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.

(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.

Where a declaration has been granted for a steam-ship under sub-section 8 of section 10 of this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be made on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above. The fee paid in accordance with the above scale covers the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and the marking of the vessel. made at the time of survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts. It does not. however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog signals, or marking, made sub- sequently to such survey.

The fee for survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts does not cover any survey of a steam-ship for a passenger certificate under this Ordinance, or measurement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces. Travelling expenses (if any) and subsistence expenses (if any) due according to the seale authorised by the Governor will be charged in addition to the fees.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory for 1899, is published.

HONGKONG OBservatory,

9th January, 1900.

　　　　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.

a.;

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-

154 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1900.

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

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.

　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.

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 further amend The Public

Health Ordinance, 1887.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Public Health Amendment Ordinance, 1900.

Proceedings 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 19 of The without pre- Public Health Ordinance, 1887, (No. 24 of 1887), it shall be lawful for the Sanitary Board, in its discretion, to in- stitute summary proceedings before a Magistrate against any person contravening any Bye-law duly made under section 13 of such Ordinance, without previously issuing a notice to the offender stating what is required to be done to carry out the provisions of such Bye-law, and upon conviction for a contravention of any such Bye-law the Magistrate may impose a penalty not exceeding twenty- five dollars.

Repeal of section 84 of

Ordinance No. 24 of 1887. Sub- stituted sec- tion as to recovery of penalties.

3. Section 84 of Ordinance No. 24 of 1887 is hereby repealed and in lieu thereof the following section is sub- stituted :-

84. All penalties imposed by this Ordinance or by any Bye-laws thereunder may be recovered in a sum- mary manner before a Magistrate at the suit of the secretary or of such other person as the Sanitary Board may depute.

Clause 3 is intended to prevent technical objections in cases where it is more convenient that the proceedings before a Magistrate should be at the suit of some persou other than the Secretary who, in practice, rarely if ever attends at the Magistracy.

W. MEIGH GOODMAN,

Attorney General.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900. 209

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 61.

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

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

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."

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

"Star

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

HONGKONG, 28th December, 1899.

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,

DEAR MR. WHITEHEAD,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 30th December, 1899.

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

220 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.

Ordinance with the addition of the duration clause suggested by Dr. Ho KAI. Having satisfied myself as to the necessity for the Ordinance I regret that I cannot accept your suggestion that I should refuse my assent to an Ordinance passed unanimously by the Legislative Council.

The Honourable

T. H. WHITEHEAD.

Very truly yours,

(Signed), HENRY A. BLAKE.

(Speech by His Excellency the Governor on 21st December, 1899.)

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

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1900.

("China Mail" leading article of 9th August, 1899.)

221

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."

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

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."

　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.

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 :-

"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

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

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

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.

HONGKONG. No. 153.

SIR,

(Secretary of State to Governor.)

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.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

Governor

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 :-

Resolution 3.

"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.

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.

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.

SIR,

I am directed to transmit, for the information and consideration of the Jubilee Committee, the enclosed extract from a letter addressed by Major-General BLACK, C.B., to His Excellency the Governor urging certain military objections to the pro- posal to carry the Victoria Jubilee Road round Mount Davis on the sea-side.

SIR,

(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.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

C. P. CHATER, Chairman, Jubilee Committee.

I have the honour to forward to Your Excellency the enclosed copy of a letter addressed by the Chairman of the Jubilee Committee to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on the subject of the projected road round the Island of Hongkong which was intended to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty's Accession.

I shall be glad to receive from Your Excellency any remarks on this subject which you may feel disposed to offer.

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.

　SIR,I have the honour to forward for Your Excellency's information the report of the Society for the Protection of Women and Girls (Po Leung Kuk) for the year ending 31st December last. I enclose the accounts and a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Society accompanied by a declaration made before a Justice of the Peace by two members of the Permanent Board.

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.

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.

　　And whereas by an Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 20th of October, 1898, it was, amongst other things, ordered that the territories within the limits and for the term described in the said Convention should be and the same were thereby declared to be part and parcel of Her Majesty's Colony of Hong Kong, in like manner and for all intents and purposes as if they had originally formed part of the said Colony, and it should be competent for the Governor of Hong Kong, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council of the said Colony, to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the said territories as part of the Colony.

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 20TH FEB., 1900.

　　And whereas the exercise of jurisdiction by the Chinese officials in the City of Kowloon having been found to be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong, it is expe- dient that Article 4 of the said Order in Council should be revoked, and that the Chinese officials within the City of Kowloon should cease to exercise jurisdiction therein, and that the said City of Kowloon should become part and parcel of Her Majesty's Colony of Hong Kong for all purposes during the continuance of the term of the Lease in the said Convention mentioned.

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 :-

Convicted by the ordinary Courts.....

Courts Martial

Debtors

In default of finding security....

4,976

Total (including 760 old offenders)

..5,427

3. The daily average number of prisoners confine 1 in the Gaol during the year was 434 as com- pared with 511 for the year 1898.

4. The number of prisoners committed to the Gaol for offences not of a criminal nature was 1,858 made up as follows:-

Committed under the Prepared Opium Ordinance

Market

Arms

Vehicle

Sanitary bye-laws

Harbour Regulations For Drunkenness

For Trespassing.

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.

PROCLAMATION.

[L.S.] 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

CONDUCT.

...

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.

Old Territory.

133

New Territory.

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,

　　The following Report of the Head Master of Queen's College and of the Examiners appointed by the Governing Body for 1899, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 8th instant, are published.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th March, 1900.

F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1900.

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

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.

354

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 HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MARCH, 1900.

375

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,

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.

3. On the 23rd November last a Bill entitled "The New Territories Land Court Ordinance, 1899" was introduced and read a first time and was, on the 25th November last, published in English only in the Gazette.

PROTEST BY THE UNDERSIGNED MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG MADE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 32 OF THE STANDING RULES AND ORDERS OF THE COUNCIL.

1. WHEREAS at the meeting of the Council held on March 15th, 1900, the Attorney General moved that the Council go into Committee to consider clause by clause a Bill entitled-

"An Ordinance to facilitate the hearing, determination and settle- ment of land claims in the New Territories, to establish a Land Court "and for other purposes.

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

Ping Chau Island in the New Territory, asked for in my question of 15th February last.

The Acting Colonial Secretary addressed the Council.

BILL ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE TO FACILITATE THE HEARING, DETERMINATION AND SETTLEMENT OF LAND CLAIMS IN THE NEW TERRITORIES, TO ESTABLISH A LAND COURT, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.- The Attorney General moved the third reading of the Bill.

The Acting Colonial Secretary seconded.

Mr. WHITEHEAD addressed the Council, and moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be recommitted. The motion was not seconded.

Question-that the Hill be rend a third time was then put and agreed to.

Bill read a third tit.

Question pot that thi. Pili do pass.

Bill passed.

ADJOURNMENT. -The Council then adjourned until Thursday, the 29th March, 1900, at 3 p.m.

The Captain Superintendent of Police may from time to time in his discretion grant to any person a licence either to carry arms and ammunition, or to have arms and am- munition in his possession, or to do both, subject to such conditions as the Captain Superintendent of Police may deem fit. Unless in any particular case the Captain Super- intendent of Police shall otherwise direct, such licence shall be issued for a limited period only, shall be made out in the name of the grantee, shall bear a number and the dates of issue and expiry, shall not be transferable, and shall specify the arms and ammunition which it covers :

Provided, nevertheless, that an appeal shall lie, from any refusal by the Captain Superintendent of Police to graut any licence under this section, to the Governor-in-Council who shall have power to confirm or reverse such refusal.

5.

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.

6. No arms or ammunition shall be sold to any person-

(b.) for export from the Colony unless the vendor has obtained from the Captain Superintendent of Police an export permit which may be in the form given in the schedule hereto annexed marked B, and shall be made out in Chinese as well as in English: Pro- vided, nevertheless, that no export permit shall be required in respect of any ammunition which is being exported from the Colony direct from the Govern- ment Depot under a delivery order issued by the Harbour Master.

Such export permit or such delivery order when granted shall be deemed equivalent to the licence of the Captain Superintendent of Police to carry or possess arms or am- munition, but in the case of an export permit it shall only operate as such a licence up to the time named in such permit for the return of such permit.

An application for such permit shall be in the form given in the schedule hereto annexed marked A, and shall be made out in Chinese as well as in English in cases where the applicant is a Chinaman, and shall be signed by the vendor of the said arms or ammunition and filed by him with the Captain Superintendent of Police. No fee shall be payable in respect of filing such application or granting such permit.

7. Every person who obtains an export permit for any arms or ammunition under this Ordinance, shall, when the whole of the arms or ammunition or arms and ammunition, specified in such export permit, exceed twenty-five dollars in value, obtain the receipt of the master or mate of the vessel named in such permit for the whole of the arms and ammunition specified in such permit, and shall returu such receipt, together with the export permit, to the person and at the time and place named in such permit.

2. The actual expenditure under each of these heads is shewn opposite each item.

3. The comparatively small expenditure under Public Works Extraordinary is due to the fact that orders were given to postpone certain works for a time, and also to the great demand made on the Department by the Works undertaken in the New Territory after it was taken over.

　　4. It is not unusual to hear the Public Works Department spoken of as the "The Great Spend- ing Department"; the following figures prove that this Department does something towards collecting

revenue also:

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.

The principal items

E. The Sales of Crown Land were greatly in excess of the estimate ($200,000.00). The main feature was the sale of a

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.

　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

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.

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,

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1900.

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.

PROCLAMATION.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF HAWAII.

　　WHEREAS, It hath been shown to my satisfaction, that, by reason of the existence of an infee- tious or contagious disease known and designated as PLAGUE, in certain foreign countries, there is serious and continuing danger of the introduction of the same into the Hawaiian Islands, and that, notwithstanding the quarantine defence, this danger is so increased by the introduction of certain foodstuffs from such countries, that a suspension of the right to introduce the same is demanded in the interest of the public health.

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.

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.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.,

&c.,

&e.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.

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.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

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.

(BER OF DISTRICTS, SUB-DISTRICTS AND VILLAGES.

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.

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).

.be

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.

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.

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

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.

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

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900. XV

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.

Reply of the Committee-men at Taipo.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

Your subject, on behalf of the Committee-men present and the people of the Districts and Sub-districts whom they represent, thanks Your Excellency for honouring us with a visit.

We have eagerly looked forward to Your Excellency's coming to-day which marks a new era in the history of this Territory. This visit will infuse into the country and the people a new life and spirit and will be followed by peace, prosper- ity and happiness.

We know that Your Excellency will treat us justly, considerately and im- partially.

We congratulate ourselves on our good fortune in having placed over us such a kind Governor, and proud indeed are we to be the subjects of such a benevolent Sovereign as Her Majesty QUEEN VICTORIA.

We pray that Your Excellency will, when memorialising the Throne, tender to Her Majesty our humble submission and our profound feelings of loyalty.

II.

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.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1900.

We the people of the New Territory look up to Your Excellency's humane policy and we rejoice that you have come to visit us. We know that Your Excel- lency is doing your utmost for the good of the people and under your Government this outpost of the Empire will continue to be more and more prosperous and the people to enjoy greater peace and security.

　　　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

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

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

acre per annum.

(ii.) For all land (except land draining in a Southerly direction to the sea between Liumun 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.) 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 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

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.

mau.

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.

Translation of a Kai Mi (??)

　　　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.

This is an important despatch concerning this "K'ai Mi" or Form attached to Red Deeds.

The Landowner is CHEUNG IN T'ONG who bought the land in the 5th To, 4th T'o, 8th Kap, from TANG KAI SHEK, the said land being situated near the village of Ch'an Ka Wai in the Sub-district of T'un Mun. The land pays the tax of the third class. the area being twenty-six maus.

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-

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.

Appendix No. IX.

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.

Appendix No. XI.

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.

Appendix No. XII.

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.

(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.

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.

XXX V

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.

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.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 9th March, 1900.

　　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.

　　　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.

XLV

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.

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.

(For the Minister.)

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 5th April, 1900, were read and confirmed.

Question-put and agreed to.

QUESTIONS. Pursuant to notice, Mr. CHATER, in the absence of Mr. WHITEHEAD, asked the following questions:-

(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?

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.

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

1. This Ordinance shall be read and construed as one Construction together with Ordinance No. 13 of 1888 (as amended by and Short Ordinance No. 6 of 1897) hereinafter referred to as the Title. principal Ordinance, and may be cited as the Regulation of Chinese (Amendment) Ordinance, 1900.

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12?? MAY,

1900.

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.

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:-

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. "

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 231.

The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for 1899, is published.

By Command,

F. H. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 12th May, 1900.

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

Loan of Plants

223.71

Forestry Products...

708.14

Total...$1,558.45

BOTANIC GARDENS.

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 :-

Calcutta, Ceylon, Durban, Grenada, Haarlem, Jamaica, Kolonial Museum Haarlem, Mauritius, Mysore, Milwaukee, Missouri, New South Wales, Ottawa, Rio de Janeiro, Saharanpur, Straits Settlements, Sydney, Trinidad, the Agricultural Departments of Cape of Good Hope, England, Queensland, United States of America, University of California, Zanzibar, Forest Administration in Assam, Ajmere Merwara, Baluschistan, Bengal, Burma.

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,

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

Acting Colonial Secretary,

To the President of the Sanitary Board.

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.

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 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),

Articular Rheumatism (H.M.S. Bonaventure), Septicemia (H.M.S. Orlando),

Fracture of Skull (H.M.S. Barfleur)

The average age at death was 24 years.

　　Seven deaths occurred in persons, other than Chinese, employed by Foreign Navies, as follows:

Enteric Fever (H.I.G.M.S. Gefion), (U.S.S. Bennington),

Heart Disease (U.S.S. Charleston).

(H.I.M.S. Carlo Alberto).

Injuries (H.I.G.M.S. Kaiser),

(U.S.S. Iris),

Fracture of Skull (U.S.S. Concord),

　　The deaths occurring in the Mercantile Marine numbered 34 and were composed as follows:-

　　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.

The principal causes of death among the Non-Chinese civil community were as follows:---

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. Among the Chinese population the rate was 848 per 1,000 while the rate in recent years has been as follows:-

　　　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.

The total number of cases of infectious disease reported by registered medical practitioners during the year was 1,637 and comprised the following:-

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

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.

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 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.

　　　　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:-

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MAY, 1900.

　　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.

The number of swine slaughtered during the past two years points to a considerable increase in the native population of the Colony during that period.

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.

sorry to lose him.

at Kennedy Town vice Ins-

Inspector COTTON was appointed Inspector of Markets in place of Mr. WATSON promoted. Both these officers performed their duties to my entire satisfaction during the year.

　　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,

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.

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

The following Report of the Registrar General for 1899 is published.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th May, 1900.

807

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.

POPULATION.

The following is the estimate of the population of the Colony on the 30th June, 1899 :-

British and Foreign Community.

15,822

Chinese.

243,490

Total. 259,312

MARRIAGES.

(Ordinance No. 14 of 1875.)

The number of Marriages solemnized during the year was 116 as compared with 86 in 1898.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

(Ordinance No. 16 of 1896.)

Table IV 4 gives the number of Births and Deaths registered during the year.

The death-rates at various ages and the causes of death will be found in Tables IV B. and IV C. The Births among the British and Foreign Community numbered 280 as compared with 243 in 1898; of this number 149 were males and 131 females.

　　　The Births registered as having occurred in the Chinese Community were 684 as against 963 in 1898, and 1,125 in 1897.

There were 17 prosecutions under the Ordinance in 1899, under the following headings :-

Unlawful removal of dead bodies,. Birth, failing to report,

15 cases.

　　　The number of Deaths in the British and Foreign Community was 241 as compared with 291 in 1898. Of these 21 died from Plague. The number of deaths among the Chinese was 5,940 as com- pared with 5,383 in 1898. 1,413 died from Plague. 222 of the deaths among the British and Foreign Community and 1,919 among the Chinese were certified to by a registered Medical Practitioner or were the subject of a Coroner's Enquiry. The following table shows the number of deaths and the death-rate per 1,000 during the last eight years :--

Of these, 1,684 were discharged and 852 died. The percentage of deaths to admissions during the year was 33.52. In 1898 the percentage was 35.05, and in 1897, 35.24. The death-rate is thus steadily decreasing.

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.

　　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.

　　I returned from leave in February and resumed my duties as Registrar General. Mr. BREWIN discharged the duties of Registrar General from 16th March to 18th July, during my absence in the New Territory. Mr. J. DYER BALL has been acting as Assistant Registrar General since my return.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 280.

The following Despatch from the Secretary of State with reference to the Governor's Salary, which was laid before the Legislative Council this day, is published.

By Command.

Colonial Secretary's Office. Hongkong, 28th May, 1900.

HONGKONG. No. 93.

Governor

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.,

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

A. IF SUCH MEMBER BE A BACHELOR AT THE TIME OF HIS

TRANSFER.

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.

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.
