NOTE.-Where in ships already fitted the required cubic contents of boats placed under davits is provided although by a smaller number of boats than the minimum required by this table, such ships shall be regarded as complying with the rules as to boats to be carried under davits.
(c.) Not less than half the number of boats placed under davits shall be boats of sec. A or sec. B of rule 1 of the general rules.
(d.) The remaining boats may also be of such description or may, in the option of the shipowners (or master), conform to see. C or sec. D: provided that not more than two boats shall be of sec. D.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JANUARY, 1900.
(e.) If the boats placed under davits in accordance with the foregoing table (A) do not furnish sufficient accommodation for all persons on board then additional wood, metal, collap- sible or other boats of approved description (whether placed under davits or otherwise) or approved life-rafts shall be carried, one of these boats may be a steam-launch; but in that case the space occupied by the engines and boiler is not to be included in the estimated cubic capacity of the boat. Subject to the provision contained in paragraph (g) of these rules such additional boats or rafts shall be of at least such carrying capacity that they and the boats required to be placed under davits by table (A) provide together in the aggregate in vessels of 5,000 tons gross and upwards, three- fourths, and in vessels of less than 5,000 tons gross, one-half more than the minimum cubic contents required by column 3 of that table, and for this purpose three cubic feet of air case in the life-raft is to be estimated as ten cubic feet of internal capacity: Provided always that the rafts will accommodate all the persons for which they are to be certified under the rules and also have 3 cubic feet of air case for each person. All such additional boats or rafts shall be placed as con- veniently for being available as the ship's arrangements admit of, having regard to the avoidance of undue incumbrance of the ship's deck, and the safety of the ship for her voyage. (/) 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.
(9.) In addition to the life-saving appliances before mentioned, ships of this class shall carry not less than one approved life- buoy, (rule 11 (?.) 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 there 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.
Class II.
Rules for sea-going ships not certified to carry passengers. (a.) Ships of this class shall carry on each side at least so many and such boats of wood or metal placed under davits (of which one on one side shall be a boat of sec. A or sec. B and on the other side shall be a boat of sec. A, or sec. B, or sec. C of rule of the general rules) that the boats on each side of the ship shall be sufficient to accommodate all persons on board. They shall have proper appliances for getting the boats into the water,
(b.) They shall carry approved life-belts as required for ships
of class I.
(e) They shall carry not less than six approved life-buoys,
(rule 11 (a.) or 11 (.), of general rules).
Class 111.
Rules for steam-ships having special licenses as river steamers under sec. 38 of this Ordinance.
(a.) Ships of this class shall, according to their tonnage, carry boats placed under davits as required by the Table for ships in class I.
(.) If the boats placed under davits in accordance with the above requirements do not furnish sufficient accommodation for all persons on board then additional boats or approved life-rafts shall be supplied as for ships of class I. (c) Provided that if (having regard to the avoidance of undue incumbrance of the ship's deck and to the safety of the ship for her voyage) it is not practicable for a ship of this class to carry additional approved boats or approved life-rafts as required for ships of class I, the deficiency so caused may be made up by the supply of an equivalent number of approved buoyant deck seats or other approved buoyant deck fittings to the satisfaction of the Government Marine Surveyor. (7.) 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 Bules.
(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 having 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- any apparatus must be attached to the outside of the boat.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JANUARY, 1900.
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 boat 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 × 85 X 35 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 1 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 oars.
(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:-
(a.) With the full (single banked) complement of oars, and two
spare oars.
(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.
In order to be properly equipped each boat of sections A and B, in addition to being provided with all the requisites laid down in rule 5, shall be equipped as follows. (But not more than four boats in any one ship require to have this outfit) :-
(a.) With two hatchets or tomahawks, one to be kept in each end
of the boat and to be attached to the boat by a lanyard. (b.) With a mast or masts and with at least one good sail and
proper gear for each.
(c.) With a line in loops run round the outside of the boat and
securely made fast.
(d.) With an efficient compass.

(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 sca 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 decmed 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.

1. The space to be provided on the between decks shall be for the lower passenger deck 12 superficial and 84 cubic feet of space for each passenger; and for the upper passenger deck 9 superficial and 54 cubic feet for each passenger. 2. On the upper or weather deck there shall be provided 4 super- ficial feet of deck space for exercise for the crew and for every passenger accommodated on the passenger decks; and if it shall be intended to carry passengers on the remaining spaces of the said weather deck then 12 superficial feet of such remaining space shall be provided for each such upper deck passenger.
Between the 1st of June, and the 14th of October, inclusive:-
3. The space to be provided on the passenger decks shall be in accordance with the first paragraph of this table, but no ship shall carry upper deck passengers except as hereinafter pro- vided, unless she is furnished with a deck house or other per- manent protection against the weather for the number of passengers such structure will accommodate at 12 superficial feet and 72 cubic feet per adult passenger.
(b) Foreign Trade.
In the case of a passenger ship which is employed in trading or going between Hongkong and some place or places situate beyond the following limits, namely, the Coast of China, Formosa, Cochin China, and the Philippine Islands :-
1. The space to be provided under the poop or in the round house or deck house or on the upper passenger deck shall be not less than 15 clear superficial feet of deck allotted to the use of each statute adult passenger, and on the lower passenger deck not less than 18 clear superficial feet of deck allotted to each statute adult passenger.
Provided that if the height between the lower passenger deck and the deck immediately above it is less than 7 feet, or if the apertures (exclusive of side scuttles) through which light and air are admitted together to the lower passenger deck are less in size than in the proportion of 3 square feet to every 100 superficial feet of that deck, the ship shall not carry a greater number of passengers on that deck than in the proportion of one statute adult to every 25 superficial feet thereof. 2. On the upper deck or poop or deck house there shall be provided 5 superficial feet of deck space for exercise for every passenger accommodated on the passenger decks and under the poop and in the deck house; and if it shall be intended to carry passengers on the remaining spaces of the said upper deck or poop or deck house then 12 superficial feet of such remaining space shall be provided for each such upper deck passenger.
Generally.
Deck passengers may be carried only within the limits prescribed above for the Coasting Trade and between the 15th October and the 31st May inclusive.
Deck passengers may be carried between Hongkong and Swatow during both seasons.
Passengers are not to be carried on more than two decks on any one voyage.
The superficial area of a deck shall mean the area of the deck itself exclusive of skylights, hatchways and other encumbrances.
No part of the cargo or of the passengers' luggage or of the provi- sions, water or stores whether for the use of the passengers or of the crew shall be carried on the upper deck or on the passenger decks unless the same is so placed as not to impede light or ventilation or to interfere with the comfort of the passengers nor unless the same is stowed and secured to the satisfaction of the Harbour Master: and the space occupied or rendered unavailable for the accommodation of the passengers shall (unless occupied by the passengers' luggage) be deducted in calculating the space.
There shall not be more than two tiers of berths on any one deck.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1899 to His Excellency the Governor. My fifteenth volume of " Observations and Researches" was published last autumn, and the sixteenth volume is now being printed. It contains the usual astronomical, meteorological, and magnetic observations.
2. Mr. FIGG has analysed his weather-forecasts for the past four years on the system explained in the Annual Report for 1896 § 5, with the following results :-

The comparison of weather-forecasts with the weather subsequently experienced in 1899 was as follows:
Success 61%, partial success 33 %, partial failure 5 %, total failure 1%.
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 in 1899.
3. 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 91 days in 1899. The Red Drum was hoisted 2 times, the Black Drum 3 times, the Red South Cone 3 times, the Black South Cone 2 times, the Red North Cone 0 times, the Black North Cone 2 times, the Red Ball 0 times, the Black Ball 2 times. The Gun was not fired in 1899. No printed bulletins were circulated in 1899.
4. On the 8th April, 1898, the telegraphic reports from Bolinao (Luzon) ceased as the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company's station was removed from there. On the 15th September reports commenced from Malate and Capiz, and on the 22nd from Tuburan. Reports ceased from Tuburan. on the 27th October, from Malate on the 15th November, and from Capiz on the 24th November. On the 22nd May, 1899, telegraphic reports from Malate, Iloilo, and Bacolod, and on the 9th June
152 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1900.
from Cebu commenced, with instruments supplied at the cost of the Hongkong Government. The observations are made by the staff of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company.-From Japan tele- graphic reports are received from Tokio, Kochi, Nagasaki and Kagoshima, and since July, 1898, also from Oshima, Naha and Ishigakijima. In fact returns from Naha had been received for some time previous to that date. All these telegrams are almost invariably received too late. From Formosa telegraphic reports were formerly received from the Chinese Government, but irregularly and too late. The Japanese Government improved matters greatly but still the returns were too late till the begin- ning of November, 1899, when the service was accelerated. The stations are Taihoku, Taichu, Tai- nan, Koshun, and Pescadores.

5. Telegraphic connection between the Observatory and Hongkong was interrupted on the 4th May, 1899, from noon to 2 15 p.; from 6.45 a. on the 3rd June, to 12.12 p. on the 4th; on the 5th, from 7.6 p. to Midt; from 2.15 p. on the 10th to 8.40 a. on the 12th ; on the 13th from 7 a. to 8.30 from 7.15 p. on the 13th to 7 a. on the 14th; from 7.5 p. on the 14th to 7 a. on the 15th; on the 15th, from 7.5 p. to 7.40 p.; from 10 p. on the 16th to 7 a. on the 17th; from 7.45 p. on the 17th to 6.50 a. on the 18th; from 7.10 p. on the 20th to 6.50 a. on the 21st; from 7 p. on the 21st to 6.45 a. on the 22nd; from 8 p. on the 22nd August to 7.45 a. on the 23rd; on the 24th, from 6.15 a. to 2.5 p.; from 6.45 a. on the 15th September to 10.57 a. on the 16th; from 5 p. on the 27th December to 5 p. on the 28th. Interruptions occurred therefore on 22 days, and, of course, also during thunder- storms. There was no telephonic interruption between the Peak and the Observatory during the year except during thunderstorms.
6. During 1899 in addition to meteorological registers kept at 40 stations on shore, 2195 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 261. The total number of days' observations (counting separately those made on board different ships on the same day) was 19455.
7. The following is a list of ships from which logs have been obtained in 1899. The majority are steam ships, and the others are distinguished as follows:-bk., barque; sh., ship; bqt., barquen- tine; sch., schooner :-Airlie, Alacrity (H.M.S.), Algerine (H.M.S.), Amara, Ambria, Amerigo Vespucci, Antenor, Ariake Maru, Arizona, Arratoon Apcar, Australian, Babelsberg, Ballarat, Bamberg, Barfleur (H.M.S.), Bayern, Belgian King, Bengal, Benlarig, Benvenue, Bombay, Bormida, Boston (U.S.S.), Candia.

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 3 barometers were verified. In addition, several hundred barometers and aneroids on board ship were compared with our standard.
10. The mean values of the spectroscopic rainband (1-5) in 1899 were as follows :--January 1.58, February 1.93, March 1.80, April 2.40, May 2.23, June 2.77, July 2.74, August 2.36, September 2.03, October 1.32, November 1.40, December 1.68. Year 2.02.
11. In 1899 the number of transits observed was 4890. The axis of the transit instrument was levelled 245 times, and the azimuth and collimation were determined 38 times by aid of the meridian mark erected in 1884. All these observations have been reduced by Mr. J. I. PLUMMER.
12. The sidereal standard clock has been practically untouched throughout the whole year. On August 15 the platinum points of the contact springs were cleaned, but this was done without inter-

fering with the going of the clock or the adjustment of the springs themselves. Subsequently a shunt was introduced into the circuit which works the relay in order to prevent any spark occurring at these points. The standard mean time clock has likewise been going without interruption, a little additional oil being added to parts of the movement on November 16. The rate of this clock at the present time is not satisfactory. The time-ball clock was cleaned on February 25.
13. The errors of the time-ball are given in Table II. There were seven failures in 1899. The ball is not dropped on Government holidays. Upon March 14th it was under repair, and upon October 21st the Chinese assistant omitted to take the key of the time-ball tower with him. It was dropped successfully 340 times. The causes of the failures mentioned above are as under:-On February 28th a particle from the buff used in cleaning the platinum points on February 25 pre- vented actual contact and there was therefore no discharge current, on March 13th, the piston jambed between the tooth and the back of the cylinder, on June 22nd a corroded wire in the coil of the dis- charge circuit, on June 24th during the repairs attempts were made to drop the ball by means of hand apparatus but failed, on September 4th the piston would not rest on the tooth owing to the spring at the back of the lock having become slack, on September 5th the lock did not discharge owing to the fault on the previous day having been over-corrected, on December 17th no discharge current, proba- bly the clock had not been put in circuit. The probable error was in January± 0.09, in February +0.22, in March ± 0.09, in April± 0.13, in May ± 0.13, in June ± 0.27, in July ± 0.10, in August 0.16, in September ± 0.09, in October ± 0.11, in November± 0.09 and in December
±0.10.

14. Mr. J. I. PLUMMER determined the time and took charge of clocks, chronometers, chrono- graph and the time-ball. Mr. F. G. FIGG issued weather-forecasts and storm-warnings, and made magnetic observations. Miss DOBERCK, who was on leave during five months, attended to marine meteorology. The native assistant, under close supervision of Mr. FIGG and myself, attended to the meteorological instruments and the construction of meteorological tables, assisted by the native staff of computers and telegraphists.
15. The cisterns of the barograph and standard barometers are placed 109 feet above M.S.L. The bulbs of the thermometers are rotated 108 feet above M.S.L., and 4 feet above the grass. The solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height. The rim of the rain-gauge is 105 feet above M.S.L., and 21 inches above the ground.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1900.
16. The monthly Weather Reports are arranged as follows :-
155
Table I. exhibits the hourly readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water, but not to sea level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the barograms.
Table II. and III. exhibit the temperature of the air and of evaporation as determined by aid of rotating thermometers. Table II. exhibits also the extreme temperatures reduced to rotating thermo- meter by comparisons of thermometers hung beside them. Table III. exhibits also the solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum temperatures reduced to Kew arbitrary standard.
Table IV. exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation and mean tension of water vapour present in the air in inches of mercury, for every hour of the day and for every day of the month, calculated by aid of Blanford's tables from the data in Tables II. and III.
Table V. exhibits the duration of sunshine expressed in hours, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour (true time) named.
Table VI. exhibits the amount of rain (or dew) in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. It exhibits also the estimated duration of rain.
Table VII. exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles and its direction in points (1-32). The velocity is measured from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named, but the direction is read off at the hour.
Table VIII. exhibits the amount (0-10), name (Howard's classification) and direction whence coming of the clouds. Where the names of upper and lower clouds are given, but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds. 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 formule, and also the mean direction of the wind.
Below this is printed a list of the phenomena observed.
17. The following annual Weather Report for 1899 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 606 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on
121 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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1900.
Appendix A.
Magnetic Observations made during the year 1899, and Comparison of Magnetometers.
The observations of declination and horizontal force published in Tables XI and XII were made with inagnet No. 55 on Kew pattern unifilar magnetometer Elliott Brothers No. 55 and with magnets 83 and 83A on magnetometer No. 83. The dips were observed with dip-circle Dover No.
71.
The times of vibration 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 value of log 'K for 25° Cent. (determined in 1898) was for No. 55 3.44901±0.00009, for No. 83 3.44851±0.00009, and for No. 83a 3.46870±0.00004. The induction-coefficient is for No. 55 5.189±0.055, for No. 83 5.151 ±0.084, and for No. 83a 6.160±0.084. The temperature-coefficients of the magnetic moments are as follows:-
No. 55 :+0.000260t + 0.00000244t2 (Hongkong 1886)
No. 83 : +0.000283t + 0.00000102?2 (Kew 1897)
No. 83A: +0.000384t+0.00000166t (Kew 1897)
The mean value of the magnetic moments were for No. 55 581.51, for No. 83 762.06, and for No. 83A 676.34.
The horizontal forces in Table XIII observed with No. 83 have been corrected by the subtraction of .00064, and those with No. 83A by subtraction of .00037 in order to reduce them to No. 55. The uncorrected means of observed values of horizontal force were for No. 55 0.36676, for No. 83 0.36740, and for No. 83A 0.36713.
All forces are expressed in C.G.S. units. The vertical (Y) and total forces exhibited in Table XIII have been obtained from the observed dips. The mean values of the dip obtained with needle No. 3 was 31°29′.08, with No. 4 31°29′.55, with No. 7 31°28′.63, and with No. 8 31°30'.19. No corrections have been applied to the dips observed with the different needles.
do
In September the horizontal force was determined with Collimator magnet 55 used in magneto- meters 55 and 83 alternately. The result obtained in the latter exceeded the value obtained in the former by 0.00040, which agrees with the value by which the mean of the two horizontal forces obtained by the magnets 83 and 83A in magnetometer 83 exceed that obtained with 55 (0.00052 in 1898 and 0.00051 in 1899). The values of m x obtained from vibrations agree. The values of not agree. The cause lies with the deflection bars. The bar belonging to 55 is certified to be correct throughout. The apparent distance from centre of instrument of graduation on bar belonging to 83 marked 30 cms is 29.990, and that marked 40 cms is 39.990 according to the certificate, and those corrections have been applied here. But when the two deflection bars are placed beside each other it is seen by the naked eye that these corrections are wrong. It is presumed that the bar belonging to 55 is right. It may be suspected that all the disagreements that are found between the results obtained with different magnetometers are caused by defective determination of the constants of the instruments.

Owing to the extension of the foundation of Fort No. 3, vessels should pass at a distance not nearer than 2 cables at the north and the west, and 3 cables at the east and the south, from the Staff Light on it.
Chart 2657.
Sailing directions for entering Jesselton anchorage, Gaya Harbour.
From British North Borneo Official Gazette.
JESSELTON ANCHORAGE, GAYA HARBOUR.
1. All vessels of more than 10 feet draft should approach from the Northward passing midway between Gaya Island and Sapangar until Sapangar Island opens out from Gaya Head bearing N. 3° E.
Then steer South (True) until Gaya Island East end opens out from Tanjong Aru bearing S. 23° W. (True).
You are then in a direct line with a white beacon plainly visible marking the extreme end of a reef extending Eastwards from Pulo Plom Pong.
Pass this beacon about one cable off on starboard hand.
You will then easily see the red beacons marking Normanhurst Reef on port bow and the white beacons marking Haynes Reef right ahead.
Ac. to pass midway between these two reefs and steer straight for the wharf.
Chart 2111.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1900.
From U.S. Flagship "Brooklyn."
Beginning at the southern entrance :
1. Narvaez Bank buoy is missing.
2. Southern buoy on Lipata Bank is missing.
3. Northern buoy on Lipata Bank is missing.
CEBU HARBOUR.
4. Eastern buoy on Lipata Bank has been shifted 1 cable to westward of position indicated on chart.
5. Point Lanis buoy has been shifted 1 cable to the northward and eastward of position on chart.
6. The midway buoy on Maktan Island reef is 1 cable south of its chartered position.
7. Kanit Castle buoy is missing.
167
8. W. S. W. from Kanit Castle and at a distance of 200 yards, there is an island not charted, 20 feet above mean low water, triangular in shape, apex towards and abreast Kanit Castle. The island is 500 yards long, general trend S. S. E. to N. N. W., and 300 yards wide.
9. Buoy off Fort Cebu is missing.
10. Buoy on Maktan shoal, east of Fort Cebu is missing.
11. Buoy on Bamban Mayor shoal is missing.
12. A shoal exists off Mondani, dangerous for small vessels bound for that place, bearing S. by W. W. (mag.) from Mondani Church, distant three cables. At low water 2 feet were found on the shoal.
13. Buoy off Maktan shoal, south of Mondani Tower, is missing.
14. A shoal was found, bearing E. by S. 7 S. (mag.) from Mondani Tower, distant 2 cables, having 2 feet at low water. The banks of the shoal are steep, depth of water increasing to 3 fathoms in a distance of 12 feet, normal to the channel. The shoal extends some distance beyond a line connecting the buoys placed to eastward and westward of Mondani point. It is safer in passing out of the Northern channel, to hold the Maktan shore, a line from White Tower, open to buoy east of Mondani Tower, lying in deep water.
15. Buoy on Maktan Island off Post House has been shifted 7 cables east of its charted position and now lies on the edge of Maktan Island shoal, bearing W. S. (mag.) from Vantay Point Light, distant 5 cables.
16. Buoy marking western entrance of bay or Cebu shore has been shifted 1 cable's length SSE. from its charted position.
17. Buoy south of Bagakai Pt. has been shifted 34 cables south of its charted position.
18. Light on Vantay Pt., Maktan, burns regularly.
19. Light on Bagakai Pt., Cebu, burns regularly.
20. Light on Fort Cebu is incorrectly indicated on the chart, it is placed on the SE. salient of the fort. The light is very inferior.
Charts 2578, 943, 2391.
There is an uncharted shoal about 3 miles cast of the southern end of Malopascua Island, the position of which was determined by sextant angles and plates on Admiralty Chart No. 2577, as follows:-
Chocolate Island bore W. § S. (mag.) distant 7 miles.
Malopascua Island (southern end) bore W. & N. (mag.) distant 3 miles.
Gato Island bore N. W. § W. (mag.) distant 11.5 miles.
The shoal was partly developed, extending north and south for about 5 cables, east and west 3 cables, the northern end having least water, 54 fathoms being found, bottom hard sand strewn with lumps of coral. Deep water surrounds the shoal, 75 fathoms having been obtained between it and Malopascua Island. The shoal lies about 13 miles to eastward of the course for steamers bound for Cebu, laid down on Admiralty Chart No. 2577.
LINGAYEN GULF.
There is a reef situated two miles further south of San Fernando Point, in Lingayen Gulf, than is indicated on Admiralty Chart No. 2454.
KATANDUANES.
Pt. Sialat has several rocks off it, extending to the westward about mile. Agajo Pt. has a long spit extending from it to the southward about one mile. The bottom in front of Kalolbong shelves from 50 fathoms about 2 miles from shore, to 11 fathoms about mile from shore, where there is an anchorage protected from W. by S. through north to E. S. E.
PORT LAMPON.
Port Lampon is a good anchorage with protection from every direction except S. E. protection from all winds, as they can go well inside.
Jomalig Island is not in the position shewn on the chart and could not be seen from there.
PORT OF MARIKABAN.
Small vessels can find good.
The Port of Marikaban at the northwest corner of the Island has one entrance to the northward and one to the eastward. The water is very deep and vessels tie up to the beach. The turn to go out of the castern entrance is very sharp. This is not a good port for a vessel of any size. There are said to be two shoals off the entrance, one (shewn on the chart) to the eastward, and one off Sombrero Island to the westward. The port is entered heading S. by W. straight for
the middle.
CURRENT OFF CAPE BOJEADOR,
Off Cape Bojeador with a very fresh northeast monsoon blowing there is a current of about 1.5 knots to northward. Off Badog and Salomague Islands and Point Dile there is a 1·5 knot current at each setting N.E.
SAN MIGUEL BAY.
A reef extends 1 mile west from Siruma Island. Outside of this is a rock (not shown on the chart) just above water and about 1 miles from shore.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1900.
COTTABATO.
Good anchorage in from 3 to 5 fathoms may be had to the northward of the northern mouth of the Rio Grande, with Mt. Cabalata and Colina de Tumaco in range (S. 19° W. mag.) and the southern end of Bongo Island (N. 83° 30′ W. mag.). The above anchorage is on a bank and should be approached carefully as the water shoals suddenly from over twenty fathoms to five fathoms. The chart of this locality is incorrect, the above range when plotted on the chart, shewing the ship's position apparently well inland.
Near the mouth of the river and oftentimes well out at sea, are found numerous small floating islands, composed of grass and debris of all kinds, and logs often of considerable size are frequently seen in this locality.
POLLOCK HARBOUR.
There
Pollock Harbour is an excellent harbour, well sheltered, with an easy entrance, but with great depth of water. are two iron buoys anchored off the mole, the inshore one in 12 fathoms, the offshore one in 17 fathoms. The rings of these buoys are too light, and too badly rusted, and their moorings too uncertain to enable them to be used as mooring buoys. Vessels may pass between them and get good anchorage in 15 fathoms to the southward and westward of a line between these buoys at sufficient distance to swing clear. There is a framework for a light, at the edge of the reef off the mole, but the use of the light has been discontinued.
DAVAO.
Davao, the town, situated a short distance up the river is small and of but little importance. Off the mouth of the river close in shore, no bottom could be obtained at 20 fathoms. Good anchorage in from 17 to 19 fathoms can be found a little more to the westward on the following bearings, Light tripod N. 4° 30′ E. mag.; left tangent Dunalag Island S. 51° 30′ W. mag.; right tangent Talient Island S. 28° 30′ E. mag. The light has been discontinued.
MATI.
Mati, at the head of Pujada Bay, is small and unimportant. The water is very deep, making it necessary to stand close in shore for an anchorage. Anchorage in 15 fathoms was found with the end of the wharf bearing N. 26° W. mag.; and Maboa Point S. 63° E. mag.
The Spanish charts were found to be in places quite incorrect. Latitudes seem to be fairly accurate but longitudes are sometimes several miles out. The western coast of the S.E. peninsular from the Rio Grande to Tuna Bay seems to be charted several miles too far to the westward. The passage between Sarangani Islands, and the mainland of Mindanao presented no difficulties, though made first at night. The coast line of the Gulf of Davao scems to be fairly correct.

A BILL
ENTITLED
An Ordinance to authorize the imposition of fees for the issue by the Government of Hongkong of certain certificates to certain Chinese.
BE it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-
1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as the Short title. Chinese Certificates (American Possessions) Fees Ordinance,
1900.
2. For each certificate issued by the Government of this Fee for Colony to Chinese officials, teachers, students, merchants, certificates. or travellers for curiosity or pleasure, who are desirous of proceeding to any port not in the United States of America but which is in the actual possession of the Government of the said United States, there shall be paid to the Registrar General a fee of twenty-five dollars, which he shall pay into the Treasury.
3. The Chinese Manila Fees Ordinance, 1898, (No. 28 Repeal of of 1898) is hereby repealed.
Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Bill is to authorize the imposition of fees for certificates granted to Chinese desirous of proceeding not only to Manila but to Hawaii or to any other ports outside of the United States of America although in the actual possession of the United States Government.
Ordinance No. 13 of 1898, already deals with fees for certificates for Chinese going to the United States, and it is thought that the simplest course is to repeal Ordinance 28 of 1898, which deals only with fees for certificates for Chinese going to Manila, and to practically re-enact that Ordinance in wider terms.

The following Protest by the Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD against "The Summoning of Chinese Ordinance" (No. 40 of 1899), and the Colonial Secretary's Memorandum thereon, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 15th instant, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 16th February, 1900.
F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.
SIR,
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER,
HONGKONG, 11th January, 1900.
I was unavoidably absent from the meetings of the Legislative Council on 21st and on 28th ultimo at which the Bill entitled "An Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General," No. 40 of 1899, (copy of which is sent herewith), was read a second and third time and passed. If I had been present I would have voted against the second as well as the third reading of the Bill, divided the Council on the question and if over-ruled, as I probably would have been, I should have lodged a formal protest against the decision of the Coun- cil, laid on the table a statement of reasons in support of my Protest (under Rule 32 of The Standing Rules and Orders of the Council), and required the Govern- ment to forward that Protest for your consideration.
2. On learning that the Bill had been passed I wrote to His Excellency the Governor asking him not to put the Ordinance in force until your approval had been obtained, and I protested against the Ordinance as unconstitutional; but His Excellency refused to accede to my request, and the Ordinance is now in operation. I enclose copy of my notes dated 28th and 29th ultimo, and of His Excellency's replies.
3. Under the circumstances I deem it my duty to now give you a statement of my reasons for dissenting and my views on the subject of this Ordinance.
4. Sub-section (i.) of section 2 empowers the Governor at any time to direct. the Registrar General to enquire into and report as to any matter which is con- nected with the New Territories, as defined by section 2 of Ordinance No. 12 of 1899, if such matter exclusively concerns persons of Chinese race whether British subjects or otherwise. Section 2 of Ordinance 12 of 1899 reads:-
{
"The expression new territories' as used in this Ordinance shall mean the "additional territories acquired by this Colony under the provisions of a
.6
(:
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."
5. Sub-section (ii) of section 2 gives the Registrar General unlimited power to summon before him any Chinese (whether a British subject or otherwise) who appears to him to be able to give information regarding any matter connected with the New Territories on which the Governor thinks fit to direct an enquiry, civil or criminal.
The Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
Secretary of State for the Colonies.
214
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
6. Section 3 requires every Chinese so summoned to answer all questions which the Registrar General may ask him, and to produce to the Registrar Gene- ral, or to some person deputed by him, any books, documents, or other written matter; it permits the inspection of any property, and it gives powers similar to those vested in the Supreme Court of this Colony in regard to administering oaths to witnesses and examining witnesses on oath. Any person wilfully giving false evidence on oath before the Registrar General shall be liable upon summary con- viction before a Magistrate to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months with or without hard labour, or to the payment of a fine not exceeding $200 (Two hundred Dollars) which may be recovered by distress.
7. Sub-section (i.) of section 4 empowers the Registrar General to issue his Warrant for the arrest of any person omitting to attend when summoned, such Warrant to be executed by a Police Officer or Constable in the same manner as if it had been issued by a Magistrate. Every person so arrested shall be liable upon summary conviction before a Magistrate to the payment of a fine not exceeding $10 (Ten Dollars), &c.
8. Sub-section (ii.) of section 4 gives power to a Magistrate, on the applica- tion of the Registrar General, to order that the rents and profits of the Property, of any person absconding or concealing himself so that a Warrant against him can- not be executed, shall be attached until such time as such person shall appear before the Registrar General in obedience to such Warrant. All or any of the rents and profits so attached may, if a Magistrate in his discretion shall so order, be forfeited to the Crown, &c.
9. The object in view in passing this Ordinance and the reasons which have appeared to His Excellency the Governor to justify the conferring of such very extraordinary and highly unconstitutional powers on the Registrar General are fully set forth in the speech of His Excellency in the Legislative Council when the Bill was before the Council on its second reading. I enclose a copy of said speech from the local Hansard, a publication which has the advantage of having its reports of speeches in the Council corrected by the speakers. According to His Excellency's statement the sole object of the Ordinance is to enable the Chinese residents in the New Territories to be compelled, under penalties, to give all particulars about their holdings and titles, some reluctance having been shown by the inhabitants in registering their lands and attending when summoned by the Registrar General to receive his explanations on the subject. The inhabitants of the New Territories have been slow to come in and register their lands. The cause of this slowness is supposed to be due to their ignorance and their suspicions as to the possible dangers to themselves if they register. The Government is naturally desirous of enlightening their ignorance, dissipating their suspicions, and have invited the men to come into Hongkong and have their difficulties explained away. May I point out that the Government when inviting these poor people (and they are mostly all of the very poorest of the agricultural class) to come into Hongkong has never offered to pay either the cost of their passage to and fro, nor the expenses of their detention in Hongkong, nor any compensation for any loss of their time? Many of these men would have a journey of ten or fifteen or twenty, or even more, miles over hills or by sea. It has not been made clear that the Government has done everything that was reasonably possible to do to enlighten the men by proclamations posted in their respective villages or by the publication or distribution of leaflets. These people are amongst the most ignorant of the population around Hongkong, and it is not unnatural that they should have held aloof and refused to travel into Hongkong at their own expense. There is no allegation that the inhabitants have, when asked for information which the Government had a right to have, refused to give that information. It would appear they have only refused to come into Hongkong to have the situation
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 215
explained to them, and that, I submit, may be due to the expense entailed in travelling to Hongkong. I would, therefore, ask your special attention to the particular evil the Ordinance is intended to correct, and to the character of the remedy to be applied to it.
10. The main object of the Ordinance is to enforce on the Chinese in the Colony's New Territories the registration of their lands and the disclosure of their title deeds. It is, no doubt, intended to operate in conjunction with the survey of the New Territories now being made, and with the special "Land Court" now in course of constitution for the settlement of all claims in connection with land in the New Territories. A Bill entitled "The New Territories Land Court Ordinance was read a second time on 30th November, 1899.
11. This Ordinance places in the hands of the Government an inquisitorial power far exceeding that possessed by any tribunal or by any judge. It infringes in every possible direction on the recognised rights and liberties of the subject. It exposes a man to the most serious consequences, civil and criminal. It enables an interrogatory to be pushed into inatters hitherto beyond the reach of all investigation by the law; it may compel a man to criminate himself or to disclose his title. The power is without any limitation, and there is no limitation whatever as to the subject matter of the enquiry. It is not confined to matters of general interest or of public policy with reference to which ordinarily a Government seeks to obtain information by means of a Commission. If this were the sole purpose there is an Ordinance in force (No. 2 of 1889) which gives a Commission power to take evidence on oath and to punish falsehood. It is not confined to civil matters exclusively; it may therefore be used at the instigation of the Captain Superintendent of Police to enable him to conduct, through the Registrar General, a secret enquiry into a man's conduct with a view to a criminal prosecution. A man may, under the operation of this Ordinance, be compelled to criminate himself and to answer questions which the highest Criminal Court in the Empire has not the power to put and would not allow the Attorney General to put. A man may, when before the Registrar General under this Ordinance, be compelled, contrary to the very first principles of the administration of Civil Justice, to disclose his title deeds and all the defects in his title to his lands, all his books, letters and accounts and papers, and that to a possible opponent and in anticipation of litigation. Such secret enquiries are conducive to excite against the Government in the highest degree the suspicions and distrust of the Chinese who in their business affairs are constitutionally secretive. The widest powers of Discovery entrusted to the highest Court in the Realm do not extend so far. No man is compelled to disclose his affairs except in a suit properly instituted, under the protection of clearly defined laws, under the supervision of trained Judges and only in so far as such discovery can legitimately aid his opponent's case.
No man is compellable to disclose his own case. The unlimited powers given by this Ordinance may be used in aid of a civil suit to which the Government is a party. The person examined has no right to legal assistance or advice and has no power of appeal to any Court for the ordinary protection afforded by the law and by every Court to persons under examination. The power is without any limitation and it is placed in the hands of a person who may be wholly unfit to exercise it. If given to one of the Judges it would be objectionable. The power is given to an official who may be, and who often is, without the knowledge or training necessary for the judicious exercise of such power. Comparatively junior members of the Civil Service not unfrequently find themselves in the position of Acting Registrar. The Registrar General's Department with the mass of Chinese influence around it is the least qualified of any Public Department to exercise such a power. It can never be impartial. The authority to enquire is given secretly. There is no publication in The Gazette as in the case of a Commission. It need not be with
216 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
reference to a matter of public or general interest. It may be some matter solely affecting individuals and individual interests. The alleged reasons for this Ordinance The Ordinance confers being passed are inadequate to explain or justify it. powers which no Court possesses; it gives unlimited powers to be exercised by an untrained man who may be a very junior officer, in secret and without appeal, and such officer may be, and almost necessarily must be, largely in the hands of the Chinese in his department. It invests him with summary power to inflict. serious punishment. It is so extensive and unlimited in its powers, so unguarded in the exercise of these powers that it is capable of the gravest abuses.
12. It may be well to here recall that the Registrar General's Department was formerly entrusted with somewhat similar powers in connection with Brothels and so abused those powers that after enquiry they were taken away by Ordinance No. 2 of 1876.
13. The following remarks made by the Senior Representative of the Chinese, the Hon. Dr. Ho KAI, in Council on 25th March, 1891, are not wholly pertinent to the present subject but they contain so much that elucidates what I have herein- before said that I quote them :-
"It is very easy to get Chinese to come to one's office, especially the
(6
(6
Registrar General's Office, and get them to say what one wants, "for on asking them certain questions, they, observing the same "deference that they pay to officials of their own nation, will simply say 'aye, aye,' to every question addressed to them, although at the same time they do not agree with the opinion expressed. It is a "matter of notoriety that they will not contradict official remarks. "As I am here to represent the Chinese, the Government has "nominated me, and I hope I represent them, I must say I wish "when the Registrar General wishes information he would get it in "a fair and just manner, allow the Chinese to come together in open "meeting and then give the result arrived at, instead of taking opinions given under, I will not say the terror, but the peculiar feeling with which they come before a high official."
66
So far these statements have not been controverted.
14. There is no provision in the Ordinance for payment to the person summoned of his expenses in coming to Hongkong, of his stay in Hongkong, of his return-no compensation for his loss of time. Surely, if the Government has any legitimate enquiries to make it should carry out those enquiries on the spot in the village to which they refer. At home it may be difficult to realise how important this is to a Chinese peasant.
It creates a

The Ordinance imposes heavy penalties on any Chinese (whether a British subject or otherwise) not attending on receipt of the summons or refusing to answer or produce documents, or giving false answers to any ques- tions asked. I submit that this Ordinance is not only unconstitutional and unne- cessary but it is impolitic and calculated to create disaffection. The Government has adequate powers of enquiry without it. If for any purpose further powers are required they should be strictly limited in their scope in accordance with law and be safeguarded in their exercise in every way. The party to be examined should have the protection afforded by a power to appeal to some properly constituted tribunal. The proceedings should be public and not secret. This is desirable, if not necessary, in view of the alleged land jobbery in the Colony's New Territories

DEAR SIR HENRY BLAKE,
I returned this morning from my short holiday a day sooner than the leave applied for and granted owing to pressure of business, which latter prevents my attending the Council meeting this afternoon.
I understand the Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General will be read a third time to-day. This is, I submit, a most important measure and imparts larger powers to the Registrar General than any possessed by the Supreme Court. It is, in my opinion, Class legislation and thoroughly unconstitutional. The Bill is being hurried through the Council with undue and unnecessary haste, and I earnestly appeal to Your Excellency to postpone the third reading for a week to give time for further consideration.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 219
Were I able to be present at the meeting I would further move that a suspending clause be added whereby the Secretary of State's sanction would be required before the Ordinance could become law. In haste.
Yours very truly,

My letter of yesterday in re the Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General was sent to the Council Chamber. By some mistake it was not delivered to Your Excellency there but forwarded from there to Government House.
I see the Ordinance has been read a third time and passed. May I beg you not to bring it into force immediately as I propose to address the Secretary of State and protest against the Bill as unconstitutional and as a mischievous piece of Class legislation. In this protest I shall ask the Chinese Members of Council to join. Yours very truly,

I wrote to you immediately on receipt of your letter saying that the Ordinance, which I considered expedient and advisable, had been read a third time. I have reason to believe that the Chinese Members of Council were satisfied with the

I think the observations of the Honourable Members who have just spoken. are very much to the point, and I think it is only right that not alone the Council but that the Chinese people in the New Territory should have some idea why this Bill is introduced by the Government at the present time. The condition of the New Territory is peculiar. The Chinese do not understand our ways, and we desire-I desire most heartily-to interfere with the Chinese and their customs as little as possible, but it is absolutely necessary that the land in the New Territory should be registered. Of co rse, all Members of the Council know that in the in- terests of the Chinese themselves it should be registered; but for some reason, probably some suspicion which I hope will be removed in the course of time, the Chinese have not been for some time as anxious to register their land as they might be, and for a considerable time we have found great difficulty in getting the Chinese to come forward and give any information about their land or about re- gistration. It then became necessary to approach the Chinese through their elders, their leaders, for the purpose of explaining why it was necessary that land should be registered. However, on more than one occasion when these Chinese elders had been invited to come in they gave no attention whatever to the invita- tion. Such conduct under Chinese jurisdiction--refusing when invited by a high official to come in and assist him and give him information-would not have been tolerated for an instant. would have been taken had the people remained under Chinese jurisdiction, but we do wish to get the power to compel their attendance and to inflict a small fine in case they disobey the summons. As to the observations of the Honourable Gentleman with reference to the supervision, so to speak, of the exercise of this power, the Honourable Member will see from the second clause that "The Gov- ernor may at any time direct the Registrar General to enquire into and report as to any matter which is connected with the New Territories as defined by section 2 of Ordinance No. 12 of 1899. if such matter exclusively concerns persons of Chinese race, whether British subjects or otherwise." The Registrar General will only summon Chinese to come before him in certain cases into which he is direct- ed by the Governor to enquire. Therefore, in no case can there be any action whatever without the direction of the Governor, and I think the Honourable Mem- ber will accept my assurance that the Ordinance will be carried out with every consideration for the Chinese and with every anxiety on the part of the Govern- ment that we shall never be forced to bring the provisions of the Ordinance into operation at all. I think that when it is known that we have power to compel the attendance of these people who do not up to the present appear anxious to come forward, the Chinese will yield gracefully to the necessity and come in when invited without our having to resort to this power. With reference to the suggestion of the Honourable Member that this Bill should have a duration clause, I think it is a very fair suggestion. I shall have no objection whatever to it. I hope that in a short time the necessity for any such Ordinance as this will disappear.
We do not propose to take the stringent measures which

Some years ago, the suggestion was made that a Royal Commission should be appointed to enquire into several questions connected with the recently acquired territory at Kowloon. The reason advanced for a Royal Commission was that certain parties were so mixed up in the affair that if strict impartiality were desired the enquiry should be made either judicially or by upright men free from local connections or prejudices. In other words, to use plain Anglo-Saxon, rank land jobbery is alleged to be one of the causes of the Colony's troubles in the New Territory. This is likely to prevent the Colony, while burdened with all the addi- tional expense of policing and managing the New Territory, from deriving that benefit from its new asset which was prophesied by the Honourable C. P. CHATER and the other original advocates of extension. On the 8th April last, the Hong- kong Government Gazette contained the Queen's Order-in-Council of October 20, 1898, relating to the New Territory, also the Local Communities and Tribunals Ordinance providing for the administration, with the necessary rules and regula- tions. There is also His Excellency the Governor's proclamation fixing the date. of placing the newly-leased territory under this administration as from April 17, 1899. In making such a change from unwritten law and custom to the British agis, it was an imperative necessity that the people concerned should be fully informed of the change in their status, in order to prevent ill-founded fears as to the security of their lives, liberty and possessions. The position was this. A population of about 100,000 people, more or less, of three distinct races, permeated with tradition, superstition and inbred dread and distrust of officialdom, who had been allowed to rule themselves through their village councils without interference by the District Magistrate unless there was a chance of squeeze and exaction, was turned over to an alien system whose impartial justice they certainly will not believe in until convinced by ocular demonstration of such authority. To this end, in order to avoid any apprehension on the part of these people, "half savage and half child," as to the effect the change would have on their lives, liberties and possessions, it was enacted that the transfer to British rule should be made clearly known to them by placarding the villages. This, we are bound to believe, as loyal British subjects, actually took place. Something else also took place, as one of the men engaged (or supposed to be engaged) in posting these placards was seized at or near the village of Un Long, and was condemned to death by the elders of the adjoining villages. He was killed on the 17th or 18th May by certain men, who received "blood money" or "luck money" from one of the elders. His murderers were tried, convicted, sentenced to death, and executed. Had the Government taken the advice tendered them at the outset and supported their pla- carding with a demonstration of force, the lives of these poor, ignorant, misguided natives, and of their victim, would not have been debited to the British occupation.
So far, the facts in connection with the murder are clear. The men were given a fair trial. before an impartial judge and jury of their fellow-citizens; they were convicted and sentenced under British law. But what follows is not so clear. It is freely asserted by the people concerned that a sum of money was paid into a local bank, for the benefit of the murdered man's (Tang Cheung's) family, and that this was done by order of the British Authorities, the apportionment being as follows the villages of Kam Tun, Un Long Toong, Ping Shan, and Ha Tsun paid $150 each, and the family of Tang Tsing Sz, one of the men executed in Victoria Gaol, $450, making a total of $1,050, and that the Pat Heung village was also ordered to pay $150, but did not pay it. The date when this money was paid into the Bank is given as May 29th. We believe it has been paid out again. There is also the further allegation that five houses belonging to the family of Tang Tsing Sz were burned by the soldiers on April 21st. We cannot, of course,
222
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
believe that the houses were burned and the money contribution levied because of the murder, so we must conjecture that these punishments were awarded because of the armed resistance to the British occupation. But we regard it as extremely unfortunate that any room for doubt should be left in the minds of the people of the New Territory as to the offences against British law that brought on this punishment. There is also this difficulty about the monetary levy. If it were in But if, as the nature of a fine, why was it not paid into Court in the usual way? the natives allege, it was compensation to the murdered man's relatives, under what British law was it levied, and by whose authority? Even Chinese villagers do not rise in armed opposition, or, at a meeting of village elders, decide to kill men deliberately, without some motive, and the most obvious motive in this matter was that their fears had been worked upon to such an extent that they believed their tenure of the land would be disturbed unjustly, and the effect of these fears on any Chinese rural community is similar in poking a stick into a wasp's nest. That these fears are not removed, the attack upon Mr. Danby's party quite recently is sufficient proof. It may be that land jobbers and speculators are at the bottom of the trouble, but if so, it was and is clearly the duty of Her Majesty's adminis- trators to disabuse these people of their erroneous impressions and to remove their fears, just as much as it is the duty of the Government to put down disorder and to punish murderers.
However much we may disagree with Sir Henry Blake's general policy in regard to the New Territory-because it is impossible to say how far he is res- ponsible for that policy, as we are given to understand that he is enacting the role of the parliamentary" sand bag"-yet we must give him credit for his latest attempt to enlighten the inhabitants on their relation to the British Crown. Had he done so in the first instance, instead of making his ridiculous pilgrimage to Canton, he would have enacted the wiser part. Relegating that to the limbo of irremediable blunders, we are pleased to observe that the Chinese land-holders are to be secured in their holdings. We hope this also implies that all the land and property already sold or contracted to be sold between the date of Mr. Stewart Lockhart's visit to the Hinterland in August, 1898, and the present date will be subject to the most searching enquiry. Without doubt a good deal of land was sold under threats that if not handed over peaceably the British Government would take it forcibly without compensation. The name of one minor Govern- ment servant, which must be known to the Government, i.e., to Mr. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, the Administrator of the New Territory, is being mentioned freely enough in Hongkong and in the Hinterland in conjunction with that of a Chinese gentleman, whose land speculations in the New Territory have evidently been carried on with a view to future purchases by the Government for sites of public buildings. It is, of course, a mistake to assume that all dealings in land in the New Territory are unfair or unjust, or that the term "land jobber" is synonymous with "thief." Hongkong has suffered, and suffered pitifully, from the land jobber. He is chronic. But where land has been obtained under misrepresentation, the Government, we imagine, if British law upholds righteousness and fair dealing, will be justified, after enquiry, in annulling all sales, should the original holders desire it. In his speech at Taipo-bu, His Excellency the Governor, in his desire to convince the villagers and Committee-men of his good intentions, seems to have gone too far and mixed up Chinese custom with British law. That, however, will not matter much if the Government really stands by the people, and sees that crimes and offences are not punished both according to British law and Chinese custom. That mistake appears to have been made in respect of the Taipo-hu murder; but His Excellency will see that rectified, of course, and will also see to it that similar mistakes do not occur in the future administration of the New Territory.

MEMORANDUM BY MR. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, COLONIAL SECRETARY,
ON THE PROTEST AGAINST ORDINANCE No. 40 OF 1899.
1. In considering the reasons for introducing and passing this Ordinance, it should be remembered that the New Territory was taken over on the 17th April last, on which date the British flag was hoisted under the circumstances detailed in the correspondence already published. The population of the territory is esti- mated at about 100,000, being composed of people who for centuries have been acquainted with Chinese rule only. It is a matter of common knowledge that the Chinese are as a race suspicious and have a dread of their own officials. The reasons for that dread are well known, and may be aptly illustrated by the follow- ing experience of one of the inhabitants of the New Territory, which occurred when he was subject to Chinese jurisdiction. An attack was made
An attack was made upon his house by a large armed gang of robbers. He shot three and succeeded in beating the others off. The robbers complained to the Magistrate, who summoned the person attacked to attend, but made him pay $150 before he would see him. After hearing the case the Magistrate ordered the sufferer to pay the funeral expenses of those shot, the other assailants being allowed to go scot free. It is not surprising, therefore, that the inhabitants of the New Territory, who have hitherto been accustomed to such justice, should be disinclined to appear before those in authority. Since the taking over of the New Territory every effort has been made to overcome this disinclina- tion, but it is difficult to overcome at once the habit of centuries, and it is not therefore unnatural that there should have been refusal, on the part of the inhab- itants, to attend before the British Officials, who they fear may accord to them the treatment which they have been accustomed to receive. Every effort has been made to remove these suspicions. Thousands of notices and leaflets have been published and circulated throughout every village in the territory, and British Officers have regularly visited each district and sub-district and endeavoured to dispel groundless suspicions and fears by explaining fully the policy of the Govern- ment and the objects of the various measures that have been introduced from time to time. The Governor has also met all the elders of the sub-districts and clearly declared the intentions of Government, as may be seen from His Excellency's speech, a copy of which is attached.* Two thousand Chinese versions of this speech were printed and distributed throughout the territory. The steps already taken have helped to partially dispel the doubts existing in the minds of the people, but the deep-rooted suspicion of ages and the prejudices existing against a foreign rule cannot be entirely eradicated at once. The result is that, though many may feel inclined to appear before an official when requested to do so, they are deterred from following their own inclination either because they do not wish to seem to run counter to popular feeling or are afraid, in view of their experiences under Chinese rule, that instead of receiving any benefit they will be sufferers. Invita- tions have frequently been sent to Chinese either to meet officials in their own villages or to attend at Taipo, the headquarters of Government in the New Terri- tory, in order to receive explanations regarding the registration of land, the objects of the survey of the New Territory, the preservation of trees, and other matters regarding which ignorance was creating unrest in the minds of the people. These invitations have been either partially or entirely disregarded. When, however, steps were taken to secure the attendance of those to whom invitations were issued and matters were explained to them, they acknowledged that they had behaved foolishly in not having complied with the invitation in the first instance and
* Enclosure No. 1.
224 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
expressed their thanks for the information given them, which they declared would calm the fears of the people. They also confessed that they had not responded to the invitation, because, had they done so with alacrity, their action would have been misjudged by the people.
2. The object of the Ordinance is to secure the attendance of the people so that, on the one hand, full explanations of Government measures may be given to them, and so that, on the other hand, the Government may learn from the people what their views may be regarding any proposed measure and what objections they may have to urge when matters do not appear to be working smoothly. It is true that hitherto the attendance of the people has been invited chiefly in connection with the registration of land, because that question is one of great importance to the people and has proved to be one full of intricacies and difficulties. The object in inviting their attendance has not been to extract from them information regard- ing their titles, but to explain to them the law dealing with land, regarding which much misapprehension exists. That such explanations have proved of great value is shown from the fact that when the work of registration of land commenced,
very
few claims were lodged notwithstanding the issue of many notices and leaflets, but that after the attendance of landholders was secured and their doubts removed claims came in more rapidly and have now reached a total 25,540. From what I have stated above, I think it will be recognised that the powers conferred I by the Ordinance are both desirable and necessary, at any rate for the present. am inclined to believe that, when the Chinese inhabitants of the New Territory know that the power to compel them to attend exists, they will not show them- selves so disinclined as heretofore to appear when invited and that it will be seldom, if ever, necessary to enforce the Ordinance.
3. Having dealt with the general question, I now proceed to deal with the details of the protest, which are in many respects erroneous and misleading.
4. Paragraph 1.-Mr. WHITEHEAD states that had he been present when the Bill was before the Legislative Council, he would have voted against it, though he He is, I probably would have been over-ruled. I presume he means out-voted. think, correct in his surmise, as the Ordinance was passed unanimously. I attach a copy of the proceedings in the Legislative Council.*
It is true that the Honourable Ho KAI, supported by the Honourable WEI A YUK, suggested that the Ordinance should only continue in operation for a period of two years. The suggestion was at once adopted by Government and clause 5 of the Ordinance reads as follows :-
"This Ordinance shall only continue in operation for a period of "two years from the coming into operation of this Ordinance, and for "such further period or periods as may from time to time be determined
'by resolution of the Legislative Council."
As I have already indicated, I trust, at the expiry of two years, the inhabitants of the New Territory may have become so accustomed to British rule that it may not be necessary to continue the Ordinance for any further period.
5. Paragraph 2.-Mr. WHITEHEAD encloses copies of his notes to the Governor dated 28th and 29th December regarding the Ordinance, and in the latter states that he intends to ask the Chinese Members of Council to join in his protest against the Ordinance. As the protest is not signed by the Chinese Members and as no reference is made in it to them, it may be presumed that Mr. WHITEHEAD has not been able to induce them to join him.
6. Paragraphs 3 g 8.-These paragraphs give a precis of the Ordinance and call for no remark, except that it should be pointed out that the Government has
* Enclosure No. 2.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 225
no intention of using this Ordinance for purposes of criminal enquiry. All criminal offences in the New Territory are dealt with in exactly the same way as in Hongkong proper.
7. Paragraph 9.-I have already dealt with the general statements containe in this paragraph, but there are one or two points to which I wish to call particular
attention.
8. Mr. WHITEHEAD states that "the Government when inviting these poor "people (and they are mostly all of the very poorest of the agricultural class) to "come into Hongkong has never offered to pay either the cost of their passage to "and fro, nor the expenses of their detention in Hongkong, nor any compensa- "tion for any loss of their time. Many of these men would have a journey of ten
or fifteen or twenty, or even more, miles over hills or by sea.
It would appear "that they have only refused to come into Hongkong to have the situation ex- 'plained to them, and that, I submit, may be due to the expense entailed in tra- "velling to Hongkong."
(C
9. Unfortunately for Mr. WHITEHEAD's argument his statements are not cor- rect and his facts are wrong.
10. In each case in which the inhabitants of the New Territory have come to Hongkong to receive explanations of Government measures, conveyance has been provided for them by Government and steps have been taken to make their stay in Hongkong a pleasant one. As a matter of fact there have been only two occa- sions on which the inhabitants of the New Territory have been brought into Hong- kong. On both occasions these parties had been invited, in the first instance, to appear at Taipo, but did not attend, although on one occasion the Registrar General had proceeded from Hongkong to Taipo to meet them. The result of the interviews in Hongkong on both occasions proved most satisfactory, and the parties expressed their thanks for the reception accorded to them. I may mention that many of the Committee-men have come to Hongkong or Taipo of their own ac- cord and have frequently been afforded conveyance by the Government.
11. Mr. WHITEHEAD seems to think that any person summoned to attend will have to appear before the Registrar General in Hongkong. I have already referred to the Governor having met the Committee-men at Taipo and Ping-shan; to the Registrar General having proceeded to Taipo to meet certain of the inhabitants, and to other officials having visited every village. There is no intention on the part of the Government to inflict unnecessary hardships on the inhabitants of the New Territory, as Mr. WHITEHEAD suggests. The object of the Government is to benefit the people, not to injure them. That being the case, it does not propose to make the inhabitants come to Hongkong unless compelled to do so, and if it is necessary to compel their attendance in Hongkong, arrangements will be made in the future, as in the past, to provide them with conveyance and to see they are properly looked after.
12. Mr. WHITEHEAD states:
"It has not been made clear that the Government has done every- "thing that was reasonably possible to do to enlighten the men by pro- "clamation posted in their respective villages or by the publication or "distribution of leaflets."
It would be interesting to know what steps Mr. WHITEHEAD took to enlighten himself on this subject before he committed himself to this statement. Everything possible has been done in the way of proclamation and leaflet to inform the people of the intentions of the Government. Thousands of notices on a variety of subjects have been posted in each village, and, as I have already stated, two thousand copies of the Chinese translation of the speech of the Governor to the
+
226 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
Committee-men were distributed. A Chinese translation of the Ordinance creating Committees was kindly prepared under the supervision of the Honourable Ho KAI and two thousand copies distributed. In addition to the publication of notices and distribution of leaflets, officials have visited each village in the territory in person and explained orally to the villagers such points as were thought to require further elucidation.
13. Paragraph 10.-I have already explained what the main object of the Ordinance is, so it is unnecessary for me to again point out that, though the land question is the most important, there are other matters almost equally important regarding which the attendance of the inhabitants is necessary from time to time
14. Paragraph 11.--As regards this paragraph, I would point out that any enquiry under the Ordinance can only be held by direction of the Governor. As to the confidence reposed in the Governor by the Chinese, I may quote the Honour- able Ho KAI, who, when speaking on the Po Leung Kuk Incorporation Ordinance in Legislative Council on the 2nd June, 1893, stated as follows:-
?
(Hansard, page 93.) "We have in this Colony a Governor and we "always look upon him as the representative of Her Majesty the QUEEN, "and as Chinese subjects here, and also as subjects of Her Majesty the QUEEN, it is only fair to suppose that they would always desire to "submit the final decision of their differences to the Governor alone."
I am certain that the Chinese, whether in Hongkong or in the New Territory, will direct be quite satisfied of the necessity and justice of any enquiry the Governor may
to be held.
15. As to Mr. WHITEHEAD'S Temarks regarding the department of the Registrar General, they are not surprising as coming from one who stated in Council in 1893-"I would sweep away if I could the Registrar General's Department." It is not to be wondered at that he regards it as the least qualified of any department to exercise the powers conferred by the Ordinance and as incapable of impartiality. But when he deals with a department, which he considers should be swept away, one would expect accuracy in the statement of facts regarding it. It is not the case that junior members of the Civil Service have frequently acted as Registrar General. The present holder of the post has 20 years' service, and those who have acted for him have invariably been officers of standing, who have been specially qualified for the post.
16. In paragraph 11 Mr. WHITEHEAD states that the Registrar General "may "be and almost necessarily must be in the hands of the Chinese in his department,' and in paragraph 13 tries to show, by quoting Dr. Ho KAI, that the Chinese gene- rally are entirely at the mercy of the Registrar General. That is, the Registrar General is at one time the slave and at another the master of the Chinese. This is not the first occasion on which Mr. WHITEHEAD has made use of the remarks by Dr. Ho KAI. On page 93 of Hansard 1893 Dr. Ho KAI protests against such use in the following words :--
"The Honourable Member for the Chamber of Commerce [i.e., Mr. WHITEHEAD] quoted one of my speeches on the subject in which I spoke against the advisability of the Registrar General getting people, "Chinese gentlemen, individually and privately, into his office and asking "them their opinions on certain subjects. The quotation is a very long ,, ' one. I do not propose to read it, but it is found in the report [i.e., on "the Po Leung Kuk] on page 13. Upon that the Honourable Member "seemed to think that the Registrar General should not consult the "Chinese, but that he should be outside and above them. He misunder- "stood me and took just the opposite view to that which I wished to
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 227
66
convey in that speech. I meant to say that the Registrar General "should not ask Chinese singly and individually to come to his office, "but I never intended that the Registrar General should not have the "Chinese assembled in his office and discuss matters openly. That has "been done, though not in this Committee, [i.e., the Committee of the Po Leung Kuk] because we have not yet appointed a Committee, and "I do not know whether in former times it has been done, but I do know, "since I have been a member of the District Watchmen Committee, that "we discuss and decide by the vote of the majority, and I venture to "believe that, though sometimes the Registrar General has been in the minority, he thinks that his dignity has not been affected and that it was not derogatory to his high position to be out-voted."
**
?
17. The remarks of Dr. Ho KAI, as Mr. WHITEHEAD states, are not wholly pertinent to the present subject, but used as they have been, entirely apart from their context, they are quite misleading. As a matter of fact, Mr. WHITEHEAD wished to place the Registrar General over and above the Committee of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, or, in the words of Dr. Ho KAI, "to place. them under the thumb of the Registrar General." Both the Registrar General and Dr. Ho KAI successfully opposed Mr. WHITEHEAD on the occasion in question, and objected to the Chinese being placed in such a position.
18. The following extracts from Hansard pp. 90-93, 1893, are interesting in view of Mr. WHITEHEAD'S present attitude :--
"Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD:I say the Registrar General has "exercised a wise control which has been very desirable and which has "also been very effective; and I think it would be a great pity if that "control should be given up and disappear."
"The REGISTRAR GENERAL-I say again that the Registrar General "does not want to be placed in the position of the dictator of the Chinese "and it is no use for the Honourable Member who represents the Chamber "of Commerce to fence with words. That is undoubtedly the position "he wishes to place the Registrar General in."
"Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD :-They have said themselves that "their object is to put the Registrar General under their thumb; in fact, "to control the Registrar General."
*
*
**
*
*
"Honourable Ho KAI-I think that our leading Chinese would "prefer to be placed continually under an intelligent official rule rather "than be placed under the unreasonable and illiberal treatment of an "unofficial regime."
19. Paragraph 12.-Mr. WHITEHEAD states that the Registrar General's Department was entrusted with powers somewhat similar to those in the present Ordinance in connection with brothels, and so abused those powers that after enquiry they were taken away by Ordinance 2 of 1876.
This statement is quite misleading. So far from the powers of the Registrar General's Department having been curtailed they have been considerably increased since 1876. Indeed, the Ordinance for the Protection of Women and Children conferred greater powers on the Registrar General than he had ever possessed before.
Mr. WHITEHEAD must surely remember that, in view of the great and un- usual powers conferred on the Registrar General by that Ordinance, it was considered necessary to renew the Ordinance from time to time by resolution of the Legisla tive Council, because he was a member of Council when such resolutions were brought before Council and passed. After that Ordinance had been in force for
228
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
some time, experience showed that it had been worked successfully and that the great powers which it conferred were not abused. As a result, the Ordinance was placed permanently on the Statute Book, and Mr. WHITEHEAD was amongst those members of Council who gave their vote in favour of this course.
time.
20. Paragraph 14.-Mr. WHITEHEAD points out that there is no provision in the Ordinance for payment to the person summoned of his expenses in coming to Hongkong, of his stay in Hongkong, of his return; no compensation for his loss of As I have previously pointed out, on the two occasions on which inhabitants of the New Territory were brought to Hongkong, they were provided with convey- ance and well looked after. This paragraph seems to infer that in every case in which a person's attendance is desired, he will be brought to Hongkong. There is no such intention. Attendance in Hongkong will be the exception and not the rule, as has hitherto been the case, and if persons are brought to Hongkong, con- veyance as heretofore will be provided and they will be properly cared for.
21. Mr. WHITEHEAD goes on to say :-
((
Surely, if the Government has any legitimate enquiries to make it "should carry out these enquiries on the spot, in the village to which
they refer."
66
I have already pointed out that officers regularly visit the various villages, and it stands to reason that if the enquiries made and explanations given locally are satisfactory, no further attendance of persons will be necessary.
32
22. Paragraph 15.-There is only one point in this paragraph to which I desire to allude and that is the reference to what Mr. WHITEHEAD calls the "alleged land jobbery in the Colony's New Territories ". It is true that there were many rumours on that subject after the New Territory had been taken over and a suggestion was made that a Commission of Enquiry should be appointed. I pointed out on the 3rd May last (see Blue Book despatches and other Papers relating to the Extension of Hongkong. Sessional Paper No. 1835, p. 52) that it would be best, in the first instance, for the Land Officer in the New Territory to investigate the matter as he could call upon the landholders in each district to forward to him any complaints they might have to make which could be enquired into on the spot, and that, if after the investigation, a Commission was considered desirable it could be appointed. The Governor concurred in my proposal. On the 12th July the Governor issued a Chinese proclamation regarding land, which was posted throughout the villages in the New Territory. I attach an English version of that Proclamation and beg to draw special attention to the last paragraph, which is to the following effect :- "If any one has been forcibly deprived of his land or been fraudu- "lently induced to sell land at a low price he may present a petition to "the District Officer if he lives North of the Kowloon Ranges of Hills, "or if he lives South of it to the Registrar General or his Visiting Officer, "to be forwarded to the Squatters Board for enquiry."
*
On the 2nd and 4th August last, the Governor was met by the Committees of the sub-districts at Taipo and Ping Shan, when he concluded his speech on both occasions in the following words :-
66
"I wish to add a few more words on the subject of land. It has "been reported to me that as soon as the Convention between the Em- "peror of China and the Queen of Great Britain was signed, certain people were induced to sell their lands at a low value by being told "that the British Government would take possession of the land without "payment when they came into the Territory. I take this opportunity "of telling you, the Elders and Gentry of all the Villages, that if any

66
man has been induced to sell his land by these false misrepresentations "and he is not satisfied he can give notice to the Land Officer who will
66
..
register the title until the real question at issue has been looked into "and decided. I have mentioned all this before by proclamation, but I wish to emphasize it more strongly now that I see the Gentry and "Elders before me, as I am determined that if any man has been im- "properly induced to give his land away under its value, I will not "accept the sale as valid."
It will be thus seen that the Government has spared neither pains nor time in trying to discover whether land has been obtained by false misrepresentations. Up to the present time 25,540 claims to land have been registered and not a single complaint has, as yet, been received of any person having bought or sold land as has been rumoured.
J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary.
15th January, 1900.
(Enclosure No. 1 in the Colonial Secretary's Memorandum of the 15th January, 1900.)
HIS EXCELLENCY (the Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART translating) said: -Now that this territory has been divided into districts and the sub-district Committee-men have been selected from the elders and gentry, I wish to meet you and to explain to you the principles upon which the government of this portion of the Colony of Hongkong will be conducted. I desire that you who have been officially appointed shall co-operate with the Government in regulating the local affairs of your villages so that the people shall enjoy security and that there shall be no disorder. The Government has appointed officials who will advise you as to sanitary improvements in the villages so that the health of the people may be preserved, for the Queen of England wishes that all Her Majesty's subjects shall be healthy and prosperous. In giving you the position of Committee-men I rely upon you to discharge your duties in a faithful and upright manner and would call your attention to the fact that one of our most stringent laws is that if as much as one cash is taken from the people except the rates and taxes levied under authority the person extorting it will be.rigorously punished by fine and imprison- ment and be dismissed in disgrace from his position. I wish to interfere as little as possible with your good customs, but there is one principle of British law that must be observed. All punishinent for injuries must be inflicted by the appointed authority under the law. Therefore in case of injury the proper authority must be appealed to and the punishment must not be undertaken by private individuals. The time has now come when all occupiers of land must register their titles with the Land Officer. When application is made giving the exact area of land occupied, a notice will be posted in the village so that if another claims the land he can apply to the Land Officer, when the claims will be considered by the Land Court. No certificate of registration will be issued until the Crown rent has been paid. There should be no delay in registering your titles. The occupier will, in the absence of another claimant, be accepted as owner, but if the person in ??????- tion is decided not to be the proper owner the amount paid by him will be returned, and the rent will be collected from the person decided to be the lawful owner. few days ago some ill-advised people assembled near Un Long and behaved in a riotous manner, assaulting a party, who were examining certain lands. I warn you against such unlawful proceedings, as this was taking the law into their own

hands. They should, if they objected, have applied to the Land Officer, who would have examined into the matter and decided upon their objections. Under the powers given to me by the law I could have placed a station of Police upon that land and compelled the villagers who created the disturbance to pay the entire cost of building the station and paying the Police. But I have determined not to do so on this first offence but to warn the people through you that such illegal rioting will be severely punished in future. The elders of a village can always prevent such disorder by giving timely information to the Police. If they do not prevent it, then they and the villagers will be held responsible. All persons of whatever You must nation must be free to move about without danger of molestation. understand from what I have said that clan fights cannot be allowed. The law is strong enough to protect the rights of every man, and must be appealed to in cases of dispute that cannot be settled by the local committees.
I am sorry to find that robberies by armed gangs have been frequent, and against such violence you have hitherto not been adequately protected. I have established Police Stations in different parts of the territory for the purpose of preventing suc': robberies and protecting your lives and property. Since the territory was taken over three months ago many of those robbers have been arrested, the stolen property has been restored to the owners, and a large number of the robbers are now in gaol I am determined undergoing sentences of imprisonment for five and seven years. that such robberies shall be put down and that law-abiding and peaceable people You have all heard of shall enjoy security that has hitherto been denied them.
the cruel murders of innocent men that took place at Un Long in April last. For the murder of one of those men two of the principals in that brutal crime, after a fair and patient trial, have paid the penalty with their lives. I hope that if any bad characters remain in the territory they will take warning and ceasc from evil ways. I have directed that the law against gambling shall be rigidly enforced. The Chinese law against gambling is very strong, but the officials have neglected it. In British territory all laws must be equally respected. You have seen by my proclamation the amount of Crown rent that has been decided upon as the land rent for the present. In considering what taxes are to be levied on you, you must remember that all the money paid by you to the Government is money that is paid for your protection and for the improvement and development of your property. The money paid for public works is paid to your own labourers for their labour and comes to the traders in the ordinary course of business. Up to the present over ten thousand dollars have been paid in wages to the working people of this district and now that gambling has been stopped this money will be spent in the purchase of land for farms or of food and clothing from the shops, while the main road from Kowloon to Taipo will enable the people to send in their produce to market in any weather. There will be a license tax on all business houses but you have been relieved from the payment of all customs duties and monopolies that Do not object to strangers raised the price of everything that you consumed. coming to the district. They will all bring money and increase the wealth and comfort of the people. I know that many people from this district have travelled to other countries. They must have seen there how capital employs labour and produces wealth. With the introduction of fresh capital into this district that I hope to see one day some who are now driven to evil courses for want of occupation will find within their reach employment that will enable them to live respectable lives. I have appointed you to the responsible position of Committee-men because you have been recommended to me by your villagers. Do not forget that responsibility is very real, as I look to you to preserve the peace and good order of your villages, and to report to the authorities all bad characters and persons who endeavour to stir up strife. With the support of the Sub-district Committees and the villagers I look for the firm establishment of internal peace and prosperity, and I undertake that you shall be fully protected by the Government from any interference from without. I wished to add a few more words on the subject of

land. It has been reported to me that as soon as the Convention between the Emperor of China and the Queen of Great Britain was signed certain people were induced to sell their lands at a low value by being told that the British Govern- ment would take possession of the land without payinent when they came into the territory. I take this opportunity of telling you, the elders and gentry of all the villages, that if any man has been induced to sell his land by these false misrepre- sentations and he is not satisfied, he can give notice to the Land Officer, who will not register the title until the real question at issue has been looked into and decided. I have mentioned all this before by proclamation, but I wish to empha- size it more strongly now that I see the gentry and elders before me, as I am determined that if any man has been improperly induced to give his land away under its value I won't accept the sale as valid.
(Enclosure No. 2 in Colonial Secretary's Memorandum of the 15th January, 1900.)
The ACTING ATTORNEY-GENERAL:-I beg to move the second reading of the Bill entitled an Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Re- gistrar General. This Bill is for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General to give information regarding any matter in which the Registrar General is directed by the Governor to enquire. The reason for this Bill is that it is necessary that the Registrar General should have power to summon before him any Chinese whom he desires to question upon any matter of importance connected with the New Territories and affecting the Chinese. At present there is no power for the Registrar General to compel the appearance before him of Chinese, and it is very desirable that he should have such power. I may mention, Sir, that his Bill is framed upon similar lines to certain laws which are in operation in the Malay States. I understand from the Registrar General that it is necessary that he should have this power to summon Chinese before him, aud that it would very much facilitate the government of the New Territories if such a measure as this is passed.
The COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded.
The Honourable Dr. Ho Kai:---I do not intend to offer a strong opposition to the second reading of the Bill, but at the same time, Sir, I would wish to remind the Council that a Bill of this nature confers a very great power upon an official of the Government--a power which, in some respects, is not possessed even by His Ex- cellency the Governor or by the Chief Justice. As the Bill we have before us contains certain provisions expressly affecting the Chinese, and the Chinese alone, whether a British subject or otherwise-aud this makes the Bill very much more objectionable-it may be considered as class legislation, and as a general rule the Legislature regard such legislation with a great deal of disfavour and suspicion. In the present instance, I must say that in dealing with the affairs of the New Territory it may be necessary for the Registrar General to possess such power in order effectively to carry out his functions, and for that reason I and my Honour- able colleague who represents with me the Chinese have thought it wise not to offer any strong opposition. Of course, we are quite prepared to sacrifice a certain amount of our liberty with the object of helping the Government to carry out their policy for the good of the Chinese inhabitants of the New Territory; but at the same time I would ask Your Excellency to give instructions, if this Ordinance be passed, that tact, and discretion should be exercised. Otherwise the Chinese will suffer a great deal, and in the case of an abuse of power I hope Your Excellency will give instructions that speedy redress shall be given. On a former occasion, when a law was passed for the inspection of houses, the Governor at the time (S?r
232
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
William Robinson) gave the Council his word that such powers would be exercised with a great deal of tact and discretion and that in the case of any abuse of such power he would at once direct a strict enquiry. I wish the Council also to con- sider whether a measure of this kind should be allowed to continue for a very long time. I think it will meet the circumstances of the case if this Ordinance is allow- ed to be in operation for 12 months or a definite period, and at the end of that period it may be renewed from year to year if considered necessary. Of course the New Territory in its present condition requires special legislation, but by and by when it has become enlightened and prosperous like Hongkong, I see no reason why it should not be brought under the same laws as Hongkong. In an old Ordinance passed for the protection of women and children we have a precedent and an example of an enactment which is renewed from year to year, and in this case in committee I shall move that a clause be inserted limiting the operation of the measure to 12 months, at the end of which time it may be renewed if necessary.
The Honourable WEI A YUK:-I have much pleasure in endorsing the obser- vations which have fallen from the Honourable Member.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR :-I think the observations of the Honourable Members who have just spoken are very much to the point and I think it is only right that not alone the Council but that the Chinese people in the New Territory should have some idea why this Bill is introduced by the Government at the present time. The condition of the New Territory is peculiar. The Chinese do not understand our ways, and we desire-I desire most heartily-to interfere with the Chinese and their customs as little as possible, but it is absolutely necessary that land in the New Territory should be registered. Of course, all members of the Council know that, in the interests of the Chinese themselves, it should be registered; but for some reason, probably some suspicion, which I hope will be removed in the course of time, the Chinese have not been for some time as anxious to register their land as they might be, and for a considerable time we have found great difficulty in getting the Chinese to come forward and give any information about their land or about registration. It then became necessary to approach the Chinese through their elders, their leaders, for the purpose of explaining why it was necessary that land should be registered. However, on more than one occasion when these Chinese elders had been invited to come in, they gave no attention whatever to the invitation. Such conduct under Chinese jurisdiction-refusing when invited by a high official to come in and assist him and give him information -would not have been tolerated for an instant. We do not propose to take the stringent measures which would have been taken had the people remained under Chinese jurisdiction, but we do wish to get the power to compel their attendance and to inflict a small fine in case they disobey the summons. As to the observa- tions of the Honourable Gentleman, with reference to the supervision, so to speak, of the exercise of this power, the Honourable Member will see from the second clause that "The Governor may at any time direct the Registrar General to enquire into and report as to any matter which is connected with the New Territories as defined by section 2 of Ordinance No. 12 of 1899, if such matter exclusively con- cerns persons of Chinese race, whether British subjects or otherwise." gistrar General will only summon Chinese to come before him in certain cases into which he is directed by the Governor to enquire. Therefore, in no case can there be any action whatever without the direction of the Governor, and I think the Honourable Member will accept my assurance that the Ordinance will be carried out with every consideration for the Chinese and with every anxiety on the part of the Government that we shall never be forced to bring the provision of the Or- dinance into operation at all. I think that, when it is known that we have power to compel the attendance of these people who do not up to the present appear anxious to come forward, the Chinese will yield gracefully to the necessity and come in when invited without our having to resort to this power. With reference
The Re-
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 233
to the suggestion of the Honourable Member that this Bill should have a duration clause, I think it is a very fair suggestion. I shall have no objection whatever to it. I hope that, in a short time, the necessity for any such Ordinance as this will disappear.
The Council then went into committee to consider the Bill clause by clause.
On the suggestion of the Honourable Dr. Ho KAI, seconded by the Honourable WEI A YUK, the following clause was added to the Bill:-"This Ordinance "shall continue in operation for a period of two years from the coming into opera- "tion of this Ordinance, and for such further period or periods as may from time "time be determined by resolution of the Legislative Council."
The Bill passed through committee and the Council resumed.

ENGLISH VERSION
OF
CHINESE PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY HIS EXCELLENCY
SIR HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, GOVERNOR, &c.
I, Sir HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice Admiral of the same, hereby inform you, the landowners in the New Territories, that an Officer will visit the sub-districts for the purpose of registering landowners on a date due notice of which will be given to you. All you who can show that you have had possession of landed property for some time must fill up a schedule in the follow- ing form:-
1. Name of owner.
2. Nature of title.
3. Date of lease or grant (if any).
4. Number of years in occupation.
5. Description of land.
6. Dimensions of land.
7. Situation of land.
When these schedules are distributed to a village, any person who claims land. as his property must fill up a schedule and bring it in person to the Visiting Officer, when he comes to the village in which such person resides; and the Officer will make an entry in the register that such person is the owner and will add such other particulars as may be necessary. A list of those who have been registere l as landowners in the village and of their holdings will be posted in the village for seven days, and afterwards an extract of the entry of each holding will be made to be handed to the owner. But before it is handed to the owner he must pay the amount of Crown Rent fixed as due by him. If no Rent is paid, the land will be forfeited to the Government without fail.
234
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
If there is any unsettled dispute about property, the name of the person in actual possession will be registered, and he must pay the Crown Rent, but an extract of an entry in the Register will not be issued until the Squatters' Board has ascertained that the person in possession is the legal owner and the Board's decision has been approved by me. In that case an extract will be issued to him, and he will be permitted to remain in possession. But should the Board decide. that the property is really not his property, the Crown Rent paid by him will be refunded, and the person who is adjudged by the Board to be the person who should pay the rent and who is approved as such by me, must forthwith pay the rent due. All you owners of land must report all the land in your possession. Should it be found at any time that any land owned by any person has not been reported, it will be treated as Government land. A survey will shortly be made. of the whole of the Leased Territory, so that the boundaries of the various hold- ings may be clearly known; and any cases of neglect to report on the part of owners of land will be easily discovered, and will involve forfeiture of the property to Government. Do not say that I have not warned you. The Crown Rent including all charges fixed for the present is given below. You must all without exception obey. Do not be disobedient.
Do not be disobedient. A special proclamation.
(i.) For land draining in a Southerly direction to the sea between Lyemun Point on the East and the Pier in the bay West of Lai Chi Kok on the West per half mau or portion thereof as follows:-
(a.) For First class land 25 cents, or at the rate of $3.30
per acre per annum.
(b.) For Second class land 20 cents, or at the rate of $2.64
per acre per annum.
(c.) For Third class land 10 cents, or at the rate of $1.32 per
acre per annum.
(ii.) For all land (except land draining in a Southerly direction to the sea between Lyemun Point on the East and the Pier in the bay West of Lai Chi Kok on the West) per half mau or portion there- of as follows:-
(a.) First class land 15 cents, or at the rate of $1.98 per
acre per annum.
(b.) Second class land 10 cents, or at the rate of $1.32 per
acre per annum.
(c.) Third class land 5 cents, or at the rate of 66 cents per
acre per annum.
The above scale of Crown Rent may be altered.
When the survey has been completed permanent certificates of titles will be issued. If anyone has been forcibly
has been forcibly deprived of his land or been fraudulently induced to sell land at a low price, he may present a petition to the District Officer if he lives North of the Kowloon range of hills, or if he lives South of it to the Registrar General or the Visiting Officer, to be forwarded to the Squatters' Board for enquiry.

DOWNING STREET,
11th August, 1899.
I have the honour to inform you that my attention has been drawn to the statement, in Mr. ORMSBY'S report on the Public Works Department for 1898, that no beginning has been made with the road around the Island of Hongkong, which has been projected in commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty's reign.
2. In paragraph 2 of his despatch No. 110 of the 18th May, 1897, your pre- decessor stated that full particulars regarding this road would be furnished in due There appears, however, to be no record of any further communication on the subject having been received in this Department.
course.
3. The delay in this matter, unless it is due to the most exceptional circum- stances, might almost be held to amount to a breach of faith with the public, who were induced to subscribe in 1897 towards the cost of making this road, on the understanding that Government would see the work carried out. I should be glad to receive at an early date a full explanation of the causes of this postponement, and as to whether it is proposed to take steps towards the immediate commence- ment of the road.

SIR,
(Chairman, Jubilee Committee, to Secretary of State.)
HONGKONG, 15th September, 1899.
In accordance with the terms of a Resolution passed unanimously by the Hongkong Jubilee Committee at a meeting held on the 15th August last, I have the honour to address you on the subject of the proposed construction of a Road from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen, which was decided upon as one of this Colony's Memorials of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Sixty Years Reign.
2. The necessity for appealing to you in this matter has arisen principally through the action of Major-General BLACK, C.B., who has attempted to thwart the wishes of the Colonists generally by raising objections to the construction of the road on Military grounds.
238
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
3. The Committee desire to lay before you as briefly as possible the circum- stances of the case.
4. In the early part of 1897, the Jubilee Committee, through the medium of the Press, invited suggestions from the public, as to what form a permanent Memorial of the event referred to should take.
5. The suggestions were carefully considered and after full discussion it was resolved that the most fitting Memorials would be :---
(1) The construction of a Hospital and Nursing Institute, and
(2) The construction of the Road already mentioned.
6. The Hospital and Nursing Institute need not be referred to further than to say that, after considerable delay, caused by a transfer of the site from the lower levels to the Peak District on the representation of the Principal Civil Medical Officer, this part of the scheme is likely to be soon realized. I will therefore con- fine myself in what follows to the Road portion of the scheme.
7. In the first place, the Committee desire to state that the the fullest publi- city was given to their proceedings while the various suggestions which had been made were under discussion, the representatives of the Press being present and full reports appearing in the newspapers.
8. The Resolutions specify the form of the Memorials decided upon were passed by the Committee on the 26th April, 1897, and, as the wording of the one relating to the road is somewhat important, I will quote it in full :-

"That the money so collected together with an equal amount pro- "mised by the Colonial Government be deposited at interest in the "Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in the name of the Jubilee Committee, and be disbursed by them after paying for the local celebra- "tions--one half towards the erection of the Hospital for Women and "Children and the training of nurses and the other half towards the con- "struction of the first section of the carriage road from Kennedy Town to "Aberdeen which the Government undertakes to commence forthwith and
to carry on the remaining portion of the road until completed."
9. These Resolutions were submitted to His Excellency the Governor, by whom in turn they were referred to you, and the Committee were informed that they had received the approval of the Government and of yourself as Secretary of State for the Colonies. They were also published in the newspapers.
10. During this time Major-General BLACK was in command of the Forces in the Colony and, as a member of the public, made a suggestion as to the form the Memorial should take, which however did not commend itself to the Committee and was consequently rejected.
11. On the basis of the Resolutions which were passed, subscriptions were collected from the entire community, the Chinese subscribing largely on account of the Road portion of the scheme, which it was anticipated would form an outlet for the inhabitants of the crowded western section of the City on the lower levels. When the subject was under discussion at the meeting of the 15th August, Mr. FUNG WA-CH'UN, one of the most active members of the Committee, stated "that he had collected funds from the Chinese on the promise that the road from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen would be undertaken."
12. The desirability of avoiding any action with regard to the disposal of the fund which could possibly give rise to a charge of breach of faith with the Chinese section of the community is self-obvious.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 239
13. As you will gather from the Resolution already quoted, the construction of the Road was to be carried out by the Government, the cost of it being defrayed as far as possible from the moneys collected and the Government undertaking not only to complete that section but to carry out by degrees other sections until a good road was constructed encircling the greater portion of the Island.
14. Under these circumstances, the Committee left it to the Government to take whatever steps they considered necessary towards carrying out the Road portion of the scheme. The matter was allowed to remain in abeyance until the arrival of Mr. ORMSBY, who had been appointed to succeed Mr. COOPER as Director of Public Works. A survey of the entire route was then undertaken, under Mr. ORMSBY'S direction, and in August, 1898, that gentleman's report was forwarded for the Committee's consideration.
15. In his report the following passage occurs:--
"I am strongly in favour of first constructing the Road between "Shaukiwan and Aberdeen and so completing a carriage road round the "Island, leaving the construction of the section round Mount Davis-(ie., "from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen)-for future consideration."
16. That was the first intimation which the Committee received of
any proposal to deviate from the scheme which had been decided upon in April, 1897, 16 months previously.
17. The Committee wish here to point out that Mr. ORMSBY had then only been 10 months in the Colony and on the strength of that comparatively brief sojourn he proposed to upset a scheme which had been prepared by the Jubilee Committee (of which his predecessor, Mr. COOPER, was a member), and had received the approval of His Excellency the Governor, Sir WM. ROBINSON, and of yourself as Secretary of State. All the members of the Committee are men of standing and many of them have spent much of their lives in the Colony.
18. The Committee, after considering Mr. ORMSBY'S report, informed the Government that they considered themselves bound by Resolution No. 3, which I have already quoted in full, and did not therefore consider that they had power to expend the money collected on any other section of the road than that between Kennedy Town and Aberdeen.
19. At this period Major-General BLACK was administering the Government and it was not until after the arrival of His Excellency Sir HENRY BLAKE, G.C.M.G., that any further communication was made to the Committee. Then, for the first time, in December, 1898, an extract from a letter of General BLACK's to His Excellency the Governor, in which Military objections were urged to the construction of the Road, was communicated to the Committee. General BLACK's letter, a copy of which is enclosed, is dated 2nd December, 1898.
20. To this the Committee replied in similar terms to those above mentioned and pointed out that early in 1897 the Government had undertaken with your approbation, and without objection on the part of the Military Authorities, to commence the Road forthwith and to gradually carry it on until completed.
21. The Committee were subsequently informed that the question of the construction of the proposed first section of the Road from Kennedy Town round Mount Davis had been reported upon by General BLACK and General GASCOIGNE, who were both opposed to it on Military grounds, and that His Excellency the Governor would not therefore feel justified in approving of it at present.
22. The Committee have no desire to even appear to question General GASCOIGNE'S opinion, but it is obvious that, for an Officer in his position to incur the responsibility, immediately upon his arrival in the Colony, of differing from his predecessor in office on such a question, is hardly to be expected.
240
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.
23. As nothing is said in this, the latest communication received from Govern- ment, regarding Mr. ORMSBY's objections to the construction of the Mount Davis section of the road, the Committee infer that His Excellency the Governor was prepared to over-rule these objections which were chiefly grounded on the excessive cost of it as compared with the remaining sections. From the evidence given by expert witnesses when the scheme was under consideration, the Committee are disposed to think that Mr. ORMSBY has over-estimated the cost and that, if tenders were invited, it would be found practicable to construct the entire section with the funds in hand, which now amount to fully $100,000, and are earning interest at the rate of 5% until disbursed.
24. The onus of the deadlock which has arisen therefore rests with General BLACK.
25. Whilst deferring to General BLACK's experience in Military matters, the Committee unanimously venture to take exception to his objections to the proposed scheme. As the road is to be only eighteen feet in width, it is scarcely justifiable to describe it as a "broad' road. Again, it appears that the road could be rendered practically useless for hostile purposes by destroying a few short portions of it and, from the nature of the coast, the Committee have no hesitation in saying that the landing of a force under cover of darkness at any point between Sandy Bay and Kennedy Town, would be an exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, operation. The road as designed would traverse the hillside at a level of about fifty-five to sixty feet above sea-level and would therefore have to be gained, assuming the landing to have been effected, by scrambling over ground which General BLACK himself describes as "so steep and rugged that no formed body of soldiers could move along it at night."
26. Finally, the Committee regard General BLACK's objections as out-of-date and somewhat far-fetched.
27. The scheme for a road round Mount Davis is not a new one.
It was mooted on the occasion of the Colony's Jubilee in 1891, and was warmly taken up then but, owing to the depressed condition of affairs at that period, it was considered improbable that a sufficient sum of money could be raised to admit of its being carried out, and accordingly it was dropped, only to be revived again at the first opportunity which presented itself. No mention of any objections on military grounds was then made either by Major-General BARKER, who was in command of the Forces at the time, or by any other Military Officer.
28. The Committee venture to think that the road will ere long become an absolute necessity in order to open out new sites to provide for the influx of the wealthier class of Chinese which is constantly going on. Of late, there have been repeated instances of the purchase of villa residences on the upper levels of the city by Chinese and this is a tendency which should be encouraged. The number of such residences being limited, however, it is necessary that new sites be opened out, if the demand is to be met, and the Committee are informed that several Chinese have signified their intention of building villas along the new road, if constructed. It would also become possible for the Chinese to indulge in driving exercise as is common among them both in Shanghai and Singapore whilst an impetus would be given to cycling which has already gained a considerable hold in the Colony.
29. In this connection it is interesting to repeat a quotation from General BLACK'S letter in support of his own proposal which was made use of by the mover of the resolutions of the 26th April, 1897. It runs as follows:-
"I need hardly urge the appropriateness of a road to mark a great "occasion; roads are the precursors of progress and civilization; they distinguish a rising from a barbarous state. Roads for recreation and "health are one of the great wants in this island."

30. The Members of the Jubilee Committee therefore ask you, Sir, on behalf of the subscribers to the fund and the Community generally, to whom the carrying out of this scheme will undoubtedly be of great benefit, to give this appeal your earnest consideration and, if possible, to endorse the approval which you were good enough to express when the proposal was first laid before you.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient and humble Servant,
The Right Honourable
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN,
C. P. CHATER, Chairman, Jubilee Committee.
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.
(Governor to Secretary of State.)
SIR,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 27th September, 1899.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 153 of 11th ultimo with reference to the expenditure of the funds subscribed for a memorial of Her Majesty's Jubilee in 1897.
2. The money was placed in the hands of Trustees, to be devoted :-
(i.) To the construction of a Road round the Island.
(ii.) The building of a Hospital for Women and Children, and a
Nursing Institute.
3. The plans for the Hospital have been prepared, and the site acquired from the Government, and it is being proceeded with. The construction of the Road has not been undertaken as yet for the following reasons.
4. Immediately after my arrival in the Colony I was addressed by the Director of Public Works by a letter dated 29th November, 1898, in which he urged that some understanding should be arrived at with the Jubilee Committee on the subject of the Jubilee Road, about which there was a deallock, and suggested that the opinion of the Major-General who had administered the Government previous to my arrival should be asked for. The question at issue was whether the road was to be commenced at the West or the East of the Island. The westernmost section from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen would absorb all the funds subscribed, while many more miles could be made for that money round by the East.
5. The Trustees hold that they are bound by a resolution that the money was to be devoted to the construction of a road round the island, the first section of which was to be from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen round the Western promontory of Mount Davis. The Government bound themselves to continue the road until its completion after the money subscribed was exhausted, and some of the money subscribed was so subscribed after the resolution so binding the Trustees had been published.
6. As previous minutes showed that Major-General BLACK had, while add- ministering the Government, expressed himself as opposed to this section on Military grounds, I referred the question to him on that point, and received his answer dated 2nd December, 1898. It is to be regretted that Major-General BLACK did not urge this Military objection when the proposition was made or before the laying of the memorial stone, at the point at which the road was to begin, by my pre- decessor, at which ceremony General BLACK was present.
242
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17?? FEBRUARY, 1900.
7. However, a short time after the arrival
of Major-General GASCOIGNE, I submitted the papers to him with a minute dated 13th January, 1899, and on the 17th January I received his answer, in which he agreed with Major-General BLACK that a road round Mount Davis near sea level would be highly undesirable in a Military sense.
8. As there is a considerable difference of opinion in the Colony as to the advisability of this road, apart from the Military aspect, I allowed the matter to rest, in the hope that the Trustees might see their way out of the difficulty by calling a meeting of the subscribers, but in the beginning of August I was informed that the Committee were preparing a statement to be submitted to you, which statement I received a few days after the receipt of your despatch. As the opinions of Major- General GASCOIGNE and of the Director of Public Works were mentioned I sent copies of the letter of the Committee to them for their observations. You will observe that Major-General GASCOIGNE's views are materially modified, and his last minute does not convey to me that there would be any serious Military objection to the road.
9. Personally, as I have stated in my minute, apart from Military considera- tion, I see no reason why the road should not be first made in accordance with the resolution, especially as the Government is bound to continue the road until its completion round the islaud, but as the question has been submitted to you I think it better to forward with the letter of the Committee all the correspondence and minutes in the case that you may have an opportunity of seeing it in all its bearings, and, as Major-General GASCOIGNE intimates the probability in his last minute that the construction of the road may probably necessitate some alteration in the scheme of defence you may consider it advisable to have the views of the Defence Com- mittee on the subject. I may add that the statement in the letter of the Committee as to the position of the proposed road and the extremely rugged character of the shore is quite correct.

243
HEAD QUARTER HOUSE,
2nd December, 1898.
SIR,
In answer to Your Excellency's letter of the 30th ultimo, No. 94-G, I have the honour to state that the slopes of Mount Davis between Sandy Bay and Ken- nedy Town are so steep and rugged that no formed body of soldiers could move along them at night.
II. If a broad level road were constructed from Sandy Bay to Kennedy Town, a force landed under cover of darkness anywhere between these points could move easily and rapidly to the latter place.
III. I am, therefore, of opinion that it is inadvisable on Military grounds, to give an enemy an easier method of access to the town of Victoria.
IV. I have seen it stated that a small fort or work might be built to defend the road, and that the fire from Belcher's Battery would sweep it, and would an- swer that the small garrison of Hongkong cannot afford to detach men to defend yet another work, and that during darkness the fire from Belchers would be of little avail.
V. Perhaps I may be allowed to add some further remarks as the subject was often before me as Officer Administering the Government, before Your Excellency's arrival. One reason advanced for the construction of this section is the statement that people subscribed to the Jubilee Fund on the understanding that this section was to be first constructed. I can only say on this head that my strong impression is that no condition of this nature was set forth on the subscription list put before me, and that this impression prevails amongst all those whom I have asked on this point.
VI. I need not dwell on the great expense of this section as compared with the others, on the unlikelihood of any one using this road in summer, fully exposed to the Westering Sun-on the apparent absurdity of a road following an indented coast line when a thoroughly good and shorter road already exists, or on the un- pleasant neighbourhood of the two plague cemeteries, but I would lay considerable stress on the fact that such a road would necessitate the removal of the temporary Plague Hospitals at Kennedy Town, for, I venture to say, that there is no other site in the Colony so isolated or in every way so convenient for the treatment of this terrible disease.
VII. The need of the Colony is to have a road round the Island as soon as possible. This will be effected by beginning simultaneously from Shaukiwan and from Aberdeen, and sanitary reasons favour an immediate beginning, for the scheme includes filling in the Inlet between Aberdeen and Little Hongkong, to which the Medical men ascribe the Malaria that has made this neighbourhood and that of Magazine Gap so unhealthy. These sections finished, and easier gradients secured by slight deviation of the present Pokfulam road, the Jubilee road will be com- plete.
After that, if found desirable, it will be time enough to undertake the heavy expense of a needless carriage way round Mount Davis.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
W. BLACK,
Major-General.

(Chairman, Jubilee Committee, to Acting Colonial Secretary.)
HONGKONG, 6th January, 1899.
I have the honour to inform you that the Jubilee Committee have given to your letter of the 7th December last the fullest consideration. They regret to say that they find themselves unable to accede to the suggestion as to the new road, conveyed in His Excellency Major-General BLACK's letter of the 2nd December last.
They are Trustees of the monies raised for the purpose of constructing "the first section of the carriage road from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen" and this road the Government undertook, with the approbation of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and without objection on the part of the Military Authorities, "to commence forthwith and to carry on the remaining portion of the road until com- pleted."
The Committee earnestly hope that the promise of the Government will be kept, and the work commenced at once.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,
I do not know that I have anything to add to my previous remarks.
It was a matter of regret to me that the first opinion I was called upon to express officially after my arrival in the Colony should be unfavourable to a scheme which it appeared was desired by a large number of residents.
There can be no question whatever that the making of this road would not be a source of strength, in a defensive sense, but rather the reverse.
It would be an increase of anxiety, and would probably necessitate some alteration in the scheme of defence. Therefore, any Military Commander, if asked whether he preferred that the road should or should not be made, would be bound to reply that he preferred that it should not be. At the same time if Your Excel- lency informed me that to make this road would satisfy a great and pressing need for the Colony generally, I should not consider the Military objections to be so imperative as to necessitate my urgent protest against it.
I can add nothing more to this.

Report of the Po Leung Kuk Society for the Year ending 1899.
The following ten gentlemen were elected to act as the Managing Committee for the year:-
FUNG WA-CH'UN.
CH'AN KAI-TS'UN. CH'AN TSOK-P'ING.
YUNG YIK-T'ING. YUNG CHIU-PO. LO KUN-TING. CH'AN KING-TING WONG SIK-NG. WVONG PO-TAI. KU IU-T'ONG.
A state-
Mr. LAU WAI-CH'UEN and Mr WAI LONG-SHAN were appointed to act as Treasurers. ment of the Assets and Liabilities of the Society and a declaration by the Treasurers and two statements showing the working account and revenue and expenditure during the year are attached. The balance to the credit of the fund at the end of the year was $13,706.73.
Messrs. SHAM KUN-SAI and HO WING-TUN have kindly audited the accounts this year.
The number of persons admitted into the Home during 1899 was 411, being 1 less than in 1898. The Visiting Justices during the year have been Captain ANDERSON, Hon. WEI A-YUK, and Mr. CH'AN FUK.
The Society is indebted, as in former years, to the various Benevolent Institutions of Macao, Canton, and other places, for their co-operation in restoring women and girls to their relatives, and for assistance in other directions.
The subscriptions for the year, including the Man Mo Temple's contribution, amount to $4,005.30 as compared with $1,836.95 in 1898, showing an increase of $2,168.35.
This increase is due to the generosity of certain guilds, who now contribute to the Society in the proportion of three-tenths of the amount of their subscriptions to the Tung Wa Hospital. These increased subscriptions are most satisfactory evidence of the appreciation by the Chinese community of the good work carried on by the Institution.
The report of Dr. Lowson, who has kindly visited the Po Leung Kuk during 1899, is attached.

PO LEUNG KUK, HONGKONG, 12th February, 1900.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit for the information of the Registrar General the annual report regarding the medical work in the Po Leung Kuk for the year 1899.
The general health of the inmates has been good, only 46 cases of illness being recorded out of a total of 315 admissions. The sanitary condition of the buildings and drains is satisfactory. The domitories have always been kept clean and orderly.
During the year 54 inmates have been successfully vaccinated, making 4 insertions on each arm. In the months of January and February 4 cases of measles occurred and were isolated in a small domitory on the first floor. The attacks were of a mild type and all made rapid recovery.
11 cases of venereal disease have been found among the newcomers, 5 of whom were sent to the Lock Hospital for treatment, and the rest, being of a mild type, were treated in the institute.
Several cases of malarial fever occurred during the latter part of the year; all proved amenable
to treatment.
A case of pregnancy at full term was removed on the 21st August last to the Tung Wah Hospital where she gave birth to a daughter. On the ninth day after delivery, she developed signs of Acute Beri-beri for which she is still under treatment and is favourably progressing towards recovery. account of this, the child was sent to the care of the Sisters in the Italian Convent.
On
Four deaths have occurred during the year, one having died suddenly in the institute; the body was removed to the Public Mortuary for post-mortem examination and the cause of death was found Two died in the Government Civil Hospital and to be the result of Acute Pneumonia of both lungs. one in the Tung Wah Hospital from Acute Beri-beri.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant.

And whereas by Article 4 of the said Order in Council it was provided that, notwithstanding anything in the said Order in Council contained, the Chinese officials at the date of the said Order in Council stationed within the City of Kowloon should continue to exercise jurisdiction therein except in so far as might be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong.

!
NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:-
1. Article 4 of the Order of Her Majesty in Council of the 20th of October, 1898, is hereby revoked, without prejudice to anything lawfully done thereunder.
2. The City of Kowloon shall be and the same is hereby declared to be for the term of the Lease in the said Convention mentioned part and parcel of Her Majesty's Colony of Hong Kong, in like manner and for all intents and purposes as if it had originally formed part of the said Colony.
3. The provisions of the said Order in Council of the 20th October, 1898, shall apply to the City of Kowloon in like manner as if the said City had by the said Order in Council been declared to be part and parcel of Her Majesty's Colony of Hong Kong.
And the Right Honourable Joseph Chamberlain, one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

The following Report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for 1899, is published.
By Command,
F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th February, 1900.
No. 20/1900.
VICTORIA GAOL,
22nd January, 1900.
SIR, --I have the honour to submit for your information the following report on the Victoria Gaol for the year 1899.
2. The number of prisoners admitted to the Gaol during the year under sentence from the ordinary Courts was 4,164, besides 89 soldiers and sailors sentenced by Courts Martial. There were 35 persons admitted for debt and 501 in default of finding security, making a total of 4,789. Of these 736 were old offenders, including 11 juveniles who were merely sent to the Gaol to be birched, leaving a total of 725 old offenders who actually underwent imprisonment.
The corresponding numbers for the preceding year were respectively as follows :-

6. There were 2,459 prisoners reported for breaches of prison discipline, being an average per prisoner of 5.66 as compared with 4,038, with an average per prisoner of 7.90 for the preceding year. The throwing of tobacco over the prison walls caused an increased number in the reports for having
tobacco.
In 1897 with a daily average population in the Gaol of 462 the average number of reports per prisoner was the same. The lower average with lower population shows how much better discipline is maintained when the Gaol is not overcrowded.
7. The following improvements referred to in paragraph 9 of the report for 1898 have been carried out during the year almost entirely by prison labour :--
(a.) The east ramp has been entirely removed, and on the site it occupied a large lean-to shed for laundry purposes has been constructed, providing accommodation for 16 washers and rendering better supervision possible.
(b.) Two boilers for heating water and boiling clothes have been built.
(c.) A latrine for the use of the laundrymen has been erected.
(d.) The old washing shed has been pulled down and a large drying-room built on the site. Fourteen horses have been added, by the Public Works Department, to the old drying apparatus, making a total of 26 drying horses.
(e.) The old drying room has been converted into a shed for mat-making in which 4 looms
have been fitted up.
(f) An extra work-room has been added to the printing workshop which was greatly needed. in order to meet the increased requirements of the printing and bookbinding depart-

ment.
"B" Wing has been pulled down by prison labour, and a new wing to accommodate 78.
prisoners in separate confinement is being constructed on the site by free labour.
(l.) A new hot water service for bathing purposes has been laid on by the Public Works
Department.
8. The building of quarters for the Prison Staff outside the prison has been commenced. On the the completion of the quarters for the Indian Staff, the hospital, which is now occupied by them, will be available for prisoners.
9. There have been no escapes or attempts to escape during the year.
10. Industries are steadily increasing. Special attention has been given to instruct well-con- ducted prisoners, who have completed their period of No. 1 Hard Labour, in the various industries carried on in the Gaol, such as Bricklaying, Carpentering, Tinsmithing, Boot and Shoemaking, Mat- making, Netmaking, Tailoring, Printing, Bookbinding, etc.
Every prisoner undergoing imprisonment for any period over 42 days, has now an opportunity of learning a useful trade.
:
11. The profits on Industrial Labour amounted to $16,822.02 as compared with $6,204.19 for the preceding year and $2,620.08 for the year 1897.
The large increase is principally due to the printing and bookbinding done for Government. This work has been satisfactorily carried out in spite of the enormous excess in the actual requirements of almost all the Departments over their original requisitions. Much of the increase is due to the acquisition of the New Territory.
Altogether 2 088,199 forms were issued and 5,009 books were bound during the year. For these forms Government would have had to pay the Government Printers $10,551.20, and as the value of the paper purchased for the Gaol does not amount to the value of the paper formerly supplied to the Government Printers, the above amount represents a direct saving to Government, without taking into consideration the value of the bookbinding, regarding the prices formerly paid for which by Government I have no information. After deducting the cost of machinery (which was necessarily heavy in the first year) and the paper, the net earnings of this industry were $6,589.04.
12. The new regulations for the Prison and new scales of diet came into force on the 7th March, 1899, and have worked most satisfactorily.
I attribute the large decrease in floggings in great measure to the encouragement to good con- duct given to prisoners by the extension of the progressive stage system under the new rules, and to the decrease under it in the time spent by a well-conducted prisoner at No. 1 Hard Labour from 3 months to 42 days. At the same time credit is due to the Assistant Superintendent and the Prison Staff for the manner in which discipline has been enforced during the year. Mr. R. H. CRAIG was appointed Assistant Superintendent of the Gaol in May 1899, Principal Warder PIERPOINT succeeding him as Chief Warder, and both these officers have given me entire satisfaction in the discharge of their new duties.
306
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MARCH, 1900.
To Mr. CRAIG'S technical knowledge and capable supervision is principally due the large and successful extension of the Printing and Bookbinding industry in the Gaol.
The changes in the Prison Staff were much fewer than in previous years.
I have the honour to be,
The Honourable
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
F. H. MAY,
Superintendent.

Governor.
By His Excellency Sir HENRY ARTHUR 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.
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 mentioned 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 permis- sion that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.
And whereas, by Proclamation dated 10th day of November, 1899, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited for a period of four months from and including the 28th day of November, 1899, 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 HENRY ARTHUR 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, 1900, 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.

POLICE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 29th January, 1900.
SIR,- I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Criminal Statistics and Report on the Police Force for the year 1899.
2. The total of all cases reported to the Police was 9,023 as against 10,596 in 1898 being a decrease of 1,573 or 17.43 per cent.
In the division of these cases into Serious and Minor Offences, there appears an increase as compared with 1898 of 457 cases or 15.57% in the former and a decrease of 2,030 cases or 36.05 % in the latter.
The increase as compared with 1898 in Serious Offences of 457 is shewn as follows:-

MURDER.
(1.) On the 17th April, TANG Cheung Tsai, 47 years, oyster dealer, Ha Tsun, was murdered at Un Long in the New Territory by TANG TSING SZ, CHEUNG TIN and seven others. The two men. named were arrested and tried at a Special Criminal Sessions in June, convicted and hanged.
(2.) On the same date and at the same time and place a man named CHAN KWAI SHU TSAI was murdered by the same persons amongst whom were NG KI CHEUNG, his nephew NG TUNG, and LUI TAK LAP, who were arrested and tried at the July Sessions, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. NG TUNG was pardoned. The sentence on his uncle was commuted to imprisonment with hard labour for life, and that on LUI TAK LAP to 10 years' imprisonment with hard labour.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
335
In connection with this case two of the witnesses for the defence were subsequently convicted of subornation of perjury and perjury respectively and sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment with hard
labour.
A sixth member of the party was arrested and tried in China, and has, I hear, been recently released. The seventh made good his escape, and the remaining two turned Queen's Evidence.
There was a third murder committed at the same time for which it was not possible to bring any person to justice.
The three men were murdered partly because they were believed to be spies of the British whose occupation of the New Territory was disputed by a portion of the population, and partly out of revenge for the natives whose active opposition to our troops had cost them their lives.
(3.) On the 27th May a European named ANDREW MARKS residing at No. 31 Pokfulam Road murdered his wife by shooting her with a revolver and then shot himself.
4.) On the 22nd August PUN FUK, a sawyer, was cut and wounded at Hunghom, over a dispute amongst carpenters, by two men who were arrested. PUN FUK was sent to the Government Civil Hospital where he subsequently died. The two men were tried for murder at the Criminal Sessions and acquitted.
(5.) On the 8th September at 9.30 p.m. six men armed entered a hut at Su Hau on Lantao Island, shot and killed the owner KUNG TIM, 45 years of age, tied up his wife, and stole a pig, paddy and clothing, &c. value $18.50. No arrest was made.
(6. On the 24th October FUNG WAI, 41 years, coolie, 5 Sai Un Lane, was killed by a blow on the head inflicted with a carrying pole by a coolie named TANG LOI during a dispute between them about carrying cargo. TANG LOI was convicted at the Criminal Sessions and sentenced to be hanged, but his sentence was commuted to 15 years' imprisonment with hard labour.
5.
GANG ROBBERIES.
There were 43 Gang Robberies reported during the year, 25 of which took place in the New Territory and 18 in the Old Territory. In connection with these cases 49 persons were arrested, 33 of whom were convicted and 16 discharged.
In 29 cases the value of property stolen exceeded, and in the remaining 14 cases was less than, 25 dollars.
ROBBERIES ON BOATS AND JUNKS.
Nine cases were reported, 5 of which occurred in the New Territorial Waters and 4 in the Old, 8 persons were arrested, 7 were convicted and one discharged.
HIGHWAY AND STREET ROBBERIES.
Thirty-three cases were reported, 12 of which occurred in the New Territory and 21 in the Old, 14 persons were arrested. 8 convicted and 6 discharged.
Of these Highway Robberies, four were upon Europeans, viz. :-
(1.) On the 14th March a Portuguese and his wife while walking in Glenealy were attacked. by two men from behind, who rubbed pepper in their eyes and robbed the man of his watch and chain value $60.
(2.) On the 29th April a European girl while in Kennedy Road was robbed of a gold
bracelet value $15 by three men.
(3.) On the 12th May while two European ladies were walking on Bowen Road, they were attacked by four men from behind, who pushed them down the hillside and robbed them of a gold watch and chain and bracelets value $115.
(4.) On the 24th July while a European lady was walking on Lower Richmond Road a Chinaman caught her by the throat threw her down and stole a piece of gold chain value $25.
In none of these four cases was any arrest made.
On the 1st August, a Chinese named KWAN Po snatched a purse containing money from a European lady in Queen's Road Central, and was pursued and arrested by a European civilian, who handed him over to the Police. The thief was identified as the man who committed the robberies on Kennedy and Lower Richmond Roads and was convicted at the Criminal Sessions for the three crimes. Since this man's arrest the robberies on the Upper Roads have ceased.
The increase in robbery in the Old Territory over the figures for the years 1898 and 1897 is not satisfactory.
I attribute it in a great measure to the disturbed condition of the neighbouring province, where robbery and piracy are rampant.
It must also be remembered, however, that the Police Force has been very short of European Police during the year, and that a very large number of the Indian and the Chinese Police doing duty in the Old Territory were recruits with little experience.
:
336
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
It is, however, satisfactory to note that only one gang robbery was reported in the City of Victoria. It was alleged to have occurred in the Western District of the City, but was a doubtful report.
I would also draw attention to the fact that whereas thirty-four cases of robbery were reported in the New Territory up to the 30th of September, only eight cases have been reported since that date.

TRIAD SOCIETY.
This Society became very active in the New Territory during the summer, the object of the leading members being apparently to enrich themselves at the expense of law-abiding people.
Subscriptions for the Society were freely demanded to support, as the victims were made to believe, a rebellion against the British, and threats were used when other means to obtain money failed. Endeavours to induce people to inform against their persecutors were unsuccessful, so great is the terror inspired by the Society. A raid, therefore, was made simultaneously at five different places in the New Territory in October, and several important arrests were made. The fishermen at Kat 0, a village on Crescent Island in Mirs Bay, had been greatly harassed by the Society, and the Police were fortunate enough to arrest two leading members of the Society there, and to get evidence of robbery and rape against one, who was convicted at the December Sessions and sentenced to 9 years' imprisonment with hard labour; and of robbery against the other, who was also convicted and sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment with hard labour.
Two other prominent members of the Society were arrested with insignia or writings of the Society in their possession, convicted of being members of the Triad Society, and sent to gaol. These arrests and convictions had a beneficial effect, but the Society requires to be closely watched.
8.
PIRACY.
The launch Fei On, running between Victoria, Tung Chung and Tai O in Lantao, was, after leaving Tung Chung for Tai O on the 11th December about 4 p.m., seized by 4 armed men who had embarked as passengers at Victoria and who were joined, as soon as they had overpowered the crew, by a number of men who were waiting for the launch in a boat. The pirates then took charge of the launch, steamed up the Canton River and committed, during the night, robberies on another launch and four junks, leaving the Fei On near the Bogue the following day after landing property out of the Fei On to the value of $100 and a quantity of goods stolen from the other craft that had been robbed. pirates landed in Chinese territory.
9.
ASSAULTS ON POLICE.
The
On the 9th October at 5 a.m. an Indian Constable on duty near Kowloon City was attacked by two Chinamen who severely cut and wounded him and stole his carbine, watch and turban. removed to hospital where be remained till the 15th November. No arrest was made.
On the 18th December about 1.30 a.m. two Indian Constables while on patrol on Lamma Island near the village of Yung Shui Wan were attacked by about 20 Chinese who sprang on them from ambush and severely cut and wounded the Constables, cut up their leather accoutrements and threw them with the men's carbines into the bushes close by where they were subsequently found. The Constables were removed to hospital. One was discharged on the 18th instant and the other is still in hospital.
Both cases are believed to be the work of the Triad Society as revenge for the arrest and convic- tion of prominent members of it.
Four men were arrested on Lamma Island and were committed for trial on charges of robbery and piracy at the Sessions which opened a few hours after the latter of these two attacks was made. One of the four is a notorious robber and pirate who was wanted by the Police for a robbery coin- mitted at Lantao in May last. He is also said to be an influential member of the Triad Society. He was convicted at the Sessions and sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment with hard labour, and two of the other three shared the same fate, while the fourth, who had shot and wounded one of the crew of the junk they robbed, was sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment with hard labour.
337
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
Four men were arrested in connection with the second attack on the Police, but the prosecution of them was dropped for want of sufficient evidence.
10.
GAMBLING.
There has been no recrudescence of gambling in public gambling houses during the year, but there is evidence that illegal gambling in Chinese Clubs is becoming more rife.
The Wai Seng Lottery Agencies in the Colony have not been altogether stamped out, and will always give trouble as long as the lottery is officially recognised in the neighbouring Colony of Macao. Gambling has been suppressed in the New Territory to the great benefit, in my opinion, of the population, and the action taken by Government seems to be supported by public opinion among all the respectable inhabitants of the Territory.
11.
DRUNKENNESS.
The number of cases for the year was 28 less than that of last year.
There are in the Colony 24 houses which are licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquor on the premises. Two licensees were convicted for selling liquor during the prohibited hours-one was fined $50 and the other bound over.
12.
PROSTITUTION.
The Protection of Women and Girls Amendment Ordinance came into operation at the end of October, and under its wholesome provisions it has already been found possible to rid the Central portion of the City of an immense number of brothels which, owing to the antipathy of the Chinese and even of numbers of Europeans to protect themselves by means of Ordinances No. 14 of 1845 and No. 6 of 1894, had monopolised whole streets in the heart of the commercial and residential quarters of the City. A number of brothels have closed entirely. the inmates having left the Colony, which, it is to be hoped, will henceforth not be that centre of attraction for prostitutes from all corners of the globe that it has been in the past.
Before the end of the year three prosecutions were instituted under section 3 of the Ordinance against keepers of brothels, and two convictions obtained.
13.
PROPERTY REPORTED STOLEN AND PROPERTY RECOvered.
The value of property stolen during the year was $76,806.69, of this amount over $8,000 in value was reported stolen in the New Territory.
The value of that recovered by the Police and restored to owners was $2,907.51.

15.
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 1,029 rifles, 650 revolvers, 63.370 rounds of ammunition, 101 kegs of gunpowder, 71 bayonets and swords, 30,080 empty rifle cartridge-cases and 5,237 boxes of caps. In one of these seizures (made in Mirs Bay) a book was found shewing a systematic trade in the smuggling of arms between the Chinese Arms Dealers in Hongkong and a shop in the Kwai Sin District in China.
16.
OPIUM ORDINANCES.
One thousand four hundred and ninety-five (1,495) search warrants for prepared opium were executed by the Police and Excise Officers of the Opium Farmer. In 413 cases opium was found. Three seizures of raw opium illegally moved were made. The quantity was 27 chests of Patna and 226 catties of Mulwa.

In respect of the balances, scales and measures found incorrect, 26 prosecutions were instituted and a conviction obtained in 25 cases.
There were five prosecutions and an equal number of convictions for obstructing the Examiner. No prosecution has been instituted when weights and measures are only slightly incorrect. European measures include liquor measures which have now been procured by the publicans according to law.
18.
FOOD AND DRUGS ORDINANCE.
Twenty-five samples of intoxicating liquor were obtained from public-houses and licensed grocers and submitted to analysis. On the report of the Government Analyst one prosecution was instituted and a conviction obtained. The licence has been in this case cancelled. The cheap liquor which was formerly sold is not now met with.

POLICE FORCE.
Table E shows the Strength, Enlistments and Casualties in the Force during 1899.
Thirty-eight European recruits were engaged during the year. Three came from the Plymouth Police, two from Edinburgh City Police, one was an approved candidate on the roster for the Royal Irish Constabulary, twelve were volunteers from the Royal Marines, and 19 were obtained locally, viz., three from the Army, sixteen from the Mercantile Marine, and one who had purchased his discharge but re-enlisted after four months' absence. Of the men obtained locally three were dismissed for drunkenness and two for being absent from duty and station, eight resigned either during their term of three months' probation or when their probation expired, and six are still serving. The men obtained from the Mercantile Marine were enlisted for the Water Police, and proved for the most part totally unfitted for the responsible position of Police.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
Six European Police resigned to join the Sanitary Department as Sanitary Inspectors.
339
In connection with the policing of the New Territory, two Non-Commissioned Officers and 22 men of the Royal Welch Fusiliers were by permission of His Excellency the General Officer Commanding enrolled as Special Constables, and one Non-Commissioned Officer and 11 men are still serving. These men have conducted themselves extremely well and have rendered very useful service to the Police, and my thanks are due to the Military Authorities for the assistance afforded my Department.
There were also enlisted 125 Indians, 13 Chinese for the Land Force, 26 Chinese for the Water Police, besides 4 coxswains, 4 engineers and 4 stokers for launch work.
More Chinese for the Land Force would have been enlisted had they been obtainable. Recruiting for the Chinese Land Force, despite the recent increase of pay, is still backward, there being 7 vacan- cies at the end of the year.
It was expected that recruits would have been obtained from amongst the peasants in the New Territory, but with 4 exceptions the few who enlisted for the Land Force resigned before their periods of probation had expired.
Drill and discipline appear to be peculiarly distasteful to Chinese in and around this Colony, and the constantly increasing rates of wages given by private employers of labour render the rates obtaining in the Police Force not sufficiently attractive.
Two large launches were chartered for patrolling the new waters of the Colony, and began work as soon as the Territory was taken over.
A steam pinnace was also detached for duty in Mirs Bay.
These vessels have undoubtedly been of service in preventing robberies and piracies in the extended waters of the Colony.
Since the New Territory was taken over the following Stations have been opened there:-

The number of reports against Europeans was 75 as against 41 in 1898; of these 19 were for drunkenness as against 8 in the previous year; 2 for asleep on duty as against 7; 2 for disorderly conduct and fighting, and 2 for sitting down on duty as against 4 and 2 respectively, and 11 for neglect of duty as against 2 last year.
The 19 reports for drunkenness were incurred by 13 men, of whom 5 were responsible for 11 reports. Three of these 5 were enlisted locally for the Water Police, and have been dismissed.
One European Sergeant was convicted by the Magistrate for assault. The conduct of the Contingent as a whole has been very good.
There were 320 reports against men of the Indian Contingent as compared with 314 for last year. For drunkenness there were 11 against 14 in 1898; 9 for disorderly conduct against 15; 32 for neglect of duty against 39; 68 for absence from duty against 40; 55 for gossiping and idling on duty against 52, and 25 for asleep on duty against 12 in the previous year.
Three constables were convicted before the Magistrate one for giving false evidence, one for preferring a malicious charge and one for assault. The conduct of the Contingent has been very good.
The Chinese Contingent is reponsible for 634 reports against 572 in 1898.
There were no reports for drunkenness; asleep on duty increased from 67 to 80, disorderly conduct from 19 to 22, and absence from station, duty and parades has increased from 209 to 260.
340
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
One Chinese Constable was convicted at the August Sessions of the Supreme Court for larceny and sentenced to 9 months' hard labour, another Constable was sentenced in November Sessions to 12 months' hard labour for offering a bribe to another Constable.
Seven Constables were convicted before the Magistrate-1 for preferring a false charge, one for being found in a gambling house, three for assault, one for disorderly conduct in Court, and one for unlawful possession; and one Sergeant Interpreter for assault.
The reports in the Chinese Contingent have been increased by the unsatisfactory conduct of the Water Police, and by many men absenting themselves without leave when slightly indisposed through fear of the Plague.
23.
REWARDS.
During the year, one European Inspector and one Chinese Sergeant were granted 4th and 2nd class Good Conduct Medals respectively by authority of the Governor for activity and zeal in the dis- charge of their duties, and for the same reasons two Chinese and two Indian Constables were granted rewards. Two European and one Chinese Sergeant were rewarded for activity and intelligence in effecting the arrest of 4 robbers on Lamma Island.
One Indian Constable was rewarded for the plucky manner in which he acted in arresting five men for assault.
One Chinese Constable was rewarded for arresting a man for stealing gas lamp burners and an- other for arresting 4 robbers at Mong-kok-tsui.
24.
PLAGUE SERVICES.
Eight Chinese Police were detailed for duty at the Tung Wah Hospital in connection with the plague from the 8th April to 26th of July.

In addition to those treated in hospital for fever from the New Territory, 22 Europeans, 34 Indians and 10 Chinese were treated in their various stations for fever without being removed to hospital.
The stations in the New Territory where the men suffered most from fever were Tai-po, Fu Ti Au and Au Tau, where they were living in matsheds.
26.
EDUCATION.
During the year, 1 European and 8 Indians obtained certificates for knowledge of Chinese.
I append a report from Mr. W. M. B. ARTHUR, Master-in-charge, on the work of the Police School during the year.
27.
DRILL.
Steady progress has been made in drill, under the direction of the Deputy Superintendent, and recruits have had the advantage of being instructed by Colour Sergeant KELLY of the Royal Welch Fusiliers assisted by three non-commissioned Officers of the Hongkong Regiment in addition to Police Instructors.
The European and Indian Contingents went through a course of musketry, the conditions of which were different from those hitherto in force; no exact comparisons can therefore be made be- tween the shooting of this and previous years, but the Instructor considers that the Europeans shot well, while the marksmanship of the Indians, allowance being made for the unusually large number of ree uits, may also be considered good.
28.
Another year
BARRACKS.
has passed without it being found possible to build a new Police Station at West Point, which is much needed.
Three Police Stations were built during the year in the New Territory-at Tai-po, Au Tau (near Un Long) and Ping Shan--but the latter is not quite ready for occupation.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
341
At Kowloon City and Cheung Chau the Police are quartered in the old Customs Stations there. At Shatin the former Customs Station is occupied by the European and Chinese Police while the Indian Police are housed in the flimsiest of matsheds.
At Starling Inlet the Police are under canvas, and a station is urgently needed for their accommodation. At Sheung-shui (close to Fu Ti An where the Police were accommodated in a matshed during the summer), San-tin, Ping Shan, Tai O, Tung Chung and Yeung Shui Wan the Police are using Chinese houses.
A Police Station is urgently required at Sai Kung in the Tung-hoi District where no Police are stationed at present for want of suitable accommodation.

POLICE SCHOOL,
HONGKONG, 29th January, 1900.
SIR, I have the honour to submit, for your information, the following Report on the Police School for 1899.
On my return from leave in January last the services of Mr. DEALY were discontinued. In March Mr. DUGGAN was appointed Secretary to the Sanitary Board, and Mr. DEALY succeeded him in the Police School.
During the year, 10 European Constables have obtained Certificates exempting them from School attendance.
Two Gaol Guards who attended School passed the Board of Examiners and obtained Certificates in English.
The new Reading Book with translations of the lessons in Chinese and Urda, compiled by the Honourable Captain Superintendent, was introduced during the year, and at once took the fancy of those men who were able to read their own language. Being confined principally to subjects in connection with Police duties, the book serves a most useful purpose and is of great assistance both to teachers and men.
The attendance during the year has been much affected by so many men having been required for service in the New Territory.
The number of Indian Warders, &c. from the Gaol has increased, and there are now 43 of these on the School Roll.
Four Chinese Apprentices from the Afforestation Department commenced attendance on the 21st December. The conduct and attention of the men attending have been most satisfactory.
The following shows the total attendance for 1899:-
Europeans,
Indian Police Constables,
Chinese,
Indian Gaol Guards,
Indian Assistant Warders,

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, HongKong, 19th January, 1900.
SIR, --I have the bonoar to present the following Report on Queen's College for the year 1899.
1. The total number on Roll was 1,344, the same figure as in 1898. The attendance, however, shows a very marked improvement, 204,021 for 230 instead of 176,867 for 235 days; after reducing attendances of 1898 pro rata to the same number of days 230, we find an increase in 1899 of 30,917 attendances. The highest monthly attendances 1,072, 1,070 and 1,055 actually exceed the total annual rolls of the years 1892-1896. The largest number of boys present on one day was 1,031; more than were present in 1895 throughout the whole year.
as of
2. Hence it would appear that we are justified in considering the increased demand for admission,
This a permanent mature. presents a remarkable contrast to the condition of affairs that existed in the early sixties, when the offer of free education, including the loan of books, was required to induce Chinese boys to come to the Central School to learn English. The natural conclusion is that the time has come when it is no longer necessary for the Government to continue to provide books, &c., for the pupils. I accordingly recommended that boys at Queen's College should, as at other schools, purchase their own school material; which recommendation on the advice of the Governing Body was approved by His Excellency the Governor (C.S.O. 1094/99). The new rule which came into force from the 1st January, 1900, will cause an additional annual expense to each boy varying from 70 cents to 6 dollars; while, on the other hand, the Government will be relieved of an annual outlay of $1,650.
3. The revenue from fees was $27,245 which is more than double the collection in 1897, and an increase of $5,652 on the amount in 1898. The total expenditure in Cash Book and Crown Agents' Account was $1,460 less than the sum provided in the Estimates. The increase of the Gross Expen- diture by $3,600 is due chiefly to the item Adjustment of Exchange in England, but partly to the increase in Expenditure referred to in para. 7 of my last report.

Of 1864 I can find no financial details in the Gazette.
In 1894 the attendances were affected by the plague, and the remission of over $2,000 fees unduly swells the Government share of expense in that year. It will be observed that the respective costs to boys and Government, the figures of which were practically stationary for fifteen years, have been progressing steadily in an inverse ratio since my arrival in 1882.

6. From absence and resignation the staff has been shorthanded this year, and frequent changes have ensued. Four out of ten English masters have been absent throughout the year, The Second Master, Mr. A. J. MAY, went on leave in March. Mr. MACHELL was on leave the whole twelve months. The services of Mr. JONES were retained at the Supreme Court. The tenth master provided on the Estimates has only just entered on his duties in June, Mr. JAMES resigned on obtaining the appoint- ment of Second Master at King's College, Bangkok. His example was followed in August by Mr. U HANG KAM, Native Mathematical Master, who left the Colony for Manila. In November Mr. WONG KWOK-U was temporarily transferred to the Supreme Court on probation. A serious loss to the College was caused at the end of December by the resignation of the Second Chinese Assistant Mr. LUK KING-FO, who is entering upon a mercantile career. In January, 1882, when I held my first Annual Examination Mr. LUK was proxime accessit to the Morrison Scholar, and in the following year was appointed to his late post. In his relations with masters and boys, he merited and enjoyed their highest respect and esteem. His classes invariably passed with great credit. No man has been more successful as a master in teaching English to Chinese boys; nor has any Chinese Assistant excelled him in his strenuous and persistent efforts to master fully the difficulties of the English language.
7. Mr. A. W. GRANT, B.A., of Pembroke College, Cambridge, appointed to the additional master- ship mentioned in my last report, arrived at the end of August. The appointment of Mr. B. TANNER to the vacancy caused by Mr. JAMES' resignation was approved by the Secretary of State, but has only just come into effect, on the expiration of the due notice required by the terms of his late agree- ment. We were fortunate in April in securing the services of Mr. JAMES CHEONG, graduate of Melbourne University, as a substitute for Mr. JONES. Mr. NG IN, Third Chinese Assistant, has been promoted to the post vacated by Mr. LUK. A scheme for articling three additional Pupil Teachers, and for improving the salaries of the Junior Chinese Assistants is under consideration.
8. The results of the Oxford Local Examinations are as follows :-Of seven Senior candidates, six of whom were Chinese, four or 57% passed; of the Juniors all non-Chinese, only one out of seven or 14% passed. We sent in no Preliminary candidate. C. B. HAYWARD, who headed in 1898, our Junior list and was distinguished in English, occupied the same position and obtained the same distinction as a Senior, last July.

9. I am happy to report that four Free Scholars from the Government District Schools were elected last March and have worked most satisfactorily in the Fourth Class to which they were admitted.
10. The year under review has been most prolific in schemes for arousing the interest of pupils in matters not connected with scholastic routine. Mr. JAMES before his departure inaugurated the publication of a school magazine called "The Yellow Dragon" which has met with an enthusiastic reception, has been kindly welcomed by its contemporaries, and has so far proved a financial success; Messrs. BARLOW and RALPHS adopted the fatherless infant on the departure of Mr. JAMES. Mr. DEALY, Acting Second Master, started a Reading Club which now numbers 80 members among the Upper School boys; they subscribe for some school-boy papers, as well as the Pall Mall and Daily Graphic; the Weekly Times and Public Opinion have been added at the request of the Chinese Assistants. To Mr. DEALY too we are indebted for a couple of dozen fine photogravure plates, views of London, which give an excellent idea of the magnificent buildings and crowded thoroughfares of our great metropolis. These pictures adorn the walls of our First Class, and should excite intelligent interest and provide food for reflection. Mr. WOODCOCK has been very energetic and successful in organising various cricket clubs for boys, past and present, including Chinese. Picnics and excursions chiefly for non-Chinese boys have been personally conducted by Messrs. RALPHS and BARLOW.
11. We hail with delight the cleansing of the Augean stables which renders unnecessary a repetition of the piteous plaints of the past, about the immorality of the neighbourhood.
12. The following is my report on the Lower and Preparatory Schools, the examination of which has been entrusted to the Head Master by a standing order of the Governing Body

Compared with last year, 56 more boys were examined, and 72 more boys passed. The work in the Lower School shows considerable improvement, though the standard in Arithmetic and Grammar is still too low. The Preparatory School maintains its usual high average.

13. 119 boys from this College obtained various situations in the Colony and elsewhere. Of these 21 were employed by Her Majesty's Government, and 35 by local professional and mercantile firms.
14. I desire once again to express our warmest thanks to donors of prizes, without whose generosity only half of our deserving boys would have their exertions recognised. In this long list Sir THOMAS JACKSON. Mr. ROMANO, Mr. MODY, Mr. WHILEY and the Tung Wa Hospital Committee; and amongst old scholars Messrs. FUNG WA CHUN, O TUNG, HO FUK, SIN TAK-FAN, LEUNG YAN-PO, TAM TSZ-KONG, THOI CHEE-BEE, and NG KWOK-CHING are representative names.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.
HONGKONG, 20th January, 1900.
SIR,--We have the honour to present, for the information of the Governing Body, our report on the Upper School of Queen's College.
We examined 237 boys, of whom 186 or 79% passed.
We were much struck by the high average of intelligence displayed by the boys, Chinese and non-Chinese, in both oral and written examination.
The neatness of the papers, and the good quality of the handwriting are also worthy of special mention.
We are not in a position to compare the present result with previous performances, but have no hesitation in pronouncing the work of a large proportion of the boys excellent; while the bulk of each class has done creditably in the various subjects offered, which are so many as sixteen in the first class, and a dozen in the other classes.
The high quality of the teaching imparted by the various masters is thus amply attested, and we are pleased to note that the work of classes 2 (B) and 3 (B) under Chinese assistants compares quite favourably with that of the Senior sections of the same classes under English Masters.
We were particularly pleased with the work of 2 (A), which maintained a high standard throughout the class in all subjects.
We abstain from commenting on the manifest weakness of boys at the bottom of all classes, as we believe this to be a natural condition and an almost universal experience.
The papers set were quite as long as those in the Oxford Local Examinations, and in matter bore a strong resemblance to them. With the exception of two questions eliminated, one in Algebraic Factorisation in Class 1, and the other on Railways in Class 2, Geography, all the questions were successfully tackled by one or more boys.
Reading.-Generally high marks were awarded, phrasing and enunciation being careful and good. Conversation. Most boys responded well to questions designedly set to test their intelligent knowledge of English idiom.
Grammar.-Accidence, Parsing and Analysis were distinctly good, 3 (A) and (B) particularly so. Composition. In writing stories from memory after dictation, many independent idioms and phrases were successfully employed, and in some cases imagination was exerted with good effect. The Essay in the Senior Chinese and non-Chinese classes was good as regards composition, but poor in failing to adhere to the required point.
History.-Generally excellent, specially high marks were obtained in this subject.
Geography.Good, but the Map-drawing from memory was not a success, especially was this the case in the attempts at Italy and the South Eastern counties of England in Classes 2 and 3.
Shakespeare. On the whole well done by the few boys that offered it. The portion of the play had been carefully studied and by many intelligently understood.
Mathematics.--The standard attained here is not high. There is too large a proportion of work hopelessly bungled, giving evidence of mental confusion, which it is the chief object of these sciences to remove. There is special need of improvement here, on the part of non-Chinese boys, who confess their weakness by offering as their highest standard the work of Class 2 and their failing wholesale in Algebra and Euclid.
A very common failing was the absence of attempt to draw diagrams at all representing the facts-as when a line that is equal to another by "construction" is drawn less than half its proper size-or when the production of a straight line forms an obtuse angle with the original section. Careless work of this kind naturally leaves room for gross errors in subsequent proof.
Bookkeeping.Good. No boy in 1 (A) obtained full marks, the chief errors being ignorance of how to deal with Trade and Personal Expenses. The elementary paper of 2 (A) was well done. Mensuration.-The general remarks on Mathematics apply here. A few boys did very well. Physiology and Natural Science.-Offered by 1 (C) were highly satisfactory showing careful instruction in elementary work.
Shorthand.--Mr. BARLOW, the class master of 1 (C) reports that the Senior section of this non- Chinese class showed a high standard of attainment, while the Junior section was unsatisfactory.
Dictation.--This subject is specially difficult to Chinese, who easily multiply errors by the omission or insertion of -s, -ed, &c., &c. A large number of Chinese boys, however, obtained over 80% and a few full marks. The Junior section of the first class were unable to cope with an unseen selection.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 10TH MARCH, 1900.
Translations.-1. Chinese to English.-Of five questions in each paper, one was a simple unseen piece of Chinese. This was fairly attempted by many, but correctly translated by few. In some instances there was manifested surprising ignorance of the Chinese language: as when the verb ts'ai was taken for the name of a State or surname, contrary to context: or when the simple phrase edge of the forest" was transliterated as a man's name. The memoriter work was well done, and should supply good material for employment in composition.
2. English to Chinese.-These were corrected and marked by the Acting Second Master, Mr. DEALY, and the Senior Chinese Assistant, Mr. CHIU CHI-TSUNG, who report a fairly high average of good work done, several boys getting over 90% marks and a good many full marks.
We append the usual tables of marks.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 104.
The following Report of the Superintendent of Fire Brigade for 1899, which was laid before the Legislative Council this day, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th March, 1900.
F. II. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.
POLICE OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 6th February, 1900.
SIR,I have the honour to subunit the following report on the Government Fire Brigade for the year 1899.
2. There were 31 Fires and 97 Incipient Fires during the year. attached. The Brigade turned out 38 times during the year.
Details regarding each are
The estimated damage caused by the fires was $829,814 and by the incipient fires $354.
3. Very serious damage was caused by the fire at Nos. 24 and 25, Praya, Kennedy Town, which was undoubtedly caused by the careless storage of cotton which had become wet by rain falling at the time.
But the year will be remembered by the disastrous fire at the Chap Yik Godown in Hing Lung Lane by which property to the value of some $500,000 was destroyed. The fire originated among some matting on the upper floor of a compartment of the godown on the ground floor of which were stored in close proximity large quantities of sulphur and saltpetre.
The Brigade, which had timely notice of the fire, was engaged in extinguishing it and there is no doubt would have done so before the fire could have spread to any of the seven adjoining compart- ments of the godown, when a violent explosion took place which blew a portion of the roof off that particular compartment of the godown and shattered a portion of its walls.
One of the firemen was seriously burnt about the face and hands, and injured about the head by falling bricks, and narrowly escaped with his life.
A few minutes afterwards another terrific explosion occurred. The remainder of the roof was lifted off that half of the godown which is on the East side of Hing Lung Lane, and an immense mass of burning matter was blown into the air to a height of from 50 to 60 feet while the four compartments of the godown on the opposite of the lane were set on fire.
The roof of an adjoining building on the East side was seriously damaged, and a building in Queen's Road West at a distance of 100 yards was ignited by burning debris and completely destroyed. There was a very large quantity of Chinese crackers stored in the Chap Yik Godown, but not in the immediate proximity of the seat of the original fire. Owing to the fact that the Brigade were diven out of Hing Lung Lane by the first explosion it is impossible to absolutely locate the seat of the second explosion, but I think there is little doubt that it occurred on the ground floor of the compartment (known as No. 4 Godown) in which the fire originated.
4. A searching enquiry was held by the Acting Police Magistrate into the origin of and cir- cumstances attending this fire, and Captain LANGHORNE, of the Royal Artillery and Ordnance Depart- ment, gave evidence regarding the capacity for explosion of Chinese fire crackers, while Mr. F. BROWNE, Government Analyst, gave evidence on the subject of explosion caused by the fusing of saltpetre and sulphur.
The evidence of these gentlemen is of so much importance that I append a copy of it.
5. The danger arising out of the uncontrolled storage of fire crackers is one that had not escaped attention, and long before this fire occurred proposals were under consideration for guarding against it, and a Bill is about to be introduced into the Legislature dealing with the subject.
There are no regulations for the storage of sulphur or saltpetre, and this is a matter which is now receiving attention. I confess it had escaped ine before.
6. 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.
7. The water in the mains was not turned off at any time during the year.
8. I attach a list of places where Fire Despatch Boxes are kept and copy of a report by the Engineer on the state of the Fire Engines, which are all in good order.
9. The Fire Station: Yaumati was strengthened during the year by transferring thither a steam Fire Engine and the ressary staff to work it.

The mobility of the Brigade at the Central Fire Station has been materially increased by the acquisition from Messrs. MERRYWEATHER & SONS of a quatricycle despatch box by means of which 4 firemen can transport themselves and 600 feet of hose and the necessary appliances to the scene of a fire in a very short time.
There has not yet been sufficient opportunity to thoroughly test the usefulness of this machine, but it has already proved of service and ought to be a valuable aid to the Brigade.
10. The shelters for despatch boxes referred to in paragraph 7 of my report for 1898 have proved useful. The telephones fixed at certain points as described in paragraph 8 of the same report have not been availed of by the Public as yet.
11. No addition has yet been made to the ladder supply of the Brigade. I have been in com- munication with Messrs. MERRYWEATHER & SONS, and with their Agents in the Colony, on the subject of ladders, but have found it impossible to decide on what type would be most suitable for the peculiar conditions obtaining in this City.
The assistance of Mr. WODEHOUSE, C.M.G., for many years Superintendent of the Brigade, is now being sought to inspect the various patterns of ladders at home and to make a selection from among them.
12. The conduct of the Brigade during the year has been good,
The Honourable
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

I have the honour to be,
The Honourable
F. H. MAY, C.M.G.,
Superintendent,
Government Fire Brigade.
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN W. KINGHORN,
Chief Engineer, Government Fire Brigade.
(Evidence given by Capt. Langhorne and Mr. Frank Browne at the Magisterial Enquiry into the Origin of the Fire at the Chap Yik Godown.)
Captain LANGHORNE said-I am an officer of the Ordnance Department. I have made experiments with crackers similar to those produced. One kind was put in close confinement in a small cylinder, was heated in a fire and burst very violently. About one-third of the cracker exploded. The other kind of cracker, when subjected to similar treatment, produced very much the same result. The experiments were carried out in an ordinary forge fire, gradually heated up. I should think the explosion occurred at from 600 to 700 degrees Fahr
Mr. MAY-Supposing that cracker box was full of either of these kinds of crackers, and it was exposed to a severe heat at a fire, what do you imagine the effect would be ?
Witness-I should think if a good many of the boxes were put so that they formed a big pack, the ones inside would be so heated that they would explode, and then the outside ones would probably be blown outwards, of course--that is to say, if they had not been burned before. I should think there would be sufficient restraint on the inside ones to produce a fairly violent explosion.
Mr. MAY--Supposing you had 500 or 600 stored in this room, and they were subjected to such a heat as would cause them to explode as you describe, can you tell us what you would expect the effect would be on the building?
Witness-It would certainly be an extremely violent explosion, sufficient to do a good deal of damage. I think the explosion would be local. It would be more or less on the same lines as the explosion of a cap. The explosion would spread by throwing debris and burning rubbish, and even by throwing the crackers themselves, about the place. The actual effects of the explosion, however, would be purely local.
}
(Witness was shown some ether specimens of crackers.
Mr. MAY-From the experiments made with these two kinds of crackers you have experimented upon, do consider these crackers dangerous articles?
you
Witness--I should think they were dangerous articles unless special precautions were taken for their custody. They are pretty easily ignited. I do not suppose they would ignite through friction- anyone treading on them-but in case of fire it would be extremely dangerous.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MARCH, 1900.
377
Mr. MAY-Do you consider it safe to allow them to be stored in unlimited numbers? Witness-I think they should be stored in a certain way. I should allow for air space in storing. The Magistrate-Do you think they are likely to be exploded by spontaneous combustion or by friction?
Witness-It is extremely unlikely.
?
FRANK BROWNE, Government Analyst, said-I have experimented with saltpetre and sulphur with a view to seeing whether sulphur and saltpetre exploded when heated together. I found that when sulphur and saltpetre are heated together above the melting point of each that they give rise to an explosion. The sulphur is dissolved into a very large volume of gas and the mixture of melted saltpetre and sulphur emits a dazzling white heat. On January 13, I was shown over the scene of the fire by P. C. MACKAY. I examined No. 4 Godown and found there some melted saltpetre. In No. 6 Godown I found a large quantity of saltpetre had been liquified by the heat-in fact, there was a layer of saltpetre one foot thick. A low grade heat is quite enough to melt either saltpetre or sulphur.
Mr. MAY-We have it in evidence that this No. 4 Godown was stored on the upper floor with a large quantity of matting, and that there was a fierce fire burning there when the firemen got there. There was also a certain amount of fire on the ground floor. Would such a heat as that be sufficient to liquify the sulphur and saltpetre?
Witness-I think so, because after the first explosion I presume the floor fell in. All the saltpetre would not fuse at once. A portion would fuse, and the intensity of the union of the two would be such that a much larger quantity would fuse.
Mr. MAY-We have it in evidence that there was over 4,000 packages of saltpetre stored on the ground floor of No. 4, and 300 bags of sulphur close to them--the man said about two feet away from the saltpetre. We were also told that there were about 150 catties of saltpetre in a package, and a picul in a bag of sulphur-i.e., 300 pieuls of sulphur. Would the explosion produced by the liquify- ing of these quantities be sufficient to account for the accident which occurred at the godown described by the firemen ?
Witness-That would cause an enormous explosion.
Mr. MAY-Do you think it a safe thing to store sulphur alongside of saltpetre?
Witness-No; they should not be stored together.
Mr. MAY-Is it safe to store sulphur with any other explosive substance? Witness-No.
Witness further said that he did not think sulphur would produce an explosion by itself.

""
2. AND WHEREAS I opposed the said motion on the grounds that the said Bill was a totally different Bill from that read a second time on the 30th November last, and I submitted that it should be treated as a new Bill, re-introduced, read a first time and published in the Gazette, AND WHEREAS the majority of the Council was of another opinion, and the Council went into Committee, AND WHEREAS in Committee I moved that the consideration of the Bill in Committee be adjourned to allow the important alterations in the Bill to be considered by Honourable Members, AND WHEREAS the majority of the Council was of another opinion, AND WHEREAS I thereupon desired to have my dissent recorded, and gave notice that I would at the then next meeting of Council lay upon the table the reasons for my dissent, under Rule 32 of the Standing Rules and Orders of the Council: Now, therefore, I lay upon the Council table a statement of my said reasons.

?
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH MARCH, 1900.
5. The essential differences are as follows:
415
(a.) The original Bill proposed the constitution of a Court to consist of three Members designated in the Bill by their offices, one of whom was the Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court, and another of them an experienced Solicitor. The amended Bill proposes to constitute a Court of two members only, to be appointed by the Governor without any restriction or provision to secure the appointment of any person as a member thereof possessed of legal knowledge or training.
(b.) The original Bill gave the proposed Court power to determine solely as to the right of existing owners and occupiers of land in the New Territories to obtain certificates or recognition of their titles. from the Crown. The amended Bill gives the proposed Court power to hear and determine ALL claims to land of any kind whatsoever in the New Territory notwithstanding any previous registration and whether arising between the Crown and the occu- piers or between owners, occupiers, or others.
(c.) The original Bill was framed for the purpose of enabling existing titles to be verified and authenticated by certificate from the Crown, and for preventing occupation of land after refusal of such certificate without a fresh grant from the Crown. (See section 12.) The amended Bill by section 15 confiscates to the Crown all the land in the New Territories, disregards all former titles, however old or well founded, and declares all occupants of land in the New Territories trespassers from a date to be hereafter defined by the Governor unless they obtain fresh titles from the Crown.
(d.) The original Bill was in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the Convention of the 9th June, 1898, for the cession of the New Territories. The amended Bill disregards and sets aside the provision of the said Convention against expropriation or expulsion of the inhabitants of the district included in the cession and declares the whole soil to be the property of the Crown.
(e.) The original Bill permitted parties to be represented by Counsel and Solicitor before the Court thereby constituted. The amended Bill takes away that right.
6. The amended Bill has not been published in the Gazette; has never been translated into Chinese nor published anywhere in the New Territory. It is a Bill that seriously affects existing private rights and against which all parties affected have the right to be heard by Counsel. No opportunity has been afforded them of even knowing that such a Bill is under consideration.
7. For the above reasons I protest against the further proceeding with this amended Bill. It should be re-introduced and read a first time. It should be translated into Chinese, duly published in the New Territory, and ample time given the owners and occupiers of land there to consider it and if need be oppose it. 8. I further protest against the Bill as a whole and on its merits as being in violation of the provisions of the Convention of the 9th June, 1898, relating to the New Territories.

NOTICE OF QUESTION.-Mr. WHITEHEAD gave notice that, at the next meeting, he would ask the following question:-
Will the Honourable the Registrar General inform the Council whether it is a fact that the occupants of disorderly houses who had been moved out of houses in the Central districts and gone into houses to the West thereof are again being moved, and if so whether the movements have been or are being effected by virtue of orders made by the Magistrate or by the summary actions of the Police?
QUESTION. Mr. WHITEHEAD, pursuant to notice, asked the following question :-
Has the attention of the Honourable the Director of Public Works been directed to the dangerous condition of Yee Woo Street at the corner of Mr. Kennedy's Horse Repository at Causeway Bay and alongside the site of the proposed new Laundry to be erected there; and to the fact that the south-east boundary stone of the latter lot projects some six inches above the level of the ground and has been placed well nigh in the middle of the road; and to the fact that on the south side a drain has been dug of considerable depth, without any protection; and will the Honourable member inform the Council why this state of matters is permitted to continue? The Director of Public Works replied as follows :--The question seems to refer, not to Yee Wo Street, in which no trench has been dug or boundary stone fixed, but to an unfinished road now under construction, leading to Tai Hang Village. The trench, two feet in depth, was opened in order that a water-main might be extended, the extension being rendered necessary by the sale of land in the neighbourhood. The boundary stone is not in the middle of any road, but correctly marks the boundary of land sold some time ago. While a road is in an incomplete state, the persons who elect to use it must necessarily suffer some inconvenience.
RESOLUTION. ---Mr. WHITEHEAD, pursuant to notice, moved the following Resolution, and addressed the Council:-
That the Honourable the Colonial Secretary lay upon the table a copy of the Crown Leases granted last autumn to the Eee Hing Company for the dredging and collecting of shells in and around

Provided also that this prohibition shall not apply so as to prevent the owner or master of any vessel from having on board such arms and ammunition as are reasonably neces- sary for the protection of such vessel, and provided that in the case of every junk or other Chinese vessel such arms and ammunition shall be described and enumerated in the licence or clearance issued by the Harbour Master: Provided also that this prohibition shall not apply to arms or ammunition consigned to a port other than Hongkong and in transitu and on board of any vessel as bona fide cargo and which have been entered upon the manifest of such vessel, or to arms or ammunition so consigned in course of tranship- ment in unbroken packages from one vessel to another if notice of such transhipment has been sent to the Captain Superintendent of Police or to ammunition which having been imported into the Colony is in the course of tranship- ment to the Government Gunpowder Depot, or which is being exported from the Colony direct from such Depot under a delivery order issued by the Harbour Master, or to arms and ammunition for the use of Her Majesty's Forces.

a. Premiums realised through the Sales of Land, Extensions, Ad-
justment of Boundaries, &c., in the year 1899,
b. Government Stores sold in 1899,

B. The principal item under extensions is a grant of some strects at Hunghom to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock
Company, who had become the owners of the adjoining houses and wished to add the whole to their establishment. C. The short leases, &e." are mostly comprised of grants to former holders of squatters' licences. In the New Territory
two Marine Lots near Lantao Island were leased for the purpose of coral fishing.
In addition to the above, a free grant of land has been made in Taipingshan (Inland Lot 1440) to the Director" of the Tung Wa Hospital for an extension of that Institution, and a lot has also been granted at Sandy Bay (Inland Lot 1572) to the same body for purposes of a Mortuary. A small lot (Inland Lot 1565) at Wanchai was granted to the Military Authorities for the erection of a Slaughter House for the use of Sikhs.
D. Facilities were given for the entry by the owners to lots on the Praya Reclamation amounting to 107,014 square feet,
bringing in an annual rent of $1,965.00.

F. One hundred and thirty-seven (137) sets of plans and particulars, in duplicate, of lots were furnished to the Land Office
for the preparation of leases.
Boundary stones were fixed to 73 lots.
G. A sum of $10,390.00 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.
H. The number of squatters' licences on the roll of 1st January, 1899, was 1,176 and the fees recoverable $3,405.21; 8 were written off during the year, leaving 1,168 on the roll at the close of the year. The recoveries amounted to $3,393.83.
I. It should be noted that the Acting Superintendent of Crown Lands, the Land Surveyor, and the Land Bailiff have been largely engaged on work beyond that of their respective offices. If this course is to be continued in the case of the Land Surveyor and Land Bailiff, the proper work of these officers must suffer even if it has not done so already.
WORK UNDER THE BUILDING ORDINANCE.
6. Plans have been deposited to the number of 549-29 for European dwellings, 89 for Chinese houses, and 431 for miscellaneous structures--an increase over the preceding year of 122 plans; all of these require to be carefully examined in the Public Works Office.
7. Certificates have been granted under Section 53 of Ordinance 15 of 1889 for 288 houses, permits given for the erection of 98 verandahs, and for 19 piers over Crown foreshore or the bed of the harbour.
8. Notices relating to structures in a dangerous condition have been served in 29 cases.
9. One thousand and seven hundred (1,700) notices and permits of a miscellaneous nature have been issued.
10. Fifty-six (56) permits have been issued for the erection and repairs of monuments and enclosures in the Colonial Cemetery, the fees for which amounted to $236.50.
11. There was great activity in building operations throughout the Colony during the year. The new and extensive premises and workshops of the Green Island Cement Company at Hok Un were completed, also the very large buildings of the Hongkong Cotton Spinning, Weaving and Dyeing Company at Causeway Bay. The Dock Company's premises at Hunghom were largely extended, a large Match Factory was also built near Hunghom, and numerous large blocks of tenement houses there, and at Yaumati.
12. The principal building completed in the City was the very handsome block of Offices, now known as Queen's Buildings, on the Reclamation near Peddler's Wharf consisting of four floors and containing sixteen suites of Offices.
The handsome Offices of the United Telegraph Companies next the Hongkong Club were com- pleted and occupied during the year, also a large block of buildings adjoining it on the East, next to Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE'S Offices.
13. Building of godowns and of Chinese houses on the new Reclamation has proceeded rapidly. 14. A large number of handsome European houses were completed, or nearly so, in the new district lying between Kennedy Road and Bowen Road, where land was eagerly sought for this purpose. In spite of this the supply is not equal to the demand, and rents continue to rise.
One fine European residence was completed and occupied in Barker Road, and four more are in process of erection.
WATER SUPPLY.
72.70 inches of rain were
15. In 1899 the rainfall was again considerably below the average. measured, against 57 inches in 1898, the average of previous years being 92.
Mr. CROOK, Executive Engineer in charge of the Water-works, reports as follows:-
MAINTENANCE OF WATER-WORKS.
CITY OF VICTORIA AND HILL DISTRICT.
a. Particulars of the quantity of water supplied to the City and Hill Districts during the year 1899, will be found in
Appendices A, B, C.
The total quantity supplied was 1,161,805,000 gallons filtered and 44,700,000 gallons unfiltered, giving a grand total of 1,206,505,000 gallons. Monthly reports from the Government Analyst shew the water supplied to have been consistently of excellent quality.
b. In consequence of the small rainfall during 1898, it became necessary to introduce the intermittent supply to the City
from April 1st to May 10th, and again from May 26th to June 7th.
c. Twenty million seven hundred and seventy-two thousand (20,772,000) gallons of water were pumped to the High Level Districts of the City, and 22,308,000 gallons to the Hill Districts during the year, giving a grand total of 43,080,000 gallons pumped. This is equivalent to an average daily consumption of 56,910 gallons in the High Level and 61,120 gallons in the Hill Districts.
d. The number of meters in use at the end of 1899 was 328 in the City and 131 in the Hill Districts--a large increase on
1898 and previous years.
e. The quantity of water supplied by meter was :--

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.
f. The average consumption of filtered water per day in the City and Hill Districts was 3,183,027 gallons, which with an
estimated population of 201,000 gives a daily consumption of 15.8 gallons per head for all purposes.
g. The consumption in the Hill Districts has increased considerably since mains were first laid at the Peak, and there has also been a steady increase in the consumption in the High Levels of the City (pumped supply) since 1895. This has necessitated additional pumping at all the Stations, the original pumping machinery laid down for the Peak doing practically full duty during the summer months. In order to meet the demand a new motor designed for pumping both to the Hill Districts and High Levels of the City, a new and more powerful pump for the Arbuthnot Road motor and the necessary rising mains were ordered from England during the year and will, it is hoped, be working before the summer of 1900.
Appendices D and E give details of the increased consumption in the Hill Districts and High Levels of the City, respectively.
4. During the year new services were constructed or old services extended in 619 instances and in addition 93 services were inspected and connected to the mains. The construction of private services by a public Department necessarily entails additional clerical work and a larger workshop staff; it has been continued because it ensures the construction of the services in accordance with the provisions of the Water-works Ordinance and the use of good materials. Judging by the large proportion of the total number of services which are constructed departmentally it would also appear to be a great convenience to the public.
?. Fire services were laid or extended during the year within Naval and Military properties. A fire service was also
permitted in the new Cotton Mill at East Point.
j. The services of 1,133 houses were inspected during the year; 1,040 were found in order, and 93 were defective, the defects
were all repaired after the usual notices had been served.
KOWLOON.
4. During the year there was a total consumption of 86,576,000 gallons, particulars of which will be found in Appendix F. This gives an average daily consumption of 237,194 gallons, or with an estimated population of 27,000 an average consumption of 8.8 gallons per head.
b. In consequence of the low rainfall and consequent scarcity of water, it became necessary to introduce the intermittent supply to the peninsula from January 7th to April 20th and during the greater part of May. In June, July and August it was again introduced owing to a difficulty with the pump valves.
c. Trouble was experienced throughout the year in passing water from No. 2 Valley through the syphon main; to overcome this difficulty a centrifugal pump with engine and boilers was erected at the main collecting well in the Valley and the water was then pumped through the main. The boilers used were those originally supplied and erected for working the engines in the Yaumati Pumping Station.
d. After the removal of the above boilers, steam was supplied to the engines in the Pumping Station by a spare boiler which had been erected as a stand-bye. In June a new and more powerful locomotive boiler arrived from England and was erected and the spare boiler reverted to the purpose of a stand-bye.
. The storage capacity for the Peninsula was increased during the year by raising the Dam of No. 1 Valley 5 feet; this work
was completed in June.
f. At the end of the year there were 101 meters in use in Kowloon.
g. During the year, 53 private services were constructed or repaired and 2 were inspected and connected to the mains.
SHAUKIWAN.
a. A full supply was maintained to the Village during the year. During September a meter was fixed on the outlet main from the service reservoir and since October 1st the whole supply to the village has passed through this meter.
b. The total supply for the three months, as registered by the meter, was 1,987,000 or an average consumption of 21,600
gallons per day.
c. During the year one private service was constructed and connected to the mains.

PUBLIC WORKS ANNUALLY RECURRENT.
16.-Maintenance of Buildings.-The chief item of expenditure incurred during the year on this vote was on Government House, which, having been very little used for some years, had fallen into a serious state of disrepair.
The sanitary arrangements had never been satisfactory, and required a complete overhaul, includ- ing proper
ventilation of the closets by carrying the soil pipes entirely outside the house and above the roof New baths of a modern type were fitted in several of the bath rooms. An examination of the verandah roofs, which had been patched and tinkered for years, revealed the fact that, owing to the ravages of white ants and dry rot, they were not only beyond repair but becoming unsafe. The entire roof was stripped, all rotten timbers removed, an enormous mass of double tiling got rid of, and an entirely new roof of a stronger but lighter description fixed; such timber as was found to be still sound and good being utilized. In many cases the floor joists were also found to be decayed, some important timbers being entirely destroyed and of the appearance of a sponge. In some cases steel rolled joists were substituted.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.
555
The ceilings throughout the building were of the extremely unsuitable Chinese pattern used in Hongkong, an imitation of English lath and plaster work, but being badly executed and with inferior material, constantly giving trouble, and at times positively dangerous, when large masses give way owing to sudden changes in the state of the atmosphere or concussion.
The Dining-room,
Drawing-room and North Hall ceilings were removed and replaced by ceilings of teak wood of a handsome design, the former stained and varnished and the two latter painted white. All the ceilings in the house should be so altered as funds admit of the work being undertaken. Many minor repairs were effected throughout the building, the total expenditure on it amounting to $9,799.
17. The next work of importance was the re-roofing of No. & Police Station, and the recon- struction of the block of cookhouses on the East side of it at an expenditure of $3,933.
18. The Central Market was painted and colour-washed throughout at a cost of $2,209. 19. The whole of the public latrines and most of the markets were white washed and repaired. 20. The canvas ceiling of the main hall of Queen's College, which was constantly requiring repairs, was removed and replaced by a wooden ceiling.
21. The smaller schools were whitewashed and minor repairs attended to.
22. Extensive repairs were also effected to the Gunpowder Depot at Stone Cutters' Island, the Infectious Hospital and Lunatic Asylum.
23. The Government Villas at the Peak were thoroughly overhauled and put in order.
24.- Maintenance of Telegraphs.-Telephone lines were maintained in good order during the year, and call for no special remark.
25.-Maintenance of Public Cemetery.--The Cemetery and buildings connected with it were maintained in good order during the year.
26.--Maintenance of Praya Wall and Piers.--The chief item of expenditure under this heading was in connection with the landing pier on Stone Cutters' Island.
27.----Maintenance of Light-houses.-The Light-houses in charge of the Department and quarters attached to them were lime-washed and minor repairs attended to.
28.--Dredging Foreshores.-The Dredger was largely employed during the year in removing accumulations of City refuse dropped into the harbour at the Dust Boat Stations. The Sanitary Board have been addressed on this matter, and in future it is hoped the scavenging contractor will be held responsible for this and compelled to pay the cost of dredging. When not so employed, the Dredger works in connection with the Praya Reclamation, or is occasionally lent on hire for private work, when it can be spared.
MISCELLANEOUS WORKS.
29. The following are the principal works sanctioned against this vote and carried out in 1899 :--
A public latrine of brick and stone masonry containing 20 seats near Ship Street, in lieu of
an old and dilapidated private latrine in the same locality now being removed.
An iron latrine containing 6 seats erected at Leighton Hill.
Alterations and improved fittings in the Post Office.
A new drying room added to the out buildings at the Lower Hospital.
A hot water installation at the Gaol for the use of the prisoners.
A sum of $1,300 from this vote was expended in forming a very useful ten-foot wide road con- necting the road through the Fo-pang Valley, generally known as the Yaumati Wells Road, with the New Kowloon City Road. This road has immensely improved the communication between the East and West sides of British Kowloon Peninsula, has opened up and given access to the large village of Matau-wei, and has proved a great boon to the numerous cyclists of the Colony.
The footpath leading from Victoria Gap to High West, and thence down by an easy gradient to the Pokfulam conduit and to Upper Richmond Road, was constructed. When this is opened into a road, it will certainly lead to the sale of many most desirable building sites in the neighbourhood of the High West Saddle, and afford an easy means of access to the Peak from the West side of the town. It may be considered as the upper portion of the road now being constructed from Glenealy, joining the Robinson Road with the conduit. There can be little doubt but that the sale of building sites that would shortly follow, would amply pay for the construction of the whole of this road, which would be about 3 miles in length.
The reconstruction of the timber portion of the Kowloon City Pier, which had become dangerous from the decay of the piles and timbers between high and low tide levels, was undertaken under this
vote.
556
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.
MAINTENANCE OF ROADS AND BRIDGES IN VICTORIA.
30. The roads in the City were maintained in fairly good order during the year. The hard blue stone experimented with in 1898 was found to wear so well, that as much as could possibly be obtained, through the use of the stone-breaker at Kennedy Town, was utilized. The old Praya from Ice House Lane to the Canton Wharf was entirely re-surfaced, as well as a great part of Queen's Road West. It will be some years before the full advantage of using this hard crystalline stone instead of the granite will become very noticeable. The streets were soft and choked with dirt, the detritus of the soft granite used for years, and this stuff works up through the blue stone still in wet weather and forms mud. Excellent work has been done with the 10-ton steam-roller, its use makes it possible to lay the stone clean, or with but a slight blinding of grit from the quarries, and gradually a harder and better surface is being obtained. With the light traffic in Hongkong streets, there should be no mud by the time a good layer of the blue stone has been consolidated. Roads considered settled and solid years ago went down like loose earth before the 10-ton roller, and will in consequence become better able to withstand the traffic in future. The work is done much more rapidly and with less inconvenience to the traffic, and full employment for the roller is found throughout the year. It has also been utilized in consolidating the earth filling on the Praya Reclamation, making it possible to proceed much more quickly with the construction of the New Praya Roads, and the laying of sewerage, water and gas pipes.
Much difficulty was experienced during the year in getting the contractor to supply sufficient labour for work on the roads, owing to the fact that he had contracted for a low sum, while the increase in wages for coolies was considerable.
On the whole the roads were maintained in a satisfactory condition, with a few exceptions. The roads outside Victoria, including that round the Island, are so much more used by cyclists now, that a better and smoother surface is expected by the public. A heavy rainstorm and flood on the south side, resulted in the undermining and destruction of one of the piers of the bridge at the Aberdeen Paper Mills, and from similar causes a large culvert on the Shaukiwan, Road was carried away, making a considerable breach in the road.
31. It may be noted here that large additions have been made to the mileage of roads in the Colony owing to the completion of various sections of the Praya Reclamation, the opening up of new building areas in Hongkong and in Kowloon, while the vote for maintenance has remained at almost the same figure for many years.
MAINTENANCE OF SEWERS.
32. The vote of $10,000 for this work is becoming insufficient owing to the large extension continually taking place. It was expended with as good effect as possible, and there is little to add to the remarks made last year under the head Drainage and Sewerage Works. Ninety-two (92) house connections to Government sewers were made in the year, and 73 disconnecting traps were renewed.
LIGHTING CONTRACTS.
33. The lighting of the City under the contracts with the Gas and Electric Light Co. during the year was satisfactory.
The total number of lamps in use in the City at the end of the year was 707 and in Kowloon 165, only 23 of these remained to be fitted with incandescent burners.
The number of Electric lights still remains 75.
PUBLIC RECREATION GROUND.
34. The Public Recreation Ground was kept in as good order as the funds available admitted. The completion of the proposed work of improvement by altering and diverting the nullah still stands
over.
PUBLIC WORKS EXTRAORDINARY.
35. Some delay in starting work occurred at the commencement of the year awaiting the sanction of the Secretary of State to the Estimates for the year, and as stated in para. 2, several of the proposed works were postponed.
36. Mr. CHATHAM, Assistant Director of Public Works, reports as follows regarding works carried out under his supervision:-
(i.) New Territory.-The taking over of the New Territory caused heavy demands to be made on this Depart- ment for the erection of buildings of a temporary or permanent nature, the construction of Telephone Lines and Roads, repair and alteration of existing buildings, etc. Many designs and estimates were prepared for buildings which were afterwards altered in their arrangement or method of construction, entailing the prepa- ration of new plans and estimates, or were abandoned entirely. The difficulties of carrying out works in the New Territory have been great owing to the absence of facilities for travelling, good roads being non- existent and the rough tracks which serve for roads being often flooded with water in the rainy season. The importance of constructing good trunk roads through the principal valleys to aid in the development and administration of the district cannot be too strongly urged upon the Government.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.
557
(ii.) Public Works Department Store.--The various buildings comprised under this heading are being erected in the eastern section of Wanchai Store-yard. They consist of a large two-storey building, a series of low sheds, roofed in and open along the front, and quarters for an overseer. The whole of the works are nearing completion.
(iii.) Disinfector Station and Inspector's Quarters.-The site for these buildings, which is immediately to the East of No. 8 Police Station, required a great deal done to it in the shape of levelling, constructing retaining walls, &c. This portion of the work is nearing completion and a commencement has been made with the foundations of the Inspector's Quarters.
(iv.) Completion of Macdonnell Road.-This work consisted of extending the road constructed in 1891, between Kennedy and Bowen Roads, eastward to form a junction with the former. The work has been completed and practically every available building site along the entire length of the road has been sold and building operations are in progress on all of them. In connection with this work, a convenient pathway has been constructed alongside one of the Nullahs, between Macdonnell and Kennedy Roads.
(v.) Public Latrines.-A plan and estimate was prepared and tenders were received for an extensive latrine in the Taipingshan District. In consequence, however, of the opposition raised to the site by the Po Leung Kuk Directors the work was abandoned. A new site has since been selected, but, as this involved the pre- paration of a new plan and estimate, the building has not yet been begun.
A plan and estimate has also been prepared for a latrine to contain 40 seats, situated at the east end of Wing Lok Street, and tenders for the work have been invited.
The only work of this class which has been executed was paid from the Vote "Miscellaneous Works," and mention of it has already been made under that heading.
(vi.) Washing Tanks at Tai Hang.-The bed of the Tai Hang Stream has for many years been used by the washermen of the Colony as the principal place for carrying out their operations. Rough tanks were formed by removing the smaller boulders from any suitable spot in the stream bed and piling them round the sides, and as these tanks were dotted about on varying levels, it followed that the waste water from the upper ones found its way into the lower ones, which therefore never received a supply of clean water. Besides, a foul sediment accumulated in the bottom of the tanks as there was no proper provision made for drainage. This state of matters has been remedied by constructing a dam across the stream some distance below the Mint Dam and arranging a row of properly-constructed washing tanks immediately below it. All washing above the dam has been prohibited and a supply of clean water to the tanks has thus been ensured, each tank being supplied direct from the dam. The tanks, 20 in number, are built partly of stone and partly of brick, ren- dered with cement, and provision is made for the proper drainage of all of them, so that there should be no possibility of foul deposits occurring as formerly. The work, though of small extent, must be regarded as of some importance to the Colony from a sanitary point of view. The training of the stream below the tanks is a matter which should be undertaken in order to convey away the waste water and prevent the accumulation of filth which at present occurs among the boulders.
(vii.) Wells in Villages.--Wells were sunk at the following villages to enable the inhabitants to obtain a supply
of water, removed as far as possible from sources of contamination :
2 at Aplichau.
2 at Tai Kok Tsui.
1 at Little Hongkong (old village). 1 at Little Hongkong (new village).
(viii) Taipingsha Improvements.-The only expenditure incurred under this heading was for the payment of a balance due on a contract completed in 1898 and for a little work done in surfacing a lane where buildings had been erected.
The total cost of the operations in terracing and laying out the resumed area, including water and drain- age works, &c., after deducting a sum of $16,568 recovered from the Praya Reclamation Works for the value of material deposited there as filling, has been $107,874.58. If to this be added the cost of the resumption, amounting to $818,098.32, the total outlay becomes $925,972.90.
(ix.) Forming and Kerbing Streets. -A considerable amount of work was executed under this heading in mak-
ing or concreting the roads and streets in the newly-built areas of the City and Villages.
The principal parts dealt with were Sun, Moon and Star Streets, Macdonnell Road (including a new pathway, west of the Tramway, to Bowen Road), the district immediately west of Bowrington Canal, and sundry lanes and streets in Mongkoktsui and elsewhere.
(x.) Extensions of Gas Lighting.-Gas lamps have been provided in Sun, Moon and Star Streets and along
Macdonnell Road and the pathways communicating with it.
(xi.) Governor's Peak Residence.-It was decided at a late period of the year that this work should be proceeded with and a contract was let for forming the site and approach road. Good progress has been made with the cutting away of the hill and the construction of the necessary retaining wall.
(xii.) Training Nullahs, Kennedy Road Sites.-The third of the branch Nullahs discharging into Albany Nullah was trained between Bowen and Kennedy Roads to admit of laying out building sites, and with the same object, the fourth branch Nullah was trained between Macdonnell and Kennedy Roads and covered over. (xiii.) Laying out Farm Lot 1, &c., Yaumati.--In accordance with the terms of the agreement arrived at with the owners of this lot for its conversion into inland lots, the roads have been formed and the Nullah, which formerly crossed the property in an irregular mauner, has been diverted and trained in a masonry channel. It now remains for the owners to fill in the lots according to the agreement. When this has been done, the property will cease to be the insanitary nuisance it undoubtedly has been for many years past.
(xiv.) Improvement of Gas Lighting.-The necessary modifications were made and Welsbach burners fitted to 210 lamps. Only 14 of the ordinary street lamps now remain to be so altered, besides 9-special lamps in use at the various public wharves.
(xv.) Extension of Station Street, Kowloon.-Though a comparatively small work, the extension of Station Street is an importaut one as it forms a means of communication to Taikoktsui, which is rapidly becoming an important village, and other large villages beyond. It has also been adopted as the line for the new main road to Tai Po, which will be referred to later on. The work, which involved a heavy cutting, has been completed and an attempt is now being made to reduce to order the numerous hovels and enclosures forming the squatters' holdings in Mongkoktsui village.
558
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.
(xvi.) Temporary Bungalow at "The Cliffs."-Owing to the inadequacy of the accommodation provided by "The Cliffs," which was leased as a summer residence for His Excellency the Governor, a temporary wooden bun- galow containing 4 rooms, bath-rooms and verandahs was erected and connected by means of a covered way to the main building.
(xvii.) Lighting of Government House.-In consequence of a decision to extend to the whole of the building the electric lighting system, which had hitherto been confined to the Ball-room wing, advantage was taken of the opportunity afforded by the general repairs in progress to run the necessary wires. This portion of the work has been completed and all is in readiness for the erection of the fittings whenever they arrive from England. (xviii.) Pokfulam Conduit Road.-Owing to several sites for residences being sold above the level of the Robinson Road sites, it became necessary to construct a road giving access to them. A commencement has been made with the approach road up Glenealy Ravine, which is a troublesome piece of work involving some heavy cutting in close proximity to dwelling houses, through ground containing numerous large boulders. (xix.) Water Supply, Kowloon.-The inadequacy of the supply to meet the rapidly-growing wants of Kowloon caused some further works to be undertaken. The raising of the dam in No. 1 Valley, referred to in last year's Report, was completed early in 1899, and has been of service in impounding an additional quantity of water. The consumption has, however, outgrown the sources of supply rendered available under the original water-works scheme, a scheme which, it may be pointed out, involved continual pumping. Upon the acqui- sition of the New Territory, an examination was made of the hills immediately to the north of the old boundary where some streams were found near Cheung Sha Wan, capable of being intercepted at such an elevation as to admit of obtaining a gravitation supply from them. The necessary extension of the main and the construction of the dams and intake works are in progress. It is estimated that a yield of 100,000 gallons per day will be obtained from these works which is equal to an addition of 50% to the supply hitherto available.
A special report on the subject of works to be undertaken for the establishment of a gravitation scheme of sufficient extent to meet the present requirements of the entire district and to admit of extension when necessary has been prepared by Mr. GIBBS, Assistant Engineer, and laid before Government.
(xx.) City of Victoria and Hill District Water-works.--The Wongneichong Reservoir was fully completed in the end of April and has formed a useful addition to the water-works of the City for the year under review, when with the rainfall was considerably below the average. The capacity of the reservoir is 30,337,000 gallons or, the insertion of the sluice boards provided for raising the overflow level, 33,994,000 gallons.
The construction of two new filter beds alongside the existing beds in the Western District of the City was undertaken and nearly completed. This will increase the number of beds to six, all of the same area.
A new motor and pumping main have been ordered from England, the former of which is to be erected at the Bowen Road filter beds to act as an auxiliary to the present motors for pumping up the water supply for the Peak District. Arrangements are also being made for certain alterations in the Arbuthnot Road motor which will have the effect of doubling its pumping capacity.
(xxi.) Gaol Extension.-The whole of the works contemplated under the scheme for Gaol Extension have been completed, with the exception of the erection of a new block of cells in the upper east yard and the roofing over of a portion of the unoccupied area of this yard, for both of which a contract was let before the close of the year. Numerous minor works were carried out during the year, largely by prison labour, materials being supplied by this Department. They included the provision of a hot water supply, the removal of the old drying apparatus and reconstruction of same with large additions in a new building, the erection of a new washing shed, an addition to the workshed erected in 1898, and the taking down of B wing to make room for the new block of cells now in course of erection.
(xxii.) Sewerage of Victoria.-Four hundred and fifty-seven (457) lineal yards of storm drains were built as
extensions in the City, and 742 lineal yards in Kowloon.
Three thousand (3,000) lineal yards of sewer were constructed in the City, and 1,628 lineal yards in Kowloon,
(xxiii.) Water-works Miscellaneous.--The work executed under this heading included the construction of a meter house to enclose the meter fixed on the new 5" Peak supply main at a point above where house services are taken from it. The only other work worthy of notice was the laying of a water main, partly 4" and partly 3" diameter, from Victoria Gap along Barker Road to join the main in the old Magazine Gap Road in order to provide for the supply of houses in course of erection on Barker Road. The iron tank, of 10,000 gallons capacity, which was removed from the Peak on the construction of the service reservoir there in 1897, was erected above Plantation Road for the purpose of regulating the pressure in the main referred to.
(xxiv.) Drainage Works Miscellaneous.-The principal items carried out under this vote were an extension of the Hunghom sewerage system to provide for the new buildings erected on sites recently sold; the laying of a main sewer to Wongneichung Village in order to intercept the sullage water and prevent the fouling of the stream; the provision of sewers in connection with the houses in course of erection on Barker Road; an extension of the sewerage system at Tsim Tsa Tsui point; and the construction of a new storm-water drain in Gough Street.
In addition to these, numerous extensions were made in various parts of Kowloon and else- where and several ventilators were constructed on the Peak system of sewers.
(xxv.) Quarters for Gaol Staff.-A contract for the preparation of the site and construction of the buildings was let in April, 1899. Owing to the configuration and irregular shape of the site, the work of preparing it for building on, has been somewhat troublesome. It has however been practically completed and the foundations of some of the buildings have been put in.
(xxvi.) Swine Depot, Kennedy Town.--The erection of the shed on the southern half of the lowest terrace at Kennedy Town was begun during the year and has been nearly completed. It has been divided off into pens by means of iron fences and provided with drinking troughs similarly to the sheds built on the other terraces. With the erection of this shed the last of the possible extensions on the present site has been completed. It is worthy of note that the scheme for the construction of these depots was only begun in 1890 and it was then considered that provision was being made for sufficient expansion to meet the Colony's requirements for many years to come. It proves however that, after the lapse of only 10 years, it has been found necessary to exhaust the capabilities of the site by carrying out the last of the extensions for which provision was made.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
559
37. During the year under review the Department may claim to have made satisfactory progress with new roads in Hongkong. The extension of Macdonnell Road to a junction with Kennedy Road was taken in hand on an estimate of $7,500 and completed at a cost of $6,992.03. It proved a difficult road to construct owing to the deep cuttings through rather loose material full of boulders, the heavy embankment at one point and the very hard and unworkable rock cutting at the lower end. The number of building lots sold in consequence of the opening of this road and the access thereby afforded to the sites was three, the premium realized $16,617, and annual Crown Rent secured $856.00. It must therefore be classed among the paying public works.
38. Although a vote on account of "Black's Link" appeared in the Estimates, it was decided that the work must be postponed, and only a small expenditure was incurred in keeping the rough path, which was made when the trace was being surveyed, open. Rough as it is, it is still a favourite walk with those requiring, either for business or pleasure, to visit Wongneichong Gap or Tytam from the Peak. It is to be hoped that the construction of a road so strongly urged by General BLACK will not be much longer delayed.
39. In the Report for 1898 reference was made to the projected road from the Upper Tram Station to High West and thence down to Upper Richmond Road. A vote of $1,000 enabled the Department to effect great improvements in this, as a footpath, strengthening the bamboo staging, and making rough masonry stream crossings, since which the road has been largely used. This road may be considered as forming part of a road to be constructed from Glenealy Ravine along the Pokfulam Conduit to the Victoria Battery and thence up to High West, having its upper terminus at the Upper Tram Station. A commencement has been made at the lower end, and it is expected the road from the Tram Station will also be shortly in hands. No more valuable road has ever been projected in the Colony for opening up new building sites, and it is certain that in a few years the prime cost of the road would be recovered over and over again in the sale of land.
40. The purchasers of two building lots on the South side of Mt. Gough are bound under the conditions of sale to construct a road from Plunkett Gap to their houses. This may eventually be carried round the East end of the hill to join the Plantation Road, and will probably open up a few more sites.
41. The most notable progress, however, has been on the mainland.
At the commencement
of the year but a small sum of money ($3,902)-a revoted balance of former years-was available for the extension of Station Street North, Kowloon.
The taking over of the New Territory in April made it almost imperative that a road should be constructed giving access to the interior direct from British Kowloon. An examination of the ranges to the North shewed the only practicable pass to be through the hills above Cheung Sha Wan, where a gap 450′ above sea level was found. Tracing down from this at the easy gradient of 1 in 20 a junction with Station Street North, continued straight across the tidal flat East of Taikok tsui, was effected. Beyond the gap, the road still gradually rises to the summit level of 500 feet; it then falls to a second gap which forms the divide between the waters of Mirs Bay and Hongkong Harbour. Several trial traces were run from here, and eventually a very satisfactory one was adopted on easy down grades of 1 in 40 and 1 in 30 until the rice fields of Tai Wai Village are reached. Close to this village a large stream requiring 90 to 100 feet of waterway has to be crossed and the trace then skirts the sea-shore for some miles, past the villages of Ha-wo-tsia, Fo-tan, Lok-lo-ha, turning again into the hills near Ma-quiu-shui where a gap only 320 feet above sea level has been found from which an easy trace to Tolo Harbour and Tai-po-hu can be laid down.
The first mile of the road is carried on an embankment averaging about 10 feet high across a tidal flat. The large stream which flowed into the top of this bay in numerous shallow branches, making the whole a brackish marsh, was diverted and carried in one channel down to the East end of the bay near Mongkoktsui and under a bridge of two 15 feet spans.
The second mile was through extremely difficult ground necessitating heavy cuttings and buildings and much rock work. From the first gap the work was easy, but little rock being met with.
There can be no doubt as to the importance and value of this road, the distance from the Kowloon Wharves to Mirs Bay is 9 miles; about 2 miles further on a Pier in deep water at low tides can be made; Taipo will be reached in 16 miles, and the northern boundary of the Territory in about 25. The inhabitants of hitherto remote inaccessible villages, lying among the hills to the north of the harbour, are already freely using this road to reach the markets in British Kowloon.
42. At the eastern side of British Kowloon Peninsula another extremely useful road has been constructed from Hok-un to Kowloon City.
The old path was very circuitous, passing close to the sea shore in places, and again winding in and out between the hills with short lengths of steep gradients, and in the paddy fields dwindling to a mere track. The new road is very direct, the earth obtained from deep cuttings through the ridges being used to form straight embankments across the fields. Two rather large water courses had to be
560
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14?? APRIL, 1900.
crossed which has been done by bri lges of iron and concrete platforms on solid stone abut nents and piers. The road is carried along the sea front of Kowloon City an I will form a considerable protection from the sea during easterly gales. For the present it runs about half a mile beyond the City, but should eventually be carried on to Saikung. The trace, on a good carriage road gradient, has been made for 5 miles to the Customs Gap.
43. A much needed connection, referred to also in para. 29 above, has been made at the trifling cost of $1,300 between the East and West sides of the peninsula by extending the "Wells" road from Yaumati to join the Kowloon City road near the C.M.S. Mission Church and the historical Hill of the Sung.
44. In para. 95 of the Report for 1898 the following remarks referring to the Victoria Jubilee Road were made :-
"It was hoped that the close of 1898 would have shewn good progress 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 sod" is as yet unturned. The Public Works Department, having no end in view but the public good, feel much disappointed and disheartened at this apparently unnecessary delay."
The deadlock continues and another year has passed without a start being made.
45. The drainage of Rural Building Lots at the Peak as hitherto carried out, namely in a similar manner to houses in the City, seems a mistake. A much more sensible and sanitary arrangement would be to treat each house separately, so that no tenant should be liable to suffer for the sins of others. A house joined on to a general system of drainage may be kept in a perfect state of cleanli- ness, all rubbish regularly buried or burned, drains kept clean and flushed, &c. and yet be poisoned with sewer gas from a house half a mile away. Filthy liquid in underground sewers escapes the purifying action of air and aerobic organisms; a broken pipe, unseen and therefore unsuspected, a blockage from any cause, may lead to the putrefaction of the contents of the sewer, and the return of poisonous gas to all the houses on the system. This is rendered impossible by adopting open surface drains. There is nothing to be got rid of daily from human habitations which cannot be wholesomely made use of for the benefit of mankind, no more perfect use for bath water and other household slops could be devised than to throw them broadcast on tennis or croquet lawns, or use them in the kitchen garden, to the latter all night soil should go direct, the earth worms, fungi and bacteria with which the "Living Earth" teems, will in a very short space of time remove or change all that is hurtful by humification and oxidation. As Dr. VIVIAN POORE says:-
"The part played in the economy of nature by fungi and bacteria-the new learning of the last half century-is an addition to human knowledge which is destined to revolutionize our views on many natural phenomena."
In towns this common-sense disposal of sewage is impossible, and the underground pipes are a necessary evil, but it is not so in houses on the hill sides where a few square yards of terraced ground could with safety receive, absorb, and purify the daily refuse of the house.
The bath water-
should either run direct on to the land, or into open cisterns for distribution on the land, the kitchen water should run in open channels to the kitchen garden, where all rubbish including night soil should be deposited daily and slightly covered with earth. The house and chair coolies would do the gardening for the sake of the vegetables they could raise, and scavenging contractors would be no longer needed. The following sketch of how a cabbage garden at the Peak is watered and how it should be done was written some time ago:-
"The moisture raised by the action of the sun from the surface of the ocean descends in rain on the Peak whence it is permitted to run to waste, but not altogether in natural chan- nels, as it is intercepted by various traps and gullies to flush sullage drains of doubtful necessity. However, much of it eventually reaches Pokfulam. Here its course is stayed and it is stored up for use in a reservoir which cost $223,000. In due course it is let out through an elaborate system of valves and gauges into the Pokfulam conduit, a channel 3 miles in length constructed round the hill side of masonry in cement and carried across gullies and ravines in aqueducts of massive construction. The next process it goes through is filtration and a fairly expensive process this is, and after being purified and sterilized it passes into the clear water reservoir below the filters. So far gravitation has done the work of moving the water along, but now it has to go back to the top of the Peak again, and for this purpose it is passed into the Bonham Road Station, and either by hydraulic or steam power, and at much expense, again lifted to the top of the Peak where some time back it was dropped from the clouds. Here again it has to be stored until required in a costly reser- voir, from which it is sent through mains and service pipes into the various residencies. Now the gardeners' opportunity has come, and through a patent screw-down tap, the water for the cabbages is drawn, much less suited for the purpose than it was in its original state.

561
A water barrel under the down pipes from the roofs, or a small reservoir in the nearest ravine would be a simpler and far cheaper arrangement, for use during the summer.
In the dry season, the bath water should be collected in a small reservoir for daily use in the garden instead of running to waste. It is better suited for the purpose than the filtered water."
46. The leasing by China to Great Britain of the New Territory, by which the area of the Colony was increased by about 400 square miles, and the taking over of the same in April was undoubtedly the principal event of the year in the Colonial history. Considerable expenditure became imme- diately necessary in connection with the temporary housing of Troops and Police, making prepara- tion for hoisting the Flag, landing stages and approach roads, constructing Telephone lines, and in the commencement of the main road to Tai-po.
The actual Expenditure up to 31st July was $35,753.89.
47. The total Expenditure incurred during the whole year, under the different sub-heads, was as follows:
Buildings,
Landing Stage and Approaches, Preparations for hoisting the Flag, Telephone Lines,
Main Roads,
Sanitation, Survey,
....
Miscellaneous,
Topographical and Cadastral Survey,
$ 39,798.08
1,660.68
424.46 3,763.93 67,093.49 511.99
601.94
2,455.69
1,206.44
$117,516.70
48. The cost of matsheds for the Military and Police amounted to $11,624.41.
49. A large permanent Police Station was built at Tai-po containing 12 rooms besides kitchen and out-offices, with accommodation for 5 European and 32 Indian or Chinese Constables, the expen- diture brought to account during the year being $7,650.
50. Two other permanent stations of a different design were nearly completed, one at Autau, an important position lying between Kam-tin-hii and Un Long and in sight of both, at the junction of the Pat-Heung and Shap-Pat-Heung valleys; the other at Pingshan commanding that important village and the valley lying between Castle Peak and Deep Bay.
51. These buildings have been well built, and are not expensive compared with similar work in Hongkong, but the contractor professes to have lost money over them, and it has been found impos- sible to get any Hongkong contractors to undertake work in the New Territory at the same prices. The establishment of Police Stations in the Territory was distasteful to, and opposed by, the inhabit- ants, who at first threw every obstacle in the way of selecting suitable sites and, after this failed, rendered no help in the construction.
52. On the new roads, the inhabitants came out freely to work, and by the end of the year it was evident that a much better feeling towards the English prevailed. The Tai-po road passes through some good rice fields and vegetable gardens, little or no difficulty was experienced in settling terms of compensation with the owners, who seemed after a time to realize that the road had to be made, and would not be stopped, or its course altered for any ordinary obstacle. This remark also applies to the rather numerous graves on the hill sides, a little gentle persuasion always ended in the removal of the grave from the line of road to some new site.
53. The inhabitants generally seem to be pretty well off and the expectation that crowds of hungry villagers would flock to the works and be glad of less wages than the Hongkong cooly usually receives, was not realized. In fact higher wages are demanded, and have been paid by the
contractors.
54. The villagers are not slow to appreciate the advantages of a well traced road on easy gradients, and the old mountain paths through gaps in the ridge 800 to 1,000 feet high, seem to be less and less used.
The old path to Kowloon City from Hunghom is abandoned in favour of the new and direct road.
55. There is no doubt that nothing will tend so much to improve and develop the New Territory as good highways, the inhabitants will come more frequently to Hongkong, bringing their surplus produce for sale, and taking back with them goods which in former times seldom if ever reached the remote villages, as well as knowledge gained from their own observation of the effects of civilization and progress.
562

56. Wheel traffic will follow in due course and cattle will be bred and trained for the
purpose. 57. In the Annual Report for 1897 the following remarks were made regarding over-crowding and the extension of buildings :-
"If a large proportion of the working coolie population of Hongkong can find quarters, and inducements to live at the Kowloon side, in well laid out, well drained, airy streets built as they are being built with modern ideas of sanitation and with the experience of the errors of the past before one's eyes, instead of in the dangerously over-crowded rookeries of China Town in Victoria, the benefits to the majority of the population of the Colony will be great.'
""
58. This change has to some extent been taking place. The price of land in Yaumati and Mongkoktsui has trebled, huge blocks of tenement houses have been built, and became fully occupied immediately on completion, while the owners of steam launches plying across the harbour have been doing an enormous trade. Omitting the Star Ferry, 15 launches ply daily across the harbour, making an average of 18 trips each, or 270 trips in all in the day. The average number of passengers is said to be 45 or 12,150 per diem or 4,434,750 per annum. states that his company carried 4,088,737 passengers during the year.

DEPARTMENTAL AND PERSonal.
59. The following officers proceeded to Europe on leave during the year :-
Mr. C. C. MALSCH, for four months from the 1st February, followed by his retirement from the service.
Mr. J. R. MUDIE, Executive Engineer, for nine months from the 19th June.
Of the subordinate staff the following had vacation leave :----
Mr. SING QUA, Draftsman, 1 month.
Mr. A. H. NIMMO, Overseer, 3 months. Mr. J. CARROLL, Overseer, 4 months. Mr. TSE TSAN TAI, Clerk, 6 weeks. Mr. I. A. REMEDIOS, Clerk, 2 weeks. Mr. P. JULYAN, Clerk, 2 months.
60. The following officers returned from long leave:- Mr. DAVID WOOD, on the 4th May.
Mr. I. R. CROOK, on the 31st May.
Mr. H. P. TOOKER, on the 1st December.
61. Mr. H. WHITE was appointed Overseer of the Public Cemetery from the 1st January, succeeding Mr. E. THOMPSON, who retired on pension. This office was transferred to the Sanitary Board.
Mr. F. STAINTON, who had been employed for a considerable time on waterworks, and paid from an open estimate, was appointed an Overseer on the establishment from the 1st January. Mr. G. MOLLISON, Overseer of the waterworks staff, resigned, after nearly 10 years' service, on the 20th November, on receiving an appointment at a much higher salary in Shanghai. This led to a step of promotion throughout the class. Mr. A. W. MILLAR'S services were dispensed with from the 7th November. Mr. J. MILLAR was promoted from the same date, and was succeeded by Mr. A. W. J. SIMMONS, as Water Inspector. Mr. G. M. GUTIERREZ, Clerk, was promoted to the Colonial Secretary's Office and was succeeded by Mr. J. B. GUTIERREZ.
Mr. B. W. GREY was appointed Temporary Land Surveyor on the 1st May, and was employed to trace the road from Hok Un to Kowloon City, and five miles of the proposed Saikung Road, also the connection between the Wells Road and the Kowloon City Road. He was subsequently employed to supervise the construction of the latter and of the Kowloon City Road.
62. In March Mr. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works, was directed to accompany the Hon. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, C.M.G., who as Commissioner representing Great Britain proceeded with the Commissioner appointed by the Government of China to delimit the Northern boundary of the New Territory.
Mr. I. M. XAVIER, Surveyor, also accompanied the party, and took several useful observations fixing the line, as well as numerous photographs.
63. The retirement on pension of Mr. MALSCH and temporary abolition of his office, following on the retirement in the previous year of Mr. BowDLER and the abolition of his office, threw a consider- able amount of work on a Department already insufficiently strong and with the additional work connected with the New Territory to attend to. The strengthening of the Department has become an urgent necessity.

PRAYA RECLAMATION.

I quote below nearly the whole of Mr. J. F. BOULTON'S interesting Report on this work. The new pier opposite the end of the extension of Pedder's Street, for which on completion a new name should be found, is now being erected and will probably be completed in August. As stated in the Report for 1898, the designs were prepared by Messrs. COODE, SON & MATTHEWS, and the con- struction in England carefully supervised by that firm, Mr. MATTHEWS taking a special personal interest in the work. It is of massive design and great strength, and worthy of the great shipping port of Hongkong. Its cost will exceed £10,000.
The following is from Mr. BOULTON'S Report :--
Section No. 1 West: -Under Contract No. 49, CHAN A TONG commenced, in April, 1898, to deposit the rubble founda- tions for the sea wall, and storm-water drains. Owing, however, to the exceptionally treacherous nature of the sea bottom at this place, and the limited plant at the command of the Department, the work has not yet been completed.
foot run,
The rubble foundations had indeel been brought up to the required level by the end of 1898, but their ability to support the superstructure had not been proved by the application of a test-load. On 23rd February, 1899, a length of about 200 feet of foundations, which was in course of being loaded with concrete blocks to a maximum weight of 22 tons per subsided to a maximum depth of 15 feet. The blocks were afterwards lifted by the aid of Divers, and placed on another length of foundations, which in turn subsided. These operations had to be repeated again and again. Altogether five sub- sidences took place, the last happening on 12th November, 1899. On that date nearly the whole length of the sea wall foundations (733 feet) had been loaded twice, and had subsided twice. A length of about 200 feet which has been loaded since that date has stood up well, and it would appear that the rubble has at last reached a reliable bottom. The remainder of the foundations must now be again brought up to the proper level, and pass the final test, after which the work of setting the permanent blocks can be commenced.
On no other part of the reclamation have the rubble foundations subsided so extensively, and never before have they materially subsided twice in the same place.
Forty thousand six hundred and fifteen (40,615) cubic yards of earth were deposited during the year by Government Hopper Barges. The Barges were filled by YAU KUNG CHEUNG, under Contract No. 52, which was commenced on 1st December, 1898, and completed on 29th July, 1899.
Six thousand nine hundred and sixteen (6,916) cubic yards of earth from Inland Lot No. 795, were also deposited on this section, by agreement with Messrs. SHARP & Co. (C.S.O. 2,416/1899).
Sections 1 East, 2 and 3:-Already completed.
Sections 4 and 5: The work of completion was carried on during the year, principally by TSANG KENG, under Con- tract No. 51. 27 per cent. of his contract had been completed at the beginning of the year 1899, and 91 per cent. was com- pleted by the end of it. A length of 1,240 feet of sea wall had been commenced when the year opened; the entire length of 2,275 feet was practically completed before the year closed. The other principal items of work performed by TSANG KENG during the year were, 870 lineal feet of storm-water drain constructed, and 116,400 cubic yards of earth filling deposited. The Reclamation Staff finished levelling and test-loading the rubble foundation of the sea wall, and completed the block-setting.
Section No. 6 West:-Work on this section was commenced by TSANG KENG on 1st May, under Contract No. 53. This contract includes everything necessary for the completion of the section, except the concrete blockwork, and the water, sewerage, and lighting installations. Up to the month of November work was confined to getting in the rubble foundations for the sea wall and storm-water drains, since which time the earth filling, and the diversion of storm-water drains, have been commenced. 78,000 cubic yards of rubble, or about 78 per cent. of the contract quantity, were deposited by the 31st of December.
Sections 6 East and 7 West:-The bulk of the work on these sections, namely, the demolition of the foundations for the Pedder Street Solid Piers, and the construction of the foundations of the abutment for the Iron Pier, was done by the Diving Staff. This tedious work was brought to a conclusion about the beginning of August.
With the exception of Pedder Street Pier, and a small portion of the sea wall and roadways adjoining it, CHAN YING CHEUNG completed Contract No. 43 early in the year, since which time the whole of the building area on these sections has been available to the Lot-Owners. During the latter half of the year he built the greater part of the superstructure of the abutment, or solid landing, to the Iron Pier. Owing to his dilatoriness, however, it was found necessary to call in the aid of another contractor to carry the work to such a stage as to admit of the erection of the Iron Pier being proceeded with. In fact CHAN YING CHEUNG has taken full advantage of the abrogation of the time clause in his contract, due to the change in design of the Pedder Street Pier, to be as slow and troublesome as a Chinese contractor knows how.
The first shipment of ironwork for the Pedder Street Pier was landed in October, and tenders were immediately invited for its erection. "The contract was awarded to Messrs KINGHORN & MACDONALD, who commenced work on 1st December, and got into full swing with it by the end of the year.
Section No. 7 East:-Already completed.
Staff and Plant:--The Diving Staff was employed 174 days in levelling and test-loading the rubble foundations of Section No. 1 West; 105 days in reconstructing the foundations of Pedder Street Pier; 62 days in levelling rubble founda- tions and setting blockwork for sea wall and Boat Slip on Sections 4 and 5; and 2 days in other services.
The Pontoon Crane and Block Barges were employed 227 days on Section No. 1 West; 25 days on Pedder Street Pier; 50 days on Sections 4 and 5; and 2 days on other services. They shifted about 38,000 tons of blocks during the year.
The Hopper Barges were employed 29 weeks in transporting 44,975 cubic yards of earth for filling in Sections 1 West and 6 West. They were laid up during the remainder of the year.
Twenty-eight thousand four hundred and eighty-four (28,484) tons of mud and filth were lifted by the Dredger, 4,370 tons of which were deposited in Section No. 1 West, and 24,114 tons sent out to sea.
The whole of the Floating Plant, including the Tug "Praya," was thoroughly overhauled and repaired during the year. The services of Mr. W. F. CANNING, Master of the Tug "Praya," being no longer required, were dispensed with on 31st July (C.S.O. 1,022/1898). Since that date the Tug has been satisfactorily run by a Chinese Coxswain.
Mr. W. E. ROSE, temporary Clerk, resigned from 19th December, on receiving a better appointment. (C.S.O. 3,139/1899).
Mr. I. A. REMEDIOS, Clerk, had a fortnight's leave of absence in August (C.S.O. 1,915/1899).
General :--Fourteen lots of reclaimed land, having an aggregate area of 107,014 square feet, were taken possession of by the Crown Lessees during the year.
Seven temporary wharves were built out from the new sea wall, on Sections 3, 4 and 5, by Launch and Steamboat Owners principally to take the place of wharves abolished by the reclamation works. The Tai On Steam-ship Company are now erecting a permanent timber wharf at the foot of Cleverly Street, and the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steam- boat Company are building an iron pier opposite Marine Lot No. 22.
R. D. ORMSBY, Director of Public Works.

Owing to the completion of the reconstruction of the Staff on the Fort No. 3, Hashirimizuoki, Bay of Tokyo, which was previously notified as broken adrift by storm, and a Temporary Staff Light established in place of it, a Permanent Staff Light will be exhibited on the Staff on and after 1st February 1900, and at the same time the Temporary Staff Light will be withdrawn.
The description of the Staff, height of the Light, and the range of its visibility, will remain the same as before.
Chart 2657.
KELUNG.
A 5th Order Fixed White Light will be exhibited on and after the night of the 1st April, 1900, and an Air Siren will be sounded from the same day during foggy or thick weather, from the Lighthouse erected at Banjintaibi (Image Point), the entrance of Kelung Harbour.
The position of the Lighthouse is in Latitude 25 deg. 9 min. 12 sec. North, and in Longitude 121 deg. 44 min. 28 sec. East of Greenwich.
The Lighthouse is built of brick, circular in shape, painted White and 28 feet high from the base to the centre of the Lantern.
The Light will illuminate 196 degrees of the horizon from S. 29 deg. E. to N. 13 deg. W., and a Red Ray will be shown between S. 2 deg. W. and S. 8 deg. W., to cover Arase (Audacious Rocks). The bearings are true and as observed from the sea,
The elevation of the Light above the sea will be 133 feet and the Light will be visible at a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The Siren will be sounded repeatedly at an interval of fifty seconds, giving two blasts of two seconds duration cach with an interval of four seconds between, and should be heard in calm weather, at a distance of about 3 nautical miles.

10
1. A spot with a depth of 33 fathoms on it, lies with Hesaki lighthouse bearing S. 7610 W., distant 13 cables, and the summit of Manju shima N. 27° W.
2. A spot with a depth of 34 fathoms ou it, lies with Hesaki lighthouse bearing S. 71° 40′ W., distant 12 cables, and the summit of Manju shima N. 27° W.
3. A spot with a depth of 3 fathoms on it, lies with Hesaki lighthouse bearing S. 643 W., distance 12, cables, and the summit of Mauju shima N. 26° 50′ W.
4. A spot with a depth of 3 fathoms on it, lies with Iesaki lighthouse bearing S. 65° 40′ W., distant 12 cables, and the summit of Manju shima N. 24° 50′ W.

MAQUEDA CHANNEL. NORTHERN ENTRANCE.
A rock of small extent and breakers are reported to have been sighted in approximately the following positions :-
Rock 10 feet high:-Belangona Point,
Western Palumbanes,
Breakers :-Belangona Point,
Western Palumbanes,
(Lat. 14° 2' N. Long 124° 2′ E.)
.S. 87 E.
.N. 35 E.
.N. 82 E.
.N. 3 E.
These dangers were sighted, and fixed on two separate occasions, but as the bearings did not quite agree they are placed in the most Westerly position obtained. Bearings magnetic from Seaward.
From H.M.S. Swift.
Page 342, Eastern Archipelago, Part I, 1890. Charts 943, 1263, 2577.
MACAO. SHOAL OFF FORT BARRA.
The Southern point of the Macao peninsula is not steep to as shown on the plan (on chart 2212).
A Shoal encircles it extending half a cable in a South-Westerly direction, and decreasing to a quarter of a cable in other directions. The depths obtained on the edge of the shoal were equivalent to 6 & 7 feet L. W. S.
(Lat. 22° 11′ N., Long. 113° 33′ E.)
The Shoal to the Southward of the Channel in this locality has extended to the Northward, and has less water than charted, soundings equivalent to 6 feet L. W. S. being obtained.
Pedra Areca (S. 63 E.) in line with the point northward of (516), Taipa Island, points to the northern head of the shoal. Pedra Areca in line with the conspicuous bluff on the South side of (516), Taipa Island, clears the shoal S.W. of Fort Barra.
APPROACHES TO INNER HARBOUR.
Approach with Guia Lighthouse bearing W. by S., cross the flat with Ballast Island (Mong Chau) well open cast of Malo cha u S. 65° W., pass midway between Pedra Areca and Southern point of Macao peninsula, round Fort Barra at not more than a cable and move in midchannel N.W. of Fort Barra where the least water is 17 fect L.W.S.
The Channel southward of the peninsula is narrow, and attention to the tides, which set strongly round the point, is very necessary.
South East of Fort Barra the set of the flood and ebb streams is W.S.W. and E.S.E. respectively.
The Authorities state that the harbour is accessible to ships of 14 ft. draught, but this would, it is considered, only be the case under very favourable circumstances.

SIR,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 19th February, 1900.
I have the honour to forward for your information a report which by my direction has been prepared by Mr. STEWART LOCKHART, Colonial Secretary, shewing the result up to the present of the operations of the various departments in the New Territory. Mr. LocKHART's report shows very clearly the difficulties. with which we have had to contend and their satisfactory solution. The work arranging the districts and sub-districts, with their committees, was carried out by Mr. LOCKHART with conspicuous energy and ability; it involved much physical labour and required the exercise of tact and discretion. In this arrangement of districts Mr. LOCKHART was ably assisted by Mr. T'son, the First Chinese Clerk.
of
2. Much of the satisfactory feeling now being shown by the people is due to the sense of security, induced by the police arrangements and personal exertions of Mr. MAY, the Captain Superintendent of Police, whose vigorous action against the disturbance of the peace by land and sea has brought quiet and protection to a community hitherto subject to frequent attacks from gangs of armed robbers and pirates.
3. Since Mr. LOCKHART's return to Hongkong in July, the work of the New Territory has been carried on by Messrs. MESSER, KEMP and HALLIFAX, three Cadets who are carrying out their instructions in a most satisfactory manner.
4. It remains to be seen to what extent the New Territory can be developed, much depends upon the possibility of producing succulent grasses or trees of commercial value upon the hill slopes. If the former, there is no reason why a very valuable cattle breeding industry should not develop. Mr. FORD is about to try some experiments with camphor trees and vines, either would be a valuable addition to the resources of the Colony. No systematic examination of the Territory for minerals has yet been made. Silver exists in Lantau Island. where some years ago a considerable sum was expended on a silver mine by a Chinese Syndicate. Kaolin of good quality is found on the mainland, and examination of the rocks that replace the granite in various districts may result in the discovery of payable
mines.
5. It will be necessary to complete the main road through Taipo-bai to the staff at frontier, this and the completion of the police stations and
quarters for La Taipo-hui are the only Public Works that I contemplate at present. be necessary to make practicable roads between. Taipo-hui and Deep B Peak Bay. The existing roads are not even bridlepaths being zigzagging over the narrow divisions between the paddy fields.

6. A request was inade to me by elders from Ping Shan, an important village in the centre of the April disturbances, that a school should be opened for the teaching of English. I promised to accede to their request, and intend to do so as soon as possible.
7. So far the experiment of taking over one hundred thousand Chinese and bringing their customs as far as possible into line with our ideas of good government has worked satisfactorily. I find the people peaceable and industrious, and I am informed on good authority that they are now quite contented with our rule, and are envied by the inhabitants of the Sam Chun valley that we held in Military occupation for some months. The Captain Superintendent of Police informs me that he hopes before long to be able to reduce the strength of the police force in the different stations, and with economy in the administration of the Territory it will in my opinion pay its way in a few years and leave an appreciable balance to increase the General Revenue of the Colony.

Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,

Governor, &c.
COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,
SIR,
HONGKONG, 7th February, 1900.
I have the honour to submit the following Report on the New Territory since the inauguration of British rule.
DISTRICTS AND SUB-DISTRICTS.
After the disturbance, which occurred when the New Territory was first taken over, had been settled, steps were at once taken to define the Districts and Sub- Districts under section 4 of the Local Communities Ordinance, No. 11 of 1899.
The principle followed in dividing the territory into Districts and Sub-Dis- tricts was to adhere as closely as possible to the divisions recognised by the Chinese inhabitants for many years.
These divisions as a rule follow the natural features of the country. Each sub-district on the mainland is in most cases contained in a valley, throughout which are dotted groups of villages and small hamlets.
In some cases a sub-district originally arose from the combination of a num- ber of villages. Clan fights have been a common practice in the San On District for centuries and it has not been unusual for groups of villages to combine together for purposes of offence and defence.
Each of the Islands has been treated as a sub-district with the exception of the large island of Lantao, which has been divided into three sub-districts."
When considering the divisions of the territory, it appeared advisable not to include within the Local Communities Ordinance that portion of the territory to the South of the Kowloon range of hills, lying between Liumun on the East and Laichikok on the West. As this area is immediately contiguous with what has hitherto been known as British Kowloon, it was thought best, for police, sanitary, and other purposes, not to treat it differently from the older portions of the Colony, especially as the inhabitants are well acquainted with the laws and customs of Hongkong proper.
The island of Lamma also, owing to its proximity to Aberdeen, was excluded from the operation of the Local Communities Ordinance.
On the 25th of May, a list of the chief districts and sub-districts on the mainland and isla ds was gazetted, and a supplementary list was published on the 7th of July.

even hamlets of two or three houses, which were considered as belonging to ger villages when my report of last year was drawn up, or in some cases omitted owing to the somewhat hurried nature of my first visit to the territory. Some of these villages are walled, the object being, as I pointed out in my former report, to afford the inhabitants greater security if attacked by robbers and to place them in a stronger position for purposes of defence in case of clan feu ls. One of these walled villages in the sub-district of Lung Yeuk T'au was once besieged for three months by robbers. A map is attached (Appendix No. 1) on which the districts and sub-districts are marked.
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE-MEN FOR SUB-DISTRICTS.
After the districts and sub-districts had been defined, circulars were issued to all the villages on the mainland and in the islands, requesting the villagers to send in the names of such persons as they wished to recommend for appointment as Committee-men of the sub-districts under section 4 of the Local Communities Ordinance.
Every village with a population of from 50 to 100 persons was entitled to nominate one Committee-man, as were also the smaller villages, the combined populations of which amounted from 50 to 100 persons. In the case of a large village, a Committee-man was allowed for every hundred of its population.
The names of the Committee-men for the sub-districts were duly submitted and approved by the Governor.
The first list was published in the Gazette on the 7th of July and a second list on the 15th of the same month.
er
On the 2nd of August, the Committee-men of the eastern portion of the terr waited on the Governor at Taipo and on the 4th of August the Commit western portion waited on His Excellency at Ping-shan. I attac Governor's remarks on those occasions and of the replies of the Cor Appendix No. II).

e-men (see
These Committee-men have formed a useful link between the Government and the villagers, and have been of much assistance in explaining to the people the objects of the various measures of Government which have been introduced from time to time. The Committee-men as a rule are those who possess influence in their own immediate neighbourhood, whose advice is listened to, and whose lead is generally followed. The wisdom of affecting with responsibility those to whom the people have been accustomed to look for leadership and of using them to elucidate the objects of Government is evident.
No Chairmen of Committees have been appointed under section 5 of the Local Communities Ordinance, and it is not proposed to make such appointments until experience has shown them to be desirable.
It
No local tribunals have been established under Part VI of the Ordinance. is very doubtful whether it will be ever necessary, even if it were regarded as desirable, to bring this part of the Ordinance into force.
LAND.
After the hoisting of the flag and the appointment of Sub-District Committee- men, attention was given without delay to the work of land registration.
A
I attach a memorandum on Chinese land tenure (sec Appendix No. III) which has been prepared with the assistance of Mr. MESSER and Mr. T'so1. perusal of this memorandum will, I think, show that, though the Chinese system may be excellent in theory, it has not been well carried out in practice, with the result that the land question has proved one of great difficulty.
The Land Office in Victoria was constituted the head office. A branch office was established at Taipo in July under Mr. MESSER, assisted by a Chinese staff, and another at P'ing-shan in the month of October under Mr. KEMP, to deal with the work of registration in the districts north of the Kowloon range of hills and in the islands of the East, whilst the head office in Hongkong, with the
of Mr. CHAMPMAN and Mr. KING, attended to the work of registe south of the Kowloon range of hills and in the islands to the The first object aimed at was to secure the registration cultivated land in the New Territories in order to prepare a On the 12th of July & Chinese proclamation was issue

int ded to adopt in connection with the registration of land, and the amount of land tax that would be charged.
The procedure adopted in inquiring into and registering claims is as follows. The Assistant Land Officer, having settled which sub-district is to be dealt with, issues a notice to the villages in such sub-district, informing the inhabitants that their claims must be sent in by a certain date, and distributes forms (see Appendix No. V) to be filled in, giving the owners of land to understand that such forms must be accompanied, whenever possible, by such title deeds as the claimants may possess.
In all cases of registration the landfords or their representatives and the tenants are required to bring their title deeds to the Land Office in person. The landlords in every case have to report the names of their tenants, and the latter, in addition to giving a de ailed a count of the land occupied by them. have to report the names of their landlords. The object of r quiring a report from both landlords and tenants is to provide against false and fictitious claims and to save confusion.
Title deeds are of two classes, officially stamped deeds which have been re- gistered and stamped by the Chinese Magistrate of the San On District; private deeds which are not officially stamped and which are records of private sales only (see Appendix No. VIA.B.C.).
In many cases deeds have been lost or destroyed. When this happens, the claimants to the land are required to produce substantial proofs of their ownership, such as their rent roll, receipts from the Chinese Government for land tax, and
her particulars pertinent to the land in question.
tio
The claimants have to report the nature of the land, whether cultivated, fertile herwise, the kinds and number of crops it produces, the rent paid, &c. The to help the Land Officers in their classifications; and the informa- t owing to the fact that the Crown rent charged varies according isses of land.
to the sever.
Owners or occupiers report their land in maus or Chinese acres, but as it has not been the general custom in the districts to calculate the area of land by maus, but rather by the amount of grain required to sow a field, they also report the area of their land in this manner, two and a half tau of grain being equivalent to one mau (0.1515 English acre).
But even this tau varies in different localities. The Kun Tau, or Chinese official standard measure of 10 shing, is adopted at Taipo, in the Sheung U District, and at Shat'aukok. The Ts'ong Tau, or grain measure of 11 shing, is used throughout the Un Long District. The Ts'in Tau of 8 shing is employed in the Ts'un Wan and some other Districts. The areas reported can only be regarded as approximate for the present and no exact data can be obtained until the survey of the territory has been completed.
Claimants also have to state the situation of their fields. They generally give the local name of the land and the nearest village, but since no exact indications are given of the situation, it will not be easy to find any field from the description given by the claimants.
The Land Officer gives a number to each form filled up by a claimant, and a corresponding number to the title deed, if there be any, which will facilitate future reference.
After all the claims to land in the special district have been reported and ex- amined, a list (sec Appendix No. VII) is posted in the neighbourhood of each village of all owners of land and of the holdings claimed, and the villagers are called upon to report any claim that is not inserted in the list or any alteration that may be required to make the list as accurate as possible.
After the Crown rent fixed as due on a claim has been paid, a provisional cer- tificate of title will be issued in the first instance, and if after the lapse of sufficient time no dispute regarding the claim arises, certificate of the owner's title will be
nd registered.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
One great difficulty has been suspicion on the part of the inhabitants of the intentions of the Government. The people seemed to fear that the Government intended to take their land away from them and, in order to effect this object, wished to find out the owners by inducing them to register all their lands.
Before the territory was taken over the Governor issued a proclamation in Chinese, a translation of which will be found in Appendix No. IX. In this pro- clamation the people are assured that "their commercial and landed interests will be "safeguarded and their usages and good customs will not in any way be interfered "with," and that "as subjects of the great British Empire their perfect freedom "from oppression is assured. Should they have any complaint to make the "Governor will always be willing to hear it and to order what is right."
(6
When the territory was taken over the Governor in a speech assured the people "that the taxes will be equal and the revenue will be collected justly. You need now have no fear of being squeezed by the officials. If exactions are made in "excess of the just charges, the Governor will dismiss the officials responsible. "The taxes collected will be expended in maintaining order and in public improve- "ments" (see Appendix No. X).
In the proclamation regarding land registration issued in July, His Excellency the Governor stated: "If any one has been forcibly deprived of his land or been "fraudulently induced to sell land at a low price, he may present a petition to the "District Officer, if he lives north of the Kowloon range of hills, or, if he lives "south of it, to the Registrar General or the Visiting Officer to be forwarded to the
Squatters' Board for enquiry," (see Appendix No. IV).
It may seem peculiar that suspicion should have arisen, seeing that His Excellency the Governor informed the inhabitants both by proclaicee-on and by speech that the tenure of land would remain practically undistura a end that the Chinese authorities repeatedly notified the inhabitants that thin_nure_of_land would remain the same as before and that the rights of property would be respected. But, as is well known, the Chinese are a suspicious race and it is not an easy matter to allay their suspicions when once aroused.

Another cause of difficulty and delay has been the ignorance of the land- lords regarding their own land. For generations landowners have been con- tent to collect their rents without ver having taken the trouble to enquire into the land itself, which has been left
nder the control of the tenants. These tenants have changed from time to ..
sub,sed the land; sold the right of cultivation or mortgaged that right, w ut consulting the landowners who were quite satisfied so long as the rent was regularly paid. It has often happened that some crafty tenant has asked his landlord to reduce his rert, giving as an excuse that it was impossible to make the land pay unless the rent were reduced, and that if the reduction were not agreed to the tenant must give up the land. The landlord, who has inherited the land without knowing any particulars regarding it, is practically at the mercy of his tenant and is constrained to comply since it is impossible for him to take over possession of land, which in many cases is far re- moved from his own village or district. Besides, tenants generally form a "ring," agreeing among themselves that no other person shall be allowed to take over cultivation from the tenant in occupation. It is easy to see how such farming rings are able to boycot the landlords. In fact, it is not an unusual proceeding for tenants, taking advantage of the ignorance of their landlords, to make an ab- solute sale of a part of the land, the part retained being sufficient to pay the
rent.
77
A reference to paragraph 12 of Mr. BRUCE SHEPHERD'S memorandum (Ap- pendix No. VIII) shows that farmers or tenants have made a stand against the clans, their landlords. He states: "The claus and farmers agree that the farmers are "absolute owners of the soil in perpetuity, but have been paying money or produce "to the clans for generations, which the clans claim to be rent payable to them. The case for the farmers is that the land is and always has been theirs absolutely, "free from rent, and that the amount paid by them to the clans was the Govern- "ment land tax, which they claim to pay direct to the Hongkong Government "without the intervention of the clans.' It is hoped that some way out of this difficulty will soon be found.
A further source of delay has arisen from the fact that much of the land under cultivation has never been reported to, or registered by the Chinese Government. According to Chinese law all cultivated land must be registered, and should any land be discovered that has not been registered, the Government either enforces
vi

registration or confiscates the property after due notice has been given and a reasonable time allowed for registration. Long experience of their own Government methods has made the inhabitants distrustful of officials generally-a distrust which cannot be easily overcome at once and which will require time to remove entirely. This want of faith in the justice of Government, and the fact that they are the possessors of land which has not been registered, have made owners most reluctant to report their land. They are afraid that the Government, having learned all the circumstances, might resume possession of their holdings.
Delay has also been due to disputes between individual landlords, as distinct from clans, and tenants as to whether rent is to be paid to the landlords or to the Government. These disputes have arisen owing to the tenants having confounded the rent due to their landlords and Crown rent due to the Government. The tenants have been under the impression that, if they made payment to the Govern- ment, they would not have to pay rent to their landlords. They thought that, if they paid taxes directly to the Government, they would forthwith be regarded as the wners of the land because, according to Chinese law or custoin, whoever pays the ax on any land is regarded as the owner of that land. They hoped by this step they would gain the land and be freed from the payment of rent to their landlords.
The landlords, being afraid of losing their rent as well as their land, were in great perplexity. Moreover, they did not seem to know for certain whether the tenants had the sanction of the Government for refusing to pay rent. At first they omed inclined to refrain from reporting their claims to land altogether, but they y represented the matter to Government, as did also the tenants on their or one work of land registration being in the meantime at a standstill. At this object of proclamation, dated the 20th of October, was issued, informing tenants than is imp2uld pay thei" rents to their landlords as heretofore (see Appendix No. A).
al ci
This proclamation proved so satisfactory that the work of registration of claims proceeded rapidly.
The small owners of land have shown themselves the most eager and willing to report, while the large owners of land and the clans have not been so prompt and have always asked for time to find out naculars regarding their property, of which they are ignorant. As a
enants of the clans have extended the area of land cultivated by them
out having informed the clans. The result is that the returns furnished by the lans and their tenants seldom agree, the returns from the Gians showing much less land under cultivation than that returned by their tenants. This is owing to the clans being willing to pay Crown rent only on such
and as was originally leased to the tenants, while at the same time they receive increased rent from their tenants for their encroachments. Under these circumstances the importance of obtaining returns from both landlords and tenants, so that they may check each other, is obvious.
So far as can be judged, the areas reported have never been exact owing to lack of surveys and any fixed standard of measurement, the deeds of sale in many cases reciting that the boundaries are clearly defined but that the area has not yet been ascertained.
Up to the 20th January last Mr. MESSER had registered at Taipo 21,736 claims and Mr. KEMP at Ping-shan 5,613 claims.
It was thought advisable to have the question of claims settled before proceeding to collect any Crown rent. Now that such satisfactory progress has been made with the work of registration, no time will be lost in fixing the Crown rents to be paid as accurately as possible and making the necessary collections for the past and the present year.
As Mr. SHEPHERD states in his memorandum (Appendix No. VIII), arrange- ments have been made for the voluntary registration of all Chinese deeds by memorial under The Deeds Registration Ordinance of 1843.
It was thought at one time that it would be well to grant Crown Leases in exchange for existing Chinese titles, but, as Mr. SHEPHERD points out, the Govern- ment can only grant leases for a term not exceeding 99 years from the date of the Convention under which the New Territory is leased to Great Britain, so the idea of granting such Crown Leases had to be abandoned.

When it is remembered that great confusion has existed in the matter of land in the New Territory for years and that disputes and family feuds have been general in consequence, it is not surprising that, now an endeavour is being made to adjust all difficulties and to introduce a well-ordered system, there should be many cases requirir g re-adjustment by the Government.
IV
The Governn has come to the conclusion that such disputes can be most casily and readily dealt with by a Land Court, especially established for the purpose, and it is hoped that such a Court will shortly be created by law, as it cannot fail to be a great boon to the inhabitants of the New Territory.
BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT.
I attach a brief report (see Appendix No. XII) from Mr. FORD, Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department, which shows that steps have already been taken to protect trees in the New Territory. At the suggestion of Mr. FORD, a notice was issued in Chinese (see Appendix No. XII), urging the people not to cut down the old trees which surround most villages.
The result of the notice has proved satisfactory. With a view to encouraging the cultivation of sugar cane, the Governor obtained two Chattanooga Sugar Mills from America. Trials have been made with these mills, at which sugar cane growers were present. They expressed themselves as satisfied with the superiority of the new mills over their own mills, and it is not improbable that in time the Chattanooga Mill will supplant the native mill, when the natives realise that the former effects a saving in labour and produces more satisfactory results than the later.
Improved varieties of sugar cane are being obtained from Java, the Straits Settlements and Honolulu, and arrangements have been made for cultivating them when received.
Pine-apple is largely grown in the New Territory especially in the neighbour- hood of Ts'in Wan, where a Cannery for canning the fruit of the pines has been started.
A superior variety of Pine-apple has been introduced from Ceylon by Mr. FORD for distribution among the growers of the plant.
PUBLIC WORK
I attach a memorandum ( Appendix No. XIII) from the Director of Public Works, showing the work done by his Department in the New Territory daring 1899.
The chief work on which the Director of Public Works has been engaged is that of the Main Road from British Kowloon to Taipo, which was commenced immediately after the territory had been taken over. The only means of communica- tion hitherto existing between Hongkong and the newly leased area has been by sea, which in bad weather is impracticable, and by a rough footpath over a pass about 1,000 feet high from Kowloon to Sha-t'in, situated on an arm of Mirs Bay. There can be little doubt that the construction of this road, which is desirable both for strategical and administrative purposes, will bring the New Territory into closer relations with Hongkong proper, and will lead to an increase in traffic.
A reference to paragraph 8 of the memorandum of the Director of Public Works will show that good progress has been made with this work, six miles being already open to traffic.
Communication between British Kowloon and Kowloon City has been im- proved by the extension of the Hunghom Road on the East side of the Kowloon peninsula to Kowloon City. This work has been almost completed.
Telephone lines have been laid for a distance of about thirty miles, connecting British Kowloon with Kowloon City, Sha-t'in, Taipo, Futi Au, Sheung Shui, Au-t'au, and Ping-shan. The lines will be further extended to Shat'au-kok. The thanks of Government are due to the Royal Engineers for having laid the line between Kowloon City, Taipo and Futi Au.
The Public Works Department has also been kept busy during the year in erecting permanent Police Stations and providing temporary quarters for the executive staff and the Police.
A permanent Police Station has been completed and occupied at Taipo. The permanent stations at Au-t'au and P'ing-shan are almost ready for occupation.
viii
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
No definite decision has as yet been arrived at regarding the erection of per- manent quarters for the executive staff, as it was deemed advisable to gain experience of the healthiness of the neighbourhood where the temporary quarters of the executive staff are situated before committing the Colony to any large expenditure on account of permanent bulidings. In view, however, of the opinion of the Principal Civil Medical Officer that much of the malaria from hich Government officers have suffered so much is due to the temporary nature of the buildings occupied by them, it seems desirable that permanent buildings should be erected without unnecessary delay.
SURVEY.
In my Report on the New Territory, dated 8th October 1898, it was pointed out that to deal satisfactorily with the land question, it would be necessary to have an accurate survey.
The desirability of a survey of the whole Territory was recognised by the Colonial Office, and I was instructed on my way out from home at the end of 1898 to place myself in communication with the Surveyor General of Ceylon, Mr. GRINLINTON.
I had the advantage of an interview at Colombo with him and the Honourable F. A. COOPER, Director of Public Works in Ceylon, and both these officers were strongly in favour of a complete survey of the territory being made, being of opinion that such a survey would, in the long run, prove most economical for Government, and recommended that an application should be made to the Govern- ment of India for the officers necessary to carry out the work. After
After my arrival in Hongkong in February last, the matter was referred to Mr. ORMSBY, the Director of Public Works, who consulted with Colonel ELSDALE, Commanding Royal Engineer, and, acting on their advice, the Governor decided that a survey should be undertaken. Application was niade to the Government of India, which kindly consented to lend the staff required for the work.
On the 19th of October Mr. TATE, who is in charge of the survey operations, arrived and was followed, on the 1st November, by Mr. NEWLAND, the second survey officer, who brought with him a small staff of Indian trained surveying coolies and surveyors. The Detail Surveyors arrived at the end of November and were able to commence their work at once on the scale of 16 inches to a mile.
+ the
Before surveying was actuallithnenced, a Chinese notice (see Appendix No. XIV) was issued and poste chroughout the territory, explaining the objects. of the survey, which, it was feared, might be misunderstood by the natives.
I attach a report on the survey operations (see Appendix No. XV) with which Mr. TATE has been good enough to furnish me and which shows that steady progress is being made in the work of survey.
Mr. TATE is struck by the fact that the Chinese take little or on notice of the operations being carried on in their fields and that no incivility or hindrance has been experienced. He thinks this is due to the employment of Chinese coolies, but there can be no doubt that the issue of the Chinese notice, to which reference. has been made, has also had a good effect.
The commencement of the survey has already induced many waverers to register their claims to land. The sight of the surveyors at work has convinced them that the Government is determined to ascertain the exact amount of land under cultivation, and that any further attempts to conceal the extent of their holdings will be useless.
EDUCATION.
For the purpose of ascertaining the general state of education in the New Territory, forms have been distributed throughout the villages in the various dis- tricts and sub-districts which the school teachers have been requested to fill up. A copy of the form will be found in Appendix No. XVI.
Out
In reply to the request, 314 forms have been filled up and handed in. of this total, 121 are from Hakka schools, 97 from Punti schools, 15 from mixed Hakka and Punti schools, and 1 from Lamma Island, where Hakka, Punti and Hok-lo are taught in one school. Eighty of the forms have not been properly filled up so will have to be re-written. The lowest number of pupils in any school is 3 and the highest 56, but from 15 to 20 pupils seem to be the average. Holidays are frequent but long holidays are rare, the longest being the winter or New Year
ix
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
holidays, which last for a month or two. The spring holidays are next in length, which continue for about 20 days or a month and which are generally spent in worshipping the graves of ancestors. The schools in the New Territory are all adventure schools.
The teachers are generally natives of the sub-district in which the school is situated. Few hold any literary degree. The salary is small, from $5 (say 10s.) to $10 (£1) a month being the average pay. In many cases the salary is paid in grain. Tea and fuel are supplied gratis to the teachers by the parents of the pupils.
In a few instances teachers are hired by wealthy families, as for example in Ts'oi Hang which seems to be the only place in the New territory where girls are educated. The buildings used for schools are private houses, ancestral halls or temples. In no case has any building been specially erected as a school-house. The books used are the usual Chinese school books. The subjects taught are the Chinese classics. The school hours commence in the morning before breakfast, which is taken about 9 or 10 a.m. After breakfast lessons are continued and school does not break up till about an hour before sunset whatever the season may be.
The schools are mostly elementary and even the most pretentious are only secondary.
The Chinese Government has never paid anything towards the maintenance of these schools. The teachers are always paid by the parents of the pupils.
It is important to note that the greatest number of holidays and the shortest hours of study occur in the cold weather, whilst in the hot and trying weather the pupils have the shortest holidays and the hardest work.
Many of the inhabitants seem anxious to learn English, and it is hoped that before long arrangements may be made for encouraging the study of English. It might be well to establish a school for the teaching of English at Un Long in the Shap Pat Heung District, which is the most central and populous of all the sub- districts. I am of opinion that the present village schools should be retained, but that steps should be taken by the Government to encourage the teachers.
MEDICAL.
I attach a Report (see Appendix No. XVII) drawn up by Dr. ATKINSON, the Principal Civil Medical Officer, showing the work done by his Department in the New Territory during the past year.
From this Report it will be seen that the officers of the exeontive staff and of the police suffered much from malaria. Dr. ATKINSON is of opinion that much of the fever was caused by the temporary nature of the buildings occupied by the executive and the police, and anticipates a considerable decrease in the number of cases of malarial fever when permanent buildings have been erected.
There was an outbreak of plague in the island of Cheung Chau in April. Prompt measures were taken to combat it with the result that by the middle of June the disease was stamped out.
Arrangements have been made to perform vaccination throughout the territory and to prescribe for any villagers, who may apply for advice or medicine, free of
cost.
HARBOUR DEPARTMENT.
Up to the end of the year two Harbour Master's Stations had been established in the New Territory: one at the Island of Cheung Chau and one at Tai O in the Island of Lantao.
The station at Cheung Chau was opened in September and that at Tai O in
October.
Up to the 31st December last, 2,616 licences, clearances, permits, &c. had been issued to junks at Cheung Chau, and 1,353 at Tai 0.
POLICE.
Simultaneously with the taking over of the New Territory on the 16th April last, Police Stations were opened at Taipo, Sha-t'in, and Kowloon City. On the 22nd of April a station was opened at Ping-shan, and on the 29th of that month another on the Island of Ch'eung Chau. One was opened at Futi Au, close to the Northern
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
boundary, on the 14th of May, at Tai O on the 18th and at Yung Shui Wan, in Lamma Island, on the 30th of the same month; at Au T'au, near Un Long, on the 3rd, and at Tung Chung, in the Island of Lantao, on the 24th of June; at Kat O, in Mirs Bay, on the 14th; at Starling Inlet at the 24th of October and at San T'in on the 14th of December.
Want of suitable accommodation and of European officers to take charge pre- vented the opening of a station at Sai Kung and of another at Ts'in Wan, both of which are required to complete the policing of the territory.
Two steam launches were chartered for the purpose of patrolling the waters of the New Territory and visiting the numerous islands, and these began their work as soon as the territory was occupied. A steam pinnace, formerly used for police work in the Harbour, was also sent to Taipo to patrol from thence the waters of Mirs Bay.
To man the stations and launches mentioned 75 Indian Police, 39 Chinese Police with 4 coxswains, 4 engineers, 4 stokers, and 8 Interpreters were enlisted in excess of the Estimates for the year, while 24 men of the Royal Welch Fusiliers were, by the kind permission of His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, enrolled as special constables and utilised partly to assist the European Police Officers in the New Territory and partly to replace those officers in Hongkong.
Fifty more Indian recruits were obtained from India at the close of the year for the further stations that will be required and to release the men of the Royal Welch Fusiliers serving with the Police.
The efforts of the Police were from the first entirely directed to the preven- tion and detection of crime, to learning the country, and to cultivating friendly relations with the inhabitants.
The first case that demanded investigation was the murder of the man Tang Cheung on the night of the 16th of April.
Two persons, one an elder of the village of Ha Ts'un, were brought to justice and hanged for this murder. Two other men had been murdered at the same time and by the same party as murdered Tang Cheung. An elder of the village of Un Long, his nephew, and a third persion were indicted, convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of one of the two men. The nephew of the elder mentioned was pardoned, and the sentences on the elder and the third prisoner were commuted to imprisonment for life and ten years' with hard labour respectively. These convictions, had a wholesome effect upon the population, especially as two of the culprits belonged to the local gentry.
It was found that robberies by night by gangs of armed Chinese principally from Chinese territory were very frequent, and no fewer that 27 cases of this description occurred during the first five months of the administration of the territory.
Twenty-five persons were arrested in respect of these robberies, of whom 18 were convicted and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment.
The Triad Society was also found to be very active, and steps were taken to
it.
suppress
One leader of the Society was arrested in possession of insignia and documents. of the Society and was convicted and sent to prison. Another prominent member suffered the same fate, while two more leaders were arrested, convicted of robbery and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment.
During the last quarter of the year there has been a marked decrease in robbery and other crime in the territory, the result being due partly, no doubt, to the arrests and convictions above referred to, and partly to the system of patrols especially at night which the gradual opening of the required stations has rendered possible.
The Police have also been utilised in various ways in obtaining information on various matters.
The territory as a whole has been found exceedingly malarious, and the Police of all nationalities suffered severely from fever.

CRIME.
I attach a return (Appendix No. XVIII) of cases from the New Territory tried in the Police Court of Victoria during 1899, with which I have been furnished by Mr. GOMPERTZ, Acting Police Magistrate, who has also given me the figures and information on which the following remarks are based.
The first case was heard on April 24th, which gives roughly eight months or three-quarters of the year as the period during which cases from the New Territory have been brought into Hongkong.
The total number of cases, exclusive of those from the New Territory, heard in the Police Court of Victoria in 1899 was 10,003 comprising 11,175 accused persons for the twelve months. In addition there were 155 cases from the New Territory, with an aggregate of 271 accused persons.
The cases from the New Territory represent 0154 of the whole. If, however, the first quarter of the year be omitted, as the newly leased area was not then under the jurisdiction of this Colony, these cases will be 0206 of the whole.
They become more important, however, when the average of serious crime is
taken into account.
If the standard be the number of cases committed for trial at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court, it appears that out of 10,003 cases arising in Hongkong only 50 or 0049 of the whole were committed to the Sessions. On the other hand, out of 155 New Territory cases no fewer than 25, or 16 of the whole, were committed for trial.
This striking difference is no doubt chiefly due to the lawlessness which was rife in the New Territory when it was taken over and which continued until the Police Force had been organised.
The appointment of a Magistrate to try cases in the districts north of the Kowloon range of hills has relieved the Magistrate in Hongkong from the work of trying cases that occur in those districts, and owing to the small number of cases that the Magistrate in the New Territory has hitherto had to try, he is able to sit twice a week in Hongkong. This has sensibly lessened the strain which had to be borne by one Magistrate.
Up to the end of the year the Magistrate sitting at Taipo had to deal with 23 cases only which occurred in the districts north of the Kowloon range of hills. Two of them were serious. The remainder were trivial.
Cases from the Islands of Lamma and Lantao and from the district south of the Kowloon range of hills are still brought to Victoria. From this portion of the New Territory have come one case of piracy and several of robbery with violence and aggravated assault.
The return of cases from the New Territory gives no particulars of Death Enquiries. The Police Magistrate in Victoria officiates as Coroner, and there have been four cases of death in the territory as to which it has been found necessary to hold a formal inquiry extending in each case over several days. In three of the cases a jury was summoned.
The total amount paid on account of fines and forfeitures in connection with the cases tried in the New Territory in 1899 amounted to $936.32; a sum of $783.65 has been paid in fines and a sum of $152.47 for forfeitures.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
I attach a statement of Revenue and Expenditure (Appendix No. XIX) on account of the New Territory up to 31st December last, which has been drawn up by the Treasurer.
The total expenditure for 1899 amounted to, approximately, $233,000. Of this amount a sum of over $47,000 was expended on account of the Police Establish- ment whilst Public Works were responsible for about $112,000, chiefly for roads and Police Stations.
Three new launches are being constructed, and a sum of $31,875 has been expended on account of them. When they are finished no outlay for the construction of launches will be necessary for some time and a large saving will be effected under "Transport" which is responsible for a sum of $12,114. Some of the other items are also non-recurring, such as, Matsheds $3,964; Furniture, &c. $1,381, while the expenses of the Survey will, no doubt, be very much larger during this and next years.
Very little revenue was collected during last year, as it was deemed advisable. to push forward the work of land registration before commencing to collect Crown
rent.
The Revenue for this year from all sources has been estimated at $100,000, including arrears for 1899, while it is roughly calculated that the Expenditure, exclusive of Public Works, Extraordinary, will be about $175,000, $150,000 of which, in round figures, will be required for the Police Establishment.
The expenditure on account of Public Works will amount to about $80,000, most of which will be expended on Police Stations, the Taipo Road and the Survey.
LEGISLATION.
By the Governor's Proclamation of the 8th day of April, 1899, (See Appendix No. XX) it was directed that from the 17th day of that month all laws and Ordi- nances which should be at that time in force in the Colony of Hongkong should take effect in the New Territory also, and should remain in force there until they should be altered or repealed by legislative enactment.
Ac-
It was found expedient, however, to exempt the New Territory from the operation of certain Ordinances owing to local conditions and variations. cordingly an Ordinance (No. 10 of 1899) was passed by which the New Territory was duly exempted from the operation of a number of Ordinances, a list of which was furnished in a schedule attached to the Bill, and which will be found in Appendix No. XXI.
In addition to the framing a list of Ordinances confined in their operation to the old limits of the Colony, it was found necessary to pass certain new laws to be enforced in the New Territory only.
Three of these laws were passed during 1899. The first, No. 11 of 1899, was entitled "An Ordinance relating to Local Communities and Tribunals," and was passed on April 18th. Reference has already been made to the Committees appointed under this Ordinance.
This
The second law passed for the New Territory, No. 12 of 1899, was entitled "An Ordinance to provide for the Better Regulation of the New Territories." law entrusted the Governor-in-Council with the power of making rules for the farming out or licensing of the right to sell dutiable articles or any other commo- dity whatever; and to make rules for the levying, collection and custody of all revenue obtained from the New Territory.
The third law, No. 40 of 1899, was entitled "An Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General." This law was unanimously passed at the sitting of Legislative Council held on December 28th.
The object of this measure is to secure the attendance of the people so that full explanations of Government measures may be given to them and so that the Government may learn from the people what their views may be regarding any proposed measure, and what objections they may have to urge when matters do not appear to be working smoothly. No enquiry under the Ordinance can be held except by direction of the Governor.

STAFF.
Until July of last year I resided permanently in the New Territory in order to start the civil administration of affairs. I was assisted by Mr. MESSER, Mr. Ts'OI, and two Chinese Assistants.
On my returning to Hongkong Mr. MESSER remained in charge as Assistant Land Officer and was joined by Mr. HALLIFAX and Mr. KEMP. Mr. HALLIFAX was appointed to undertake the duties of Acting Magistrate which had been hitherto discharged by myself, and Mr. KEMP was sent to attend to the registration of land claims at P'ing-shan in order to press forward the work of land registration.
Owing to a great increase in this work it was found necessary to strengthen the Chinese staff by the addition of a shroff, three interpreters, and three clerks.
All the members of the staff have worked most energetically and deserve great credit for the manner in which they have discharged their duties under trying and difficult circumstances.
CONCLUSION.
In view of the difficulties that had necessarily to be encountered in taking over the New Territory and of the short period during which it has enjoyed the benefits of British rule, the progress that has already been made may be regarded as satisfactory. An efficient Police Force has caused a great diminution in crime and has established confidence among the inhabitants. Improved communications have already led to an increase in traffic and steps are being taken to start new industries and to effect improvements in those already established. Progress in the New Territory may be slow, but now that confidence prevails among the people, it may be anticipated that capital will soon be attracted to it, which cannot fail to hasten its development.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,
Colonial Secretary and Registrar General.
Appendix No. II.
Speech of His Excellency the Governor delivered to the Committee-men on 2nd and 4th of August at Taipo and P'ing-shan.
His EXCELLENCY (the Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART translating) then said-Now that this territory has been divided into districts and the sub-district committee-men have been selected from the elders and gentry I wish to meet you and to explain to you the principles upon which the government of this portion of the colony of Hongkong will be conducted. I desire that you who have been officially appointed shall co-operate with the Government in regulating the local affairs of your villages so that the people shall enjoy security and that there shall be no disorder. The Government has appointed officials who will advise you as to sanitary improvement in the villages so that the health of the people may be preserved, for the Queen of England wishes that all Her Majesty's subjects shall be healthy and prosperous. In giving you the position of Committee-men I rely upon you to discharge your duties in a faithful and upright manner and would call your attention to the fact that one of our most stringent laws is that if as much as one cash is taken from the people except the rates and taxes levied under authority the person extorting it will be rigorously punished by fine and imprisonment and be dismissed in disgrace from his position. I wish to interfere as little as possible with your good customs, but there is one principle of British law that must be observed. All punishment for injuries must be inflicted by the appointed authority under the law. Therefore in case of injury the proper authority must be appealed to and the punishment must not be undertaken by private individuals.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
The time has now come when all occupiers of land must register their titles with the Land Officer. When application is made giving the exact area of land occupied, a notice will be posted in the village so that if another claims the land he can apply to the Land Officer, when the claims will be considered by the Land Court. No certificate of registration will be issued until the Crown rent has been paid. There should be no delay in registering your titles. The occupier will, in the absence of another claimant, be accepted as owner, but if the person in occupation is decided not to be the proper owner the amount paid by him will be returned, and the rent will be collected from the person decided to be the lawful owner. A few days ago some ill-advised people assembled near Un Long and behaved in a riotous manner, assaulting a party who were examining certain lands.
I warn you against such unlawful proceedings, as this was taking the law into their own hands. They should, if they objected, have applied to the Land Officer, who would have examined into the matter and decided upon their objections. Under the powers given to me by the law I could have placed a station of Police upon that land and compelled the villagers who created the disturbance to pay the entire cost of build- ing the station and paying the Police. But I have determined not to do so on this first offence but to warn the people through you that such illegal rioting will be severely punished in future. The elders of a village can always prevent such disorder by giving timely information to the Police. If they do not prevent it then they and the villagers will be held responsible. All persons of whatever nation must be free to move about without danger of molestation. You must understand from what I have said that clan fights cannot be allowed. The law is strong enough to protect the rights of every man, and must be appealed to in cases of dispute that cannot be settled by the local committees. I am sorry to find that robberies by armed gangs have been frequent, and against such violence you have hitherto not been adequately protected. I have established Police Stations in different parts of the territory for the purpose of preventing such robberies and protecting your lives and property. Since the territory was taken over three months ago many of those robbers have been arrested, the stolen pro- perty has been restored to the owners, and a large number of the robbers are now in gaol undergoing sentences of imprisonment for five and seven years. I am dertermined that such robberies shall be put down and that law-abiding and peaceable people shall enjoy security that has hitherto been denied them. You have all heard of the cruel murders of innocent men that took place at Un Long in April last. For the murder of one of those men two of the principals in that brutal crime after a fair and patient trial have paid the penalty with their lives. I hope that if any bad characters remain in the territory they will take warning and cease from evil ways. I have directed that the law against gambling shall be rigidly enforced. The Chinese law against gambling is very strong, but the officials have neglected it. In British territory all laws must be equally respected. You have seen by my proclamation the amount of Crown rent that has been decided upon as the land rent for the present. In considering what taxes are to be levied on you, you must remember that all the money paid by you to the Government is money that is paid for your protection and for the improvement and development of your property. The money paid for public works is paid to your own labourers for their labour and comes to the traders in the ordinary course of business. Up to the present over ten thousand dollars have been paid in wages to the working people of this district and now that gambling has been stopped this money will be spent in the purchase of land for farms or of food and clothing from the shops, while the main road from Kowloon to Taipo will enable the people to send in their produce to market in any weather. There will be a license tax on all business houses, but you have been relieved from the payment of all Customs Duties and monopolies that raised the price of everything that you consumed. Do not object to strangers coming to the district. They will all bring money and increase the wealth and comfort of the people. I know that many people from this district have travelled to other countries. They must have seen there how capital employs labour and produces wealth. With the introduction of fresh capital into this district that I hope to see one day some who are now driven to evil courses for want of occupation will find within their reach employment that will enable them to live respectable lives. I have appointed you to the responsible position of committee- men because you have been recommended to me by your villagers. Do not forget that your responsibility is very real, as I look to you to preserve the peace aud good order of your villages, and to report to the authorities all bad characters and persons who endeavour to stir up strife. With the support of the sub-district. Committees and the villagers I look for the firm establishment of internal peace and prosperity, and I undertake that you shall be fully protected by the Government

from any interference from without. I wished to add a few more words on the subject of land. It has been reported to me that as soon as the Convention between the Emperor of China and the Queen of Great Britain was signed certain people were induced to sell their lands at a low value by being told that the British Gov- ernment would take possession of the land without payment when they came into the territory. I take this opportunity of telling you, the elders and gentry of all the villages, that if any man has been induced to sell his land by these false mis- representations and he is not satisfied, he can give notice to the Land Officer, who will register the title until the real question at issue has been looked into and decided. I have mentioned all this before by proclamation, but I wish to emphasize it more strongly now that I see the gentry and elders before me, as I am determined that if any man has been improperly induced to give his land away under its value I won't accept the sale as valid.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,
Reply of the Committee-men at Ping-shan.
Your subject, on behalf of the gentry and elders present and the people whom they represent in this part of the Territory, thank Your Excellency for your trou- ble and condescension in coming here. We have been waiting for this visit with as much anxiety as those who, in time of drought, await the refreshing rain. Your kindness in visiting us has given us the privilege of seeing you
in person while the speech we have just heard, so dignified and so clear, has increased our reverence for Your Excellency.
We are well aware that Your Excellency's policy in this Territory is a kind and benevolent one and your subjects are unanimous in their feelings of gratitude. Your Excellency's character will act as a transforming influence for good among us.
We also predict that this barren region will become a land of wealth and progress under Your Excellency's administration. What we feel with the deepest pleasure is that all evils are being now eradicated while what is good and noble are being encouraged. Law and order, peace and prosperity, alike distinguish Your Excellency's government.
We pray that Your Excellency will, when memorialising the Throne, tender to Her Gracious Majesty the humble submission and profound feelings of loyalty of her subjects in this Western portion of the Territory.

As a slight mark of our respect and appreciation we humbly pray that Your Excellency will accept this tablet.
Appendix No. III.
MEMORANDUM ON LAND.
Chinese law regarding Land.
Land according to Chinese tenure is held as freehold by grant from the Crown and descends in the male line only. Daughters never inherit.
The land comprised in the original grant can be sold by the proprietors in sub-divisions and is most usually sold in perpetuity or for 1,000 years. The proprietors record their names in the districts registry as responsible for the tax, and their possession is legally secure so long as that is paid.
Deeds of absolute sale have been brought in from the New Territory for registration which were made in the reign of the Emperor KA TSING and of subsequent Emperors of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1519 to 1626) and which have been recognised by the present dynasty. Strictly, a grant issued by the present dynasty should be attached to all grants made by the previous dynasty. The present owners under such grants are all the existing male descendants of the original grantee and in one case the proprietors now number over 700.
All land under cultivation is supposed to pay a land tax and from time to time spasmodic attempts are made to survey the area under cultivation. But in spite of Government orders, all efforts to obtain correct data of the actual acreage brought under cultivation have been frustrated. The landowners, wishing to have their land exempted from the payment of taxes, seem to have succeeded in inducing the survey officers not to make correct reports. But when large and fertile tracts, yielding valuable crops, are not reported for registration, such as has been the case with extensive areas reclaimed from the sea near San Tin, the Chinese authorities generally confiscate and re-sell them to private individuals, after they discover them.
rate.
Different kinds of land that pay land tax.
Agricultural land is divided into three classes, each class paying a different
First class lands are those near villages in fertile valleys with a good depth of soil and a good water supply, producing annually two crops of rice or one crop of
sugar cane.
Second class lands are those less fertile than the first class and are generally situated higher up the slopes of hills and have not such a good water supply as the first class. They produce annually one crop of rice or one crop of sugar cane.
Third class lands are those situated on still higher slopes and are far removed from a good water supply. They are generally devoted to the cultivation of pea- nuts, sweet potatoes, millet and other hardy crops which do not require much
moisture.
Fish ponds pay a special tax higher than that paid by cultivated land of the
first class.
Building land and orchards pay a very insignificant land tax, whilst burial grounds, which the people wish to be officially recognised and registered, pay once only a stamp fee for the title deed without being obliged to pay any further tax.
Hill land and Waste land.
All hills and waste lands are claimed by the nearest villages or most powerful clans in the neighbourhood or even at a distance.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900. xvii
Even portions of the sea and the bed of the sea, foreshore, sand beaches, and any land whatever which may be turned into use and profit, are claimed and in some cases registered.
Crown land is undefined, and adjacent proprietors claim almost every inch of land under cover of vague grants, though they pay no land tax for such illegal possessions.
Land Measurement.
The acreage of land is not always calculated by square measure in maus (0.1515 English acres) as it should be according to law, but generally by the amount of grain required to sow the land, a method which is very uncertain and unsatisfactory and causes much friction with the farmers, especially as the grain measures vary in different localities.
Cultivated land.
All land under cultivation must be registered or is liable to confiscation. On registration stamped title deeds are issued by the District Magistrate.
Chinese Title Deeds.
Officially registered title deeds are called "red deeds" (Hung Kai IR) because they are stamped with the official stamp in red.
Private deeds of sale are called "white deeds" (Pak K'ai ) because they are simply written on plain paper and do not bear the official red stamp ; but the purchaser has the right to register his purchase and obtain a red deed.
There are also mortgages, operating as deeds of sale, redeemable within 30 years; perpetual leases at low rentals and leases for short terms of 5 or 10 years. Red deeds are the only deeds of which the Government takes cognisance and the Crown Rent is collected on these deeds only.
The descriptions of land in deeds are always vague, and can only be ascer- tained accurately by a survey of the actual land in occupation. The local name of the land is given and sometimes the nearest village, but these only show approx- imately where the land is situated.
Patches of fields situated in different districts are often contained in a single deed. and in one case a deed has been brought in for registration which purports to be a sale of land in 24 distinct villages. It is not rare to find two or three registered deeds produced in proof of ownership of the same lots. The Chinese Authorities kept no register of titles and, under their system of registry, fraudulent sales could be registered with impunity until litigation ensued when, after a lapse of years, a vesting order in the rightful possessor could be issued by the District Magistrate.
The consideration money mentioned in the deeds is hardly ever accurate, being usually stated much below the actual sum paid so that the ad valorem duty payable on obtaining a red deed may be the minimum. In one case in which a sum of $4,000 was paid, the amount entered in the deed was only $475.
Deeds of sale in perpetuity generally state the amount of rent to be paid to the grantor by the grantee.
White deeds are merely unregistered transfers and give very few particulars beyond the rent to be received and sometimes the amount of grain required to sow the plot and its local name.
Forms of Red and White Deeds with translations are attached. (See Appendix No. VI A. B. C.)
Varieties of Tenure.
In most cases land is owned by clans or private families and in lividuals, and can be sold, mortgaged or settled upon specific trusts. In addition to these there are also the following varieties of tenure.
"*
Ancestral land or "Sheung Tin," Temple land, or Miu Tin," Land held by Associations, or "Ui Tin."
Ancestral Land.
Ancestral land is land that has been originally set apart for ancestral worship and is increased by purchase from time to time in the name of the deceased ancestor, in whose name also the Government taxes are paid. The rent of ancestral lands is
xviii
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 1900.
devoted to the upkeep of the ancestral temple, to the education of the members of the clan, to the worship of ancestors, to the relief of poor members of the clan, to the marriage expenses of those who require assistance and to the funeral expenses of those whose relations are poor. Such land is always held in the name of the ancestor who bequeathed the property, the land being nearly always leased to Sometimes the different members of the clan who cultivate it and pay a yearly rent. branches of a clan cultivate the land in rotation, the branch in occupation of the land being held reponsible for the payment of the expenses incurred on account of the objects for which the land was originally transmitted. Clan land cannot be alienated without the consent of the representatives and elders of the whole clan. The rent roll is kept by a Committee of the clan.
Temple Land.
Temple land is land devoted to the support and upkeep of a temple dedicated to the service of some specially selected idol in the name of which the land is held. Some of those who originally subscribed towards the erection of the temple or their descendants act as trustees and keep the rent roll and an account of current
expenses.
nuns.
Certain land in Kam T'in and Tsiu Kang is devoted to the support of a few The rent roll is kept by a trustee, the rent in grain being handed over to the nuns, who, in order to increase their meagre income, also go from village to village begging for alms from the inhabitants.
Land held by Associations.
China is a land of associations which are as numerous and the objects of which Certain are as varied as the needs of man. Their formation is simple and easy. villages, whatever their object may be, meet in a temple, ancestral hall or private house to deliberate over some scheme. If it is approved, a fund is raised to which the members contribute equally, their contributions being devoted to the purchase of a piece of land, landed property in China being considered the safest investment. The rent derived from this land may be used for the burial of a member of the association when he dies, or may be let out on interest, or may be used to assist members to emigrate to California and Australia, or for any other enterprise or good object that may be desired.
Land Sales.
If any owner wishes to sell his land, he is supposed to offer such land in the first instance to his nearest relatives, and is not at liberty to sell to any one outside of his clan, unless the nearest relatives are unwilling to purchase. In large clans transactions in land take place, as a rule, between different members of the clan without the property ever being disposed of to outsiders. In such transactions the deed of transfer is invariably worded as if it were a mortgage and no period for redemption is fixed, the vendor or mortgagor or his descendants thus having every opportunity to redeem the property at the original price even several generations after the transaction has been made. It is customary for the mortgagor to enter into possession so that a Chinese mortgage is often equivalent to a sale.
Collection of Land Tax.
Land tax is collected by the authorities sending out deputies, clerks and run- ners to different districts, notifications being posted calling upon landowners to pay the land tax with all haste. In some cases these collectors linger for more than a month in certain localities. No pay is given by Government to the land collectors. who are left to their own ingenuity and wits to make as much as they can out of the villagers without creating trouble. The villagers, of course, are extras necessary anxious to get rid of these men and are only too glad to pay the "extras to effect that object, especially as they have not infrequently placed themselves in a false position by not having reported portions of their land on which taxes should be paid.
The villagers are not slow to understand that the longer these collectors remain in their neighbourhood the greater the probability of their unregistered land being discovered. On this account the "extras" demanded are paid without much demur and indeed at times with alacrity.
Land that has been once registered but the cultivation of which has been abandoned is not resumed by Government. It has to pay the same tax as when it was under cultivation. It may be that for this reason the people on the first occu- pation of the territory were so reluctant to register their land. The District Magistrate, who is required every year to send to the Provincial Treasurer a fixed sum as land tax, is naturally unwilling to exempt such land from taxation, as he
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900. xix
himself would have to make up the deficiency resulting from such exemption. The land tax which has to be sent to Pekin from each Province is a fixed sum and has not varied for years. It is easy to see what an opportunity this system offers for incorrect returns, as new lands are continually being brought under cultivation.
New land brought under cultivation.
When land is brought under cultivation for the first time, the cultivator does not make a report to the Magistrate, but applies in the first instance to the clan or village which has taken the land under its protection. Generally, the arrangement with the clan or village results in a lease in perpetuity being made out, stating the situation of the land and the amount of rent in grain or local money that has to be paid by the cultivators. After the cultivator has arranged with the clan or village, he pays such rent as may be agreed upon, and not until it has been found that the land is worth cultivating is a report made to the authorities so that it may be duly registered.
It is noteworthy that the majority of those who bring out-of-the-way plots of land under cultivation are Hakkas, who can cultivate with success land which the Puntis would never think of attempting to turn into fields. This is due to the in- dustry of the Hakkas and to the fact that the Hakka women work as hard, if not harder, than their men, and also to the fact that the best and most available land had been appropriated by the Puntis before the Hakkas had settled in the district. The Hakkas have by industry and energy reclained large tracts from the sea and made many a hill-side hitherto barren yield good crops.
Landlord and Tenant.
The relation between landlord and tenant is often a complicated one, chiefly owing to the system of perpetual lease. Under such leases the landlords have practically renounced all rights to the exercise of ownership and are contented to do nothing further than to receive a yearly rent. They can sell this right of re- ceiving rent, but the land is otherwise under the absolute control of the cultivators, who often sell their perpetual leases.
The landlord is called the owner of the Ti Kwat" (H), which may be termed the right of receiving rent. The tenant is said to possess the "Ti Pi" (), or right of cultivation. Constant lawsuits result from this double owner- ship and the contending interests which it necessarily involves.
The question of perpetual lease in the case of land brought under cultivation for the first time and of the rights of landlord and cultivator will require very careful consideration.
The most common practice in the case of landowners, who do not farm their own land, is for them to let it out to tenants, who pay them a fixed rent in kind or in money, the amount of which is settled beforehand. In bad seasons the landlords grudgingly reduce their rent on being asked by their tenants, but they are not compelled to do so.
Small villages and hamlets often place themselves under the protection of large and influential clans to which they refer all their complaints and from which they expect assistance in case of attack, robbery, and lawsuits. In some instances the smaller villages pay their land tax to the Government through the influential clans.
These clans gain their local influence, not through numbers alone, but owing to the fact that certain of their members have official rank, gained through com- petitive examinations, or obtained by purchase, which keeps them in touch with the Magistrate and even higher officials.
The clans have, as before stated, claimed large tracts of land, which they have never occupied, but which they have leased in perpetuity to others, who undertake to bring the land under cultivation.
The greater part of the land claimed by clans was never registered and, as a rule, it appears that no land tax was ever paid on this land to the Government. The cultivators, who have paid rent for years to the clans, in view of the fact that the land had not been registered, were afraid to dispute the rights of ownership, as they anticipated it would result in the land being resumed by Government and they would thus be deprived of their right of cultivation.

ENGLISH VERSION
OF
CHINESE PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY HIS EXCELLENCY
SIR HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, G.C.M.G., GOVERNOR, &c.
I, Sir HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, hereby inform you, the landowners in the New Territories, that an Officer will visit the sub-districts for the purpose of registering landowners on a date due notice of which will be given to you. All you who can show that you have had possession of landed property for some time must fill up a schedule in the following form :--
1. Name of owner.
2. Nature of title.
3. Date of lease or grant (if any).
4. Number of years in occupation.
5. Description of land.
6. Dimensions of land.
7. Situation of land.
When these schedules are distributed to a village, any person who claims land as his property must fill up a schedule and bring it in person to the Visiting Officer, when he comes to the village in which such person resides; and the Officer will make an entry in the register that such person is the owner and will add such other particulars as may be necessary. A list of those who have been registered as landowners in the village and of their holdings will be posted in the village for seven days, and afterwards an extract of the entry of each holding will be made to be handed to the owner. But before it is handed to the owner he must pay the amount of Crown Rent fixed as due by him. If no Rent is paid, the land will be forfeited to the Government without fail.
If there is any unsettled dispute about property, the name of the person in actual possession will be registered, and he must pay the Crown Rent, but an extract of an entry in the Register will not be issued until the Squatters' Board has ascertained that the person in possession is the legal owner and the Board's decision has been approved by me. In that case an extract will be issued to him. and he will be permitted to remain in possession. But should the Board decide that the property is really not his property, the Crown Rent paid by him will be refunded, and the person who is adjudged by the Board to be the person who should pay the rent and who is approved as such by me, must forthwith pay the rent due. All you owners of land must report all the land in your possession. Should it be found at any time that any land owned by any person has not been reported, it will be treated as Government land. A survey will shortly be made of the whole of the Leased Territory, so that the boundaries of the various holdings may be clearly known; and any cases of neglect to report on the part of owners of land will be easily discovered, and will involve forfeiture of the property to Government. Do not say that I have not warned you. The Crown Rent including all charges fixed for the present is given below. You must all without exception obey. Do not be disobedient. A special proclamation.
(i.) For land draining in a Southerly direction to the sea between Liumun Point on the East and the l'ier in the bay West of Lai Chi Kok
on the West per half mau or portion thereof as follows:-
(a.) For First class land 25 cents, or at the rate of $5.30 per
acre per annum.
(b.) For Second class land 20 cents, or at the rate of $2.64
per acre per annum.
(c.) For Third class land 10 cents, or the rate of $1.32 per

per annum.
(b.) Second class land 10 cents, or at the rate of $1.32 per
acre per annuin.
(c.) Third class land 5 cents, or at the rate of 66 cents per
acre per annum.
The above scale of Crown Rent may be altered.
When the survey has been completed permanent certificates of titles will be issued. If anyone has been forcibly deprived of his land or been fraudulently induced to sell land at a low price, he may present a petition to the District Officer if he lives North of the Kowloon range of hills, or if he lives South of it to the Registrar General or the Visiting Officer, to be forwarded to the Squatters' Board for enquiry.

Translation of a Red Deed.
The maker of this Deed of Absolute Sale of a plot of land, including Salt Pans now disused and Hill Land, is TANG KAI-SHEK who inherited the property from his
UN
pays ancestor who bought the same from UN CHEUNG-K'U. The land, which land tax, is situated near the village of Ch'an Ka Wai in the Sub-District of T'un Mun. The tax in kind on this land is registered in the District Magistrate's Office as One Shek and Seven Shing of grain.
Since the payment of land tax is now being pressed for and the vendor is in want of money to pay this tax, he desires to sell the whole plot of land which has been bequeathed to him and which is covered by the title deed. The vendor, in the first instance, invited his nearest of kin to purchase it, but as none of them had the necessary funds wherewith to purchase the property, he asked the middle-men CHENG TS'OI-CHEUNG and LEUNG YAT-UN to introduce him to CHENG IN IT'ONG, of Nam T'au City, who consented to enter into negotiations with a view to the purchase of the property.
It was agreed between the Vendor and Purchaser in the presence of the middle-men that the market price of this land shall be Fifty Dollars ($50) equiva- lent in weight was handed over in the presence of witnesses to TANG KAI-SHEK in person who paid out of it the land tax due.
Tang Kai-shek on the same day transferred the whole of the above property to CHENG IN IT'ONG, who is entitled to exercise all the rights of ownership and is at liberty to officially register the property in his own name whenever he may deem it convenient.
This is a genuine transaction and this sale has not been made as a set-off against any debt.
The four boundaries of this plot, including hill land, &c., are according to the limits within which the Vendor, TANG KAI SHEK, exercised his former rights of ownership, the plot being locally known as the Fuk Kiu Farm at T'un Mun Bay and is not now cultivated.
The Eastern Boundary extends to the Lo Ts'z Rock near U Kok Point at Lai Chi Kok; the Western Boundary to Hau Kok Lek; the Southern Boundary to Tang Lung Chau; the Northern Boundary to Tang Chim-yat's Farm. These limits include the hills with pines, the orchards and the buildings.

The boundaries are thus clearly defined and the registered area is twenty-six
If any difficulty hereafter arises in connection with the land, it must be ar- ranged by the Vendor and the middle-men, the Purchaser being in no way responsible.
This translation is made with the mutual consent of both parties, and in case there may be no proof of an oral agreement, this Deed is drawn up and handed over together with another Stamped Deed to the Purchaser to be kept as evidence.
This Deed is registered in the name of Ts'oi KwONG under the entry of TANG LEUNG of the 5th To, 4th T'o, and 8th Kap.
It is further inserted in this deed in the presence of both parties that out of the total number of Eighty-four maus, Five fan, and Two Li, included in the various localities mentioned in the deed, only Twenty-six maus are sold to CHENG IN I T'ONG who may register the same in his own name. The remaining portion of the land is still under the ownership of the Tang clan, the tax for which the said clan shall continue to pay.

The Provincial Treasurer of Kwong-tung has received a despatch from the Viceroy and Governor regarding compliance with a memorial which, after having been considered by the Board of Revenue, has received Imperial sanction.

That despatch states :-"We have received a communication from the Board "of Revenue relative to a memorial dated 15th year K'in Lung, 1st moon, 22nd "day, from Fu MING, Treasurer, of Ho Nam, which was submitted through "the officer in charge of the Ho Nam division of the Board of Revenue and which "was considered by the Board and reported on to the Emperor. The memorial proposes the attaching of an officially stamped document to all title deeds, referring "to the buying and selling of real estate, and the transmitting of such documents "through the Prefects and Sub-Prefects to the Treasurer for examination and record. "In the same year, 12th moon, 12th day, the Board received Imperial sanction and having made a copy of the memorial forwarded it to us in a despatch with forms "authorising us to carry out the necessary arrangements. To that despatch was "annexed an enclosure which stated that in future all officially stamped documents "attached to title deeds issued by the Provincial Treasurer to the people must be "classified and numbered; that the first half should as formerly contain the follow- ing particulars-Name and surname of owner; amount of real estate; price; "amount of taxes; that the second half should be stamped with the Treasurer's "seal at the space left blank so that, when taxes are paid, the price of the land and "the amount of the taxes may be filled in where the seal of the Treasurer has "been affixed; that the owners should examine the writing made in their presence where the first and second halves join before the two halves are separated; "that the first half should be handed to the owner to be kept; that the second half "should be sent with the quarterly returns to the Treasurer for his inspection ; "that the written characters in the column (where the seal has been affixed) being "in the same handwriting and divided evenly in two, any alteration in the figures "will be difficult; and that the form of stamped document attached to leases formerly used by Magistrates and Treasurers must be abolished in order to pre- "vent confusion. We (the Viceroy and Governor) having received this despatch "forward to you the necessary instructions and form."
((

Having received the above despatch of the Viceroy and Governor, I, the Pro- vincial Treasurer, have caused it to be printed and distributed. Hereafter all owners of ordinary property or of land allotted to military settlers, when presenting their deeds at the time of paying taxes, must comply with the new regulations and for each officially stamped document attached to a deed, a charge, based on the purchase price of the land, of 3 fen for each tael (the charge of 3 fen for each tael is paid into general revenue) and 1 fen for each tael in aid of the State Examinations (ie., a total charge of 4 % ) will be made.
The stamped document attached to the deed must be filled up, in accordance with the form, after the fees have been paid, and when the last column has been filled up, the two parts can be separated and the first part handed to the owner and the second part to the Treasurer.
If any one fails to apply for a properly stamped document, he will be dealt with as guilty of the offence of evading the payment of taxes.

Translation of a White Deed.
A DEED REGARDING A STONE QUARRY. The maker of this deed of the absolute sale of a Stone Quarry is Lat A-Ts'AT,
who years ago had bequeathed to him a Stone Quarry situated at a place known as Liiimum. This Quarry faces the south. Its Eastern Boundary extends to the Tai Wong Temple : its Western boundary to the side of the Well; its Northern boundary to Little Kun Tong; and its Southern boundary to the edge of the sea. the four boundaries being thus clearly defined.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 1900.
Being at present in urgent need of money, the Vendor wishes to sell this quarry and in the first instance invited his nearest of kin to take it over, but as they had not the money, the Vendor asked the middle-man, Ts'o YAN-HOI, to take the deed to Lo SIN-KO who is willing to purchase the said quarry.
On that very day the sale of this quarry was settled orally between the Vendor and Purchaser in the presence of the middle-man, the market price fixed being Fifty Dollars($50). the equivalent weight of which in silver is exactly Thirty-six Taels (Tls. 36).
After the sale of this quarry LO SIN-KO is at full liberty to carry on quarry- ing, whilst the Vendor, LAI A-TS'AT, and his descendants or relatives cannot raise any objections or cause any trouble or retract from or obstruct the sale.
In case there may be no proof of an oral agreement, this deed is drawn up as proof that both parties have made this agreement of their own free will, that no force or pressure has been used, that the sale of this quarry is absolute, and that the Vendor and his descendants henceforth renounce all rights connected therewith.
This deed of sale is drawn up to be kept in the custody of the Purchaser. Signed by-
Middleman Ts'6 YAN-HOI.

Appendix No. VIII.
Memorandum of work done in the Land Office, Hongkong, in respect of the
New Territories for the
year 1899.
1. The preliminary work of the Land Office in respect of the New Territory consisted in making arrangements for the registration of all the owners of cultivated lands there with a view to the preparation of a Crown Rent Roll; in devising methods for the classification of the lands for the fixing of proper Crown Rents; in assessing Crown Rents according to the classification of the lands, and in the drafting and superintending of the printing of the forms to be used in obtaining the requisite information of claims to land and the registers to be kept.
2. In the month of May last, soon after the New Territory had been taken possession of by the Colonial Government, questions arose in respect of the follow- ing matters, viz. :-
(1.) The registration of Chinese deels under our Deeds Registration Or-
dinance of 1843.
(2.) The grant of Crown Leases by the Government in substitution of
the existing Chinese titles, or
(3.) The grant of Certificates of Title under which the existing titles
should be acknowledged by the Government.
3. As regards (1.) arrangements were then made for the voluntary registration of all Chinese deeds by Memorial under the Registration Ordinance; the last deed before the date of the Convention (19th June, 1898) to be taken as the root of title, the previous title to be produced in support if required, but not necessarily for re- gistration, if the circumstances did not require it. It was also necessary to obtain a translation in English of the deed forming the root of title, and to secure the payment of the fees under the Registration Ordinance, and the stamping of the deeds with the ad valorem duty under the Stamp Ordinances.
4. The first deed, which was one relating to land at Kowloon Tong, was registered on the 3rd June, 1899, and from that date to the end of the year deeds have been continuously coming into the Land Office for registration. The advantage of this registration is that the Government has no responsibility for the registered title, while the title of the registered owner is secured and if he is in possession
xxviii SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
becomes absolute in twenty years. The number of deeds translated and actually registered under the Ordinance to the end of the year was 134, leaving over for investigation and decision some 200. As there is only one translator in the Land Office the work done in registration may be considered highly satisfactory.
5. It is worthy of note that in one case the registered owner died within a few weeks after the registration of his title, and the next of kin, on understanding that such was the law of the Colony, applied to the Supreme Court in its Probate Juris- diction for letters of administration, and paid the administration duty without any demur or question, although wills, probates, and letters of administration of intestate estates are terms unknown in China outside of Hongkong.
6. With reference to (2.) as the Government under the terms of the Convention can only grant leases for a term not exceeding 99 years from the date of the Con- vention, the idea of granting such leases in exchange for the existing titles has been reluctantly abandoned, for the Chinese titles are in perpetuity, subject only to land tax, or, in cases of perpetual underleases, to a rent.
7. As regards (3.) it has been arranged to grant certificates of title in the first instance, provisionally, and if after the lapse of sufficient time there is no dispute, a certificate of the owner's title will be issued and registered.
One case in respect of land at Liumun is now being tried in order to decide upon the best method to adopt before granting certificates of title. The last Chinese deed of absolute sale before the Convention has been registered as a new root of title. The ground has been surveyed and marked out with boundary stones and advertise- ments issued by the owner claiming the land.
If, after the expiration of twelve months, he remains in undisputed possession of the land and no adverse claims are discovered within that time, the matter of granting a certificate of title will be submitted to the Government for decision.
8. The great difficulties to be got over arise from the circumstance that most valuable lands have more than one title, yet if each title is taken alone it appears to be in order. All deeds relating to land in the New Territory were registered in the San On District registry, but that registry is only a deed registry and not a registry of titles to land, and the conflicting titles could not be ascertained from the register there without some other clue than the register.
9. As a typical case of one class I may mention that the land at Cheung Sha Wan including the foreshore and the sea in front is claimed under four distinct. titles vested in four different families. Two of the titles to the same land are derived direct from the Viceroy and Governor of Canton under recited Imperial Orders. The two other titles, before the Convention, conclude by Vesting Orders made at trials before the San On Magistrates, one Magistrate deciding that the land belonged to the Tang Clan and another Magistrate deciding that the same land belonged to the Chiu Clan. Great value is placed upon this land and the matter is now waiting the formation of the proposed Land Court for decision.
10. A typical case of another class is that of some farm lands adjoining Deep Bay. About ten acres (English) had in course of time been added to the farm by the silting process of the sea and the detritus brought down by the Canton River. This natural accretion was claimed by the owners of the farm but was sold by the San On Magistrate as waste land belonging to the Government for Taels 600 ($833) to a friend, who, it is alleged, formed a syndicate consisting of himself, the Magistrate, the Major-General. and, under cover of the sale and by means of the soldiers at their command, took forcible possession of the whole farm, which was worth $60,000. This happened shortly before the Convention. The farm is now claimed by both parties and the matter is waiting the constitution of the new Land Court for decision.
11. Other cases there are of confiscation by the Magistrates and sale and relief from the forfeiture, after sale to others, upon payment of a fine. In these cases the original owners claim to retain possession of the land and the purchaser claims to be entitled to possession under the deed of sale from the Magistrate. Some land in the Kowloon district is held under a title by capture, where the clans fought. and the losing clan gave up a field as the price of the cessation of hostilities. Much time and trouble have been spent in the investigation of these claims, but without inuch result, as the parties prefer to wait for the information of the new Land Court to bring in their claims for decision.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900. xxix
12. The most serious matter of all, however, has been the stand taken by the farmers against the clans their former landlords. The clans and farmers agree that the farmers are absolute owners of the soil in perpetuity, but have been paying money or produce to the clans for generations which the clans claim to be rent payable to them. The case for the farmers is that the land is and always has been theirs absolutely free from rent, and that the amount paid by them to the clans was the Government land tax which they claim to pay direct to the Hongkong Govern- ment without the intervention of the clans. I have had several interviews with the representatives of some of the clans and with several of the head farmers and I have also visited the farms at Mui Wo. The farmers there now state that they will act under my advice and will cause no trouble to the Government, but they wish me to suspend any recommendation until I have visited the farms at Tung Ch'ung and Tai O, and they wish, if it be possible, that they should all be placed on the same equal footing. The system of payment in produce is one of the farmers' troubles because the measures used by the clans are larger than those intended by the deeds and are not the measures in general use in the district.
13. The consideration of these questions with other less important ones has shewn the importance, in the interests of the Government and of the owners of the soil (the farmers), of providing for the redemption of the so-called rent of land tax payable by the owners to the clans, and also, in the meantime, of fixing the average price of produce by law so that payment may be made in money, as the farmers desire, instead of in produce. Provisions for these objects have already been framed for legislative enactment.
14. Full particulars have been obtained from the islands of Ch'eung Chau, (which includes an important market town of 5,000 inhabitants), A Chau, a fish- ing station, and Po Tow Wan, and are now under examination. Owing to the value of the police protection now afforded by their incorporation into the Colony, the owners have voluntarily offered to pay increased Crown Rent, or such increased land tax as I may recommend to be fair.
15. Partial particulars have been obtained from the island of Ping Chau, as well as from the islands of Lantao and Lamma, and the remaining information required is promised as soon as possible.
16. The bed of the sea surrounding Ping Chau, from which coral and shells can be dredged for the lime kilns, has been granted on lease for five years to the different owners of the lime kilns on the island, as they appeared to have the prior claims. The Crown Rents for this now amount to $1,300 per annum, and inves- tigations are being made into the coral beds of other places for the purpose of granting short leases to any persons entitled in priority, or otherwise on public tender, until the investigations into this peculiar business are completed.
17. The claims to the fisheries in the bays have been partly investigated, and where there are fixed nets worked from the shore an annual Crown Rent of $5 a net has been charged and paid.
18. The stone and granite quarries of Liumun have been examined and the titles investigated; most of the title deeds have now been lodged in the Land Office for registration, and a Crown rental of $3,725 per annum is now being obtained from them until the alternative policy of charging a royalty has been determined.
19. The number of petitions from the inhabitants of the New Territory relating to land questions and disputes amounted, at the end of the year, to upwards of 1,000, most of which have been dealt with, while others are waiting for the institution of the Land Court, or for the completion of surveys.
20. At the present rate of progress it would take about two more years to com plete the registration of the whole of the New Territory and the completion of correct rent rolls and registers; but now that the questions between the farmers and the clans are likely soon to be satisfactorily disposed of, the work will progress much more rapidly.
21. Forms shewing particulars in English and Chinese of all the cultivated lands from Lai Chi Kok to Kowloon Tong have been completed and posted up in the various villages, and as no objection has been raised the Crown Rent Roll of this district will shortly be completed. The particulars of the cultivated lands from small Kowloon to Liumun are now in preparation and are likely to be com- pleted in a month or two.

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 His 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 Sha-t'au-kok, 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 T'o the Northern edge of the road is the boundary. From this point to the mouth of the Shamchun river the Northern bank of the Shamchun river forms the boundary. From the mouth of the Shamchun 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 your improve your position by every means in my power. The most respected of 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 pefect 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.
Dated this 9th day of April, 1899.

Speech made by His Excellency Sir Henry A. Blake, Governor, &c., on the occasion of the hoisting of the Flag on the 17th of April, 1899.
This is the place where the British Flag is to be hoisted. The territory has been ceded by the Emperor of China to the Queen of Great Britain. I, being the Governor of Hongkong, have been deputed by my Government to receive the New Territory, and I will treat you as friends and not as enemies. The day is an important epoch in your lives, for to-day you become British subjects. All the world over it is known that the ways of my country in ruling the people are excellent. We simply want to make the people happy, and our country is respected by all the nations of the world. Our dominions spread over the four quarters of the world and millions upon millions of people own our protection. From this day of hoisting the flag you and your families and your property come under British protection. This territory now becomes part of Hongkong. If you, the Chinese, want to know how you will be treated you can go to Kowloon and Hongkong and there see for yourselves. There you will find that all the Chinese are well protected and all their interests cared for. You may carry on your lawful occupations and your buying and selling unobstructed. Your ances- tral temples and your temples for worshipping your gods will remain. Our Queen hopes that you will always enjoy prosperity and happiness, and I, the Governor, by command of Her Majesty's Government, hereby declare that all your customs and usages will be respected. Village courts will be established and representatives will be selected from your gentry to assist in the management of public affairs, and while acting in accordance with the law you will be allowed perfect freedom. I do not say that existing regulations may not be altered, but the alterations will only be such as will meet with the approval of the law-abid- ing people. The taxes will be equal and the revenue will be collected justly. You need now have no fear of being squeezed by the officials. If exactions are made in excess of the just charges, the Government will dismiss the officials re- sponsible. The taxes collected will be expended in maintaining order and in public improvements. I am going to make a road from this place to Sha-t'in and thence to Kowloon, so that you may casily transport your goods to Hongkong for sale.
You
There will be no Customs charges or likin, and you may freely bring back with you goods in exchange. You are now all British subjects and you will share in the benefits resulting from the prosperity of Hongkong. There you will find people who, starting with little capital, have built up great businesses. will all have the same chance of becoming prosperous. In all the villages we will establish schools, and you will be protected in your rights; even the poorest people will be free from molestation. The laws that are made for your benefit must be obeyed, and all who break the law will be punished severely. All persons, the gentry, the scholars and the common people must act honestly. From this time forth you are British subjects, and should you have any complaint to make the Governor will listen to it, no injustice will be allowed nor any laxity. If you obey the law you need have no fear, and I hope that you will all form one united community bound together by ties of love and respect. I God to afford you His protection and give you happiness.

Translation of Chinese Notification issued by the Colonial Secretary (J. H. Stewart Lockhart, C.M.G.).
The following notice is issued for general information. As regards land owned by individuals it is a universal practice that tenants pay rent to their land- lords whilst landlords pay taxes to the Government. This is also an old custom in China which it is unnecessary to alter.
xxxii SUPPLEMENT TO THE hongkonG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
Information has lately been received that some ill-informed tenants have wrongly refused to pay rent on the land held by them on lease to their landlords under the pretext that the land in question is within the New Territory.
Again there are others who declare that since the land is within the New Territory all rents are to be paid to the Government and that landlords are not in any way concerned in the matter. Both these views are quite unreasonable.
Further, there are other lawless characters who have actually taken forcible possession of land or have tried to deceive the authorities by misrepresentations because they thought that the New Territory having been newly occupied, the authorities would not be able to differentiate between genuine and fictitious claims of ownership. Tenants have also endeavoured to usurp the rights of land- lords and landlords have also tried to deprive tenants of their rights as such. Such crafty and deceitful ways show great disregard of the law.
This notice is therefore issued for the special information of the elders and people within the New Territory.
Hereafter tenants must report the names of their landlords and landlords must report the names of their tenants, whilst both are required to report the acreage of all the land owned or cultivated by them in the New Territory.
All tenants must pay rent to their landlords and in case their original land- lords have sold the land to some one else they must in that case pay rent to the new landlords. Tenants must make no idle excuse for refusing to pay rent.
If tenants and landlords have any dispute they should lay the matter before proper authorities for decision. Resort to personal violence is strictly pro-
the hibited.
If any ill-behaved persons are rash enough to be guilty of any of the mal- practices alluded to above and are found out or complained against they will most certainly be severely punished according to law and no leniency will be shown to them.
Tremble and obey. A special notice. Dated this 20th day of October, 1898.

Report by Mr. Ford, Superintendent, Botanical and Afforestation Department.
Shortly after the territory came under the control of the Government of this Colony steps were taken for rearing trees for planting in such places as needed them and subsequently an estimate was submitted for the expenditure of $2,500 during 1900 in forestry works in the territory, current expenses for 1899 being defrayed from other votes of this Department. Commencing in April and continu- ing throughout the year, I personally made tours over the greater part of the territory in order to gain as much knowledge of it as possible for application after- wards and to arrange for planting operations during 1900. Up to the end of December about 60,000 pits and sites had been prepared at Taipo, P'ing-shan, Au T'au and Fu-ti Au and along the course of the new road. The planting of trees and seed sowing will commence immediately.
His Excellency the Governor suggested that some Chattanooga Sugar Mills should be obtained from America to demonstrate to the sugar growers the advantages of using Western machinery in place of the primitive mills in use. The new mills have arrived and been fixed in the midst of the sugar districts and satisfactory trials of cane-crushing have been made. His Excellency the Governor and the Colonial Secretary were present at two of the trials. The arrangements of setting up these mills and conducting the trials were entrusted to and carried out by myself.
A considerable number of references have been made to this Department in connection with tree conservation and kindred subjects and I submitted a draft pro- clamation, which was authorized and published cautioning the people against the destruction of trees.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900. xxxiii
I have introduced from Ceylon a superior variety of Pine-apple plant for distri- bution amongst the growers of this plant.
By His Excellency the Governor's instructions improved varieties of sugar cane are also being obtained from Java, the Straits Settlements and Honolulu, and I have made arrangements for Mr. TANG HING-T'ONG to receive them and cultivate them during the ensuing season.
Hongkong, 17th January, 1900.
C. FORD.
(Enclosure in Mr. C. FORD's Report dated 17th January, 1900.)
Notice issued by the Colonial Secretary.
The Government has information that during some months passed certain inhabitants of the New Territory leased to the British Government have recklessly cut down a considerable number of large trees which hitherto had wisely been preserved. These deeds seem to have been committed by a few people in order to acquire ten porary pecuniary gain for themselves only, thereby carelessly disregarding and scrificing the present and future benefits derivable from such trees by all the people in general.
The Government, knowing the great benefits to the health and comfort of the inhabitants which trees confer upon them, and being convinced that there are not too many trees in the territory, desire to protect for the good of all people those large trees which have hitherto been preserved. The Government, therefore, counsels all persons concerned to discontinue cutting such trees and to exercise the greatest care in preserving them from any injury. The Government further warn people of mischievous intentions that the police have received instructions to prosecute any person detected destroying or injuring such trees without authority.
All the trees known as Hung Sam Kau (I) are included in this pro- hibition, and in future none may be cut unless a permit be obtained from the Super- intendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department, Hongkong, the possession of which permit will protect the bearer of it, while legally employed, from interfer- ence by officers whose duty it is to protect trees.
This prohibition does not apply to the small pine trees which the people have themselves planted and which are usually used for fuel.

1898.

4. A large permanent Police Station, containing 12 rooms and accommodation for 5 Europeans, 32 Indians and Chinese, was erected in 1899 at Taipo at a cost of $7,650.
5. A permanent two-storied Police Station (11 rooms) at Au-t'au near Un Long with accommodation for 6 Europeans, 21 Indians and Chinese, was nearly completed, the expenditure on it in 1899 being $8,330.
6. A similar station at Ping-shan was also nearly completed, the expenditure in 1899 being $7,650.
7. A sum of $511.99 was spent in sanitation, in improving the drainage in Kowloon City in the vicinity of the old Customs Station now used as a Police Station, and in some minor works at Sheung-shui Police Station.

8. The main road into the territory starting from Mongkoktsui and cressing through a gap on the hills 450' high behind Ch'eungshawan and then down the Sha-t'in Valley to Taiwai was commenced in May. The earth work for a distance of seven miles from Tsim-sha tsui ferry was completed in December. Four miles of the rockwork, bridges, culverts, &c. were practically completed in the same time and the road for six miles from the ferry open and ready for traffic. Considerable progress was made with rock work and buildings in the Sha-t'in Valley. The trace on towards Taipo was made for three miles beyond Tai-wai. The total expenditure on this road during the year was $49,066.32. It is estimated that the second section, i.e., from Tai-wai to Taipo will be about seven miles, and the third from Taipo to the Northern boundary of the territory about nine miles more, the total distance from Tsim-sha-tsui ferry to a point near Shamchun being twenty-five miles.

Translation of Notification regarding the Survey.
The following notice is issued for general information. By a survey of the land the people will derive therefrom a real benefit. The Government has now decided that the land within the New Territory shall be thoroughly surveyed and when the work is properly carried out everyone's land, whether situated on hills on in valleys, will be marked on a map and the boundaries thereof will be minutely delineated. The areas will then be clearly defined and no one will be able to encroach on or appropriate the land of others. This survey ordered by the Government is intended to aid you in the protection of your own laad, to prevent litigation and to enable you to long enjoy the peaceful possession of your property.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.

Lest you may not thoroughly understand the purpose of this survey as well as the good intentions that have actuated the Government, and thereby be filled with doubts and apprehensions leading to trouble and disturbance, this notice is issued for your information.
Landlords and others within the New Territory are hereby notified that, in accordance with the orders of His Excellency the Governor, British and Indian survey-officers have arrived in Hongkong and will shortly commence to make the
survey.
When the survey officers are working in your neighbourhood, you gentry and people should, with due consideration for the good intentions of His Excellency the Governor, strive to assist the surveyors and in no way obstruct or molest them. Whenever such survey officers have any question to ask, you should answer them truthfully. All marks put up during the survey should in no case be removed. If any one dares to disobey he shall be severely punished without leniency.
Dated this 21st day of November, 1898.
Appendix No. XV.
Brief Report on Commencement of Survey Operations in the New Territory.
PRELIMINARY. ARRIVAL OF SURVEYOR.
Having been appointed to take charge of the survey operations I sailed from Calcutta on the 3rd October, and landed in Hongkong on the 19th of the same month. I was joined by Mr. NEWLAND, the second survey officer, with a small staff of Indian trained surveying coolies, and surveyors, who landed in the Colony on the 1st of November.
The Cadastral Survey was first put in hand. By the 8th Mr. NEWLAND had set the Indian surveyors at work to traverse the limits of the cultivated areas in that portion of the Hongkong District which is situated on the mainland.
TRAVERSE SYSTEM AS PRACTISED IN INDIA.
The system adopted was that practised in the Indian Cadastral Surveys. Traverses were run by means of theodolites, for the angular, and chains for the linear measurements, in order to provide suitable blocks for the Detail Surveyors who were being recruited in India through the Imperial Survey Department. As the contract system for the detail surveys had been adopted it was necessary that skeleton plots should be ready by the time the Detail Surveyors landed in the Colony. In order to insure these being in readiness the triangulation on which the Cadastral and Topographical Surveys are based was allowed to remain in abeyance for a time.
DETAIL SURVEYS.
The Detail Surveyors landed at the end of the month of November. Mr. NEWLAND had thus barely three weeks' start, but owing to the advantage that had been taken of this short period, a sufficient number of plots were completed, and ready for the Detail Surveyors who were thus enabled to cominence their work
(without undue delay) on the scale of 16 inches to a mile.
TRIANGULATION AND TOPOGRAPHY.
The triangulation was taken up in December. A base had been laid down and measured, and a connection was made with the Kowloon Observatory. The Spheroidal Coordinates of this point being known, those of the entire triangula- tion, when complete, will be referable to the value of the Kowloon (Hongkong)
xxxvi SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
Observatory as contained in the Nautical Almanac. During the month of Decem- ber, 1899, ten points were observed at, by means of which a sufficiency of points were fixed to enable the Survey of the Topography of the New Territory to be commenced on the scale of 1 inch to a mile. This was begun by the end of the month of December.
TRANSFER OF TRAVERSE PARTIES TO SHAP PAT HEUNG AND PAT
HEUNG DISTRICTS.
It was considered advisable to begin the surveys in the immediate vicinity of the head quarters of the Colony. As soon as a sufficient area had been prepared for the detailed survey, arrangements were made to transfer the Traverse Camp to the Shap Pat Heung and Pat Heung Valleys where the principal cultivated areas on the mainland are situated.
PROGRESS OF THE SURVEYS.
Owing to the difficulties presented by the physical configuration of the country, and to want of familiarity with the surroundings, the progress of the survey has been slow. But it is hoped that as more local experience is gained a greater area will be traversed and surveyed in detail than has been the case in the short time. that the survey detachment has been at work in the country. Efforts are being made to employ Chinese labour for chaining and carrying of instruments. Indian labour apparently can command higher wages, and the supply is also limited.
It is very remarkable that no incivility or hindrance of survey work has been experienced at present, the cultivators taking little notice of the operations going on among their fields. This is undoubtedly due to the en ployment of Chinese coolies.

Appendix No. XVII.
Report by Dr. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer.
From the enclosed returns it will be seen that malarial fever has been preva- lent in the New Territory since it was taken over in April last.
I attach the following tables:-
1. A return showing the admission to hospital of cases of malarial fever from the New Territory occurring amongst the Police during 1899.
2. A return showing admissions of Police to hospital from the several
stations in the New Territory during 1899.
It will be seen that Un Long contributed the largest number of fever cases, viz., 19 out of 65, Taipo coming next with 14 cases. The disease was not of a particularly severe type, the only fatal case being that of the Inspector at Ch'eung
Chau.
He was admitted to hospital with symptoms of remittent fever and rapidly developed hyperpyrexia.
A careful post-mortem examination was made and as this was a most excep- tional case portions of the various organs were preserved and sent to Dr. MANSON for examination. From a report which I have recently received from the Tropical School of Medicine, it is doubtful whether this was a true case of malaria and it would be more correct to consider it a case of Siriasis or Thermic fever.
In addition to the cases from the Police, three of the Cadets were admitted from Taipo suffering from attacks of remittent fever; they recovered.
Three cases of dysentery were admitted to hospital; one patient was a European and two Indians. Knowing how malarious many of the districts were, instructions were drawn up by myself for the guidance of Police and others, a copy of which I enclose, the object being to protect them as far as possible from anything that would tend to induce attacks of fever. special prominence being given to the prophylactic use of quinine in small daily doses.
Accompanied by the Director of Public Works and the Captain Superintendent of Police, I spent three days in visiting the territory and selecting the most suitable sites for the Police Stations. This was prior to the occupation of the Territory in April. Undoubtedly much of the fever has been occasioned by the temporary nature of the buildings in which the Government servants of necessity have been housed. When permanent brick buildings have taken the place of the temporary buildings, mostly matsheds, I anticipate a considerable diminution in the number of cases of malarial fever.
Dr.. HO NAI-HOP, a licentiate of the College of Medicine for Chinese in Hong- kong, was appointed Resident Medical Officer and was stationed at Taipo, his duties being to attend to the minor ailments, mild attacks of fever, &c. occurring amongst the Civil Staff and the Police. Arrangements have been made whereby he regularly visits the several Police Stations and treats free any villagers who may apply for advice and medicine. Free vaccination is also performed by him. during the winter months on his periodical visits. I attach a time table showing the days and hours at which he visits the several stations.
Knowledge of the prevalence of plague at Cheung Chau was obtained in April last and Drs. THOMSON and CLARK were deputed to visit and take the necessary steps to eradicate the disease.
House to house visitation was instituted, a matshed hospital erected and free medicine distributed, so that by the middle of June the discase was practically stamped out. The Police carried out the house to house visitation, Inspector GILLIES particularly distinguishing himself. Indeed, I have very little doubt that the assiduous way in which he performed these duties undermined his health and predisposed him to the attack of fever which unfortunately proved fatal.
A few cases of plague occurred at Chinese Kowloon. No other cases were reported from any other portion of the New Territory although the disease was epidemic in Hongkong.

(Enclosure No. 2 in Principal Civil Medical Officer's Report dated 12th Jannary, 1900.)
Instructions to the Police to guard against Malaria.
1. Water from bath-rooms or cook-houses should not be thrown over the ground near the Station.
2. Pools or puddles of stagnant water near the Station should be filled up and turfed.
3. Preserve trees in the neighbourhood of the Station, as shade is beneficial.
4. On returning from duty wet, either from rain or perspiration, immediately get into a dry change of clothes having a hot bath before doing so if possible; par- ticularly avoid sitting in wet clothes.
5. Bathe in hot water not cold; this does not prohibit sea-bathing.
6. Eat, drink and smoke in moderation, especially remembering that though a small quantity of alcohol is beneficial a large quantity is injurious. Stimulants should not be taken until the day's work is over.
7. The best drink during the heat of the day is lemonade (made by boiling for half-an-hour a sliced lemon or four limes in a pint and a half of water, strain- ing, filtering and sweetening).
8. Be careful always to wear a helmet or sunhat when exposed to the sun.
9. As a preventative take a five-grain quinine pill every morning before break- fast during the months May-September.

By His Excellency Sir HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Com- mander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice- Admiral of the same.
Whereas by an Order of the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. made on the 20th day of October, 1898, after reciting that by a Convention dated the 9th day of June, 1898, between Her Majesty and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, it is provided that the limits of British territory in the regions adjacent to the Colony of Hongkong, shall be enlarged under lease to Her Majesty in the manner described in the said Convention; and after reciting that it is expedient to make provision for the Government
of the territories acquired by Her Majesty under the said Convention, during the continuance of the said lease, it was ordered (inter alia) as follows:-
1. The territories within the limits and for the term described in the said Convention shall be and the same are hereby declared to be part. and parcel of Her Majesty's Colony of Hongkong in like manner and for all intents and purposes as if they had originally formed part of the said Colony.

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 1899, together with the returns, &c., appended thereto.
I have the honour to be,
The Honourable
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.
Sir.
Your obedient Servant,
J. M. ATKINSON, Principal Civil Medical Officer.
POPULATION.
The estimated population of the Colony for 1899 was 259,310. There were 1,132 births and 6,181 deaths, of the latter 1,434 were from plague.
The birth-rate was 4.3 per 1,000 as against 4.7 per 1,000 in 1898.
The death-rate was 23.8 per 1,000 as compared with 22.30 per 1,000 in 1898. Excluding the deaths from plague the death-rate would have been 18.3 per 1,000.
The following figures will show the comparison of the death-rate in the different nationalities for the last two years :--

The increased mortality amongst the Chinese was occasioned by the greater number of deaths from plague.
PREVALENCE OF SICKNESS IN THE DIFFERENT SEASONS OF THE YEAR, AND GENERAL CHARACTER AS TO THE MILDNESS OR SEVERITY OF THE DISEASES PREVAILING.
Small-pox. This disease was much less prevalent than in 1895, only 69 cases having been notified as compared with 199 in the previous year, as usual the greater number of cases occurring in the winter months. At no time was the disease epidemic.
Plaque.--Information was obtained of the presence of some sporadic cases of plague in the neighbourhood of Canton at the commencement of the year.
In the month of February the Government was informed of the presence of an outbreak of plague at Tainan in Formosa.
The Sanitary Board was informed on the 16th March of the presence of sporadic cases of plague at Pakhoi.
On the 22nd March the Sanitary Board, on account of the receipt of two letters from Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Tainan, Formosa, reporting an increase of cases of bubonic plague in the Tainan Prefecture in the week ending 13th March, advised the Government to proclaim Tai Wan Foo and its Port Anping as places at which Bubonic Plague prevails.
XLIV
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.
Rats and Plague.-In February the Captain Superintendent of Police, the Medical Officer of Health and the Government Analyst were appointed a Commission for the purpose of exterminating rats. A grant of $200 was made for traps, poison, and other requisites. Experiments were made to see if it were possible to attract rats into cellars by means of food in order that poison might afterwards be used. It was found that the animals had so much garbage in the streets and lanes, that the choice food placed in cellars had no attraction. Traps were set in every house in West Point-a district in which plague is invariably bad whenever the Colony is infected. After two months no more rats could be caught in West Point, and householders said that no more were to be seen. Simultaneously with the operations in this district, traps were set in Kowloon, and in the Central District. Altogether about 1,000 rats were caught. A large number, in addition, were caught by the Chinese, many of whom bought traps and put themselves to considerable trouble to exterminate the animals.
The Commission was dissolved in May, as the Medical Officer of Health stated that it appeared more probable that rats caught plague from man rather than that men were infected through rats. Although the West Point District had probably never before been so free from rats as it was just before plague appeared, the epidemic there was one of the worst experienced.
On account of the increase in the number of cases notified in the month of March, steps were taken by the Sanitary Board at its meeting on the 3rd March for the enforcement of the provisions of the cleansing and lime-washing bye-laws in the central parts of the City.
Early in April, on account of the prevalence of the disease in No. 9 Health District. the Board declared it infected.
Prompt measures were immediately taken to deal with the disease.
The disease became much more prevalent in May, at the end of the month the Branch Plague Hospital was reopened for the reception of plague patients.
Early in June a report was made to the Government of the reappearance of plague at Canton. On the 17th June Health Districts Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 were declared to be infected. Information of the presence of plague at Amoy was obtained in the middle of June.
The Sanitary Board on 24th June advised that Amoy be declared infected with plague. Health Districts Nos. 11 and 12 (Kowloon Peninsula) were declared infected with the disease on 30th June.
Amoy was declared free from plague on 17th of August.
It was not until the end of September that plague ceased to be prevalent. On the 12th October the Sanitary Board reported that clean Bills of Health might then be issued as no cases had been notified for the previous ten days.
In all 1,486 cases of plague were notified during the year with 1,434 deaths.
The following table gives the number of cases reported in each month for the years 1898 and
1899:-

From July, 1898. to the end of February, 1899, only sixteen cases occurred, the disease during this time was quiescent, the marked recurrence of cases, however, in houses previously infected shows that the bacilli are but dormant and in the ill-ventilated, badly lighted and overcrowded Chinese dwellings which exist in this Colony only require certain atmospheric conditions to favour their growth and spread.
During 1899 out of a total of 7,159 houses in the City of Victoria there were 709 houses in which cases of plague occurred, in 80 of these 709 houses cases of plague had occurred in 1898, so that 11 per cent. of the cases were in houses previously infected in the 1898 outbreak.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.

The great increase of cases which in epidemic years has always occurred in the spring proves that in these years a fresh introduction of plague bacilli occurs, information was obtained of the presence of sporadic cases in the district round Canton at the commencement of the year, an outbreak also occurred at Wuchow at the beginning of March and news was obtained of the presence of cases at Pakhoi on the 16th of March, it also appears that the great influx of Chinese at the Annual Race Meeting, which is always held towards the end of February, may be one means whereby these germs are introduced afresh into this Colony.
This year vigorous steps have been taken to prevent this influx of Chinese, a different system has also been established to exterminate the rats.
The Chinese are paid 2 cents a head for each rat, the Sanitary Inspectors of the various Health Districts collecting them on their morning rounds, by this means 300 rats a week are now being destroyed.
It will be seen that the disease did not reach its maximum until June, quite a month later than was the case in the previous year; it is worthy of note that the mean monthly temperature was considerably less in the first six months of the year than in 1898 as the following figures will show :-

A considerable diminution of the number of cases followed the month of the maximum mean temperature, viz., July.
This is the first time that the disease has been epidemic in two successive years. Fortunately very few Europeans were attacked this year.
One of the islands that were annexed this year, viz., Cheung Chau suffered from an outbreak in the months of April and May, an epidemic of what appears to have been swine-fever prevailed amongst the pigs on this Island prior to the attack in man.
Rinderpest this year was very prevalent amongst the cattle in the Colony.
Early in March it broke out in a dairy at Wanchai and rapidly spread to a dairy at Causeway Bay.
Kowloon was infected with this disease towards the end of April, in May it occurred in a large dairy at Wongneichung and in September there were a few cases at the Pokfulum Dairy Farm.
1898.
Enteric fever.--There were 59 cases reported during the year, an increase of 7 as compared with
Cholera. For the third year in succession we were practically free from this class of disease, undoubtedly the habit of the Chinese in drinking their water boiled prevents the spread of this disease should it be introduced.
Malarial fevers and Beri-beri were much more prevalent than in the previous year.
Beri-beri is very common amongst the Chinese, it does not, however, become epidemic, it is rarely that more than one case occurs in the same house, so that the disease as it now exists is not very infectious
In order to obtain more information concerning this disease it would, I think, be advisable to include it amongst the list of notifiable diseases.
The following table gives the number of cases of infectious diseases notified during the year:- ·

RELATIVE MORTALITY IN THE DIFFERENT SEASONS.
From the following table it will be seen that the months of May and June were the most fatal, the cause of this mortality was the greater prevalence of plague during these months.

GENERAL SANITARY CONDITION OF THE COLONY.
The presence of plague in an epidemic form again this year shows that much more radical measures inust be taken if it is intended that we are to rid the Colony of this fell disease.
The Public Health Ordinance of 1887 and The Closed Houses and Insanitary Dwellings Ordinance of 1894, have only applied to buildings erected since the passing of these Ordinances and hence were not retrospective in their action.
The Legislature realising this has introduced and passed The Insanitary Properties Ordinance, 1899. The object of this Bill is to improve the sanitation of the houses in this Colony by the com- pulsory provision of open spaces at the rear of every building in this Colony.
It contains most important regulations limiting cubicles and partitions, it forbids cubicles or partitions in houses fronting streets of a width of less than 15 feet except on the top floor, no cubicles or partitions will be permitted in any kitchen, it limits the height of cubicles, etc., etc.
There are also provisions for securing the free circulation of air under and over cubicles.
The height of buildings erected after the passing of this Ordinance is limited according to the width of the street upon which such building abuts.
The most important regulations are those which insist on the provision of open spaces in the rear of all domestic buildings, these will practically do away with back-to-back houses.
Practically this Bill will further the better sanitation of this Colony by doing away with back-to- back houses and by the provision of more light and ventilation to the Chinese dwellings.
It is unfortunate that the habits and inanner of living of the Chinese necessitate the existence of cubicles in domestic buildings, however the provisious of this Ordinance will go far to render these domestic buildings more healthy in every way in the future.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900. XLVII
To remedy the great evil of overcrowding it appears to me that it will be necessary to facilitate the Chinese living away from the densely populated parts of the City by encouraging the construction of tramways to the East and West, another means would be a cheap launch service to the newly acquired land on the New Territory immediately across the harbour and the erection of cheaper dwellings there.
More public latrines and urinals are urgently required.
A scheme is now under consideration with reference to the construction of underground latrines and urinals.
The Sanitary Board, realising that the present system of disposing of the garbage and refuse of the City constitutes a danger to the health of the Colony, have strongly recommended the erection of a Refuse Destructor.
This matter was fully investigated by the Board's Surveyor, Mr. CROOK, when on leave "at home" and this recommendation was the outcome of a very full and able report by him to the Board on the erection of a Refuse Destructor for the City of Victoria.

SANITARY MARITIME ORDINANCE, No. 8.
The Minister of the Interior :-
With a view to according to Navigation and Commerce all the facilities compatible with the exigencies of the sanitary service, and especially with the object of avoiding delay in the admission to free pratique of steamers, which, though having a clean bill of health, have to undergo the doctor's visit and disinfection for the sole reason that they come from ports infected with Bubonic plague;
With reference to Law No. 5,849 (Series 3A) of December 22nd, 1888, on the protection of public health and hygiene;
Decrees:
ARTICLE 1.
On steamers, coming from places which are declared to be infected with Bubonic plague and bound for Italian ports, a doctor will be embarked, nominated as occasion arises, by this Ministry, when a formal request is made by the various owners and captains.
ARTICLE 2.
The said doctor is charged with the general supervision on board during the passage; and, during the twenty-four hours which precede the arrival of the steamer in an Italian port, he must satisfy himself that the disinfection of soiled objects of personal and domestic use has been carried out, and he will proceed to medically examine all the persons on board.
ARTICLE 3.
He is further bound, on the arrival of the steamer, to present to the Port Authorities his written. declaration indicating the hygienic and sanitary conditions on board as well as any steps in the way of treatment that should be taken. Should everything be declared to be in perfect order, the steamer, in respect of its sanitary condition, will be forthwith admitted to free pratique; if, on the other hand, anything abnormal is reported on board, the steamer will be submitted to such measures as are prescribed for various cases by the Sanitary Maritime Ordinances at present in force.
ARTICLE 4.
The above mentioned doctor has the right to a free first-class passage and board, and his fees, fixed for each case by arrangement with this Ministry, shall be at the charge of the Company or owners
of the steamers.
ARTICLE 5.
The provisions of the Sanitary Maritime Ordinance No. 3 of March 8th, 1897, remain substantially unchanged, only being modified by the present Ordinance in the manner of the carrying out of the doctor's visit and of the disinfection, and only for those steamers which, from their departure to their arrival, have been constantly kept in normal condition.
The Prefects of Maritime Provinces are charged with the execution of the present Ordinance.

The Council met pursuant to summons.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 5th April, 1900, were read and confirmed.
NEW MEMBERS.Mr. MAY took his seat as Acting Colonial Secretary, after having taken the Oath prescribed by Ordinance 4 of 1869. Mr. BREWIN also took the Oath and his seat on his appointment as an Official Member of Council.
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The Acting Colonial Secretary, by command of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, laid ou the table the Report of the Finance Committee dated the 5th April, 1900, (No. 6), and moved its adoption.
The Colonial Treasurer seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
QUESTIONS. Pursuant to notice, Mr. CHATER, in the absence of Mr. WHITEHEAD, asked the following questions:-
(1.) Does the Government, in view of the fact that a large area of recently cut soil is exposed all round the building, consider it safe to send boys into the "Belilios' Reformatory" at Causeway Bay at any time within the next two years?
(2.) Will the Government, before sending any boys into the Reformatory, obtain a detailed medical
report as to the sanitary condition of the surroundings of the Reformatory?
660
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 12TH MAY. 1900.
The Acting Colonial Secretary replied as follows:-
In answer to the first part of the question, I have to state it is not the case that a large area of recently cut soil is exposed all round the building. The site on which the Reformatory stands was cut years ago and no soil has been cut to speak of within the last eight months.
In answer to the second part of the question, I have to state that undoubtedly the Govern- ment, before placing boys in the Reformatory, will obtain a medical report as to the fitness of the Institution for their reception. The site is not likely to be a feverish one, for the build- ings occupied by Europeans in the immediate vicinity are free from fever, and moreover I am informed by the architect that the workmen who have been engaged in erecting the building have not suffered from fever, which is a very hopeful sign. It has been generally found that when a building is going to be feverish the workmen engaged on it are subject to fever.
VALIDATING BILL.-The Attorney General moved the first reading of a Bill entitled An Ordi- nance to validate and legalize the proceedings of the Legislative Council of this Colony during the time that Mr. ARTHUR WINBOLT BREWIN illegally sat as a member of such Council, under an invalid provisional appointment.
The Acting Colonial Secretary seconded.

in such other places or districts in the Colony as Section as to may, from time to time, be prescribed by any Chinese Regulation made by the Governor in Council and music. published in the Gazette, play the Chinese reed pipe (except in connection with a funeral or mar- riage) or beat any drum or goug, within any pre- mises, or knowingly suffer or allow any such instruments to be played, or beaten, upon his premises between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m."
Objects and Reasons.
The operation of certain enactments of the Regulation of Chinese Ordinance, 1888, has been hitherto confined wholly or chiefly to the City of Victoria. The growth of building and population in other parts of the Colony renders it desirable that the Governor in Council should have power to extend from time to time the benefit of such enactments to other places. The object of this Ordinance is to confer the necessary authority for that purpose.

2. The following is the mode of assessing the pensions of widows, whose husbands were contributors to the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund :-
FIRST WIFE'S PENSION.
A. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION PAID BY SUCH
MEMBER DURING BACHELORHOOD.
RULE: Accumulate the contribution without interest. and multiply the amount by the quantity found in Table 4 corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.
The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death, on account of his past contributions.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood, when accumulated without interest, amount to $300, and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then
$300 × 2927=$87·81=wife's pension.
NOTE: Where the contributor has joined before the first day of March, 1895, the contributions should be accumulated up to that date with 6 per cent. compound interest.
B. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FUTURE ANNUAL CONTRIBU-
TIONS TO BE PAYABLE FROM THE DATE OF MARRIAGE. (a) In respect of official income receivable at the time of mar-
riage. RULE: Multiply the annual contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.
C.
The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death on account of his contributions in respect of the official income receivable at the time of marriage.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred to member's official income at the time of marriage be $1,000 a year, and the annual contribution be $40 (to cease at 55), and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage be 30 and 20 respectively, then
$40 × 3·188-$127.55-wife's pension. (b) In respect of increments made to the official income after
marriage.
RULE: Mutiply the additional contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the date of the increment of official income.
The product will give the additional annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death, in respect of his additional contributions on account of an increase of his official income.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred to member's official in- come be increased by $200 a year, and the then ages of himself and wife are respectively 35 and 25, then the further pension will be
$8 × 2·781=$22.25-wife's further pension.
ASSESSMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PENSION DURING THE
TIME SUCH MEMBER IS A WIDOWER.
When such member becomes a widower, a pension is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been if then alive, such pension either remain. ing unchanged in amount from that to which the late wife was entitled, or becoming subsequently augmented or reduced in the manner provided for by the Rules, according as such member's con- tributions increase or decrease from that time through variations in his official income.
The amount so determined is to form the basis for estimating the commencing pension to which a second wife becomes entitled at the time of her marriage.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred to member becomes a widower, a pension of ($87-81 + $127:55 + $22.25) $237-61 is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been if then alive, and the pension will continue at that amount until such member's official income (and his consequent contribution) is either increased or decreased. If a further increment of $200 official income be made when such member is aged 40 and his late wife, if then alive, would have been aged 30, then the additional amount of supposed pension would be found by Rule 2 B (b) thus:
$8 × 2·295-$18:36-wife's supposed further pension. Should such member re-marry, the amount to be used as a basis for estimating the commencing pension to which the second wife would be entitled would be either $237-61, if no augmentation had been made to the
official income, or
$255 97, if an augmentation of $200 had been made
to the official income at age 40, as above. NOTE: If there have been more than one wife, care must be taken to use always the age of the last wife.
SECOND WIFE'S PENSION.
3. A. PENSION TO WHICH A SECOND WIFE (OF SUCH MEMBER
AS ABOVE) BECOMES ENTITLED ON MARRIAGE.
(a) When the second wife at the time of marriage is of the same age as, or older than, the first wife would have been if then alive.
RULE: The pension is to commence at the amount as deter- mined by Rule 2 hereof, and to remain stationary at that amount, unless and until such member's official in- come be increased or decreased.
(b) When the sec nd wife at the time of marriage is younger
than the late wife would have been if then alive.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1900.
RULE: Take the pension as determined by Rule 2 hereof, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C correspond- ing to the respective ages of the husband and that which his late wife would have reached if alive at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply the last product by the quantity found in Table 4 corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage. The final product will give the commencing annual pension to which the second wife will be entitled on her husband's death, in respect of his official income at the time of their marriage-and this pension is to remain stationary at that amount, un- less and until such member's official income be increased or decreased. EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage, the age of such member's first wife, if then alive, would have been 35, his own age is 45, and that of the second wife is 30, and if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled as found by Rule 2 hereof, is $237-61, then $237.61 × 3-777 × ·2453=$22014-second wife's com- mencing pension.
B. INCREMENTS ON THE LAST-FOUND PENSIONS.
The second wives' pensions are to be augmented as often as their husbands have an increase of official income. Such augmentations to be calculated according to the principles and in the manner described in Rule 2 B () hereof, always taking the ages of the husband and wife as they stand at the date of the increase of official income. THIRD AND SUBSEQUENT WIVES' PENSIONS, 4. The rules laid down in Rules 2 and 3 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the case of pensions to a third, or any sub- It should be borne sequent wife of a member as above.
in mind that the pension to the last wife, and the age she would have been if alive at the date of the further marriage, are always to be taken as the basis for estimat- ing the commencing pension to which the new wife is entitled.
PENSIONS TO WIDOWS AND CHILDREN OF SUCH MEMBERS AS MAY HAVE JOINED THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF OTHER COLONIES.
5. The widow's pension should be based upon the estimated ac- quired interest that such transferred member has in the then exist- ing Fund at the date of his removal. This interest may be assessed as shown below:-
A.
IF SUCH MEMBER BE A BACHELOR AT THE TIME OF HIS
TRANSFER.
First Wife: His interest in the Fund should be taken as at the time of transfer and according to Rule 24; and this amount should be further accumulated without interest from the time of such transfer until his first marriage : and, the pension that the widow thence arising is entitled to should be computed by the same Rule-regard being had to the cessation of further contributions. EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood and up to the time of transfer amount to $200, and if this sum, when further accumul- ated without interest, amounts to $300 by the time of his first marriage, and if the ages of himself and wife at mar- riage are 30 and 20 respectively, then $300 × ‧2927= $87 81-wife's pension.
Second Wife: Take the pension as above determined, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C correspond- ing to the respective ages of the husband and that which his late wife would have reached if alive at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply this last product by the quantity found in Table 4 corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage (vide Rule 2 C). EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage, the age of such husband's first wife, if then alive, would have been 35, his own age is 45, and that of his second wife is 30, and if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled as found above, is $87.81, then
$87-81 × 3-777 × 2453-$81.35=second wife's pension. Third &e. Wife: For a third, or subsequent wife, take the pension for the last existing wife, and proceed to adjust it in the manner shown for the case of the second wife. B. IF SUCH MEMBER BE MARRIED, OR A WIDOWER, AT THE
TIME OF HIS TRANSFER.
The widow's pension attaching to his then wife, or, if he be a widower, the pension which is supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of the same age as his late wife would have been if then alive (vide Rule 2 C), should be abated by just the amount that it would be increased, correspond- ing to the amount of contributions that such member will cease to pay upon transfer from the Public Service of the Colony, and according to the principles laid down in section 7 of the Ordinance. Again, this abated pension should be adjusted upon re-marriage, in the manner shown in Rule 5, corresponding to the then ages of the husband and wife.
CHILDREN'S PENSIONS.
6. The children's pensions. being based upon what the widow was receiving, or would have received. had there been one. may be calculated according to the Rules contained in Rules 2, 3, 4 and 5, regard being had to the conditions laid down by the Ordinance.
GENERAL WORKING.
7. The cost of remittances to and from Europe, with the loss, if any, upon the exchange, will be borne by the individual beneficiaries upon whose account these outgoings may be incurred.

The following Extracts from Despatch No. 50 of 16th February, 1900, from the Secretary of State for the Colonies regarding the Memoranda from Un-official Members of Council and the Protest of the Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD on the subject of the Estimates for 1900, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 7th instant, are published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th May, 1900.
F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Extracts from Despatch No. 50 of 16th February, 1900, from the Secretary of State for the Colonies regarding the Memoranda from Un-official Members of Council and the Protest of the
Honourable T. H. Whitehead on the subject of the Estimates for 1900.
"16. I desire moreover to point out that I do not think it desirable that the whole of the small available balances of the Colony should be immediately swallowed up in the execution of Extraordinary Public Works as proposed by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council, as I consider it very desirable that the Colony should possess considerable reserve funds, to meet the possibility of an unexpected and unavoidable diminution in the Colony's Revenues. The present Hongkong balances are comparatively trifling in amount.
17. I concur in the view expressed in paragraph 4 of your despatch under acknowledgment that the proceeds of Land Sales are properly applicable only to works of permanent utility. This view has been frequently expressed in despatches from my predecessors, and it is in accordance with this principle that it was laid down in paragraph 26 of the Instructions for the preparation of Colonial Estimates referred to above that in the Abstract of Expenditure the head for works not annually recurrent should be kept distinct from the total Expenditure on other services which should not, as a rule, exceed the total estimate of Revenue exclusive of Land Sales. It is not, however, necessary to re-establish the Special Land Sales Fund which formerly existed in Hongkong out of which special votes outside the Estimates were taken for Extraordinary Public Works, since it is desirable to maintain the practice of placing all the Expenditure on the Annual Estimates. I would add that in recent years, although the special Land Sales Fund has been abolished, the Expenditure on Extraordinary Public Works has as a matter of fact on the average more or less balanced the Revenue derived from Land Sales.
18. I have carefully considered the memoranda from some of the Unofficial Members of Council enclosed in your despatch under acknowledgment, and also the protest from Mr. T. H. WHITEHEAD, M.L.C., forwarded in your despatch No. 346 of the 1st December last, and the above remarks deal with most of the points raised by them.
19. I would only add that I fully concur in their views, which are shared by yourself as to pressing on Sanitary improvements in the Colony as fast as the finances admit: but I adhere to the opinion that it is not necessary or desirable to raise a Loan for meeting any special Expenditure in the New Territory since the revenue from the New Territory appears likely before long to be sufficient to meet such Expenditure, and moreover the Public Works contemplated in that Territory are not of sufficient magnitude or of such a character as to render necessary or to justify the raising of a Loan.

The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1899, is published.
By Command,
F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 14.
BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 30th March, 1900.
SIR,--I have the honour to submit my Report on the work of this department for 1899.
STAFF.
The Assistant Superintendent, Mr. TUTCHER, returned from twelve months' leave on the 17th February.
The late Head Forester, LO QUAI, who resigned in 1898 to commence business on his own account, was re-appointed on 21st October as Foreman of Forestry Works in the New Territory.
Much sickness prevailed amongst the Chinese staff, there being an aggregate of 858 days, an excess of 478 days over the previous year. Sixty-two different men were sick, against 30 in 1898.
Changes in the staff were even greater than in the previous year, 18 men left the service, a number of these being coolies with experience who left on account of the smallness of their pay being insufficient to meet increased cost of living in Hongkong; they had to be replaced with inferior men which rendered it difficult to carry on work properly.
The Hon. F. H. MAY, C.M.G., Captain Superintendent of Police, kindly consented to a proposal I made for the Garden boys to attend the Police School in order to be taught English, and they commenced to attend in December.
REVENUE.
The receipts were in excess of those in 1898. The total receipts were :--
From Plant Sales.
$626.60

PLANT HOUses.
The collection of ferns requiring more accommodation No. 1 plant house, which was used for orchids, was demolished and the construction of a new improved and larger house was commenced. When it is finished the ferns will be transferred to it from No. 3 house, which will then be used for the orchids which were in No. 1 house.
WALKS.
Some of the old concrete which was becoming worn and broken was surfaced with decomposed granite and cement which is a great improvement. This work will be continued until all the walks which require it are finished.
EXPERIMENTS.
Exhaustive experiments were made with Jadoo fibre (and liquid) which has been highly recom- mended as a substance in which plants may be grown either entirely or mixed with the usual composts, but the results do not offer any encouragement to continue its use for any purpose whatever.

RHODOLEIA CHAMPIONI, HOOK.
689
This very rare tree was supposed until 1894 to be represented by only four trees which grew in the Happy Valley, but in that year Mr. TUTCHER found several other small trees of it on the opposite-- the southern--side of the hill on which they grew, and now he has recently discovered quite a large number, about 100 of various sizes ranging down to small seedlings, not far away from the same place. In my Annual Report for last yr I mentioned that Dr. A. HENRY had found the same tree in Yunnan.

PLANT SALES,
Two thousand eight hundred and ten (2,810) plants were sold and they realized $626.60 only, a very slight reduction on the previous year's sales, although the sale of plants to places outside the Colony was discontinued. Orders for plants from the Coast Ports of China and other foreign places had increased so much that it was found necessary in the latter part of the previous year to discontinue supplying plants outside the Colony, otherwise local requirements could not have been met.
LOAN OF PLANTS.
The number of plants lent for decoration for public purposes was 4,235 for which $223.71 was received; these are slight increases on the 1898 transactions.
ZOOLOGICAL SECTION.
Since the new aviary was finished a large number of birds have been presented and purchased, which have furnished the new structure and been a great attraction to visitors.
690
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1900.
NEW VEGETABLE GARDEN.
In consequence of the abolition of the site for building purposes of the garden which supplied the Governor's table with vegetables, it was necessary to find a place elsewhere for use, the only place. available was the site of the old tennis courts at Government House; the stone of these was removed and new soil carried in which made a good garden so far as it went, but the area is very small and insufficient to allow a full supply of vegetables.
RAINFALL.
The rainfall in the gardens was $3.91 inches in comparison with 65.99 inches in the previous year. The daily returns are given in Appendix A.
HERBARIUM AND LIBRARY.
Dr. AUGUSTINE HENRY, F.L.S., has presented another fine dried collection of 1,110 species of plants for the herbarium; these were collected in Western China.
Additional work in the New Territory has prevented me from being able to devote any time. scarcely to herbarium work.
Annual Reports, Bulletins, &c. have been received from the following establishments to the chiefs of whom my thanks are due :-

FORESTRY.
Planting to the extent of 54,582 trees has been continued in the island and Kowloon in 10 different localities and in various new and old roads where trees would thrive. There are some roads, especially in Kowloon, which are wide and treeless and which it might, without consideration, be thought might be planted, but which really, afford no promise of success, cither on account of exposure, unsuitable soil, or other reasons. Statistics are given in Appendix B.
THINNING OF LANTATIONS.
This work has been carried on in 12 localities ranging over the whole Colony; 45,411 trees were removed and they sold for $666.96 net. The total net revenue for forestry was $708.14.
All thinnings which have been made to date for many years past are only the smallest and worst trees to allow free growth to the better ones which remain.
Particulars are contained in Appendix C.
PROTECTIVE SERVICE.
The year has seen a further reduction in the numbers of illicit tree cutting, only 640 trees having been reported. The number of cases brought forward by forest guards was only 25, of which there were 24 convictions.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MAY, 1900.
FIRES.
691
I am not able to report so favourably of grass fires. These were very numerous and destructive. The total number of fires was 52, which destroyed 13,229 trees, compared with 27 and 3,285, re- spectively, in the previous year. The most destructive fire was on Mount Davis on March 19th ; this killed 8,448 trees some of them in gullies being of good size.
Twenty (20) out of the 52 fires did no harm beyond burning grass.
The statistics are in Appendix D.
FIRE BARRIERS.
Fifty-three (53) miles of old barriers were cleaned and 65 miles of new ones were made. Low combustible vegetation having grown higher than formerly in many places I had all the barriers which were only 10 feet wide increased to 15 feet, which affords greater security in preventing fires leaping the bared lines.
NEW TERRITORY.
Soon after the New Territory was taken over I commenced a series of journeys, which were continued as occasion allowed, over the whole territory to acquire information on all points in which this department might be called upon to operate in its special functions.
It was found that tree planting was required around the various new
was required around the various new police stations and the buildings occupied by Europeans at Taipo, and that tree planting could also be done with advantage in other places. Operations were therefore cominenced in October for planting about 80,000 trees during the ensuing year.
His Excellency the Governor when travelling in the territory came to the conclusion after seeing the sugar cane growing there that new varieties of cane might be introduced, and at His Excellency's request I have made arrangements for new varieties to be obtained from different countries, some of which have arrived and been planted near Ha Tsun.
His Excellency also obtained two Chatannooga Sugar Mills which this department had fixed in the New Territory and exhibited the working of to the sugar growers there. The advantages these mills possess over the Native mills may lead to their extended introduction.
I have also obtained improved varieties of pine-apple plants from Ceylon which will be useful introductions to the districts where pine-apples are now cultivated to a considerable extent. The best fruits from the New Territory are now brought over to Hongkong and canned at a factory at West Point.
The New Territory has features which show possibilities of considerable development in forestry and kindred work, but these matters cannot be fittingly dealt with in an Annual Report of work done; they, however, should receive best and early attention in another way.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

SANITARY BOARD OFFICES, March 24th, 1900.
SIR,I have the honour to submit for the information of the Board the following Report upon the health of the Colony of Hongkong for the year 1899.
AREA.
During the past year the area of the Colony has been extended by the inclusion of about 400 square miles of the adjacent mainland, but no part of this territory has, however, as yet been placed under the jurisdiction of the Sanitary Board. The island of Hongkong has an area of rather more than 29 square miles, and the City of Victoria is situated upon its northern shore, extending along the sea-front for a distance of four and a half miles and up the hillside to the city limit of 800 feet above high-water mark. The total area of the city covered by buildings is approximately 675 acres. The opposite peninsula of Kowloon to the old frontier has an area of some 23 square miles. but it is proposed to bring all that territory between the shore and the first range of hills, and extending from Lyemoon Pass on the east to Laichikok on the west, (having a sea-frontage of some ten miles) within the provisions of the Public Health Ordinances, thus making the total area of the Kowloon Health Districts about 18 square miles.
The domestic buildings of the City of Victoria number 7,921 (exclusive of Barracks and Police Stations) of which 752 are European dwellings while there are also some 120 European dwellings in the Hill District. The various villages on the island of Hongkong contain 40 European dwellings and 1,650 Chinese dwellings, while in British Kowloon there are 135 European dwellings and 2,150 Chinese dwellings exclusive of the Barracks for the Hongkong Regiment and 72 small terrace houses used by this Regiment as married quarters.
This shows an increase upon last year of 264 non-Chinese dwellings and 620 Chinese dwellings; the plans of 634 new buildings and of 772 alterations to existing buildings have passed through my hands during the past year, with a view to seeing that they complied strictly with the Public Health Ordinances of the Colony. I am thus enabled also to keep the Inspectors of Nuisances well informed as to any proposed alterations to buildings in their respective districts.
718
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
CLIMATE.
The average monthly temperature throughout the year has been 71.9° F as compared with 72.2° F during 1898; the maximum monthly temperature was attained in July, as in former years when it reached 82.9° F and the minimum monthly temperature was recorded in the month of January, being 59.0° F.
The highest recorded temperature during the year was 92.9° F on August 4th and the lowest was 43.6° F on January 3rd.
The total rainfall for the year was 72.7 inches as compared with 57.025 inches in 1898 and 100.03 inches in 1897; the wettest months were August with 19.98 inches and June with 18.975 inches, and the driest was January with 0.185 inch.
The greatest amount of rain which fell on any one day was 5.22 inches on August 23rd while no rain fell on 237 days of the year; the relative humidity of the atmosphere throughout the year was 75 per cent, being lowest in November when it was 62 per cent and highest in August when it was 85 per cent. The average daily amount of sunshine throughout the year was 5.67 hours and on 34 days only was no sunshine recorded.
These figures have been calculated from the monthly Reports issued by the Director of the Hongkong Observatory; the temperatures are taken at 108 feet above mean sea-level and at 4 feet above the grass.
GENERAL SANITARY CONDITION.
Some progress has been made during the past year towards the improvement of the general sanitary condition of the Colony, but the greatest event of the year has been the passing, on November 28th, of the Insanitary Properties Ordinance, 1899, some sections of which came into force on March 1st, 1900, others on June 1st, 1900, while others again became operative on the passing of the Ordi- nance. By the provisions of this Ordinance every domestic building hereafter erected must have an open space in the rear proportionate to the depth of the house, and varying from about 110 square feet to about 200 square feet in area, while every existing domestic building must be provided with an open space of not less than 50 square feet, in the rear, and thus for the first time in the history of sanitary legislation in this Colony, the erection of that most unhealthy type of dwellings-the back-to-back houses-is definitely prohibited. This Ordinance also deals with such matters as the construction of cubicles and mezzanine floors and the making up of private streets and lanes and also enacts that "no building erected on land acquired from the Crown after the passing of this Ordinance shall exceed in height one and a half times the width of the street upon which such building fronts," but as almost all the land in the City of Victoria (except that in the resumed area of Taiping- shan) has already passed out of the hands of the Crown, I am afraid that this will have little
very effect in abating the mischief which is caused by the excessive height of buildings, and by the various defects in the existing scale, which permit the owners of private streets, and of the land abutting on Crown streets, the width of which may exceed 15 feet by an inch or two to erect buildings of a height of 40 feet fronting thereon, and which permit the owners of land abutting on a street which barely exceeds 20 feet in width to erect thereon buildings of a height of 45 feet and then further to obstruct more than half the width of such street with verandahs and balconies. The result of this is that, except in the widest main streets such as Queen's Road and the Praya the ground-floor rooms of almost all Chinese houses are so dark as to be barely habitable, and although the new Ordinance prohibits the erection of cubicles in all ground-floor rooms, yet I fear that this will not effect the desired remedy and there is little doubt that further legislation will be necessary at no distant date to curtail the present excessive height of buildings especially in the crowded districts of the City of Victoria.
The need for additional public latrines and urinals is becoming more and more urgent every year, and yet no addition has been made during 1899 to the number of such conveniences, either in the city or elsewhere in the Colony. One small public latrine has, it is true, been erected at the south end of Ship Street, Wanchai, but merely to replace a private latrine a few yards distant and which was to have been demolished at the end of the year. The old wooden latrine with two seats on Leighton's Hill Road has also been replaced by an iron structure with six seats but there are still only 29 latrines throughout the entire city, with but 689 seats for a Chinese male population of almost 120,000. Moreover, only 12 of these latrines have been erected by the Government, the remainder being privately owned, and therefore not free. Again there are only three public urinals throughout the entire city, so that it is little wonder that every back lane and every storm-water gully is more or less used as a urinal by coolies, with the result that complaints are constant from householders and merchants as to the offensive smells arising from these places.
The water-supply of the Colony again proved deficient during the year, and a service varying from one to four hours only was allowed to the city for a period of eight weeks during the months of April to June, while in Kowloon peninsula an intermittent supply only could be maintained from January 7th until May 8th (four months).
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
719
It is clear therefore that the water-supply generally is inadequate for the needs of the population, and in view of the steady increase in the population, I am more than ever convinced that there should be no further delay in setting up the necessary pumping plant and in providing reservoirs and service. pipes for the supply of sea-water for all municipal purposes. unless a greatly increased fresh-water supply can be obtained at a less cost than that which would be incurred by the installation of such plant. There can surely be no reason in depriving the community of an ample supply of good potable water (and the purity of our water-supply is above question) in order to use it for the flushing of sewers, urinals, etc., for the watering of the streets and for the extinction of fires, for all of which purposes sea-water is generally admitted to be far more effective than fresh.
The following table shows how uncertain has been the rainfall during the past twenty years :-

POPULATION.
The population of the Colony at the Census taken in 1891 was found to be 221,441 and at the census taken in 1897 it was 248,880.
The following is the estimated population to the middle of 1899 :-

The total strength of troops in Garrison on June 30th, 1899, was 82 British officers and 1,651 British Warrant Officers, N. C. O.'s and men, with 21 Indian Officers and 1,344 Indian Warrant Officers, N. C. O.'s and men, making a total of 3,098 as compared with 2,781 in 1898, and 2,577 in 1897. There were in addition 89 British women and 148 British children and also 82 Asiatic women and 103 Asiatic children on the strength.
The total strength of the British Fleet on the China Station, on June 30th, 1899, was In 1898 there were 7,373 British Officers and men, 364 Chinese servants and 1 Japanese servant. 7,497 British Officers and men on the Station. 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 1899 is put at 3,385.
720
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
The Chinese boat population of the Colony has been estimated to the middle of the year to have been 34,700; this figure cannot, however, be relied upon as necessarily accurate, for owing to an error in the census returns for 1891 pointed out in my Annual Report for last year, a correct basis for calculating this population is wanting. It would appear, however, that there has been a steady increase in the floating population and at the census taken in 1897 it was found to number 33,275.
The number of registered boats belonging to the Port in 1899 was as follows:
Fishing and Trading Junks,
Cargo-boats, Lighters, Sampans, etc.,
Total,
The number of boats licensed in 1898 was 10,150, and in 1897 was 9,954.
6,405
4,480
10.885
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 13,060 of whom 6,155 are civilians and the remainder belong to the Army or the Navy. The coloured races number 2,760 and comprise East Indians, Malays, Filipinos and a few Africans.
The white civilian population was shown at the 1897 census to consist of 2,374 British, 2.276 Portuguese, and a sprinkling of Americans, Germans, French, and other Europeans.
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 more than half the population (55.9 per cent. of the Chinese and 52.6 per cent. of the Non-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 an Inspector of Nuisances in charge of each district; there are also five First Class Inspectors of Nuisances, each of whom has the general supervision of two districts and has in addition certain special duties such as the disinfection of infected premises, the prosecution of offenders, the upkeep of the dust-boats, dust-carts, etc., and the control of the Chinese cemeteries.

There are also some 1,700 Chinese servants, etc. resident at the Peak.
From this table it will be seen that Nos. 5 and 6 Health Districts which are situated in the centre of the city show acute surface crowding while Districts 7, 9, 4, and 8 are almost as densely crowded. Owing to the conformation of the island the only possible remedy for this acute congestion is the provision of more ready means of access to the outlying districts of the city, and it is to be hoped that the Government will see their way, at no distant date, to provide tramways to East Point and the Shaukiwan Road with nominal fares for workmen, thus offering an inducement to the Chinese to reside in these suburbs.
The density of population of the City of Victoria as a whole, that is to say, including all the outlying vacant lands and the villages in No. 1 Health District, the Public Gardens in No. 3 Health District, and all the unoccupied hill-side below the city limit of about 450 feet above high-water mark, is 122 persons per acre. In 1889 the average density of population in the administrative County of London was 49 persons per acre.
BIRTHS.
The births registered during the year were as follows:-

This is equal to a general birth-rate of 4.3 per 1,000 as compared with 4.7 per 1,000 during 1898 and 5 5 per 1,000 during 1897. The birth-rate among the Non-Chinese community alone was 17.7 per 1,000 as compared with 15.9 per 1,000 during 1898 and 17.7 per 1,000 during 1897, so that the deficiency in the birth-rate has been among the Chinese community only. The nationalities of the Non-Chinese parents were as follows :--British 113, Portuguese 81, Indian 64, German 10. Japanese 7, Malays and Filipinos 5. The remarkable preponderance of male births over female births among the Non-Chinese population has not been so pronounced during the past year as in 1898, but it still stands at 113 to 100, as compared with 136 to 100 during 1898 (128 to 100 among the white population only) and 104 only to 100 in Great Britain.
The number of Chinese births registered does not, however, give an accurate record of the num- ber 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 neces- sary burial orders. It has been 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 1899 was 251 males and 398 females, making a total
722
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
of 649, and the addition of these figures to the registered Chinese births gives a total of 1,501 births for the year.
This is equal to a birth-rate of 6.2 per 1,000 among the Chinese population only, while the general birth-rate thus becomes 6 8 per 1,000.
The proportion of male births to female births among the Chinese population was as 111 to 100, as compared with 117 to 100 during the previous year.
DEATHS.
The total number of deaths registered during the year was 6,181, as compared with 5,674 during 1898 and 4,688 during 1897. The death-rate for 1899 was therefore 23.8 per 1,000 as compared with 22.3 per 1,000 during the preceding year, and an average of 23.6 per 1,000 during the previous five years.
These deaths include no less than 1,434 from Bubonic Fever (Plague).
The following table gives the death-rates during the past twenty years, inclusive and exclusive of deaths from Bubonic Plague, and exclusive also of the Military and Navy populations and deaths, as until the last five years these latter populations were not ascertained :--

The deaths registered among the Non-Chinese community numbered 240 of which 200 were from the Civil population (including 21 deaths from Bubonic Fever), 35 from the Army and 5 from the Navy.
The nationalities of these deaths was as follows :-British and American 88, German S, French 7, Norwegian 4, Austrian 1, Italian 1; Portuguese 53; Indian 53; Japanese 16; Malays and Filipinos 9. The total death-rate among the white races was therefore 12.4 per 1,000 as compared with 16.2 per 1,000 in 1898, and among the coloured races it was 28.3 per 1,000 as compared with 33.6 per 1,000 in the previous year.

There is a considerable reduction in the death-rate from Malarial diseases as compared with the previous year, but this rate is still high, especially when it is noted that only one death occurred among the European-born civilian population from Malarial Fever, while five deaths occurred among the British soldiers (the other man bring a private of the Hongkong Regiment and hence an Asiatic), and yet the European-born civilians number more than twice as many as the British-born troops.
The death from Bubonic Fever was not incurred in the execution of Plague duty, but infection must have been contracted by the man (a Fusilier) in some Chinese house of entertainment.
The five deaths occurring in the China Squadron which were registered in this Colony during the year were as follows :--
Small-pox (H.M.S. Undaunted),
Heart disease (H.M.S. Centurion),

The death from Bubonic Fever occurred in a Portuguese watchman employed on board the Canton steamer Powan. Two of the deaths from Beri-Beri were in Indians and the third was a Japanese.
The total number of deaths therefore which occurred among the Non-Chinese resident civil community was 159 during the preceding year; allowing 455 for the Non-Chinese floating popu- lation, this is equal to a death-rate of 18.8 per 1,000.

UNCERTIFIED DEATHS.
During the year there were 463 deaths of Chinese who were not attended by a medical man, as compared with 641 during the previous year, and in every case the relatives of the deceased have been interviewed and the dead bodies inspected, with the result that no less than 78 deaths from Bubonic Fever (Plague) were thus discovered and the premises disinfected and cleansed, in the usual
course.
724
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
This work of inspection of dead bodies could well be done by a Chinese doctor trained in Western medicine, as I have suggested in previous Annual Reports, while there are many other functions, especially in the direction of the intelligent propagation of our sanitary laws among the Chinese, which such an officer could perform with great advantage to the sanitary welfare of the Colony.
AGE DISTRIBUTION OF DEATHS.
The death-rate among the infant population is still most alarmingly high, for no less than 21.2 The infant death-rate per cent. of the total deaths occurred in infants under one year of age. among the Non-Chinese community during the year has been 128 per 1,000 as compared with 139.9 during 1898 and 120 during 1897.

CHEST DISEASES.
age
of 5 years.
The total number of deaths among the Chinese from respiratory diseases was 1,149 or 19.3 per cent. of the total deaths as compared with 1,221 deaths or 22.6 per cent. during the previous year. This represents a death-rate from these diseases of 4.7 per 1,000 as compared with 5.1 during 1898.
As in former years the death-rate from these causes was far heavier among the boat population than among the land population, being 6.4 per 1,000 among the former and 4.4 per 1,000 among the latter. No less than 61.5 per cent. of these deaths are from Phthisis, which disease is intimately associated with overcrowded and insanitary dwellings.
NERVOUS DISEASES.
The deaths recorded under this heading number 1,021, and no less than 709 of these or 69.4 per cent. occurred in infants under one year of age, the causes of death being Tetanus, Trismus, and allied disorders of a convulsive type. In respect of these diseases, which are induced inter alia by insanitary surroundings, the past year shows some retrograde movement, as the number of deaths from these diseases during the past five years has been as follows:--

I am inclined to think, however, that the epidemic of Bubonic Fever may be responsible for not a few of these deaths which were recorded as due to convulsions, for it is no doubt quite possible to overlook the evidences of Bubonic Fever in infants of such tender age. That the disease may occur in infants is shown by the fact that during the past year 15 infants of less than one month old, and 20 infants between the ages of 1 and 12 months proved on post-mortem examination to have died of Bubonic Fever. Almost the whole of the infants whose deaths are recorded as due to these convulsive diseases are left at one or other of the various Convents, in a moribund condition, and are interred without post-mortem examination.
MALARIAL DISEASES.
The total number of deaths among the Chinese from Malarial Diseases was 532 as compared with 506 during the previous year; this is equal to a death-rate from this cause alone of 2.19 per 1,000. The death-rate among the boat population alone from this cause was 1.8 per 1,000, being less than the mortality among the land population, which is contrary to what has obtained in former years.
There were 197 deaths from Beri-Beri during the year, which number is somewhat in excess of the average for former years.
The increase occurred during the latter end of the year, and although not amounting to an epidemic gave cause for grave anxiety for a time. The following table shows the numbers of deaths that occurred among the Chinese during each month of the year :

The poorest quarters of the city were most affected with the disease and deaths occurred in new as well as in old houses, and in houses fronting wide streets as well as in those in narrow lanes, while several deaths occurred in matsheds put up for the temporary accommodation of workmen engaged in building operations.
In the Appendix will be found the addresses of all those Chinese who died from this discase during the year (other than imported cases or those occurring on boats in the Harbour) and from this table it will be seen that in no case did a second death occur in any house, although no disinfection of the premises was attempted.
A small outbreak of a disease which was considered to be Beri-Beri occurred, at the latter end of the year, in the Berlin Foundling Home. The following is a brief account of the outbreak.
It was stated that the Blind Home, a one-story building, which contained about sixteen blind Chinese children, had had cases of Beri-Beri since July, and that the children from the Blind Home This latter house contained 102 children attended divine worship at the Berlin Foundling House.
and girls up to the age of 16 or 17 years; and at the latter end of November, two of the young children, both of whom were being surgically dressed-one for an affection of the eyes and the other for some skin affection-developed symptoms of Beri-Beri. Within a couple of days fifty to sixty other children were attacked with similar symptoms. On December 7th 69 school-children, all of whom were suffering from this disease, with six big girls (who were in good health) to assist in look- ing after them, were sent to Macao, leaving 27 healthy children in the house. Two of the children died in Macao shortly after their arrival there, but the remainder rapidly improved in health.
The main symptoms in these cases were dropsy and marked heart weakness, with in some cases a staggering gait and loss of reflex, but no marked evidences of paralysis, and it was suggested that the disease might be Epidemic Dropsy, but as many of the characteristic symptoms of this latter disease, notably the rash, the continued fever and the evidences of intestinal irritation were also absent, it seemed more reasonable to suppose that the outbreak was one of Beri-Beri, especially as two or three of the patients who were seen by various medical men in the Colony were undoubtedly suffering from Beri-Beri.
The children who were attacked were all between the ages of 4 and 7 years and all of them slept in a series of adjacent ground floor rooms. These rooms are thoroughly well lit and ventilated and have close-boarded floors which are painted. Some children who slept on ground floor rooms in another part of the building were not attacked nor were any of the girls who slept upstairs. No European cases of the disease occurred.
The children's dietary was a most generous one comprising rice, eggs, fish (fresh and salt on alternate days), meat (beef or pork) at every evening meal and thrice a week with the morning meal.
726
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19?m MAY, 1900.
The special points about the outbreak seem to be the unusually early age of the patients (all between four and seven years), the absence of overcrowding, the abundant lighting and ventilation of the premises and the liberal dietary.
The 27 healthy children left in the House continued in good health after the removal of the sick children to Macao.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

Of the 151 cases, other than Bubonic Fever, no less than 55 are known to have been imported while, in not a few cases, it was impossible to discover whence they had come, as the disease was not discovered until the patients had died and the bodies been deserted by the other occupants of the house. Twenty-six of the imported cases were Small-pox, twenty-eight were Enteric Fever, and one was Diphtheria.
There is still no systematic medical inspection of vessels immediately on arrival in the Port and 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.
BUBONIC FEVER.
The total number of cases of Bubonic Fever reported during the year was 1,486 and the total number of deaths was 1,428; this is equal to a case mortality of 96.1 per cent, as compared with a mortality of 88.2 per cent in 1898, and 89.5 per cent in 1896. I am inclined to think, however, that this increased mortality is more apparent than real, and that it was occasioned by the fact that a larger number of cases were able to escape from the Colony than in former years, owing to the temporary depletion of the Police service to meet the needs of the New Territory. The result of this was that only the moribund cases and the dead bodies were detected, while most of those who had any chance of recovery managed to make good their escape to Chinese territory. This view is borne out by the fact that while during 1898 thirty-six per cent. of the cases reported were bodies found in the streets, etc., during 1899 forty per cent. were bodies so found.
The nationalities of the patients were as follows:
Chinese,.
European (not including Portuguese),.
Other Non-Chinese,
..1,455

24
Of the deaths from this disease, two were British, one German, one Austrian, eight Indian, seven Portuguese, two Japanese and the remainder, 1,407, Chinese. The mortality therefore amongst the non-Chinese alone was 67.7 per cent, as compared with 65.3 per cent. in 1898.
The same measures were adopted in dealing with the outbreak as had been used in former years, namely :-(1) the removal of the sick to Hospital and of the dead to the Public Mortuary, (2) the detention of persons who had been in contact with the sick, pending the disinfection of the bedding and clothing, (3) the cleansing and disinfection of the infected premises, including a special house to
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19?u MAY, 1900.
727
house cleansing and disinfection throughout No. 9 Health District in which the outbreak was most severe, and (4) the disinfection of all the public latrines by means of Chloride of Lime. The work was, however, greatly hampered by the inability of the Police to render any assistance this year, as they had done in former epidemics, and the impossibility of obtaining reliable assistance from other quarters. In addition to the above measures an attempt was made to reduce the number of rats in the city by employing Chinese and furnishing them with traps and bait, but only some 1,000 rats were destroyed in this manner.
In Appendix B will be found the addresses of all cases found in domestic buildings; the total number of such buildings was as follows:---

SMALL-POX.
This disease was more or less in evidence throughout the year, although only 69 cases were reported, as compared with 199 cases during the previous year. The number of deaths from Small- pox was 35, three of which were among the Non-Chinese community-one in the British Navy, one in the Mercantile Marine, and one in the Civil Community. The nationalities of the patients were as Three cases oc- follows:-Chinese 43, European (including Portuguese) 17,. Filipino 6, Indian 3. curred on board II.M.S. Undaunted, the infection having been contracted at Wei-hai-wei. No cases occurred among the troops stationed here, and it would appear, from the statistics of recent years, that they are better protected by vaccination than are the blue-jackets.
In 1897 I recommended 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 and thereby reducing the mortality from this disease. The scheme was specially recommended by the Sanitary Board, by resolution in August, 1898, but has, I regret to say, not yet been given effect to.
The total number of vaccinations recorded last year was 6,529 as compared with 7,051 during 1898, being a decrease of 522. This can hardly be regarded as satisfactory, in view of the fact that there has been an increase of nearly 5,000 to the population.

ENTERIC FEVER.
Fifty-nine cases of Enteric Fever were reported during the year, as compared with 52 in 1898, but 28 of these cases were imported, as compared with fourteen imported cases in the former year, so that there has been a slight reduction in the number of local cases of this disease.

The nationalities of the cases were as follows:-European 36, of which 22 were imported, Chinese 17, of which two were imported, Japanese 4 (all imported), and Indian 2. The average age of the European cases was 25 years, while seven of the Chinese cases were under ten years of age, 5 of them being under five years old.
Ten cases occurred on board the various British and foreign men-of-war in the Harbour as follows:-H.M.S. Rattler 1, H.M.S. Daphne 1, H.I.G.M.S. Gefion 2, H.I.G.M.S. Hertha 1, H.I.G.M.S. Moeue 1, H.I.I.M.S. Carlo Alberto 2, U.S.S. Bennington 2. No cases occurred among the troops.
The total number of deaths from this disease was 27, 11 being non-Chinese. This is equal to a case-mortality of 45.7 per cent. There were seven deaths among Europeans, which is equal to a case- mortality of 19.4 per cent, which is much the same as the mortality of this disease in England.
DIPHTHERIA.
Nine cases of Diphtheria were reported during the year, as compared with 5 cases during the year 1898; 6 of the cases occurred in Chinese, and 3 in Europeans, 1 of the latter being a Sister at the Government Civil Hospital. One of the Chinese cases was imported from Canton but the remaining 8 cases developed locally. The European cases all recovered, but 4 deaths occurred among the Chinese.
PUERPERAL FEVER.
Twelve cases of Puerperal Fever were reported during the year, but it is to be presumed that more than twelve cases actually occurred as 12 deaths were also registered as due to this disease. Ten of the cases were Chinese, 1 a Portuguese and 1 an Indian, while 11 of the deaths were among Chinese, the remaining death being in an Indian. In addition to the above 12 deaths, there were no less than 29 deaths registered as due to child-birth among the Chinese, and no doubt many of these were cases of Puerperal infection, and in view of the low birth-rate among the Chinese in this Colony, it is apparent that there is a very heavy mortality among Chinese parturient women, duc, there can be little doubt, to the insanitary conditions under which they live. In my Annual Report for 1898 I pointed out the great need for some Maternity Charity among the Chinese in this Colony, and I am glad to be able to state that the Tung Wah Hospital has taken up the suggestion, and proposes to provide some maternity wards in its new extension, and if these are made available for the poorest classes, we may hope to see a considerable reduction in the mortality of Chinese women from child- birth.
SCARLET FEVER.
Two European cases of Scarlet Fever occurred on board H.M.S. Powerful early in the year, the infection having apparently been brought out from home by some midshipmen who had recently reco- vered from this disease. The disease is comparatively unknown in this Colony, as it does not appear to occur among the Chinese.
CHICKEN-POX.
This is not a notifiable disease, but a somewhat extensive outbreak of Chicken-pox occurred in the spring of the year and one death, in a European child, was registered as due to Broncho-pneumonia following this disease.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
Inspector REIDIE, who has been in charge of the machinery since the retirement of Inspector GRIMBLE, reports that the boiler and jacket are in fair working order, but that the boiler will need to be thoroughly overhauled and surveyed when it is removed to the new building which is now being erected below the Caine Road.
The apparatus was in use on 259 days of the
year.
STAFF.
Early in the year the staff was re-organized by the classification of the Inspectors of Nuisances into three grades, namely :---First, Second and Third Class, and by the addition of five Inspectors, while the retirement of the Senior Inspector, Mr. J. R. GERMAIN, who had been on leave for more than two years, enabled the Government to obtain the services of a well qualified Chief Inspector from England.
One of the First Class Inspectors (Inspector REIDIE) whose special duty it was to disinfect and cleanse all plague-infected houses, unfortunately contracted this disease, but I am glad to state that he made a good recovery, and will shortly proceed to England on leave; otherwise the health of the staff has been good during the year, and a large amount of good work has been done, outside the specially onerous duties which an extensive outbreak of Bubonic Fever necessarily throws upon all the officers of the Board.
During the year Inspectors CLERIHEw, Grimble, MCDONALD, and PHILLIPS have left the service, the two former retiring on pension by reason of age and ill-health.
The following is a list of the Inspectors of Nuisances in the employ of the Board at the end of the year:-

SIR, I have the honour, to forward herewith my annual report for the year 1899.
NEW HOUSE DRAINS.
1. Plans have been deposited and passed by me during the year for the drainage of 416 houses. The plans of 463 houses were carried forward from 1898, making a total of 879 in hand during the
year.
2. The drainage of 395 has been completed and the plans for 25 houses have been cancelled during the year, leaving 464 carried forward to 1900.
3. In addition to the above, notices for repairs or additions to the drainage arrangements of 89 houses were carried forward from 1898 and new notices for 566 were received, making a total of 655 for the year.
Of these, 459 have been completed, 13 have been cancelled, leaving 183 to be carried forward to 1900.
4. A summary of the above is appended in tables A. B. and C.
INSPECTION OF PRIVATE DRAINS.
5. The drains of 1,070 houses have been inspected. Of this number, 50 required re-constructing, 450 amending, and 570 were found to be in order.
Notices have been served on the owners of 500 houses to carry out the necessary work. Of this number, 324 have been complied with: 60 houses were the property of an owner, lately deceased and in consequence of his death the drainage has been delayed, and the remainder are due for completion by the end of this month. Subsoil water was found in 87 houses and notices were served on the owners to provide adequate subsoil drainage.
adequate subsoil drainage. This has been carried out in each case.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
Colonial Veterinary Surgeon's Report for the year 1899.
SANITARY BOARD OFFICES,
HONGKONG, 10th March, 1900.
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, 1899.
REPORT.
IMPORTATION OF LIVE STOCK.
The epidemic of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the adjacent provinces, which was mentioned in my Annual Report for 1898, appears to have now run its course and died out.
During the greater part of the year Rinderpest or Cattle Plague was epidemic in the provinces of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si, and killed off large numbers of animals, causing a scarcity amongst them and higher prices: the supply in many instances being only just equal to the demand. Out- breaks of Rinderpest also occurred in several of the Hongkong Dairies, this being referred to in detail under the heading of "Dairies."
I am of opinion that the chief source of infection in these outbreaks was due to straw which was brought from infected districts in the Extension, which is a further argument in favour of dealing with all such epidemics in the New Territory.
Piracy in Chinese Waters.-Much loss has been recently sustained by Hongkong cattle dealers and butchers through piracies of cattle upon the West and North Rivers. In several instances whole junk loads of cattle have been seized and carried off by pirates, without any chance of redress to the unfortunate owners. In fact the importation of animals from Linchow, whence many of the best cattle come, has been recently stopped altogether for this reason.
All this necessarily tends to increased prices in the Hongkong markets, and the uncertainty of our supplies from these sources is another strong reason why the development of cattle-breeding in our own territory should be encouraged as much as possible.
The Extension.-There is ample scope in the New Territory for much to be done in the way of promoting the breeding of cattle and swine. With a little encouragement and assistance from the Government, and under proper and constant supervision with the view of preventing or mitigating infectious or contagious animal diseases, the Extension should in a very short time produce sufficient animals, both cattle and swine, to enable the Colony to be self-supporting in this respect, instead of being as at present almost entirely dependent upon outside sources, which might be cut off at any minute. The breeding of swine in a large way might be taken up with advantage by private indivi- duals, but this could not very well be done in the matter of cattle, there being no extensive grazing grounds in the New Territory.
Nearly the whole of this area is dotted over with small peasant holdings, so to speak, the pro- prietors of which each cultivate a few fields of rice, together with small plots of sweet potatoes. All of these people understand the rearing of cattle and they would gladly avail themselves of the oppor- tunities offered, but from conversations which I have had with many of them it appears that they are prevented from so doing by want of capital, and also want of example in making a beginning.
Once given a start, each of these small holders could easily and profitably rear one or two bullocks for the Hongkong market, and in course of time the whole of the beef supply of the Colony could so be drawn from the Extension, instead of from Kwang Tung, Kwang Si. Tonquin, and other places as at present-all of which are under foreign control.
It appears to me that the first assistance from the Government to these people might be arranged somewhat upon the following lines. Let the Government purchase a number of calves at a cost of about $10 each, and distribute them in the various districts through the head-men of the villages to deserving persons therein giving one, or at most two calves to each-these individuals being bound by agreement to raise the animals for the Hongkong market and undertaking to refund the cost price of the calf (with a small percentage added if thought advisable) to the Government upon the sale of the full grown animal.
As my experience of Chinese leads me to believe that the only successful manner of teaching them is by means of an object lesson, some such scheme (even if they could find the requisite capital) is necessary to introduce the system, and once started it would work itself. I do not see that there
is any inducement to capitalists to take up cattle-breeding in the New Territory for the reasons above mentioned, but by means of Government assistance to small holders (either by loan or otherwise) much good might result.
In order to be in a position to properly supervise the Extension, my staff should be increased by three Inspectors of Live Stock, and three Interpreters
These men should be stationed at Tai-po, Ping Shan or Un Loong, and Sai Kung or Kowloon City respectively, and should each be allowed a pony for conveyance.

Their principal duties would be to visit the whole of their districts as often as possible and investigate and report upon all outbreaks of animal disease which might come under their notice, to assist in regulating the passage of animals from place to place, to see that the carcases of all animals which died from disease were properly buried and not dressed and offered for sale as human food (which would certainly be done if there were no supervision), to attend to the segregation of all diseased animals, to encourage the breeding of cattle and swine as much as possible, to assist in any inoculation operations which might be considered necessary, and to carry out other instructions which might be issued from time to time by the Government. Later on they would be available to supervise such markets as may be established.
As intelligent reliable men would be required to efficiently perform the above duties, their pay and rank should be at least equal to that of the 1st Class Sanitary Inspectors. These appointments should be made at once in order that no time may be lost in getting in touch with the people concerned. Given the above additions to the Veterinary Staff and a properly equipped laboratory, I am of opinion that any outbreaks of Rinderpest which might occur in the various districts, could then be promptly dealt with, and quickly stamped out with comparatively small loss, instead of being allowed to spread over the whole territory, as has hitherto been the case.
According to information gathered from the villagers in the different districts, they admit an average loss from Rinderpest of 20% amongst their cattle during the past year, and from my knowledge of the ravages made by this disease, I have no doubt that it far exceeded that amount.
ANIMAL DEPOTS.
With the exception of a few cases of Rinderpest and Foot-and-Mouth Disease, the general health of the animals housed therein during the year was good.
The total number of cattle admitted at Kennedy Town was 20,883, and at the Hung Hom depot 4,107.
come.
In the swine depot at Kennedy Town 143,735 animals were admitted.
26,231 sheep and goats were housed at the Kennedy Town Depot during the year.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
Victoria and Hung Hom.-Both these buildings will meet all requirements for some time to
Since the abolition of the Watchmen at the Kennedy Town Slaughter House on March 18th, 1899, the entire charge of these premises has devolved upon the Inspector in Charge of the Animal depots, the monopoly of slaughtering animals being again leased out to a Chinese Contractor.
As I mentioned in my Annual Report for the year 1898, there is no doubt whatever in my own mind that in order to maintain a complete check upon the main source of the meat supply of the Colony, this slaughter house to be properly and efficiently managed should be under the immediate control of the Government, and not farmed out to a private individual.
Shaukiwan and Aberdeen.-No proper slaughter house has yet been provided for either of these two places, 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.'
""
I first drew the attention of the Board to this matter as far back as 1890 in my Annual Report. The question of establishing slaughter houses in various parts of the New Territory will have to be considered by the Government at no very distant date, although there does not appear to be any immediate pressing necessity.
The total number of animals slaughtered at Kennedy Town, Hung Hom, Shaukiwan, and Aber- deen for the year ending December 31st, 1899, was as follows:

In order to show the large increase in the annual number of animals slaughterel, 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.

On January 7th a butcher and coolie were charged by Inspector WATSON at the Police Court with passing into the Hung Hom slaughter house two cattle which were unfit for slaughter, and which bore
a counterfeit brand.
The prisoners were convicted and sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.
In connection with this case on January 19th PANG KIM CHOW, shroff at the Kowloon Cattle Depot was convicted under section 4 of Ordinance 12 of 1894, at the Police Court, with marking cattle with a false stamp, and was sentenced to six months' hard labour.
Much credit is due to Inspector WATSON for the able manner in which he worked up this case, which was rendered more difficult than usual on account of the shroff's duplicity.
On January 18th two butchers were tried at the Supreme Court under the Bribery Ordinance with attempting to bribe Inspector COTTON to pass a sick sheep as fit for slaughter into the City Slaughter House.
Both the men were convicted and sentenced to six months' hard labour.
DAIRIES.
During the year outbreaks of Rinderpest occurred amongst the cattle in the three principal Dairy Farms of the Colony.
On March 10th the discase first broke out amongst some cows the property of Mr. J. KENNEDY, which were housed at Nos. 1 and 3 Kennedy Street, Wanchai.
From this place it spread to the same owner's premises at Causeway Bay, and from there to an- other of his sheds at Kowloon. In all three instances 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.
Ninety-eight (98) animals were destroyed, and compensation to the amount of $14,001 paid. On May 10th an outbreak of Rinderpest occurred at the premises of the East Point Dairy Farm. The same steps were taken by the Board; 52 animals being destroyed, and $7,260 paid as compen-
sation.
On September 26th Rinderpest broke out at the headquarter premises of the Dairy Farm Com- pany at Pokfulum.
In this case, having to hand the necessary animals and appliances, I adopted the serum treatment with marked success, and succeeded in stamping out the disease with comparatively small loss.
On December 7th the discase appeared at the Sassoon Villa premises at Pokfulum, also occupied by the Dairy Farm Company. I here further tested the same treatment, and put a stop to the epidemic with the small loss to the Company of only 2 cows and 5 small calves.
In both the latter cases the premises were proclaimed infected areas by the Board.
On May 11th the Board decided to refuse to license, or to renew existing licences for any cattle sheds in the City to the westward of the stream in the Sokonpoo Valley, which has its outlet in the angle of Causeway Bay, after January 1st, 1900.
This decision gives effect to a recommendation made by me as far back as 1889, and last referred to in my Annual Report for the year 1898.
MARKETS.
In previous reports, I have from time to time pointed out the urgent necessity of providing in- creased market accommodation, but as yet without any result.
I therefore proceed to give a few figures which I think should go far to further substantiate my reasons for so doing.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.
771
In 1858, the Central, Western, Eastern, Taipingshan, Wanchai, and Sokonpoo Markets were
erected.
To these were added the increased accommodation of 9. increase of 41 stalls, or a total &
s of Saiyingpoon in 1864, and of Shektongsui in 1875-being an the re-building of the Central Market in 1895 giving a further 9 more than in 1859.
But during this period--from 1859 to 1899--the Eastern and Taipingshan Markets of 68 and 74 stalls respectively, were demolished, thus showing a loss of 3 stalls to the total market accommodation of the City of Victoria during the last forty years: although in that time the population has increased from 49,730 in 1859, to 168,260 in 1899, and the revenue from markets from $26,677.50 to $80,901.38.
In a letter to the Board dated December 20th, 1899, I pointed out the necessity of a market for the wholesale and retail dealers in poultry and fresh fish, recommending that a site be retained for this purpose on the Praya Reclamation in front of the present Central Market.
The proposal was adopted and forwarded to the Government.
Hurkers.--Consequent upon the crowded state of the markets, and the increased demand, the number of so-called hawkers of vegetables has been largely augmented, especially during the past ten years, so much so that many of the bye-streets of the City are often blocked up completely by them.
These people, who are not hawkers in any sense of the word, simply take up a fixed position where they are least likely to be interfered with by the Police and remain in the same spot until they have sold off al! their wares, disposing of the refuse therefrom by stuffing it down the nearest drain, and returning next day to repeat the process.
From the decomposition of this vegetable matter gases arise which may become, under certain conditions, highly injurious to public health.
These men never have hawked, and never will hawk, their goods in the accepted term of the word, and in my opinion not one of them should be licensed for this purpose in the City of Victoria.
So long as the present state of things exists, were the staffs of the Director of Public Works and the Medical Officer of Health doubled or trebled they could not deal with the subject effectually or prevent the emanation of foul gases which arise from the sewers all over the City, and which are often put down by many as being due to an inefficient drainage system, when all the time much of it is caused by this decaying vegetable matter which has been thrust down the drain in the manner above described.
I have no hesitation whatever in saying that such refuse in conjunction with ordinary sewage which gets stopped by it on its course to the sea, forms a nidus or breeding ground for all kinds of noxious germs, and may be the cause in a great measure of the frequent cases of typhoid fever which have become so common of late years, the bacillus both of typhoid and plague multiplying rapidly
in such media.
Food Stuff's.-During the past five years the price of all food has been gradually advancing until at the present time nearly every article consumed by both Europeans and natives shows an increase of at least 100% and in a few instances much more.
The present high price of provisions may be partly due to the high rents which are paid by many stall-holders in the various markets. For instance in the Western Market two stall-holders pay $75. and $47.50 respectively per month for two beef stalls, the dimensions of which are only 6' by 3'. A pork butcher in the same market also pays $70, a month for a stall of similar dimensions.
Many of the shops and stalls in the other markets are rented in a like proportion. Although I believe the cost of erecting the Western Market in the first instance did not exceed $9,437.12, yet during last year, the revenue derived from its stall rents amounted to no less than $23,465.64.
Central Markt.-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 September 7th, 1898, and also mentioned in my Annual Report of last year.
There is a large unsatisfied demand for vegetable stalls in this market.
Western Market. --The building is an old insanitary structure, does not at all meet present re- quirements, and is altogether unfitted to be used as a public market.
On pointing this out in my Annual Report for 1890, I recommended that it be re-constructed and extended upon its present site. A Committee of the Board considered the question, and in a report dated May 19th, 1891, they adopted my recommendation and forwarded it to the Government, but nothing, however, has yet been done.
Saiyingpeon Market--Might be re-built and extended to double its present size with advantage. Wanchai Market.-The same remarks apply in this case.
Sharkiwan Market--Is too small, and as far back as 1889 I recommedel that additional stalls be added.
Sokonpoo, Sheltongsui, Hung Hom, Yaumati and Tai-kok-tsui Markets-Meet all present require-
ments.

Inspector's Quarters at Kennedy Town.-Since its erection in 1895, I regret to state that the bungalow provided for the Inspector in charge of the Animal Depots has proved very unhealthy, and although the Board, acting on the advice of the Medical Officer of Health, recommended the Govern- ment in a letter dated October 13th, 1899, to improve it by the addition of an upper storey, their suggestion was not adopted, although it is generally accepted that sleeping rooms upon the ground floor in malarial districts are more conducive to fever and similar tropical diseases.
As the duties of this office are very trying during the hot months of the year, I think it is at least due to the Inspector in charge that he should be housed as comfortably as circumstances will permit.
Salaries of Inspectors.-Previous to January 1st, 1899, the Inspector in charge of the Animal Depots, and the Inspector of Markets had always ranked with the Sanitary Inspectors, but since then the pay of five of these officers has been increased from $720 to $960 by $48 yearly- to $1,200 rising to $1,368 by $56 yearly-while that of Inspectors WATSON and COTTON has remained as before. Hence through no fault of their own, both these officers have lost a step in rank, although the duties performed by them involve even a greater responsibility than do those of the above named five 1st Class Inspectors, Mr. WATSON being in charge of premises which bring in an annual revenue of over $53,000 per annum, and Mr. COTTON controlling markets which last year returned a rental of more than $80,000.
I may further point out that the salary of the Inspector in Charge of the Animal Depots was $1,200 per annum when that of the Sanitary Inspectors was only $960-he receiving the same as the Senior Sanitary Inspector-but now the pay of that Officer has been increased from $1,200 to $1,800 rising to $2,400 by $120 yearly, although nothing has been added to that of the Inspector in Charge of the Animal Depots.
After considering the report of a sub-committee consisting of the Hon. F. H. MAY, C.M.G., and Mr. OSBORNE, the Board in a letter to the Government dated 2nd December, 1898, recommended that upon the abolition of the watchmen at the Animal Depot and Slaughter House at Kennedy Town, part of their lapsed pay should be devoted to increasing the salaries of the Inspector in Charge of the Animal Depots, and the Inspector of Markets to $120 per month each, bat although the watchmen were dispensed with upon March 19th, 1899, the increase has so far not been granted by the Govern- ment to the two Inspectors.
From the above facts, I think it is clearly shown that both these Inspectors should at least be made equal in the matter of salary to the 1st Class Sanitary Inspectors.
Mr. JOHANNSEN is to be commended for the smart and cleanly condition in which he has kept the Central Market throughout the year-especially when it is known that the market staff of coolies has been considerably undermanned during the greater part of the time.
Mr. C. P. DA SILVA was appointed Interpreter on June 1st and has performed his duties satis- factorily.
Market Coolies.-These coolies are still underpaid, and consequently I experience great difficulty in obtaining suitable men, good ones simply engaging themselves temporarily, and then passing on to more lucrative employment outside. Thus the staff of market coolies generally consists of very in- ferior men, 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 suffers in conse-
quence.
I have repeatedly pointed out the wisdom of paying these coolies slightly above the ordinary market rate in order to obtain good men who would take an interest in their work, and remain some length of time in the Government employ, instead of joining for a week or two as at present and then leaving to better themselves.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

(2.) The Registrar General and any officer generally or specially authorized for that purpose in writing by 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.
4. Sections 3 and 9 of Ordinance No. 31 of 1899 are hereby repealed.
Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Ordinance is to make certain amend- ments in the Ordinances relating to the Protection of Women and Girls directed to be made by the Secretary of State. It seemed to me that the amendments of sections 3 and 9 of Ordinance No. 31 of 1899, so directed to be made, could be effected most conveniently and simply by repealing those sections altogether, and substituting directly, in Ordinance No. 31 of 1897, amended sections containing the amendments desired; for sections 3 and 9 of Ordinance No. 31 of 1899 were, themselves, merely sections amend- ing the Protection of Women and Girls' Ordinance, 1897, and the amendment of amending sections sometimes tends to confusion. The only actual alterations in the law effected by this Ordinance are the addition of sub-section (3) of section 2 to the previous two sub-sections, and the insertion of the words "generally or specially authorized" instead of the words "generally authorized," in the substituted section 30, set out in section 3.
All the rest of this Ordinance is simply a re-enactment of existing law.

The following Report of the Registrar General for 1899 is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th May, 1900.

F. H. MAY, Acting Colorial Secretary.
REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 7th February, 1900.
SIR,--I have the honour to make the following Report on the work of this Department for the year 1899.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
The revenue collected during the year amounted to $135,248.65 as against $127,610.73 collected in 1898. Of the total increase of $7,637.92, the sum of $6,133.30 is derived from the Markets. The latter increase comes principally from the Central, Western and Saiyingpun Markets, and is due to the increased rent obtained from stalls, which were put up to tender on being given up by their holders. $944.03 of the increase is due to the opening of a market at Taikok tsui. There are small increases under most of the other headings of revenue. The item "Certificates of Identity issued to Chinese proceeding to the United States of America," accounts for the principal decrease of $1,425. This decrease was anticipated by the Acting Registrar General, Mr. Brewin, in his report for 1898.
It is difficult to estimate in advance the revenue to be derived from this uncertain source, but it is not likely that there will be any decrease next year.
The expenditure during the year was $13,090.15 as compared with $13,128 in 1898.
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 1899 has been forwarded to you. The expenditure for the year amounted to $7,448.57, while the revenue derived from interest and sub- scriptions was $6,155.30. The large figure reached by the expenditure is accounted for by the overdraft in 1898 on the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank of $2,359.40 and which has now been reduced to $1,293.27. The increase in the revenue is due to the generosity of the guilds which subscribe to the Tung Wa Hospital. Their subscriptions amounted to $4,005.30 for last year as compared with $1,836.95 in 1898, showing an increase of $2,168.35.
The number of women and girls detained under Part II of Ordinance No. 9 of 1897 was 248 as compared with 225 in 1898. Table II A. shows what action was taken in each case, whilst Table II B. 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 missing in Hongkong was 62. Of these 26 are reported to have been found.
The number of warrants issued under section 30 of Ordinance 9 of 1897 to search "
was 536, and 49 girls were rescued.

EMIGRATION.
The number of female passengers and boys examined at the Emigration Office and allowed to proceed to their destination was 6,307 as compared with 8,497 in 1898. The number of women detained for enquiries was 49, and of these 46 were found to have been persuaded to go abroad under false pretences. Satisfactory arrangements have been made in each case to secure their welfare. During the prevalence of plague in the summer months, Chinese emigration to the Straits was prohi- bited, which accounts for the decrease in the number of persons examined.
My attention has been drawn to the fact that a large number of the women and boys, who have been found to have been kidnapped, come from the King Chau district of Kwong Tung, and it is hoped a stricter surveillance may be exercised over emigrants from the port of Hoihow. At Pakhoi, where intending emigrants have to submit to an examination by the Customs authorities, the results are most satisfactory as regards the checking of the evil practice of kidnapping.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1900.
CERTIFICATES OF IDENTITY TO CHINESE ENTERING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, &c.
Owing to the increased stringency of the regulations governing the admission of Chinese into the United States, fewer certificates of identity have been issued than last year.
Many frauds are still attempted but meet with less success than formerly, owing to the strictness of the examination in this Office. The bond for $500, which applicants were originally required to provide, was temporarily dispensed with from August to the end of the year, and has now been sus- pended indefinitely. As pointed out by the Acting Registrar General, in lis report for 1898, the bond was of no practical use, and its abolition saves a great deal of work which experience has shown to be
unnecessary.
There were some doubts as to whether the abolition of the bond would not result in a large increase in the number of undesirable applicants, but these fears have not been realised. 333 certifi- cates were issued during the year as against 506 in 1898, and 705 in 1897.
21 certificates have been issued to Chinese proceeding to Manila and Honolulu. Of this number 5 were for Manila, and the remainder for Honolulu.

810
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26ru MAY, 1900.
The contributions to the Fund for the year were $8,909.09 as compared with $8,357.76 for the preceding year. The actual expenditure was $11,510.05 as compared with $11,033.25 in 1898. The balance to the credit of the Fund is $ 7,220.05. The allowance of $2 a month, which was made to each watchman in April, 1897, on account of the high price of rice, has been continued, in considera- tion of the increased cost of living in Hongkong.
43 applications for admission into the Force were received during the year, as compared with 69 in 1898. There are numerous applicants for each vacancy that occurs.
During the outbreak of plague in the summer months 8 District Watchinen were employed on special duty at the Tung Wa Hospital.
CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.
A statement of revenue and expenditure is given in Table VII. The total expenditure for the year was $787.29, whilst the revenue obtained from the rent of the shops, letter-writers' tables, &c., was $1,209.27. There is a balance of $2,859.43 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.
A new mortuary has been erected to the West of Mount Davis on a site granted by Government in the immediate proximity of the Plague Cemetery. Compensation has been granted to the Hospital to the amount of the value of the old mortuary. The temporary matsheds, erected in 1898 by the hospital for the treatment of plague cases, were in use during the whole of the summer months. The cost of repairing these matsheds was defrayed by the Government and they are now Government property. A proposal has been made by this year's Committee to erect a permanent hos- pital for infectious diseases to take the place of these matsheds, which are in many ways unsatis- factory, and it is hoped that the proposal will be carried out.
The number of patients admitted to the Hospital during the year was 2,542 as compared with 2,898 in 1898 (Table IV E). The number of out-patients was 90,082 as compared with 90,880 in
1898.
The present buildings having been found inadequate for the growing requirements of the Chi- nese Community, the Government was approached with a view to granting a site on the resumed Taipingshan area immediately opposite the present hospital. On the recommendation of His Excel- lency the Governor, the Secretary of State sanctioned the grant of a site, and Mr. Ho TUNG, Chairman of the Committee, and his colleagues at once commenced to raise the funds necessary to erect the buildings by inviting subscriptions from the community. Their efforts were so successful that in a period of three months a sum amounting in round figures to $80,000 was subscribed, the subscribers including all members of the community regardless of race and creed-an indication that the good work carried on by the hospital is appreciated in the Colony.
On the 25th November His Excellency the Governor lail the foundation stone of the new build- ing in the presence of a large number of residents, both European and Chinese, and congratulated the Chairman and his colleagues on having succeeded in so short a time in raising such a large subscrip. tion and having brought the scheme of extension to such a successful issue. Mr. Ho TUNG, the Chairman, made a felicitous speech on the occasion, tracing the history of the hospital and giving an interesting account of the work it has done.
CHINESE THEATRES,
During the outbreak of Plague in the summer months, the Chinese theatres were closed. This step was taken on account of the risk of infection produced by the congregation of large masses of people in such a narrow space. The lessee was indemnified by Government for the losses sustained by him through the closing of the theatres.
BROTHELS.
For several years past attention has been called in the annual report of this Department to the unsatisfactory state of affairs in the Colony resulting from a want of proper control over houses of iil-fame. Complaints from the European and Chinese community on the subject have been many and numerous. An Ordinance has now been passed, No. 31 of 1899, "The Women and Girls Amendment Ordinance," conferring upon the Registrar General and Captain Superintendent of Police powers which, it is hoped, will enable those officers to check the evils regarding which complaints have been so
often made.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26?? MAY, 1900.
LEGISLATION.
811
The following are the Ordinances passed in 1899 which more particularly affect the Chinese and this Office:
No. 3 of 1899.-Sung Wong T'oi Reservation. No. 11 of 1899.-The Local Committees.
No. 12 of 1899.-New Territories Regulation.
No. 23 of 1899.-Liquor Licenses Amendment.
No. 31 of 1899.-Protection of Women and Girls Amendment.
"6
Ordinance 3 of 1899 was introduced for the purpose of preserving a sacred stone in Kowloon, called the Sung Wong Toi." This stone is a landmark of great interest, as it is reported to have been the final place of refuge of the last Emperor of the "Sung" Dynasty in his flight from his
enemies.
Ordinance 31 of 1899, among other provisions, confers upon the Registrar General and Captain Superintendent of Police the power of closing or removing any brothel at their discretion, even though it may not have been complained of by the neighbours.
Ten Ordinances were passed during the year naturalizing Chinese as British subjects.

F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.
DOWNING STREET,
6th April, 1900.
SIR,
Since my despatch No. 280 of the 8th December, 1899, was written, in which I authorised the increase of the Governor's Entertainment Allowance by $3,000 a year, my attention has been drawn to the fact that the salary of the Governor is not equivalent to the full amount of £5,000, which by the Governor's Pension Act (28 and 29 Vict. Cap. 113) is laid down as the minimum salary entitling a Governor to the highest rate of pension on retirement.
2. I have the honour to inform you that I am of opinion that a Colony occu- pying the important position of Hongkong should pay its Governor a salary equivalent to £5,000, and I have little doubt that the Legislative Council will readily agree to do so.
3. I would suggest that out of the total salary of £5,000, £800 should be regarded as an Entertainment Allowance, that being the approximate equivalent. of the present Entertainment Allowance of $8,000. The Exchange Compensation Allowance at present received by the Governor will, of course, cease to be paid.
4. I have accordingly to request that you will lay these proposals before the Legislative Council, and that you will invite the Council to vote the increased salary from the 1st January next.
5. The proposal that the Governor's salary should be reckoned in sterling and paid to him at the current rate of exchange, is intended to meet the require- ments of the Imperial Act above referred to. The same argument does not apply to the ordinary Civil Service of the Colony, whose salaries will, of course, continue to be reckoned in dollars.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
Sir HENRY A. BLAKE, G.C.M.G.,

SCHEDULE.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CARRYING OUT THE PROVISIONS OF
THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS' PENSION FUND
ORDINANCE 1900."
1. The Tables referred to in these Rules and Regulations are the Tables for calculating the pensions of widows and orphan children of public officers, referred to in Section 23.
2. The following is the mode of assessing the pensions of widows, whose husbands were contributors to the Widows', and Orphans' Pension Fund :-
FIRST WIFE'S PENSION:
A. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION PAID BY SUCH
MEMBER DURING BACHELORHOOD.
RULE: Accumulate the contribution without interest. and multiply the amount by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.
The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death, on account of his past contributions.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood, when accumulated without interest, amount to $300, and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then
$300 × 2927=$87·81-wife's pension.
NOTE:-Where the contributor has joined before the first day of June, 1900, the contributions should be accumulated up to that date with 6 per cent. compound interest.
866
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND JUNE, 1900.
B. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FUTURE ANNUAL CONTRIBU-
TIONS TO BE PAYABLE FROM THE DATE OF MARRIAGE.
C.
(a) In respect of official income receivable at the time of mar-
riage.
RULE: Multiply the annual contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.
The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death on account of his contributions in respect of the official income receivable at the time of marriage.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred to member's official income at the time of marriage be $1.000 a year, and the annual contribution be $40 (to cease at 55), and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage be 30 and 20 respectively, then
$40 × 3·188=$127·55-wife's pension.
(b) In respect of increments made to the official income after
marriage.
RULE: Mutiply the additional contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the date of the increment of official income.
The product will give the additional annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death. in respect of his additional contributions on account of an increase of his official income.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred to member's official in- come be increased by $200 a year, and the then ages of himself and wife are respectively 35 and 25. then the further pension will be
$8 x 2.781 $22·25?wife's further pension.
ASSESSMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PENSION DURING THE
TIME SUCH MEMBER IS A WIDOWER.
When such member becomes a widower, a pension is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been if then alive, such pension either remain- ing unchanged in amount from that to which the late wife was entitled, or becoming subsequently augmented or reduced in the manner provided for by the Rules, according as such member's con- tributions increase or decrease from that time through variations in his official income.
The amount so determined is to form the basis for estimating the commencing pension to which a second wife becomes entitled at the time of her marriage.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred to member becomes a widower, a pension of ($87-81 + $12755 + $22.25) $237-61 is to be supposed to attach for the bencfit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been if then alive, and the pension will continue at that amount until such member's official income (and his consequent contribution) is either increased or decreased. If a further increment of $200 official income be made when such member is aged 40 and his late wife, if then alive, would have been aged 30, then the additional amount of supposed pension would be found by Rule 2 B (b) thus:
$8 × 2:295-$18:36=wife's supposed further pension. Should such member re-marry, the amount to be used as a basis for estimating the commencing pension to which the second wife would be entitled would be either
$237-61. if no augmentation had been made to the
official income, or
$255 97. if an augmentation of $200 had been made
to the official income at age 40, as above.
NOTE: If there have been more than one wife. care must be taken to use alwa the age of the last wife.
SECOND WIFE'S PENSION.
3. A. PENSION TO WHICH A SECOND WIFE (OF SUCH MEMBER
AS ABOVE) BECOMES ENTITLED ON MARRIAGE.
(a) When the second wife at the time of marriage is of the same age as, or older than, the first wife would have been if then alive.
RULE: The pension is to commence at the amount as deter- mined by Rule 2 hereof, and to remain stationary at that amount, unless and until such member's officia! in- come be increased or decreased.
(b) When the second wife at the time of marriage is younger
than the late wife would have been if then alive.
RULE: Take the pension as determined by Rule 2 hereof, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C correspond- ing to the respective ages of the husband and that which his late wife would have reached if alive at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply the last product by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage. The final product will give the commencing annual pension to which the second wife will be entitled on her husband's death, in respect
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND JUNE, 1960.
of his official income at the time of their marriage-and this pension is to remain stationary at that amount, un- less and until such member's official income be increased or decreased.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage, the age of such member's first wife, if then alive, would have been 35, his own age is 45, and that of the second wife is 30, and if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled as found by Rule 2 hereof, is $237·61, then $237.61 × 3777 × ·2453=$220·14-second wife's com- mencing pension.
B. INCREMENTS ON THE LAST-FOUND PENSIONS.
The second wives' pensions are to be augmented as often as their husbands have an increase of official income. Such augmentations to be calculated according to the principles and in the manner described in Rule 2 B (b) hereof, always taking the ages of the husband and wife as they stand at the date of the increase of official income,
THIRD AND SUBSEQUENT WIVES' PENSIONS. 4. The rules laid down in Rules 2 and 3 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the case of pensions to a third, or any sub- sequent wife of a member as above. It should be borne in mind that the pension to the last wife, and the age she would have been if alive at the date of the further marriage, are always to be taken as the basis for estimat- ing the commencing pension to which the new wife is entitled.
PENSIONS TO WIDOWS AND CHILDREN OF SUCH MEMBERS AS MAY HAVE JOINED THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF OTHER COLONIES.
5. The widow's pension should be based upon the estimated ac- quired interest that such transferred member has in the then exist- ing Fund at the date of his removal. This interest may be assessed as shown below:-
A. IF SUCH MEMBER BE A BACHELOR AT THE TIME OF HIS
TRANSFER.
First Wife: His interest in the Fund should be taken as at the time of transfer and according to Rule 24; and this amount should be further accumulated without interest from the time of such transfer until his first marriage: and the pension thence arising that the widow is entitled to should be computed by the same Rule-regard being had to the cessation of further contributions.
EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood and up to the time of transfer amount to $200, and if this sum, when further accumul- ated without interest, amounts to $300 by the time of his first marriage, and if the ages of himself and wife at mar- riage are 30 and 20 respectively, then $300 × 2927= $87 81-wife's pension.
Second Wife: Take the pension as above determined, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C correspond- ing to the respective ages of the husband and that which his late wife would have reached if alive at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply this last product by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage (vide Rule 2 C).
EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage, the age of such husband's first wife, if then alive, would have been 35, his own age is 45, and that of his second wife is 30, and if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled as found above, is $87.81, then
$87-81 × 3·777 × 2453=$81·35-second wife's pension. Third &e. Wife: For a third, or subsequent wife, take the pension for the last existing wife, and proceed to adjust it in the manner shown for the case of the second wife.
B. IF SUCH MEMBER BE MARRIED, OR A WIDOWER, AT THE
TIME OF HIS TRANSFER.
The widow's pension attaching to his then wife, or, if he be a widower, the pension which is supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of the same age as his late wife would have been if then alive (vide Rule 2 C), should be abated by just the amount that it would be increased, correspond- ing to the amount of contributions that such member will rease to pay upon transfer from the l'ublic Service of the Colony, and according to the principles laid down in section 7 of the Ordinance. Again, this abated pension should be adjusted upon re-marriage, in the manner shown in Rule 5, corresponding to the then ages of the husband and wife.
CHILDREN'S PENSIONS.
6. The children's pensions, being based upon what the widow was receiving, or would have received, had there been one, may be calculated according to the Rules contained in Rules 2, 3, 4 and 5. regard being had to the conditions laid down by the Ordinance.
GENERAL WORKING.
7. The cost of remittances to and from Europe, with the loss, if any, upon the exchange, will be borne by the individual beneficiaries upon whose account these outgoings may be incurred.

Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN.-Any one who was acquainted with Hongkong knew the experiments must fail. The Vice-President.--I anticipated failure. Better stop these experiments as they are unsuited for Hongkong. The President moved-

Public Urinal at the Western End of the Cricket Ground.-- A further reply from the Honourable the Colonial Secretary, was laid on the table. The reply was to the effect that, owing to the location of the Hongkong Club and numerous other large buildings on the Praya Reclamation, a urinal for the use of the numerous chair and jinricksha coolies employed in connection with those buildings renders a urinal in the immediate vicinity absolutely necessary. If the urinal referred to by the Board is removed it must therefore be removed to a site in the immediate vicinity, and to find such a site that will at the same time be free from objection is by no means easy, and may entail considerable expense. A solution of the difficulty is under consideration, and if the negotiations which are necessary to give effect to it are carried to a successful issue the Board will be informed in due course.
Bubonic Plague (Wuchow and Suburbs).-A letter from H. B. Consulate, Wuchow, dated 25th April, 1900, to the effect that several cases of Plague are reported as having occurred within the last three or four days in the City of Wuchow and Suburbs, was laid on the table.
Draft Bye-law.-The Vice-President addressed the Board and, pursuant to notice, moved-
That the attention of Government be called to Bye-law 10, Section 13, Ordinance 15 of 1894-That whenever two cases of Plague have occurred in any health district the Sanitary Board recommend the hours be changed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., to 5 a.m, to 6 p.m.
Mr. JAMES MCKIE addressed the Board and seconded.
The Medical Officer of Health addressed the Board and explained that it would save time if the Board adopted the following Bye law.
The Vice-President with the consent of his seconder withdrew his former motion, and substituted the following:- ADDITIONAL BYE-LAW
to be made under section 15 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, to be enforced only during the prevalence of an epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease in the Colony or in any district thereof.
28. Any officer of the Sanitary Board may, during the prevalence in the Colony, or in any district thereof, of bubonic plague, cholera, or small-pox and within such limits as may from time to time be defined by the Board, enter any building or curtilage between the hours of 5 a m. and 6 p.m. for the purpose of ascertaining whether any sick person or dead body is to be found upon such premises. If any sick person be so found, such officer may detain such person or remove him to a public hosp'tal until he can be examined by some legally qualified and registered medical practitioner, and he may remove any dead body found upon such premises to the Public Mortuary."
The Bye-law, having been read by the Acting Secretary, was then adopted.
Mr. FENG WA CHUN addressed the Board and asked that special precautions be taken in enforcing this Bye-law. Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE addressed the Board.

Draft Bye-law. The following Bye-law, adopted by the Board at a regular meeting held on May 10th, was con- sidered in the Executive Council Meeting of May 14th, and referred back to the Sanitary Board for amendment (and re- making) in strict accordance with the terms of section 13 of Ordinance 15 of 1894:-
28. "
ADDITIONAL BYE-LAW
to be made under section 13 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, to be enforced only during the prevalence of an epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease in the Colony or in any district thereof.
Any officer of the Sanitary Board may, during the prevalence in the Colony, or in any district thereof, of bubonic plague, cholera, or small-pox and within such limits as may from time to time be defined by the Board, enter any building or curtilage between the hours of 5 a.m. aud 6 p.m. for the purpose of ascertaining whether any sick person or dead body is to be found upon such premises. If any sick person be so found, such officer may detain such person or remove him to a public bospital until he can be examined by some legally qualified and registered medical practitioner, and he may remove any dead body found upon such premises to the Public Mortuary."
The Vice-President addressed the Board and recommended the adoption of the following amendment to Bye-law 25 in lieu of the above additional Bye-law :-
AMENDMENT TO BYE-LAW 25
Made under Section 13 of Ordinance 15 of 1894.
For the purposes of this Bye-law any officer of the Sanitary Board may enter any premises without notice between the hours of 5 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The Bye-law having been read by the Acting Secretary was then adopted.
The Vice-President in his address to the Board pointed out that the utility of "house to house visitation
is greatest
in the early stages of an outbreak of Bubonic Plague, and it was therefore agreed that the Government should be urged, to deal with this Bye-law, with as little delay as possible, and in order to expedite this matter, to obtain the opinion of the Attorney General before the next Council Meeting.
It was also suggested that the word "addition" should be substituted for the word "amendment."
Bubonic Plague (Hongkong).-The Medical Officer of Health addressed the Board, and moved-
That the whole City of Victoria be now declared infected with Bubonic Plague.

4. For vessels under the British Flag, this table shows a falling off of 48 ships. This may be attributed to the return to normal conditions of the shipping of the port. In 1898 there was a large extra number of tramp colliers entered from home. These were subsequently employed in the inflated rice trade to Japan, which continued up to the end of 1898. These steamers have now returned home. An additional cause for the diminution lies in the fact that the steamers of the Northern Pacific Line have turned over to the United States Flag. There is also a great decrease in the number of sailing vessels calling here which, alone, would account for more than the 48.
The British tonnage, on the other hand, shows an increase of 19,368 tons. accounted for by the gradual substitution of large for small vessels.
This may be
For vessels under Foreign Flags, there is also a numerical decrcase with an increase of measure- ment. The decrease of 105 ships is explained by-(i) The total disappearance of West River Lorchas under German colours. (ii) A certain number of German coasting steamers, usually calling here, And (iii) having been, during the greater part of the year, on time charter in the Northern ports. Three Danish steamers, of sinall tonnage, and of former frequent entry, have ceased to call here.
The increase of tonnage of 165,046 tons is accounted for by-(i) The starting of a new Japanese line of steamers, the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, calling here. (ii) The increased number of Japanese coast- ing steamers. (iii) An increase in Marty's Fleet (French). (iv) The Northern Pacific Line, having shifted from British to United States colours, were running here during the first half of the year. The remarks (v) The greatly increased size of many steamers now employed on the European runs. as to British sailing vessels (above) also apply here.
5. The actual number of ships, of European construction, (exclusive of River steamers) entering the port during the year 1899 was 603, being 312 British and 291 Foreign.
In 1898,
These 603 vessels entered 3,316 times, and gave a total tonnage of 4,940,218 tons.
656 vessels entered 3,564 times, and gave an aggregate tonnage of 4,871,213 tons.
Thus 53 fewer vessels entered 203 less times, and gave a total tonnage increased by 69,005 tons.

The proportion of British officers in Foreign ships was, therefore, 15.6 %, distributed among nationalities. Au increase of 4.3% on 1898, with a decrease of 26 ships.
Of the crews of British vessels--
17.6% were British.
""
0.7 % Other Europeans. 81.7%
Asiatics.
Of the crews of Foreign vessels-
2.2% were British.
""
24.0% Other Europeans. 73.8%
Asiatics.
This shows a tendency towards a greater employment of Asiatic labour both in British and Foreign vessels, with a corresponding reduction in the proportion of Europeans.
At the same time, there is a reduction in the percentage of Other Europeans" employed in
British ships, and an increased proportion of British seamen employed in Foreign vessels.
Taking the total entries and departures, the average crew of British ships was 60 (an increase of 3), of whom 18.2 % were Europeans (a decrease of 1.8%). For Foreign ships the average crew num- bered 53 (an increase of 6), of whom 26.2 % were Europeans (a decrease of 2.4 %).

TRADE.
7. The principal features to be remarked as to the trade of the port for the year 1899 are:
(i) A large increase reported in the Case Oil imported.
(ii) The import of Rice, which had more than doubled in 1898, shows a still further
increase.
(iii) A great decrease in the Coal trade reported.
(iv) Sugar and Hemp also show a great falling off.
Case Oil, which was stationary in 1898, appears to have increased by 21,473 tons in 1899, (or 36.4 %). Bulk Oil, on the other hand, has declined by 6.335 tons.
Rice again shows an increase of 24,435 tons, or 3.2 %.
Timber increases by 14,511 tons, or 31.0 %
Coal, which had increased unprecedentedly in 1898, now suffers a reaction, and falls off by 130,410 tons, or 25.25 %.
Hemp decreases by 22,292 tons, or 40.0 %, while Sugar declines 84,260 tons, or 31.8%.
The net decrease in imports reported amounts to 206,884 tons.
In exports there is also a decrease (net) of 237,298 tons.
The transit cargo return shows a net decrease of 62,619 tons.
As has already been pointed out in previous annual returns, these cargo statistics cannot be re- garded as accurately representing the trade of the port, as they are compiled from information gratuitously given, without any special staff or power to demand accurate returns.
8. The total import trade of the port for 1899 amounts to 28,010 vessels of 8,570,204 tons. carrying 5,707,898 tons of cargo, of which 3,750,195 tons were discharged at Hongkong. This does not include tonnage, number or cargo of Local Trade Junks.

Comparing this with 1898, we find that the Import Trade has decreased generally. The decrease being fairly evenly distributed among the several classes. There is, however, a slight increase in classes I and IV.
The Transit cargo has also decreased.
In Exports, although the tonnage cleared has increased by 137,623 tons, yet the number of vessels is less by 7.027, and the Export Cargo has diminished by 91,677 tons.
9. During the year 10,905 vessels of European construction, of 13,437,147 tons (Net Register) carried 7,637,075 tons of cargo, as follows:-

(Under Section 13 of Ordinance No. 26 of 1891).
17. The following Courts have been held during the year:-
1. On the 12th and 13th January, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the loss of the British Steam-ship Glenavon, Official No. 84,305, of Glasgow, on the Ling Ting rocks on the night of the 29th December, 1898. The Master's (WILLIAM PITHIE) certificate of competency was suspended for twelve months.
2. On the 13th and 14th April, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the loss of the British barque Clwyd, Official No. 106,845, of Liverpool, on the Pratas Shoal on the 1st April, 1899.
The Master's (THOMAS THOMAS) certificate of competency was suspended for six months.
3. On the 22nd September, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the loss of the British Steam-ship White Cloud, Official No. 64,124, of Hongkong, when about 80 miles from Hong- kong, on the morning of the 9th September, 1899. The Master (ARTHUR MYRVIN RAYMOND) was not present at the inquiry, though he was served with a notice to attend. The loss of the White Cloud was to be attributed to her not being in a seaworthy condition for the voyage to Manila. She was not prematurely abandoned, and her loss was not caused by any wrongful act or default of the Master or Officers.
4. On the 25th October, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the British Steam- ship Esmeralda, Official No. 95,859 of Hongkong, striking some submerged obstacle on the 14th September, 1899, whilst on a voyage to Manila cia Amoy. The Master's (ALEXANDER WILLIAM ROSS COBBAN) certificate of competency was returned to him.

The Master's (HEATHFIELD CHARLES DALTON FRAMPTON) certificate of competency was returned to him.
6. On the 19th December, inquiry respecting the circumstances connected with the foundering of the British Steam-ship Iupch, Official No. 99,024, of London, in the China Sea on the 20th November, 1899. The Master's (GEORGE HENRY PENNEFATHER) certificate of competency was returned to him.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.
20. 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 of 1894 I referred at length to the case of the Government Marine Sur- veyor 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, applica- "tions 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.
"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 necessary "that there should be an adequate and efficient staff. It will be seen from the report of "Mr. DIXON attached hereto that the survey of a vessel for Passenger Certificate occupies "himself and his Assistant 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 cir- "cumstances.
?.
There are four local Marine Surveyors carrying on business in Hongkong; in addition "to these, some of the Steamship Companies employ special surveyors for their vessels. The Government Marine Surveyors practically do a very large proportion of the "amalgamated work of all these, having at the same time to so arrange that if possible there "should be no delay or inconvenience to any one. No easy matter in a place where, as "may be expected, each owner or agent considers his own interest as paramount."
In the same report (1894) I compared the work done at Liverpool by cleven 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 disadvantage of climate, &c., we had 56 vessels of over 100,000 tons to each surveyor.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 2ND JUNE. 1900.
897
Once more I must dwell on this subject; the amount of work performed by our surveyors continues to increase and, that it becomes necessary for me to draw attention to it is, I think, ample testimony that it is satisfactorily performed, for we all know that public duties ill performel soon declare themselves.
During the ten months January-October, 1899, the tonnage surveyed at Liverpool was 1,077,260 tons, in Hongkong 239,280 tons were surveyed, this gives 97,982 tons per surveyor at Liverpool and 119,640 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 $13,598.61 in 1899, the "overtime" fees alone in 1899 amount- ing to $480.
The Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies has recently notified his sanction to an increase in the salaries of certain Officers, and I would very respectfully suggest that his pro- fessional qualifications might place the Government Marine Surveyor in the same category as the senior Executive Engineers of the Public Works Department with regard to their increase, and similarly that the Assistant Marine Surveyor who is also a qualified Engineer should be placed on the same footing as the other Executive Engincers of the Public Works Department.

23. As there appears no immediate prospect of any improvement in the accommodation provided for the work of the Harbour Department I desire to call special attention to the matter.
The present building was first occupied in 1874 or 25 years ago, the staff is practically the same as it was then, the pay taken on a sterling basis is less, and the tonnage has increased from 6,528,000 tons to over 18,000,000 tons.
The present offices are small, badly lighted, badly ventilated and badly arranged, in fact the Harbour Office combines all the disadvantages of which we have frequently heard in connection with the Post Office and the Law Courts; but being at the West end of the town and somewhat out of the European business quarter, it is out of sight and, I fear, out of mind.
As the Port Office of the largest Shipping Port in any British Possession abroad it is, to say the least of it, not creditable.
In 1894, I stated to the Retrenchment Committee as follows:
"The only way in which the enormous amount of clerical work, which goes on at the "Harbour Office is done, is owing to the fact that the clerks at work there-the first, second, "third, and fourth-are all men who have been in the Harbour Department for upwards of "20 or 25 years. They have grown with the work and it is only because they have grown "with it that they are now able to do it.'
This statement I have now to reiterate, with one exception only, namely, that the fourth clerk has only been in the office for 14 years-though he was in the Opium Office branch 11 years pre- viously he came in when the first clerk retired on pension in 1898, and there was a general "fleet up" amongst the others on a diminished scale of pay.
The work continues to increase with the increase of shipping, to say nothing of territory, over- time work is the rule rather than the exception, and any temporary absence through sickness-a condition which happily seldom happens-is keenly felt by the others.
It is much to be desired that the New Harbour Office will shortly receive attention. The new site is now reclaimed and the sale of the old site would pay for building the new office, which sale, I understand, could take place any day
(( on time."

PRESENT:
The Director of Public Works, (The Honourable ROBERT DALY ORMSBY), President.
The Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer, (Dr. JAMES ALFRED Lowson), Vice-President. The Medical Officer of Health, (Dr. FRANCIS WILLIAM CLARK).
EDWARD OSBORNE, Esquire.

Minutes.-The minutes of regular meeting No. 10, of a confidential meeting held on the same day, as well as those of special meeting No. 11 held on 17th day of May, 1900, were confirmed.
A Bye-law made under sub-section 4 of section 13 of Ordinance 24 of 1887.-A letter from Dr. HARSTON protesting against lime-washing as a means of combating the Plague during an epidemic, and drawing the attention of the Board to the risks involved by enforcing this Bye-law during an epidemic of Plague without previous disinfection of the houses which are to be thoroughly cleansed and lime-washed, was again submitted, as the consideration of this letter had been postponed for a fortnight.
A reply from the Medical Officer of Health to Dr. HARSTON's letter was also submitted. The reply pointed out, that the Wanchai Health District was lime-washed during January and February, 1899, but only 13 cases of Plague occurred during the months January-April of that year, out of a total of 129 cases, while 68 of these cases occurred in No. 9 Health A tabulated list of the dates of the Wanchai Plague District, where the lime-washing is not done until May and June.
cases and the dates of lime-washing, attached to the reply, showed that in only one case out of 90 was the interval between the date of lime-washing and date of Plague case sufficiently small to support the assumption that there is a connection between cleansing and an outbreak of Plague.
Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE pointed out that, as there was some misunderstanding, it would be better to ask Dr. HARSTON to attend their next meeting to clear up this misunderstanding and to explain exactly what he did mean, and moved-
That Dr. Harston be asked to attend the meeting of the Board in Committee which is to be called for Thursday,
the 31st instant.
The Vice-President seconded and explained that disinfection did not precede the lime-washing done periodically by the owners of tenement property, but that in all cases of Plague it invariably did so.
Lieutenant-Colonel RYAN addressed the Board,
Question-put and agreed to.
Branch Plague Hospital at Kennedytown.-Certain papers relative to the re-opening of the Branch Plague Hospital at Kennedytown were laid on the table.
Plague and Overcrowding.-A preliminary report by the Medical Officer of Health on overcrowding, presented in accordance with the following resolution adopted by the Board at a regular meeting held on April 26th, 1900, was laid on the table--
That the Medical Officer of Health ascertain in what Health Districts there are the largest number of unoccu- pied tenements and proceed to enforce the Law against overcrowding, in one of those districts only as a
commencement.
It was agreed to refer this Report to the Committee of the whole Board which is considering the present methods of combating outbreaks of Bubonic Plagne.
Public Urinal at the Western End of the Cricket Ground.-A further reply from the Honourable the Colonial Secretary, to the effect that the negotiations referred to in his reply of April 30th had been unsuccessful, was laid on the table.
Anti-Plague Inoculation.-Chapter IV of the Report of the Indian Plague Commission which deals with Anti- Plague Inoculation was submitted, and it was agreed that its receipt should be acknowledged with thanks, but that the Board was not prepared at present to take any further action in connection with inoculation against Plague.
Bubonic Plague (Manila).-A letter from the Office of the Board of Health to the effect that there has been no increase in the number of cases of Plague, and that there are few cases in the city now, was laid on the table.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1900.
929

The Vice-President seconded.
The President addressed the Board relative to the dried rats which are exposed for sale. Question--put and agreed to.
An Assistant Medical Officer of Health.-Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE addressed the Board and, pursuant to notice, moved-
That the Sanitary Board are unanimously of opinion that an Assistant Medical Officer of Health is urgently needed as the duties and responsibilities of the Department are more than one Medical man can be reasonably expected to undertake.
Lieutenant-Colonel RYAN addressed the Board and seconded.
The Vice-President addressed the Board.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN addressed the Board.
Question-put and agreed to.

The President moved-
That this matter be considered confidentially.
The Medical Officer of Health seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
Bubonic Plague (Tainan, Formosa).-A return of the Bubonic Plague cases in the Island of Formosa, showing that sixteen new cases occurred on May 24th, was laid before the Board.
The Medical Officer of Health moved-
That this Board recommend the Governor in Council to proclaim Fainan, Formosa, a port or place at which an infectious disease (namely, Bubonic Plague) prevails, in accordance with table L of the schedule of The Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance of 1899.
Mr. JAMES MCKIE seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
Bubonic Plague (Bombay City).--A statement from the Secretary to the Bombay Government, showing the number of Plague cases and deaths in Bombay City from 10th April, 1900, to 23rd April, 1900, was laid on the table.

Question-put and agreed to.
The President moved-
That strangers be requested to withdraw.

A confidential meeting was then held.

DISCIPLINE, TRAINING, &C.
28. The discipline of the Corps has been exceedingly good throughout the season.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9?u JUNE, 1900.

29. The usual squad, carbine, rifle, company, and gun drills and practices have been performed and have been well attended. Musketry drills have been performed, but beyond musketry practice for recruits at the Camp of Instruction, no musketry practices have been carried out, in consequence of practice at the Police Range having been forbidden for the rifles and carbines with which the Corps is now armed. Several rifle and carbine competitions have, however, been held by the several Units during the season on the Naval Range at Kowloon and Stonecutters' Island, and with good success. Grateful acknowledgments on behalf of the Corps are due to the Naval Authorities for allowing the Corps to have the use of these ranges.
30. Gun practices have taken place, both over land and sea ranges, as shown in Enclosures 8
and 9.
31. Revolver practice by the Officers and Staff Sergeants of the Corps have taken place, as shown in Enclosure 10.

CAMP OF INSTRUCTION.
33. From the 20th to the 30th October, 1899, a Camp of Instruction was held under canvas on Stonecutters' Island East.
34. The use of the Naval Range on the Island was kindly lent by the Naval Authorities during the holding of the Camp.
35. The Camp was well attended and much practical work was performed, including company, carbine, and rifle drill, extended order practice, outpost duties, musketry instruction, fire discipline, gun drill, beltfilling, lectures, and instruction in gun laying and fuze boring. Gun practice took place over sea and land ranges.
36. The Corps also took part with the Regular Forces in the defence of Stonecutters' Island during a night mobilization. On that occasion the Engineer Company of the Corps assisted the Royal Engineers in working the electric lights on the Island.
37. I am strongly of opinion that the Annual Camp of Instruction tends in a high degree to promote the efficiency and popularity of the Corps. Endeavours will be made during the coming season to make the rationing of the Corps at the next camp more in accordance with the scale and system in use by the Regular Troops whilst in Camp.
38. The Camp Allowance of $2 per caput per diem (vide Volunteer Regulations, 1899, para. 30 (4)) was, during the past season, found to be insufficient to cover the many expenses in connection with the Camp of Instruction. As the result of the experience gathered on the point, I beg to suggest that the allowance should be raised to $2.50 per caput per diem, and thus save to the Capitation Grant the large amount, viz., $817.13 which it was found necessary to disburse to cover the total expenditure, a sum, which had it remained to the credit of the Corps Funds, might have been spent in many ways to the advantage and benefit of the Corps.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1900.
SERVICES.
39. I have already given expression to the deep sense of obligation under which all ranks of the Corps lie to Colonel MAINWARING and Major MORRIS for their services while holding the temporary command. Those scrvices were cheerfully and freely rendered at a momentous period in the history of the Corps, and there can be no doubt that it is in great measure owing to their ability, tact, and unwearied interest that the Corps has been enabled to attain so satisfactory a position during the past
season.
40. Major ARTHUR CHAPMAN has, as was to be anticipated from his record as Officer Commanding the Field Battery, proved himself to be an energetic and capable Second in Command. He is devoted to the performance of his duties, and always uses his great influence with the non-commissioned Officers and men in the best interests of the Corps.
41. Captain W. St. C. BLAND, Royal Garrison Artillery, who was appointed to the Adjutancy just prior to the end of the Training Season 1898-99, has ever since rendered most efficient service in every department of his duties. By his skill and ability as an Officer, by his close and unremitting attention to duty, by the keen interest which he shows in the drill and instruction of the Corps and indeed in everything that relates to it, and by his tact in dealing with all ranks, he has shown himself to be a most efficient Adjutant and has won the entire respect and confidence of every member of the Corps.
42. The other Officers of the Corps continue to render excellent service. They set an admirable example in every way to the Non-commissioned Officers and men under their command, and do their utmost to promote the efficiency of the Corps. In these respects the officers who have been com- missioned during the past season are in no degree behind their brother officers of older standing.
43. Corps Quartermaster Sergeant G. W. WATLING was, on the recommendation of Major MORRIS, late Acting Commandant, and myself, promoted to be Corps Sergeant Major, with effect from the 1st February, 1900. This promotion was the fitting reward of long and meritorious service rendered to the Corps, and I feel sure that all ranks were gratified at its being made. During the past season Corps Sergeant Major WATLING'S duties were as usual performed in a very zealous and efficient manner.
44. The Instructors of the Field Battery, "A" "B" and "C" Machine Gun, "D" Infantry, "E" Engineer Companies, and the Band have proved themselves very efficient and painstaking and have performed their duties to the satisfaction of the Commandant and Adjutant and to the advantage
of those under their instruction.
45. The Non-commissioned Officers and men of the Corps have, with few exceptions, attended drills and parades and shown a praiseworthy desire to make themselves proficient and efficient. Their conduct and good feeling in Camp have been reported to me as remarkably good. I have been im- pressed since my return from leave with the steadiness and attention shown by them during drills and parades.
REGULATIONS.
46. The new Regulations for the Corps which were submitted on the 4th April. 1899, and approved of by the Governor-in-Council on the 25th May, 1899, have been acted on since they came into
force.
The system, however, of Instructors for the Corps requires reconsideration. At present there are six Instructors, one for Field Battery, two for Machine Gun Companies, one for Infantry Company. the Engineer Company is instructed as regards Electric Light by two Royal Engineer Instructors, as regards Infantry drill by the Instructor of the Infantry Company, and these Non-commissioned Officers are paid a total of $160 per mensem from Corps Funds. The Instructors are only available in the time they can spare from their ordinary regimental work. I would recommend that there should be at least two permanent Instructors on the strength of the Permanent Staff of the Corps, one for the Field Battery, and one for the Machine Gun Companies.
47. The allowance of small arm ammunition so fixed by Part 1 of the Fifth Schedule to the Regulations has been found insufficient, and I recommend that it be increased to allow of practice being performed as laid down in the Home Volunteer Regulations, 1899, Appendix 8, Tables "A" and "B", viz.,-49 rounds per each recruit (for which no provision is made at present in Corps Regula- tions) and to alter present allowance of 20 rounds per each efficient to that of 49 rounds per each efficient-vide Army Order 146 of 1899.
48. The Reserve of the Corps, as provided by paras. 34 to 39 of the Regulations, has not yet been formed, nor has the Establishment been laid down.
The following numbers are recommende for sanction :----

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
935
49. The annual inspection of the Corps by His Excellency the General Officer Commanding was held on the 21st ultimo. The parade state on that occasion is shewn in Enclosure 12.
50. I have to request that the Chief Ordnance Officer, China, may be asked to keep up a supply of 2.5" R.M.L. Guo, and 303" Cordite Small Ammunition for the use of the Corps, to be indented for as required on repayment.
51. "Crimson" facings have been sanctioned during the past season for the "A "BC" and "D" Companies of the Corps, and are now being applied.
The
52. The want of a Rifle Range for the Corps has been very severely felt during the past season. with the result that virtually no "Regulation Course" with the new arms has been obtained. extreme urgency of the matter has been fully recognised by His Excellency the General Officer Com- manding. Plans have been prepared and a site selected, and it is greatly to be hoped that the necessary funds will be voted to allow of the work being put in hand without delay. When the range for the Corps is completed, it is hoped that the annual course as laid down in the Home Volunteer Regulations, 1899, will be completed by the whole Corps.
53. I would also venture to draw attention to the fact that the Corps possesses absolutely no magazine accommodation. The Military Authorities have found it necessary (this office 298/99 (Cen. Registry No. 1462/121/6-11-99)) to take from the Corps the magazine in Murray Battery which had been used by the Corps for some years. As a consequence much inconvenience has been entailed. as ammunition has now to be drawn as required from time to time from the Ordnance Store whereas formerly the year's allowance was drawn and was kept in the magazine ready for use when required.
54. I beg to draw particular attention to the inconvenience which is caused by the totally inadequate accommodation of the present Volunteer Head Quarter Building. The roof of the building is always in bad order, and during the rainy season, in spite of the greatest attention and care, the equipment is liable to damage. Further, during wet weather drills cannot be carried out at all in consequence of there being no hall or room available. Plans are being prepared, and on their com- pletion I trust that the work will be put in hand, to allow, if possible, of the building being ready for use during the next season. The provision of proper accommodation, including a Gymnasium, would largely tend to promote the efficiency and popularity of the Corps. By paragraph 40 of the Corps Regulations, the obligation is laid on the Government "to provide and maintain suitable premises for the use of the Corps ", and it is obvious that the requirements of the Corps have outgrown the accom- modation afforded by a building which was provided for a much smaller body of men. earnestly to insist upon the important bearing which this question has on the efficiency and general well-being of the Corps.
I desire
55. Requisitions for the capitation and proficiency grants have been sent direct to the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer.
56. In conclusion, it will be seen from this report that the progress of the Corps during the past season has been exceptionally good. This progress has been brought about by the patriotic spirit and the self-denying efforts of the young men of the Colony, including both those who were already members of the Corps, and also those who joined it during the past season; by the exertions of Officers whose services I have already mentioned; and by the generous recognition and help afforded by the Government and the Legislature. I trust that similar conditions of progress will not be wanting in
the future.
The Corps was called out to assist, with the remainder of the Garrison, in the suppression of the disturbances on the Kowloon Peninsula on the 16th April, 1899, and also in the taking possession of the City of Kowloon on the 16th May, 1899. These services of the Corps received recognition from
proper authorities.
the
During the season an offer was made to Her Majesty's Government of a detachment of the Corps with four Machine Guns for service in South Africa, but the offer was not accepted.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9 JUNE, 1900.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 298.
The following Report of the Acting Postmaster General for 1899 is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th June, 1900.
No.'49.
F. H. MAY,
945
Acting Colonial Secretary.
GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 10th April, 1900.
SIR,I have the honour to submit the following report on the Hongkong Postal Service, inclusive of the British Postal Agencies in China, for the year 1899.
I regret the necessity that has caused the Postmaster General to leave Hongkong before this report was ready to be sent in, as Captain HASTINGS would have been in a better position than I am to deal with the whole year.
Captain HASTINGS was appointed Acting Postmaster General on the 15th February succeeding the Honourable A. M. THOMSON who had been promoted to the post of Colonial Treasurer. He was confirmed in this office by the Secretary of State for the Colonies under date the 18th May. I arrived and assumed the duties of Assistant Postmaster General on the 13th April, having been appointed to that office by the Secretary of State in the February previous. This office had been unfilled since Mr. NORTHCOTE went on leave, and the duties attached to it were, I am informed, satisfactorily carried out by the Chief Clerk, in addition to those of his own assisted by a clerk temporarily employed. Consequent on the retirement of the Accountant, Mr. DA ROCHA, on a pension, after a long and valued service of 34 years, Mr. REED, who had been acting was confirmed in that appointment on the 25th May, 1899. The Department was fortunate in obtaining so very competent and careful an officer to succeed Mr. DA ROCHA. The Superintendent of the Registration Branch was transferred back to the Police Department in December, after the investigation by the Executive Council of charges made against him by the Postmaster General, of insubordination and disobedience of orders. His place was taken by Mr. P. V. REMEDIOS of the General Office-a most reliable and willing officer, and whose place it will be difficult to fill. I believe that under him the Registration Branch will cease to afford the public any of the past frequent causes of complaint. Among the Junior Clerks there were many changes, 22 clerks joined and 21 resigned or were dismissed. With the exception of two, one with eight years' service and the other three years, all these latter were employed under a year.
Approximate statistics (Table A) of International and Local Correspondence received and despatched during the year, which is based on the statistics taken in October, give the following
results :

9,750 5,690 19,690 8,100
Compared with the previous year it will be seen that there was an increase under each head in both International and Local Correspondence. I may mention that included in the total under the head Local-Received-there were 199,520 letters, etc., posted and delivered in Hongkong, as against 140,690
in 1898.
A Statement (Table B) of the number of Bags, Packets, Parcel Boxes and Loose Letter Boxes received and despatched will, no doubt, be of interest. It shows the respectable totals of 64,496 Bags, 3,633 Packets, 3,066 Parcel Boxes, and 2,290 Loose Letter Boxes, handled at this office.
By direction of the Postmaster General of the United Kingdom, special statistics were taken of the weight of mails despatched by British Contract Packets from London and Hongkong during the first 28 days of May; the result is appended (Table C). The total weight being-London-Letters 725 lbs. 14 ozs., Post Cards 1 fb. 10 ozs., Other Articles 10,086 fbs. and-Hongkong-Letters 576 lbs. 6 ozs., Post Cards 1 lb. 7 ozs., Other Articles 1,015 tbs. 11 ozs.
The usual statement of the monthly sale of Stamps at Hongkong will be found in Table D. The total amount received was $216,791.45 which was $16,404.32 less than the previous year. This falling off was due, not to any decrease in the volume of correspondence, for there was a large increase, but undoubtedly, and as was anticipated, to the adoption of the 1d. Postage rate on letters to the United Kingdom and the majority of the British Colonies. I have every reason to believe, however, that in the near future the still further increased correspondence will considerably reduce this loss if it does not entirely remove it.
946
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1900.
The Parcel Post transactions compared with those of the previous year will be found in Table E. Included in the total 26,866 Parcels received there were 2,215 Parcels Insured, and in the total 22,488 Parcels Despatched, 4,002 Parcels Insured.
Table F. contains the Revenue and Expenditure for the year compared with that of 1898. There was a slight increase under certain heads of revenue, but owing to the large decreases under that of Postage Stamps and Profit on Exchange, the total revenue received was less by $19,270.63. I am glad, however, to point out that on the Expenditure side there was a decrease of $3,658.76. The net balance to the credit of the Hongkong Post Office on the year's transactions amounted to $80,006.60. In Table G. will be found the details of the Money Order business done during the year. The total amount of orders issued and paid in Hongkong and Shanghai was $633,397.72 while in 1898 it amounted to $527,413.00. The sale of Imperial and Local Postal Orders exceeded that of 1898-the former by $1.000 and the latter by $300.
On the 1st September, 1899, a Postal Agency was opened at Liu Kung Tau, a writer on the Commissioner's staff being appointed the Agent. In the four months during which it was open the receipts there amounted to-Sale of Stamps $390.39, Unpaid Postage $34.65, Profit on Exchange $26.72, sale of Imperial Postal Notes $978.73 and Local Postal Notes $326.93. The expenses incurred since opening was for salary of Agent and pay of Postmen $156.80, Incidentals $55.55.
The Interception of Correspondence, received in the mails at this office addressed to other places, was made use of by many persons during the year and was certainly a convenience to those applying. By a few, however, it was thought an imposition that a fee should be charged for the 'privilege, and on one occasion it afforded the opportunity to a foreigner, in a near Port, to rather overstep the bounds of good manners. I am convinced that in offices doing far less business than Hongkong, and most certainly in larger ones, such applications would not be considered whether a fee was tendered or not.
During the year another attempt was made to carry out the results of the Conference held at this office in 1897, on the subject of partial postal union of China with Hongkong. After much correspondence between the Postmaster General and the Postal Authorities at Peking, and it had been submitted to London with a view to the preparation of the necessary Convention, I regret to say that owing to this Administration having been unable to accede to certain concessions subsequently proposed, this matter fell through.
Beyond some changes in the style of sorting cases there has been no improvements in the Post Office nor has there been any increase in the much-needed space. Light and ventilation are much required, and, with the long hours obtaining in this office, I may remark both are essential to the health and well-being of the employees. It is much to be desired that the new Post Office will soon be taken in hand.
The hours of attendance of the clerks of the Post Office, per week, far exceed those of the clerks in any other Department, and often it means 12 to 16 hours on a stretch with the shortest time possible allowed for meals to be taken on the premises. The average daily attendance invariably exceeded 8 hours. Besides, Sundays are not infrequently days as fully occupied as week days, owing to the arrival on many Sundays in the year of Contract Mails from Europe, principally the French Mail. While on this subject I may be permitted to allude to the insufficiency of the staff which not only rendered it often nigh almost impossible to get through the work in proper time, tnore especially when it happened that there were two Contract Mails going out the same day and one arriving, but in the case of the illness of any of the staff the duties of the absent ones fell, of necessity, on the remaining already overworked members. It was strongly recommended by the Postmaster General in his Annual Report for 1898, written shortly after his assumption of the duties of this Department, that at least six additional clerks should be given, and after some longer experience, he was forced to urge for still further help. His first recommendations were approved by the Secretary of State, and six Armenians from the Apear College, Calcutta, were engaged, to join on the 1st January, 1900.
During the eight months of 1899 that I have been in the Department, I think it but right to state the pleasure it gave me to work with and under the Postmaster General. His
and never- energy wearying anxiety to improve the conditions then existing of the Hongkong Post Office, was, I think, known and recognised; and in the Department it served, without doubt, as a direct incentive to the subordinates to follow his example and to carry out their duties in a more earnest and careful manner.
I am compelled in all justice (but at the same time have pleasure in so doing) to express my satisfaction with the older members of the staff as well as with some of the juniors for their ready and willing service. Some of these latter are very promising, and I can but hope, that with the anticipated increase of the initial salary, approved as from the 1st January, they will continue to progress, and also make up their minds to remain in the Post Office, instead of, as in the past, using this office as a stepping stone to something better.
The usual number of complaints regarding the alleged loss, delay or missending of unregistered letters were frequently made, but in many cases the Office was without blame, and looking to the circumstances surrounding the Hongkong Post Office, I do not think they were exceptional. On the other hand, I regret to have to refer to the complaints regarding the loss of Registered Letters and Insured Parcels, and which, unfortunately, was in many cases only too well proved. After a very searching examination of all the books kept in the Registration Department, (most efficiently carried through after office hours, by Mr. DIXON of the Money Order Office with the assistance of Messrs.
I
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1900.
947
MOOSA and REMEDIOS) it was discovered that no less than 83 Registered Letters and Parcels could not be traced. In many of these cases, however, no complaints had or have been made, and in some instances it was found that letters had been twice given receipts for or that, owing to some error subsequently discovered, the letter or parcel had been returned to the senders but the receipt never cancelled. In one instance the guilt in connection with an Insured Parcel for India was brought home to a clerk who had joined the Registration Branch on the 2nd May and resigned on the 3rd June on the ground of the insufficiency of the salary. He, on conviction, was sentenced to six months' Hard Labour, and had he not died before the expiration of his sentence, there were one or two other cases that he would have been charged with. The daily check since introduced will avoid any similar occurrence in the future.
In conclusion, I would like to express the thanks of this Department to the proprietors of The Hongkong Telegraph who have been good enough to insert in their issues the published lists of Poste Restante letters, &c., remaining at this office.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

Whereas, by Regulation No. 1 of the Quarantine Regulations made by the Governor in Council on the 18th day of March, 1897, under section 25 of Ordinance No. 26 of 1891, it is provided that the term "port or place at which any infectious or contagious disease prevailed" means a port or place proclaimed to be such by Order of the Governor in Council, published in the Gazette, from the date of such proclamation.
And whereas the said Quarantine Regulations were duly notified to take effect as from the 1st day of May, 1897.
And whereas the Officer Administering the Government in Council has ordered that Tai Nan, Formosa, should be proclaimed as a port or place at which an infectious or contagious disease prevails.
Now, therefore, I, WILLIAM JULIUS GASCOIGNE.

Amendment
of the fourth
schedule to Ordinance No. 10 of 1900.
A BILL
ENTITLED
An Ordinance to further amend The Magistrates
Ordinance. 1890, (No. 10 of 1890).
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 Magistrates (Amendment) Ordinance, 1900, and shall be construed as one with The Magistrates Ordinance, 1890, (as amended by Ordinances No. 12 of 1895 and No. 22 of 1898) hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance, and the four Ordi- nances may be cited together as The Magistrates Ordinances, 1890 to 1900.
""
2. The fourth schedule to the principal Ordinance is hereby amended by striking out the words "Any offence which is committed within the jurisdiction of the Admi- ralty," and by substituting for the word "Bribery; the words following, that is to say :-" Bribery, (except in cases under sections 3 or 4 of The Misdemeanors Punishment Ordinance, 1898, No. 3 of 1898, where the amount or value of the bribe does not exceed ten dollars);"
Objects and Reasons.
There appears to be no valid reason why in cases of comparatively trifling offences committed within the Admi- ralty Jurisdiction as for instance on board a British ship on the high seas, the offender should not be dealt with sum- marily by the Magistrate in the same way as if the offence had been committed after the ship had entered the harbour. There can be no doubt that the necessity, at present exist- ing, of sending all such cases to the Sessions of the Supreme Court, either works great hardship on innocent witnesses who are bound over to appear, or causes a failure of justice by the refusal of persons to prosecute. Hongkong is a port frequented by vessels, many of which stay there but a short period before procceding to other places, and it is often most inconvenient for witnesses to remain after the ship has left. Where the sentence of six months' hard labour will adequately meet the case and the facts are clear and simple, there is no valid reason why the Magistrate should have to commit the accused for trial just because the offence happened outside the harbour.
By section 80 of The Magistrates Ordinance, 1890, as amended by Ordinance 12 of 1895, the Magistrate cannot inflict imprisonment for more than six months. If, there- fore, the gravity or difficulty of the case rendered committal for trial desirable, the Magistrate would commit just as he can now, even where the case is not excluded by the schedule from summary jurisdiction. (See the third clause of section 80 of the Magistrates Ordinance.)
As regards cases of ignorant Chinese offering small bribes of a dollar or two to Sanitary Overseers, or Over- seers in the Public Works Department, to induce them to refrain from performing their duties, the Magistrate could quite well deal with matters of this kind and dispose of them promptly and satisfactorily. During the last two Sessions of the Supreme Court the time of the Chief Jus- tice, the Attorney General, the Crown Solicitor and the jury, was occupied by no less than four such cases, the last being a charge of offering forty cents to an officer to release from custody an offender whom he was taking to the Police Station. As
a matter of fact the Magistrate does, conti- nually, deal with much more serious offences than the offer- ing of petty bribes, and therefore he could quite properly be entrusted to dispose of matters of that kind. This Ordinance is intended to make the amendments in the schedule to Ordinance No. 10 of 1890, necessary to confer the requisite jurisdiction upon the Magistrate.

A BILL
ENTITLED
An Ordinance to amend 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 (Amend- Short title. ment) Ordinance, 1900, and shall be read and construed as one with The Piers Ordinance, 1899, hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance,
2. The expression "Crown foreshore", as used in the Interpreta- principal Ordinance and the schedule thereto, shall, for the tion. purposes of such Ordinance, be deemed to include Crown land covered with water below ordinary low-water mark.
Duration of scale of rents
in the
3.-(1.) The scale of annual rents specified in the sche- dule to the principal Ordinance shall continue in force until the end of the year 1924 and thereafter, unless and until schedule to altered as hereinafter provided.
Ordinance No. 37 of 1899.
(2.) The Governor in Council may, hereafter, revise and Provision alter such scale, as he may deem expedient, as from and for alteration
as from 1st after the 1st day of January, 1925 (inclusive). Such
January, revised and altered scale shall be notified in the Gazette 1925. and, when so notified, shall be deemed to be substituted for the scale in the said schedule and to have the same validity as if it had been contained in the said schedule, and it shall be in force as from the said 1st day of January, 1925 (inclusive), to the end of the year 1949, after which date the scale shall be again subject to revision.
971
Objects and Reasons.
"Crown foreshore" was defined by Lord HALE to be the ground (belonging to the Crown) between the ordinary high-water and low-water marks." The new Praya Wall will, in some instances, leave little, if any, ordinary Crown foreshore visible. But, as the bed of the sea extending from such new Praya Wall into the harbour belongs to the Crown, no person can creet or maintain a pier thereon without the permission of the Crown. It has been thought advisable, therefore, to extend, for the purposes of The Piers Ordinance, 1899, the meaning of Crown foreshore so as to include Crown land covered with water below ordinary low-water mark.
As regards the revision of rents, it was arranged, when The Piers Ordinance, 1899, was under consideration, that the Governor in Conneil should have power to revise and alter the scale of rents at the end of twenty-five years. such revised scale itself to remain in force for a like period of twenty-five years. It had been assumed that the inser- tion of a clause to that effect in the Leases of the Piers would suffice, but the Secretary of State deems it expedient that a provision authorising such revision should be inserted in the Ordinance itself. This will prevent any misunder- standing at the end of the period of twenty-five years, when the arrangement in question, assented to last year on behalf of the Pier Owners, may possibly have been forgotten or overlooked.

No. 120.
SIR,
DOWNING STREET,
4th May, 1900.
I have the honour to inform you that Her Majesty will not be advised to exercise Her powers of disallowance in respect of Ordinance 40 of 1899 of the Legislature of Hongkong entitled "An Ordinance to provide for the summoning of Chinese before the Registrar General," a transcript of which accompanied Sir H. A. BLAKE's despatch No. 23 of the 19th of January last.
2. I have also to acknowledge the receipt of Sir H. A. BLAKE's despatch No. 24 of the 19th January enclosing a protest against the Ordinance from Mr. T. H. WHITEHEAD, an Unofficial Member of the Legislative Council, and I
request that you will be good enough to cause him to be informed that after careful considera- tion I have not thought it desirable to advise Her Majesty to disallow the Ordinance. 3. I have been led to this conclusion, because I am of opinion that, while the powers given by the Ordinance are capable of leading to abuse, they may, on the other hand, if carefully administered be of great benefit to the Chinese community; and I am glad to notice from Mr. LOCKHART'S memorandum of 15th January last that his Department has acted with fairness and consideration.
4. At the same time I am of opinion that the operation of the Ordinance should continue to be carefully watched. and that it should not be allowed to remain in operation beyond the period of two years, prescribed by Section 5, with- out the previous authority of the Secretary of State.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
J. CHAMBERLAIN.

Minutes.-The minutes of regular meeting No. 12 held on the 25th day of May, 1900, as well as those of a confi- dential meeting held on the same day, were confirmed,
Removal of Chinese Cemeteries. The report of the Committee appointed on the 26th day of April, 1900, for the consideration of a reply from the Honourable the Colonial Secretary relative to the closing of the Chinese Cemeteries at Mount Davies, Caroline Hill, Matauwai, and the existing Plague Cemeteries in Hongkong, and the opening instead of a Chinese Cemetery and a Plague Cemetery on some island close to Hongkong, and of another Chinese Cemetery and a Plague Cemetery further North of Matauwai, and to coufer with the Acting Registrar General, was submitted,
The report showed that the Committee were unanimously agreed that the Plague Cemetery at Kennedytown is in every way as suitable for the purpose as the one at Sandy Bay which was used in 1891, and that the latter is under the dis advantage of requiring the conveyance of the dead bodies by water, but that if the Government are prepared to incur the great expense of water carriage of the dead bodies and mourners, they would recommend Lamma Island as a suitable site for a Plague Cemetery.
The Vice-President moved the adoption of the report and that it be forwarded to Government with the reasons of the Committee for making these recommendations.
Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
It was agreed that the letter stating these reasons should be cirenlated among the Members before being forwarded to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary,
Plague and Overcrowding.-A further report by the Medical Officer of Health on the alleged overcrowding in the City of Victoria, which had been drawn up in accordance with a resolution adopted by the Board on April 26th, 1900, was submitted. The report was to the effect that ninety-one floors had been visited, and 1,067 persons found occupying floors which can legally accommodate 1,381. Individual cases of overcrowding usually to the extent of four or five persons had been found, and these will be dealt with by legal notices,
On the suggestion of Lieutenant-Colonel RYAN, it was decided to refor the report to the Committee of the Board, which ‧ will meet on Thursday, June 14th, for the further consideration of the present method of combating Plague.
Public Urinals.--In forwarding the report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1899, special attention was drawn
to what was written by the Medical Officer of Health on page 2 under the heading "Public Urinals,"
In reply, the Board were asked to suggest some sites for Urinals, and a list of sites drawn up by the Medical Officer of Health was circulated and submitted.
Mr. JAMES MCKIE addressed the Board and pointed out that there were at present only three Urinals in this large shipping port, and as the Government appears to be desirous of increasing the number, he would move-
That a Committee be appointed to view the sites suggested by the Medical Officer of Health and to report
thereon.
The Vice-President seconded,
Mr. Epward Osponsi addressed the Board and suggested the Praya opposite to the Chinese portion of the City as a suitable site for Urinals as water would be near.
1022
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD JUNE, 1900.
The Medical Officer of Health addressed the Board and explained that the water would have to be lifted by machinery even if the Urinals were placed on the Praya.
Question-put and agreed to.
On the suggestion of the President, it was agreed that the Vice-President, the Medical Officer of Health, Mr. Edward OSBORNE and Mr. JAMES MCKIE should form the Committee.
The Water Supply.-The Medical Officer of Health addressed the Board, and, pursuant to notice, moved---
That the Sanitary Board beg to recommend the Government to appoint a Committee to enquire into the question of the water supply of the City of Victoria, with special reference to the use of sea water for such purposes as the watering of streets, the flushing of the main sewers, the extinction of fires, and the flushing of the many public urinals which are so urgently needed throughout the city, but which cannot apparently be pro- vided owing to the deficiency of our present water supply.
In his address the Medical Officer of Health pointed out that the present storage capacity for the City of Victoria is 500 million gallons, and the total storage capacity after the completion of Mr. COOPER's scheme would be about 700 million gallons. As the growth of the City was proceeding at a rapid rate, and the consumption of water had risen from 15 gallons per head per day to almost 17 gallous, this question demanded immediate attention.
Mr. CH'AN A-Fook pointed out that the amount of rainfall in Hongkong is very uncertain, and seconded.
The President addressed the Board and said he did not intend to oppose the motion of the Medical Officer of Health; he also thought the total possible storage capacity of the City would exceed the figures mentioned by the Medical Officer of Health.
Lieutenant-Colonel RYAN addressed the Board.
Question-put and carried nem, con,
Water-Closets.-An application from Major JEFFREYS, R.E., for permission to erect two water-closets in the new Military Provost Prison, Garden Road, was submitted.
On the suggestion of Lieutenant-Colonel RYAN, it was agreed that the consideration of this application be postponed. Notice to Owners relative to Backyards.--Twelve applications for exemption from constructing backyards were considered, and it was agreed to grant the applications in the following cases, No. 11 Aberdeen Street, No. 57 Queen's Road Central, 8 Cochrane Street, No. 1 D'Aguilar Street, No. 25 Gage Street, No. 3 Pokfulam Road; but to refuse the application in reference to No. 15 D'Aguilar Street, 2 Possession Street, No. 196 Hollywood Road, Nos, 5 and 7 Pokfulam Road, and No. 114 Wellington Street.
Relative to applications of this nature it was agreed that the initials of members of the Board on the circulating cover should be taken to indicate acquiesence in the recommendations of the Board's officers, and in the absence of adverse minutes, the Secretary with the consent of the President could inform applicants at once, instead of submitting the applica- tions at the meeting of the Board.
Concreting. Application for exemption from concreting the ground floors of Nos. 1 and 2 College Gariens, Nos. 23 and 25 Caine Road, and No. 56 Peel Street were submitted. It was agreed that these applications be refused.
Lime-washing Return.--A tabulated statement of the lime-washing done in the City of Victoria during the fortnight ended 5th June, 1900, was laid on the table.
On the suggestion of Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE, it was agreed that in future advertisements relative to lime-washing should only be inserted in the paper during the second month of the different periods allowed for the lime-washing to be
done.
Mortality Statistics for this Colony for the weeks ended 19th and 25th May, 1900, were laid on the table.
Bubonic Plague (Bombay City).A statement from the Secretary to the Bombay Government, showing the number of Plague cases and deaths in Bombay City from 24th April, 1900, 19 7th May, 1900, was laid on the table.
The President moved---
That strangers be requested to withdraw.
The Medical Officer of Health seconded,
Question-put and agreed to.
A confidential meeting was then held.

removeable, and
(d.) Projections to be formed at points suitable to serve as gun posi-

2. Subject to the military considerations of which you are separately advised, I am prepared to concur in the opinion expressed in paragraph 9 of your despatch under acknowledgment: assuming that the Trustees of the subscribers consider that they are bound by Resolution Three of the Jubilee Committee, and do not see their way to adopt Mr. ORMSBY's suggestion, which would have seemel preferable on other grounds, and begin the work at the Shaukiwan end.

SIR,
HONGKONG, 25th May, 1900.
In reply to your letter No. 587 of the 6th April, enclosing a copy of a despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the proposed con- struction of a road from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen, I have the honour to inform you that at a meeting held on the 18th instant, the Jubilee Committee (Executive) carefully considered the conditions upon which the Military Authorities are pre- pared to withdraw their objections to the road, and that the Committee see no reason why these conditions should not be complied with.
2. There has already been too much delay in starting the road, and the Com- mittee strongly urge that the preparation of working plans, specification, &c. may now be put in hand at once, and that tenders may be called for and the work com- menced at as early a date as possible.
3. The Committee further express the hope that in the event of the Public Works Department being too short-handed to make an immediate start, the matter may be referred back to them with a view to the employment of a local firm of Engineers, it being distinctly understood that the plans must be approved by the Director of Public Works who would also exercise a general supervision.
4. It is presumed that, in any case, before tenders are called for, the plans will be submitted to the Jubilee Committee for any remarks they may may have to make.
I have the honour to be.
Sir.
Your obedient Servant,
C. P. CHATER, Chairman, Jubilec Committee.

No. 979.
SIR,
COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,
1041
HONGKONG, 31st May, 1900.
I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th instant, stating that the Executive Committee of the Jubilee Committee had, at a meeting held on the 18th instant, considered the conditions upon which the Military Authorities are prepared to withdraw their objections to the construction of the road from Kennedy Town round Mount Davis to Aberdeen, being the first section of a carriage road round the Island of Hongkong in commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty's Accession to the throne, and saw no reason why such conditions should not be complied with.
You further state on behalf of the Committee that it is desirable that steps should be taken at once for the commencement of the work of construction and that, if the Public Works Department are not in a position to undertake the work, the matter should be referred back to the Committee with a view to the employ- ment of a local firm of Engineers for the purpose.
In reply, I am to inform you that the Director of Public Works has no officer he can spare for the work, and that the Government accepts the suggestion that the Committee should itself make arrangements for the construction of the road on the distinct understanding that the plans, specifications, and tender for the road must be first approved by the Director of Public Works and that the work of construction is placed under the general supervision of that officer.
I have further to state that the Government concurs in the suggestion contained in the last paragraph of your letter under reply.
I am to add that the Director of Public Works is of opinion that a rough trace of the road with no steeper gradient than I in 20 (made with a road tracer) should be opened in the first instance to prove if the proposed road is practicable. If the trace is approved by the Director of Public Works the proper survey and section for the road could then be made, and I am to enquire whether the Committee are prepared to adopt the Director of Public Works' suggestion.
I have the honour to be,
Sir.
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable

Referring to Notice to Mariners, No. 7 of 1899, Masters of Vessels and others are hereby informed that the erection of the new Lighthouse on Wonga Shoal, Port Adelaide, will be commenced at an early date, and that during the continuance of the work a temporary riding light will be exhibited between sunset and sunrise from the works in progress on that shoal.

During its transfer to the Wonga Shoal Tower a Light of the Third Order, revolving every thirty seconds (as at present) visible for about fifteen (15) miles, will be exhibited from a temporary tower erected on the position now occupied by the Port Adelaide Lighthouse.
Further notices as to the precise dates of exhibition of the Riding Light at Wonga Shoal, the removal of the existing Port Adelaide Light, the exhibition of the temporary light in lieu thereof, and the first exhibition of the permanent light on Wonga Shoal will be given in due course.

HENRY ARTHUR BLAKE,
Governor.
By His Excellency Sir HENRY ARTHUR 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.
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 mentioned 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 permis- sion that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.
And whereas, by Proclamation dated 9th day of March, 1900, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited for a period of four months from and including the 28th day of March, 1900, 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, SiP HENRY ARTHUR 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 July, 1900, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores, unless this Proclamation shall, in the meantime, be revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordinance 3 of 1884.

>
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH JULY, 1900.
Objects and Reasons.
Ordinance 8 of 1900, providing for a Land Court for the purpose of hearing and determining claims in relation to land in the New Territories, was assented to by the Governor on 28th March, 1900. It was duly submitted for Her Majesty's directions, and the Ordinance, generally, was approved; but the following amendments, on minor points, were suggested by the Secretary of State as desirable :-
(a.) The substitution, in section 18, of the words "by the Governor in Executive Council" for the words "by the Court," in relation to the fixing the rate of money rent in substitution of rent in produce. This is because the Court is not intended to be a perma- nent institution.
(b.) Provision being made, in section 19, for allowing payment of an annual money rent as an alternative to the payment of a capital sum, in cases of the redemption of a produce rent payable in perpetuity. (c.) The addition of a section providing that the Court shall be brought to an end as soon as the work for which it is appointed has been performed. Ordinance 8 of 1900 is repealed by this Ordinance and re-enacted with the amendments mentioned. One other amendment has been made, at the suggestion of the Mem- bers of the Land Court. They thought it desirable that the value of disputed claims, which might be dealt with by one member of the Court, should be raised, with a view to expediting the business of the Court. The maximum has, accordingly, been raised from two hundred to five hundred dollars. Appointments made under Ordinance 8 of 1900 have been continued as valid, and, in order to prevent any confusion in citing Ordinance 8 of 1900 and the present Ordinance by their short titles, the short title to the present Ordinance has been changed to The New Territories Land Court Ordinance, 1900."

Objects and Reasons.
Section 2 of this Bill, in effect, re-enacts section 3 of Ordinance No. 23 of 1899, except that the preposition "to" is inserted between the words "sold" and the words or be drunk by ". The Secretary of State has given instructions that this amendment should be made so as to prevent any difficulty which might, otherwise, arise in the construction of the law.
Section 3 effects increases in the following license fees, namely :-
(1.) Distillery License fees are increased from $150 to
$200 per annum.
(2.) The three different scales of Public-house License
fees are increased as follows
(a.) Where the annual valuation is under $1,000,
the fee is increased from $300 to $450.
(b.) Where the annual valuation is $1,000 or over, but under $4,200, the fee is increased from $360 to $600.
(c.) Where such valuation is $4,200 or over, the
fee is increased from $480 to $800.
(3.) Wholesale License fees and also Grocer's License
fees are increased from $240 to $500.
(4.) Chinese Wine and Spirit Shop License fees are
increased from $150 to $250.
The increases of fees mentioned in (1), (2) and (3) are new, it being considered reasonable that such an increase should be levied. The increase of fees mentioned in (4) was included in Ordinance 23 of 1899, which is repealed by section 5 of this Bill.
Section 4 provides for the coming into operation of the Ordinance, and for the application of the mtes in the new Schedule to licenses granted ou or after 1st November, 1900.

The penalty for its evasion is $25.
17
1088
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH JULY, 1900.
2. Detection of the Sick.-In the absence of notification this can only be effected by means of house to house visits. The Sanitary Board has power to institute such house to house visits in any district in which the disease may prevail and must define the limits of such district (Bye-law 25, Ordinance 15 of 1894).
The City of Victoria has been declared infected and four European officers of the Board with two Chinese constables are at present engaged in house to house visiting in No. 2 Health District while a Chinese doctor trained in Western medicine is making similar visits in No. 1 Health District, and two European Constables and a Chinese Constable are making visits in No. 9 Health District. Their hours of duty are from 5-8 a.m. and 2-5 p.m., and a copy of the instructions which have been issued to these officers is attached. The villages on the Kowloon Peninsula have also been declared infected and six European officers with three Chinese constables are engaged in house to house visits in Yaumati, Mongkoktsui, Taikoktsui, and Hunghom.
3. Removal of the Sick.--Ambulances for the removal of the sick are kept at the various Police Stations, at the Canton Wharf, and at the Board's matsheds at Praya East. Taipingshan, Yaumati and Hunghom, and sick persons are removed in these ambulances to the Tung Wah Hospital on application to the Sanitary Board, the Medical Officer of Health, or the Police, and are there examined by a Chinese Doctor trained in Western medicine and are either drafted at once by him to the Plague Hospital or detained under observation in case of doubt. In making any such application care should be taken to state distinctly whether the patient is alive or dead, for in the case of dead bodies, a dead- box is forwarded for the removal. The ambulance is attended by a Chinese constable who conveys the details concerning the case to the Hospital Authorities.
Heavy wooden boxes, with rubber washers fitted to the lids are used for the removal of dead bodies to the Government Mortuary: these are kept at the various Police Stations and at the Board's matsheds and information concerning the death is forwarded on a card attached to the body.
4. Treatment of the Sick.-This is entirely in the hands of the Medical Department. The Government Hospital at Kennedy Town is supplemented by a series of Matshed Hospitals, also at Kennedy Town, which are managed by the authorities of the Tung Wah Hospital but are under the supervision of the Medical Department.
5. Disinfection of injected premises.-This is carried out by a European officer assisted by eight coloured foremen. a Chinese foreman and a varying number of coolies. As soon as it is known that a case of the disease has occurred at any house, a Chinese constable is sent from the nearest Police Station to detain all persons found therein (Bye-law 22, Ordinance 15 of 1894), and the officer in charge of the disinfection proceeds to the house to ascertain how many persons are detained there. He then procures, either from the matshed at Praya East or from the Disinfecting Station, as many suits of Government clothing as are needed for the persons so detained, and having thus provided these persons with clothing he removes their own clothing, bedding, curtains, and carpets, to the Steam Disinfecting Station, the clothing being tied up in sheets dipped in a solution of Jeyes' fluid and conveyed through the streets in baskets; persons who are able to obtain new or clean clothing from some uninfected premises are however not detained after they have discarded their infected clothing and handed it to the Inspector for disinfection. New goods, silk clothing which has not been recently worn, furs and leather goods are not removed to the Steam Disinfector, but must as a general rule remain on the premises until they have been fumigated. When the clothing, etc. is returned (in the course of some two hours) from the Disinfecting Station, the persons who have been detained are required to put on their own clothing and must then leave the premises for some 5 or 6 hours while it is disinfected and cleansed. The Government clothing is returned to the Disinfecting Station to be steamed before it is again used. The people so displaced from their homes are at liberty to make use of the Board's matshed shelters until the processes of disinfection of the premises are complete.
The disinfection of the premises consists in the spraying of the walls with a solution of perchloride of mercury (1 in 1,000) or fumigation with free chlorine obtained by the addition of diluted sulphuric acid to chlorinated lime (1 quart of a 1 in 8 solution of the acid to each lb. of the chlorinated lime). Floors and furniture are then scrubbed with solution of Jeyes' fluid and the walls are then lime- washed, chlorinated lime being added to the lime-wash in the proportion of 1?2 lb, to the gallon.
6. Burial of the dead.---This is carried out under the superintendence of one of the Board's Officers, all bodies being buried at the Kennedytown Plague Cemetery, unless a special permit has been granted for burial elsewhere.
7. General sanitary precautions.--Chlorinated lime is supplied to all the public latrines for use in the buckets, and the officers of the Board are instructed to see that it is freely used.
A reward of 2 cents per head has been offered since January 16th for every rat brought to an officer of the Board, and some 25,000 rats have by this means been collected and destroyed.

That the Board recommend the Government to incorporate the provisions of the Imperial Public Health Act of

He therefore moved as an amendment-
That the matter be referred to Government and that they be asked to institute inquiries as to the enforcement in England of sub-section 7 of section 91 of the Imperial Public Health Act of 1875 and to obtain, if possible, information regarding the methods of preventing smoke nnisunces.

F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.
TUNG WAH HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 13th July, 1900.
SIR, I have the honour to submit for the information of His Excellency the Governor the quarterly report on the work of the Tung Wah Hospital during the three months, 1st April to 30th June, 1900.
I returned to the Colony and resumed the duties of Inspecting Medical Officer of the Hospital on 11th May.
During the quarter the Incinerator for the destruction of infected materials and refuse has been rebuilt, and is now in efficient working order.
A good microscope has been obtained from London at a cost of over £30 sterling, and is in daily use for purposes of diagnosis.
The following table shows the general statistics of the quarter :

I append a table showing in detail the Admissions and Mortality during the quarter, with the proportion of cases treated by European and Chinese methods respectively.
Of the 905 admissions, 329 were under European treatment, 351 under Chinese native treatment, 2 were transferred to the Lunatic Asylum, 5 to the Government Civil Hospital, 57 to Kennedy Town Infective Diseases Hospital, 159 to the Plague Branch of the Tung Wah Hospital at Kennedy Town, and 2 cases of Plague were removed to the country under permit from the Medical Officer of Health.
Of the fatal cases, 120 were already in a dying condition at the time of admission, and when these moribund cases and the 225 cases transferred elsewhere as described above are deducted from the total admissions, there remains a net total of 560 cases that were actually treated in the Hospital. Of these, 251, or 45 per cent., were treated by Dr. CHUNG, and 309, or 55 per cent., by the six native doctors. Thus, while Dr. CHUNG has during the quarter had 45 per cent. of the cases under his treat- ment according to Western methods, in addition to all responsibility connected with the transferred cases while they were in the Hospital, each of the native doctors has been responsible for on an average only 9 per cent. of the actual inmates of the wards. When it is borne in mind that until three-and- a-half years ago no cases were treated by European methods, the progress that has been made in the growth of Western treatment in the Tung Wah Hospital is noteworthy.
Two obstetric cases, both from the Po Leung Kuk, were attended by Dr. CHUNG, who also fre- quently renders similar service in the homes of the poor in the neighbourhood of the Hospital.
One hundred and fifty-five dead bodies, 114 male and 41 female, were received into the Hospital persons who died Mortuary from outside to await burial. In 32 of them, as also in 42 bodies of within the Hospital itself, internal examination was considered necessary, and they were removed to the Government Mortuary for post-mortem section.
Free burial was provided by the Hospital for 501 persons.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JULY, 1900.
1133
Twenty-one thousand three hundred and three persons, 15,521 male and 5,782 female, received advice from the native doctors in the Out-Patient Department.
Two hundred and eighty-three Destitutes were temporarily housed and fed. Fifty-three Vaccinations were performed.
The Plague Branch Hospital was re-opened on 18th May, and is still in use.
detail regarding this at the close of the epidemic.

We visited the Tung Wah Hospital to-day and found the place clean and in good order. We observed that the furnace for burning condemned clothing is not working for want of a flue.*
We think this is a great pity and would strongly recommend that a new flue be provided and fixed without delay, as we are informed that all condemned clothing has now to be sent to Kennedy Town to be destroyed.

A BILL
ENTITLED
An Ordinance to further amend The Kowloon
Godowns Tramways Ordinance, 1897.
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 Kowloon Godowns Short title. Tramways Amendment Ordinance, 1900.
2. This Ordinance shall be construed as one with Ordi- Construction. nance No. 18 of 1897 (as amended by Ordinance No. 9 of 1898) hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance, and those two Ordinances and this Ordinance may be cited together as the Kowloon Godowns Tramways Ordinances, 1897 to 1900.
of Ordinance
3. Section 5 of the principal Ordinance is hereby amended Amendment by striking out the words "two steel grooved rails, which of section 5 said rails" and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the words No. 18 of "rails of such material and type as".
1897.
Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Ordinance is to enable the Company to use a different kind of rail from the old steel grooved rail which was intended to be used when Ordinance No. 18 of 1897 was passed. Rails of another type have since been found more durable. When this Ordinance is passed it will still be necessary for the Company to obtain the approval of the Director of Public Works before the rails proposed to be used can be laid down. So long as the Director of Public Works is satisfied with the material and type of rail it seems unnecessary to insist upon the use of the steel grooved one.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 12th April, 1900.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit the following report on the schools under my supervision during the year 1899.
2. GENERAL STATISTICS.-Table No. V shews the changes which have taken place in the number and class of schools and in the number of scholars during the last ten years, and enables a comparison to be made with the years 1869 and 1879.
3. A reduction in the number of Government Schools was commenced in the year 1892. In that year there were 6 English and 28 Chinese Schools compared with 5 English and 7 Chinese in 1899. The number cannot be reduced any further at present unless the school at Pokfulam, which last year had an average attendance of only 11 scholars, should be closed. I am loth to recommend the
closing of an old school; but unless there should appear to be a prospect of an increase to the Chinese population in the neighbourhood, this school ought not to be kept up. Of the 22 schools closed during the last seven years 11 have been replaced by Grant-in-Aid Schools. At one time or another seven other Grant-in-Aid Schools were started with the intention of replacing Government Schools, but five of them are no longer in existence, and two are closed for the time being. Nine of the schools therefore remain unreplaced, and it is much to be regretted that five of them were ever closed. Education by means of Grant-in-Aid Schools is cheaper than education by Government Schools, but it is subject to frequent interruptions owing to difficulties with teachers and landlords, and I believe that if the Government Schools referred to had remained open, the attendance at them would by now have more than justified their existence. The remaining schools, four in number, were in small isolated hamlets and should never have been opened.
4. The decrease in the Grant-in-Aid Schools dates from 1895 when there were 83 Chinese Schools open as against 73 in 1899. I am afraid that in the near future the number will be still further reduced by the closing of schools in Victoria unless circumstances change very much. The general increase in rents is pressing severely on some of the_schools and certain movements of population are also adversely affecting the schools in the Western Districts.
5. The total number of children on the rolls for the year under review is the largest on record. The number of scholars learning English continues to increase and the number of girls on the rolls is only four less than in the year 1893 in which the highest number occurs.
6. I have inserted in Table V a column which perhaps does not properly belong to it but which is certainly of interest. It shews the ratio which the expenditure on education bears to the general revenue of the Colony. It has now sunk to a very low figure. This is, of course, due in some part to the increase in the attendance and in the fees charged at Queen's College during the last ten years. The fees last year amounted to over $27,000 and it is only natural to wish that some portion at any rate of this large sum could be diverted to Education and not be lost altogether in the general revenue of the Colony. The net expenditure on Education is now only 1.66 per cent of the revenue.
6. The following Tables enable a more detailed comparison to be drawn between the years 1893 ---the last normal year, as the statistics for every year since have been affected by the plague-and 1899.

I am much afraid that unless schools in Victoria are given an increased grant to compensate for the higher rents which landlords now demand, the loss of 15 Chinese Schools and 700 scholars will never be made up. There is a noticeable loss in Kowloon of 6 schools and 280 scholars.
7. The unaided schools for Chinese (i.e., Kaifong schools) number 100 with an attendance of 2,195 scholars. One of the schools is a girls school and seven are English schools. The fees vary according to the locality. In Chung Wan (the Central District) the average school fee is fifteen dollars a year whilst in the villages it is as low as three dollars. It may be said that the average school fee in a school in which Chinese is taught is nine dollars and in one in which English is taught
seventeen.
8. SCHOOL FEES.-All the Chinese Grant-in-Aid Schools are free, but with one exception the English Schools charge fees varying from $30 a year to $6. In the English Division of the Belilios Public School a fee of $6 a year is charged, but education in the other Government Schools which are under the Inspectorate is free. It is almost time, in my opinion, to raise the fee at the Belilios Public School to $12 a year, and it is worth considering whether a small fee-say, $3 a year-should not be charged in the Chinese Division which is now very well attended.
9. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE -The Average Daily Attendance in 1899 was 4,418. That in the Grant- in-Aid Schools alone was 3,683. The corresponding figures for 1898 are 4,281 and 3,581. The ratio of the average daily attendance to the average monthly enrolment in 1898 was 81 per cent. and in 1899, 83 per cent. In the Grant-in-Aid Schools the highest average attendance-4,170-was in April ; in July the average attendance had dropped to 3,165, or 24 per cent. This decrease was, no doubt, largely due to the plague. In the Chinese Division of the Belilios Public School where the attendance is naturally very quickly affected by epidemics the average attendance dropped from 181 in May to 64 in June and in July stood at 70.
10. In the Chinese Schools in the villages the attendance falls off most remarkably at the end of the year.
After the beginning of the eleventh moon-which, in 1899, fell on the 3rd December--any excuse is good enough to stay away from school and at that time of the year to recommence attending school would be out of the question. It could only be thought of after the New Year. How the attendance is affected during the last three months of the year will be seen from the subjoined Table which shews the ratio that the average daily attendance in November and in December bears to that in October.

The three classes of schools are arranged in the order in which they are examined. After the annual examination there is a temptation in all schools for boys and masters to take things easily; but in the English schools fees are charged and the education given is a special one having a distinct money value; whilst in the Chinese Schools, which boys usually leave unable to read or write anything beyond single words, the money value of the education given is not apparent and parents are naturally laxer in insisting on regular attendance.
11. RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS.-I reported fully on the results of the examina- tions of the Government District Schools in my letter No. 23 of the 28th February. The results of the examinations of the Grant-in-Aid Schools will be found in Tables VI, VII and VIII, in which the actual number of passes and failures in cach standard and the percentage for each school will be found,

12. In paragraph 13 of my report for the year 1897 I said that the standard required in class III was somewhat higher than the one to which these schools had been accustomed. From the subjoined Tables an exact comparison may be drawn between the year 1895 and the year 1899:-

In each standard the percentage of passes is less than it was in 1895 and the difference is particularly noticeable in the seventh standard in ordinary subjects and throughout all the standards in special subjects. Despite the larger number of scholars examined, the number taking up special subjects is less than half what it was in 1895. This is a natural consequence of the increased difficulty in obtain- ing a pass, and is not altogether to be regretted. But it is very unsatisfactory to find that whilst in 1895 there were 212 scholars examined in the three highest standards, in 1899 there were only 155. This falling-off is the more noticeable as the total number of scholars examined has risen from 947 to 1.166.
13. BELILIOS PUBLIC SCHOOL.-Since Mrs. BATEMAN'S departure from the Colony on leave, Mrs. TUTCHER has acted as Headmistress. A decrease in the number of scholars on the rolls in the English School is compensated for by an increase in the average attendance. In the Chinese School there is little difference to note between the last two years. The plague affected the attendance in both divisions in the summer, but in the English School the effect was not so noticeable and the recovery more complete than in the Chinese School. The annual examination was held in July. There were 99 scholars present in the English School, as against 93 in 1898. Of these, 50 were in the Upper School and 49 in the Infant School. The corresponding figures for 1898 were 55 and 38. Out The number examined in the Chinese School was 87 compared with 113 in the previous year. of 156 scholars on the register of the English School at the end of the year 50 were Chinese. Of these, 20 studied their own language in the Chinese School for an hour-and-a-half in the afternoons. There is no change to report in the curriculum of either school, but steps have been taken to introduce more modern text-books into the English School and to systematize the education given in the Chinese.

14. GOVERNMENT DISTRICT SCHOOLS.-The number of the Government District Schools was reduced by three at the end of 1898 in the manner stated in my report for that year.
The villagers of Stanley, though they were encouraged by me to do so, failed to start a Grant-in-Aid School for the study of Chinese; but the Female Education Society which has maintained a Chinese Girls School at Stanley for the last sixteen years, took up the work and turned their school into a Mixed school, engaging a qualified man to teach the boys. The school has been well attended and two-thirds of the scholars are boys. The average attendance which in 1898 was 21 rose to 41 in 1899, and as the average attendance at the Government School in 1898 was only 24, it is clear that no injury to education has been caused by the withdrawal of the Government.
15. Although Chinese is no longer taught in the Government School at Wongnaichung, no Chinese School has been opened in the village.
cent.
16. The average attendance at the four schools which teach English shews an increase of 14 per It has reached the limit of accommodation, and in the case of the two schools at Saiyingpoon and Wantsai, has passed a little beyond the point beyond which the teaching can remain as effective as is desirable.
17. Ten boys competed for the Free Scholarships at Queen's College in March, and four scholar- ships were awarded. Two of the successful boys had been educated at the Saiyingpoon school, one at Wantsai and one at Wongnaichung. There were no competitors from the Yaumati school.
18. No change has been made in the curriculum of the English Schools beyond the introduction of translation in the Fourth Standard and the substitution of the elements of grammar for geography in the second.
19. Some slight progress, though not so great as I had expected, has been made in the substitu- tion in the Chinese Schools of a system of teaching Chinese adapted to elementary schools in place of the time-honoured system in force in China.
20. The boys are indebted for their prizes to the generosity of Chinese.
21. The post of Master of the Yaumati School falling vacant in April was filled by the appoint- ment of Mr. NG FUNG-CHAU at a salary of $300 a year rising by annual increments of $24 to $540. A sum of $60 has also been provided out of which an Examination Grant is made to the teacher at the end of the year, the amount of the grant varying with the report of the Inspector of Schools on the examination and on the general conduct of the school. As occasion arises it is proposed to extend this system of partial payment by results to other schools. The Yaumati School is the only school in the Kowloon Peninsula in which English is taught and it is attended by boys from Hunghom, Shamshuipo, and Kau-lung-t'ong. It occupies hired premises next to a Chinese machinery shop, but the future of the school is assured and permanent quarters ought to be provided on the site which was reserved for this purpose many years ago.
22. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-The number of grant-in-aid schools on the roll is 96 compared with 100 on the roll in 1898. Qne new school, a mixed Chinese school under the management of the Roman Catholic Mission, has been opened at Aberdeen, where there was previously no school for girls, and the following five schools have been closed :---
The Basel Mission School at Matau-ch'ung.
The Berlin Ladies Mission Queen's Road West School.
The Roman Catholic St. Theresa School.
The Roman Catholic Cathedral School, Division II.
and The Wesleyan Mission Kennedytown School.
23. The school at Matau-ch'ung, though only now removed from the roll, has been closed for three years.
It is a Hakka school, but there is another school for Hakkas in the village of To'kwa- wan, distant half-a-mile. The average attendance in these two schools in 1896 was 43, whilst the average attendance at To-kwa-wan alone last year was 67.
24. The Santa Theresa School was a girls school situated in Hollywood Road, and its scholars will be divided between two girls schools in the vicinity.
25. No school has taken the place of the Berlin Ladies Mission School in Queen's Road West, the Second Division of the Cathedral School and the Wesleyan Mission Kennedytown School, all of which were Chinese schools for boys. It is much to be regretted that no new schools take the place of the schools which have been closed. As I pointed out above there has been a loss of fifteen Chinese schools in Victoria alone during the last six years.

26. Out of the 96 schools on the roll only 87 were examined. Two schools were temporarily dispersed owing to the house in which they were located being rendered unsafe by the demolition of an adjacent house, and were excused examination, the grants being assessed on the results of the three preceding years. One school had to leave the premises occupied by it on a month's notice; a few of the scholars attended a school in the vicinity under the same management for the remainder of the year and were examined there. Four schools are closed pending the engagement of teachers. The teachers of two schools died during the
year.
With
27. The life of Chinese Grant-in-Aid Schools in Hongkong is precarious in the extreme. few exceptions they occupy hired rooms. Suitable premises are hard to find, and as they are rented only by the month the schools are liable to have to remove at very short notice. There is only one teacher to each school and his death or protracted illness ruins the school for the year, and good teachers with the requisite qualifications are not easily met with.
28. Through the kindness of the Committee I was again enabled to hold the written examina- tion of the four highest standards of the English Grant-in-Aid Schools in the City Hall.
This course was adopted last year on the advice of my predecessor, Dr. EITEL, and I have every reason to be satisfied with the result.
29. Another case of fraud in which two Masters were implicated was detected at the annual examination of a Chinese school and was punished in the usual way by making a deduction from the grant and by disqualifying the teachers from teaching in Grant-in-Aid School in future. I gather from one of the Indian Education Reports that in such cases the teachers are prosecuted and I am of opinion that this should be done in future in Hongkong.
30. Mr. J. G. DA ROCHA was appointed assistant examiner in Portuguese.
31. Two years ago I pointed out that 99 per cent. of the boys and 93 per cent. of the girls in Chinese Grant-in-Aid Schools were in the three lowest standards. I have tabulated below the returns made by each school at the time of examination, and it appears from them that with the exception of Girls Schools in Class III more than half the scholars spend not more than a year in any particular school. A small percentage may have attended other Grant-in-Aid Schools in previous years, but the number cannot be large. In considering the educational problems of Hongkong these two facts are worth bearing in mind.

32. THE KOWLOON SCHOOL.-It has been decided to open a Government School in Kowloon for the teaching of English. A school house and teacher's quarters are to be presented to the Colony by Mr. Ho TUNG, and the buildings are in course of erection.
33. STAFF. From the 16th March to the 7th July I was acting as Registrar General, and from the 19th July to the 30th September I was absent from the Colony on vacation leave and the Revd. T. W. PEARCE acted as Inspector of Schools.
34. Mrs. BATEMAN the Headmistress of the Belilios Public School, was granted leave on the 14th March and Mrs. TUTCHER, who had returned from leave on the 18th February, has since acted as Head- mistress. Miss LEY KUM, who was appointed Temporary Assistant Teacher in March, 1898, resigned on the 17th February, 1899. On Mrs. BATEMAN's departure Miss ELLA KING was appointed Tem- porary Assistant Teacher.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JULY, 1900.
35. Mr. TANG TSUNG-MUN, Assistant Teacher in the Saiyingpoon School, resigned on the 28th February, 1899. On the 1st April, Mr. LI TAK-YUNG was transferred to the post from the Wantsai School and Mr. LAU TSUN-KWAI was transferred to Wantsai from Yaumati. Mr. NG FUNG-CHAU was appointed on the same date to be Master of the Yaumati School.
36. STATISTICS.--The Tables attached to this Report are not arranged in the same form as those attached to the Report for 1898.
Table I., which is a Summary of Statistics relating to all schools under the Inspectorate of Schools, gives the Totals of the old Tables II. and III.
Table II. which gives Statistics regarding attendance at Government Schools and the cost of each school, and Table III., which gives the corresponding statistics relating to the Grant-in-Aid Schools, contain the statistics to be found in the old Tables II, IV, V, VI, VIII and IX. The following particulars which there appeared to be no need to place on record are omitted:-Maximum Daily Attendance (Monthly Average), Minimum Daily Attendance (Monthly Average), and Average Monthly Enrolment.
Table IV. corresponds to old Table III.
Table V. is a summary shewing the number of schools under the Inspectorate and the number of scholars attending them during the last eleven years and in the years 1869 and 1879. It is substituted for old Table VII.
Table VI. is the same as old Table X except that the total figures for all the schools and for each class of school is given.
Table VII. shews the percentage of passes in each standard in each class of school.
Table VIII. gives the particulars fomerly contained in old Tables XI. and XII., but no comparison is drawn between the results of the year under review and of the preceding year.
There is no Table corresponding to old Table I. which merely repeated details contained in old Tables II. and VIII.
Formerly Composition and Dictation were given under one heading, and it was impossible to discover from the Table what was the result of the Examination in Composition alone. Dictation and Composition now appear in separate columns and the percentage of passes in each subject can be ascertained.

An amending Ordinance defining "Machinery was passed on the 6th November, 1899, under which lifts and machinery used as adjuncts to certain tenements are excluded from Machinery" exempted from rating by sub-section 5 of section 1 of the Rating Ordinance, 1888.

MEMORANDUM
ON THE
INFLUENCE OF RATS IN THE DISSEMINATION OF PLAGUE.
Introduction.
Recognition of the
Phoenicians and
Hindus.
Recognition by the
inhabitants in endemic areas of
BY
PROFESSOR W. J. SIMPSON, M.D., F.R.C.P.,
Lecturer on the Hygiene of the Tropics, London School of Tropical Medicine.
1. The destruction of the rat as a powerful means of preventing plague in a country threatened with plague, or as a means of lessening the extent of the spread of the disease, may be claimed as a new practice recommended on the basis of what is now known concerning the important role which the rat, and to a less degree the mouse, plays in the propagation of plague. This knowledge is not altogether new though it has had to be acquired afresh, having been forgotten in the long interval which has elapsed since the last great epidemics of plague. In its fresh acquisition in recent epidemics much more has been learnt than was previously known, and the new information is of the highest practical importance.
2. The Philistines, or ancient Phoenicians, recognised a relationship between mice connection by the and plague, for, when their towns were attacked by the disease, it is recorded that they made propitiatory offerings to their gods of images of their buboes, and of the mice that inarred the land. The inhabitants of Hindustan were at one time familiar with the connection between rat mortality and plague, for in some of their Purans, written more than 800 years ago, they are instructed to leave their dwellings immediately they notice a mortality among rats. The inhabitants of the Ghurwal and Kamaon regions on the Himalayas, where plague is endemic, put this advice into practice at the present time whenever plague breaks out among them. They know well the meaning of an unusual mortality among rats, and on this becoming noticeable they leave the village and betake themselves to the hills. Drs. Planck, Francis, Pearson, Hutcheson, and Thompson, in their investigation into plague, or Maha-mari as it is called by the natives of these districts, refer to the mortality of the rats, which they point out as preceding the out- break of plague among the inhabitants. Dr. Francis says, "A remarkable feature in connection with an outbreak of mahamurree was the death in the first instance of the rat." In Syria, also, the mortality among rats was well-known to be the accompani- ment of plague.

3. In Yunnan, another centre of plague in which the disease has been endemic for at least 50 years, it is to be gathered from the reports of the French Missionaries and of M. Rocher, now the French Consul in Liverpool, who visited Yunnan in 1870, that the Chinese inhabitants are acquainted with the rat mortality preceding outbursts of plague. The rats, it is stated, are first attacked, and when they sicken they leave their holes in troops, stagger about, fall over each other, and drop down dead. From the fact of the rat mortality preceding the plague, the Chinese hold that plague is a soil disease.
In Canton, in 1894, no fewer than 22,000 dead rats were buried outside one of the principal gates of the town by Chinese officials at the commencement of an epidemic of plague which destroyed 80,000 of the inhabitants.
It was further observed in this epidemic that when plague continued for some time in a district the rats disappeared, while in those districts where the mortality among the rats began to increase there the plague also extended.

4. Rat mortality and plague again showed themselves together in the epidemic at The identity of rat Hong Kong in 1894. Hitherto the connection between them was founded only on the plague and human plague established frequency with which they had been observed preceding or accompanying one another, in the epidemic at and the relation to each other, though a matter of common opinion in the endemic areas, had never been absolutely proved. Now, however, by the discovery of the plague bacillus in man, and the observations and experiments which this discovery permitted to be made Kitasato and Yersin were able to establish that mice and rats could be infected with the plague bacillus, causing in them a similar disease to plague in man, the prin- cipal lesions being buboes, extravasations, and congestions in the internal organs, and that when this disease was produced in rats and mice the glands and organs contained the bacillus in extraordinary numbers.

5. The importance of these facts, in conjunction with the often-repeated history of The practical bear- rat mortality and plague, is immense, especially in regard to its practical bearing on the in Hong Kong not prevention of plague. It is a matter of great concern that its importance is not sufficiently realized in the early realised to be put into practice everywhere, even at the present day. It was not realised stages of the Bom- in the early days of the plague in Bombay in 1896, for when attention was called to the 1896, but put into enormous number of dead rats it was ascertained that for more than a month previous Calcutta in 1896. to the outbreak in Mandvie rats had been observed to have been dying in unusual numbers. Dr. Surveyor found the plague bacillus in the rats found dead in large numbers in the grain depots, streets and drains of the city, and proved by the cultural tests to which he subjected the bacillus that it was the same as the plague bacillus in
man.
Later in the year certain cases of plague appeared in Calcutta, and in a grain depot with business relations with Bombay rats began to die. They comported themselves in the same way as recorded in those localities where the unusual occurrence had proved to be the precursor of plague. They left their usual hiding places and came out into the open in great numbers. They were very ill, and in a dazed or stupified condition, their eyes were watery and bleary, their coats partially deprived of hair, and they hobbled about with difficulty, staggering and falling over one another. They had lost their timidity for man in their evident desire for fresh air, and they failed in energy even to attempt to escape when approached. The sick and the dead were heaped together. In one day 100 dead were found. Sick rats killed and examined had their glands in the groin axilla or neck enlarged, congested and agglutinated together, their internal organs congested, and their spleen and liver enlarged and full of plague bacilli.
Profiting by the occurrences in Hong Kong and Bombay, it was determined to make strenuous efforts to stamp out the rat plague, which appeared only to be the precursor of human plague. For this purpose the floors were taken up, the rats were killed, and the floors and runs were flooded with crude carbolic acid, with the result that the epidemic among the rats whose mortality had mounted up to 100 a day, was arrested. Similar treatment of some of the adjacent houses to which rats had migrated put an end to the epidemic, and no cases of plague occurred in that locality.

6. During the first epidemic of plague in Bombay, some very important observa- Further observa- tions were made bearing on the influence of the rat, as an agent in the propagation of tion in the Bombay plague. It was noticed that the infection was limited in epidemic form for a long time as a disseminator to the first locality affected, notwithstanding that there was a great exodus of the inhabitants from the infected centre to other districts of the town. This could not be explained by supposing that all who fled were healthy people, for some of the refugees died from plague immediately they had reached the districts. It was further observed that the infection did not follow the line of the greatest emigration of the inhabitants, but closely corresponded with the emigration of and mortality among the rats.
When- ever there was a mortality of rats in one of the districts it was a sure precursor of plague, and until the mortality of rats occurred the district was comparatively free of plague. This mortality of rats usually began in the warehouses and grain depots which had business relations with each other, and from the rats it spread to the workinen in these warehouses and grain depots. Similar facts were noticed also in the jails. The jail which kept free from a rat mortality was also free from plague, but the jail in which the rats began to die was soon afterwards a plague infected building with its prisoners attacked by plague, and this occurred though the jail was exceedingly clean and in a good sanitary condition. In houses also the mortality of rats prior to the occurrence of plague among the inmates was a frequent and notable fact. Indeed, the connection between the appearance of dead rats in a house, and the likelihood of the inhabitants being subsequently attacked by plague, became so thoroughly understood that often the more intelligent of the inhabitants gave notice to the Health Department immediately a dead rat was found on the premises in order that the department might take preven-

tive measures. Dr. Weir, the Health Officer in his report on the plague in Bombay, says "as the epidemic proceeded people became alarmed in regard to the danger indicated by dead rats, and they commenced to write to us in the following strain as this letter will show, 'As some dead rats were found in the house I am living in, and as I am afraid it is infected with plague, I want to vacate it temporarily and live in some sheds,' and the letter finishes with a request to occupy some municipal land." This intimate relationship between the mortality of rats and the propagation of plague was observed not only in Bombay, but in many parts of the Bombay Presidency.
Migration of rats was also observed. Healthy rats in an infected district seem to understand the danger to which they are subjected, and will move away from the locality. The rats' migration constitutes a danger to other districts. Dr. Weir observed this migration into a new district some time before sickness or mortality was noticed among the rats.
One of many examples is the following:--At a residence in a large garden on Bandra Hill. near Bombay, rats were seen in the house or garden till the 21st of January, 1897. About this time the garden and house were invaded with rats, and shortly after some of them died, others were killed by cats, and these became afterwards ill. Ten days after, one of the servants of the house, who had not been to Bombay for weeks, became ill and died of plague.
7. The manner of infection from rat to rat has been experimentally shown to be rat to rat have been produced by inoculating healthy rats with plague bacilli, by smearing their nostrils with plague bacilli, by feeding them on food contaminated with plague bacilli, or on organs of a rat which has died of plague, and by keeping them in the same cages as sick or dead rats. There are in an infected house articles or objects soiled by plague patients or by sick rats to infect healthy rats. As soon as several rats are affected with plague it is only a matter of time before the disease assumes an epizootic form among them. This epizootic form of plague can only be stopped in its early stages by killing and afterwards destroying the rats.
The modes of infec- tion from rat to
man are not so clear.
There are several explanations.
In 1896 a man
The rat also appears to be more easily infected at times than man. from Bombay, whose wife had died of plague, brought her clothes home to his village, which had hitherto been quite free from plague. In a short time the rats in this man's house began to be sick and die, after which the inmates were attacked with plague and died, the man himself not being attacked until five of his relatives were affected.
8. The precise mode by which the rat infects man is not so clear as the fact that it is an agent in propagating the disease. There have been cases in which the sick rat has bitten man and plague has followed, but instances of this kind are rare. There are other instances in which then engaged in removing rats dead of plague have been soon afterwards attacked with plague, while others in the same building not engaged in these operations have remained free, indicating that the infection from the rats is not in the air.
Hankin records a case of this kind in a mill in which there were several thousand workmen. Rats were noticed to die in large numbers, 20 coolies were employed to remove the dead rats, out of the 20 no fewer than 12 were attacked by plague, while the rest of the workmen and others in the building remained healthy.
Simonds also records an example of rat infection in two women, caused by handling dead rats. The inhabitants of a village in the Punjaub were turned out of their village and placed in camp because of a commencing mortality among rats.
While in camp two women were permitted to visit their home, and found on the floor of their house some dead rats; these they picked up and threw into the street, they returned to camp and a few days later they were attacked with plague.
Two explanations are advanced as to the method of infection. One is that the plague bacilli on the rat infects man through wounds or scratches on the hands or feet. The other is that the fleas which infest rats, and which have been found to contain plague bacilli, convey the infection to man, as well as to healthy rats. It has been observed that rats dead only a few hours are more dangerous than those which have been dead some time and are quite cold, and it is surmised that this is because, in the recently dead rat the fleas are still on the body, while in a rat dead for more than a few hours all the parasites have left its body. It has been conjectured that fleas from dead rats may be the means of spreading plague to an adjoining house, even when the first infected house has been evacuated by its inhabitants, when steps have not been taken to dispose of any dead rats in the house, and proper measures of cleansing and dis- infection are not undertaken. Without endorsing these views it is important to re-

Over and over again the history of plague records first of all the arrival into cipal agent, a healthy district of a man or woman infected with plague or with infected clothing: later, a mortality among the rats of the house or neighbourhood, and finally an out- break among the inhabitants. There is one form of plague which may take a different course, and that is pneumonic plague. This disease is very infectious from man to Further man, and there may be an outbreak with or without the assistance of the rat. than this, when an epidemic is once established, the importance of the rat as a dissemi- nator of the disease decreases in proportion to the number of cases of the disease, and it may happen that a severe epidemic prevails without it being possible to find either a sick or dead rat.
realised even now,
10. The importance of the rat as a disseminator of plague has not, until recently. This fact has not been grasped any more effectually in Europe than it was in the East. In Oporto,
In Oporto, the been sufficiently usual history repeated itself, as it is still likely to be repeated elsewhere in future epidemics. In Oporto, rats and mice were observed to be dying in the docks and their neighbourhood several weeks before the first case of plague occurred among the wharf porters. The sign of danger was obvious in the mortality of rats, but it was not under- stood. In the meantime, plague was not only established at Oporto, but it was carried by Portuguese sailors to Paraguay in South America, where by similar means it has obtained a hold on the American Continent.

and miet in a
methods adopted
12. Measures undertaken with the object of destroying as many rats as possible in Destruction of rats a country which has relations, territorial or commercial, with an infected locality healthy country reduces an influential source for the propagation of the disease, and if that destruction before plague is can be effected before plague is imported, the chances of the disease developing into imported, and the an extensive epidemic is very much lessened. It is with this view that in Denmark, for this purpise. France, and Algeria the destruction of rats has been begun, a small sum being given for so many rats that are killed. The means adopted are the employment of the rat catcher, poisoning by the use of arsenic, phosphorus and strychnine mixed with other substances, and the suffocation of rats by the propulsion of smoke, sulphur fumes, or sulphide of carbon into their runs or into drains. By the latter method a large number of rats have been destroyed in Algeria. The drains and sewers were stopped up, and the rats suffocated by fumes of sulphurous acid and sulphide of carbon pumped in. Crude carbolic acid also is a useful agent to be used when the rats are dying of plague. Poured down the holes and runs it served its purpose in Calcutta. Carbolic acid is also a disinfectant, the smell of which according to Hankins's experience in India, is particularly disliked by rats, and the use of which will assist in driving them from a house or building,
Mice can be got rid of by infecting a few with Loeffler's typhi murium bacillus. It sets up in them a train of symptoms not unlike typhoid fever, and is highly infections among mice. Small pieces of bread soaked in the fluid containing the bacilli may be placed in front of the mouse holes, or one or two mice may be caught and inoculated and then allowed to escape. The mice infect one another and the healthy feed on the bodies of those that have died. so that soon a destructive epizootic is raging among them. It was by setting up an epidemic of this kind in Thessaly when the crops were being destroyed by an enormous number of field mice, that the remainder of the harvest was saved.
The disease does not affect other animals besides mice and, unfortunately, the rat is only but slightly affected by it. A similar microbe, other than plague, has still to be found for the rat, and should be the subject of laboratory experiment.*
* Since this was written. Danysz has obtained some excellent results in destroying rats in Paris by inoculating a few with a pathogenic cocco-bacifins which causes in them a fatal infectious disease.

Measures to be adopted to prevent
sick rats.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JULY, 1900.
13. To prevent the importation of sick rats from an infected port, rats on board the importation of ship should be destroyed at the port of departure, on the voyage, and at the port of disembarkation. The destruction of rats on board ship is peculiarly difficult, and no method hitherto devised can be said to have proved entirely satisfactory. The safest, least offensive, and most convenient during the voyage is probably the generation of car- bonic acid gas in the hold three or four days before arrival in port. It is one which is re- commended by M. Pierre Apery to the Sanitary Council at Constantinople. The carbonic acid gas, by its density, spreads over the lower part of the hold and gradually penetrates into the crevices and holes. Any animal venturing into this lower stratum of the gas rapidly dies. The gas is odourless, non-inflammable, and not injurious to merchandise. It is easily generated by mixing chalk and a dilute acid in a leaden vessel or in a wooden tub that has been tarred. Nearly 24 lbs. avoirdupois of chalk give 8 cubic feet of carbonic acid gas. The acid required for this would be nearly 24 lbs. of oil or vitriol, which should be diluted with about eight times its volume of water before adding it to the chalk. Proportionate quantities of chalk and vitriol and water are required according to the cubic capacity of the hold and the thickness or depth of the layer of carbonic acid required. The vessel, so shaped and fixed as to prevent the contents being spilled over, should be placed in the lower part of the hold with the neces- sary quantity of chalk, and then the diluted oil of vitriol should be added either directly or from a pipe which has been led down from the upper part of the hold to the vessel. Before adding the vitriol some pieces of cheese or other article of food might with advantage be placed near the vessel or the centre of the hold. As the gas will only rise very slowly the depth of the layer of gas can be easily tested by letting down a lighted candle; immediately the carbonic acid gas is reached the flame is extinguished. Three or four hours after the generation of the gas has been completed, the hold, which during this time has been shut down, should be opened up and thoroughly ventilated so as to get rid of the carbonic acid gas. The state of the hold as to the safety or otherwise of anyone descending into it can easily be determined by letting down a lighted taper. So long as the flame is extinguished or burns feebly it is unsafe and the ventilation is not complete. This method can also be applied when the vessel arrives in port, though the most usual method, and one which has proved effective, is the pumping into the hold of the ship sulphurous fumes obtained from the sulphur furnace provided by the Port Health Authorities. If there are no special shafts down which the pipe conveying the sulphur dioxide gas can be passed, a sort of temporary shaft down to the lowest part of the hold is to be made by removal of some of the cargo. Whichever method is adopted, special care should be given to cargo vessels, which are often infested with a great number of rats. There is on record an instance in which. after sulphur fumigation of a cargo steamer of about 3,500 tons, no fewer than 16 deck buckets of rats were taken from the holds. Both methods can be applied when the cargo is still in the ship, and there should be in every port the necessary appliances. A third method of destroying rats, but one which can only be applied to the hold when empty. has been tried at Hamburg, and is reported as having given goo I results. It. consists in spraying into the hold a quantity of "Pictoline," which appears to be a chemical preparation containing certain diffusible gases mixed with sulphuric acid. Its use is injurious to merchandise owing to the sulphuric acid which it contains, and its application is therefore restricted to the destruction of rats in empty holds. Until the rats are destroyed the cables which moor the ship to the shore should have contrivances fastened on them to prevent rats getting from the ship on to the shore. There is in use in many places a sort of funnel-shaped apparatus, consisting of a tube of tin or iron, having on it a trumpet-like flange. The cable is put through the tube and any inter- vening space is stopped up. The apparatus is placed close to the ship. This arrange- ment prevents rats from creeping along the cables from the shore on to the ship, or from the ship on to the shore. Trains bringing merchandise from infected localities should also be inspected, in order that all rats may be killed and destroyed.
Measures necessary for the stamping
out of rat plague in u locality.
14. For the early stamping out of the plague epizootic among rats on shore, by the destruction and extermination of the rats, it is necessary that the information as regards mortality should not be left to chance observation. It is essential that in the event of a locality being threatened with plague on account of a neighbouring district being infected, or on account of any communication direct or indirect with plague-infected port, that a systematic and regular inspection of houses in the poorer quarters, and in the neighbourhood of the docks, warehouses, grain depots, and other buildings which are likely to contain rats should be made, in order to ascertain if there are any sick or dead rats. The inhabitants should also be warned to report the oc- currence of any mortality among rats. If the authorities are thus on the alert, there is no difficulty in recognising rat plague. As has already been stated, the rat leaves its hole, is dazed, bleary-eyed, hobbles about, staggers, falls and soon dies. Examination

after death shows its glands to be enlarged, congested and agglutinated, its internal organs to be congested, and its blood, spleen, liver and glands to be full of plague bacilli. These plague bacilli when stained look like diplo-bacteria, single or in pairs. They grow on nutrient agar, and if cultivated in a flask of bouillon to which has been added some oil, they grow down into the depths of the liquid and form beautiful stalac- tites. Cultures on agar or in bouillon inoculated into mice or rats reproduce the characteristic disease. On account of the disposition of the rats to leave their runs, when ill. the epizootic among them whether in a house, warehouse or street, soon attracts attention. In an infected locality, the number of rats to be seen, their peculiar behaviour and their obvious illness combined with an unusual mortality among them are phenomena which are not easily overlooked. If these occurrences are not noticed at the commencement and prompt measures are not undertaken the mortality among the rats becomes so widespread in a locality in which an epidemic is impending that it is impossible to escape attention, for dead rats are then to be found in the houses, depots and streets, and create a most objectionable nuisance. It is then rather late in the day to begin the campaign against the rats. Another fact to be borne in mind during the height of the epizootic in the infected locality is the likelihood of the sudden appear- ance of an unusual number of rats in one or more of the adjacent localities, and that this has an important bearing on the dissemination of the disease. Areas which were This is due to formerly free, or comparatively free, of rats become infested with them.
the emigration of healthy rats from the infected locality. Apparently urged by the instinct of safety the rats leave the locality which is bringing so much fatality to them and seek shelter in another place. The flight assumes the character of a more or less orderly retreat. It is not so much the spreading out in a circle in every direction, though this occurs to a greater or lesser extent, but it mainly consists in a distinct line In the Thana district in Western of march, the majority following the lead of the few.
India the rats' progress was observed to be from south to north; in Bombay it was from east to west and then to the north, and in Karachi it was from west to east. In some cases this migration in a particular direction explains the immunity of a village or town separated only by a river or stream or not separated by any such barrier from a severely infected locality. Rats migrating are likely to carry with them the germs of plague, which set up in time in the new locality a fresh epizootic. Thus, in a healthy district adjacent to an infected one, there may be noticed first of all a great immigration of rats, later, a growing sickness and mortality among the rats in isolated groups, and then still later a general epizootic among the rats. The migration is necessarily limit- ed in extent and slow in its progress, and it is because of these qualities that it can be dealt with effectually.
Plague is not a highly infectious disease in the sense that small pox, scarlet fever, or spotted typhus are, and the measures which have been proved effective against the spread of the latter disease have proved a signal failure in the case of plague. Why? Because neither small pox, scarlet fever, nor typhus are diseases of house vermin plague, on the other hand, is, and therefore unless we can eliminate this element in the sanitary problem, all other efforts are bound to be futile. Eliminate this element and the sanitary measures effective in these other diseases will be even more certainly and promptly efficacious in plague. Destroy rats and mice, and plague will be a manage- able disease; above all, destroy them in anticipation of the importation of plague.
The measures of destruction must be directed not only to the locality in which the rats are dying but also to the adjacent localities, and the disposition of the rats to migrate should be carefully borne in mind, so that on the first appearance of this phenomenon, the rats coming into a healthy locality may be destroyed.
Whatever methods may be adopted for killing rats, the dead rats should not be removed until boiling water, carbolic acid, or corrosive sublimate has been thrown plentifully over their bodies; on no account should they be removed while warm, without these precautions. They should be disposed of by burning. This may be done by removing them, under the precautions mentioned, to a place adapted for the purpose, or they may be burnt without removal by covering them with straw and pouring on them kerosine or other inflammable oil.

3. The admissions to the Hospital were 204 in excess of those of the previous year, the numbers being 692 as compared with 488. in 1898, the average strength of the Force being 716 as compared with 630 in 1898.
This large increase was to a great extent caused by admissions from the New Territory. Prior to the hoisting of the Flag in April, 1899, accompanied by the Director of Public Works and the Captain Superintendent of Police I spent some days in visiting the district and selecting the most suitable sites for Police Stations.
Malarial fevers have contributed the greatest number of cases, undoubtedly much of the fever has been occasioned by the temporary nature of the buildings in which the Police have of necessity been housed, when permanent brick buildings have taken. the place of the temporary buildings, mostly matsheds, I anticipate a considerable diminution in the number of cases of malarial fever.
The admission to Hospital from the various sections of the Force is given in the following

1194 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH AUGUST, 1900.
There were sixteen deaths amongst the members of the Force during the year, three less than in 1898; four of these occurred in the Hospital, viz., three Europeans and one Indian, the latter was a Police recruit and died of Phthisis; of the Europeans one died from Acute Peritonitis, one from Delirium Tremens and the third from Hyperpyrexia occurring in the course of fever.
Table I gives the admissions to the Hospital and the mortality during each month of the year; from this return it will be seen that August and September were the months in which the greatest number of admissions occurred.
Table II gives the average strength, rate of sickness and mortality.
Table III shows the admissions to the Hospital from the different stations and districts in each month of the year; to this return have been added the various stations in the New Territory.
Of the old Stations Aberdeen continues much healthier, there being only half the number of admissions there were in 1898.
Tsim Tsa Tsui (Water Police) Station contributed more than double the number of cases in 1898; this increase, which occurred chiefly amongst the Chinese, was due to the prevalence of beri- beri.
In the New Territory Un Long and Taipo contributed the largest number of admissions. The following table gives the total admissions to Hospital and deaths in the Force for the last ten years:

The number of admissions to the Hospital was 818 in excess of that in 1898, whilst the average strength of the garrison was only increased by 125.
The rate of mortality was increased in both the European and Indian Troops, that in the latter being more than double the rate in 1898; the number of deaths was 29 as compared with 21 in the previous year.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
The number of admissions is the greatest yet recorded in the history of the Hospital.
The increasing demand for hospital accommodation is likely to continue, as I have already pointed out the addition to the Colony of the New Territory has already contributed a large increase in the numbers of sick Police, there have also been many serious surgical cases admitted and several Chinese from the New Territory have availed themselves of the benefits to be derived from an institution of this sort.
I would here reiterate what I stated in my last report that it will be necessary for the Govern- ment to seriously consider the question of either considerably enlarging the present hospital or better still of erecting an entirely new hospital supplying increased accommodation and arranged more in accordance with the best modern practice.
During the year a scheme for training European female nurses has been inaugurated; three pro- bationers-one from Shanghai, one from Macao and another from Manila-have been appointed and there are already several names of applicants for vacancies on the Matron's list.
In the winter months lectures on elementary anatomy and physiology and on nursing were given to the probationers, and a course of lectures on midwifery to the Sisters.

years:

It will be seen that in addition to the large increase in the number of Police admitted there is a small increase in the Private-paying patients and Government servants; a marked diminution in the Board of Trade patients admitted, and a decrease in the number of destitutes.
The admissions and deaths in Hospital for the past ten years are as follows:--

The rate of mortality, 4.16 per cent, is by far the smallest recorded for the past six years.
The largest number of admissions occurred during the months of August and September, a similar fact has been recorded in the case of the sick Police so we may conclude that in 1899 these two months were the most unhealthy during the year.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
There were ten less admissions than in 1898.
During the year there were 9 deaths and 11 were transferred to Canton.
A report on the working of the Asylum by Dr. BELL, the Medical Officer in charge, is contained in Enclosure V.

There were 263 admissions during the year :--

In addition eleven were under observation and two in attendance.
The mortality of plague cases was somewhat higher than usual-81 per cent.
HOSPITAL HULK "HYGEIA."
This ship was moved and anchored off Kenndytown Hospital.
MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
There were 36 confinements during the year as against 24 in 1898, 15 were Europeans and 24 Chinese, there was one fatal case, that of a sampan woman; she was moribund when admitted, the cause of death being rupture of the uterus.
As I had anticipated, many more Chinese availed themselves of this institution, several being of the better class; there were 24 admitted as against 14 in the previous year.
PUBLIC MORTUARY.
Enclosure II. gives the return of dead bodies taken to the Mortuary and as far as possible the causes of death.
From this it will be seen that 1,669 bodies were received during the year-an increase of 355 as compared with 1898; particulars as to nationality and cause of death are given in the report of the Medical Officer in charge.

The total admissions to the Gaol was 4,789, or 793 less than in 1898; the daily average 434 or 77 less than in the previous year.
The total number of admissions to Hospital was 503 as compared with 298 in 1898.
Remittent fever caused 63 of them as against 24 in the previous year; dysentery and diarrhoea contributed more cases and 81 were admitted suffering from debility as against 14 in 1898.
There were five deaths from natural causes, one prisoner committed suicide by hanging himself and two were executed.
The New Warders' Quarters is in course of erection, when this building is finished the New Hospital will be available; it is at present occupied by the Warders.
TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.
There were 2,542 patients treated in this hospital during the year, a decrease of 456 as compared with 1898.
Of this number 419 were transferred to other institutions, viz.:-
Government Civil Hospital,
Kennedytown Hospital,
Lunatic Asylums, ........

Of the admissions 1,491 patients, or 58 per cent., were treated by the Chinese native doctors whereas 556, or 21 per cent., were under Western treatment.
There were 852 deaths as against 842 in the previous year, 268 being moribund on admission. Two thousand two hundred and sixty-one (2,261) Vaccinations were performed in Victoria and the outlying districts, an increase of 673 as compared with 1898.
The chief improvement during the year has been the erection of an Incinerator for destroying condemned clothing, bedding, &c.
The Directors having obtained a free grant of land between Market and Station Streets from the Government the foundation stone of an extension to the hospital was laid by His Excellency the Governor in November last.
This new building, I understand, is intended to supply further accommodation more especially for surgical cases; it includes an operating theatre, and there are also to be several sinal wards for maternity cases, the latter to be under the immediate care of the Resident Surgeon; in all some 76 extra beds will be provided.
After several consultations the plans were finally decided upon at a meeting of the Directors on the 10th March when Dr. CHUNG and myself were present.
Q
NEW TERRITORY.
Mr. Ho Nat Hop, a licentiate of the local College of Medicine, was appointed Chinese Medical Officer to the New Territory in April last and was stationed at Taipo, his duties being to attend to the minor ailments, mild attacks of fever, &c., occurring amongst the Civil Staff and the Police.
He regularly visits the several Police Stations and treats free any villagers who may apply for advice and medicine.
Free vaccination is also performed by him during the winter months.
VACCINE INSTITUTE.
The Vaccine Institute has been satisfactorily maintained and was in working order during the whole of the year with the exception of four months in the summer when Mr. LADDS was away on sick leave.
The lymph as usual was of excellent quality.

PRIVATE NURSING INSTITUTE,
During the
year the two Private Nursing Sisters along with the three probationers have been
housed at Westward Ho pending the erection of the Nursing Institute.
The services of the two Private Nurses have been in constant requisition during the year, they undoubtedly supply a long felt public need.
The amount of money received in fees during the year has been $1,165.56.
HEALTH OF THE COLONY.
The estimated population of the Colony for 1899 was 259,310.
There were 1,132 births and 6,181 deaths, of the latter 1,434 were from plague.
The birth rate was 43 per 1,000 as against 47 per 1,000 in 1898.
The death rate was 23.8 per 1,000 as compared with 22:30 per 1,000 in 1898; excluding the deaths from plague the death rate would have been 18.3 per 1,000.
The following figures gives the death rate in the different nationalities for the past two years :--

The increase amongst the Chinese was due to the greater number of cases of plague. Plague was again prevalent in an epidemic form: this is the first time that the Colony has been attacked by the disease in an epidemic form in two successive years.
Undoubtedly many cases must have been introduced as the disease was prevalent all round us, only in March knowledge of its presence at Pakhoi was obtained.
The disease was also prevalent in Canton and its districts, Wuchow being affected early in the year. It was also epidemic in Amoy and at Formosa.
From August 1898 to February 1899 inclusive only 9 cases were notified, the marked recurrence of cases, however, in houses previously infected shows that the bacilli are but dormant and in the ill ventilated, badly lighted and overcrowded Chinese dwellings which exist in this Colony only require certain atmospheric conditions to favour their growth and spread.
Early in April No. IX. Health District was declared infected, the disease became much more prevalent in May and in June, the remaining Health Districts were declared infected.
The disease did not reach its maximum until June, quite a month later than was the case in the previous year.
Fortunately very few Europeans were attacked this year.
As usual in epidemic years rinderpest was prevalent amongst the cattle in the Colony, practically all the dairies being affected.
The Legislature realising that much more radical measures must be taken to rid the Colony of this disease introduced and passed the Insanitary Properties Ordinance, 1899; practically this Bill will further the better sanitation of the Colony by doing away with back-to-back houses and by the provision of more light and ventilation to the Chinese dwellings in this Colony.
I attach to this the reports of:--
1. Government Civil Hospital.
2. Medical Officer in charge of Mortuary.
3. Medical Officer to Victoria Gaol.
4. Visiting Surgeon to the Tung Wah Hospital.
5. Medical Officer to the Lunatic Asylums.
6. Government Analyst,
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your obedient Servant.

Enclosure I.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
HOSPITAL Buildings.
The main portion of the Hospital has been maintained in an efficient state without any exceptional repairs; it is, however, time that the buildings should be painted and colour-washed throughout.
A great improvement would be effected by the introduction of electric light in place of the present means of lighting the Hospital with gas; in addition to a better illuminant the wards would be much cooler in the hot summer months--a great desideratum in a building such as this situated on the lower levels.
The question of providing Laundry and Wash-house accommodation is still in abeyance. I hope the necessary funds will soon be available for erecting and fitting up a suitable hospital laundry, the washing as at present conducted by Chinese dhobies is very unsatisfactory and ruins the clothing much sooner than would be the case had we a proper laundry.
The new Women and Children's Hospital and Nursing Institute to be built in commemoration of upon and Her Majesty's Jubilee have not yet been commenced; the plans, however, have been decided the sites selected, so that we may shortly expect to see these buildings in course of erection.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
The day room of the European Asylum was enlarged by including the verandah, the iron bars which formerly guarded the windows being renoved.
INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL AND HOSPITAL HULK Hygeia.
The Hospital at Kennedy Town was in use for the greater part of the year.
The Hygeia was transferred from its anchorage off Stonecutter's Island on the 17th March to be in readiness in case of need; it was only found necessary, however, to treat one case of plague there European--who recovered.
MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
This building was maintained in a satisfactory state of repair.
R
MEDICAL STAFF QUARTERS,
No alterations have been made during the year, this building also requires painting and colour- washing.
HOSPITAL PREMISES.
The grounds are in good order. A wall was erected to the west of the Women's Hospital as it was found that the Chinese employees were in the habit of entering and leaving the premises at this place. An improvement would be effected by concreting the vacant space immediately to the west of the Women's Hospital.

Deaths.-The total number of deaths was 114, a percentage of 416, the lowest mortality for the past six years; of these 39 were in a moribund condition when admitted, 31 dying within twenty-four hours and 8 within forty-eight hours of their admission.
The average daily number of sick was 106.36 as against 98.81 in 1898.
Women.--The number admitted was 402. At present the only accommodation we have for women and children of every nationality is one general ward with 14 beds and one private ward: further accommodation for women and children is very much required and will be provided in the New Women's Jubilee Hospital.

NATIONALITY.
Europeans. As compared with the previous year there was an increase of 23.
Indians --The largest increase was amongst the Indians, 226 more having been admitted than in 1898. The Police contributed 141 of this number, the greater majority being cases of malarial fever admitted from the New Territory, the rest are destitute Indians who have come to this Colony in search of work.
Asiatics. These form by far the greatest majority of patients admitted to the Hospital, no less than 1,264 out of a total of 2,734 being Chinese and Japanese; many cases have had to be refused admission and if it is intended that the Hospital shall meet with the public requirements further accommodation will have to be provided.

malarial fevers and influenza contributing the greatest number of admissions, viz., 17 and 4 respectively.
Influenza.-There were 32 cases under treatment with no deaths.
Enteric Fever.-There were 33 cases under treatment with eleven deaths. Thirteen originated locally, one being an Indian Constable from the Central Police Station, one was from Canton and the remaining nineteen were from ships, nine of these being from foreign men-of-war, all having contracted the disease away from the Colony.
As Dr. MANSON states in his book on Tropical Diseases "this disease is a very virulent one in the tropics with a death rate twice as heavy as the death rate of typhoid in England."
Our experience also bears out his statement "that constipation is much more common in tropical typhoid than in the disease in Europe."
Diphtheria.-Six patients were admitted suffering from this disease with two deaths both Chinese: in each case tracheotomy was performed.
Cholera.-There were no cases admitted suffering from this disease; this is the third year in succession that we have been free from this disease.
Dysentery.-Forty-seven cases were under treatment with two deaths.
Malarial Fevers.-I have to report a large increase in the number admitted suffering from this class of disease, the figures being 469 as compared with 334 in 1898.
There were three deaths-one European, one Indian and one Chinese.
This large increase was mainly due to Police admitted from Stations in the New Territory; by reference to Table Vc it will be seen that 118 admissions are thus accounted for.
Knowing how malarious many of the districts in the New Territory were, instructions were drawn for the guidance of officers stationed there, special prominence being given to the prophylactic use of quinine in small daily doses during the summer months.
up
The disease although prevalent was not of a severe type, there being only one death, that of the Inspector at Cheang Chau, and it is doubtful whether this was a case of true malarial fever.
He was admitted to the hospital in July last with fever and rapidly developed hyperpyrexia, his temperature rising to F. 109°.
A careful post mortem examination was made and, as this was a most exceptional case, portions of the various organs were preserved and sent to Dr. MANSON. From a report which I have received from the Tropical School of Medicine this would be more correct to consider this as a case of Siriasis or Thermic fever.
Two other cases of hyperpyrexia occurred during the year, blood films of both of these were sent to Dr. MANSON for examination; but no malarial parasites were found, they occurred in patients suffering from delirium tremens.
Beri-beri.-There were 44 cases under treatment with 7 deaths, an increase of 15 as compared
with 1898.
Seventeen were Chinese Constables, seven being admitted from the Central and six from the Water Police Station; most of these cases were recruits, the disease developing during their three months' probation.
Venereal Diseases.---The number of admissions from constitutional syphilis continues to show a small but steady increase as the following figures prove :-

The large increase in those suffering from secondary syphilis shows that the disease is much more prevalent in the Colony, 65 of these cases were Chinese.
Many of this nationality have to be treated as out-patients on account of our limited accommoda- tion; unfortunately Chinamen suffering from venereal diseases are not admitted to the Tung Wah Hospital. This is a fact much to be deplored as now this institution is becoming more under the influence of Western medicine many cases might be treated there who now undoubtedly disseminate this disease abroad.
There were 54 cases under treatment suffering from Gonorrhoea as against 48 in 1898.
Injuries.-There were 347 admissions with 15 deaths as against 352 with 18 deaths in 1898. Surgical Operations.-There were 234 during the year with 6 deaths as against 224 with 10 deaths in the previous year.
Amongst the more important operations during the year were the following :-
Lithotomy.--A Chinaman was admitted from Taipo in the New Territory and was successfully -operated on, the calculus weighing 24 ounces.
Hermia.--Five cases were operated on with but one fatal result; this was the case of a Chinaman in whom the hernia had been strangulated for some days, the intestine was quite gangrenous and although it was removed and an artificial anus formed the patient never rallied. It is unfortunate that the Chinese do not realise the serious nature of this complaint and present themselves for treatment earlier.
Abscess of Liver.-Three cases were operated on successfully, the notes of two are given in the appendix.
Laparotomy.-This operation was performed on an European for perityphlitis with a successful
result.
Gunshot Wounds.--There were several cases admitted during the year and operated on. We found the Rontgen rays of great assistance in locating the same; in one severe case of injury to the shoulder in which the head of the humerus was smashed the joint was excised and although the bullet could not be found the man made an excellent recovery.
Anaesthetics.-Chloroform has been administered 164 times during the past year.
Unfortunately
two deaths occurred from its effects-the first in the hospital. Both cases were Europeans. These cases were fully reported to The Lancet. The deaths occurred under different administrators and under different systems.
The majority of cases (156) were anesthetised by Krohne and Seismann's modification of Innker's inhaler and the remainder with Skiemer's inhaler.
Using the former method:---
The average time taken to produce anesthesia was 5'. 37".
The average duration of the operation 11'. 26′′, and the average quantity used was 2 drs. 13
minims.
No notes were kept of the cases under Skiemer's inhaler, but it undoubtedly uses or rather wastes a much larger amount of the ancesthetic and the danger of an overdose is less easily guarded against.
The drawback to Innker's inhaler is the amount of india rubber used in the machine as this rapidly deteriorates in this climate.
FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS.
The following fractures and dislocations have been treated during the year :

Alcoholism.-There were 75 cases admitted with four deaths; two of these, as already stated, developed hyperpyrexia which was the immediate cause of death.
Poisoning. There were 8 cases of poisoning during the year, five were cases of datura poisoning, two of opium and in one the poisonous agent was exalgine; all of these recovered.

Appendix.In the appendix is given the notes by Dr. BELL of four cases of interest that have occurred in the Hospital during the
year.
The second one is of particular interest not only from the nature of the disease but that it is the first case of liver abscess in a Chinaman which has been recorded, at any rate, in this Hospital.

HEPATIC ABSCESS.
OPERATION. RECOVERY.
An English officer in the mercantile marine, aged 39, was admitted to hospital on the 7th February. Previous history.--He had had an attack of dysentery in 1881. Last March was laid up with an attack of malarial fever on the West Coast of Africa and had two relapses whilst in England.
Present history.-For the last 5 or 6 months has been troubled with pain in the region of the liver which four days ago became much more severe and was accompanied by pain in the right shoulder. Liver dulness is increased with distinct tenderness in lower intercostal spaces on right side. Breath very short. Temperature 100.8° on the 9th, under chloroform an aspirating needle have proved the presence of pus: an incision was made in the 9th interspace and a drainage tube inserted. The temperature at once came down to normal and remained so up to 25th day when there was a slight rise (100) owing to a small accumulation of pus in the rapidly closing sinus. This was evacuated and the patient was discharged quite cured on the 36th day, having gained 81bs in a week.
1214
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH AUGUST, 1900.
ABSCESS OF LIVER. REMOVAL OF LARGE GALL STONE. RECOVERY.
NG WAN, Chinese lukong, aged 38, was admitted on 30th May.
He had been ill with fever 4 days. The liver dulness was increased two fingers breadth below the cartilages and was very tender especially over the seat of the gall bladder. There was dulness in the right chest posteriorly with feeble breath sounds. He had never had dysentery. The temperature varied from 99° in the morning to 104° in the evening.
On the 6th June the liver was explored and pus found and next day under an anesthetic an incision was made below costal cartilage of 7th rib in nipple line and a tube was inserted into an abscess and two pints of pus evacuated. The temperature dropped at once and kept normal on 16th August as there was still a discharging sinus the patient was put under chloroform again and the sinus scraped. A calculus was felt and part removed. On 21st August he was again operated on and after some trouble a calculus was removed in pieces weighing 420 grains. The patient rapidly improved in weight from 114 to 127 fbs and general health and was discharged on 16th September with the sinus quite healed and the liver dulness normal. Throughout the case there was no jaundice or any bile discharged through the sinus.
SEVERE WOUND OF KNEE JOINT. SUTURE OF PATELLA. RECOVERY.
A healthy Chinese male adult was admitted on 31st July at 11.45 p.m. with a severe wound of the knee joint. The joint was washed out, the knee put up in McIntyre's splint and the patient put
to bed.
Next morning under an ancesthetic it was found that he had a clean cut wound through the patella about in. from the lower border and notching the outer condyle about 2 inches in depth. It was determined to give the patient a chance of preserving his leg and the wound was most thoroughly cleaned out by irrigation sponges and a nail brush across the bony section. Some time and care were bestowed on this and to this fact must be attributed the very excellent result. The patella was brought together by two silver wire sutures and the skin wound sewn with silk. The knee was then fixed in a McIntyre's splint. There was scarcely any fever throughout. The splint was removed on the 28th day and passive movement begun. The patient was discharged on 27th September and three months afterwards was seen here with a good useful leg. He was able to bend it about 45°.
PROTRUSION OF THE INTESTINES IN A NEW-BORN INFANT.
On April 8th at 9 a.m. a Chinese female child was brought to hospital immediately after birth. On removing the filthy wrappings, the cord with placenta attached and about two feet of intestines were found lying on the abdomen. On examination it was seen that the cord about two inches from the umbilicus was thinned out and attached all round an opening into the abdomen about one and a half inches in diameter through which the intestines had escaped. The child was crying a little but did not seem in any pain nor was it at all collapsed. The intestines were cleaned and after some trouble were returned, a ligature of silk was slipped round the opening and tied, and the cord then dissected off. At 6 p.m. this ligature unfortunately slipped and the intestines had again to be returned. Three deep and three superficial silk sutures were now inserted.
The child throughout took milk well though there was occasionally some vomiting. The stitches were removed on the 6th day and the baby discharged on the 20th day quite well. There was no rise of temperature throughout the case save on the 3rd day when it reached 99.6. This abnormality is a rare one as no one who saw the case had ever seen anything similar. The absence of peritonitis throughout the case is worthy of note.
Enclosure III.
Report of the Acting Medical Officer of Victoria Gaol.
VICTORIA GAOL, HONGKONG, 15th March, 1900.
SIR, I have the honour to forward you for the information of His Excellency the Governor the Annual Medical Report on the condition of Victoria Gaol during the year ending 31st December, 1899. The total number of admissions to the Gaol was 4,789 as compared with 5,437 in 1898 and 5,076- in 1897 respectively; and the daily average number of prisoners was 434 53 as compared with 511 and 462 in the previous two years..
:
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH AUGUST, 1900.
1215
Five hundred and three prisoners were admitted to hospital as compared with 298 in 1898 and 342 in 1897; and 1,778 medical and surgical cases, not requiring admission to hospital, were treated in the cells as compared with 1,033 cases in 1898 and 455 in 1897. Of the 1,778, 972 were medical cases, the daily average being 19.14. Eight hundred and six were surgical cases with a daily average of 26.18.
The amount of venereal disease in prisoners admitted continues on the increase, and deductions are not difficult to draw. The following are the numbers for the last three years :-
Syphilis,... Gonorrhea,
1897.
86
39
1898.

1899.

Vaccination has been carried out as usual. The supply of lymph has been good in quality, but on several occasions our supply ran out. Out of a total number of 4,789 prisoners admitted to Gaol 3,378 were vaccinated. The others were old men or those suffering from debility and whom it was not advisable to vaccinate, whilst a few escaped vaccination when our supply failed. The table shows a very favourable percentage of successful vaccinations.
The increase of admissions from 298 to 503 is accounted for mainly by admissions for Remittent Fever, General Debility, Diseases of the Digestive System (mainly diarrhoeas), Diseases of Connective Tissue, and those under observation.
Infectious Diseases were represented by 2 cases of Enteric, 4 of Influenza and 3 of Leprosy. One Enteric case was infected before admission. Another case was supposed to have been infected in Gaol; as I was on other duty at the time I do not know the circumstances of the case.
The very cold weather of January and February was responsible for a large number of Fever and other cases, and now in cold weather I have ordered special hot drinks either of plain water, tea or congee to be given occasionally to debilitated prisoners. It is more especially in the morning between 3 and 5 a.m. that such is necessary; most of the prisoners felt the cold most acutely at that time.
Dr. THOMSON was on duty from 1st to 10th January and from 15th May to 14th September. During the rest of the year I acted for him, with the exception of three weeks in November when Dr. BELL was in charge.
The health of the staff has been uniformly good. An outbreak of Influenza necessitated a con- siderable number being sent to the Civil Hospital for treatment, as they simply got worse always if they attempted to remain on duty.
I append the following tables :--
I. Showing admissions and Mortality in Victoria Gaol Hospital during the year 1899.
II. Showing medical cases treated by the Medical Officer in Victoria Gaol, but not admitted to
Hospital during the year 1899.
III. Showing Surgical cases treated by the Medical Officer, but not admitted to Hospital during
the year 1899,
IV. Showing the rate of sickness and mortality in Victoria Gaol during the year 1899.
V. Showing the number and results of Vaccinations in Victoria Gaol during the past ten years. VI. Showing general statistics connected with Victoria Gaol and the Gaol Hospital during the
past ten years.
The total number of floggings with the birch was 148, 99 by order of the Police Magistrate, 36 by the Supreme Court, and 11 by the Superintendent and 2 by the Superintendent and Justices of the Peace. There was one flogging with the cat. No injury resulted requiring surgical treatment; in fact, the flogging with the birch does not require the attendance of a medical man.
The health of the Warders and Guards has been fairly satisfactory during the year.
The Wardmasters T. HOLMES and SUNDA SINGH performed their duties to my entire satisfaction,
I have the honour to be,

Enclosure IV.
Report of the Inspecting Medical Officer of the Tung Wah Hospital.
1221
TUNG WAH HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 10th March, 1900.
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 1899.
The number of patients in the wards at the beginning of the year was 148; 2,542 were admitted during 1899, making a total of 2,790, under treatment; 1,684 were discharged; 852 died; leaving 154 in the Hospital on the evening of 31st December.
The Admissions during the past ten years have been :---
1890,.
1891..
1892,
1893.

1899,
Of the 2,542 Admissions, 1,491 were treated by the Chinese native doctors; 556 were under Western treatment; 495 are classed as transferred to other Hospitals. In this 495, however, 75 cases of Plague and 1 case of Small-pox- brought to Tung Wah Hospital in a dying condition, and are allowed to die before removal to Kennedy Town-are included for convenience of classification, so that the actual number removed elsewhere for treatment was 419. These are distributed as follows:-- 19 to the Government Civil Hospital, 2 to the Lunatic Asylum, 135 to Kennedy Town Hospital, 262 to the Tung Wah Branch Hospital, and 1 to the Italian Convent.
Ninety thousand and eighty-one (90,081) consultations in the Out-Patient Department are reported by the native doctors. In 1898 the number was 90,880.
Two thousand two hundred and sixty-one (2,261) vaccinations were performed, as compared with 1,588 in the previous year. in Hongkong and the out-lying districts, as shown in the appended Table, by a Public Vaccinator in connection with this Hospital, under the direct supervision of Dr. CHUNG.
Seven hundred and eighty-eight (788) 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 fisherinen,. Sent from Registrar-General's Office, Brought by Police,
Lodged for Po Leung Kuk Committee, Arrived from Saigon,

...

Of the 852 deaths, 268 (177 male and 91 female) were within few hours after reception into the Receiving Ward. classed in the Table showing Admissions and Mortality as 146 as under Chinese treatment.
788
moribund on 'admission, death occurring Thus of the 268 moribund cases 122 are having been under Western treatment, and
Of these 852 deaths, 32 bodies (27 male and 5 female) were sent to the Public Mortuary for internal examination for the purpose of obtaining the exact cause of death.
J
1222 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH AUGUST, 1900.
In addition to the above, 457 dead bodies (326 male and 131 female) were brought to the Tung Wah Hospital mortuary to await burial. Of these, 108 (76 male and 32 female) were removed to the Public Mortuary for post mortem examination, as suspected Plague, Typhoid fever, poisoning, etc.
Some of those who die in the Hospital and of those brought to the Hospital Mortuary are buried privately by their relatives, but a majority are buried at the expense of the Hospital funds. Large number of poor people who die in the Government Civil Hospital, and abandoned dead bodies found by the Police and taken to the Public Mortuary, are also buried by the charitable funds of the Tung Wah Hospital. During the year free burial was thus provided for 1,464 persons.
The Hospital Staff remained the same as in the previous year. On account of the high price of every necessity, Dr. CHUNG has at the end of the year taken the opportunity to recommend an increase of pay by 20 per cent to all employees working under him, hitherto the pay has been almost the same ever since the opening of this Hospital.
THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.
The Ko Fong Wards for the accommodation of female patients will soon be out of use as the Tung Wah Hospital extension scheme should soon be in active progress. The Foundation Stone for same was laid by His Excellency the Governor on the 25th November, 1899, amidst great eclat. The chief improvement during the year has been the erection of an Incinerator for destroying all condemned clothing, beddings, etc.
The wards and the ward work practically remained the same as in the previous year.
OPERATIONS.
The following operations were performed during the year :
Amputation through the forearm,
of fingers,
Plastic operation for harelip,
Lateral Lithotomy for Verical Calculus, Operation for extraction of Bullets,. Reduction of Dislocation of Shoulder-joint, Circumcision..
Removal of necrosed bones,

(1 Lithotomy case died 4 hours after operation from Secondary Hemorrhage.)
During the year
8 administrations of chloroform inhalation were given to cases in which a general ancesthesia was required; solution of conaine being chiefly used for minor operations.
Two midwifery cases were' received into the Hospital attended by Dr. CHUNG. one of which required the use of forceps. Both cases did well.
In the Dispensary, attached to the Receiving Ward, the following minor operations were done by the Resident Surgeon on out-patients---
60 Incisions for opening of abscess.
10 Removal of needles lodged under the skin.
4 Tapping for Hydrocele.
3 Urethral calculi.
20 Catheberization for metral Stricture and Retention of urine.
50 Tooth extraction.
Dr. THOMSON was in charge of the hospital at various times for about four months of the year and during the remaining months I have acted for him. Dr. CHUNG continues to carry out his duties with great tact and discretion, and it is largely due to him that Western Medicine is making the progress it is in the Tung Wah. It is especially gratifying to me to report on the great improvement in the Tung Wah Hospital administration of late years, as my previous criticismns have probably had most to do with such improvement, bringing official pressure to bear on the authorities responsible for the administration to a sense of what should have been done long ago.
I hope in the near future to see a scheme finished for improving the nursing in the institution, but the difficulty of procuring suitable female help has postponed a commencement, as also the want of accommodation for same. However, it will soon come if we get a little assistance through our Chinese Directors.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 15th March, 1900.
SIR, I have the honour to submit a short report on the Government Lunatic Asylum during the year 1899, with two tables showing the admissions and deaths that have occurred and the diseases for which the patients were admitted Sixty-nine patients were admitted, of whom eight died, eleven were sent to Canton and 33 were discharged in the care of friends or relatives.
Europeans.No female European was admitted during the year. Amongst the males two deaths occurred one the result of debility and the other a melancholic who committed suicide by hanging himself. The case of delusional insanity is that of a German sailor who has been in the Asylum since April 1898. His bodily health is good and he is likely to last for a considerable length of time. The American female lunatic has been in the Asylum since 4th January, 1895. Her bodily health is good but her mental condition quite incurable.
Chinese.-One death occurred by hanging.
These deaths in the persons of suicidal melancholics are difficult to prevent owing to the faulty construction of the building unless they are constantly kept in a straight jacket, which proceeding in summer is objectionable.
One case of dementia following upon bubonic plague was admitted during the year.
recovered.
He finally
Staff-Miss BARKER, on the resignation of Miss MCINTOSH, assumed charge of the female side of the Asylum on the 14th March, 1899.
Wardmaster SYDNEY resigned on the 7th August, 1899, and was succeeded by Mr. EDWARD ABBOTT late sick bay Steward H.M.S. Undaunted.
I have the honour to be.

TOXICOLOGICAL.
3. The toxicological cases investigated comprise eight cases of human poisoning. No cases occurred amongst Europeans. The poison in seven cases was opium and in the other was Datura
Alba.
4. A Chinaman was convicted of throwing vitriol over a sampan woman. No personal injury was caused as the woman at once jumped into the harbour to free herself from the corrosive fluid.
5. A number of Chinese servants were rendered semi-unconscious by partaking of food containing the flower-heads of Datura Alba. The drug had been finely powdered then mixed with lard, which was thereupon mixed in with some ordinary food. The follen-grains of Datura Alba were easily recognized in the lard and hyoscine was separated from the urine of the drugged persons.
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. Notwithstanding the increase in the number of residents in the Peak District, the Pokfulum water shows no sign of deterioration.
7. In the district recently leased from the Chinese Government 28 waters have been examined. In an Appendix will be found particulars of the monthly analyses of the public supplies, and of
other waters.
8. The Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1873 and 1892.--Of Petroleum and Petroleum Fuel, 234 samples were examined. Oil imported in tank steamers must undergo examination before being landed here; there are no regulations as to the quality of the oil imported in tins. With a view to ascertain the general nature of the illuminating oil on the Hongkong market, an examination of 50 samples procured from various stores in the Colony was undertaken. The average of the flashing points was 82° F. In every case when buying the samples the cheapest oil was asked for. The results of the experiments are recorded in an Appendix.
9. The Morphine Ordinance.-There were two prosecutions under this Ordinance and seven exhibits were examined.
10. The Food and Drugs Ordinance.--Forty-nine exhibits were examined. The following table shows the results of the examination of 41 samples taken for the purpose of analysis by the Police: and by the Sanitary Board:---
Beer, Brandy, Gin,
Milk.
Port Wine,
Rum,
Whisky,

11. Eight samples of various kinds of food were examined for the public at the specially low fees laid down in the Ordinance.
12. The result of the systematic method of taking samples by the Police has been that the sale- of adulterated liquor, has practically ceased in the Colony. As far as can be ascertained it appears that nearly the whole of the liquor as consumed at licensed houses by soldiers and sailors, is supplied with a certificate of freedom from adulteration either from this laboratory or from the analysts attached to the various distilleries in Great Britain and Ireland.
13. Examinations for the public.-A considerable number of articles of various kinds have been exa- mined for the public. The list comprises ores, coals, liquor, milk, resin, petroleum, opium, medicine, and water. For these examinations the public have paid $1,202.50 in fees.
14. Special reports. --Special reports have been supplied on : ---
Liquid fuel.
Destruction of rats.
Sewage.
The British Pharmacopoeia of 1898.
The Discolouration of certain Buoys.
Petroleum lamps.
The Quality of Petroleum as supplied in Hongkong.
Food Preservatives and Colouring Matters.

Value of the work done.-The value of the analyses performed as determined from the tariff of charges as published in Government Notification No 319 is $4,235. This amount does not include the value of the analyses undertaken in connection with the Special Reports (see para. 14); also, there is much other work in connection with the laboratory for which nothing has been set down.
16. Library.-A number of new standard works dealing in particular with the purification of sewage and water, with explosives and foods, together with some new works of reference of a useful character, have been ordered.

Boundaries of Survey District No. 1.
The boundary of Survey District No. I commences at the stone boundary mark of the old Colo- nial boundary on the sea near Ma Tau Ch'ung village and continues along that boundary up to and including the fourth boundary mark on it on the Ma Tau Ling hill. From the fourth boundary mark the boundary of District No. 1 turns in a northerly direction and follows the watershed of a line of low hills up to pillar No. 1, continuing in a general northerly direction along that watershed to pillars Nos. 2 and 3. From pillar No. 3 the district boundary follows the line of, the Chinese wall, across the Kau Lung Tsai Au and over the gateway known as Kan Lung Tsai Au Shing Mun and up the hill to the north of the latter to pillar No. 1. thence still continuing in a northerly direction along the watershed to pillars Nos. 5 and 6. From pillar No. 6 the boundary descends to pillar No. 7 on the Ping Long Hang Stream and follows the bed of this watercourse up to the Lik Un An tea- house on the high range of hills. From this tea-house the district boundary follows the watershed of the range of hills and passing the two peaks of the Wo Lim Shau to the Kau Lung Au tea-house on the road from Kau Lung City to Sha-Tin. From this tea-house the district boundary follows the course, in a southerly direction, of the Sham Ch'ung stream, along the middle of the watercourse, to the point where that streams joins the sea. From that point the boundary follows the coast, till it reaches the stone pillar of the old Colonial boundary line near Ma T'au Ch'ung village.

INTERNATIONAL SANITARY CONVENTION
VENICE 1897.
(Translation.)
GENERAL SANITARY REGULATIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE INTRO-
DUCTION AND PROPAGATION OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.
CHAPTER I. MEASURES TO BE TAKEN OUTSIDE Europe.
I.-Notification.
The Government of each of the countries adhering to the present Convention shall notify the various other Governments, by telegraph, of the occurrence of every case of plague that has shown itself in their territories, in conformity with Section I of Chapter II, "Measures to be taken in Europe."
Sections II, III, and IV of the same Chapter II are equally applicable.
In other countries, it is desirable that the measures adopted to keep the Signatory Governments of the Convention posted up in the outbreak of a plague epidemic, as well as in the means employed to prevent its spread, and its introduction into countries free from it--measures already provided for with respect to Europe--be equally applicable.
II.-The Sanitary control of ships sailing into Infected Ports.
MEASURES COMMON BOTH TO ORDINARY SHIPS AND TO PILGRIM-SHIPS.
1. All persons shall, immediately prior to embarcation, be inspected by a medical man duly appointed for this purpose by the Local Authority, and such inspection must be by daylight and on shore.
The Consul claimed by the ship may be present at this inspection.
2. Compulsory and rigorous disinfection, made on shore, under the superintendence of the doctor appointed by the Local Authority, of every contaminated or suspected article, according to the conditions contained in Chapter III "Instructions recommended for carrying out disinfection."
3. Interdiction of the embarcation of every person showing plague symptoms.
MEASURES APPLICABLE TO PILGRIM-SHIPS.
1. When cases of plague exist in the port, embarcation on board pilgrim-ships shall only be permitted after the pilgrims, collected in groups, have undergone observation, with a view to ascertain- ing that none of them is infected with plague.
It is understood that, in order to carry out this measure, each Government shall take into account local circumstances and possibilities.*
2. Pilgrims are expected to prove that they have the strictly needful means for completing the pilgrimage both ways, as well as for the stay in the Holy Places, if local circumstances allow them to do so.
* The Conference decided, by way of interpretation, that in the Dutch Indies, such observation might be effected on board ships on the
point of leaving.

The latrines for passengers, as well as those used by the crew, must be kept clean, and scoured and disinfected thrice daily.
Article 19. The disinfection of the ship must be carried out in conformity with the provisions- of Nos. 5 and 6 of Chap. III.
Article 20. The quantity of potable water gratuitously put at the disposal of each pilgrim, irrespective of age, must be at least 5 litres. [1.1 gallons.]
Article 21. If there is any doubt about the quality of the potable water, or about the possibility of its contamination, either at its place of origin or during the course of the passage, it should be boiled or otherwise sterilised, and the Master must throw it overboard at the first port of call at which it is possible for him to get a better supply.
Article 22. The ship must be provided with two places set apart for the personal cookery of the pilgrims, who are forbidden to make fires elsewhere, especially on deck.

Other articles should be taken to the disinfecting room, in impermeable bags washed in a solu- tion of corrosive sublimate.
The evacuations of the sick should be collected in vessels containing a disinfecting solution.. These vessels should be emptied in the latrines which ought to be scrupulously 'disinfected after each emptying of such matters.
The places previously occupied by the sick should be rigorously disinfected.
The operations of disinfection ought to be carried out in conformity with No. 5 of Chapter III.
*The Conference having had knowledge of the conditions under which hospitals must be established, according to Art. 53 of the Act about Pilgrim-ships enforced by the Indian Government, recommends them to be carried out. This would be considered as a substitute for Art. 24 above. (Extract.)-The Hospital shall be installed on the upper deck, and shall form a substantial part of the deck itself. It shall contain, at least six beds, and shall have an area of at least 144 square feet, and a minimum capacity of 864 cubic feet.

such sick as must be isolated [cholera, plague, yellow fever, small-pox or other contagious disease].
The site, which the temporary hospital should occupy, shall be fixed upon before-hand by the Inspector. It shall be constructed under
analagous conditions to the permanent hospital. It shall have a superficial area of at least 144 square feet.

II. MEASURES TO BE TAKEN TO PREVENT THE INTRODUCTION OF PLAGUE.
1.-By Land.
Measures taken on land against articles and persons coming from plague-infected districts must be in conformity with the sanitary principles formulated by the present Convention. The modern practice of disinfection should be substituted for land quarantine.
With this end in view, disinfecting houses and other disinfecting apparatus shall be located at well-chosen places on the routes followed by travellers. The same measures shall be employed on railway lines, both opened and projected. Merchandise shall be disinfected according to the principles adopted by the present Convention.
Each Government is free to close its frontiers both to passengers and goods.
2.-By Sea.
A.-MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IN THE RED SEA.
Article 1. Ships free from plague.
a. Ships recognised as free from plaque, after medical inspection, shall have immediate free
pratique, quite irrespective of the nature of their Bill of Health.
The ship ought always to have completed, or to complete, ten full days, counting from the time of departure from the last infected port. The only regime that the authority of the port of arrival can impose on such a ship, consists in the measures applicable to suspected ships [medical inspection, disinfection of soiled linen, discharge of bilge water, and the substitution of a good potable water for that already stored on board].
b. Ships free from plague will ordinarily have the option of passing the Canal in quarantine. They will enter the Mediterranean continuing the ten days' observation. Ships carry- ing a medical officer and disinfecting gear shall not undergo disinfection before transit in quarantine.
Article 2. Suspected ships.
Suspected ships are those on board which there were cases of plague at the time of departure, or during the passage, but which have had no new case for twelve days. Such ships shall be treated differentially, according as they carry or do not carry a doctor and disin- fecting apparatus.
a. Ships having a doctor and disinfecting apparatus, fulfilling the desired conditions, shall be allowed to pass the Suez Canal in quarantine under the conditions of the Regulations for such transit.
b. Other suspected ships, having neither doctor nor disinfecting apparatus, before being admitted to transit in quarantine, shall be detained at Moses' Wells during the time needed to carry out disinfection of dirty linen, body linen and other susceptible articles, and to make sure of the sanitary state of the ship.
Should the ship be a mail boat, or a steamer specially given up to the carriage of passengers, without disinfecting gear, but having a doctor on board, provided the local authority has the assurance, officially supported, that measures of cleanliness and disinfection have been properly carried out, either at the place of departure, or during the voyage, passage in quarantine shall be granted.
Should the ship be a mail-boat or a passenger ship, carrying a doctor but having no disinfecting apparatus, if the last case of plague dates back more than fourteen days, and if the sanitary state of the ship is satisfactory, free pratique may be given to Suez when disinfecting operations have been completed.
For a ship having a journey, free from plague, of less than fourteen days, passen- gers destined for Egypt shall be landed at Moses' Wells, and isolated during the time needed to complete ten days. The dirty linen and articles in use shall be disinfected. They shall then receive free pratique. Ships with a journey free from plague of less than fourteen days, and demanding free pratique in Egypt shall be detained at Moses' Wells the time necessary to complete ten days; they shall undergo regulation disinfection.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900. 1285
Article 3.-Infected Ships, i.e. with plague on board, or having had cases of plague within twelve days. They are differentiated into ships carrying a doctor and disinfecting apparatus, and ships without either doctor or disinfecting apparatus.
a. Ships with neither doctor nor disinfecting apparatus shall be stopped at Moses' Wells where the persons infected with plague shall be landed and isolated in a hospital. Disinfection shall be most thoroughly carried out. The other passengers shall be landed and isolated in groups as small as practicable, in such manner that the whole may not be severally and jointly liable for a particular group, if plague declares itself. Dirty linen, articles in use, the clothes of the crew and of the passengers shall be disin- fected, as well as the ship.
It is quite understood that there is no question of the discharge of cargo, but merely the disinfection of the infected part of the ship.
Passengers shall stay ten days at Moses' Wells' Station; when cases of plague date back several days, the time of isolation shall be proportionately lessened. The time shall vary according to the date of development of the last case.
Thus, when the latest case shall have declared itself within the last nine, ten or twelve days, the time of observation shall be twenty-four hours; if within eight days, two days; within seven days, three days; and so on, as is shown in the Table later
on.
b. Ships with doctor and disinfecting apparatus.-Such ships shall also be stopped at Moses' Wells. The doctor on board, under oath, shall declare what persons on board are afflicted with plague. Those sick shall be landed and isolated.
and crew
After the landing of the sick, the dirty linen of the rest of the passengers shall undergo disinfection on board.
When plague has declared itself exclusively amongst the crew, the disinfection of linen shall only affect the dirty linen of the crew and that of the postal officials on board.
The doctor on board shall also indicate, under oath, the part or compartment of the ship, and the section of the hospital in which the sick person or persons have been accommodated. He shall declare, also under oath, what persons have had anything to do with those stricken with plague, since the first symptoms of the disease were observed, either by direct contact, or by contact with articles capable of transmitting the infection. Such persons only shall be regarded as suspected persons.
The part or compartment of the ship, and the section of the hospital in which the sick person or persons have been accommodated, shall be thoroughly disinfected. By a "part of the ship" is understood the sick person's cabin, the adjoining cabins, the gangway leading to them, the deck, the parts of the deck on which the sick person or persons have passed their time.
If it is impossible to disinfect the part or the compartment of the ship which has been occupied by persons afflicted with plague without landing the persons declared suspected, these persons shall either be put on another ship specially set apart for the purpose, or be landed and quartered in the Sanitary Establishment, without contact with the sick, who shall be put in the hospital.
The duration of this stay, on the ship or ashore, for disinfection, shall be as short as possible, and shall not exceed twenty-four hours.
Suspected persons shall undergo observation either aboard their own ship, or on the ship set apart for this purpose; the duration of this observation shall vary accord- ing to the following Table:-
When the last case of plague has been developed in the course of the 12th, 11th, 10th, or 9th day before arrival at Suez, observation shall last twenty-four hours;
If developed in the course of the 8th day before arrrival at Suez, observation shall last two days;
If in the course of the 7th day before arrival at Suez, three days;
If in the course of the 6th day before arrival at Suez, four days;
If in the course of the 5th or 4th day before arrival at Suez, five or six days;
If in the course of the 3rd or 2nd day before arrival at Suez, seven or eight days;
If in the course of the day immediately preceding arrival at Suez, nine days. Passage in quarantine shall be granted before the expiration of the delays indicated in the above Table, if the Sanitary Authority deems it possible: it shall be granted, in all cases, after disinfection has been completed, if the ship, besides its sick, leaves behind the persons indicated above as sus- pected.
1286 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
Disinfecting apparatus, placed on a lighter, may come alongside the ship to hasten forward the work of disinfection.
Infected ships asking for free pratique in Egyptian waters, shall be detained ten days at Moses' Wells, counting from the last case occurring on board, and shall undergo regulation disinfection.
The time taken up in disinfecting operations is reckoned in the period of observation.

When hailed, the Master is obliged to declare if he has on his ship gangs of native firemen or any paid servants whatever who are not comprised in the list of the crew, and not on the ship's articles. The following questions shall be put to the Masters of all ships coming to Suez, from the South. They shall reply to them under oath :-
"Have you any supernumeraries? stokers or other men, not on your articles. and not in the
regular list of the crew?"
"What is their nationality?
"Where did you take them aboard?"
The Sanitary doctors ought to personally assure themselves of the presence of such supernume- raries; and should they notice that all of them do not put in appearance, they should carefully ascer- tain the reason of their absence.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900. 1287

Any ship is considered suspected aboard which there were plague cases at the time of departure, or during the voyage, but no case for twelve days.
Any ship is considered plague-free. even if coming from an infected port, provided there have been neither deaths nor cases of plague on board, either before departure, during the voyage, or at the
time of arrival.
Infected Ships are submitted to the following regime:-
1. The sick are at once landed and isolated;
2. Other persons must also be landed, if feasible, and put under observation, the length
of which shall vary according to the sanitary state of the ship as well as to the date of the last case, without however exceeding ten days;
3. Dirty linen, articles in use, and the belongings of the crew and passengers which, in the opinion of the Sanitary Authority of the port, are considered infected, shall be disin- fected, together with the ship, or only that part of it which has been contaminated.
A more thorough disinfection may be ordered by the local Sanitary Authority.
Suspected Ships shall submit to the following measures :--
1. Medical inspection;
2. Disinfection: dirty linen, articles in use, and the belongings of the crew and passengers which, in the opinion of the local Sanitary Authority, are considered contaminated.
shall be disinfected ;
1292
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
3. All parts of the ship that have been used by the sick or suspected, shall be disinfected.
A more thorough disinfection may be ordered by the local Sanitary Authority;
4. Discharge of the bilge-water, after disinfection; and substitution of good potable water.
for that stored on board;
5. Crew and passengers are submitted to ten days' observation, reckoning from the time
when there no longer exists a case of plague on board.
Plague-free ships shall be allowed immediate free pratique, whatever the character of their Bill of Health.
Such ships must always have completed, or must complete ten full days from the time of departure from the last infected port.
The only regime that the authorities of the port of arrival can prescribe for such ships consists of those measures applicable to suspected ships [medical inspection, disinfection, discharge of bilge- water, and substitution of good potable water for that stored on board].
It is understood that the competent authority of the port of arrival may always demand from the ship's doctor, or, in his absence, from the Master, and under oath, a certificate attesting that there has been no case of plague on board since departure.
The competent authority of the port shall take into account, when applying these measures, the presence of a qualified medical man and of disinfecting apparatus on board ships in the three fore- going categories.
Special measures may be prescribed in respect of ships offering bad hygienic conditions.
Goods arriving by sea cannot be treated otherwise than goods carried overland, from the point of view of disinfection. prohibition of importation, transit and quarantine.
Every ship that refuses to submit to the regulations imposed by the Port Authority shall at all times be free to put back to sea. Such ship may be authorised to land cargo after necessary precau-
tions have been taken, to wit:-
1. Isolation of ship, crew and passengers ;
2. Discharge of bilge water after disinfection;
3. Substitution of good potable water for that stored on board.
It may also be empowered to land passengers who ask for the privilege, on condition that they submit themselves to the measures prescribed by the Local Authority.
II.-Sanitary Establishments in the Persian Gulf.
In the Persian Gulf there is room to instal two Sanitary Establishments; one in the Strait of Ormuz (Isle of Ormuz, Isle of Kishm, or some other locality to be fixed on in this neighbourhood), the other in the vicinity of Basra or some other place to be fixed on.
At the Sanitary Station in the Strait of Ormuz there shall be at least two doctors, Sanitary Officials, Sanitary Guards, and a complete disinfecting outfit. A small hospital shall be erected.
At the station in the vicinity of Basra shall be constructed a big lazaretto and installations for the disinfection of goods; it shall also include a medical staff of several doctors.
Before entering the Persian Gulf, ships shall be hailed at the Sanitary Establishment in the Strait of Ormuz. There they shall undergo the sanitary regime prescribed by the Regulations. If they have on board sick infected with plague, they shall land them.
Ships that have to go up the Shatt-el-Arab, if the period of observation has not been completed, shall always be authorised to continue their route, on condition of passing through the Persian Gulf and the Shatt-el-Arab in quarantine. A Head Watchman and two Sanitary Guards, taken at Ormuz, shall accompany the ship as far as Basra, where a second medical inspection shall be effected, and where also the necessary disinfection shall take place.
Ships that intend to touch at Persian ports, to land passengers or cargo, shall be able to do this at Bushire, when a suitable Sanitary installation has been established there; until this has been done, these operations may only be effected at Ormuz or Basra.
It is quite understood that a ship which is plague-free, at the expiration of ten days, counting from the date on which it left the last port infected with plague, shall get free pratique to the Gulf ports, after recognition on arrival, of its plague-free condition.
The Sanitary establishments at Ormuz and Basra shall be put under the authority of the Higher Board of Health at Constantinople. With regard to the station at Ormuz, an agreement must be arrived at between the Ottoman and Persian Governments.
Until this agreement between Turkey and Persia is effected, an Urgency" Sanitary post shall be organised on one of the islands in the Strait of Ormuz in which Doctors and Sanitary Guards shall be placed by the Sanitary Board. These Guards shall accompany ships passing through in quarantine as far up the Shatt-el-Arab as the establishment in the neighbourhood of Basra.
The Higher Board of Health at Constantinople should without farther delay, organise the Sanitary establishments at Hanni-Kim and Kizil-Dize near Bayazid on the Turco-Persian and Turco-Russian frontiers.

CHAPTER II.--MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IN EUROPE.
1293
SECTION 1.-MEASURES INTENDED TO KEEP THE SIGNATORY GOVERNMENTS POSTED UP IN THE DETAILS OF A PLAGUE EPIDEMIC, AS WELL AS IN THE MEANS USED TO AVOID ITS
PROPAGATION AND INTRODUCTION INTO PLACES FREE FROM IT.
Notification and subsequent communications.
The Government of the infected country must notify the existence of every case of plague to the various other Governments. This procedure is essential.
It will have no real value except the latter are themselves informed of cases of plague and of suspi- cious cases occurring within their own territories. It cannot be too strongly impressed on the various Governments that medical men should be compelled to notify cases of plague.
The substance of the notification shall be the existence of cases of plague, the places in which such cases have appeared, the date of occurrence, the number of cases reported, and the number of deaths therefrom.
Notification shall be made to the Diplomatic or Consular authorities residing in the capital of the infected country.
For countries not thus represented, notification shall be made direct to them by telegraph.
This first notification shall be followed by subsequent communications, regularly made, so as to keep the Governments posted up in the progress of the epidemic. Such communications shall be made at least once a week.
Information as to the origin and progress of the disease should be as full as possible. It should more particularly indicate the measures employed to combat the extension of the epidemic. It must give details on the prophylactic measures adopted relative-
(a.) To sanitary or medical inspection;
(b.) To isolation ;
;
(c.) To disinfection;
and the measures prescribed with respect to the departure of ships and to the exportation of suscepti- ble articles.
It is understood that neighbouring countries reserve to themselves the right to make special arrangements with a view of organising a service for direct information between the Heads of the Frontier Services.
The Government of each Power shall be at once obliged to publish the measures which it deems should be prescribed with respect to the products of a country or territorial division that is infected.
It shall also communicate such publication to the Diplomatic or Consular Officer of the infected country residing in the capital. In default of such an official in the capital, communication shall be made direct to the Government interested.
It must also communicate, by the same means, the withdrawal of these measures, or any modi- fication to which they may be subjected.
SECTION 2.-CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A TERRITORIAL *
DIVISION MUST BE CONSIDERED
AS INFECTED OR AS NON-INFECTED.
Every division wherein the existence of plague has been reported is considered as infected.
Every division wherein plague has existed, but in which, after official report, there has been neither death nor new cases of plague for ten days after the recovery or death of the last plague patient, on condition that the necessary measures of disinfection have been carried out, is no longer regarded as infected.
Preventive measures shall be applied to the infected territory from the time that plague cases have been officially reported.
These measures shall cease to be applied as soon as it has been authoritatively announced that the division has become healthy.
The fact that imported cases have shown themselves in a territorial division, without giving rise to cases of transmission, shall not be considered as authorising the application of these measures.
*By the word "division is meant a portion of territory of a country under a well-defined administrative authority, as, a province, a government, a district, a department, a canton, an island, a commune, a city, a village, a port, a polder, etc., quite irrespective of the size and population of these portions of territory.
1294
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
SECTION 3.-Need of coNFINING TO THE INFECTED TERRITORIAL DIVISION THE MEASURES
INTENDED TO CHECK THE PROPAGATION OF THE EPIDEMIC.'
In order to limit such measures to infected regions only, the Government should apply them solely to whatever comes from contaminated divisions.
But this restriction applied to the infected division ought only to be accepted on the formal con- dition that the Government of the infected country takes the needful steps to prevent the export of susceptible articles from the infected area.
When a division is infected, no restrictive measures shall be taken against the products from that division, provided they have left it at least five days before the first plague case.
SECTION 4.-SUSCEPTIBLE GOODS or ARTICLES, REGARDED FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF Prohibition AGAINST IMPORTATION OR TRANSIT, and of DisinFECTION.
1.-Importation and Transit.
Susceptible articles or goods that may be prohibited from entering a country are:-
1. Body linen, wearing apparel, old clothes, used bedding. When such articles are trans-
ported as baggage, or when house-moving, they are subject to special treatment.
Parcels left by soldiers and sailors, and sent back to their homes after death, are classed with the articles included in the preceding § 1.
2. Rags of all kinds, linen and otherwise, not excepting such as are compressed by hydraulic
force, and carried as bale goods;
3. Used bags, carpets, old embroideries ;
4. Undressed leather, untanned hides, fresh hides;
5. The fresh remains of animals-claws, hoofs, manes, hair, bristles and fleeces ;
6. Human hair.
The transit of susceptible goods or articles, packed in such manner that they cannot be handled en route, ought not to be forbidden.
So, when goods or susceptible articles are transported in such manner that they cannot possibly have come in contact with dirty articles during transit, such transit through an infected district should not be an obstacle to their entry into the country of destination.
Goods and susceptible articles shall not fall under the application of measures of prohibition of entry, if it is proved to the authorities of the country of destination, that they were despatched at least five days before the first case of plague.
It is not allowable for goods to be kept in quarantine at land frontiers. Prohibition, pure and simple, or disinfection, are the only measures that can be taken.
--Disinfection.
Baggage.-Disinfection shall be compulsory for dirty linen, wearing apparel, clothes and articles. forming part of the baggage or house furniture, coming from a territorial division declared infected, and which the local Sanitary Authority shall consider contaminated.
-
Goods. Disinfection shall only be applied to goods and articles which the local Sanitary Author- ity shall consider contaminated, or to those goods the importation of which may be forbidden.
It is the duty of the Authority of the country of destination to fix the manner and place of disin- fection.
Disinfection should be carried out in such a manner as to deteriorate the articles as little as
possible.
It is the duty of each lower to regulate the question of the eventual payment for damages resulting from disinfection.
Letters and correspondence, printed matter, books, newspapers, business circulars, etc., [not including Postal Parcels] shall be subject to no restriction, and shall not be disinfected.
SECTION 5-MEASURES TO BE TAKEN AT LAND FRONTIERS.
RAILWAYS. TRAVELLERS.
Carriages concerned in the transport of travellers, mails and luggage, cannot be stopped at the
frontier.
Should it happen that one of these carriages is soiled, it shall when possible be uncoupled from the train for the purpose of disinfection, either at the frontier, or at the nearest stopping station.
The same rule shall be followed with trucks and goods-waggons. Land quarantine shall no longer be established. Individuals showing plague symptoms can alone be detained.
This principle does not exclude the right of each Power, at need, to close a part of its frontiers.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
1295
It is important that travellers be submitted, with regard to their state of health, to inspection by the personnel of the railway.
Medical intervention shall be limited to a visit, and to attention bestowed on the sick. Should there be a medical inspection, it ought to be combined, as far as possible, with that of the Customs, so that travellers are detained the shortest possible length of time.
When travellers from an infected district have reached their journey's end, it would be of the highest utility to submit them to a ten days' observation, counting from the day of setting out.
The measures concerning the crossing of the frontier by railway and postal servants concern the Departments interested. They shall be combined so as not to fetter the regular service.
Governments reserve to themselves the right to take particular measures with respect to certain class s of persons, notably towards--
(a.) Gipsies and vagabonds;
(b.) Emigrants and persons travelling or crossing the frontier in groups.
SECTION 6.-SPECIAL REGIME FOR FRONTIER-ZONES.
The regulation of frontier-traffic, and of questions inherent to such traffic, as well as the adoption of exceptional measures of inspection, must be left to special arrangements between the neighbouring Powers.
SECTION 7-WATER-WAYS, RIVERS, CANALS AND LAKES.
The care of regulating, by special arrangement, the sanitary watch and ward of water-ways, ought to be left to the Government of the Powers bordering such water-ways.
SECTION 8.--MARITIME PART. MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IN PORTS.
Any ship is regarded as infected which has plague on board, or which has had one or more plaguc cases during the last twelve days.
Any ship is regarded as suspected on board which there were cases either at the time of departure or during the voyage, but which has had no new case for twelve days.
Any ship is regarded as plague-free which, although coming from an infected port, has had neither death nor case of plague on board, either before departure, during the voyage, or at the time of arrival.
Injected ships are submitted to the following regime :-
1. The sick are immediately landed and isolated.
2. If possible, the other persons should be landed also and submitted to an observation or an inspection whose length shall vary according to the sanitary state of the ship, and to the date of the last case, without however exceeding ten days.
3. Dirty linen, articles in use, and things belonging to the crew or passengers that, in the opinion of the port Sanitary Authority are considered contaminated, shall be disinfected.
4. The bilge-water, after disinfection, shall be discharged: and good potable water shall be
substituted for that stored on board.
5. All parts of the ship that have been made use of by the plague-stricken must be disinfected.
A more thorough disinfection may be ordered by the local Sanitary Authority.
Suspected ships shall submit to the measures given below :-
1. Medical inspection.
2. Disinfection: dirty linen, articles in use as well as the belongings of both crew and passengers which, in the opinion of the local Sanitary Authority, are considered contami-
nated, shall be disinfected.
3. Discharge of bilge-water after disinfection, and substitution of good potable water for
that stored on board.
1. Disinfection of all parts of the ship made use of by those having plague. A more thorough
disinfection may be ordered by the local Sanitary Authority.
It is recommended that both crew and passengers be submitted to an inspection with respect to their state of health for ten days dating from the arrival of the ship.
It is further recommended that, except on actual business connected with the ship,
the crew be not allowed to land.
* The word "observation" means isolation of travellers, either on board or in a lazaretto, before being granted free pratique.
The word "inspection" [surveillance] means travellers shall not be isolated, they at once get free pratique, but are followed to their
various destinations and are submitted te medical examination reporting their state of health.
‧
1296
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
Plague-free ships shall be admitted to immediate free pratique, whatever the character of their Bill of Health.
The sole regime that the authority of the port of arrival can impose on them consists in the measures applicable to suspected ships (medical inspection, disinfection. discharge of bilge-water and substitution of good potable water for that stored on board), except always those matters connected with the disinfection of the ship.
It is recommended that the crew and passengers be put under ten days' observation, with regard to their state of health, reckoning from the day the ship left the infected port.
It is further advisable not to allow the landing of the crew, except for reasons of duty.
It is understood that the competent authority of the port of arrival may always demand a medical certificate from the ship's doctor, or in his absence, from the Master, and under oath, attesting that there has been no case of plague on board since setting out.
The competent authority of the port shall take into account, in applying these measures, the presence of a medical man and of disinfecting gear on board ships mentioned in the three above cate- gories.
Special measures may be prescribed with respect to crowded ships, notably to emigrant ships, or to any ship exhibiting bad hygienic conditions.
Goods arriving by sea cannot be treated otherwise than goods carried overland, in respect of dis- infection, of prohibition against importation and transit, and of quarantine.
Every ship, unwilling to be submitted to the conditions imposed by the Port Authority, shall always be at liberty to put back to sea.
Such ship may be authorised to land its goods, after the necessary precautions have been taken, to wit:-
It
1. Isolation of ship, crew and passengers ;
2. Discharge of bilge-water after disinfection;
3. Substitution of good potable water for that stored on board.
may also be empowered to land such passengers as wish to do so, on condition that they submit to the measures prescribed by the Local Authority.
Each country must provide at least one port on each of the seas of its coastline with the organisation and equipment adequate to accommodate a ship whatever its sanitary condition may be.
Coasting vessels will be the object of a special regime to be established by common accord between the countries interested.
SECTION 9.-MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IN RESPECT OF SHIPS COMING FROM AN INFECTED
.PORT AND ASCENDING THE DANUBE.
Until the port of Sulina be provided with good potable water, ascending ships should be sub- mitted to rigorous hygienic discipline.
Overcrowding of passengers shall be strictly forbidden.
Ships entering Roumania by the Danube shall be stopped for medical inspection, and until disin- fecting operations have been carried out.
Ships presenting themselves at Sulina must submit to one medical inspection, or more, by daylight, before being allowed to proceed up the Danube. Each morning, at an appointed hour, the doctor shall make sure of the state of health of the entire staff of the ship, and shall not allow it to proceed, until he is satisfied that this condition is satisfactory. He shall hand to the Master or boatman, free of charge, a sanitary passport, Bill of Health, or Certificate the production of which shall be demanded at subsequent stopping-places.
There shall be one visit each day. The length of detention at Sulina, for non-infected ships, shall not exceed six days. Disinfection of contaminated linen shall be effected immediately on arrival.
Potable water of good quality shall be substituted for that stored on board. Bilge-water shall be disinfected.
The measures just indicated shall only be applicable to arrivals from plague-infected ports. It is quite understood that a ship coming from a non-infected port, if unwilling to undergo the foregoing restrictive measures, may refuse passengers from an infected port.
The regime for suspected and infected ships shall be the same as at other European ports.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
1297
CHAPTER III.--INSTRUCTIONS RECOMMENDED FOR CARRYING OUT DISINFECTION. 1. Wearing apparel, old rags, infected dressings, papers and other valueless articles shall be des- troyed by fire.
2. Linen, bedding, clothes, mattresses, carpets, etc., contaminated or suspected, shall be disin- fected in disinfecting houses at normal pressure or at a pressure of from one-and-a-half to two atmos- pheres with or without circulation of saturated steam.
To be considered as efficient means of disinfection, these disinfecting houses must be submitted to tests, indicating by the aid of a signal thermometer (i.e., thermometer with electric bell attachment), the time at which the actual temperature reached in the middle of the mattress is at least 100° C.
To be sure of the efficacy of the operation such temperature must be maintained for from ten to fifteen minutes.
3. Disinfecting solutions-
(a.) Solution of corrosive sublimate [perchloride of Mercury] of 1 per 1,000, with ten grains
of chloride of Sodium added.
This solution shall be tinted with aniline blue or with indigo blue. It shall not be put in metal vessels.
(b.) A 5% solution of pure crystallised carbolic acid; or of coarse, crude or trade carbolic
acid, also 5%, in a warm solution of soft soap.
(c.) Lime-wash freshly prepared.*
*
4. Special recommendations to be employed in the case of disinfecting solutions-
Linen clothes and articles soiled with the evacuations of the sick shall be plunged into the corrosive sublimate solution. The solution of pure carbolic acid, or the soapy carbolized solution will do just as well for the same purpose. The articles shall stop in the solution six hours at least.
Articles of leather, glued wood, felt, velvet, silk, etc., that cannot, without deterioration, bear the temperature [100° C.] of the disinfecting house, shall be washed in the corrosive sublimate solution. Coins may be disinfected by the soapy carbolized solution.
The attendants on the sick shall wash their hands and face in the corrosive sublimate solution, or in either of the carbolic solutions.
Carbolized solutions shall also serve to disinfect articles that will bear neither a temperature of 100° C. nor contact with the solution of corrosive sublimate, such as metals, instruments, etc.
Lime-wash is especially, recommended for the disinfection of stools and vomit. Sputum and purulent matters must be destroyed by fire.
5. Disinfection of ships occupied by plague patients-
The cabin or cabins, and all parts of the ship occupied by the sick or suspected sick shall be vacated; all articles therein shall be dealt with according to the preceding rules.
Walls shall be disinfected by means of the sublimate solution, mixed with 10% of alcohol. Spraying shall be done by beginning with the upper part of the wall, following a horizontal line, and descending gradually, so that the whole surface may be coated with a covering of fine drops.
The floor boards shall be washed with the same solution.
Two hours later, both walls and floor boards shall be plentifully scoured and swilled with water.
6. Disinfecting the hold of an infected ship-
To do this, first inject a sufficient quantity of sulphate of iron, in order to neutralise the sulphu- retted hydrogen; then get rid of the bilge-water, wash out the hold with sea-water, and inject a certain quantity of the solution of corrosive sublimate.
Bilge-water must not be pumped out in harbour.
*To get very active lime-wash, take quick lime of good quality, slake it with half its weight of water, little by little. When slaking has been effected, lodge the powder in a carefully stoppered receptacle, and put in a dry place. As one kilogram of lime, which absorbs five hundred grams of water to become slaked, has acquired a volume of 2.2 litres, it is enough to dilute it with twice its bulk of water, ?., 1.4 kilograms to get lime-wash representing a 20% solution.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH AUGUST, 1900.
CHAPTER IV.-PREVENTIVE MEASURES RECOMMENDED TO BE TAKEN ABOARD SHIPS
AT THE TIME OF DEPARTURE, DURING THE JOURNEY, AND ON ARRIVAL.
Note. The transmission of plague appears to occur through the agency of the excretory matter of those sick [sputum, evacuations], the morbid products [suppuration of buboes, of boils, etc.]; and, consequently, through linen, clothes and soiled hands.
SECTION 1.--MEASURES TO BE TAKEN ON THE POINT OF DEPARTURE.
1. The Master shall see that persons suspected of being infected with plague are not allowed to come on board. He shall refuse to receive on board linen-apparel, bedding, and generally all suspected or dirty articles.
Articles of bedding, clothes, apparel, etc., that have belonged to plague patients, shall not be admitted on board.
2. Before embarcation, the ship shall be put in a state of perfect cleanliness; if need be, it shall be disinfected.
3. It is essential that the potable water taken aboard comes from a source absolutely free from all possibility of contamination.
Water is free from danger if boiled or distilled.
SECTION 2.-MEASURES TO BE TAKEN DURING THE VOYAGE.
1. It is desirable that a special place in each ship be reserved for the isolation of persons suffering from an infectious disease.
2. If no such place exists, the cabin or other place in which a person is infected with plague shall be interdicted to others. Those charged with the care of the sick should alone be allowed to
enter.
These latter shall themselves be isolated from all contact with other persons.
3. Bedding, linen, clothing that has been in contact with the sick shall, in the sick person's room, be plunged into a disinfecting solution. The same course shall be pursued with the clothing of those in attendance, as it may have been soiled.
Such articles as are of no value shall be burnt or thrown overboard, provided that the ship is not in a port or a canal. Others shall be taken to the disinfecting room, in impermeable bags washed in a solution of corrosive sublimate, in such way as to avoid contact with surrounding articles.
In the absence aboard of a disinfecting room, these articles shall stay in the disinfecting solution for six hours.
4. The excretory matters of the sick [sputum, focal matters and urine] shall be collected in a vessel into which shall have been previously poured a portion of the disinfecting solution indicated above.
Such excretions shall be at once emptied into the commodes, which latter shall be rigorously disinfected on each occasion when so used.
5. The places occupied by the sick shall be strictly disinfected, following the rules already given. 6. Dead bodies, previously wrapped in a shroud impregnated with corrosive sublimate, shall be cast into the sea.
7. All prophylactic measures carried out during the voyage shall be recorded in the ship's log, which shall be produced to the Sanitary Authority on arrival in port.
8. These provisions shall be applied to all who come in contact with the sick, whatever the gravity and ultimate issue of the sickness.
SECTION 3.-MEASURES TO BE TAKEN ON ARRIVAL.
1. If the ship be infected, the persons infected shall be landed and isolated in a special place. Individuals who have been in contact with the sick shall be regarded as suspected.
2. All contaminated articles, such as clothes, bedding, mattresses, carpets, and other things that have been in contact with the sick person, the clothes of those who have waited on the sick person, the articles in the sick person's cabin, and in the cabins, the deck, or those parts of it that have been made use of by the sick person shall be disinfected,

1. The carrying out and superintendence of measures against the introduction of plague, as decreed by the present Convention. are entrusted, throughout the extent of the jurisdiction of the Higher Board of Health of Constantinaple, to the Committee established by Article 1 of Annex IV of the Paris Convention, dated April 4th, 1894, with this explanatory proviso, that the members of this Committee shall be taken exclusively from the Higher Board of Health of Constantinople and shall represent the Powers that have adhered or that shall adhere to the Sanitary Convention of Venice 1892, to that of Dresden 1893, to that of Paris 1894, and to that of Venice 1897.
2. The corps of properly qualified doctors, disinfectors, and well trained mechanics, and of Sanitary Guards recruited among men who have done military service, either as officers or non-commissioned officers, provided for in Article 2 of Annex IV of the same Convention, is charged with seeing to the proper working of the different Sanitary establishments enumerated and instituted by these Regula-
tions.
3. The establishment expenses of Sanitary posts, permanent or temporary, provided for by the present Convention, as far as the construction of buildings is concerned, are to be borne by the Ottoman Government. The Higher Board of Health of Constantinople at need, or as a matter of urgency, is authorised to advance the necessary sums from reserves with which it shall be furnished at its own request by the "Mixed Committee charged with the revision of the Sanitary Tariff." In this case, it shall supervise the erection of these establishments.
4. The Higher Board of Health of Constantinople must, in addition, organize, without delay, the Sanitary Establishments at Hannikim and at Kizil Dize, near Bayazid, on the Turco-Persian and Turco-Russian frontiers, by means of funds that are at its immediate disposal.
5. Articles 4, 5 and 6, of Annex IV of the Paris Convention of 1894, are applicable to the pro- visions of the present Regulations.
Jurisdiction of the Egyptian Sanitary, Maritime and Quarantine Board.
6. The expenses resulting from the measures provided by the Regulations contained in the Convention may be covered by the following means which the Conference has recommended, as much for the new installations at Moses' Wells, as for the increase of staff attached to the Sanitary Board :--- (a.) Prorogation, with the assent of the Powers, of the Khedival Decree of December 28th, 1896, [fixing for July 1st, 1897, the coming into force of the reducd scale of Light- dues] till such time as the difference between the returns of the actual tariff and those of the reduced tariff, shall have reached the sum of £E4,000. The sum thus realised shall be utilised for extraordinary expenses [new installations at Moses' Wells.]
(b.) For ordinary expenses [increase of staff] an annual payment to the Sanitary Board, by the Egyptian Government of a sum of £E4,000, which might be levied on the Light Service surplus remaining at the disposal of this Government. In any case, there shall be deducted from that sum the produce of a supplementary quarantine tax of P.T. 10 [Tariff piastres,] per pilgrim, to be collected at El Tor.
In case the Egyptian Government should see difficulties in supporting this part of the expenses, the Powers represented on the Sanitary Board shall come to an arrange- ment with the Khedive's Government, in order to assure the participation of this latter in the expenses contemplated.

4. The Higher Board of Health of Constantinople must, in addition, organize, without delay, the Sanitary Establishments at Hannikim and at Kizil Dize, near Bayazid, on the Turco-Persian and Turco-Russian frontiers, by means of funds that are at its immediate disposal.
5. Articles 4, 5 and 6, of Annex IV of the Paris Convention of 1894, are applicable to the pro- visions of the present Regulations.
Jurisdiction of the Egyptian Sanitary, Maritime and Quarantine Board.
6. The expenses resulting from the measures provided by the Regulations contained in the Convention may be covered by the following means which the Conference has recommended, as much for the new installations at Moses' Wells, as for the increase of staff attached to the Sanitary Board :--- (a.) Prorogation, with the assent of the Powers, of the Khedival Decree of December 28th, 1896, [fixing for July 1st, 1897, the coming into force of the reducd scale of Light- dues] till such time as the difference between the returns of the actual tariff and those of the reduced tariff, shall have reached the sum of £E4,000. The sum thus realised shall be utilised for extraordinary expenses [new installations at Moses' Wells.]
(b.) For ordinary expenses [increase of staff] an annual payment to the Sanitary Board, by the Egyptian Government of a sum of £E4,000, which might be levied on the Light Service surplus remaining at the disposal of this Government. In any case, there shall be deducted from that sum the produce of a supplementary quarantine tax of P.T. 10 [Tariff piastres,] per pilgrim, to be collected at El Tor.
In case the Egyptian Government should see difficulties in supporting this part of the expenses, the Powers represented on the Sanitary Board shall come to an arrange- ment with the Khedive's Government, in order to assure the participation of this latter in the expenses contemplated.

Minutes. The minutes of regular meeting No. 18 held on the 16th day of August, 1900, as well as those of a confidential meeting held on the same day, were confirmed.
The late Lieutenant-Colonel Ryan, R.A.M.C.-The Vice-President addressed the Board and moved-
That the Board place on record its deep regret at the loss sustained by the Board in the death of Lieutenant-
Colonel Ryan, R.A.M.C.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN in seconding said, that Lieutenant-Colonel RYAN bad taken a very great interest in all matters relating to the sanitation of the Colony and at the time of his death was actually preparing a scheme for dealing more effectively with our recurring outbreaks of Bubonic Plague.
The Proposed Dairy Bye-laws.-These Bye-laws, the consideration of which had been postponed, were again. submitted.
After several alterations had been made, it was agreed that a copy of the proposed Bye-laws should be sent to the lead- ing Dairies in the Colony for any suggestions that they may wish to make.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN now rose to a point of order and moved-
That the letter from the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon relative to the Inspector's Quarters at Kennedy Town be
taken out of the list of confidential business and considered as an Order of the Day."
Mr. JAMES MCKIE seconded.
Mr. OSBORNE supported the motion. Question-put and agreed to.
‧
The Inspector's Quarters at Kennedy Town.-A letter from the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon regarding the unsuitability of the Inspector's Quarters at Kennedy Town and suggesting that the Board request His Excellency the Governor to reconsider the decision relative to this matter, embodied in C.S.O. letter dated October 23rd, was considered.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN addressed the Board and moved-
That the Government be requested to provide suitable quarters for the Inspector of the City Slaughter-House and Cattle Depots, the house at Kennedy Town now occupied by him being most unhealthy, and in its present position unfit for human habitation.
Mr. JAMES MCKIE seconded, and expressed the opinion that the Quarters were not so well ventilated as the sheds in which the cattle were housed.
Mr. OSBORNE strongly supported the motion.
The Vice-President thought it would be better to have a definite suggestion to make to Government, and therefore moved as an amendment-
That the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Hartigan and Mr. McKie be appointed a Committee for the purpose
of selecting a site and reporting as to what style of house should be built upon it.
The Acting Director of Public Works seconded.
1392
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH SEPTEMBER, 1900.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN having, with the consent of the Board, withdrawn his motion, the amendment thus became a substantive resolution.
Question-put and agreed to.
Trough Water Closet.-An application for the retention of a Trough Water Closet of five seats at the Military Married Quarters, East Block, was considered.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN addressed the Board and moved-
That the application be granted on condition that an adequate water supply independent of the public water
service can be provided.
The Medical Officer of Health seconded.
The Board divided on the motion

The motion was therefore carried.
Against.
Mr. JAMES MCKIE.
At this point the Vice-President owing to an important engagement had to vacate the chair.
On the motion of Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE seconded by Mr. JAMES MCKIE, the Medical Officer of Health was unani- mously voted to the chair.
Section 7 of Ordinance 34 of 1899.-A letter applying for exemption from opening up backyards to No. 45, Jervois Street, and No. 4, Burd Street, was considered.
The Medical Officer of Health addressed the Board in explanation of the latter part of the letter under consideration, which stated that new houses could be built under Section 8, Sub-section (a) of Ordinance 34 of 1899 exactly similar to these houses for which exemption was requested and it seems therefore only reasonable that these should be allowed to stand, and moved-
That this application be refused.
The Acting Director of Public Works seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
Papers.-The following papers were laid on the table-
1. The papers relative to the closing of the Tung Wa Branch Plague Hospital.

SIR,
With reference to my circular despatch of the 27th March last, relative to certain changes in the French Customs Tariff and the concessions which the French Government are prepared ultimately to Inake in exchange for equivalent advantages to be given to French products, I have the honour to transmit to you a copy of a despatch addressed to the Foreign Office by Her Majesty's Ambassador in Paris, stating, with reference to an arrangement which has been made between the Governments of France and Brazil with regard to the duty on Brazilian coffee and on French products admitted into Brazil, that there is every reason to hope that the French Law authorizing the increase of duties on Colonial produce will not be put into effect, and that there will be no question of a change in the duties upon goods imported into France from British Dominions and Colonies as long as the latter make no alterations in the Tariffs affecting French Goods.
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
Enclosure in Circular of 30th July, 1900.

No. 183. Commercial.
MY LORD,
PARIS, July 3rd, 1900.
The information contained in my despatch, No. 153 Commercial, of the 5th ultimo, with regard to the probable early termination of the commercial difficulty between France and Brazil, is confirmed by an official announcement that the French Government have consented to a diminution of 20 franes in the import duty on coffees, which will now be reduced from 156 to 136 francs per 100 kilos.
Although no official statement has yet been made, there is every reason to hope that the Law authorizing the increase of duties on Colonial produce will not be put into effect, and that there will be no question of a change in the duties upon goods imported into France from British Dominions and Colonies as long as the latter make no alterations in the tariffs affecting French goods.
I enclose a copy of the announcement in the Press above referred to.

LES DEBATS, 3 JUILLET, 1900.
Les Cafes Bresiliens.
Les pourparlers engages depuis la fin de l'annee dernier sur la question des cafes entre les gou- vernements francais et bresilien a l'effet d'eviter l'application d'un droit differentiel aux produits francais importes au Bresil, viennent d'aboutir a la conclusion d'un modus vivendi.
Il a ete convenue entre les gouvernements que, moyennant la reduction de 20 fr. qui sera faite par la France sur le droit d'importation du cafe ramene ainsi de 166 fr. a 136 fr. les 100 kilog: le statu que sera maintenu; les produits francais continueront donc a ne payer a l'importation au Bresil que les taxes minima du tariff bresilien. Ce modus vivendi ne pourra prendre fin que s'il est denonce six mois a l'avance.

Repeal.
41. The following Ordinances are hereby repealed :--
Ordinance No. 1 of 1887. Ordinance No. 22 of 1889.
Ordinance No. 10 of 1894. Ordinance No. 19 of 1896. Ordinance No. 5 of 1900.
Objects and Reasons.
This Ordinance consolidates into one the five Ordinances relating to the Post Office which it repeals. It makes only one alteration in the law, namely, the addition in section 6, ss. (2), of the words "shall be conveyed in the Colony otherwise than by the post," referring to letters not exempted by law. In England, by 7 Will. 4 & 1 Vict. c. 36, sec. 2, it is made an offence"
to convey otherwise than by post any letter not exempted from the exclusive privilege of the Postmaster General ;" and similar words are now added to the local Ordinance in order to more effectually meet cases where Chinese and others bring packets of non-exempted letters into the Colony with a view of delivering them otherwise than by post, but are discovered before actual delivery has taken place. After the letters have been actually delivered to the addressees discovery of the offender is difficult. The Acting Post- master General and the Magistrate both consider that the addition of the words in question will make the law clearer and more satisfactory upon this point.

BILL
ENTITLED
An Ordinance to amend the Law with respect to the Jurisdiction exerciseable in cases relat- ing to the Receipt or Possession of Stolen. Property.
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 Larceny Ordinance, 1900, and shall be read and construed as one with Ordinance No. 7 of 1865, and the two Ordinances may be cited together as The Larceny Ordinances, 1865 and 1900.
2.-(1.) If any person without lawful excuse receives, or has in his possession in this Colony, any property stolen outside the Colony, knowing such property to have been stolen, he shall be liable to imprisonment with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding seven years.
(2.) For the purposes of this section, property shall be deemed to have been stolen where it has been taken, extorted, obtained, embezzled, converted, or disposed of, under such circumstances that, if the act had been com- mitted in this Colony, the person committing it would have been guilty of an indictable offence according to the law for the time being in force in this Colony.
(3.) An offence under this section shall be a felony or misdemeanour according as the act committed outside this Colony would have been a felony or misdemeanour if com- mitted in the Colony.
Objects and Reasons.
This Ordinance renders the law of Hongkong similar to that of England. The defect which the Ordinance is intended to make good existed also in English Law till August, 1896, when the Imperial Act, 59 & 60 Viet. cap. 52, with which this Ordinance is substantially identical in terms, was passed to apply a remedy.

A BILL
ENTITLED
An Ordinance to extend the operation of such of the Laws of this Colony as are not at present in force in the New Territories to a certain portion of such New Territories.
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 Extension of Laws Short title. Ordinance, 1900.
2. In this Ordinance, unless the context otherwise re- Interpreta- quires,─
21
The expression "New Territories means the addi- tional territories acquired by this Colony under the Convention dated the 9th day of June, 1898, be- tween Her Majesty Queen Victoria and His Ma- jesty the Emperor of China, for the enlargement of the limits of this Colony, including the City of Kowloon.
tion.
3. All the laws and Ordinances now in force in this Extension of Colony which do not at present apply to the New Terri- laws to a
portion of tories, and all rules, regulations, bye-laws, Orders in Council, the New notifications, and proclamations, made thereunder shall, Territoriest from the date of the passing of this Ordinance, be and the same are hereby extended to, and declared to be in force in, that portion of the said New Territories which is delineated and shown upon a plan marked "the Kowloon Range Southern Drainage Area", signed by the Director of Public Works and countersigned by the Governor and deposited in the Land Office of this Colony.
4. Where in any law or Ordinance so extended as in the preceding section mentioned, or in any rule, regulation, bye-law, Order in Council, notification or proclamation made thereunder, the term "Kowloon" is used, as referring to geographical limit or extent, such term shall, hereafter, unless the context or subject-matter otherwise requires, be deemed to include that portion of the New Territories specified in section 3 hereof.
Objects and Reasons.
That portion of the New Territories, between Laichikok and Lyeemoon Pass, which drains in a southerly direction from the Kowloon Mountain Range, is so closely connected with what used to be known as British Kowloon, that it is desirable that the laws in force in the latter should apply equally to the former district.
It may, at first sight, appear that it will be difficult to enforce compliance at once with all the requirements of some of the Ordinances which were declared by Ordinance No. 10 of 1899 not to apply to the New Territories. All that is really required, however, is consideration and tact in the administration of such laws; and the alternative would appear to be either to leave the district in question with no Sanitary, Building, or Licensing laws or else to pass new Ordinances applying only to that district. The latter course would be to make one set of laws applicable to the Colony generally, a second set to part of the New Territories, and a third set applicable to the rest of such New Territories.
It is difficult to see why laws applicable to the southern half of a village like Sam Shui Po, for instance, should not be equally capable of application to its northern half.
Section 4 is intended to meet cases, such as sections 13, 54, 55, and 57 of Ordinance No. 24 of 1887, where such expressions as "the villages and rural districts of Hong- kong and Kowloon" are used.

ENTITLED
An Ordinance to further amend The Raw Opium
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 Raw Opium Amendment Ordinance, 1900, and shall be read and con- strued as one with Ordinance No. 22 of 1887 (as amended by Ordinance No. 22 of 1891) hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance.
2. The following additional section shall be inserted after section 10 of the principal Ordinance, and be num- bered 10 (▲) :--
10 (A). The Superintendent shall furnish the master of every vessel (including junks) carrying opium for export, with a memorandum containing the particulars furnished in schedule D, and no vessel carrying opium shall, subject to the provisions of section 12, depart from the Colony without such memorandumi.
The Superintendent shall also, in the case of a steamer, forward a duplicate of such memorandum, by post, to the Commissioner of Chinese Imperial Mari- time Customs at the port of destination.
And, in the case of a junk, or steam launch, he shall forward the said duplicate memorandum to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank at Hongkong, for transmission to the Commissioner of Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs controlling the Customs Station through which such opium is to pass.
3. The following additional section shall be inserted after section 12 of the principal Ordinance, and be num- bered 12 (A) :-
12 (A). In the event of the departure from the Colony, of any steamer carrying opium, before ap- plication for an export permit can be made, (in the circumstances stated in section 12) the Superintendent shall, upon receipt of the requisite particulars, tele- graph the same to the Commissioner of Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs at the port of destination, and forward, as soon as practicable, the memorandum provided for in section 10A. to the said Commissioner. 4. The master of any vessel departing from the Colony without the memorandum required by section 10A (ex- cept in the case provided for by section 12) shall be liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty not exceeding five hundred dollars.
Objects and Reasons.
The amendments of the Law relating to opium effected by this Ordinance are made with the view of assisting the Chinese Government in the collection of revenue from the import of raw opium and of rendering smuggling more difficult. The second section requires the Superintendent of Imports and Exports to furnish the master of every ves- sel carrying opium for export with a memorandum con- taining certain particulars as to such opium, and it requires him to forward a duplicate of such memorandum for the information of the proper Commissioner of Chinese Im- perial Maritime Customs. It also forbids the departure of any vessel carrying opium, without such memorandum, subject to the provisions of section twelve of the principal Ordinance. The third section provides that, in cases within that section twelve, that is where steamers are allowed to depart before application for a permit can be made, the Superintendent should telegraph to the Com- missioner of Customs the requisite particulars, sending on the memorandum as soon as practicable. The fourth section provides a penalty for any infringement, by the master of a vessel, of the requirements of the second section. This system should keep the Customs Commissioners well in- formed of all opium exported from this Colony to China. W. MEIGH GOODMAN, Attorney General,

UPON receipt of your letter 11496 of the 20th ultimo, respecting the suggested abolition of the French Consular fee on certificates of origin vised by French Consuls in Canada, the Board of Trade was consulted; and I am now directed by the Marquess of Salisbury to transmit to you a copy of a letter from that Department on the subject.
The Board are in favour of ascertaining whether the French Government would be disposed to extend to Canada the agreement recently arrived at with regard to the attestation of certificates of origin for goods passing between the United Kingdom and France. Lord Salisbury is, however, disposed to think that the agreement might with advantage be still further extended so as to cover-
(a) Certificates of origin issued or vised by French Consuls in all British Colonies and
Possessions, and
(b) Those issued or vised by British Consuls in all French Colonies and Possessions.
I am to enquire whether Mr. Secretary Chamberlain concurs in this suggestion, or is of opinion that the proposal should be restricted to Canada.

Consular fee charged by French Consuls in Canada for attesting certificates of origin, and asking for the observations of this Department. In reply, I am to state that, in the opinion of the Board of Trade, it would be desirable to ascertain from the French Government whether they would be dis- posed to enter into an arrangement extending to Canada the agreement recently arrived at with regard to fees for the attestation of certificates of origin for goods passing between the United Kingdom and France-that is to say, an arrangement suspending the fees charged by British Consuls in France for attesting certificates for goods destined for Canada, and, reciprocally, the fees charged by French Consuls in Canada for goods destined for France. In the opinion of the Board, the extension of such exemptions would be of advantage as tending to relieve trade from hindrances, even though of a minor nature.

Vous ajoutiez que si le Gouvernement francais ne voyait pas d'objections a cette proposition, le Gouvernement britannique serait dispose a envoyer a ses agents consulaires resident dans les colonies et possessions Francaises des instructions leur prescrivant de ne plus percevoir des taxes pour les certificats d'origine.
J'ai l'honneur de vous faire connaitre que le Gouvernement francais ne verrait que des avantages a ce que les dispositions de l'entente intervenue entre les deux Gouvernements au mois de Novembre dernier fussent etendues aux colonies et possessions francaises et britanniques. Je vais en conse- quence, prescrire a nos agents consulaires dans les colonies et possessions de la Grande Bretagne, de ne plus percevoir, desormais, de taxes de Chancellerie pour la delivrance, le visa et la legislation des certificats d'origne. Je vous serais oblige de vouloir bien me faire connaitre que le Gouvernement britannique a, de son cote, adresse des instructions dans le meme sens a ses agents dans les colonies et possessions Francaises.
Je crois devoir ajouter qu'ainsi qu'il a ete specifie dans l'echange de lettres du mois de Novembre, 1899, le Gouvernement francais se reserve de mettre fin a toute epoque aux dispositions de l'entente dont il s'agit.

CIRCULAR.
SIR,
With reference to my Circular despatch of the 17th July, 1899, I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication in the Colony under your Government, copies of a further Memorandum issued by the Board of Agriculture relative to the importation of dogs into Great Britain from abroad.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
J. CHAMBERLAIN.
BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
MEMORANDUM AS TO THE IMPORTATION OF DOGS INTO GREAT BRITAIN FROM ABROAD.
1. The disease of rabies in dogs and of hydrophobia in man, which remains prevalent in almost all other parts of the world, has become practically extinct in this country, and the Regulations of the Board are designed to prevent its re-introduction.
2. The importation of dogs into Great Britain from any foreign country, or British possession other than the Channel Islands, without the sanction of the Board is prohibited by Orders made under the Diseases of Animals Acts* ; and the landing of a dog from abroad (whether originally exported from Great Britain or not) will, unless a licence has previously been obtained, render the owner liable to a penalty of £20 and the possible seizure of the dog.
3. Every person who wishes to import a dog must make application in writing for the necessary licence, on a form which will be supplied for the purpose, and the form should be accompanied by a letter addressed to The Secretary, Board of Agriculture, 4, Whitehall Place, London, S. W., explaining the circumstances under which the application is made, and stating how long the dog has been in the possession and personal charge of the applicant. It is to be understood, however, that an application is not necessarily followed by the issue of a licence to land the dog, and that the Board cannot sanc- tion the landing of dogs which usually live abroad, but which their owners while on a visit to this country wish to bring with them.
4. Every application must be made by the person who will be the owner of the dog during the period of detention in this country, and it should be forwarded in sufficient time to enable the Board to inake full inquiries into the circumstances and as to the suitability of the premises in which it is pro- posed that the dog should be isolated, and to permit of their decision being communicated to the applicant before the dog is embarked. Masters of vessels cannot properly accept a dog for shipment to Great Britain from abroad unless the licence is produced at the port of embarkation, and they are liable to prosecution if the dog is landed illegally.
5. In order that the Board may have it on record that the conditions on which alone a licence can be issued are fully understood, the applicant must sign the undertaking set out in one or other of
the forms.
* NOTE.-The Dogs (Landing from Ireland) Order of 1899 imposes similar restrictions on the landing in Great Britain of dogs from
Ireland.
1472
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH OCTOBER, 1900.
6. Unless the dog to be imported has, at the date of the application, been in the personal charge of the applicant during the preceding three months, the Board can only authorise its landing under a licence, Form A, requiring the detention and isolation of the dog for six months. Such licences are only issued where arrangements have previously been made for the detention of the dog for that period at an isolation station approved by the Board, at the expense of the owner, and at his risk. At the present time the only isolation station so approved is The Dog Sanatorium, Beddington Lane, Mitcham, Surrey, to the Manager of which establishment communications respecting terms, etc., should be addressed.
7. Dogs landed with licences, Form A, should be forwarded in crates or hampers, and with the utmost possible expedition, to the isolation station.
8. If, however, the applicant is able to declare that the dog has been in his personal charge for three months, he may apply for a licence, Form B, which requires the detention of the dog for a period of six months on some suitable private premises to be specified by the applicant, and approved by the Board, where the dog will be under the supervision of the officers of the Board and of the Local Authority, for whose inspection it should be produced when required. If, however, the general con- ditions imposed are properly carried out, the Board are prepared, on the production of a certificate of a duly qualified veterinary surgeon that the dog is not affected with, or suspected of, rabies, to con- sider applications for the release of the dog after a period of ninety days.
9. The applicant's private place of residence is regarded in most instances as a suitable place of detention for a dog detained under a licence, Form B, provided that he is the householder, and that no other dogs are kept upon the premises. Hotels, flats, lodgings, barracks, or other similar premises where the dog cannot be conveniently isolated, or where the owner of the dog cannot guarantee that the animal can be detained for the full period required by the Board, are not regarded as suitable places of detention. For a similar reason private residences are seldom suitable where more than one dog is to be imported. If the applicant has no fixed residence where the dog can be kept under his own charge, arrangements should be made for the detention of the dog for the necessary period at an isolation station, or on the premises of an experienced veterinary surgeon.
10. On arrival at a port in Great Britain, and before the dog can be landed, the holder of the licence is required to produce it for the inspection of the officer of Her Majesty's Customs.
11. The licence requires the dog when landed, to be taken by the nearest available route, and without unnecessary delay, to the premises specified therein, and the arrival of the dog there must at once be notified in writing to the Board.
12. Where, however, dogs admitted under a licence, Form B, are landed late in the day, and the place of detention is distant from the port, the Board do not object to the journey of the dog being broken by its detention at some suitable place for one night, provided that it is kept apart from all other dogs, and that the journey is thereafter completed with reasonable dispatch.
13. The licence should be retained by the person in compliance with the conditions prescribed in the licence
charge of the dog who is responsible for The licence must be returned to the Board at the end of the period of detention, or at once if it is not made use of.
14. The dog cannot in any case be moved from the place of detention to other premises in the United Kingdom without a further licence from the Board. Where the Board are satisfied that excep- tional circumstances have arisen which render the removal of a dog detained under a licence, Form B, necessary or expedient, they are prepared to consider an application for a removal licence, provided it is not proposed to remove the dog from a rural to an urban district, or from the original premises to a less suitable place of detention. Unless the dog is to be taken from the private residence of the owner to another house in his occupation, the premises of an experienced veterinary surgeon should be specified as the place of detention, and the removal cannot be authorised unless the dog can be detained at the second address for the remainder of the period of detention.
15. Where satisfactory arrangements of the character above indicated cannot be made by the owner, the dog must be detained at the premises first specified, or removed to such place as the Board may direct.
16. During the period of detention under a licence, Form B, the dog, when temporarily moved for exercise as provided in the licence, must be properly muzzled with a wire cage muzzle, and in charge of a competent person, and the former condition is also applicable when the dog in likely at any time to be brought into contact with other dogs.
17. Should a dog die, or be lost, whilst under detention, the fact should be at once reported to the Board, together with full information as to the symptoms preceding death, or the circumstances in which the loss took place. In the event of the dog sickening with any of the symptoms of rabies, it should be at once isolated, and the advice of a veterinary surgeon obtained.
18. A dog detained under a licence of the Board cannot be moved to a vessel for exportation. without a further licence of the Board.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH OCTOBER, 1900. 1473
19. Licences are issued by the Board to land performing dogs, if it can be shown that the dogs have been trained to take part in performances for the entertainment of the public, and that they are to be imported for that purpose only, and that they are under an actual engagement to perform immediately on arrival. These licences require that during a period of 90 days dogs so admitted shall be isolated from contact with all other dogs, that they shall not be taken into any public place unless properly muzzled in the manner set out in the licence, and that during that period the Board shall at all times be kept informed of the premises upon which the dogs are detained. Satisfactory evidence must also be afforded that the animals are habitually kept apart from all other dogs, whether in this country or abroad.
20. For the convenience of persons passing through Great Britain the Board are prepared, in special cases, to issue licences for the landing of dogs to be exported within a very few days. Appli- cations for such licences should specify the ports, the names of the vessels, the dates of their arrival and departure, and the address of some suitable place where the dog can be detained during the period that it remains in Great Britain. The licence in this case should be endorsed by an officer of the vessel of departure, and returned to the Board by the owner. The dog cannot again be landed in Great Britain without a further licence.
21. The experience of the Board has clearly shown that the frequent movement of pet dogs to and from the Continent involves this country in serious danger, inasmuch as a pet dog may become infected with rabies without the knowledge and despite the utmost care on the part of its owner. It is therefore a matter of great importance to owners of dogs in Great Britain that dogs from abroad should only be admitted in instances where it has been satisfactorily established that some useful pur- pose will be served by their admission, or where a pet dog would otherwise be separated from its owner for a prolonged period. Pet dogs should not be taken abroad and thus exposed to the risk of infection, except in cases of real necessity.
22. The Board earnestly invite the cordial co-operation of dogowners in carrying out regulations which have been designed with a view to minimise the risk of re-introducing a very terrible disease.

These licences require that during a period of 90 days dogs so admitted shall be isolated from contact with all other dogs, that they shall not be taken into any public place unless properly muzzled in the manner set out in the licence, and that during that period the Board shall at all times be kept informed of the premises upon which the dogs are detained. Satisfactory evidence must also be afforded that the animals are habitually kept apart from all other dogs, whether in this country or abroad.
20. For the convenience of persons passing through Great Britain the Board are prepared, in special cases, to issue licences for the landing of dogs to be exported within a very few days. Appli- cations for such licences should specify the ports, the names of the vessels, the dates of their arrival and departure, and the address of some suitable place where the dog can be detained during the period that it remains in Great Britain. The licence in this case should be endorsed by an officer of the vessel of departure, and returned to the Board by the owner. The dog cannot again be landed in Great Britain without a further licence.
21. The experience of the Board has clearly shown that the frequent movement of pet dogs to and from the Continent involves this country in serious danger, inasmuch as a pet dog may become infected with rabies without the knowledge and despite the utmost care on the part of its owner. It is therefore a matter of great importance to owners of dogs in Great Britain that dogs from abroad should only be admitted in instances where it has been satisfactorily established that some useful pur- pose will be served by their admission, or where a pet dog would otherwise be separated from its owner for a prolonged period. Pet dogs should not be taken abroad and thus exposed to the risk of infection, except in cases of real necessity.
22. The Board earnestly invite the cordial co-operation of dogowners in carrying out regulations which have been designed with a view to minimise the risk of re-introducing a very terrible disease.

NOTICE.
Whereas Bubonic Plague has now ceased to be epidemic in Hainan and Hongkong, but whereas the disease is endemic in Hongkong and several Chinese Ports, and it is desirable as a matter of urgency to take measures to prevent its spread to this Kingdom.
The undersigned, Her Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul-General, under and by virtue of the powers in that behalf conferred upon him by Section 84, of Her Majesty's Order in Council, 1889, has ordained that the Quarantine Regulation of July 13, 1900, 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. For the purpose of this Regulation the Inspection Station shall be in the river Menam Chow Phya, opposite the Custom House at Paknam.
2. Any vessel, which, having cleared from Hongkong or any Chinese port, arrives in Siamese waters, on or after the date of the present Regulation, shall drop anchor at the said Inspection Station, and shall stay there until such time as the Medical Officer shall have boarded her and have given pratique.
3. 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, before she has received pratique.
4. The Master or other persons 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 ques- tions put to him by the Health Officer, and shall, if required by the Health Officer, furnish the neces- sary boats and appliances for the landing of the 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.
5. 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.
6. Any vessel which shall be so loaded as to be unable to pass over the bar at the entrance of the river Menam Chow Phya, shall in order to obtain permission to lighten or load at the outside anchorage of Koh-si-chang or of Anghin :-
(a.) Give, through the ship's Agent in Bangkok, to the Health Officer of the Local Government Board previous written notice of the ship's expected arrival at such outside anchorage:
(b.) Deliver to the Customs Officer stationed at such outside anchorage written declaration stating that no death from or case of bubonic plague had occurred on board from port of departure.
7. 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.
8. 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 one hun- dred pounds or to imprisonment not exceeding three months or to both such punishments.
9. Any cost incurred by the Siamese Government, in the maintenance of the person removed to the Quarantine station at Koh Phai, shall be repaid by the agents of the vessel.
Given under my hand and seal this 28th day of Sept., 1900.

That the Standing Orders be suspended.
Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE seconded.
Question-put and carried nem con.
The Recent Collapse in Hollywood Road.-The Acting Secretary then, at Dr. HARTIGAN'S request, read the following question which had been forwarded by Dr. HARTIGAN on the previous day
*
Has any communication or report been made by the Sanitary Department to the Government or to any Govern- ment Department on the condition of any of the houses which have lately collapsed in the Central District? If so, what reply has been received or what action has been taken in the matter?
The President replied that no communication or report had been made by the Sanitary Department to the Government or to any Government Department and the answer to the second part of the question was, "None."
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN said the reason he had asked the question was, that it was stated that reports as to the dangerous condition of these houses had been forwarded but had not been acted upon.
The Medical Officer of Health explained the steps taken by the Sanitary Department on the receipt of such reports. The Proposed Dairy Bye-laws.-The proposed Dairy Bye-laws embodying the suggestions made by the Honourable the Attorney General having been read by the Acting Secretary were made by the Board under Section 13 of Ordinance 24 of 1887.
The Inspector's Quarters at the Cattle Depots.-The report of the Sub-Committee consisting of the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN and Mr. JAMES MCKIE appointed to select a site for the Inspector's Quarters at the Cattle Depots and to report as to what style of house should be built upon the selected site, was submitted.
The Medical Officer of Health moved-
That the report be adopted and forwarded to Government for their consideration. The Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
Rinderpest at the Government Depots and the Old Tung Wah Hospital Mortuary.-Two letters from the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon relative to two outbreaks of rinderpest one in the Government Depots and one in the Old Tung Wah Hospital Mortuary were submitted.
The first letter received informed the Board that the Government Depots were now free from this disease, that ninety- eight of the cattle which showed no sign of the disease had been slaughtered for food, twenty-three had died, and four were recovering.
The second of these letters was to the effect that the outbreak in the Old Tung Wah Hospital Mortuary had been suppressed after a loss of twelve animals.
Market Accommodation at Kowloon.-Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE addressed the Board and, pursuant to notice,
moved-
That in riew of the increasing population of Kowloon Point the Government be asked to provide a market
on a convenient site for residents of that locality.
The reasons adduced by Mr. OSBORNE in support of his motion were-
1. That as fresh provisions may not be sold except in markets without the consent of the Governor in Council all such commodities consumed by Europeans at Kowloon must be carried to Kowloon from Hongkong, and
seeing that the population of Kowloon Point is large enough to support a market of its own, this waste of time, labour and money should cease.
2. That markets are a profitable investment.
The Medical Officer of Health pointed out the necessity of taking immediate action, and seconded.
The President addressed the Board in support of the motion.
Question-put and agreed to.

The Kowloon Water Supply.-Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE on the grounds of Public Health and the permanent augmentation of the Military Forces at Kowloon asked the Board to urge upon Government the necessity for energetic action and the importauce of making arrangements, even though they be temporary, for improving and increasing the water service of Kowloon as quickly as possible and, pursuant to notice, moved→
That the Government be asked to state what steps are being taken to provide water for Kowloon during the
approaching dry season.
Dr. HARTIGAN drew attention to the rapid increase in the demand for additional water in the case of the city of Vic- toria as evidenced by the construction of Taitam, and seconded.
Major BROWN supported the motion, and stated that the inadequacy of the present water supply for Kowloon was shown by the Chinese crowding round the street taps, by the use of water carts to carry water to Gun Club Hill, and by the fact that there was no water for sale to the vessels at the wharf or in cases of fire.
The President was of the opinion that the scarcity of water in Kowloon was due to the enormous and unprecedented increase of the population of Kowloon and to the fact that it was not possible to carry out a new system of water supply for Kowloon at a moment's notice.
Question-put and agreed to.
Iron Bars across Backyards.-Mr. FUNG WA CHUN stated that many Chinese had been obliged to leave the Colony by their dread of thieves making use of the backyards to enter their houses and, pursuant to notice, moved-
That, notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 7 and 8 of Ordinance 34 of 1899, the Board shall allow the erection of iron bars (not less than six inches apurt) across the top of open spaces in the rear of domestic buildings, as a protection against thieves, provided that, in each case the sanction of the Medical Officer of Health be obtained for the erection of these bars.
Mr. CHAN A FOOK in seconding said that children were fond of playing on the roof and it was within his personal knowledge that several lives had been lost by the unprotected state of backyards.
The Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer was of the opinion that the bars would be used for storage purposes. The Medical Officer of Health said that where there were really valuable goods to protect, it was a privilege that might be granted.
Mr. EDWARD OSBORNE stated that the privacy of respectable Chinese families should be protected.
Dr. WILLIAM HARTIGAN agreed with Mr. OSBORNE. Major BROWN supported the granting of the privilege. The Board divided on the motion-

Question--put and agreed to.
Milk Unfit for Human Consumption.--A minute from the Medical Officer of Health reporting the seizure of twenty cases of condensed milk under section 25 of the Public Health Ordinance and applying for the necessary author- ity of the Board for its destruction was submitted.
The Medical Officer of Health explained why the vendor had not been prosecuted.
Papers. The following papers were laid on the table-

2. A lime-washing return for the fortnight ended September 24th, 1900.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH OCTOBER, 1900. 1513
His Excellency the Governor then addressed the Council as follows:-
In laying the Estimates on the table, I have to congratulate you on the prosperous condition of the Colony as disclosed in the figures to be laid before you. The period embraced within the past twelve months has been one fraught with momentous issues to the British Empire. The carefully planned attempt to subvert British Supremacy in South Africa has happily been frustrated, and I congratulate this Colony upon the generous con- tribution of over $153.000 in response to a call for funds for the families of Sailors and Soldiers engaged in the serious South African War, now rapidly drawing to a successful conclusion.
Nor can we close our eyes to the gravity of the present position in the North of China, where a fanatical anti-foreign movement originating with the Boxer Society was ultimately joined by the Imperial Troops. The Foreign Settlements of Tientsin were attacked, large numbers of foreign missionaries and native Christians have been murdered under circum- stances of horrible barbarity, and for eight weeks the Legations of all the Foreign Powers in Peking were closely besieged by Chinese soldiers aided by Boxers. The capture of the Taku Forts, the Chinese City of Tientsin, and of Peking was not effected without grievous loss of life and destruction of property, and now the Allied Forces are in full possession of the Capital, while it has yet to be decided what retribution shall be exacted from the Chinese Empire for these sanguinary murders; and the gross violation of the universal inviolability of Diplomatic Missions.
The present effect of this position upon Hongkong is to increase its income. Large numbers of transports have passed through the Port bearing Troops of all Nations, and money has been spent. Considerable sums have been sent down from China to be invested under the agis of British security in the Colony, and the godowns are taxed to their utmost capacity for the storage of merchandise. But it must be remembered that this apparent plethora of business is caused to a great extent by the unreadiness of Chinese buyers to take delivery in consequence of the uncertainty of the trade conditions in the interior, and we must look forward to a possible diminution in the volume of trade during the ensuing year.
I regret to say that during the present year we have again been visited by a serious epidemic of plague, the number of cases up to the present being 1,065, and the number of deaths 1,007, or 94.5%. I have directed that returns similar to those of last year shall be prepared in the hope that ultimately the comparison of returns may afford some clue to the conditions especially favourable to this scourge. I can vouch for the activity of the Sani- tary Board, but so far nothing that has been done appears to affect the high death rate of those stricken with the disease. The systematic killing of rats has been actively carried out and this year up to the present 40,500 have been destroyed. It is possible that this may account for the diminution of the number of cases as compared with last year.
The condition of the New Territory is satisfactory and the people now realize the benc- fits of effective protection of life and property. The collection of Land Revenue has been delayed owing to the necessity of having an accurate Survey of the land occupied, and the determination of rights of occupancy, on which subject many conflicting claims have been entered. The Survey is being rapidly carried out by a staff of surveyors, lent by the Indian Government, and the Land Court has been established, which will begin its operations in November. The Main Road projected for easy access to the New Territory in all weathers has now been completed to deep water in Mirs Bay, north of Shatin, and will be pushed for- ward to Taipo Hu during the coming year.
The estimated Revenue for 1901 is $3,909,349.00 and the estimated expenditure $3.994,270.29 making a deficit of $84,921.29. These figures do not include an estimated surplus in hand at the end of the current year of $846,507.00.
Having regard to the great uncertainty of the China trade in the immediate future it is desirable to have a substantial balance in hand and in considering the Public Works Ex- traordinary submitted in the Estimates, it must be further borne in mind that a large expen- diture on Sanitary Works may become necessary. I therefore invite you to scrutinise carefully the Public Works Extraordinary that will be submitted to you. In the meantime plans of all these works have been prepared and will accompany the Estimates when sub- mitted to the Secretary of State, so that no time shall be lost in carrying out the Works finally approved by him. I am happy to inform you that the plans of the Law Courts have been finally approved and the foundations are being proceeded with, and the long deferred. Jubilee Road round Mount Davis will be undertaken by private contractors without delay. The extensive public and private works now in progress or projected, involving the expen- diture of many millions of dollars may, however, exhaust the available supply of labour and modify our estimate of the time in which proposed public works may be completed.

19. Ordinances No. 23 of 1889 and No. 30 of 1899 are hereby repealed.
Objects and Reasons,
Ordinance No. 30 of 1899 was passed to amend The Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1889.
It, however, left the title of the principal Ordinance unaltered, although it dealt not merely with the resumption of Crown lands, but also with the acquisition by the Governor of land of any description, for public purposes.
It appears unnecessary to mix the two subjects, and it is certainly desirable to consolidate in one Ordinance the law relating to the resumption of Crown lands.
The present Ordinance incorporates, with some few slight alterations, the amendments introduced into The Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance by Ordinance No. 30 of 1899, so far as they relate to the resumption of Crown lands. It should be borne in mind that all land in the New Territories is declared by the New Territories Land Court Ordinance, 1900, to be the property of the Crown during the term specified in the Convention of 9th June, 1898. Thus the resumption of any part thereof from the occu- piers, if necessary, would come within the terms of this Ordinance.
"
Under the heading "resumption for public purpose in section 2, a new clause is added, viz., clause (ii) relating to "obstructive buildings." This is based upon section 38 of the Imperial Act known as "The Housing of the Work- ing Classes Act, 1890." The whole of section 9 is also new and deals with certain points connected with the as- sessment of compensation; while its last paragraph makes special provision in cases where insanitary property is re- sumed. This section follows in the main the provisions of section 21 of the Imperial Act previously mentioned. Section 18 makes it clear that the alternative mode of pro- ceeding provided by this Ordinance does not annul any power of resumption contained in Crown Leases.

SIR,
DOWNING STREET,
22nd August, 1900.
With reference to my Circular despatch of the 27th September, 1899, and to my General despatch of the 15th instant, I have the honour to transmit to you for publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of a Convention between the United Kingdom and Uruguay renewing the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation of 13th November, 1885, which Convention was signed at Monte Video on the 15th July, 1899, and the ratifications of which were exchanged at Monte Video on the 9th June, 1900.

CONVENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND URUGUAY RENEWING THE TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP, COMMERCE, AND NAVIGATION
OF NOVEMBER 13, 1885.
Signed at Monte Video, July 15, 1899.
[Ratifications exchanged at Monte Video, June 9, 1900.]
THEIR Excellencies Mr. Walter Baring, Her Britannic Majesty's Minister Resident, and Dr. Manuel Herrero y Espinosa, Minister for Foreign Affairs, having met together at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, have declared that, whereas it has not been as yet possible for reasons foreign to the wishes of both Governments to conclude a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between their respective countries to take the place of the one that has lapsed, and recognizing the fact that it is necessary that the commercial interests of the two nations should con- tinue to be regulated by an international compact securing to them the treatment and advantages of the most favoured nation, and being duly authorized to that effect, now agree that the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation concluded on the 13th of November, 1885, and the ratifica- tions of which were exchanged on the 22nd of May, 1886, shall be renewed.
They also declared that British Colonies and possessions may adhere to the present Convention within six months counting from the exchange of ratifications, and may withdraw from the same, at any time, by giving six months' notice of their intention.
In either case the notice will be given by the Representative of Her Britannic Majesty at Monte- video to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Uruguay.
It was also agreed that the stipulations contained in the Treaty which is to be renewed do not include cases in which the Government of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay may accord special favours, exemptions and privileges to the citizens or products of the United States of Brazil, of the Argentine Republic, or of Paraguay in matters of commerce.
Such favours cannot be claimed on behalf of Great Britain on the ground of most-favoured-nation rights, as long as they are not conceded to other States.
It is, nevertheless, understood that the said special favours, exemptions, and privileges shall not be capable of application to products similar to those of Great Britain, nor be extended to navigation.
The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Montevideo as soon as possible.
1522
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH OCTOBER, 1900.
It shall come into force from the day on which the ratifications are exchanged, and shall continue in force until the expiration of one year from the day on which one of the High Contracting Parties shall have given notice to the other of its intention of terminating it.
The undersigned Plenipotentiaries trust that in the time during which the present Convention remains in force the necessary negotiations may be carried on for the conclusion of a new Treaty more in keeping with the reciprocal interests of the two States.
In witness whereof they have signed the present Convention in duplicate at Montevideo, the fifteenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine.

SIR,
DOWNING STREET,
7th September, 1900.
I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Honduras, signed at Guatemala on 21st January, 1887, and ratified on 3rd February, 1900, together with an explanatory Protocol signed at Guatemala on the 3rd February, 1900.
The effect of this explanatory Protocol is to override the provisions of Article XIV. of the Treaty, and to give to Colonial Governments in all cases a period of one year, and one year only, from the date of the exchange of ratifications to come within the operation of the Treaty, while it also reserves to Her Majesty's Government the right to terminate the Treaty on behalf of any Colony by giving twelve months' notice.
I shall be glad to be informed as soon as possible whether your Government desires to adhere to the Treaty.

TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP, COMMERCE, AND NAVIGATION BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE REPUBLIC OF HONDURAS.
Signed at Guatemala, January 21, 1887.
[Ratifications exchanged at Guatemala, Frbruary 3, 1900.]
HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, and his Excellency the President of the Republic of Honduras, being desirous of maintaining and strengthening friendly relations, and of promoting commercial intercourse between the dominions of Her Britannic Majesty and the territories of the Republic, have resolved to conclude a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation, and have named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, James Plaister Harris-Gastrell, Esq., Her Britannic Majesty's Minister Resident and Consul-General to the Republic of Honduras;
And his Excellency the President of the Republic of Honduras, his Excellency Dr. Don Jeronimo Zelaya, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary;
Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :---
ARTICLE I.
The High Contracting Parties agree that, in all matters relating to commerce and navigation, any privilege, favour, or immunity whatever which either Contracting Party has actually granted or may hereafter grant to the subjects or citizens of any other State shall be extended immediately and unconditionally to the subjects or citizens of the other Contracting Party; it being their intention that the trade and navigation of each country shall be placed in all respects by the other on the foot- ing of the most favoured nation.
ARTICLE II.
The produce and manufacture of, as well as all goods coming from, the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, which are imported into Honduras, and the produce and manufactures of, as well as all goods coming from Honduras, which are imported into the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, whether intended for consumption, warehousing, re-exportation, or transit,
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH OCTOBER, 1900. 1525
shall be treated in the same manner as, and, in particular, shall be subjected to no higher or other duties, whether general, municipal, or local, than the produce, manufactures, and goods of any third country the most favoured in this respect. No other or higher duties shall be levied in Honduras on the exportation of any goods to the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, or in the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty on the exportation of any goods to Honduras, than may be levied on the exportation of the like goods to any third country the most favoured in this respect.
Neither of the Contracting Parties shall establish a prohibition of importation, exportation, or transit against the other which shall not, under like circumstances, be applicable to any third country the most favoured in this respect.
In like manner, in all that relates to local dues, Customs formalities, brokerage, patterns or samples introduced by commercial travellers, and all other matters connected with trade, British subjects in Honduras, and Honduranian citizens in the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, shall enjoy most-favoured-nation treatment.
In the event of any changes being made in Honduranian Laws, Customs Tariff, or Regulations, sufficient notice shall be given in order to enable British subjects to make the necessary arrangements for meeting them.
ARTICLE III.
British ships and their cargoes shall, in Honduras, and Honduranian vessels and their cargoes shall, in the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, from whatever place arriving and whatever may be the place of origin or destination of their cargoes, be treated in every respect as national ships and their cargoes.
The preceding stipulation applies to local treatment, dues, and charges in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, and rivers of the two countries, pilotage, and generally to all matters connected with navigation.
Every favour or exemption in these respects, or any other privilege in matters of navigation which either of the Contracting Parties shall grant to a third Power, shall be extended immediately and unconditionally to the other Party.
All vessels which, according to British law, are to be deemed British vessels, and all vessels which, according to the law of Honduras are to be deemed Honduranian vessels, shall, for the purpose of this Treaty, be respectively deemed British or Honduranian vessels.
ARTICLE IV.
The subjects or citizens of each of the Contracting Parties shall be permitted to reside per- manently or temporarily in the dominions or possessions of the other, and to occupy and hire houses and warehouses for purposes of commerce, whether wholesale or retail. They shall also be at full liberty to exercise civil rights, and therefore to acquire, possess, and dispose of every description of property movable and immovable. They may acquire and transmit the same to others, whether by purchase, sale, donation, exchange, marriage, testament, succession ab intestato, and in any other manner under the same conditions as natives of the country. Their heirs and legal representatives may succeed to and take possession of it, either in person or by procurators, in the same manner and in the same legal forms as natives of the country.
In none of these respects shall they pay upon the value of such property any other or higher impost, duty, or charge than is payable by natives of the country. In every case the subjects or citizens of the Contracting Parties shall be permitted to export their property, or the proceeds thereof if sold, freely and without being subjected on such exportation to pay any duty different from that to which natives of the country are liable under similar circumstances.
ARTICLE V.

ARTICLE IX.
Each of the Contracting Parties may appoint Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Pro- Consuls, and Consular Agents to reside respectively in towns or ports in the dominions and posses- sions of the other Power.

ARTICLE X.

Any ship of war or merchant-vessel of either of the Contracting Parties which may be compelled by stress of weather, or by accident, to take shelter in a port of the other, shall be at liberty to refit therein, to procure all necessary stores, and to continue their voyage, without paying any dues other than such as would be payable in a similar case by a national vessel. In case, however, the master of a merchant-vessel should be under the necessity of disposing of a part of his merchandize in order to defray his expenses, he shall be bound to conform to the Regulations and Tariffs of the place to which he may have come.
If any ship of war or merchant vessel of one of the Contracting Parties should run against or be wrecked within the territory of the other, such ship or vessel, and all parts thereof, and all furniture and appurtenances belonging thereunto, and all goods and merchandize saved therefrom, including any which may have been cast out of the ship, or the proceeds thereof if sold, as well as all papers found on board such stranded or wrecked ship or vessel, shall be given up to the owners or their agents when claimed by them. If there are no such owners or agents on the spot, then the same shall be delivered to the British or Honduranian Consul-General, Consul, Vice-Consul, or Consular Agent in whose district the wreck or stranding may have taken place, upon being claimed by him within the period fixed by the laws of the country; and such Consuls, owners, or agents shall pay only the expenses incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the salvage or other expenses which would have been payable in the like case of a wreck of a national vessel.
The goods and merchandize saved from the wreck shall be exempt from all duties of Customs, unless cleared for comsumption, in which case they shall pay the same rate of duty as if they had been imported in a national vessel.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH OCTOBER, 1900. 1527

I beg to inform you that at ten minutes after noon of the 26th October, the above ship passed a large patch of strongly discoloured water, with apparent current rips, and also some seaweed the approximate position of the S.W. extreme of which we made to be in Latitude 32.064 N. Longitude 125.10 E; the patch lay in N.N.E. and S.S.W. direction, and was, as far as we could see, about 2 miles in extent in that direction, and about of a mile through, from E.S.E. and W.N.W. there was a surveying body with a flag having Red-white-red vertical stripes, about 3 miles in a S.W. direction. The true bearing and distance from the S.S.W. extreme of the patch to the north Saddle Lighthouse we made to be S. 60.07 W. 147 miles. All bearings mentioned herein are true bearings.
