owing, no doubt, to the unsettled state of affairs in the Philippines. Nine Ordinances were passed naturalizing Chinese as British subjects.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. →No. 297.

　　　The following Report of the Po Leung Kuk Society for the year ending 31st December, 1898, is published.

By Command,

J. G. T. BuCKLE, for the Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th May, 1899.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, April, 1899.

　　　SIR,-I have the honour to forward for His Excellency's information the report of the Society for the Protection of Women and Girls (Po Leung Kuk) for the year ending 31st December last, together with the accounts and a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Society accompanied by a declaration of the truth of it made before a Justice of the Peace by two members of the Permanent Board.

I have the honour to be,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETAKY.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

A. W. BREWIN,

Acting Registrar General.

Report of the Po Leung Kuk Society for the Year ending 1898.

The following ten gentlemen were elected to act as the Managing Committee for the year: -

Kwok Siu YAU.

CH'AN KING-WAN

LI SAU-HIN

WAI LUN-SHEK,

TONG LAI-TS UN.

LAU HING-SUN. WAI MIN-TSAI.

SAN LOK-TING. CH'AN HIU-TUNG. CH'AN HIM-KUK.

Mr. LAU WAI-CH'UN and Mr. WAI LONG-SHAN were apointed to act as Treasurers.

Attached

is a statement of the Assets and Liabilities of the Society and a declaration of the truth of it by the Treasurers and two statements showing the working account and revenue and expenditure during the year.

The balance to the credit of the fund was $12,640.60.

Messrs. LEUNG DIN-SHUN and WONG HOI-PANG have again kindly audited the accounts this year. The number of women and girls admitted into the Home during 1898 was 412, being 27 more than in 1897.

The matron, Mrs. VICTOR, has still continued to give satisfaction.

　　　The Visiting Justices during the year have been Captain ANDERSON, Ion. WEI A-YUK, and Mr. HO FOOK.

　　　The Benevolent Societies of Canton, Macao and other places continue to co-operate with the Po Leung Kuk in restoring girls to their relations and in other ways.

　　　It need scarcely be said that the expenditure in such an establishment is necessarily heavy. A number of the Guilds in the Chinese commercial community have promised to contribute annually three-tenths of the amount now subscribed by them to the Tung Wa Hospital and it is hoped that eventually all will respond in a similarly liberal manner to the needs of this deserving institution.

The inmates are encouraged to occupy their time with needlework; and many of them are able,

as heretofore, to earn a little pocket-money by making up clothing for Chinese shops.

The report of Dr. THOMSON, who has kindly visited the Po Leung Kuk during 1898, is attached.

A. W. BREWIN,

President.

HO KAI,

Vice-President.

PO LEUNG KUK, HONGKONG, 8th March, 1899. SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of the Honourable the Registrar General a report regarding the health and sanitary condition of the Po Leung Kuk during the year 1898.

I have continued my visits two or three times a week, and Dr. Chung has visited the institution daily and has supplied medicines required from the Tung Wa Hospital.

The general health of the inmates has been satisfactory. No epidemics such as those referred to my report of the previous year have occurred. A few cases of acute illness and of venereal disease were sent to the Government Civil Hospital.

All new admissions have been vaccinated by Dr. Chung.

The sanitary condition of the buildings, yards and drains is good.

The dormitories and the clothing and bedding are maintained in a clean and orderly condition. The food supplied is wholesome and sufficient, and the girls are well-nourished.

Dr. J. M. ATKINSON,

&c.,

Principal Civil Medidal Officer,

&c.,

　　　6. We continue at a great disadvantage by the large number of changes in the coolie ranks of the staff, and also by tlie impossibility of obtaining any men who have previously had any experience of garden or forestry work; our supplies have to be drawn from the class of coolies ordinarily employed as earth coolies.

There were 18 changes of men during the year. I am frequently applied to by members of the community for gardeners to fill places, but as we cannot secure a sufficiency of trained men for our- selves it is impossible to provide any for others, however much I should wish to do so.

IMPROVEMENTS.

8. The old Aviary which I mentioned in my last Report as being dilapidated and unsuitable has been removed, and a new and larger one has been constructed on its site. The new one is 60 feet long by 28 feet wide; it is divided into seven distinct compartments, each one having a yard enclosed with wire netting nine feet in height, and an enclosure at the back for shelter and shade for the birds during rain and sunshine. The floor is raised about two feet from the ground. The roof is flat except that of the two end compartments, which is a ridge, and the middle one, which is a semi-circle, the highest part being 15 feet from the floor. The wire netting is stretched over bar and angle-iron framework. The back which affords shelter for the birds is constructed of brickwork. There is no woodwork except the divisions within the brickwork shelters, so that the structure will require only very trifling expenditure to maintain it, and it is, also, proof against rats and other vermin, which were very troublesome in the old structure.

The compartments are fairly filled with birds, but there is still room for further contributions, which would be thankfully received.

The aviary is a source of great interest to large numbers of visitors.

PLANT SHADING.

　　　　9. A section of WALTER & Co.'s wood roller blind shading was obtained from England for trial. It was fixed over a part of No. 10 plant-house, and it is successful, but it remains to be proved whe- ther it will ultimately prove more economical than drill shading which is used rather extensively.

The first cost of the lath shading deters me from using it generally.

　　　　10. The success which has followed the new split bamboo roof in place of reed shading over plant- house No. 3 justifies the construction of similar ro fs over houses Nos. 1 and 2 as soon as there is an opportunity for doing so.

FLOWER BEDS AND BORDERS.

11. The various beds, &c. have been kept well filled and maintained. used annually for this purpose only.

WATER SUPPLY.

About 12,000 plants are

　　　　12. During periods of drought, like that of the 1898-99 dry season, much inconvenience is experienced in that portion of the garden which is supplied from the Tytam water-works system when the water is turned on for only an hour or less, as it is impossible to accumulate in so short a time sufficient water in the tanks for our requirements, consequently water has to be carried at much ex- pense from Glenealy. If there is any probability of similar scarcity of water in future, it would be of advantage to the gardens and the water-works to conduct, by means of a small pipe from Glenealy to a point near the nursery, the water which at present runs to waste down the Glenealy, nullah.

NOTES ON PLANTS.

13. Hippeastrum.--(Amaryllis). Named kinds of plants and plants raised from Veitch's select strain now flower freely; they are an immense improvement on the older varieties, which are being discarded now that there are sufficient of the superior kinds.

14. Nepenthes ventricosa, Blanco. In 1896 I was supplied with

In 1896 I was supplied with cuttings from the Philippine Islands by Mr. C. CUNDALL, of Manila, and Mr. H. HUMPHREYS, of Hongkong, of a pitcher plant which were struck and produced pitchers in 1898. A plant was sent to Kew in 1897 and it was there found on comparison with dried specimens to be N. ventricosa described by Blanco in 1837. It is a valu- able acquisition in cultivation, and it appears that it had not previously been introduced in a living state to England.

　　　　15. Lantana sp. var. Drap d'or. This is a dwarf variety with beautiful bright-yellow flowers obtained from Messrs. J. VEITCH & SONS, Chelsea. It thrives well here and is a useful addition.

　　　　16. Derris Fordii, Oliver. When this flowered last year it was a picture of beauty, the colours of the flowers, which were produced in the greatest profusion, are white and red.

894

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1899.

　　　　The plant was discovered by myself on the Liendhau river in the Kwangtung province in 1887, and then introduced to Hongkong. It is well worth cultivating in tropical countries.

17. Rourea santaloides, W. & Arn. This is a lovely plant when in bloom, which when culti- vated as in these gardens is immensely improved in the quantity of flowers it bears to any wild speci- mens I have seen of it. It is indigenous to this island.

　　　　18. Rhodoleia Championi, Hook. Until last year it was not known that this beautiful tree existed in a wild state in any part of the world with the exception of four trees on one of the hills of Hongkong. It is of a genus which has only two known species, the one of Hongkong and another, R. Teysmanni, Mig.. found in Sumatra. Last year Dr. A. HENRY sent as a donation about 1,174 species of dried plants which he had collected while at Mengtsze in Yunuan, I found amongst them specimens of this hitherto extremely rare tree.

The specimens before me are marked on Dr. HENRY's labels as being from two different places, one of them being 5,000 ft. and the other 8,000 ft. above sea level, and are marked as 40 ft. and 50 ft. as the height of the trees respectively.

These two specimens and our own are all slightly different in both foliage and inflorescence, but possibly not of sufficient difference to constitute them more than varietal differences.

19. Illicium verum, Hook, f. Although so long ago as in 1888 when Sir JOSEPH HOOKER was able to figure the star anise plant, and to describe it under the above name, from plants which I had sent to Kew, and which proved that up to that time Illicium religiosun, Sieb, had always been wrongly credited as being the source of star anise of commerce, I notice that the French in Tonkin, where the plant is largely cultivated, appear to be still unaware of the fact, as the Tonkin newspapers still refer to it under the wrong name, and the same mistake is made in English literature in China. Sir JOSEPH HOOKER wrote fully on this plant under Tab. 7,005 in the Botanical Magazine for 1888.

20. Strawberries.-It may be useful to record here the great success achieved by a Chinese grower at Wongneichung, from whence a very liberal supply of excellent fruit has been sent to the market this year, and which was sold at prices which should encourage extended cultivation for market supply.

PLANT SALES.

　　　　23. The sum of $674.46 was taken for 2,959 plants sold, a small decrease on the figures for 1897 owing to sales to places out of Hongkong being discontinued as the resources for propagating and cultivating are not more than enough to supply local requirements.

LOAN OF PLANTS.

24. The number of plants lent to the public for decoration purposes was 3,898, for which $202 was charged, a very slight decrease on the previous year.

RAINFALL.

26. We are indebted to Dr. A. HENRY, F.L.S., for a fine collection of 1,174 dried species of plants which were collected in Yunnan. These have all been poisoned, as well as other collections, but there has been no time to mount and incorporate them in the completed specimens.

FORESTRY.

　　　　29. Appendix B gives the kinds and quantities of trees planted, the localities where they were placed, and the approximate area occupied by them. The total number of trees planted is 33,923 ; they were planted in 17 different localities ranging over places as far as to Repulse Bay and Tytam

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　THINNING OF PLANTATIONS. 30. The particulars are given in Appendix C. about half of the number being felled in Kowloon.

Tuk.

16,491 trees were removed from eight localities, These thinnings realised $444.51 net. LANTANA.

31. This plant has established itself at the West end and in the Happy Valley. Nearly all of it on Crown lands was cut down during 1898 to keep it in check, as it is a troublesome weed when it encroaches on plantations.

PROTECTIVE SERVICE.

32. Illicit tree cutting has again been brought within reasonable limits. The total number of trees cut and reported is 686. The number of convictions obtained by the forest guards was 51. There are, however, always a large number of cases of trees cut where the culprits are undetected. The convictions are mostly for cutting pine trees for firewood. Remembering that there are only five forest guards for the whole Island and Kowloon, the protection of the vast number of trees in existence must be considered as being very economically managed: In Hongkong alone, without Kowloon, there are nearly 30 square miles to protect.

FIRES.

33. Grass fires as a rule occur only during the dry season. In the year under review there were 11 between January 1st and June 14th, and 16 between October 20th and December 23rd. Trees to the number of 3,285 were destroyed by 10 of these fires, the other 17 fires did no damage to trees, grass only and small shrubs being burnt by them.

The Police at the stations nearest to the scenes of the fires, and forest guards were instrumental in extinguishing the fires, and I have again to acknowledge the valuable services rendered by the Police Department in this work, as also in notifying me of the occurrence of fires.

The fire lines, of which there are about 50 miles in the Colony, consist of lines from 10 to 15 feet wide of the earth cleared--most of them annually-of all grass and vegetation. These lines of bared earth in most cases where fires reach them are effective in checking their progress, but in some instances when strong winds occur at the time of the fires pieces of ignited material are carried over the lines and start fires where they fall. It will be necessary to increase the width of the lines in some places where vegetation has become dense.

Unfortunately it is impossible to discover how or by whom fires have originated, but I have no doubt that in nearly all cases it is by the carelessness of people using matches, and I have good reasons for thinking that Europeans and natives alike are responsible for such thoughtlessness.

Appendix D. supplies particulars of

grass fires.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

　　　　　5. 21.26 acres of land were surveyed in connection with the issue of leases and re-adjustment of boundaries; 5.61 acres were surveyed in connection with land sales; 2.37 acres in connection with extensions, and 1.37 acres in connection with grants on short leases.

　　　　　6. One hundred and eighty-three sets of plans and particulars, in duplicate, of lots were furnished to the Land Office for the preparation of leases.

7. Boundary stones were fixed to 38 lots.

　　　　　8. The short leases include one lot of 90,000 square fect in Kowloon on the foreshore used for storing timber leased for 2 years at $450.00 per annum, and another lot 33,750 square feet in area at Shaukiwan let on a yearly lease at $200.00 per annum in connection with a Soy Factory.

　　　　　9. A sum of $4,985.00 was realized by the rent of Crown Land in the vicinity of the Race Course for the erection of Booths and Stands during the Race meeting.

10. The sales of Crown Land were considerably short of the estimate for the year, owing to the In November, 1897, six lots sold in this few applications for land in the Taipingshan resumed area. locality at prices ranging from $5.38 to $4.14 per square foot, and there seemed reason to anticipate a rapid sale of the rest of the area. In 1899, only five lots sold, the price paid varying from $4.13 to $2.00 a foot. Elsewhere there was considerable demand for land and prices went up considerably. The price of building lots between Kennedy Road and Bowen Road went up from 6 to 12 cents a foot, and in one case even 25 cents a foot was paid. In Kowloon there was also considerable demand, and as much as 80 cents a foot was realized for lots in Yaumati.

　　　　　11. The number of Squatter's licences on the roll of the 1st January, 1898, was 1,192, and the fees recoverable $3,537.70. Seventeen were written off with the authority of Government (C.S.O. 1883) leaving 1,175 on the roll at the close of the year. The recoveries amounted to $3,399.57.

12. Under this heading it may be interesting to place on record that a considerable area of land at Causeway Bay has been reserved for the purpose of a Public Recreation Ground; whilst in Kowloon a hill known as the Hill of the King of the Sung, which bears so ne Chinese historical associations has also been reserved. Ordinances relating to both these reservations were passed by the Legislative Council.

WORK UNDER THE BUILDING ORDINANCE.

13. Plans have been deposited to the number of 465-17 for European dwellings, 74 for Chinese houses, and 374 for miscellaneous structures.

14. Certificates have been granted under Section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889 for 337 houses, and permission has been given for the erection of 75 verandahs and 21 piers over Crown Land or Foreshore.

15. Notices relating to structures in a dangerous condition have been served in 6 cases; 1,433 notices and permits of a miscellaneous nature have been issued; an 1 81 permits have been granted for the erection and repairs of monuments and enclosures in the Colonial Cemetery. The fees received for the latter amount to $279.21.

　　　　16. During the year the most notable buildings in course of erection from an industrial point of view were the Cotton Mills at Causeway Bay, and the Cement Works at Hok Un, both of which are nearing completion. On the eastern portion of the Reclamation, the Telegraph Companies' Offices were completed and two large blocks of buildings for occupation as offices were well advanced, and on the western portion several godowns and blocks of houses have been erected.

PUBLIC WORKS ANNUALLY RECURRENT.

　　　　17.- Maintenance of Buildings.--The public buildings of the Colony, the total number on the list being 120, were maintained in fair order during the year. The chief expenditure on any one building or block of buildings in the year was on Government House which, from not having been occupied for a considerable time, required a complete overhaul, painting, colour and white-washing, &c.

18. The Government Civil Hospital and the Principal Civit Medical Officer's residence were thoroughly repaired, re-painted and colour-washed at an expenditure of over $3,000.

19. Other buildings on which considerable expenditure was necessarily incurred in the year were, No. 5 Police Station, the Government Offices, the Water Police Station at Kowloon, the Supreme Court, the Central Police Station, the Government Villas at the Peak, and Yaumati Market.

20. The report of Mr GIBBS, Engineer in charge of the Waterworks, on the Maintenance of Waterworks in the City of Victoria and Hill District is quoted in full as follows:

　21. Maintenance of Waterworks, City of Victoria and Hill District.-A constant supply of filtered water to the City and Hill District has been maintained throughout the year, and the quality of the water as ascertained by analysis has been excellent. The total quantity supplied was 1,133,270,000 gallons, equal to an average daily consumption of 3,105,000 gallons, or 15.8 per head for a population of 196,000 for all purposes.

916

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

Deducting trade supplies, which amount to 166,019,000, the average consumption per head per diem is reduced to 13.5 gallons. In addition to the above, 60,248,000 gallons of unfiltered water have been supplied.

22. The total quantity pumped to the Hill District was 18,180,000 gallons, equal to an average daily con- sumption of 50,000 gallons, or 20 gallons per head for an estimated population of 2,500.

23. The number of meters now in use in the City is 307 and in the Hill District 121.

24. The usual tabular statements showing the monthly consumption, rainfall &c. are given in Appendices A, B & C, and diagrams showing the hourly consumption during the course of the day in Appendices D, E & F.

25. New services have been constructed and existing ones repaired to the number of 578.

26. The services of 1,306 houses were inspected during the year; 102 of these were found defective, but were repaired after the usual notice had been served.

27. Owing to an extension of the High Levels of the City eastward and to the increase of population at the Peak, the latter mainly on account of the occupation of Mount Austin Hotel as Military Barracks, the pumping machinery for supplying these districts is fast becoming inadequate and new plant has been requisitioned from home and it is hoped will be available for the summer of 1900 (C.S.O.'s {179 & 133}).

1898

225

28. The new Filter Beds on the Bowen Road having a filtering area of 1,661 square yards were brought into use during the year and have proved of great service in relieving the strain on the Albany Filter Beds.

29. Considerable leakage being discovered from Pokfulam Service Reservoir its floor was lined with cement concrete at a cost of $630.50 (C.S.O. 2). With this exception no extraordinary repairs have been required.

30. Maintenance of Waterworks, Kowloon.-A constant supply of water has also been maintained in the case of Kowloon and the results of analyses made from time to time have been entirely satisfactory. The mains were extended to Hok Un during the year. The total quantity of water supplied was 77,325,000 gallons, equal to an average daily consumption of 204,000 gallons, or 7.8 per head for a population of 26,000 persons. Deducting trade supplies, which amount to 19,240,000 gallons, the average consumption per bead per day is reduced to 6.1 gallons. 31. The number of meters in use in Kowloon is 81, all supplies being metered except those obtainable from the public fountains, of which there are 94 fixed throughout the Peninsula.

season.

32. The demand for water in Kowloon Peninsula now exceeds the quantity available at the end of the dry This is owing to the rapid development of the district which, when the present works were projected in 1892, contained a population of 13,000 now estimated at 26,000. With a view to meet the urgent present need for water, authority has been granted to construct a puddle wall at the back of, and to raise No. 1 Dam 5 feet, (C.S.O. 1). This, however, can only be regarded as a temporary measure and immediate steps should be taken to obtain a gravitation supply from the territory about to be ceded to the British Government to the north of Kowloon Peninsula.

2212

33. Particulars of the monthly consumption, &c. will be found in Appendix G.

34. New services have been constructed or existing services added to or repaired to the number of 53.

35. Maintenance of Waterworks, Shaukiwan.-A constant supply of water has been maintained throughout the year; the water is mainly distributed through 18 public fountains, all other services being metered.

36. Maintenance of Waterworks, Aberdeen.-A constant supply of water has been maintained throughout the year.

A meter has been fixed by means of which figures showing the monthly consumption will be available in future. There are 8 public fountains in the village, all other services being metered.

MAINTENANCE OF ROADS.

The

37. The roads and streets of the City have been kept generally in good repair. prolonged drought towards the end of the year caused some of them to break up rather badly, but on the other hand the year had been free from heavy and destructive rainfall. An experiment was made in surfacing a portion of Queen's Road with the hard blue crystalline gneiss of which there is abundance in the Colony instead of with friable white granite. There is no doubt that the life of a road laid with the first named stone would be much longer, and the streets so surfaced much cleaner in wet weather. The road so treated is wearing well, but the trial was not a fair one, as it was found impossible to roll in and consolidate the metal with stone rollers drawn by coolies, and consequently an undue quantity of disintegrated granite and sand was laid over the stone. The contractor found that the cost of breaking the blue stone was double the cost of breaking the granite, a clear proof of the superiority of the former as a road material. Both these difficulties have been overcome by the purchase of a machine stone breaker and the ordering of a ten-ton steam road roller from England. The former has been at work at Kennedy Town for a short time with very satisfactory results, many tons of the blue stone being broken at about the same cost as the softest granite. The steam road roller has arrived from England, and there is every reason to expect that in a few years the condition of the roads, when covered with a thoroughly consolidated layer of hard clean stone, blinded with grit of the same nature, will be greatly improved. A common complaint against machine stone crushers is the large quantity of fine grit formed in the process. This will be no draw- back here, as the grit from this blue stone is a perfect material for concrete on footpaths and in places where a fine but not slippery surface is required.

　　　38. Lime concrete is found to be a bad material for any road exposed to heavy traffic; it quickly wears into deep holes, and a lime concrete roadway patched is by no means satisfactory. For roads such as the New Praya a heavy coating of macadam overlying a solid foundation of larger stone, thoroughly consolidated to a smooth surface by the steam roller, will last much longer and prove far easier to repair.

39. The roads outside Victoria were well maintained during the year, and considering the great number of cyclists who use them complaints were few and far between. A great improvement was effected in the road round the Happy Valley near Wongneichong Village. An awkward and dan- gerous curve for cyclists was taken out of the road, the old wooden bridge replaced by one of iron and concrete, and the road widened and otherwise improved. Two handsome stone bridges on the road up to Wongneichong Gap were completed. The new road to Aberdeen was improved by the substi- tution of some permanent stone culverts for wooden bridges and an improved connection with the coast road at Aberdeen formed.

　　　　　40. The roads in Kowloon were kept in good order. Under the vote for their maintenance a contract was entered into for the construction of a new swing bridge over the entrance to the Harbour Police basin, of lighter and better design than the old bridge which had been for many months out of repair and un-usable.

MISCELLANEOUS WORKS.

　　　　　41. Eleven works sanctioned under this vote early in the year were referred to in the half-yearly report and call for no further cominent. Since June 30th the following works were sanctioned.

42. Government moiety of $2,500, towards the improvement of an area of about 7 acres of land in the West end of the City and as far as practicable forming it into a public park. This scheme arose out of an application to purchase land by two gentlemen who had large interests in the locality; failing to obtain it at what they considered its value, they generously agreed to give or guarantee a sum of $2,500.00 towards the improvement of the area in draining, laying out roads, planting trees About half the money was spent and shrubs, &c., provided Government would vote an equal sum.

in 1898, and considerable improvement effected in what was a perfect wilderness of scrub jungle. A road through the land has been constructed from the end of Robinson Road to Lower Richmond Road; rocks have been blasted and removed, a huge bank of earth cut down anl distributed over the area in forming spaces suitable for tree planting, which work, with turfing of the slopes, will be proceeded with shortly before the rains set in.

43. Considerable improvements were effected during the year inside the Gaol largely by convict labour, the Public Works Department merely supplying materials, supervision, and skilled labour occasionally.

44. A Mortuary was constructed in the Public Cemetery by extending the existing building. 45. A commencement was made with the construction of a large public latrine off Ship Street. 46. Additional quarters, which were very much needed, were provided at the Civil Hospital for the gate watchmen.

DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE WORKS.

47. Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, G.C.M.G., in a speech made shortly before he left the Colony, described Victoria as the best drained City east of Suez, but the best drained city in the world might suffer from bad smells and worse evils if the drains and sewers were misused, and without admitting that Hongkong, considering its densely packed population, suffers much in this respect, it is the fact that the Chinese do misuse the drains, and this is usually the cause of such complaints as from time to time are made. This refers to well grounded complaints, not to those made by thoughtless and ignorant speakers or irresponsible writers, who seem to think it clever, or a sign of superior knowledge, to decry the Hong- kong system of sewerage and drainage.

　　　　48. In Hongkong a perfect system of pipe sewers has been laid, of sufficient capacity to carry sullage water from the houses, and practically all houses are now connected with these sewers by pro- perly trapped house connections of glazed earthenware pipes. The intention was, and the hope is, that all sewage from the houses would rapidly find its way to these sewers, and by them to the out- falls in the harbour, and by the beneficent action of the tides to the open sea. No stopping beneath the houses or streets to breed foul and poisonous gases is possible, the bulk of the 3,000,000 gallons of water used daily in the City, still in the form of liquid, should pass through these pipe sewers, and in addition 32 flushing tanks are in existence at convenient points to give a further impetus to the flow in the pipes, and drive their contents completely and rapidly into the harbour.

　　　　49. There are still in existence, below many of the streets and below some of the houses, the old storm drains, varying in dimensions from over six feet in height to one foot square, but with little or no fall near the harbour front, into which in former times all sewage flowed, and which in many cases were little better than elongated cess-pools. The entrance of the tides into these drains banked up the sewerage of the City to poison the soil and the air in and about the Queen's Road level.

918

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10ra JUNE, 1899.

　　　50. These great masonry drains were, and are still, necessary to carry off rain water; without them during heavy rainfalls the streets would be flooded and cut up into watercourses, but it was intended that on the completion of the separate system, no foul or noxious matters should enter these drains, so ill suited to carry them to the sea.

　　　51. Now as to their misuse. Mr. DRURY, who has been in charge of the drainage and sewerage of the City during the past year, writes---

"I cannot report favourably on the condition of the storm drains in which it appears to ne between th. and 4th of the city sewage still flows. These drains, already con- "demned for this purpose, are entirely unfit for the conveyance of any foul waters."

　　　52. He then goes on to speak of the escape of gases through "storm gullies," causing the bad sinells occasionally complained of, and describes how he has found it necessary to carry up ventilating shafts from these storm drains, which, if not misused, would require nothing of the sort. Describing their misuse he says--

"Having reported on the state of the storm drains generally, I will trace the manner "in which sewage enters them and suggest a remedy for the same. The Chinese throw much of their sullage water into the street channels, this flows to an intercepting gully, whence it should go to the sewers, but in the case of a blockage of this gully (a most common occurrence) it overflows into the storm gully and thence into the storm drain "which it fouls.

53. One suggested remedy is that the maintenance of all sewers, storm drains and gullies should be under one control, instead of as at present divided between the Public Works Department and the Sanitary Board. It is now to the Scavenging Contractor's interest to allow sewage and rubbish to get into the storm drains and sewers when the work and expense of removing it falls on the Public Works Department. Mr. DRURY thinks that if this department was responsible for the effective working of the whole of the separate system with a suitable staff of overseers for supervision better results would ensue. At present he can only hope that by prosecuting the scavenging contractor for permitting his coolies to allow garbage to block the intercepting gullies and pass into the sewers and storm drains, or still worse to dump rabbish direct into the storm drains, that in the end the contractor will find it cheaper to have his work done properly. In one case, lately tried in the Police Court, a fine of $50 was imposed on the Contractor.

54. It is clear, however, that the sewage system is not at fault, and that what occasionally leads to complaint is the improper use of the old storm drains.

　　　55. Looking beyond minor details and to the general results of the great works carried out by Mr. COOPER under Mr. CHADWICK'S advice, Victoria is undoubtedly a well drained City, the proof of which is the low death rate from zymotic diseases and the almost total absence of diptheria-the disease of all others clearly traceable to a bal system of sewerage.

56. The following are a few of the figures given by Mr. DRURY of work done in the year:-

470 lineal yards of storm drain extended in the City.

89 yards in Kowloon.

43 yards in Shaukiwan.

Extension of Sewers.

2,565 lineal yards in Victoria.

1,459 lineal yards in Kowloon.

Lanes Concreted and Channelled.

9 lanes in Victoria.

7 lanes in Kowloon.

and nearly the whole of Wongucicbong Village.

House Connections, &c.

107 House connections with main sewers.

49 Disconnecting traps renewed.

57. A considerable amount of useful work was done in the preparation of plans for works on the

New Praya Reclamation and elsewhere.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC WORKS.

919

58. Chamberlain Road.--The Chamberlain Road, leading from the upper Tram Station at Victoria Gap to Mount Kellet Road, was completed in December, the total cost being $25,149.45. The first section of this road, as far as the entrance to "Treverbyn," is 23 feet wide, the second section, on to "The Homestead," 15 feet wide. Starting for some distance level, it then rises at a uniform gradient of 1 in 20 to the junction with Mount Kellet Road. Considering the extremely heavy retaining walls required in the first section, and the first class nature of the masonry, surfacing, handrails, &c., it cannot be considered an extravagant work. The total length is 2,340 feet.

59. Barker Road.-The Barker Road leading from Plantation Road to Magazine Gap was also completed in the year and opened for traffic, the total cost being $26,880.00. The length of this road is 5,660 feet and the ruling gradient 1 in 40, while the steepest gradients being 1 in 20 make it avail- able for rickshaw traffic. For some months in the summer a threatened slip near the commencement. of the road caused much anxiety. The cutting passed through some very treacherous soil, probably an old landslip, and being immediately below the Plantation Road and immediately above the Tram line, a slip, such as for some time seemed imminent, would probably have carried away both. The position, moreover, rendered the use of blasting powder or dynamite impossible, and the overhanging and slipping mass had to be carried away in pieces by coolie labour, the boulders being cut up by wedging. To make the road perfectly safe a heavy retaining wall, built in cement, was considered necessary, which added fully $3,000.00 to the cost of the road. Long before completion, the road became a favourite evening walk, and already three large building sites have been sold, and the erection of one European residence is well advanced.

60. General Black's Link.-An expenditure of less than $1,000 was incurred in opening the foot- path from Wanchai Gap, vid Middle Gap to Wongneichong Gap since named "General Black's Link." This path is a little over 3 miles in length and traverses the southern slopes of Mounts Cuneron and Nicholson, commanding charming views of Deep Water Bay and the south coast of the Island. It opens up numerous attractive building sites, which will undoubtedly be sought after if a tramway to Magazine Gap is ever made.

　　　　61. Hok Un Road.-In British Kowloon the road from Hung Ilom to Hok Un was completed and some cross roads on which the squatters evicted from the site now occupied by the Green Island Cement Works, were established in permanent well built houses. This road was designed, constructed, and drained with a view to probable considerable extension of building for the large population connected with the Docks and the Cement Works. As stated in the half-yearly report the road should, as soon as practicable, be extended on to Kowloon City, and from there, in connection with the opening up and development of the new territory, to Sai Kung on Shelter Bay, and eventually over to Mirs Bay.

62. Station Street, Kowloon.-On the other side of the peninsula the extension of Station Street North through Mongkoktsui and on towards the boundary fence was taken in hand and well advanced.

　　　　63. Taipingshan Resumption.-The laying out, roading and draining of the Taipingshan resumed area was completed during the year at an expenditure of $36,110.69 The total expenditure on this work has been $107,751.18 or $12,248.82 below the estimate of $120,000.

　　　　　64. Blocks of buildings were erected and are occupied on the lots sold at the end of 1897 and early in 1898, and the remainder of the area is ready for sale when required.''

　　　　65. Improvement of Gas Lighting.-The expenditure under the votes for the improvement of gas lighting in the City of Victoria was $2,598.92; 107 lamps were fitted with incandescent burners, a number of lamps were added, whilst others were altered in position.

66. Extension of Gas Lighting.-Under the vote for the extension of gas lighting an expenditure of $994.00 was incurred in erecting lamps on-

(1.) MacDonnell Road.

(2.) Bowen Road as far as the Tramway, part of the expense of the latter being borne by

the Tramway Company.

(3.) Such portions of the New Reclamation as were completed during the year.

67. Ferming and kerbing Streets.-The expenditure under the vote for forming and kerbing streets in the year was $9,970.89. The principal items of work done were as follows:-

(1.) Road from Hung Hom to Hok Un, 50 feet wide and nearly half a mile long. The land bordering on it will shortly become very valuable for building sites, as the Dock Works and Cement Works develop. It has been laid out with this in view, as likely to become in time the main street of a large town.

(2.) The new approach to MacDonnell Road where the old Gardeners' Cottages stood. From the amount of land sold for building on this road, it will in a short time become an important one, and the expenditure incurred in raising the bridge, raising and levelling the road was fully justified.

920

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

(3.) The roadway at Morrison Hill Road approaching the Happy Valley was widened and

improved.

(4.) The nullah adjoining the Tramway line, between MacDonnell Road and Bowen Road was arched over, with a view to the construction of a pathway and steps between these two roads. This will prove a great boon, not only to the inhabitants of the 16 new houses in this locality now nearing completion, but to the general public who find Bowen Road Station convenient for access to the Queen's Gardens levels, the Ladies' Recreation Club, &c ; half of the expense of this work is being borne by the owners of the adjoining land.

(5.) In addition to the above, footpaths have been formed, streets kerbed and channelled, and back lanes surfaced, round new buildings, especially in Hung Hom and Yaumati where great expansion has occurred.

(6.) The road to the east of the Hongkong Club was formed, kerbed and channelled, the cost being defrayed by the Club in accordance with the terms under which the site

for that institution was sold.

　　　68. Water Supply, Kowloon.--A contract was let at the close of the year for constructing a puddle dam across the outlet of No. 1 Valley. The dam hitherto existing was constructed originally for experimental purposes to discover what yield might be expected from the valley and had not been carried to a sufficient depth to prevent the escape of water underneath it. Under the contract the top of the dam will be raised so as to impound more water than formerly.

　　　69. City of Victoria and Hill District Waterworks (i.)-Reservoir and Catchwater, Wongneichong Gap-The dam has been completed to its full height. The catchwater and path alongside the same have been completed and all is in readiness to impound the next season's rains.

ii.) Filter Beds and Service Reservoir.-These works were completed early in the year and have been utilized in connection with filtering the water supply to the City. Quarters for an overseer and workmen in charge of the works were begun and nearly completed by the end of the year.

(iii) Extensions of Pumping Plant for High Levels and Peak District.-Additional motors have been ordered from England, those hitherto in use, having become inadequate to maintain the supply for the increasing population of the High Levels and Peak District. To provide for the new and rapidly developing district above Kennedy Road some re-arrangements of the high-level mains have been made.

70. Taikoktsui Market.-A substantial though small market, containing 32 stalls in all, has been erected on a central site in the rising village of Taikoktsui. The pillars and gables are of brick with granite dressings and the floor of cement concrete with granite steps or kerbs. Special fittings have been constructed for the vegetable stalls. The building was completed before the close of the year.

71. Extension and Improvement of Central Fire Brigade Station.-This most desirable work has at length been carried out. It consisted of adding another story and making certain alterations and modifications in the old building. The men are now comfortably housed in light and airy rooms on the two upper floors.

72. Gaol Extension.-A new workshop containing two floors has been erected in the west yard and the extension and remodelling of the wash-bouse yard have been begun. The subdivision of associated into solitary cells has practically been completed and a number of minor alterations and improvements have been carried out. A very considerable portion of the work has been performed with prison labour.

WATER AND DRAINAGE WORKS, MISCELLANEOUS.

73. The following are the more important works which have been carried out under this heading :- (i). Diversion of stream from Cotton Mill site, (Inland Lot 1018).-A masonry nullah has now been constructed to convey the waters of the Sook unpoo stream into Causeway Bay. The stream formerly pursued a very irregular course which interfered with the proper laying out of sites in this neighbourhood and, when an extension of land was granted for the Cotton Mills, arrangements were made for the construction of a properly trained channel, the Company subscribing a substantial sum towards the work. This has been completed as far as practicable for the present, and a road has been formed alongside the nullah for communication with the village of Tai Hang and the large area of level ground in its vicinity.

(ii). Redrainage of Western Market.--In connection with the removal of the old main drains consequent upon the Praya Reclamation Works it was found necessary to take up the drains of the Western Market. A system of surface channels was substituted, the levels of the ground admitting of this being done.

(iii). Hok Un Road.--A system of drains has been constructed in connection with the new road to Hok Un, provision being made for carrying off the storm water from the hilly ground adjoining.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

921

(iv). Removal of old Drains.-The removal of the old drains in the neighbourhood of the Harbour Master's Office has now been completed and new drains of proper construc- tion have been substituted where required.

(v). Drainage of Villages.--Considerable improvements have been effected in a number of the villages including Shaukiwan, Wongneichong, Hung Hom and Yaumati. Pro- vision has been made for the extensions which occurred in the two last named villages during the year.

(vi). Peak Water Supply.-A new wrought iron main, 5 inches in diameter, has been laid from the Peak Service Reservoir to Victoria Gap to replace the one hitherto existing which was only 3 inches in diameter. The pipes from the latter will be utilized for the main to be laid along Barker Road.

(vii). Diversion of Outfall Sewer at Hung Hom.-Owing to the purchase by the Dock Co.

of the land under which the main outfall sewer from Hung Hom passed, it became. necessary to divert the sewer outside the limits of their property. This work is being carried out at the expense of the Dock Co.

(viii). Fire Hydrants at Hospitals.--An additional hydrant has been fixed at the Civil Hos- pital, and a main and hydrant for fire extinction purposes have been put in at Kennedy Town Hospital.

74. Plans, Specifications and Estimates were prepared and Tenders were received during the course of the year for the following works, but it was decided by Government to postpone for the time being any further action with regard to them :-

(i) Diversion of Nullah, Wongueichong Recreation Ground.

(ii) Extension of the Post Office.

(iii) Contruction of Black's Link.

75. Complete Plans and Estimates were likewise prepared for the Victoria Jubilee Road, a work to which allusion is made in a later paragraph of this Report.

76. The time of the Engineering Staff was encroached upon to a considerable extent by the pre- paration of the above schemes upon which no expenditure has so far been sanctioned.

PRAYA RECLAMATION WORKS.

　　　　77. The progress during the year 1898 on these works was very satisfactory. It is generally admitted that the interests of all concerned are better served by such progress as has been made dur- ing the last few years, than by calling up all the money from the Marine Lot Holders, and by employing a largely increased staff hastening on the work to completion in a short time. The re- claimed areas keep well ahead of building operations.

The following is a brief description of what was done, section by section, during the year.

78. Section No. 1 East.-Contract No. 48 of 1897 with A CHEONG was completed on the 30th June. It comprised the filling in and forming of roadways, laying lime concrete over the sea wall and road margins, surfacing of the roads and footpaths, and forming a temporary street, &c.

　　　　　79. Section No. 1 West.-The commencement of work at this, the extreme Western end of the present work, has been delayed for some years, owing to the refusal of certain Marine Lot owners to join in the scheme. After full and careful consideration it was decided to take up the work at Gov- ernment expense, leaving matters in dispute in consequence of the above refusal to be settled under the provisions of Ordinance 16 of 1889. A contract for depositing the rubble stone foundation was let to CHAN A TONG on the 13th April. The work proceeded satisfactorily and towards the end of the year the mound was brought up to the required level, but owing to the uncertain nature of the bottom, which consists of a hard crust of detritus from the Sai Ying-poon nullah overlying mud, settlement is anticipated when the weighting with concrete blocks takes place. At present only 60 per cent of the quantity of rubble estimated from the drawings as necessary has been deposited, there is therefore an ample margin for making good settlements.

80. Section No. 2.-Completed.

　　　　81. Section No. 3.-This important section, extending from Wilmer Street to Wing Lok Street, was finally completed under Contract No. 23 by Mr. TSANG KENG in October. The work done in the year consisted in the completion of the seawall, surfacing the roadways and footpaths, laying drain pipes and fixing gullies. The whole area is now available for building.

　　　　82. Section No. 4.-This section extends from the Nam Pak Hong pier to the Harbour Master's Office, and on it the serious subsidence referred to in the Annual Report for 1897 occurred. On the 30th March a contract was entered into with Mr. TSANG KENG to make good the subsidence, which extended over a length of 257 feet, the whole of the necessary material, 6,000 cubic yards, was depo- sited within the contract time. The completion of this section, except the surfacing of the roads, was then arranged for along with Section 5, and after some delay owing to the extremely high tenders sent in, and some appearance of a combination to run up prices generally, against which a strong stand

922

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

　had to be taken, a very satisfactory contract was entered into with Mr. TSANG KENG, who pushed on well with the work and had completed about 27 per cent. of it by the 31st December. On that date 1,240 feet of the sea wall were in various stages of completion, 1,200 lineal feet of the storm-water drains were laid, 7,500 cubic yards of foundations and 43,600 cubic yards of filling were finished, 640 lineal feet of the seawall was brought up to such a level as to be available for the working of cargo at all states of the tide.

　　　83. The Harbour Master's old wharf was sold and removed and a temporary jetty on the line of the new seawall provided in lien thereof.

　　　84. Other contracts were also in progress on these sections during the year, one with Mr. Foo SIK for intercepting and diverting the Morrison Street storm-water drain which is now carried into the drain that discharges opposite Cleverly Street, and another for filling earth into hopper barges, &c. 8,075 cubic yards of dredgings and 19,320 cubic yards of surplus material from Taipingshan were deposited in these sections during the year.

　　　85. Sections 6 and 7.-Work on these sections was considerably delayed, and is still delayed, owing to the decision of Government to construct no more solid stone piers, but to adopt open piers on iron or steel piles. The construction of two important stone piers was included in Contract No. 43 of 1897, and the rubble mound and portions of the concrete block foundations had been completed, while the greater part of the cut granite was ready in the quarries. Eventually, to save large expense and loss, it was decided to complete Pottinger Street pier according to the original design, and this was accordingly done. The work already done on the other pier, that opposite Pedder's Street, had to be undone, the concrete blocks lifted and the rubble mound removed, and this work occupied much of the time of the Departmental Staff of Divers, &c.

　　　86. The change in plan involved the removal by divers of 34,000 cubic feet of concrete blocks weighing about 2,000 tons, and 17,000 cubic feet of rubble hearting, replacing in a different position 16,000 cubic feet of blocks and 20,000 cubic feet of hearting, a work both tedious and difficult. The preparation of a suitable design for the iron pier, which will be 200 feet long and 40 feet wide, with two double sets of steps at each side, and drawing up specifications, calling for tenders and letting a contract for the work, was entrusted to Messrs. COODE, SON & MATTHEWS, whose great experience in all work of the sort will ensure to the Colony the best design and work that can be got. MATTHEWS, who has visited Hongkong and understood fully the requirements, took a personal interest in the matter. A contract for the pier, amounting to about ￡7,500, was entered into in December and the first shipment of material may be expected in a few months.

Mr.

87. The Departmental work during the year was chiefly in connection with the removal of the foundation of Pedder's Street pier referred to above, which occupied the staff of divers for 190 days, and making good the subsidence on section No. 4.

88. The divers were employed in all 326 days in the year, 297 or over 90 per cent. of which were spent in un-doing or re-doing work which had been considered completed, a heavy and unforeseen expenditure on the estimate.

　　　89. The Pontoon Crane and Block Barges were docked in January and repaired, and the Tug Praya and the Hoppers also received an overhaul and are now in good order.

　　　90. During the year, 4,904 concrete blocks weighing 34,825 tons, were placed in position for weighting the rubble mound by the Pontoon Crane, 363 blocks were set in the seawall.

　　　91. The Dredger and Hoppers were sent to Dock for repairs on the 7th September and were not available for three months. A dredger had to be hired from the Dock Company for 22 days to perform some urgent work. The total quantity of material dredged in the year amounted to 20,740 cubic yards, of which 5,536 were deposited at sea in deep water and 15,204 cubic yards used in the recla-

mation.

92. The total expenditure on the Praya Works during the year under the main heads of expen- diture is given in Appendices K and L.

PUBLIC WORKS WHICH SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN IN THE COLONY WHEN FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE.

93. Buildings.-Under this heading in the report for 1897, the New Law Courts, the Post Office and Treasury, the Governor's Peak Residence, Police Stations at the West and East end of the City and a New Harbour Office were mentioned. It was only found possible to include votes in the Estimates for 1899 on account of two of those works, viz. :-the Governor's Peak Residence, and the West end Police Station, while it remains doubtful whether the finances will perinit of even these being proceeded with in 1899. Under such circumstances, it seems useless to add to the list though many other new buildings are more or less urgently required. The proposed New Market at Taiping- shan, however, may be mentioned, plans and estimates for which are ready. The building of markets has hitherto proved distinctly remunerative, an instance of which is the small market at Taikoktsui which was finished in December and is now returning 33 per cent. on the capital outlay by the rent of stalls. For the construction of such works a loan is evidently justifiable.

THE HONGKONG. GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

923

　　　　　94. The urgent need for a new Post Office well arranged, well lighted, and ventilated and equal to the present and prospective needs of this rapidly growing Colony has been so often and so strongly urged that it seems unnecessary to reiterate the facts which prove it. The special Commission which reported on the subject in 1896 wrote:-

"The accommodation in the Post Office, &c., &c., is so cramped that there is not suffi- cient room to sort two heavy mails at the same time, while the space devoted to the business of the Parcels Post is in sufficient to secure the safe custody of parcels. In fact, the require- ments of the Colony have entirely outgrown the accommodation at present available." Nevertheless in 1899, with the business enormously increased, Imperial penny postage introduced, cheaper parcel postage, additional mails arriving and departing, the accommodation remains the same. It is not too much to say that the new Post Office should be undertaken without further delay, even though additional taxation had to be resorted to in order to provide the necesary funds.

　　　　　95. Roads.-Want of funds is also the excuse for but poor progress in new roads. Of those mentioned in the report for 1897 only the completion of the MacDonnell Road at an estimated cost of $7,500.00 is provided for in 1899, and possibly one mile of "General Black's Link." Roads stand on quite a different footing from most public undertakings inasmuch as they are as a rule most dis- tinctly remunerative. The lands bordering on new roads, from being inaccessible and valueless, become saleable at good prices. It seems scarcely necessary to instance cases, one will suffice. The Barker Road was completed in December, 1898, at a cost of $26,880.00 and already three building sites have been sold on it for a total premium of $8,595.00 with a certainty of a steady return in Crown Rent, rates and taxes secured to the Colony for ever. That similar or better results would follow from the opening of the road which has been traced to High West, and thence down to Upper Richmond Road, is beyond doubt. The same is true in Kowloon; as Station Street North on the West side, and Hok Un Road on the East, have been pushed forward, applications for land have come in. The first named road has now been carried about half way across the tidal flat at Taikoktsui, it will probably in time be a great trunk road into China, crossing through one of the low gaps near Lai Chi Kok, and thence down the Sha-tin Valley to Mirs Bay, to Taipohu and to Sham Chun. Yet only the balance of a vote of 1898, amounting to $3,902.00, is available for expenditure on this important highway in 1899. It was hoped that the close of 1898 would have shewn good progress made with the Victoria Jubilee Road. Plans and estimates were ready in June, and by December fully six miles should have been well in hand, but delays, such as are apparently inseparable from all works projected in Hongkong, have blocked the way in this case, and the "first so" is as yet unturned. The Public Works Department, having no end in view but the public good, feel much disappointed and dis- heartened at this apparently unnecessary delay.

　　　　　96. Water Works.-In 1899 no works to add to the storage of water are projected, but in 1900 an additional reservoir in the Tytam Valley will probaby become necessary to meet the demands of an increased population. Mr. COOPER'S valuable report on the Water Supply of the City of Victoria and the Hill District of Hongkong, published in 1896, gives particulars regarding works which will probably become necessary to meet future requirements. The Kowloon supply is a more immediately pressing matter. In 1895 Mr. CoOPER stated as follows:- The available sources of water supply in British Kowloon are extremely limited, and should a large increase in the population occur, excep- tional measures appear necessary for providing a public water supply." The census of 1891 gave the population of the Districts supplied as 12,205 persons; we are now supplying fully 26,500 persons, and if our means admitted of it should supply f

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　10,050 more. In the decade 1881 to 1891 the population of British Kowloon increased at the rate of 96 per cent. It seems not improbable that the increase from 1891 to 1901 will be fully at the rame ratio. It is therefore evident that the existing sources of supply are insufficient. The leasing of the new territory to the North of the present boundary removes all difficulties on this score: within a few miles of the boundary, streains, with an ample supply in the driest seasons, exist whose waters now run to waste near Laichikok. The flow of these streams has not yet been gauged, but appears so ample, even in the driest weather, that probably but a small impounding reservoir will be required, which should be at such an elevation as to com- mand all the populated areas on the peninsula by gravitation. The chief expense will be the main, and the dimensions of the iron piping to be used must be carefully calculated to be of sufficient dimen- sions to carry such a supply as will suffice for the maximum population ever likely to inhabit the Kowloon peninsula.

　　　　　97. Miscellaneous Works.--The removal of the existing unsightly and almost useless Clock Tower and the erection of a new one in a prominent situation, is as yet unprovided for.

DEPARTMENTAL AND PERSONAL.

　　　100. The Department lost by death during the year :-Mr. J. L. PROSSER, Land Surveyor, who died on the 6th June after a very short illness. Among the subordinates Mr. F.

ROSE, Overseer, who retired on pension on the 31st January, died on the 7th March.

　　　101. The retirement from Government Service of Mr. EDWARD BOWDLER, Special Engineer of the Praya Works, though he had been for some years seconded from the Public Works Department, must be noticed here. Mr. BOWDLER's services under Government date back to 1855. After about 7 years' work in England, he proceeded to Mauritius in 1862, from which Colony he was transferred to Hong- kong in 1874. Having completed 43 years of meritorious service under Government, he retired on a well-earned pension on the 1st May, 1898.

102. The following new appointments were made during the year :--

467

Mr. T. G. HUGHES, Assistant Engineer, 1st July (C.S.O. 1887). Mr. Lo FUK LAM, Clerk, 1st September (C.S.O. 48).

Mr. G. M. GUTIERREZ, Clerk, 1st August (C.S.O. 1177).

Mr. M. NEWTON, Watchman Pokfulam Reservoir, 1st September (C.S.O. 2014).

8.5

Mr. S. M. THOMPSON, Watchman Shaukiwan Reservoir, 1st February (C.S.O. T

Mr. J. F. ABRAHAM, Foreman, 25th March (C.S.O. 831).

Mr. J. OLSEN, Master Government Dredger, 1st April (C.S.O. 777

Mr. W. M. THOMSON, Custodian Recreation Ground, 1st April (C.S.O. §).

Mr. T. JACOB, Assistant Draughtsman, 1st October (C.S.O. 1151).

　　　103. Mr. J. H. DA SILVA, Master of the Government Dredger, was dismissed on the 22nd March (C.S.O. 777).

　　　The services of Mr. A. HOGG, as Caretaker of the Wongneicheong Recreation Ground, were discontinued on 31st March (C.S.O. 514).

104. The following Officers resigned :-

Mr. I. J. Souza, Watchman Shaukiwa? Reservoir, 31st January, (C.S.O. TI). Mr. M. J. E. DA CUNHA, Clerk, on promotion to another Government Office, 1st

August, (C.S.O. 17).

1898

Mr. W. H. CUMPSTON, Assistant Draughtsman, 1st October (C.S.O. 2288).

Mr. E. THOMPSON, Custodian of Cemetery, pensioned from 1st January, 1899 (C.S.O.

2673 -).

1898

　　　105. On the 8th of August, Mr. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works, was seconded for special service to accompany the Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, C.M.G., to the mainland, his instructions. being to assist the Commissioner in reporting on the territory generally, the geology, roads, water supply, industries, &c., &c. This duty occupied Mr. ORMSBY three weeks, during which time Mr. W. CHATHAM acted as Director.

　　　106. Mr. TOOKER, who only returned from long leave on the 5th March, unfortunately broke down in health very shortly after; a trip to Japan having failed to restore him, after a month in hos- pital, he again proceeded to Europe, his duties were distributed among other officers, viz., Mr. Chatham, Mr. HAZELAND, and Mr. GALE, and although the strain of extra work, owing to the absence of the only two Executive Engineers at the same time, has been considerable, the duties have been cheerfully and well performed. It was also considered possible to carry on the Praya works without a Special Engineer in the place of Mr. BOWDLER, who went on vacation leave from the 1st February. The burden of this extra work, which is by no means light, falls on the Director, the Assistant Director and Messrs. BOULTON and MUDIE, the Marine Lot-holders gaining by the non-filling up of the appoint- ment by the saving of a salary of $5,760.00 per annum with compensation.

　　　107. The Department is now undoubtedly very short-handed and the difficulty in the way of an officer getting any leave or relaxation considerable.

R. D. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works.

　　　　The mail which arrived in Hongkong from London on the 9th January, 1899, was heavier than either, viz., 1,357 parcels.

7. Table E., giving the revenue and expenditure for the year, compared with 1897 shows a nett increase in the revenue of $68.563.50 and in the expenditure of $34,480.83; the balance of revenue over expenditure being $95,618.47, an increase of $34,082.27 above that shown in 1897.

The establishment of penny postage; reduction of the local rate from 10 cents to 4 cents per half ounce, with the United Kingdom, its dependencies and Canada, has been estimated by my pre- decessor to probably cause a loss of $30,000 during the current year. It has certainly enhanced the volume of correspondence very largely, accentuating the want of space in the building, and heavily increasing the duties of an already insufficient staff.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

　　　8. On the 1st July last, Branch Post Offices were opened at Kowloon and West Point, which have proved a convenience to the Public: the Kowloon Branch more especially to Europeans and the Western Branch Office to the Chinese.

　　　9. Table F. shows the number of parcels despatched to Europe by the P. & O. steamers and the amount of postage and insurance fees collected: an increase over 1897 of 1,890 parcels, $1,199.75 f?r postage, and $234.20 for insurance.

10. Table G. shows the Money Order business done during the year. As compared with previous years' transactions that of the Money Order Department in 1898 has again shown an increase in most of the items.

　　　11. The sale of Imperial Postal Notes is the highest on record, but on the other hand the Local Postal Notes show a continued falling off since 1894, the year they came into use.

　　　Decreases have also taken place in the issue of Money Orders on Japan and India. The amount of the former appears to have reached its highest aggregate in 1897, but as the bulk of the orders are from Japanese in Thursday Island, (Hongkong being the intermediary office for the exchange of Money Orders between the Australian Colonies, India, Ceylon, Straits Settlements, Siam, North Borneo, and Japan) the future transactions will greatly depend upon the enactment of any legislative measures that may restrict the immigration of Japanese.

12. Since the closing of the Indian mint in 1893 there has been a falling off in the issue of Money Orders on that country, due not so much to the enhanced value of the Rupee as to the fact that the members of the Police, the Asiatic Artillery, and the Hongkong Regiment can remit half their pay through the Treasury and Army Paymaster at the rate of Rs-225 per $100.00.

　　　13. Although the money handled at the Money Order Office in 1897 and 1898 is about the same, viz., $521,711 and $527,413 respectively, the nett commission collected is $360 more than in 1897.

　　　14. At Shanghai, notwithstanding the numerous international Post Offices there, the amount of Money Orders issued and paid increased from $21,000 in 1897 to $26,500 in 1898, which also will probably be surpassed in 1899, judging by the transactions of the first quarter.

　　　15. The amount of Money Orders from Foreign countries payable at the other Riverine Ports has also increased, notably at Canton and Foochow.

　　　16. During the year arrangements were concluded for raising the limit of a single Money Order on Japan, Borneo, Siam, and Shanghai from $50 to $100, and the Money Order system has been extended to Corea through the intermediary of the Nagasaki Post Office both to take effect from the 1st January, 1899.

17. The question of accommodation is not again brought prominently forward as expansion is to take definite shape in the near future.

The following table of revenue for the past 10 years shows almost exactly the increase in postal business that has taken place :

The working expenses of 1889 $43,164.80 rose in 1898 to $58,831.05.

The reduction in postage does not therefore appear to have prejudicially affected the total of the sale of stamps. The increase $7,000 doubtless, however, represents largely enhanced transit charges to be paid in the future.

19. The internal fittings of the present Post Office could be materially improved at comparatively slight cost by the substitution of skeleton presses with wire netting instead of the present wooden ones. They could be seen through, would be cleaner, would not obstruct light and air, and could be transferred to the New Post Office when built. Other suggestions for economising space and facilitat- ing despatch of mails have been made in another report.

20. Five of the Chinese staff were prosecuted in August last, two for removing stamps-imprisoned for 4 and 6 months respectively, and three for detaining letters, one was sentenced to 4 months' hard labour and two others to six months' imprisonment each with hard labour.

　　　　　21. At present the Chinese coxswain of the Post Office launch a man on $10 a month who can' neither write nor speak English receives and takes off the mails. Complaints are frequent as to delay in the discharge of the mails from contract steamers. Vessels leaving are constantly missed and opportunities for the despatch of mails lost. No log is or can be kept of the movements of the launch. Two launch officers are urgently needed. Responsible men not boys. Men of this description could be obtained at an initial salary of $45 a month, lower wages would only attract incompetents or men who would merely utilize the situation to look out for better appointments. In view of the vast importance attaching to the safe carriage of mails the prompt creation of these appointments is strongly urged.

　　　　　22. Six more clerks are needed in the General Office, two to attend to the Poste Restante work, which has increased and is largely increasing, and four to attend to the drop boxes, keeping the keys in their pockets and being responsible for the clearing of them and the proper attendance of the Public at the windows.

　　　　In another report their duties have been elaborated. At present there is no one to detail for these duties, and "what is everybody's business is nobody's business."

23. One more clerk is wanted for the Registration Department; in the other report referred to his duties have been detailed.

24. The wages paid to the Post Office clerks on joining, $20 a month, are not such as to attract, men who intend to remain in the service. Nearly all the applicants are boys from school. The brightest and best of them just stay long enough to begin to be useful and then, in the language of their letters of resignation, "having prospects of better pay and promotion," they go.

　　　　25. In the cases of clerks that have joined older and at higher wages the results have been satisfactory.

26. Should the staff be increased as indicated the services of soldiers for sorting papers could be dispensed with. Missorting of papers is a chronic source of complaint. When it is considered that four soldiers (not the same ones every mail) sort all the papers by the contract mail for every place North of Hongkong, missorting is explicable. Soldiers sort the papers by contract mails because the staff is admittedly too slender numerically to undertake it.

　　　　27. Another fruitful source of complaints is the loss of unregistered letters, principally by contract mails to Europe. On days of despatch of contract mails, for the last hour and more before the mail closes, the Post Office windows are besieged by a crowd of coolies with boxes, bags, and packets of letters which are being dumped in a continuous stream on a table by the window, and books are thrust forward to be chopped.

　　　　28. As a matter of fact these letters are not posted at all. They do not pass through the drop boxes supplied for the reception of Postal Matter, nor are they presented at the registration counter.

29. The chopping of the books is an attempt to obtain a " quasi" receipt for unregistered matter. Registered letters are not lost. In the case of locked boxes there is some guarantee that the number of the letters sent have reached the Post Office (there is no proof as to what was put in). In the case of bags, and sheaves of letters handed in there is nothing to show that the identical letters sent have been received. In the hurry of mail morning doubtless, frequently, the clerks do not accurately check the numbers with the chit-books presented, nor is it, strictly speaking, part of their duty to search for dishonest practices on the part of messengers sent with letters.

30. The Public in Hongkong have become accustomed to grand-motherly looking-after; for instance, if letters are too late they expect the book to be chopped "too late" and the letters returned. The chopping of books is a check on the honesty of the messenger and a direct attempt, as previously stated, to get a receipt without paying a fee.

940

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH JUNE, 1899.

　　　31. This is recognised and provided for in Singapore, as the following extract from the Straits Settlements Postal Guide indicates :-

"Certificates of Posting."

"In order to afford the public an assurance that letters, postcards, newspapers, and packets, entrusted to servants and messengers for posting, have actually been posted, the "Post Office grants certificates of posting at a charge of one cent for each article entered on "a certificate. Any person who wishes to obtain a certificate of posting must send, with the article for which the certificate is required, an exact transcript of the address on the article, written in ink on a slip of paper, or in a book, with a one-cent postage stamp "affixed to the transcript. The clerk to whom it is presented will compare the address "with the transcript, and, if there is no discrepancy, will obliterate the postage stamp with "the Post Office date stamp. The paper, or book, will then be returned as a certificate that "the article has been posted. No additional responsibility attaches to the Post Office in respect of articles for which such certificates are granted. Special receipts are given for "registered and insured articles, and for all parcels.'

　　　Until, however, the additional clerks that have been shown to be necessary are provided the same cannot be done at this Office. Much trouble is almost daily given by requests that letters may be searched for to be registered, the coolie having omitted to do so.

　　　32. The Chinese coolie is not more unintelligent or dishonest than the average negro or Hindoo. In other places, however, either more trustworthy messengers are sent or the public are not so prone to promptly accuse Post Office employes en masse of dishonesty.

　　　33. In other places also the bulk of Europeans understand to some extent the language of their messengers, here numberless mistakes are made from the utter inability of masters and servants to understand one another, and the men are sent off trusting to the Post Office official seeing that the right thing is done.

　　　34. The reception of letters at windows gives much additional labour and is not a proper posting through the boxes supplied for that purpose.

　　　35. Of most of the seniors on the staff it gives me great pleasure to speak highly, the juniors lack sense of responsibility, and it is very doubtful if many of them intend to stick to the service.

　　　36. To insure prompt and satisfactory deliveries the postmen's districts should be much circumscribed which will necessitate a material increase of numbers as detailed last month; all the men should be quartered in the new premises when built.

　　　37. During 1898, eighteen clerks :-Messrs. J. S. REMEDIOS, LAM SHU PIN, TSE A SIT, CHung YUK KING, WONG LIM, C. T. SILVA, SIRDAR KHAN, F. FIGUEIREDO, G. SILVA, A. REMEDIOS, P. Roza, J. V. PEREIRA, T. Perpetuo, F. SILVA, F. Jorge, F. M. RANGEL, F. E. SOARES, M. P. REMEDIOS, joined.

One died and nine resigned, one who joined in 1894, one who joined in 1897 the others all joined in 1898 staying from one month to three, amongst the latter all the Chinese clerks (four).

　　　The staff was increased by eight. Four for the Branch offices, one in the Registration Depart- ment, one in lieu of the Assistant Postmaster General (absent), and two learners.

;

　　　38. Of the 28 clerks employed on December 31st, 1898, but nine had eight years' service and upwards.

　　　One four years' service, the senior clerk. Four under three years' service including the Superin- tendent of the Registration Branch. Three under two years' service. Eleven under one years' service.

　　　39. Amongst the nine seniors were the then Accountant, since pensioned, the three Marine Officers, the Superintendent of the Money Order Office, and one clerk also in the Money Order Office, the Storekeeper, one clerk in the Registration Branch, leaving only one of the older men for duty in the general office.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

WM. C. H. HASTINGS,

Acting Postmaster General.

And whereas it appears that a dangerous infectious and contagious disease exists at Amoy, Swatow, and Pakhoi :

　　　Now therefore I, Sir CHARLES BULLEN HUGH MITCHELL, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Dis- tinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Straits Settlements, with the advice of my Executive Council, do hereby Declare and Proclaim that the provisions of sections 2, 3 and 5 of "The Prevention of Disease Ordinance 1894" are in force within the Colony, and shall have effect in respect of all such ships as may sail from or call at the ports here- inafter mentioned. The ports in respect of which the provisions of section 2 of the said Ordinance are in force are all the ports on and off the Chinese Coast South of the 26th degree North Latitude from Longitude 108° to 120° East of Greenwich, including the ports in Hainan and Hongkong lands and Macao.

This Proclamation shall be published by the insertion thereof in the Gazette.

"RANZA."

Note by Captain Stanhope.

5 p.m., 24th May, arrived in the French gunboat Aspic, on position of accident to Ranza. Strong S.W. wind and swell. Strong ebb tide running, too bad to launch boat, difficult to keep ship in posi- tion for a moment, but by sounding from the ship found very variable soundings in vicinity from 22 metres to one cast of 7 metres After again getting into nearly same position, got three soundings of eight (8) metres and dropped an anchor buoy. Next morning went back to position, weather much the same, nothing more could be done-buoy there. 9 a.m. left for Saigon.

Former bearings given confirmed.

SUPPLEMENT

TO THE

Hongkong Government Gazette

No. 31 of 1st July, 1899.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 379.

　　　The following Report on the Health and Sanitary Condition of the Colony of Hongkong for 1898, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 27th ultimo, is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 1st July, 1899.

No. 4

J. G. T. BUCKLE, for the Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 7th March, 1899

SIR, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor and for transmission to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, the Medical Report on the health and sanitary condition of the Colony of Hongkong for the year 1898, together with the returns, &c., appended thereto.

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

J. M. ATKINSON, Principal Civil Medical Officer.

POPULATION.

　　　The estimated population of the Colony for 1898 was 254,400; there were 1,206 births and 5,674 deaths, of the latter 1,175 were from plague.

The population shows an increase of 5,690 as compared with 1897.

The birth-rate was 4.7 per 1,000 against 5.5 in the previous year; the low birth-rate is accounted for to a great extent by the greater number of males in the Colony, the percentage of males in 1897 being 70.9 amongst the Chinese and 58.6 in the non-Chinese population.

　　　In connection with the low birth-rate amongst the Chinese, it must also be borne in mind that many births are not registered by the parents, I refer to those taken to the Convents and to those found dead in the harbour and streets.

　　　The death-rate was 22.30 per 1,000 as against 18.85 in the previous year, excluding the deaths from plague the death-rate would have been 17.68 per 1,000.

Taking the different nationalities the death-rate is as follows :

Whites Coloured Chinese

.....

.16.2 per 1,000.

...33.6

22.54

　　　It must be remembered that the population of Hongkong is mainly an adult one, 52.6 per cent. amongst the non-Chinese are between the ages of 20 and 45 years whilst amongst the Chinese 55.9 per cent. are between these age periods; so that one would naturally expect a low death-rate. This is the case amongst the Whites who include Europeans, Americans. Portuguese, and the Army and Navy. The high death-rate amongst the Coloured and Chinese races is a sure proof of the insanitary way in which they live.

year; it was

　　　Small-pox.-This disease was practically epidemic during the first four months of the so prevalent in February that on the 15th of that month No. 4 Health District was declared an area infected with the disease.

　　　A house to house visitation was made, free vaccination stations were appointed, and the attention. of the inhabitants was drawn by printed notices to the different places where this was being carried out, the Chinese especially being urged to avail themselves of this opportunity of being vaccinated.

Diseases.

　　　Plaque.--Unfortunately, the Colony was again attacked in an epidemic forin by this disease which prevailed practically until the end of August.

There were 1,320 cases reported with 1,175 deaths; of these 75 occurred amongst the Non-Chinese with 49 deaths-a mortality of 65.3 per cent.; whereas the mortality amongst the Chinese was 89.6 per cent. The following table gives the number of cases reported in each month of the years 1896 and and 1898 :-

　　　It will be seen that the disease in each year attained its maximum in the month of May, in this Colony in each outbreak the months of maximum mean temperature are followed by a material reduc- tion in the number of cases.

The city of Victoria is divided into ten Health Districts.

On the 24th March, the Health Districts Nos. 2, 4, 5 and 6 were declared infected; in the follow- ing month the disease spread to British Kowloon, this being declared infected on the 18th April, whilst Aberdeen and Aplichau were not infected until June.

　　　Unfortunately, more Europeans were attacked than was the case in 1896, the numbers being 26 as against 16. I regret to have to report amongst these two of the Nursing Sisters at the Govern- ment Civil Hospital who both succumbed to the pneumonic type of the disease; the first, Sister Frances, undoubtedly having contracted it from a Chinese patient in the observation ward at the Government Civil Hospital suffering from what proved to be the pneumonic variety, and the other, Sister Gertrude, contracted the disease whilst nursing Sister Frances.

　　　Each epidemic year has been followed by a year of freedom from the disease, e g.. 1894, 1896, and 1898 were epidemic years whilst in 1895 and 1897 and thus far in 1899 the Colony has been practi- cally free from the disease.

　　　It is worthy of note that an outbreak of rinderpest (cattle plague) occurred amongst the cattle at the Pokfulam Dairy Farm in the months of February and March and that during the earlier part of the year the neighbouring provinces of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si were overrun with rinderpest which killed off large numbers of cattle. A similar outbreak of rinderpest occurred amongst the cattle at Pokfulam prior to the 1894 epidemic.

　　　　Enteric Fever.-There were 52 cases reported as against 65 in the previous year; twelve of these occurred in April, most of them were imported.

Scarlet Fever. These cases both occurred on board II.M.S. Powerful and were imported from the Mediterranean.

　　　　Cholera. These were evidently cases of Acute Choleraic Diarrhoea due to indiscretion in diet; they occurred in April.

　　　　Malarial Fever.--As usual malarial fevers prevailed during the summer months; there were no cases of the pernicious type in the Government Civil Hospital.

　　　　Discases of Respiratory Organs.-These were as usual chiefly prevalent in the winter months and account for many deaths amongst the Chinese.

RELATIVE MORTALITY IN THE DIFFERENT SEASONS.

　　　　From the following return it will be seen that the two months April and May were the most fatal both for Chinese and Non-Chinese; this is accounted for by the prevalence of plague during these months

　　　　Excluding the deaths from small-pox and plague, it is seen that the months in which the least number of deaths occurred were April, May, and June.

　　　　The winter months, though the healthiest, give the greatest mortality; this is due to the greater number of deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs amongst the Chinese at this season of the

year.

GENERAL SANITARY CONDITION OF THE COLONY.

Though much has been done of late years to improve the sanitary condition of the Colony by:-

(a.) The removal of illegal cocklofts, mezzanine floors and backyard obstructions;

(b.) The concreting of the Chinese houses not only in Victoria but at Hung Hom, Yaumati,

and Taikoktsui in British Kowloon ;

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899.

(c.) The steady improvement of defective house-drains;

(d.) The closure of polluted wells;

no one acquainted with the elements of sanitation and the conditions of overcrowding, filth and ignorance that exist can fail to see that it will be years before those conditions necessary for the maintenance of the public health are satisfactorily established in this City.

The Insanitary Properties Commission, who had been sitting since August, 1896, issued their report in March of last year, and in it they state :-

"That there are many insanitary properties in the Colony, and dwellings which, in their

present condition, are unfit for human habitation."

"The back portions of a number of houses visited by us are dark, il-ventilated, extremely dirty and, in some cases, mere dens of filth. The interior of the cubicles or sub-divisions

of the living rooms was such that in the great majority of cases their contents could only be seen by the aid of an artificial light."

They call particular attention to the tabulated statement of the Medical Officer of Health, in which he states that in Health Districts V and VI out of a total of 3,095 Chinese houses 2,530 are insanitary. In the other Health Districts it appears from his evidence that a similar unsatisfactory state of affairs exists.

To show to what extent overcrowding exists I append the following table from the Medical Officer of Health's report for 1897 :-

From this it is seen that in No. V Health District there are no less than 959 persons to the acre. A Bill has been framed to make further provision for the sanitation of the Colony and is now under consideration by the Legislature.

　　　It contains regulations as to cubicles, doing away with them entirely in houses fronting streets of a width of 15 feet or less, limiting their height, &c.

It makes the erection of mezzanine floors or cock lofts illegal without the permission of the Sani- tary Board.

It limits the heights of buildings.

The most important regulations are those that insist on the provision of an open space in the rear of every domestic building already erected, erected hereafter or now in process of erection; these, if passed, will do away with back to back houses.

It also requires that no obstructions shall be in any private streets or lanes upon which domestic buildings abut.

To remedy these insanitary defects it is necessary to aim towards the attainment of abundance of pure air and light in houses, shops and streets, to provide an abundant supply of pure wholesome water, to do away with back to back houses, to abolish blind courts and alleys, to prevent overcrowd- ing and to increase as far as practicable open spaces in the crowded part of the city.

　　　　It appears from the last census (1897) that only 44 per 1,000 of the Chinese population are born in this Colony so that this does not afford much protection to the community from Small-pox.

METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE SEASONS AND THEIR PROBABLE EFFECT WITH REGARD TO SICKNESS.

With regard to special diseases :--

Small-pox was much more rife during the first three months of the year.

The conclusions to be drawn from our experience of plague in 1896 and 1898 are that the

occurrence of plague is favoured by :-

(1.) Long prevalence of drought or of abnormally low rainfall;

(2.) Atmospheric temperature below 82° F., as the months of maximum mean temperature

were in each year followed by a material reduction in the number of cases;

3.) The absence of sunshine;

(4.) The dampness of the atmosphere, during the months in which there were most cases.

the mean humidity of the atmosphere was high.

Appendix A.

REPORT ON THE PREVALENCE OF PLAGUE IN THE COLONY OF HONGKONG

DURING THE YEARS 1897 AND 1898.

INTRODUCTORY.

This is a continuation of my report of the history of this disease in Hongkong in 1895 and 1896 and is a brief record of the subsequent progress of the disease.

PREVALENCE OF PLAGUE IN HONGKONG, 1897.

The first three cases were reported on the 21st, 23rd, and 25th May from Heung Lane, no cases having been reported since the previous November.

This is one of the ill-ventilated narrow lanes off Queen's Road West; it was declared an infected area on May 26th and promptly dealt with. From this very lane eight cases were taken in June, 1895. The recrudescence of the disease in houses previously infected shows how tenaciously the bacillus clings to dwellings; it may be that the process of disinfection used, viz., fumigation with Sulphurous Acid Gas, the washing of the floors, woodwork &c, with Jeye's Fluid and the lime-washing of the ceilings and walls, is partly accountable for this.

A similar coincidence, viz, the recurrence of plague in houses previously infected has occurred in 1898.

At the instigation of the Medical Officer of Health a new system of disinfection has been estab- lished, viz., spraying the walls floors, &c., with a solution of perchloride of Mercury of the strength 1 in 1,000.

On the 5th of June one case occurred.

In the month of July there were eleven cases and during the remainder of the cases occurred, the streets, &c. where they came from being given in Appendix A. out of the 21 cases occurred in lanes and houses in which cases had occurred in 1896.

From this it will be seen that :-

(1.) The total number of cases reported was 21, all being Chinese.

year six more No less than 8

(2.) The disease commenced at the end of May and cases occurred in each remaining month

of the year excepting October.

　　　　　The importation and immigration of all Chinese into this Colony from Swatow and the Island of Formosa was prohibited by proclamation on 20th April; this was revoked on May ist.

　　　　　Swatow and the Island of Formosa were proclaimed as infected with Plague on 1st May; this necessitated the medical examination of the passengers and crews of all ships arriving from these places before they were allowed to land in the Colony.

　　　　　This proclamation was revoked as regards Swatow on the 17th July and as regards Formosa on the 20th August.

DISTRIBUTION of Work.

The work in connection with the plague was distributed as follows :-

　　　　　The Sanitary Board undertook all duties in connection with the removal of plague cases to Hospital, the subsequent isolation of those who had been in immediate contact with the disease and the disinfection of premises.

The Medical Department undertook the care of the sick after the arrival in Hospital; and The Public Works Department undertook the erection of the necessary temporary buildings, the preparation of graves, and the interment of the deceased.

PREVALENCE OF PLAGUE IN HONGKONG 1898.

The first case of plague was reported from Cheung Hing Street on the 2nd January; during this month 9 cases occurred.

In February 67 cases occurred.

　　　　　The disease became epidemic in March; during that month 137 cases were reported and on the 25th of that month Health Districts 2, 4, 5 and 6 were declared infected; the disease rapidly spread to the remaining Health Districts of the Colony as the following table, giving the number of cases reported in each month, will show :---

Proceedings ADOPTED WITH A VIEW TO PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE IN 1898.

The following procedure was adopted :-

(a.) House to House Visitation.-A daily visitation of houses in Health Districts Nos. 2, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 was mada by sections of Police and Military. See Appendix C.

xxvi

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899.

Mr. JOSEPH T. BRYAN, Assistant Sanitary Surveyor.

(c.) All cases of plague were removed to the Government Isolation Hospital at Kennedy Town, situated at the extreme west of the City and were under the charge of officers of the Medical Department.

Suspicious cases were placed in observation wards at the Government Civil and the Tung Wah Hospitals.

This occurred until the opening of the Native Plague Hospital on the 2nd of May after which date Chinese suffering from this disease were allowed the option of being sent to the Branch Hospital of the Tung Wah where they were treated by the so-called Chinese medical methods, or to the Government Isolation Hospital. (d.) Removal of sick persons and dead bodies.--Until the 5th May this was undertaken by

the Inspectors of Nuisances, after that date this was effected by the Police.

Dead bodies were all taken direct to the Public Mortuary at West Point and were examined by the Medical Officer in charge. Those who were certified as having died from plague were removed to the Plague Cemetery at Kennedy Town and

buried there.

(e.) Segregation.-Compulsory segregation of those who had been in immediate contact with

the disease at the infected houses was not enforced, but the following was done :-

Those who had been in contact with the sick were supplied with clothing and were detained in their own dwellings whilst their own was being disinfected, the clothing was then returned to the owners who were required to vacate the house whilst it was being disinfected and cleansed, during this time they could go to matsheds which had been erected in different parts of the city and stay there; they were at liberty to go to their daily work but were examined every morning by a Medical Officer; after the cleansing and disinfecting was finished they returned to their own houses.

Steps were taken to thoroughly disinfect all the premises in which cases were found and to cleanse and lime-wash those houses certified by the officers mentioned in section (b) as requiring it.

(9.) Maintenance of cleanliness throughout the city.

Special attention was paid to the cleansing and disinfection of all the latrines, chloride of lime being the disinfectant used.

The flushing of the sewers was effected by the l'ublic Works Department.

With regard to sanitary legislation :-

The Insanitary Properties Commission issued their report this year, and the Sanitary Board were requested by the Government to consider and report on it.

This they did and their recommendations which were more drastic than those of the Commission, are practically embodied in a Bill entitled an Ordinance to make further provision for the sanitation of the Colony and to repeal certain enactments of the closed houses and insanitary dwellings Ordinance, 1894, which was first read in the Legislative Council on 22nd November, 1898.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1899. xxvii

DISTRIBUTION OF WORK.

The Sanitary Board undertook all duties in connection with the removal of sick persons to Hospital and of dead bodies to the Mortuary up to the 5th May, after this date it was found more convenient for these removals to be effected by the Police.

The Inspectors of Nuisances superintended the cleansing and disinfection of the premises and the disinfection of the clothing from the infected premises, the Police seeing to the detention of persons who had been in contact with the sick whilst the clothing was being disinfected.

The Medical l'epartment undertook the care of the sick after the arrival at the Infectious Diseases Hospital Kennedy Town up to the 2nd May after which date all Chinese patients were allowed the option of proceeding either to the Government Hospital or to a Native Plague Hospital erected by the Tung Wah Hospital authorities with the sanction of the Government. Although the patients were treated by the so-called Chinese medical methods the sanitary arrangements were under the supervision of the Visiting Surgeon to the Tung Wah Hospital.

　　　It was thought that if this concession was made to the Chinese it would prevent the deposition of dead plague bodies in the streets. However, as I pointed out to the Government at the time the reason why the Chinese deposited the dead plague bodies in the streets was not their fear of medical treatment in the Government Hospital but their strong objection to the disinfection and cleansing of the premises where plague patients were found.

The Public Works Department undertook the erection of additional matsheds at the Government Hospital at Kennedy Town, the preparation of graves, and the interment of the deceased. There was ample accommodation at the Government Hospital for all the cases that occurred including those that were treated at the Native Hospital.

The Sanitary Board was augmented by the following additional staff:-

13 European Police Officers.

1 Naval Chief Petty Officer.

24 Sappers and Privates. 16 Chinese Constables.

Some 300 coolies.

Appendix C.

Report on House to House Search during epidemic of Plague by Honourable F. H. May, C.M.G.

No 75.

POLICE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 14th July, 1898.

　　SIR, I have the honour to forward, for the information of the Board, the following report on the work carried out during the recent epidemic of Plague in connection with the house to house search for plague patients.

　　The work, which began on the 19th April and ceased on the 11th June, was organised in the following manner :-

　　No. 2 Health District was divided into 2 sections and a search party consisting of 2 European Police Sergeants, 3 Soldiers and 3 Chinese Constables visited each section on alternate days.

　　No. 4 Health District was divided into 3 sections and a search party consisting of 1 European Police Constable, 2 Soldiers and 3 Chinese Constables visited one section a day.

　　No. 5 Health District was divided into 4 sections and a search party consisting of 1 European Police Sergeant, 1 European Police Constable, 4 Soldiers and 3 Chinese Constables visited one and a half sections a day.

　　No. 6 Health District was divided into 3 sections and a search party consisting of 1 European Police Constable, 2 Soldiers and 3 Chinese Constables visited two sections a day.

Nos. 7 and 8 Health. Districts were divided into 3 sections and a search party consisting of 1 European Police Constable, 2 Soldiers and 3 Chinese Constables visited two of the sections each on alternate days.

No. 9 Health District was divided into 3 sections and a search party consisting of 1 European Police Constable, 1 Soldier and 2 Chinese Constables visited two of the sections each on alternate days.

The remaining section in No. 8 Health District and the remaining section in No. 9 Health District were visited by a search party consisting of 1 European Police Constable, 2 Soldiers and 3 Chinese Constables each on alternate days.

The total number of searchers employed was 45.

There were 62 cases of plague discovered by the search parties; of these 52 were alive and 10 dead. There were also 8 cases of suspected plague removed to Hospital which were pronounced not to be plague. All cases of plague or suspected plague, with the exception of those found in No. 9 Health District up to the 14th of May, were removed, in the first instance, to the Tung Wa Hospital where they were diagnosed by Dr. CHUNG and forwarded, if pronounced plague, to the Plague Hospital. After the 14th May the cases in No. 9 Health District were also forwarded, in the first instance, to the Tung Wa Hospital.

There was only one complaint made by the public against the Police engaged on house to house visitation. On investigation it was found to be without foundation. There were two complaints against the soldiers which were apparently well founded, and the men were removed from this duty, otherwise the soldiers did their work in a very orderly manner.

　　The search parties worked from 9 a.m. to noon and from 2 to 5 p.m. Each party was allowed half a day off duty once a week, and 24 hours' leave once a month.

　　　The sections into which the Health Districts were divided, with a mentor of the number of houses in each, are filed at the Police Office for reference in the future if desired.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

F. H. MAY,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

‧ The Piers Ordinance, 1899.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Piers Ordinance, 1899.

3. From and after the date of the passing of this Ordi- nance rent in accordance with the scale which is specified in the Schedule to this Ordinance shall (except in cases where rent on a higher scale is now payable to the Govern- ment by agreement) be payable to the Colonial Treasurer for the use of the Government of this Colony by the owner for the time being of any pier, whether already erected or hereafter to be erected or re-erected over Crown foreshore, notwithstanding the provisions of any Ordinance to the con- trary and notwithstanding any agreement or understanding between the Government and the owner of such pier or any of his predecessors in title to the effect that no rent or rent on a lower scale should be payable in respect of such Pier.

Such rents shall be payable in advance by equal monthly instalments and, in the case of a new Pier, shall commence to be payable from the date of the granting of the licence therefor: Provided nevertheless that no rent shall be chargeable in respect of any Pier which is removed before the expiration of one calendar month from the date of the granting of the licence for its erection and that rent for such a Pier, if paid, shall be refunded.

In the case of the extension of an existing Pier the extra rent for the extra land to be covered by such extension shall commence to be payable from the date of the granting of the licence for such extension.

In the case, however, of temporary Piers it shall be law- ful for the Governor-in-Council to remit the whole or a portion of any rent which is chargeable under this section.

4. No pier shall hereafter be erected or re-erected except with the licence of the Director of Public Works, and every such Pier shall be of such design and dimensions and con- struction and material as shall be approved of by the Director of Public Works.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to provide for the collection of rent from the owners of piers, according to a certain fixed scale, no matter at what date and no matter under what terms and conditions such piers were erected.

The scale of rent which is specified in the schedule to this Bill is higher than that hitherto in force, but it is believed that the rate is an equitable one considering the amount of harbour space which is occupied.

Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of the Bill are in the main merely re-enactments, with ver bal alterations and modifications, of the terms recently in- serted in concessions for the erection of a pier, except that section 15 does not permit of the removal of a pier being ordered save in the event of any future extension of the Praya rendering such removal advisable.

Section 16 confers a general power upon the Governor-in- Council to make Regulations in furtherance of the objects of this Bill. #

Section 17 lays down the penalty for breach of the provisions of the Bill or any Regulations, while section 18 effects the necessary repeals.

Section 19 provides that the new seale of rent laid down by this Ordinance shall commence to run from the 1st of July, 1899.

'A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the Public

Health Ordinance, 1887.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Public Health Short title. Amendment Ordinance, 1899.

2. Section 70 of Ordinance 24 of 1887 i? hereby amended Amendment by the substitution of the words "one week" in place of of s. 70 of

the words " one calendar month in the first paragraph of Ord. 24 of

that section..

Objects and Reasons.

The reason for the amendment in the law which is embodied in this Bill is that it was found in practice by the Sanitary Board that frequently, on the expiration of the one calendar month's notice of overcrowding, the tenant upon whom such notice had been served had left the pre- mises and a new tenant had taken his place, and that con- sequently no prosecution could be instituted under section 70. It is hoped that the shortening of the notice of over- crowding to one week will remove the above difficulty.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend the Arms Consolida-

tion Ordinance, 1895.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Arms Amend- ment Ordinance, 1899.

2. Section 5 of Ordinance 8 of 1895 is hereby amended as follows, namely:-

(i.) By deleting the words "or Civil" between the word" Military" and the word, "Services," and (ii) By substituting the words "any Justice" for the

word "Justices", and

(iii.) By deleting the following words, " or to Special or Common Jurors, or to such persons as are exempted by law from serving on a Jury on account of their avocation or profession.'

3. Section 10 of Ordinance 8 of 1895 is hereby repealed, and in lieu thereof the following section is substituted :-

Every importer of or dealer in arms shall take out a licence annually and shall register his name and place of business for the time being and any godown, warehouse, or other place in which he stores or intends to store arms, at the Office of the Captain Superintendent of Police. Any importer of or dealer in arms not taking out such licence as aforesaid or not registering as aforesaid shall be liable, on sum- mary conviction, to a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months. From and after the commencement of this Ordinance the fee payable for such licence as aforesaid shall be $1,200 per annum, payable in advance, but no person, who at the date of the commencement of this Ordinance possesses a valid and unexpired licence for importing or dealing in arms, need take out a new licence under this Ordi- nance until the expiration of his current licence.

Objects and Reasons.

Clause 2 of this Bill takes away the privilege of carry- ing arms which has hitherto been accorded to members of the Civil Service and to Jurors, or persons exempted from serving on Juries.

There seems no sufficient reason for the possession of such a privilege by either of the above classes, and a case occurred in which a Juror very seriously abused that privi- lege.

The object of substituting a new section for section 10 of Ordinance 8 of 1895 is a threefold one, namely

(i.) To provide for the registering by an importer or dealer of the places where arms are stored by him in addition to his name and place of business, and (ii.) To provide for such registration being made at the Office of the Captain Superintendent of Police, who is responsible for the peace and good order of the Colony, instead of at the Registrar General's Office as heretofore, and

(ii.) To raise the annual licence fee from the sum of

ten dollars to twelve hundred dollars.

tion.

1009

Objects and Reasons.

The object of section 2 of this Bill is to reduce the maximum amount payable by the Government of this Colony as compensation for slaughtered cattle, it having been found that the sums recently paid as compensation have reached a very considerable total. Sub-section 4 of section 3 of Ordinance 17 of 1887 provided that the maxi- mum amount of compensation payable for each animal slaughtered should be $50 only, but Ordinance 12 of 1890 raised the amount payable to $200. It is proposed by this Bill to reduce the amount of compensation payable to $100 per head.

The object of the amendment mentioned in section 3 is to make it a punishable offence for any person to slaughter any animal or dress any carcase except within a proper slaughter-house, even though such animal or carcase may not be intended "for sale."

The object of section 4 of the Bill is to make it a punishable offence to counterfeit or make use of or attempt to counterfeit or make use of the official stamp which is used to mark beef or mutton; and section 5 authorizes the destruction of any carcase of beef or mutton which does not bear the official stamp.

By Command,

No. 221.

(Officer Administering the Government to Secretary of State.)

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 29th July, 1898.

SIR,-I have the honour to transmit a copy of a despatch received on 23rd July from H.B.M.'s Minister at Peking enclosing copy of a letter from the Inspector General of Chinese Customs setting forth the arrangements which, in Sir ROBERT HART's opinion, are necessary for the protection of Chinese revenue under the new circumstances created by the extension of Hongkong territory, and to submit for your consideration, comments, and observations on the matter treated in Sir ROBERT HART'S numbered paragraphs which I follow.

1. I strongly recommend that the Chinese Customs be not formally accorded the right to maintain its office in Hongkong and that the Commissioner of Customs be not recognised as a Chinese Official but that he remain as at present without official status of any kind. The English Government has always recognised the objections to a Chinese Consul in Hongkong, and a Consul's functions are strictly limited by law, much more should we object to the establishment in our midst of a Chinese official with ill-defined and unlimited powers. The Chinese Government should, I think, be permitted to have an agency in the Colony of a purely mer- cantile character merely for the purpose of issuing opium certificates unconnected in any way with any other kinds of goods and entirely of an unofficial character and beyond the control of any recognised officer of the Chinese Customs. The existing sub-stations-Changchow, Capsuimoon, Laichikok and Fotochow-should be removed to points outside the leased territory; their retention on the present sites would be a fruitful source of friction and would always be misconstrued by the Chinese mind-there are many points both on the coast and on adjacent islands where the Chinese Customs could establish its new stations.

2. The proposal to give the Chinese Customs the right to levy duties within the Colony of Hongkong would be a surrender to China of one of the primary functions of Government and the right of having special jetties where these unprecedented operations would take place.

3. A somewhat similar argument may be employed against the proposal that Chinese Customs' cruisers and launches should be allowed to exercise their functions within British waters. Besides being an infringement of our sovereignty such right of search would interfere in an undue and unreasonable manner with the whole junk trade of the Colony and could not fail to lead to frequent complications.

Moreover, as these Chinese Customs' vessels are officered by men of all nation- alities, it would be inexpedient to give them by right such opportunities of re- connaissance and of noting naval and military arrangements. In short, it would be unwise to increase the privileges which they at present enjoy.

4. The fourth proposal is unobjectionable as it merely sets forth an existing state of affairs.

5. This Government has no intention to abrogate the present law concerning the movement, &c. of opium and will be prepared to consider any amendments necessary to meet new circumstances which may be submitted. The second portion of the fifth proposal giving a Chinese official the right to inspect establishments and shops in British territory and to overhaul their books and accounts is, I submit, wholly inadmissible.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JULY, 1899.

1041

6. There is no idea of relaxing the present enforcement of Colonial laws. The question, however, of regarding its own officers must be left entirely to the discretion of this Government which cannot be expected to arrange for an equal division of the proceeds of sale of confiscated goods between itself and the Chinese Government.

7. Arms and munitions of war are now by local legislation forbidden to be shipped. As regards other contraband goods, e.g., salt, there seems to be no right on the part of one Government to claim the assistance of another Government in preventing the export of such articles. The suggestion that all permits should be issued or countersigned by the Chinese Customs is not feasible in view of the previous declaration against tolerating any officer of the Chinese Customs exercising his functions within British jurisdiction.

upon

8. Any legislation that this Government may reasonably be called to enact to prevent the freedom of the port being abused to the prejudice of the neighbouring Empire will be introduced, but I submit that to give effect to the discarded proposals of Sir ROBERT HART would be to hand over this free port to the domination of the Chinese Customs.

With reference to the quid pro quo of an easier working of the West River trade and of that likely to grow up under the new inland steam navigation rules which is suggested in the concluding portion of the Inspector General's letter, it is not necessary to say more than that the easy working of those regulations is already the duty of China and cannot be accepted as a reason for granting to China abnormal jurisdiction within this Colony.

(Inspector General of Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs to II. B. M. Minister, Peking.)

INSPECTORATE GENERAL OF CUSTOMS, PEKING, 27th June, 1898.

SIR,--I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of Your Excellency's despatch of 24th June, informing me that you have received a communication from Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs asking you, in view of the recent leasing to Great Britain of part of Kowloon peninsula and the adjacent islands, what arrangements the Imperial Maritime Customs of China would propose and where stations would be placed, and in reply to state in the following numbered paragraph what, in my opinion, will be necessary in and around Hongkong and its new territory to safeguard the revenue interests of China-a task which will be made, in conse- quence of the increased area to be looked after, both onerous and expensive. The proposals are made in the belief that Her Majesty's Government desire to give China liberal and sustained support in the protection of her revenue in that neigh- bourhood:-

1. The right of the Chinese Customs to maintain its office in Hongkong- where it is now only unofficially acknowledged-ought to be formally admitted and the status of the Commissioner of Customs as a Chinese official recognised. The existing sub-stations at Changchow, Capsuimoon, Lai-chee-kok, and Fotochow ought to be maintained as at present although they are in the leased territory. If it should be found that other stations are required they may be instituted.

2. The Chinese Customs at Hongkong shall have the right there to collect duty and likin on any opium and similarly dues and duties on general cargo shipped on any native vesssel to or from China. The Customs ought also to have the right to one or more special jetties in proximity to junk anchorages at which cargo may be examined and verified.

3. The Chinese Customs' cruisers and launches may continue to exercise their functions within the waters of the leased territory.

4. No opium, raw or boiled, shall be landed or stored, taken delivery of or ship- ped in Hongkong, British Kowloon, or any of the leased territory without a permit to be issued by a Colonial Authority. Opium moved without permit, or found any- where or in any quantity in contravention of Colonial Ordinance, shall be confiscated.

5. The Opium Farm, i.e., an official establishment with an exclusive right to retail (only boiled) opium shall be maintained, and the Ordinances Nos. 22 of 1887 and 2 of 1891, concerning opium movement, &c., shall be confirmed and amended to meet new circumstances and to make good those points on which they are insuf- ficient.

The boiling establishments of the Farm, its retailing shops, and its books and accounts shall be open at any time to the inspection of officer of the Chinese Cus- toms specially deputed for that purpose.

6. All Ordinances regarding the possession, movements, preparation, or sale of opium in the Colony and its waters, afloat and ashore, shall be rigidly enforced by the Colonial Executive and its officers rewarded from proceeds of seizures with a view to encouraging zeal.

All proceeds of sale of confiscated goods shall be divided equally between the Chinese and Colonial Governments.

7. No arms, munitions of war, or contraband goods may be shipped on any vessels, proceeding to a Chinese port in Hongkong or its waters, without a permit issued or countersigned by the Chinese Customs.

8. The Hongkong Government shall pass such legislation as may be necessary to give effect to the above provisions.

The above numbered paragraphs are put forward merely to represent what I consider is proper should be done at Hongkong to meet Chinese revenue require- ments. I may, however, express the opinion that the system it provides for, and more especially the recognised presence of a fully authorized Chinese Customs establish- ment at Hongkong, gives promise of enabling measures to be taken which will make the working of the West River trade especially at those places of call to seawards of the first port (Samshui) considerably easier than at present; also of securing arran-

gements which might facilitate the trade anticipated to grow up under the new inland steam rules. In both respects anything which may be possible--and without a Customs House I do not see that much will be possible-is sure to redound to the commercial advantage of the Colony as well as of the Chinese trade. On this point, however, the occasion does not call upon me to say more at present.

(Officer Administering the Government to Secretary of State. )

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 13th August, 1898.

SIR,-With reference to my despatch No. 221 of the 29th ultimo forwarding arguments against the acceptance of Sir ROBERT HART's proposals for the working of the Imperial Maritime Customs after we have taken over the newly leased terri- tory, I have the honour to transmit for your consideration copy of a letter from the local Chamber of Commerce which embodies, I believe, the views of most of the commercial men in Hongkong on this subject.

As regards their reference to assisting for a quid pro quo the Chinese Govern- ment more than at present in the collection of duties on Opium, I think it quite possible that steps might be taken in this direction, and as Opium is after all the chief commodity for which the Chinese Government keeps up its expensive fleet of cruisers and launches round Hongkong, the Chinese Government might, in exchange for this increased aid, be induced to withdraw these vessels altogether from these waters and thus decrease its expenditure while increasing its revenue.

The Chamber of Commerce has not entered sufficiently into detail in this matter, but I venture to suggest for your consideration a workable plan which may be summarized somewhat as follows:-

1st. On arrival of ship from India her manifest handed to Harbour Master. Supplemented if need be by a return from the Calcutta Customs of Opium shipped.

2nd. All Opium to be stored in godowns under Government control. 3rd. No Opium to be moved from these godowns without permit from

Harbour Master.

4th. Harbour Master receives a copy of Bill of Lading of all Opium shipped. 5th. Harbour Master sends every evening to Imperial Maritime Customs

return of all Opium shipped and whither bound.

6th. Imperial Maritime Customs can then arrange for the duty on this

amount of Opium at the port of destination.

I forward this letter from the Chamber of Commerce without delay as I con- sider it right, should you think its contents worthy of consideration, that the letter should reach you as soon as possible.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Right Honourable

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1st JULY, 1899. ?

(Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, to Colonial Secretary.)

HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

HONGKONG, 12th August, 1898.

SIR,-In view of the extension of territory acquired by the Convention of the 9th June, I am instructed by the Committee of this Chamber to lay before the Government their opinion on the question of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs vis-a-vis this Colony. The Committee believe that some understanding was given to the effect that the extension of the boundaries should not prove a source of loss to the Chinese revenue, and they quite concur in the desire to assist the Chinese Government in the matter, so long as it can be done without hampering the trade, or impeding the development, of the Colony, the future prospects of which, with enlarged boundaries, on its present basis of absolute freedom, are very promising. To secure their fulfilment, however, it should, in the first place, be laid down that the existing Customs Stations must be removed to Chinese territory, outside the Colony's boundaries, and that the harbour be jealously guarded from the intrusion of Chinese revenue craft of any description. The delays and obstructions to the movements of shipping, were the Chinese Customs allowed a free hand in our waters, would constitute a serious interference with that freedom, which has mainly contributed to build up the present prosperity of this port. Without much provision, too, it would be impossible to have that free communication and interchange of produce between Victoria and the outlying additions to the Colony, which may naturally be expected to develop.

That some advantage might accrue to the Colony by its being placed on the footing of a Treaty Port, and therefore participating in the facilities afforded by the Inland Steam Regulations, is quite possible, but such advantages would be greatly outweighed by the counterbalancing drawbacks. For the Colony to accept them as as equivalent for the freedom of the port, would be like bartering its birthright for a mess of pottage.

This Chamber, while invincibly opposed to the continuance in the Colony of the Customs Collectorate of a Foreign State, have no wish to place any impediment in the way of that State obtaining its rightful revenue, nor do they desire that a single dollar should be made by the Hongkong Government at the expense of China, but this can, they believe, be readily effected without the maintenance of any Customs Stations or Collectorate within the Colony.

The chief article which requires special protection for the Chinese Government is Opium, and the Committee are of opinion that, in connection with this import, more could perhaps be done than is at present by the Hongkong Government in safeguarding the Chinese revenue. The present system of licensing an Opium Farmer leaves much to be desired, and the Cominittee would suggest that the Government should give its consideration to the formulation of some other scheme which will not only provide an effective check on thie import of the drug but will trace it also to consumption or exportation.

While, however, the Committee are prepared to sanction some sacrifice in revenue in order to secure in perpetuity the freedom of the port, they would point out that in addition to, and apart from, the objections already named to the proposals of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, the damage to British prestige in China, and in the Far East generally, by the practical conversion of this Colony into a Chinese Treaty Port would be most serious, and in the eyes of the Cantonese, at any rate, would reduce Hongkong into a dependency of the Chinese Empire. Rather than accept an arrangement so humiliating, so derogatory to Great Britain, and so detrimental to the Colony's best interests, the Committee would be disposed to recommend the abrogation of the Convention and a reversion to the previous conditions.

No. 26.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 15th March, 1899.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit the following report on the schools under my supervision during the year 1898.

　　　　　2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-With, I believe, only two exceptions, all the schools in · which European children receive a regular education are supported by the Government, and of the two, one has applied for a Grant-in-Aid. The case is very different with Chinese schools. Although the great majority of Chinese children attend Government schools or schools receiving a Grant-in-Aid, there are still nearly 2,500 children attending what in previous reports have been called Kai-fong Schools. I described these in last year's report as public schools maintained by the Tung Wa Hospital and members of the Chinese community, and, in doing so, I copied a mistake made by my predecessor who, as I gather from his reports for the years 1893 and 1896, believed these schools to be free pub- lic schools maintained by the Tung Wa Hospital or by public-spirited Chinese. The truth is that of the Kai-fong Schools only six are free public schools. These are maintained by the Tung WalHos- pital and have an attendance of a little under 200 children. The remaining 102 schools are schools started by individual teachers for their own profit, or semi-private schools where a tutoriengaged by some gentleman to teach his children is given permission to receive other pupils as well. In the year 1898, excluding those temporarily closed, there were 112 schools with an enrolment of 7,327 pupils, maintained by the Government or aided by it and subject to examination by the Inspector of Schools. I had hoped to be able to make a comparison between the years 1893 and 1898 as between two normal years, but the recurrence of the plague has once more put that out of the question. As far as enrolment is concerned, however, in the Government Schools there is an increase of 101 pupils, from 1,344 in 1893 to 1,445 in 1898. In the Grant-in-Aid Schools there is a decrease, there being 97 schools with an enrolment of 5,882 scholars in 1898, compared with 102 with an enrolment of 6,250 scholars in 1893; whilst the "Kai-fong Schools" which (in 1893 numbered 144 with an enrolment of 2,596 scholars now number 108 with an enrolment of 2,469.

3. DECENNIAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE INSPECTORATE.-The total number of schools subject to supervision and to examination by the Inspector of Schools in 1898 was, as stated above, 112 with an enrolment of 7,327 pupils. The corresponding figures for the years 1888 and 1878 are respectively 94 and 5,624, and 46 and 2,544. In 1898, 2,933 pupils or 40 per cent were learning English; in 1888, 1,469 or 26 per cent; whilst in 1878 there were nominally 479 or 19 per cent. But of the 479 scholars who were studying English in 1878, 38 were attending a school at Aberdeen which was closed in the summer, and the remainder were attending the district schools at Wong-nei- chung, Wantsai and Saiyingpun, which only commenced the study of English in the course of the year. In 1878, the number of girls learning English was 42; in 1888, 369, and last year 885.

4. TRIENNIAL STATISTICS.-In 1896 the number of scholars in the above mentioned schools was 6,313; in 1897, 6,787; and in 1898, 7,327. Of these the number in cach year learning English was 2,552, 2,523 and 2,933 respectively.

　　　　　5. SCHOOL FEES.- Four out of the seven Grant-in-Aid Schools, which give an education in English exclusively to Chinese boys, charge fees varying from $30 a year to $6. One of the three free schools will charge a small fee in 1899, and there will thus remain (exclusive of the Government District Schools) only two free schools in which Chinese boys may learn English; and of these, one was only opened in 1898 and has not yet a large attendance.

　　　　　6. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The average daily attendance in 1898 was 4,281. That of Grant-in- Aid Schools alone was 3,581. The attendance in them was seriously affected by the plague. In March the average daily attendance was 4,040, but in May it had dropped to 3,120, a decrease of 23 per cent, and did not recover until after the summer holidays, in September. The greatest decrease was in the eastern part of the town. In the Hawan and Wantsai districts it was 41 per cent, whilst further east still, in Sokonpo and Bowrington, it was as much as 63 per cent. Outside Victoria the attendance was very little affected. The Government Schools which suffered most were the Chinese division of the Belilios Public School in which the average daily attendance in May was only 30 per cent of the attendance in March, and the Wantsai School.

7. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS.-The results of the annual examinations of the Grant-in-Aid Schools are shown in Tables X and XII, which give the number of passes an failures in each standard, and the percentages of passes in each of the ordinary subjects, and in Table XI which gives the percentage of scholars who passed in the last two years in each school.

8. BELILIOS PUBLIC SCHOOL-I have already reported on the result of the examination of the Belilios Public School which was held in July last. To ensure greater privacy the wall along Holly- wood Road and Shing Wong Street has been raised so that passers-by cannot see into the school

building or the play-ground. The entrance from Gough Street, which was rarely used and was occasionally a source of annoyance, has been closed and the space on the play-ground available for games has been much increased in consequence. A tennis-court has been laid out and a club formed. Mrs. TUTCHER, the first assistant teacher, went home on leave on 19th February, 1898, and during her absence Miss LEY KUM was engaged as a temporary assistant in the Infant School. In September last Mrs. BATEMAN, the headmistress, was incapacitated for work through sickness, and the Govern- ment was very fortunate in being able to obtain the services of Miss MANNERS, who acted as head- mistress until the Christmas holidays. Mrs. BATEMAN has recommended the engagement of a teacher who has had both a Chinese literary education and an English education, for the Chinese division of the school. The appointment of a teacher with these qualifications would enable the headmistress to exercise a more effective control over the Chinese classes. In any case an extra teacher will soon be urgently wanted as there are only three at present and the average daily attendance in 1897 was 162 scholars.

　　　9. GOVERNMENT DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-Particulars as to enrolment and attendance at the District Schools are given in Tables IV, V and VII. I have already said that attendance was affected by the recurrence of the plague. The schools at Stanley, Wongmakok and Taitamtuk were closed at the end of the year. The Stanley school had never been a satisfactory one; no school can be where a teacher on a salary of $20 a month has to teach both English and Chinese.

English and Chinese. So the villagers have never been satisfied with the knowledge of English possessed by the school-masters, whilst the unhealthiness of the village and its isolation, almost complete during the cold season when there is no steam-launch running between Victoria and Stanley, made it impossible to obtain teachers with a satisfactory knowledge of English. Finally, the school-house, a hired building, was condemned as insanitary and unsuitable. On closing the school, the Government offered a grant to a school for teaching Chinese, if the villagers should wish to open one, and in the meantime a mixed school under the management of the Female Education Society offers an education for boys as far as the Third Standard, beyond which boys rarely go. At the last census the population of Wongmakok was found to be 44 persons and that of Taitamtuk 43. Both villages are quite isolated and shew no signs of growth. The teacher at Taitamtuk has been transferred to the Tanglung-chau School, where there was a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. TSUNG WAI-HING. Chinese has ceased to be taught at the two schools at Yaumati and Wong-nai-chung. This step will, I hope, improve their efficiency. At Yaumati, boys wishing to learn Chinese have a choice of more than one Grant-in-Aid School, and if no Grant-in-Aid School is opened at Wong-nai-chung the boys can attend schools at Wantsai or Tanglung-chau, about three-quarters of a mile away. The annual examinations were held in the month of January of this year after all the Grant-in-Aid Schools had been examined. The scholars at the schools at which English is taught were indebted to thirteen Chinese gentlemen who subscribed a sum of $90.00 for prizes, $84.60 of this have been spent and the balance will be carried forward to next year. Up till the year 1892 the Government set apart $185.00 a year for prizes, but in that year for reasons of economy prizes ceased to be given, In order that the prizes might be properly awarded I did not content myself with conducting a simple test examination on the lines of the Grant- in-Aid examinations, but held a severer and more searching one. Although such an examination is perhaps not necessary for testing the efficiency of the school, I have no doubt that it will act as a stimulus to both masters and scholars. I have reported on the state of each school in my letter No. 14 of the 17th ultimo. The teacher of the Chinese division of the Wantsai School resigned in January 1898. Mr. CH'AN U-TING was appointed to the post in February at a salary of $15 a month and a house-allowance of $6 a month. His predecessor's salary had been $25 a month with the same house- allowance. The teacher of the Chinese division of the Saiyingpun School, whose salary was $13 a month with a house-allowance of $6 a month, also resigned at the end of July and his place was filled by the appointment of Mr. LI CHAK-MAN at a salary of $10 a month rising to $13 a month with the same house-allowance.

10. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-The examination of the Grant-in-Aid Schools commenced on the 26th October last and was completed with the exception of one school on the 30th December. The written examination of the four highest standards of all but one of the schools in Class III. was held in the City Hall on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd December, the Committee having kindly placed the St. Andrew's Hall and the Music Room at my disposal. The Rev. T. W. PEARCE and Mr. J. P. Braga acted as Superintendents in the examination rooms. Mr. BRAGA was also appointed Assistant examiner in Portuguese and conducted the examinations of the Portuguese schools. There were 100 schools on the roll; the same number as last year, but three of them were temporarily closed owing to the inability of the managers to find suitable teachers. Two new schools have been placed under the Code; one, a boys' school, for teaching English at East Point, under the management of the London Missionary Society; the other, a mixed school for Chinese at Aberdeen, under the management of the Italian Sisters. The first school presented only 12 pupils at the examination, but its develop- ment had been checked by the plague. The school at Aberdeen was not admitted in time to enable the scholars to qualify themselves for examination. Hitherto there has been no girls school at Aberdeen. The Queen's Road West Boys School under the management of the Berlin Mission and the Santa Theresa girls school, under the management of the Italian Sisters--both schools in Class I, have been closed. A case of fraud on the part of the teacher of a Chinese school was discovered, and punished by withholding the teacher's share of the grant and by refusing to sanction his conducting a Grant-in-Aid School in future.

　　　　11. BRITISH KOWLOON SCHOOL.-On making a further representation to the Government, the Committee of the British Kowloon School were informed in July that the Government was prepared to establish a school in which a purely English education would be given, open to children of every nationality and to charge fees at the same rate as the fees paid at Queen's College.

　　　　12. SCHOLARSHIPS.--The only qualification now required to enable a boy to compete for one of the Free Government Scholarships at Queen's College is education at one of the Government District Schools. The examination was held on the 11th of February. There were eight

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　There were eight competitors; four from Wantsai School, two from Saiyingpun and two from Wong-nai-chung, but no scholarships were awarded, as none of the boys reached the required standard.

　　　　13. STAFF. From the 21st March to the 4th of September I was acting as Registrar General. From the 5th September to the 9th October I was absent from the Colony on vacation leave, and the Rev. T. W. PEARCE acted as Inspector of Schools.

HONGKONG VOLUNTEERS,

From the General Officer Commanding in China and Hongkong, To His Excellency the Governor, Hongkong.

HEAD QUARTER OFFICE, HONGKONG, 3rd May, 1899.

　　　　SIR,---I have the honour to enclose the Commandant's report of the training of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps for the season of 1898-99.

I made the Annual Inspection of the Corps on March 29th. There were very few absentees, the men turned out well, their arms and equipment clear, their drill good. I was therefore pleased with the Inspection. But previous to the Inspection I had given several opportunities to the Corps to turn out at their own hour, to act in conjunction with the Regular Troops, and I confess that I was dis appointed at finding that comparatively small numbers availed themselves of the opportunity presente:1

to them.

　　　　I think that perhaps there had sprung up a feeling that the services of the Hongkong Volunteers were not as highly appreciated as I, at any rate, do rate and appreciate the importance of their services in this Colony.

　　　　Seeing this I took the opportunity of placing Colonel MAINWARING, Commanding 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers, in temporary Command, in place of Major Sir Jons CARRINGTON, who had gone on leave.

　　　　The result of the energy displayed by this officer is already most apparent, and I look forward to ine ed eliciency and strength during this forthcoming year. It will be my duty

used

as it is my plynice to encourage this to the utmost of my ability.

　　　　I would call special attention to my previous letters respecting the advisability of hastening the issue of the already approved Small Arms, and also that the Maxims and 7-pouuder guns shall be replaced by more modern weapons.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Excellency's obedient Servant,

His Excellency

W. J. GASCOIGNE,

Major-General.

Major-General GASCOIGNE, C.M.G.,

Sc.,

&.c..

Se.

I am glad to find so favourable a report and I fully appreciate the interest taken in the force by Your Excellency and the energy shown by Colonel MAINWARING.

ESTABLISHMENT.

Officers and Staff Sergeants. 2. It will be seen by Enclosure 7, with the corresponding document for 7. State of Corps 16th April, 1899. the training 1897-98, that the total strength of the Corps is now 181 of all ranks, as against 176 of all ranks at the former date. This is the greatest strength to which the Corps has yet attained since its re-organization in 1893.

　　　During the past season, 3 members have died, 12 have been struck off the strength for non- efficiency, and 26 have resigned. Of the resigning members, 12 have left the Colony and 1 has been discharged on Medical Certificate. 46 new members have been enrolled.

　　　The Field Battery now numbers 117 and the "A" Machine Gun Company numbers 58 as com- pared with an Establishment of 80 and 51 respectively.

　　　The new draft Regulations submitted to you under this Office No. 3 of 4th instant nale provision for 3 Machine Gun Companies (the requisite guns for them are all in stock) and also a small Engineer Company. Immediately on the approval of the Governor-in-Council to these Regula- tions, I shall proceed to raise the Engineer Company and every endeavour will be made to raise the other 2 Machine Gun Companies during the ensuing drill season.

　　　3. The Fife and Drum Band of the Corps is making great effort to obtain proficiency and the draft Regulations submitted allow of its existence, and give substantive rank to the Non-Commissioned Officers employed with it.

　　　The thanks of all Ranks of the Corps are especially due to the Officers Commanding the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment and the 2nd Battalion Royal Welch Fusiliers for so kindly lending their Bands to the Corps on the many occasions found necessary and also the services of their Sergeant Drummers as Instructors, who have brought the Fife and Drum Band of the Corps up to the standard of efficiency it has reached.

4. The changes among the Officers of the Corps during the season have been :-

His Excellency Sir W. ROBINSON, G.C.M.G., Honorary Colonel of the Corps, vacated his appointment on the 31st January, 1899, and not as stated in the last Training Report of the Corps.

His Excellency Sir H. A. BLAKE, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of this Colony and its dependencies, has very kindly accepted the appointment of Honorary Colonel to the Corps.

Captain L. A. C. GORDON, Royal Artillery, Adjutant of the Corps, resigned his appoint- ment on the 10th April, 1899, on proceeding to England on leave. This Officer during his services as Adjutant to the Corps extending over a period of 44 years, has done much good work for the Corps, and his departure is much regretted by all Ranks.

Captain W. ST. C. BLAND, Royal Artillery, took over the duties of Adjutant of the Corps from 11th instant.

Surgeon-Lieutenant F. O. STEDMAN, M.D., (Lond.), was promoted to Surgeon-Captain on the 15th February, 1899.

Mr. A. H. LEE-NORMAN was appointed Supernumerary Lieutenant in the Field Battery on the 25th November, 1898, and was appointed Aide-de-Camp to His Excellency the Governor; this Officer resigned his Commission on the 4th February, 1899, on leaving the Colony.

Captain E. D. SANDERS, "A" Machine Gun Company, was appointed an Honorary Aide-de-Camp to His Excellency the Governor on the 9th instant.

1138

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JULY, 1899.

· DISCIPLINE, TRAINING, &c.

5. The discipline of the Corps has been exceptionally good throughout the season.

　　　　6. The usual Squad, Carbine, Company, Gun drills and practices have been well attended. Musketry drills have been performed but no Musketry practices, as by Home Volunteer Regulations these are not now required to enable Artillery Volunteers to become efficient although every effort has been made, and with good success, with the several carbine competitions held by each unit during the season.

Under the head of Drills the figures for the two existing units are as follows:-

Field Battery-

68 have become Efficient with more than 40 drills.

25 have become Efficient with less than 40 drills. 24 are Non-Efficients.

117

"A" Machine Gun Company-

26 have become Efficient with more than 40 drills. 17 have become Efficient with less than 40 drills. 15 are Non-Efficients.

Of the 24 non-efficients of the Field Battery 14 are absent from the Colony without leave, 2 are on Medical Certificate, and the remaining 8 although in the Colony have not completed the requisite number of drills and will be called upon to show cause of non-efficiency.

In the case of the 15 non-efficients of the "A" Machine Gun Company, 5 are absent from the Colony on leave, 5 are absent from the Colony without leave, 1 is a recruit who has not had sufficient time since joining to complete his drills, 1 is on medical certificate, and the remaining 3 although in the Colony have not completed the requisite number of drills, and will be called upon to show cause of non-efficiency.

7. From the 22nd to the 31st October, 1898, a Camp of Instruction was held under canvas on Stonecutters' Island. The use of the Naval Range was kindly lent by the Naval Authorities. The Camp was well attended and much appreciated by all. The Camp year by year seems more popular and to it much of the efficiency of the Corps in attributed.

8. Gun practices have taken place as shewn in Enclosures Nos. 3 and 4.

No practice was held this past season with the 64-pounder R.M.L. Guns, as orders were given that they were to be dismantled.

　　　　The 7-pounder R.M.L. and Machine Gun Competitions were held at Repulse February last, and the shooting was good and a great improvement on past years. competition was forwarded to His Excellency the General Officer Commanding No. of 24th February, 1899.

Bay on the 10th A report of which under this Office

9. The annual Carbine Competition in connection with the Corps was held on the 15th instant, and will be continued on the 22nd instant. A large number of valuable prizes have again been presented for which all Ranks are grateful.

10. Revolver practice by the Officers and Staff Sergeants has been held, report as Enclosure No. 5. 11. Coolie draught was tried once during the past season in conveying guns, targets, etc., to Repulse Bay on 10th February last, but much time was lost and it cost more than conveyance by

water.

SERVICES.

　　　　12. Captain W. ST. C. BLAND, Royal Artillery, who took over the Adjutancy of the Corps on 11th instant, has entered into his duties with zeal and enthusiasm, and promises to be as popular with all Ranks as Captain GORDON, Royal Artillery, the late Adjutant.

13. Captain A. CHAPMAN, Field Battery, was one of the Committee appointed to enquire into the interior economy, etc., of the Corps, which report was approved by Government, and which dealt fully with, I think, every question appertaining to the Corps.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JULY, 1899.

1139

The Officers of the Corps also continue to render good service; they set an admirable example to the Non-Cominissioned Officers and Men under their command, and do as much as possible to promote the efficiency of the Corps.

14. Corps Quartermaster Sergeant G. WATLING has discharged his duties in a most satisfactory manner, and has rendered very efficient service in connection with the various gun practices, com- petitions, etc., during the year, and particularly at the Camp of Instruction.

15. The Instructors for the Field Battery, "A" Machine Gun Co., Band, Signalling, and Am- bulance Classes, have proved themselves very efficient and painstaking, and have discharged their duties to my entire satisfaction.

16. The Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Corps have, with few exceptions attended regularly and shewn a praiseworthy desire to make themselves smart and efficient; their conduct and good feeling in Camp and on all occasions has been exceedingly good.

REGULATIONS.

　　　　　17. The proposed new Regulations for the Corps were, after many various alterations and after much care and thought on the part of Major Sir J. W. CARRINGTON, Knt, C.M.G., submitted through you for His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, and His Excellency the Governor-in- Council's approval on the 4th instant.

　　　　　The recommendations of the Committee held last year on the interior economy, etc., of the Corps, and sanctioned by C.S.O. No. 2581, dated 17th January, 1899, have been embodied in them.

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.

18. The Annual Inspection of the Corps by His Excellency the Major-General Commanding was

held on the 29th ultimo.

The parade state on that occasion is shewn in Enclosure No. 6.

　　　　　19. Surgeon-Captain F. O. STEDMAN, M.D. (Lond.), again conducted a course of lectures on Ambulance Work, accompanied with Stretcher Drills. 9 members presented themselves for examination, which was conducted by Major WATSON, R.A. Medical Corps; of the examinates 8 were successful.

　　　　　20. I have to request that the Chief Ordnance Officer, China, may be asked to keep up the usual quantities of 7-pounder R.M.L. Gun Ammunition for use of the Corps, to be indented for as required on repayment. Very little more Martini-Henry Carbine Ammunition, ball or blank, will, it is thought, be required by the Corps as the re-arming with the new Carbine of 303 calibre has been sanctioned, and it is hoped they will be received during the ensuing summer.

　　　　　21. The Local Government having sanctioned the proposels of the Committee held on the 29th September, 1898, it is felt that the result of their proposals cannot fail to add to the general efficiency of the Corps.

　　　　　22. During the past season attention has been drawn to the necessity for the re-arming of the Field Battery with a more modern gun than the 7-pounder R.M.L. in their possesion. The question has been gone into fully (Vide this Office No. 33 dated 15th March, 1899,) and it is hoped that the newest pattern gun may be supplied to the Corps.

23. Attention has also been drawn ( Vide this Office No. 2, dated 14th February, 1899,) to the unserviceable state of the 120 Machine Gun belts on Corps charge, and the question of replacing the 45 with 303" barrels to the 12 machine guns on Corps charge has also been gone into (Vide this Office No. 88, dated 17th April, 1899).

　　　　　24. The report of the Committee of Officers of the Corps on the question of uniform of the several ranks of the Corps was embodied in the new draft Regulations submitted recently for approval.

25. Requisitions for the Capitation Grant for Efficients and Proficients have been sent direct to the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer.

26. It will be seen from this report that the progress of the Corps remains good and the interest shewn by the Government and the Legislature during the past season cannot but have a good effect on the Corps in general.

Major Sir J. W. CARRINGTON, Knt., C.M.G, and Commandant, proceeded on leave on the 5th instant, from which date I assumed command.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 107 of the 28th April and its enclosures in which you have given me some further details of the recent disturbances in connection with the taking over of the New Territory.

I have read your despatch and enclosures with interest, and am confirmed in the favourable opinion which I expressed in my despatch No. 96 of the 26th ultimo as to your own action and the manner in which you have been supported both by civilian officials and by iler Majesty's Naval and Military forces. Without wishing to undervalue in any way the services rendered by others, it is evident to me that much has been due to the energy of Mr. LOCKHART, and to his local knowledge.

3. I have not failed to bring to the notice of the Secretary of State for War and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the manner in which you have spoken of the services rendered by the Naval and Military forces.

4. I have at the same time to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 105 of the 27th April enclosing a copy of a letter addressed to you by the Secretary to the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce in reference to the recent disturbances.

My Lord,

ALEXANDRIA,

2nd June, 1899.

I have the honour to forward herewith copies of two reports by Dr. MORRISON; the first concern- ing measures adopted against Hongkong and Kurrachee, and the second* respecting the manner in which the medical inspection of passengers and crews of vessels leaving Egypt is carried out.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

SIR,

ALEXANDRIA,

31st May, 1899.

I have the honour to draw your attention to the fact, that in consequence of the existence of plague at Hongkong it was decided on 29th May to apply to arrivals from that port the reglement against plague.

I beg also to inform you that in consequence of the existence in epidemic form of cholera at Kurrachee, the Commission Permanente of the Board decided to draw the attention of the Medical Officers at Suez to the matter. The plague regulations are in force against Kurrachee. These regu- lations are much more severe than those against cholera, so that it was quite enough to warn our doctors at Suez to be on the outlook for possible cholera cases coming from Kurrachee.

E. B. GOULD, Esq.,

Her Britannic Majesty's Consul General.

3. The admissions to Hospital show a decrease of 38, the number being 488 as compared with 526 in 1897, the average strength of the Force being slightly higher.

The rate of sickness was less with the Europeans and Indians but greater with the Chinese. The admission to Hospital from the various sections of the Force is given in the following table:

　　　　There have been no less than nineteen deaths amongst the members of the Force during the year; eight of these having occurred in the hospital, four in the European section and four in the Chinese.

Of the Europeans one died from Hepatic Abscess, one from Enteric Fever whilst two died from Delirium Tremens.

Table I. gives the admissions to the hospital and the mortality during each month of the year.

1190

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

Table II. gives the average strength, rate of sickness and mortality.

Table III. shows the admissions to hospital from the different stations and districts in each month of the year. Aberdeen continues much healthier and there were less admissions from Hunghom and Yaumati. No. VII Police Station contributed 67 admissions; additional accommodation is to be pro- vided by building a new Police Station for the west district, this is undoubtedly an urgent necessity, as that at No. VII is very inadequate.

The following table gives the total admissions to hospital and deaths in the Force for the last

ten years:

TROOPS.

4. There has been a decided decrease in the number of admissions to the hospital as compared with 1897 notwithstanding that the strength of the Troops has increased.

　　　From Table IV it will be seen that the rate of mortality was higher in the European troops but lower amongst the Indians.

The average daily rate of sickness is higher in both the European and Native troops, this being more marked in the former.

Of the 21 deaths no less than 12 were due to malarial fevers, there were three deaths from plague ; but in no case was the disease contracted whilst on plague duty.

The following table gives the sickness and mortality among the Troops for the past ten years:-

1889, 1890,.

　　　If it is the intention of the Government to meet this yearly increasing demand additional accom- modation will have to be provided.

The Victoria Hospital for Women and Children, when erected, will to some small extent effect this, but I am convinced that an entirely New Hospital supplying increased accommodation and arranged in accordance with the best modern practice will be one of the requirements of the Colony in the near future.

　　　It is with deep regret that I have to record the deaths of two of the members of the Nursing Staff, viz., Sisters FRANCES and GERTRUDE.

They both succumbed to pneumonic plague contracted whilst in the performance of their duties. Sister FRANCES evidently contracted it from one of her Chinese ward boys, who was under obser- vation suffering from what proved to be the pneumonic form of the disease. This was the first case of the kind that had occurred here, the boy was only ill for 36 hours and rapidly succumbed.

Sister GERTRUDE must have contracted the disease whilst nursing Sister FRANCES. The loss to the Hospital occasioned by the deaths of these two ladies is well nigh irreparable, and I take this oppor- tunity of testifying to the untiring zeal and unselfish devotion which always characterised their work.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

　　　　　They were two of the first English trained Nurses, who arrived in 1890 to join the Nursing Staff of this Hospital.

The community has shewn its respect for their memory and recognition of their noble work by erecting two marble crosses in the Happy Valley, and a memorial window in St. John's Cathedral.

　　　　　Sister CATHERINE was laid up at the same time with a mild attack of the disease and fortunately recovered.

　　　　　The Staff was still further lessened through this epidemic by the death of Indian Police Constable TULSEE SINGH who for 11 years was the cook to the Indian patients and acted as Interpreter; he was a faithful servant to this Department and his loss was keenly felt.

One of the coolies and the stoker also caught this disease, the former died but the latter fortun- ately recovered.

　　　　　The following table gives the number and classification of those admitted during the past ten years :--

1889.

From this it will be seen that there is a diminution in the Police and Government servants and an increase in all the other classes, this being the most marked in the case of the private paying patients.

The admissions and deaths in Hospital for the past ten years are as follows:-

1889, 1890,..

1897,.. 1898..

The percentage of deaths (5.36) is higher than that of the previous year.

　　　　It will be observed by referring to Table VI. that the mortality has been highest in the three plague years 1894, 1896 and 1898; this is accounted for by the deaths occurring in the hospital from this disease.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

6. The diminution in the number of admissions is due to the fact that only those who have been certified as being of unsound mind are given in the table, in previous years those under observation were so included: During the year there were 6 deaths and 37 were transferred to Canton.

INFECTIOUS HOSPITALS.

7. Kennedy Town Hospital. In the months of January and February there were 70 admissions from small-pox with 16 deaths.

　　　　During the plague outbreak there were 379 cases of plague admitted with 310 deaths-a mortality of 81.79 per cent; 29 were under observation and 17 in attendance.

HOSPITAL HULK "HYGEIA."

This ship was moved and anchored off Kennedy Town in the month of February, the Small-pox cases being transferred from Kennedy Town Hospital, so that the hospital could be available for plague patients.

MATERNITY HOSPITAL.

8. There were 24 confinements during the year, with no deaths. The one fatal case was that of a Chinese woman admitted from the Tung Wah Hospital, who aborted at the third month whilst suffer- ing from Malarial fever, she was moribund on admission and never rallied.

PUBLIC MORTUARY.

　　　　9. 1,314 bodies were received during the year as compared with 568 in 1897, the increase in due to the outbreaks of small-pox and plague.

Particulars as to nationality and cause of death are given in the report of the Medical Officer in

charge.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

511.00

These figures show a considerable increase in the number of prisoners, 351 more being admitted than in 1897, only once during the past ten years has this number been exceeded, viz., in 1896.

　　　Notwithstanding this the number of prisoners admitted to hospital was less than in 1897, the figures being 298 as compared with 342.

　　　Malarial fevers contributed 33 of these cases and 14 were admitted suffering from General Debility.

The total number of floggings with the birch was 173 as compared with 141 in 1897.

There were six deaths from natural causes, two prisoners committed suicide during the year by hanging themselves in their cells and six were executed.

　　　Amongst the structural alterations effected during the year a new hospital has been formed where the former warders' barracks were situated; this, however, has not yet been occupied as a hospital owing to the non-erection of new quarters for the warders.

TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.

11. The number of cases treated in this Hospital during the year was 2,898, an increase of 122 as compared with 1897; of these 2,029 were discharged. Of this number 417 were transferred to other institutions, e.g.:-

Government Civil Hospital,

Lunatic Asylums,

Kennedy Town Hospital, Branch Plague Hospital, Italian Convent,

....

Total,..

.153

.222

417

　　　Of the 2,442 cases remaining 23 per cent. were treated by Western methods and 77 per cent. by Chinese methods, a distinct improvement on last year. The mortality at the hospital is still very high: there were 842 deaths, 217 being moribund on admission.

1,588 vaccinations were performed during the year by the native doctors, 1,358 in Victoria and the remainder in the outlying districts.

Several improvements have been effected during the year, viz.:--

The reflooring of some of the wards with wood.

The provision of stoves to the wards.

Neither of the recommendations I made in my report last year have been effected. I refer to-

(1.) The provision of a water closet system in place of the present plan of removal of excreta. (2.) The abolition of the Ko Fong Wards.

VACCINE INSTITUTE.

12. The Institute was closed in December, 1897, owing to the prevalence of Foot-and-mouth disease and was not re-opened until November, 1898. During this time calf lymph was obtained direct from the Institut de Microbiologie at Saigon and gave every satisfaction.

The following vaccinations were performed during the year :--

Victoria Gaol,.

Government Civil Hospital,

Alice Memorial Hospital,

Tung Wah Hospital:-

Victoria,

Aberdeen, Stanley......

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

1193

13. I have omitted the usual tables showing the number of deaths amongst the European and Chinese members of the community attributable to filth as being out of date, these matters are more fully dealt with in the Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health to the Sanitary Board.

　　　　Small-pox--was practically epidemic during the first three months of the year, it was so prevalent in February that on the 15th of that month, No. 4 Health District was declared an area infected with this disease.

　　　　A house to house visitation was made, free vaccination stations were appointed, and the attention of the inhabitants was drawn by printed notices to the different places where this was being carried out, the Chinese being especially urged to take this opportunity of protecting themselves against this disease.

In all 199 cases were notified during the year, 178 of these occurring in the first three months.

Plaque. Unfortunately the Colony was again attacked in an epidemic form by this disease which was most prevalent during the months February to June inclusive; out of 1,320 cases reported during the year 1.298 occurred in these months.

Dividing the population into Chinese and non-Chinese it is found that the mortality amongst the non-Chinese attacked was 65.3 per cent., whereas that amongst the Chinese was 89.6 per cent.

　　　　The disease attained its maximum in the month of May; this was also the case in the 1896 out- break, indeed in this Colony the months of maximum mean temperature have always been followed by a material reduction in the number of cases.

　　　　Unfortunately more Europeans were attacked than was the case in 1896, the numbers being 26 as against 16.

It is worthy of note that an outbreak of rinderpest (cattle plague) occurred amongst the cattle at the Pokfulam Dairy Farm in the months of February and March and that during the earlier part of the year the neighbouring provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi were overrun with this disease which killed off large number of cattle.

A similar outbreak of rinderpest prevailed before the 1894 and 1896 outbreaks.

In the months of November and December, 1897, an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease prevailed, all the dairy farms of the Colony being affected-native and European.

Brigade-Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel WEIR reports an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease as pre-

ceding the first epidemic of plague at Bombay.

In 1896 an epidemic occurred amongst the pigs imported from Pakhoi.

Pork, in many cases only sun-dried, is one of the staple foods of the Chinese.

　　　　Dr. WILM and myself examined several of these pigs and the symptoms and post mortem appear- ances were similar to those of rinderpest in cattle, we obtained a diplococcus from the nasal mucus, spleen and mesenteric glands of these pigs almost identical with the plague bacillus in man.

　　　　In 1898, I found a like bacillus in the spleen and mesenteric glands of cattle that were killed on account of rinderpest.

　　　　I am informed that an epidemic amongst pigs occurred in and around Canton in the early part of 1898 before plague broke out in these districts.

　　　　Dr. MACDONALD, of Wuchow, writes me that plague is epidemic there this year and that preceding the outbreak in man there was an epidemic of rinderpest amongst the native cattle. Any facts like these are worthy of record as bearing possibly on the etiology of this prevalent disease.

Other diseases,--as is usually the case in plague years, were less prevalent, Malarial fevers judging by the admissions to the Government Civil Hospital being especially so. Excluding the deaths from plague, the death rate of the Colony would have been 1774 per 1,000 as against 18.85 in 1897. General sanitary condition of the Colony.-Though much has been done of late years to improve the sanitary condition of the Colony by :-

(a) The removal of illegal cocklofts, mezzanine floors and backyard obstructions;

(b) The concreting of the Chinese houses not only in Victoria but at Hung llom, Yaumati

and Tai Kok Tsui in British Kowloon;

(d) The closure of polluted wells, &c. ;

no one acquainted with the elements of sanitation and the conditions of overcrowding, filth and ignorance that exists, can fail to see that it will be years before those conditions necessary for the maintenance of the public health are satisfactory established in this City.

　　　　The Insanitary Properties Commission who had been sitting since August, 1896, issued their report in March of last year, and in it they state-

"That there are many insanitary properties in the Colony, and dwellings which, in their present "condition, are unfit for human habitation.

"The back portions of a number of houses visited by us are dark, ill ventilated, extremely dirty "and in some cases mere dens of filth. The interior of the cubicles or sub-divisions of the living rooms was such that in the great majority of cases their contents could only be seen by the aid of an "artificial light."

1194

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

They call particular attention to the tabulated statement of the Medical Officer of Health in which he states that in Health Districts V and VI out of a total of 3,095 Chinese houses 2,530 are insanit- ary. In the other Health Districts it appears from his evidence that a similar unsatisfactory state of

affairs exists.

To show to what extent overcrowding exists I append the following table from the Medical Officer of Health's report for 1897 :-

From this it is seen that in No. V Health District there are no less than 959 persons to the acre. To remedy these insanitary defects it is necessary to aim towards the attainment of abundance of pure air and light in houses, shops and streets, to provide an abundant supply of pure wholesome water, to do away with back to back houses, to abolish blind courts and alleys, to prevent overcrowd. ing and to increase as far as practicable open spaces in the crowded part of the City.

A Bill has been framed to make further provision for the sanitation of the Colony and is now under consideration by the Legislature.

It contains regulations as to cubicles, doing away with them entirely in houses fronting streets of a width of 15 feet or less, limiting their height, &c.

It makes the erection of mezzanine floors or cock lofts illegal without the permission of the Sanitary Board.

It limits the heights of buildings.

　　　　It also requires that no obstructions shall be in any private streets or lanes upon which domestic buildings abut.

This Bill if passed and carried out will considerably improve the sanitary condition of the Colony, but I am convinced that the main evil to overcome is that of overcrowding and until this is seriously considered and practically dealt with, the Colony will be liable to epidemics of plague and other similar diseases.

14. I attach to this the reports of :-

1. Government Civil Hospital.

2. Medical Officer in charge of the Mortuary.

3. Medical Officer to Victoria Gaol.

4. Visiting Surgeon to the Tung Wah Hospital.

5. Medical Officer to the Lunatic Asylums.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

Enclosure I.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

I.-HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

　　　The main portion of the Hospital has been unaltered with the exception of the construction of a covered way connecting the main building with the Women's Hospital where at present the clothing store is located; this is a great convenience especially in the rainy season.

　　　Nothing has been done yet towards supplying the Hospital with a suitable Laundry and Wash-house. I have referred to this need in each of my annual reports since 1892.

II. LUNATIC ASYLUMS.

These buildings have been satisfactorily maintained during the year.

III.-INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL AND HOSPITAL HULK Hygeia.

　　　The Infectious Hospital at Kennedy Town was in use practically for the whole of the year at any rate up to August owing to the existence of small-pox and plague in the Colony.

Extra matsheds were erected in the compound to provide the extra accommodation required. The Hygeia was transferred to this side of the Harbour and anchored off Kennedy Town for the reception of small-pox cases in the month of February by which time plague had become epidemic.

　　　In addition to small-pox five cases of cholera from the S.S. Devawongse were admitted to the Hygeia; two of them died. This disease was imported from Bangkok.

IV-MATERNITY HOSPITAL.

This building was maintained in a satisfactory state of repair.

V.-MEDICAL STAFF QUARTERS.

No alterations of any importance have been made during the past year.

VI. HOSPITAL PREMISES.

　　　Additional accommodation, which was much needed, have been provided at the Lodge by the erection of a building containing two rooms, one for the Indian cook and the other for the Indian porter.

A separate cook-house for the Indian patients was erected adjoining the Lower Hospital. The approach from the Queen's Road has been roughly concreted, rendering this steep road much easier to walk on.

　　　　　　　The total number under treatment was 488, 41 less than in 1897. There was a decrease of 12 amongst the European members of the Force, a decrease of 41 amo the Indian and an increase of 15 in the Chinese.

Gaol Officers.-There were 30 under treatment during the year as against 54 in 1897:

Principal Warders,.............. Warders,

Assistant Warders, Gaol Guards,

Eleven of these were due to malarial diseases; there were no fatal cases.

Influenza.-There were 24 cases under treatment, no fatal case.

　　　　　Typhoid. There were 33 cases under treatment during the year with 8 deaths, a mortality of . per cent as compared with a case mortality of 44.2 per cent of the total number of cases reporte during the year as occurring in the Colony. (See Medical Officer of Health's report.)

　　　　The mortality amongst the Europeans under treatment in Hospital was 13.6 per cent as against a case mortality of 35.1 per cent.

Seventeen originated in the Colony, two were from Canton, one from Wuchow, and one from Shanghai, the remainder were admitted from ships.

Diphtheria.-There were three cases under treatment with one death.

Cholera.-There were no cases admitted to this Hospital during the year, the only cases were those under treatment on the "Hygeia" ad?nitted from the s.s. "Devawongse."

Dysentery. There were 48 cases under treatment with two deaths.

　　　　　Malarial Fevers.-The admissions from this class of disease were 334 as against 432 in 1897; there were four deaths, one Indian and three Chinese dying from remittent fever.

Beri-beri.-There were 29 cases under treatinent with no deaths.

　　　　　Venereal Diseases.-I have again to record an increase in the number of cases admi ed suffering from constitutional syphilis as the following figures will show :-

　　　　　There is a considerable diminution in the numbers admitted suffering from Gonorrhoea, namely, 48 as against 77 in 1897.

Injuries.-There were 352 ad?nissions with 18 deaths as against 373 with the same number of deaths in 1897.

Surgical Operations.-There were 224 during the year with 10 deaths, a large increase as compared with the previous year.

Amongst the more important operations during the year were the following:

　　　　　Ovariotomy. In this case the cyst was multitocular with slight adhesions on the right side; the patient made an uninterrupted recovery.

　　　　　Hernia. There were four cases operated on. In three, who were Chinese, the hernia was strangulated; of these two died. This is not to be wondered at when it is considered that in each of these the strangulation was of some duration, in one case the intestine being quite gangrenous.

　　　　　The fourth case, that of an European, was a radical cure in an irreducible adherent omental hernia; the result was very satisfactory.

Splenectomy. The patient never rallied from the shock of the operation and died of collapse. Elephantiasis Scroti.-Dr. BELL removed successfully an elephantoid scrotum weighing 12 lbs. from a Chinaman who came to Hongkong from Swatow to be operated on.

　　　　　Ligature of Femoral Artery.--This artery was tied in order to stop the hamorrhage from an extensive wound of the leg; the Chinaman had lost too much blood before admission and died of collapse.

　　　　　Malignant Pustule. This case, which appeared to be almost hopeless, recovered after free inci- sions into the phlegmonous skin and tissue of the lower lip and face, pure Carbolic Acid being applied to the mucous membrane of the lip and cheek.

　　　　　Psoas Abscess. After incision and free drainage the patient, an European, rapidly recovered and was discharged cured.

Appendicitis.-There was one case operated on during the year, result satisfactory.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

BULLET WOunds.

As usual there were several cases admitted from the outlying districts, the most severe was one on Yaumati with a bullet wound that entered the neck just above and to the left of the sternum, it the clavicle and skirting the upper two or three intercostal spaces emerged in the back at he posterior fold of the axilla. Fortunately the large blood vessels escaped injury and after the removal of several pieces of the clavicle the wound healed up.

　　The other two presented no particular features of interest: one was a bullet wound of the forearm admitted from Hung-Hom; the bullet had passed through the arm and was lying under the skin; it was extracted without any difficulty; in the second case, the ballet had passed through the thigh just above the patella, fortunately escaping the joint.

COMPOUND FRACTURE OF THE SKULL.

This case shows the extraordinary vitality some of the Chinese possess:--

　　The patient, a Chinaman, was admitted from the Tung Wah Hospital on the 26th April where Le had been for two weeks, with a compound fracture extending through the right parietal and occipital bone; the wound was very dirty and covered with the usual Chinese pitch; the cause of the injury was a fall of some 30 feet from the third storey of a house On the 29th as there was severe hemorrhage which could not be stopped the man was anesthetised and the wound explored, on elevating some depressed bone a quantity of brain matter extruded and as it was impossible to seize any bleeding vessel the huge hole in the cranium was plugged with carbolic oiled lint, no less than 8 inches of lint half an inch wide being used; two days afterwards this was removed and the wound syringed with 1 in 2,000 corrosive solution; there was no return of the haemorrhage; with the exception of slight left facial paralysis, he recovered completely. The temperature, which rose to 105° the day after the operation, remained high for three or four days, by the 4th May it had fallen to 100° and was normal on the 6th May; it did not rise again to 100°; the wound took a long time in filling up, but he was eventually discharged cured on the 17th August.

Enclosure II.

PUBLIC MORTUARY, HONGKONG, 31st January, 1899.

　　　　SIR, I have the honour to forward to you, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the enclosed report on the Public Mortuary for the

year 1898.

I have the honour to be,

Dr. J. M. ATKINSON,

Principal Civil Medical Officer.

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

JAMES A. Lowson,

Medical Officer in charge.

PUBLIC MORTUARY.

　　　　What I have to report on this institution at present must be mainly statistical as the more im- portant remarks must be combined with those on Plague, which will be treated later on.

　　　　Drs. BELL and THOMSON were in charge until I arrived in the Colony from leave on January 13th. From that date I remained in charge until July 29th, from which time till September 20th I acted as Principal Civil Medical Officer, Dr. THOMSON taking charge of the Mortuary. After October 3rd Dr. THOMSON and I exchanged duties to a certain extent, and he remained in charge until the end of

the year.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

1211

Thanks to an enlightened Police Magistrate, who has the power to order post-mortem examina- tions to be made, a fairly reliable statement of causes of deaths can at last be supplied to the public. For years the cry of "No post mortem" has been dinned into one's ears by people who did not know the great issue at stake, but fortunately now the mere word "Plague" is sufficient to stop the croakings of those whose only fear was hurting (?) Chinese prejudices. On this point I may say that during my stay in Hongkong I have never heard a complaint about a sectio cadaveris after the friends are told that the Magistrate has ordered such sectio to be inade. It is the old story; when a few Chinese wish to push some scheme of their own, they will always be able to raise some popular battle cry, such as cutting up pregnant uteri instead of buboes, etc. as happened in 1894. It is to be hoped for the sake of the Colony that no more attention will be paid to these in future. In 1898 over 1,100 sectiones cadaveris in Chinese have been made by Drs. BELL, THOMSON, and myself at the Mortuary alone, and not one word has been heard about them.

　　　　A large number of these were made with the tacit consent of relatives without the necessary inter- vention of a Police Magistrate.

　　　　The importance of knowing the cause of death is now much more acknowledged and seen by the Chinese than by Europeans; to a Chinese a doubtful case means disinfection and cleansing of his house, and he prefers to have his relatives examined on the off chance of their not having Plague, to having himself and his house thoroughly cleaned up.

　　　　During the year 1,314 human bodies were received at the Mortuary, and of these 610 died (diagnosed) of Plague, almost entirely between February and July. Of the 1,314 bodies received, 16 were those of Europeans, 5 of Portuguese, 4 of Indians, 3 semi-decomposed dogs, 2 Japanese, and the remainder Chinese.

Of the 610 plague bodies received, the addresses of 277 were known. The remainder were picked in the harbour, streets, hill-sides, and out-of-the-way places. During the plague period 114 bodies were received so decomposed that the cause of death could not be accurately ascertained. It is need- less to say that commonsense points to many of these having died of plague, as during the rest of the year only 13 decomposed bodies were received. The importance of these figures will be seen, when treating of plague later on. The diagnosis of all plague cases was confirmed by bacteriological exa- minations where there was the slightest doubt.

　　　　Of the 74 deaths from small-pox 66% were those of children below 5 years of age, of which most were below 3 whilst there were only 3 adults received who had died of the disease. Conclusions will be drawn in writing of infectious disease. There has been some talk in late years about Typhoid, and occasionally scares have been caused. It has been the policy-at least of Dr. THOMSON and myself-to open every body we possibly could, with the permission of the Magistrate, and we only found 3 cases of Typhoid Fever (all in children) out of the large number we examined. To my mind, this only points out it may occur in Hongkong, but to say Typhoid is prevalent is to mis-state the case.

In the tables which follow, the figures speak for themselves. Under the heading of "Still-born" are included f?tuses, those born dead, and those dying evidently within a few hours of birth. 96 is a pretty large number for Hongkong; probably a lot more were never heard of. A majority of these cases were returned "want of attention at birth.' Malnutrition is responsible for 31 deaths, principally those of very tender years, and it will be seen that the care of the young in Hongkong is not much to talk about from a favourable point of view. 43 deaths from drowning is also a large order, most of of them occurring before the typhoon season had set in. The deaths from diarrhoea (79) almost all occurred in young children, the result of gastro-enteritis-another proof of the absence of care for the young in Hongkong.

　　　　The following tables have been drawn up in very simple form, as it is really in the province of the Medical Officer of Health to report on the total death statistics of the Colony. During the year the method of keeping the records has been improved and next year a better set of tables will prob- ably be the result. Of the poisoning cases, 12 were due to opium, 1 to arsenic, and 2 to irritants not discovered.

　　　　As regards accommodation in the Mortuary, additional tables had to be provided during the plague epidemic, as the number hitherto in use was quite inadequate.

　　　　The water supply was hopelessly insufficient at different times of the year, and the stench was often unbearable on this account.

　　　　The caretaker has greatly improved the appearance of the Mortuary by some careful gardening. This man is known amongst his friends by the sobriquet of "The Butcher," and he has done all his duties in a most satisfactory manner.

Enclosure III.

Report of the Medical Officer of Victoria Gaol.

VICTORIA GAOl,

1213

HONGKONG, 27th January, 1899.

　　　　SIR, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the medical report of the health and sanitary condition of Victoria Gaol for the year 1898.

　　　　The total number of Admissions to the Gaol was 5,427, as compared with 5,076 in 1897 and 5,582 in 1896; and the daily average number of prisoners was 511, as compared with 462 and 514 in the previous two years respectively.

　　　　298 prisoners were admitted to the Gaol Hospital, as compared with 342 in 1897 and 507 in 1896; and 1,033 less serious cases, including skin diseases, were treated in the cells, as compared with 455 in 1897 and 740 in 1896. In these figures no account is taken of a large number of trivial com- plaints made daily, many of them by malingerers trying to shirk labour tasks to which they have been sentenced.

　　　　The Hospital cases included 33 Malarial Fever, 12 Venereal Diseases, 11 Rheumatism, 14 General Debility, and 17 Mechanical Injuries. A considerable number of these injuries were known, or believed, to have been self-inflicted in order to escape hard labour. Eleven of the cases of skin disease among Europeans were Pemphigus Contagiosus, all of which occurred during the month of September. They were at once isolated, and daily inspection of all European prisoners was carried out until cases ceased to appear. No cases occurred among the Chinese prisoners.

The increase in the number of extern cases was due partly to the smaller number received into Hospital, but chiefly to a more systematic treatment of all cases of skin disease and venereal disorders. The following extracts from the appended table and from the corresponding table of last year illustrate this :-

　　　　I have endeavoured also to make the largest possible use of the Gaol towards the stamping out of Small-pox in the Colony, and all prisoners admitted during the year have been vaccinated, when calf lymph has been available, unless age, health, or other consideration rendered the operation undesirable. Formerly only long-sentence prisoners were vaccinated. The number of persons vaccinated was 4,507, a very much larger number than in any previous year. One of the appended tables shows the number and results of vaccinations in the Gaol during the past ten years. It will be noted that a very considerable proportion of the prisoners vaccinated have had marks of previous vaccination. After all due allowance is made for the fact that in the case of habitual criminals many of such previous marks were probably made in the Gaol itself during former imprisonments, it seems evident that vaccination is fairly wide-spread among the Chinese of this neighbourhood.

A case of Small-pox having occurred in a European warder in the month of January, I promptly made a careful inspection of all the officers and inmates of the institution for marks of previous vacci- nation or of Small-pox, and, with the assistance of Dr. CHUNG KING UE and the late Dr. U I Kai, vaccinated all who were unable to prove either recent vaccination or an actual attack of Small-pox. Of 498 persons inspected, .290 were vaccinated, as follows:-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

　　　　There were three cases of Plague, two of which are shown in the Table as having been in the Hospital while under observation. The third was removed direct from his cell to the Plague Hospital at Kennedy Town. All three occurred in prisoners recently admitted to Gaol, and presumably infected before admission. In each case careful measures were adopted to prevent the spread of the disease in the Gaol, fortunately with complete success.

Six deaths from natural causes occurred during the year, as follows:-Chronic Bronchitis, Tuberculosis of Lungs (two cases), Multiple Liver Abscess, Gall-Stone, and Plague. There were also eight deaths by Hanging :-two suicides and six executions.

　　　　The total number of Floggings with the birch was 173-101 by order of the Police Magistrate, 3 by the Supreme Court, 51 by the Superintendent, and 18 by the Superintendent along with a Justice of the Peace. In no case was injury caused requiring surgical treatment or any modification of the prisoner's labour.

Twenty-seven prisoners were during the year discharged from the prison on the recommendation of the Medical Officer. as follows:--11, found to be suffering from Leprosy, were handed to the police for deportation from the Colony; 9 were found to be of unsound mind, for the most part on their first admission to the Gaol, and were sent to the Lunatic Asylum; 2 were transferred to the Govern- ment Civil Hospital, 4 to the Tung Wah Hospital, and 1 to Kennedy Town Hospital.

During the year I have, in consultation with the Superintendent of the Gaol, and with the fullest information on the subject before me from local and convict prisons in Great Britain and from prisons in different parts of India, reconstructed the whole of the Diet Scales in the Gaol, and the amended dietaries have been adopted by the Government.

　　　　The health of the warders has been satisfactory, an unusually small number of them having been sent to Hospital during the past year.

The sanitary condition of the Gaol is good, and is being greatly improved in connection with extensive structural alterations now in progress.

　　　　These alterations have included the transformation of part of the warders' barracks into a com- modious hospital; but, while the necessary structural changes have been made, the wards have had to be re-occupied by Indian warders, pending the erection of their own new quarters. Meanwhile, the old hospital having been given up to be merged in the female prison, on the understanding that the new one would at an early date be a ailable, the medical work of the Gaol has during the greater part of the year been carried on at great inconvenience, and unsatisfactorily, in certain cells previously assigned to debtors.

I append the following Tables :-

I. Showing the Admissions and Mortality in Victoria Gaol Hospital during the year 1898;

II. Showing cases treated by the Medical Officer in Victoria Gaol, but not admitted to Hos-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29?? JULY, 1899.

Enclosure IV.

Report of the Inspecting Medical Officer of the Tung Wah Hospital.

1217

TUNG WAH HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 9th February, 1899.

SIR, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Annual Report of the Tung Wah Hospital for the year 1898.

The number of patients in the wards at the beginning of the year was 121; 2,898 were admitted during 1898, making a total of 3,019 under treatment; 2,029 were discharged; 842 died; leaving 148 in the Hospital on the evening of 31st December.

The Admissions during the past ten years have been:---

1889....

1890

1891.

1892.

1893...

1894....

1895.....

2,514

2,455

2,255

2,354

2,732

2,041

2,776

2,898

From these figures it will be seen that the number of Admissions last year was greater than in any year during the decade, as was the case also for 1897 as compared with the ten years preceding that; so that the resolution of the Government two years ago to insist upon necessary reforins in the Tung Wah Hospital has been accorded the approval of at least the classes for whose benefit the insti

tution exists.

Of the 2,898 Admissions, 1,873 were treated by the Chinese native doctors; 569 by Dr. CHUNG according to European methods; and 456 are classed as transferred to other Hospitals. In this 456, however, 39 cases of Plague and Small-pox, brought to Tung Wah Hospital in a dying condition, and allowed to die before removal to Kennedy Town, are included for convenience of classification, so that the actual number removed elsewhere for treatment was 417. These were distributed as follows: 36 to the Civil Hospital, 3 to the Lunatic Asylum, 153 (16 Small-pox and 137 Plague) to Kennedy Town Infective Diseases Hospital, 222 to the Tung Wah Branch Plague Hospital at Kennedy Town, and 3 to the Italian Convent.

　　　　　Thus only 65 per cent. of the total number of patients admitted came under native treatment, 35 per cent. being treated by Dr. CHUNG or transferred to other institutions for foreign treatment. those transferred be excluded, and the 2,442 cases actually, treated at the Tung Wah Hospital be alone considered, 23 per cent. were treated by Western methods, and 77 per cent. by Chinese methods. When it is mentioned that there are six native doctors, it will be apparent that even in this second year of the new regime Dr. CHUNG and his European practice have secured more than a proportional share of the work being done in the wards. The selection of treatment is entirely at the option of the patients or their friends, no pressure being brought to bear, except in certain well-defined circumstances which are recognised and submitted to by the native doctors, viz. :-all cases of infective disease at once pass under the care of Dr. CHUNG; all cases brought in by the Police are treated by him; and in cases of emergency, where life or limb would inanifestly be sacrificed by non-interference, under special instructions from myself, or occasionally on his own initiative, Dr. CHUNG steps in and takes

control.

90,880 consultations in the Out-Patient Department, which is a separate building on the opposite side of Po Yan Street, are reported by the native doctors. In 1897 the number was 117,542.

1,588 vaccinations were performed, as compared with 2,142 in the previous year, in Hongkong and the out-lying villages, as shown in the appended Table, by a Public Vaccinator connected with the Tung Wah Hospital.

　　　　　853 male Destitutes were supplied with food and shelter for varying periods during the year, and given such further assistance as was considered desirable by the Directors of the Hospital. They came from sources as follows:-

Shipwrecked sailors and fishermen, Sent from Registrar-General's Office, Brought by Police,.

Lodged for Po Leung Kuk Committee, Arrived from Saigon,

Macao,

Recommended by various hongs, etc.,

153

1218

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

The large numbers coming from Saigon are chiefly people who have been unable to pay the poll- tax there, and who after being in prison for this reason are handled to a Chinese charitable society to be returned to their native districts. The Tung Wah Directors assist this society by receiving them on their arrival in Hongkong, and arranging for their being forwarded to their destinations, while contributions sent to the Hospital funds from Chinese in Saigon more than cover the outlay involved.

The similar work of the refuge known as the Po Leung Kuk, adjoining the Tung Wah Hospital, which while under the management of another Board of Directors works in co-operation with the other, may here be mentioned. This institution has during the past year found husbands for 30 women, secured adoption into families for 7 girls, and sent to their homes in the country 106 men and 205 women and girls.

Of the 842 deaths, 217 (176 male and 41 female) were moribund on admission, death occurring within a few hours after reception into the Hospital. Where curative treatment is hopeless, such palliative treatment as may be possible is administered by the Chinese doctors or by Dr. CHUNG using Western methods as may have been selected by the patient or his friends, and the cases are classed accordingly. Thus of the 217 moribund cases, 60 are classed in the Table showing Admissions and Mortality as having been under European treatment, and 157 as under Chinese treatment.

In addition to the above, 344 dead bodies (257 male and $7 female) were brought to the Tung Wab Hospital mortuary to await burial. An approximate diagnosis of the causes of death for the purposes of the Registrar-General's returns is made by means of inspection of these bodies and cross- questioning of the friends or relatives as to the symptoms and duration of the illnesses preceding death. On account of the antipathy of the Chinese to any mutilation of the dead body, post-mortem section is resorted to as seldom as possible; but where the statements made scem to be not straightforward, or where death may have resulted from infective disease, or where medico-legal questions are involved, as in sudden death and death by accident, suicide, poisoning, &c., the bodies are transferred to the Public Mortuary for internal examination. Such internal examination was considered necessary in 20 cases during the year.

Some of those who die in the Hospital and of those brought to the Hospital Mortuary are buried privately by their relatives, but the larger proportion are buried at the expense of the Hospital funds. Large numbers of poor people also who die in the Government Civil Hospital, and abandoned dead bodies found by the Police and taken to the Public Mortuary, are buried by the charitable funds of the Tung Wah Hospital. During 1898 free burial was thus provided for 1,309 persons, as follows: 603 from Tung Wah Hospital; 159 bodies brought in already dead; and 547 from the Government Civil Hospital and the Government Public Mortuary.

THE HOSPITAL STAFF.

The Steward who was on probation at the date of my last report proved satisfactory, and his appointment was confirmed. This carries into effect the recommendation of the Tung Wah Commis- sion that such an office should be created, and the duties assigned to the Steward are those suggested:- he is held responsible for the sanitary maintenance of the Hospital buildings and drainage, for the personal cleanliness of the patients, their bedding and clothing, for the proper carrying out of the conservancy system, for the proper ventilation of the wards, &c., and the working staff of the Hospital is under his control. The Steward along with Dr. CHUNG and a head coolic accompany me all over the Hospital daily at my morning inspection, and I am thus able at once to point out anything requir- ing attention to the person immediately responsible for it.

A second student of the College of Medicine for Chinese, named LEUNG CHIK FAN, was early in the year appointed by the Directors to assist Dr. Chung.

　　　TANG KING FAI, his first student-assistant, has been appointed by the Directors, and recognised by the Government, as Public Vaccinator in connection with the institution, in addition to his clinical duties.

THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

All the six large wards on the ground-floor have been re-floored with wood.

　　　The wards are now warmed by means of stoves insteal of the small fire-places formerly in use, though the latter are still available in case of need.

　　　The kitchen has been re-floored and re-constructed, with very considerable improvements in its arrangements and equipment.

　　　A covered gangway has been constructed between the verandahs of the upper floors of the North and West Blocks of wards, facilitating communication between them.

A strong iron fence has been erected round the verandah of the upper storey of the West Block

of wards, which includes the Fever Wards, to obviate risks to delirious patients.

All the drains have been examined, and where defective have been put in order, under the supervi

sion of the architect, and of officers of the Public Works Department.

　　　The appearance of the Hospital has been materially improved during the year by a free use of paint and colour-washing, and by the placing of plants in pots all over the institution.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

1219

Certain of the Ko Fong wards still remain, and the use of these for the accommodation of the female patients is in every respect unsatisfactory. This question would probably have been dealt with in 1898 but for the disturbance in the financial calculations of the late Board of Directors that resulted from the Plague Epidemic, and the consequent necessity of maintaining for a time a special Plague Hospital. It is to be hoped that the new Directors will move vigorously towards the removal. of this ground of complaint, under the stimulus of the generous offer made by His Excellency at his recent meeting with them on 10th January to grant a site for the necessary enlargement of the Hospital on part of the adjoining resumed area on Taipingshan.

THE WARDS AND THE WARD WORK.

A uniform has been provided for the use of the ward-coolies.

During the summer over 250 small blankets were purchased, and were in use in all the wards. The Directors of the previous year had refused to sanction the use of blankets. As the cold weather advanced, the cotton quilts ("meen-tois") were issued again, to a large extent new, however, and all of them clean and in good order, but the use of blankets during the autumn indicates the beginning of the disappearance of the opposition that formerly existed to all forms of bedding except these quilts. I make a weekly inspection of all "meen-tois" in use with their covers removed.

Clothing and bedding are now kept clean, and the regulations which I made regarding them are carried out to my satisfaction. The clean clothing is laid out on the beds for my personal inspection before use every Wednesday and Saturday morning, and the soiled clothing is changed and removed from the Hospital immediately after my visit. In former times all the washing was done within the Hospital, but under new conditions this soon became impossible, and now nearly all of it is done by outside laundrymen.

A temperature chart is now kept in all cases of Diarrhoea as well as in all cases of Fever, whether under native or Western treatment, to obviate the probability of obscure cases of Enteric Fever being classed as simple Diarrhoea, with the consequent risks of infection.

　　　　Quinine is now systematically used, though under protest on the part of some of the native doctors, in all cases diagnosed malarial, whether under native or Western treatment. In the more virulent types and in cases brought in comatose, it is administered by Dr. CHUNG subcutaneously. By this means the mortality in malarial fevers has been reduced from 33 per cent. (191 deaths in 571 cases) in 1897 to 23 per cent. (122 deaths in 521 cases) in 1898. It is still abnormally high, and would no doubt be further reduced were all cases treated properly, but it is to some extent at least due to the large number of cases of Pernicious Remittent Fever brought in advanced stages from out-lying districts such as Aberdeen and Quarry Bay.

It is necessary throughout the Table showing the proportion of deaths to admissions to have in mind the fact that the Tung Wah Hospital is largely used as sort of dying house by the lower orders of the Chinese community, many cases "in extremis" being brought in from the coolie houses, &c., and many others being in perfectly hopeless stages of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Heart Disease, Malarial Cachexia, &c.

OPERATIONS.

　　　　Almost from the beginning of his connection with the Tung Wah Hospital Dr. CHUNG has performed surgical operations of a minor character, but only lately has he felt himself at liberty to attempt there anything at all serious, though he had previously had considerable operative experience. During the latter part of the year he has successfully performed the following :-

Amputation through the thigh,

Lateral Lithotomy for Vesical Calculus (3 cases), Reduction of Dislocation of Hip Joint,

Removal of Necrosis of Lower Jaw,

Operations for Cataract, Entropion, Pterygium, Fistula in Ano, Cysts, &c.

This is specially worthy of note as marking the introduction of European Surgery under the influence of Chloroform into the Tung Wah Hospital. In all cases where a general anaesthetic was used, it was administered by Dr. WAN TUN Mo, House-Surgeon of the Alice Memorial Hospital, who is an experienced anesthetist. All the patients have done well, and there has been no case of death following operation.

THE PLAGUE EPIDEMIC.

　　　　During the Plague Epidemic of 1898 the Tung Wah Hospital was used as a convenient centre for the inspection and diagnosis of suspicious cases found alive by the search parties, and from the beginning of May all Chinese patients were first conveyed thither. Dr. CHUNG at once forwarded those found to be suffering from Bubonic Plague to Kennedy Town, and less pronounced cases were detained in the Receiving Ward for further examination by myself.

The Captain Superintendent of Police appointed Chinese constables to superintend the transfer of Plague cases to the Plague Hospitals, and these were on duty at the Tung Wah Hospital day and night while the epidemic lasted.

1220

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

THE TUNG WAH BRANCH PLAGUE HOSPITAL.

　　　To assist the Government to cope with the epidemic, and to induce the Chinese to make carlier declaration of cases of Plague occurring in their houses, a Native Plague Hospital was opened by the Directors of the Tung Wah Hospital on 2nd May, and remained open until 27th June.

　　　This Hospital, which was described as the Tung Wah Branch Plague Hospital, consisted of twenty-two matsheds erected on the shore in front of the Government Infective Diseases Hospital at Kennedy Town, three of which had previously been used in connection with that institution, whilst the others were specially built. These were used for purposes as follows:-

5 wards,

1 (in 3 divisions) Directors' Room, Students' Room, and Office,

2 divided to form Doctors' Rooms,

1 Dispensary and sleeping room for dispensers,

1 Room for disinfecting visitors,

1 Fire-engine house,

1 Porter's room,

3 Coolic houses,

1 Amahs' room,

2 Kitchens,

1 Laundry,

1 Mortuary,

1 Coffin store,

1 Latrine.

　　　The five wards contained accommodation for 100 patients, and might in case of need have taken in a larger number without being injurious'y overcrowded. Fortunately, the epidemic was not such as at any time to use them to their full capacity.

The wards and some of the other matsheds were built on piles, out from the sea-wall, the floors being on a level with the top of the wall; and thus was secured the advantage of having the whole area under them washed twice a day by the tides, as well as a very free circulation of air within them. They all had verandahs on the side fronting to the sea, and the new ones also on the opposite side.

The following staff of Employes was arranged for at the date of opening:-

2 Students of Western medicine,

8 Native Chir ese doctors,

1 Chinese cle.k,

1 Head-coolie,

2 Dispensers,

4 Cooks,

3 Boys (attendants for doctors and students),

2 Amals,

30 Coolies (ward attendants, &c.),

2 Night-soil coolies,

1 Messenger,

1 Barber.

　　　This Staff was gradually reduced as it became apparent that the epidemic was not going to prove so serious as was at one time anticipated.

　　　I visited the Branch Hospital twice a day for purposes of diagnosis and sanitary supervision, until near the end of the epidemic when I attended once a day. Dr. CHUNG, Resident House-Surgeon in the Tung Wah Hospital for European treatment, also visited the Branch Hospital twice daily.

The two students of the College of Medicine for Chinese were engaged at my suggestion to allow patients the same option of treatment by Chinese or European methods that is now given to all who enter the Tung Wah Hospital. It was found, however, in practice that the choice made at the Tung Wah Hospital by patients or their friends to be sent to the Government Plague Hospital or the Tung Wah Branch Hospital respectively, included their choice of methods of treatment, and all who came to the latter expected to be treated by the Chinese doctors. The work of these students, therefore, came to be the keeping of necessary records; the preparation of the daily returns made to His Ex- cellency the Officer Administering the Government, the Principal Civil Medical Officer, and the Sanitary Board; and the carrying out of my instructions regarding the sanitary maintenance of the Hospital; while they were occasionally called in by the native doctors to incise buboes and otherwise to some extent modify the native treatment.

　　　A police guard was maintained night and day at the gate of the Branch Hospital by the Captain Superintendent of Police, to secure the carrying out of regulations for the prevention of the spread of infection from the Hospital.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

　　　　The encoffining and burial of the Dead were under the supervision of two English soldiers, who were for the time being on the staff of the Sanitary Board. They also overlooked the disposal of excreta, &c., from the wards. The night-soil from the wards was mixed with sawdust, and destroyed by fire on an incinerator, which consisted of two parallel brick walls about 2 feet 6 inches high and six feet long, with a close grating of iron bars across the top, the ground surface between the walls being concreted.

The visits of friends of patients were carefully regulated and limited, and all such visitors were required to disinfect themselves after leaving the wards.

　　　　The total number of Admissions to the Branch Hospital was 224, of whom 222 came via the Tung Wah Hospital. Of these, 15, all male, proved after due observation not to be suffering from Plague, and were returned to the Tung Wal Hospital for treatment of their various conditions, or permitted to return to their homes.

Of the 209 cases of Plague (138 male and 71 female), 5 were transferred to the Government Plague Hospital, 3 were removed by their friends to Canton, 28 were discharged cured, and 173 died. This gives a death-rate of 82.8 per cent., as compared with the general rate among the Chinese of 89.6

per cent.

　　　　In addition, two dead bodies of Plague patients were received, and two premature births occurred in the Hospital.

76 had femoral buboes, 25 axillary, 24 inguinal, 8' cervical, 3 were of pneumonic type, and 73 had neither buboes nor pneumonic symptoms. No post-mortem examinations were possible, so that no information regarding internal glandular swellings was obtainable. Bacteriological examination was made of blood, &c. from doubtful cases.

None of the employes of the Hospital contracted Plague.

When the Branch Hospital was closed on 27th June, careful precautions were adopted to secure the efficient disinfection of such furnishings as could be returned to the Tung Wah Hospital, and such as could not be thoroughly disinfected were destroyed.

　　　　Bedboards were washed with Jeyes' Fluid and exposed to the sun, and were afterwards re-painted before being stored for future use. White clothing and blankets were soaked in Jeyes' Fluid, boiled, washed, and sent to the Public Disinfector for steam disinfection, after which they were removed direct to the Tung Wah Hospital. All other clothing and bedding, including the quilted cotton coverlets, quilted jackets, bedmats and pillows, with the beds, &c., used in the Mortuary, were destroyed by fire in my presence. All dishes and other vessels used in the wards were broken.

　　　　The matsheds and the incinerator were by direction of the Government left in situ, for future use should the occasion arise.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

　　　　I desire to acknowledge my sense of indebtedness to the late Directors of the Tung Wah Hospital, who have given the most courteous consideration and attention to every matter that I have found it necessary to bring under their notice, for their efforts to carry into effect my suggestions regarding the working of both the Tung Wah Hospital itself and the Branch Hospital.

　　　　Especially I would direct the attention of His Excellency the Governor to the work of Mr. FUNG WA CHUN whose influence has had much to do with the fact that the relations between the Government, the Tung Wah Directors, and the Chinese community during a very trying year have been so uniformly harmonious.

I append the following Tables :--

GOVERNMENT LUNATIC ASYLUM,

HONGKONG, 1st January, 1899.

SIR,I have the honour to submit a report on the Government Lunatic Asylum during the year 1898 with two tables showing the admissions and deaths that have occurred and the discases for which the patients were admitted.

Eighty-two patients were admitted during the year, of which number 6 died, 37 were sent to Canton, and 36 were discharged in the care of friends or relatives either cured or partially relieved.

Europeans.-Two deaths occurred amongst these patients, one from cerebral softening in the person of an old man aged 63 and the other from Meningitis. The European admitted in April is a German suffering from General Paralysis of the Insane. It has been found impossible to compel his Consul to remove him to his native place, and he is still in the Asylum-the only male European-and likely to last another 6 months. The female lunatic is the well known American whom it has also been found impossible to get rid of.

It is worthy of note that the only two remaining on hand in this Asylum are both foreigners, six of whom have been admitted to the Asylum during the year, as against two Britishers. No female Europeans have been in the Asylum during the past year.

　　　　　Chinese.--The majority of these were as usual "harmless lunatics" including a case in which the dementia appears to have been a sequelae of plague. Only one authentic case of puerperal mania was admitted, but the history of the illnesses antecedent to the mental trouble is very difficult to obtain in the case of these patients.

Wardmasters LEE and SYDNEY have both been on duty throughout the year and have both work- ed well and satisfactorily.

Miss EASTMOND returned from home and resumed duty on the 14th April up to 23rd July when she left the Government Service and was succeeded by the Matron, Miss C. MCINTOSH.

I have the honour to be,

THE PRINCIPAL CIVIL MEDICAL OFFICER.

4. There were no cases of Datura poisoning during the past year.

5. Some powder thrown into the eyes of a boy with intent to rob was found to be pepper.

WATERS.

　　　6. The results of the analyses of samples taken each month from the Pokfulum and Tytam Reservoirs, and from the Kowloon Service, indicate that these supplies continue to maintain their excellent qualities. The quality of the water from Pokfulum Reservoir is in no way inferior to that supplied from Tytam or by the Kowloon Service. The analyses of the Pokfulum supply show that the quality of this water is as high as when water was first collected there. In an Appendix will be found particulars of the monthly analyses of the public supplies and also the results of the examination of 16 well waters.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

7. The Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1873 and 1892.-Of petroleum 103 samples were examined and were found to give off inflammable vapour at temperatures considerably above the 73° F. limit. Three other samples of petroleum were examined as to purity and for use as fuel.

8. Morphine Ordinance.--There were four prosecutions under this Ordinance and eighteen exhibits were forwarded for examination, of which fourteen contained Morphine Hydrochloride. 9. The Food and Drugs Ordinance, 18 of 1896.-Sixty-three samples were examined. The following table shows the results :-

Water was the adulterant present in the condemned samples.

10. Chinese Fireworks.-A number of experiments were made to ascertain the degree of inflam-. mability of the Chinese fireworks that are so largely used in this Colony especially at the Chinese New Year Festival. The kinds mainly used are

1. Pou-chang.--A firework about six feet in length containing 5,000 crackers. Weight

about seven pounds.

2. Ng-loong-to-chu --A ?mall firework which vomits squibs.

3. For-chin.-A squib which rises in the air about 40 feet carrying a piece of wood.

4. Fa-tung.--Coloured fire and crackers.

5. Kim-chin-po-ap-Duck with a squib of yellow fire issuing from its base.

6. Ngou-nu-oi.-Coloured fire above a cylinder of crackers.

7. Kim-chiu-pou.--Missiles which explode when thrown on a hard surface.

8. Kum-pun-hi-yut.--Fish with a squib of yellow fire at its base.

9. Ye-ming-chi.-Squib.

10. Fa-tung.--Coloured fire only.

11. Tiu-lan-fa.-Burns dropping sulphur which explodes on touching water.

12. Kim-pun-hi-yut.--Iguited on a plate whirls a height of 40 to 60 feet.

13. Fa-tung.-Small coloured fire and crackers.

The fuse in all descriptions consists of a thin coil of nitrified paper about 1 inch in diameter, the interior of which is filled with gunpowder. The gunpowder is native made, in moderately fine powder, and contains the same ingredients as the European make.

To ignite a firework the incandescent end of a smouldering joss-stick is placed on the fuse and ignition is affected after about one second. Experiment showed that Chinese fireworks take fire when a spark is applied quite as readily as the best English manufactured fireworks.

The Chinese, however, being from an early age accustomed to their use, are well acquainted with their inflammable properties, and accidents seldom occur. It is customary amongst all classes of Chinese to receive presents of fireworks on certain occasions. Thus it is but an ordinary occurrence for a coolie about to marry to have in his possession three large crackers, weighing altogether 21 pounds, and 10 pounds of other fireworks.

11. For the purpose of the Alcoholic Liquors Commission an investigation was made of the Chinese liquors known as "samshu."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"samshu." Samshu is a name which is derived from the Chinese word "Sam Shiu," or thrice burnt. The term samshu refers to that variety of Chinese liquor known as Sam Ching Chau, but as now used it covers the three spirits known as Leu Pun Chau, Sheung Ching Chau, and Sam Ching Chau, all of which are obtained from rice. Moreover, the name samshu is frequently loosely applied so as to include any spirit of Chinese production, such as beverages in which either Leu Pun Chau, Sheung Ching Chau, or Sam Ching Chau forms a part, and also to the liquor known as Fa Chau-a spirit obtained from molasses, and to the beverages prepared from Fa Chau.

There are three well-known varieties of samshu :-

1. Leu Pun Chau.

2. Sheung Ching Chau, or twice distilled liquor. 3. Sam Ching Chau, or thrice distilled liquor.

1226

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1899.

　　　　To make Leu Pun Chau, a mixture of rice and water is placed in an iron pan heated direct by means of a wood fire. After boiling, the softened rice is put into pots, into which the fermenting substance--Chau Pang-is placed.

Chau Pang is a substance composed of rice, bean flour, red earth, and leaves which are stated to be cassia leaves.

After fermenting the liquid is distilled from a pot-still.

Sheung Ching Chau and Sam Ching Chau are varieties of Leu Pun Chau and contain more alcohol. A number of wines are prepared from Leu Pun Chau, some for use as beverages and others for medicinal purposes.

　　　　Visits were paid to all the Chinese distilleries to observe the processes employed and the materials used. A full report upon this subject is recorded in the evidence of the Alcoholic Liquors Commission and in the Pharmaceutical Journal, October 29, 1898.

　　　　The amount of samshu distilled in Hongkong in 1897 was 1,979,831 catties (1 catty14 English pound Avoir.).

COMPOSITION OF SAMSHU.

}

　　　　The following table shows the nature of samshu. The ethers and higher alcohols were determined by the method as used by BELL in his investigations for the Select Cominittee on British and Foreign Spirits, 1891, as described in Appendix No. 4 of their report :-

1229

REPORT ON THE PREVALENCE OF PLAGUE IN THE COLONY OF HONGKONG

DURING THE YEARS 1897 AND 1898.

INTRODUCTORY.

　　　　This is a continuation of my report of the history of this disease in Hongkong in 1895 and 1896 and is a brief record of the subsequent progress of the disease.

PREVALENCE OF PLAGUE IN HONGKONG, 1897.

　　　　The first three cases were reported on the 21st, 23rd, and 25th May from Heung Lane, no cases having been reported since the previous November.

This is one of the ill-ventilated narrow lanes off Queen's Road West; it was declared an infected area on May 26th and promptly dealt with. From this very lane eight cases were taken in June, 1895. The recrudescence of the disease in houses previously infected shows how tenaciously the bacillus clings to dwellings; it may be that the process of disinfection used, viz., fumigation with Sulphurous Acid Gas, the washing of the floors, woodwork, &c., with Jeyes' Fluid and the lime-washing of the ceilings and walls, is partly accountable for this.

1898.

A similar coincidence, viz., the recurrence of plague in houses previously infected has occurred in

　　　　At the instigation of the Medical Officer of Health a new system of disinfection has been estab- lished, viz., spraying the walls, floors, &c., with a solution of l'erchloride of Mercury of the strength 1 in 1,000.

Appendix D.

Report on Plagie work at Kowloon by Mr. Frank Browne, (Acting Government Analyst).

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 22nd June, 1898.

　　　　SIR, I have the honour to report for the information of the Board that the cleansing work in British Kowloon, for which I was appointed in April last by His Excellency the Acting Governor on the recommendation of the Board, is now concluded.

　　　　2. A great deal of cleansing was done particularly in Yaumati. The following table shows the extent of the cleansing carried out at the expense of the Government :-

No. 11 District (Hunghom and Villages).'

No. 12 District (Yaumati, &c.).

Floors washed only,

Cleansed and lime-washed (floors),...202

528

Obstructions removed,

* Coolies employed-one day each,.496

875

　　　　Where washing only was required in houses, the inmates usually carried out the work of their own accord, which fact will explain the small amount of washing only, that was done by the Govern- ment. Although an opportunity was afforded to the tenants to do the lime-washing required, very few availed themselves of it on account of the expense.

　　　　3. The obstructions removed consisted of bunks, cocklofts, cubicles, doors, josses, and latrines, which had been erected in such a way as to deprive the rooms of light and air. A great improvement has been effected in most houses by these removals as the removal of a single obstruction has in many cases converted a dark ill-ventilated room into a healthy and cheerful habitation. However, experience has shown that these obstructions are put up again as soon as vigilance is relaxed, so it is earnestly hoped that special attention will be directed so that such structures may be at once demolished if

re-erected.

No. 11 District-(Hunghom and Villages).

　　　　4. Cleansing in this district was commenced on April 20th, and completed on May 23rd. The houses here are for the most part very good and substantial, but in the event of another epidemic attention should be particularly directed to Shung On Lane and Dock Lane, in which the houses are inferior. Several cases of plague having been traced from Shung On Lane, on May 7th the whole of Hunghom was disinfected with a mixture of salt, manganese di-oxide, and sulphuric acid. It was considered advisable to disinfect the whole of the place as a number of dead bodies had been found on the hill-side, and it was impossible to find out which houses were infected and which were not, so the safest plan was adopted of disinfecting them all.

　　　　No case of plague could be found to have occurred in the houses of Hunghom after the disinfec tion although several bodies (see table of cases of plague attached) were afterwards found on the hill- side, but the number of these bodies being only 11 from May 7th to June 13th, a further disinfection on a wholesale scale was not considered necessary.

No. 12 District-(Yaumati, Tai Kok Tsui, Mong Kok Tsui, &c.).

　　　　5. Cleansing operations were commenced on April 20th, and the work was completed on June 2nd. A number of cases of plague having occurred at Tai Kok Tsui a visit was paid to this village on April 24th, when it was seen that a large proportion of the inhabitants were living in insanitary dwelling-huts, boats, and hovels. On April 26th the whole of the district was disinfected with salt, manganese di-oxide, and sulphuric acid. The people in the huts, boats, and hovels were for the most part trespassers on Crown land; they were not agriculturists but apparently merely loafers of no use to the Colony. In an industrial centre like Tai Kok Tsui, such dirty and insanitary hovels are particularly objectionable; fortunately, now, many of them have been destroyed. Since the disinfection on April 26th no further cases of plague have occurred in the houses at Tai Kok Tsui, but several cases have been found in the hovels and on the foreshore. The majority of the houses in Tai Kok Tsui are well constructed and with the hovels removed there should be little fear of plague another year.

　　　　6. It was early seen in Yaumati from the number of deserted floors that a number of bodies had been carried out from the houses and placed in the street or in other open places. The whole place was therefore disinfected as in Tai Kok Tsui, on May 7th, and the number of dead bodies found in the street, subsequent to this disinfection, being considerable, chloride of lime was placed on every floor at Yaumati on May 17th.

* Exclusive of lime-washers who were paid by picce-work.

　　　　　7. It was not at all surprising to find so many dirty houses in Yaumati, considering that with the present arrangement of the kitchen it is absolutely impossible to prevent smoke from penetrating the living rooms. There are but few houses in Yaumati that have proper arrangements for carrying away smoke. In many houses the smoke is continually present in such quantities as to be extremely irritating to the eyes and nostrils of an European. Can people living in such houses be expected to keep either their houses or themselves clean? But, worst of all, in order to keep the smoke out of the living rooms, the inmates block up the window between the kitchen and the living room so that a through current of air is shut off from that direction. This smoke nuisance can easily be abated as suitable clay fire-places can be easily and cheaply put in.

8. Many dark houses would be greatly improved by letting a small square of glass into the roof. Dark houses were nearly always dirty.

　　　　　9. Houses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Fourth Lane are in a dirty and insanitary condition; they are little better than hovels. They have been disinfected three times; some boats on the foreshore above high water mark at Yaumati should be removed.

　　　　　10. The houses in Fuk Sing Lane will require a lot of attention as a number of cases of plague have occurred there. The drains in several of these houses have had to be unblocked several times probably they need repair.

　　　　　11. On May 31st all the sampans in the district were examined. The boats were very clean for Chinese sampans. No sick people were found except two children just recovering from small-pox.

Disinfection and Disinfectants.

　　　　　12. A large nuinber of houses have been disinfected with chlorine. The process employed for disinfecting simultaneously a large number of houses without removal of the inmates was to place in each room on each floor two ounces of a mixture of one part of salt, and one part of manganese di- oxide. On this mixture was poured six ounces of dilute sulphuric acid (1 in 4). This gave off slowly but continuously for about 12 hours a stream of chlorine, which did not greatly interfere with the inmates, who were told to open all their doors and windows if the action of the chlorine became too suffocating. Throughout Kowloon the Chinese gladly receive this disinfectant, and, speaking generally, we found that they were ready to obey any directions in order to be protected from plague, provided that such direction did not mean that they were put to any expense.

13. For disinfection of closed houses in which plague had occurred the following process was employed:-

　　　　　Close the doors, windows, and all apertures as completely as possible; [a carpenter is required for this]. Then place half a pound of chlorinated lime in a pot and well mix with a quart of water, place in the centre of the floor and pour on a quart of diluted sulphuric acid (1 in 5). Where the floors are large two pots to each should be used. Commence to disinfect on the top floor.

The following quantities of substances for disinfection have been used :-

3 cwt. manganese di-oxide.

3 cwt. salt.

800 pounds of sulphuric acid.

3,000 pounds of chlorinated acid.

House to house Visitation.

14. This was carried out by Sergeant CAMERON and P. C. CORMACK after the cleansing of the whole district of Kowloon was completed on June 2nd. All the Chinese houses in British Kowloon were visited. The visitation was considered by me to be unnecessary after June 18th.

Conclusion.

15. C. P. O. LOVELL was in charge of a cleansing party from April 20th to May 13th when his place was taken by P. C. CORMACK who returned to his ordinary duties on June 19th. Sergeant CAMERON was in charge of a cleansing party from April 20th to June 18th, after which he turned to his ordinary duties.

C. P. O. LOVELL, P. C. CORMACK and Sergeant CAMERON carried out extremely satisfactorily the work entrusted to them.

16. Herewith is attached a return showing that in No. 11 district 26 cases of plague were removed from March 16th to June 13th, and that in No. 12 district during the same period 149 cases of plague were removed.

I would again respectfully suggest that the salaries of these officers should be increased. The pay of clerk and interpreter is the same now as it was in 1888. C.S.O. 185.

　　　　13. New Territories.-I would draw attention to the positions of Kowloon City, Kowloon Tong, and Chinese Sham Shui Po, which are now merged into the original British Kowloon Peninsula, and would suggest that the whole of these should be treated, for Rating purposes, in the same manner as the other villages in the peninsula. In the case of Chinese Sham Shui Po, which was formerly sepa- rated from British Sham Shui Po or Fuk Tsun Heung by a bamboo fence, now removed, houses in Fuk Tsun Heung are charged rates, whereas those on the Sham Shui Po side of the boundary are free. I have ascertained from the Land Office that there are between 250 and 300 owners of property in Chinese Sham Shui Po.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

notice enter and demand to see and interrogate any or all the inmates of any place on land or water which he may have reason to believe is used as a lodging-house for prostitutes or disorderly persons or as a brothel, or in con- nection with which he may have reason to believe that an offence has been committed under this Ordinance.

7.-(1.) Every male person who--

(a.) Knowingly lives wholly or in part on the pro-

ceeds of prostitution; or

(b.) In any public place persistently solicits or im-

portunes for immoral purposes;

shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for any term not exceeding three months with or without hard labour.

(2.) If it be made to appear to a Magistrate by infor- mation on cath that there is reason to suspect that any house or any part of a house is used by a female for the purposes of prostitution and that any male person residing in or frequenting the house is living wholly or in part on the earnings of such prostitute the Magistrate may issue a warrant authorising any Police Officer or Constable to enter and search the house and to arrest that male person.

(3.) When a male person is proved to live with or to be in company of a prostitute and has no visible means of subsistence he shall, unless he can satisfy the Court to the contrary, be deemed to be knowingly living on the earnings of prostitution.

(4.) Any person, not being a natural-born or naturalized British subject, who is convicted of an offence under this section, may be banished from the Colony by an Order of the Governor-in-Council made under any Banishment laws which may from time to time be in force in this Colony.

8. Section 30 of Ordinance 9 of 1897 is hereby amended so as to read as follows:-

30.-(1.) The Registrar General and any officer generally authorized for that purpose in writing by the Registrar General shall have power without warrant to search any ship, boat, house, building, or other place where he has reasonable cause to sus- pect that there is any woman or girl who is or may be liable to be dealt with under the provisions of this Ordinance or in which he has reasonable cause to suspect that an offence under this Ordinance is being committed, and may, remove any such woman or girl to a place of safety to be there detained until her case be enquired into.

(2.) The Registrar General shall have power to search any ship, boat, house, building, or other place for the purpose of ascertaining whether there is therein any woman or girl who is or may be liable to be dealt with under the provisions of this Ordinance, or whether any offence under this Ordinance is being committed and may remove any such woman or girl to a place of safety to be there detained until her case be enquired into.

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill is passed to amend "The Protection of Women and Girls Ordinance, 1897," in several particulars which have been called to the attention of the Colonial Govern- ment by the Secretary of State.

Clause 1 provides for this Bill being read with Ordi- nance 9 of 1897.

Clause 2 deals with interpretation.

Clause 3 imposes a penalty upon the occupier or keeper of any brothel who permits a woman suffering from a contagious disease to remain in a brothel for the purpose of prostitution. This clause will, it is hoped, tend to pro- mote the proper medical treatment of prostitutes when suffering from disease.

Under clanse 4 of this Bill, unlike section 4 of Ordi- nance 6 of 1894, it is not necessary to prove to the Magistrate that the brothel is a nuisance to the neighbour- hood.

Clause 5 imposes a penalty upon the owner of any premises, which are found to be again in use as a brothel, after having been closed under clause 4.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH AUGUST, 1899. 1273

Clause 6 gives to the Police and to the Registrar Gene- ral's officers extended powers of visitation and search and interrogation for the purposes of this Ordinance.

Clause 7 reproduces the provisions of "The English Vagrant Act, 1898," with an added power of banishment. The class of persons to be dealt with under this clause is said to be on the increase in this Colony.

Clause 8 is passed under instructions from the Secretary of State for the amendment of section 30 of Ordinance 9 of 1897.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance for the prevention of the conceal-

ment of Opium on board steamships.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Concealment of Short title. Opium Ordinance, 1899.

2. The expression "steamship" as used in this Ordinance Interpreta- shall mean any vessel propelled by steam.

tion.

3. Any person who shall couceal or secretly place any Penalty for raw or prepared opium in any part of any steamship shall concealing be liable upon summary conviction before a Magistrate to opium on the payment of a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars steamship. and in default of payment of such fine to imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months with or without hard labour, and any opium concealed or secretly placed as afore- said shall be seized and the Magistrate may, whether any person is charged with or convicted of any offence under this Ordinance or not, order such opium to be forfeited.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to impose a penalty upon any person found concealing opium on board of any ship.

This Ordinance has been brought forward in consequence of representations made by the Chamber of Commerce to the effect that persons have sometimes concealed opium on board of ships bound for Saigon, and that such concealment has led to very heavy fines being inflicted upon the ship on her arrival in Saigon, upon such opium being pointed out by informers there who most probably have been in communication with the actual concealers of the opium.

In the matter of the Arms Consolidation Ordinance, 1895,

and

In the matter of a proposed Ordinance to amend the Arms

Consolidation Ordinance, 1895.

His Excellency Sir HENRY BLAKE, G.C.M.G.,

Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and Vice-Admiral of the same,

And to the Legislative Council of the said Colony.

Respectfully Sheweth :-

The Humble Petition of The Tung Tak firm of No. 191 Queen's Road Central, The Yow Foo firm of No. 356 Queen's Road Central, The Chee Yan firm of No. 230 Queen's Road Central, The Fook Lung firm of No. 14 Fat Hing Street, The Tak Lung firm of No. 322 Queen's Road Central, The Wing Tack firm of No. 16 Queen's Road West, The Luen Wo firm of No. 12 Queen's Road West, The Cheung Tai firm of No. 140 Praya West, The Tung Sing firm of No. 54 Queen's Road West, and the Kwong Tak Cheong firm of No. 215 Queen's Road West, all of Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, Arms Dealers.

1. That your Petitioners are dealers in arms as defined by section 3 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1895 carrying on business in the Colony of Hongkong at the respective addresses above mentioned.

2. That at the present time there are eleven Chinese firms licensed under the said Ordinance No. 8 of 1895 at Victoria aforesaid carrying on the said business of dealers in arms of whom your Petitioners are ten, the remaining firm being the Yow Cheong firm of No. 206 Queen's Road Central, Victoria aforesaid.

3. That at the present time your Petitioners, in accordance with the provisions of section 10 of the said Ordinance No. 8 of 1895, pay to the Government of this Colony an annual fee of $10 in respect of the licence to deal in arms granted to them under section 10 of the said Ordinance No. 8 of 1895.

4. That your petitioners are informed that a Bill entitled "An Ordinance to amend the Arms Consolidation Ordinance, 1895," has been recently introduced into the Legislative Council of this Colony and was read a first time by the said Council on the 20th June, 1899, whereby it is proposed to enact (inter alia) that [section 3] section 10 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1895 shall be thereby repealed and in lieu thereof the following section substituted :-

"Every importer of or dealer in arms shall take out a licence annually and shall register his name and place of business for the time being, and any godown, warehouse or other place in which he stores or intends to store arms, at the Office of the Captain Superintendent of Police. Any importer of or dealer in arms not taking out such licence as aforesaid or not register- ing as aforesaid shall be liable, on summary conviction. to a fine not exceed- ing two thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months. From and after the commencement of this Ordinance the fee payable for such licence as aforesaid shall be $1,200 per annum payable in advance, but no person, who at the date of the commencement of this

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH AUGUST, 1899.

1275

Ordinance possesses a valid and unexpired licence for importing or dealing in arms, need take out a new licence under this Ordinance until the expira- tion of his current licence."

5. That the "Objects and Reasons" annexed to the said Bill as printed and published in The Hongkong Government Gazette of the 24th June, 1899, contain (inter alia) the following statement only with regard to the proposed annual licence fee of $1,200 per annum, viz. :-

"(3.) To raise the annual licence fee from the sum of $10 to $1,200."

6. That your petitioners respectfully beg to protest against the imposition of such pro- posed annual fee of $1,200 on the grounds that it is excessive and prohibitive and that no sufficient reasons for the imposition thereof are given in the said Objects and Reasons" and more particularly on the grounds and for the reasons

hereinafter set forth.

7. That in this Colony the business of dealers in arms is, as compared with other forms of business carried on therein, extraordinarily hampered and curtailed primarily through the provisions of the said Ordinance No. 8 of 1895 which so fetters and confines the said business as to deprive it of that freedom which is usually enjoyed by other forms of business in this Colony and which your Peti- tioners submit it is the policy of the British Empire to ensure to its subjects.

8. That one of the practical results of the provisions of section 6 of the said Ordinauce No. 8 of 1895 is to debar your Petitioners from retailing any of their stock-in- trade within this Colony or its Dependencies owing to the fact that all purchasers must possess a valid licence to carry or possess arms as more particularly stated in the said section and in consequence almost the sole form of business open to your Petitioners consists in the export trade in connection therewith.

9. That such export trade is almost wholly confined to the Portuguese Colony of Macao and to the City of Canton, in the Empire of China, and is in itself rendered difficult and troublesome owing to the provisions of the said Ordinance No. 8 of 1895 and more particularly of section 6 thereof which requires that a permit from the Captain Superintendent of Police must be obtained by the exporter in respect of each and every shipment made by him and particulars of such shipment given before such permit can be obtained, and in addition that in such cases as relate to shipments to places within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China a further permit must first be obtained from the proper official at such place before the shipment can be made.

10. That as a result of the general restrictions put upon the said business the volume thereof is unreasonably curtailed and reduced and the profits derived by your Petitioners therefrom are precarious and small, and in the event of the imposition of such licence fee of $1,200 as aforesaid none of your Petitioners would be in a position to pay the same and they would be driven to close their respective businesses in this Colony.

11. That should such licence fee be imposed it is the present intention of your Peti- tioners to remove their respective businesses to the said colony of Macao there to pursue the same.

12. That your Petitioners respectfully beg to lay before you the conditions under which similiar businesses to their own can be carried on in the said colony of Macao, where the licence to dealers in arms amounts to $2.50 per annum, where there are no regulations or restrictions such as are in existence in this Colony, where the retail business is unfettered (there being no farm or monopoly in respect of the dealing in arms), and where no permits save the said licence are required. 13. That owing to the conditions under which similar businesses can be carried on in the said colony of Macao and the consequent favourable terms upon which such businesses are enabled to compete with your Petitioners, they are unable to charge such prices for their goods as would enable them to make a fair and reasonable profit in their said businesses and so place them in a position to meet such licence fee of $1,200 as aforesaid if imposed.

14. That the result of the closing of your Petitioners' said businesses in this Colony consequent upon the imposition of such licence fee of $1,200 as aforesaid would be to put a practical stop to the business of dealing in arms in this Colony and would lead to the transfer to the said colony of Macao of the trade which this Colony enjoys in connection therewith.

1276

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH AUGUST, 1899.

15. And, lastly, that your Petitioners have large stocks ordered from Europe and partly in course of transit to this Colony and have further entered into contracts for the sale thereof or of a part thereof; and that heavy losses would result to your Petitioners in connection with the foregoing in the event of the closing of their said businesses which would be occasioned by the imposition of such licence fee of $1,200 as aforesaid.

Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray Your Excellency that the existing annual licence fee for dealers in arms as provided by section 10 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1895 be not increased and that the proposed fee of $1,200 be not imposed; and further that Your Excel-

lency may be pleased to take such other action in the premises as to Your Excellency may seem fit. And your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray, &c.

Dated this 8th day of July, 1899.

Stewart Lockhart on the Kowloon Extension to the Colony, will the Government state what is the source of the information referred to in paragraph 1 under head of Revenue, page 13 of the Blue Book, stating:--" But from information derived from another source it is estimated that the annual revenue of that portion of the Sun On District contained within the leased area amounts to $160,000, or, say, ￡16,000," this being an increase of more than a lakh of dollars on the estimate given by the Sun On District Magistrate for the territory in question?

The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:---

I may add

The Government is not aware of the source from which the information was derived. I that the information having been given privately and confidentially to the writer of the Report on the Extension of the Colony of Hongkong he is not at liberty to state its source.

　　　NOTICE OF QUESTION.-Mr. WHITEHEAD gave notice that at the next meeting of Council he would ask the following question :-

Will the Government inform the Council of the reasons why the proposal to expend a substantial amount of public money for repairs and alterations to " Beaconsfield" was not submitted to the Public Works Committee for their consideration and report, under what authority has the said sum of $19,076.70 been disbursed, and why have not the new public works undertaken since middle of last year been referred to the Public Works Committee for consideration and report to the Council before same were commenced?

(Governor to Secretary of State.)

SIR,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 17th March, 1899.

I have the honour to inform you that Mr. WONG TS'UN-SHIN, who was deputed by the Viceroy of Canton to assist in the delimitation of the northern boundary of the Kowloon extension, arrived on the 10th instant, and on the 11th had an inter- view with Mr. STEWART LOCKHART. He returned to Canton on the 12th instant to consult the Viceroy and came back on the 14th instant when he again met Mr. STEWART LOCKHART with a proposal that the Sham Chun river should form the boundary. This was the extreme limit to which he was permitted to go.

2. He came here with Mr. STEWART LOCKHART and we discussed the matter for over two hours. I endeavoured to show him that it would be to the mutual advantage of China and this Government to have Sham Chun and Shat'aukok included in the leased territory, and pointed out to him that, if they were, they would still be open for the Chinese to as great an extent as at present, while if they are not ceded they will be closed to the Chinese inhabitants of this Colony who have been in the habit of resorting to them; but it was clear that he had orders not to grant them. I then thought it well to have the river boundary for- mally agreed to as a provisional measure, leaving our pressing demand for the boundary of the base of the hills to the North open for further consideration at Peking. I wrote an agreement* which was signed by the Chinese Commissioner and Mr. STEWART LOCKHART. I have explained the situation fully to Sir CLAUDE MACDONALD and sent him a copy of the map of which I enclose a copy, being the only good survey of the boundary district that has yet been made.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The provi- sional boundary is marked in red, the proposed boundary in blue. I have no doubt that it would be a great convenience to this Colony to have the two towns named included. But pending the further negotiations on the point the fixing of the boundary to the river will enable me to take over the territory which I shall do as soon as the necessary preparations are complete for having a police force and a magistrate there. I shall inform you by telegraph when I can fix the date.

3. I hear conflicting accounts of the feeling of the people. The inhabitants on the Deep Bay side do not bear a very good reputation, and it will be necessary to have a fair show of force when hoisting the flag.

4. I assume that all the public buildings belonging to the Chinese Government are to be handed over to this Government, and that all Chinese officials are to be removed from the leased territory and their powers and duties are to cease and determine from the moment that the flag is hoisted.

5. I enclose for your information copy of a letter? addressed to me by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART and of its enclosures relative to the progress of his negotin- tions with the delimitation Commissioner appointed by the Chinese Government.

SIR,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the instrument sigued by Your Excellency dated the 11th instant, appointing me, under instructions from the Secretary of State for the Colonics, the representative of Great Britain for fixing the boundaries of the extension of the Colony of Hongkong.

2. Acting under that instrument I have held two interviews with the Com· missioner appointed by the Government of China for the delimitation of the frontier of the extension of the Colony of Hongkong.

　　　3. I am glad to be able to state that after considerable difficulty I have. induced the Commissioner for China to agree to the North bank of the Sham Chun river to its squrce as the boundary between British and Chinese territory. It is gratifying to me to have succeeded in securing in the new extension complete control of that river, which on the map attached to the Convention is not in- cluded within the territory leased to Great Britain. It is scarcely necessary to point out that without such complete control the development of the territory would have been rendered very difficult.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1349

4. In my report to the Colonial Office of the 8th October last, I strongly recommended that the town of Sham Chun should be included in the leased territory, and I stated at some length the reasons for my recommendation. I enclose a copy of that portion of my report dealing with this matter. Nothing has occurred since that report was written to modify in any way my views on this subject, and I trust that in the interests of Great Britain the British Minister at Peking will be able by diplomatic representations to secure that not only the town of Sham Chun but also the town of Shat'aukok will be included within the British boundary.

5. I am about to proceed to-day to delimit with the Chinese Commissioner the boundary agreed upon between us, which is described in the Agreement signed before Your Excellency at Government House on the 14th instant, a copy of which is enclosed. I will in due course report the result of our mission. I have the honour to be,

Commissioners appointed by British and Chinese Governments have agreed that the Northern boundary of the New Territory shall include the River. The ques- tion of including Sham Chun and the valley was reserved for reference to Peking. Public opinion here strongly opposes non-removal of Imperial Customs Stations. I hoped to assume jurisdiction in New Territory early in April, but in deference to the request of the Chinese Government, conveyed through Her Majesty's Minister at Peking, I have agreed to take no action till April 15th.

I have the honour to report that, accompanied by Mr. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works, I left for Mirs Bay on Thursday last, the 16th, to delimit the boundary of the new territory leased to Great Britain by China.

2. I was met on the morning of the 17th instant at Starling Inlet by the Officer deputed by the Chinese Government to carry out the work of delimitation on behalf of China.

On the 19th instant, I met the Officer deputed by the Chinese Government and we both signed the enclosed memorandum which clearly defines the boundaries of the new territory.

4. I attach a sketch map* on which the boundary defined in the memorandum. referred to above is indicated. This map has been prepared by Mr. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works, who has been of great assistance to me in settling a satisfactory boundary.

(Referred to in Mr. Stewart Lockhart's Letter of the 20th March, 1899.)

peg

The Northern Boundary commences at the point of high water-mark in Mirs Bay where the meridian of 114°.30 East cuts the land and follows that high water-mark to the point marked with a peg immediately to the West of the market town locally known as Tung Wo Hi and sometimes called Shat'aukok. It then proceeds straight inland for a short distance till it meets a narrow path between fields on the right and a tidal flat on the left. A peg was driven in to the East of the path, and it was agreed that the whole of the path is within British territory but inay be used by the inhabitants of both countries. The line follows this path until it reaches a corner of the market town of Tung Wo Hu where another was driven in and then proceeds until it comes to the bed of a wide stream which is at present dry. It was agreed that the boundary should follow the centre of this river bed. The land to the right of the river, that is, the land on the left bank being within Chinese territory; the land to the left of the river, that is, the land on the right bank being within British territory. This line along the middle of the river's bed continues until a road leading to the village Kang Hau is reached. A peg was driven in at the point where the boundary line leaves the river and fol- lows this road. It was agreed that the whole of the road is within British terri- tory but may be used by the inhabitants of both countries. This road leads up a steep ravine crossing and re-crossing the stream. It was agreed that the waters of this stream whether within the British or the Chinese boundary should be avail- able for the inhabitants of both countries. This road passes through a gap about 500 feet above sea level forming the dividing ridge between the Shat ankok and Sham Chun valleys. The boundary was marked at this point with a peg.

It was agreed that the road from this gap should be the boundary and is within British territory but may be used by the inhabitants of both countries. This road passes

down the right-hand side of the ravine and has a stream on the left running to Kang To At the foot of the ravine this road crosses a larger stream coming from the direction of Ng Tung Shan and re-crosses it within a distance of 100 yards. This road passes Kang To village on the right and reaches the Sham Chun river at a distance of about a quarter of a mile below Kang To. It was agreed that up to this point this road is within British territory but may be used by the inhabit- ants of both countries. It was also agreed that the waters of the stream running from Ng Tung Shan referred to above should be available for cultivators of land in both territories. A peg was driven in to mark the point where this road as a boundary ended. The boundary then follows the right or northern bank of the river generally known as the Sham Chun river down to Deep Bay, all the river and the land to the south being within British territory. The Western, Eastern, and Southern boundaries are as laid down in the Convention, the whole of the Island of Lantao being within British territory.

The waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay are included in the area leased to Great Britain.

I have determined to proceed to Canton to-day to see the Viceroy and induce him to send troops forthwith to secure and punish the ringleaders and to protect the parties sent in to erect the posts.

The Force was accompanied by Mr. LOCKHART. He will warn the villagers of the danger of opposition and leave the Chinese soldiers in charge of the matshed until a sufficient Force has been sent to ensure sufficient protection of the workmen. 300 men were ordered to the district by the Viceroy on the 2nd instant, but they have not yet arrived. I do not apprehend serious trouble, but will not accept responsibility for preventing it until I take over the territory. This should be done on the 17th.

With reference to my despatch No. 82 of the 1st instant, I have the honour" to inform you that on the 2nd instant I proceeded at 5.30 a.m. to Canton in Her Majesty's ship Fame and arrived at 10 o'clock, the Viceroy having informed the Consul that he would receive me at 11 a.m. I was accompanied by Mr. STEWAKT On proceeding from LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary, and the members of my staff. the Consulate to the Viceroy's Yamen, I found that preparations had been made for my reception that. I did not expect. The streets for the two miles or so be-

1354 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26?? AUGUST, 1899.

tween the Consulate and the Yamen had been washed and cleaned, and were lined with troops throughout the entire distance. There were between 1,600 and 1,800 men, armed with muzzle loaders and rifles of various patterns, in addition to which a large proportion carried revolvers. I noticed that all the arms were quite clean and apparently well kept. The streets were decorated with flags on long poles and there were dense crowds who were perfectly respectful. I was received by the Viceroy with the usual ceremonies and at once entered upon the business of my visit, Mr. PITZIPIOS, the Vice-Consul, interpreting most admirably.

After some preliminary observations he remarked that the friendship between England and China had been of long standing; on which I assured him that England was China's best friend, and it was with the most friendly feelings that I had done myself the honour of visiting him to request his immediate attention to certain acts of intimidation and attempts to lead the people of the leased territory astray by an inflammatory placard that had been posted in many villages, a copy of which I handed to him with the name of the person who had written it. Knowing the friendly feelings of His Excellency and feeling that he would take immediate action, I had determined to bring the matter personally to his notice rather than telegraph to London and Peking that disorder was threatened in his Province. I therefore requested that the writer of the placard should be made answerable and punished.

He answered that he could not possibly find the person who wrote the placard. To this I demurred. He said I did not know China or I would realize the difficulty. I answered that I knew China sufficiently to know that if His Excellency wanted to find any person in his province that person would be forthcoming. He said the name given might not be the real culprit. Whom did I want punished? I an- swered that I had not come to him to demand the punishment of any person other than the real culprit, but to insure that the territory leased in extension of Hong- kong should not be allowed to become a prey to agitators pending the taking over of the territory by me; that I had postponed the taking over of the territory to the 17th instant for the purpose of having matsheds erected in which to house the officials and police who would be stationed there while proper houses and barracks were being built, and to give him time to arrange the stations for the Customs now that the boundary had been settled. On this His Excellency said that there was no occasion for erection of new Customs stations as the Customs would remain where they were. I answered that such a course was impossible. He said this country is only leased. It is China, and there is nothing about Customs in the Convention. I answered that whether leased, lent, or ceded, as soon as the British flag is hoisted it becomes for the time as effectually British territory as Government House, Hong- kong, and the Chinese Customs flags must be hauled down. I pointed out that all the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay as well as the coast line to the South becoming British under the Convention, it was impossible that the Chinese Customs authorities could act, as even if a vessel were found in these waters with contraband on board she could not be seized for having them in Chinese waters or territory, and if resist- ance were offered to search and life was lost the Customs officers would be put on their trial for murder in the Courts at Hongkong. He demurred at this, declaring in such a case that they would be tried in China; that if the Customs were to be moved the Convention was at an end; that the boundary question was not yet settled as he had not signed the delimitation, and other arguments. I pointed out to His Excellency that the provisional boundary had been settled by two officers regularly accredited and gazetted in Hongkong and Canton and was therefore in accordance with the Convention, and that if timely measures were not taken by him for the protection of that frontier China must suffer serious loss of revenue by smuggling.

　　　His Excellency then said, "It is not in the Convention. I cannot remove them. If you insist on this then all is at an end. The Convention is at an end and there is no boundary."

"Your Excellency is mistaken," I answered. "The Convention has been made by the respective Imperial Government. Neither you nor I can alter that." Is it then agree that the boundary is as delimited?" he asked. I said, "It is." (I had received the telegram from Peking that any further extension had been firmly declined.)

I then called His Excellency's attention categorically to my complaints. I said the people who were erecting the matsheds had been threatened and were obliged to cease working, and that this inflammatory placard handed to him was being extensively posted.

friendly character, but I felt it my duty to call upon him to take without delay the necessary steps, first, to have the placards removed and the person who wrote them brought to justice; second, to supply ample protection for the parties working on matsheds; third, to supply similar protection to parties surveying roads that we proposed to make for the benefit of the people. He said, "I will send a telegram to the San On Magistrate to do what you ask." I said, "I must demand some- thing more definite from Your Excellency. As for the San, On Magistrate I can expect no help from him. I am informed by Mr STEWART LOCKHART, our Com- missioner for delimitation, that he has been only a hindrance and thrown difficul- ties in the way of delimitation on every occasion. I must beg that Your Excel- lency will yourself give the necessary orders, and I must also beg that I be in- formed that they have been obeyed by Tuesday next, otherwise I will proceed to hoist the British flag and take over the territory on Wednesday. At present I do not propose to do so until the 17th instant when the matsheds will be ready for occupation."

His Excellency, having consulted with several Mandarins at the table, said he did not think that all the men could be there before Wednesday. I said that I would not in that case make any move before Thursday, but while I knew how anxious His Excellency was to do everything in his power I was aware that in China orders are not always carried out with necessary promptitude. I would therefore impress upon His Excellency the necessity of my being informed on Wednesday that they had been carried out to prevent my acting on Thursday. I would also request that the San On Magistrate be ordered to personally visit the villages accompanied by other officials and issue a proclamation by order of His Excellency warning the people against disturbances or interference with any work. ing parties or surveyors. This His Excellency promised to do. I said I had a more pleasing duty to perform in assuring His Excellency that the Government of Hongkong had determined to bring in an Ordinance the effect of which, I hoped, would render opium smuggling into China almost impossible, and also that I had issued a proclamation under the provisions of which I had prevented the export of arms to China. His Excellency expressed much pleasure at this information.

The interview, which had lasted over two-and-a-half hours, then ended. His Excellency apologised for being unable to return my visit as I informed him that I was returning to Hongkong forthwith. During the interview the Audience Hall was crowded, the place being apparently open to all-comers. Immediately after my return to the Consulate two mandarins arrived bearing the Viceroy's cards, who said that urgent telegrams had already been sent in accordance with my request. I left Canton at 4.45 p.m. and arrived at Hongkong at 10 p.m.

He was accompanied by five Chinese "braves" sent with him in accord- ance with the promise made by the Viceroy to me that protection would be afforded by the Chinese Authorities to all such buildings and working parties, and had gone to remove the Police as I disapproved of placing our Police in an equivocal posi- tion lest there should be any conflict before the taking over of the extended territory.

I enclose also the report ? furnished by Major-General GASCOIGNE, C.M.G., who himself accompanied the troops, and Mr. MAX, Captain Superintendent of Police. §

　　　4. I have considered in Executive Council the question whether it would be advisable, in consequence of the threatening attitude of the people, to hoist our flag at once, and the majority of the Members agree with me that it is better to wait until the 17th. Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, whose knowledge of the people is great, and who has means of obtaining special information, is of opinion that this attack is part of a general movement against our occupation on the part of the "literati who have hitherto lived by irregular "squeezes" from the people, and of the gam- blers and bad characters banished from Hongkong, and I am disposed to agree with him. But the heaviest punishment that we could inflict, even if we could define the offence of which the people have been guilty, remembering that we have so far no legal standing, would not equal the expense and discomfort of having to sup- port the Chinese soldiers sent into the district to-day by the Viceroy in fulfilment of his undertaking. The probable result will be to welcome our appearance on the 17th instant with the disappearance of the Chinese troops. I know so little of the Chinese character and the possible action of their secret societies, that I find it difficult to judge of the probability of further disturbance, but the readiness with which the villages answered the signals to assemble render a reconsideration of the Police distribution necessary, as for the present it will be expedient to have fewer stations of parties so large that they will be able to repel any attack. It will also be advisable to have for a time a Military detachment in the district which can be arranged as the regiments can do their military training by companies there, and before the season is over we shall be in a better position to judge of the require ments of the extended territory.

I have the honour to be,

　　　The interpreter who was with Mr. MAY has returned with a note saying that he and his party of Sikhs and Chinese were attacked by the villagers of Tai po Hu and that he has retired to the matshed at Tai po Hu which he will hold until morning. I have requested the General to send a Force of 200 men and the Commodore to have steam on two Torpedo Boats as soon as possible.

　　　You will accompany the party and take immediate Civil charge of the expedition. So far as I can gather from the Interpreter who brought the note, there has been no actual attack, only a riot. About 40 to 50 men assembled with

He has sent for the San On Magistrate. You should communicate with the Kowloon Authority and request him to send 200 men forthwith and protect the matshed.

Colonial Secretary's Report of the 5th April, 1899.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

}

HONGKONG, 5th April, 1899.

In pursuance of the instructions from Your Excellency, a copy of which is attached, I started about 2.35 a.m. on the 4th instant from Government House and proceeded with Mr. Ts'or on board a Police pinnace to Kowloon City which was reached about 3.30 a.m.

The Colonel-in-Command there was at once aroused from his slumbers and informed by me of the situation at Tai po Hii (A). At my request he promised to telegraph to the Viceroy at Canton and to send special messengers to the San On Magistrate and to Major FONG, the Officer-in-Command of the 300 Chinese troops, to be despatched to various points in the newly leased territory. I left Kowloon City at 4 a.m. and went on board H.M.S. Whiting at 4.17 a.m. which was waiting in Kowloon Bay in accordance with an arrangement previously made with His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, Major-General GASCOIGNE, C.M.G. As soon as we got on board, the Whiting started for Tai po Hu and I read my instructions to His Excellency the General Officer Commanding.

We passed the Lyemoon Pass at 4.38 a.m. A dense fog came on at 5 a.m. and ten minutes later the Whiting had to stop to take soundings. After soundings had been taken she proceeded at a speed of about 20 knots.

At about 5.30 a.m. she ran against the rocks at Fung Head, south of the entrance of Mirs Bay.

Considering how dense the fog was and the speed at which the Whiting had to proceed, in view of the urgency of her mission, Commander KELLY showed great presence of mind under very difficult circumstances.

The Whiting reached Tolo Harbour at 9 a.m. and anchored at a distance of a little more than 2 miles from the point where the matsheds were situated.

The party had disembarked at 9.45 a.m. and marched at once along the north shore of Tolo Harbour for Tai po Hu which was about 4 miles distant and which was reached at 10.45 a.m.

On seeing our approach many of the villagers took refuge in the hills, but some of the elders of the village and the custodian of the temple in the village were brought to the temple and questioned.*

It was ascertained that the villages of Cha Hang (), Lam Ts'in ★), Un Iu (1), Shin Wan (), Cheung Shu T'an (), Pan Ch'ung (滋漏),Nam Hang (南坑), and Fan Ling(分) had taken part in the opposition offered to Mr. MAY and his party.

The custodian of the temple informed us that Mr. MAY and party returned early in the morning by boat to Sha Tin.

The temple-keeper at first professed ignorance of the whole affair, but when some of the personal effects of the Indian Constables and a sun helmet were found in the temple he became more communicative.

The other elders said they knew nothing of the matter.

* Names not printed.

1358

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT: GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

Having left the elders and the custodian of the temple in the temple under the custody of a guard of soldiers, we made a visit to Pan Ch'ung (), the village adjacent to the spot where the matsheds were erected, but the door of every house in the village was locked from the outside and not a person could be found. Even the female occupants of an isolated house not more than 200 yards away from where one of the matsheds had been burnt said they knew nothing of the affair.

The shed, where the workmen who built the sheds lived and to which Mr. MAY retreated when driven from the temple, had been burnt down and the remains were still smouldering when we arrived.

　　　A post was found near the spot where the matsheds had been burnt down with the characters Chung Fuk Shing Ho () on one side and Chung Fuk Shing Ho Wai () on the other, meaning that the site belongs to Chung Fuk Shing (), which shows that the man claimed the property

as his own.

The elders who had been left in the temple were brought down to the point on the shore where the burnt shed had been erected.

　　　On their arrival His Excellency the General Officer Commanding addressed them stating that soldiers despatched by the Viceroy would arrive shortly and deal with those who had been guilty of attacking Mr. MAY and his party and of burning the matshed, and that His Excellency the Governor would take over the territory on the 17th instant, when any disturbance would be promptly suppressed and the rioters punished.

The elders then retired.

H.M.S. Fame and two torpedo boats arrived after the troops had landed. The party re-embarked on board H.M.S. Whiting and Fame and, having started at 2.20 p.m., reached Hongkong at 4.40 p.m.

ENCLOSURE NO. 3 IN GOVERNOR'S DESPATCH OF THE 7TH APRIL, 1899. (From Major-General W. J. Gascoigne to His Excellency the Governor.)

HONGKONG, 5th April, 1899.

I have the honour to report for Your Excellency's information that about midnight on 3rd and 4th April, 1899, I received a communication from Your Excellency informing me that Mr. MAY, Captain Superintendent of Police, was hemmed in by a crowd of unfriendly natives in the neighbourhood of Tai po Hu and that he required to be at once released. I at once communicated with Lieutenant-Colonel MAINWARING, Commanding 2nd Battalion Royal Welch Fusi- liers, who arrived at Head-Quarter House in a remarkably short time. Subse- quently at about 1.50 a.m., I received from Your Excellency the attached order* to send troops to relieve Mr. MAY. I ordered out 100 men of the Royal Welch to be at Murray Pier in an hour's time to be ready to embark in any craft which could be prepared at so short a notice. At 2 30 a.m. the men were at Murray Pier ready for embarkation with food and ammunition Owing to Your Excellency's forethought I found a number of police launches ready at the Pier, and having, by means of them, ascertained that H.M.S. Whiting was able to accommodate the whole party and that H.M.S. Fame could not be ready till 4.30 a.m., I ordered the troops to embark on H.M.S. Whiting, and H.M.S. Fame to follow later as a des- patch boat. I, with my staff, accompanied the troops on the Whiting. The Colonial Secretary, Honourable Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, inet me on the Pier and informed me that it was Your Excellency's desire that he should first proceed to Kowloon City to confer with the head man there; get an interpreter, and then proceed with me in the Whiting which was to wait for him at Kowloon City. Mr. STEWART LOCKHART accomplished his mission in a remarkably short time and came on board at 4.30 a.m., and we at once started. The night was exceedingly foggy; so thick

* Enclosure No. 1.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1359

that it was a matter of the utmost difficulty to proceed at all. But as speed was of the utmost consequence, our information being that Mr. MAY was in extreme difficulty, Commander KELLY with my entire concurrence made all the speed possible. At about 6 a.m. he had the misfortune to strike a rock, twisting the bow plates, but not otherwise doing any serious damage. I can only say that in this accident no blame whatever in my opinion was attributable to Commander KELLY who had either the alternative of anchoring owing to the darkness (in which case Mr. MAY and his party might have been murdered) or else pro- ceeding to their rescue at a certain amount of risk. Of the two evils the latter was the least, and I venture to emphasize to Your Excellency that, in my opinion, Commander KELLY was not to blame in the least, but on the contrary en- deavoured to carry out the exigencies of the situation in the best possible way. Owing to the dense fog the troops did not arrive till 9 a.m., and there being but two small boats the landing of the whole party was not completed till 9.45 a.m. - There was a distance of nearly 4 miles to be traversed in a very hot sun. An advance guard was formed, and at 10.45 a.m. the column arrived at Tai po Hu City. Mr. STEWART LOCKHART on arrival asked me to halt the column at the Temple and with the aid of the troops but without the least violence some 9 or 10 of the leading inhabitants, shopkeepers, and others, were brought to the temple and there questioned separately as to what had become of Mr. MAY and his party. At first they denied all knowledge of him but gradually on being questioned separately they began to give detailed information with the result that we were satisfied that no positive injury had been inflicted on Mr. MAY's party; that he and all with him had made good their escape; but that the matshed in which he had been was 'burnt to the ground. Satisfied of this, I assembled these men and, having taken their names, I informed them through the interpreter that their own Viceroy would deal with any damage already done with the utmost severity, and that on and after the 17th, when it would become my duty under Your Excellency's orders to take over the District, any disturbance would be promptly quelled. I am satisfied that the prompt arrival of the troops has impressed the inhabitants, and I am convinced that no further trouble will arise in this particular place though I am averse for the present to small isolated unarmed parties proceeding about at their will.

I have to record my high sense of the tact and judgment displayed by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART in eliciting information most unwillingly given; and the interpreter whom he brought with him was simply invaluable owing to his profi- ciency in both English and Chinese and his knowledge of the system of dealing with the natives. Finding that it was unnecessary to remain longer, I ordered the re- embarkation of the troops and returned to Hongkong at about 5.30 p.m.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

I think a Force of 200 men ought to go. The Colonial Secretary will ac- company them.

　　So far as I can learn the villagers did not attack. They, to the number of 40 or 50, assembled with stones. This is only an ordinary riot so far and I am anxious to avoid any bloodshed or interference involving responsibility until I take over the place. I shall therefore instruct the Colonial Secretary to bring back Mr. MAY and his force leaving the Chinese soldiers to guard the matshed, and telegraph to the Viceroy to have two hundred men sent at once for that purpose. It will be time enough for us to act when we have assumed responsi-

SIR

ENCLOSURE No. 4 IN GOVERNOR'S DESPATCH OF THE 7TH APRIL, 1899.

(Report by Captain Superintendent of Police to Governor.)

POLICE OFFICE, 4th April, 1899.

I have the honour to report that yesterday morning I proceeded to Tai po via Kowloon City and Sha Tin where I hired a small junk and sailed to Tai po, with an escort of 4 Sikh policemen, 5 Chinese soldiers from Kowloon City, and a Chinese interpreter. My object was to inspect the matshed under construction at Tai po for the temporary accommodation of Police, to withdraw the Police guard, and exchange it for the Chinese soldiers, 5 more of whom were to follow the next day, and to interview the village elders regarding the site of the matshed.

I arrived at Tai po at 3 p.m. and proceeded to the temple where the elders. hold their meetings, and was met by them there.

The temple, in spite of the endeavours of Police and soldiers to the contrary, soon became filled with a noisy and turbulent crowd, so that it was almost impossible to hear oneself speaking. I gathered from the elders that they objected to the erection of the matshed on the ground that it would spoil the Fung Shui of the neighbourhood.

I pointed out to them that at first the inhabitants of Tai po had not objected at all to the erection of the matshed, and that, in deference to the wishes of the neighbouring village of Pan Chung-the nearest village to the hillock on which the matshed is built,the site of the shed has been changed from that originally selected by me to one which the elders of Pan Ch'ung had themselves approved and marked out in my presence.

One of the elders then said that the hill was his private property-- he being the third party that has now claimed the hill-and I told him, as I have told the other claimants, that if he could produce an official title deed of the hillock the Hongkong Government would purchase the property from him. He remarked that as it had been handed down to him by his ancestors he could not possibly consent.

to sell it.

After some further discussion, which was continually interrupted by the bystanders (some of whom became very offensive in their language and demeanour), the elders asked if I would remove the matshed to another site or not, to which I replied that the site it now stood on having been chosen by the representatives of the village nearest to it and declared free from objection on the ground of I interference with Fung Shui, it would not be reasonable to again change it. added that Government would pay the rightful owner for the property.

Thereupon most of the elders left the temple and I managed to induce most. of the crowd to do the same. Some, however, refused to move, and presently a man from outside rushed in and hurled a brick on the pavement of the temple yard so that it broke into pieces. Then another came in and called on the bystanders to arrest my Chinese interpreter for being a traitor to his country in endeavouring to assist the foreigners in obtaining possession of it. After a little time the people seemed to have become more quiet, and I judged it expedient to try and get away from the village. Myself, the Sikh Police, and the Chinese who were with me stepped out of the temple into the street in a body and proceeded leisurely to the village. Thereupon a man in the crowd struck the interpreter a violent blow with his fist on the back, and another seized him by the queue and endeavoured to drag him from my party.

This a Sikh constable prevented, whereupon a brick was thrown from the crowd which struck him on the head. Bricks were now showered upon us by the crowd from a pile that unfortunately lay in the street, and nearly all of my party were

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1361

struck, one Sikh receiving a severe blow over the eye. We continued to retire slowly and the next moment some of the crowd seized wooden articles among which I noticed a chair, a wooden bucket, and a bamboo broom with which they attacked us. During this time the five Chinese soldiers, who had been standing outside the temple while we were inside, were separated from us by a portion of the crowd, and the use of wooden weapons rendering our position dangerous I ordered the Sikhs to draw their sword bayonets and charge.

This had the effect of driving the crowd back and the soldiers were thus enabled to join us. This they promptly did, and placing themselves between us and the crowd and keeping the latter at bay with the muzzles of their rifles enabled us to retreat to the outside of the village whither the crowd did not follow us.

We re-gained our boat at the landing-place close to the newly erected matshed which is about a quarter of a mile from the village.

From there I sent the Chinese interpreter, the two Chinese District Watchmen, who had been guarding the matshed during erection, and a Chinese detective I had with me back to Hongkong as the crowd seemed to have more animosity against the remainder of the party, and as I wished, if possible, to save the matshed from the destruction which would inevitably overtake it unless it were guarded, I determined to remain by it all night with the 6 Sikh policemen and 5 Chinese soldiers.

I sent a memorandum to His Excellency the Governor at the same time stating briefly what had occurred and what I had decided to do, and asking for

assistance.

The Chinese party left at 4.45 p.m.

When darkness came on I disposed my party for the night on the hill where the matshed is, and I felt sanguine that the villagers would not attack it while my party were there. In this, however, I was disappointed, for, after some slight alarms evidently intended to frighten us, I noticed at 9 p.m. lights being exhibited in each of the five surrounding villages, and lights travelling along roads leading to the rear of our position. Soon afterwards two large bombs were exploded in the centre of the valley, and shortly after that, I could hear parties whistling and signalling to each other, and evidently concentrating on the matshed hill; and the numbers being evidently large, I recognised that it would be folly for me to resist. I asked the Chinese soldiers, however, to try the effect of a few shots from their rifles in the air, but they objected to doing so. Thereupon I withdrew my party to a higher hill adjoining the matshed hill, from which I knew that I could get access to a road by which to retreat to Sha Tin. From this hill I watched the villagers, at a given signal, rush from all sides on to the matshed hill and heard them cry out" They have gone!" I then saw them fire the matshed, and while they were engaged doing so I withdrew my party down the reverse slope of the hill upon which we were and concealed them in a dense thicket of rushes and cactus. After waiting some two hours, I heard parties of villagers passing close to where we were concealed, and after midnight when everything seemed quiet in my neighbourhood I gained the road to Sha Tin and took my party to a safe distance along it and awaited daylight.

‧

I subsequently made my way to Sha Tin by boat, and as I saw no signs of the relieving Force I started for Hongkong at 7 a.m., as the Sikh Police had had nothing to cat for twenty-four hours, and the Chinese soldiers were thoroughly tired out.

What struck me most in the above incident was the evidently organized manner in which members from the surrounding villages concentrated to take part in the attack on the matshed. This is, no doubt, a method of the clans in which the leased territory abounds, adopted both for offence and defence.

It was difficult, owing to the darkness of the night, to estimate the numbers who took part in firing the matshed, but there must have been between 100 and

200 men.

I have the honour to be.

In reply to your telegram of yesterday's date I agree that the three stations mentioned should be occupied by the Customs officials pending further arrange- ments. But the Attorney General advises me that no power can be given them to function in the territories or waters of the Colony; and the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce points out that such functioning would severely check the circulation of local trade within the Colony. Traffic to Deep Bay would be seriously interfered with by any station S.E. of Ling Tin Island or Chek Wan Bay and the same would apply to the trade on the E. side, with reference to a station in that Quarter. The Customs officials were warned of the impending change two months ago.

SIR,

GOVERNMENT House, HONGKONG, 15th April, 1899.

Referring to my despatch No. 88 of the 7th instant, I have the honour to inform you that, up to the 12th instant, everything appeared to proceed quietly in the neighbourhood of Tai po Hi, where the erection of matsheds was being proceeded with presumably under the protection rendered by the Viceroy after his interview with me on the 2nd instant.

2. On the 10th instant, I received an intimation from the Secretary of Legation at Peking that he had, in accordance with instructions received from Her Majesty's Government, informed the Chinese Government that their Customs could not function in the territory or waters of the Colony.

3. On the 11th instant, I received from Her Majesty's Consul at Canton the despatch * addressed to him by the Viceroy, of which, with my reply, ? I enclose a copy. A reference to my despatch No. 87 will show how extremely improbable it is that the Viceroy could have misunderstood my statement about the Customs.

4. On Wednesday, the 12th instant, nine of the elders of Tai po Hii district came in to lotow to me and present a petition, I a translation of which I enclose, praying for clemency. I said, in reply, that the property destroyed must be paid for, to which they agreed. I promised that, if that were done, I should accept their statement that the people had been led astray by some designing people and were sorry for what had occurred and that no further action would be taken in the matter. They expressed themselves as being satisfied with the cession of the territory to England, and I explained to them fully the system of local government that I proposed to adopt, which seemed to please them. I also informed them of the proposed arrangements for hoisting the flag at Tai po Hu on the 17th, and expressed a hope that the elders and people of the district would attend and hear what I had to say to them.

5. The reports from the district were that everything was quiet, the people civil, and the work of erecting the matsheds was progressing rapidly so that they would be ready for occupation on Monday next.

6. I had arranged all the details of the Force to be stationed in the new territory for the present, Major-General GASCOIGNE co-operating most cordially. The twenty police who were to be stationed at Tai po Hu were to proceed to-day and take up their quarters so as to be in readiness for Monday's ceremony, and a Company of the Hongkong Regiment was also to proceed to-day and remain under canvas, while on Monday half the Battalion will proceed and encamp in the neighbourhood on an excellent camping ground where they will go through their annual military training.

7. Yesterday morning the Director of Public Works had an intimation from one of the respectable inhabitants of the district that a number of rowdy characters had collected in the valley and, as there was no protection at all now given to the matsheds, he was afraid that, if left unprotected, they might be burnt before Mon-

On hearing this, I at once despatched Mr. MAY, the Captain Superintendent of Police, with the jarty who are to be stationed at Tai po Hu to occupy the quarters, the Commodore kindly sending them to Mirs Bay by a torpedo destroyer. When they arrived they found but the smouldering remains of the matsheds, which some of the villagers declared were burnt during the morning by a number of bad characters from over the border. On the summit of the hills to the North Mr. MAY saw about 150 men with two flags, one of them apparently a Japanese flag, who exploded bombs and crackers. Mr. MAY and the party returned.

　　　8. Having obtained from the General the loan of the necessary number of tents, I have sent Mr. MAY and his party back to-day with the Company of the Hongkong Regiment to encamp on the ground and have the flagstaff erected. I have directed the Director of Public Works to proceed without delay with the erection of the permanent buildings. I do not think there is any probability that this Force will be attacked. They will not take notice of any demonstration on the opposite hills except an attack be made, pending the formal assumption of jurisdiction on Monday. After that we shall make our jurisdiction respected.

　　　9. The Viceroy having undertaken to protect those matsheds, I submit that the Chinese Government is responsible for the damage done and should be called upon to make good the amount. The district is well known in Canton to be turbulent, that to the N.E. of Mirs Bay being noted for piracy, and so ill-disposed that I am informed that no Customs official dares to land there except with the support of a revenue cruiser.

　　　10. I regret this occurrence very much and I cannot help connecting it with the letter of the 11th instant written by the Viceroy to Her Majesty's Consul at Canton. Up to that date the relations with the people were most friendly. I apprehend that with the large population of Sham Chun and its neighbourhood marching into our borders and unrestrained by the Chinese Officials, there be difficulties ahead. We must only be patient and forbearing, at the same time sup- pressing at once any active opposition to our jurisdiction under the terms of the Convention of the 9th June, 1898.

SIR,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch stating that the Governor of Hongkong proposes to take over the New Territory on April 17.

The Kowloon Knan is Chinese territory, but, on account of the friendship existing between England and China, it has been leased to England. On April 2, when the Governor of Hongkong came to Canton to see me, I firmly insisted that the Customs Stations could on no account be removed, to which the Governor of Hongkong personally agreed. Just as he was leaving. I again said that it was not necessary to allude to the question of the removal of the Customs. The Governor of Hongkong also said that it was not necessary to mention this again, and that he had only to ask me to send soldiers to the place to restore order. I forth with sent 600 men take up their quarters at Kowloon, thus paying due regard to friendly relations.

Yesterday in a telegram (marked Yen) from the Tsung-li Yamen it was stated that a despatch had been received from the British Minister to the effect that the Chinese Customs could not be allowed to remain within the New Territory. Thus the agreement made between WANG WEI-YUAN and Mr. LOCKBART and the state- ments of the Governor of Hongkong, made at the interview of April 2, are in- sufficient as proof, and we will cease to discuss the proposition to take over the territory on the 17th.

I beg you to at once inform the Governor of Hongkong that it will be needless for him to proceed to Kowloon on the 17th.

I have, &c.,

SIR,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 13th April, 1899.

Iam directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant enclosing copy of a despatch addressed to you by the Viceroy on the subject of the removal of the Chinese Customs from the New Territory leased to Great Britain by the Chinese Government.

His Excellency the Governor regrets to find that the Viceroy has so entirely misunderstood the repeated statements made to him on the subject at the interview between their respective Excellencies on the 2nd instant, as nothing could have been more distinct than the Governor's emphatic statement to the Viceroy that the Customs' Stations could not be permitted to remain in the leased Territory.

Under authority received from Her Majesty's Government, His Excellency the Governor has made arrangements to take over the administration of the leased Territory on the 17th instant, and will hoist the British Flag at 1 p.m. on that date at Tai po Hi.

His Excellency will, therefore, be glad if His Excellency the Viceroy will depute an Officer of suitable rank to be present at the ceremony as a mark of the cordial relations that exist between the two nations.

As the entire administration will be assumed by this Government on the 17th instant, the necessity for the presence of Chinese troops in the New Territory will cease on that date and their place will be taken by British troops and Police.

The functions of all Chinese Officials will, of course, cease at the same time, and no doubt arrangements will be made by the Viceroy for their withdrawal on the 17th instant.

Translation of Petition.

We, the gentry of the 39 villages of the Tat Tak Community of the Ping Shan District, beg to present this humble petition stating the cause of the recent trouble and begging for pardon.

　　　Last month His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong issued instructions for the erection of a Police matshed in our district. At that time we had not re- ceived any proclamation from the British Government nor from the Chinese Gov- ernment so that through want of information we became suspicious and unsettled in mind. A few lawless rascals spread wild reports which misled the villagers. They said that the Fung Shui of the district will be injuriously affected by the erection of a matshed and that when the territory is taken over by the English Government a Sanitary Board will be created; that a poll tax will be levied; that licences will be required for keeping domestic animals; that our marriage customs and funeral ceremonies will be altered; that the cutting and gathering of firewood will be prohibited. The ignorant villagers believed this to be true and the feeling of alarm became so general that the inhabitants of Kam Tin, Un Long, Ha Ts'un, Shap Pat Hieung, Castle Peak, and other villagers determined to make things diffi- cult for the British Officers.

　　　We, your humble petitioners, were at first misled but afterwards came forward to explain matters and give good advice to the inhabitants. But they not only would not listen to us but heaped much abuse on us and forced us to take the lead. We knew that if, on the one hand, we complied we should offend against those in authority; while if, on the other, we refused compliance we should be beaten to death by our fellow-villagers. Being in such a quandary, we were constrained to assent. Afterwards we received the proclamations issued by His Excellency the Governor and the Viceroy and numerous letters from our friend in longkong, Mr. NG SUI-SHANG, in which he vigorously refuted the false reports which had been spread. Your petitioners then at the risk of their lives undeceived the people by telling them the facts of the case and they became somewhat more settled.

　　　Your petitioners know that their offence is such that they ought not to es- cape punishment, but the clemency of the Government of Her Majesty the Queen is so great that we hope that a leniency which the law does not allow may be mer- cifully extended to us.

　　　Knowing that you, Sir, are ever ready to act as peace-maker and are willing to endeavour to save people from extreme danger, we come forward to state the cause of the recent trouble and beg you to transmit our petition to the Honour- able Colonial Secretary so that he may submit it to His Excellency the Governor. We humbly pray that His Excellency may be pleased to examine it and mercifully grant us pardon so that when we return to our villages we may use every exer- tion to remove the doubts of the people.

Translation of the Chinese Proclamation issued by His Excellency Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong

and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.

Whereas is Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China has leased to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, as an extension of the Colony of Hong- kong, certain territory situated in the district of San On, and certain Islands adjacent thereto, the boundaries of which are as hereunder stated, viz. :-

The Northern boundary commences at the point of high water mark in Mirs. Bay where the meridian of 114° 30' East bisects the land, and follows that high water mark to a point immediately to the West of Shat'aukok, and then follows the road along the Northern edge of this town till the middle of a stream becomes the boundary as far as the road to Kang Hau. From Kang Hau to about a quarter of a mile West of Kang To the Northern edge of the road is the boundary. From this point to the mouth of the Sham Chun river the Northern bank of the Sham Chun river forms the boundary. From the mouth of the Sham Chun river the boundary follows the high water mark along the coast of Deep Bay till the point where the meridian of 113° 52′ bisects the land.

The Eastern boundary is 114° 30′ East Longitude.

The Western boundary is 113 52′ East Longitude.

The Southern boundary is 22° 9' North Latitude.

All the islands situated within those boundaries are within the leased area as are all the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay.

And whereas Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint me as Governor of the said territory, and whereas it is desirable that British and Chinese territory should be clearly defined so that the friendly relations now existing between the two nations may be always maintained.

Now, therefore, I have fixed the 17th day of April, 1899, as the date on which the British flag shall be hoisted and the administration of the territory be taken over by duly authorized British Officers.

To remove any cause for suspicion in your minds as to the good intentions. of the British Government and to prevent you from being deceived and misled through ignorance by false reports disseminated by lawless persons who may seek to further their own interests by thus causing trouble, it is right for me to warn you against such persons and to assure you that all the inhabitants residing within the limits of British territory will be permitted to follow undisturbed their lawful occupations, whatever they may be.

I would also impress upon you that this territory having been leased by His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China to Her Britannic Majesty the Queen, as subjects of Her Majesty's Empire, your commercial and landed interests will be safe-guarded, and that your usages and good customs will not in any way be interfered with.

It is the wish of Her Majesty the Queen that all her subjects in every part of the world shall be prosperous and happy, and it will be my duty to assist you to improve your position by every means in my power. The most respected of your elders will be chosen to assist in the management of your village affairs, to secure peace and good order and the punishment of evil-doers. I expect you to obey the laws that are made for your benefit and all persons who break the law will be punished severely.

It will be necessary for you to register without delay your titles for the land occupied by you, that the true owners may be known. Should any land be required for public purposes it will be paid for at its full value.

Remember that as subjects of the Great British Empire your perfect freedom from oppression is assured. Should you have any complaint to make the Governor will always be willing to hear it and to order what is right. There will be no injustice allowed, nor any laxity in the administration of justice. All must render implicit obedience.

Some rowdies at Tai po Hu have burnt the matsheds which the Viceroy pro- mised to protect. Twenty police who are intended for the station there and a Com- pany Hongkong Regiment have encamped there with a view to making arrangements for the hoisting of the flag on Monday. Mr. LoCKHART hears that the people are restive and that many rowdies from the districts immediately North of the leased area have come down with the intention of giving us trouble and opposing our taking possession. I hope this will not prove to be the case. I have instructed the troops to take no steps unless attacked, in which case they have orders to assert our authority.

Our men returned the fire. No casualty reported. I have sent out half a battalion of the Hongkong Regiment to re-inforce the Company there. A Chinese official whom the Viceroy sent here to-day assures me that the opposing forces are not Chinese troops, and I have further telegraphed to the Viceroy demanding a direct assurance to this effect. I have reason to believe that opposing forces consist of rowdies from the Districts immediately North of the boundary of the New Territory.

No casualties; a Chinese flag was captured by the Hong- kong Regiment. The Secret Societies, worked from their head-quarters at Sham Chun, are probably largely responsible for the present trouble, and the premature arrival of troops and police alone prevented a catastrophe through these people opening fire on the mixed company that would have attended the ceremony of hoisting the flag to-morrow.

　　　　In view of the disturbances now taking place in the New Territory, which there is good reason to believe have been engineered or assisted from Chinese terri- tory, I am instructed to ask you to be good enough to lay before His Excellency the Governor the following opinions and suggestions of my Committee :-

　　　　1. That having regard to the fact that the New Territory is obviously liable to be overrun by banditti who are either not amenable to Chinese authority or whose acts the mandarins find it convenient to ignore or disavow, it is essential to the preservation of good order in the Colony, and to consolidate our position, that the northern boundary shall be clearly defined by natural features and include within it the town of Sham Chun.

　　　　2. That recent occurrences have convincingly demonstrated the inutility, if not the actual mischievousness, of mandarin influence, and furnish excellent reasons for the removal of the Chinese officials from Kowloon City, which otherwise will remain a focus of intrigue against the authority of the Hongkong Government.

　　　　3. The Committee would further suggest that, as the suppression of these disturbances will entail a heavy outlay, it would not be unreasonable for Her Majesty's Government to demand the extension of the lease of the New Territory for a longer period than 99 years, if not the complete cession thereof.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 28th April, 1899.

SIR,

The late unfortunate disturbances in the leased area render it expedient that I should place you in possession of all the facts bearing upon the present situa-

tion.

2. It will be remembered that there has been considerable delay in arranging for the delimitation of the Northern boundary. In August last year the entire district was visited by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART whose able report has been considered by you, Immediately after his arrival from England on the 3rd February, I entered upon the consideration of the details of administration of the New Territory, while the question of the boundary was being discussed between Her Majesty's and the Chi- nese Governments. All the details of the additional establishments, number and location of police, necessary public works, &c. were determined by the time when the boundary was fixed on behalf of the two Governments by Deputy WANG and Mr. STEWART LOCKHART on the 14th March,

3. On the 24th March Mr. MAY, the Captain Superintendent of Police, pro- ceeded to Tai po Hii and selected a site for a station. On the 31st March he again visited the place and found the framework of a matshed erected by the contractor. who had, however, ceased to work as he was ordered to desist by the villagers. I may observe that matsheds are temporary structures of bamboo poles, rafters, and floors with sides and roof of palm leaves. They are put up without nails and very rapidly and are strong and watertight.

4. On being appealed to by the village to remove the oatshed as its position would interfere with their "Fung Shui" or good luck, he declined to do so or con- sider the matter until they permitted the workmen to proceed, so work was resumed. On the next day he returned, and in deference to the objections of the villagers he asked them to point out another site, which they did, on which he ordered the frame to be taken down and removed to the new site. As soon as the workmen had well begun on the new shed they were resisted, upon which a mes- sage was sent to the Colonial Secretary, Mr. STEWART LOCKHART.

5. On that day Mr. STEWART LOCKHART came to me bringing with him an inflammatory placard that was, according to the information given to him, being posted in the villages of the leased area. A copy of this placard was transmitted with my despatch No. 82 of 1st instant. At the same time the information was given to me that the workmen erecting the matsheds were stopped by threats. Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, who has a long experience in China, said that the consequences of the issue of this placard and the stoppage of the work of erecting the matshed would be very serious. He suggested that I should send him to Canton to see the Viceroy, as not a moment should be lost. I concluded that if it was necessary to see the Viceroy I had better see him myself. I telegraphed to the Consul at Canton that I desired to see the Viceroy next day, and next morning started from here at 5 a.m., taking Mr. STEWART LOCKHART with me. Upto that time, although apparently everything was friendly in the New Territory, we were only on sufferance in erecting matsheds, and it became evident that if the Viceroy would not accept responsibility for their protection I must either defer any preparation for the ac- commodation of the police, or apply for authority to take over possession without further delay.

6. I have reported the circumstances of my visit to the Viceroy in my des- patch No. 87 of 7th instant. He accepted all the responsibility for the protection of the matsheds which involved his permission to erect them, and, in accordance with his promise, telegraphed at once to the Colonel stationed at Kowloon to pre- pare for 300 men who were to proceed to any portion of the leased area desired by this Government, so as to afford protection to the matsheds being erected, and also to surveying parties, and generally to preserve order. These soldiers were sent down within three days, and the places to which we wished them to be sent were indicated by the Colonial Secretary. The Viceroy also issued a proclama- tion to be posted in various villages calling upon the people to be of good beha- viour and stating that the area had been leased to Great Britain by the Emperor of China. Thus the entire responsibility for the peace and good order of the leased area was undertaken by the Viceroy, as I was determined not to send any armed men into the Territory until I was about to take possession.

1372 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

7. On the evening of the 1st April, Mr. MAY returned and reported to me that the contractor's men had stopped work and come away, so he had left two Indian police and two Chinese in charge of the sheds in course of erection and the materials I disapproved of leaving any armed men in Chinese territory and directed him to withdraw them. He said that he had promised the villagers to return, and would go himself and withdraw them, feeling that possibly an explanation with the people, when their tempers had time to cool, would settle matters without further trouble.

8. Accordingly, early on Monday morning, the 3rd instant, he proceeded to Tai po Hu, calling at Kowloon en route and taking with him five Chinese soldiers to whom, under the instructions of the Viceroy, was to be handed over the protec- tion of the matshed and the workmen. Additional soldiers were to be sent on as soon as they had arrived from Canton. Mr. MAY took with him six unarmed Sikh police, merely a formal escort as is usual in China. At 12 midnight I received a pencilled note in Mr. MAY's pocket book, brought by one of the Chinese who had been left at the matshed, in which he said that he was attacked by a mob and would hold the matshed until morning, but urgently required relief. I requested Major- General GASCOIGNE to send a Force to relieve him, and' at 3.30 a.m. Major-General GASCOIGNE proceeded himself in Her Majesty's ship Whiting, accompanied by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, and taking with him 100 men of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Of the two matsheds partially erected they found one burnt, but the principal one was untouched. The people informed them that Mr. MAY and his party had left for Hongkong, so they returned. In the forenoon Mr. MAY returned and reported that he and his party had been assailed with stones and other missiles, and seeing, after 9 o'clock, that signals were being shown and drums beat indicating a general concentration of villagers, he retreated over the hill, and remained con- cealed until morning, seeing, as he thought, both matsheds on fire. He heard a general advance upon the hill, upon which he had first taken up his position. He reported that the Chinese soldiers sent in with him had behaved very well.

9. I immediately telegraphed to Her Majesty's Consul at Canton as follows:-- "Thank Viceroy for prompt orders to Kowloon. Inform His Excellency that British official and men with five Chinese soldiers were attacked this evening at Tai po Hu. Am sending a Force to relieve them and remove them leaving protection of property to Chinese Government. Request Viceroy to order sufficient Force to be sent without delay to preserve order and fully protect workers. A considerable Force will be necessary. I have directed the relieving Force now proceeding in one of Her Majesty's ships not to do more than relieve British subjects, except they are attacked."

I telegraphed again on the 5th as follows:-

"Inform Viceroy troops not yet arrived, neither has San On Magis- trate issued Viceroy's proclamation. The names of ringleaders Monday's attack given Kowloon authority but instructions from Viceroy to San On Magistrate to arrest guilty parties necessary. Please request that instruc- tions be given."

　　　　10. In response to those telegrams, I was informed that 600 soldiers had been sent into the leased area to preserve order. Immediately after the occurrence I considered the position in Executive Council and decided not to take over the ter- ritory until the 17th as the occurrence seemed to be nothing more than a sudden. affray, and as the Viceroy had accepted all the responsibility and undertaken to afford protection, the contractor could go on and re-construct the matsheds. The contractor resumed work and finished the matsheds on the 14th instant sufficiently to enable them to be occupied.

11. On the 7th instant, I issued a proclamation in Chinese* a copy of which I annex, and published a notice in the Gazette that I would take over the Territory in accordance with Her Majesty's Order-in-Council. On the 17th, I also informed the Viceroy through Her Majesty's Consul. By general desire the day was pro- claimed a public holiday and large numbers of the inhabitants of Hongkong of all classes intended to be present.

　　　　12. All this time Mr. STEWART LOCKHART was assured by Chinese, to whom he looked for information, that the people were all anxious that we should take over the Territory, the gentry alone being antagonistic.

13. On the 14th, Mr. STEWART LOCKHART received information from an inhabit- ant of Tai po Hu that the matsheds were quite unprotected, and as there were rowdies about it would be well to have them occupied lest some mischievous person should burn them. As it was intended that the 25 police to be stationed there, with a Com- pany of the Hongkong Regiment, should march over on Saturday, the 15th, to have things in readiness for the ceremony of hoisting the flag, I determined to send the police in at once by launch. When they arrived they found a leap of smouldering ruins. They returned and reported the matter, and, still under the impression that the burning of the matsheds was simply an act of wanton mischief, I directed the police to return next morning, taking tents, and also the Company of the Hongkong Regiment with instructions that they were to hire some coolies and have the debris cleared away. It was evident that the Viceroy had not afforded the protection in accordance with his undertaking; but the cost of the matshed was a comparatively unimportant matter.

14. On the arrival of the police and troops, they observed large numbers of apparently Chinese troops in uniform, who were in position on the hills to the north of Tai po Hii village. There was also a battery of guns mounted in a regular emplacement. These people opened fire, which was sustained for a consider- able time, until the arrival of Her Majesty's ship Fame, with Captain LONG, Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, who had gone round to arrange the position of the camp. The Fame landed a party of 16 men under Lieutenant KEYES, R.N., who joined the Forces engaged on the hill. The Fame then opened fire on the Chinese position and the troops and blue-jackets advanced, clearing away the assailants who were regularly entrenched, and capturing a flag which has on it an inscription showing it to be the flag of one of the local land Forces of China.

15. On receiving intelligence of the serious turn that events had taken, Major- General GASCOIGNE proceeded to the spot himself, with three Companies of the Hongkong Regiment and one Company of the Asiatic Artillery. He was accom- panied by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART who was instructed by me to hoist the flag on arrival and to read Her Majesty's Order-in-Council and my proclamation so as to make our position regular. Early

　　　　　　　Early on the morning of the 16th, I telegraphed to the Consul at Canton requesting him to inform the Viceroy that the British flag had been hoisted, and to request that all Chinese soldiers and officials, except the Customs officials, might be removed from the leased area, to which request from the Consul His Excellency sent a verbal message that he declined to give any reply. A short time after the hoisting of the flag, the entire Force was again at- tacked, but the firing was from such a distance that no casualties occurred, and when the troops proceeded to attack in turn the Chinese dispersed. General GASCOIGNE returned on Sunday afternoon and reported that he apprehended no serious difficulty.

16. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday the troops were moving to the westward to search some village in which it was reported that nine men were im- prisoned who had come in from Ping Shan district to Hongkong on the 12th instant to present a petition to me praying for clemency on account of the first burning of the matsheds. On each day they were attacked. On Tuesday, the attacking Force consisted of 2,600 men who, in the neighbourhood of Kam Tin advanced across the open in excellent skirmishing order against two Companies of the Hongkong Regiment until they were within 300 yards, when they broke and fled. This was the last attack and was repulsed with some loss, which would have been much heavier had not the fire been humanely controlled when the assailants Two guns were taken in Monday's pursuit, and six other guns were found thrown into a deep pond at Ping Shan.

fled.

17. Since then the villagers acknowledge that in their resistance they were hopelessly beaten, and Mr. STEWART LOCKHART reports that they are now return- ing to work.

　I have instructed him to make every effort to beget confidence and to remove the idea that we have come to change their custoins or to confiscate their land.

18. This is a narrative of the events of the 19 days in the New Territory. But there are other facts that have a direct bearing upon the whole matter. It will be remembered that there was a difficulty about the question of the retention of the Customs stations in the leased area, as I pointed out that by the automatic action of the Convention the Chinese Customs officials could not continue to exercise their functions while the leased area remained under British jurisdiction, to which the Viceroy demurred. On the 10th instant, the Viceroy informed the Consul that there was no use in my proceeding to hoist the flag on the 17th instant as he declined

to hand it over, because the Chinese Customs were not to be allowed to remain within the New Territory. To that despatch, after receiving your approval, I replied that under instructions from Her Majesty's Government I would proceed at 1 p.m. on the 17th to hoist the British flag, and invited His Excellency to name an Official of suitable rank to be present at the ceremony. On the 15th, I was informed that Deputy WANG, who had been the Chinese Commissioner for the delimitation of the boundary, had been sent down by the Viceroy with 300 soldiers to Kowloon. On receipt of the message from Captain BERGER, of the Hongkong Regiment, that he was opposed by the Chinese troops with guns, I sent for Deputy WANG, and demanded to know if these men were Chinese troops. He said "No,' adding that the Viceroy had sent him down to see that 300 men should be placed in the New Territory to "protect it" until I took it over. I told him that I had determined to hoist the flag next morning and that all Chinese soldiers and officials must leave the leased area. On the 17th, the Commissioner of Imperial Customs conveyed to me that Deputy WANG wished to see me, and shortly after he waited upon me accompanied by Mr. HILLIER, the Chinese Commissioner of Customs. Deputy WANG was anxious to discuss the Customs question about which he had evidently been sent down, but I declined to enter upon the subject. I told him that I could not permit Chinese troops to remain in the Territory and at Kowloon, and could not understand why the Viceroy should have considered it necessary to send to Kowloon an additional force of 300 men two days before the date on which I announced that the New Territory would be taken over.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　He pressed the question for some time, and in the course of his remarks said something which the Chinese Customs Commissioner did not translate saying it was mere folly, but Mr. MANSFIELD, Her Majesty's Consul at Canton, who was present, at once interpreted it as a statement that the 300 soldiers had been sent down to protect the Customs. I told him that it was necessary that these men should be withdrawn ;

he promised to telegraph to the Viceroy, and, if no answer was returned, to go to Canton himself, although from the known state of the Viceroy's feelings he had little hope of obtaining the necessary authority to move. I made it clear that it would be necessary for the soldiers to withdraw whatever the state of the Viceroy's feelings. Deputy WANG stated that there were several parties of soldiers stationed all through the Territory which he would order to come to Kowloon. I said that those should be ordered to retire to Sham Chun rather than to Kowloon, to reach which place they would be obliged to march across the Territory and over the hills.

　　　19. I have stated that my proclamation was posted in different parts of the leased area on and after the 7th instant. In the absence of Mr STEWART LOCKHART, who is in the New Territory, I cannot say what arrangement was made for posting it, but I presume that some native of the district was employed to post them in the usual manner. On the 20th instant, I received a petition from a wife of a man named CHEUNG-Tson who was, it appears, employed to post those notices. He had posted, or distributed some, for evidence since forthcoming shows that when the leaders were declaring for resistance they said that this man must be killed if he returned to his village from Hongkong, where he then was, with any more proclamations. The evidence goes to show that early on the morning of the 18th he left Hongkong for Castle Peak Bay en route for his village of Ha-Ts'un. time a large number of the people, who had been called to arms, were assembled at Castle Peak Bay. It is not clear if the man carried any of my proclamations with him, but he was seized at Castle Peak Bay and sent as a prisoner to his village where he was confined in the meeting-honse. After the defeat at Kain-Tin the leader, whose name is known, with others, came to la-Ts'un, beat the man, and then shot him; put the body in a pig basket and flung it into the river. The body was subsequently found with a chain tightly fastened round the neck, and several shot wounds. Apart from the attack upon the troops this is the only outrage that has taken place during the week after the 15th instant.

At the

　　　20. In searching this mecting-house Mr. STEWART LOCKHART has discovered several letters, which show the course of events previous to the outbreak of violence. And he has further obtained the statements* of two of the leaders in the movement, who have submitted and expressed contrition. The statements and the letters show a state of clan feeling and power of combination not unlike that of the Scottish highlands two centuries ago, and it is evident that there was no secrecy whatever in the clan meetings and public discussions on the question of resistance. Nor there was any secrecy in the manner in which help was asked for and given by affiliated societies in the turbulent district north of the border. They could

not have come down as they did in considerable numbers, without the knowledge of the Viceroy's officials at Sham Chun, where they had to cross the river by a ferry. Nor could the warlike preparations have been made without the knowledge and connivance of the C00 troops which the Viceroy acknowledges that he placed in the leased area "to preserve order." The emplacement for guns and the entrenchments at Tai po Hii were never made by peasants without some direction from a person having military training of some sort.

21. Two of the letters found in the meeting-house mention Major FoxG, who was one of the Viceroy's officers, in charge of the Forces for the "preservation of order." One letter would appear to show that the Viceroy wished to warn the people, but the other contains the significant hint that Major FONG "will not in any way use force but will freely allow all the villages to carry out their own settled plans."

22. During the entire proceedings I have been careful to treat the Viceroy and his authorities with a scrupulous regard for international obligations. The result has shown an utter disregard of the responsibility assumed by the Viceroy of Canton, and a serious loss of life; for it is idle to ignore the fact that the assail- ants have suffered serious losses in their four days' hopeless contest against disci- plined Forces. Nor can I look upon such needless loss of life with equanimity. The statements of NG KI CHUNG and TANG KOK LAM and the letters found in the meeting-house show that those people possess some of the qualities that make good subjects, and, foolish as their opposition may have been, with exception of the murder of CHEUNG TSOI after the fight at Kam Tin, their action displayed no moral turpitude. With Her Majesty's Government rests the decision whether any, or what notice, shall be taken of violated promises involving grave loss of life, serious expense, and inevitable feelings of acerbity on the part of the people of the New Territory, with whom it was my most earnest desire to establish relations of friend- ship and confidence from the moment of my assumption of the Government.

23. I attach the documents mentioned in the enclosed list relating to the subject of this despatch.

24. I venture to hope that you will convey to the Naval and Military Authorities my warm acknowledgments of the cordial co-operation of Major- General GASCOIGNE and Commodore POWELL but for whose instant and effective action matters might have been much more serious. Lieutenant-Colonel THE O'GORMAN, Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, Captain LONG, Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, and Captain BERGER have had arduous duties which have been cheerfully and readily performed; and Lieutenant GOODENOUGH, R.N., Lieutenant KEYES, R.N., and Lieutenant KELLY, R.N., have performed the duties entrusted to them with conspicuous zeal. The active and judicious assistance of the Fame ou the evening of the 15th bore a large share in the repulse of the attacking Chinese. I have the honour to be,

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

I am informed that the disturbance in the neighbourhood of Tai po Hii has assumed a more serious aspect and that there are about 2,000 men collected in the neighbourhood of Tai po Hu for the purpose of resisting the British.

The 2,000 men come from districts north of Sham Chun and are supposed to be the remnants of the followers of CHUNG SUI-YEUNG and SUN YAT-SEN, who tried to create a rebellion in the Kwangtung province. In addition to the 2,000 inen at Tai po Hu, there are at least 1,000 men scattered throughout the New Territory, who are said to belong to the Triad Society. A large number of people from the neighbourhood of Sham Chun have also crossed into the Territory under the pretence of looking on, but are ready to take a hand in the fight if the insur- gents are successful at the beginning. It is the intention of the people collected at Tai po Hu to fire from the hills on our troops. The villagers are on the whole favourably disposed towards us, but the superior force of the rowdies has compelled them to join the movement against their own inclination and to subscribe in money and kind towards the support of those ready to resist. Should any success attend those who wish to resist, they will be joined by all the villages in the New Territory and by the inhabitants of the neighbouring districts of Tung Kun and Kwai Shin. Two of the men sent to post the Governor's proclamation in Chinese have been seized and detained at Kam Tin Hu and in the Shap Pat Heung District. The Chinese who kotowed at Government House have been, it is alleged, locked up in their own village and have been forced to give supplies of fowls, pigs, &c. to the insurgents. My informant predicts that there will be trouble as soon as the troops arrive and that the insurgents will try to "snipe" our soldiers from the hillsides.

The above information has been given to me by Mr. NG SUI-SHANG, who is well acquainted with the New Territory and its inhabitants, and has given me great

assistance at various times.

Colonial Secretary.

　　　Yesterday at 4.30 p.m. I landed with my party of Police expecting to find the Hongkong Regiment Company on the ground which I had described to Captain BERGER. Immediately on landing we were fired on, and the fire being heavy and missiles flying overhead, I sent back Mr. MUDIE and his party, who had the flagstaff, and took up a position to cover the retreat of that party.

　　　The Chinese then began to advance, and as some bullets fell close to us I had to return the fire. The Hongkong Regiment then came up and the rest has been reported, I believe, by Captain LONG. Late in the evening the Hongkong Regiment captured a standard which may help to identify the persons who were opposing

I shall get the flagstaff up to-day and hope to get tents fixed for my men, but much time has been lost with the difficulties of landing.

HONGKONG, 16th April, 1899.

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

You will please proceed to-day to Tai po Hu, and there hoist the British flag. When you have done so you will read aloud the Convention of 9th June, 1898, and Her Majesty's Order-in-Council of 20th October, 1898.

On your arrival you will report on the situation and keep me regularly in- formed. The machinery of the Executive should be got into working order as soon as possible.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI PO HU, 16th April, 1899, 3 p.m.

I have just hoisted the British Flag in the presence of the General Officer Commanding and Staff, the Commodore, and the Colonel, Officers and 500 men of the Hongkong Regiment, and a Battery of Asiatic Artillery. Salutes were fired by H.M.S. Brisk and Fame and by the Battery of Artillery. I read the Order-in- Council and Convention after the flag had been hoisted.

All is quiet here at present.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART.

(Colonial Secretary's Second Minute of the 16th April, 1899.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

Tat To H?, 16th April, 1899.

I scribbled a short pencil note to you immediately after I had hoisted the flag. The ceremony passed off very successfully considering how rapidly all arrange- ments had to be made. Salutes were fired from the shore and afloat by H.M.S. Brisk and H.M.S. Fame which were dressed. I have arranged that the British The troops ensign is to be hoisted every day at sunrise and lowered at sunset. here and the police are in good health and excellent spirits. Mr. MAY is staying on board the Wing Fu with me as are also two European members of the Police Force-a Sergeant and a Constable--and Mr. Tsor and my Chinese writer. I propose to keep the Wing Fu here until our tents on shore have been erected. is anticipated that they will be in position to-morrow. I also propose to keep the Praya here for the present and to retain Mr. MUDIE at Tai po so that he may superintend the construction of a bamboo jetty which is essential in order to facilitate landing arrangements. The Director of Public Works should know this. The General Officer Commanding is remaining behind and we will together concert a plan of travelling throughout the territory without delay. So far as I can gather, the General Officer Commanding wishes the troops to rest to-morrow, but I will report later on what is decided. It is impossible to ascertain whether there were any casualties last night. There are many rumours, but without further examination, it would be unwise to rely upon them. Everything is quiet at present. I am sending this by the launch Lee On, which will start from here at 5.30 p.m.

Commander KEYES has taken my pencil note written in situ, directly after I had hoisted the flag, which is now flying to the breeze.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI Po Ho, 17th April, 1899, 6.39 a.m.

Everything passed off quietly last night. We fancied we heard the sound of firing in the distance, but the Military have not made any movement, so we may have been mistaken in thinking the sound we heard was firing. I hope we shall be able to get our tents erected to-day. The Wing Fu is not altogether adapted for the accommodation of so many Europeans and Chinese as have now to live on board of her. I will meet the General Officer Commanding early this morning when we will arrange a plan of action. I think the General Officer Command- ing wants the Troops to rest to-day. A flag has been captured by the Hongkong Regiment with Chinese characters on it. They are of importance and I will deal with this matter in a further memo, to-day. I am sending this to Sha Tin by a Police launch. It will be taken over the Kowloon hills by a messenger.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI Po HU, 17th April, 1899, 8.30 a.m.

I attach herewith a sketch of the flag captured by the Hongkong Regiment in the trenches on the hills to the North of Tai po Hii on the evening of the 15th

instant.

　　　　The flag has a red border and a white centre on which are seven Chinese characters, meaning :-

"Trainband sanctioned by the Government: Tai Kai (Village): surname Man."

　　　　The village referred to which is also known by the name of T'ai Hang (A) is situated in the Lam Ts'un () Valley, N. W. of Tai po Hu, from which place the village in question is distant about 2 miles.

The village is inhabited by the Man clan.

　　　　It is important to note that "the trainband" is established by Government sanction. This clearly shows that "the trainband" should have been controlled by the officials of the Government.

　　　　It is, of course, possible that the flag may have been used without authority, but I have reason to believe that the head of this Man clan has been actively supporting the insurgents with money and food. He promised to come to Hong- kong to beg for pardon, but never appeared on the plea of old age.

I recommend that the Government of China be called upon for an explanation. I am sending this by specia! messenger who will proceed by launch to Sha T'in and walk over the hills to Kowloon. I will take steps to discover the where- abouts of the head of the Man clan.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

THE CAMP, TAI PO HU, 17th April, 1899, 10.20 a.m.

The villages in the neighbourhood of Tai po Hii are practically deserted and difficulty is being experienced in obtaining coolies. I have landed and am now waiting in the Camp for the General who has gone to Fong Ma Po to inspect a site for a Camp there. Mr. MAY and Mr. Ts'or are here with me, and H.M.S. Humber is just coming to anchor at about a distance of 14 miles from the Camp.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART.

(Colonial Secretary's Fourth Minute of the 17th April, 1899.)

THE CAMP, TAI Po Hu, 12.25 p.m.

I have just had an interview with His Excellency the General Officer Com- manding. He has decided to establish a permanent Camp at Fong Ma Po in the Lam Ts'un valley. He hopes to have the permanent Camp established by to- morrow evening, and to have the troops ready for movement on Wednesday next.

As regards the labour question, His Excellency the General Officer Command- ing will explain the position. If force has to be used to obtain labour, I presume such force must be exercised by the Military, but, of course, only after every effort has been made to persuade coolies to work willingly. I have received Your Excellency's message instructing me to return to the meeting of Legislative Council to-morrow, if possible. I have consulted the General Officer Commanding, who thinks it very desirable for many reasons that I should remain here. I am of the same opinion, so propose to remain. I am endeavouring to get as much informa- tion as I can in this neighbourhood, which I do not propose to leave until Wednes- day when the troops can be moved from the perinanent Camp. On that day I will proceed to Un Long.

Since writing my first letter, there has been further firing on the part of the Chinese. His Excellency the General Officer Commanding is returning to Hong- kong and will give full particulars. I have had a further conference with the General Officer Commanding and he will explain what his wishes are.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Will you kindly cause the Director of Public Works to be informed that our bels have not reached us? As the troops are engaged to-day, I fear our tents will not be erected by this evening, in which case it will be necessary to retain the Wing Fu. The Harbour Master should know this.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI PO CAMP, 17th April, 1899, 11.15 p.m.

　　　The engagement to-day has ended by BERGER reaching Sheung Ts'un in the Pat Heung Valley and by SIMMONDS being stationed at San Uk-tsai, four miles from here. Major BROWNE, R.A.M.C., has returned and his account of the action is that the Chinese had chosen their positions well and that if they had only fired well, the British troops would have fared very badly. BROWNE is wounded slightly and so is a private. No other casualties on our side. The casualties on the Chinese side cannot be ascertained, but some men have been killed. SIMMONDS is stationed at San Uk-tsai in a position commanding both valleys. BERGER wishes to advance to-morrow. I am strongly of opinion that the most effective manner of dealing with the situation is for troops to be landed from Hongkong at Castle Peak and for them and BERGER to advance simultaneously, whilst the Fame could co-operate from Deep Bay. The leading villages which have been chiefly instrumental in creating the disturbance are Kam Tin, Ha Tsun, Un Long, and Ping Shan. My information is that these villages are determined to resist. I think they should be brought to reason, especially Kam Tin, which is an old offender. So far as I can ascertain. the Chinese soldiers who engaged our troops are not regulars, but some more flags have been captured by BERGER which I will examine carefully when they are brought into camp. MAY went with a body of Police and a detachment of the Hongkong Regiment to take ammunition to BERGER. Major BROWNE reports that MAY had just arrived at Sheung Ts'un before he left. A body of blue-jackets and marines has landed from the Humber and is now encamped on Flagstaff Hill. The Peacock is anchored in Tolo Harbour. I have been on shore all day and will remain with Colonel THE O'GORMAN in camp all night, so as to know what messages are sent from Hongkong before daybreak. I hope troops will be sent to co-operate with BERGER. Dr. THOMSON and Mr. MESSER arrived by the Humber, and are sleeping on board the Wing Fu.

　　　Pending the present trouble it will be impossible to make any progress with our administrative arrangements, and if the trouble continues I see no reason why the two Officers referred to should remain here.

　　　It is raining slightly which will not tend to make life here any more pleasant than it has already been.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART.

(Governor's Minute of 17th April, 1899.)

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

Under the circumstance explained by General GASCOIGNE I

approve of your not coming in. You will remember in the operations that the New Territory comes within the terms of the Arms Ordinance and no person in that territory is entitled to have or possess arms. It will therefore be your duty to discover any arms and confiscate them. The troops acting in support of the Civil Power will have authority to search and disarm. As to the movement of the troops, in the suppression of active opposition and armed attacks upon Her Majesty's Forces, you will be guided entirely by the General Officer Commanding who returns to Tai po Ilu this evening. I am informed by Deputy WANG that there are some Chinese soldiers stationed in the district, who have not yet received orders to remove. I shall ask for informa- tion as to the towns and villages to which they have been ordered. If you find them in those villages in the number stated you will direct them to proceed forthwith to Sham Chun except that you find them participating in any movement against our authority, in which case they should be made prisoners. In the event of prisoners being taken with arms in their hands they should be forwarded to Hongkong.

I send copies of last two letters from the Viceroy. As the troops advance it. may be well to pitch on the best site for the police station near Kam T'in without regard to the local objection.

15th April, 1899.

I am in receipt of your despatch stating that the Governor of Hongkong had written to the effect that I had altogether misunderstood him with regard to the question of the Customs Stations discussed at our interview,

During our interview on April 2, the Governor of Hongkong first said that the Customs must be removed. I strongly insisted that they could on no account be removed. When the Governor was leaving, I asked if the delimitation was to be regarded as settled. His Excellency replied that it was. I again said that it was not necessary to again refer to the question of the removal of the Custoins. The Governor replied that it was not necessary to again refer to it. I regarded this as conclusive. The words are still in my ears and I did not misunderstand.

I am again sending Taot'ai WONG TS'UN-SHIN to Hongkong to personally confer and take action, and I shall feel obliged if you will inform His Excellency

SIR.

I have received your Note informing me that you had received a telegram from the Governor of Hongkong requesting me, after the flag had been hoisted, to remove every Chinese official and soldier from the New Territory.

It is set forth in the Convention made with the Tsung-li Yainen that the Chinese officials stationed in Kowloon City shall continue to perform their duties as heretofore." Therefore there can be no question of removing them. As regards the soldiers, the Governor himself requested that they should be sent to keep order, so I sent 300 men of the Chien (3) Battalion to take up their quarters at Kow- loon and 300 men of the Fang Yen Battalion to Shin Chow H (方沿) (深州) to be at hand to preserve order. At the present time the Fang Yen detachment are still at Shin Chow, while the Chien detachment have been moved to Sha T'ou Chio I have telegraphed to Deputy WANG to inform the Governor of Hong-

kong.

SHEUNG TS'UN VILLAGE,

PAT HEUNG VALLEY, 18th April, 1899, 3 p.m.

We left Taipo Camp at 10.30 a mn. and reached here at 12.30, pressing for- ward as rapidly as possible in order to come to the relief of Lieut. BARRETT, who had remained here. We passed through the Lam Ts'un Valley over the Gap into the Pat Heung Valley, at the head of which the village of Sheung Ts'un is situated. Lieut. BARRETT reports that there is a force of about 400 men lodged on a hill 4 miles distant. Colonel THE O'GORMAN does not propose to move the troops to-day unless the Chinese invite an engagement. If the men are not moved to-day, it is proposed to make a movement to-morrow on the villages which are reported to be ready for attacking us. A leading man from Kam Tin has come. in to ask for pardon, but he does not appear to be representing the villagers but himself. I am detaining him here pending further developments. If the troops had landed at Castle Peak Bay early this morning and advanced towards this point, the insurgents would have been caught in a trap and the Fame could have dealt with the runaways in the direction of Deep Bay. The villages through which we passed to-day were practically deserted, a few old women only appearing in each village as we went through. MAY and Ts'or are here with me. and MESSER have remained behind at Taipo. We are living in a temple, which makes a fairly comfortable abode, but the flies and mosquitoes are showing too much appreciation of our presence. There is no doubt now, I regret to say, that many of the leading villages have taken part in resisting our troops. I am gather- ing what information I can on this point, but as you may imagine under present circumstances it is no easy matter to induce the natives to speak. I hope, however, to get at the bottom of the whole affair shortly. After we have dealt with this valley, in which are situated the villages of greatest importance and size, I anticipate the trouble will be practically ended and the civil administration will be able to proceed.

THE GOVERNOR,

18th April, 1899, 10 p.m.

　　　Since I sent my last message Chinese attacked our troops, who swept down the valley to a point 2 miles from Kam Tin. Casualties on our side nil; on side of Chinese not known. I was present throughout engagement, after which we proceeded to Kam T'in and blew down two gates of walled villages. We returned to Sheung Ts'un where we will remain to-night. To-morrow we proceed to Un Long and Ping Shan, where we will stay for the night. SIMMONDS has arrived from Fan Ling: reports all quiet there. We are well though tired.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

SHEUNG TS'UN VILLAGE, 19th April, 1899.

I enclose copy of message which I am sending to the Camp from here. We are just about to start for Un Long, where we will stay for the night. I hope we will also reach Ping Shan and release any of the villagers detained on account of having come to Hongkong to kot". I anticipate that after to-day the villages will have had enough of their resistance. Over a thousand men offered resistance yesterday, and, if their weapons had been of a modern type, would have given our troops a warmer time of it. Even as it was they showed great courage by the manner in which they fired their primitive weapons, several of which have been captured. The villagers have voluntarily surrendered their arms. SIMMONDS reached here last night. He met with no resistance in the Fan Ling Valley. He blew open the gate of a walled village.

GOVERNOR,

Arrived Ping Shan 1 p.m. to-day; no resistance of any kind offered either here or at Ha Ts'un or at Un Long which we visited. Rumoured that a British Force landed Deep Bay proceeded Castle Peak, We have neither seen it or been informed regarding it.

LOCKHART.

(Colonial Secretary's Minute of the 19th April, 1899.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

PING SHAN, 19th April, 1899, 6.30 p.m.

We left Sheung Ts'un at 8.15 a.m. to-day. On reaching Kam T'in, sounds of what appeared to be Maxim gun firing in the direction of Ts'in Wan were heard, so it was decided that Mr. May and Captain BERGER with a body of men belong- ing to the Hongkong Regiment should go in the direction where the sounds of firing were heard, whilst the remainder of the party should proceed to Ping Shan.. We reached here about 1 p.m.; after a very hot and tiring march. visited Un Long on our way. No resistance was offered either there or by any of the villages we passed before we arrived there. Nearly all the villages, including Un Long, fired crackers and had a white flag flying, as a sign of submission. I made the leading traders in Un Long appear before me and told them their action in taking part in the resistance to British authority would certainly involve them in trouble. The two main conspirators of Un Long bad fled and the inha- bitants professed to have no arms. This may be true as no doubt all their arms have been busily employed during the last few days. On arrival at Ping Shan we were met by a band of gongs and drums and many crackers were fired. I sent for the elders and about six of them appeared before me. Among them the four men from Ping Shan, who kotowed to Your Excellency and who were reported to be under restraint. They informed me that they were not imprisoned, but threat- ened with their lives. I have found here distinct traces of this village having been mixed up in the disturbance. Powder, bullets, &c. were discovered in their ancestral temple. I called upon them to produce the large guns used by them to salute me when I paid a visit here last August, but they are not forthcoming, which is strong presumptive evidence, that they have been used to resist our troops. At 1.30 p.m. we proceeded to the village of Ha Ts'un, about a mile distant from here. We were met with a salvo of crackers, and two of the elders came out to receive us. One of them was among the party that kotowed at Government House. He said he had not been imprisoned, but had been unable to restrain the villagers. I demanded the production of the ringleaders. He said they had fled-one to Nam Tau and one to Canton. I asked him to surrender any arms there might be in the village, but none were produced. Some may be surrendered this evening. A villager of Ha Ts'un informs me that British troops were at his village this morning, having landed from Deep Bay. This is the first intelligence we have received of the landing of additional troops. To-inorrow it is proposed to allow the troops to have a rest which they much require and in the hope that we may receive definite information regarding the other body of troops. All of us are well.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART.

(Colonial Secretary's Second Minute of the 19th April, 1899.)

7 p.m.

Captain BERGER and Mr. MAY have just found us here. They went to the top of the Ma On Kong Pass, overlooking Ts'un Wan, which could not be seen on account of the fog. They sent a party to the top of the Tai Mo Shan Pass between Ts'un Wan and Pat Heung. This party has returned to Sheung Ts'un, where there are 150 men of the Hongkong Regiment We have 250 men here. The present position therefore, so far as I know, is :-

20 men at T?i pu Hi. 140 men at Sheung Ts'un. 250 men at P'ing Shan.

　　　Your letter of the 17th inst. has just arrived. We have not been to Castle Peak and, as we are informed by the villager referred to above, troops went there to-day, it would seem better for us to wait until we know exactly how matters stand. The villages we have passed through are sparsely inhabited at present, which shows that many of the villagers have not returned from the fight. Three cannons and three cannonades have just been found in a pond here. They were discovered accidentally by Lieutenant BARRETT whilst bathing. Mr. MAY and Captain BERGER report that they saw two British flags (locally made) hoisted in a Chinese village to-day.

(Colonial Secretary's Minute of the 20th April, 1899.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

PING SHAN, 20th April, 1899, 5.30 a.m.

　　　I have just received your despatch of the 17th instant, with its two enclosures. We have been careful to search for arms and have found some. Most of the villagers, however, have not yet returned to their villages, but are still in the hills, no doubt carrying arms. Mr. MAY leaves this morning at 6 a.m. and will reach Tai po Hu about 11 a.m. He will then proceed to Hongkong and give you full details of our operations. I am instructing him to take back with him Dr. THOMSON and Mr. MESSER, for whose services there is no need at present. Mr. MESSER might be placed in the Land Office to learn the routine. I think the Police might also be withdrawn for the present. Mr. MAY will explain his views to you orally. Colonel THE O'GORMAN and I work together splendidly, so I trust we may be allowed to continue to co-operate. Though active resistance on the part of the Chinese may cease, it will be some little time before the territory can be settled. In view of the part taken by the villages of Un Long and Ping Shan (where I now am), I have told the elders, Police Stations must be built on what- ever site is considered most suitable. I mention this, as you refer to this point in your despatch of the 16th instant. Mr. MAY hopes to be able to communicate with us to-morrow and I shall be glad to know whether Your Excellency has any further news or instructions. We are in very good quarters here: the officers are occupying a private house and the men two ancestral temples. We are all in good health, though our food supply has not been regular nor plentiful. We have had but very little, but are all the better perhaps for that. I have had no kit but that in which I stood until to-day. There is no interpreter with the troops, so my knowledge of the language and Ts'or's presence have been of assist- ance. The latter has been most useful.

J. II. STEWART LOCKHART.

(Governor to Colonial Secretary.)

HONGKONG, 19th April, 1899.

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

General GASCOIGNE has just returned having landed at Deep Bay at daybreak, and marched through to Castle Peak Bay. He saw no person, so the people at Castle Peak Bay must have retired. I agree with him that now that opposition has been broken up 100 men are sufficient to leave in support of the civil power. Mr. MAY had better get the Force necessary for the New Territory together and place the men not required at Tai po Hu under canvas at the point near Kam Tin where he proposes to build the station. Having regard to the attitude of Kam T'in I think it will be well to build the station in the position most suitable for secur- ing the control of that and the other Valley.

The police patrol duty should be commenced at once. The people will soon get accustomed to seeing them.

　　　We have remained here all day. There has been no sign of resistance. On the contrary the villagers are returning to their villages. There has been heavy

rain here to-day which may have helped this movement. I have availed myself of the halt to write up my diary of events since the hoisting of the Flag. Major MORRIS has sent a note to Colonel THE O'GORMAN saying he is stationed at Kam T'in and has completed the work of demolition, by which I presume he means that he has blown down the gates of all the walled villages in that district. Mr. MAY left here at 6 a.m. and has, I suppose, seen Your Excellency by this time. We have succeeded in obtaining most of the supplies required by the troops from Un Long. We are all well.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

(Governor's Instructions to Honourable Colonial Secretary as to present

administration of Kowloon Extension.)

21st April, 1899.

I have received your reports of the 18th, 19th, and 20th instant. The situa- tion appears to have cleared for the present, and it will be very important that the villagers shall be induced to return to their cultivations. I have arranged that the troops shall be withdrawn for the present with the exception of 200 men who will be left by the General Officer Commanding at Tai po Hii as Head-Quarters with instructions to afford assistance to the Civil Power when requisitioned. I propose that the stations at Tai po Hu and in the neighbourhood of Un Long be proceeded with at once, and that 25 or 30 policemen be stationed at each place. A Military party will be supplied at the station at Un Long in support of the police during its construction. It will now be your duty to endeavour to carry out the general policy for the administration of the district, leaving nothing undone to beget confidence. Distribute copies of the remarks in Chinese that have been prepared for distribution, and let it be known that persons who resume their occupations will not be interfered with. If you can establish communication with the elders and leaders of districts it will be well, as it will be necessary to proceed as soon as possible with the task of determining the districts and sub- districts under the Ordinance passed on the 18th instant. It ought to be made clear to the people that when title to land cannot be produced occupation will be accepted as proof of ownership after due notice has been given in the village or district.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

...

HENRY A. BLAKE.

P'ING SHAN, 21st April, 1899.

We passed a good night here last evening. Everything is quiet and the villagers appear to be returning to the villages in this neighbourhood. Colonel THE O'GORMAN has just received orders from the General Officer Command- ing to have some of the troops withdrawn. 300 men are to be left. I have had no letter from Your Excellency since your communication of the 17th instant enclosing, copies of despatches from the Viceroy, with the exception. of your minute on the Opium Papers. I am enclosing copies of the mes- sages forwarded by me to Tai po in case they may not have reached you. I have not kept copies of the letters I have sent to you everyday since the hoisting of the flag. I should like to have copies if Your Excellency has no objection. I think it is important now the villagers are returning that I should remain on the spot. The co-operation between Colonel THE 'GORMAN and myself has been most cordial and could not have been more satisfactory. The rapid and imme- diate action, which I recommended from the first, as the General Officer Com- manding no doubt informed you, has had the desired effect. Procrastination would most certainly have increased the trouble and caused much bloodshed. The General Officer Commanding reports that his expedition met no resistance. This was due to the defeat of the Chinese at Sheung Tsin on the 18th instant. The Chinese state 2,600 Chinese took part in that fight, the majority of them being from districts north of Sham Chun and around Sham Chun. This defeat has filled the Chinese with terror.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.

P.S.-Captain BERGER, Lieutenant BARRETT and the men of the Hongkong Regiment have done splendidly, and if it had not been for their rapid movement, the disturbance would have increased.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

PING SHAN, 21st April, 1899.

Mr. MAY says you wish me to stay here, so I will remain. I had already written to you to say that I thought I ought to be on the spot. Troops without anyone of authority who knows the language would produce much unnecessary trouble. Everything is quiet here. The villagers are returning. Excuse a hurried note, which Inspector HANSON will deliver to Mr. May.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

PING SHAN, 23rd April, 1899.

　　　　I have been using every endeavour to induce the people to return to their usual avocations. On the 20th instant I issued a notification of which I enclose a copy and which has had a very good effect.

Yesterday I received five (5) petitions which are all couched in the same terms.

I attach a translation. The petitions are from ---

(1.) The Kam Tin District including 11 villages.

(2.) The Pat Heung

3.) The Ha Ts'un

The Shap Pat Henng District

The Castle Peak District

(4.) The Ping Shan

5.) The Lai Ts'iin

Total...... 91

These villages represent the most important section of the new territory. You will observe that Petitioners request that the Government may select such sites as it may require for offices, Police Stations, &e.

　　　　These petitions were brought by the elders of the various districts mentioned and were presented in the presence of over 100 people, who had assembled in front of our quarters here. I availed myself of the opportunity to impress upon those present that there was no reason why they should not return to their villages and pursue their lawful occupations; that good people would receive every protection, but that bad characters would be punished without leniency.

The villagers in this neighbourhood are returning in large numbers to their villages and most of the male population is at work as usual in the fields.

　　　　A quantity of arms has been surrendered by the different villages, which I will have removed to Tai po later on.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary.

　　　　P.S-The Captain Superintendent of Police informs me that some of the villagers from the territory have gone to Hongkong and tried to make people believe that they knew nothing about the cession of the territory to Great Britain. You will observe that Petitioners make no such plea and you will, of course, remember that I sent Mr. Ts'or round with the proclamation of the San On District Magistrate, which Mr. Ts'or himself posted in all the chief villages. Your Excellency's proclamation would also have been more widely distributed had not the person sent to distribute them been murdered.

J. H. S. L.

(Translation.)

All good villagers should return to their villages and carry on their work as usual. If bad characters attempt to interfere with them, an immediate report. should be made and they will be dealt with without mercy.

Translation of Petitions presented by the inhabitants of (1) Kam T'in, (2) Shap Pat Heung, Ha Ts'un and Castle Peak, (3) Pat

Heung, (4) Ping Shan, (5) Lam Ts'un.

The Humble Petition of Tang and others shewing that rowdies from other districts have incited and misled the people into the folly of offering armed resistance and praying that Your Excellency may be mercifully pleased to pardon the ignorant country people and allow them to carry on their avocations in peace. Your Petitioners have always observed the law and were fully aware of the condition in the Convention that Chinese will be well treated, which is a matter of great rejoicing to all. But, unfortunately, rowdies from other places spread false rumours saying that the laws and customs of the British and Chinese are different, which would result in endless trouble and difficulty, and they made use of this pretext to incite and mislead the people. They first coerced the elders and gentry and then offered armed resistance to the British troops. Having gained over to their side the majority, your Petitioners were coerced into joining them. TANG TS'ING-SZ then let it be known that rewards would be issued for information regarding and the arresting of traitors to their cause.

Now that the Imperial troops have come to restore order in the territory, your Petitioners offer their submission with true feelings of gladness. But as the people have wandered from their homes-a spectacle which causes great pain-your Petitioners are constrained to humbly approach your tribunal praying that you will be graciously pleased to authorise the withdrawal of the troops, and that hereafter such sites as it may please the Government to select may be used for the erection of Public Offices, Police Stations, or other buildings, for which kindness all our villages would be forever grateful.

(Colonial Secretary's Minute of the 24th April, 1899.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

P'ING SHAN, 24th April, 1899.

　　　When we visited the meeting-house at Un Long on the 22nd instant, I carefully searched the house for documents, being aided in the search by Mr. Ts'o. We found several documents which I have translated. I forward the translation herewith.* I also forward statements made by NG K'i-CH'EUNG,? one of the gentry of the Un Long district, and by TANG LO-PAN? one of the gentry of Kam T'in.

These documents and statements show clearly that there was a combined. movement among the various districts in the territory for the purpose of offering resistance to the British. The movement seems to have started at Ping Shan, where we now are, and to have been taken up by the Ha Ts'un district, in which resided TANG I-SHEK, TANG TS'ING-SZ and TANG CHIK-TING, who seem to have been chiefly instrumental in inducing the gentry and the elders of the other districts to join the movement. The villagers do not seem to have shown any desire to resist, but having been incited by the gentry and elders, it was im possible to restrain them.

I attach a list of the gentry and elders§ whose names appear in the documents found at Un Long and in the statements of NG K'I-CH'EUNG and TANG LO-PAN.

* Enclosures IV to IX inclusive.

? Enclosure No. 1.

Enclosure No. 2.

Enclosure No. 3.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

1391

Nearly all the persons mentioned in the list have fled. Not having yet visited Fan Ling and neighbourhood, I do not know whether the persons from that district whose names are mentioned have fled, but all the persons in the list from this neighbourhood have disappeared with the exception of TANG TS'ING-WAN, NG K'1- CH'EUNG, and TANG LO-PAN, who are here at present. I propose to make them find security that they will appear or be produced whenever called upon.

A regulation should be passed by the Governor-in-Council at once giving the Colonial Secretary power to summon people before him and to fine those who do not appear when summoned, and another regulation should also be passed without delay conferring upon the Colonial Secretary power to make people find security when called upon to do so. It is important that there should be no delay in having these regulations made forthwith. I have been compelled, in the absence of the necessary legal power, to act on my own responsibility.

The leaders in the movement should be dealt with severely. Any leniency shown would be misunderstood. Their property should be confiscated and the proceeds applied to public purposes. As NG KI-CH'EUNG, TANG Lo-PAN, and TANG TS'ING-WAN have not run away, but remained behind, and given us im- portant assistance, I think it would be sufficient in their case if they are made to find security for their future good behaviour. I have already obtained bouds (which are not legal) for the production of TANG Lo-PAN and NG KI-CH'EUNG whenever demanded.

From NG K'I-CHEUNG'S statement it appears that men from the following places in Chinese territory took part in the resistance :--

Sha T'au at the head of Deep Bay.

Sham Chun.

Wai Tak

Ngan Tin

Tung Kun District.

It is difficult to ascertain exactly how many men came from those places, but I have every reason to believe that there must have been over one thousand. It is quite impossible for the officers of the Chinese Government not to have known of the movements of so many men into our territory, and I trust the Viceroy will be brought to book. His attitude of hostility in the matter of the Customs and his failure to give any warning of the movement in the territory under his jurisdic- tion, should not be allowed to pass unpunished.

Among the documents found in the Un Long meeting-house is a letter ad- dressed by one of the underlings of Major FONG to NG KI-CH'EUNG [No. IX]. I would especially call attention to the following sentence in that letter:-

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　All "other particulars you will know fully when you see Major FONG, who will not "in any way use force, but will freely allow all the villages to carry out their own "settled plans." NG KI-CH'EUNG informs me that by the sentence in italics he understood that the villages could do what they liked. He says he never saw Major FONG, but that TANG I-SHEK went to see him at Sham Chun. TANG I- SHEK has been one of the ringleaders in the movement and NG KI-CH'EUNG in- forms me that TANG I-SHEK left this territory for Nam Tan on the 14th April and on the same day went to Sham Chun to see Major FONG. Next day he went to Canton to petition the Viceroy and Governor. If he did present a petition, it would be interesting to obtain a copy of that document.

Colonial Secretary.

ENCLOSURE No. 1 IN COLONIAL SECRETARY'S MINUTE OF THE 24TH APRIL, 1899.

(Translation of Written Statement of Ng Ki-cheung, dated 21st April, 1899.)

On the 17th day of the 2nd moon (28th March), Mr. MAY, Captain Superin- tendent of Police, came to P'ing Shan to look for a site to erect a building and wished to construct a Police Station on Po Kau Hill (?e, the hill immediately behind the village of Ping Shan). The inhabitants of Ping Shan made a fuss saying that the building would affect the Fung Shui of the place. Crowds of people gathered at the house of TANG YING-SHANG and abused him. On the morning of the 18th, i.c., 29th March, the elders of the clan TANG CHIU-1, TANG FONG-HING, TANG TSING-WAN, TANG KWAN-SHAN, TANG LUI-SHANG and TANG A-LAN assembled at Ha Ts'un. When they met in the ancestral temple there the following

1392 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST. 1899.

The

inhabitants of Ha Ts'un, TANG KWOK-LAM, TANG TSING-SZ, TANG CHIK-TING plotted together to resist (ie., the British). On the 19th day (30th March) a meeting was held at Un Long in the meeting-house to discuss matters. following were present :--From the Pat Heung district, TSE HEUNG-PO, LAI CH'UN, LI A-FONG, TANG A-TUNG. Fro:n Kam Tin, TANG CHUR-LAM, TANG Lo- PAN, TANG YAT-HIN, TANG KI-YAN; from Shap Pat Heung, TANG YING-CHEUNG, CHU KI-WAN, NG FUNG-CH'EUNG, NG KI-CH'EUNG; from Ping Shan, A LEUNG, Son of TANG CHIU-1, TANG FONG-HING, TANG TSING-WAN, TANG KWAN-SHANTANG LUI-SHANG, TANG A-LAM; from Ha Ts'in, TANG I-SHEK, TANG KWOK-Lam, Tang CHIK-TING; from Castle Peak, T6 TONG-TSO. All those present said the Company (formed several years ago to buy land in the territory) had cunningly conspired (to induce the British to get the territory); that they feared that the difference between British and Chinese law and customs would lead to no end of difficulties. All thought that armed resistance should be made. But (the writer) NG K'1- CH'EUNG said, "The Emperor of China having sealed the Convention ceding the terri- "tory, we ought certainly not dare to resist. Even if we were foolish enough to "do this rash act we should find difficulty in the matter of men, money, and arms. "Success in battle can only be secured by a correct estimate of one's own (power) "and that of one's enemy." The others had nothing to say in reply, and the meeting dispersed.

On the 21st (1st April) TANG TSING-SZ wrote a letter requesting the elders of the Sheung U Tung division to meet at Un Long. The following were present; from Sheung Shui, LIU WAN-KUK; from Fan Ling, PANG SHU-UN ; from Tai po T'au, TANG MAN; from Ping Kong, HAU HON-KAI; from San Tin, MAN LAI-T'ONG who had with him a number of able-bodied men. At the meeting all were strongly bent on fighting. They also wanted to issue a notice forbidding the villagers from taking employment (under the British) and called upon (the writer) NG K'I-CH'EUNG to make a draft, but he refused and the matter dropped.

　　　TANG TS'ING-SZ took the lead in proposing resistance. (The writer) NG K ?1- CH'EUNG said, "Great Britain is the richest and most important nation in the world. If an insignificant place like ours should resist the troops of such a great Power, it is easy to see where vietory and defeat would lie."

　　　All present said the cession of the territory is the work of the Company. Great Britain does not know the circumstances.

　　　(The writer) NG KI-CH'EUNG said, "Mr. STEWART LOCKHART was sent as Commissioner by the Imperial Government. We have received the proclama- tion of the Viceroy T'AN. How can it be said that Great Britain does not know the circumstances? Truly nothing can be more unreasonable." All then dis- persed.

　　　On the 24th day (4th April), some drunken men at Tai po took a crowd to burn the matshed. Men from Fan Ling took the card of MAN CHAM-TS'Ux to various villages asking for assistance.

　　　On the morning of the 26th (6th April), the Ha Ts'in district was the first to render aid. TANG HUNG-TS or went with 60 men under his command who were provided with provisions and arms.

On the 27th (7th April) they returned.

　　　On the 28th (8th April), TANG TSING-SZ went to Kam Tin to incite the people there.

On the 29th (9th April), TANG KWOK-LAM and TANG TSING-SZ went to Un Long and stayed at TANG SHING-UN's place. They sent for the writer NG K'1- CH'EUNG three times, but he refused to come. TANG TSING-Ssz then went in person to his house and saw the writer and recapitulated his previous plans (of resist- ance). (The writer) NG KI-CH'EING informed him of recent political events. The writer said, "The natural defences of the Un Long and Sheung U divisions are not equal to those of Formosa; our generalship is not equal to that of Lau WING-FUK (the Chinese General who was defeated by the Japanese in Formosa ). Our resources are not like those of LAM WAI-UN [the millionaire of Northern Formosa who contributed over a $1,000,000 towards the defence of Formosa againt Japan, Translator's note]; we have no outside supporter like CHANG CHIH-TUNG, Viceroy of Nankin during the China-Japan war, Translator's note] yet the Chinese were beaten by the Japanese. How much less are our chances against a rich country like Great Britain with strong forces, powerful ships and effective weapons?"

TANG TSING-SZ and the others then falsely accused the writer of having been bribed by the Company and having been granted a spirit monopoly.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1393

On the first day the T'ai Ping Kung Kuk (lit. Great-Peace-Public - Meeting House) was established, the intention of those who established it being to create a scare by empty bluster; but pretence became reality (.e., at first they did not intend to offer active resistance but only to pretend to do so).

On the 3rd (12th April), (Major) FoxG Ux arrived in a gunboat. The people at Castle Peak stubbornly resisted him with force. The inhabitants of the Shap Pat Heung district refused to send out men. The three large villages (ie., Kam Tin, Ha Ts'un and Ping Shan) inhabited by the Tang clan used coercion saying that if men were not sent the villages refusing would be attacked first, so that the small villages in the Shap Pat Heung district inhabited by those who are not of the Tang clan were forced to comply.

On the 5th (14th April). TANG I-SHEK went to Nam Tau.

On the 6th (15th April), he went to Canton. Each village district sub- scribed 15 taels. (The writer) NG K'I-CH'EUNG said, "It is useless to present petitions to the Viceroy and Governor. Their only answer would be that the demarcation is in accordance with the Tsung-li Yamen map.

All the other villages agreed with the proposal of TANG I-SHEK and the Shap Pat Heung district was compelled to contribute its proportionate share.

TANG I-SHEK took with him 60 taels and has not returned since.

On the 5th (14th April), when the matshed was burnt at Tai po the men present were from Fan Ling and Lam Ts'iin. The men from Kam Tin and Pat Heung arrived after the shed had been burnt.

On the 6th (15th April) when resistance was offered to the Police at Tai po the men present were from the Lam Ts'un, Sheung ? and Pat Heung and Kam Tin

divisions.

On the 8th (17th April) those who offered resistance were from Kam Tin, Shap Pat Heung, and Pat Heung.

On the 9th (18th April), those present were from Ping Shan, Ha Ts'un, Castle Peak, Wang Chau, and the following places outside (the territory): --Sham Chun, Sha T'au and Wai Tak and Ngan Tin in the Tung Kan district. Many were killed and wounded.

On the 4th (13th April), P'ing Shan supplied pigs (for the fighters).

On the 6th (15th April) Ha Ts'un.

On the 7th (16th April) Wang Chau.

This is a true account of the whole matter from beginning to end.

With regard to Tang Cheung-TSAI, TANG TS'ING-SZ and TANG A-NIN of the Ha Ts'un district pointed him out as a traitor. They also said that TANG CHEUNG-

TSAI had taken the iron armour belonging to this district to Hongkong and that they would not rest until he had been killed. They took the card of TANG KWOK- LAM to Ping Shan and applied for some able-bodied men to search CHEUNG TSAI'S house, but TANG Po-WAN being a near relation of CHEUNG TSAI flared up at once, so they desisted.

On the 8th (17th April), he was arrested at Kap Shui Mun and brought back to the meeting-house at Un Long.

The gentry of Ha Ts'un said CHEUNG TSAI belongs to the Ha Ts'un district : let Ha Tsiin deal with the matter. All the other villages raised no objection.

TANG TSING-Sz and TANG CHIK-TING took many of those who came to fight from Ngan Tin and went to Un Long to get back CHEUNG TSAI. This was after the defeat and every one had fled and there was no one in the meeting-house. As to what order TANG TS'ING-SZ gave regarding the inurder of TANG CHEUNG-TSAI (the writer) really does not know the facts.

ENCLOSURE No. 2 IN COLONIAL SECRETARY'S MINUTE OF THE 24TH APRIL, 1899.

(Statement of Tang Kok-lam, Graduate of the 3rd Degree, elder of Kam Tin district.)

On the 17th of the 2nd moon (28th March.) Mr. May wished to erect a police station on the hill behind Ping Shan, the inhabitants of which became ex- cited and appeared to be dissatisfied.

On the 18th (29th March) in the morning a meeting was held in the ancestral temple. After the morning meal the gentry went to Ha Ts'un to meet and discuss the matter.

1394

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

　　　On the 19th (30th March) a meeting was held in the meeting-house at Un Long at which the elders from the five districts were present. A very heated dis- cussion took place, but the writer and NG K'I-CH'EUNG never said a word.

　　　On the 21st (1st April) the gentry of Sheung U division went to Un Long and agreed to join the general movement.

　　　On the 22nd (2nd April) in the early morning the writer went home. All the gentry deliberated until the afternoon but without having arrived at any definite decision.

　　　Unfortunately the incident of the burning of the matshed at Tai po by some drunken men occurred. MAN CHAM-TS'UN wrote applying for help. Ha Ts'in alone replied to the call.

TANG TSING-SZ went in person to my house. On the one hand he moved me by appealing to justice, and on the other hand he worked on my fears by dwelling upon the calamities that would overtake me hereafter. My ancestors having been occupiers of the soil for generations, how could I bear this change? Moreover, I was afraid that the laws and customs of the West and China not being the same many difficulties would arise, and false reports were also spread that cattle and swine would be taxed; that women would be violated; that fishing and wood cutting would be prohibited. The writer was misled by these rumours, which he believed, Another deliberation was held and the matter was finally settled. TANG A- TUNG, of Wang Toi Shun, of the Pat Heung district, proposed that a reward should be issued for the arrest of traitors. I strenuously tried to prevent this; but I was not present at the meeting.

I have always avoided trouble and looked after my own affairs.

　　　But having seen what I thought was the right course to adopt, I boldly fol- lowed it, and many followed my example.

　　　Further, being a graduate of many years' standing my name appears in the correspondence which has taken place, though the matter in question did not pass through my hands.

　　　The trouble having once begun it was impossible to stop it, and being coerced by the majority the gentry became powerless. Fighting began and ended in a disastrous defeat on the 8th (17th April).

　　　On the 9th (18th April) I came to the camp at Sheung Ts'un to yield sub- mission when I was treated with clemency far beyond my deserts.

　　　Unfortunately, the men from the Ping Shan and Ha Ts'iin districts again made resistance (18th April). I did all I could to dissuade them, but not only did they refuse to follow my advice but they abused me and called me a traitor.

This is a true statement of the facts from beginning to end.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1397

Governor to Colonial Secretary.)

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

HONGKONG, 26th April, 1899.

I have read carefully the statements of NG KI-CH'EUNG and TANG KOK-LAM and the various documents translated by you. I have decided to frame a regula- tion giving power to any Police Magistrate, or any Justice of the Peace, to sum- mon before them any person for examination in reference to any offence committed, and, on sufficient grounds being shown, to call upon the person so summoned to enter into security to be of the peace and good behaviour. If a summons be not obeyed a warrant may be issued to compel attendance. I do not consider it advi- sable that any land should be confiscated in connection with the recent troubles.

It seems evident from the statements made that the working of the Company. alluded to more than once has had something to do with the general uneasiness. It has been stated to me by a Member of the Executive Council that he has been informed that a Company or Syndicate was formed some time ago to buy land in the leased area and that the Syndicate bought land at a rate much below its value by representing to the villagers and elders that when the territory was taken over the land would become the property of this Government who would not acknow- ledge any land titles. This, if true, would account for the great uneasiness dis- played and for the ultimate determination to combine and offer resistance to our occupation of the territory. It may not be true, but should be inquired into. I consider it of great importance that the people should be fully informed as to our intention not to interfere with their holding of land, and the fact that this Govern- ment issued a notice that sales of land effected since the date of the Convention would not necessarily be acknowledged should also be freely circulated. Should it come to your knowledge that land was purchased under its value by false repre- sentations, such sales should be declared null and void if the seller so wishes and is prepared to return the consideration paid.

Having regard to all the circumstances preceding the combined opposition, I do not consider it just or expedient that a vindictive retribution should be exacted. Doubtless, clemency may be misunderstood; but the fault has been sharply punished, and the evidence is before the eyes of the people that swift punishment will follow any similar attempt, while the power to impose a special police tax upon a district in the event of crime, for which no person has been made amenable, will, I expect, act as a salutary deterrent.

I am glad that your proceedings up to the present have resulted in the return of the villagers to their work. I hope that the work of the arrangement of the Districts may soon be actively pursued.

HENRY A. BLAKE.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI PO, 1st May, 1899.

Among the Petitioners who came to see me to-day was a man named MA ON- KI belonging to the Un Iu village. I had information in my possession to the effect that he had sold land to the Company, and there was a rumour that he had been compelled to sell it. I accordingly availed myself of his presence to question him. I enclose a copy of the statement* he made before me. If the transaction took place in the 8th moon of last year it cannot be recognised by the Govern- ment in view of the proclamation issued informing the people that no sales of land would be recognised if made after the date of the Convention. But that the seller states he sold the land of his own free will and no threats were you will notice made to induce him to sell it. He also states that the price he received was a fair price and that he does not wish to buy back the land again. When the land question is being investigated it will be necessary to have some rule laid down as to how cases like the present are to be dealt with. The Acting Registrar General might make further enquiries regarding the transaction in question in Hongkong from the Chairman of the Land Company.

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

3rd May, 1899.

　　　I do not see why there should be any interference in such a case as this. Two men of their own free will make a bargain. The only grounds for interference would be a fraudulent statement by the purchaser to induce the seller to part with his property under its value. Our proclamation was intended primarily to apply to land sold by the Chinese Government after date of Convention.

HENRY A. BLAKE.

(Colonial Secretary to Governor.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI Po, 5th May, 1899.

The reason why I forwarded this statement was that there was a rumour here that the man had sold his land compulsorily and under threats and that the pur- chaser had induced the seller to part with his property under its value by a frau- dulent statement. The man's evidence shows the rumour is without foundation.

　　　I understood that the proclamation was issued to prevent all transactions in land. On this point I should be glad to receive definite instructions.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

(Colonial Secretary's Minute of the 3rd May, 1899.)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI Po, 3rd May, 1899.

　　　With regard to the alleged doings of the Land Company to which attention has been drawn, I would submit that it would be best, in the first instance, for the Land Officer here to investigate this matter. He could call upon the land- holders in each district to forward to him any complaints they have to make and he could inquire into them on the spot. If after his investigation a Commission is considered desirable, it could be appointed. I think the truth would be more easily arrived at in this manner than by a Commission composed of members who live far away from the territory and who would have to summon witnesses to appear before them in Hongkong. The summoning of such witnesses would become known and it is not unlikely that they would be got at.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

PING SHAN, 24th April, 1899.

This afternoon a messenger arrived at this village with a bundle of notifica- tions in the name of the Viceroy of the Two Kwong and of the Governor of the Kwong Tung Province. I immediately had him detained and on examining him found that he had been sent by the Magistrate of the San On District to post notifications of the Viceroy and Governor at 12 places in our territory. I attach a copy of the statement made by the man before me: a copy of the order issued by the San On District Magistrate with a translation *; and one of the notifications with a translation.?

　　　　It is a curious coincidence that the date of the notification is the 19th April, when the rebels had been defeated. It is also peculiar that all the places, where the notices were to be posted, are places which took part in resisting the British Troops, with the exception of Kap Shui Mun.

The Viceroy had no right to send notices issued by him into our territory, and both he and the San On District Magistrate should be called to account.

I will detain the man pending further instructions. I will, of course, see that he is properly cared for.

　　　As you will observe from the man's statement he had not posted any of the notices before being detained.

"I am a native of Nam T'an. The San On Magistrate issued the order to one of the Ch'iu Chau 'Braves' who hired me to do his work. His name is "Small- pox NG." There were 14 notices; 2 were taken to be posted at Castle Peak and Kap Shui Mun. I have handed in all the notices I have got. I do not know who took those for Kap Shui Mui and Castle Peak. I have not posted a single notice. I was going to begin at Ping Shan when I was stopped. I came here from Nam T'au to-day by the Un Long pass-boat. I landed at Sha Kong and came direct here.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Colonial Secretary,

A second Proclamation for general information issued by Tam, Viceroy of the Two Kwongs, and Luk, Governor of the Kwong Tung Province.

We have already issued a Proclamation for general information regarding the Kau Lung boundary. We have also on two occasions despatched troops to keep order and have issued stringent orders to Colonel LI SZ-KING and Major FONG UN to co-operate with the Magistrate of the San On district in earnestly explaining matters to the inhabitants so that they may all live together in peace without sus- picion.

We have just heard that on the 7th day (16th April) over a thousand natives fought with the British troops at Tai po Hii; but as to the cause, as to whether any one was injured, as to whether they were bad people within the leased terri- tory, or as to whether they were the remnants of the faction of CHUNG SHUI- YEUNG and came from Chinese territory, we have received no report from the Military Commanders or the District Magistrate.

Now that the Militia has been organized and each district has its gentry and elders, the Military and Civil Officers referred to ought to summon the gentry and earnestly explain to them that this leasing of territory has received Imperial sanc- tion ; that it is clearly laid down in the Convention that the people will not be compelled to remove; that private property will not be expropriated; and that there will be no harsh treatment.

With regard to those outside the leased territory this matter does not affect them in any way. Why should they in disobedience of the Imperial commands create disturbance regardless of their property and their lives? If the people of any other district arm themselves and assist in the fight, their conduct is a still more serious disregard of the Law.

We, therefore, think it is right to circulate this second Proclamation to urge you people to reform the error of your ways and to strive to be good and loyal subjects and so avoid involving yourselves in the meshes of the law.

Let all tremble and obey.

HONGKONG, 26th April, 1899.

HONOURABLE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

With reference to the Viceroy's messenger, release him. He has committed no offence. You were quite right to prevent the posting of notices. Those, if any, posted in Castle Peak District should be removed. The Attorney General has prepared the draft of an Ordinance giving to any Magistrate or Justice of the Peace power on information laid to summon before him any person and, after hearing evidence, to order him to find sureties to be of the peace and good behaviour for a given term or in default to be imprisoned for a term not exceeding six months. I fancy that you are a Justice of the Peace either by Commission or in virtue of your office.

If not, I shall gazette you and antedate your Commission.

I agree with you that a fair rent should be paid for the house occupied by the police. I am glad to learn that you find matters settling down. If the Chinese doctor has returned he might be found useful. There must be many wounded men in the bill villages requiring medical assistance.

I regret very much to hear of the serious injury to Major WATSON, R.A.M.C., from an attack by a buffalo.

I have carefully considered all the circumstances of the murder. With the evidence that you have obtained it appears to me that there will be grounds upon which to offer a large reward for such evidence as will lead to the arrest and con- viction of any of the offenders.

of the offenders. You have the names of several, for whose arrest warrants can be obtained. This will mark very clearly that the law is not dead. The clan or village can always be reached under the system of enforcing payment for special police force. I see it stated that the murdered man was sent in by Government. I did not know this; but even had he been so sent, there was noth- ing to show you that there was the slightest danger to be apprehended. On the contrary, the reports received were to the effect that the people were ready to receive the British rule gladly. The police stations will be proceeded with as quickly as possible. I hope that the arrangements for the administration will soon be begun.

to which I refer are the Castle Peak District, Ha Ts'un District, Ping Shan District, Shap Pat Heung District with Un Long at its head, Kam Tin District, and Pat Heung District.

　　　　Two sets of iron gates, belonging to the Kam T'in District, have been carried by the inhabitants of that district to Flagstaff Hill. This has had an excellent effect. The walls of the villages at Kam T'in have not been pulled down; only the entrances to two of the villages having iron gates have been blown up. Lieutenant BARRETT or Mr. MAY will be able to explain exactly what has been done.

As I informed you yesterday, it is absolutely necessary that a rule should be passed giving power to demand security.

All the arms, &c. surrendered, amounting to 97 pieces, were forwarded to Tai po yesterday. That number is made up as follows:-

40 Spears.

23 Small Guns.

6 Large Guns. 28 Muskets.

It will not be possible to start the executive machinery of Government until I have visited all the important parts of the territory in the same manner as these districts here. This will take some time. I am. of course, making enquiries at each place with a view to dividing the territory into Districts, and consulting the elders on certain points. I will push on as quickly as I can, but there are many things to consider. I trust, however, that we may have a somewhat easier time at other places than we have had here, and I have no doubt we shall, as the people are returning to their usual occupations.

The members of the Police living here are fairly comfortably housed in the same house we have been occupying. They might remain on here, the owner of the house being paid a fair rent. He is quite willing to lend his house, but does not want rent. That is a matter that can be arranged later on, but I think rent should be paid. We have been careful to pay for all supplies, &c. obtained here.

SHEUNG SHUI (NEAR FAN LING),

26th April, 1899.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

We left Ping Shan yesterday morning at 8.30 a.m. and reached Sheung Shui at 3 p.m.

All the villages along the route received us with crackers and had the white flag of submission flying in front of their villages The elders in cach village came out to receive us, and I told them in each instance that all good people would be protected and should return to their work as usual and that disturbers of the peace would be severely dealt with. I requested them to co-operate with the Government Authorities in bringing bad characters to justice.

The elders of the small villages expressed a hope that they would be specially protected from the bullying they have been experiencing from large villages, and I informed them that protection would be afforded to all, whether strong or weak.

The following are the villages through which we passed and at which we were received by the elders:-

1. Sha Po in the Kam Tin District.

2. Pok Wai in the

3. Chuk Un in the

4. Mai Po in the

1404

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

Tso T'au and Lok Ma Chau).

6. Ho Sheung in the Sheung U Division.

7. Sheung Shui

8. Shek U

9. Fan Ling

The two last places were visited after we had reachel Sheung Shui. Petitions have been presented by-

1. San Tin (including Tso T'an and Lok Ma Chau). This is one

of the largest villages in the territory and has a population

of over 2,000 people.

2. Wo Sheung Heung.

3. Sheung Shui.

4. Kam Ts'in and In Kong.

5. Fan Ling (including So Kon Po and Fan Ling Lau).

San Tin, Sheung Shui, and Fan Ling are the largest villages in this part of the territory. The inhabitants of the two latter were very insolent to Mr. MAY when he visited them last month to select a site for a Police Station.

All the Petitions are couched in terms exactly identical with those pre- sented at Ping Shan, translations of which have been already forwarded.

I have informed the Petitioners that they should carry on their various occupations as usual, and tell the villagers, as I have already done, that well- behaved people will be protected and disturbers of the peace punished. I have also told them that the Government expects the gentry, elders, and villagers to co-operate in the maintenance of peace and good order.

I handed to the Petitioners copies of Your Excellency's Chinese proclama- tion and Chinese translations of the Local Communities Ordinance with the request that they would take steps to explain the contents of the latter to the inhabitants. within their District.

I also called upon the Petitioners to surrender all arms in their possession and they have just gone off to bring them. I am afraid they will not be back before Major KOE, who came here last night, has to leave for Tai po to catch the launch which will take this to Hongkong.

I attach a sketch of the Flag hoisted in front of the larger villages we passed, with a translation of the characters on it. The flags in front of the smaller villages are plain white with no characters on them.

I regret to say that Major WATSON, R.A.M.C., was attacked yesterday by a buffalo and severely hurt, but he is still able to discharge his duties and is all the better this morning for a good night's rest.

In the country through which we passed yesterday-we marched about 15 miles from Ping Shan to Fan Ling--we saw men and women carrying on their farming operations as usual and all the inhabitants--men, women, and children-- have returned to their villages through which we passed, and to Sheung Shui, where we are now staying, and to Fan Ling, which we visited last night.

I met Mr. BADELEY, Deputy Superintendent of Police, at Fan Ling, and he is coming on with me to-day to Wo Hang where we intend to stay to-night. To- morrow we will return to Tai po, unless anything unforeseen occurs to stop us. There are rumours here that resistance may be offered in the neighbourhood of Starling Inlet, which we will reach to-morrow.

I am giving Mr. BADELEY all the information I already have and can gather regarding the murder.

I examined, in company with Mr. BADELEY and Colonel THE O'GORMAN, yester- day evening a site for a Police Station near the village at Fu Ti An. One of the leading villagers accompanied us and stated that there would be no real objection to the site we think best, which is admirably situated on a hill, commanding a view of the valley in which we now are and the valley which runs right up to the Sham Chun River.

As regards Police Stations, I think they should be put in hand at once as any delay inay only lead to further trouble.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

REPORT BY LIEUT.-COLONEL THE O'GORMAN ON THE MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE CHINESE HINTERLAND.

TAIPO, 6th May, 1899.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit to you my report upon the operations connected with the taking over of the newly leased Territory, briefly alluding to circumstances preceding the date when hostilities actually commenced."

1. Your Excellency remembers the first incident at Taipo Hi when the Hon. F. H. MAY, Captain Superintendent of Police, (with 9 Sikhs) was attacked by the villagers on erecting some matsheds, and narrowly escaped being murdered. You, with staff, proceeded to the scene of the outrage in Her Majesty's Ship Whiting on the night of the 3rd of April, arriving at 9 a.m. to find the matshed in ashes and that Mr. MAY had left. The measures then taken by you and the Hon. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary, to pacify the villagers and inspire them with confidence in British justice and protection, must be fresh in your memory.

　　　Notwithstanding the clemency shown by you on this occasion, the Taipo people, later on, absolutely refused to allow matsheds or barracks for police to be erected near their villages, and when Mr. MAY again landed, on the 14th ultimo, he found the remaining matshed burnt to the ground, and the people assuming such a threatening attitude that it was necessary to re-embark at once. Finally the situation in the Hinterland became so serious that it was evident that the presence of troops at or in the neighbourhood of Taipo would be necessary a day or two before the date fixed for taking the country under British rule; no active Military resistance was anticipated, but it seemed probable that riots would occur.

　　　2. On the 15th ultimo Captain BERGER, with three Jemadars and 122 Rank and File of the Hongkong Regiment, marched, under your orders, to Taipo for the purpose of forming a camp and making suitable arrangements for the ceremony of the 17th ultimo, the date which His Excellency the Governor had fixed upon for hoisting the British Flag, on our acquisition of the Kowloon Hinterland.

　　　Captain BERGER, on arrival, within about a mile of Taipo, saw that the hills. in the neighbourhood were crowned by Chinese, evidently bent on opposing his advance; he reconnoitred and made suitable dispositions to protect his troops. He states that he countel 6 or 7 banners and estimated the enemy's numbers at 1,200 men; he then steadily advanced towards Taipo, where he meant to occupy a small hill in a good tactical position.

　　　Captain BERGER had very strict orders to avoid a conflict with the Chinese, if at all possible, because the Hinterland had not actually been taken over; he therefore stood on the defensive until the Chinamen had opened Artillery fire upon him at 1,200 yards range and were seen to be approaching with rifles, when he fired some long range volleys which had the effect of inducing them to adopt a more cautious attitude though they still poured in Mortar fire which fortunately fell either short or high overhead. One N.C.O. of the Hongkong Regiment was hit in the foot but not seriously hurt; there was no other casualty on our side.

　　　3. At 6 pm. H.M.S. Fame came into Tolo Harbour. Captain BERGER signalled to the Commander to land a supply of ammunition. Captain LONG, D.A.A.G. (B) came ashore with it and, being the senior Military Officer, assumed command of the troops. Lieut. KEYES, R.N., Commander of the Fame, brought ashore an armed party of Blue Jackets.

　　　　About this time it became evident that offensive action must be taken because darkness was approaching and the enemy were closing in and threatening an attack on our camp and might possibly make a rush during the night.

　　　The dispositions, under Captain LONG's orders, appear to have been admirably conceived and carried out, the result being that the camp was left in peace during the night.

　　　4. Arrangements had been made to establish signalling communications between Head Quarters and the Kowloon Pass, and at about 8 p.m. a message reached you from Captain BERGER, communicating the circumstances of the situation, and asking for re-inforcements. Shortly afterwards I, as your Chief Staff Officer, proceeded to Kowloon to order out 300 soldiers of the Hongkong Regiment under command of Lieut.-Colonel RETALLICK, with directions to be at Sha Tin by daybreak on the 16th and expeditiously to push on to Taipo.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1407

RETALLICK started at 2 a.m., arriving there at mid-day on the 16th. The route over the Kowloon l'ass was bad marching and thence to Sha Tin also bad, but it was known to Colonel RETALLICK and his officers so that no serious difficulty was to be anticipated.

5. Captain SIMMONDS, R.A., with his Company of the Hongkong-Singapore Battalion R.A., arrived about the same time, his guns having been sent round by sea under escort.

6. His Excellency the Governor on the night of the 15th ultimo determined to antedate by a day the hoisting of the British Flag and the taking over the Kowloon Territory in order that he might be in a position to at once assume the power of administering the Hinterland and promptly quell disturbances under the authority of the Queen's Government. The ceremony was performed at 3 p.m. on the 16th April, 1899, under Your Excellency's Military Command.

Before leaving Hongkong on this mission Your Excellency most kindly intimated to me your desire to entrust me with the Command of the Kowloon Field Force whenever you might decide upon leaving Taipo on return to Hong- kong, and at 3 p.m. on the 17th ultimo you handed over to me this command. I have already orally expressed to Your Excellency my gratitude for this mark of confidence in me and beg to reiterate my thanks.

7. I now have the honour to report in detail on the operations that took place after my assumption of Command.

On the 17th ultimo at 4 p.m. very heavy hostile Artillery fire was heard from the direction of Chung Uk Ts'un. Captain BERGER, with 250 men of the Hongkong Regiment, had already gone to Shelter Trench Hill (the Chinese had constructed here a very creditable two hour shelter trench made on orthodox principles evidently under Military supervision) to dislodge the enemy who had taken up a position with guns on the crest of Wa Mi Hill and who had been firing at our camp, at 2,500 yards range, for some time. He swung to the left, entered the village of Fong Ma Po, closely followed by Lieut. BARRETT with a reserve comprising soldiers of the Hongkong Regiment.

BERGER soon became hotly engaged; his force with the Reserve was amply sufficient to meet all eventualities, and I left him full control of the Infantry. He carried out the work in a most praiseworthy, soldierly manner.

I now ascertained that the enemy was retiring slowly in a S.W. direction through the Lam Ts'un Valley keeping up a hot Artillery and Rifle fire. I sent word to Captain SIMMONDS to co-operate with BERGER with his guns. SIMMONDS unfortunately took a wrong turn moving East towards Fan Ling instead of to the S.W. He afterwards explained that he had got his guns to Fong Ma Po; that his coolies were weary; that night was coming on, and that finding that he could not keep pace with the Infantry over the broken ground and believing that his presence in the Fan Ling Valley would lend effectual aid to the Camp and cover BERGER'S retirement; if necessary, he took up the best available position and bivouacked for the night. He had a Company of the Hongkong-Singapore Batta- lion R.A. and a strong escort from the Hongkong Regiment, so his safety was assured.

In a tactical sense it was unfortunate that SIMMONDS had not kept touch with BERGER. His guns would have been very effective in dislodging the enemy from some very strong positions they took up on crests of hills in the Lam Ts'un Valley. As events, however, turned out, the guns were not required, for the Hongkong Regi- ment Soldiers drove back the enemy from hill to hill and working admirably, like true Indian Frontier fighting men, they took full advantage of cover while continuing hotly the pursuit of the foe.

Had this advance not been conducted with great care the loss to our troops must have been heavy.

The Chinese fired almost incessantly for 1 hours, pouring in round shot 35 inches in diameter from muzzle loaders and dropping musketry fire all about our men. Fortunately the configuration of the country favoured cover and our casualties were few.

I regret to say that Major BROWN, R.A.M.C., was slightly wounded in the right upper arm by a spent bullet. He returned to camp at Taipo at 11 p.m. making light of his wound, which rendered his return to Hongkong necessary, and which I now hear has been very painful.

1408 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

　　　Captain BERGER'S Force captured 3 guns and utterly routed the Chinese who. fled over the Lam Ts'un Pass and on to Sheung Ts'un at the head of the Pat Heung Valley, where BERGER, still pursuing, lost touch with them and bivouacked for the night.

　　　8. At 8 p.m. Captain SIMMONDS sent me a messenger asking for food for 3 British Officers and 120 Indian soldiers, also for one blanket per man. I sent these things by coolies under a fairly strong escort. At 8.30 p.m. BERGER applied for ammunition by signal message. I saw that he must have ammunition at all costs as he was in the heart of the enemy's country, so I got 40 soldiers of the Hongkong Regiment, 11 Sikh policemen and all the coolies I could muster and despatched the lot under Mr. MAY, Captain Superintendent of Police, who had very kindly volunteered to proceed in charge.

　　　9. My camp had now only 16 soldiers left in it, so I signalled to Commander DAVISON, R.N., of Her Majesty's Ship Humber in the Harbour, to land an armed party for its protection. This request was promptly acceded to and I felt that

Flagstaff Hill" and the Queen's Standard were safe.

10. At about 10 p.m. firing ceased. I sent an order to BERGER that he must not move beyond his bivouac unless he could co-operate with a force that I thought might possibly be sent out to Castle Peak at daybreak on the 18th ultimo. I sent Your Excellency a signal message reporting particulars up to date. I also wrote in detail the particulars of the previous evening's action so far as they were known to me, and despatched the letter next morning.

11. At daybreak on the 18th April, after consultation with Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary, I determined to push on to Sheung Ts'un to join BERGER, for I knew that the Insurgent Forces had all gone West and that the scene of action, having shifted from Taipo to the Pat Heung Valley, my place should be with the advance at Sheung Ts'un. I informed Commander DAVISON, R.N., of my intention and nominated Major KoE, A.S.C., as the Officer in Military Command at the Base.

12. At 7 a.m. a portion of BERGER'S troops were seen returning to camp, he having left BARRETT with a detachment at Sheung Ts'iin. He had come in to get food and blankets for his men and ammunition. The men had a square meal after which we started, accompanied by STEWART LOCKHART, and pushing on rapidly reached Sheung Ts'un where we found BARRETT all safe. A few rounds from guns had been fired at his men in the early morning but no attack had been made on his position. On the march we passed through the Lam Ts'un Valley where Captain BERGER pointed out to me the details of the previous evening's engagement; he explained the absence of many casualties to our force by the fact that the Chinese kept firing in the direction of the mountain path, believing that troops would not be able to move over the steep hill sides.

They little knew the soldiers of the Hongkong Regiment. When they found out their mistake they became so disconcerted that their fire was wild and practi- cally harmless.

13. On my way to Sheung Ts'un I sent a message to SIMMONDS to join me with two guns at that place. The other two guns were at Taipo Camp.

14. Reviewing this little action, I desire to bring to Your Excellency's notice the admirable manner in which Captain BERGER of the Hongkong Regiment handled the Infantry Force. I had at first believed that he had pushed on too far from hist base and rather feared that the Chinese might have drawn him into an ambuscade but reflection and a review of the situation convinced me that he was quite right. Some seven years' acquaintance with the Chinese character and the poor efforts that the enemy had made on the previous day, together with the knowledge that they were not well armed, must have shown him that the true tactics in dealing with a Chinese foe were to attack and pursue till their flight bad made immediate concen- tration for concerted action impossible.

15. Lieutenant BARRETT also fulfilled his duties with ability and courage.

16. As for the Indian Officers and soldiers of the Hongkong Regiment, their courage and Military bearing under a heavy fire deserve the highest praise; and their natural qualities as hillmen have made them admirable soldiers for frontier warfare in this mountainous region.

Action of Sheung Ts'un.

18.4.99.

1409

17. Captain SIMMONDS' force of 4 guns with escort unfortunately took no part in the evening's action, having gone to Fan Ling under a mistaken appreciation of the enemy's intention; his guns replied to the enemy's in the early part of the day when close to Taipo Camp, and compelled the enemy to move his Artillery from the Wa Mi Hills. I append Captain SIMMONDS' report *for Your Excellency's

information.

18. It is impossible to render even an approximate estimate of the enemy's casualties, for Chinamen always carry away their wounded and dead.

19. I wish to add that in the march to Sheung Ts'un we found the country quiet, but the people showed us no civility, and we found it impossible to obtain coolies or supplies on payment. A sullen acquiescence in our proceedings was

evinced.

20. Arrived at Sheung Ts'un I found that the Hongkong Regiment had taken possession of a court-yard capacious enough to hold 400 soldiers in which they had put dry straw and had made themselves very fairly comfortable. Some had been without much food for nearly a day but speedily made up for lost time on our bringing up their rations.

21. At about 2.30 p.m. a report was made to me that a large force of Chinese was seen approaching. On examining the situation I saw a goodly number in the far distance evidently intent on attacking ns; I ordered Captain BERGER to make preparations to receive these people, directing that only fresh troops should be sent out, the tired ones being left in reserve in quarters. At 3 p.m. BERGER had posted his men in their allotted positions and we awaited the enemy's advance. He came on in three lines and in fairly regular formation over a perfectly level plain on dry ploughed land, waving banners and shouting loudly." It was dis- tinctly a determined advance for Chinamen. They commenced firing at long ranges, the 34-inch diameter shot falling close around us; some rifle bullets were heard but these were few; jingall fire was almost continuous. When within 500 yards BERGER had a couple of rounds fired to make sure of the distance and to see what their effect would be; the Chinamen evidently did not like thein. BERGER then advanced, got his men into a water course well under cover and went straight for the enemy who, on seeing our men, turned and bolted without firing another shot. We made a general advance, keeping up a heavy fire until the active Chinamen had got away out of range. The Hongkong Regiment fired individually and very deliberately. A few of the enemy fell but were carried away by their friends. In my opinion not many of them were hit. Seven men were observed to fall and we saw two corpses in another part of the field later on. I know it is not easy to hit running men at distances beyond 600 yards, but considering the number of rounds fired the enemy's casualties were, I believe, slight. No man was hit on our side though several had narrow escapes, shot falling within a few fect of them. SIMMONDS' guns had not arrived from Fan Ling and therefore did not take any part in to-day's action.

We pursued the flying enemy for some distance and then halted and collected the arms they left on the plain. Some seven pieces of small calibre Artillery, a quantity of jingalls and a few old fashioned rifles were picked up.

22. I cannot claim any merit for having inflicted only, as I believe, small loss upon our enemy in this action, but I am heartily glad that not many of thein were killed or even hit; these rebels were mostly misguided creatures, badly armed and untrained to war, a foe utterly unworthy of a soldier's steel.

23. I believe the enemy's force was pretty considerable on this occasion and that they staked their all on the issue. Their intention was to press home and crush us believing in the vast superiority of their numbers and in a certain vic- tory. The Chinaman had no idea of the power of the modern rifle and no heart to come to close quarters; he made no attempt at a stand.

This defeat shattered their confidence in their warlike attempts and I then felt sure they would not again assume the offensive or openly resist our arms. Subsequent information revealed the fact that 2,600 men took part in this action, and there is good reason to believe that, at least, one-third were men who came from beyond the British boundary.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1899.

The Viceroy of Canton might well be called upon to explain the, presence of these men. If he did not send them he certainly must have connived at their assist- ance in the revolt.

24. I now consulted Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, who had been present at the action, about the advisability of blowing down some walls of the Kam T'in Villages, situated about 2 miles from the scene of the action. He entirely concurred in the desirability of blowing up the gates of the Fui Sha Wai village. We marched there at once, warned all women and children to leave the village, which they did in considerable numbers; a few old men also came out and "kotowed," but no young ones; they were probably among those who had been defeated at the action. and were still on the run and far away over the hills.

Our two sappers applied some slabs of gun cotton to the walls and so effectually that the explosion made a large breach of crumbled bricks and mortar, bringing down the iron gates. We tried a like effect upon another wall, but its thickness, 5 feet, was more than our supply of gun cotton was equal to tackling and that, combined, perhaps, with haste necessitated by advancing night rendered the demolition less effective.

　　　　After this we returned to quarters, some 5 miles distant, arriving at 9.15 p.m. and finding there SIMMONDS and his guns. He reported having blown down the gates of Sheung Wai.

　　　　25. Lieut. HILLMAN and 37 men R. N. had arrived with a convoy of provisions for our men, but nothing for officers.

26. After consultation with STEWART LOCKHART we started early, marching through the Pat Heung Valley (the scene of the previous afternoon's encounter). left 45 soldiers at Sheung Ts'un, to be joined in a couple of hours later by 35 men from Taipo; detached a hundred under BERGER to reconnoitre the hills in the direc- tion of Ts'un Wan; and with 2 guns and 200 rank and file of the Hongkong Regi- ment and the R.N. detachment (who by the way were terribly sore at missing the little engagement at Sheung Ts'un and were pining for a go" at the enemy we advanced through Kam Tin to Un Long, where a few old men came to "kotow." We entered the village, got hold of some of the elders, and Mr. STEWART LOCKHART addressed them, endeavouring to remove the feeling of disquietude evidently prevalent among them. All this neighbourhood was full of rowdies who stirred up revolt throughout the district, terrorizing the peaceful inhabitants and compelling them, under pain of death, to take up arms against the British. Plausible arguments were used by them that under British rule heavy taxes would be levied, their civil and religious liberties destroyed, etc., etc. Many of the villagers had lost friends and felt they had been duped, but their passions had been roused and a couple of days were insufficient to allay their anger.

Thence we marched to Ping Shan where we rested awhile, found an excellent house for the men, another for officers, capital drinking water and some very good flour for the troops. The officers also got a meal which was truly acceptable after day and a half with practically nothing but rice and a little Chinese sugar. STEWART LOCKHART and I pushed on to Ha Ts'un village 2 miles off, taking 20 men and resting the remainder at l'ing Shan to which place we returned after dark.

　　　　27. The affair at Sheung Ts'un ended the Military Campaign, but sullen resentment was depicted in the faces of the people and, though they grovelled, I knew that the embers of revolt only smouldered and that the presence of a Mili- tary Force was essential to restore order.

The elders who "kotowed" to us declared that "there were no arms in the village, those which were seen there last year, having been taken off by the insur- gents. Lieut. BARRETT, however, when bathing in a stream hit off 6 small pieces of ordnance, which had evidently been thrown there on our approach, and STEWART LOCKHART found powder and newly made bullets in one of the temples.

　　　　28. I gave the men a day's rest-well deserved; they had ample food, were well housed and declared themselves quite comfortable.

　　　　29. Late in the evening I heard that Major MORRIS, R.A., with some guns and an escort of the Hongkong Regiment had arrived at Kam T'in and had pro- cecded thence to Taipo, where I sent him Your Excellency's orders to embark and return to Hongkong.

30. The Naval detachment returned to-day and I intimated to DAVISON that his assistance could now be dispensed with, thanking him for the aid he had so promptly rendered in a time of need.

31. At about 2 p.m. Mr. STEWART LOCKHART received a petition from a woman and her son praying for redress on account of the murder of her husband and the boy's father. Her statements were that TANG A CHEUNG, her husband, had been sent from Hongkong about the middle of the month, with the Governor's Proclamation with instructions to distribute copies in the villages in the P'ing Shan, Un Long, and Kam Tin Districts. On arrival near Un Long he was seized and kept a pri- soner for a day and a half. In the meantime certain ringleaders sat in council at the Un Long Meeting-house and, after deliberation, they hired a man to murder him. The unfortunate creature was cruelly beaten, shot (3 wounds in the body'), tied in a pig basket and thrown into a creek.

32. By 10 a.m. a large number of elders of many villages assembled to pre- sent petitions praying for mercy and forgiveness. They assured us that they had been led away by bad characters, that they sincerely repented of their errors, and promised future good behaviour. All day long petitions kept pouring in and men gave voluntary evidence betraying the origin of the revolt, the names of the ring- leaders, and the measures taken by them to stir up a rising.

33. We proceeded to Un Long in the afternoon. We found some damning documentary evidence in the Meeting-house. We returned to camp about dark.

34. Proclamations were issued by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART assuring the people of our desire to protect them and directing all the villagers to return to their houses and resume the cultivation of their lands. By every possible means we endeavoured to restore order and confidence and with success far beyond our hopes.

35. It now became evident that a large force in the interland had become unnecessary, and when Your Excellency ordered me to reduce my numbers to 200 men, "unless grave and urgent reasons to the contrary should exist," I felt that, in complying, the reduction would not imperil the safety of our position.

36. A few days later I recommended a still further reduction to 100 men, a measure which Your Excellency approved.

37. It seems unnecessary to chronicle in detail the unimportant events that Peace had been restored in succeeded my return to Taipo on the 27th ultimo. the Western portion of the district, and with judicious treatment it was fair to assume that a like confidence would soon be felt in British good government in the Northern portion of the Territory. These anticipations are being realized to the full. Petitions have been presented from some 200 villages in the New Terri- tory.

38. To the Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary, is due the admirable results that have been attained in the Civil administration of this Territory during this brief state of turmoil; his measures have been taken with great energy and ability and in a manner that, long experience has shown him, were suitable to the occasion. The result has been a most complete success.

Only those on the spot can realize the amount of labour and care he has devoted from early morning till late at night to the discharge of these trying

duties.

A most hearty co-operation has existed throughout between us and no differ- ence of opinion on any one point has arisen.

39. In conclusion, I wish to say that great care has been taken to keep the Troops in good health and that the Medical Officer with me, Major WATSON, R.A.M.C., has assisted most efficiently to this end.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

(Colonial Secretary's Minute of the 11th May, 1899:)

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

TAI Pu HU, 11th May, 1899.

On arrival at Sheung Shui on the 25th April last, I caused the house of LAU WAN-KUK, who was absent from the village, to be searched, as I had reason to believe he had taken a leading part in organising the resistance against the British in the Sheung U District.

In his house were found the following documents of which I attach copies and a translation*:--

Book B gives a list of the villages which subscribed towards the pur-

chase of arms.

Book C shows what grain, &c., was sent to the Temple at Shek U near

Sheung Shui.

Book D gives an entry of moneys received.

Book E contains entries of payments made."

Book F contains an account of payments made for carrying letters, and among the payments are those for letters conveyed to Wong Pui Ling: U Pni: Lo U: Heung Sai: Ts'oi Uk-wai: Sheung Po: Shat'aukok: Wong Kong: and Shat'au, which places are outside our boundary, as will be seen on reference to the Sketch Map, which I attach.

From Sheung Shui I proceeded to Fan Ling, where I met LIU WAN-KUK. made a statement of which I attach a translation.?

From Fan Ling I returned to Sheung Shui and on my way caused the "Governor's Temple" at Shek U to be searched. That temple is used as a meet- ing-house. A heap of papers was found in an incense burner, the papers having been torn into small pieces. I had the pieces collected and carefully put together. The result is the correspondence? (Nos. 1-10) of which I attach a translation. The correspondence is in the handwriting of LIU WAN-KUK.

　　　Letter No. 8 in this correspondence is interesting as showing that Sham Chun in Chinese territory was a centre of organisation. This must have been known to the Chinese officials there.

The translation of the accounts, No. 10,§ corroborates Book F and shows that active communication was being maintained between Sheung Shui in our territory and the places shown in the sketch map,* in Chinese territory, which are under- lined in the translation.

"No village in our Division is allowed to export grain.

§ Not printed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 26TH AUGUST, 1899. 1413

Our Division, the Sheung U Tung, and your Division, the Un Long, have been disturbed by the barbarians in a most insolent manner. You say that on the 8th day (17 April) there will be a great battle when our forces will collect at three points. I presume this is true. I am afraid we will not be able to resist them. Your District and ours are adjacent and united by bonds of kinship. We must help one another and render mutual support so as to avoid endless disaster.

Excuse my suggesting that you should not stand by with folded arms.

I have received your letter and noted its contents. The villages in our Division have not decided on any plan of warlike operations and our commissariat and arms are insufficient [not prepared]. I think that it will be very difficult to determine a plan of resistance. But we look up to your Division and whatever regulations you may make we will follow.

I have received your letter and noted its contents. The villages in our Division have no plans. Moreover, our commissariat and arms being insufficient, how can we offer effective resistance? We request your Division to decide on the plan of campaign and we will follow your instructions.

The Sheung U Division has spent 14 dollars for the conveyance of letters which expense should be defrayed by the 4 clans-Liu, Tang, Hau, and P'ang. Very little now remains of the Committee's funds. The subscription of $3.50 which is to be paid by each clan please draw from the Man Shek-tong's public fund and hand the amount to A PING to bring here to meet current expenses. The Hau, Tang, and P'ang clans have already paid their subscriptions, but the Liu clan has not yet done so and I anticipate there will be difficulty about it.

To my eldest nephew.

Dated 8th day (17th April).

SHI TAI (ie., LIU WAN-KUK).

NOTICE.

Now that the various villages in our Division have resisted the English and as their weapons are most effective, it is feared some will not be able to escape them. If any one is even slightly wounded he will be molically treated until he has completely recovered.

On receipt of this pay 30 cents to A PING for wages for work done.

To my nephew A TIM.

Dated 7th (16th April?)

SHI TAI (ie., LIU WAN-KUK).

The clans of our Division have met and decided to proceed to-morrow to the (Tung Ping Kuk at) Sham (Chun) to ascertain what plans have been decided on by the various clans. We therefore specially write to inform you and to request that the gentry of your Division will come to-morrow to our Division, so that we may all proceed together by which the sentiments of our two Divisions may be manifested. We trust that you will make a point of coming. We shall be very much obliged.

The Un Long Division states that there are 3,000 fighting men coming to our territory to unite with the villages in our territory in offering armed resistance. If this is true I entreat you to remove the flag of submission which I understand you have hoisted so as to prevent the men of the lower part of our Division from

availing themselves of this as a pretext to again create trouble which would be awkward for us. You young people should reflect before you act.

ENCLOSURE No. 2 IN COLONIAL SECRETARY'S MINUTE OF 11th May, 1899.

The Statement of Liu Wan-kuk.

On the 1st of the 2nd moon (12th March), I returned from Canton to my home (in Sheung Shui). On the 20th (31st March) a letter from TANG TS'ING-SZ, of the Un Long Division, arrived for my nephew (LIU) IN-U summon- ing the gentry of the villages in the Sheung U Division to meet on the 21st day (1st April) in the Un Long Division to discuss matters. My nephew (Liu) In-U therefore specially told me to proceed thither in a chair to see what was in- tended. I went to the meeting-house in the Un Long Division with HAU FUNG- KAI, PANG TAK-MAU, MAN LAI-TONG and TANG A-FUK. There were also present in the meeting-house the gentry of P'ing Shan, Kam T'in, Ha Ts'un and Shap Pat Heung who took part in the discussion. They said, "What regulations have you made as regards the Sheung U Division?" We replied, "The Sheung U Division "has made no regulations of any kind. If you say you are going to resist we "will most certainly refuse to comply. Great Britain and the Emperor of China "have decided regarding the leased area and a boundary has been delimited, the "territory within which is to be under British jurisdiction. We therefore could not

on any account presume to offer resistance.'

On the 22nd day (2nd April) we took our leave, and I and the others who came with me returned to our homes.

On the 1st of the 3rd moon (10th April), the Un Long Division made a great show of force, and stated in a most peremptory manner that if we refused to join in the resistance of the British thousands of men from the Un Long Division with arms would proceed to level to the ground the villages belonging to the Liu, Tang, and Pang families. The Sheung UDivision was therefore com- pelled on the 3rd day (11th April) to request the Hau, Liu, P'ang, Tang, Man clans to meet in the temple dedicated to a former Governor of the Kwong Tung province. There it was decided to raise a small public subscription so as on the one hand to prevent our Division from being disturbed and destroyed by the Un Long Division, and on the other hand to prevent rowdies from other places avail- ing themselves of the opportunity to create trouble and to plunder. It was also "decided that the various villages in our division should have their trainbands (or militia) in readiness so that we should not be unprepared, should occasion arise, and be powerless to check disorder. Our Division was the victim of cir- cumstances which we could not prevent. Our trainband (or militia) was in- tended solely for the protection of the old and young in our Division.

　　　This is a true statement of the facts of the case and I dare to swear before heaven: "If I have stated anything false may the gods of heaven and earth visit me with such punishment as I may deserve.'

CIRCULAR.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

21st June, 1899.

　　　It will doubtless be within your recollection that towards the close of 1897 a representative Con- ference assembled at Berlin to discuss the question of the origin and spread of leprosy, and the means by which the disease might best be averted or arrested.

　　　2. The conclusions of the Conference have been published in two volumes, which have already been communicated officially to several Colonies. These conclusions will be found stated in an English translation on pages 191 and 192 of Volume II. of the Report; and a copy of this extract is enclosed for your information.*

　　　3. As my predecessors in this Office had always been guided on a subject of this kind by the advice of the Royal College of Physicians, I caused a letter to be written to the Council of that body asking that the College would be so good as to take into consideration the conclusions of the Berlin Conference, and to inform me how far their previous views as to the character of leprosy had been modified by further investigation and by the proceedings of the Conference at Berlin.

4. The College of Physicians referred this question to a special Committee which has, now sub- mitted the Report of which a copy is enclosed: from it you will see that they have very considerably modified their previous opinion as to the extent to which leprosy can be communicated by contagion,

　　　5. In these circumstances, it becomes necessary for me to review the instructions and suggestions which my predecessors have addressed to Colonial Governments upon this question.

　　　6. In a Circular despatch of the 29th of April, 1867, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos called the attention of Colonial Governments to the fact that the Royal College of Physicians considered that leprosy was not contagious, and requested each Government to take steps for the abrogation of

law or practice which existed for the compulsory seclusion of lepers.

any

　　　7. Lord Kimberley's Circular despatch of the 16th of September, 1871, was directed towards removing fear of transmission of leprosy by vaccination.

8. In a later despatch of the 4th of September, 1873, Lord Kimberley, dealing at some length with the whole subject of leprosy, clearly indicated that no sufficient evidence had up to that time been produced in support of the belief which prevailed in many Colonies that leprosy was contagious.

9. In 1875 the possibility that leprosy was sometimes contagious was strongly pressed upon Lord Carnarvon by the Governor of British Guiana, and the subject was once more referred to the Royal College of Physicians, with the result that they adhered to the opinion which they had pre- viously expressed that leprosy was not contagious.

　　　10. The subject was again brought before the College in 1887, when they still maintained the view that there was no ground for the opinion that leprosy was in such a degree contagious as to justify compulsory segregation of those affected by the disease, although they did guardedly admit that in a low degree and under exceptional circumstances the disease might be considered to be contagious.

　　　11. This view it should be added was confirmed by the special Commission which was sent out to India to investigate the nature and causes of leprosy in 1890-1891, a copy of whose Report accom- panied Lord Ripon's Circular despatch of the 14th August, 1893: the members of the Commission reporting to the effect that "though in a scientific classification of diseases leprosy must be regarded as contagious and also inoculable, yet the extent to which it is propagated by these means is exceedingly small" so as not to justify compulsory segregation.

　　　12. By the opinions of the Royal College of Physicians, supported as far as could be gathered by the best medical experience, successive Secretaries of State have hitherto been guided in respect to proposals for the segregation of lepers in the various Colonies not possessing responsible Government, and laws or regulations tending to compulsory isolation have almost invariably been forbidden or discouraged in these Colonies, although in the case of certain self-governing Colonies, legislation for the compulsory segregation of lepers has received Her Majesty's assent.

　　　　　13. In view of the change of opinion which is embodied in the recent report of the Royal College of Physicians, it is impossible any longer to press upon any Colonial Government the policy which has hitherto prevailed.

14. The principle of restraining lepers from following various callings which may bring them into direct contact with the public has already been recognised, and a suggestion to that effect is con- tained in the Report of the Indian Commission of 1891: but when it is proposed to enfore a system of compulsory seclusion, it will readily occur to you that a great number of difficult questions will arise, and that no measures directed towards that end should be adopted without the most nature considera- tion.

　　　　　15. I am aware, for instance, that in some Colonies leprosy is by no means confinel either to the native races or to destitute members of the community it may attack persons who enjoy every means of securing for themselves proper isolation and medical treatment; and it would be a grave offence against public liberty to enact any law which did not safeguard all such persons against an inquisitorial interference with their homes.

16. In this connexion it should be remembered that whatever may be the opinion as to the contagious nature of the disease, there is no question that it is fostered or ameliorated according to the conditions of life obtaining in any particular community. It may be permissible to apply to a community of low intelligence herding together in insanitary conditions a regulation which would be intolerable amongst persons who can sufficiently prevent themselves from becoming a public danger.

17. It seems to me, therefore, that in any law embodying the principle of compulsory segregation there should be provisions based upon Section 124 of the Public Health Act of 1875 (England), which requires that the compulsory isolation shall be on an order of a justice, to whom is submitted a certificate signed by a qualified medical practitioner (now invariably the Medical Officer of Health) to the effect that the person in question is suffering from the disease in question and is" without proper lodging and accommodation," and requires also the falfilment of certain other conditions before the Act can be put in operation in any particular case.

18. It is further admitted that leprosy is in its earlier stages exceedingly difficult to diagnose, and it will be most necessary in considering any compulsory legislation to introduce effectual safe- guards against the law being put in operation in cases of mere suspicion of disease.

　　　　　19. I do not propose in the present despatch to lay down any hard and fast rules which should guide Colonial Governments in dealing with this very delicate matter, but no legislative action should be taken without the Bill being previously submitted to the Secretary of State with full explanations which will enable him to examine into all its details, and, if necessary, to consulting the leading experts on the subject.

20. As at present advised, I am inclined to favour the plan of regular leper communities where, as far as possible, family life can be enjoyed, an 1 the atmosphere of home may prevail over that of the prison such settlements appear to afford the best chance of arriving at some sort of satisfactory solution of the main difficulties which beset the question of compulsory segregation, although the question of providing for cases of healthy children born froin leprous parents might occasionally have

ENCLOSURE No. 1.

At the close of the debates of the International Leprosy Conference, Berlin 1897, the Secretaries have the honour to present the following short report of the general conclusions of the Conference.

They believe that such a resume will be especially desirable for those members who have been delegated by their respective Governments, and who have to make reports on the results of the Conference.

　　　　As might be expected, a considerable portion of the discussion has related to the bacillus Leprae. which the Conference accepts as the Virus of Leprosy, and which for upwards of 25 years has been known to the scientific world through the important discovery of Hansen and the able investigations of Neisser.

The conditions under which the bacillus grows and develops are still unknown, as well as the way of its invasion into the human system; but from the discussions of the Conference, it seems probable that an unanimity of opinion will soon prevail in reference to its modes of subsequent dissemination within the human body.

1446

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1899.

Very interesting observations have been brought forward in connection with the elimination of the bacilli in large quantities by means of the skin and the nasal and buccal mucous membranes of lepers; it is desired that such observations be confirmed where opportunities occur.

The question is of very great importance to those who are entrusted with the care of the public health, as leprosy is now acknowledged to be a contagious disease.

　　　Every leper is a danger to his surroundings, the danger varying with the nature and extent of his relations therewith, and also with the sanitary conditions under which he lives.

　　　Although among the lower classes, every leper is especially dangerous to his family and fellow workers, cases of leprosy frequently appear in the higher social circles.

　　　The theory of heredity of leprosy is now further shown to have lost ground, in comparison with the at present generally accepted theory of its contagiousness.

up to the present time.

The treatment of leprosy has only had palliative results up to the Serum therapy has so far been unsuccessful.

In view of the virtual incurability of leprosy and the serious and detrimental effects which its existence in a community causes, and considering the good results which have followed the adoption. of legal measures of isolation in Norway, the Leprosy Conference, as a logical issue of the theory that the disease is contagious, has adopted the following resolution proposed by Dr. Hansen and amended by Dr. Besnier.

1. In such countries, where leprosy forms foci or has a great extension, we have in isolation.

the best means of preventing the spread of the disease.

2. The system of obligatory notification, of observation and isolation as carried out in Norway, is recommended to all nations with local self-government and a sufficient number of pyhsicians.

3. It should be left to the legal authorities after consultation with the medical authorities to take such measures as are applicable to the special social conditions of the districts.

Committee appointed by the College, October 27th, 1898, to consider the following Communication from the Colonial Office :-

Sir,

Downing Street,

25th October, 1898.

　　　　With reference to your letter of the 16th of August, 1887, communicating to this Department the opinion of the Royal College of Physicians on the subject of Leprosy, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain to request you to be good enough to move the College to consider and report whether, in view of the Report of the Conference on Leprosy held at Berlin in October of last year, they have found reason materially to change their previously expressed opinions, or to modify the advice which they have given to the Secretary of State, either as regards the question of segregating lepers, or on any other point which is of practical importance in the regulation of the disease in Colonies where Leprosy is endemic.

Your Committee beg leave to report as follows :---

1447

　　　　　That the communicability of Leprosy, by direct or indirect means, from Lepers to the healthy, must now be accepted as an established fact, the evidence in support of this belief being conclusive; and that there is no evidence of the disease arising or spreading in any other way.

　　　　　Your Committee are therefore of opinion that the conclusions stated in a Resolution unanimously adopted by the Internationa! Conference on Leprosy held at Berlin in October, 1897, and set forth at page 194 of the Official Report of the Conference, ought to be accepted in their entirety, and acted upon where Leprosy is endemic, or occurs under the conditions indicated in the first paragraph of the Resolution, which is as follows:-

(Translation.)

1. In all countries in which Leprosy occurs in foci, or is widely distributed, isolation is the best means of prevent-

ing the spread of the disease.

2. The system of compulsory notification, supervision and isolation, as carried out in Norway, should be recom-

mended to all nations possessing local self-government and an adequate number of Physicians.

3. It must be left to the legally-constituted authorities, after consultation with the sanitary authorities, to deter-

mine the special regulations, which must be adapted to the special social conditions [of each country]. But your Commitee would dwell with especial emphasis upon the last paragraph of that resolution, recommending careful consideration of the social and political conditions of each particular country.
