No. 30 OF 1886.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, entitled An Ordinance to amend the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1886.

[12th January, 1887.]

HEREAS it is desirable that certain Imperial Acts amending the law relating to joint Stock Com- panies should be introduced into the Colony: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

PART. I.

Preliminary.

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Companies Ordinance, 1886 and shall so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof be construed as one with The Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1881 and all Ordinances amending the same and the said Ordinances and this Ordi- nance may be referred to as The Companies Ordinances · 1865 to 1886.

PART II.

Joint Stock Companies Arrangement.

2. Where any compromise or arrangement shall be proposed between a company which is, at the time of the passing of this Ordinance or afterwards, in the course of being wound up, either voluntarily or by or under the supervision of the Supreme Court, under The Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1886 or any of them, and the creditors of such company, or any class of such creditors, it shall be lawful for the Court, in addition to any other of its powers, on the application in a summary way of any creditor or the liquidator, to order that a meeting of such creditors or class of creditors shall be summoned in such manner as the Court shall direct, and if a majority in number repre- senting three fourths in value of such creditors or class of creditors present either in person or by proxy at such meeting shall agree to any arrangement or compromise, such arrangement or compromise shall, if sanctioned by an order of the Court, be binding on all such creditors or class of creditors, as the case may be, and also on the liquidator and contributories of the said company.

3. The word company in the last section shall mean any company liable to be wound up under The Companies Ordinance, 1865.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JANUARY, 1887.

PART III.

Reduction of Capital.

4. The word capital as used in The Companies Ordi- nance, 1877, shall include paid up capital; and the power to reduce capital conferred by that Ordinance shall include a power to cancel any lost capital, or any capital unre- presented by available assets or to pay off any capital which may be in excess of the wants of the company; and paid up capital may be reduced either with or without extin- guishing or reducing the liability (if any) remaining on the shares of the company and to the extent to which such liability is not extinguished or reduced, it shall be deemed to be preserved, notwithstanding any thing contained in The Companies Ordinance, 1877.

5. The provisions of The Companies Ordinance, 1877, as amended by this Ordinance, shall apply to any company reducing its capital in pursuance of this Ordinance and of The Companies Ordinance, 1877, as amended by this Ordi- nance: Provided that where the reduction of the capital of a company does not involve either the diminution of any liability in respect of unpaid capital or the payment to any shareholder of any paid up capital,

(1.) The creditors of the company shall not unless the Court otherwise direct, be entitled to object or required to consent to the reduction; and (2.) It shall not be necessary before the presentation of the petition for confirming the reduction to add, and the Court may, if it thinks it expedient so to do, dispense altogether with the addition of the words and reduced as mentioned in The Companies Ordinance, 1877.

In any case that the Court thinks fit so to do, it may require the company to publish in such manner as it thinks fit the reasons for the reduction of its capital or such other information in regard to the redution of cits capital as the Court may think expedient with a view to give proper information to the public in relation to the reduction of its capital by a company, and, if the Court thinks fit, the causes which led to such reduction.

The minute required to be registered in the case of re- duction of capital shall show, in addition to the other particulars required by law, the amount (if any) at the date of the registration of the minute proposed to be deemed to have been paid up on each share.

6. Any company limited by shares may so far modify the conditions contained in its memorandum of Association, if authorised so to do by its regulations as originally framed or as altered by special resolution, as to reduce its capital by cancelling any shares which, at the date of the passing of such resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person; and the provisions of The Companies Ordinance, 1877 shall not apply to any reduction of capital made in pursuance of this section..

PART IV.

Accumulated Profits.

7. When any company has accumulated a sum of un- livided profits, which ith the consent of the shareholders may be distributed among the shareholders in the form of a dividend or bonus, it shall be lawful for the company, by special resolution, to return the same, or any part thereof, to the shareholders in reduction of the paid up capital of the company, the unpaid capital being thereby increased by a similar amount. The powers vested in the directors of making calls upon the shareholders in respect of moneys unpaid upon their shares shall extend to the amount or the unpaid capital as augmented by such reduction.

8. No su special resolution as aforesaid shall take effect until a memorandum, showing the particulars re- quired by law in the case of a reduction of capital by order of the Court, shall have been produced to and registered by the Registrar of Companies.

9. Upon any reduction of paid up capital made in pur- suance of this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for any share- holder, or for any one or more of several joint shareholders, within one month after the passing of the special resolution for such reduction, to require the company to retain, and the company shall retain accordingly, the whole of the moneys actually paid upon the shares held by such person, either alone or jointly with any other person or persons, and which, in consequence of such reduction, would other- wise be returned to him or them, and thereupon the shares

in respect of which the said moneys shall be so retained shall, in regard to the payment of dividends thereon, be deemed to be paid up to the same extent only as the shares on which payment as aforesaid has been accepted by the shareholders in reduction of their paid up capital, and the company shall invest and keep invested the moneys so retained in such securities, as may be authorised by the Supreme Court, and upon the money so invested, or upon so much thereof as from time to time exceeds the amount of calls subsequently made upon the shares in respect of which such moneys shall have been retained, the com- pany shall pay such interest as shall be received by them from time to time on such securities, and the amount so retained and invested shall be held to represent the future calls which may be made to replace the capital so reduced on those shares, whether the amount obtained on sale of the whole or such proportion thereof as represents the amount of any call when made, produces more or less than the amount of such call.

10. From and after such reduction of capital the com- pany shall specify in the annual lists of members, to be made by them in pursuance of the twenty-fifth section of The Companies Ordinance, 1865, the amounts which any of the shareholders of the company shall have required the company to retain, and the company shall have retained accordingly, in pursuance of the 9th Section of this Ordi- nance and the company shall also specify in the statements of account laid before any General Meeting of the com- pany the amount of the undivided profits of the company. which shall have been returned to the shareholders in re- duction of the paid up capital of the company under this. Ordinance.

PART V.

Defunct Companies.

11. (1.) Where the Registrar of Companies has reason- able cause to believe that a company, whether registered before or after the passing of this Ordinance, is not carrying on business or in operation, he shall send to the company a letter inquiring whether the company is carrying on business or in operation.

(2.) If the Registrar does not within one month of sending the letter receive any answer thereto, he shall within fourteen days after the expiration of the month send to the company a second letter referring to the first letter, and stating that no answer thereto has been received by the Regis- trar, and that if an answer is not received to the second letter within one month from the date thereof, a notice will be published in the Gazette with a view to striking the name of the company off the register.

(3.) If the Registrar either receives an answer from the company to the effect that it is not carrying on business or in operation, or does not within one month after sending the second letter receive any answer thereto, the Registrar may publish in the Gazette and send to the company a notice that at the expiration of three months from the date of that notice the name of the company mentioned therein will, unless cause is shown to the contrary, be struck off the register and the company will be dissolved.

(4.) At the expiration of the time mentioned in the notice the Registrar may, unless cause to the contrary is previously shown by such company, strike the name of such company off the register, and shall publish notice thereof in the Gazette, and on the publication in the Gazette of such last mentioned notice the company whose name is so struck off shall be dissolved: Provided that the liability (if any) of every director, managing officer, and member of the company shall continue and may be enforced as if the company had not been dissolved.

(5.) If any company or member thereof feels aggrieved by the name of such company having been struck off the register in pursuance of this section, the company or member may apply to the Supreme Court and the Court, if satisfied that the com- pany was at the time of the striking off carrying on business or in operation, and that it is just

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JANUARY, 1887.

so to do, may order the name of the company to be restored to the register, and thereupon the company shall be deemed to have continued in existence as if the name thereof had never been struck off; and the Court may by the order give such directions and make such provisions as seem just for placing the company and all other per- sons in the same position as nearly as may be as if the name of the company had never been struck off.

(6.) A letter or notice authorised or required for the purposes of this section to be sent to a company may either be sent by post or may be delivered by hand addressed to the company at its regis- tered office, or, if no office has been registered, addressed to the care of some director or officer of the company, or if there be no director or officer of the company whose name and address are known to the Registrar, the letter or notice (in identical form) may be sent or delivered to each of the persons who subscribed the memoran- dum of association, addressed to him at the address mentioned in that memorandum.

(7.) In the execution of his duties under this section the Registrar shall conform to any regulations which may be from time to time made by the Governor in Council.

PART VI.

12. In the winding up of any Company under The Com- panies Ordinances 1865 to 1886 whose assets may prove insufficient for the payment of its debts and liabilities and the costs of winding up, the same rules shall prevail and be observed as to the respective rights of secured and un- secured creditors as to debts and liabilities provable and as to the valuation of annuities and future and contingent liabilities respectively as may be in force for the time being under the law of bankruptcy with respect to the estate of per- sons adjudged bankrupt; and all persons who in any such case would be entitled to prove for and receive dividends out of the assets of any such Company may come in under the winding up of such Company, and make such claim against the same as they may be entitled to under any proceedings in bankruptcy.

13. In the distribution of the assets of any company being wound up under The Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1886, there shall be paid in priority to other debts,

(a.) All wages or salary of any clerk or servant in respect of service rendered to the company during four months before the commencement of the winding up not exceeding two hundred and forty dollars; and

(b.) All wages of any labourer or workman in respect. of services rendered to the company during two months before the commencement of the wind- ing up.

14. The debts mentioned in the preceding section shall rank equally among themselves, and shall be paid in full, unless the assets of the company are insufficient to meet them, in which case they shall abate in equal proportions between themselves.

15. Subject to the retention of such sums as may be necessary for the costs of administration or otherwise, the liquidator or liquidators or official liquidator shall discharge the said last mentioned debts forthwith, so far as the assets of the company are and will be sufficient to meet them, as and when such assets come into the hands of such liquidator or liquidators or official liquidator.

PART VII.

Miscellaneous.

16.

20. The accounts of the liquidator shall be left with the Regis- trar at the times directed by the order appointing him, and at such other times as may from time to time be required by the judge, and such accounts shall, upon notice to such parties (if any) as the judge shall direct, be passed and verified in the same manner as Receivers' accounts.

Proof of Debts.

21. For the purpose of ascertaining the debts and claims due from the company, and of requiring the creditors to come in and prove their debts or claims, an advertisement shall be issued, at such time as the judge shall direct and such advertisement shall fix a time for the creditors to send their names and addresses, and the particu lars of their debts or claims, and the names and addresses of their solicitors (if any), to the official liquidator, and appoint a day for adjudicating thereon.

22. The creditors need not attend upon the adjudication, nor prove their debts or claims, unless they are required to do so by notice from the official liquidator; but upon such notice being given, they are to. come in and prove their debts or claims within a time to be therein specified.

23. The official liquidator shall investigate the debts and claims sent in to him, and ascertain, so far as he is able, which of such debts and claims are justly due from the company and he shall make out and leave with the Registrar a list of all the debts and claims sent in to him, distinguishing which of the debts and claims, or parts of debts and claims so claimed, are, in his opinion, justly due and proper to be allowed without further evidence, and which of them, in his opinion, ought to be proved by the creditors and he shall make and file, prior to the time appointed for adjudication, an affidavit etting forth which of the debts and claims in his opinion are justly due and proper to be allowed without further evidence, and stating his belief that such debts and claims are justly due and proper to be allowed, and the reasons for such belief.

24. At the time appointed for adjudicating upon the debts and claims, or at any adjournment thereof, the judge may either allow the debts and claims upon the affidavit of the official liquidator, or may require the same, or any of them, to be proved by the claimants, and adjourn the adjudication thereon to a time to be then fixed; and the official liquidator shall give notice to the creditors whose debts or claims have been so allowed of such allowance.

25. The official liquidator shall give notice to the creditors whose debts or claims have not been allowed upon his affidavit, that they are required to come in and prove the same by a day to be therein named, being not less than four days after such notice, and to attend at a time to be therein named, being the time appointed by the ad- vertisement, or by adjournment (as the case may be) for adjudicating upon such debts and claims.

26. The value of such debts and claims as are made admissible to proof by the 146th section of The Companies Ordinance 1865 shall so far as is possible, be estimated according to the value thereof at the date of the order to wind-up the company.

27. Interest on such debts and claims as shall be allowed shall be computed, as to such of them as carry interest, after the rate they res- pectively carry; any creditor whose debt or claim so allowed does not carry interest, shall be entitled to interest, at such rate per cent per annum as may from time to time be allowed by the Court or a Judge under The Usury Ordinance 1886 from the date of the order to wind- up the company, out of any assets which may remain after satisfying the costs of the winding-up, the debts and claims established, and the interest of such debts and claims as by law carry interest.

28. Such creditors as come in and prove their debts or claims pur- suant to notice from the official liquidator, shall be allowed their costs of proof, in the same manner as in the case of debts proved in a suit. 29. The result of the adjudication upon debts and claims shall be stated in a certificate to be made by the Registrar and certificates as to any of such debts and claims may be made from time to time. All such certificates shall state whether the debts or claims are allowed or disallowed, and whether allowed as against any particular assets, or in any other qualified or special manner.

List of Contributories.

30.

83. If any debt or claim, the particulars of which are so sent in, shall not be admitted by the company at its full amount, then and in every such case, unless the company are willing to set apart and appropriate in such manner as the Judge shall direct the full amount of Euch debt or claim, the company shall, if the Judge thinks fit so to direct, send to the creditor, a notice that he is required to come in and prove such debt or claim, or such part thereof as is not admit- ted by the company, by a day to be therein named, being not less than four clear days after such notice and being the time appointed by the Judge for adjudicating upon such debts and claims, and such notice shall be sent in the manner hereinbefore mentioned in the 80th Rule.

84. Such creditors as come in to prove their debts or claims in pursuance of any such notice as is hereinbefore mentioned in the 83rd Rule shall be allowed their costs of proof against the company, and be answerable for costs, in the same manner as in the case of persons coming in to prove debts under a judgment or decree in a suit.

87. Before the hearing of the petition, notices stating the day on which the same is appointed to be heard shall be published at such times and in such newspapers as the Judge shall direct.

88. Any creditor settled on the said list whose debt or claim has not, before the hearing of the petition, been discharged or determined, or been secured in manner provided by the 13th Section of The Com- panies Ordinance 1877 and who has not before the hearing signed a consent to the proposed reduction of capital, may if he thinks fit, upon giving two clear days' notice to the solicitor of the company of his intention so to do, appear at the hearing of the petition and oppose the application.

89. Where a creditor who appears at the hearing under the last preceding Rule is a creditor the full amount of whose debt or claim is not admitted by the company, and the validity of such debt or claim has not been inquired into and adjudicated upon under section 13th of The Companies Ordinance 1877 the costs of and occasioned by his appearance shall be dealt with as to the Court shall seem just, but in all other cases a creditor appearing under the last preceding Rule shall be entitled to the costs of such appearance, unless the Court shall be of opinion that in the circumstances of the particular case his costs ought not to be allowed.

90. When the petition comes on to be heard, the Court may, if it shall so think fit, give such directions as may seem proper with refer- ence to the securing in manner mentioned in Section 13th of The Companies Ordinance 1877 the payment of the debts or claims of any creditors who do not consent to the proposed reduction; and the further hearing of the petition may, if the Court shall think fit, be adjourned for the purpose of allowing any steps to be taken with reference to the securing in manner aforesaid the payment of such, debts or claims.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

The following Annual Report of the Postmaster General, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th January, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, January 1st, 1887.

　　SIR, I have the honour to report upon the working of the Post Office in Hongkong and China during the year 1886.

　　2. The exchange of Parcels with the United Kingdom established towards the end of 1885 has worked with great regularity and smoothness, whilst the steadily increasing numbers of parcels forwarded show that it is appreciated by the public. During the year under review 3,136 parcels have been forwarded from Hongkong to London, whilst 3,516 have been received, making a total of 6,652 parcels exchanged, almost without a complaint of any kind. There have been, of course, as it was foreseen there would be, a few false alarms* of missing parcels, and early in the year some parcels were damaged by an accident on the mail steamer. The damage, however, was trifling, and compensation was paid in the only case where real harm was done. By the last mail in the year* several parcels were received in a damaged state from having been put into a box with a package con- taining, pomatum, which had of course melted, and which should not have been forwarded, unless in soldered tin. As far as is known at present, even in this case no serious damage resulted to the con- tents of the parcels. With these exceptions the parcels have all turned out in good order. It is observed that books are now often sent by Parcel Post, presumably because they do not get knocked about as do articles which are forwarded in mail bags. The London Post Office complains of the insecure way in which many parcels are packed by the senders, leading to the breakage of their con- tents on the way, and also of the inaccuracy with which contents are described.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Thus a parcel stated by the sender to contain silk handkerchiefs and a gold ring is found on examination to contain six silk handkerchiefs, a tea cosy, a gold ring, a bead necklace, a puzzle and a pair of ivory solitaires. Perhaps this notice may tend to induce more care as to both of these matters.

　　3. The limit of weight for parcels to the United Kingdom and a good many other countries has been raised from 7 to 11 lb., whilst facilities have been provided for forwarding parcels to most of the countries of Europe, to Egypt, and to a good many British Colonies. Direct parcel exchanges with Malta and Gibraltar have also been established. Negotiations have been commenced with several of the Australian Colonies for the establishment of an exchange of parcels, and these are progressing favourably.

　　4. The number of Transit Parcels, as they are called (that is of parcels sent to or from Colonies and foreign countries through London) has not been great. Possibly the circuitous route, and the necessarily somewhat high charges may have acted as deterrents. The following return shows the exchanges of Transit Parcels for the year.

* Every week a sheaf of letters is received from various Post Offices representing that this or that Registered Article has not reached its destination. The same stereotyped answer is always sent, that it was delivered on such a day, and that the addressee signed a receipt for it. Nothing further is ever heard of these complaints, which generally arise from the senders' not having allowed time for the arrival of the corres- pondence. A case was recently noticed in which a person resident in France had registered a letter for Peking, and then within one week from the date of posting had complained of its non-delivery there

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 15TH JAN, 1887.

5. By far the greater number of parcels sent home contain presents of some kind, whilst the greater number of those sent out contain supplies, such as hosiery, clothing, &c. The largest parcel mail despatched was that of November 8th (the Christmas mail) by which 314 parcels, weighing 588 b. (net)* were forwarded. The largest parcel mail received was that which arrived here on December 17th, with 246 parcels weighing 642 lb.

6. A new mail service between Bremerhaven, Brindisi, Shanghai and Japan has been commenced by the packets of the North German Lloyds line. The fact that these packets start only once every four weeks, and that their departures from China coincide very nearly with those of the French mails prevents this line being a very important factor in the mail routine, but it has been possible to establish, by its means, a direct Parcel Post to most countries of the Continent of Europe. There was no parcel post to several important European countries (France for instance) whilst the others were served by a circuitous route via Gibraltar and London. Only six parcels were despatched by the German Packet which left on December 27th. It might be well for German residents in China, who are desirous of getting out any small articles from Germany, to let their friends in that country know that they can now forward parcels not exceeding three kilogrammes in weight to Hongkong or Chinese ports at a fixed postage of Fr. 4.25 per parcel.

7. The following figures as to the arrivals of the first two German mails in London may be of interest.

8. A correspondence has taken place between the Imperial Post Office, the Colonial Office, and this Government, as to the renewal of the Contract for transporting the English mails between Brindisi and Shanghai. There were only three offers, those, namely, of the P. & O. Co., of Mr. ALFRED HOLT, and of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. One of the tenders of the first-named Company has been accepted, the mails to be carried for ￡265,000 a year for ten years. The report of this Department on the subject will be found in the Appendix (B).

9. Although the proposed trans-pacific line of steamers between Hongkong and British Columbia will not do much for this Colony so far as postal matters are concerned, its establishment is to be desired on many other grounds. Since the Pacific mail packets commenced running between this port and San Francisco, correspondence with Canada has increased in the most marked manner, chiefly owing no doubt to the numbers of Chinese who have settled in Victoria (B. C.) and elsewhere.

10. The dispute between the Pacific mail Company and the United States Government, which led to the discontinuance of carrying inward mails from San Francisco by the Company's vessels, has been adjusted, and the mails now arrive by every steamer from San Francisco as before. The inconvenience of having the return mails frequently despatched from here on the day fixed for the leaving of the English or French packet still continues.

11. There has been no extension of Money Order business during the year, which is not a matter of regret, as the Money Order system was really growing too fast for the limited resources of the Department to keep pace with it. It has been found absolutely necessary to have more clerical assistance in the Money Order Office, and this has been provided without very much difficulty. The want of room, however, is increasingly and severely felt, and a simple remedy is not so easy to devise. The business of the Money Order Office, like too much of the work of this Department, is carried on in a dark and crowded corner, where literally there is often not room to turn, and where every square inch is economised as if it were a ship's cabin.

12. This want of room is yearly becoming a more serious question. The Sanitary Board has pointed out that the quarters inhabited by the Chinese staff are overcrowded. They certainly are according to European ideas, even according to Chinese ideas there is not much room to spare. When foreign countries begin to claim their International right to have direct Parcel exchanges with Hongkong, it will be very difficult to see where the necessary room is to come from. A little additional space may be gained by building, and by a re-arrangement of verandahs &c., and then (unless it were possible to put on an additional storey) the limit will have been reached, and at much sacrifice of light and air.

The Colony will be face to face with a demand for a new Post Office. The present building was finished in 1865, and was evidently intended to be final. When the office is rebuilt it should be constructed, not for existing needs, but for those of twenty years later.

13. The Secretary of State has consented, in view of the representations of this Department, to allow the employment of unsalaried probationers, in the Post Office only. Postal work is distinctly work which has to be learnt, a beginner, however intelligent, is somewhat worse than useless; he gets in the way, has to be shown everything, and he makes mistakes. Hence the desirability of having an extra hand always in training, so that when a vacancy does occur it has not to be filled by a raw recruit.

* With the boxes, thesc parcels weighed nearly half a ton.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 15TH JAN., 1887. 47

　　14. It may perhaps be permissible to point out how, in this Office, unlike most other Post Offices, everything has to be filtered through two languages, one of which at least is but very imperfectly understood by many of the clerks who use it. At home a postman reads the address on a letter and delivers it accordingly. Here he depends on one or two hastily written Chinese characters, and if there happens to be a similarity in sound between the name as dictated, or as written, and some other name (Hooper and Cooper, Tai-ku and Tai-kun for instance) the chances of a mistake are very great.

15. A Committee consisting of the Acting Harbour Master, the Director of the Observatory, and the Postmaster General was appointed to examine into the question of signalling the English mails from Kowloon Point. It was found impossible to devise any efficient and inexpensive signal which would not clash with the weather signals made at that station. It was therefore recommended that the use of the Kowloon Point gun for mail signals should be discontinued. Fortunately no inconvenience has arisen from the arrival of an unsignalled mail, a circumstance which may be due to an unusual freedom from fog during the year. It is to be hoped that some day all difficulties of this kind will be obviated by telegraphic communication with the projected Gap Rock lighthouse, which would give the community here four hours notice of the approach of the mail.

　　16. In the meantime a direct telephone line between this Office and the Peak signal station is much to be desired. What with clouds, night fall, flags blowing straight on end, and other circumstances, the Post Office too often obtains the minimum rather than the maximum of information from the Peak.

　　17. There have been two casualties during the year. The steamer Douglas was lost on February 10th with coast mails on board, which were not recovered. Communication between the Coast Ports and Hongkong having been interrupted for several days by the Chinese New Year holidays. the mails were unfortunately exceptionally heavy. The Madras was lost with a mail for this Office from Nagasaki. Most of the correspondence was subsequently recovered by H. M. S. Midge, and forwarded to destination.

18. The service to Japan has gone on fairly well, the mails having been forwarded without many excessive delays. The English mail of January 22nd was sent on to Kobe in the City of Rio (via Yokohama). It would have been better to keep it here a couple of days longer for the Zambesi, but at the time of its despatch it was not known when that vessel would start. The English mail of September 3 was sent to Yokohama in the Claymore, whereas it should have been kept for the Stettin. The German service was a little new at the time, the Stettin was not notified, and it escaped notice that there would be a German Packet leaving within a day or two. As far as is known these were the only occasions on which this Office failed to secure the earliest opportunity for a mail for Japan except one instance (the French mail for Yokohama of October 22nd) in which it was so doubtful which steamer would arrive first that this office would not take the responsibility of diverting the mail from its ordi- nary route via Kobe. Against these may be set the fact that, on July 13th, the Agent of the Pacific Mail Co. courteously detained the San Pablo for the arrival of the English mail, thus saving the Yokohama community a delay of probably at least two days.

19. The abolition of accounts with the London Office, referred to in the last Annual Report as under consideration, has been carried out, and our relations with the United Kingdom are now simply those of the Postal Union, with a special payment of ￡6,000 a year in addition. The saving of labour, copying, &c. is very considerable.

　　20. The state of several of our Postal Agencies, specially those of Amoy and Foochow, was taken into serious consideration by the Government on the earnest representations of this Department. It was felt that the existing condition of affairs could not be allowed to go on, and that, unsatisfactory as it might be for Hongkong to be saddled with the whole expense of improving these Agencies, improved they must be-or abolished. ? The Estimates for this year would accordingly have embodied provision for a considerable increase of staff at Amoy, had not a proposal been made which promised an entirely new departure.

21. This was a proposal from Mr. Commissioner KOPSCH, on behalf of the Chinese Government, to take over, as a step towards the establishment of a national Post Office, the Postal work carried on by this Government at eight of the Treaty Ports of China. The report of this Department on that proposal will be found in the Appendix (C).

22. Mr. KOPSCH's scheme has of course raised much discussion, especially in Shanghai, where a public meeting was convened to consider the matter. The tone both of this meeting, and of the articles and correspondence in the newspapers, was most fair, reasonable, and moderate. Some of the objections raised possess much force, though only one has as yet been put forward which can be regarded as a real obstacle to the proposal.

　　* A letter was handed to a Chinese postman who was told to take it to Mr. X. "Do you mean long-bearded X?" he asked. The name being one that did not lend itself to Chinese pronunciation, the soubriquet of long-bearded X. had been invented to prevent errors. The same difficulty applies to names of streets, &c. Richmond Terrace is called the New six houses, West Terrace the Old six houses, the Albany is Figure 1 Row (because of its shape), Pedder's Hill is the Two Flagstaffs (though there are no flagstaffs there now), the Wellington Barracks are called after a Chinese character 1) which their ground plan is supposed to resemble.

　　?These remarks must not be taken as implying any reflection on the officers in charge of the Agencies in question, whose only fault was their inability to do impossibilities, er to be in two places at once.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 15TH JAN., 1887.

　　23. How China may elect to develop her Postal system is not in any special way the affair of Hongkong, but a single remark on the subject may perhaps be allowable. To demand that so huge an Empire shall be covered with a network of courier services organised by the Imperial Government before that Government may attempt the much more modest task of carrying on the small coast service at present conducted by this Colony, is, as one of the speakers at Shanghai graphically put it, like insisting that a boy shall not go near the water till he has learned to swim. Any successful postal system in China must begin from the coast, and with steamer communication. It may then possibly be pushed up the rivers as steamers are admitted to them, and extended to a few of the shorter land routes, especially as railways are introduced. To make haste slowly should be the motto, and the avoidance of huge schemes like a pestilence the policy of the Chinese Post Office of the immediate future.

　　24. Should the proposal of the Chinese Government not be accepted, it will be absolutely necessary to improve our Postal Agencies. They cannot be left as they are. On the other hand, no suggestion to open additional agencies at the expense of this Government should be entertained.

　　25. The time has perhaps arrived when something should be done to bring the Chinese correspon- dence transmitted to and from this Colony more under control. There can be no doubt that the revenue suffers serious loss from the smuggling of thousands of Chinese letters, not to Chinese ports where there is no national Post Office to receive them, but to San Francisco, Australia, the Straits Settlements, and other places where efficient Post Offices exist. The subject is surrounded with difficulties, and the sweeping measures so often advocated, besides being ruinously expensive, would make the Postal Department here a nuisance and a hindrance to trade which would not be tolerated for a week. The function of a Post Office is to facilitate, not to hinder business. Proposals of a practical nature have, as you are aware, been submitted to the Government in this matter, and they are at present under consideration.

No. 33.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, June 16th, 1886.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 939 of yesterday's date, referring to me for an early report the Secretary of State's Despatch No. 57 of May 14, with its enclosures respecting the proposed new contract for the Eastern Mail Service.

　　2. This subject has been so long under discussion, and is presented by the London Post Office in so clear a light, that there appears to be no doubt as to the course the Colony should pursue. In recommending that the Telegram enclosed in draft should be forwarded without delay, I have the pleasure of knowing that I am in accord with the views of the Legisla- tive Council and of the Chamber of Commerce.

3. That draft Telegram deals with four points.

(1.) The best tender to accept.

(2.) The contribution of Hongkong. (3.) The Canadian route.

(4.) The hour of departure from Hongkong.

　　4. As to the best tender to accept, Lord WOLVERTON's lucid report leaves no question open. I am very glad to see that no experiments are to be tried in the way of leaving the mails to be conveyed, on any portion of the route, by chance

steamers.

　　5. As to the contribution of Hongkong, the Colonial Office has already raised the question whether, if the Imperial Government effects a saving, the Colonies should not share it. The Imperial Treasury replies, Ceylon, yes; Singapore and Hongkong, nt. Hongkong's equitable share of the loss was assessed at ￡12,000 odd, and the Colony has been allowed to pay only ￡6,000. Unless the saving to the Imperial Government amounted to lowering the expenditure by more than half, this sum could not be reduced. This appears to be a fair way of regarding the matter, and I think this Colony should be content to stipulate that it is not to be asked for more than ￡6,000.

6. As to the Canadian route, the Imperial Post Office confirms what I have held since first I looked into the proposal. The service would be slower by three days than that via Suez, and unless fortnightly, and timed to alternate regularly with the French packets, could not possibly replace those of the P. & O. As an alternative route it might be of some service, but unless the homeward packet left .ere within three days of the departure of the English and French Mails, even this small advantage would be lost.

　　7. The question of the hour of departure may seem a small one, but it is not so in reality, for it must be remembered that

any inconvenience caused by an unsuitable hour will recur fortnightly till it is removed. It is better therefore to attend to the point now than to have discontent and memorialising by and by. It is very desirable that the P. & 0. packets, like those of the Messageries line, should leave at noon. The hour of departure of the French packets cannot be altered, on account of saving daylight at the mouth of the Saigon river. Having consulted with Mr. McEwEN, the only member of the Chamber of Commerce I can get hold of this morning, I consider that a uniform noon departure of both mails would meet the wishes of the business and general community, and would do away with the long and fatiguing day now caused fortnightly by the later hour fixed for the departure of the English Mail.

The Honourable F. STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Postmaster General.

No. 29.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, May 26th, 1886.

SIR,-I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter addressed to me by Mr. H. KOPSCH, one of the Commissioners of Customs under the Chinese Government, and a special Commissioner for Postal purposes in China. Mr. KopSCH enquires whether, in view of an extension to all the Treaty Ports of the Customs Postal Service which has been for some years in existence in China, and the intended establishment of a Chinese national Post Office, this Department will withdraw its Postal Agencies from the Ports of Hoihow, Canton, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Ningpo, and Hankow, and its Post Office from Shanghai.

{

2. I enclose a copy of the reply I forwarded to Mr. KOPSCH, pointing out that these Agencies are in reality Agencies of the Imperial Post Office.

3. As His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government will probably think it necessary to refer this matter to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, for the consideration of the Imperial Post Office, I permit myself to offer a few words on this proposal.

4. It seems to me that one main consideration should be kept in view, namely the convenience and welfare of the communities at the various Treaty Ports, which perhaps include more of our fellow-countrymen than of any other nation, the convenience and welfare of their correspondents in other parts of the world, and the interests of trade. The experience of more than eleven years in dealing with the only organised Post Offices in the Far East (until the Japanese Offices were established) convinces me that it is desirable in these interests to accept the proposal of the Chinese Government if possible. 5. Extra-territorial Post Offices may be described as necessary evils, and evils which should be got rid of as soon as the necessity for their continuance is removed. The objections to them must be so well known to H. M. Government that I need not here recapitulate them. In China they have certainly been free from one disadvantage attaching to them elsewhere they have not, hitherto, wounded national susceptibility. But it is quite possible they may eventually do so, and that before very long.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 15TH JAN., 1887.

　　6. The Hongkong Government maintains, under very great disadvantages, eight Post Offices in China. They are worked (except at Shanghai) by Consular Officers, whose Consular duties naturally have to take precedence. Able and diligent as most of these gentlemen are, their frequent removals, and the pressure of other duties inevitably stand in the way of the attainment of any very high degree of efficiency. By the time a Postal Agent has learnt his duties he is due for transfer to another port.

　　7. The Post Offices at most of the Ports, being in the Consulates, are too far removed from the business parts of the Settlements to be really efficient. Only this morning, in looking into a question relative to Swatow, I am reminded that a letter cannot be registered there without sending a messenger across a (frequently tempestuous) stretch of sea which under the most favourable circumstances it takes an hour to cross and re-cross.

8. Another great disadvantage is that the Hongkong Government of course cannot enforce any Postal Regulations in Chinese Ports. The residents send their letters by the mail if they think fit to do so; if not, and more generally, they send them on board the steamers. Too often the chief function of the Post Office seems to be to take the blame if anything goes

wrong.

　　9. The Customs Authorities propose to replace this very inadequate service with Post Offices at 23 ports (including all those at which this Office maintains Agencies). At most if not all of these Ports all the facilities this office can offer would be given to the public, and I cannot doubt that those facilities would eventually be much extended.

　　10. The Customs would bring to the task very much larger staffs, officers on duty night and day, buildings in the heart of the business quarters, steam-launches, facilities for boarding steamers both on arrival and departure, the power of search, and, most important of all, the sanction of the national authority, which would allow of the making and enforcing of regulations, such as exist in most ports elsewhere.

11. I am aware that a proposal to hand over Postal business to any one not under the immediate control of the British with 8 Government will be regarded by some persons, even by some persons whose opinions are entitled to great respect, feeling of little less than horror. Very much the same prejudice existed with regard to the withdrawal of our Post Offices from Japan some years ago. If, since that withdrawal, there has ever been a syllable of complaint from the foreign communities in Japan, I have not heard of it; and if there are Post Offices that do their work better than the Japanese Offices do, I have yet to be made acquainted with them.

　　12. Moreover the way in which the Customs Postal Agencies have been managed so far ( of which I feel I am to some extent in a position to speak), the way in which the whole work of the Customs is done, and the manner in which the lighting of the coast of China has been accomplished and maintained-all these forbid the supposition that Postal work, which only requires ordinary care and attention, would be unsafe in the hands of the Customs establishment.

13. I therefore most cordially recommend the acceptance of the proposal put forward by Mr. Kopsc?. 14. With regard to Mr. KorscH's further questions numbered 2 and 3, I may report as follows;-

15. It is not likely that anything can be definitely arranged so early as January, 1887.

　　16. Supposing foreign Post Offices withdrawn, but China not for some time subsequent to their withdrawal admitted to the Postal Union, the position would be this; China would be a Non-Union Country, the correspondence originating in which would find its way to the rest of the world through two Union Countries, Hongkong and Japan, the bulk of it through Hongkong.

17. It would be far more satisfactory than making any special and temporary arrangements for Hongkong at once to treat China as if it were a Union Country, that is to say:-

(a.) Correspondence posted at Chinese Post Offices would be prepaid in any stamps the Chinese Government chose to use, would be forwarded by Hongkong as paid to destination, and the Chinese Post Office would keep all the sums it collected by way of postage on such correspondence.

(b) Once a year till China should enter the Postal Union, or once in three years after such entry, observations would be made in Hongkong, during 28 days, of the amount of correspondence originating in China passing through. The totals of these observations would be multiplied by 13.

(c.) 'China would pay Hongkong the actual sums this Colony would be out of pocket from having forwarded the correspondence at its own expense, plus transit rates of 2 fr. per kilogramme for letters and 25 centimes per kilogramme for other objects. In the case of correspondence made up into closed mails these transit rates would not be charged.

(d.) With regard to correspondence for China from foreign countries, the expenses of transit would be arranged by Hongkong with the countries of origin, which are responsible for such expenses, and the correspondence would reach Chinese Offices as paid.

18. This is precisely the course which has been adopted with regard to the Colony of Macao, the Post Office of which used to be regarded as a kind of semi-recognised agency of this Office. The financial results are, I should imagine, satisfactory to that Colony.

19. A great number of details will require settlement in the event of the acceptance of this proposal, but it is useles, to attempt to deal with them at present. I will only say that I know of none incapable of satisfactory adjustment. Fos the information of the Imperial Post Office I may add that the almost daily communication between this port and Shanghair and the possession by the Chinese Government of a line of steamers will prevent any difficulty as to the conveyance of mails, even if both the English and French Mail lines should cease to operate further than Hongkong.

20. The desirability of simplifying Postal matters at Shanghai, where, in a moderate-sized settlement, there are half a dozen different Post Offices, is a point on which I have reported so often that it is needless now to say more about it.

I have &c.,

CLASS I--TRANSLATION INTO CHINESE.

· - Saturday, 8th, 10-12.

In the eastern city there is much more quiet. Their manners are sober, formal, and stately; arising partly, I believe, from the famous and universal dogma of obedience. There is, indeed, hardly any other law. The subject, the wife, the son, the slave obeys: to hear is to obey. This principle of unhesitating, unquestioning obedience leads to quiet. There is no contradiction. There is nothing to talk about. There is nothing like politics. There is no public opinion, of course; for that is based upon private opinion, and determined, resolute will. This extraordinary quiet and solemnity of demeanour may arise partly, also, from a sense of danger. Every man has arms, and has the right both of wearing and of using them: and no man makes a journey, be it only to a neighbouring village, without sword and pistols,

Monday, 10th, 9-9.20.

The authority of the knight, though exerted in that odd manner which accompanies him in all circumstances of life, has a very good effect upon the parish, who are not polite enough to see anything ridiculous in his behaviour; besides that the general good sense and worthiness of his character make his friends observe these little singularities as foils that rather set off than blemish his good qualities.

As soon as the sermon is finished, no body presumes to stir till Sir Roger is gone out of the church. The knight walks,down from his seat in the chancel between a double row of his tenants, that stand bowing to him on each side; and he every now and then inquires, how such an one's wife, or mother, or son, or father does, whom he does not see at church; which is understood as a secret reprimand to the person that is absent.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 32.

The following Annual Report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 22nd January, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 17.

GAOL SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 14th January, 1887.

COLONIAL SECRETARY,

I beg to forward herewith Annual Statistical Return of Victoria Gaol for the year 1886, and beg at the same time to offer the following few observations.

2. In my previous year's Report I submitted that in our Gaol administration we ought to be guided, as far as circumstances allow, by the long and very successful experience of English Prison administration, where a combination of deterrent and reformatory Prison discipline had resulted in a great decrease of crime and reformation of the criminal classes, and as far as the very different conditions of this Gaol admitted, it has been my endeavour, during the past year, to carry out the system which in England has proved so successful.

3. It must, however, be remembered that in the peculiar position of Hongkong, Prison adminis- tration, however excellent, can have but a very small influence in diminishing the criminal population which is not so much bred in the Colony as imported from the neighbouring Chinese Provinces, and the greater or smaller influx of which is chiefly dependent on extraneous causes. While therefore we may expect that both the deterrent and reformatory results of judicious Prison administration may have considerable effect in reducing the proportion of re-convictions, the administration of the Gaol can have only slight influence, one way or another, on the increase or diminution of the floating criminal population confined in the Gaol. If, as recommended by me last year, criminals discharged from Gaol were by legislative enactment placed under Police supervision, we should be able to have some reliable statistics as to how far habitual criminals had been reformed into industrious and honest citizens. present we can only judge vaguely, by comparing, year by year, the percentage of re-convictions. Some improvement.is shewn in this respect in 1886. On the last day of the year 32 per cent. of the prisoners in Gaol were re-convicted prisoners, as against 35 per cent. of the previous year.

SUBORDINATE STAFF.

4. The Gaol Staff, besides the Warden and Head Turnkeys, consists of first and second Class Turnkeys, all Europeans, and first and second Class Assistant Turnkeys, now mostly Europeans, but having a proportion of coloured men and natives among them. These men have all been trained in the. Gaol. None of them had any previous training in Gaol discipline. But more than half the Turnkeys now on the staff, including nearly all appointed during the past year, have been trained to discipline in the Army. The conduct of the European Officers during the year has been good; they were generally zealous and painstaking, they were just and judicious in their intercourse with prisoners and contributed much to the increased discipline which is very observable among the prisoners.

5. I had occasion, in my Report for 1885, to speak unfavorably regarding the coloured and native staff. I can now report a considerable improvement in that class. The most untrustworthy among them were weeded out. Those that remain are decidedly improved. I believe they have benefited from the example of the Europeans. The undue familiarity with prisoners, so observable at first, has now disappeared and I believe that illicit dealings between Turnkeys and prisoners have altogether ceased.

PRISON BUILDINGS.

6. The Prison buildings remain in the state in which they were at the date of my last Report. . The difficulties we have to contend against from overcrowding in associated wards, and from want of proper work-shops, remain as before. They have already been pointed out by me at some length, and need not be repeated. I need only again record my opinion that a really satisfactory deterrent and reformatory Prison discipline cannot be established without the introduction of the separate system and suitable work-shops.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 22ND JAN., 1887.

　　7. On the 30th March last, I made a pressing representation to Government on the overcrowded state of the Gaol and the subject was fully enquired into by a Commission of which the Honourable E. J. ACKROYD was Chairman. Their Report, dated 1st June, 1886, submitted several recommendations, which have in part been carried out, and are, I understand, in part still under the consideration of Government, but no material relief to the congested state of the Gaol has as yet been experienced, and the danger to discipline, the danger of moral contamination, and the provocation and temptation to Prison offences which I pointed out as due to the overcrowding in associated wards, now exists in as full force as ever.

　　8. Notwithstanding the limited and inconvenient space, an extra loom for grass-mat making and an extra loom for coir-mat making have been put up for work during the year. This not only increases the number of prisoners instructed in industrial work, but adds to the profits of the Gaol.

PRISONERS AND THEIR DISCIPLINE.

　　9. In the previous year's Report, I expressed an opinion that Chinese convicts were as amenable to discipline and disposed to be as well conducted as those of most other races. The experience of another year has confirmed me in this opinion. The number of Prison offences reported during the year has indeed been great, compared with those of English Prisons, but this, as formerly reported, is in a great measure due to the enforced association of prisoners, by day and night, at meals, at labour and in sleeping, and also, though in a less degree than formerly, to want of training and experience, in Prison Officers. Yet the present year shows a slow but marked and steady improvement, as to the - number and nature of Prison offences. In 1885, with an average number of 530 prisoners, 6,473 Prison offences were reported, giving an average number of something over 12 Prison offences a year for each prisoner. In 1886, with a daily average of 671 prisoners, 7,198 offences were reported giving an average number of a little over 10 offences a year for each prisoner.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　year for each prisoner. This modest though satisfactory improvement is not owing to any slackness in reporting Prison offences. For increasing strictness in this respect has been the steady rule during the year. But it is not only satisfactory to observe a reduction in the average number of Prison offences, but still more satisfactory to observe that the general experience of the results of a judicious Prison discipline have been verified in this Gaol, in so far as a much larger proportion of the offences during the past year have been committed by a smaller number of habitual offenders. On the last day of 1885 there were only 78 Chinese prisoners in Gaol who had been free of punishment for three months, while on the last day of 1886, there were 144 prisoners who had been free of Prison punishment for three months and, among these, 44 had been free of punishment for a whole year.

　　10. While there is a proportionate reduction, as compared with last year, of every kind of Prison offence, this reduction is most appreciable in the graver Prison offences.

　　11. The inveterate temptation of prisoners, in constant association, to talk is difficult to overcome.. The offences under this head in 1885, were 2,132 to a daily average of 530 prisoners amounted to a small fraction above 4 offences per man per annum. In 1886 these offences were 2,659 to a daily average of 674 prisoners and amounted to a small fraction under 4 offences per man per annum.

　　12. The other graver offences, such as assaults, acts of violence or insubordination, obtaining tobacco or opium, show a marked diminution.

　　13. During the year 7 cases of insubordination towards and assaults on Officers of the Gaol were tried as against 11 cases in 1885. Of these cases 6 offenders were awarded corporal punishment and one was awarded additional imprisonment by the Police Magistrate. The cases of prisoners assaulting and fighting with each other show a fair actual and considerable proportional reduction. Nine of these cases were tried by the Superintendent and a Visiting Justice; eight of these offenders were awarded corporal punishment, and one solitary confinement. Another case, an aggravated assault with a hammer, was tried in the Supreme Court. The remaining cases of assaulting and fighting were not serious and were in fact mostly squabbles over food or work.

　　14. The reduction in the number of offences of having tobacco or opium is a most marked feature during the past year. This is chiefly due to the great attention and vigilance of the Prison Officers. The ingenuity of prisoners and their friends, as exercised in the efforts to pass in these narcotics, is very great, and constant vigilance is necessary.

　　15. In my Report for 1885, I detailed the steps adopted with this view. The tobacco introduced during the year has chiefly been brought in by the chain-gang, and by far the greater number of these offences are for secreting stumps of cigars or cigarettes picked up on the road or at work.

16. In my Report of 1885, I adverted to the risk of possible conspiracies, with so many convicts living in association. This year has not been without its experience in this respect. A conspiracy was made to set fire to the Gaol, in hopes of effecting an escape in the confusion. The attempt was frustrated, ample information having been received in time, and I am in hopes of shortly obtaining sufficient evidence to prosecute the intending incendiaries. As a full report on this subject was sub- mite to Government at the time, it seems unnecessary to enter into details here. The desperadoes concerned in such attempts are generally members of the Triad Society. It is very difficult to get any

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 22ND JAN., 1887.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　But Chinese information from members of this society, although it has been done before now. prisoners who are not Triads are often not unwilling to give information, provided they are not called on to give evidence in a Court which would expose them to the vengeance of the illegal societies.

　　　17. Prison discipline during the year 1886 has, in my opinion, made steady and satisfactory progress. I annex Returns as to Prison offences similar to those submitted last year, adding for the sake of comparison the statistics of 1884 and 1885. In the Return showing prisoners previously con- victed, it will be observed that in 1886, 32 per cent. of prisoners confined on the last day of the year were old offenders as against 35 per cent. in 1885.

LABOUR ON PUBLIC WORKS AND INDUSTRIAL LABOUR.

18. A chain-gang of prisoners has been working during the year under the orders of the Surveyor General on Public Works. It has generally consisted of about 60 men. During the year 1885 and in previous years the work of the chain-gang had not given satisfaction. The men had been allowed extra food, and had not apparently been kept to much hard work by the officers in charge. In con- sequence of the recommendation of a Committee, Government directed the issue of extra food to be discontinued on the 26th June last. The system hitherto in force, of changing the officers in charge of the chain-gang monthly, appeared to me unsuitable and tending to careless supervision. I therefore directed the Head Turnkey in charge and his first assistant, to be kept on this duty for six months at a time and made them responsible for a proper amount of work being done. The result has been - satisfactory. The Surveyor General has assured me that during the past year the work done by the

chain-gang has been satisfactory and valuable.

19. The other industrial work carried on in the Gaol has, on the whole, been as satisfactory as the limited space for work-shops would allow. Considering the great advantage of teaching trades to the criminal class, it is very desirable that facilities should be afforded for the extension of industrial labour.

　　　20. I append an abstract showing the actual profits or savings to Government in ten different industries carried on in the Gaol. The total profit during the year amounts to $3,849.66.

　　　21. I have also recently commenced a new industry. Instead of purchasing the tin plates and mugs for the prisoners' food and tea, I procured old kerosine oil tins and commenced making the plates and mugs

in Gaol. In next Annual Report this will be shown as a profitable industry.

22. I will only offer a few short remarks on prison industry.

　　　23. OAKUM-has, like in the previous year, been the most profitable industry, but it has the draw- back, that in doing this work the prisoners cannot be said to be learning a trade. The demand is also limited and the storage of picked oakum is dangerous. The surplus now on hand will therefore shortly be sold by auction.

　　　24. COIR YARN. --Another loom has been started during the year and the work has gone on well; the output has been more than doubled and the profit nearly doubled.

25. RATTAN WORK.-This work has been steadily progressing, but the sale has as yet been limited. 26. NET-MAKING.-This work is only carried on when orders are received. The amount of work done has been less than in the previous year.

　　　27. Grass-Mat MAKING.-Another loom has been added and the work done during the year was more than triple that of the previous year.

　　　28. WASHING.-A strict account of this industry has been kept this year, for the first time, and it appears that, charging for washing at only half the usual rate in Hongkong (one cent per piece) a very profitable saving has been realised.

29. CARPENTERING-is almost entirely confined to work done for the Gaol.

　　　30. TAILORS' SHOP.-The work in this shop has been considerably extended. The summer clothing of the Gaol Officers was, this year, made up in the Gaol, but under considerable difficulties, and a cer- tain amount of free labour from outside had to be hired to complete the work. I do not think this should be tried again, unless the officer in charge understood the business of tailoring.

31. SHOE-MAKING.-This trade has been very successfully enlarged. All the boots and shoes for Prison Officers have been made and very well made in this shop at a saving of about half a dollar on each pair.

32. PRINTING-has been done for Public Offices and some money has been realised for book- binding.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

33. The most important suggestion I have to offer is one which I repeatedly made, viz.: that immediate steps should be taken to introduce the separate system at least as regards long sentence prisoners, and to increase the space for work-shops and industrial labour. Unless this is done, no really

72 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 22ND JAN., 1887.

efficient deterrent and reformatory Gaol discipline can be established on a firm basis. As the building of a new Gaol seems unlikely to be undertaken for some time, I can only repeat my suggestion of last year that short sentence prisoners, that is, men sentenced to 6 months and under, should be removed to some other building, or perhaps to a hulk; this would leave space enough in Victoria Gaol to accommodate long sentence prisoners on the separate system, and also give more space for industrial work.

34. I would also repeat my suggestion that habitual criminals and others who have earned remission of sentence should be placed by legislative enactment (as in England) under Police supervision, so that, if found returning to a criminal career, they might at once be sent back by the Magistrates to prison.

35. While the Gaol is as now so greatly overcrowded, I think the Government might take into consideration the case of the large number of prisoners mostly belonging to the criminal classes who are confined for want of finding security for good behaviour. I am not allowed to make these men work. They are well fed and live comfortably in associated idleness. I brought this subject to notice in paragraph 21 of my Report for 1885. I am sorry to say. I believe many of these men rather like their sentence and will not find security even when able to do so. And it seems an incongruity that while honest destitutes who are provided with food and lodging in Gaol are compelled to do a daily task of work, the criminal security men are freed from the obligation of performing any labour whatever beyond cleaning their own cells. 479 men were imprisoned during the year for want of finding security.

36. The overcrowding of the Gaol might also be to some extent reduced, if other punishment than imprisonment could be found for the persons now imprisoned for gambling. 399 men have been committed to prison for this offence during the year. The great majority of these men do not belong to the criminal classes. They are mostly hard-working men, rice pounders, and coal porters. They overcrowd the Gaol; they are neither deterred from gambling by imprisonment nor are they improved. It is too much to be feared that many of them are deteriorated and corrupted by compulsory and constant association with the criminal classes they meet in Gaol.

3. On the motion of Dr. MANSON, seconded by the Honourable A. P. McEwEN, it was resolved,-

1. That, with the view of ascertaining the circumstances under which the disease known as Trismus Nascentium is developed, and the localities and houses in which it is specially prevalent, the Government be requested to cause the Registrar General to ascertain, within a fortnight of the registration of the birth, the condition of each child whose birth is registered in the Colony and report,-

(a.) If the child is alive or dead.

(b.) If the child is dead, the date on which it died, the locality in which it dieds

and the cause of death,

2. That the Government cause the Registrar General to ascertain the streets and houses in

which all children who die, within thirty days after birth, are born and die in.

3. That the Government be requested to supply the Board, for a time, with monthly Returns

showing the facts ascertained as above.

　　　4. A letter (No. 2888) from the Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary, concerning the importation of dead meat from Canton was considered. Resolved;-The Board is of the opinion that it is not desirable to prohibit the importation of dead meat, but considers it very necessary that such importation should be subject to stringent regulations as to inspection on arrival and as to sale in the public markets.

5. A minute by the Secretary regarding the burial of a suspected infectious corpse was read. Resolved; -That in cases where death is suspected to have resulted from an infectious disease, and the relatives of the deceased are too poor to bury the corpse promptly, the Secretary incur such expend- iture as is necessary to secure speedy burial.

6. On the motion of the Colonial Surgeon, it was agreed that the weekly Return of Summonses, be in future laid on the table at the Board meetings instead of circulated to Members as at present.

The Board then adjourned till Noon, on Saturday, the 29th January, 1887.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JANUARY, 1887.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION,-No. 38.

The following Report from the Director of the Observatory is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th January, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

REPORT ON THE TIME-SERVICE IN 1886, AND MICROMETRIC

MEASURES OF PLANETS.

　　The transit-instrument was throughout the past year used exclusively for ascertaining the error of the sidereal standard clock. The number of transits observed was 193, and the inclination of the axis was determined 65 times. The azimuthal deviation was whenever necessary corrected by aid of the distant meridian-mark, but this as well as any outstanding error of collimation was eliminated by observing objects very near the zenith,-one passing the meridian south and the other north of the zenith, and reversing the instrument before the transit of the second star. The inclination cannot be similarly eliminated without using an artificial horizon, but this is not practicable as zenith-stars could not be observed reflected from the mercury,-whence the necessity for levelling every night when transits are secured except occasionally for a few nights, if the temperature is quite constant, The inclination affects the observed clock-error with fully its whole amount, but of course the factor is smaller within the tropics than in a higher latitude.

　　The sidereal standard clock has been going without interruption since the beginning of September, 1885, since which epoch the case has not been opened nor the hands touched. It is intended that the rate should be altered in another year. The mean daily rates during ten-day periods are exhibited in the following table, where -means gaining rate.

　　January 0.27 (65), February 0.834 (96), March 0.536 (92), April 0.46 (82), May 0.34 (71), June 0.22 (76), July 0.14 (76), August 0.16 (71), September 0.20 (51), October 0.20 (48), No- vember 0.18 (35), December 0.13 (31).-The mean of the probable errors was 0.19 in 1885 and 0.25 in 1886, and the probable error of the signal during the two past years was therefore about a fifth of a second.

As stated in the time-ball notice published in the Government Gazette on the 10th January 1885, the ball is not dropped on Sundays or on Government Holidays. On the 30th March it failed at 1 p (clock failing to make contact) but was dropped at 2 p. On the 15th July it failed at 1 p (the tele- graph wires being entangled) but was dropped at 2 p. On the 16th, 17th and 19th the ball could not be dropped as the wires were entangled. On the 7th September it failed owing to defective telegraphic connection and also at 1 p on the 8th, but it was dropped by hand at 2 p on the latter date. The ball was dropped by hand from the 9th September till the 2nd November. From the 3rd till the 11th November the signal was not given owing to illness among the staff. Since the 12th November the ball was dropped without intermission by aid of excessive battery-power introduced with the sanction of the Governor.-It is seen, that the time-ball apparatus failed to act only once in 1886, that the telegraphic connection was the cause of failure on 15 days and that the ball was dropped by hand on 47 days. I reported in July the necessity for a new line and this has been approved by His Excellency.

The distance of the great ruddy spot from the nearest edge of the belt was measured on October 21st, 1880, as 3".63, and on October 23rd, as 3.53. The satellites were measured on November 3rd, 1880, as follows: I 1".00, II 1".18, IV 1".30.

The first column in the table exhibits the epoch, the second the angle of position of the polar axis, the third the average deviation of the single measures from the mean (from which the probable error is easily obtained), the fourth the number of pointings, the fifth the magnifying power, the sixth the apparent diameter of the equator, the seventh the diameter vertical to the latter, the eighth and ninth the breadth of the equatorial belts and the great spot, the tenth the length of the latter when on the central meridian. The eleventh, twelvth and thirteenth columns exhibit the differences between the observed values and those calculated by Marth, in which comparison the phase has been taken into account as usual.

From the differences exhibited in the eleventh column the following normal values of the position angle were obtained: I 1880, July 3rd, 335°.95.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　3rd, 335°.95. II 1882, December 14th, 357°.96. III 1886, February 7th, 24°.56. From I and III the right ascension and declination of Jupiter's North-pole were determined as follows: A.R. 275°4', Decl. +65°26′ or Long. 330°25', Lat. +87°34'. Referred to Leverrier's orbit of Jupiter the longitude of the node and the obliquity of the Jovian ecliptic came out as follows: N. 290°31′, ?I°39′. ? The difference between the position angle II and that calculated from these elements is +2°.94.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JANUARY, 1887.

　　When a and d resp. a1 and d1 represent the geocentric right ascensions, and declinations of Jupiter at two epochs, A and D the coordinates of his north-pole referred to the terrestrial equator, p and p1 the observed position angles and i the angle between the Jovian axis, and the plane on which it is projected, perpendicular to the line of vision, we have the well-known equations:

sin D sin d cos i + cos d sin i cos p..... cos i sin d sin D) + cos d cos D cos (a→A). sin i

cos D sin (a-A) cosec p

Eliminating i from (1) by aid of (2) and (3) we obtain :

tan D-tan d sin (N?a+A) cosec N................

where: tan N=sin d tan p,

and cos N is of the same sign as cos p. Equating the two equations of the form (4) we obtain:

where: From (5) we obtain :

......

.(1) .(2)

·(4)

M sin (N?a+A)=sin (N1-a1+ A)....................

(5)

+ M sin (N-a) - sin (N1-a1)

tan A-

-M cos (Na) + cos (N1-a1)

..(6)

　　The value of A is obtained by aid of (6) and D is then obtained from either of the two equations of the form (4).

　　From the mean of the figures in the sixth and the seventh columns it follows, that the equatorial and polar diameters at the mean distance (5.20273) of Jupiter are 38".207 and 35".942 respectively and that the equatorial semi-diameter at the mean distance of the Earth from the Sun is 99′′.39. The polar is 0.9407 times the equatorial diameter and the ellipticity, or about a seventeenth. Its diameter is about 11 times that of the Earth, and as its mass is 309.8 times as large it follows that its density is of the mean density of the Earth. It appears therefore that the apparent mean density of Jupiter does not considerably exceed that of water, but of course this includes the no doubt extensive gaseous envelope so that the matter nearer the centre may be much denser.

The first column exhibits the epoch. The second, third, fourth and fifth columns are arranged as in the previous table. The sixth to the tenth columns inclusive exhibit the external diameter, the diameter of Cassini's division, the internal diameter of the Ring and the equatorial and polar diameters of the planet. The three last columns exhibit the differences between the observed values and those given in the Nautical Almanac for the position of the semi-minor axis and the external and internal diameters of the Ring.

24.95.

From the measures the following proportions between the different diameters and the external diameter of the Ring were obtained: Ext. 1.0000, Cass. 0.85434, Int. 0.66573, Equ. 0.42733, and the proportion between the polar and the equatorial diameter of the planet 0.95992 and the ellipticity The dimensions at the mean distance (9.5388) of Saturn are: External diameter of Ring 40′′.28, Cassini's division 34′′.42, Internal diameter 26′′.82, Equatorial diameter of the planet 17′′22 and Polar 16′′.53. The equatorial semi-diameter at the mean distance of the earth from the Sun is 82′′.11. Its diameter is about 9 times that of the Earth and as its mass is 102.7 times as large it follows that its density is, or about, of the mean density of the Earth.

PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty.

Viscount Cross. Lord Stanley of Preston.

WHEREAS by the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted that,

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

And whereas in accordance with section 18 of "The Extradition Act, 1870," the Legislature of the Dominion of Canada has, by laws passed in the years 1877 and 1882, and respectively styled "The Extradition Act, 1877," and "An Act to amend the Extradition Act, 1877," made provision for carrying into effect within the Dominion the surrender of fugitive criminals who are in or are suspected of being in the Dominion.

"ARTICLE VIII.

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

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

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

"A requisition for extradition cannot be founded solely on sentences passed in contumaciam, but persons convicted for contumacy shall be deemed to be accused persons.

"ARTICLE XI.

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

"ARTICLE XII.

　"In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as entirely valid evidence the sworn depositions or state- ments of witnesses taken in the other State, or copies thereof. and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, provided such documents purport to be signed or certified by a Judge, Magis- trate, or Officer of such State, and are authenticated by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the official seal of the Minister of Justice, or some other Minister of State.

"ARTICLE XIII.

　　If the individual claimed by one of the two High Contracting Parties, in pursuance of the present Treaty, should be also claimed by one or several other Powers, on account of other crimes or offences committed upon their respective territories, his extradition shall be granted to that State whose demand is earliest in date; unless any other arrangement should have been made between the different Governments to determine the preference, either on account of the gravity of the crime or offence, or for any other reason.

"ARTICLE XIV.

"If sufficient evidence for the extradition be not produced within three months from the date of the apprehension of the fugitive, he shall be set at liberty.

"ARTICLE XV.

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

"ARTICLE XVI.

"The High Contracting Parties renounce any claim for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by them in the arrest and maintenance of the person to be surrendered and his conveyance till placed on board ship; they reciprocally agree to bear such expenses themselves.

"ARTICLE XVII.

"The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty.

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

"Such requisition may be disposed of, subject always, as nearly as may be, to the provisions of this Treaty, by the said Governor or chief authority, who, however, shall be at liberty either to grant the surrender or to refer the matter to his Government.

"Her Britannic Majesty shall, however, be at liberty to make special arrangements in the British Colonies and foreign possessions for the surrender of Guatemalan criminals who may take refuge within such Colonies and foreign possessions, on the basis, as nearly as may be, of the provisions of the present Treaty.

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

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

SIR,

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT, 7th January, 1887.

　　I have the honour to submit the following report of the Government Fire Brigade for the year ending 31st December, 1886.

　　During the year the Fire Brigade has performed important work which, as regards efficiency, is creditable, though not by any means perfect.

　　The rapid growth of the Colony demanding additional facilities for extinguishing fires, I recommended the Government early last year to purchase two additional Steam Engines which I proposed to station in the eastern and western districts to be on the spot in case of fire occurring in either locality. The Government sanctioned the purchase of one engine which is on its way from England, and a Steam Fire Pump has been fitted to the Steam-launch Stanley, which, if placed at the disposal of the Brigade, will bring up the strength of the available Fire Engines to the following:-

No. 6 Deane's (floating)

.Floating Steamer.

..Land

do. expected from England. fitted in steam-launch Stanley.

Manuals 9 in number stationed in different parts of the Colony.

　　No. 2 Engine has been 16 years in service, and is now fitted with, new steam cylinders and valve casing which will render the engine serviceable for some years.

　　The Government offices and other important centres have been supplied with hose and stand pipes.

　　With regard to fire alarms, a new bell has been supplied to the clock tower, and the bell of No. 5 Station has been raised so that its sound can be heard at a greater distance. These, however, are anything but perfect as fire alarms, as considerable time must of necessity elapse between the out- break of a fire and communication to, the station. This has been proved several times by the advanced state which the conflagration had reached on the arrival of the first engine.

　　The whole of the hose for the steam engines has been fitted with couplings on the Metropolitan Fire Brigade pattern which greatly facilitates connecting the lengths of hose.

　　The engines have been periodically overhauled, and carefully examined and tested, and are all in first rate order, though I should recommend a new Fire-box for No. 3 Engine during the current year.

　　Weekly drills have been held for instruction of Drivers and Firemen in their respective duties, when steam has been raised on each engine in turn. The system of fines sanctioned by His Excellency has proved successful in the increased attendance at weekly parades, and a greater attention to cleanliness and dress. The whole of the Chinese firemen have been supplied with belts and hose- wrenches, and have been instructed in elementary fire drill.

　　Considerable difficulty frequently arises at low water spring tides in obtaining water at various parts of the Praya, when the floating engine proves invaluable. The dredging operations, when completed on the fore-shore, will remove what has at times been a great difficulty.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 29TH JAN., 1887.

Our staff at present consists of :-

1 Superintendent.

1 Assistant Superintendent.

Do.

and Engineer.

Do., Chinese.

Do.

1 Clerk.

1 Assistant Engineer.

2 Engine Drivers, Chinese.

Do., Europeans.

2 Assistant Engine Drivers, Europeans.

6 Stokers.

1 Overseer of Water Works.

1 Inspector of Dangerous Goods.

1 Chinese Assistant Do.,

2 Foremen.

4 Assistant Foremen. 17 Firemen, Europeans.

30 Do., Market Coolies. 10 Chinese Contingent.

15 Watchmen.

Floating Engine.

1 Assistant Foreman and Engine Driver. 1 Chinese Engine Driver.

1 Stoker.

2 Seamen.

　　Since the post of second Assistant Superintendent has been abolished and the joint appointment of Assistant Superintendent and Engineer has been made, a greater responsibility has fallen on the Acting Assistant Engineer, as the Engineer in his dual capacity is frequently called away to the scene of the fire, and must leave the Engines in charge of the next in command.

　　Looking to the increased duties that devolve upon the Engineer and his Assistant, who now have to keep in an efficient state six steam engines and nine manuals, I consider the remuneration, which was voted at a time when there were only two steam engines, is somewhat inadequate to the increased duties and responsibilities.

At the Annual General Inspection in November last, a new feature was introduced in the form of competition at Fire drills for prizes, which acted as a stimulus to the members of the Brigades and gave them greater interest in their work; and amongst the Chinese particularly, this has resulted in bringing to the front some really valuable firemen. As an instance of the efficiency of the Brigades, I may. mention that at the recent fire which occurred in Bonham Strand on a Sunday afternoon, within the space of a few minutes of the alarm being sounded, thirteen powerful jets of water were playing upon 'the burning houses.

　　At first sight our Brigade appears to be not only adequate as regards machinery, but also numerically, but when it is borne in mind that not more than half of the Europeans are available at any one fire, and that the hilly configuration of the Colony often requires two engines to do the work of one in order to reach the elevation required, it will be seen that the Brigade is under, rather than over, the necessary strength for a growing Colony like Hongkong.

　　The supply of water from the new Water-works (in course of construction) will materially assist in extinguishing fires in the upper levels of the Colony, and also in the early stages of all fires, if my suggestion with regard to telephonic communication is adopted. But the value of water mains must not be over-estimated, as in a case similar to that in Bonham Strand (referred to before) it would be impossible to concentrate such a body of water at any one given point from hydrants as could be obtained by steam Engines, and the superiority of salt water over fresh, for extinguishing fires is universally acknowledged.

　　I cannot close this report without mentioning the able assistance I have had during the past year from the Officers of the Brigade. I may specially mention Mr. WAGNER, who has been acting as Engineer and Assistant Superintendent, Mr. RAE, the chief foreman, and Mr. CAMPBELL, Acting Assistant Engineer. These officers have devoted a great deal of time and attention to their respective duties and the present efficiency of the Brigade is in a great measure due to their untiring exertions.

　　We are greatly indebted to the Captain Superintendent of Police for the excellent qrder kept by his force at the various fires. The systematic working of the Brigade, and absence of malicious injury to hose and larceny of Government property, is greatly owing to the vigilance of the Police.

　　Subjoined is a tabulated form showing the number of alarms of Fires, and estimated damage for the past year.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

25, Old Broad Street, July 13, 1886.

Berne, July 3, 1886.

　　THE Government of the French Republic, while announcing that it is ready to sign the International Convention for the protection of artistic and literary works, the signing of which will take place at the Conference opening at Berne on the 6th September next, transmits to us a "Projet de Declaration," which it desires also to see adopted and signed by the Plenipotentiaries present at the Conference.

　　We have the honour to transmit to your Excellency copies of this "Projet," begging that you will be good enough to examine it, and to give to Her Majesty's Plenipotentiaries to the Conference of the 6th September. instructions on the subject. If we, as initiators of the Conferences which have elaborated the Convention, may be allowed to express our opinion, we consider that this "Projet de Declaration" conforms entirely with the views expressed at the sittings of the Conferences of 1884 and 1885; it is designed to put an end to certain doubts which might actually be raised in the interpretation of the Convention; and, with this end, it might be adopted as an annex thereto, without thereby affecting the decision arrived at by the last Conference, namely, that no change should be made in the existing text of the Convention.

Declaration. (Translation.)

SOME doubts having arisen as to the meaning of Articles V, VII, IX, and X of the Convention concluded this day, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries have recognized the need of explaining them, and have, with this end in view, unanimously adopted the following Declaration:-

1. The § 2 of Article V applies to "romans-feuilletons.'

110

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1887.

2. The "romans-feuilletons" constituting less a newspaper article than a literary work published in a special form, it is understood that, with regard to their reproduction, either in original or in translation, they are regulated not by Article VII, but by Articles II, V, X, and XI of the Convention concluded to-day.

or in

3. The right of publication of dramatic and dramatico-musical works in their original language, or in translation, and the right of representing these same works in their original language, translation, are entirely distinct from each other; consequently, the publication of such a work does not authorize the representation without the consent of the author, any more than the representation authorizes the publication.

4. Dramatization, that is to say, the transformation of a story into a play, or vice versa, is especially included among the unauthorized indirect appropriations which Article X characterizes as illicit reproductions.

Mr. Bryce to Sir R. Herbert.*

Sir,

Foreign Office, July 19, 1886.

I AM directed by the Earl of Rosebery to state to you, for the information of Earl Granville, that the International and Colonial Copyright Act having been passed, Her Majesty's Government have accepted the invitation of the Swiss Government to be represented at a Conference to be held at Berne in September next for the purpose of signing the International Copyright Convention.

In view of recent correspondence with the Colonial Office, his Lordship presumes that the British Delegates should notify that the accession to the Union of Great Britain comprehends all the British Colonies; but I am directed to inquire whether Lord Granville thinks that it will be desirable to add a Declaration to the effect that any one of the Representative Colonies may give notice of withdrawal separately by means of a communication to that effect made by the Imperial Government.

[? In case Lord Granville thinks this course desirable, will you inform me whether he thinks that the list of the Colonies to be named in such Declaration should be the same as that now included in the Colonial Article contained in recent Commercial Treaties.]

I am, &c.

Mr. Bryce to Sir T. Farrer.

Sir,

Foreign Office, July 20, 1886.

I AM directed by the Earl of Rosebery to transmit to you, to be laid before the Board of Trade, a copy of a note from the Swiss Agent and Consul-General in London, inclosing copies of a Project of Declaration which the French Government will propose for signature simultaneously with the International Copyright Convention at the Conference to be held next September. I

Upon this Project Lord Rosebery desires to make the following observations:- Clauses 1 and 2 appear to be unobjectionable.

Clause 3 appears to be substantially in accordance with existing British law, but it would be desirable to have further explanations as to the exact meaning which is attached to the first sentence. In regard to clause 4, it is believed that existing British law forbids the publication of an unauthorized dramatic version of a novel, but not its representation on the stage.

The Board of Trade will recollect that the British Delegates to the Copyright Conference last year recommended in their Report (p. 56 of Blue Book and section 5 of Mr. Daldy's draft Bill, p. 39) that the law should be altered so as practically to prohibit both publication and performance, and this recommendation will, no doubt, be considered in connection with any scheme of consolidation which may eventually be brought forward.

　　As the law stands now, however, it seems that protection could only be guaranteed in this country so far as regards publication.

　　Under these circumstances Lord Rosebery, would be glad to be informed whether, in the opinion of the Board, the British Delegates at the approaching Conference should be instructed to express the concurrence of Her Majesty's Government in the principle enunciated in clause 4 of the French Project, but to declare that, until the existing British law can be altered, protection cannot be guaranteed so far as regards representation on the stage of a dramatic version of a novel.

　　It appears, however, to be of importance to discourage the proposal of any substantial alterations in the draft Convention agreed to last year, to meet the exact terms of which the British International Copyright Acts have already been amended by the Statute just passed, and his Lordship would therefore propose, with the concurrence of the Board of Trade, to reply to M. Vernet's note in the terms of the annexed draft.§

My Lord,

Inclosure in No. 4.

The President of the Swiss Confederation to the Earl of Rosebery.

(Translation.)

Berne, July 17, 1886.

IN continuation of our note of the 6th instant, we have to inform your Lordship that our attention has been called to an omission in the wording of the "Projet de Convention" for the protection of literary and artistic works, drawn up by the International Conference held at Berne in the month of September last.

　　　The first line of Article 9 of the Avant-Projet of 1884, which is reproduced almost word for word in the first sentence of Article 7 of the Projet of 1885, was conceived in these terms :-

"Articles extracted from newspapers or periodicals published in any of the countries of the Union may be reproduced in original or in translation in the other countries of the Union."

The Conference of 1885 considered it advisable to suppress the second line of the old "Projet,' enumerating the articles which by their nature were excluded from the right of reproduction, and to replace them by adding to the sentence cited above the words, "unless the authors or publishers may have expressly forbidden it."

In transcribing the new Article an omission was accidentally made of the words, "in the other countries of the Union," which had encountered no opposition, and which seem necessary to the sense of the text, for the Convention could not make stipulations as to the rights of subjects of non- Contracting States.

Though it was understood that no amendment should be made to the text adopted by the Confer ence of 1885, we nevertheless consider that it would be advisable to reinstate in the Convention the words which were left out by inadvertence, and we beg your Lordship to authorize your Plenipoten- tiary to assent to the introduction in Article 7 of the slight modification proposed.

We seize, &c.

I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 13th instant, in which you were good enough to inclose a Project of Declaration which will be proposed by the French Delegates for signature simultaneously with the International Copyright Convention at the Conference to be held at Berne next September, and I beg leave to acquaint you, in reply, that the British Delegates will be furnished with instructions on the subject.

In the meanwhile, I beg leave to request that you will express to your Government the earnest hope of Her Majesty's Government that no alterations will be made affecting in substance the draft Convention agreed upon last year.

On the faith of the Resolution of the Conference that the text then agreed upon should be signed without alteration by those Governments who might be willing to accept it, Her Majesty's Government have already, by a Statute which has just passed through Parliament, amended the British International Copyright Acts to meet the exact terms of the draft Convention, and they would view with great regret any proposals tending to a reconsideration of the bases of union already fixed.

　　With reference to your letter of the 24th instant, I am desired to inclose a draft of instructions to the British Delegates, and to state that his Lordship would be glad to be informed whether the Board of Trade concur therein.

His Lordship further thinks that it may be desirable for the British Delegates to advocate the view that the next International Conference for the revision of the Convention should not be held at an early date, in order that changes calculated to render necessary alterations in domestic law may not be adopted prematurely. **

The Earl of Rosebery to Mr. Adams and Mr. Bergne.

Foreign Office, August 2, 1886.

I HAVE appointed you to be British Delegates to the International Copyright Conference to meet at Berne on the 6th September next, and I transmit to you herewith a Full Power to enable you to sign the Convention which was agreed upon at the Conference of last year.

It having been then decided that the draft proposed as the basis of the International Copyright Union should not be altered, Her Majesty's Government have passed an Act amending the British International Copyright Acts in such a manner as to correspond. with the draft, and to enable Her Majesty's Government to enter the Union.

A copy of this Act is inclosed.*

Two proposals have, however, since been received for additions to, or changes in, the bases laid down in 1885.

1. A proposal by the French Government for an Additional Declaration.

2. A proposal by the Swiss Government to insert certain words into the text of Article 7. Notes from the Swiss Government containing these proposals are inclosed for your information.t In regard to the first, Her Majesty's Government, although they would have preferred that no additions of any kind should be made to the draft Convention, do not see any objection to the terms of the Declaration, save that it would be desirable to obtain some explanation of the exact meaning attached to the first part of Article 3; and that Article 4 will require qualification to make it come within the scope of existing English law, by which the publication of an unauthorized dramatic version of a novel is prohibited, but not its representation on the stage.

You will therefore endeavour to obtain the modification of this Article in the sense that it shall be understood to apply only so far as the domestic law of each State will permit.

To the proposal of the Swiss Government Her Majesty's Government have no objection to offer, considering it to be merely an explanation of the present text.

Subject to these observations you are authorized to sign on behalf of Great Britain.

Gentlemen,

The Earl of Iddesleigh to Sir Francis Adams and Mr. Bergne.

Foreign Office, August 21, 1886.

You will, accordingly, at the time of signature, make a Declaration to the effect that the accession of Great Britain to the Union comprises all the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Majesty, but that liberty is reserved by Her Majesty's Government to notify at any period the separate withdrawal from the Union of the following British possessions, in the manner prescribed by Article XX of the Convention:-

India.

The Dominion of Canada. Newfoundland.

The Cape.

Natal.

New South Wales.

IDDESLEIGH.

My Lord,

· Sir F. Adams and Mr. Bergne to the Earl of Iddesleigh.-(Received September 13.)

Berne, September 10, 1886. WE have the honour to report that the Third International Copyright Conference met at Berne on the 6th instant, the following States being represented :-

Germany. Belgium.

Spain.

United States. France.

Great Britain.

Haiti. Italy.

Japan.

Liberia.

Switzerland. Tunis.

The Delegates of all these States, save those of the United States and Japan, had received Full Powers from their Governments to sign the Convention, and the signature accordingly took place on the 9th instant.

No Delegates from Sweden and Norway were present, but the President read a note which he had received from the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the effect that those Governments expected to be able to adhere to the Convention before the date fixed for the exchange of ratifications.

The British signed copies of the Convention, Additional Article, "Protocole de Cloture," and proces-verbal of signature are inclosed in this despatch, together with printed copies of the records of the present Conference.*

In view of the instructions contained in Lord Rosebery's despatch of the 2nd ultimo, we proposed at the first sitting that the next meeting of the Conference should take place ten years after the date of signature, 'unless four Signatory Powers should collectively demand an earlier meeting; and we accepted an addition to this proposal submitted by the German Delegate, to the effect that such a demand must not be made at an earlier date than four years after the signature.

The English and German proposals were combated by the Delegates of France and Tunis, who were of opinion that an earlier meeting might prove desirable.

}

In view of these conflicting opinions, a suggestion was made by the President, M. Droz, by way of compromise, to the effect that the next Conference should take place from four to six years after the date at which the Convention should come into actual operation; and, as an interval of from about five to seven years from the date of signature would thus be secured, we had no difficulty in accepting this proposal, which was eventually adopted unanimously. At the suggestion of the British Delegates, seconded by the German Delegate, Paris was selected as the next place of meeting, and it was arranged that the actual date, within the limits agreed upon, should be fixed by the French Government, in consultation with the central Swiss Office.

　　The amendment to Article VII, which had been proposed by the Swiss Government, did not give rise to much discussion, it being recognized that it did not alter the sense of the Article as drafted last year; and the insertion was accordingly accepted by a unanimous vote, save the German Delegate, whose Government was not favourable to the slightest amendment of the draft agreed upon last year.

The Declaration which had been proposed by the French Government gave rise to some debate, the Italian and German Delegates giving reasons against its adoption, especially in regard to paragraph 4.

　　We confined ourselves to a statement of the position of English law on the question of the drama- tization of novels, and added that though, as agreed upon last year, we should prefer that no amend-

* The records are not reprinted with the present Paper.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1887. 115

ment to the draft Convention should be made, we were authorized by our Government to accept the Declaration, subject to such modification of the last paragraph as would suffice to meet the require- ments of English law.

　　The French Delegates eventually withdrew their proposal entirely, and the Convention as signed is consequently identical with last year's draft, except the insertion of the few words of a purely formal character proposed by the Swiss Government in Article VII.

　　An important feature of the Conference, especially from an English point of view, was the presence of the United States' Delegate, who made a Declaration, which will be found at page 18 of the Records,* expressing the sympathy of his Government for the substance and objects of the Convention, and their hope that they might find themselves in a position to adhere to it at an early date.

　　We venture to call your Lordship's particular attention to this Declaration as giving promise that the important literary and artistic interests of Great Britain in the United States may before long be afforded adequate protection.

　　The Declaration respecting the British Colonies which we made in accordance with the instructions contained in your Lordship's despatch of the 22nd ultimo, will be found in the Proces-verbal of Signature.?

　　The only suggestions which it appears necessary for us to submit to your Lordship's consideration are as regards the course to be pursued by Her Majesty's Government with reference to the existing Copyright Conventions between Great Britain and foreign States.

The following Conventions are at present in operation:-

1. Prussia, 13th May, 1846.

2. Saxony, 24th August, 1846. 3. Brunswick, 30th March, 1847.

4. Thuringian Union, 1st July, 1847.

5. Hanover, 4th August, 1847.

6. Oldenburg, 28th December, 1847. 7. France, 3rd November, 1851.

8. Anhalt, 8th February, 1853.

9. Hamburg, 16th August, 1853.

10. Belgium, 12th August, 1854.

11. Prussia and other German States, 14th June, 1855.

12. Sardinia (applicable to Italy), 30th November, 1860.

13. Hesse, 19th November, 1861.

14. Spain, 11th August, 1880.

15. Germany, 2nd June, 1886.

The last Convention on this list, for practical purposes, brings the whole of the German Empire within the terms of the Conventions with Prussia of the 13th May, 1846, and the 14th June, 1855.

　　Therefore, Great Britain has Copyright Conventions only with Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and Spain, all of which States have now signed the International Copyright Convention.

‧ The Convention with Italy has been denounced by that Government, but stands prolonged until the 31st December next. The Conventions with the German States, France, and Belgium, can be terminated at a year's notice, and that with Spain by a notice of six months.

The International Convention just signed is to be ratified within the delay of one year, and is to come into operation three months after the exchange of ratifications.

When it has once come into operation, it seems that the stipulations of the now existing Conven- tions between Great Britain and foreign States will become unnecessary, and perhaps embarrassing; and we would therefore venture to suggest that three months after the signature of the International Convention, viz., on the 9th December next, notice of termination of the existing Copyright Conventions should be given to Germany, France, and Belgium; that the Convention with Italy should be further prolonged till the International Convention comes into operation; and that notice should be given to Spain on the 9th June next of the termination of the Copyright Convention of the 11th August, 1880. By these means, the whole of the existing Conventions would be kept in force for certain till the International Convention comes into operation, and would terminate, at all events, shortly after that date.

We believe that the International Copyright Union, which may now be said to be founded, will not only efficiently replace the existing Conventions, but will confer upon British owners of literary and artistic property far more extensive and satisfactory protection than is now enjoyed by them abroad; and we entertain strong hopes that, before the expiration of many years, the Union will comprise all the principal States of the world which have any practical interest in the matter.

We have, &c.

ARTICLE II.

Authors of any of the countries of the Union, or their lawful representatives, shall enjoy in the other countries for their works, whether published in one of those countries or unpublished, the rights which the respective laws do now or may hereafter grant to natives.

The enjoyment of these rights is subject to the accomplishment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by law in the country of origin of the work, and cannot exceed in the other countries the term of protection granted in the said country of origin.

The country of origin of the work is that in which the work is first published, or if such publication takes place simultaneously in several countries of the Union, that one of them in which the shortest term of protection is granted by law.

‧

117

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1887.

　　For unpublished works the country to which the author belongs is considered the country of origin of the work.

ARTICLE III.

　　The stipulations of the present Convention apply equally to the publishers of literary and artistic works published in one of the countries of the Union, but of which the authors belong to a country which is not a party to the Union.

ARTICLE IV.

The expression "literary and artistic works" comprehends books, pamphlets, and all other writings; dramatic or dramatico-musical works, musical compositions with or without words; works of design, painting, sculpture, and engraving; lithographs, illustrations, geographical charts; plans, sketches, and plastic works relative to geography, topography, architecture, or science in general; in fact, every production whatsoever in the literary, scientific, or artistic domain which can be published by any mode of impression or reproduction.

ARTICLE V.

Authors of any of the countries of the Union, or their lawful representatives, shall enjoy in the other countries the exclusive right of making or authorizing the translation of their works until the expiration of ten years from the publication of the original work in one of the countries of the Union. For works published in incomplete parts ("livraisons") the period of ten years commences from the date of publication of the last part of the original work.

　　For works composed of several volumes published at intervals, as well as for bulletins or collections ("cahiers") published by literary or scientific Societies, or by private persons, each volume, bulletin, or collection is, with regard to the period of ten years, considered as a separate work.

　　In the cases provided for by the present Article, and for the calculation of the period of protection the 31st December of the year in which the work was published is admitted as the date of publication.

ARTICLE VI.

Authorized translations are protected as original works. They consequently enjoy the protection stipulated in Articles II and III as regards their unauthorized reproduction in the countries of the Union. It is understood that, in the case of a work for which the translating right has fallen into the public domain, the translator cannot oppose the translation of the same work by other writers.

ARTICLE VII.

　　Articles from newspapers or periodicals published in any of the countries of the Union may be reproduced in original or in translation in the other countries of the Union, unless the authors or publishers have expressly forbidden it. For periodicals it is sufficient if the prohibition is made in a general manner at the beginning of each number of the periodical.

　　This prohibition cannot in any case apply to articles of political discussion, or to the reproduction of news of the day or current topics.

ARTICLE VIII.

　　As regard the liberty of extracting portions from literary or artistic works for use in publications destined for educational or scientific purposes, or for chrestomathies, the matter is to be decided by the legislation of the different countries of the Union, or by special arrangements existing or to be concluded between them.

ARTICLE IX.

　　The stipulations of Article II apply to the public representation of dramatic or dramatico-musical works, whether such works be published or not.

　　Authors of dramatic or dramatico-musical works or their lawful representatives, are, during the existence of their exclusive right of translation, equally protected against the unauthorized public representation of translations of their works.

　　The stipulations of Article II apply equally to the public performance of unpublished musical works, or of published works in which the author has expressly declared on the title-page or commencement of the work that he forbids the public performance.

ARTICLE X.

　　Unauthorized indirect appropriations of a literary or artistic work, of various kinds, such as adaptations, arrangements of music, &c., are specially included amongst the illicit reproductions to which the present Convention applies, when they are only the reproduction of a particular work, in the same form, or in another form, with non-essential alterations, additions, or abridgments, so made as not to confer the character of a new original work.

　　It is agreed that, in the application of the present Article, the Tribunals of the various countries of the Union will, if there is occasion, conform themselves to the provisions of their respective laws.

118 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1887.

ARTICLE XI.

　　In order that the authors of works protected by the present Convention shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be considered as such, and be consequently admitted to institute proceedings against pirates before the Courts of the various countries of the Union, it will be sufficient that their name be indicated on the work in the accustomed manner.

　　For anonymous or pseudonymous works, the publisher whose name is indicated on the work is entitled to protect the rights belonging to the author. He is, without other proof, reputed the lawful representative of the anonymous or pseudonymous author.

　　It is, nevertheless, agreed that the Tribunals may, if necessary, require the production of a certificate from the competent authority to the effect that the formalities prescribed by law in the country of origin have been accomplished, as contemplated in Article II.

ARTICLE XII.

　　Pirated works may be seized on importation into those countries of the Union where the original work enjoys legal protection.

The seizure shall take place conformably to the domestic law of each State.

ARTICLE XIII.

　　It is understood that the provisions of the present Convention cannot in any way derogate from the right belonging to the Government of each country of the Union to permit, to control, or to prohibit, by measures of domestic legislation or police, the circulation, representation, or exhibition of any works or productions in regard to which the competent authority may find it necessary to exercise that right.

ARTICLE XIV.

Under the reserves and conditions to be determined by common agreement, the present Convention applies to all works which at the moment of its coming into force have not yet fallen into the public domain in the country of origin.

ARTICLE XV.

　　　It is understood that the Governments of the countries of the Union reserve to themselves respectively the right to enter into separate and particular arrangements between each other, provided always that such arrangements confer upon authors or their lawful representatives more extended rights than those granted by the Union, or embody other stipulations not contrary to the present Convention.

ARTICLE XVI.

An international office is established, under the name of "Office of the International Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works."

This Office, of which the expenses will be borne by the Administrations of all the countries of the Union, is placed under the high authority of the Superior Administration of the Swiss Confederation, and works under its direction. The functions of this Office are determined by common accord between the countries of the Union.

ARTICLE XVII.

　　The present Convention may be submitted to revision in order to introduce therein amendments calculated to perfect the system of the Union.

　　Questions of this kind, as well as those which are of interest to the Union in other respects, will be considered in Conferences to be held successively in the countries of the Union by Delegates of the said countries.

It is understood that no alteration in the present Convention shall be binding on the Union except by the unanimous consent of the countries composing it.

ARTICLE XVIII.

　　Countries which have not become parties to the present Convention, and which grant by their domestic law the protection of rights secured by this Convention, shall be admitted to accede thereto on request to that effect.

Such accession shall be notified in writing to the Government of the Swiss Confederation, who will communicate it to all the other countries of the Union.

　　Such accession shall imply full adhesion to all the clauses and admission to all the advantages provided by the present Convention.

ARTICLE XIX.

Countries acceding to the present Convention shall also have the right to accede thereto at any time for their Colonies or foreign possessions.

* Sce paragraph 4 of Final Protocol, p. 21.

‧

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1887. 119

　　They may do this either by a general declaration comprehending all their Colonies or possessions within the accession, or by specially naming those comprised therein, or by simply indicating those which are excluded.

ARTICLE XX.

The present Convention shall be put in force three months after the exchange of the ratifications, and shall remain in effect for an indefinite period until the termination of a year from the day on which it may have been denounced.

　　Such denunciation shall be made to the Government authorized to receive accessions, and shall only be effective as regards the country making it, the Convention remaining in full force and effect for the other countries of the Union.

ARTICLE XXI.

The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Berne, within the space of one year at the latest.

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

Inclosure 3 in No. 13. (Translation.)

Final Protocol.

IN proceeding to the signature of the Convention concluded this day, the undersigned Pleni- potentiaries have declared and stipulated as follows:

1. As regards Article IV, it is agreed that those countries of the Union where the character of artistic works is not refused to photographs, engage to admit them to the benefits of the Convention concluded to-day, from the date of its coming into effect. They are, however, not bound to protect the authors of such works further than is permitted by their own legislation, except in the case of international engagements already existing, or which may hereafter be entered into by them.

It is understood that an authorized photograph of a protected work of art shall enjoy legal protec-. tion in all the countries of the Union, as contemplated by the said Convention, for the same period as the principal right of reproduction of the work itself subsists, and within the limits of private arrange- ments between those who have legal rights.

　　　2. As regards Article IX, it is agreed that those countries of the Union whose legislation implicitly includes choregraphic works amongst dramatico-musical works, expressly admit the former works to the benefits of the Convention concluded this day.

It is, however, understood that questions which may arise on the application of this clause shall rest within the competence of the respective Tribunals to decide.

3. It is understood that the manufatture and sale of instruments for the mechanical reproduction of musical airs which are copyright, shall not be considered as constituting an infringement of musical copyright.

4. The common agreement alluded to in Article XIV of the Convention is established as follows: The application of the Convention to works which have not fallen into the public domain at the time when it comes into force, shall operate according to the stipulations on this head which may be contained in special Conventions either existing or to be concluded.

In the absence of such stipulations between any countries of the Union, the respective countries shall regulate, each for itself, by its domestic legislation, the manner in which the principle contained in Article XIV is to be applied.

　　　5. The organization of the International Office established in virtue of Article XVI of the Con- vention shall be fixed by a Regulation which shall be drawn up by the Government of the Swiss Confederation.

The official language of the International Office will be French.

The International Office will collect all kinds of information relative to the protection of the rights of authors over their literary and artistic works. It will arrange and publish such information. It will study questions of general utility likely to be of interest to the Union, and, by the aid of documents placed at its disposal by the different Administrations, will edit a periodical publication in the French language treating questions which concern the Union. The Governments of the countries of the Union reserve to themselves the faculty of authorising, by common accord, the publication by the Office of an edition in one or more other languages if experience should show this to be requisite.

　　　The International Office will always hold itself at the disposal of members of the Union, with the view to furnish them with any special information they may require relative to the protection of literary and artistic works.

　　　The Administration of the country where a Conference is about to be held, will prepare the programme of the Conference with the assistance of the International Office.

　　　The Director of the International Office will attend the sittings of the Conferences, and will take part in the discussions without a deliberative voice. He will make an annual Report on his adminis- tration, which shall be communicated to all the members of the Union.

　　　The expenses of the Office of the International Union shall be shared by the Contracting States. Unless a fresh arrangement be made, they cannot exceed a sum of 60,000 fr. a-year. This sum may be increased by the decision of one of the Conferences provided for in Article XVII.

　　　The share of the total expense to be paid by each country shall be determined by the division of the Contracting and acceding States into six classes, each of which shall contribute in the proportion of a certain number of units, viz.:-

...

First Class.. Second Third 99 Fourth Fifth Sixth

11 ....

25 units.

.20

.15

.10

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1887. 121

　　　These coefficients will be multiplied by the number of States of each class, and the total product thus obtained will give the number of units by which the total expense is to be divided. The quotient will give the amount of the unity of expense.

　　　Each State will declare, at the time of its accession, in which of the said classes it desires to be placed.

　　　The Swiss Administration will prepare the Budget of the Office, superintend its expenditure, make the necessary advances, and draw up the annual account, which shall be communicated to all the other Administrations.

　　　6. The next Conference shall be held at Paris between four and six years from the date of the coming into force of the Convention:

　　　The French Government will fix the date within these limits after having consulted the International Office.

　　　7. It is agreed that, as regards the exchange of ratifications contemplated in Article XXI, each Contracting Party shall give a single instrument, which shall be deposited, with those of the other States, in the Government archives of the Swiss Confederation. Each party shall receive in exchange a copy of the proces-verbal of the exchange of ratifications, signed by the Plenipotentiaries present.

The present Final Protocol, which shall be ratified with the Convention concluded this day, shall be considered as forming an integral part of the said Convention, and shall have the same force, effect, and duration.

In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same. Done at Berne, the 9th day of September, 1886.

　　2. With respect to the classification of the countries of the Union having regard to their contri- butory part to the expenses of the International Bureau (No. 5 of the final Protocol):

The Plenipotentiaries declare that their respective countries should be ranked in the following classes, namely:-

He therefore reserves that question to be determined by his Government, who will make known their intention on the exchange of ratifications.

In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present proces-verbal. Done at Berne the 9th day of September, 1886.

Inclosure 5 in No. 13.

(Translation.)

Extract from the Proces-verbal at the Sitting of the 6th September, 1886.

Mr. President and Delegates,

THROUGH a Circular note of the Swiss Federal Council, the Government of the United States has been invited, in concert with the other Powers represented in the Copyright Conference held here in September 1885, to instruct and empower a Delegate to attend this Conference, and to sign, on behalf of the United States, the International Convention for the general protection of literary and artistic property, which was drafted ad referendum by the Conference of last year.

　The Government of the United States again finds it impracticable to depute a Plenipotentiary Delegate, and is constrained to withhold its formal participation as a Signatory in the International Convention, which resulted from the deliberations of 1885, and thus transform that Convention into a full diplomatic engagement. To exhibit its benevolence, however, towards the principle involved, the Government of the United States desires, with the pleasure of this Conference, to be represented here, and has conferred upon me the honour to attend this Conference as a Delegate, provided that my attendance is fully recognized and admitted to be without Plenipotentiary powers, but under the limitation and reservation that the United States not being a party to the proposed Convention, reserves their privilege of future accession under provisions of Article XVIII thereof, which declares that "Countries which have not joined in the present Convention, and which by their municipal laws assure legal protection to the rights whereof this Convention treats, shall be admitted to accede thereto on their request to that effect."

123

Whilst not prepared to join in the proposed Convention as a full Signatory, the United States does not thereby wish to be understood as opposing the measure in any way, but on the contrary, desires to reserve without prejudice the privilege of future accession to the Convention; should it become expedient and practicable to do so. Should any question exist that the representation of the United States in this Conference, even under specific and recognized limitation, is such a participation as would suffice to exclude them from the category of the "countries that have not joined" in that instrument, and thereby to exclude them also from the privilege of future accession, should they desire to avail themselves of it, I desire to emphasize the fact, that the course of the United States is in nowise intended or to be construed as a participation in the result either by acceptance or rejection. The position and attitude of the United States is one of expectancy and reserve.

The Constitution of the United States enumerates among the powers especially reserved to Congress, that "to promote the progress of science and the useful arts by securing for limited terms to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries," which implies that the origination and limitation of measures to those ends rests with the Legislative rather than the Treaty-making Power. Copyright like patents is on the same footing of regulation by Federal legislation, and the Executive branch of the Government cannot be unmindful of the continued pen- dency of its consideration by the Legislative Department, or disregard the Constitutional right of that Department to conclude International Treaties on this important subject.

　　　The question of international copyright is one of great interest to the United States. In fact, few other countries can lay claim to greater concern than that naturally felt by a people distinguished for enlightened, extensive and growing intellectual life, and whilst not infringing upon the constitutional prerogative of Congress to initiate and conclude copyright legislation, likewise to define the rights of aliens and citizens within its jurisdiction, the Executive in its first annual Message to Congress, inviting its attention to the Conference of last September, said: "Action is certainly desirable to effect the object in view;" and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in his official despatches relating to this Conference, freely expresses his concurrence with the principle sought to be enunciated by the proposed Convention, and conveys the hope that the time is not distant when the rights of property in the creation of the mind may be universally secured under conditions favourable alike to the author and to the world's right to share in the diffusion of ideas.

The brain that creates is entitled to and should receive its just and full compensation; this is a sentiment having its origin in the natural sense of honesty. Literary property has been to some extent recognized in all ages, and is to-day guaranteed in. almost every State by domestic legislation. This recognition and guarantee should be without distinction of nationality and without regard to political frontiers.

　　　It is a matter of congratulation and redounds much to the credit of the Swiss Government, through whose active efforts the movement was successfully inaugurated and supplemented by the patient and intelligent labours of the several Conferences held here at her invitation, that a just and permanent settlement once for all of the grave question of the protection of works of literature and art, so long and unjustly denied, is promised by means of a uniform, efficacious, and complete International Convention.

Sir,

No. 14.

The Earl of Iddesleigh to Sir F. Adams.

Foreign Office, September 30, 1886.

I HAVE received your despatch of the 10th instant, signed by yourself and Mr. Bergne, reporting your proceedings as British Delegates to the Third International Copyright Conference which met at Berne on the 6th instant, and in which you inclose the British signed copies of the International Copyright Convention, Additional Article, Final Protocol, and Proces-verbal of Signature, which were signed on the 9th instant.

I have referred that despatch to the Board of Trade, and I have now to acquaint you that the proceedings of the British Delegates, as reported therein, are approved by Her Majesty's Government.

I have to add that I have addressed a similar communication to Mr. Bergne.

I am, &c.

(Signed)

IDDESLEIGH.

FREDERICK Stewart,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL,

HONGKONG, 17th January, 1887.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on this School for 1886.

　　1. The total number of boys on the Roll for the past year was 610. Every endeavour is being made to keep the school as full as possible, with a view to having a large number of fairly educated boys to transfer to the new building. With the same object special attention is devoted to the Upper and Middle Sections of the School, some 270 boys; that there may be a goodly number ready to occupy some of the 330 seats in the Upper Section of the New School.

2. To illustrate the condition of the School during the last five years the following table is ? annexed: -

　　3. The percentage results of the Prize Examination in English are in Classes IV, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI considerably above the average; the intelligence and special neatness of work in these classes is also a noticeable feature. The results in Classes V and VI in the important subjects of English Grammar and Arithmetic are appalling, both classes failing utterly to evince the least intelli- gent acquaintance, with the work supposed to have been taught in the year. In the Upper School, the fact that the school is in a transitional state is inade very apparent by the good results obtained in Class II, and the senior division of Class I, as compared with the poor results in Class III and the junior division of Class I, for on these naturally fell the greater strain in the severer test applied. The total result of the Examination of the School is 94.81 per cent. passed, which is a slightly lower figure than has been attained during the last three years. This is, however, due to the steady, marked, gradual elevation of the standard, year by year with a view to qualifying the scholars for the pursuit of higher studies in the New School; a comparison, based on percentages alone, would therefore convey an erroneous impression, for, with the exception of Classes V and VI, I can conscientiously affirm, that in no year, since my arrival, has the examination given me such unqualified satisfaction, while in- specting the papers.

130 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 5TH FEB., 1887.

　　4. In spite of the numerous cases of Malarial Fever in the Colony, I am happy to be able to report, that the health of the scholars, in the past year, was quite up to the average, which is a matter for congratulation as our boys come from every part of the town from East to West Point.

5. In April last two of our old scholars Messrs. CHAN CHING-KAI and LI TSUN-FAN were brought to the Colony by Dr. MEYERS, Superintendent of the "David Manson" Memorial Hospital, Takow in the island of Formosa; under whose instruction, they had been studying for two years, for the pro- fession of European medicine. They underwent a preliminary examination in Materia Medica, Anatomy, Surgery, &c., by a Board composed of Representative. Medical Practitioners in the Colony; and received very satisfactory certificates which inscribed on vellum were publicly presented by His Excellency in the Hall of this School.

　　6. Our Senior Pupil Teacher, Mr. Lo KIT, was a candidate for the Government Scholarship; which was not awarded this year as neither candidate obtained the necessary number of marks. I take, however, this opportunity of recording my sense of the great benefits Lo KIT has derived from the course of study; as, too often, the acquirement of the scholarship and the residence in England are the only results that competitors appreciate; whereas, it is not too much to say, that by far the greatest benefits, derived from the establishment of the Scholarship, will always be enjoyed by the unsuccessful candidates, for their number, if this valuable Scholarship were properly contested, must naturally exceed the few distinguished successful Scholars..

　　7. At the suggestion of Mr. BATEMAN, Head Master of the Hongkong Public School, Hongkong has been made a centre of the Cambridge Local Examination. The first examination was held in December, and though the results cannot be here before May, and I have no reason to be sanguine of their nature, I can already see the benefit of the extra study on our six candidates; five of whom entered for the Junior, and the other for the Senior Examination. It is also worthy of note, as a sign of the interest taken by Chinese parents in their sons' education, that, in no case, was any demur made about paying the seven dollars Entrance Fee.

8. This year, I have instituted a Boys' Self-Supporting Lending Library. Money was advanced to procure books from England. A varied selection of Books for Boys, Novels, Works of History Travel and Biography was made; a committee of the six senior boys was formed to control the Library, which was opened about the middle of October. The subscription was put at ten cents a month, and we have had an average of no less than 74 boys, mostly Chinese, subscribers monthly. We may expect great results in English Composition and in the acquirement of Colloquial English, when our boys find pleasure, in reading English Standard Authors, and in making acquaintance with the customs and conversation of every day English life, as represented in our leading novels.

　　9. Six pupil teachers have been articled for a period of three years, with a security of one hun- dred dollars each, to provide the six additional Chinese Assistants that will be required in the New School.

　　10. It was with considerable joy that all masters, boys, and friends of the School read His Excellency's statement at the opening of the Session of the Legislative Council, that the New School would be opened early in 1888. Two-thirds of the walls are already raised, and it is most earnestly to be desired, that no stone should be left unturned to admit of the new building being occupied after Chinese New Year, at the end of February, or early in March, next year. By this means the change would take place at the time of our annual promotions, and a better chance would be afforded for obtaining a full school; besides, the important consideration, of a complete year's study in the new subjects, would be secured.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

To The Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D.,

The Pilots and Captains of River Steamers report that the channel N.E. of Lintin Island is shoaling. A Signal Station is on Chuenpee Point. With reference to Station Hydrographic Memo. No. 43 of 5th February, 1884, there is no passage for Ships through the bridge across Collinson Reach (Remark Books H.M.S. Espoir).

FORTY-THIRD

REPORT OF THE OURT OF DIRECTORS

TO THE

ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING

SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD

AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG, On Saturday, the 26th February, 1887,

AT NOON.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 31st December last.

The net profits, including amount carried forward amount to $882,148.87, after paying charges and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, excepting those referred to below. This result the Directors believe will be regarded as satisfactory, considering the difficulties under which the Bank's business has been carried on, owing to the violent fluctua- tions in Silver which have characterized the period under review.

It is with much regret that the Directors have to recommend the transfer of $500,000 to Contingent Account to provide for doubtful outstandings at one Agency of the Bank. Of this amount the Directors look upon $350,000 as bad, and although they hope to recover the balance either in whole or in part, they do not feel justified in considering it as a good asset. To make this provision, the Directors propose that $300,000 be taken from Profit and Loss Account, and $200,000 from Reserve for equali- zation of Dividends.

After making these Transfers and deducting remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $572,148.87, out of which the Directors recommend a Dividend of One Pound and Ten Shillings Sterling per Share, which will absorb $400,000.

The difference of Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared and 33 the current rate of the day amounts to $146,835.44.

The balance $25,313.43 to be brought forward to credit of New Profit and Loss Account.

DIRECTORS.

Messrs. DALRYMPLE, HUNTINGTON, and the Honourable A. P. MCEWEN retire in rotation, and being eligible for re-election offer themselves accordingly.

The Directors have invited Mr. W. H. F. DARBY to fill a vacant seat on the Board, and the Honourable WM. KESWICK having resigned, his place has been supplied by the Honourable J. BELL-IRVING. Both these appointments require the confirmation of the Shareholders.

Mr. M. GROTE has been appointed Chairman for 1887, and Mr. C. D. BOTTOMLEY Vice- Chairman.

AUDITORS.

The accounts have been audited by the Hon. PHINEAS RYRIE and Mr. FULLARTON HEN- DERSON.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

C.S.O. 404 of 1887.

W. H. MARSH.

The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $1,800 for the employment of six foremen of Street cleansing.

The Secretary to the Sanitary Board reports that on the 5th November last authority was requested from the Government to employ 6 men as foremen of Street cleansing. This authority was granted till the end of December, and a report on the result of their employment requested. On the 28th December authority was requested to continue the services of the men for the month of January, before the end of which month the report asked for by His Excellency the Acting Governor would be submitted. The authority asked for was granted.

During the six weeks the men were employed in November and December last a very marked improvement was observable in the manner in which the work of surface cleansing was carried out.

The Sanitary Board, at a meeting held on the 11th instant, unanimously resolved that a letter should be addressed to the Government recommending the permanent employment of the six foremen of Street cleansing who were engaged temporarily in November last year.

The subject will be reconsidered, when the new Sanitary Ordinance has passed; and a vote is now asked to pay the salaries of these men up to the end of the present year.

The Minutes of a Meeting held on the 29th January, 1887, were read and confirmed.

2. The result of the experiment made last year of employing six coloured or Portuguese foremen to supervise street cleansing in the different districts of the city having been discussed,-in view of the improvement in street cleansing that had resulted from increased supervision,-it was resolved, that a letter be addressed to the Government recommending the permanent employment of the six foremen who were engaged, in November last, temporarily.

　　3. Two letters (Nos. 104 and 2) from the Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary with enclosures, having reference to the mortality in the French and Italian Convents, birth and death registration and the disease known as Trismus Nascentium, were laid on the table.

886

4. A letter (No. 2172), from the Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary with enclosures, on the subject of the over-crowding which exists in the city, more especially in coolie lodging houses, was considered. On the motion of Mr. EDE seconded by Dr. MANSON, it was resolved, that a letter be addressed to the Government submitting that, in the opinion of the Sanitary Board, it is very important that steps be taken at once to abate the over-crowding which exists in coolie lodging houses, and recommending that such houses should be registered, licensed and regulated, and that if the Govern- ment is of the opinion that the law as it now stands will not permit of this being done, the Board advises the passing of a short Ordinance giving the necessary powers pending the enactment of the new Public Health Bill.

　　5. A discussion took place regarding proposed Sanitary Works during the current year. It was agreed that the question should stand over for consideration until the map in course of preparation showing the drainage system of the city had been completed.

　　6. Resolved,--that a map showing the sections into which the city has been divided for the purpose of street cleansing be transmitted to the Captain Superintendent of Police, and that he be invited to direct the Police to report any neglect they may observe in the work of street cleansing.

　　7. A Return of the summonses applied for by the Inspectors of Nuisances during the week ending the 5th February, 1887, was laid on the table by the Secretary. The Return showed that 28 prose- cutions had been instituted, that in each case a conviction had been obtained and that fines had been inflicted to the amount of $36.

The Board then adjourned till Noon on Friday, the 25th February, 1887.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a' practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.---No. 87.

The following Annual Weather Report of the Director of the Observatory, for 1886, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 5th March, 1887.

ANNUAL WEATHER REPORT FOR 1886.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

At the end of January the NE monsoon increased and blew with the force of a whole gale in the China Sea as far south as +8° latitude, at the same time it blew a gale along the southern coast of China and the barometer feil since the 30th of that month. On the night between the 3rd and the 4th of February it blew a whole gale in Hongkong. In March the height of the NE monsoon seems to have been unusually small. The direction of the wind at Victoria Peak was more different from its direction at sea level than is usual during this month, the direction, of course, veering with increasing height, and the lower level of the clouds was nearly every day below 2000 feet. Fog prevailed, the clouds frequently sinking to sea level. At the same time the temperature fell less than half the usual amount with increasing elevation in the air. This may perhaps throw some light on the fact that explorers in certain tropical regions have attributed so very small dimensions to the NE monsoon.

The amount of rain during the summer fell short of the usual quantity during every month except July, when the excess was due to the heavy thunderstorms on the 15th. This is very striking on comparing the monthly rainfall at Stone Cutters' Island with the mean of nine years' rainfall (1878- 1886 incl.):-

At the Observatory the cisterns of the barograph and the standard barometer are placed 110 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the thermometers are 109 feet above Mean Sea Level and 4 feet above the ground except the terrestrial radiation thermometer, which is about one inch above the ground. The rim of the pluviograph, which is 114 inches in diameter, is placed 106 feet above Mean Sea Level and 21 inches above the ground. The cups of the anemograph are 150 feet above Mean Sea Level and 45 feet above the ground.

　　　At Victoria Peak the instruments, except the radiation thermometers and the rain-gauge, are placed in the look-out. The cistern of the barometer is 1816 feet above Mean Sea Level. The bulbs of the thermometers are about 4 feet above the floor, except the maximum thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The radiation thermometers are placed at the same height above the ground as at the Obser- vatory. The rim of the rain-gauge is 8 inches in diameter and is one foot above the ground.

At Stone Cutters' Island the rim of the rain-gauge is 8 inches in diameter and is placed 2 feet 4 inches above the ground and about 15 feet above Sea Level.

The Monthly Weather Reports are arranged as follows:-

Table I exhibits the hourly readings of the barometer reduced to 32°.0 Fahrenheit, but not to sea level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the barograms.

210 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 5TH MAR., 1887.

　　Table II exhibits the hourly readings of the temperature of the air round the Observatory as determined by aid of the rotating dry bulb thermometer and the thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the extreme temperatures during the day.

　　Table III exhibits the hourly readings of the temperature of evaporation round the observatory as determined by aid of the rotating damp bulb thermometer and the thermograms (at two minutes past the hour named), and also the solar radiation maximum (black bulb) and terrestrial radiation (grass- minimum) temperatures, read at 10 p. and entered for the same day.

The thermometers are rotated round a nearly horizontal axis (which is kept about 4 feet above the ground) the observer generally walking along facing the wind, so that the bulbs describe screws small pitch. The diameter of the screw described by the damp is larger than that described by the dry bulb. These observations are generally made every hour during the day and as often as possible during the night.

Table IV exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation (the humility of air saturated with moisture being 100) and mean tension of aqueous vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury, for every hour in the day and for every day in the month, calculated by aid of Blanford's tables from the data exhibited in Tables II and III.

　　Table V exhibits the duration of sun-shine expressed in hours as registered by aid of the sun-shine recorder from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour (true time) named.

Table VI exhibits the amount of rain expressed in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named.

Table VII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the velocity of the wind and its direction in numbers (8=E, 16-S, 24-W, 32 =N) as measured from the anemograms. The velocity is the number of miles traversed by the wind, from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. The direction is read off at the hour, except when the wind is very light and changeable, when the average direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the velocity from different quarters. The direction is not noted when the velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour.

Table VIII exhibits, for every hour in the day, the mean velocity of the wind reduced to 4 and also to 2 directions, as well as the mean direction of the wind:----

The number of miles traversed by winds from directions 31, 32 and 1 and half the number of miles from 30 and 2 are termed (N). The number of miles from 3, 4 and 5 and half the number of miles from 2 and 6 are termed (NE), etc. We have then :

N=(N)+(NE) cos 45° + (NW) cos 45°. E=(E)+(NE) cos 45° + (SE) cos 45°.

which are the components exhibited in this table.

etc

Table IX exhibits the direction (to two points) and force (9-12) of the wind at Victoria Peak, and sea disturbance (0-9) at Cape d'Aguilar.

Table X exhibits the readings of the barometer reduced to 32°.0 Fahrenheit, but not to sea level, and of the thermometers at Victoria Peak.

Table XI exhibits the relative humidity and tension of vapour at 10 a., 4 p. and 10 p. daily at the Observatory and at Victoria Peak.

Table XII exhibits the amount (0-10), name and direction whence coming, of the clouds. Where the names of upper and lower clouds are given, but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds. 'Table XIII exhibits the amount of rain measured at 10 a. and entered to preceding day at different stations and the duration of precipitation at the Observatory.

The following Annual Report is arranged as follows:--

Table I exhibits the mean height of the barometer at the Observatory and at the Peak expressed in inches, the latter being the mean of the 10 a., 4 p. and 10 p. observations, and the excess of the hourly values at the Observatory above the mean.

The mean diurnal range in the different months came out as follows: January, 0.111, February, 0.118, March, 0.094, April, 0.087, May, 0.086, June, 0.069, July, 0.067, August, 0.073, September, 0.082. October, 0.091, November, 0.112, December, 0.110. The average range was 0.092 or 0.004 larger than in the two previous years. The mean tension of aqueous vapour was smaller this year than during the previous years, and both these circumstances were no doubt due to the scarcity of rain. The height of the rock on which the look-out at Victoria Peak is placed has been calculated from the mean of the barometric observations made in 1886 to be 1812 feet, and from the mean of all those made during the past three years to be 1813 feet, adopting for the first year the temperatures observed in Stevenson's screen reduced to the true air-temperature, which were as follows: January, 1884, 61°.5, February, 56°.7, March. 61°.5, April, 66°.5, May, 73°.4, June, 78°.7, July, 81°.5, August, 81°.3,, September, 800.4, October, 76°.6, November, 67°.2, December, 59°.9. Year, 1884, 70°.4.

Table II exhibits the mean temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at the Observatory and at the Peak, the latter being the mean of the 10 a., 10 p., maximum and minimum temperatures, and the excess of the hourly values at the Observatory above the mean. The hottest part of the day is between 1 P. and

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 5TH MAR., 1887. 211

p. and the coldest about 6 a.. but the lowest temperature occurs a little earlier in summer than in winter. When the wind calms down after sunset the existence of a secondary maximum of temperature may occasionally be traced.

　　The daily range of temperature is smaller in summer than in winter both owing to the greater amount of clouds and to the circumstance that the force of the wind is so small during the night in the former season.

From table XVIII it is seen that the mean range was exactly the same at the Observatory as at the Peak.

　　The monthly extremes of temperature are exhibited in Table XVI and XVII. The ranges are about twice as great in winter as in summer.

　　The mean diurnal variability of temperature or the mean of the changes of mean daily temperature from day to day, irrespective of sign, during each month of 1885 was as follows: January, 20.37, February, 20.10, March, 20.32, April, 20.30, May, 1°.44, June, 1°.14, July, 1°.21, August, 1°.25, September, 0°.93, October, 1°.28, November, 2°.18, December, 20.23. Year, 1885, 1°.73.

　　The mean diurnal variability of temperature in 1886 was as follows: January, 1°.85, February, 20.15, March, 2°.86, April, 1°.63, May, 1°.63, June, 1°.59, July, 0°.98, August, 0°.92, September, 0°.81, October, 1°.13, November, 1°.49, December, 1°.64. Year, 1886, 1°.56.

　　It is seen from these figures that the temperature is twice as changeable in winter as in summer. Such absence of abrupt changes of temperature indicates in a temperate or arctic climate circumstances favourable to the health of the inhabitants but according to Dr. BORIUS, the late distinguished climat- ologist, great constancy of temperature during the tropical summer may be considered the reverse of favourable.

　　Table III exhibits the relative humidity in percentage of saturation at the Observatory and at the Peak, the latter being the mean of the 10 a., 4 p. and 10 p. values, and the excess of the hourly values above the mean at the Observatory. The air is farthest from saturation about 1 p. and nearest saturation about midnight. The average relative humidity is registered at 8 a. and 6p. The diurnal variation is greatest during the last month of the year when the air is comparatively dry.

. Table IV exhibits the tension of vapour in inches of mercury at the Observatory and at the Peak, the latter being the mean of observations made at 10 a., 4 p. and 10 p., and the excess of the hourly values above the mean at the Observatory. The daily variation is small along the coast of China especially in summer but during the past year it was much greater than in 1885 and this was no doubt, owing to the scarcity of rain. There was least vapour in the air at about 11 a. and most at 10 p. The monthly ranges in vapour tension (at 10 a., 4 p. and 10 p. only) are exhibited in Tables XVI and XVII. They were twice as great in winter as in summer.

　　Table V exhibits the total number of hours of bright sunshine. The minimum occurred in February and the maximum in November. The duration of sunshine in percentage of possible duration was obtained as explained in last year's report.

　　Table VI exhibits the total hourly rainfall and Table VII, the number of hours during which rain was registered. It rains more often at sunrise than at sunset.

The approximate hourly intensity of the rainfall i.e. the hourly rainfall divided with the number of hours, during portion of which it rained, or heavy dew fell, was calculated from the Means and Totals in Tables VI and VII and shows, that the rain is heaviest shortly after noon and lightest about midnight:-

The true mean hourly intensity was obtained from the data in Table XI and shows, that the rain was heaviest in July and lightest in February and November :-

January, 0.022, February, 0.012, March, 0.036, April, 0.057, May, 0.042, June, 0.073, July, 0.174, August, 0.144, September, 0.136, October, 0.108, November, 0.012, December, 0.033. Year,

0.074.

The rain was much lighter in the past year than in the two previous years, the rainfall being much smaller while its duration was about the same.

　　Table VIII exhibits the velocity of the wind expressed in miles per hour and the excess of the hourly values above the mean at the Observatory. The velocity at the Peak is computed from the force estimated there at 10 a., 4 p. and 10 p. The wind was strongest at both stations in February and lightest in September. The daily variation was explained in last year's report.

　　Table IX exhibits the mean direction of the wind at the Observatory and at the Peak. The excess of the hourly direction at the Observatory above the mean, expressed in degrees, is counted from North through East towards South. The results of the discussion of previous years' observations are confirmed.. The daily variation was greatest in September. The two mean directions have been

212 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 5TH MAR., 1887.

obtained by simply taking the averages of the monthly directions in degrees without regard to force. This is perhaps, everything considered, the best method in this case and the two annual means direc- tions for 1885 in last year's report ought therefore to be altered to E-10° S and E 29° S.

In order to further elucidate the diurnal variation in force and direction of the wind in this region, a subject of great importance to the shipping, the mean directions and forces in 1885 at Victoria Peak and South Cape, Formosa, have been calculated. The observations at the latter station are made carefully by the staff of the lighthouse. The observers stand about 150 feet above sea level, but as they are now and then guided in their estimations by the amount of sail carried by such vessels as happen to pass, the figures may be taken to represent the force of the wind at a lower level.

　　At the height of Victoria Peak the direction of the wind is nearly constant throughout the day. Only a slight tendency to veer during the daytime can perhaps be traced. Above this altitude as remarked in last year's report there is possibly a slight tendency to variation in the opposite direction. The force of the wind is likewise very constant. It seems to be rather stronger at night than in the day time but this cannot be decided as yet with certainty.

　　In Southern Formosa the wind comes from NE without change in winter. This is the mean direction either diurnal or annual from October till March incl. On the contrary the direction appears to be very changeable in summer. With regard to the diurnal variation in the force the result published last year is confirmed. The maximum wind-force appears to be registered about sunrise and the minimum about sunset, but the variation is very small. The diurnal variation in the direction is scarcely perceptible but from the mean of the twelve months it would even appear as if the wind were backing a little during the day time, but the veering of the wind during the day time is very prominent

in summer.

　　Table X exhibits the total distance traversed by, as well as the duration and average velocity of winds from bi-quadrantal points. The velocity is a maximum for E winds but there is slight second- ary maximum for SW winds. The SW monsoon was not so strong as in 1885, which perhaps accounts for the scarcity of rain.

　　Table XI exhibits the rainfall measured at 10 a. and entered to preceding day. Each day on which not less than 0.01 inches was measured, is counted. The rainfall increases quickly with the height at least up to 2000 feet notwithstanding the far greater force of the wind up there. We have no means of observing what takes place at a still higher level but Indian Meteorologists have ascertained that the rain reaches a maximum somewhere about 4000 feet above the level of the sea in India.

　　Table XII exhibits particulars concerning different phenomena. Fog occurred frequently in March. Electric phenomena prevailed in August but the thunderstorms were not so violent as in 1885. Unusual visibility of distant objects was most noticeable in August. Dew was frequent during the early summer. Rainbows were seen oftener than usual owing to the lightness of the rains. Solar halos and coronas were most frequent in August.

Table XIII shows the frequency of clouds of different forms from observations made 8 times a day. The number of days on which clouds were observed to be below 2000 feet was as follows:- January, 12, February, 16, March, 28, April, 25, May, 18, June, 16, July, 22, August, 15, September, 3, October, 5, November, 0, December, 3. The number of days on which they were observed to be below 1000 feet was as follows:-January, 3, February, 10, March, 21, April, 17, May, 7, June, 3, July, 5, August, 0, September, 0, October, 0, November, 0, December, 2.

　　Table XV exhibits the amount (0-9) of sea-disturbance; which is only about half as great in summer as in winter.

Table XVI and XVII exhibit the extremes of some of the meteorological elements.

　　Table XVIII exhibits the mean of the readings of the black bulb maximum thermometers in vacuo and the excess above the mean maximum air-temperatures, the average of the number of degrees by which the minimum air-temperature exceeded that indicated by a minimum thermometer freely exposed with its bulb one inch above the grass, the average weight of the aqueous vapour in the air and the diurnal range of temperature.

　　　During the past year the indications of a bright bulb solar radiation maximum thermometer in vacuo have been registered daily at 10 p. The readings are exhibited below. This thermometer was compared at Kew with the readings of the black bulb in vacuo and with the maximum air-temperature. The results of the comparisons, about 360 in number, were kindly communicated to me by Mr. WHIPPLE, the Director of the Kew Observatory. Compared to the black bulb in vacuo the bright bulb reads possibly a little higher in Hongkong but the results in both places are really alike within the probable error of such observations. At Kew it was compared with the maximum temperature in the thermograph-screen and at Hongkong with the same but corrected by aid of eye-observations of thermometers rotated hourly. At Hongkong the bright-bulb thermometer readings exceed the air- temperature by a larger amount than at Kew owing to the smaller daily range of temperature. In England maximum air-temperature corresponding to a certain mean daily temperature is much greater than within the tropics.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 5TH MAR., 1887. 215

Table XVIII exhibits also the height to which one must ascend in order to have the monthly mean temperature lowered one degree. The figures have been obtained from the data in Table II. Of course the fall of temperature within some ten or twenty feet of the ground is much greater especially on a hot day, but the effect of this is eliminated by observing the temperature at the same height above ground at both the upper and the lower station. The results obtained for each month during the past three years are exhibited below. The results for 1884 have been re-computed by aid of the true air-temperatures given above. It is seen that the height varies from about 200 to about 700 feet, but of course the results in individual instances vary to a somewhat greater extent, and this must often make the true astronomical refraction different from that obtained from the tables. Moreover the temperatures adopted in the construction of the tables may have been very different from the true air-temperatures and when subsequently these tables are used in other places to clear the observations from the effects of refraction, it is very doubtful whether the thermometers are exposed in exactly the same way as where the tables were constructed and even so the process is not strictly accurate if the true air-temperature is not exactly determined. It would therefore be of importance to. have the rotating thermometer introduced in astronomical observatories. This instrument is particularly well adapted for occasionally determining the temperature during the night. No account is taken of the effect of the barometric gradient in the neighbourhood, which tends to make the value of the re- fraction different in different azimuths. The rates at which the temperature falls with increasing height in a cyclone and in an anticyclone are different. For these reasons the refraction is one of the most uncertain elements in practical astronomy.

The speed with which the temperature falls on ascending in the atmosphere is seen to be a function of the humidity. The change is much smaller in damp than in dry weather.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 88.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory on Five-day Means of the Principal Meteorological Elements, for 1886, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 5th March, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FIVE-DAY MEANS OF THE PRINCIPAL METEOROLOGICAL

ELEMENTS FOR 1886.

The following five-day means have been constructed according to the recommendations of the International Meteorological Congress.

Hongkong Observatory: The first column exhibits the height of the barometer in inches reduced to 32° Fahrenheit but not to sea level. The cistern is 110 feet above mean sea level. The means have been derived from the hourly readings..

The second column exhibits the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as derived from the hourly readings.

The third and fourth columns exhibit the relative humidity in percentage of saturation and the vapour tension in inches of mercury as derived from the means of the hourly readings of the dry and damp bulb thermometers

The fifth column exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles per hour derived from the hourly readings.

虞

The sixth column exhibits the percentage of the whole sky, that was covered by clouds, from observations made every three hours.

The seventh column exhibits the average daily number of hours during which the sun shone brightly enough to mark the cards.

The eighth column exhibits the average amount of rain in inches that fell in one day, from mid- night to mid-night as derived from the hourly readings.

　　　Victoria Peak: The first column exhibits the height of the barometer in inches reduced to 32° Fahrenheit but not to sea level as derived from tri-diurnal observations. The cistern is 1816 feet above mean sea level.

The second column exhibits the temperature as derived from observations made at 10 a. and 10. p. The third and fourth columns exhibit the relative humidity and tension of vapour as derived from tri-diurnal observations.

The fifth column exhibits the force of the wind (0-12) as derived from tri-diurnal observations. The sixth column exhibits the average amount of rain in inches, that fell in one day as measured at 10 a. and entered to preceding day.

The five-day means of temperature in 1884, derived from observations made in STEVENSON'S screen at 10 a. and 10 p. and reduced to true air temperature and mean of 24 hours are as follows:- 62.1, 57.2, 62.5, 60.2, 62.7, 64.2, 57.0, 51.0, 55.6, 58.9, 58.2, 60.2, 60.4, 60.0, 61.3, 61.1, 63.9, 63.7, 60.1, 64.0, 65.8, 66.9, 72.0, 69.3, 72.3, 73.9, 69.3, 73.6, 75.4, 75.0, 76.5, 76.0, 78.6, 80.7, 79.3, 81.3, 80.3, 80.9, 82.5, 83.3, 82.2. 80.3, 80.5. 82.1, 82.1, 78.3, 83.1, 81.0, 81.0, 81.8, 79.8, 80.8, 80.9, 78.5, 78.6, 80 0, 80.1, 75.2, 74.7, 73.0, 76.5, 74 6, 70.3, 70.7, 64.8, 58.4, 61.4, 62.4, 59.7, 60.2, 59.5, 59.8, 57.7.

1. Whenever the Registrar General shall have reason to believe that any female child under the age of sixteen years has been purchased and brought into the Colony or that any female child between the ages of six and sixteen years is in the custody or under the control of any person in the Colony with the view of being trained or disposed of as a prostitute either in the Colony or out of the Colony, it shall be lawful for the Registrar General to summon before him such Custodian requiring at the same time the production of the said child, and to make full inquiry into the said matter.

2. If any person who has received such notice shall not appear, and produce the said child, and shall not satis- factorily account for such default he shall be liable on conviction before a Magistrate to a penalty not exceeding five hundred dollars, and in default of payment to be im- prisoned with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding six months.

3. It shall be lawful for the Registrar General by notice. in writing under his hand, to summon before him any person who he believes can give information respecting any such female child, or its treatment by its adopted parents, custodian or employer, and any person disobeying such notice, and not giving satisfactory reason for such default shall be liable on conviction before a Magistrate to a penalty not exceeding two hundred dollars or in default thereof to imprisonment with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding three months.

4. If the said Custodian shall attend, the Registrar General may associate with him two or more Justices of the Peace, or such other persons as may from time to time be designated by the Governor, and he shall thereupon proceed to inquire into the matter, and shall hear and examine upon oath any person capable of giving evidence in such matter. At such inquiry the said Custodian may be assisted by Counsel or Solicitor and such Custodian or any husband or wife of such Custodian shall be a competent but not a compellable witness at every hearing before the said Registrar General or in any subsequent inquiry. If after due inquiry the Registrar General shall be satisfied that any offence against the provisions of Ordinance No. 2 of 1875 has been committed by the said Custodian he shall commit him for trial to the Supreme Court. In such case it may be lawful for the Registrar General to admit the said Custodian to bail and in case of his non-appearance on his trial recognizance of bail may be enforced by the Supreme Court in the usual manner.

FREDERICK STEWART,

"AUDACIOUS" AT HONGKONG, 7th March, 1887.

HYDROGRAPHICAL MEMO., No. 16.

CHINA.

Si Kiang or West River.-Information has been received from H. M. S. Espoir of the existence of three Shoals not marked on the Chart, at the entrance of Si Kiang or West River.

I. A Shoal of 6 ft. at low water springs.

West Point Water Island S. 871° E.

West Point Inside Island N. 19° W.

II. A Shoal of 2 ft. at low water springs, liesmile E. by N. & N. from N.E. point of Ross Island.

III. A Shoal of 9 ft. at low water springs.

N. Point Double Island, N. 88° W.

Morgan Point,

N. 1o E.

The Broadway is generally much shoaler than the Chart shows.

Charts affected Nos. 2562, 2212, and China Sea Directory vol. iii p. 67.

Yatmoun Channel.-The Cordelia Rock mentioned in China Sea Directory vol. iii p. 82 as being in the Yatmoufi Channel, has been searched for without success, and is reported not to exist, by Commander W. Usborne Moore of the Rambler.

Commodore Morant has passed three times through this Channel, in the Glenogle, when nothing was seen of any rock. No rock was found when the Channel was surveyed by Captain Bate, R.N., in 1850.

Since the evidence of its existence is too slight to obtain for it a place on the Chart, the statement in the sailing directions referred to above may be disregarded, and the Channel now be considered free from danger.

JAPAN.

Gulf of Tokio.-Information has been received from the Japanese Government that the highest part of tho Fort on Futsu Saki, bears N. 2° 41' E. (true) distant 6502 yards from Kuwun-on-Saki Light House. This would place the Fort in Lat. 35° 18′ 33′′ N. and Long 139° 44′ 27′′ E. (approximately.)

Charts affected Nos. 2657 and 996.

C.S.O. 410 of 1887.

W. H. MARSH.

In November, 1885, during the Cattle Epidemic, it was found necessary to provide for the inspection of all cattle arriving in the Colony. For this purpose one of the Inspectors of Nuisances (Inspector RAE) was transferred from the Sanitary Department, and a temporary Inspector of Nuisances was appointed in his place. This temporary Inspector of Nuisances will be required, until the appointment of a Veterinary Surgeon enables Inspector RAE to return to his proper duties.

The Officer Administering the Government therefore recommends the Council to vote the following sums :--

Salary, for 12 months, at $60 per month,

$720.00 180.00

Allowance for Rent at $15 per month,.. *Allowance for Chair in Summer, at $12 per month, for 5 months, 60.00

$ 960.00

No provision was made for this service in the Estimates for 1887, as the Veterinary Surgeon has not been appointed, and his salary has not yet been ascertained.

Government House, Hongkong, 10th March, 1887.

ABSENT:

The Minutes of a Meeting held on the 11th February, 1887, were read and confirmed.

　　2. Certain papers on the subject of the water supply of the city which is derived from wells together with a report by the Government Analyst on ninety samples of water drawn from such source were considered. Resolved; --that a beginning be at once made to close all polluted wells, dealing with those which are most polluted and liable to be used for drinking purposes first; and that the Acting Registrar General should be invited to warn all Chinese owners of wells, the waters from which have been found by chemical analysis to be polluted, that the waters from them should not be used for potable purposes.

3. A Return of the summonses applied for by the Inspectors of Nuisances during the weeks ending the 12th, 19th and 26th February, 1887, was laid on the table by the Secretary. The Return showed that 50 prosecutions had been instituted, that in 49 cases convictions had been obtained and that fines to the amount of $132 had been inflicted.

　　4. A number of applications for the renewal of licences to keep cattle, goats, and swine were considered. The Secretary was instructed to issue the licences applied for.

　　5. A Report by the Sub-Committee to whom the question of sheep and swine markets had been referred was considered. Resolved;-that a letter should be addressed to the Government urging the early erection of proper sheep and swine markets in the neighbourhood of the cattle market at Kennedy Town, on the grounds that such markets would not only be a very great sanitary improve- ment, but that they would also yield return in the form of rent for the money expended in their

erection.

6. On the motion of Mr. EDE, seconded by the Acting Registrar General, it was resolved, that a letter should be addressed to the Government recommending that, if the passing of the proposed new Public Health Bill in its entirety is likely to be delayed, the Council be asked to pass the Bill in the form in which it was submitted by the Sanitary Board with the exception of the clauses relating to the sufficiency of spaces in and around buildings.

The Board then adjourned till Noon on Friday, the 18th March, 1887.

J. M. PRICE, Chairman.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MARCH, 1887.

　　　THE OPIUM CONVENTION.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administer- ing the Government:-

W. H. MARSH.

The Officer Administering the Government is now able to lay before the Council a copy of the Memorandum of the basis of Agreement arrived at by the Commission which met in Hongkong in June last in pursuance of Article 7 Section III of the Agreement between Great Britain and China, signed at Chefoo on the 13th September, 1876, and of Section 9 of the Additional Article to the said Agreement, signed at London on the 18th July, 1885.

The Joint Commissioners for China laid before the Commission three alternative plans for the collection of Opium Revenue for China which may be briefly described as follows:-

The first plan proposed that the Opium Revenue should be collected for China,by England in India, and this plan was regarded by the Chinese section of the Com- mission as the one of the three best calculated to secure a full collection at the least cost, and as less likely than either of the others to embarrass either Government or Commerce. By a system of deferred payments of duties in India it was alleged that interference with capital could be avoided, and by freeing Opium from taxation in China, smuggling and its attendant evils would, it was thought, be brought to an

end.

The second plan proposed that China should do her own work, that is, collect her own Revenue on Chinese Territory, and take her own preventive steps all along the Chinese sea-board; a plan which could be made thoroughly effectual, but would necessitate large expenditure, and it was feared that it would cause much friction, and that the more thoroughly it was done the more heavily would it press on all affected by it.

The third plan under which it was proposed that there should be a sort of co-operation between England and China, was somewhere between the other two; it would be more expensive than the first, and it probably would not press so heavily on any interest as the second. It was called the Hulk plan. Its general outline was as follows:-

1. The Chinese Customs were to provide two or three Opium Hulks to be anchored at Hongkong, supplemented if required, by a Godown on shore, and the Hongkong Government was to enact an Ordinance directing every vessel entering the Harbour to go alongside one or other of the Hulks. This was subsequently modified and restricted to vessels arriving with Opium ou board. These vessels were to dis- charge their Opium into an Opium Hulk-the French Mail steamers into the French Hulk, the British into the British, and others into a miscellaneous Hulk.

2. Opium stored in the Opium Hulks was to be treated as follows when leaving the Hulk:--

(a.) Opium leaving a Hulk to go by steamer to Macao, or by small Coasting vessels, not under the foreign flag, to Chinese ports, to pay Duty and Lekin before leaving the Hulk.

(b.) Opium leaving a Hulk to be taken to any Godown at Hongkong other than

the Customs' Godown, to pay Duty and Lekin before leaving the Hulk.

(c.) Opium leaving a Hulk to be taken to a Chinese Treaty Port by vessels under Treaty Power flags, or belonging to the China Merchants Com- pany, to pay Duty and Lekin at the Treaty Port in the manner provided for by the Additional Article, but the Hulk Officials to issue to each such vessel for delivery to the Customs at the Treaty Port, a Cargo Certificate describing the nature and quantity of Opium received from the Hulk, and to be delivered at the Treaty Port, and they were also to send a copy of that certificate by some other vessel direct to the Customs at the port concerned.

Modifications would have been made on this plan if the general outline had been acceptable to the Hongkong Government--such as refunding duty on opium consumed in the Colony-or shewn to have been exported to places other than China. Another was that the Hulks should be placed under the British flag.

Under instructions from Her Majesty's Government, the British Commissioners could not assent to the first proposal and did not take it into consideration. It is needless to enter into the arguments for and against the Hulk plan, as it appeared to the Hongkong Commissioner

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MARCH, 1887.

297

to be, even with considerable modifications, of a nature that could not be sanctioned by the Government of this Colony. However as it was desirable to help the Chinese Government to collect their Opium Revenue if we could do so without injury to ourselves, Mr. RUSSELL submitted to the Commission certain proposals which he had long had under consideration. These proposals were accepted by the Chinese Government. Subsequent discussion led to some modifications, and the conditional arrangement arrived at is the one now laid on the table.

This Memorandum of Agreement was transmitted by the Officer Administering the Government to the Imperial Government, to the Viceroy of India, and to Her Majesty's Minister at Peking, with a Confidential Report drawn up by Mr. RUSSELL.

By a Confidential Despatch dated 21st January last, the Secretary of State for the Colonies conveyed to the Officer Administering the Government the approval of Her Majesty's Govern- ment of the course taken in this matter, and sanctioned the introduction of the Draft Ordinance prepared by Mr. RUSSELL by which it is proposed to carry into effect the terms of the Memo- randum of Agreement, so soon as it was ascertained that the equivalent arrangements with the Government of Macao, referred to in condition 1 of that Memorandum, had been concluded. A telegram recently received from Her Majesty's Minister at Peking conveys the infor- mation that these equivalent arrangements with Macao have been concluded, and that from 1st April next all duties on goods exported and imported by junks from Hongkong and Macao- not those on Opium only as contemplated by the Additional Article-will be collected by the Inspector-General's Department. The Stations at the entrances to this Harbour and that of Macao will therefore in future be under a Commissioner of the Imperial Customs instead of the Hoppo and Lekin Board as formerly.

‧

The Officer Administering the Government therefore lays on the table, to be read a first time the Draft Ordinance which will carry out the conditions mentioned in the Memorandum of Agreement, and which will, it is expected, protect and improve the Opium Excise Revenue of the Colony. It is practically the same measure as has been in force in the Straits Settlements for years past. and which has worked so well that Singapore alone obtains about $86,000 a month from the Opium Farmers. It is confidently anticipated moreover that when this arrange- ment has been carried out all grounds will be removed for the complaints that were so frequent some years ago of the vexatious proceedings of the Native Customs Officials at the Stations near Hongkong. The duties to be levied at these Stations will be according to a fixed Tariff instead of an uncertain and variable one, as they have hitherto been alleged to be, and it is provided that in case of any dispute the Governor of Hongkong can depute an Officer to make enquiry into the matter in conjunction with the Commissioner of the Imperial Customs.

MEMORANDUM of the basis of Agreement arrived at after discussion between Mr. JAMES MEN

RUSSELL, Puisne Judge of Hongkong; Sir ROBERT HART, K.C.M.G., Inspector-General of Customs, and SHAO Tao Tai, Joint Commissioners for China; and Mr. BYRON BRENAN, Her Majesty's Consul at Tientsin, in pursuance of Article 7 Section III of the Agreement between Great Britain and China, signed at Chefoo on the 13th September, 1876, and of Section 9 of the Additional Article to the said Agreement, signed at London on the 18th July, 1885.

Mr. RUSSELL undertakes that the Government of Hongkong shall submit to the Legislative Council an Ordinance for the regulation of the trade of the Colony in Raw Opium subject to conditions hereinafter set forth and providing:-

1. For the prohibition of the import and export of Opium in quantities less than one

chest.

2. For rendering illegal the possession of Raw Opium, its custody or control in

quantities less than one chest except by the Opium Farmer.

3. That all Opium arriving in the Colony be reported to the Harbour Master, and that no Opium shall be transhipped, landed, stored or moved from one store to another, or re-exported without a permit from the Harbour Master, and notice to the Opium Farmer.

4. For the keeping by Importers, Exporters, and Godown Owners in such form as

the Governor may require, books shewing the movement of Opium.

5. For taking stock of quantities in the stores, and search for deficiencies by the Opium

Farmer, and for furnishing to the Harbour Master returns of stocks.

6. For amendment of Harbour Regulations, as to the night clearances of junks.

298

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MARCH, 1887.

The conditions on which it is agreed to submit the Ordinance, are:--

1. That China arranges with Macao for the adoption of equivalent measures. 2. That the Hongkong Government shall be entitled to repeal the Ordinance if it be

found to be injurious to the Revenue or to the legitimate trade of the Colony. 3. That an Office under the Foreign Inspectorate shall be established on Chinese Territory at a convenient spot on the Kowloon side for sale of Chinese Opium.

TEMPORARY CENTRAL MARKET.-The Surveyor General laid upon the table the following Report of the Public Works Committee on this question:-

REPORT.

The Public Works Committee have had under consideration the question as to the best provision to be made for stall accommodation pending the construction of the proposed new Central Market, and they recommend that the Southern or Queen's Road half of the present old structure be used as a temporary Market pending the erection of the Northern half of the proposed new buildings, and that upon that section of the new buildings being completed, the stall-holders be moved into it until the new Market is finished in its entirety when fresh arrangements may be made for the distribution of stall space

The acquisition of the necessary site having been completed only quite recently, and there having been until now some uncertainty as to the area that would be available for temporary Market purposes, the Committee have not been in a position to submit their recommendation earlier.

W. H. MARSH.

Chinese correspondence having increased very much of late, especially registered letters from America, the duties of the Senior Postman, who has to distribute all registered letters and obtain signatures to receipts, are now more than one man can accomplish in the course of a day.

The Officer Administering the Government, on the representation of the Postmaster General, recommends the Council to vote a sum of $80 to meet the salary of another Postman at the rate of $10 per month from 1st of April next.

Government House, Hongkong, 22nd March, 1887.

The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that this vote be referred to the Finance Committee. The Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND APRIL, 1887.

　　PAPER.-The Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, laid upon the table the following paper:-

Correspondence in connection with the proposed Loan. (No. 17).

　　PETITIONS.-The Acting Colonial Secretary said that the Clerk of Councils had received two Petitions, and moved that they be read.

The following Petitions were then read by the Clerk of Councils:-

(1.)

To HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT, AND THE HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

The humble petition of Shellim Ezekiel Shellim, of the firm of David Sassoon, Sons & Co., Jacob Silas Moses, of the firin of E. D.. Sassoon & Co., Ruttonjee Dadabhoy Tata, of the firm of Tata & Co., Marcus David Ezekiel, of the firm of Abraham, Ezekiel & Co., Mahomedbhoy Khetsey, of the firm of Tharia Topan, Jafferbhoy Khetsey, of the firm of Jairazbhoy Peerbhoy & Co., and Hormusjee Meherwanjee Mehta, of the firm of Framjee Hormusjee & Co., all of Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong, for and on behalf of the Opium Importers and wholesale Opium Merchants of the said Colony.

SHEWETH, That at a recent Meeting of the Opium Importers and wholesale Opium Merchants of this Colony, held for the purpose of considering the Bill now before your Honourable Council, entitled An Ordinance for the better regulating of the trade in Opium, it was inter alia resolved that the said Bill, if passed in its present form, would prejudicially affect their trade, and that your petitioners should be appointed a Committee to take such measures as they might consider advisable to bring their complaints before your Honourable

Council.

That while fully recognizing the necessity of carrying out the object aimed at by the said Bill, namely, the prevention of Opium smuggling into China, and while sympathizing with its spirit, your petitioners submit that the means by which it is proposed to effectuate such object would inflict serious injury upon the Opium trade, and especially on the aforesaid Opium Importers and wholesale and retail Opium dealers, and prove a blow to the general commerce and prosperity of this Colony.

That your petitioners believe that the ends intended to be accomplished by the said Bill could be attained by other and less objectionable means, and that your petitioners are prepared to co-operate with your Honourable Council and the Executive in attaining the desired object.

That inasmuch as the Bill affects private interests, and was only brought in and read a first time on Friday, the 18th instant, it is desirable to postpone the second reading thereof so as to enable the persons who are more immediately interested, as well as the general public, to acquaint themselves with its scope and object.

‧

Your petitioners therefore humbly pray

1.--That the second reading of the said Bill may be postponed until such day as your

Honourable Council may under the circumstances deem meet.

2.-That your petitioners may be heard by Counsel at the bar of your Honourable

Council as to their objections to the said Bill in its present form.

3. That the said Bill may be so amended or modified as to remove the objections of your petitioners, or that it may be withdrawn and a fresh Bill introduced such as

the necessity of the case requires.

And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.

Hongkong, 22nd March, 1887.

THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

The humble petition of the undersigned merchants and traders resident in Hongkong. Respectfully showeth :-

1.-Your petitioners are dealers in Opium risiding and carrying on business in Hongkong.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND APRIL, 1887.

319

2. At the meeting of your Honourable Council held on Friday, the 18th March instant, a Bill was introduced and read a first time entitled An Ordinance for the better regulating of the trade in Opium, and the said bill is framed for the purpose of regulating the movement of Raw Opium in this Colony and of prohibiting the purchase or sale of Raw Opium in quantities less than one chest.

3.-Your petitioners deal largely in Raw Opium, buying and selling it in quantities less than one chest, and have a large capital engaged in the said business, and they employ in their said business many hundreds of persons.

4.-If the said Bill becomes law in its present form the business hitherto carried on by your petitioners will absolutely cease and can no more be carried on the capital therein employed will be idle, the hundreds of persons now occupied in the said business will be thrown out of employment, and your petitioners will all of them suffer grievous loss and injury, and some of them will be irretrievably ruined.

5.-Your petitioners respectfully submit that the objects proposed to be attained by the said Bill may be far more effectually carried out by means other than those contained in the said Bill, and without loss or injury to any class of the community; and they therefore humbly pray that on the second reading of the said Bill they may be heard by their Counsel against the said B'll, under the provisions of the 47th of the Standing Orders and Rules of this Honourable Council, and that they may have due notice of such second reading.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Languagej. constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperiet Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabet cally arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philole- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and, used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of surnames, will be published and sold separately.

When the Green Island Light-house was built, it was thought that it would meet all requirements, if a native or a coloured man were placed in charge of the light. A very small house with two rooms was therefore deemed sufficient by way of quarters; but, subsequently,' a European was put in charge, and there has been ever since one continuous complaint about the inadequacy of the house.

As a new roof will be required to the building, the Surveyor Gene l has suggested that this opportunity should be availed of to make certain extensions, the cost of which would amount to $1,500.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arrange according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

The Registrar shall, before the sitting of any Court whereat either a common or special jury shall be necessary, issue summonses according to the form in the Schedule B hereto, requiring the attendance thereat of the persons drawn from the ballot box, and every such summons shall be personally served upon, or left at the usual place of abode of the person so summoned two clear days before the day appointed for the sitting of the Court.

16. The Registrar shall cause a list containing the names, places of abode and additions of the persons so sum- moned, to be made out as soon as conveniently may be after the summonses have been served.

17. In all informations for Criminal Offences it shall be lawful for the Attorney General acting on behalf of the Crown by written notice to the Registrar, or for any judge of the Court upon the application of any private prosecutor or upon the application of any prisoner or accused against whom an information has been filed, to order a special jury to be summoned for the trial of any case. Upon the receipt of such notice or upon any such order being made the Registrar shall forthwith proceed to form the panel of such jurors, and to summon them in manner herein before provided.

18. At the sitting of the Court the names of all the jurors summoned whether special or common shall be written on separate cards of equal size and put into a box, and the Registrar, or clerk of the Court shall, in open Court, draw therefrom until a jury is obtained.

19.

Provided that in case and as often as the Court shall adjourn before the case shall have been so left with the jury, then such jury may if the Judge shall so direct, be removed in charge of an officer of the Court to some convenient place there to take refreshment at their own expense and rest until the Court shall reassemble, and such officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none save himself to speak to or to communicate with them without the express leave of the Judge. If after the case shall have been so left to the jury, and such jury shall desire to withdraw for the purpose of considering their verdict, then they shall be kept by such officer of the Court in some convenient place apart by themselves, but they shall be allowed reason- able refreshment at their own expense with power also to retire alone only for personal purposes, until they are agreed upon their verdict, or be discharged therefrom by the Court; and the officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none to have access to them, or speak to them himself except to ask whether they are agreed upon their verdict or to com- municate between them and the Court. Provided always that it shall be in the discretion of the Judge in all cases to dispense with any of the foregoing provisions, and in the event of any adjournment to direct the jury to be removed to some convenient place in the vicinity of the Court during such adjournment under the charge of the proper officer of the Court or to allow the jury to separate for such time and subject to such conditions as to the Judge may seem fit.

20. The names of the persons drawn as jurors shall be marked on the list provided for in Section 16; and the cards with such names shall be kept apart by themselves until all the cards in the box shall have been drawn. Provided always, that if any case shall be brought on to be tried before the jury in any other case shall have brought in their verdict, it shall be lawful for the Court to order another jury to be drawn from the residue of the said cards for the trial of the case which shall be so brought on to be tried. Provided also, that where no objection shall be made on behalf of the plaintiff or prosecutor, or on behalf of the defendant or prisoner, or accused, it shall be lawful for the Court to try any case with the same jury that shall have previously tried, or

21. Whenever the jury in a criminal case, shall not be unanimous in their verdict, it shall be lawful for the Judge to direct them to withdraw from the Court Room for the purpose of considering their verdict in private.

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

23. In.the event of the death, illness, or default of attendance of any one or two of the jurors during the trial of any suit, action, or information, it shall be lawful for the Court, in its discretion to order the trial of such suit, action, or information, to be proceeded with in like manner as if the full number of jurors had continued to serve on the jury, and any verdict returned by the remaining jurors, or by a majority, shall be of equal validity and have the same force and effect as if it had been returned by a jury consisting of the full number of seven jurors. *Provided always, that in capital cases the remaining jurors must be unanimous in their verdict in order to warrant sentence of capital punishment being passed on the prisoner; but if he be found guilty of a crime less than the capital one on which he is arraigned, then sentence shall follow the finding of such majority. Provided also that it shall be lawful for the Court, instead of proceeding with the trial with the remaining jurors, to cause a new jury to be em- panelled, sworn and if necessary charged with any prisoner or accused; and the suit, action, or information shall be tried as if such first jury had not been empanelled,

24. The verdict of the jury shall in all cases be given by the foreman, in open Court, and in the presence of all the jury, and if in a criminal proceeding in the presence of the prisoner, and shall thereupon be recorded by the Registrar; and the Registrar shall, before taking the verdict, ask if they are all or by what majority agreed thereon, and whether they find for the plaintiff or for the defendant, and in the case of a prisoner or accused whether they find such prisoner or accused Guilty or Not Guilty; and the jury shall either pronounce a general verdict for the plaintiff or defendant, or of Guilty or Not Guilty, or else shall return a special verdict finding the facts of the case. Provided always, that the jury may acquit any prisoner or accused of a part of the charge against him, and find him guilty of the remainder.

25. Whenever the jury in any case has withdrawn, and been kept apart for the purpose of considering their verdict, and shall not have returned the same before all the other cases for trial at the same sittings or sessions shall have been disposed of, and when it shall sufficiently appear to the Court that the said jury cannot agree upon a verdict, and that there is not such a majority as aforesaid agreeing, the Court shall discharge such jury, and shall cause a new jury to be empanelled and sworn and charged with any pri- soner or accused, and the suit or action, or information shall be tried as if such first jury had not been empanelled.

26. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Court from exempting in its discretion any person or persons from serving, as a juror on any trial, or from removing their names from the list of jurors, on cause being shown for so doing.

27. No person who shall be put upon his trial either for treason, felony, or misdemeanour, shall be allowed to chal- lenge any of the jurors except for cause.

29. The remuneration of special jurors in civil cases shall be ten dollars each for every trial. In criminal cases special jurors shall not be entitled to any remuneration. Provided always that the Judge upon the application for a special jury by the prisoner or accused may order such special jury to be remunerated as in civil cases and that such prisoner or accused deposit with the Registrar or other officer of the Court a sum sufficient to cover the expenses of such special jury; otherwise such order to be of no effect.

3.

6. Whenever the Registrar General shall have reason to believe that any female child between the ages of six and sixteen years is in the custody, power or possession of any person who has no legal right to such custody, and that it is prejudicial to the interests, and liberty of such child that she should continue in the custody of such person, it shall be lawful for the Registrar General to make appli- cation to a Judge in chambers for a writ of Habeas Corpus.

C.5.0.

68 of 1887.

The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $9,600 for the extension of the Cattle Depot at Kennedy Town.

The present Depot can accommodate 240 head of cattle intended to be slaughtered for the meat supply of the City; but the requirements of the town and of the shipping have grown so largely that the Acting Registrar General now states that the present accommodation is inadequate, and that room should be provided for at least 360 head of cattle.

A copy of a letter on this subject from the Surveyor General is annexed. Government House, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1887.

No. 9.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH APRIL, 1887.

Enclosure.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 10th January, 1887.

SIR,-Some years ago the Government built a Cattle Depot at Kennedy Town destined to accommodate the cattle intended to be slaughtered for the meat supply of the City. It was stated at the time that room for 120 head of cattle would suffice, and that the market or depot could be enlarged subsequently as the demands of the Colony increased.

2. Two years ago the question was again considered, and it was stated that accommodation should be provided for at least 240 head of cattle. Accordingly in 1885, the Government placed on the Colonial Estimates for 1886, a sum of $10,000 for this extension of the Depot.

3. But the fact is the wants of the town and of the shipping are growing enormously from day to day, and the Registrar General now states that the recent extension is inadequate and that room should be provided in the Depot for at least 360 head of cattle.

4. Of the necessity for this further extension, I myself can entertain no doubt, for, on a recent examination of the place, I saw many bullocks picketted outside, exposed to all weathers, for want of room in the sheds.

5. Cattle exposed in this unsheltered and somewhat inhuman manner are liable to contract disease, and as the Government now pays compensation for diseased cattle destroyed, there is always a risk of more or less heavy demands being made on the Colonial Treasury on this

account.

6. A further extension of the cattle sheds so as to enable them to hold 360 head, would involve an outlay of $9,600, and if this proposition were sanctioned a special vote for this amount would have to be asked of the Legislative Council.

7. I ought, however, to mention that a balance has remained over of $1,840 from last year's vote of $10,000, so that if a special vote of $9,600 were now asked for, a proportion of $1,840 would in reality be nothing more than a re-vote, and it would only be the balance, i.e., $7,760 that would represent new expenditure.

8. As a considerable revenue may be derived from this place if enlarged, the Government will doubtless have all the greater inducement to sanction a further extension of the accommo- dation. The 120 stalls proposed now to be added will bring in an additional $40 a month, representing a return of 3 per cent. on the outlay.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D.,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

W. H. MARSH.

On the representation of the Surveyor General and the Harbour Master, that the Officer's Quarters at Stone Cutters's Island Magazine are now in such a state as to make any further postponement of repairs unsafe, the Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $2,000 to defray this service.

Resolved;-that, to enable the people to live healthy lives, the minimum free air space which should be permitted in lodging-houses and tenement-dwellings is three hundred cubic feet for each adult person.

7. The Secretary was instructed to notify the keepers of certain lodging-houses that if the over- crowding which exists in their lodging-houses is not abated within six weeks from the date of receiving the notice, proceedings will be instituted against them under Section 3 of Ordinance 7 of 1883.

8. A draft of the Bye-laws proposed to be made under the new Public Health Ordinance for the prevention of overcrowding in tenement-dwellings was read and, subject to certain amendments, agreed to.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 178.

The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Departinent for 1886, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th April, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 12th February, 1887.

　　SIR,-I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Botanical and Afforestation Depart- ment for the year 1886.

　　2. The Superintendent was absent on leave during seven months of 1885, and from the 1st of January to the 2nd of June of the year under report. Mr. WESTLAND deserves credit for the efforts which he made to maintain the efficiency of the Department while Acting Superintendent.

　　3. ESTABLISHMENT.---I have much pleasure in recording the good conduct of the Head and Second Foresters during a period of trouble and trial when their characters were put to a test. The Head Forester, Mr. Lo AQWAI, was the first apprentice taken when I instituted the system of Garden Apprentices about twelve years ago. He is now the most valuable Chinese in the department.

4. A Temporary Clerk was employed for six months to assist the Acting Superintendent and the Permanent Clerk.

　　5. In consequence of the Dismissal of the Permanent Clerk an examination was held by the Government for the vacant post, Mr. S. MOOTIAN, being the successful candidate, received the appoint-

He has applied himself assiduously to his duties, and has given satisfaction in every way.

ment.

　　6. As usual there have been a great many Changes in the Staff of gardeners and labourers. These frequent and unavoidable changes are very detrimental to the state of efficiency which I am anxious to see attained. It is impossible to get trained gardeners to fill vacancies as they occur, the men who are engaged are, as a rule, ordinary coolies chosen on account of moderate intelligence, good character and activity, the ordinary and special duties required of them have to be learnt after the men come to us. All the operations of the gardens have to be daily and constantly supervised which absorbs nearly the whole time of the Head Gardener. Such fairly good Chinese gardeners as there are can obtain $7 or $8 a month, and the men, of course, are unwilling to come to us for $6 a month, or even for $7 (which are the highest wages paid by this department for gardeners) as they know that here the men have to work harder than in private service where they have very much more of their own way. There is, however, a prospect of some improvement, as provision has been made for an increase in 1887 of a dollar a month each for a few posts in the department, and this cannot but have a good. effect.

　　7. Provision has also been made for the appointment of a Carpenter who will be fully employed. By this arrangement the profits hitherto made by the contractor will be saved, besides securing much greater convenience in always having a carpenter at hand to attend promptly to repairs, and other work.

　　8. An additional Forest Guard will be employed in 1987. This increase was much needed, as the patrol of the whole island, with the great increase in number and size of trees since forest guards were appointed six years ago, needs correspondingly increased vigilance from the protective staff.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

　　9. FOUNTAIN TERRACE.-The improvements long projected, and referred to in my Report for 1884, were commenced in the beginning of 1885, by removing from the western end of the terrace trees which were neither very ornamental nor useful, or which were represented adequately by speci- mens of the same species in other parts of the Gardens. They were not in keeping with their position

and surroundings and the formal arrangement of this popular and beautiful portion of the Gardens. · After the removal of the trees, the space they occupied was laid out in beds, the poor soil from which was replaced with better material. These beds were partially planted with roses at the time, and the planting was completed during the past few months. The work of converting the remaining, and larger portion of the ground on the eastern side of the Fountain has been resumed lately, and it will be completed very soon. The arrangement adopted for the improvement of the terrace is designed for two purposes. One is to replace the large trees with plants of a more suitable nature for the character of the place. The other object is to provide a suitable place for concentrating the collection of roses. The roses have hitherto been cultivated in various scattered parts of the Gardens, a method resulting in inconvenience and loss of time in management, as well as exposing the flowers to the cupidity of visitors and professional thieves. For some years flowers in general and roses in particular have received careful and regular attention from flower stealers, who have learnt their business so well that they manage to elude the vigilance both of the watchman, and detectives who have been specially detached for this service. These thieves find a good market in the town for cut flowers, and the very numerous entrances (there are nine) to the gardens, and the low walls which surround the grounds greatly facilitate the ingress and egress without detection of thieves. It is very desirable that some- thing should be done to check flower stealing, but at present there does not seem to be much prospect of the possibility of going much further than the concentration of the roses in one place where they can be more readily seen.

10. On the top of the bank at the north side of the terrace a Collection of Creepers has been planted, and an Iron and Wire Trellies 300 feet long and four feet high has been placed for their support.

　　　11. GREVILLEA AVENUE.-The western end of this walk was a cul de sac which visitors, instead of retracing their steps to escape from when they reached its end, got out of by climbing up the grass bak between it and the small walk above; by this the grass was continually worn off. For the con- venience of visitors, and the improvement of the end of the avenue, a flight of steps has been made up the bank, and some rock work on each side has been constructed and planted with ornamental foliage plants, which will grow in the shady situation.

12. Epiphytal Orchids (Phalaenopsis spp.) have been placed on the trunks of the Grevillea (Silky- Oak) trees which compose the avenue. The suitability of the climate for the cultivation of Phalaenopsis has yet to be proved. So far the orchids, although they were only indifferent specimens of vigour when placed on the trees, seem to afford a promise of success, but the cold of winter, which is not yet over, is the severest trial they have to contend with.

13. THINNING AND REMOVAL OF TREES.-Trees and plants of value and beauty which were in danger of having their symetrical development dangerously interfered with by neighbours which had already fulfilled the purposes for which they were originally planted, and which were afterwards occupying the places of interlopers, have been going through a course of ejection for several months. A couple of foresters have been employed to do this carefully. There are still of some kinds of trees far more individuals than there should be in the Gardens, which must gradually be withdrawn. Until this is done it will be impossible to provide suitably for and to introduce trees of new, beautiful, and interesting forms.

14. PALMS.-A very considerable augmentation of these has taken place. New species have been introduced from various parts of the world, which have raised the number of those in cultivation to one hundred and four. Most of them are planted in permanent positions, but there are others growing in pots and waiting for fit positions to be prepared for them. The limited ground available will not permit the collection to be very much extended, but when the roses are established in the new rosary, the plot at present occupied by the plants in the New Garden will be available for them.

15. This climate has been found suitable for all palms yet introduced with the exception of Maximiliana Martiana and Stevensonia grandifolia, both of which have repeatedly succumbed to cold in the dry season. The former is a native of North Brazil and Guiana, and the latter of the Seychelle Islands. The inability of these two plants to bear with impunity the cold of this climate is interesting when we consider that other plants, including palms, from the same and from equally as hot regions exhibit no ill-effects from the cold.

　　16. CONIFERS.--Not many additions have been made to these. Dacrydium elatum, a very beautiful and graceful conifer has been introduced from Penang, and promises to flourish in Hongkong. Before much is done in the increase of the collection, the ground for their reception must be extended, this, however, is possible when means are available. The Conifers being side by side with the Palms make a very pleasing and interesting assemblage, which arrests the attention of intelligent visitors and illustrates in a comprehensive space the interjunction of the regions in which these two most interesting, beautiful, and useful families of the vegetable kingdom luxuriate.

- M

　　17: GLENEALY RAVINE. This remains in a slovenly condition, but year after year leaves us in want of means to improve it. The shrubberies require re-arranging and re-planting. The grass lawns are also in very bad order, but it is useless doing anything with these until the string of people who daily walk across them to scoop up water from the nullah can be diverted. This, I trust, will be possible as soon as the necessity for the coolies to come in search of water is removed.

18. PLANT HOUSES.-The fern collection continues to improve and it shows the great advantage which the house constructed for its accommodation three years ago has been to it, not only in pro- viding the more suitable conditions which were indispensable for successful cultivation, but also in exhibiting the beauties of the plants to greater advantage.

19. The plant house which was built two years ago for other classes of plants, especially foliage plants and orchids, has also been successful in the purpose for which it was designed. A number of orchids which had previously not been successfully cultivated have made better growth, and been preserved in a healthy and vigorous state in consequence of our being able to meet their requirements more completely by the facilities to regulate the shade, shelter, and moisture which the house affords. There is, however, room for great improvement in orchid cultivation, which can only be achieved by the closest and most constant study of the wants of the plants, and unceasing supervision and direction of the workmen in the application of all that plants require.

20. The old structure with a glass roof, the first one of any kind which the Gardens possessed, and which I had built 14 years ago, contains ornamental foliage plants, some orchids, and a few ferns which cannot be grown in this climate without protection from the cold and dry climate of the cool season. These plants it would be utterly impossible to grow without such protection. The house, however, in both size and design meets in a very imperfect manner the needs of the plants; it is in a rotten, tumble-down condition, but I am loth to appropriate much money for repairs to it..

21. This house has fulfilled a good purpose in proving that with such aid very interesting and lovely plants may be grown here, which otherwise it would be impossible to keep alive. Instead of repairing it I hope the Government will be able to grant a sum of money for the Erection of a Glass- house which will be more commodious, and which will be worthy of our justly famed Gardens and Colory. The house could be filled at once with plants, and it would be a source of the greatest pleasure and benefit to the public.

　　　22. AVIARIES AND ANIMALS' PENS.-In the aviaries several birds have been missing, and others found dead. The assumption is that the mischief has been done by some animal, probably by cats wild or tame. I have not attempted to procure other birds to take the places of the missing ones, because, I hope during the year to be able to put up some new cages which will exclude cats from the larger birds, and rats from the smaller ones. When these cages are up, a few more birds will be obtained....

23. The posts and wire netting which enclose the deer and large birds are much decayed, as well as the little houses inside. All of this I hope likewise, during the year to put in better order, and to improve the general appearance of the pens.

24. ST. IGNATIUS' BEANS (Strychnos, Ignatii, Berg.)-I am indebted for specimens of dried leaves and wood of this to Mr. Crow, the Government Analyst, who has exerted himself in obtaining them from the Philippine Islands in order to endeavour to clear up the botanical origin of this important drug. Mr. VIDAL, Inspector-General of Forests at Manila, however, has succeeded in procuring complete specimens necessary for the conclusive determination of the plant. A description and two plates have been inserted as an appendix in the "Revision de Plantas Vasculares Filipinas" which Mr. VIDAL published last year. Descriptions of the plant were given by LOUREIRO as far back as 1793, and by BLANCO in 1845, but no complete herbarium specimens seein to have been accessible until last year.

25. CHINESE STAR ANISE.-In my report for 1883 I mentioned that through the enterprise and kindness of Mr. H. KOPSCH, who was then Commissioner of Customs at Pakhoi, some very small seedlings of what was reputed to be the Chinese Star Anise plant had been obtained. These were very carefully nursed, and they had been watched and well cared for since that time. One of them has grown into a small tree 10 feet high, and in September last it rewarded us for the care bestowed on it by producing a few flowers, which were sufficient to enable the species to be ascertained. On reference to the works in the Gardens library I found that it was neither Illicium religiosum Sieb. et Zuc. nor I. anis-atum, Linn. The former is the Japanese Star Anise and the latter is the plant which had been supposed to yield Chinese Star Anise. I submitted specimens to Kew Gardens for comparison with the dried plants stored in its magnificent herbarium, and with descriptions of species in the library there.

　　　　　　　Mr. THISELTON DYER, the Director of the Gardens, in reply informs me that the speci- men sent is referred to Illicium cambodiense of which Kew has specimens from Dr. PIERE besides the latter's figure in "Flore Forestrie de Cochin-Chine," and that it is nearly allied to I. Griffithii. H. f. and T., and I. majus, H. f. and T., two Indian species. This is an important additional step in this interesting question, but the seedlings having been obtained through natives, the question of the source of Chinese Star Anise cannot be considered quite settled, as we have yet to prove that the plants which we have of Illicium cambodiense are identical with those which really furnish the Anise of commerce. This cannot be satisfactorily decided until the Anise plants are seen in the districts where they grow by a reliable European, or until our plants produce seeds, when the capsules and seeds can be compared with those in trade; if the two then prove to be identical we may feel pretty sure that the origin of Chinese Star Anise has been discovered. The few flowers which were produced last year were all

very

wanted for dried specimens, but if the tree blossoms again this year, which there is every reason to expect it will do, the flowers will be left on the tree and fertilized for the production of fruit which will no doubt succeed the flowers.

　　26. BAMBOO.-In my annual report for 1882 I stated that I had brought together in one collec- tion twenty-five kinds of bamboos. These have continued to do well, and some further additions have been made. I hope whenever there is an opportunity to still further increase the collection. The bamboos of China are of great interest and utility and many of them are probably unknown to science. It is impossible to assign them to their true places in systematic botany until flowers are obtained from which a complete and satisfactory study of them can be made. The bamboo flowers at such long intervals that if we trust to travellers being able to furnish the desired flowering specimens the day will be very far distant when the study will have made much progress. One reason why, the different kinds should be cultivated in these Gardens, is that when flowers are produced they can be immediately secured for investigation.

　　27. A year or two ago Dr. MACGOWAN kindly sent me specimens of the very interesting square stemmed bamboo, but unfortunately they did not survive the passage. When he was passing through the Colony recently Dr. MACGOWAN was good enough to promise to send me a further consignment, I hope, therefore, to have the plant in cultivation shortly.

　　28. While writing this note on bamboos I have received a letter from Mr. DYER, the Director of Kew Gardens, in which he says in reference to this very subject:-" The Chinese species of this group are very badly known. There is a kind with large leaves which is used for lining tea chests, but about which nothing else is known. It would be a most important thing to take up vigorously the study of bam' oos and procure specimens whenever they are to be met with in flower.'

　　29. TREE TOMATO.-(Cyphomandra betacea).-Vigorous plants which grew from seeds sent me by Mr. MORRIS, the late Director of the Jamaica Botanical Department, produced a crop of fruit during the summer, but heavy rains which occurred at the time so seriously damaged the plants that the fruit did not mature properly. I fear that the saturated condition of the soil during the rainy season will prevent this useful plant being successfully grown in the Colony. In the drier, and more sandy soil of Kowloon, however, it is possible that it may succeed.

　　30. DILLENIA SPECIOSA.-An Indian tree which was introduced about ten years ago bore a heavy crop of fruit. In India the fruit is used for tarts. That which the tree bore was found to be a fairly good substitute for apples, which it somewhat resembled.

　　31. VITIS MARTINII (?)-The Cochin-China vine again yielded a very heavy crop of fruit. This has received a good deal of attention in America where it is being experimented with as a new wine producer. For this purpose it has been spoken of favourably. It is possible that in some climates which are unsuitable for the cultivation of the grape-vine this one might be of considerable service, I tried the fruit in tarts, and the flavour was found to be good and palatable, but the large seeds are objectionable; however, it is possible that this drawback might be diminished in time by cultivation. The large leaves of the plant give it a distinguished and ornamental appearance which is an additional recommendation for its finding a place in tropical gardens, if not even in hot-houses of temperate climates.

　　32. GOVERNMENT HOUSE GROUNDS.-When these were laid out many years ago they were planted with such things as could be most readily secured, but unfortunately the selection and variety of trees chosen was in consequence not so good as desirable. From time to time a good many objectionable trees have been removed and replaced with others of a more ornamental character, amongst them being a large number of palms and some conifers. These have all done well and greatly improved the appearance of the garden. There is still a large number of trees, notably the very common banians and clumps of bamboos, which mar the effect and effectually stand in the way of further improvements which ought to be made without delay.

　　33. PLANT SALES.-The demand for plants continues to steadily increase. During the year 1918 plants were sold, and they realised $409.35, which is an excess of $137.50 over the sales for 1885. The sales would have been greater if the supply had been equal to the demand. Means are not adequate for the cultivation of certain kinds of plants, but I hope that a re-arrangement of nursery appliances, and an extension of the ground which will be effected this year will place us in a better position to meet public requirements, and a growing taste for plants. A Glass-house fifty feet long is in course of construction, when finished it will be used for propagation and growth of delicate plants which in the early stages of growth require its protection. A new Catalogue of Plants for sale in 1887 has been printed.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.

　　34. The total number of plants and trees distributed was 6,771, and of packets and bags of seeds 180 weighing about 40 lbs. Of the trees and plants 1,918 were sold, 2,800 supplied free to the Royal Engineers for planting at the new forts, 800 given, to various Police Stations and planted at the Govern- ment Hospital new grounds, and the balance, 1,253, were distributed in exchange,

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887. 443

　　35. Of plants received in exchange the number was 1,326, and of bags, boxes and packets of seeds 186, weighing about 70 lbs.

　　38. To the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, I am indebted for two Wardian cases of useful and ornamental plants which I selected at Kew and brought with me when I returned from England in June.

39. A valuable collection of orchids was kindly contributed by Dr. KING, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta.

　　10. Senor Don SEBASTION VIDAL Y SOLER, Inspector-General of Forests, Manila, also kindly sent a very valuable collection of Manila orchids.

41. Kew also sent out a number of succulent plants which should have special mention.

　　42. LOAN PLANTS.-The collection grown specially for loan for decorative purposes at public balls and other entertainments has not been in such good condition as I hoped they would be by this time, but before the next season of festivities I hope that, with more special care devoted to them, they will be more worthy of the purposes for which they are intended. These plants are always lent free, the only charge made being that for their conveyance.

　　43. GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.--Application was made to this Department to plant with shade and ornamental trees the new Grounds adjacent to the Hospital which had been designed for the recreation of the patients. A considerable amount of planting was done accordingly, but the prospect is not anticipated of the successful results being achieved which might have been had this Department being placed in a position to deal with the grounds at a much earlier stage in the progress of their

formation.

　　44. REGIMENTAL BAND PERFORMANCES. Throughout the summer months the Band of the 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment, through the kindness of the Colonel and Officers, entertained the public every Sunday, commencing at 9 o'clock P.M. when the weather permitted, and during the cold weather commencing at 3.30 P.M. It has been the custom to illuminate the Gardens for these performances with Japanese paper lanterns. These illuminations necessitated the erection on Saturdays of material

444 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887.

on which to har the lanterns, and which, in consequence of Sunday being a dies non remained until Monday. These fixtures were thus unsightly for the whole of one day and parts of two others. The lanterns also necessitated the attendance of a number of men. To dispense with the unsightliness of the lantern fixings, the attendance of men' on Sundays, the expense of the lantern illuminations, and the circumstance of the lanterns being subject to extinction of their lights by a sudden shower, I had the honour to propose the introduction of gas for the purpose of illuminating the two terraces and entrances. The proposition was approved and the necessary vote for carrying out the work was placed at my disposal, when gas was at once laid on and the requisite fixings were made.

45. At the request of the Colonel of the Regiment a Wooden Platform two feet high and 28 feet in diameter was constructed for the use of the Band when it performs in the Gardens. At present there is only one situation where this platform can be placed. It has to be carried and put in position on Saturday, where it remains until Monday. When it is not in use the

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　When it is not in use the appearance of the platform to say the least, does not add to the beauty of the terrace. It would be desirable to find another place for it, if this can be done without interfering seriously with the effect of the music, where the platform might be planted off from view.

46. AL FRESCO FETE.-In November a large Fete in aid of the Alice Memorial Hospital was held in the Gardens on two nights. Very extensive preparations in the way of mat structures for theatre, fancy work stalls, refreshments, bar, and other things had to be made. I believe there were about 6,000 people admitted to the Gardens on each night. Considerable damage was done to the grass turf, and most of the flower beds which had just been filled for the winter season were so much trampled on that they had to be replanted after the fete was over, some shrubs and plants in pots were also destroyed. The staff for some time after the fete had to be withdrawn from their usual occupations in order to get the Gardens into respectable order again..

47. HORTICULTURAL SHOW.-The Annual (15th) Flower Show was again held in the Gardens. The space required for the exhibits was greater than it previously had been. These shows have been productive of the greatest good in the cultivation of vegetables, in which, as is most desirable, the Chinese take more and more interest, which is a proof that to them the industry is a paying one.

48. It would greatly enhance the value and interest of the shows if exhibitors would have each plant carefully and conspicuously named.

49. A new interest was attached to the exhibition last year by the award of Silver and Bronze medals-called Belilios Medals--and Money Prizes provided for by a handsome Endowment Fund which was generously placed at the disposal of the Committee by Mr. E. R. BELILIOS. It is hoped and expected that these prizes, which will be offered every year, will still further stimulate horticultural enterprize in the Colony.

50. OFFICE. Since my return from leave I have devoted much time to the institution of an improved system of office work and arrangements, which were urgently needed, and of the working up of arrears in both ordinary routine, and correspondence. Improved furniture and conveniences were pressingly necessary, and they have been obtained. By these improvements work is greatly facilitated, and much time is saved.

51. In consequence of the absence of the Superintendent for half the year correspondence, espe- cially foreign, has not been so great. The average number of letters despatched from the office for the year was about 1,500, of which one-third was foreign correspondence.

52. In addition to the general Administration of the Department the Superintendent either writes or drafts all of the Correspondence, directs and supervises the Forest work, and attends to the keeping and progress of the Herbarium with the aid of native assistance only. In both office and herbarium there is room and necessity for more skilful assistance than that which is available, as it is impossible to entirely keep up with the increasing demands of important subjects which are continnally pressing for attention.

53. The time of the Head Gardener is entirely taken up with the management of the native staff within the Botanic and Government House Gardens and the execution of the manifold operations therein, and with the sale of plants.

　　54. HERBARIUM.-More and more interest is being directed to the Botany of China, and it is a pity that this institution which in many respects is so conveniently situated for research in important and interesting subjects has not the means for extending and more completely fulfilling the work which still remains to be done in bringing to light the botanical treasures of the Chinese Empire. However, I acknowledge with pleasure the aid which the Government has so generously placed at my disposal so far for botanical research. Valuable results have been obtained for some years past, results which have met with the hearty acknowledgment of eminent scientific men in England, and the last year has, although there was so little time for scientific work, had a large share of good results.

　　55. In this work I have to thank the Rev. B. C. HENRY, of Canton, for a large package of plants which he collected and dried during a journey across the island of Hainan. I named such plants of the collection as were known to me, and submitted the remainder, to Kew Gardens. The result of the investigation there proved the collection to be of unusual interest, and of richness in new species.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887. 445

Careful and intelligent travellers like Mr. HENRY are able to render great and valuable services to botany while on journeys undertaken for other purposes. I should always be glad to receive collec- tions from travellers and also to give such advice and assistance as might be needed in indicating the best methods of collecting and preserving the specimens.

56. To the Rev. E. FABER I am also indebted for a fine collection made in the neighbourhood of Ningpo and Shanghai. These plants are of much interest, but they have not, for want of time, been yet fully examined.

57. Mr. WM. M. COOPER, Her Majesty's Consul at Ningpo, is also entitled to best acknowledg- ments for botanical specimens and information of much interest which has been communicated from time to time, as well as for consignments of seeds of useful plants.

58. Mr. WESTLAND has been successful in the discovery and collection of several new plants on the mainland and islands close to Hongkong, on a few occasions when he was able to get away from his duties in the Gardens.

59. The year has seen the commencement of the publication by the Linnean Society of the "Index Flora Sinensis or an Ennumeration of all the known Plants of China. This establishment has been of much service in contributing to Kew Gardens material and information for use in the pro- duction of this very important work.

60. By the death at Amoy in June, of the late lamented Dr. HENRY FLETCHER HANCE, China lost not only its most learned and courteous botanist, but also the rich collection of dried plants, and an extensive botanical library. I at one time hoped that part of the herbarium might have been secured for Hongkong, but instead of this being so, the whole Herbarium has been purchased by the Trustees of the British Museum.

　　61. There is immense work to be yet done in China, not only in the discovery of a vast number of plants which it is certain are yet unknown to science, but also in the introduction and collection of information on plants used in medicine and domestic, economy. In the advancement of such work, this Department, with increased facilities, could render still more important services.

62. LIBRARY.-My visit to England afforded a good opportunity to procure a number of books which were required to augment the library of the Department. With the aid which the Government was good enough to place at my disposal this opportunity was not lost.

　　63. Following is a list of the titles of works, including the periodicals which are taken, that were added during the year :-

　　65. I have also to acknowledge with thanks, the various Reports of the Indian Forest Depart- ment, which have been generously contributed as they were published.

　　66. In addition to these I am also indebted for various Annual Reports and Papers of the numerous Indian and Colonial Botanic Gardens with which we are in correspondence.

446 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887.

　　67. The Annual Reports of this Department are regularly sent in exchange to all our corres- pondents.

68. The library contains, besides the various reports and papers, 270 volumes.

　　69. In Appendix No. 1 I record a few notes made during a visit to San Ui in the delta of the Canton river on the Palm which is cultivated extensively by the Chinese for the production of leaves for making fans, rain coats for coolies, and for use as thatch, for which it is so extensively employed in South China.

FORESTRY.

　　70. The area of ground operated on in artificial reproduction was smaller than in some previous years. It was necessary to reduce the operations of 1886 for two reasons, one of which was in conse- quence of the weakening of the controlling staff, and the other was to meet the circumstances of the reduced vote for 1887 which was contemplated in 1885. By providing a small balance from the vote for 1886 I was enabled to devote it to the operations which could be carried out in that year as part of the following season's planting, thus enabling us to accomplish more work during the present year when the staff is again complete and competent to resume the full complement of work.

　　71. The number of trees planted was nearly up to the average. It was in the rearing of trees in situ that the diminution of area operated on was effected. This operation was entirely suspended. With the exception of a few thousands of trees planted in the neighbourhood of Deep-water Bay the planting was successfully accomplished. The few which were not successful suffered for want of water in a spell of dry weather which succeeded the planting of them.

　　72. The total number of trees planted was 299,911, of these 293,000 were China Pines, 4,500 Camphor trees, and 1,000 Pride of India trees. The remainder consisted of miscellaneous trees to the number of about 1,200.

　　73. CAMPHOR TREE.-A large number of trees of this species were planted in 1885, and they appear in fairly good condition. It is probable that this tree will be successful in Hongkong, but it is too early to yet pronounce positively one way or another on the subject. If the conditions do prove suitable for the tree, it will be a valuable acquisition, for besides affording pleasant variety to the sylvan effects of the landscapes, the timber may in time be of value.

　　74. The early made plantations of China Pines at high altitudes, and in wind-swept patches do not, as I anticipated, succeed very well. However to put the theory to the test a sufficient number of trees were planted in exposed places and at high elevations for experiment. Now the selection of lands for planting is made at comparatively low altitudes.

　　75. PINUS MASSONIANA.-In 1882 I obtained from Japan seeds of this tree which is indigenous to that country, and of a sturdy habit, with which to experiment for cultivation above the height at which the China Pine did well. The seeds were sown in situ at an altitude of from 1,000 to 1,400 feet. The growth of the tree is slower than that of the China Pine, but the trees are very healthy and of robust habit, and they seem well adapted for bearing the adverse conditions for general tree growth which prevail towards the tops of the hills.

　　76. QUERCUS FISSA.-At the same altitude as the Japanese Pine, young trees of this Hongkong Oak were planted. Some of them, where a little sheltered, have grown very well, and they now measure as much as 9 feet in height and the same in diameter.

　　77. TRISTANEA CONFERTA.-A 'member of the myrtle family, and native of North Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales. It grows into a large tree and the timber is well spoken of in Australia. The rapid growth of a solitary tree of this which had been introduced from one of the Botanic Gardens of Australia, and planted in our Botanic Garden led me to send to Australia for a supply of seeds. From these 800 trees were raised in 1883 and planted out three years ago. The majority were planted on the north side of the island at about 300 feet altitude, and a number of them at a similar height on the south side of the dividing ridge. All have made remarkable progress, the height of the trees now being as much in many instances as 20 feet. The growth and vigour is greater than that of any tree yet tried, if we except the Gum trees, and of these only a few kinds equal the Tristanea.

　　78. GUM TREES.-The Eucalyptus trees continue to do well. Of those planted near the Military Sanitarium two years ago a few species have become splendid vigorous trees. These are on the top of a ridge where the soil is naturally loose and deep. At the same time as these trees were planted, a quantity of the same species were planted at not more than 100 to 200 feet above sea-level, those near the Sanitarium are at about 800 feet. Of twelve kinds three succeeded better at the low level than corresponding plants of the same species at the higher level, five succeeded better at the higher level, while four succeeded equally at both places. The result of the experiment is therefore slightly in favour of the higher altitude for Eucalyptus cultivation.

　　79. ALEURITES VERNICIA.-(Chinese Varnish and Wood-oil-tree.) A plantation of this on Mt. Parker is flourishing and has entirely met my anticipations. The young trees are of an average height of about 2 feet. The situation of the plantation is well sheltered and the soil is good and deep. Seeds, however, which were sown at the same time near Pokfulam in an equally sheltered position, but where the soil was shallow, and in which there was a large mixture of stones, have pro- duced trees very inferior to those on Mt. Parker.

80. Sowing BROADCAST in Situ.-In 1883 and 1885 experiments were made of sowing seeds broadcast amongst grass in various places without any preparation of the soil. In two places the results have been very good, and the young trees are so promising that I intend to adopt the method on a larger scale on lands similar to those where the experiments succeeded. The cost has not yet been accurately ascertained, but it appears so small that I believe double the area of that accomplished by transplanting from nurseries can be operated on in an equally successful manner by the new method. The selection and demarcation of the lands suitable for the system will, however, require to be done carefully by European agency, and this, under the present organization of the staff, seems hardly possible with the great amount of other work which demands all available time.

　　81. BAMBOOS.-In 1885 an operation, which has not yet been reported, was commenced in the Bowrington Plantation of dividing large clumps of bamboos and transplanting them in one of the divisions with a view to the replacement with the bamboos of the pine trees which now exist there, and of the production of a supply of bamboo canes for the use of the department, and probably for sale. The soil and situation is well adapted for the bamboo, and if the whole of the enclosure be planted with bamboo there should in the course of a few years be an annual revenue from that ?source.

　　82. I hope to be able to introduce from the bamboo growing districts to the north-west of Canton, and from other places, many of the valuable kinds of bamboo which are of such inestimable use to the Chinese. These will be planted in the Bowrington Plantation, besides placing one specimen of each kind in the collection within the Botanic Gardens.

　　83. PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA.-This is a small shrub, a member of the large order of Euphorbiacea, which bears an edible fruit, often an inch in diameter, of a very acid taste, somewhat resembling a hard smooth, round, green gooseberry, and which is apparently palatable to the natives. It is found growing wild scattered about various places in the Colony, not very high above sea-level.

　　84. The bark is a valuable tanning material, and is in much request by fishermen, so much so that we have great trouble in conserving the shrubs which exist. I am informed that the fishermen place a higher value on it as a tanning material than even on Mangrove bark.

　　85. I have procured a large quantity of seeds of this plant, and they will be sown in the nurseries with a view to rearing plants for making plantations with. It may be possible that plantations of it will in time be valuable.

　　86. Clearing off BRUSHWOOD. The brushwood in some plantations having become ranker than desirable near roads where it impeded free passage of currents of wind, and where it afforded too much cover, I arranged to have the most advanced plantations cleared of the undergrowth. The plantations through which the Peak road passes have been done.

　　87. Those near Kennedy Road are begun and the work there and in other plantations will be continued when more important works free men to enable them to do it..

　　88. The clearance of undergrowth will not only be done free of expense to the Government, but a revenue will be collected from it.

89. SPECIMENS FOR INDIAN AND COLONIAL EXHIBITION.-A collection of specimens of wood of different kinds of Hongkong trees was made and taken with me to England, where they were cut and polished, and afterwards named and set up in the Exhibition.

　　90. Specimens of a large number of articles made from bamboo and used in domestic economy were afterwards collected by the Acting Superintendent and forwarded to the Exhibition.

　　91. PLANTING OPERATIONS BY CONTRACTS.-These are done under five different contracts. They are:-1. Supplying Seeds, 2. Rearing Trees in Nurseries, 3. Making Tree Pits, 4. Planting Trees, and 5 Rearing Trees in Situ.

　　92. Prices paid vary somewhat one year with another. For instance the price paid for Seeds in 1885 was higher, with one exceptiou, than at any other time. The contract just made is next to the lowest on record. The contract for 1885 for making Tree Pits was higher, than it was in the two previous years, while that just made is fixed at the same price as the previous one. The 1885 contract for Planting Trees while lower than in some previous ones was about fifty per cent. higher than the last contract for the same kind of work. The 1885 contract for Rearing Trees was lower than it was in the two previous years, but not so low as it was three years before, while it was a good deal higher than the one recently made.

　　93. Last year's tenders threw out the experienced men who had for several years given satisfac- tion in Rearing Trees. A new man entirely without experience in this work received a contract for all the trees which were wanted. Although the contract price is low, we are paying dearly for the contractor's inexperience as the trees are the most inferior which I remember.

448 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887.

94. FERN ROCKERIES OUTSIDE THE GARDENS.-These are maintained by the vote for Afforestation. The heaviest costs are caused by artificial waterings throughout the dry months. The dense shade in Gleanealy was the cause of a number of ferns and some other plants continually dying out. To remedy this disadvantage of shade I have had some trees and large shrubs removed in order to admit more light. The large trees in the neighbourhood also do much evil by their roots growing up amongst the soil in which the ferns are planted, and thereby very much impoverishing it.

　　95. Arrangements have been made for extending the rockeries on the eastern side of the road down to St. Paul's College. The construction of the rockery will be gradually carried out, but the planting cannot be completed until plants suitable for the work can be prepared, which will take a little time. For work of this kind the preparation of the plants should be the first consideration to attend to, and the construction of the rockeries should go on and be completed to suit the time when the plants would be ready to put in their places. However, circumstances over which I had no control, but which it was advisable not to allow to slip by without using, rendered the reverse of this method necessary.

96. PROTECTIVE SERVICE.-The Forest Guards made 38 arrests for infringements of what I might call forest laws. Of this number of offenders 26 were sentenced to imprisonment, 5 were fined, 4 were required to find securities, and 3 were dismissed by the Magistrates before whom they appeared.

　　97. The villagers of Little Hongkong maintain their bad reputation for cutting down and damaging trees, and I fear that the mischief cannot be stopped entirely until some such measures as I recently proposed shall be put into force.

　　98. Five months ago I reported some extensive destruction of trees which had been going on on Mount Davis systematically for apparently about twelve months. I had information which placed my suspicions on squatters near Belcher's Bay, particularly on rice-husk burners near the telegraph house, as the perpetrators of the mischief. I personally visited these people and remonstrated with them- there was not sufficient evidence for prosecution to be instituted. This was shortly before the squatters about Belcher's Bay were ejected. Since that time the mischief which had been going on has entirely ceased.

　　99. Although cases of tree and shrub cutting are continually going on the individual cases are, as a rule, of a comparatively trivial nature, yet if the plantations and trees of the island are to be effectively protected it is necessary to apply sharp punishments when offenders are caught, as the difficulty of bringing home punishments to the offenders is very great.

　　100. Altogether there is an improvement in the results of the efforts of the protective staff, as, with the exception of the cases at Little Hongkong and Mt. Davis, general tree cutting does not occur now as it did formerly.

　　101. GRASS FIRES.-The advent of the dry season is always accompanied with much, anxiety about the plantations. The past year has witnessed 'fires of unusual number and extent, which have burnt a rather large number of planted as well as naturally produced trees in addition to a very large area of grass only The fires appear to originate in Chinese Cemeteries from burning incense sticks used in worship at the graves, and from the carelessness and thoughtlessness of pedestrians in throwing down lighted matches as they pass along the roads.

　　102. I would here take the opportunity of requesting those of the public who have occasion to use matches as they pass along roads or over the hills, to be good enough to extinguish the fire before matches are thrown down, as by so doing they may prevent most serious damages to trees.

　　103. The subject of presenting barriers to the spread of fire from roads and cemeteries, or. of removing inflammable material from adjacent ground, should be taken in hand very soon.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The only practicable method of accomplishing this will entail great care and skilful management of resources, which I trust will be organised in time to meet the next season's dangers.

　　104. QUARTERS FOR FORESTERS-We have long suffered the want of inadequate quarters in which to accommodate the majority of the Foresters. It is most important, especially in cases of grass fires occurring, to have a large body of men on the spot, who will be available at once when they are suddenly required to extinguish fires which happen at times out of work hours, or for other purposes.

　　105. Arrangements are, however, now being made for the accommodation of some more men, for which I have to thank the Surveyor General in kindly meeting the requirements by converting a building, which was not wanted for other purposes, into quarters for a portion of the staff.

　　106. STORE AND TOOL ROOMS.--The greatest inconvenience is experienced by the very poor accommodation for the safe custody of tools and working material. However, some relief is, I believe, shortly to be experienced by the erection of sheds which are so much needed, and for which, also, I have to thank the Surveyor General.

107. ASSISTANCE TO ROYAL ENGINEERS.-Very frequent applications have been made by the Royal Engineers' Department for assistance and advice on subjects connected with planting at the Forts and in other places. Aid, as far as possible, has been freely given.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887. 449

　　　　108. An application, which received the approval of the Government, was made for this Depart- ment to rear a large quantity,-fifteen to twenty thousand,-of Gum trees for planting on lands of the War Department. I procured seeds from Australia, and the young seedlings are all doing well. They will be ready to hand over to the Royal Engineers in about a month or two hence. It was arranged that the Royal Engineers should pay for the costs of material and labour used in rearing the

trees.

109. Appendix No. 2 shows the numbers and kinds of trees planted in the year.

110. In Appendix No. 3 I reproduce a most interesting paper by Dr. MAX VON PETTENKOFER on the influence of plants and plantations. This paper will, I think, be perused with much interest at the present time when the sanitation of the Colony is receiving so much attention, Dr. MAX VON PETTENKOFER Shows very clearly the great influence which trees exert in sanitary matters, and their Some doubt is entertained as to the influence of general good effects on the well being of mankind. trees on rainfall, but whether trees attract rain or not, no one can doubt but that they regulate the distribution of water, which is a most important effect. Experiments and experience also prove that trees exert a considerable influence on temperature.

111. From my own experience in Hongkong, which has extended over nearly sixteen years, have found a reduction of several degrees, more particularly at night, of temperature at the Gardens since trees within the Gardens and in plantations around them have been planted and cast a shade over the surface of the ground. The southwest winds of the summer pass over plantations of trees extending from Victoria Gap to the Gardens before they reach the thermometers from which my observations have been made, and I have little doubt but that in travelling over this distance of tree covered land the temperature is either reduced slightly, or that there is not the augmentation of radiated heat from rocks and soil which there was when the hills were destitute of trees.

I have the honour to be,

Appendix No. 1.

ON THE CHINESE FAN PALM, GINGER, &c.

At the end of last October I availed myself of an opportunity at San Ui in the delta of the Canton river, and situated about 50 miles south-south-west of Canton, of seeing the cultivation of the Fan Palm, and the manufacture of fans from its leaves, as well as seeing something of the plants of the Ginger family which are cultivated by the Chinese.

FAN PALM.

Although foreigners have frequently visited the San Ui district I believe the fan palm had not been botanically examined, and some uncertainty prevailed as to the species of palm to which it belonged. Flowers and fruits, which are important organs needed in botanical determinations, were absent at the time of my visit, but I carefully examined the plants which I saw in cultivation and the examina- tion led me to the undoubted conclusion that the palm is Livistona sinensis, Mart.

The Rev. B. C. HENRY, who has travelled much in the Kwangtung province, says in his very interesting book "Ling-Nam" that the palm district extends about twenty miles from east to west, and ten miles from north to south.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In reference to this Mr. It appears that fan palm cultivation is confined to the San Ui district. HENRY says: "That the limitation of this industry is a matter of necessity and not of choice is proved by attempts made at various times to cultivate the palm in other places, attempts that have "always resulted in failure.

　　　Judging from the appearance of the country in travelling through the delta the reputed failure of the palm when its cultivation has been attempt d in other places than the San Ui district could scarcely be attributed to soil, as everywhere this had inuch the same appearance of richness and constituency. Knowing the immense influence which winds have on the growth and success of not only delicate plants, but also on the hardiest of trees, it is possible that the uninterrupted sweep of certain winds over the flat lands of the delta, combined with some other minor uncongenial circums- tances, may be the cause of failure of the palm for commercial purposes. The San Ui district is protected by lofty hills to the north and westward, which possibly afford the conditions of shelter that the palm requires for the development of perfect leaves suitable for the manufacture of fans.

450 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887.

The palin plantations are situated on flat alluvial lands about six to ten feet above the water of the rivers and creeks which run through the delta, and they are intersected with numerous open canals or ditches, four feet wide and more, for carrying off the surplus water in the rainy season, and for retaining it, by means of wooden sluices fixed in the banks which surround the plantations or fields. for purposes of irrigation.

　　The land is not wholly given up to palm cultivation, but other crops, as Bananas, Plantains, Papayas, Oranges, Peaches, Ginger, Betel-pepper plant, and various vegetables occupy shares of the ground.

The cultivation of the palm and the manufacture of fans from its leaves is a most important. industry. According to Mr. HENRY the manufacture of the fans after the leaves have been cut gives employment to about one hundred firms and from ten to twenty thousand people.

When the plantations are made the young seedlings are placed at various distances apart in order that the different kinds of leaves which are produced from plants growing at close and wider distances asunder may be obtained for the manufacture of fans for which thick or thin, or large or small, leaves are required.

The most perfect plantation which I saw was about half a mile in length, and a quarter of a mile in width. It was drained by means of open canals as above described.

The main body of plants were in perfectly straight rows, and they were exactly four feet four inches apart. The stems were from two to four feet high, and they bore about six fully developed and perfect leaves, the petioles (stems) of which were five feet long, and the blade or leaf itself three feet long.

Next to and surrounding the main body of palms was a belt about a hundred feet wide of smaller palms which were growing at only two feet from each other. The stems were but one foot high, they bore the same number of leaves (six) as the larger plants, but unlike them, half the number of leaves were bad. The leaves and their stems were each one foot shorter than those on the larger plants, and the petioles were much more slender.

Outside of this belt and on the extreme margin of the plantation there was a second belt, which however was very narrow. It consisted of only three rows of palms, the plants being very close together, only one foot four inches apart. None of the leaves on this belt appeared good enough for fan manufacture.

The inner belt of plants was intended by reason of thicker planting to serve as a screen to protect the main plantation from the damaging effects of winds, while at the same time it affords finer leaves for smaller fans. The marginal and closely planted belt was placed on the river bank to serve as a fence to keep intruders out of the plantation. For this purpose the palm, while in a young state, and when planted close together, is well adapted, the spines on the ptioles presenting a barrier sufficiently offensive to the bare stockingless and shoeless legs and feet of the Chinese coolie.

The long straight vistas, the regularity of the planting, and the canopy of the verdant leaves overhead produce on the visitor a delightful impression which is worth travelling some distance to experience.

Other plantations contained palms of all ages. Some had trees upwards of a hundred years old, according to the assertions of natives, but these plantations always contained trees of mixed ages, young plants having been constantly added to take the place of older ones as they died out, or were blown down by winds. The old trees were always of a very stunted appearance, a conditon which would naturally ensue from the continued lopping of their leaves. The stems of these old trees I noticed were not more than half as thick as trees of the same height seen growing in Hongkong where the natural growth of the tree is not restricted by the loss of its leaves. A parasitical fungus or lichen covered these old trunks and gave them the appearance of having been white-washed. The tallest trees seen were only about twelve feet high, but they were said to be upwards of a hundred years old. The leaves on these old trees are larger and stouter than those on young plants, and the stems of the leaves are only about a foot long.

The palm begins to yield leaves suitable for fans when it is about six years old.

The first cutting of leaves takes place early in the year, and the leaves which are somewhat damaged by the winterly winds, and consequently of inferior quality, are used for thatch in the construction of the "matsheds" which are so extensively used for temporary purposes in China.

Leaves for fan making are obtained in April, one, two, or three leaves being taken from each plant, and the process is continued each month until November, when, I was informed, cutting is discontinued for a few months. The leaves are taken from he plantations to a clear space covered with short grass turf.

　　　　　Here each leaf has a thin piece of bamboo placed across the blade where it is joined on the stem. Each end of the bamboo is secured in its place by the loose end of a segment of the leaf being dexterously bound round it. The bamboo prevents the leaf curling up while it is drying. The leaves are then laid out singly on the turf to dry in the sun, and collected and stacked at night. The process is continued daily until the leaves are quite dry, when they are either sent off direct to the town to be made into fans, or they are stacked for a time until the manufacturers are ready to

receive them.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887. 451

The manufactory of the fans is carried on chiefly in the town of San Ui, but there are also some establishments in the country where this is done.

The dried leaves are subjected to a process of blanching by means of sulphur. They are then straightened and rendered shapely by being held and manipulated over a charcoal fire. The operator as he finishes the fans places them one by one on each other making a heap on the floor; the heap is firmly pressed down by the weight of the operator who stands on a board placed on the top of the heap while he is working at succeeding fans. When a heap of twenty or thirty fans have been thus treated they are removed and another series is begun.

The next process is sewing on the bindings at the edge of the fans, this is done by women and children, chiefly at their own homes, and the fans returned when finished to the manufacturer. The more expensive fitting on of horn and bamboo handles is done at Canton.

The portion of the leaf stalk which is not required as a handle for the fan is not wasted. It is composed of a fibrous material that is utilized in making short lengths of rope used as slings to suspend baskets from carrying poles.

Around the stem and bases of the leaf stalks there is a quantity of fibrous substance somewhat resembling coir fibre. This is carefully collected and also used for making ropes.

GINGER.

　　　Some doubt has existed as to whether the Chinese have not one or more kinds of plants in use as ginger that are unknown elsewhere. I have taken steps for collecting together and cultivating all the kinds of plants generally included by the Chinese as ginger with the hope that when in cultivation they can be studied and observed in such a manner as to secure all possible information in connection with this subject.

While at San Ui I was fortunate in being able to obtain from cultivated plants good flowering specimens. These I dried, and together with specimens of the roots (properly rhizomes) forwarded to the Director of Kew Gardens for a study of them to be made there, where they can be compared with other kinds, or with specimens of the same kind from other places.

The specimens which I procured were, without doubt, Zingiber officinale, the species commonly in cultivation in other parts of the world.

It is, however, possible that some other plant, which is not a true ginger, may be used in making the celebrated Canton preserved ginger, but all the information which I have yet obtained points to the species Zingiber officinale as the only kind which the Chinese use for this purpose.

The ginger cultivated on the Lo-Fau mountains has a wide reputation amongst the Chinese as being of unusual efficacy in medicine, this superior quality may however be derived merely from pecu- liarity of soil or climate which communicate to the plant exceptional properties.

GLYCOSMIS CITRIFOLIA.

　　　Near the town Kom Chuk I observed growing rather abundantly amongst the mulberry planta- tions as shrub which had been cut down (coppiced) a good deal. On approaching nearer I found it to be Glycosmis citrifolia, a shrub indigenous in Hongkong. An inquiry as to the purpose for which it was used elicited the information that the leaves are pounded, made into cakes, and then used for making a strong kind of wine known as Chow-peng-sze. I regretted not being able to successfully pursue inquiries, and gather further information on a subject of some interest. Possibly some traveller will be able to supplement the knowledge with further particulars.

The shrub is a species of the natural order Aurantiacia to which the orange belongs. It bears a small, sweet, jelly-like, edible fruit about the size of a large pea.

ORANGES.

　　　I inspected plantations of the orange which Mr. HENRY mentions in "Ling-Nam." It is known by the name Tim Kom. No orange which I have tasted in China equals it for sweetness, it is also very juicy and of a fine flavour. Amongst the Foreign community I believe this orange is not so well known as it deserves to be. It has a high market value, the price in Hongkong being thirteen cents per pound.

While alluding to oranges I may mention that I was recently favoured with an opportunity of tasting an orange from the North, known as the Quinine Orange. This has a distinct bitter taste resembling quinine.

　　　Mr. WM. COOPER, Her Majesty's Consul at Ningpo also kindly forwarded me a Chinese lemon of large size, but of shape nearly round, quite unlike the European lemon.

EXTRACT FROM THE INFLUENCE OF PLANTS" BY DR. MAX

VON PETTENKOFER.

　"I consider the impression which plants and plantations make upon our minds and senses to be of hygienic value; further, their influence upon the conformation of the soil with which health is in many respects connected; and finally, their influence upon other qualities of the air, than carbonic acid, oxygen, and ozone: among these may be mentioned in passing, shade in summer, and decrease of wind and dust.'

　"It is an old observation, needing no demonstration, that the cheerful and happy man lives not only an easier, but on the average, a more healthy life than the depressed and morose man. Medical men, and especially mad doctors' could tell us much of the great value of a certain relative proportion of pleasureable and painful impressions upon health, and how frequently some unfortunate position, an absence of pleasure, or too much of painful impression" is the cause of serious illness.....

　"I consider flowers in a room for all to whom they give pleasure, to be one of the enjoyments of life, like condiments in food. It is certainly

It is certainly one of the most harmless and refined. We cannot live on pleasure alone; but, to those who have something to put up with in life, their beloved flowers per- form good service.'

　"The same may be said of private gardens and public grounds, and of the artistic perfecting of them. The more tastefully laid out, the better the effect. Though tastes differ there is a general standard of taste which lasts for several generations though it varies from time to time, and is subject to fashion. As their object is to give pleasure, publie grounds should accord with the taste of the age, or aim at cultivating it. This is a justification for going to some expense for aesthetic ends."

"Modern hygiene has observed that certain variations in the moisture of the soil have a great influence on the origin and spread of certain epidemic diseases, as for instance cholera and typhoid fever that these diseases do not become epidemic when the moisture in the soil is not above or below a certain level, and has remained so for a time. These variations can be measured with greater accuracy by the ground-water of the soil than by the rain-fall, because in the latter case we have to determine how much water penetrates the ground, how much runs off the surface, and how much evaporates at The amount of moisture in the soil of a forest is subject to considerably less variation than that outside. EBERMAYER has deduced the following result from his meteorological observations on forestry: 'If from the soil of an open space 100 parts of water evaporate, then from the soil of a forest free from underwood 38 parts would evaporate, and from a soil covered with underwood only 15 parts would evaporate.' This simple fact explains clearly why the cutting down of wood over tracts of country is always followed by the drying up of wells and springs."

once.

"In India, the home of cholera, much importance has been attached in recent times to plantations as preventitives of it, it has been always observed that the villages in wooded districts suffer less than those in treeless plains. Many instances of this are given in the reports of Dr. BRYDEN, President of the Statistical Office in Calcutta, and Dr. MURRAY, Inspector of Hospitals. For instance BRYDEN compares the district of the Mahanadda, one of the Northern tributaries of the Ganges, the almost tree- less district of Rajpoor, with the forest district of Sambalpoor. It is stated that in the villages in the

A L

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 30TH APR., 1887. 453

plain of Rajpoor, sixty or seventy per cent of the inhabitants are sometimes swept away by cholera in three or four days, while the wooded district of Sambalpoor is often free from it, or it is much less The district commissioner, who had to make a tour in the district on account of the occurrence

severe.

of cholera, reports among other things as follows:-

"The road to Sambalpoor runs for sixty or seventy miles through the forest, which round Petorah and Jenkfluss is very dense. Now it is a remarkable fact, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that on this route, traversed daily by hundreds of travellers, vehicles, and buggage-trains, the cholera rarely appears in this extent of sixty miles, and when it does appear it is in mild form; but when we come to the road from Arang, westward to Chicholee Bunglalon, which runs for about ninety miles through a barren, treeless plain, we find the cholera every year in its more severe form, the dead and dying lying by the wayside, and trains of vehicles half of whose conductors are dead.'

"In the same report Dr. BRYDEN continues :---

"I will mention one other fact as a result of observations, namely, that places surrounded by those vast and splendid groves which are occasionally seen lying in low and probably marshy situations surrounded by hills, and which, from the mass of decaying vegetation, are very subject to fever in September, October, and November, are seldom visited by Cholera, and if it occurs there are but few deaths, while places on high groun l, or in what are called fine, airy situations, free from trees and without hills near, so that they are thoroughly ventilated suffer very much from cholera.''

　　MURRAY gives a number of instances showing the influence of trees on the spread of cholera, one of these may find a place here."

　"The fact is generally believed and not long ago the medical officer of Jatisgar in central India, offered a striking proof of it. During the wide-spread epidemic of cholera in Allahabad, in 1859, those parts of the garrison whose barracks had the advantage of having trees near them enjoyed an indisputable exemption, and precisely in proportion to the thickness and nearness of the shelter. Thus the European Cavalry in the Wellington Barracks, which stand betwen four rows of mango trees, but are yet to a certain extent open, suffered much less than the Fourth European Regiment, whose quarters were on a hill exposed to the full force of the wind; while the Bengal Horse Artillery, who were in a thicket of mango trees, had not a single case of siekness; and the exemption cannot be regarded as accidental, as the next year the comparative immunity was precisely the same.'

We need not however go to India to observe similar instances of the influence of a certain degree of moisture in the soil favoured by woods or other conditions; we can find them much nearer home. In the cholera epidemic of 1854, in Bavaria, it was generally observed that the places in the mors were saved, in spite of the otherwise bad condition of the inhabitants. The great plain of the Danube' from Newburg to Injolstadt was surrounded by places where it was epidemic, while in the plain itself there were but a few scattered cases. The saune thing has been demonstrated by Reinhard, President and every time of the Saxon. Medical College. Cholera has visited Saxony eight times since 1836, it spared the northerly district between Plusse and Spree, where ague is endemic.'

　"Even if these deductions must be accepted with caution fron an etliological point of view, still, on the whole, they indisputably tell in favour of trees and of woods."

"Surface vegetation has also other advantages, besides its use in regulating the moisture in the soil; it purifies it from the drainage of human habitatious whereby it is contaminated and impregnated1. If this refuse matter remains in soil destitute of growing vegetation, further decomposition sets in, and other processes are induced, not always of a salubrious nature, but often deleterious the products of A great deal of heat which reach us by means of air and water and may penetrate into our houses. is neutralized by evaporation from the leaves, another portion by the decomposition of carbonic acid, just so much as is set free when we burn the wood and other organic combinations into the composition of which it enters. The heat produced by burning wood in a stove is derived from the sun; it is but We learn from EBEMAYER'S work that the captured rays of the sun again set free by combustion.

the temperature of the trees in a forest, and even in the tops of them, is always lower than the air in the forest."

"Besides this, shade in the open air always causes a certain draught which acts as a kind of fan. All must have noticed when walking in an oppressive heat, when the air seems still as death, that a refreshing breeze arises as soon as a cloud casts a shade."

"The shade of a single tree, therefore, cools not only by intercepting the sun's rays, but also by the effect of gentle fanning. The shelter of a thick wood, however, is much more agreeable than that The air of a single tree. The air in a wood is cooler than that of an open space exposed to the sun. from outside is drawn into the wood, is cooled by it, and cools us again. And it is not only the air that cools us, but the trees themselves.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

I hereby give notice, under the powers vested in me by Section VI of the Fire Brigade Ordinance, 1868, that so soon as any Fire shall have attained sufficient magnitude to require the assistance of Fire Engines, a cordon of Police will be established round the space required for the working of the Engines at such distance from the immediate scene of conflagration as I may deem desirable. Such facilities, however, will be allowed by the Police for the salvage of property as may be possible without interfering with the space required for the working of the Brigade.

No Persons will be allowed to pass through the lines drawn by the Police except such as are in Naval or Military Uniforms, in Fire Brigade dress, or in charge of Material to be used at the Fires, or having Badges as Fire Brigade Volunteers.

Any European or American desiring to obtain the Badge of the Fire Brigade can have it by applying to me on the understanding that whoever enters the lines by means of these Badges must immediately place himself under the directions of the Officers of the Fire Brigade.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 205.

　　The following Annual Report on Education in Hongkong, for the year 1886. which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th ultimo, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th May, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 25th March, 1887.

SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education for the year 1886. 2. The total number of Schools, subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government, amounted, in the year 1886, to 90, as compared with 41 in 1876, and 16 in 1866. The total number of scholars, enrolled in Schools subject to Government supervision and examination, amounted to 5,844 in the year 1886, as compared with 2,922 scholars in the year 1876, and 1,870 scholars in the year 1866. It appears therefore that both the number of Schools under Government supervision in the Colony and the number of scholars attending such Schools have been doubled every decade since 1866. 3. Since the autumn of the year 1884, when, in consequence of local disturbances, the attendance in all the Chinese Schools suddenly fell off and many children were, in a panic, removed from the Colony to their homes on the mainland, the annual increase of Schools and scholars has come to a standstill. A fresh panic occurred in spring 1886 when, in consequence of an idle rumour to the effect that the Schools under Government were required to furnish a number of boys and girls to be buried alive in the tunnel of the Taitam water works, as the success of those works depended upon such a human sacrifice, most of the Chinese Grant-in-Aid Schools in the centre of the town were emptied of scholars for several days, until a proclamation of the Registrar General allayed the excitement. The fact that such a silly rumour found credence with numbers of Chinese mothers, is a striking evidence of the lamentably low state of female education in the Colony. Previous to the year 1885 there was, year by year, a steady annual increase observable in the number of Schools and scholars. This increase amounted, on an average, to 6 Schools and 472 scholars every year. But although the population has to' all appearance continued to increase year by year, and 5 new Schools were started in 1886 (balanced unfortunately by an equal number of Schools which had to be closed), the previous annual increase of Schools, and scholars has come to a standstill since 1884, as the subjoined table will show in detail.

　　4. Of the above mentioned 5,844 children, attending Schools under Government supervision in 1886, as many as 3,951 were placed by their parents in Missionary Grant-in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, whilst 1,893 children attended the Government Schools. Of the latter number, 610 attended the Government Central School, 910 attended the outside. Schools in town and villages, kept by the Government, and 382 children were under instruction in the small Village Schools kept by natives and aided by the Government (by a monthly grant). Details will be found in Tables I and II appended to this Report.

‧

536 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 14TH MAY, 1887.

　　　5. The expenses incurred by the Government, during the year 1886, on account of education in general, amounted (including the expenses connected with the Government Scholarship) to a total of $43,085.50 or $7.37 per head. The following details may be of interest. On the Central School with 610 scholars, the Government expended (apart from cost of buildings and repairs) the sum of $11,680.41 or $19.11 per head. The expenses of the other Government Schools, including the Aided Schools, amounted to $8,454.17 for 1,283 scholars or $6.59 per head. The Grant-in-Aid Schools with 3,951 scholars, cost the Government $14,324.76 or $3.62 per head. Further details will be found in Tables IV and XIII appended to this Report.

6. In addition to the above mentioned 5,844 scholars attending 90 Schools under Government supervision, there were, during the year 1886, according to a census taken by the District Watchmen, as many as 106 Schools (including also Night Schools) at work in town and villages, attended by 2,038 scholars. There were also about 180 scholars under instruction in 5 private European Schools. The total of scholars under instruction in Schools of all classes amounted, therefore, to 8,062 scholars distributed over 201 Schools. As the estimated population of the Colony now numbers about 181,702 souls, there were therefore 4.43 per cent. of the population enrolled in Schools of all classes. This does not favourably compare with the educational condition of England and Wales where 13 per cent. nor even with Ireland where 9 per cent. of the population attend School. But it is to be considered that we have here neither a Compulsory Education Act, nor any law providing adequate school accommodation in proportion to the population, and that a considerable proportion of the Chinese people residing in the Colony do not keep their families here but leave them on the mainland. Comparing the number of children of legal school-age (5-13 years) in England and Wales and in Ireland with the number actually in attendance, we find that in England and Wales somewhat over one half, and in Ireland less than one half, of those children who ought to attend school, actually come under instruction. Here in Hongkong we have no exact data to ascertain the number of children in the Colony who are of the local school-age (6-16 years). By a rough but rather high estimate (See Table XVI), I calculate that there were, during the year 1886, about 18,200 children in the Colony, who were from 6 to 16 years of age. Hence we see, as there were 8,062 children actually under instruction, that the pro- portion of children, who actually attend school, to those who are of the proper school-age, was in Hongkong, as in Ireland, somewhat less than one half. The difference, however, is this that in Ireland accommodation is provided in the National Schools for nearly the whole number of children of the legal school-age, whilst in Hongkong the accommodation provided falls short of the requirements of actual attendance. All our Schools are overcrowded whilst there remain about 10,138 uneducated children unprovided for. I believe there would be no difficulty in inducing about one third or possibly even one half of that number to attend school by simply providing the requisite school accommodation (and teaching staff) at the expense of the Government, though the other half would probably continue to be kept from school by stress of poverty. The majority of those 10,138 children remaining uneducated are, I believe, Chinese girls, and one of the principal causes of their remaining uneducated, year by year, is the fact that the school accommodation hitherto provided by the Government Schools and Grant-in-Aid Schools is still far below the requirements of the case.

7. The proportion of girls to boys under instruction in the Schools of the Colony continues to improve from year to year slowly but steadily. That this gradual advance of female education in the Colony is entirely the result of the successful working of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme and under it due to the alacrity and continued energy with which the several Missionary Societies develop that Scheme, will be seen from the subjoined Comparative Table.

　　From the above Table we see that in the Grant-in-Aid Schools the proportion of girls to boys has been steadily improving since 1873, and that in these Schools the girls form now nearly one half of the whole number of children in school. But although in the Grant-in-Aid Schools the normal proportion of girls and boys will in all probability be reached in a few years, the case is very different · in the other Schools of the Colony. Whilst in the Grant-in-Aid Schools the proportion of girls to boys is nearly 1 to 2, it is in the Government Schools like 1 to 18. Taking further into consideration all the known private Schools in the Colony, I find there are altogether 2,138 boys and 80 girls reported as having attended private Schools, not under the supervision of the Government. Accordingly we had, in the year 1886, altogether as many as 6,299 boys and only 1,763 girls under instruction in Schools of all classes, whilst it is pretty certain that there are nearly as many girls of the proper school-age in the Colony as there are boys. The needs of female education require therefore an extension of school accommodation. There is no room to doubt that the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, though expanding its sphere rather slowly, will gradually succeed in supplying the actual demands of female education in the Colony so far as the mass of the Chinese population is concerned. But as regards Schools for European children, whose education requires a more expensive staff and costly house accommodation, the Grant-in-Aid Scheme does not possess the same capabilities, because the demand of such special education, though urgent, is small and hedged in by various difficulties.

　　8. The results of the annual examination of the Schools under the supervision of the Government will be found detailed in the Tables appended to this Report, and, as far as the Government Central School is concerned, in the Report of its Headmaster, which will be found below. A few supplementary statistical details and general observations regarding the principal Schools and Classes of Schools may

be of interest.

　　9. The Government Central School was examined on the principles adopted several years ago and stated in former reports. The examination papers were set by the Headmaster and revised myself. The papers of the scholars were corrected and marked by the Headmaster and then forwarded to me to form an independent opinion thereon. With the exception of the marks allotted in the case of reading and in the case of all the subjects of the Anglo-Chinese Classes, (when the Headmaster noted results in consultation with myself), the subjoined Tables exhibit the results of the examination according to the Headmaster's own valuation of the merits of each paper.

10. In addition to the remarks of the Headmaster, which will be found in the third paragraph of his Report, I have to make but a few general observations concerning the Government Central School. Comparing the results of the Government Central School examination, as above tabulated, with the results of the previous year's examination, it is evident there has been in most classes a falling off in the following subjects, viz., English reading, dictation, and composition.. In all other subjects the School did. with the exception of Classes II, V and VI, as well as or better than last year. It is noteworthy that the subjects, in which there has been a considerable falling off, are the very subjects in which the Central School would naturally be expected to be, and to my knowledge is, deficient as compared with other Schools in the Colony, such as the Diocesan School, St. Joseph's College or the Hongkong Public School. As the vast majority of the boys of the Central School are Chinese boys who do not speak English nor hear English spoken out of school, and as the Central School gives a valuable portion of its time to Chinese teaching, the natural consequence is that the results obtained in the Central School in speaking and understanding English, and in English reading, dictation and composition are somewhat below the results obtained in other Schools, although the staff, organisation and method of the Central School are of a superior character. The Central School sends out annually a number of youths thoroughly well grounded in the rudiments of an English education, but the number of English speaking people in the Colony receives but a very small increase thereby year by year. A considerable proportion of the boys trained in the Central School

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　go abroad. Most of those who remain, enter into business relations where they have little opportunity of keeping up or adding to their stock of English knowledge and consequently they have soon but little more than a smattering knowledge of English left. The principal point, however, is that the results of the Chinese teaching, which encroaches so much upon the English, are decidedly disappointing. The vast majority of the Chinese boys enter the Central School to learn English, after having studied Chinese classics in purely Chinese Schools, for four years or so. Whilst they are studying at the Central School for some 6 or 7 years longer, a portion of their school time is devoted to Chinese studies. Yet the best that can be said of the results of the Chinese teaching given at the Central School is that, on the whole, it keeps up the amount of knowledge of Chinese which each boy brings with him on entering the School. When the present system was inaugurated, the Chinese who send their children to the Central School had but few Schools outside the Central School where their boys might keep up their knowledge of Chinese, and It was therefore necessary to teach in the Central School both the English and Chinese languages. But things are different now. Chinese parents are now universally convinced that their children must first get a good grounding in the Chinese language for some 3 or 4 years at least, before they send them to the Central School. There are now Schools enough in the Colony, both Day Schools and Night Schools, which answer the purpose of giving Chinese boys a preliminary grounding in Chinese and which would answer the purpose, by the system of Evening Schools, of advancing the Chinese knowledge of the boys of the Central School, and they would answer that purpose better than the Central School can do it. I am therefore of opinion that the time has come for relieving the English teaching of the Central School from the trammels imposed upon it by teaching the Chinese language in addition to English. If the ordinary school-hours were devoted exclusively to the subjects of an English education, the Chinese language being used only as a medium for teaching English (when required), the Central School would continue to keep ahead of all the other educational establishments in the Colony. There would be no difficulty, if required, to insist upon every Chinese boy, unacquainted with English colloquial, qualifying himself for admission into the Central School by passing an entrance examination in Chinese, equal to the third or fourth Standard examination of Chinese Grant-in-Aid Schools. Nor would there be any difficulty in teaching the classical Chinese language at the Central School, as an extra subject, out of the ordinary school-hours, on special appli- cation and by special teachers.

11. There is one other point connected with the future of the Central School which I deem it important to refer to. The fees charged at the Central School might well be raised after the completion of the new buildings, so as to pay at least two thirds of the working expenses of the School. Under the present system the children of wealthy and well-to-do Chinese are educated partly at the expense of tax-payers who cannot afford a similar education for their own children, and the low fees charged at the Government Central School put a handicap on private efforts in the sphere of education. Considering also that in other Colonies the desire is felt to enable the Government to withdraw, when practicable, from direct interference in educational efforts, it is quite within the horizon of probabilities that the Central School may at some future time be made a self-supporting institution under a governing body representing the taxpayers rather than the Government.

12. The Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Government, located at Sayingp'un, Wongnaich'ung, Wantsai, Stanley and Yaumati, continue to show fair results. Two of these Schools, located in town, are in charge of exceptionally good teachers and are every year besieged with crowds of applicants for admission who have to be refused for want of space and corresponding teaching power. In the villages, however, there is constantly a complaint that our teachers, if able to teach English, are incompetent as regards Chinese teaching, and the desire of the parents, based on the general experience that natives can ordinarily gain proficiency in English only at the expense of proficiency in Classical Chinese, generally is, that the Government should provide in Anglo-Chinese Schools a special teacher for each of the two languages. This has been done in the case of the two Schools located in town, but in the

540 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH MAY, 1887.

villages the number of scholars, desiring to learn both English and Chinese at the same time, is too small to justify the additional expense involved. The need of a Training School to provide teachers for the Government Schools (outside the Central School) makes itself constantly felt and this need is not likely to be supplied by the training class now formed in the Government Central School.

13. The work of those Government Schools and Aided Schools which give but a Chinese education in the Chinese language, has continued during the year 1886 its usual course, and calls for no special remarks. Special effort has been made, by allotting separate prizes at the annual prize-giving, to extend the teaching of geography and of Chinese composition in these Schools, and some improvement has taken place in these respects. In the case of one Aided School, that at Aberdeen, the unhealthiness of the locality, which compelled the Government to remove the Police Station, has also necessitated the removal of the School to the opposite island of Aplichau. In the case of another Aided School, that of Shamshuipo, where the Aided system year by year shewed very poor results, an attempt has been made to improve the School by the application of the Grant-in-Aid system. The first year's trial did not improve matters, but there is hope that in course of time better results may be obtained.

14. As regards the Grant-in-Aid Schools, the year 1886 has afforded fresh proof that the alter- ations introduced in the Grant-in-Aid Scheme in 1883, principally affecting schools in Class I (ie. Schools giving a Chinese education in the Chinese language) are beneficial. The subjoined Comparative Table, exhibiting the working of the Revised Scheme (of 1883) which came into operation in the year 1884, clearly proves, as far as Schools in Class I are concerned, that the desire of the Government to reduce the earning power of these inexpensive Schools (whilst increasing the pensum of work to be done under some Standards), and to encourage the teachers to bring more children under instruction in the higher Standards without skipping the lower ones, has been attained.

15. As regards the Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class III there are, this year also, but few special features calling for comment. The history and composition teaching in Schools in Class III continues to show improved results. The facility with which Chinese children, after five years' teaching of the Romanized system, write composition exercises in Romanized Chinese Colloquial, is quite equal to the average attainments of English children in the corresponding English subjects, whilst the same Chinese children would require additional five years' teaching to gain similar facility in expressing their thoughts in the written Chinese character. Nevertheless, I think, so far as practical utility is con- cerned, a child educated in a purely Chinese School in Class I, able to read and write a Chinese letter in the Chinese character, possesses a better training for practical life than the Romanized system, encroaching by the time it demands upon the time absolutely required for the teaching of the written Chinese character, can possibly give, unless the school-age is abnormally extended.

16. The Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class IV continue to improve year by year in organisation and effectiveness of teaching. It is noticeable that the Portuguese community are every year sending more and more children to pass first, for three or four years, through a purely Portuguese School before sending then to an English School. The more this movement extends, the more solid appear to be the results of the English teaching in the higher Standards. As regards the English Schools in Class IV, the Diocesan School and St. Joseph's College require special mention. The Diocesan School

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH MAY, 1887. 541

continues, as before, to distinguishitself by combining with solid teaching in the ordinary Standards also the special subjects of physic geography, algebra and euclid, good results being exhibited in every Standard. St. Joseph's Collge has made a new move, in the year 1886, which is a move in the right direction. Whilst formerly teaching Portuguese and. Chinese youths in separate classes, an arrangement has been made to confie this separate system to the lower Standards, and to move all Chinese scholars who have passed Sandard III into the European Division where now Chinese and Portuguese youths are taught side by side. By this arrangement, the Chinese gain the advantage of association with Portuguese who arebetter speakers of English, and the Portuguese gain at the same time the stimulus arising from emuation. The consequence of this measure was also a considerable increase of numbers in the Chinese Division. At the annual examination, this Chinese Division did very well in all subjects, and in some classes the English reading was exceptionally good. As to the European Division of St. Joseph's Coege, there has been manifest progress in all directions. Quarterly examinations were introduced in 186, in addition to the weekly examinations, and the organisation, method and discipline of this Division now leave little to be desired. The boys in Standard III were somewhat weak in grammar, and thce of Standard V in composition (principally in consequence of the admixture of Chinese), but the composition in Standard VI was very good on the whole, and so also the arithmetic in all Standards. The cheerful spirit animating all the classes of the European Division is, side by side with the strict iscipline of the whole School, a very noticeable feature of St. Joseph's College.

17. The needle-work examination as conducted in 1886 on the plan resorted to in 1885 and explained in my last Annual Report. The needle-work submitted for examination was done in my presence and then forwarded, together with a Schedule detailing the particulars of each child, to a Lady who chose her own Committee andadjudged the merits of each piece of work. This Committee reports having observed real progress mde since the previous year. The Committee find that most teachers have been very successful, butthat some seem hardly qualified for their position as needle- work teachers. In some cases the Committee were sorely puzzled, the needle-work done in the presence of the examiner being bad and dty while the other portion of the work was good and clean. It is possible that this may be account for by assuming that the children were nervous in the presence of the examiner, but even thatdoes not fully explain the very great difference noticed in some specimens of needle-work. The thnks of the Government are again due to the Lady and her Committee who conducted this needle-workxamination with such painstaking minuteness and scrupu- lous impartiality.

　　18. The educational movement of thColony received a considerable stimulus in the year 1886 by the introduction of the system of the 'ambridge Local Examinations and by the arrangements made for establishing a Medical School in canection with the Alice Memorial Hospital, admission to which may soon become a keenly contested pze, like the Scholarships of the Colony, if the students receive regular and progressive teaching. Wh the increase of stimulants tending to promote mental exertion, it behoves educationists also to keen eye on the encroaches which stimulated mental exertion is, especially in this climate, liable to take upon health, and to discern at an early stage what children are and what children are not fitted fo the severe and protracted exertion of the mind called forth by a multiplication of competitive examintions. In this Colony, where there is hardly any sphere for the industrial education of the childre of European and Portuguese residents, the tendency which Mr. GLADSTONE has described as the filt of modern education, is specially strong, viz., to overcrowd the professions that depend upon the md as distinguished from those dependent on the hand. There is serious risk in trying might and main to fit young people for the learned and clerical professions that they may be spoiled for handicraft nly in order to discover too late that they have not the natural gifts indispensable to success in the ore intellectual order.

　　"The Russian authorities shall admit as valid evidence records drawn up by the British authorities of the depositions of witnesses, or copies thereof, and records of conviction or other judicial documents or copies thereof: Provided that the said documents be signed or authenticated by an authority whose competence shall be certified by the seal of a Minister of State of Her Britannic Majesty.

"ARTICLE XII.

　　"The extradition shall not take place unless the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the said State, or to prove that the prisoner is the identical person convicted by the Courts of the State which makes the requisition, and that the crime of which he has been convicted is one in respect of which extradition could, at the time of such conviction, have been granted by the State applied to. And the fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered until the expiration of fifteen days from the date of his being committed to prison to await his surrender.

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

"ARTICLE XIV.

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

"ARTICLE XV.

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

"ARTICLE XVI.

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

"ARTICLE XVII.

"When, for the puposes of a criminal matter, not being of a political character, pending in any of its Courts, or Tribunals, either Government shall desire to obtain the evidence of witnesses residing in the other State, a "Commission Rogatoire" to that end shall be sent through the diplomatic channel, and which shall be executed in conformity with the law of the State where the evidence is to be taken.

"The Government which sends the "Commission Rogatoire" will, however, take all necessary steps and pay all expenses for finding and procuring the attendance before the Magistrate of the

witnesses named for examination in such Commission.

"ARTICLE XVIII.

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

　　"The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions may be made to the Governor or chief authority of such Colony or possession by the Chief Consular Officer of the Russian Empire in such Colony or possession.

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

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

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

"ARTICLE XIX.

"The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication, in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties at any time on giving to the other six months' notice of its intention to do so. "The Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London as soon as possible.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst it intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

SUPPLEMENT

To the HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE of 21st May, 1887.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 222.

The following Returns of Superior and Subordinate Courts for the year 1886, which were laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th ultimo, are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st May, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 30.

REGISTRY SUPREME COURT,

HONGKONG, 11th February, 1887.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith the following Returns:-

1. Return of the Establishment for the Blue Book for 1886.

2. Return of Criminal Cases, &c.

3. Return of Civil Cases commenced and tried in 1886:-

In Original Jurisdiction.

In Summary Jurisdiction.

Appeals.

Bankruptcy.

Admiralty.

4. Return of all Probates and Administrations granted in 1886.

5. Revenue Return.

6. Return of Intestate Estates paid into the Treasury in 1886.

7. Land Office Return.

With respect to the Criminal Returns it will be noted that there is a considerable decrease both in the number of cases and in the number of Prisoners tried.

There is a marked increase in the number of adjudication in Bankruptcy in 1886, the figures being 6 in 1885, and 22 in 1886. A large number of the Bankrupts were small Traders or Clerks who took refuge in Bankruptcy for the purpose of avoiding arrest, and obtain a discharge from their liabilities.

　　In the Revenue Returns the increase is chiefly accounted for by the receipts from Bankruptcy proceedings, Registration of Companies and Fines and Forfeitures.

The other Returns call for no remarks.

The Honourable

THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY,

&c.,

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

ALFRED G. WISE,

Acting Registrar.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a | practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

whom an information has been filed, to order a special jury to be summoned for the trial of any case. Upon the receipt of such notice or upon any such order being made the Registrar shall forthwith proceed to form the panel of such jurors, and to summon them in manner herein before provided.

19. After the jury shall have been sworn or charged with any prisoner or accused they shall be kept in some convenient place in Court apart by themselves, retirement of individual jurors for personal purposes only excepted, and then in charge of an officer of the Court, until the judge has summed up the evidence, and has left the case with the jury. Provided that in case and as often as the Court shall adjourn before the case shall have been so left with the jury, then such jury may if the Judge shall so direct, be removed in charge of an officer of the Court to some convenient place there to take refreshment at their own expense and rest until the Court shall reassemble, and such officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none save himself to speak to or to communicate with them without the express leave of the Judge. If after the case shall have been so left to the jury, and such jury shall desire to withdraw for the purpose of considering their verdict, then they shall be kept by such officer of the Court in some convenient place apart by themselves, but they shall be allowed reason- able refreshment at their own expense with power also to retire alone only for personal purposes, until they are agreed upon their verdict, or be discharged therefrom by the Court; and the officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none to have access to them, or speak to them himself except to ask whether they are agreed upon their verdict or O com- municate between them and the Court. Provided always that it shall be in the discretion of the Judge in all cases to dispense with any of the foregoing provisions, and in the event of any adjournment to direct the jury to be $ noved to some convenient place in the vicinity of the Court during such adjournment under the charge of the proper officer of the Court or to allow the jury to separate for such time and subject to such conditions as to the Judge may seem

fit.

20. The names of the persons drawn as jurors shall be marked on the list provided for in Section 16; and the cards with such names shall be kept apart by themselves-antil all the cards in the box shall have been drawn. Provided always, that if any case shall be brought on to be tried before the jury in any other case shall have brought in their verdict, it shall be lawful for the Court to order another jury to be drawn from the residue of the said cards for the trial of the case which shall be so brought on to be tried. Provided also, that where no objection shall be made on behalf of the plaintiff or prosecutor, or on behalf of the defendant or prisoner, or accused, it shall be lawful for the Court to try any case with the same jury that shall have previously tried, or been drawn to try any other case, or to order the name of any person on such jury, whom both parties may consent to withdraw or who may be justly challenged or excused by the Court, to be set aside and another name to be drawn from the box, and to try the case with the residue of such original jury, and with such person or persons whose name or names shall be so drawn and who shall appear.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1887.

in any case it may for any cause seem to be desirable to the Judge, he may direct the jury to further consider their

verdict.

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

27. No person who shall be put upon his trial either for treason, felony, or misdemeanour, shall be allowed to chal- lenge any of the jurors except for cause.

30. If any juror having been duly served with a summons, in accordance with the provisions in that behalf hereinbefore contained shall fail to attend, or being present shall not appear when called, or after appearance shall withdraw him- self without the permission of the Judge, the Judge shall, unless some reasonable excuse be proved on oath or affidavit or otherwise to his satisfaction, set upon the person so making default such fine, not exceeding the sum of One hundred dollars, as to the Judge shall seem meet.

the 21st day of February, 1877, and made between Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen VICTORIA of the one part, and CHRISTIAN WILHELM LOUIS and WILHELM HEINRICH DILTHEY as Trustees of The Rhenish Missionary Society of the other part, for the considerations in the said Lease mentioned Her said Majesty Demised, Leased, and to Farm let unto the said CHRISTIAN WILHELM LOUIS and WILHELM HEINRICH DILTHEY their executors, administra- tors and assigns, all that piece or parcel of ground situate, lying and being at Victoria, ir. the Island of Hongkong, in the said Indenture of Lease particularly described and registered in the Land Office as Inland Lot No. 24, together with all easements, profits, commodities and ap- purtenances whatsoever thereto belonging, except and always reserved as in the said Crown Lease is excepted and reserved, to hold the said piece or parcel of ground and premises thereby demised with their and every of their appurtenances unto the said CHRISTIAN WILHELM LOUIS and WILHELM HEINRICH DILTHEY their executors, admi- nistrators and assigns from the 25th of December, 1858, for the term of 999 years from thence next ensuing at the yearly Crown rent therein mentioned and subject to the covenants and conditions therein contained.

A Return of the summonses applied for by the Inspectors of Nuisances during the weeks ending the 30th April and 7th May, 1887, was laid on the table by the Secretary.

A Report on the subject of erecting free public latrines in the localities where such conveniences are most required was considered. It was agreed that the matter should stand over pending the completion of the plan of the proposed structures.

The Acting Registrar General having expressed an opinion that the overcrowding which exists in the Western Market should be dealt with by the Board, it was resolved that the Chairman, the Acting Registrar General and the Secretary should form a sub-committee to enquire into the subject and report to the Board.

The question of closing polluted wells was again considered. On the motion of the Colonial Surgeon, seconded by the Acting Registrar General, it was resolved that, in view of the early comple- tion of the new water-supply, no further steps be taken to close private wells which have been found by chemical analysis to be polluted, except in cases where it can be proved that the water has actually caused disease; and that the Acting Registrar General be invited to inform the owners of such wells as have been found to yield polluted waters that their wells are polluted, and that the waters from them should only be used for cleansing and flushing purposes.

　A letter (No. 114) from the Honourable the Colonial Secretary, concerning the publication of certain correspondence on the subject of the Public Health Bill was read. Resolved; that the correspondence together with a copy of the Bill transmitted by the Board to the Government as well as a copy of the Bill which has been read a first time in the Legislative Council be circulated among the Members of the Board.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

　　Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, Sir Horace Rumbold, a Baronet of Great Britain, Knight, Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, and Her Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to His Majesty the King of the Hellenes;

And His Majesty the King of the Hellenes, M. Stephen Dragoumi, Minister for Foreign Affairs; Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles :---

ARTICLE I

　　There shall be between the dominions and possessions of the two High Contracting Parties reciprocal freedom of commerce and navigation. The subjects of each of the two Parties shall have liberty freely to come, with their ships and cargoes, to all places, ports, and rivers in the dominions and possessions of the other to which native subjects generally are or may be permitted to come, and shall enjoy respectively the same rights, privileges, liberties, favours, immunities, and exemptions in matters of commerce and navigation which are or may be enjoyed by native subjects, without having to pay any tax or impost greater than those paid by the same, and they shall be subject to the laws and regulations in force.

ARTICLE II.

　　No other or higher duties shall be imposed on the importation into the dominions and possessions" of Her Britannic Majesty of any article the produce or manufacture of the dominions and possessions of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes from whatever place arriving, and no other or higher duties. shall be imposed on the importation into the dominions and possessions of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes of any article the produce or manufacture of Her Britannic Majesty's dominions and possessions, from whatever place arriving, than on articles produced or manufactured in any other foreign country; nor shall any prohibition be maintained or imposed on the importation of any article the produce or manufacture of the dominions and possessions of either of the Contracting Parties into the dominions and possessions of the other, from whatever place arriving, which shall not equally extend to the importation of the like articles being the produce or manufacture of any other country. This last provision is not applicable to the sanitary and other prohibitions occasioned by the necessity. of protecting the safety of persons or of cattle, or of plants useful to agriculture.

ARTICLE III.

　　No other or higher duties or charges shall be imposed in the dominions and possessions of either of the Contracting Parties on the exportation of any; article to the dominions and possessions of the other than such as are or may be payable on the exportation of the like article to any other foreign country; nor shall any prohibition he imposed on the exportation of any article from the dominions and possessions of either of the two Contracting Parties to the dominions and possessions of the other which shall not equally extend to the exportation of the like article to any other country.

ARTICLE IV.

　　The subjects of each of the Contracting Parties shall enjoy, in the dominions and possessions of the other, exemption from all transit duties, and a perfect equality of treatinent with native subjects in all that relates to warehousing, bounties, facilities, and drawbacks.

ARTICLE V,

　　All articles which are or may be legally imported into the ports of the dominions and possessions of Her Britannic Majesty in British vessels may likewise be imported into those ports in Hellenic vessels, without being liable to any other or higher duties or charges of whatever denomination than if such articles were imported in British vessels; and reciprocally all articles which are or may be legally imported into the ports of the dominions and possessions of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes in Hellenic vessels may likewise be imported into those ports in British vessels, without being liable to any other or higher duties or charges of whatever denomination than if such articles were imported in Hellenic vessels. Such reciprocal equality of treatment shall take effect without distinction, whether such articles come directly from the place of origin or from any other place.

In the same manner, there shall be perfect equality of treatment in regard to exportation, so that the same export duties shall be paid, and the same bounties and drawbacks allowed, in the dominions and possessions of either of the Contracting Parties on the exportation of any article which is or may be legally exported therefrom, whether such exportation shall take place in Hellenic or in British vessels, and whatever may be the place of destination, whether a port of either of the Contracting Parties, or of any third Power.

716

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND JULY, 1887.

ARTICLE VI.

‧

　　　No duties of tonnage, harbour, pilotage, lighthouse, quarantine, or other similar or corresponding duties of whatever nature, or under whatever denomination, levied in the name or for the profit of Government, public functionaries, private individuals, corporations, or establishments of any kind, shall be imposed in the ports of the dominions and possessions of either country upon the vessels of the other country which shall not equally and under the same conditions be imposed in the like cases on national vessels in general. Such equality of treatment shall apply reciprocally to the respective vessels, from whatever port or place they may arrive, and whatever may be their place of destination.

ARTICLE VII.

　　　In all that regards the coasting trade, the stationing, loading, and unloading of vessels in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, or rivers of the dominions and possessions of the two countries, no privilege shall be granted to national vessels which shall not be equally granted to vessels of the other country; the intention of the Contracting Parties being that in these respects also the respective vessels shall be treated on the footing of perfect equality.

ARTICLE VIII.

　　　Any ship of war or merchant-vessel of either of the Contracting Parties which may be compelled by stress of weather, or by accident, to take shelter in a port of the other, shall be at liberty to refit therein, to procure all necessary stores, and to put to sea again, without paying any dues other than such as would be payable in a similar case by a national vessel. In case, however, the master of a merchant-vessel should be under the necessity of disposing of a part of his merchandize in order to defray his expenses, he shall be bound to conform to the regulations and tariffs of the place to which he may have come.

　　　If any ship of war or merchant-vessel of one of the Contracting Parties should run aground or be wrecked upon the coasts of the other, such ship or vessel, and all parts thereof, and all furniture and appurtenances belonging thereunto, and all goods and merchandize saved therefrom, including any which may have been cast into the sea, or the proceeds thereof if sold, as well as all papers found on board such stranded or wrecked ship or vessel, shall be given up to the owners or their agents when claimed by them. If there are no such owners or agents on the spot, then the same shall be. delivered to the British or Hellenic Consul-General, Consul, Vice-Consul, or Consular Agent in whose district the wreck or stranding may have taken place, upon being claimed by him within the period fixed by the laws of the country; and such Consuls, owners, or agents shall pay only the expenses incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the salvage or other expenses which would have been payable in the like case of a wreck of a national vessel.

The goods and merchandize saved from the wreck shall be exempt from all duties of Customs, unless cleared for consumption, in which case they shall pay the same rate of duty as if they had been imported in a national vessel.

In the case either of a vessel being driven in by stress of weather, run aground, or wrecked, the respective Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents shall, if the owner or master or other agent of the owner is not present, or is present and requires it, be authorized to interpose in order to afford the necessary assistance to their fellow-countrymen.

ARTICLE IX.

All vessels which, according to British law, are to be deemed British vessels, and all vessels which, according to Hellenic law, are to be deemed Hellenic vessels, shall, for the purposes of this Treaty, be deemed British and Hellenic vessels respectively.

ARTICLE X.

The Contracting Parties agree that, in all matters relating to commerce and navigation, any privi- lege, favour, or immunity whatever which either Contracting Party has actually granted or may here- after grant to the subjects or citizens of any other State shall be extended immediately and uncondi- tionally to the subjects or citizens of the other Contracting Party; it being their intention that the trade and navigation of each country shall be placed, in all respects, by the other on the footing of the 'most favoured nation.

ARTICLE XI.

It shall be free to each of the Contracting Parties to appoint Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice- Consuls, and Consular Agents to reside in the towns and ports of the dominions and possessions of the other. Such Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents, however, shall not enter upon their functions until after they shall have been approved and admitted in the usual form by the Government to which they are sent. They shall enjoy all the faculties, privileges, exemptions, and immunities of every kind which are or shall be granted to Consuls of the most favoured nation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND JULY, 1887.

ARTICLE XII.

717

　　The subjects of each of the Contracting Parties who shall conform themselves to the laws of the country-

　　1. Shall have full liberty, with their families, to enter, travel, or reside in any part of the domi- nions and possessions of the other Contracting Party.

　　2. They shall be permitted to hire or possess the houses, manufactories, warehouses, shops, and premises which may be necessary for them.

　　3. They may carry on their commerce either in person or by any agents whom they may think fit to employ.

　　4. They shall not be subject in respect of their persons or property, or in respect of passports, nor in respect of their commerce or industry, to any taxes, whether general or local, or to imposts or obli- gations of any kind whatever other or greater than those which are or may be imposed upon native subjects.

ARTICLE XIII.

　　The subjects of each of the Contracting Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other shall be exempted from all compulsory military service whatever, whether in the army, navy, or national guard or militia. They shall be equally exempted from all judicial and municipal functions whatever other than those imposed by the laws relating to juries, as well as from all contributions, whether pecuniary or in kind, imposed as a compensation for personal service, and finally from every species of exaction or military requisition, as well as from forced loans and other charges which may be imposed for purposes of war, or as a result of other extraordinary circumstances. The duties and charges con- nected with the ownership or leasing of lands and other real property are, however, excepted, as well as all exactions or military requisitions to which all subjects of the country may be liable as owners or lessees of real property.

ARTICLE XIV.

　　The subjects of each of the Contracting Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other shall be at full liberty to exercise civil rights, and therefore to acquire, possess, and dispose of every description of property, movable and immovable. They may acquire and transmit the same to others, whether by purchase, sale, donation, exchange, marriage, testament, succession ab intestato, and in any other manner, under the same conditions as national subjects. Their heirs may succeed to and take possession of it, either in person or by procurators, in the same manner and in the same legal forms as subjects of the country; and in the case of subjects of either of the Contracting Parties dying intestate, their property shall be administered to by their respective Consuls or Vice-Consuls as far as is con- sistent with the laws of both countries.

　　In none of these respects shall they pay upon the value of such property any other or higher im- post, duty, or charge than is payable by subjects of the country. In every case the subjects of the Contracting Parties shall be permitted to export their property, or the proceeds thereof if sold, on the same conditions as subjects of the country.

ARTICLE XV.

　　The dwellings, manufactories, warehouses, and shops of the subjects of each of the Contracting Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other, and all premises appertaining thereto destined for purposes of residence or commerce, shall be respected.

　　It shall not be allowable to proceed to make a search of, or a domiciliary visit to, such dwellings and premises, or to examine or inspect books, papers, or accounts, except under the conditions and with the forms prescribed by the laws for subjects of the country.

　　The subjects of each of the two Contracting Parties in the dominions and possessions of the other shall have free access to the Courts of Justice for the prosecution and defence of their rights, without other conditions, restrictions, or taxes beyond those imposed on native subjects, and shall, like them, be at liberty to employ, in all causes, their advocates, attorneys, or agents from among the persons admitted to the exercise of those professions according to the laws of the country.

ARTICLE XVI.

　　The Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents of each of the Contracting Parties, residing in the dominions and possessions of the other, shall receive from the local authorities such assistance as can by law be given to them for the recovery of deserters from the vessels of their respective countries.

718

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND JULY, 1887.

ARTICLE XX.

　　　The present Treaty shall be ratified by the two Contracting Parties, and the ratifications thereof shall be exchanged at Athens as soon as possible.

HORACE RUMBOLD.

S. DRAGOUMI.

　　　AT the moment of proceeding this day to the signature of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Great Britain and Greece, the Plenipotentiaries of the two High Contracting Parties have declared as follow:

　　　Any controversies which may arise respecting the interpretation or the execution of the present Treaty, or the consequences of any violation thereof, shall be submitted, when the means of settling them directly by amicable agreement are exhausted, to the decision of Commissions of Arbitration, and that the result of such arbitration shall be binding upon both Governments.

　　　The members of such Commissions shall be selected by the two Governments by common consent, failing which each of the Parties shall nominate an Arbitrator, or an equal number of Arbitrators, and the Arbitrators thus appointed shall select an Umpire.

　　　The procedure of the arbitration shall in each case be determined by the Contracting Parties, failing which the Commission of Arbitration shall be itself entitled to determine it beforehand.

　　　The undersigned Plenipotentiaries have agreed that this Protocol shall be submitted to the two High Contracting Parties at the same time as the Treaty, and that when the Treaty is ratified, the agreements cotained in the Protocol shall also equally be considered as approved, without the neces- sity of a further formal ratification.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, au Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd July, 1887.

No. 47.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

HARBOUR DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 10th February, 1887.

SHIPPING.

　　　　2. Under this heading, in arrivals, there is an increase on the previous year of 879 steam-ships and 727,855 tons; a decrease in sailing vessels of 56 ships representing 23,268 tons; and in junks there is a decrease of 703 vessels with 44,354 tons.

　　　　3. The total number of arrivals in the Colony in 1886 was 27,222 vessels and 6,324,164 tons, or at the rate of about 74.6 vessels, averaging about 232 tons each, per diem, comprised as follows: 10.8 steamers; 0.8 sailing vessels; and 63.0 junks. This does not include the traffic between Victoria, and the outlying villages, nor that conducted in steam-launches.

　　　　4. Of the Nationalities of the various vessels there is an increase of 11 Austrian, 491 British, 109 Chinese (European built), 37 Danish, 37 French, 184 German, 13 Italian, 17 Norwegian, and a decrease of 57 American and 21 Spanish vessels.

　　　　5. Of the 4,251, European built vessels that arrived in 1886, 111 were American, 23 Austrian, 2,982 British, 142 Chinese, 55 Danish, 38 Dutch, 123 French, 676 German, 22 Norwegian, 33 Spanish, and other Nationalities in smaller numbers. It will thus be observed that vessels under the British flag absorbed 70 per cent. of the whole.

　　　　　6. Of the Countries with which this enormous trade is conducted, that with China and Formosa is the greatest, being 24,358 vessels and 3,923,953 tons, or an increase of 277,907 tons in British bottoms, an increase of 168,389 tons in foreign bottoms, excluding junks, but a decrease of 12,355 tons in junks. In British and foreign vessels there is an increased trade with Cochin China, and Japan. With the Philippine Islands, and Macao there is an increase in British vessels. The trade with the Island of Hainan and the Gulf of Tonquin shows a decrease of 36 vessels and 10,635 tons in British vessels, and an increase of 61 vessels and 23,265 tons under foreign flags. In arrivals from the

732 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 2ND JULY, 1887.

Continent of Europe, the trade is about the same in British vessels, while there is an increase of 37 vessels and 63,515 tons in foreign ships. From Great Britain, there is an increase of 12 vessels and 19,189 tons in British vessels, and no difference in the arrivals of foreign vessels from that Country.

7. The following Table shows the number and class of vessels arrived in the Colony in 1885 and 1886:-

8. These returns do not give more information than the number of vessels and their Registered tonnage whether with cargo or in ballast, so that the actual trade with the Colony is unknown.

9. Whether it is advisable that an Import and Export Office, similar to the one at Singapore, should be established at this Port is a question that the Chamber of Commerce might be disposed to consider. Such an Office would require quarters to be built, and a staff of proper Officers to perform the duties. It is a question of expense and whether such a Department, if created, would be to the advantage of the Mercantile Community. It certainly would make known what we have hitherto been in ignorance of.

JUNKS.

　　10. The junk trade for the year, excluding that with villages in the locality, shows a decrease of 703 vessels and 44,354 tons. From the Coast of China and Formosa, it is 486 vessels and 12,355 tons, and from Macao 217 vessels and 31,999 tons. The trade in junks with Canton suffered some- what in July of last year, consequent on the additional taxation of imports and exports; but the trade is gradually resuming its former condition. The trade with Macao also dropped at the same time, consequent on the Chinese Government exacting taxes on cargoes to that place in junks, and the trade has improved but very little since, nothing but rice and coals being now conveyed in junks from Hongkong to that Settlement. This taxation has led to increased steam communication between Hongkong, Canton and Macao.

EMIGRATION.

11. There is an increase of 7,005 emigrants to various places during the year, the Straits Settlements showing an increase of 11,136, while there is a decrease of 3,854 Chinese to San Francisco. 2,690 Chinese left for various places in the. Australian Colonies showing an increase of 343 on the previous year.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

12. Nine vessels were registered during the year, and eight Certificates of Registry were cancelled.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

13. Fifty-eight Cases were heard in the Marine Magistrate's Court during the year.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS, MATES AND ENGINEERS UNDER SECTION 15 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 2ND JULY, 1887. 733

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

15. The following Courts have been held during the year:

1. On the 19th February, 1886,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Douglas, Official No. 84,357 of Hongkong, on the White Rocks on the 11th February, 1886. The Master's (MATTHEW YOUNG) Certificate of Competency was suspended for four

months.

2. On the 10th March, 1886,-Inquiry as to the striking of the British Steam-ship Thames, Official No. 85,898 of Glasgow, on the South-west point of the Lyemoon Pass, on the 2nd March, 1886. The Master's (WILLIAM ARTHUR SEATON) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

3. On the 24th March, 1886,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Barque Bothwell Castle, Official No. 47,822 of Newcastle, N.S.W.. on the Reef surrounding Ngarik Island, Caroline Group, on the 21st December, 1884. There was not sufficient evidence before the Court to enable them to apportion any blame for the casualty. A Court of Inquiry was also held at Sydney on the arrival of the Master, Second Mate and two of the Crew at that Port. 4. On the 1st April, 1886,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Breconshire, Official No. 79,674 of London, on the White Rocks, on the 17th Mrach, 1886. The Master's (WILLIAM EDWIN POPE) Certificate of Competency was suspended for three months. 5. On the 19th April, 1886,-Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Venetia Official No. 68,388 of Glasgow, on Isaki Reef off Cape Tanabe, near Kobe, on the 26th March, 1886. The Master's (WILLIAM EDWARD LAWRENCE CLEMENT) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

6. On the 12th July, 1886,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Compton, Official No. 77,080 of London, on the South-west side of the Island of Balabac in the Palawan Passage, on the 12th June, 1886. The Master's (MATTHEW BRYCE WALKER) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

7. On the 30th August, 1886,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Madras, Official No. 70,626 of London, on a rock in the Bay within the West side of the Tai Chow Islands, on the 15th August, 1886. In the absence of the Master (HENRY PLENGE) who was washed overboard and drowned, and the Chief Mate's injuries having incapa- citated him from performing his duties, there was not sufficiently good evidence to enable the Court to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to the exact position of the rock on which the Madras struck, nor are the courses the ship is said to have been steered, very reliable. 8. On the 14th October, 1886,-Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Dafila, Official No. 68,501 of Sunderland, on the South Bank, Hainan Straits, China, on the

12th May, 1886. The Master's (JAMES MOONEY) Certificate of Competency was returned

to him.

9. On the 25th November, 1886,-Inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Greyhound, Official No. 81,647 of London, on a reef running out from Nan Sa Point in the Gulf of Tonquin, on the 2nd November, 1886. The Master's (THOMAS ABRAHAM THOMAS) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

‧

In the latter Case, the Court recommended that the attention of the Chinese Government be called to the want of lights and marks in the Hainan Straits, which has led to the stranding of several vessels.

SEAMEN.

16. 8,589 Seamen were shipped at the shipping Office during the year, and 9,229 discharged. 17. I am glad to see that provision is made in the Estimates for this year for the construction of a long wanted jetty off this Office, and I trust there will be no delay in building it. The present slipway answered very well when nothing but gigs were used, but it is only at certain times of the tide that a steam-launch can get in to land people, and the boats not unfrequently touch the ground to the injury of their keels and bottoms.

18. Provision has also been made for making Hunghom, a "Harbour Master's Station," under Section 38 of Ordinance § of 1879. Great inconvenience is felt by the Owners and Masters of boats frequenting that place, in having to go to Victoria or Yaumati report their arrivals and obtain their papers.

This Station will, I hope, soon be ready. At present an Officer has to visit Hunghom daily, but this is attended with much loss of time, expense, and inconvenience.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D.,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 286.

　　The following Finding of a Marine Court, appointed to inquire into the loss of the British Steam- ship Benledi, is published for general information.

By. Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th July, 1887.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

FINDING.

1.-That the British Steam-ship Benledi, 1,000 tons burden, Official Number 65,767, of Leith, of which JAMES LAWSON RIDDOCH, Number of Certificate of Competency 06200, was Master, left Swatow at 4.40 P.M. on the 18th June, with about 3,000 bags of Sugar, bound to Chefoo, and was wrecked on the Boat Rocks to the S.W. of the Lammocks Island Light-house at about 8.8 P.M. of the same day. ·

2. In the absence of any Logs or Charts used by the Master in the navigation of the ship, the

evidence as to courses steered and distance run is entirely from memory.

3.-The Master, according to his recollection, steered a course to take him, allowing three and a half miles for current, about three miles to the South of the Boat Rocks, and on the red light of the Lammocks being seen, he thought himself to the Southward and clear of those rocks.

4. Four Members of the Court agree that no blame is to be attached to the Master for the loss of the

ship.

5.-All the Members of the Court are unanimously of opinion that the Master left the ship too hurriedly, the weather was fine and there appears to have been ample time for the Master, Officers and Crew to have saved their own effects, the passengers' effects, ship's papers, logs, &c.; and we consider the Master is to blame for not remaining by the ship longer than he did, but the Court is not disposed to deal with his Certificate for this unnecessary haste. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 30th day of June, 1887.

‧

Report, Sub-section 5, Section 13, Ordinance 8 of 1879.

I am unable to concur in the conclusion the majority of the Court have come to as regards no blame being attached to the Master of the Benledi, for the loss of that ship. It appears to me a very suspicious circumstance, that, although there was ample time to save the ship's papers, log book, charts, &c., no document was produced to show how this vessel was navigated, the evidence given is therefore from memory only.

The Benledi left Swatow, and at 6.10 P.M. of the 18th June, a departure was taken from a point about 1 miles North of the Cape of Good Hope, with a bright light on it, showing a distance of 15 miles. The ship is said to have been steered a course that, without a current, would have taken her .6 miles South of the "Boat Rocks." No bearing of the Cape of Good Hope light was taken, in fact it is stated that it was not seen, although the ship ran for upwards of an hour within its range of light. As the ship was steering about East South East, occasional bearings of this light would have shewn if the ship was experiencing any unusual North-Easterly current.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JULY, 1887.

767

　　The "Lammocks Rocks" are marked by a white light, showing at a distance of 22 miles. There is also a red light on the Lammocks, visible from the Sea between N. 34° E. and N. 50° E., covering the "White," and "Boat Rocks," and placed there expressly to keep ships off them. The night was fine as the Master was able to take a bearing of the Pole Star to check his deviation, yet the Cape of Good Hope light was not seen at all, and the Lammocks white light (a 22-mile light) was only seen at 7.20 P.M., when the ship was only about 16 miles from it. The Cape of Good Hope and Lammocks white lights overlap each other for a distance of over 8 miles, and cross bearings of the two, assisted by an observation of the Pole Star for Latitude, would have shewn the ship's position very nearly.

　　As regards the red light, the chart, by which the Master says he navigated the ship, has the lines of light defined, and the words "are of visibility of the red light" marked on it, this arc is placed about mile to the South-Westward of the "Boat Rocks." The Master of the Benledi heard the red light reported when talking to the Chief Engineer. He went on the bridge, took a bearing of the light, told the Second Mate (Officer of the watch) not to come Eastward of his course, went to the Chart-room door (aft), speaking to the Chief Mate on the way, did not go into the Chart-room, but was about to return to the bridge. with, as he states, the intention of changing his course, when the ship, going 11 knots an hour, struck the "Boat Rocks" and became a wreck.

　　The red light is purposely and properly described on the Admiralty Charts, confining it to a narrow compass, to caution Navigators seeing it that they are in immediate danger, and any one accidentally bringing it in sight, and imagining himself farther from it than so described, in my opinion, assumes an unreasonable and dangerous responsibility.

　　The Master of the Benledi, when the red light was reported, instead of at once altering his ship's course to lose sight of that light, lost very valuable time, and with it his ship.

Fortunately in this case, the weather was fine, and there was no difficulty in rescuing the Passen- gers and Crew.

CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, MELBOURNE, 1888.

The Government of Victoria having determined to hold an Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures, Agricultural and Industrial Processes and Products of all nations. during the year 1888, to celebrate the Centenary of the founding of New South Wales, the first Australian Colony, His Excellency Sir HENRY BROUGHAM LOCH, Knight Commander of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Colony of Victoria and its Dependencies, &c., &c., did, on the sixth day of January, 1887, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, issue under the Seal of the Colony of Victoria a Commission authorizing measures to be taken for the holding of such Exhi- bition, and for the carrying out and superintending of the same.

In accordance with the powers vested in them by the aforesaid Commission, the Executive Com- missioners have decided to open the

CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, MELBOURNE, 1888,

on the FIRST DAY OF AUGUST, 1888, the said Exhibition to be kept open for six months, and closed on the THIRTY-FIRST DAY OF JANUARY, 1889.

The Exhibition will be held in buildings which have been specially erected for Exhibition pur- poses, situated in the Carlton Gardens, in the City of Melbourne, and in such other buildings and grounds attached thereto as may be found to be required; and it is intended that the Exhibition shall be open in the evening as well as during the day.

Acting under the powers conferred upon them, the. Commissioners desire to invite the British, Foreign, and Colonial Governments to take part in this Exhibition, and they trust that steps will be at once taken for the display of complete and thoroughly representative exhibits from every country and colony.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JULY, 1887.

During the

year 1885, Australasia, with a population of 3,500,000 imported from Great Britain goods to the amount of ￡32,000,000. The United States, France, and Germany, whose combined populations number 133,000,000, imported during the same period, from Great Britain, to the amount of ￡53,000,000. Calculated at per head of the population, Australasia therefore imported nearly 23 times as much as the above-named countries combined; and this in addition to a large and increasing trade with other countries.

The mileage length of Railways opened for traffic in the Australasian colonies amounts to 7,700 miles, and when the lines further authorized and now in course of construction are completed, they will reach a total length of 10,000 miles.

Already the capital cities of South Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria are connected by railway, the distance from Adelaide to Sydney, via Melbourne, being 1,100 miles. Between Sydney and Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, a further distance of 710 miles, there remain only about 100 miles of railway to be constructed to connect the capitals of the four principal colonies, and as the construction of this portion is now being rapidly proceeded with, there will soon be uninterrupted communication between Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, a distance of 1,800 miles.

In view of the remarkable growth of Australasia in all things relating to population, production, and general distribution of wealth amongst all classes, the facilities for rapid, economical, and easy transit, and its many other advantages, the Commissioners confidently invite all desirous of extending their commercial relations with these rapidly-extending communities to exhibit the fullest and most complete representations of their Raw Products, Skilled Industries, and Arts, at the CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, MELBOURNE, 1888.

CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, MELBOURNE, 1888.

The Executive Commissioners desire to encourage the display of machinery in motion, and of all descriptions of manufactures, &c., in progress, and they will endeavour to provide adequate power to meet all reason- able demands.

22. The Executive Commissioners will take precautions for the safe preservation of all objects in the Exhibition, but will be in no way responsible for damage or loss of any kind, or accidents by fire or otherwise, however caused.

Jurors will be reimbursed such personal expenses as may be allowed by the Executive Commis-

sioners. The Jurors' reports and the Executive Commissioners' awards will be based upon the inherent and comparative merits of the individual exhibits, the elements of merit being held to include considerations relating to originality, invention, discovery, utility, quality, skill, workman- ship, fitness for the purposes intended, adaptation to public wants, economy, cost, and im- portance of interests involved.

Each report must be delivered to the Secretary to the Executive Commissioners as soon as

completed. Awards will consist of gold, silver, and bronze medals, and certificates of honorable mention, together with a special report of the Jurors on the subject of the award. A certificate will accompany each medal.
