GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 10.

The following report from the Director of the Observatory, is published for general information

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th January, 1888.

FREDERICK STewart, Colonial Secretary.

RESULTS OF FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS CONCERNING TYPHOONS.

A pamphlet on The Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas, adapted for the use of the shipping ar embodying practically all that is now known about typhoons, was issued in September last year.

A distinguished German nieteorologist in reviewing this pamphlet makes reference to the similarit which exists between the typhoons in the Far East and the hurricanes of the West Indies. An lifferences which may be ascertained must, I believe, be ascribed to dissimilarity between the coastline and islands, as the former. more especially, are found to have so great an influence on atmospheri isturbances.-The West India hurricanes may be divided into four classes. Those of the first class pas WNWestward to the south of Hayti and strike the coast of the mainland south of the norther promontory of Yucatan. Those of the second class pass generally NWestward and enter the Unite States. While those of the third class recurve generally between the West Indies and the Bermuda and pass away to the NE. Hurricanes of the fourth class, moving obliquely towards the equator in low latitude. are very rare.

My investigations on the typhoons in the past four years furnish already an insight into the sub-classes into which the different kinds of typhoons may be divided in the future. Thus the simi- larity between the paths of Typhoons V of 1885 and IV of 1886, Typhoons VI of 1885 and X of # 1886, Typhoons XVII of 1884 and XVI of 1886, Typhoons X of 1885 and XVII of 1886 may be pointed out, the latter being particularly remarkable, so much so that doubts might reasonably have been entertained about its reality if the case had occurred but once.

Stormpaths in tropical seas are of a very simple nature,-much more so than in the case of minor depressions anywhere or storms in the temperate zones,-as long as the course lies far from any shore. That irregularities occur may be seen from such paths as are furnished by Typhoons VIII and XV of 1886. However there are while the typhoon is far from the shore seldom observations enough available to indicate small irregularities with certainty.

Whether a typhoon ever crosses the Pacific and Canada and reaches Europe is not known for certain. It is of course within the range of possibility, but must be doubted till clearly proved.

The coasts of China and Corea are now well furnished with stations. Wenchow in 28° 0′ N, 120° 35′ E with observations made at 9 a, 3 p and 9 p daily was added on the 1st September, 1886, and Chemulpo in 37° 29′ N, 126° 37′ E on the 1st November, 1886. Observations made every three hours were commenced on the 5th July, 1885, and were discontinued on the 27th February, 1887, in Port Hamilton in 34° 0′ N, 127° 20′ E.

The part of the Far East best supplied with meteorological stations is of course the Empire of Japan. One of the localities from which very poor information was hitherto available was the Philippine Archipelago, but the subject has now been taken up officially since a new Government Observatory was constructed. Meantime the want has been to some extent supplied by telegrams twice a day from Manila, by English volunteer-observers in Bolinao and Iloilo and by extracts from the logbooks of ships trading in the Archipelago.

Thunderstorms occur occasionally all round the centre of a typhoon in the ring of high pressure and gentle gradients beyond the area where the wind is fresh. Nearer the centre but before the wind begins to rise the clouds generally assume the form of Roll-cumulus which prevails till full typhoon force is reached. The mean monthly height of the mercurial column is scarcely lowered in conse- quence of the typhoons as the high pressure all round the typhoon counter-effects the low pressure near the centre. The monthly mean solar radiation is lowered both with regard to intensity and to duration, while the true air-temperature, the tension of water-vapour and the rain-fall are increased. The mean force of the wind is increased very considerably in months when typhoons approach the neighbourhood.

When the wind rises in a typhoon it blows in gusts and the mercury heaves. in the barometer. In a strong gale the mercury fluctuates frequently three hundredths of an inch at intervals of perhaps about four minutes. But there is no heaving when the wind is not strong even if the centre is very close to a vessel. When the wind has attained storm-force it blows in fierce squalls of perhaps about ten minutes duration, while the mercury heaves up and down as much as eight hundredths of an inch. In these squalls the wind veers or backs in the direction towards hich it is going to change owing to the progressive motion of the centre of the typhoon. As a general rule it may be said that the mer- cury gives a jump upwards when the wind begins to veer in the squall. Then it drops down and gives another jump upwards, while the winds shifts back to its original direction. But the mercury has been observed to behave in the opposite way occasionally and this point deserves furthon in mo

rule a fraction of a degree and sometimes much more. But the wind does not return to quite its original direction. There is frequently a change. At the time when the centre is pissing nearest to a vessel, a fierce squall is frequently entered in the log-book. The existence of a line of squalls perpen- dicular to the path of a storm-centre is well known in the storms that cross the British Isles.

　　　It is remarked that typhoons often arrive in quick succession followed by intervals without typhoons, but during the height of the typhoon-season there is generally a typhoon to be found some- where at any time. The following table exhibits the number of typhoons that occurred during the past three years within squares of 2° extent in longitude and latitude :-

　　South of 11° latitude the typhoons move on an average NWestward. Between 11° and 15° they move NN Westward between 15° and 22° Northwards, between 22° and 30° NNEastward and north of 30° about NEastward. But it must be remembered that there is comparatively little information available about the paths to the East of the Philippines. If the data were as extensive there as in the China Sea the southern half of the mean path would probably be shifted to the East, and the mean curve would look more like a parabola. The mean curve given above must therefore be considered to represent the mean path of typhoons encountered, not the actual mean path of typhoons. By and by we may be able to lay down the mean path of each class of typhoons, and of typhoons in each month of the year.

The longitude in which typhoons are most frequently encountered, is 125° E. The latitude is 180 N. But there is a slight secondary maximum in 331° N.

The gradients, expressed in parts of an inch in 15 miles, corresponding to different forces (f) of the wind in typhoons have been calculated (ge), and compared with the values (g.) deduced from a comparison of the observed values by aid of Ferrel's formula in the following form:-

sino sec i 1667

873 r

B v

30 [1 + 0.002 (t?32)]

in which designates the latitude, i the complement of the angle between the wind and the gradient, v the velocity of the wind in miles an hour, r the distance from the centre in miles, B the height of the barometer in inches, reduced to 32° and mean sea-level, and t the temperature of the air in degrees Fahrenheit. B is assumed=29, t=80, 4-20° and i-45°:

　　　　The first part of the expression for go exceeds the second as long as the force of the wind is below a moderate gale. Thereafter the second part, depending upon the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, exceeds the first, which may be neglected when storm-force is reached and has no appreciable influence when it is blowing with full typhoon force

Assuming:

sino sec i B

and b=

50010 [ 1 + 0.002 (t?32)]

26190 [1 +0.002 (t-32).]

the velocity of the wind corresponding to a certain gradient in a certain latitude is determined by a quadratic equation having only one positive root :--

(

a2r

The strongest typhoon during the past three years and perhaps as strong as any hurricane ever en- countered was that experienced on board of the S. S. Airlie in 12° N on the 16th July, 1885, when the gradient rose to about an inch in 15 miles. To gain an idea of the velocity of the wind in that typhoon the simple formula :-

gr 2b

　　suffices. According as r is assumed to have been 50 or 60 miles, we obtain v equal to 158 or 173 miles, and the velocity of the wind must therefore have reached about 150 miles an hour.

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 Suraames, will be published and sold separately.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. -No. 19.

The following Minutes of the Sanitary Board are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th January, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

　　Minutes of the Proceedings of the Sanitary Board at a meeting held in the Board Room on Wednesday, the 21st of December, 1887.

PRESENT:

The Honourable the Surveyor General, (Chairman).

The Registrar General.

The Colonial Surgeon.

Dr. PATRICK MANSON, LL.D.

The Honourable A. P. MCEWEN.

Major T. C. DEMPSTER.

Dr. JAMES CANTLIE.

Mr. WM. EDWARD CROW, (Secretary).

Dr. Ho KAI.

ABSENT:

The Minutes of the meeting held on the 6th of December, 1887, were read and confirmed.

　　1. A return of the Summonses applied for by the Inspectors of Nuisances during the fortnight ending December 17th, 1887, was laid on the table by the Secretary. The Return showed that 52 prosecutions had been instituted, that in 51 cases convictions had been obtained, and that fines to the amount of $120 had been inflicted.

　　2. A petition from the meat-stall holders in the Sokonpoo market praying for the re-establishing of the Eastern Slaughter-house was considered. Resolved.--The Board are of opinion that it is very desirable to concentrate the landing and slaughtering of all cattle in one single place in order to secure efficient supervision, and recommend therefore that for the present no new slaughter-house or cattle pen be erected in the Eastern district more especially as the consumption of meat in that district appears to be limited to 2 bullocks and 18 pigs a day.

Mr. McEwEN dissented from the recommendation as he considered that it would be a great boon to the inhabitants of the Eastern district, including the Military who are quartered there, to have a separate slaughter-house and also because be considered the present slaughtering place at West Point inadequate.

　　3. Returns by the Registrar General showing the number of births and infantile deaths during the Months of September and October were laid on the table by the Secretary.

　　4. The Secretary submitted a statement of the number of cases of Small-pox reported at the Sanitary Office during the months. Resolved,That a Sub-Committee consisting of the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. MANSON, Dr. CANTLIE, the Registrar General, and the Acting Sanitary Inspector be appointed to consider the steps that should be taken for stamping out the disease.

The Board then adjourned.

Read and confirmed, this 10th day of January, 1888.

Secretary.

　　　Who, having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles :-

ARTICLE I.

　　　The Contracting States are constituted into an Union for the protection of the rights of authors over their literary and artistic works.

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.

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JANUARY, 1888.

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 regards 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 Articles 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 com- mencement 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.

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.

66 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JANUARY, 1888.

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 revisions 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.

　　　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.

Final Protocol.

　　　　In proceeding to the signature of the Convention concluded this day, the undersigned Plenipoten- tiaries have declared and stipulated as follows:

　　　　1. As regards Article IV, it is agreed that those countries of the Union where the character o artistic works is not refused to photographs, engage to admit them to the benefits of the Con- vention 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 pro- tection 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 arrangements between those who have legal rights.

　　　　2. As regards Article IX, it is agreed that those countries of the Union whose legislation impli- citly 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 manufacture 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 Con- federation.

The Official language of the International Office will be French.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JANUARY, 1888.

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 authorizing, 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 Admistration of the country where a Conference is about to be held, will prepare the pro- gramme of the Conference with 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 administra- tion, 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

Fourth

Fifth Sixth

25 units.

})

　　　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 Inter- national 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

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1888.

SANITARY BOArd Room, 24th January, 1888.

SIR,---I have the honour to submit for the information of the Government the following report on the steps that have been taken to meet the epidemic of small-pox now raging in the Colony and to furnish in the form of an appendix a few tables showing the rise, decline, and subsequent growth of the disease from the beginning of last year.

1.- HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION.

In the early part of December when it became evident to the Civil Medical Staff that the disease was taking an epidemic form and that the permanent hospital with 8 beds at West Point would not suffice for the number of cases that would probably be sent there for treatment, a matshed with provi- sion for 16 patients was erected within the Small-pox Hospital grounds. In a few days this building was full, and as the ground allotted for small-pox wards would not allow the addition of any more wings, a part of the Civil Hospital recreation ground was enclosed to admit of the erection of two matsheds with appliances for 50 and 25 patients respectively. The Goverment Small-pox Hospital therefore provides for the reception of 99 patients. On Saturday, the 21st instant, there were 52 beds available for fresh cases.

In addition to this, the Government have sanctioned the conversion of the top storey of the Lunatic Asylum into wards for the treatment of European female patients. Of the 5 beds so provided 3 were unoccupied on the 21st instant.

As a reserve, the Lazaretto at Stone Cutters' Island, the use of which had been temporarily lent to the Military Authorities, has been vacated by the soldiers, and is now available for use at any mo- ment if required.

　　　　The Tung-wa Hospital authorities state in reply to an enquiry by the Registrar General that 76 patients can, if necessary, be treated in their small-pox wards in Taipingshan. On the 21st there were 26 vacancies in this institution.

The total Hospital accommodation, exclusive of the Lazaretto, therefore, provides for 180 cases or one bed for about every 1000 of the estimated Civil Chinese and European population of the whole Colony.

2.-COMPULSORY NOTIFICATION.

On the 13th December the draft of a proposed Bye-law to be made under section 12 of Ordinance 7 of 1883, for making the notification of small-pox compulsory, was drawn up and circulated for the favourable consideration of the Members of the Sanitary Board. This regulation, which met with the unanimous approval of the Board, received the sanction of the Governor in Council on the 17th ultimo, and was forthwith published in English and Chinese in the newspapers and further promulgated by the distribution of posters and handbills throughout the Colony.

The issuing of this new Bye-law has enabled the staff to obtain precise information as to the course of the outbreak and to take steps for the disinfection of premises that could not possibly have been done in the absence of compulsory notification.

3.-VACCINATION.

　　　　The Sub-Committee of the Sanitary Board appointed on the 21st of December to consider this matter and consisting of the following:-

The Colonial Surgeon,

Dr. PATRICK MANSON, Dr. JAMES CANTLIE, The Registrar General, and the undersigned,

met the next day at the Alice Memorial Hospital and resolved:-

1. That vaccination stations be established at the Government Civil Hospital, the Alice Memorial Hospital, and another in the Wan-tsai district, and that the Tungwa Hospital authorities be invited to conduct vaccinations daily.

2. That a sum of money be set aside to be used, if necessary, for rewarding parents who might be willing to bring their children for the removal of vaccine after a successful operation.

3. That the community be informed by Proclamation in English, Portuguese, and Chinese of the places and hours of vaccination as soon as arrangements could be completed for securing the necessary supplies of vaccine lymph.

In order to give effect to the recommendations of the Sub-Committee, letters were despatched to the Colonial Secretary, the Honorary Secretary of the Alice Memorial Hospital, and to the Committee of the Tung-wa Hospital, and after receiving favourable replies in support of the Sub-Committee's re- commendations, a sum of $50 was lodged at both the Civil and Alice Memorial Hospitals to be used for inducing parents to bring their children for furnishing a supply of lymph; and notifications in

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1888.

English, Portuguese, and Chinese were freely circulated informing the public that vaccinations would be conducted daily at these institutions between the hours of 2 and 3 P.M.-Saturdays and Sundays · excepted.

The Tung-wa Committee informed the Registrar General that their Doctors considered it unneces- sary to vaccinate every day, but that they would be happy to co-operate with the Board and vaccinate as often as possible. A notice in Chinese was at once issued by the Committee informing the public of the vaccination days in Victoria, Aberdeen, Yaumati, and Shaukiwan, and calling on persons of all ages to attend without delay. Parents were especially enjoined to bring their children. The Tung-wa Committee are themselves paying the gratuities offered to mothers for bringing their babies for fur- nishing the supply of lymph.

The following table shows the number of vaccinations already performed:-

Total,....

..1,666

I have no information as to the percentage of successful vaccinations to operations performed. The scarcity of tube lymph has rendered it difficult for the various vaccinators to conduct as large a number of operations as would seem desirable, and the offering of a reward of $1 to parents, for allowing the withdrawal of lymph from their children after a successful operation, has only met with a limited degree of success.

The Board is indebted to the Manager of the Hongkong Dispensary for much information con- cerning the supplies of lymph expected to arrive during the next few months, and, for placing at its disposal on very liberal terms, 100 tubes of Japanese calf lymph which has been chiefly employed by the Colonial Surgeon and the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital as a source of supply for the vac- cination of the Police and the prisoners in Victoria Gaol.

4. LYMPH SUPPLY AND CULTIVATION.

Messrs. A. S. WATSON and Co. state in reply to an enquiry by the Board that, 500 tubes of infant lymph or part thereof will probably arrive by the next English Mail, and that 12 tubes will arrive by every succeeding Contract Mail for one month, after which 100 tubes will arrive by every English and French Mail.

In addition to this, the Government are obtaining from Australia through the assistance of Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE 30 tubes of calf lymph which will probably arrive by the S.S. Chingtu within a fortnight. A further supply is also expected by every "China Navigation" steamer leaving Australia within two months after the departure of the Chingtu.

　　An experiment is being made by the Inspector of Live Stock to cultivate calf lymph. Two calves have been obtained and lodged in the observation shed at Kennedy Town, but Mr. Ladds, who has used for the operations on these animals specimens representing two shipments of Japanese calf lymph, is as yet unable to speak positively as to the success or, failure of the operations. If the calf lymph fails, it will be necessary to inoculate the animal with infant lymph.

5. DISINFECTION OF WASH-CLOTHES.

　　The native washermen were summoned by the Registrar General more than a week ago, and examined as to the practicability of this measure and all expressed their readiness to disinfect the various clothes sent to their establishment to be washed. Accordingly, a 2 gallon jar of Jeyes' Fluid with instructions in Chinese as to its use as a disinfectant of laundry-linen has been issued to each washermen to the number of more than 60. The Registrar General has made arrangements for the regular visitation by the District watchmen of the wash-houses to see that the instructions of the Board are carried out. To prevent damage being done to articles of a delicately coloured nature, which can, with no great difficulty be washed by household servants, a notification has been issued warning the public to exercise judgment in sending such fabrics to the laundries.

6. DISINFECTION OF HOUSES, &c.

　　As a general rule whenever a case of small-pox has occurred in a house the room vacated by the patient is at once fumigated by burning sulphur therein. In some cases this fumigation is not done until many days have elapsed since the disease first made its appearance. This is due to the fact that in a large percentage of cases, the patient remains under treatment in the house and consequently no disinfection of the tenement is possible until the patient has recovered. In some Chinese cases the registration of the death is the only notification, consequently a delay of several days may occur be- tween the date of the removal of the body and the day of fumigation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1888.

The following is the procedure when a notification of small-pox reaches this office from a Police Staton :--

(a.) If the patient expresses a desire to go into hospital, or if a certificate from a Medical practitioner is received to the effect that the patient is improperly lodged, an officer of the Board calls at the house and tenders his services for expediting the patient's removal. If the patient objects to go into hospital then the Magistrate is applied to for an order under section 5 of Ordinance 7 of 1883. The fumigation and limewashing of the room is then effected as speedily as possible generally within 24 hours and sometimes within an hour or two of the patient's removal. The Nuisance Inspectors who are entrusted with this duty invariably convey the patient in a regulation small-pox ambulance unless the person prefers to walk, and they have all received strict orders from me to assist the Police in preventing the removal of infected persons in licensed jinrickshas and chairs.

(b.) In cases where simply a notification of the disease reaches this Department, an Inspector calls at the house and enquires how many persons are affected, their age and nationality, and also the number of families residing in the tenement. The Inspectors are enjoined to supply whatever disinfectants may be required, and to impress on those in charge of the sick the necessity of maintaining the strictest isolation.

A Notification in English, Portuguese, and Chinese requesting the public to inform the under- signed of the earliest day on which a room vacated by a patient can be fumigated and limewashed,

has also been issued.

Mention might here be made of the fact that the bedding and clothing used by patients in the Government Small-pox Hospital is effectively disinfected and washed within the precincts of the Hospital and that such bedding and clothing when unfit for further use is burnt.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

WM. EDWARD CROW, Acting Sanitary Inspector,

and Honorary Secretary

to Sanitary Board.

The following Paper from the Medical Department of the Privy Council Office, on the subject of Re-vaccination, which has been transmitted to this Government by the Right Honorable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, is published for general information.

RE-VACCINATION.

By vaccination in infancy, if thoroughly well-performed and successful, most people are completely insured, for their whole life-time, against an attack of small-pox; and in the proportionately few cases where the protection is less complete, small-pox, if it be caught, will, in consequence of the vaccination, generally be so mild a disease as not to threaten death or disfigurement. If however the vaccination in early life have been but imperfectly performed, or have from any other cause been but imperfectly successful, the protection against small-pox is much less satisfactory; neither lasting so long, nor while it lasts being nearly so complete, as the protection which first-rate vaccination gives. Hitherto, unfortunately, there has always been a very large quantity of imperfect vaccination; and in consequence the population always contains very many persons who, though nominally vaccinated and believing themselves to be protected against small-pox, are really liable to. infection, and may in some cases contract as severe forms of small-pox as if they had never been vaccinated. Partly because of the existence of this large number of imperfectly vaccinated persons, and partly because also even the best infantine vac- cination sometimes in process of time loses more or less of its effect, it is advisable that all persons who have been vaccinated in infancy should, as they approach adult life, undergo RE-VACCINATION. Generally speaking, the best time of life for re-vaccination is about the time when growth is completing itself, say from 15 to 18 years of age; and persons in that period of life ought not to delay their re-vaccination till times when there shall be special alarm of small-pox. In proportion, however, as there is prevalence of small-pox in any neighbourhood, or as individuals, are from personal circumstances likely to meet chances of infection, the age of 15 needs not be waited for; especially not by young persons whose marks of previous vaccination are unsatisfactory. In circumstances of special danger, every one past childhood, on whom re-vaccination has not before been successfully performed, ought without delay to be re-vaccinated.

Re-vaccination, once properly and successfully performed, does not appear ever to require repetition. The nurses and other servants of the Small-pox Hospital when they enter the service (unless it be certain that they have already had small- pox) are invariably submitted to vaccination, which in their case generally is re-vaccination, and is never afterwards repeated; and so perfect is the protection, that though the nurses live in the closest and most constant attendance on small-pox patients, and though also the other servants are in various ways exposed to special chances of infection, the Resident Surgeon of the Hospital, during his thirty-four years of office there, has never known small-pox affect any one of these nurses or servants.

The brilliancy of the streams, which are commonly red at their base, green in the middle, and light yellow towards the zenith, increases, and at the same time they dart with greater vivacity athwart the skies. The colours are wonderfully transparent; the red approaching to a clear blood-red, the green to a pale emerald tint.

At length the kangaroo becomes re-assured, drops upon its forepaws, gives an awkward leap or two, and goes on feeding. Meantime the native advances stealthily and by slow stages, with his arm raised in the attitude of throwing his spear, until he is within reach of his prey.

The wily native keeps clear of its inurderous embrace, and kills it by throwing spears into its breast from the distance of a

few yards.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION-No. 41.

　　　　The following Annual Report of the Postmaster General, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 25th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th January, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE. HONGKONG, January 3rd, 1888.

　　　　SIR, I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during 1887.

2. There is not much to record, nor indeed, as far as Hongkong is concerned, can there be much in the way of progress to record until the Department ceases to be cramped by a wholly inadequate building. The limits of development of the service in the existing structure have been fully reached, nor can any marked improvement of organisation be expected until room is provided for a larger staff and more extended operations. Economy of space has been carried so far in the Hongkong Post Office that any modification of detail which necessitates a shelf, a small table, or indeed any place to put anything, has become all but impossible. If the space required is more than a few feet, such a modification is quite impossible.

3. How little the staff of the Post Office has grown with the growing necessities of the service may be seen from the following statement of the Hongkong portion of the staff of this Department, in 1875 when the present writer took charge of it, and in 1887, respectively;-

1875.

Hongkong Staff only.

1 Postmaster General.

1 Assistant do

1 Accountant.

1 Money Order Clerk.

2. Marine Officers.

2 Chinese Assistants for Marine Officers.

6 Clerks.

3 Senior Chinese.

6 Postmen.

8 Coolies.

4 Boatmen.

1887. Hongkong Staff only.

1 Postmaster General.

1 Assistant do.

1 Accountant.

2 Money Order Clerks.

3 Marine Officers.

2 Chinese Assistants for Marine Officers.

7 Clerks.

3. Senior Chinese.

7 Postmen.

6 Coolies.

4 Boatmen.

35.

Total salaries $20,400.

37.

Total salaries $22,740.

　　　　　4. It appears from the above that during twelve years there has been an increase in the Staff of two persons, and in the annual expenditure of $2.340, or not quite $200 a month. This increase is more than accounted for by the extra money order clerk, by a clerk for parcels, and by the additional Marine Officer. This latter appointment was necessitated, not by an increase in the work, but because it was found to be, in conjunction with the travelling and constant change of climate, too severe for only two officers. Two Marine Officers died at their posts. Even with three, one of whom is always doing three months shore duty, the strain on health is very perceptible.

5. This slight increase in the personnel of the Department, obtained, as is always the case, with the greatest difficulty, has been nothing like sufficient to keep pace with the growing wants of the community. Nearly stagnant from 1865 to 1875, this Colony in the latter year took a fresh departure, and has been increasing steadily ever since. Steamer traffic grows every year, new Ports have been opened in our neighbourhood, new mail lines have been established. The French Packets, which in

104 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 28TH JAN., 1888.

1875 brought ten or twelve half-empty bags of correspondence, now bring from ninety to a hundred full ones, our largest inward mail in fact, which, unfortunately, necessarily arrives unsorted. In 1875 we had Money Order relations only with the United Kingdom, and the duties were attended to by a clerk who was expected to perform his full share of ordinary Postal work as well. Now we exchange Money Orders with nearly all the world, and the duties are discharged, with daily increasing difficulty, only by the continuous attention of two clerks, who have to be detached from all other duties. Parcel Post has been introduced within the last two years, and, whilst it is most useful and successful, it forms a serious addition to the general work of the Office, and to the daily demand for more space. The total number of letters, papers, &c. passing through the Hongkong Post Office in 1875 probably fell short of 900,000. The total for 1887 is estimated at 2,200,000. The work of the Department is only got through, and that with extreme pressure and difficulty, by long and severe hours of duty, by excessively hard work, and by the superior officers joining in manual labour which, in most other places, would be performed by men at twenty-five shillings a week.

6 But it is when the Chinese Staff of the Office is considered that it is seen how completely inadequate is the provision of hands, in comparison with the work to be done. In the Local or Municipal Post Office of Shanghai, which undertakes nothing but the reception and distribution of local correspondence, and of that exchanged by steamer with certain Ports immediately corresponding with Shanghai, the work is carried on by the following Chinese staff under the superintendence of two Europeans:-

3 Senior Chinese.

17 Postmen and Coolies.

2 Rickshaw Coolies. 4 Boatmen

The Municipal Post Office at Shanghai is one of seven Post Offices by which the correspondence of that Settlement is dealt with, and it is furnished with twenty-six Chinese. The Hongkong Post Office does the whole of the Postal work of Hongkong, inward, outward, and local; prepares and passes on the mails for all China and Japan; acts as a centre between those countries and the Straits, India, America and Australia; sorts both the English and French mails for Shanghai; and is furnished with twenty Chinese. The amount of correspondence passing through Shanghai may be taken, with fair accuracy, to be about half of that passing through Hongkong. The whole l'ostal work of Shanghai is performed by 13 Europeans and 48 Chinese, that of Hongkong by 17 Europeans and 20 Chinese. Moreover the only two really heavy mails for Shanghai are sorted in Hongkong.

7. The Municipal Post Office at Shanghai can, naturally, establish hourly deliveries, and effect them with great regularity and satisfaction to the public. The Hongkong Post Office effects with difficulty three deliveries a day, with an extra delivery after dark when necessary; and, when there is a rush of either inward or outward mail work, delivery has to be suspended altogether, the services of the postmen who should go out with correspondence being indispensable indoors.

　　　. The directions in which the organisation of the Hongkong Office should now be developed are these-

(a.) The improvement of local delivery.

(b.) The collection of correspondence from steamers, and a quicker landing of contract

mails, by means of a steam-launch belonging to the Department.

(c.) An enforcement of the monopoly of the Post Office with regard to outward corres

pondence, more particularly Chinese.

The third of these has been waiting for time and opportunity, but the other two are absolutely de- pendent on the provision of a larger building. Local delivery cannot be improved without a Chinese staff at least double of what we have at present. There is not room in this building for a single additional Chinese. Instead of adding to the existing overcrowding, it should be abated. And it is worse than useless to collect correspondence from steamers unless there are the means of delivering it at least as quickly as the steamer agents can deliver it themselves. Similarly, this Department could not work a steam-launch to advantage without two Europeans to relieve each other in the duty of boarding vessels on arrival. They would have to live on the premises, for which no ingenuity could arrange in the present building. In fact almost every attempt to improve the service in any way is blocked by the same condition, more room.

　　9. To fully develope the internal Postal service of this Colony there will be needed ere long four small sub-offices, viz., one at the east and one at the west end of the town, one at Kowloon and one at the Peak. Pillar boxes will also have to be established at convenient spots on the routes leading to these suburbs. All this would pay its own expenses and more, but it is useless to attempt it without a sufficient central staff to receive and distribute the correspondence.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 28TH JAN., 1888. 105

10. International Statistics, to regulate the payments for sea and territorial conveyance of mails during three

years were taken during the first twenty-eight days of November, and, so far as is known. up to this date, with regularity and success.

11. The date at which this Report has to be sent in makes it impossible to detail the Revenue of the Department for 1887, which will not be definitely ascertained for some months to come. Probably, however, there will be some improvement on the Revenue for 1886, which was as follows:-

‧

6,973.12

....

33,136.49

8,379.38

$134,734.72

12. We have ceased to expect a profit on the working of the Post Office. That there is still a balance to the good is mainly due to the Parcel Post. During the year the following parcels have been dealt with (not including local parcels, of which no separate account is kept.)

13. The largest Parcel Mail was that despatched on November 8th, the Christmas Mail, by which 329 parcels, weighing 631 lb. net were forwarded. The next largest was that despatched on November 22nd, the New Year Mail, by which 265 parcels, weighing 487 lb. net were forwarded. The largest inward Parcel Mail consisted of 408 parcels, weighing 892 lb.

14. Two parcels were confiscated in London, one for containing reprints of books copyright in the United Kingdom, the other for containing cigars which it was attempted to smuggle under a false declaration. The cigars were addressed to a lady, probably to divert suspicion of the real nature of the contents of the parcel.

15. The exchange of Parcels with the Continent by German Packet is steadily though slowly increasing. At first only four or five parcels were sent or received by each mail, now the average is about twenty. A box containing eight parcels was lost in the Oder.

16. The reduction of postage on coast and local parcels effectel some time since has been the means of attracting a considerable business in the transmission of such parcels, which are now carried at five cents a pound including Registration.

17. It is hoped ere long to have Parcel Post arrangements in force with the principal Australian Colonies. The Victorian Government, which, as controlling the P. & O. line from Melbourne to Colombo, is the first to be consulted, has accepted the proposals of this Office, and it is hoped that the system may be at work within two or three months. An exchange of parcels by the direct Torres Straits steamers was proposed to Queensland, but the internal legislation of that Colony does not permit of its adoption.

　　　　18. A direct exchange of Parcels with Canada via Vancouver has also been proposed. The Canadian Post Office replied that when the mail service between Vancouver and Hongkong has been put on a permanent footing the question will be considered.

19. It has been shown in paragraph 12 that, exclusive of local exchanges, 9,407 parcels passed through this Office in the course of the year. Although the contents of many of these were of con- siderable intrinsic value, no parcel has been lost, nor has any local parcel been lost.*

The reason is

not far to seek. Although parcels are not technically considered as Registered Articles, yet practically and to all intents and purposes, they are Registered. Persons who talk "the stuff that makes one sad and almost sick," as to how they never register their letters, "it only serves to call attention to them." would do well to consider the fact that upwards of nine thousand parcels, often containing such objects as watches, rings, bracelets, &c., with the contents and value marked on them, have been transmitted safely under Registration during the year, whilst it is believed that nearly every letter containing such objects and posted without Registration has been stolen, not necessarily here, nor even necessarily in the Postal service, but still stolen, somewhere.

20. If it were as possible to prevent the sending of unregistered money letters through the Post as it is to prevent the sending of unregistered parcels, letter-stealing would disappear. It is kept up and perpetuated by the persons referred to in the last paragraph, who not only do wrong them-

* Eleven Registered Letters are believed to have been destroyed by an explosion on board the Formosa on December 26th,

106 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 28TH JAN., 1888.

　selves, but also persuade others to do so. If only money letters were stolen, the senders might well be left to reap the consequences of their own carelessness, but unfortunately the letters of innocent people are stolen on the chance or on the supposition that they contain money.

　　　21. It may be questioned whether the detective measures taken by many Postal Administrations in the way of sending test letters and laying other traps for Post Office thieves do not do more harm than good. Every time a letter-carrier is convicted, the public begin to think that now, at last, they may send money letters with safety. They are soon undeceived. So far at least as Post Offices where the subordinates are Chinese are concerned, it will NEVER be safe to send money or valuables through the Post unregistered, and it is believed to be at once the kindest and the justest course to avoid any useless show of an attempt to make it so. Such attempts only foster a disas- trous illusion, and intensify the evil they are intended to cure. To countenance the promiscuous sending of money letters, and yet attempt to put down thefts by detective measures, is like planting a noxious weed, and then snipping at it with scissors. The public have it in their power to cut the weed at the root by ceasing to send unregistered money letters. It is believed that the refusal of this Department to make any enquiry into alleged cases of theft of unregistered money letters has reduced that class of correspondence very considerably. If these remarks should deter one additional person from sending money in unregistered covers they will not have failed of their object. And, if they do not deter him, the loss of his money very speedily will.

22. As it appeared doubtful whether the direct route via Aden for correspondence for the South African Colonies was working as satisfactorily as formerly, experiments were made by the despatch of test covers, as to the real time occupied in transit. The result was as follows:-

To Cape Colony, To Natal,

Via Aden.

Via London.

50 days.

76 days.

57 days.

69 days.

Correspondence for these Colonies is therefore now forwarded exclusively by way of London.

23. In view of the inconvenience caused by the departures of the steamers of the Pacific Mail- Company and Occidental and Oriental Steam-ship Company on the same days as the Mails for Europe, the two Companies promised that they would, in arranging their Schedule for the present year, do all in their power consistently with the rules they have found it necessary to observe, to avoid a repetition of this conflict of dates. The good offices of the Companies have been so far successful that, in their Time Table for the first half of this year, there are only two coincidences.

24. It would be very desirable if the occasional despatch of the German Packet on the same day as the French Packet could also be avoided. It deprives the public of much of the advantage of a supplemental opportunity to be obliged to make use of it within a few hours or not at all.

25. The outward French packets now remain here only twenty-four hours, an arrangement causing a severe strain on the strength of this office,* which has only a few hours of daylight to get the whole mail for Shanghai sorted and packed, amidst the numerous distractions always arising from the recent arrival of a contract mail. On one occasion the newspaper portion of the Shanghai mail was unavoidably sent up unsorted. That was on August 4th, a day

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　That was on August 4th, a day on which three Contract Mail Packets left this Colony, an'l two were expected to arrive. Fortunately one arrival did not take place till the following morning.

26. It is feared that, under the new P. and O. contract, the stay of the outward Packet here will also be only twenty-four hours.

27. If the sorting of mails for Shanghai is to be continued under these circumstances, some re- inforcement of the staff will be inevitable, but this is a subject which can be well considered when the question of the surrender or otherwise of our Post Offices in China to the Chinese Government is settled. No decision on this point has yet been arrived at by the Imperial Government.

28. It will be necessary to make provision for a re-organisation of the Amoy Post Office in case we retain the control of it. It is impossible to continue working it much longer in its present under- manned condition. The duties of the Postal Agent at Amoy depend upon the incessant and constantly increasing steamer traffic of that Port, and have been much added to by the establishment of direct steam communication between Amoy and Manila, and between Amoy and Batavia. For Manila alone steamers leave Amoy on the average every three days. The Postal Agent has, during the past year, collected and accounted for Revenue to the amount of $9.403.60. He has sold $7,837 worth of stamps. He has despatched 5.353 Registered Letters and received 4,831, making a total of 10,184 Registered articles, every one of which needed individual attention and necessitated several entries in books, &c. This gives an average of 28 Registries each day, including Sundays, but sometimes as The Agent has dealt many as 125 Registered Articles will be despatched to Manila by one steamer.

* On Christmas day the clerks in charge of the Shanghai mail were at work from 2 P.M. till midnight, and were required at 7 the next morning for the ordinary work of the Office.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 28?? JAN., 1888. 107

with 325 parcels, and has sold Postal Notes to the amount of $1,312. He has dealt, without any assistance except that of two Chinese who cannot read English, with over 200,000 articles of ordinary correspondence, say 550 per day, Sundays included. His Office is the point of distribution for Tamsui, Kelung, Taiwanfoo, and Takao, the service of which places involves much correspondence and attention to detail. It can scarcely be thought that $40 a month is a sufficient salary to pay a gentleman, who has other duties to attend to, for the amount of work, responsibility, watchfulness, and care, involved in keeping up such an Office as is described above All through the year, we have been continually on the verge of a deadlock at Amoy caused by the not unnatural reluctance of officers of the Consular service to undertake a post the work of which is out of proportion to the pay. Only by the good offices of H. M. Consul in prevailing on members of his staff to take the duties as a personal favour to himself has such a deadlock been prevented. If the Amoy Office continues to be worked from Hongkong it is hoped that its complete reorganisation will be allowed.

29. Arrangements were made, during the year under report, to induce a more general prepayment of the correspondence which it is the custom to send here by steamers outside the mails. The measures taken were necessarily of a stringent kind, but it was intended to relax them as soon as the end in view was attained. This was accomplished before the setting in of the inevitable outcry, which had been all along foreseen by this Department; and the sending of unpaid letters on board steamers was practically put a stop to, and less stringent rules introduced, before any complaint was made. This Office, at any rate, is no longer periodically flooded with unpaid correspondence, nor will the wholesale transmission of such unpaid correspondence through the Post be allowed to be resumed.

3. The Governor shall appoint such duly qualified per- sons as he may deem fit, to be Public Vaccinators within the Colony, and shall appoint such local stations or places within the City of Victoria and in the Villages of Hong- kong and Kowloon as he may deem expedient for the pur- poses of public vaccination, and such Public Vaccinators shall vaccinate gratis all persons who may come to them at such local stations or places for that purpose, and at such times and subject to such Rules and Regulations as may, under the provisions of this Ordinance, be issued by the Governor in Council in that behalf.

It shall be lawful for the Governor to appoint some Medical Practitioner whose duty it shall be to examine gratuitously children on whose behalf are claimed certificates of unfitness for successful vaccination under this section and to grant or withhold such certificate in his discretion.

7. The Registrar General shall enter in the Registry of Births kept by him the word Vaccinated opposite the name of every child whose vaccination has been certified, and the word Insusceptible opposite the name of every child who has been certified, as herein provided, to be insus- ceptible of vaccine disease.

8.

RE-VACCINATION.

By vaccination in infancy, if thoroughly well-performed and successful, most people are completely insured, for their whole life-time, against an attack of small-pox; and in the proportionately few cases where the protection is less complete, small-pox, if it be caught, will, in consequence of the vaccination, generally be so mild a disease as not to threaten death or disfigurement. If however the vaccination in carly life have been but imperfectly performed, or have from any other cause been but imperfectly successful, the protection against small-pox is much less satisfactory; neither lasting so long, nor while it lasts being nearly so complete, as the protection which first-rate vaccination gives. Hitherto, unfortunately, there has always been a very large quantity of imperfect vaccination; and in consequence the population always contains very many persons who, though nominally vaccinated and believing themselves to be protected against small-pox, are really liable to infection, and may in some cases contract as severe forms of small-pox as if they had never been vaccinated. Partly because of the existence of this large number of imperfectly vaccinated persons, and partly because also even the best infantine vac- cination sometimes in process of time loses more or less of its effect, it is advisable that all persons who have been vaccinated in infancy should, as they approach adult life, undergo RE-VACCINATION. Generally speaking, the best time of life for re-vaccination is about the time when growth is completing itself, say from 15 to 18 years of age; and persons in that period of life ought not to delay their re-vaccination till times when there shall be special alarm of small-pox. In proportion, however, as there is prevalence of small-pox in any neighbourhood, or as individuals are from personal circumstances likely to meet chances of infection, the age of 15 needs not be waited for; especially not by young persons whose marks of previous vaccination are unsatisfactory. In circumstances of special danger, every one past childhood, on whom re-vaccination has not before been successfully performed, ought without delay to be re-vaccinated.

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.-Read the following Message from His Excellency the Governor:-

G. WILLIAM DES VOEUX.

　The Governor has given his careful consideration, in Council, to the question recently raised by the Honourable Mr. MACEWEN with regard to the sittings of the Finance Committee. He is informed that for a long time past, nothing has occurred at any of the meetings of the Committee, which might have not been published without prejudice to the Public Service, and he moreover strongly sympathizes with the view that discussions on votes of public money should, as a rule, be held in public. On the other hand the practice of private sittings has the sanction of long usage, and though the advantages which it possesses, or the conditions. that make it expedient, are not for the moment apparent, they must be presumed at one time. to have existed and as therefore possible of recurrence. For this reason the Governor does not feel justified in sanctioning a complete alteration of the practice at once, but thinks that an experiment may safely be tried, which while making a sensible advance towards publicity, will permit of private sittings when they appear for any reason expedient.

130

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1888.

It is proposed therefore that for the future the meetings of the Finance Committee shall, as a rule, be held with open doors, and that all votes be passed in public, it being however competent for any member, either by previous notice or otherwise, to secure a private discus- sion of such vote or votes as inay appear to him to require it. As the principal reasons for or against every vote can under such a system always be elicited in the public hearing, either in the. Finance Committee or in the Legislative Council, it is hoped that all reasonable de- mands for publicity will thus be satisfied.

On the other hand in the event, which the Governor does not deem probable, of the new practice proving by experience to have inconveniences which outweigh its obvious advan- tages, it will not be found difficult to return to that which has been hitherto followed.

Government House, Hongkong, 3rd February, 1888.

SUBSIDIARY COINS.-Mr. MACEWEN, pursuant to notice made the following motion and addressed the Council:-

That in consequence of the frequent inconvenience caused to the Public owing to the insuffi- ciency of the supply of Small Coins, the Council recommend increased quantities to be regularly sent out. Mr. MacEwen will also move for previous correspondence on the subject.

RE-VACCINATION.

By vaccination in infancy, if thoroughly well-performed and successful, most people are completely insured, for their whole life-time, against an attack of small-pox; and in the proportionately few cases where the protection is less complete, small-pox, if it be caught, will, in consequence of the vaccination, generally be so mild a disease as not to threaten death or disfigurement. If however the vaccination in early life has been but imperfectly performed, or has from any other cause been but imperfectly successful, the protection against small-pox is much less satisfactory; neither lasting so long, nor while it lasts being nearly' so complete, as the protection which first-rate vaccination gives. Hitherto, unfortunately, there has always been a very large quantity of imperfect vaccination; and in consequence the population always contains very many persons who, though nominally vaccinated and believing themselves to be protected against small-pox, are really liable to infection, and may in some cases contract as severe forms of small-pox as if they had never been vaccinated. Partly because of the existence of this large number of imperfectly vaccinated persons, and partly because also even the best infantine vac- cination sometimes in process of time loses more or less of its effect, it is advisable that all persons who have been vaccinated in infancy should, as they approach adult life, undergo RE-VACCINATION. Generally speaking, the best time of life for re-vaccination is about the time when growth is completing itself, say from 15 to 18 years of age; and persons in that period of life ought not to delay their re-vaccination til times, when there shall be special alarm of small-pox. In proportion, however, as there is prevalence of small-pox in any neighbourhood, or as individuals are from personal circumstances likely to meet chances of infection, the age of 15 needs not be waited for; especially not by young persons whose marks of previous vaccination are unsatisfactory. In circumstances of special danger, every one past childhood, on whom re-vaccination has not before been successfully performed, ought without delay to be re-vaccinated.

Re-vaccination, once properly and successfully performed, does not appear ever to require repetition. The nurses and other servants of the Small-pox Hospital when they enter the service (unless it be certain that they have already had small- pox) are invariably submitted to vaccination, which in their case generally is re-vaccination, and is never afterwards repeated ; and so perfect is the protection, that though the nurses live in the closest and most constant attendance on small-pox patients, and though also the other servants are in various ways exposed to special chances of infection, the Resident Surgeon of the Hospital, during his thirty-four years of office there, has never known small-pox affect any one of these nurses or servants.

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 i? 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 CENTRAL SCHOOL,

HONGKONG, 16th January, 1888.

SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on this School for 1887.

1. The total number of boys on the Roll for the past year was 601. The school days numbered 234, the difference from last year being accounted for, by the four days special holiday, given by His Excellency the Governor, in November in connexion with the celebration of Her Majesty's Jubilee.

ANNUAL EXAMINATION.

　　　　　3. The result of the Annual Prize Examination in English subjects, just held, is eminently satis- factory. Only 9 boys failed out of 384 examined, in other words 97 per cent passed. As this is the last Annual Examination which will be held in this school building, the history of which extends over a quarter of a century, I may be pardoned for dwelling on this signal success, which forms a fitting crown to the labours of so many years. It will be remembered that on my arrival, six years ago, after examining the school I expressed my astonishment and gratification at the attainments in English of the Chinese, who form the vast majority of Central School boys. Since then, no stone has been left unturned, steadily and get without undue haste, to raise the standard. English Composition was introduced into the 4th class; translation from and into Chinese was made obligatory in every class; English Grammar and Geography were extended three classes lower. The result of this exten- sion is shown in the present examination; of the 314 boys examined in English Grammar 90 per cent.

158 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 11TH FEB., 1888.

passed, while 94 per cent. passed of the 110 examined in English Composition; and I may say that for idiom of expression and thoughtfulness in ideas the essays presented by these Chinese boys-who, it must be remembered, do not associate with English, out of school hours, cannot fail to be considered admirable. Making comparison with the percentage table of last year, I observe a higher percentage obtained by the school this year in every subject, except Map-Drawing which is about the same figure. Special improvement is noticeable in Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography, Euclid, Algebra, General Intel- ligence Papers and Mensuration.

　　4. The severity of the test applied to the classes in this school precludes all possibility of any comparison being instituted with work done in any other school in the Colony. Not only are there no Special Optional subjects-every subject, Euclid, Algebra, Latin, Physical and Commercial Geography, taught in any class being compulsory to every boy in that class, but the examination in Grammar is not, as in the Grant-in-Aid System, confined to Analysis Parsing and Definitions, nor in Geography to Map drawing and Definitions; on the contrary searching general questions are set, more after the type of the Oxford and Cambridge Local Examinations; nor must I forget to mention the two papers. translation from and into Chinese, in each class, which prove such a stumbling-block to non- Chinese boys, and so ruthlessly handicap them in the race for prizes. The system I adopted on my arrival, and which I have since maintained, is that to pass in each subject a boy must obtain at least half-marks, and failure in more than half the subjects of his class makes a boy a complete failure. This year there were 15 subjects in the First Class, as opposed to 8 subjects in 1882; therefore this year, a boy required for a bare pass, as much as would have gained him excellent distinction six years ago. If this School had been examined on Grant-in-Aid principles, we could have presented 69 boys in the highest Standard, Standard VI; 41 in Standard V; 102 in Standard IV; 100 in Standard III; 52 in Standard II; and 20 in Standard 1; moreover Copy-writing would have been taken into account for 274 boys, instead of merely for the 70 boys at the bottom of the school.

　　5. The Upper School was examined in a first year's work in Latin, the same paper was set to all three classes, and though the questions were stiff, very creditable answers were obtained. Class I was examined in three books of Euclid; and in Algebra offered Surds, Scales of Notation, &c. up to Har- monical Progression. Class IV passed excellently in Algebra and Euclid.

STAFF.

　　6. Mr. ARTHUR, Third Master, was transferred to the Magistracy, early in the year. He was a tho- roughly efficient, successful, and popular teacher, able to maintain excellent discipline without any ostentation, and having no need to resort to severity. In the important subject of English Reading and Pronunciation, which, to those not practically engaged in teaching English to foreigners, might appear easy, he was unrivalled. The school was fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr. JAMESON, a graduate of Peterhouse Cambridge, whose engagement at another school happily terminated at the time of Mr. ARTHUR's transfer. Mr. JAMESON laboured strenuously throughout the year, with what success may be estimated from the fact that only one boy failed, out of the three classes in his charge, which comprised 126 boys. On April 1st Mr. Mok, 3rd Chinese Assistant was transferred to the Registrar General's Office, Mr. CHU took his place, and Mr. Lo KIT was promoted from Senior Pupil Teacher to be 4th Chinese Assistant. In my report on the requirements of the New School forwarded twelve mouths ago, I drew special attention to the injury done to the school, by Masters, English and Chinese, leaving on account of dissatisfaction with salaries, and I trust that my suggestions on this head will meet with the approval of the authorities.

　　7. That the whole Staff deserves credit for the past year's work is evident from the results of Examination given above; but I wish to bear any testimony to the important fact, of which I alone can be cognisant, that in this school, there is no spasmodic cramming at the end of the

with a year, view to dazzling effect; but steady uniform work, willingly and cheerfully performed consistently throughout the year. As in the New School a larger amount of responsibility in teaching will fall into the hands of the Chinese Assistants, I desire to draw particular attention to the good results obtained by the four classes V-VIII, which were entrusted to the care of the four Chinese Assistants. The excellent papers, in most instances, done by these boys, in English Grammar, Geography, Dicta- tion and Arithmetic show that there is no ground for apprehension, that English subjects cannot be adequately taught by Chinese.

　　8. I have received from Mr. JAMESON, Master in charge of the Preparatory School, a very favour- able report of the work done by the six Articled Pupil Teachers. This is very satisfactory, and marred alone by the fact, that one of the Pupil Teachers gave evidence of persistent neglect of his First Class studies, which culminated, as might naturally be expected in a pass, which can only be viewed as discreditable.

CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATION.

　　9. The six candidates who entered for the Cambridge Local Examination in 1886 acquitted them- selves well. The Senior candidate passed in Arithmetic, English Grammar, Composition, and History, Geography, Euclid, and Algebra, but failed in Scripture. As a Chinese, he had natural difficulty with this subject, but his experience has led him to devote more attention to it for the late examination,

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 11TH FEB., 1888. 159

Of the five Juniors, HOWARD and MADAR obtained certificates and have therefore the distinction of being the first Hongkong boys to obtain that honour; two others WONG FAN and WONG PING failed only in History and Geography, or it may be in only one of these as particulars were not given. The remain- ing boy was incapacitated by fever. That the boys themselves considered this result encouraging is evident from the fact, that they all entered for the late examination; MADAR abandoned the project only on leaving school, and five new boys swelled the number. In October last the Colonial Secretary, Hon. F. STEWART, LL.D., presented the parchments to the two successful candidates, for it seemed specially appropriate that the late Headmaster should perform in his old school a ceremony, that occurred for the first and last time, and which will prove a prominent link between this school and the new college.

　　　　　10. I cannot refrain from here taking the opportunity to defend the Local Examinations against two serious imputations, cramming and competition, that have been laid to their charge. Cramming is the process by which a man of experience reduces, for the sake of his pupils, the wide area of any given subject, by judiciously selecting those portions, on which questions are likely to be set. This method is open to the obvious objection that first principles and sound basis are sacrificed to show results in answer to Catch Questions. Now when year after year, bodies of examiners, like the Oxford Delegates and Cambridge Syndicate set forth varied questions, testing the knowledge of rudiments in each subject, as well as embracing the highest achievements, and at the same time distinctly state that each candidate must satisfy the examiners in Rudimentary knowledge in each subject--to talk of cram- ming in connexion with these examinations merely argues want of information in those who hazard the statement. As regards the Central School, this charge is simply ludicrous; the local candidates study their subjects in a class of 60 boys; only one hour a week, in the afternoon, is allowed for in- structions in each of the special subjects (as Shakespeare and the Epoch of History) and for instruction in Higher Euclid and Algebra.

　　　　　11. The idea of Competition is foreign to the purpose of local examinations, which is to provide one standard for boys educated in different schools on widely varying principles. Each boy does his best to pass well, and if possible to obtain distinction; but there is no personal emulation to urge him to outstrip any particular boy, which is the necessary element of competition as applied to school-boy life. Unfortunately, however, the attempt has been made, to raise the spirit of competition, not among scholars but schools. Such a feeling should not be admitted for a moment; not only is there no con- test, but there is actually no uniformity of conditions. One school may send in all the boys in certain classes, another may offer only selected candidates. One school may have a large staff of masters, another may be without this advantage. It is not the custom in England, as far as my personal know- ledge reaches, for comparison to be made between the results in different schools in the same town. Whatever wholesome emulation may be personally stirred among the masters, no comparisons are drawn between the results (say) of a Grammar School and of a Board School, nor between the latter and those of a Denominational School; nor in fact would it be possible as the basis of comparison is wanting.

OLD SCHOLARS.

　　　　　12. In the past year we were gratified by the news of Mr. WALTER BOSMAN'S (Government Scholar) final success at the Engineering College at the Chrystal Palace. He was presented with the Society's Bronze Medal for sustained distinction, in no less than 9 terminal examinations. His future successes will not come within the scope of School Reports, but he will continue to carry with him the good wishes of his old school-fellows and schoolmasters.

13. It is also worthy of note that Mr. TAI TIN-PUI, who left the Second Class of this school at midsummer after showing marked aptitude for English Studies, graduated last November as Sau Tsoi at Canton. I am informed that this is the first time this success has been achieved by a Central School boy. It must, however, be clearly understood that the credit of this success does not belong to this school, for as a rule we can do but little more than preserve the knowledge of Chinese a boy brings with him; still Mr. TAI has shown conclusively that application to English studies need not cause a boy to abandon the pursuit of native literature.

HEALTH.

14. The health of the school suffered from the fever and small-pox prevalent in the town, at the close of the year. The Sick List in December is the largest I remember.

CONCLUSION.

15. I will conclude with a few general remarks. The new school is hasting to its completion, and I sincerely trust, that we are not dooined to pass another summer in these overcrowded class- rooms, from which air is effectually blocked out by the houses that hem us in, on every side. It may be that in another year Chinese dwellings may stand on the site of this old School, but its memory

160 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 11TH FEB., 1888.

will endure; a dozen Morrison scholars, and one Government scholar, hundreds of clerks in English and Chinese Government Service, and a countless number of mercantile clerks scattered over the Far East will have these old walls photographed on their memory of happy youthful days, as long as life shall last. The standard of education at the Central School may be said this year to have attained its High Water mark, it only remains for the Victoria College to take this tide at the flood and so be led on to Fame and Fortune.

I have the honour to be,

RE-VACCINATION.

190 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1888.

cination sometimes in process of time loses more or less of its effect, it is advisable that all persons who have been vaccinated in infancy should, as they approach adult life, undergo RE-VACCINATION. Generally speaking, the best time of life for re-vaccination is about the time when growth is completing itself, say from 15 to 18 years of age; and persons in that period of life ought not to delay their re-vaccination till times when there shall be special alarm of small-pox. In proportion, however, as there is prevalence of small-pox in any neighbourhood, or as individuals are from personal circumstances likely to meet chances of infection, the age of 15 needs not be waited for; especially not by young persons whose marks of previous vaccination are unsatisfactory. In circumstances of special danger, every one past childhood, on whom re-vaccination has not before been successfully performed, ought without delay to be re-vaccinated.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 84.

The following Finding of the Marine Court, held on the 20th instant, to enquire into the loss of the British Steam-ship Ardgay, Official No. 88,869, of Aberdeen, ALEXANDER COOK, Master, whose Certificate of Competency is 97,684, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th February, 1888.

FINDING.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Steam-ship Ardgay of 1,077 tons, Official No. 88,869 of Aberdeen, of which ALEXANDER COOK, number of whose Certificate of Competency is 97,684, was Master, left Hongkong on the 13th December, 1887, with 150 tons of cargo bound to Bangkok.

That on the 15th December at 4.15 A.M., about 44 hours after leaving Hongkong, the vessel struck the ground a little to the North of Cape Batangan and could not be floated, and the vessel was finally abandoned, and the Crew, with the exception of the Chief Engineer and two Firemen, brought to Hongkong.

The Master was supplied with an Imray's General Chart of the China Sea, and a late "China Pilot." We are of opinion that due regard was not paid to the Directions contained in the "China Pilot,' and the Master was unable to produce. any written evidence as to his having paid attention to the deviation of his Compasses.

On working up the courses steered we find the ship is placed in her proper latitude, but is 108 miles East of her position when on shore, and we are of opinion that this ship was lost through a want of care of navigation.

After due consideration of the circumstances, we direct that the Certificate of Competency of ALEXANDER COOK, No. 97,684, be suspended for a period of three months from this date.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this Twentieth day of February, 1888.

RE-VACCINATION.

214

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH FEBRUARY, 1888.

　　Re-vaccination, once properly and successfully performed, does not appear ever to require repetition. The nurses and other servants of the Small-pox Hospital when they enter the service (unless it be certain that they have already had small- pox) are invariably submitted to vaccination, which in their case generally is re-vaccination, and is never afterwards repeated; and so perfect is the protection, that though the nurses live in the closest and most constant attendance on small-pox patients, tand though also the oher seryants are in various ways exposed to special chances of infection, the Resident Surgeon of the Hospital, during his thirty-four years of office there, has never known small-pox affect any one of these nurses or servants.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Languagel constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperia, 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.

1. Whenever it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Governor in Council that trees or plantations belonging to Government in the neighbourhood of any village in this Colony have been destroyed, and that there is sufficient reason to believe that such cutting down, injury, or damage was committed by the inhabitants of the said village or by any of them, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, by order under his hand, to levy a special rate assessed upon such village to an amount sufficient to cover the damages done, and such increased assessment shall take effect from the earliest day after such order on which it can be brought into force, and shall continue until the Governor in Council, by a further order under his hand, shall revoke or alter the original order, which the Governor in Council shall do when he is satisfied that the injuries to trees on account of which the original order was issued have ceased, or that they were not committed by the inhabitants of such village.

18. The appellant shall prosecute his appeal within one month from the expiry of the aforesaid period of twenty- one days, failing which, his right to appeal shall lapse.

(3.) That the appellant neglected or refused to sup- ply the information required by section 3 within ten days of demand.

21. In any case in which an appeal might be disallowe- under sub-section 3 of the last section, the Judge may, ncd vertheless, hear the appeal, if it shall appear;-

(1.) That the omission to give the required informa- tion arose from the absence or disability of the appellant, or other unavoidable cause.

(2.) That application was made to the Assessor under Section 5 for an extension of time, and was re- fused without good cause or that the time allowed was not, in the opinion of the Court, of reasonable length.

22. The Court, upon proof that the notices required by Sections 15 to 19 inclusive were given within the time fixed by those sections, shall hear and determine the matter of the appeal in a summary way, and may make such order therein as it thinks proper, with or without costs to any

26. The rates assessed shall be payable from the first day of the month next following the assessment, and shall thereafter continue to be payable quarterly.

Interim Valuations.-Appeal.

27. Any person aggrieved by any interim valuation, on the ground that the tenement assessed is not rateable under this Ordinance, or that it is valued beyond its Rateable Value, may appeal to the Supreme Court in its Summary Jurisdiction, whereupon Sections 15 to 22 in- clusive shall apply in relation to such appeal. The period of twenty-one days mentioned in those sections shall be taken to be twenty-one days from the service on the owner or occupier of the tenement of Form C under this Ordinance, or in case such Form C was not received by such owner or occupier, twenty-one days from the first demand upon him to pay the rates to which the appeal refers.

The above rates may be levied collectively and called Assessed Rates, and shall be paid quarterly in ad- vance at the Treasury within the first month of each quarter, and the times appointed for such payment shall be notified quarterly by the Treasurer in the Gazette.

Payment and Recovery of Rates.

32. The owners and occupiers of all tenements shall be liable to the Crown for payment of the rates assessed thereon, but the same shall be deemed an occupier's rate; and, as between the owner and occupier of any tenement, shall, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, be borne by the occupier; and the amount thereof, if paid by the owner, may be recovered by him from the occupier in an action for money paid to his use, or, if he is still in occupa- tion of the tenement, by distress in the same manner as for rent, and the provisions of this section shall equally apply to the recovery of rates paid by one owner on account of another under sub-section 2 of section 4.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MARCH, 1888.

Refund of Rates.

34. Refunds of rates may be made subject to the fol- lowing rules -

(1.) Whenever any tenement, not being a tenement at Victoria Peak, is unoccupied during one or more entire months of any quarter in respect of which the rates upon such tenement were paid in ad- vance, the Treasurer shall refund the rates for such months.

(2.) When any tenement at Victoria Peak shall be continuously unoccupied during any six consecu- tive months from April to November inclusive, the owner shall be entitled to a refund of the rates paid during such period on account of such tenement, and for each succeeding month during which such tenement shall be continuously un- occupied he shall be entitled to a like refund. 35. Refunds may be obtained in the following man-

ner :-

(2.) So long as such tenement shall remain continu- ously unoccupied, no further notice shall be re- quired, but after the re-occupation of such tene- ment, notice shall again be required, as provided in the preceding sub-section.

(3.) The person claiming the refund may, within fifteen days after the expiration of the quarter during which the tenement has been unoccupied, apply to the Treasurer in the form D in the Schedule for such refund.

(4.)

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MARCH, 1888.

No. 12 of 1888.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice and consent of the Legis- lative Council thereof, entitled The Vagrancy Ordinance, 1888.

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

233

[3rd March, 1888.]

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

1. In this Ordinance the term Vagrant means any person other than a Chinese found asking for alms or without any employment or visible means of subsistence.

Agent of a vessel includes any person who undertakes the agency of such vessel, though he may not be the con- signee thereof.

2. The Governor may provide a House of Detention for Vagrants at such place as he may think proper, and may appoint a Superintendent and such Officers as he may think proper, and may remove any such Superintendent or Officers at pleasure.

The Governor may by notification in the Gazette certify any building or part of a building to be a House of Detention for the purposes of this Ordinance, and until any such house be provided the Gaol at Victoria may be used as such house for the purpose of this Ordinance.

3. Every House of Detention shall be under the imme- diate charge of a Superintendent who shall be appointed, and may be suspended or removed by the Governor, and until any other appointment is made the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol shall be the Superintendent of the House of Detention.

4. Any Police Officer may require any person who is apparently a vagrant to accompany him or any other Police Officer to, and to appear before, a Magistrate.

5. Such Magistrate shall in such case, or in any other case where a person apparently a Vagrant comes before him, make a summary enquiry into the circumstances of such apparent Vagrant and if satisfied that he is a Vagrant shall declare him to be such.

6. If such Magistrate shall be further of opinion that such Vagrant is not likely to obtain employment at once, or if he has reason to believe that a declaration of vagrancy has on any former occasion been recorded in respect of such Vagrant, he shall require such Vagrant to go to a House of Detention, and shall draw up an order to that effect.

7. The Vagrant shall then be placed in charge of the Police for the purpose of being forwarded to the House of Detention and the said order shall be a sufficient author- ity to the Police for retaining him in their charge while he is on his way to the House of Detention and to the Super- intendent of the House of Detention for receiving and detaining such Vagrant.

8. Where the Magistrate dealing with such Vagrant is of opinion that the Vagrant is likely to obtain employment in the Colony, such Magistrate may in his discretion forward the Vagrant in charge of the Police to the place where such employment is likely to be obtained and may draw up an order to that effect. Such order shall be a sufficient authority to the Police for retaining the Vagrant in their charge whilst on his way to such place of employment, and afterwards, should he not succeed in obtaining such employment.

9. The Magistrate dealing with any Vagrant shall to the best of his ability, assist him in seeking employment, and may in the meantime if he think fit keep such Vagrant in charge of the Police. Should the Vagrant fail to obtain suitable employment within a reasonable time not exceed- ing at the most seven days, such Magistrate shall forward him to a House of Detention as provided in Section 6.

10. Every person while in charge of the Police under this Ordinance or whilst seeking employment shall be entitled to the same maintenance and subject to the same regulations as prisoners detained on remand.

RE-VACCINATION.

By vaccination in infancy, if thoroughly well-performed and successful, most people are completely insured, for their whole life-time, against an attack of small-pox; and in the proportionately few cases where the protection is less complete, small-pox, if it be caught, will, in consequence of the vaccination, generally be so mild a disease as not to threaten death or disfigurement. If however the vaccination in early life has been but imperfectly performed, or has from any other cause been but imperfectly successful, the protection against small-pox is much less satisfactory; neither lasting so long, nor while it lasts being nearly so complete, as the protection which first-rate vaccination gives. Hitherto, unfortunately, there has always been a very large quantity of imperfect vaccination; and in consequence the population always contains very many persons who, though nominally vaccinated and believing themselves to be protected against small-pox, are really liable to infection, and may in some cases contract as severe forms of small-pox as if they had never been vaccinated. Partly because of the existence of this large number of imperfectly vaccinated persons, and partly because also even the best infantine vac- cination sometimes in process of time loses more or less of its effect, it is advisable that all persons who have been vaccinated in infancy should, as they approach adult life, undergo RE-VACCINATION. Generally speaking, the best time of life for re-vaccination is about the time when growth is completing itself, say from 15 to 18 years of age; and persons in that period of life ought not to delay their re-vaccination till times when there shall be special alarm of small-pox. In proportion, 'however, as there is prevalence of small-pox in any neighbourhood, or as individuals are from personal circumstances likely to meet chances of infection, the age of 15 needs not be waited for; especially not by young persons whose marks of previous vaccination are unsatisfactory. In circumstances of special danger, every one past childhood, on whom re-vaccination has not before been successfully performed, ought without delay to be re-vaccinated.

　　　　　　Re-vaccination, once properly and successfully performed, does not appear ever to require repetition. The nurses and other servants of the Small-pox Hospital when they enter the service (unless it be certain that they have already had small- pox) are invariably submitted to vaccination, which in their case generally is re-vaccination, and is never afterwards repeated ; and so perfect is the protection, that though the nurses live in the closest and most constant attendance on small-pox patients, tand though also the oher servants are in various ways exposed to special chances of infection, the Resident Surgeon of the Hospital, during his thirty-four years of office there, has never known small-pox affect any one of these nurses or servants.

C.S.O.

2043 of 1887.

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

(1.)

　　　　　　　　　The Governor recommends the Council to vote the sum of Three hundred Dollars as a $300. Colonial contribution towards the maintenance of the Royal Naval Seamen's Club.

It is not unusual for Colonies, the water of which are frequented by Her Majesty's ships, to give assistance to similar institutions, which provide amusement, food, and lodging for the Seamen, and thus attract them from undesirable and injurious places of resort.

254

C.S.O. 2791 of 1887,

and

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1888.

The Commodore has represented the difficulty of maintaning this Club on account of the heavy cost of rent and taxes, and has requested the remission of the latter. But while deeming it right to give some assistance in recognition of the usefulness of the institution, the Governor regards this particular form of concession as likely to become an inconvenient precedent, and he therefore recommends the above vote, the amount of which is the same as the contribution of the Admiralty.

Government House, Hongkong, 22nd February, 1888.

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

(2.)

　　　　The Governor recommends the Council to vote the sum of Five hundred and Eighty-eight 395 of 1sss. Dollars, for the salaries of Collector, Assistant Collector and Coolie employed in the Treasury

$588. for collecting Village Taxes and Squatter's Licence Fees.

Preamble.

RULES UNDER SECTION 6 OF THE SUPERANNUATION ACT, 1887.

WHEREAS by the Superannuation Act, 1887, the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury are authorised to frame rules as to the conditions on which any civil employ- ment of profit under any public department or any employment of profit under the Government of any British Possession, or any employment under the Government of any foreign State, may be accepted by any person who is in receipt of any sum granted by Parliament for the pay, half-pay, or retired pay of officers of Her Majesty's naval or military forces, regular or auxiliary, or otherwise, for past service in such forces; or who has commuted the right to receive the same or has retired with a gratuity; and otherwise, as in the said Act mentioned:

And whereas the general principle adopted by Parliament has been that where any person receiving non-effective pay on account of service to the State accepts fresh State employment, the State should benefit by some saving upon the sums otherwise payable to such person on account of his non-effective pay and of the emoluments of his fresh employment:

And whereas such saving has been heretofore effected by means of a reduction of the non-effective pay, and it appears to the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury expedient that in the case of officers accepting certain civil employments of profit, such saving should be effected by reduction of the emoluments of the fresh employment instead of by reduction of the non-effective pay :

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1888.

　　　　　Now, therefore, the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, in pursuance of the powers conferred on them by the Superannuation Act, 1887, and of every other power enabling them in this behalf, do hereby make the following rules :-

In these rules:-

　　　　　1. (a.) The expression "non-effective pay," shall mean any half-pay or retired Definitions. pay, or other payment granted by Parliament for officers in Her Majesty's naval or land forces, on account of past service in some portion of those forces, but does not include rewards for distinguished or meritorious service, nor pensions for wounds.

　　　　　(b.) The expression "civil employment of profit under any public department," means any employment the profits of which are derived from any of the following funds which are hereby declared to be public funds, viz. :--

a. The Consolidated Fund.

b. Money voted by Parliament, or receipts taken in reduction of such money. c. Land or hereditary revenues of the Crown.

d. Crown revenue of the Channel Islands.

e. Mercantile Marine Fund.

f. Funds of Greenwich or Chelsea Hospital.

g. Any other fund which, either from its being administered by a public department, or from its receiving a contribution out of any of the above- mentioned funds, the Treasury may from time to time determine to be a public fund

;

but does not include any such employment as the Treasury, having regard to the regulations of the Admiralty and the War Departinent, determine to be a naval or military employment.

(c.) The expression "naval" shall include "marine," and the expression "navy"

shall include the marines.

(d.) The expression "officer" shall mean any officer who holds or has retired from a commission in any of the Imperial forces, or who has retired with a gratuity or upon non-effective pay, whether he have commuted such non-effective pay or not.

　　　　　(e.) The expression "Imperial forces" means Her Majesty's Imperial, naval, or land forces.

(f.) The expression "Colonial Government" means the government of any Colony, and includes the Government of Cyprus.

(a.) If the annual amount of his non-effective pay, whether in actual course of payment or commuted or represented by a gratuity valued as herein- after mentioned, and the profits of his civil employment together exceed 4007. per annum, the profits of his civil employment shall be abated by such an amount, not being less than 10 per cent. thereof, as may be determined by the Treasury in concert with the department employing the officer; provided that no abatement shall be made by reason of this rule, which exceeds the amount of the officer's non-effective pay or re- duces his total emoluments to less than 4007. per annum.

(5.)

5. (1.) It shall be competent to the Treasury, on the recommendation of the Admiralty or War Department, as the case may be, from time to time to exempt any civil employment under a naval or military department, from the operation of Rule 4, or to bring the same back within its operation.

(2.) It shall be competent to the Treasury from time to time to exempt any other civil employment from the operation of Rule 4, for such time as they may deem fit, on the ground of such employment being of a temporary or casual character, or of its

pro- fits being petty or uncertain, or of the nature of fees for piecework.

6. In case of doubt arising either as to whether the funds from which the profits of a civil employment are derived are public funds or as to what is, for the

of purposes Rule 4, the annual value of non-effective pay, or of a gratuity, or of the profits of a civil employment, the decision on the point shall rest with the Treasury.

7. No such officer as is mentioned in Rule 2 shall accept any civil employment of profit under any public departinent, otherwise than on condition that no pension shall be granted to him in respect of that employment, which, when added to his non-effective · pay,

III.-EMPLOYMENT of NAVAL or MILITARY OFFICERS by COLONIAL GOVERNMENTS

(exclusive of the GOVERNMENT of INDIA).

10. If an officer on the Active List now holds, or shall hereafter accept, any em-> ployment of profit under any Colonial Government, not remunerated out of Imperial funds, he shall draw no pay, effective or non-effective, from Imperial funds so long as he holds that employment; but if his employment appears to the Admiralty or War Department to be of a nature to afford practical experience likely to be afterwards of public advantage in the event of his return to Imperial service, his service under the

full amount of his non-effective pay :

(b.) If the annual emoluments of the employment do not exceed three times the amount of the highest rate of non-effective pay attached to the rank, by virtue of which he claims to receive non-effective pay, such person may, with Her Majesty's pleasure to that effect, signified by the Treasury through one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, receive the non-effective pay to which he would be entitled if he held no such employ- ment of profit:

(c.)

The Minutes of the meeting held on the 10th of January, 1888, were read and confirmed.

1. The Secretary laid on the table the draft of the Sanitary conditions of licence for the keeping of Milch Cows and Goats, and after approving of certain alterations in some of the clauses, the Board resolved that the amended conditions be endorsed on the licences to be issued during the present year.

2. Read a report from the Acting Sanitary Inspector on the Small-pox epidemic, and on the steps that had been taken by the Board and its Officers to meet the outbreak. Resolved:-That the Secre- tary be directed to forward the report to the Colonial Secretary with a view to requesting His Excellency the Governor's approval to its publication for general information.

3. Dr. MANSON suggested that a notification be issued urging on the Public the necessity of steeping all bed-clothes and wearing apparel, used by Small-pox patients, in boiling water before sending such articles to the wash. Resolved:-That the Secretary be directed to draft a notice and request sanction for its issue as a Government notification.

4. Dr. CANTLIE suggested the advisability of issuing a code of instructions for the information and guidance of those having the care of persons suffering from Small-pox in private tenements. Resolved:-That the Secretary be requested to issue in the form of household instructions the various suggestions which Dr. CANTLIE had promised to hand over to him.

5. A conversation ensued on the advisability of erecting as an experiment for the convenience of the public during the Small-pox epidemic the Hospital steam disinfector which is not required by the Medical Department, and it was resolved that the disinfector be rendered available for public use.

After a discussion the Board adjourned.

2. It will be seen from the enclosed tables, that the sum total, nominally earned by 61 Schools under the conditions of the Grant-in-Aid Code and on the basis of the usual examinations, amounts to $16,843.16. But as the sum voted for Grants-in-Aid for 1888 (viz., $17,000) has already been drawn upon to the amount of $254.50, leaving only $16,745.50 available, the amount nominally required for Grants-in-Aid exceeds the balance in hand by $97.66.

3. In Despatch No. 211, of 30th September, 1882, the Secretary of State laid down the rule, "that the sum of money voted each year for Grants-in-Aid ought not under any circumstances be exceeded," and in Regulation No. 6 of the Grant-in-Aid Code (1883) it is provided that "the Government will not bind itself to give grants to all Schools claiming them under the foregoing con- ditions, but will be guided by the circumstances of each case and by the amount of money at its disposal for educational purposes. Moreover, a similar case occurred in 1883, when the amount nominally earned by the Grant-in-Aid Schools exceeded the sum then available by $1,793.07, where- upon all the grants were subjected to a reduction of 14.33 per cent. in order to bring the payment to be made within the limits of the amount then available for the purpose.

　　　　　4. I propose therefore to subject the amounts nominally earned by the Grant-in-Aid Schools in the year 1887, to a reduction of one per cent., as shewn in the enclosed tables, whereby the amount to be paid by way of Grants-in-Aid is reduced from $16,843.16 to $16,674.72, and the expenditure. brought within the limits of the Estimates, leaving a small balance ($70.78) in hand.

5. The above mentioned amount nominally earned by the Grant-in-Aid Schools in the

year 1887 is considerably in excess of the sum earned by this class of Schools in the preceding year. In 1886, the sum total required for Grants-in-Aid amounted to $14,324.76, and now, in 1887, to $16,852.16, which is an increase of $2,527.40. This increase is to be accounted for as follows. The number of Schools under the Grant-in-Aid Code increased from 56 Schools in 1886, to 61 Schools in 1887. The number of scholars individually examined in these Schools increased from 2,068 in 1886 to 2,314 in 1887. That the examinations were about as strict as usual will be seen from the fact that there is but a trifling increase in the percentage of scholars passed, for in 1886, out of 2,068 scholars examined, 1,790 or 86.55 per cent. passed, whilst in 1887, out of 2,314 scholars examined, 2,033 passed, or 87.85 per cent. The increase in the expenditure now required for Grants-in-Aid is therefore prin- cipally to be accounted for by the natural increase which took place in 1887 in the number of Schools and scholars placed under the Grant-in-Aid scheme. There is, however, one extraordinary factor in the educational movement of 1887 which contributed to the sudden increase in the expenditure required for these educational grants, viz., the introduction in the Colony of the Cambridge Local Examinations which, by the stimulus they give to the study of the higher branches of an English education, caused a sudden increase in the number of Schools competing for grants allowed by the local Grant-in-Aid Code for the so-called special subjects. For many years past there was only one Grant-in-Aid School (the Diocesan Home and Orphanage) which annually took up the special subjects of Algebra, Euclid and Physical Geography. Thus, for instance, in 1886, out of 2,068 scholars examined in the ordinary subjects of the Code, only 13 scholars were presented for examination in those 3 special subjects. But in 1887, as many as 6 Schools took up the special subjects of the Code, such as Algebra, Euclid, Physical Geography, Astronomy (Findlater's Science Primer), and even Book-keeping (Turner's Commercial Guide and Hunter's Civil Service Examination Papers), and as many as 99 scholars were examined in these subjects in 1887, involving an expenditure, for grants for special subjects only, amounting to $611, as compared with $44 required for special subjects in 1886.

6. I now beg to recommend that the enclosed tabulated accounts be audited as usual by the Audit Office, and that, if the accounts are found correct, the proposed reduction of 1 per cent. be approved and, in that case, a warrant issued for the sum of $16,674.72 to be paid, as usual, by the Treasury on personal application to be made by the respective Managers, Teachers and Assistant-teachers of Grant- in-Aid Schools. I shall then supply the Treasury with the usual list of names and amounts due, corresponding with the detailed accounts herewith enclosed, and I shall also forward to each Manager, Teacher and Assistant-teacher concerned, the usual forms of receipt stating the amount due to each, which forms must be handed in at the Treasury on claiming payment. This form of procedure, first adopted in 1884, has hitherto worked satisfactorily.

7. The enclosed Tables exhibit in detail the mode in which each of the Grant-in-Aid Schools has earned its grant in 1887 and the amount payable to each Manager and Teacher under the proposed reduction of 1 per cent. Further particulars and general observations with regard to the working of the Grant-in-Aid Schools in 1887, I reserve for the usual Annual Report on Education.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient and humble Servant,

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.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance for the reservation of a European District in the City of Victoria.

HEREAS the health and comfort of Europeans in a tropical climate demand conditions which are incon- sistent with the neighbourhood of houses crowded with occupants and otherwise used after the manner customary with the Chinese inhabitants, and whereas the influx of Chinese into the Colony tends constantly to narrow the area of the City of Victoria where such conditions are attainable, and it is desirable to reserve by law a district wherein such conditions may be secured: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The European District Reservation Ordinance.

2. In the construction of this Ordinance, the words City of Victoria shall mean the City of Victoria as defined by the Victoria Registration Ordinance, No. 7 of 1866. The words Chinese Tenement shall mean any tenement of the type usually designed for habitation by Chinese other than domestic servants. The words European District shall mean that portion of the City which is situated on the Southern or South Eastern side of a dividing line begin- ning from a point on the Pokfoolum Road at No. 1 Bridge and passing along the Pokfoolum Road, High Street, and Bonham Road, as far as Ladder Street, thence along the Northern boundaries of Inland Lots Nos. 573 and 574 and bisecting Inland Lots Nos. 523, 423, 157 and 94, thence along the Northern boundaries of Inland Lots Nos. 100, 1086, 122 and 128, thence along Shelley Street and along the Northern boundary of Inland Lot No. 125, thence along Chancery Lane, Arbuthnot steps, Wyndham Street, Ice House Lane, Battery Path, Beacons- field steps and the North boundary of the Military Parade . Ground, thence along Queen's Road East as far as the West boundary of Inland Lots Nos. 47A and 47, thence along a line parallel with and 200 feet to the North of Kennedy Road as far as the Wantsai Nullah and thence along Kennedy Road to its junction with Queen's Road East, and which dividing line is more specially set forth and denoted in the Official map of the City of Victoria to be signed by the Governor and to be registered in the Land Office of the Colony.

3. After the passing of this Ordinance it shall not be lawful to build any Chinese tenement within the European District, and no non-Chinese tenement whether now built or hereafter to be built within such European District shall be divided with the object of providing for its occupation by more than one person to every one thousand cubic feet of clear internal space, nor shall such non-Chinese tenement be at any time occupied by more than one person to every one thousand cubic feet of clear internal space.

4. Upon the complaint of any person-whether such person be aggrieved or not-that a Chinese Tenement has been built within the European District or that any Tene- ment in such District is subdivided, or is occupied by an undue number of persons in contravention of the provisions of this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for the Surveyor General or any Officer deputed by him for the purpose, to inspect such tenement, and any person in any way obstructing such inspection shall be deemed to be acting in contravention of this Ordinance.

5. Every person contravening any of the provisions of this Ordinance shall be liable ou summary conviction by a Magistrate to a penalty not exceeding

Dollars or in default of payment to imprisonment not exceeding months and every tenement built sub-divided or occupied in contravention of this Ordinance shall be deemed a nuisance within the meaning of Ordinance No. 8 of 1856 which nuisance may be abated accordingly.

6. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be held to prevent the owners of Chinese tenements now existing within the European District from repairing such tenements in accord- ance with their present structure nor shall anything in this Ordinance be held to preclude any Chinese person from owning or occupying or residing in, any lawful tenement in the European District.

The value of log. 'K was 3.44959, at 20° Cent. and the value of P was + 8.819. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.48980 in English Units and 639.47 in C.G.S. Units.

The times of vibration exhibited in the table are each derived from 12 observations of the time occupied by the magnet in making 100 vibrations, corrections having been applied for rate of chrono- meter and arc of vibration.

The observations of Horizontal Force are expressed in C.G.S. Units (one centimeter, one gramme, one second) but the monthly synopsis exhibits X, the Horizontal, as well as Y, the Vertical, and the Total Forces, which have been computed by aid of the observed Dips, and their values are also given in English Units (one foot, one grain, one second) and in Gauss's Units (one millimeter, one milligramme, one second).

　　　　　The mean of the observations made during the past four years give for the 1st January 1886 the following mean values for the different elements: Declination (East) = 0°44′19′′, Dip (North) = 32°25′15′′, Horizontal Force = 7.8204 (British Units) 0.36059 (C.G.S. Units).

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 31ST MAR., 1888. 337

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 140.

The following Annual Report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol for 1887, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 27th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 31st March, 1888.

No. 22.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

GAOL SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 24th January, 1888.

COLONIAL SECRETARY,

I beg to forward herewith Annual Statistical Return of Victoria Gaol for the year 1887. 2. As I was absent from the Colony for nine months of the year, it seems to me proper to limit as much as possible any observations on last year's work, and it will be inore satisfactory to annex hereto, copy of an interim report submitted by Mr. MITCHELL-INNES, who acted for me during my absence and to attach hereto the same Returns A., B., C., D., and E. for 1887 as were submitted by me in the previous year; to the first four of which are annexed for the sake of comparison similar Returns of the three previous years.

3. There is only one change to report during the past year. A reduction in the Prison diet, re- commended by the Gaol Commission Report of 1st June, 1886, was introduced in the beginning of the year with the sanction of the Home Government. This change was followed as had been anti- cipated by an attempt at mutiny on the part of the prisoners which was promptly suppressed by the energetic action of Mr. JONES, Chief Warden, and of Mr. MITCHELL-INNES to whom as superintendent summary powers of Corporal punishment had been restored with a special view to this contingency.

4. Although the average number of prisoners during the year has been less than in the previous year, it will be observed that the number of offences has largely increased. This is chiefly owing to increased stringency in the reporting and punishing the one of talking, an offence which will be greatly diminished as soon as the separate system is introduced.

5.. In the matter of industrial work there is a considerable diminution of profits as compared with the previous year. This is chiefly owing to want of storage room which necessitated in January last the sale by auction of all the oakum and rattan manufactures at a heavy loss.

6. As regards Prison Buildings I think I need hardly add a word to my previous report. I lespair of establishing a really satisfactory deterrent and reformatory prison discipline until the sepa- ate system is introduced.

7. There is however one grain of comfort. There seems some evidence that increased prison dis- ipline and reductions in diet have caused habitual criminals to make the discovery that Victoria Gaol 3 no longer quite such a comfortable residence of ease and repose which it was supposed to be, and hat prisoners who have had later experience of Gaol seem more disposed to avoid it. If we examine Return D. we find that on the 31st December, 1885, 35 per cent. of the prisoners in Gaol were old offenders, on 31st December, 1886, this number was reduced to 32 per cent., while on the same date in 1887 the percentage of old offenders was only 24.

8. There is one point already referred to by Mr. MITCHELL-INNES in his report which I would urgently press on the consideration of Government. The subordinate officers of the Gaol are very hard worked (12 hours duty in the 24) and very poorly paid, the lowest rank only getting $25 per month which compares very poorly with European Police or Dock Yard Police the lowest rank of which receive $40 a month. This presses very hardly especially on the married man who cannot get a room near the Gaol under $8 or $9 a month. The result is that subordinate officers of the Gaol are constantly on the look-out for other employment. There is a continual change of subordinate officials and consequently there is always a large number of officials imperfectly instructed in and still learning their duties to the detriment of discipline and order. I consider a revision of the scale of remuneration of subordinate officers is very urgent.

338 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 31ST MAR., 1888.

HONGKONG, 11th October, 1887.

SIR,-In accordance with the direction of His Excellency the late Acting Governor General CAMERON, I have the honour to transmit a report on the Gaol from 19th January, 1887, to 11th August, 1887, the period during which it was under my control. The report would have been sent in earlier had it not been for the time taken in preparing the return which accompanies it.

2. During my tenure of office I followed in general the lines laid down by General GORDON, any divergence therefrom being, as a rule, in the direction of increased stringency. That this course was the correct one will, I think, be admitted when the difficulty of rendering imprisonment deterrent to the Chinese, for whom it means, good rations, sufficient clothing and two holidays a week instead of miserable food, scanty rags and unremitting labour is considered. Thus following the system in force in naval prisons, all offences, however slight, have been reported and punished. This has naturally caused a large increase in the number of petty offences recorded, but I do not consider the reports to be a satisfactory criterion of the state of the Gaol, which I believe to have continued steadily to im-

prove.

3. When I took command of the Gaol I found that an outbreak was expected on account of the reduction in rations recently effected. That that expectation was well founded, was proved by the occurrence of a strike and among the chain gang and some of the other prisoners on the morning of the 31st of January. Fortunately by the prompt action taken by the Warden and Chief Warders and with the assistance of the European Prisoners who volunteered to assist, the mutineers were locked up in their cells before the disturbance had led to bloodshed, but the outbreak seemed to me to prove that a sharp lesson was required in order to maintain discipline in the Gaol and to shew the prisoners that combined action would not be met by the punishment of a few only but of all, I therefore caused 69 of the mutineers to be whipped. The punishment proved most successful in the Gaol, and I may mention incidentally that the number of prisoners fell from 658 to 585 and that the Captain Superin- tendent of Police remarked, as I am informed of the quiet state of the town after its infliction.

4. I note with satisfaction that acting on my recommendation; the Government has ordered fifty more cranks for the use of the Gaol. This form of punishment is much disliked by the Chinese to whom it is much more distasteful than shot drill or oakum picking.

5. The chain gang has been increased from 47 to nearly 100, it being found that the cost to the Surveyor General of a gang of the latter strength was very little in excess of that of one half its size The gang has been usefully employed of late in cutting down the hill at the new Police Barrack opposite Green Island.

6. The want of accommodation still makes itself severely felt in the Gaol. Isolation is very dis tasteful to the Chinese, but it can only be practised at present to a very limited extent, there being only 198 cells for an average of 607. The sleeping in association is, I consider, specially objectionable The female prison is most unsatisfactory there being only two rooms for at times, twenty prisoners thus entailing the association of petty offenders with hardened criminals.

7. The Gaol Staff is in a fairly satisfactory condition, the substitution of European for coloure warders being productive of good results; it is however difficult to induce steady reliable men t undertake or if undertaken to continue the hard and monotonous work of warders (the hours beir from 6 to 6) for the very poor pay at present offered ($25 a month, without food, rising to $60 The constant changes which result interfere seriously with the effectiveness of the staff, as new me in addition to learning their duties as warders, have to pick up a modicum of Chinese in order to l of much use. To assist them in doing this, I have made for their use a small book containing th more ordinary expressions in use in the Gaol in low class Cantonese, which I trust may be found

use.

8. Taking into consideration the central position of the Gaol, the continual changes in the stafi the fact of the prisoners being constantly in association, and the mild nature of their punishment as compared with those to which they are accustomed in their own country, I consider that their conduct has been on the whole satisfactory, and this I attribute in a great measure to the knowledge by them that no infraction of the Gaol rules, however slight would be excused. The health of the prisoners has, in view of the miserable condition of many of them on admittance been good.

I have the honour to be,

SWEARING IN OF MEMBER-Mr. WALTER MEREDITH DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police, was sworn in to act, provisionally, as an Official Member of the Council.

BILL ENTITLED THE EUROPEAN DISTRICT RESERVATION ORDINANCE, 1888.-Read the following Message from His Excellency the Governor :-

The Governor has directed to be introduced to the Legislative Council an Ordinance for the reservation of a European district in the town of Victoria. The object of this proposed law is fully stated in the preamble, which has been inserted in the Ordinance, as follows:- "Whereas the health and comfort of Europeans in a tropical climate demand conditions. which are inconsistent with the neighbourhood of houses crowded with occupants and otherwise used after the manner customary with the Chinese inhabitants, and whereas the influx of Chinese into the Colony tends constantly to narrow the area of the City of Victoria where such conditions are attainable, and it is desirable to reserve by law a district wherein such conditions may be secured: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof." The correctness of these statements is too well known to need further elucidation. The rapid influx of Chinese into this Colony, where they find facilities of acquiring, and especially of retaining property, which are, to say the least, not universally present in their own country, creates an increasing temptation to land-owners to pull down houses adapted for European habitation, and to erect Chinese houses in their place, which, as providing for a far larger number of people within the same area, offer the prospect of greater profits from rent. This substitution is now going on at such

344

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH APRIL, 1888.

a rate that, in the absence of some effective check, the time is being brought within measurable distance when all but the richer European who can afford the occupation of land of exceptionally high value, will be driven altogether out of the town of Victoria, or compelled to live there under conditions far more prejudicial to their health than those already presented by the tropical climate. In view of the fact that a large leaven of Europeans is, and (in so far as can be forescen) for a very long time will be, necessary to the well-being of the Chinese themselves, the practical exclusion from the principal town of Hongkong of those whose liberal institutions and whose indomitable energy and preseverance has transformed a bare uninhabited rock into a beautiful city and an emporium of trade second to very few others in the world, would be not merely a sentimental grievance, but a real calamity to all persons without exception who are concerned in the welfare of the Colony. With a view to prevent this undesirable result the Ordinance in question has been drafted for the reservation of a European district in Victoria. The district indicated (the actual limits of which will of course be subject to modification in Council, even if the general principle of the law be approved) is one which has always been occupied by European houses, almost without exception, so that there will be no disturbance of present conditions; and the only change proposed is the prohibition for the future of what has not actually taken place in the past, viz., the erection there of what are known as Chinese houses by large numbers of people after the manner usual with Chinese. Under ordinary circumstances this limitation of the rights of ownership would probably be held to involve the obligation of granting compensation. There are, however, reasons which seem to remove this obligation in the present case. A certain clause in the leases under which property in this and other districts is held, has in the past been construed both by the leaseholders and by the Government as leaving to the Crown a discretion to grant, or refuse, permission for the building of houses of a different character from those previously erected; and as a matter of fact when the substitution of Chinese for European houses was in contemplation the permission of the Government has again and again been asked and has even occasionally been refused. As there has never been any legal decision on the point, this meaning of the clause may, or may not, be correct; but at all events it is one which has been generally accepted; and there is even an opening for doubt whether a single one of the leaseholders acquired his property in the belief that it had attached to it the right which, if it ever existed at all it is now proposed to withdraw. Another objection which may possibly be raised to the Ordinance is that it is what is commonly called "class-legislation." But apart from the improbability that the Governor would give his sanction to any measure involving this reproach, a very slight consideration will show that it is in no way open to it. A certain district is to be preserved in a condition such as to render it possible for Europeans to continue to live there in health; but there is nothing in the law to prevent Chinese from living there also so long as their habitation is of a character consistent with that condition. The rights of all races will thus be not less equal in this district than elsewhere, and this law so far from injuriously affecting Chinese, will as a matter of fact, be a benefit to them in common with the rest of the community, for the prevention within the prescribed district of the overcrowding which is prevalent else- where secures in permanence a comparatively open space, or what is commonly called a "lung," for the densely-populated town of Victoria, and is thus more or less beneficial to the health of all the inhabitants.

The Attorney General then moved that the Bill be read a first time.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st April, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

29th February, 1888.

　　　　　　SIR,- With reference to my Circular Despatch of the 18th November last, I have the honour to transmit to you, for information and publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of an Order of the Queen in Council for bringing into effect from the sixth of December, 1887, the Conven- tion for the creation of an International Union for the protection to be given by way of copyright to the authors of literary and artistic works, which was signed at Berne on the 9th of September, 1886.

2. I take this opportunity to point out to you that the Imperial Copyright Acts for engraving and sculpture do not apply to the Colonies, and that apparently the Act of 1862 (25 and 26 Vic. cap. 63) giving copyright in paintings and photographs does not so apply. I would request your attention to sections 4, 8, 9, 10, of the Act of 1862, which, you will observe, apply to the United Kingdom only; and would invite you to compare the language of section 1 of that Act with the Copyright Act of 1842 (5 and 6 Vic., cap. 45), which (sec. 29) expressly gives literary copyright throughout Her Majesty's Dominions.

　　　　　　3. It would seem, therefore, that although the effect of section 8 of the Act of 1886 may be to protect the owner of copyright in works of art produced in a Colony against piracy in the United Kingdom, he would not be entitled to similar protection in another Colony.

　　　　　　4. I have therefore to request that I may be informed at your early convenience whether it is the wish of your Government that legislation should be initiated in the Imperial Parliament for ex- tending to works of art produced in a Colony the same privileges of copyright throughout the Empire as are now possessed by literary works produced in a Colony.

　　　　　　5 I may indicate the following as a further reason which seems to render it desirable that such legislation should be had:

A colonist producing a work of art in a foreign country would, under the Convention, appear to be entitled to such copyright as under the laws of that country would be enjoyed by its subjects; but if that country finds that reciprocal advantages are not obtainable by its subjects in the Colonies, it might be inclined to alter its law so as to withdraw these advantages from colonists residing in such country.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

KNUTSFORD.

At the Court at Windsor, the 28th day of November, 1887.

PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty.

Lord President.

Lord Stanley of Preston.

Secretary Sir Henry Holland, Bart.

HEREAS the Convention of which an, English translation is set out in the First Schedule to this Order has been concluded between Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the foreign countries named in this Order, with respect to the protection to be given by way of copyright to the authors of literary and artistic works:

382

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST APRIL, 1888.

And whereas the ratifications of the said Convention were exchanged on the fifth day of September one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, between Her Majesty the Queen and the Governments of the foreign countries following, that is to say:

Belgium; France; Germany; Hayti; Italy; Spain; Switzerland; Tunis.

And whereas Her Majesty in Council is satisfied that the foreign countries named in this Order have made such provisions as it appears to Her Majesty expedient to require for the protection of authors of works first produced in Her Majesty's dominions:

Nor, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and by virtue of the authority committed to Her by the International Copyright Acts, 1844 to 1886, doth order; and it is hereby ordered, as follows:

　　1. The Convention as set forth in the First Schedule to this Order, shall, as from the commence- ment of this Order, have full effect throughout Her Majesty's domimions, and all persons are enjoined to observe the same.

2. This Order shall extend to the foreign countries following, that is to say:

Belgium; France; Germany; Hayti; Italy; Spain; Switzerland; Tunis;

and the above countries are in this Order referred to as the foreign countries of the Copyright Union, and those foreign countries together with Her Majesty's dominions, are in this Order referred to as the countries of the Copyright Union.

3. The author of a literary or artistic work which, on or after the commencement of this Order is first produced in one of the foreign countries of the Copyright Union shall, subject as in this Order and in the International Copyright Acts, 1844 to 1886, mentioned, have as respects that work through- out Her Majesty's dominions, the same right of copyright, including any right capable of being con- ferred by an Order in Council under section two or section five of the International Copyright Act, 1844, or under any other enactment, as if the work had been first produced in the United Kingdom, and shall have such right during the same period;

Provided that the author of a literary or artistic work shall not have any greater right or longer term of copyright therein, than that which he enjoys in the country in which the work is first produced.

The author of any literary or artistic work first produced before the commencement of this Order shall have the rights and remedies to which he is entitled under section six of the International Copy- right Act, 1886.

4. The rights conferred by the International Copyright Acts, 1844 to 1886, shall, in the case of a literary or artistic work first produced in one of the foreign countries of the Copyright Union by an author who is not a subject or citizen of any of the said foreign countries, be limited as follows, that is to say, the author shall not be entitled to take legal proceedings in Her Majesty's dominions for protecting any copyright in such work, but the publisher of such work shall, for the purpose of any legal proceedings in Her Majesty's dominions for protecting any copyright in such work, be deemed to be entitled to such copyright as if he were the author, but without prejudice to the rights of such author and publisher as between themselves.

5. A literary or artistic work first produced simultaneously in two or more countries of the Copy- right Union shall be deemed for the purpose of copyright to have been first produced in tht one, of those countries in which the term of copyright in the work is shortest.

6. Section six of the International Copyright Act, 1852, shall not apply to] any dramatic piece to which protection is extended by virtue of this Order.

7. The Orders mentioned in the Second Schedule to this Order are hereby revoked;

Provided that neither such revocation, nor anything else in this Order, shall prejudicially affect any right acquired or accrued before the commencement of this Order, by virtue of any Order hereby revoked, and any person entitled to such right shall continue entitled thereto, and to the remedies for the same, in like manner as if this Order had not been made.

8. This Order shall be construed as if it formed part of the International Copyright Act, 1886.

9. This Order shall come into operation on the sixth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, which day is in this Order referred to as the commencement of this Order. And the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury are to give the necessary orders herein accordingly.

　　　　　　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.

Final Protocol.

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 pro- tection 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 arrangements 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.

4. The common agreement alluded to in Article XIV of the Convention is established as follows:

　　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 Con- federation.

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 docu- ments 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 authorizing, by common accord, the publication by the office of an addition in one or more other languages if experience should show this to be requisite.

　　The administration of the country where a Conference is about to be held, gramme 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 sixty thousand francs 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

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST APRIL, 1888.

　　　　　　These co-efficients 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 Interna- tional Office.

7. It is agreed that, as regards the exchange of ratifications comtemplated 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.

Canton River. The following information relating to the Canton River has been received from H.M.S. "Cockchafer

　　　　　The Beacon on South bank, just above second bar, mentioned in China Sea Directory, Vol. iii, p. 112, in foot note, has been washed away and not replaced.

　　　　　The stone Beacon and Buoy at Dutch Folly mentioned on p. 5 of Hydrographic Notice No. 8 of 1887, are painted Black and not Green. A Buoy painted Red, lies about 1 cable West from the Beacons on North side of Channel.

　　　　　The Whampoa Barrier marked on Chart, is under water; a new barrier of wooden piles, which shew above water, and have a narrow opening for the passage of vessels,-exists just to the West of the old Barrier.

Owing to the piles on the South side of the Barrier across Cambridge Reach, having been washed away, leaving the stones with 7ft. of water over them,-vessels are recommended to keep on the North side of the channel, when passing through that Barrier.

　　　　　Lines 4 and 5 of p. 6 of Hydrographic Notice No. 8 of 1887 should be cancelled, as there is no opening through the Barrier mentioned, and no lights are shewn. The Docks mentioned in foot note to p. 120 Vol. iii China Sea Directory, and in Dock Book p. 48, as being at Canton, have no existence.

Charts affected Nos. 1742 and 1739.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperia 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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 171.

　　　　　The following Annual Report on Education in Hongkong, for the year 1887, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 18th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st April, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART,

‧Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION Department,

HONGKONG, 23rd March, 1888.

SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education for the year 1887. 2. The total number of Schools, subject to supervision and examination by the Government, amounted, in the year 1887, to 94, as compared with 45 Schools in 1877 and 13 Schools in 1867. The total number of scholars, enrolled in Schools subject to Government supervision and examination, amounted to 5,974 in the year 1887, as compared with 3,144 scholars in the year 1877, and 700 scholars in the year 1867. In other words, there has been an increase of 49 Schools and 2,830 scholars during the last ten years, whilst the increase during the previous decade (1867-1877) amounted to 32 Schools with 2,736 scholars.

3. It is evident from the foregoing figures that the number of Schools and scholars under Govern- ment supervision and examination exhibits a considerable increase from decade to decade. This in- crease has, however, been running in the wake of a comparatively greater increase of the population of the Colony. The rate of annual increase has been unsteady in the case of Schools and scholars. In las year's Report I shewed that up to the year 1884 there was, year by year, a continuous annual increase amounting, on an average, to 6 Schools and 472 scholars per annum, but that, owing to certain disturbing elements, the previous annual increase of Schools and scholars remained checked from autumn 1884 to the beginning of the year 1887. But in the latter year there has now again been an increase of 4 Schools and 130 scholars under Government supervision and examination. Although this increase is not yet equal to the former annual rate, it may be taken as an indication that the current of educational development will soon recover its former strength.

　　　　　4. Of the above mentioned 5,974 scholars attending Schools under Government supervision in the year 1887, as many as 4,160 were placed by their parents in Missionary Grant-in-Aid Schools where they received a Christian education, whilst 1,814 children attended the Government Schools. Of the latter number 601 scholars attended the Government Central School, 868 scholars attended Schools established by the Government in town and villages, and 345 scholars were under instruction in the sinall Village Schools kept by the natives and aided by the Government (by a fixed monthly grant of $5 each). Comparing these figures with those of the preceding year, it appears that there has been but a slight increase, amounting to 209 scholars, in the attendance of the Missionary Grant-in-Aid Schools, and a slight decrease, amounting to 79 scholars, in the attendance of the Government Schools. For further details see Tables I and II appended to this Report.

5. The expenses incurred by the Government, during the year 1887, on account of education in general, amounted (including the expenses connected with the Government Scholarship) to a total of $43,070.91 (as compared with $43,085.50 in the year. 1886), or $7.21 per scholar (as compared with $7.37 per scholar in 1886). These expenses were distributed as follows. The Government Central School, with 601 scholars, cost the Government, in the year 1887, $11,872.70 or $19.75 per head. The expenses of the other Government Schools (including the Government Aided Schools in the villages), attended by 1,814 scholars, amounted to $9,443.43 or $5.20 per head. On the Grant-in-Aid Schools, with 4,160 scholars, the Government has spent, for the year 1887, the sum of $16,674.72 or $4 per head. Further details concerning the cost, to the Government, of each School, will be found in Tables * III, IV and XIII.

6. As to the nature of the education given in the above mentioned 94 Schools under Government supervision amination, we may divide these Schools into 5 classes, viz. Chinese Schools, Roma- nized (

ls, Portuguese Schools, Anglo-Chinese Schools, and English Schools. The first est of these classes of Schools consisted in the year 1887 of 75 Schools (with 3,802 purely Chinese education, exclusively in the Chinese language, that is to say either

402 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 21ST APR., 1888.

in the Punti or Hakka or Hoklo dialects. The second class consisted of 2 Schools (with 98 scholars) giving a European education in the Chinese language, using both the Chinese written character and teaching also to read and write Chinese according to the Romanized system. The third class consisted of 3 Portuguese Schools (with 224 scholars) giving a European education exclusively in the Portuguese language and teaching neither English nor Chinese. The fourth class consisted of 8 Anglo-Chinese Schools (with 1,160 scholars) giving a European education in both the English and Chinese languages. The fifth class consisted of 6 Schools (with 688 scholars) giving a European education exclusively in the English language.

7. Ever since Schools were established in this Colony, a disproportionate amount of attention has been given to the education of boys as compared with girls. In the early times of the Colony there was good reason for that, for the Chinese community consisted during the first two decades of the Colony's existence almost exclusively of men. It is only since the last 20 or 25 years that the Chinese began on a gradually increasing scale to settle down here together with their families, and it is very probable that the census of 1881 will show that the Chinese population of the Colony will in the near future attain to an approximately normal proportion of males and females. I shewed in my Report for last year that, thanks to the successful working of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, there has been, ever since the year 1873, a steady increase from year to year, both in the number of Schools established in the Colony for the special purpose of promoting female education, and in the proportion of girls to boys under instruction in the various Schools of the Colony. Among 5,974 children attending Schools under the supervision and examination of the Government, there were 4,195 boys and 1,779 girls in the year 1887. This constitutes a slight increase as compared with the statistics of the preceding year. But the gradual progress made in this direction becomes more striking if we compare the proportion ofD+ girls to boys during the last twenty years. In 1867, among 700 children then attending Schools under Government, the girls counted only 6.86 per cent. In 1877, in the case of 3,144 children attending such Schools, the percentage of girls had risen to 19.84 per cent. and in the year 1887 we had, among 5,974 children in School, girls to the number of 29.77 per cent. It is evident that female education in . this Colony, although in a backward condition and requiring to be fostered in every legitimate way, has in it the elements of healthy progress.

8. Apart from the 94 Schools under Government supervision and examination, with their 5,974 scholars, there were, in the year 1887, about 110 Private Schools (including Night Schools) at work in the Colony, attended by about 2,300 children, so that the total number of scholars under instruction in Schools of all classes amounted to 8,272 scholars, distributed over 204 Schools. As the population of the Colony, apart from the Army and Navy, amounted, in the year 1887, to about 181,900 souls, it. appears therefore that about 4.54 per cent of the whole resident population were under instruction in Schools, public or private, within the Colony. In European countries, where education is compulsory, the number of children actually attending School forms generally about 10 per cent. (more or less) of the population. Under the exceptional circumstances of this Colony and in the absence of any law compelling attendance at School, it would be unreasonable to expect an equally high percentage here. European families still continue to send their children to Europe for reasons of health or to complete their education, and Chinese families, although they have now to some extent taken to bringing up their children in the Colony, send them away to their ancestral homes on the neighbouring mainland at the slightest provocation, such as the outbreak of epidemic disease or the spread of vague rumours concerning expected disturbances. We have no accurate data to ascertain the number of children of local school-age (6-16 years) residing in the Colony in the year 1887. When the last census was taken (in 1881), the number of children of local school-age approximated 9.26 per cent. of the popula- tion. Applying this proportion to the population of the year 1887, it would appear that the number of children of local school-age amounted in 1887 to 16,843. Deducting therefrom the number of children actually in School (8,274), it appears that the number of uneducated children in the Colony,. in 1887, amounted to 8,569. In other words, a little under one half of the children of local school-age actually came under instruction in Hongkong during the year 1887. There is nothing abnormal in this discrepancy. Educational statistics of quite recent date show that in England and Wales some- what over one half, and in Ireland less than one half, of those children (5-13 years of age) who ought to attend School, actually come under instruction. There are in this Colony hardly any industries which employ great numbers of children. One Sugar-Refinery employs a small gang of children in packing cube sugar in tins, and public road-making gives here and there parents an opportunity to employ their children in breaking small stones (to be mixed with cement), but there is very little in- terference at present with school attendance arising from these sources. The employment of children by their parents in carrying loads of soil or bricks to or from building sites has very much decreased during the last 10 years. The principal causes that interfere with school attendance in the Colony are domestic employment within the family, bond-servitude in the case of purchased servant girls, and fishing in the case of a few villages. The Government Schools (outside the Central School) and the Chinese Grant-in-Aid Schools offer, in every part of the Colony both in town and villages, an ordinary Chinese education absolutely free of charge. In the Aided Village Schools (also Chinese education in the vernacular) a small charge is made by the village comi on an average, to 30 cash and 3 catties of rice (total value about 12 cents) a mon actual attendance. There are moreover 5 Government Schools in different parts o

an ordinary inting,

‧

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVTM GAZETTE OF 21ST APR., 1888. 403

give an elementary English education (up to Standard IV) absolutely free of charge. It is only in the middle-class Schools of the Colony which give an English education (with or without Chinese in addition) and in Private Schools that fees are charged such as are beyond the means of the poor. Thanks to the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, the lowest classes of the Chinese population have the most liberal provision made for them by Government to furnish their children with an ordinary Chinese education. The mass of the Chinese lower classes do not yet sufficiently appreciate an English education, because their necessities demand Chinese rather than English knowledge. But the well-to-do classes of the Chinese community are now from year to year becoming more alive to the advantages of an English education (based on 3 or 4 years previous study of the Chinese classics) and the existing educational machinery is quite capable of any modification that inay be required in order to keep pace with the gradually increasing demand for a higher and broader standard of school teaching. One great charac- teristic of our educational system is that, being the outcome of a slow but natural process of evolution, it is not only in vital sympathy with all the constituent elements of our heterogeneous community, equitably representing the various factors of differentiation, but it represents also a mighty force of unification. In social life and even in commercial life we have in this Colony sundry unbridged chasms, widely separating the different strata of the community, and this exclusivism seeks also to secure se- parate Schools for separate classes of society, but the main current of the educational movement in the Colony runs so strongly in the direction of unity that the Schools of the Colony are either forced to abandon their exclusivism or to eke out a scanty existence by constant appeals to the charity of a small section of the community. The Government Central School, the largest and most flourishing educational institution in the Colony, was originally established for Chinese only but was soon compelled by the sheer force of circumstances to admit all other nationalities, and here we see now all the strata of Colonial society brought together in a harmonious co-operation which has (to a certain extent) a unifying effect on society itself. St. Joseph's College, originally established exclusively for Portuguese boys, soon found itself compelled to admit also Chinese boys, who were at first taught in entire separation from the Portuguese, but this partition wall had also to be lowered after some years, and now we see in the upper classes of St. Joseph's College Portuguese and Chinese harmoniously intermixed. Even the Hongkong Public School, established on a strictly exclusivist principle, being intended for Euro- pean Protestants only, found itself compelled to open its doors also to Portuguese, Jews and Mahome- dans. The writer of the article on Hongkong, in the book published under the title " Her Majesty's Colonies," concludes a fair sketch of the educational system of Hongkong (reprinted in a recent work entitled "The Schools of Greater Britain"), by saying that this system is "very well adapted to the views of the Chinese inhabitants, as a great element in popularising British rule and inducing respect- able Chinese to settle in the Colony." What our educational system has thus done for the Chinese, it is also doing for all the other nationalities represented in the Colony, by striving to remove all unnatural distinctions of race and creed and to bridge over every chasm and gulf that divides one class of society from the other, in order to unite all in mutual subservience to the interests of the common weal.

　　　　　　9. In one respect most of our educational agencies are labouring under a serious disadvantage. The question of accommodation seriously affects the results of school teaching in every country, and more particularly so in a tropical climate. Yet in this very matter of house accommodation most of the Schools in the Colony are in a very backward condition. Among our 204 Schools there are hardly ten or twelve which are located in suitable premises. The vast majority of our Schools are at present accommodated in ordinary semi-Chinese or Chinese dwelling houses, ill suited for the purpose of class rooms and are in most cases deficient as regards light and ventilation and especially in respect of lavatories. Even the Government Schools, with the exception of four, are all more or less badly housed, being located in narrow tenements of Chinese construction which were originally built for Chinese domestic purposes and for which the Government pays a heavy monthly rent. The Grant-in-Aid Schools are, with a few exceptions, in the same plight. The Aided Schools in the Villages are mostly accommodated in window-less cottages, generally of a worse type than the dwellings of the villagers themselves, many of these Schools receiving light and ventilation exclusively from the open door-way. There is therefore great need for improvement in the matter of school accommodation. But at present there is little prospect of an early change for the better. House rent has risen enormously in the main parts of the town. All new houses, that have been built of late, are of smaller dimensions than the old houses of the town. Houses containing rooms suitable for the purposes of a School have of late become very rare in the Colony. The Government and private Managers of Schools are thus being forced to face the problem of providing school accommoda- tion of a suitable and sanitary type. The Grant-in-Aid Scheme offers indeed Building Grants under certain conditions and one very fine College (St. Joseph's) has been built with such aid, but Managers of Grant-in-Aid Schools appear to consider the restrictions with which Building Grants are hedged in too irksome still, although these restrictions have lately been modified to meet some objections. The Government has also lately made several grants of building sites for Village Schools, but in the thickly populated parts of the town there is a lamentable dearth of available sites suitable for Schools. The sanitary supervision of Public Schools which, under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, devolved hitherto upon the Inspector of Schools, has at my request been entrusted, since 1887, to the care of the Sanitary Board, a measure of some importance as, in the case of an outbreak of epidemic disease, Schools serve as powerful centres for the propagation of the infection.

The results of the annual examinations of the Schools under the supervision of the Govern- ment will be found detailed in Table X-XV appended to this Report, and as far as the Government Central School is concerned, in the Report of its Headmaster. A few supplementary statistical details and general observations regarding the principal classes of Schools may however be of interest.

11. In the case of the Government Central School, the result of the year's work has been tested as usual by means of a joint examination conducted by the Head-Master and myself. The general value of the year's work, as ascertained by these examinations, will be found summarized in the Head- Master's Report, but I subjoin the usual statistical tables which indicate, in detail, the progress made in 1887 by the several divisions and by each of the eleven classes of the School.

　　　　　12. Comparing the results of the year 1887, as tabulated above, with the results exhibited by the previous year's examinations, it is evident that the Government Central School not only maintains its high standard successfully, but continues making solid progress year by year. As to the comparative results achieved in the several sections of the School, Classes II, III, VII, X and XI distinguished them- selves particularly by a high average uniformly secured in almost every subject, excepting only Reading in Classes II and X and Arithmetic in Classes III and VII. Compared with last year, Class I did better in every subject with the exception of Euclid, History and Map-drawing, and the progress made in Dictation was specially to be appreciated. Classes IV and V appeared to be rather weak in Dictation and Arithmetic, but exhibited in all the other subjects sensible improvement, which was specially noticeable in the case of Class IV in Composition and Euclid and in the case of Class V in Grammar. Classes VI and VIII shewed good progress in the subjects of Dictation and Arithmetic but slightly poorer results in Translation. Class VII did very well in Reading, Dictation and Translation, but there was some falling off in Arithmetic and Map-drawing. Class IX did in most subjects better than in the previous year, with the exception of Dictation and Translation. The Chinese Classes of the School shewed on the whole satisfactory results, but especially so the Anglo-Chinese division where very marked progress has been made. The addition of Latin to the list of higher subjects taught in the Government Central School is a noticeable innovation, characteristic of the year 1887, which has added new subjects to the program of a number of other Schools in the Colony. In the carly years of the Government Central School, anything beyond a partial mastery of the English language was viewed by the Chinese boys of the School as an irksome burden and as a waste of time, but after a while, little by little, they came to appreciate Mathematics also and Chemistry, and at one time (1870) even the Theory of Music and Drawing were included among the subjects taught in the School. Chemistry, which for some years dropped out of the program, and Book-keeping, which has been taken up in several of the Grant-in-Aid Schools, are at the present day making their claims felt. But there is a danger of over- burdening youthful brains and teaching multa instead of the better multum. School-hours have already reached the limit of what is safe to health. Home-lessons, indispensable as they are, are already dangerously encroaching upon the time needed for exercise. The remedy appears to me to lic in forming a higher division over and above that which now includes the first class of the Government Central School. If scholars can be induced to stay in School a year or two longer, all the higher subjects like Chemistry, Book-keeping, Latin and Mathematical Drawing, and so forth, might be relegated to this senior division which eventually might be affiliated with some English University.

406 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 21ST APR., 1888.

　13. The Anglo-Chinese Schools of the Government, located at Saiyingp'un, Wantsai, Wong- naich'ung, Stanley and Yaumati do not call for special remarks this year. The examinations of these Schools shewed fair results, which is the more to be appreciated as in those Schools which are situated out of town there is, with the exception perhaps of Stanley, little support given to the efforts of the Master by the villagers, who care far more for good Chinese teaching than for English. The inhabit- ants of Shaukiwan have been petitioning during the year 1887 for re-introduction of English teaching in their Vernacular School, but although another attempt in that direction has to be made, it is always done in the villages at the imminent risk of spoiling a good Vernacular School by changing it into a badly attended Anglo-Chinese School, especially in places like Shaukiwan where several Chinese dialects are represented among the people.

　14. Those Government Schools and Aided Schools which hitherto gave a Chinese education, pure and simple, exclusively in the Chinese language and according to Chinese national methods, entered with the year 1887 upon a new phase of their existence, through the introduction of Arithmetic teaching, which is not only a striking departure from the groove of Chinese tradition but will prove the thin end of the edge for the introduction of class teaching, time table, mental training, and in short an approach to the methods and organization of a European School. For the present, the step taken in this direction is seemingly insignificant, and with one solitary exception the teachers of all the Schools, including even the Aided Schools in the Villages, took this step cheerfully. At the beginning of the year I supplied each Master with simple Addition and Multiplication Tables (in Chinese characters) and brief directions to teach all children under 10 years simple Addition whilst the rest were to be' taught both Addition and Multiplication. But I left it free to each Master to choose whatever method he might prefer, to use the Chinese abacus, to have sums done in writing, or to teach simply menta Arithmetic, in any way he pleased. The results obtained at the end of the year might be called sati factory, had they not been gained, in almost all cases, at the expense of Geography teaching, which was generally neglected in proportion as Arithmetic teaching was cultivated. Not one Master taught the use of the Chinese abacus. This is very significant and points in the direction of introducing the European method of Arithmetic, if the Masters can be led into it without driving. One Master boldly took up the European system of notation and taught, beside Mental Arithmetic, also Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication with the use of the black board and little wooden tablets (in the place of slates), making his children work out every sum in writing according to the European method. Another Master, resolved to use no foreign method whatever, but determined to teach Arithmetic strictly according to ancient Chinese models. So he took an old Chinese book, published some four centuries ago under the Ming dynasty, and actually taught his boys the four rules, and, in the case of the eldest class, he taught even the extraction of square root and cube root, with Chinese figures indeed but with the minutest adherence to the European method. In doing so, the Master gloried all the time in the notion that he was following exclusively Chinese principles, for he was blissfully unaware that his old Chinese book was the work of a Chinese pupil of MATTHEW RICCI. The next step that may be taken will be to supply each teacher with a simple manual for his guidance in teaching the four rules according to the European system of Arithmetic, and to do the same for the teaching of Chinese Geography.

　15. As regards the Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I, that is, Schools which give a Chinese educa- tion exclusively in the Chinese language, I subjoin a comparative Table exhibiting the results of the working of the Revised Scheme (of 1883) which came into operation in 1884. The aim of that revision was to increase the pensum of work to be done under the several Standards, to reduce the earning power of these comparatively in-expensive Schools and, finally, to encourage the teachers to bring more children under instruction in the higher Standards without skipping the lower ones.

16. It will be seen from the above Tables that the amounts earned by these Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I has increased from year to year but the rate of increase has been far below the natural increase of the number of children in attendance. It will further be observed that there has been from year to year an increase in the number of children annually brought forward into the higher Standards. The increase has indeed been rather small. Yet it is evident that the aim which was kept in view in revising the Scheme in 1883 has been fairly attained. There is, however, another point in connection with the above Table that requires comment. It appears from the above figures, on taking an average of the last four years, that from 1884 to 1887 the average number of scholars annually examined in the successive Standards of the Schools in Class I was as follows :-Standard I, 211 scholars; Standard II, 617; Standard III, 469; Standard IV, 135; Standard V, 32; and Standard VI, 9. At first glance, these figures appear to indicate that the children attending these Schools generally remain under instruction only some 3 or 4 years, that few stay in school 5 years, and that a very small proportion of children complete their course of education by reaching Standard VI. Now it is true indeed that, as a general rule, very few children and especially very few girls are left long enough in these purely Chinese Schools to finish their education there. But that does not prove that none of them continue their education in a higher Class of Schools. Chinese girls indeed are not sent to English Schools, and so far as they are concerned the above figures undoubtedly prove that Chinese girls are, as a rule, removed from school before they reach the highest Standards. But the above figures must also be read in the light of the fact that the vast majority of boys attending these Chinese Schools in Class I, pass on, after reaching Standard III or IV, into the Government Central School or into other English or Anglo-Chinese Schools (in Class IV of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme) to learn English there, whilst continuing, privately or in those Anglo-Chinese Schools, to keep up that Chinese knowledge obtained by them in the lower Standards of those Primary Chinese Schools in Class I. In other words, the above figures, whilst in- dicating a defect in the education of Chinese girls, shew also, in the case of boys, that those Primary Chinese Schools in Class I act as the natural feeders of our Middle Class Schools, so far as the Chinese population is concerned, and that in their case a sound knowledge of the vernacular is now generally made the preliminary stepping stone for reaching a sound English education. The same important principle has been recognized also, as I have shewn in former Reports, by the Portuguese community in this Colony. It is a principle which is now in India persistently urged upon educationists, since it has been generally recognized that the preservation of the vernacular in all Classes of Schools is required in order that the mental progress of the scholar may be reflected in his increased power to make use of his own language.

　　　　　17. The Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class III (Basel and Berlin Missions) continue to show good results. In these Schools, which give a European education (to Chinese Girls) in the Chinese language, a laudable tendency has of late set in, to confine the use of the Romanized system of writing Chinese within reasonable limits and to teach in the higher Standards as much as possible of the written Chinese character. Evidence of the beneficial effect of this movement presented itself in a marked manner at the examinations held at the end of the year 1887. Formerly showy results in Chinese composition and letter writing were obtained, in the Romanized character, in these Schools, but, through comparative neglect of the use of the written Chinese character, children who passed successfully Standard VI were generally left unable to read or write an ordinary Chinese letter or simple bill for goods bought or sold. At the last examinations I noticed in this respect a great change for the better. The Chinese girls in these Schools are, for instance, still taught to write in good colloquial prose (Romanized) answers to searching questions in the history of Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and Rome, but they are now also gaining profi- ciency in writing simple prose or ordinary letters in the common Chinese character. It is to be regretted that the history teaching of these Schools excludes at present, for want of a suitable manual, the history of China. But as besides History, also Arithmetic (as far as decimal fractions) and Geography are added in these Schools to the ordinary subjects of an elementary Chinese education, it must be admitted that the wide range of education given in these Schools is eminently satisfactory, and does credit to the Basel and Berlin Missions.

18. The Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class IV have made extraordinary progress in the year 1887. I referred in the previous year's Report to the stimulus which had been given to the educational move- ment in this Colony by the introduction (at the instance of Mr. C. J. BATEMAN, Headmaster of the Hongkong Public School) of the system of non-gremial examinations conducted by the Syndicate of the University of Cambridge. I expected this measure to exercise, in time, a great and healthful in- fluence towards raising the standard of English education in the Colony. I apprehended also certain draw-backs, temptations and dangers to attach themselves to this as to every other strong stimulative measure. Surveying now the educational work of the year 1887, I certainly see, even at present, some of the draw-backs I referred to, but the suddenness and the extent of the healthful impulse which the introduction of the Cambridge Local Examinations gave, in the year 1887, to the study of the higher branches of an English education, has surpassed all my expectations. There was hitherto only one School, the Diocesan Home and Orphanage, which, during the last 5 years, annually took up three of the special subjects of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, viz., Algebra, Euclid, and Physical Geography. But in 1887, suddenly 5 other Schools, St. Joseph's College, the two Victoria English Schools (including n a Girl's School), St. Paul's College (Anglo-Chinese School) and the Hongkong Public School,

408 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 21ST APR., 1888.

(recently placed under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme) took up those same special subjects. The Victoria English Schools came out strongest in this respect, gaining the proportionately largest number of passes, in Book-keeping (Turner's Commercial Guide and Hunter's Civil Service Examination Questions), Algebra, Euclid and Physical Geography. St. Joseph's College also distinguished itself both by the number of higher subjects taken up (adding Findlater's Astronomy to the other subjects), and by the thoroughness in which these subjects were taught. The increase in the expenditure, thus caused, made it necessary to subject all the various Classes of Schools to a uniform reduction of the grants-nominally earned. There was no injustice in including under this reduction also the Schools in Class I and III, because both those Classes of Schools, but especially the Chinese Schools in Class I, being comparatively in-expensive Schools, had all along an undue advantage annually earning from three fourths to nine tenths of their actual expenditure, whilst Schools in Class IV generally earn a grant covering, as the best, one fourth or one third of their expenses.

19. The Needle work Examination was conducted on the plan adopted several years ago which now appears to work satisfactorily. Greater strictness has been exercised in 1887 in excluding from examination, after timely previous warning, any kind of needle work which did not come clearly under the denomination of plain sewing. The aim is to encourage domestic and practically useful needle- work rather than decorative and fancy work.

20. Arrangements have been made, during the year 1887, to award the Hongkong Government Scholarship henceforth on the basis of written examinations conducted by the Syndicate of the Univer sity of Cambridge, the Inspector of Schools acting as Local Presiding Examiner. Opportunity wa also taken of this measure, which is virtually another effect of the introduction in the Colony of th above-mentioned Cambridge Local Examinations, to remodel the conditions of the Hongkong Gover. ment Scholarship in other respects.

SUPPLEMENT

To the HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE of 28th April, 1888.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 180.

　　　　　　The following Annual Report of the Director of the Observatory, for the year 1887, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 27th instant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th April, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 28th January, 1888.

SIR, For the information of His Excellency the Governor I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for 1887.

2. The distribution of the work among the different officials connected with the Observatory has been the same as explained in last year's report. The amount of information collected here concerning typhoons during the past year has been much greater than during previous years, and this work has pressed heavily on the clerks, who are, however, at the same time learning to do their work more quickly.

　　　　　　3. The Eastern Extension and the Great Northern Telegraph Companies, who so courteously transmit the extensive system of meteorological messages free of charge through their cables, rendered the greatest assistance during the stormy weather in September last by giving me information about the changes in the weather setting in at those stations, which were nearest the centres of the typhoons. The China Coast Meteorological Register, in which the daily information about the weather is published, being printed in several local newspapers the Government has not hitherto found it necessary to print a daily weather-report, so that the expenses, which are elsewhere by far the heaviest item in the cost of meteorological offices, are at the present time altogether saved in this Colony.

　　　　　　4. The salaries of several members of the staff being considered small in proportion to the practical importance of their duties, His Excellency has been pleased to allow me to submit applications for increases of salary when the estimates for next year are under consideration.

　　　　　　5. One year's trace made by the self-recording tide-gauge is now ready and no funds for hourly readings being available, I have had the honour to suggest that the monthly magnetic observations might be discontinued for some years, in order to allow the tabulation of tides to be proceeded with in the meantime, this subject, although not hitherto included in the work of the Observatory, being of very great importance.

　　　　　　7. Lunar distances are now less often than formerly observed on board ship to determine the longitude. There is no doubt that the too accurate and in consequence too complicated methods of reduction generally followed have been partly the cause of this. Occultations of stars claim still more complicated calculations to determine the longitude and are scarcely more accurate, being moreover phenomena of comparatively rare occurrence. The eclipses of Jupiter's Satellites promise to furnish a means of obtaining the longitude on board ship with more ease and accuracy than can be obtained from Lunars. It has therefore been my wish to pay attention to those observations as of importance to the shipping, and I expect to be able to do so in the course of the year.

S. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, &c.," meteorological instruments forwarded by observers, who regularly send their registers to the Observatory, are verified- here free of cost. During the past two years the following number of instruments has been verified and certificates issued:-

Barometers: 8; Thermometers: 12; Anemometer: 1.

　　　　　　The index-errors of barometers read off on board ship in typhoons are generally determined by aid of readings made near to or in this port, which are compared with the hourly readings in the Observatory.

436 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 28TH APR., 1888.

　　9. The number of transits observed during the past year was 313, and the inclination of the axis was determined 132 times. All the chronometers were cleaned and oiled and their rates satisfactorily ad- justed in the course of the year by a local firm of jewellers. The sidereal standard clock was stopped on the 7th October, 1887, and its rate corrected. The mean daily rates during ten-day periods are exhibited in the following table, where - means gaining, and losing rate :-

10. 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 Government

or Government Holidays. The ball was dropped .every working day in the past year, but failed to drop at 1 p. on May 27th, June 25th and October 27th, the failure being caused the first time by a broken covered wire in the polarized relay, the second time by the switch not having been properly turned, and the third time by the battery having become weak in comparison to the elasticity of the spring on the lock. On

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　On every occasion the defect was remedied and the ball dropped allright at 2 p.

11. The probable errors of the signal in the different months of 1887 (with the average percentage of clouded sky added in parenthesis) were as follows:-January 0.18 (90), February 0.31 (64), March 0.15 (75), April 0.28 (72), May 0.17 (81), June 0.16 (71), July 0.15 (73), August 0.11 (59), September 0.20 (64), October 0.11 (27), November 0.14 (41), December 0.18 (43).--The mean of the probable errors was 0.18.

　　　　　　12. The absolute values of the magnetic elements were observed by Mr. F. G. FIGG and Mr. MAHOMET ALARAKIA every month as usual, and the report is ready.

　　　　　　13. The monthly weather reports have all been published as soon as ready. They are arranged exactly as explained in last year's report. The clouds are classified as follows:-

Cirrus (c) is the finest and most lofty of all the clouds. It looks like hair, thread or feathers.

　　　　　　Cirro-cumulus (c-cum) is also a high cloud, but is more rounded in shape than the former and looks like small woolly tufts.

They They are often When covering the

Cirro-stratus (c-st.) form a sheet of uniform thickness high up in the atmosphere. seen in long straight streaks, that appear to radiate from a point of the horizon. whole sky they form a sort of vaporous transparent veil.

Stratus (str) is also a layer of cloud of generally uniform thickness but belongs to the lower regions of the atmosphere. It presents no variety of shade.

Cumulus (cum) consists of rounded heaps like enormous balls of wool.

　　　　　　Cumulo-stratus cum-str) is a cumulus dark and flat at its base traversed by horizontal streaks of dark cloud. It has often a coppery

hue.

Strato-cumulus (str-cum) is intermediate between cumulus and stratus. When the number of entries are counted, half is added to cumulus and the other half to stratus.

Roll-cumulus (R-cum) is formed by cumulus clouds lying apparently in long horizontal rolls.

Small-cumulus (sm-cum) are small white cumulus. They belong to a level between cirro-cumulus and cumulus.

Nimbus (nim) is a cloud from which rain is seen falling.

Cumulo-nimbus (cum-nim) has a uniform dark appearance like the true nimbus, but no rain is actually seen falling from it at the time of observation.

　　　　　　　14. The weather in January 1887 was quite abnormal. The rainfall was about six times larger than the average. The amount of clouds and the dampness were also excessive particularly the former, so that the rainy season appeared to have set in in the midst of the dry season and that was the case at every station in China from which reports are received. On the contrary the weather was remarkably dry and clear in March, gradients for NE winds continuing till the 29th of that month. On the 8th of April the damp weather set in, but the rainfall was very deficient in that month and also in May. The 1st of June was extremely dry and the barometric tide and daily variation of temperature excessive for the season as might be expected. The middle of that month was very squally with strong SW monsoon. Showers in the early morning hours were distinctly marked but electric phenomena were unusually rare. The thunderstorms during July came from unusual directions. In August the SW monsoon was strong, and the clouds unusually low, as was in fact the case all through the summer but still the rainfall was below the average. September was, characterised by an unusual number of typhoons in this neighbourhood as remarked at the end of the report for that month. The weather in October was very dry, clear and fine. On the 21st during N wind it was hotter in the puffs, reminding one of the Fohn in Switzerland. December was very dry and warm. At night time there occurred frequently a sudden change in the direction of the wind from about. E to about N with considerable rise of temperature and great decrease of humidity.

　　　　　　　15. Tables III-X inclusive exhibit the annual means and totals of meteorological phenomena and their frequency. The arrangement of the tables is explained in previous annual weather-reports. Tables XI and XII exhibit the five-day means arranged as in previous years. The total amount of rain measured daily at 10 a. and entered to preceding day was 66.29 at the Observatory, 61.73 at Stone Cutters' Island and 78.34 at the Peak. The total duration registered at the Observatory was 863 hours.. The rainfall was at least 0.01 inch on 153 days at the Observatory, on 112 days at Stone Cutters' Island and on 84 days at the Peak. The accuracy of these observations is in a great.measure due to the painstaking care of Mr. F. G. FIGG.

444 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 28TH APR., 1888.

. 16. Investigations concerning typhoons were continued during the past year. The results are partly contained in the already published Results of Further Researches concerning Typhoons, partly in a report containing exhaustive investigations of all the typhoons in 1886 and their paths, which is ready as well as the two maps exhibiting the paths, and partly in two minor papers about to be published one of which draws attention to an additional means of forecasting typhoons while the other explains the cause why typhoons are so frequent in the China Sea in September. It is hoped that these investigations will by degrees lessen the terrors of the Eastern Seas and that masters of vessels trading out here will in the future be enabled not only to escape damage from typhoons but to benefit by the favourable winds so as to make quicker voyages. The typhoons of 1887 have been provisionally investigated by aid of daily weather-maps drawn from the 1st July till the 1st November and by other means. In addition to the observations furnished by stations on shore, the log-books of 143 different vessels containing entries on 1561 days (counting those made on board different ships separately) are available. A great number of log-books have of course been looked through without entries bearing on typhoons having been found. The final investigation of the typhoons of 1887 will occupy my time during the next half year.

　　17. The remarks concerning typhoons, meteorological signals, and storm-warnings published in the China Coast Meteorological Register issued in the forenoon from here are reprinted below. The remarks, if not otherwise stated, refer to the state of the weather at 9 a. or 10 a. The position of the centre of the typhoon, as determined from a provisional discussion of observations subsequently received, is added in small print. The basis on which the information was founded is explained in a pamphlet: "The Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas," published in September, 1886 :--

　　　　　　Where the Valuation of any Tenement has been altered from that now in force, the Assessor has sent notice of such change to the Owner, if his address is known, or if not, to the occupier, with a request that he will hand the same to the Owner. The omission to serve such notice does not invalidate the Rate, or form any excuse for not appealing against any assessment within the prescribed time, viz., MAY 7TH TO 26TH, 1888.

　　The following Finding of the Marine Court, held on the 1st instant, to enquire into the grounding of the British Steam-ship Ashington, Official No. 63,010, of South Shields, WALTER REYNELL, Master, whose Certificate of Competency is No. 19, of Hongkong, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 5th May, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

　　We find that the British Steam-ship Ashington, official No. 63,010, of South Shields, of which WALTER REYNELL is Master, whose certificate of competency is No. 19, issued at Hongkong, while entering Hongkong Harbour on the night of the 20th April, grounded on the West Point of Hong- kong Island, in the channel named on the chart Sulphur Channel."

From the evidence before us. we are of opinion that the casualty was brought about through the helm being put to Port, instead of to Starboard, as had been ordered by the Master.

　　That, with the exception of the Master and Officers all the crew of the ship consisted of Chinese and the Quartermasters at the helm at the time of the accident were Chinese. The casualty occurred soon after midnight, and just after the change of watches had been made.

We are of opinion that no blame attaches to the Master or Officers, though we consider that it would have been more prudent had the Master--having in view the fact that he had only Chinese Quartermasters at the wheel-stationed an officer there to see that his orders were carried out; also that it would have been better not to have allowed the change of men at the wheel to be made just as the ship was entering a narrow channel.

The Master's certificate is therefore returned to him.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 1st day of May, 1888.

A BILL

ENTITLED

The Chinese Fugitive Criminals Extradition Ordinance, 1888.

BE the Gf the Legislative Council thereof,

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

as follows:-

1. In this Ordinance Extradition Crime means any crime or offence specified in the Schedule to this Ordinance, or duly declared to be an extradition crime under the provi- sions of section 9 of this Ordinance.

2. If a communication by any Officer of the Chinese Government is made or transmitted to a Judge of the Supreme Court requesting the arrest or rendition of any person being a Chinese subject and then within the Colony and alleging that such person has committed or is charged with having committed any extradition crime against the laws of China, the Judge may issue his warrant for the apprehension of such person.

In any warrant or order or proceedings issued or taken under the provisions of this Ordinance, it shall be sufficient to describe the crime of such person in terms the same as or similar to those contained in the communication men- tioned in this section.

3. A person arrested under a warrant so issued and hereinafter referred to as a fugitive criminal shall be brought forthwith before a Judge of the Supreme Court who shall investigate the alleged crime in the same manner as a Magistrate investigates a charge where a person is accused of having committed an indictable crime against the laws of the Colony, and shall exercise all the like jurisdiction and powers as a Magistrate in such case.

4. If at the close of the investigation it appears to the Judge that the fugitive criminal is a subject of China and that there is probable cause for believing that he has com- mitted the crime with which he is charged the Judge shall commit him to prison and shall direct the gaoler to detain him in prison until the gaoler shall receive an order from the Governor for the surrender of such person to a person to be designated in such order or for the liberation of such person. 5. If the Judge commits a fugitive criminal to prison, he shall inform him that he will not be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days, and that he has a right to apply for a writ of Habeas corpus.

6. Upon the expiration of the said fifteen days, or, if a writ of Habeas corpus is issued, after the decision of the Court upon the return to the writ, as the case may be, or after such further period as may be allowed in either case by the Governor it shall be lawful for the Governor by a warrant under his hand to order the fugitive criminal to be surrendered to such person as may in his opinion be duly authorised by the Chinese Government to receive him, and such fugitive criminal shall be surrendered accordingly.

7. It shall be lawful for the person designated in such warrant to receive, hold in custody, and convey out of the jurisdiction of this Colony the criminal mentioned in the warrant; and if the criminal escapes out of any custody to which he may be delivered on or in pursuance of such warrant, it shall be lawful to retake him in the same manner as any person accused of any crime against the laws of the Colony may be retaken upon an escape.

8. If any action be brought against any Officer of Police, or any other Person, for anything done in obedience to any warrant issued under the provisions of this Ordinance the proof of such warrant or order shall be a sufficient answer to such action, and the defendant or defendants on such proof shall be entitled to a judgment in his or their favour, and shall also be entitled to his or their costs as between Attorney and client.

9. The Governor may, from time to time, by Procla- mation in the Gazette, declare that any crimes specified in such Proclamation, and not included in the schedule to this Ordinance, shall be extradition crimes, and from and after the date of the publication of such Proclamation, the several crimes specified therein, shall come within the operation of this Ordinance as if the same had been originally in- cluded in the said schedule.

The Governor may, at any time, by Proclamation in the Gazette, declare that any crimes specified in the first schedule to this Ordinance, or which may be added to the said schedule as hereinbefore provided, shall no longer be extradition crimes, and from and after the date of the publication of such Proclamation, such crimes shall cease to be within the operation of this Ordinance.

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.

　　That all went well until the 28th of January, when during a squall, and while the hands were employed is shortening sail, the ship struck on the Brougham Shoal, in Latitude 9° 30' S. and Longitude 165° 30' E.

　　That she remained fast for about 10 minutes, during which time she bumped three or four times heavily, whereby she sustained considerable damage, and that she eventually worked herself off the reef.

That the crew were then sent to the pumps and an endeavour made to work the ship to her destination, but that this was eventually abandoned and a course shaped for the Island of Guam, in the Marianas Group, with the intention of trying to beach the ship and save the cargo.

　　That on the 29th of February, the Rock Terrace arrived off the Island of Guam and that an inspection was made from the ship for a suitable place for beaching, but this not being found and the crew being much worn out with pumping, all hands took to the boats and abandoned the ship.

That no lives were lost, and the greater part of the men's effects were saved, but not the ship's papers or Log-books.

That the crew remained at Guam until the 25th of April, when they were taken to Manila and from thence sent to Hongkong.

We are of opinion that the striking of the ship on Brougham Reef was brought about by a mistake in the position at Noon on that day, caused either or both by an unknown error in the chronometer and a defect in the Master's observation for Longitude, which had not been checked by the Mate. On this point, we do not consider that the Master was guilty of any wrongful act or default.

　　That while we commend the decision of the Master to endeavour to reach his Port of destination after the casualty, we are of opinion that the utmost endeavours were not made having this object in view. No attempt was made to ascertain with any certainty the actual damage that the ship's bottom had sustained, nor was any means adopted to try and stop the leak by placing a sail under the ship's bottom or any other method. The amount of water made by the ship does not appear to have been very excessive or of sufficient quantity to endanger her safety. It also appears that there was a steam donkey pump on board which was not used.

With reference to the abandonment of the ship, we are of opinion that it was premature. Having arrived off Guam, no attempt was made to communicate with the shore, though the boats were in good condition and the weather not very unfavourable, that no signals were made except that of distress (viz., the Ensign Union down) either to the shore or to a vessel seen to be at anchor in the Harbour. No attempt was made to anchor the ship and send on shore for assistance. The anchors were secured for sea and the chains unbent. Nor does the vessel appear to have been in any worse condition at this time than she was when she came off the reef, nearly five weeks previous.

The conduct of the Master in thus abandoning the ship, appears to us only explicable on the ground that the mental anxiety through which he had gone had temporarily undermined his reasoning powers, and the order for abandonment was given in a fit of despondency, also that it was done, as he thought, to save risking the lives of his crew; and while recognising this and his much-to-be-deplored want of harmony with his Mate and crew, we cannot absolve him from blame, and we regret to have to direct that his certificate be suspended for a period of six months, but recommend that a First Mate's certificate be issued to him during such suspension

The evidence before us forms our opinion that tlie conduct of the Mate, AUGUSTUS HARRIS, under the circumstances in his special sphere of duty was sufficiently culpable to amount to a wrongful de- fault. Instead of assisting the Master to the best of his ability under the trying circumstances, his course appears to have been one of rather more than passive resistance; and we are of opinion that had he acted differently, he might have sustained the Captain and have been the cause of saving at least the cargo of the ship. Under these circumstances, we direct that his certificate of competency as Master No. 1,648 issued at Yarmouth N. S. September, 1882, be suspended for a period of six months.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 12th day of May, 1888.

DOWNING STREET,

27th March, 1888.

SIR, I have the honour to transmit to you the accompanying copies of a Memorandum setting forth a system of orthography for Native Names of Places, which I request you will cause to be adopted in the Colony under your Government.

Full instructions for the application of the system are contained in the Memorandum.

I have the honour to be,

The Officer administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

KNUTSFORD.

cwse ou

for

The following SYSTEM OF ORTOGRAPHY FOR NATIVE NAMES OF PLACES, adopted by the Council of the Royal Geographical Society, approved by the Foreign and Colonial Offices, and used on the Admiralty Charts, is to be adhered to in future in all Intelligence Department Publications.

　1. No change will be made in the orthography of foreign names in countries which use Roman letters thus Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, &c., names will be spelt as by the respective nations.

　2. Neither will any change be made in the spelling of such names in languages which are not written in Roman character as have become by long usage familiar to English readers: thus Calcutta, Cutch, Celebes, Mecca, &c., will be retained in their present form.

3. The true sound of the word as locally pronounced will be taken as the basis of the spelling. 4. An approximation, however, to the sound is alone aimed at. A system which would attempt` to represent the more delicate inflections of sound and accent would be so complicated as only to defeat itself. Those who desire a more accurate pronunciation of the written name must learn it on the spot by a study of local accent and peculiarities.

　5. The broad features of the system are that vowels are pronounced as in Italian and consonants as in English.

　6. One accent only is used, the acute, to denote the syllable on which stress is laid. This is very important, as the sounds of many names are entirely altered by the misplacement of this "stress."

　7. Every letter is pronounced. When two vowels come together, each one is sounded, though the result, when spoken quickly, is sometimes scarcely to be distinguished from a single sound, as in ai,

au, ei.

　8. Doubling of a vowel is only necessary where there is a distinct repetition of the single sound:: thus Nuulua. Oosima.

9. All vowels are shortened in sound by doubling the following consonant, as in Yarra, Tanna, Mecca, Jidda, Bonny.

10. Indian names are accepted as spelt in Hunter's Gazetteer.

---

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

　　　　　　NOTICE is hereby given that- -on account of a recent survey of a section of the southern entrance of the Yangtze having shown that a Middle Ground or Shoal, from to of a mile in width and having from 6 to 18 feet of water on it, stretches nearly 7 miles in a south-easterly direction from a point N. 64° E., distant 21 miles from the Kintoan Beacon, and that the channel to the north-eastward of this Middle Ground is wider, deeper, and more direct than the one on its south-western side-the following changes have been made in this vicinity:→

"KIUTOAN" LIGHTSHIP.

This vessel has been moored in 4 fathoms off the south-western edge of Blockhouse Shoal, with the Kiutoan Beacon bearing $. 71° W., distant about 3,1 miles.

MIDDLE GROUND UPPER BUOY.

A red and black vertically striped Buoy, surmounted by a black triangular cage, has been moored on the north-western end of the Middle Ground, in 3 fathoms, with Kiutoan Beacon bearing S. 654° W., distant about 2,1 miles.

MIDDLE GROUND LOWER BUOY

A red and black vertically striped Buoy, surmounted by a black diamond-shaped cage, has been moored on the south- eastern end of the Middle Ground, in 3 fathoms, with House Island Beacon bearing N. 240 W., distant about 4 miles.

BLOCKHOUSE SHOAL BUOY,

This Buoy, No. 2 in the published List for 1888, has been removed.

Vessels entering by the channel to the north-eastward of the Middle Ground may now keep the Tungsha Lightship bearing S. 55° E. till she is 8 miles distant, and then steer to pass 2 cables to the south-westward of the Kiutoan Lightship; after which they may steer to make a course N. 56° W. till the small Kiutoan Beacon bears S. 45° W. All bearings and courses given are magnetic, and the depths are for low water spring tides.

CAUTION.

Vessels should not attempt to pass to the north-eastward of the Kiutoan Lightship in her present posinou.

pensation to an amount not exceeding 20s. for the loss and damage of Parcels sent by Parcel Post to the United Kingdom or the following British Colonies or Dependencies:-

Ascension, Barbados,

British Guiana,

Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent.

British Honduras, Cyprus,

Trinidad

　　　　　　The compensation given in case of damage will be in proportion to that which would have been given had the Parcel been lost-see Rule 7 below.

No legal liability to give compensation in respect of any Parcel will attach to the Postmaster General, either personally or in his official capacity.

or in his official capacity. Accordingly the decision of the Governor as to all questions of compensation will be final.

Subject to these conditions the following Rules will regulate the giving of compensation.

RULES AS TO COMPENSATION.

Posting and Packing of Parcels. 1.-The Parcel must be posted in the manner prescribed for the posting of Parcels by the Regulations for the time being, and the postage must be prepaid.

2.-The contents of the Parcel must be securely packed and enclosed in a reasonably strong case, wrapper or cover securely fastened, fit to preserve the contents from loss or damage in the Post, and in accordance with the regu- lations in force as to packing.

General Conditions.

3.--No compensation will be given in respect of- (a.) A Parcel containing any prohibited article. (b.) A Parcel containing money, a watch or jewellery. (c.) A. Parcel which has been delivered to the addres- see and in respect of which no complaint has been made at the time of delivery. 4.-No compensation will be given in respect of damage

to-

(a.) A Parcel containing any liquid or semi-liquid. (b.) A Parcel containing cggs or any other article of an exceptionally fragile character, or soft fruit or any other article which, from its nature, can- not with reasonable safety be sent by Post. (c.) A Parcel containing any perishable article where the damage arises from natural decay and the Parcel is delivered without undue delay. But in all such cases compensation will be given in respect of the loss of the Parcel or of any article contained therein. 5.-In every case it must appear that the loss or damage did not arise wholly or in part from the fault of the sender, and that it occurred while the Parcel was in the Post.

6. The compensation given will in no case exceed the value of the article lost or the damage sustained.

7. The compensation given in case of damage will be in proportion to that which would have been given had the Parcel been lost. Thus :-

(a.) Where the value of the Parcel does not exceed 20s. compensation will be given to the full amount of the loss or damage.

(b.) Where the value of the Parcel exceeds 20s., the compensation given will bear the same proportion to 20s. as the extent of the damage bears to the total value of the Parcel. For example, if a Parcel worth 40s. be damaged to the extent of one-half its value, 10s. and not 20s. will be payable.

In this Rule the expression damage includes the loss or abstraction of part of the contents of the Parcel.

　　　　　　　　8.-The Postmaster General will in every case either of loss or damage, if he thinks fit, re-instate the contents of a Parcel, instead of giving pecuniary compensation.

9.-Where compensation is given for the loss of a Parcel, or of any article contained therein, the Postmaster General will reserve the right to retain and dispose, as he thinks fit, of the Parcel or any such article, in case it should subsequently come into his hands.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

HONGKONG, MAY 15TH, 1888.

10.-In no case will the Postmaster General give com- pensation for injury or damage consequential upon the loss or damage of a Parcel, or any article contained therein.

11.-Without prejudice to any of the preceding rules the Postmaster General will, if he thinks fit, refuse to give compensation for loss or damage on any ground on which a Common Carrier might in like case claim exemption from legal liability.

Claims for Compensation.

12.-Every application for compensation should be made by letter addressed to the Postmaster General without un- necessary delay.

13. The certificate of posting should be produced when required.

14.-Where the application relates to the damage of a Parcel, or to the damage or loss of any article contained therein, the Parcel should be retained for inspection as nearly as possible in the state in which it was delivered.

15.-Where a Parcel when delivered bears signs of injury the recipient must call attention to the fact of such injury at the time of delivery, and should if possible open the Parcel in the presence of an officer of the Post Office.

16.-No application for compensation in respect of any Parcel will be entertained unless made within twelve months of the date of the posting of the Parcel.

Definition of Terms.

17.-In these Rules-

(a.) The term money means and includes-

(A.) Coin of all kinds whether or not current in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

or of

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 Mandarir 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, I have the honour to convey to you Her Majesty's gracious confirmation and allowance of the Ordinance No. 24 of 1887 of the Legislature of Hongkong, entitled An Ordinance for amending the Laws relating to Public Health in the Colony of Hongkong a transcript of which accompanied General CAMERON'S despatch No. 331 of the 27th of September last. I have already informed you of the confirmation of this Ordinance by my telegram of the 26th instant.

2. I request you to inform the Petitioners against this Ordinance, whose Memorial was transmitted with your despatch No. 9 of the 11th of January last, that I have carefully considered their Memorial, but that I do not think that there is any reason to fear that the Ordinance, which I consider to be necessary for the preservation of the health of the inhabitants of Hongkong, will lead to any of the evils which they anticipate.

Board, 10th Nov.,

3. I transmit to you, for your consideration, copies of correspondence with the Local Government CO. to L. Govt. Board, as noted in the margin, and have to express my regret for the delay in sanctioning the Ordinance, which was owing to the fact that I have only just received the observations C.O. to L. Govt. of that Department upon it.

PRESENT:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR

(SIR G. WILLIAM DES VEUX, K.C.M.G.)

His Honour the Acting Chief Justice (JAMES RUSSELL, C.M.G.), vice His Honour SIR

GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Knt., on leave.

The Honourable the Colonial Secretary, (FREDERICK STEWART).

the Attorney General, (EDWARD LOUGHLIN O'MALLEY).

the Colonial Treasurer, (ALFRED LISTER).

the Surveyor General, (JOHN MACNEILE PRICE).

the Captain Superintendent of Police, (WALTER MEREDITH DEANE).

JOHN BELL-IRVING.

CATCHICK PAUL CHATER.

The Council met pursuant to notice.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 27th ultimo, were read and confirmed.

VOTE REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Governor :-

C.S.O.

1045 of 1888.

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

　　　　　　　　The Governor recommends the Council to vote the sum of Two thousand Five hundred and $2,595.60. Ninety-five Dollars, and Sixty Cents for the Members of the Fire Brigade, in order to provide

for each Member an amount equal to 30 per cent. of his yearly salary.

　　　Experience has shown that the salaries of the Fire Brigade have become insufficient, in view of the increased size of the Town, and the greater frequency of fires; and in the absence of some increase to the remuneration, it will probably be impossible to maintain an effective

force.

On the other hand, the supply of water under high pressure, which may shortly be expected from the Tytam Water-Works, will very possibly lessen greatly the labours of the Brigade; and this contingency renders it inexpedient at the present time to make any permanent addition to the salaries.

564

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1888.

Until the new water-supply has been available for a sufficient time to enable the extent of Fire Brigade service required under the new conditions to be fully ascertained, the Governor proposes therefore that the question of extra-remuneration each year shall be considered with reference to the work actually done; and he recommends the above sum as a bonus for the past year in consideration of the exceptionally severe work which has been required in consequence of the unusually large number of fires.

The addition of a fixed proportion to the salary of each Member of the Brigade has, no doubt, the disadvantage that some Members will, relatively to the service rendered, be remu- nerated better than others. This plan has however been recommended, after much considera- tion, as on the whole less objectionable than any other which has been devised.

Government House, Hongkong, 7th May, 1888.

VOTES PASSED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.--The Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, laid upon the table the Report of the proceedings of the Finance Committee, (No. 22), held on the 27th ultimo, and moved that the following vote referred to therein be passed

SERVICES EXCLUSIVE OF ESTABLISHMENTS.

Roads, Streets and Bridges.

C.S.07 New Posts and Rails to Garrison Parade Ground,

2530 of 1887, $565.

$ 565.00

As regards the vote for additional Clerks for the Post Office, the Colonial Secretary explained that it required further consideration by the Finance Committee.

The Treasurer seconded.

Question-put and passed.

CHINESE EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.-Mr. MACEWEN, by permission, addressed the Council on the subject of the policy adopted by the Australian Government in preventing the immigration of Chinese subjects into the Australian Colonies.

The Governor replied.

VICTORIA COLLEGE.-Mr. MACEWEN, pursuant to notice, asked :--

The reason for the delay in the completion of Victoria College: whether the Surveyor General can name a fixed date when the Building will be ready for occupation.

The Governor said that he was not prepared to answer this question to-day, but hoped to be able to do so at the next meeting.

TYTAM WATER SUPPLY.-Mr. MACEWEN, pursuant to notice, asked the following question :-----

Presuming that water will be supplied to the Town by next November, is there to be a new distribution for Fire extinguishing purposes, and, if so, by what date will it be completed? Is such distribution included in the present estimated cost of the Tytam Water-Works? If not, what will the extra cost amount to?

The Surveyor General replied.

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDINANCE -Mr. MACEWEN, pursuant to notice, asked :----

What instructions the Government have received from the Colonial Office regarding the Public Health Bill which was passed by an official majority last session and suspended from operation pending the receipt of such instructions?

The Governor replied.

DESTITUTE WOMEN AND GIRLS.-Mr. MACEWEN, pursuant to notice, asked :-

For a return of the number of destitute Women and Girls at present in the Colony under the protection of the Government, the return to show the number in charge of the Tung Wa Hospital Committee;

The Honourable Member also called attention to the unsatisfactory nature of the arrangements at present in force for keeping and maintaining rescued Women and Girls; and moved the following resolution on the subject,--

That the Government immediately take steps to build a home or shelter of refuge for these destitute women and girls in the Colony.

Mr. WONG SING seconded.

The Colonial Secretary replied to the question.

The Governor said he would give the subject of the resolution his best consideration.

The following Minutes of the Sanitary Board are published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

567

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th June, 1888.

　　　　　Minutes of the Proceedings of the Sanitary Board at a meeting held in the Board Room on Tuesday, the 10th of April, 1888.

PRESENT:

The Honourable the Surveyor General, (Chairman).

The Colonial Surgeon.

The Registrar General.

The Honourable A. P. MACEWEN.

Major T. C. DEMPSTER.

Dr. PATRICK MANSON, LL.D.

Dr. JAMES CANTLIE.

Dr. Ho KAI.

Mr. WM. EDWARD CROW, (Secretary).

The Minutes of the meeting held on the 13th of March, 1888, were read and confirmed.

　　　　　1. The question of granting licences for the keeping in private sheds of cattle intended for slaughtering was considered, and the Secretary was directed to forward to the Colonial Secretary the Board's recommendation that measures should be introduced to make the keeping of such cattle, in the Government depot at Kennedy Town, compulsory.

　　　　　The Secretary was further directed to invite the attention of the Government to the extreme desirability of considering at an early date the question of the housing of sheep and swine, as the present arrangements are far from satisfactory.

　　　　　2. Read a minute from Mr. FORD concerning the granting of grazing permits to goat keepers. The Secretary was directed to give effect to the Board's recommendation that, whenever goat licences were issued on behalf of the Board, a memo. should be attached informing licencees that permits, granting authority to graze, would be issued by the Director of the Botanical and Afforestation Department.

　　　　　3. Read a letter (No. 368) from the Colonial Secretary regarding the establishing of an epidemic hospital in a suburban site as recommended by the Board at its last meeting. It was decided to let the question stand over for further consideration pending an enquiry by the Chairman and the Colonial Surgeon, as to the accommodation it would be necessary to provide for nurses, attendants, &c.

　　　　　4. A recommendation of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department to plant Cryptomeria Japonica in the gathering ground of the Pokfulam Reservoir was considered. Resolved, the Board concur in Mr. FORD's proposition, but would suggest that the trees be planted at considerable distances apart. The Chairman dissented on the ground that it was not desirable to encourage vegetation in the gathering ground of the Reservoir, but waived his objection in view of the otherwise unanimous opinion of the Board.

　　　　　5. The Secretary reported that the mat-sheds at the Civil Hospital which had been put up for the accommodation of Small-pox patients during the recent epidemic were no longer needed by the Medical authorities and requested instructions as to their disposal. The Board advised that the structures be burnt on the spot, the fir poles alone being disinfected and saved.

The Board then adjourned.

Read and confirmed, this 31st day of May, 1888.

SUPPLEMENT

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 259.

　　　　　　The following Report of the Superintendent of Fire Brigade, for the year 1887, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 4th instant, is published for general information.

No. 8.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th June, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 20th February, 1888.

　　　　　　SIR, I have the honour to present the following report in connection with the Fire Brigade for the year 1887.

The year has been characterized by an unusual number of fires, some of which have attained serious proportions, but the greater part of which have been soon extinguished. There were nearly three times as many fires as the maximum number recorded in any previous year and the resources of the Brigade have been very fully taxed. To those who know how easy the spread of a fire is in the crowded Chinese town with its back to back houses, and narrow lanes, I think the Brigades may be congratulated on the success that has attended their efforts.

　　　　　　In one of these fires only has a charge of incendiarism been made. It was made at the instance of an Agent for a German Insurance Office, and was committed for trial at the Supreme Court, where the defendant was acquitted without being called upon to make his defence.

　　　　　　I understand that a civil suit is pending in connection with this trial and I forbear therefore from dwelling upon this particular case. Generally speaking, however, I may say that the practice of in- suring contents of Chinese houses without any check beyond what is caused by the self-interests of the parties concerned is a grave source of temptation, and is fostered by the interests both of those who insure and of those who accept the risks.

　　　　　　Even supposing abuses not to arise it is inexpedient to give opportunity for them and the danger created by the facilities for bad practices is aggravated by the difficulty of detecting and exposing such as take place, and by the natural reluctance which a Company concerned only with its own interests feels to take the initiative by refusing a claim.

　　　　　　In the interests of the Brigade I think it would be well if it were made obligatory upon Insurance Companies and Agencies to furnish the Superintendent or the Government with full particulars as to date, amount and nature of policies effected in houses in which fires occur, and thus possibly to afford some idea as to how far Insurance and fires stand to each other in the relation of cause and effect. do not think there would be any reluctance to give the information, and it might in time form a valuable record.

　　　　　　It is possible however that when systematic enquiries on oath are made, other causes such as the indiscriminate and careless use of Kerosine oil, or the increase of accidents arising with the growth of the population may be found to be the prime promoters of conflagrations, but the tendency of insuring is undoubtedly to give rise to incendiarism, and even apparent carelessness may be the result of careful forethought.

　　　　　　Two or three cases of undoubted incendiarism have come under my own notice, occurring not necessarily in the house in which the fire originated, but in the house adjoining it, and I am credibly informed that on the occasion of the large fire in Queen's Road West some weeks ago, the fire broke out simultaneously in three different houses separated from each other and with no possibility of inter- communication of the flames.

　　　　　　The fires of the past year have been marked by some painful incidents. Towards the close of the extensive conflagration in Queen's Road West to which I have just referred a member of the Government Fire Brigade named Fox lost his life in venturing into a house, the upper portion of which was in a dangerous state. The house collapsed and fell down upon him while he was inside.

582 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 9TH JUNE, 1888:

In another case, six Chinese lives were lost. The fire broke out in a room on the first floor and communicated itself to the stair-case before the inmates above were made alive to their danger. There were no means of escape either by the roof or by windows and all six lost their lives.

The last incident that occurred was at an extensive fire in Bonham Strand, where, without a minute's warning, five houses fell outwards across the street resulting in the most serious injuries to Mr. Ross the foreman of the Volunteer Fire Brigade. A member of the Government Fire Brigade was also slightly injured, but to those who witnessed what took place, it was a mercy that no more harm was done than was actually occasioned, as there were at least six firemen whose position at the time seriously jeopardized their lives.

It may not be out of place at the commencement of another year to take stock of the existing con- dition of the Fire Brigade and of its adequacy to meet the requirements of the Colony.

　At the present moment the Fire Brigade consists of thirty three Europeans of whom seventeen are firemen, six engine drivers, and the rest, superintendents, foremen, and assistant foremen, and of ninety-one Chinese firemen besides stokers and interpreters. The pay of the European firemen is four dollars and fifty cents a month and that of a Chinese fireman from one dollar and fifty cents to one dollar. The foremen, stokers, and interpreters are of course paid at a higher rate. The Brigade is further strengthened by the services of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Volunteers, the Pawnbrokers, and other bodies all of whom have been present on every occasion of a fire and have rendered most valuable services.

　The head quarters of the Fire Brigade are at No. 5 Police Station in Queen's Road. Watchmen are stationed at the Clock Tower and at the Tower of the Fire Brigade Station, and upon an alarm of fire the bells are rung at the Central Police Station, at the Fire Brigade Station and at the Clock Tower. Three separate strokes indicate a fire west of the Harbour Office, two separate strokes a fire between the Harbour Office and the Murray Barracks, and one stroke a fire east of the Murray Barracks.

　The Engines are located at the Fire Brigade Station. They are four in number, not including the floating engine which is known as the No. 1 Engine. The latter is located in the harbour near Yau- mati. It is an invaluable engine and can throw four jets of some sixty feet high. It has recently been modified with a view to increasing its speed and it is now capable of steaming at a rate of about eight knots an hour.

　In addition to the steam engines I have mentioned, there are also a certain number of manual engines stationed in different parts of the island. So far as the City of Victoria is concerned, there is one at Government House, one at the Central Police Station, one in Hollywood Road, one at the Harbour Office and one at Saiyingpun. There are also boxes with fire appliances in various parts of the Town.

　Practically speaking however the main strength of the Brigade is at the Fire Brigade Station. At an alarm of fire in the City of Victoria, a telephonic signal is immediately sent to what is known as the No. 2 Tank. This tank is situated in Caine Road, and supplies the City of Victoria with water from the Pokfulam Reservoir. The water is distributed by two main pipes from which branch out smaller pipes throughout the Town. Its limits are broadly speaking Queen's Road at the foot of Gough Street to the west, Queen's Road to the north and the City Hall to the east. At frequent intervals are what are known as strect fire plugs. They are distinguishable by iron plates level with the street, and on removing this iron plate, hose can be attached. Many of these plates have a raised knob on the top of them. The knob is to distinguish them from the other plates that are without them, and indicates that they are stop plugs, that is to say that they are merely for the purpose of shutting off water. Before this distinguishing mark was put, the greatest confusion often resulted, and much time was lost in waiting for water at one of these stop plugs, when there was none to come.

The No. 2 Tank is in its turn supplied from another tank at the western end of Robinson Road. These are the two chief distributions of This tank also supplies Caine Road and some other streets. water from the Pokfulam Reservoir. There are other subsidiary supplies which are strictly local. One is in Glenealy Ravine and supplies the Gaol and Police Barracks. Another is above the Government Civil Hospital and another near the Albany. Wanchai, as far as the City Hall, is supplied from the tank that is to be seen in the Wong-nei-chung Gap.

Generally speaking the fresh water supply is very unsatisfactory. It is uncertain inasmuch as it is not always running, it is inadequate and its pressure is not uniform. Much of its possible pressure is also diminished by leakage throughout the houses in which it is distributed along its route to the fire and by other causes such as the friction of the pipes, and sudden changes in their diameter. In reducing therefore the working of the Brigade to a system, it is impossible to regard the fresh water supply as other than a very poor adjunct, and in almost every instance recourse is had to the harbour.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 9TH JUNE, 1888. 583

　　　　　In starting the engines in connection with the harbour, consideration has to be given to the locality of the fire. Experience has shown that it is impossible to safely work pressure to a higher point than is able to afford a sufficient jet for houses placed between Queen's Road and the harbour. The rule therefore is to work direct from the harbour with all houses comprised within those bounds, but in the case of fires at a higher level than Queen's Road, the engines are distributed at intervals up the hill as far as may be required; they are connected the one with the other with hose and each engine pumps into the other until the level of the fire is reached. All this occasions great wear and tear of engines and hose and fire materials, and leaves only a very limited supply of water when the fire is reached, but it is inevitable so long as the fresh water supply is arranged as at present. Nor do I see that the increased supply of water from Tytam will much improve matters unless with it there is an increase of pressure, a uniformity of distribution and a certainty of water at all times.

　　　　　It is impossible to insist too much upon the element of certainty. It is not as if fires could be met by arrangements devised for them at the moment. They must be treated in accordance with general arrangements applicable to all cases, and of these the first desideratum is water, and until one can base one's arrangements upon the certainty of a sufficient fresh water supply at any given point, the harbour must be regarded as the single basis of one's calculations.

The hilly nature of the site of the City of Victoria would seem to point to a system of high level tanks as being that best adopted for the requirements of the Town. In the case of a fire spreading up the hill it would be of immense advantage to be able to meet it from above and the constant growth of the Town up the hill points still further in this direction. Nor am I at all sure that with such a system, if properly devised and carried out, the necessity for land steam engines will not almost entirely cease to exist. The cost would of course be considerable and it may not be thought to be worth while to incur it. The proposed Praya reclamation scheme, however, if carried out, will necessarily bring this matter to the front, and in the meantime I would merely ask His Excellency's attention to the question and also to the consideration as to the extent to which the working of the reclamation scheme will interfere with the water supply from the harbour.

The following is the arrangement at present in force with regard to the steam engines. Three of the engines proceed to the Praya. Two of them run out hose to the fire. The other stands by with fires lighted, but does not run out hose until the order is given. The fourth engine remains in the station in reserve. Each engine has its own hose reel, and the branch pipes have special marks to indicate to which engine they belong. In order that in the confusion the branch pipes may not be attached to the wrong hose, a slight delay takes place between the removal of each engine from the station, and the driver is under orders to see that his engine never starts without the proper hose reel accompanying it. With a view further to obviate any miscarriage from hurry or ignorance or neglect, duplicate branch pipes are supplied, two being tached to each engine and two to each hose reel. The branch pipe is frequently termed the nozzle, but strictly speaking the term "nozzle" is applicable only to the end of the branch pipes from which the water issues.

Generally speaking the efforts of the Brigade have been directed rather to the simplification of duties and to the instruction of the men in a few broad elementary rules with regard to the running out of hose, the protection of the adjoining property, and such like matters, together with the provision before hand of all such arrangements as are likely to be of service on the occasion of a fire.

　　　　　　Owing to the constitution of the Fire Brigade, which consists of Policemen who have in the first place to consider their Police duties, it is not possible to assign particular duties to individual firemen and it has been sought rather to familiarize each one with the elementary rudiments of Fire Brigade drill, and by a careful prearrangement and simplification of appliances and by general rules as to dealing with fires, to minimize the drawbacks occasioned by the impossibility of assigning special duties to selected individuals.

Among some of the principal changes that have been made in this direction, I may mention the substitution of a broad thread screw for the narrow thread that it was customary to use in the hose couplings. A great saving of time and labour has been effected by this change, and it has been found to be of the greatest possible advantage to the Brigade. Another change that has been found very valuable has been the institution of a light service in the form of what is termed a "Supply Cart." This Cart can be drawn by two men, and contains all the necessary appliances for dealing with a fire at the outset. Inasmuch also as it has been found that very frequently a fire without actually spread- ing to an adjoinning house, will ignite it inside to the extent of making it necessary to play water upon the incipient flames, the Supply Cart carries with it two hand pumps and two extincteurs, which have been constantly found sufficient to extinguish the flames, when without these appliances resort must have been had to a hose, with the consequent delay of stopping the engine, attaching a new length, and a great destruction of property by a deluge.of salt water, even supposing the flames to have not made uncontrollable way in the interval.

　　　　　　Other changes of a similar kind have been made, of which I have already mentioned the duplicate branch pipes, and in which I may include the institution of reserve hose reels to be taken to the fire

584 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 9TH JUNE, 1888.

and used exclusively for adding new lengths when required, instead of as formerly having recourse to the engines when additional lengths were wanted, and lastly the practice of indiscriminately cutting down wood work has been entirely abandoned. No wood work can now be cut down without the order of an officer, and such an order is seldom required. In the opinion of many the spread of the great fire in 1878 was largely due to the immense destruction of wood work on that occasion, the streets in some places being blocked with shutters and broken timbers which at one and the same time impeded the movements of the Brigade, and served as a bridge for the flames.

　With regard to the spread of fires they are occasioned by the beams and rafters of the roof of the house on fire being in contact with those of the adjoining houses, and in many cases protected from access by the ceiling below; also by the falling of lighted matter through the smoke holes of neighbouring houses, and again by projecting verandahs which probably contain inflammable articles. Heat alone is often sufficient to ignite either the opposite houses, or anything near that is capable of catching fire. A double brick-wall is however absolute protection to the extent of the space covered by it. The clothes stands on roofs though invariably igniting have not so far as my experience goes been a principal cause of fires spreading. They consist only of upright and horizontal bars, with hollow spaces between them, and do not readily burn.

　The accompanying report from Mr. BREWER will show the state of the engines at the present time. They have worked well throughout the year, and have been carefully tended by Mr. BREWER, the Engineer, and Mr. WAGNER, the Assistant Engineer.

　There is great need of another floating engine. The present floating engine lies at Yaumati, and is not immediately available for service on this side. Also when a fire occurs anywhere on the other side or in the harbour, there is no launch at the disposal of the Brigade for taking the men to these places. What is required is a floating engine similar to that now in use, and capable of trans- porting men to different parts of the Island. At present if the existing floating engine breaks down, there is nothing able to take its place, and considering the vast shipping interests in the harbour, and the valuable property located at Yaumati, the Naval Yard, Kowloon, and Hunghom, one floating engine is not enough. The nature of the country on the other side does not admit of the transport of land engines, and the only practicable method of dealing with fires there is by floating engines. I trust therefore that His Excellency will give this matter his favourable consideration and will sanction the purchase or construction of another floating engine.

Also I think the European element of the Brigade should be further increased. Men who before were available for fire duties have now to attend to engines, and considering the growth of the town I do not think an increase of ten men would be by any means out of place. We are always hampered by want of men, some being in Hospital and some on Police duty, and at the initiatory stages of a fire- the want of a sufficient European complement is much felt, as it is on them that the Superintendent Police firemen has mainly to rely to see that his general system of organisation is properly carried out. are not allowed to leave their beat to go to a fire, so that the nominal strength of the European element is reduced by one half at the outset, and to this must be added absence from sickness and other causes.

　On the other hand I think the Chinese element might be largely reduced. With an increased European element, I think we might easily dispense with a sufficient number of Chinese to balance the additional expense in the increased European element, so that the change could be accomplished without further cost to the Brigade.

　I will conclude this report with a return of fires and alarms of fires during the past year. The origins assigned to the different fires given in the schedule must be accepted with reservation, and are not to be taken as authoritative.

　I have only to add that the Brigade has enjoyed the hearty co-operation of the officers and men, throughout the year, who have all worked well under the exceptional strain that has from time to time been put upon them.

I have the honour to be,

HONGKONG, 5th January, 1888.

Annual Report on Fire Engines.

　　　　　　SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith a report on the state of the Government Fire Engines for the year ending 31st December, 1887.

No. 1 Floating Fire Engine by Merry Weather.

　　　　　　This engine is 19 years old, and was formerly a land engine on wheels, but was found too heavy for the roads and cumbersome of transportation; it was therefore put into a launch in March, 1883, and has since done good service. The Boiler is now 10 years old, and requires a new fire box. It was intended to execute this repair some months ago, but it was postponed pending the arrival of the new engine from England. The fresh water tanks are rusting internally, and require to be removed for scraping and painting and generally overhauling, I would recommend this be done immediately after the Chinese New Year.

　　　　　　The machinery and hull of the launch are in good order and with a view to increasing the speed of the launch, a new propeller of more suitable design is now fitted.

No. 2 Steamer by Merry Weather.

　　　　　　This Engine is 19 years old. It was fitted with a new boiler in 1878 and new steam cylinders by Messrs. FENWICK & Co. in 1886. The Engine is of obsolete type and too heavy for our roads, proof of which, it has on two occasions broken through the roads and sunk up to its axles. The engine has however done good service feeding the small engines on high levels with salt water. This engine should be supplemented by one of modern type lighter more powerful and a quick generating boiler (as the present one takes 25 minutes against the modern one of 75 minutes to raise steam.)

No. 3 Steamer by Shand and Mason.

　　　　　　This Engine is 8 years old and was formerly of the auxiliary cylinder type. It was altered last year upon my recommendation, the auxiliary cylinder removed and a balance wheel substituted, which has rendered the engine more efficient and has given every satisfaction. In consequence of the age of the boiler, I have reduced the working pressure of steam to 75 lbs. which has necessarily somewhat handicapped the engine in its work. In my last year's report I recommended a new fire box which I find it is impracticable to attach, and would suggest that Messrs. SHAND & MASON receive instructions to send out a new boiler complete, which we can fix here.

No. 4 Steamer by Shand and Mason.

This Engine is 5 years old and is in excellent condition. New valves have been fitted and the working parts adjusted.

No. 5 Steamer by Shand and Mason

　　　　　Was supplied upon my recommendation last year. This engine is of the most modern type, and has proved a valuable auxiliary to our fire extinguishing apparatus.

　　　　　"Stanley" Floating fire pump has only been used once during the past year, and is not available on emergency, as the launch is kept at Stone Cutters' Island.

The manual engines 9 in number, are all in good working order.

Generally. Though the calls on the Fire Brigade have been heavy this year, I am happy to state that no Engine has been totally disabled during a fire, and no serious breakdown has occurred at any time, yet I am still of opinion, we have not sufficient engines for the increasing size of the Colony, as two fires at the same moment would drain our resources, and an engine laid up for repairs renders our appliances insufficient.

I have the honour to be,

From it the summit of Tayung bears N. 26° W., distant 8 cables; the rock off the south point of the island W. by N. of S.E. Horn, in line with the summit of Morrison Island, bears N. 694° E., distant 2.6 miles; and S.W. Horn bears N. 73 W., distant 6 miles. The position of this rock is generally indicated by chow water. It is named Huxley Rock.

　　　　　"The highest and left-hand peak of Tripoint Island, just open of the south point of the S.E. bay of Tayung bearing N. 19° W. leads 3 cables east of the Huxley Rock.

[ No. 115 of the year 1888.

RED SEA.

Position of Avocet Rock.

With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 190 of 1887, on reported sunken rocks northward of Jebel Zukur island :- Telegraphic information has been received from Lieutenant and Commander T. F. Pullen, H.M. Surveying vessel Stork, that he has found a small coral patch, with a least depth of 15 feet, situated in lat. 14° 22' 8" N., long. 42° 41′ 39′′ E. This is undoubtedly the danger on which the steam vessels Avocet and Teddington struck during last year. It lies midway between the two best positions, which, from conflicting evidence, could be assigned to the respective vessels when they struck. The depths around the rock are 28 to 30 fathoms.

The Stork's search is the fourth that has been made by H.M. Ships, before this small danger has been re-discovered. Vessels passing down the Red sea should keep to the westward of this rock, and should remember that irregular lateral currents sometimes set across the sea; and if when on the homeward voyage they pass eastward of Abu Ail, care should be taken to steer to the westward after rounding that island, until Jebel Zukur summit bears about S.S.E. E.

　　　　　　　There is little doubt that the loss of the Avocet was due to one of the lateral currents above mentioned, as not only was the steam vessel St. Oswald, in company with the Acoce, also to the castward of the correct track, but other vessels passed on both sides of the two vessels while stopped to save the crew of the Aroczi.

(The bearing is Magnetic. Variation 4° Westerly in 1888.)

Reef Reported Westward of Cartier Islet.

　　Information has been received through the Board of Trade, that the Master of the Barque Millicent, reports the existence of a reef, which dries at low water, and on which that vessel was wrecked on 5th January 1888, situated in lat. 12° 35′ S., long. 123° 16′ E.

　　NOTE.-The above position is extremely doubtful, but as the whole of the vicinity is very imperfectly surveyed, and it is possible that many more reefs may exist than those laid down, Mariners are warned accordingly.

1. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' service, on claiming his return passage, under §16 of Ordinance 14 of 1887, apply through the Captain Superin- tendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.

2. Should this application be approved, the Applicant will receive half pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified; subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about three months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.

　3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the half pay, or the difference between his pension and half pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colony, in case he does not return at the period specified.

4. This period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on such ground as may to him be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections I, II, and III, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

　5. Such leave shall enable the Applicant to count his previous service as regards the time of service required before a pension is granted, and each period of two months on leave shall count as one month's service towards the computation of a pension.

　6. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§8 and 13 of Ordinance

a. That the Applicant's previous character has been good.

b. That the leave does not exceed six months, except on special authority.

d. That half pay is granted for the period on leave, and the return passage of the Applicant defrayed. These amounts will be paid on the Applicant's return to the Colony and re- enlistment.

e. The number of men on leave will be limited at the discretion of His Excellency the

[27th April 1888.] HEREAS the raising or keeping of a standing army within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against law:

And whereas it is adjudged necessary by Her Majesty and this present Parliament, that a body of forces should be continued for the safety of the United Kingdom and the defence of the possessions of Her Majesty's Crown, and that the whole number of such forces should consist of one hundred and forty-nine thousand six hundred and sixty- seven men, including those to be employed at the depots in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the training of recruits for service at home and abroad, but exclusive of the numbers actually serving within Her Majesty's Indian possessions: And whereas it is also judged necessary for the safety of the United Kingdom, and the defence of the possessions of this realm, that a body of Royal Marine forces should be employed in Her Majesty's fleet and naval service, under the direction of the Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, or the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral aforesaid :

And whereas the said marine forces may frequently be quartered or be on shore, or sent to do duty or be on board transport ships or vessels, merchant ships or vessels, or other ships or vessels, or they may be under other circumstances in which they will not be subject to the laws relating to the government of Her Majesty's forces by sea:|

And whereas no man can be forejudged of life or limb, or subjected in time of peace to any kind of punishment within this realm by martial law, or in any other manner than by the judgment of his peers and according to the known and established laws of this realm; yet nevertheless it being requisite, for the retaining all the before- mentioned forces, and other persons subject to military law, in their duty, that an exact discipline be observed, and that persons belonging to the said forces who mutiny or stir up sedition, or desert Her Majesty's service, or are guilty of crimes and offences to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, be brought to a more exemplary and speedy punishment than the usual forms of the law will allow :

And whereas the Army Act, 1881, will expire in the year one thousand eigh t hundred and eighty-eight on the following days:

(a.) In the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, or

the thirtieth day of April; and

(b.) Elsewhere in Europe, inclusive of Malta, also in the West Indies and

America, on the thirty-first day of July; and

(c.) Elsewhere, whether within or without Her Majesty's dominions, on the

thirty-first day of December:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

1. This Act may be cited as the Army (Annual) Act, 1888.

　　　　　　　2.-(1) The Army Act, 1881, shall be and remain in force during the periods (44 & 45 Vict. c. 58.) herein-after mentioned, and no longer, unless otherwise provided by Parliament; that

specified times.

A military prisoner while in a public prison shall be confined, kept to hard labour, and otherwise dealt with in the like manner as an ordinary prisoner under a like sentence of imprisonment;"

And whereas doubts have arisen as to whether such a prisoner may be detained in and removed to or from a hospital for the prison when the hospital is detached from the prison, and it is expedient to remove such doubts: Be it therefore enacted as follows:-

There shall be added to section sixty-three of the Army Act, 1881, at the end of the third sub-section, the following enactment :-

In sub-section one of section one hundred and fifty-one of the Army Act, 1881, the words "where the persons so subject are resident within the local jurisdiction shall be substituted for the words "within the jurisdiction."

BRITISH VICE CONSULATE,

ILOILO, 25th May, 1888.

DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING THE PORT OF ILOILO.

After rounding Anini (Southernmost point of Panay) steer E.N.E. magnetic course for St. Ana on the island of Guimeras, and as the coast is bold can stand close in until point Cabalic and Cape Bondolin are in a line, then steer straight up passing mile off Cape Cabalic and 200 yards off Bondolin.

These instructions are given as on entering the Port of Iloilo, Capes Bondolin and Dapdap, which are very prominent heads (the latter being at the Northern entrance to the harbour), are often mistaken by strangers when entering from the South for points Cabalic and Bondolin, thus causing them to steer their vessels on to the Oton Bank. Cabalic being no higher than the rest of the coast in looking from the Westward is difficult to distinguish, but from St. Ana or the South is easily recognized.

papers ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of Registry or other the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificates of Registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships:

As regards sailing ships, that merchant sailing ships of the said Kingdom of the Nether- lands, the measurement whereof after the said 1st day of January, 1876, has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such regis- ters and other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificate of Registry of British sailing ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

2. As regards steam ships, that merchant ships belonging to the said Kingdom of the Nether- lands which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine-room, the measurement whereof shall, after the said 1st day of January, 1876, have been ascertained and denote in the registers and other national papers of such steam ships, testified by the dates thereof. shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted on such registers or other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to. and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificate of Registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships. Provided nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any such Dutch steam ship desires the deduction for engine-room in his ship to be estimated under the rules for engine-room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the Dutch rule, the engine-room shall be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules, and that in the event of any such steam ship possessing a certificate of tonnage or other national paper issued as aforesaid on or after the 6th day of January, 1888, denoting the net registered tonnage of such ship under the British rules. the ship shall be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted thereon.

| No. 145 of the year 1888. ] AUSTRALIA-SOUTH COAST.

LACEPEDE BAY.

(1.) Sunken Rocks Reported south-Westward of Nation Rock and North-Westward of Cupe Jaffa. Information has been received from the Marine Board of South Australia, dated 9th January 1888, of the existence of the following sunken rocks, lying respectively south-westward of Nation rock, and north-westward of cape Jaffa, Lacepede bay, South Australia :----

698

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH JULY, 1888.

(1.) A rock of small extent, having a least depth of 7 feet at low water, and with 54 fathoms a quarter of a cable of all round, is situated about one mile south-westward of Nation rock.

Position, lat. 36° 41′ 45′′ S., long. 139° 49′ 30′′ E.

(2.) Two rocky heads, lying about 6 yards apart, and having a depth of 12 feet over them, are reported to be situated about three-quarters of a mile east-ward of No. 1 rock.

Position, lat. 36° 41′ 45′′ S., long. 139° 50′ 30′′ E.

(3.) A rock is reported to be situated with cape Jaffa lighthouse bearing about S. by W. W., distant 22 miles, and cape Jaffa S.E. E. Although this rock is stated by the Harbour-Master at port Caroline to be well known to the lighthouse-keepers, it was not found in a search made by the commander of the Colonial steam-vessel Governor Musgrave, and its existence is considered doubtful.

Position, as reported, lat. 36° 55′ 15′′ S., long, 139° 37′ E.

AUSTRALIA-EAST COAST.

(2) Shoal Ground North-Eastward of Cartwright Point.

The Government of Queensland has given Notice, dated 20th March 1888, of the existence of shoal ground, north- eastward of Cartwright point, northward of Moreton bay, east coast of Australia.

A rocky patch, about 2 cables in extent, the depth on which does not exceed 5 fathoms, lies midway between Gneering shoal, and the 8 fathoms patch 2 miles to the eastward; this 5 fathoms patch is situated with Cartwright point bearing S.W., distant 3 miles. In bad weather the sea breaks heavily on the above patch, and also on Gneering shoal.

At a distance of half a mile eastward of the above 8 fathoms patch, the depth does not exceed 73 fathoms, and broken water is said to have been seen still further to the south-eastward. Vessels are therefore cautioned not to approach this part of the coast in bad weather.

Position, 5 fathoms, lat. 26° 39′ 40′′ S., long. 153° 12′ 30′′ E.

CAUTION. The leading mark on admiralty Chart, Moreton bay to Sandy cape, No. 1068, for avoiding Gneering shoal; viz, Summit of large sand patch in line with Low bluff, N. by W. 3 W., leads close to the above 5 fathoms, and is no longer available.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 326.

　　　　　　The following Report of the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1887, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th July, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 13th April, 1888.

SIR-I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on this Department for the

ESTABLISHMENT.

year 1887.

　　　　　　There has only been one change amongst the officers and foremen. That change was the loss of the foreman in charge of the plant houses; he, unfortunately, died from the effects of a wound received while arresting a youth who was pilfering flowers. There were, however, as usual, a large number- 16-of changes amongst the lower ranks. These frequent changes are a great inconvenience and drawback, but there will be no help for it while recruits have to be obtained from the only source which is now available.

　　　　　　A carpenter was added to the staff during the year, and the result has been very beneficial to the department.

BOTANIC GARDENS.

The general condition of the Gardens is kept up to as high a standard as possible with the means at, my disposal, but, although the Colony is proud of its Gardens, there yet remains very much to be done in order to bring them up to a standard which would not be too much to expect being realised. When the estimates were submitted last year I had the honour to advert to this subject and to point out how improvements might be effected, but as the additional means could not be furnished I can only do the best with what is at my disposal and hope for better things in the future.

As it is I regret that any attempt at improving Glenealy Ravine in the New Garden will again have to be postponed.

　　　　　　I fear too that some curtailments will have to be made in the arrangements for the propagation and growth of plants for sale to the public. The glass plant-house will also, I fear, scarcely stand through another year.

Fountain Terrace.

　　　　　　The re-arrangement of this terrace has been completed, and the beds have been planted with roses, so that now the whole of the terrace is a rose-garden. In addition to the improvements of new beds and relaying of the turf, an examination of the underground drainage showed it to be wholly defective, consequently a large quantity of the drains were removed and re-laid, and the curb stones and levels of walks were also taken up and re-arranged.

Thinning and removal of Trees.

This work has been continued whenever opportunities offered for effecting improvements.

Plant Houses.

　　　　　　An addition to these has been made by the erection of a Propagation House 50 feet long by 12 feet wide. Our own carpenter has been employed on this work whenever he could be spared. A portion of this house was obtained from Messrs. FOSTER and PEARSON, of Notts, England.

Fern Houses and Plant House.

　　　　　　The bamboo screens, of which the roofs and sides of these houses are composed, were all in a con- dition not calculated to carry them through another year, therefore a large quantity of new material has been manufactured in the Gaol for re-roofing the houses.

　　　　　　The space between the above two houses has been enclosed and furnished with specimens of ferns of species of large stature.

The three houses now form a continuous range 123 feet long.

704 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888.

Glass House.

　　This is in a very rotten state and will not. I fear, be able to stand a gale this year. If it should be blown down we may have to regret the loss of the plants it contains.

Fern Shed.·

　　A structure about 50 feet long with bamboo screen roof, and wooden tables has been erected for the cultivation of ferns and shade plants for sale.

Seed Shed.

For some years a very perishable matshed has been used for the protection from rain, excessive sun-light, and ants, of delicate newly sown steds. This shed has been replace with a more permanent Attacks on the seeds by ants structure built of hard-wood. with one side of the ridge-roof glazed. have been circumvented by having the pedestals which support the tables resting in small masonry tanks for holding water.

year. Means

All of these have been re-constructed with leaf matting and bamboos during the have never been available for them to be made of anything more substantial than bamboos and matting. These structures ought to be all made of substantial brick work with tiled roofs as soon as sufficient money can be spared.

Rockeries.

The improvements at the North-East entrance gates which were recommended in 1886 have been carried out so far as the construction of the rockeries is concerned, and the planting of them is now being proceeded with.

Labelling of Plants.

A large number of new labels have been lettered and put down. besides many of the old ones having been renewed. I hope that the present year will see all the plants in the Gardens efficiently labelled. If funds were available for the purpose it would be more economical to label the plants with indestructible terra-cotta labels having the names enamelled and burnt in, in place of the perish- able wooden labels at present in use.

Lawns.

　The grass in many places. especially where it has been so much injured by the crowds of people who attended the Al Fresco Fetes which have been held in the Gardens during the last two years, has become thin. The lawns urgently need surface dressings of enriching composts, but the mainte- nance vote is insufficient to admit of this being done.

very

Flower Beds.

The soil in these needs changing, and the whole design of the arrangements of beds and walks on In these con- the lower terrace would be better altered. when great improvements could be effected templated improvements I should like to effectually work in a fit erection for the accommodation of the Regimental Band at its weekly performances, instead of the unsuitable existing arrangements.

Aviaries.

　The old structures in the northern part of the New Garden, which had become thoroughly dila- pidated, and which were not very suitable for aviaries, have been demolished, and a new aviary in four divisions has been constructed near the bear house in the southern part of the O14 Garden. The aviary faces the sun and has its back to the north, thus affording shelter to the occupants of the aviary from the cold winds of the dry season and the violent storms of the rainy one.

Al Fresco Fete.

　Whatever good may be said for the objects of the Fete, and they were most worthy, which was held in the Gardens in November, it is generally admitted that the handing over of the Gardens to Committees who have little or no interest in the Gardens themselves, or at least very little interest; compared with their great object in endeavouring to make the entertainments financial successes, have a most injurious effect on the Gardens. Although greater precautions were taken on the occasion of the last Fete to provide against injury to the Gardens, still a large amount of damage was inflicted, besides having the order and beauty of the Gardens upset for a considerable time before, and a very long time after the Fete.

Musical Performances.

By the kindness of the Colonel and Officers of the 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment visitors to the Gardens have been entertained with the performances of the Band in the Gardens once a week The Band, as alluded throughout the year, with a few exceptions owing to weather and other causes. to already, is in need of an appropriate Band Stand which should be a structure of a character in The Band Stand in the Gardens, which was generously presented by the harmony with the Gardens. Parsee community in 1866 has not been used for some years on account of its situation being unsuit- able for music to be heard from it to the terraces below where visitors congregate and promenade; it is also too small to accommodate the number of men of which the band consists.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1883. 705

Sale of Plants.

The total number of plants sold was 1,267; they realised $365.41. In 1886 the plants which were sold realised $409.35, and the number sold was 1,918.

As the plants in the Gardens are now labelled to a sufficient extent to enable visitors to ascertain the name of any tree, shrub, or plant which is cultivated in the Gardens, I would take this opportunity of advising would-be purchasers to make their choice of plants from an inspection of the larger speci- mens throughout the Gardens which show better what purposes the plants are suitable for than the small specimens kept in stock for sale in the nursery, to which the public generally confine their

attention.

Statue.

I regret to have to chronicle the loss of shrubs and trees of great beauty which had taken 20 years of fostering care to bring them to the condition they were in before their destruction in order to provide a site-which had been selected two or three years ago-for the erection of the statue which was placed in the Gardens towards the close of the year. The Gardens have not been benefited by the change which was made in them, nor yet does it appear that the statue itself has obtained a posi- tion which is the best that could have been desired for the exhibition of such a fine and costly work of art. In view of these disadvantages it is to be hoped that the removal of the statue may receive some consideration when the day arrives for it.

I might here submit that the interests of the Gardens should have a strong claim to be repre- sented by special professional judgment when the introduction of foreign objects is contemplated. The site for the statue was selected by a body of gentlemen and approved by the Government without the knowledge of, or any reference for an opinion from, the Superintendent of the Gardens.

Teff (Eragrostis Abyssinica.)

　　　　　This is a cereal indigenous to Abyssinia. It produces small seeds from which is obtained an excellent flour that is extensively used in Abyssinia as an article of food. The Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, obtained from Abyssinia a quantity of seeds of it for distribution to Colonial and other gardens for experimental cultivation. This garden received some of the seeds; they were sown on March 10th, and germinated well, and the seedlings grew rapidly and ripened their seeds in the middle of July, that is, only four months elapsed from the sowing of the seeds to the harvesting of the crop; the yield was abundant. Seeds were distributed amongst native agriculturists and information on the nature of the cereal was given to them, but the recipients of the seeds do not seem to have done any- thing with them so far as I have been able to learn.

DISTRIBUTION AND INTERCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.

　　　　　Exchanges have been conducted as far as circumstances permitted. Two hundred and seventy- six packets and parcels of seeds, weighing fifty pounds, and one thousand four hundred and twenty-. nine plants were received. One hundred and twenty-two packets and parcels of seeds, weighing seventy pounds, and one thousand six hundred and twenty-seven plants were distributed.

HERBARIUM.

The facilities and accommodation not only for extending, but even for maintaining the collections of scientific dried plants are still lamentably deficient. We have now about reached the limit of possibility of progress unless the suggestions which I have made on several occasions be responded to. There are now large collections of plants put away which have been made, dried, and poisoned, and which cannot be mounted, labelled and incorporated with the general collections in cabinets until the additional accommodation for working at and storing the specimens is available."

As much attention as possible has been given to the herbarium demands whenever a little time could be obtained between other work. A considerable number of plants have been poisoned, and mounted by the clerk and office boy, and labelled and incorporated by myself, but there are large numbers which it has been impossible to overtake.

A collection of nearly 2,000 named specimens of chiefly Asiatic plants have been procured by purchase. Since they came into our possession they have all been poisoned to preserve them from damage or destruction by insects, and many of them have been mounted. Another large collection. was obtained during a journey made by myself, with Chinese assistants, up the North and Lienchau Rivers in the Kwangtung Province. Duplicates of all these have been sent to Kew Gardens. They have not yet been examined and determined, so that I am not yet able to make a report on the species which were obtained.

Donations of dried plants have been received from the Rev. E. FABER, of Shanghai, amongst which were many species of Chinese plants which were not before in our herbarium.

BOTANICAL LECTURES.

When the Chinese Medical College was inaugurated last year I was invited to give the Botanical Lectures to the students. With the approval of the Government I consented to do this, and have continued since last October to deliver two lectures a week. The lectures have all been given after office hours. For the sake of the demonstrations it would have been more convenient to give the lectures during daylight, but this was found impracticable to work into the time table of the College. Botanical specimens to illustrate the lectures, have been supplied to the students from the Botanic Gardens.

Since the Herbarium has been provided with more suitable accommodation, the students have received their lectures twice a week in the Herbarium room instead of at the Medical College.

By this arrangement the resources of the Herbarium have been readily available and of great assistance to the students. The students take great interest in the botanical lectures, and many of them give promise of capacities for making considerable acquirements in botanical science.

LIBRARY.

　A copy of the Chi Wu Ming, a valuable work on Chinese Botany which is difficult to procure, was obtained from Peking, through the kind aid of the Registrar General's Department of this Colony, and of Dr. DUDGEON at Peking.

　I have to thank the Indian Forest Department for sending regularly copies of its various Reports which have been received throughout the year, and also the Directors of the many Botanic Gardens in various colonies for Annual Reports.

　To Mr. THISELTON DYER, Director of Kew Gardens, we are specially indebted for numerous copies of the "Index Flore Sinensis" of the various parts as they were published, and also for copies of "Icones Plantarum and the "Kew Bulletin," the latter complete for the year 1887, the first year of its publication.

* Since the above was written I am very pleased to say that by some alterations in the departmental buildings very greatly improved accommodation has been provided by the Government, and work long delayed is now progressing satisfactorily,

GOVERNMENT-HOUSE GARDENS.

1885-86.

　　　　　The ordinary yearly routine work has been performed at the gardens appertaining to Government House, but besides the thinning of over-grown trees, of which a good deal has been done, no special works have been undertaken.

INVESTIGATION AND PLANT COLLECTING.

　　　　　A journey was undertaken by myself in August along the North and Lienchau Rivers in the Kwangtung Province. Besides an extensive collection of dried plants for the herbarium about 800 living plants were brought back. These are chiefly plants of an ornamental character which are most desirable additions to cultivation. When these living plants have become established and grown they will, in many cases, be new objects of great beauty and interest in the gardens of this Colony. When the collections have been thoroughly examined, a work which will yet take some time, the scientific results of the tour will, I feel sure, be of considerable value and interest.

Besides the introduction of new living plants, and the acquisition of a large quantity of material for the herbarium and for the enrichment of science, I may mention another result which is important and of direct and immediate practical utility to the Forest Department. For several years I have endeavoured, in vain, to procure through Chinese and other sources sceds in quantity of the tree (Cunninghamia sinensis) which yields the timber, so called China fir, that is universally used here and in South China for all kinds of building, and many other purposes. While I was absent I found the tree growing abundantly about 100 miles North of Canton, and under circumstances which ren- dered it possible to procure seeds in quantities as were desirable. I made arrangements for seeds to be collected there when they were ripe and delivered in Hongkong. We have now a large quantity on hand, and experiments on a large scale will be made with the cultivation here of the tree during this year. The timber from this tree, if it be found to succeed here, will be of much more value than that of Pinus sinensis, the tree which hitherto we have planted very extensively.

After the reduction of planting works which took place in 1886, the number of trees dealt with in artificial reproduction during 1887 was again brought up to something nearer former work, but until the Forestry vote is again placed at the figure which was provided before its reduction last we cannot accomplish annual afforestation works to the same extent as formerly.

year,

Roughly estimating the area of ground operated on by the number of trees planted at fairly regular distances apart we have about 312 acres as the area for 1887. 157,144 trees were reared in nurseries and planted on the hills. Planting as usual was commenced in December, and finished in April, which was somewhat earlier than in former years. Planting in the dry season can only be done in places where water is available for artificial irrigation. In other places we are entirely depen- dent on favourable weather. In all places the planting was very successful.

Nurseries.

Nine nurseries have been maintained. These were situated at Kowloon (two) Saiwan, North Point, Sokongo, Deep Water Bay, Little Hongkong, Aberdeen and Pokfulam. From them the trees were carried to the various planting grounds ranging from Saiwan in the East, North Point in the North, Pokfulam in the West, and Deep Water Bay in the South of Hongkong, and north eastwards of Yaumati at Kowloon.

The trees reared in nurseries under contract have this year, as a rule, been very successfully managed by the contractor, they show a great improvement on the previous year's work in this

respect.

Rearing Trees in Situ.

　　Trees reared in situ have been successful. The number thus treated was 217,738. They are situated on Mount Parker, and near Deep Water Bay.

The total number of trees planted and reared in situ was 374,882.

The following is a list of the trees planted and reared in situ :-

Broad-cast Sowing.

In addition to planting and rearing in situ some pieces of land were operated on by sowing seeds broad-cast without any preparation of the ground. In certain places the method promises to give good results at a very small cost, as already stated in my report for last year.

There is, however, a serious difficulty to contend with where this work has been done, it is, the operation of grass-cutters, who cut grass, and the young seedling trees in it not caring, or at the least not knowing about the existence of the young trees. Until we have more control over grass-cutters this method of rearing trees cannot be extensively carried out. Some experiments made four years ago of sowing seeds broad-cast have given very good results, there being now abundance of healthy trees about two feet high.

Cunninghamia sinensis.

As mentioned elsewhere a considerable quantity of seeds of this valuable Chinese tree have at last been obtained from a distant part of the Kwangtung province. The seeds are the first instalment for what I hope will be the establishment of successful plantations to supercede the common Pinus.

sinensis.

Camphor Trees.

　In 1886 about 4,500 camphor trees were planted as an experiment. The success of the camphor in the Botanic and private gardens of the Colony gave promise of its succeeding on the hills when placed within plantations of the China pine which were sufficiently large to afford shelter from winds. In such plantations where the soil is somewhat better than the average soil the trees have succeeded beyond my expectations, but where the shelter and soil is inferior the trees have made but little pro- gress. The general results, however, were such as to lead me to continue the experiment, therefore about 12,000 trees were reared in the nurseries for planting during the present season.

Pinus Massoniana.

　A few pounds of seeds of this tree were procured from Japan, and sown in situ by the side of our native pine, but the seeds, unfortunately, germinated very badly, probably owing to their not having been sufficiently ripened or harvested in Japan. The germination of our own seeds on the ground was perfect. A fresh lot of seeds have been obtained for further experiment this year.

Tristanea conferta.

　In my report for last year I drew attention to this rapid growing tree of which 800 were planted four years ago.

These trees are now about 20 feet high (some have reached 30 feet). They flowered and produced seeds in abundance during the year under report. Seeds were collected and sown, and an abundance of young trees have been obtained for planting this season. I have great hopes of this tree. From its rapid growth and large amount of leafage it should be a much better tree than- most species of Eucalypti for this Colony.

Thinning Plantations.

　　　　　This work has been continued throughout the year in plantations which were sufficiently advanced. The thinnings have been disposed of by sale without difficulty. However extensively surplus wood may be produced there is no prospect of there ever being any difficulty in its disposal in this Colony.

Fire Barriers.

Grass fires during the dry season have always been numerous and extensive and besides burning the grass, which was of minor importance, the fires have in their progress naturally destroyed or damaged the small trees and shrubs which were on the ground, thus effectually preventing natural reproduction. The increase of fires and the rapid extension of plantations which required greater protection led me to devise a system of barriers to check the progress of fires. With the consent of the Government about 40 miles of these barriers were made before the dry season set in. The result has been even better than I anticipated. Besides a fire which occured from a bonfire at the Jubilee celebrations, there were only two fires which spread beyond a very small extent, and these two did not extend over more than five acres of planted land. In the vicinity of roads, paths, and cemeteries a great number of burnt patches of grass have been seen where the fires had been arrested by the fire barriers. There is no doubt but that for the existence of the fire barriers the fires which were arrested would have spread to a very great extent and have destroyed immense quantities of trees. If these barriers are maintained, and other suitable precautions carefully observed, there is now hope of grass fires being reduced very much in area.

Protective Service.

An additional Forest Guard was placed on the staff in January. Forest offences do not seem to have increased during the year. The number of cases brought before the Magistrates by the Forest Guards was 27, that is 11 less than during the previous year. There is a great deal of trouble in keeping the guards up to their duty, in fact there is rarely any case instituted which is not done by pressure brought to bear on the guards by the Superintendent. This is not satisfactory, as the Forest Guards should be of a sufficiently high character to move themselves in matters instead of continually shirking their plain duty. This duty of continual surveillance of the guards is becoming more difficult and troublesome to perform as other duties increase and demand attention and time in so many other ways. There will, perceptibly, have to be some improvement in the protective service before long. I fear that we shall never get really effective Chinese guards, but the employment of efficient men would involve a greatly increased cost, however, the time may arrive when it will in the long run be real economy to incur this cost.

Ferneries.

　　　　　　The rockery in Glenealy Road near St. Paul's College, which I referred to in last year's report, has been constructed and is now partially planted. The older rockeries have been maintained in as good condition as circumstances would permit.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

HONGKONG, 31st May, 1888.

　　SIR,I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the year 1887 together with the Tables showing the work done in the Medical Department under my supervision, and the Reports of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, and the Government Analyst.

POLICE.

The admissions to Hospital from the Police Force show a slight increase as compared with 1886, a year during which the number of admissions was larger than the previous decade. In 1886 the increase was principally among the Chinese portion of the Force, while in 1887 the Indians were the greatest sufferers as the following table shows:-

Table I shows the admissions to Hospital of the different sections of the Force during each month of the year. The summer months as usual exhibit the largest number of admissions, September the largest of all.

Table II gives the average strength of the different sections of the Force, rates of sickness and mortality relative to strength.

Table III shows the admissions to Hospital from the different Stations and Districts during each month of the year.

The Central Station sends in a larger number than in 1886, the increase being greatest amongst the European and Indian portions of the Force. In this Station the increase of sickness has been uniform from year to year. The dormitories are much overcrowded.

　Whitfield Station and the Water Police Station have decidedly improved this year sending in only 108 sick compared with 158 in 1886. Shaukiwan shows a slight increase. Pokfulam, Aberdeen and Stanley a slight decrease. No 7 Station is worse than ever, sending in 51 cases compared with 41 in . 1886.

　Four of the European Police and two of the Chinese were admitted to the Small-pox Hospital; one of the Europeans died.

　There were 9 deaths in the Force this year, 4 Europeans, 1 Indian, and 4 Chinese; 5 died in the Government Civil Hospital, and 1 in the Small-pox Hospital. Inspector Lindsay died of aneurism at No. 7 Station, a Chinese Interpreter died at his own house and one European Constable was killed at a fire.

There was a still further increase in the amount of sickness among the Troops last year as compared with 1886, but the death rate was as usual small compared with the amount of sickness. 1,749 men were admitted to the Military Hospital as compared with 1,607 in 1886, an increase of 142.

There were 14 deaths, of these two were cases of suicide, and two were from an explosion of fire- works.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

　　There has been much trouble connected with the Staff of this Establishment during the past year. The Superintendent resigned in the beginning of the

year.

Surgeon YARR, A.M.D. acted as Superintendent for six months during the summer, but as he had his own Military duties to attend to, he could not reside at the Hospital. He was however most energetic and efficient in the performance of his duties notwithstanding that he was hampered by his Military work which lay at one end of the City while his Civil work was at the other. however to resign the Acting Appointment, his whole services being required by his own Department He had eventually and Surgeon THOMPSON, A.M.D. took charge for a few weeks till the arrival of the new Superintendent. Surgeon THOMPSON in addition to the trouble of double duty as had been the case with Surgeon YARR underwent the unpleasant experience of having to put the Senior and Assistant Wardmasters under arrest. Fortunately he discovered we could obtain the assistance of two non-commissioned Officers of the Medical Staff Corps to act in their place, and these two officers were accordingly engaged. I am greatly indebted to the Army Medical Department for the valuable and prompt assistance they have rendered the Hospital in its difficulties and I have much satisfaction in recording my appreciation of these services.

　　　　　　Dr. ATKINSON, the new Superintendent, arrived out in the Colony and took charge in November finding the unpleasant state of affairs to which I have alluded, to greet him on his arrival.

The Senior Wardmaster has since been sentenced to seven years hard labour in Gaol for embezzling

the property of patients in the Hospital two of whom were in a dying condition.

The Wardmasters have been a continual source of trouble during the fourteen years I have been in charge of this Department. I have seen over twenty appointed besides a number acting for a time. At present we have two Acting Wardmasters neither of whom is satisfied with his post. The Acting Senior Wardmaster, a Police Constable, prefers to return to the Police Force as he finds the hours at the Hospital twice as long, and the ward duties themselves far more arduous and harassing and entailing a greater amount of anxiety and responsibility than his former Police duties while the and advantages are inferior. Moreover at the Hospital he has no prospect of promotion in the service. The Acting Assistant Wardmaster a young Portuguese formerly employed in the Sanitary Department thinks the work, too much for his strength and prefers less pay with lighter work and less responsibility elsewhere.

pay

712 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888.

In my first Annual Report for 1873, I had to comment on the trouble which appeared to beset the filling of these posts and for fourteen years my reports in the same connection have been incessant but though the Wardmasters' pay has been slightly increased it is not sufficient to secure trained men or in view of the duties performed, or compared with the pay of officers of the same rank in other Departments. The Wardmasters have twelve hours of continuous duty to do. They have to attend the Superintendent in his rounds, to see the Chinese nurses do their duty, to administer medicines, to change dressings, to see diets given out and temperatures taken, to receive and admit patients, to attend to their wants pending the Superintendent's arrival, and many other things which keep them incessantly engaged during the whole twelve hours.

It would be difficult to appreciate adequately the discomfort of the Superintendent, with untrained men attending to the ward duties and the uncertainty he must be in as to whether his directions will be attended to properly and correctly if at all, or yet the bewilderment of a new and untrained Ward- master with the multifarious directions written and unwritten for about from 60 to 100 different patients, or the unpleasantness to the patient himself at having to put up with the nervous, awkward handling, of the untrained nurse, however willing and kindly the intention.

I think I have said enough to show that it is very detrimental to the proper administration of the Hospital that continual changes should recur in these posts by reason of the employment of inferior men at low salaries. Such changes add very greatly to the troubles of the Superintendent, and detract very much from the comfort of the patients. It is true that for the most part the latter are only seaman, Government servants, Police Cases, or destitutes, but there should be no distinction of class in the treatment of the sick in Hospitals. All are entitled to the same efficiency of nursing as if they belonged to the influential section of the Community.

Dr. ATKINSON has had the trouble of training the two present Wardmasters for three months at a time of great emergency while an epidemic of small-pox was raging in the Colony. The duties of training and instruction doubled his work, and naturally caused him not only a great amountof care and anxiety but necessitated much extra and harassing watchfulness. This burthen Dr. ATKINSON has borne with great cheerfulness, not sparing himself in any way if he could lighten the labour and increase the comfort of those under his charge, and I cannot speak too highly of the skill, care, and attention he has shown in the performance of his duties, but I submit that he should be relieved from a recurrence of such anxieties in the future by the proper organization of his staff.

Fortunately in Mr. WATSON, the Assistant Apothecary, lately arrived and whose appointment is a new one, in Mr. ROGERS the Steward, Mr. U. I. KAI the Student Apothecary, Mr. CARNEIRO the Wardmaster of the small-pox Hospital, Mr. Lo CHEUNG IP the Clerk, and A Lok the Chinese Ward- master, he has found energetic and willing assistants these officers being thoroughly conversant with their duties.

The office of Clerk at the Hospital is another post which gives considerable trouble and which is subject to frequent changes owing to insufficiency of pay. Mr. Lo CHEUNG IP the present holder of His office hours are from nine A.M. till five this post is one of the most efficient Clerks we have ever had. P.M. and more often seven P.M, and even then were it not for the assistance rendered him by Mr. ROGERS the Steward he would very often not be able to get through his days work at all. Clerks in other Government Departments and Offices. some of whom have been in the post he now occupies, work as a rule from 10A.M. till 4 P.M., and while having lighter duties are better paid, consequently Mr. Lo CHEUNG IP is naturally in search of other employment and I shall be forced to recommend a good officer for promotion though it will be much against the interests of the Hospital that it should lose his services. The Hospital has in consequence of this combination of overwork and insufficient pay hitherto found it impossible to retain a Clerk long after he had learnt his duties, and if he has not found promotion in the public service he generally has sought private employment.

　It must always be a matter of regret that discontent should prevail among the subordinate staff of a Hospital for the constant changing of officers in an Institution filled with people distressed in mind or body is not at all conducive to the comfort or alleviation of the latter.

　A scheme for the employment of European Female professional nurses in the Hospital has been drawn up by Dr. ATKINSON at the request of the Government and is now under consideration. If on enquiry in England it is found feasible the scheme will undoubtedly be a very great benefit to the Hospital. It is not however entirely without some drawbacks for the nurses will have to reside on the premises and this will require a considerable increase of accommodation in the shape of an additional block of buildings which means considerable expense. As usual it is a question of initial outlay.

　Last September Mr. W. E. Crow the Government Analyst was transferred for temporary duty to the Sanitary Department. This transfer has. I am glad to say not deprived the Hospital of Mr. CROW'S valuable services. He continues to attend as heretofore to his analytical duties and researches and the supervision of the Dispensing Department of the Hospital.

The admissions to the Hospital this year show a slight increase of 33.

　There were 432 cases of Fever of various types, of these 11 died; 40 cases of Dysentery were admitted of whom 6 died; 53 cases of Diarrhoea of whom 3 died.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.

Small-pox became epidemic in the Colony towards the latter end of November, and between the 22nd of that month and the end of the year 40 cases had already been admitted to Hospital. The accommodation not being sufficient for the demand, three large matsheds were improvised and enclosed in the Hospital grounds and a Police Guard had to be put over them. Dr. ATKINSON had charge of these inflammable temporary buildings and they caused him no small anxiety in consequence of the dangers of fire to which they were several times exposed from the flying_sparks of houses burning below the Hospital. In three months, i.e: December 1887, January and February 1888, there were over 100 small-pox cases admitted to Hospital. For the use of European females I utilized the female ward of the Lunatic Asylum which happened to be vacant at the time. I had personal charge of these cases, of which three were only varioloid, and none very severe.

Table VIIa shows the number of small-pox cases, the nationality of the patients admitted in 1887, and the dates of their admission. There were 65 cases in all, of these 11 died.

　　　　　The Medical Members and Secretary of the Sanitary Board together with the Registrar General met and made arrangements for daily vaccinations in different parts of the Colony and at all the Hospitals. All the prisoners in the Gaol were vaccinated and every one admitted to Gaol now is vaccinated.

Government orders have been given that all new members joining the Police Force shall be vacci- nated. There was an extraordinary demand for vaccine lymph, and as it soon got very scarce it had to be husbanded with great care. The best vaccine that was procured was calf lymph from Japan which was excellently put up for travelling and arrived in very good condition, it was used with excellent results. There are very few Europeans now in the Colony that have not been vaccinated or revaccinated and if there are it is not from any want of facilities.

　　　　　　Another result of the recent experience was a recommendation from the Sanitary Board that the small-pox Hospitals both for Europeans and Chinese be removed to the outskirts of the City of Victoria. Small-pox is endemic among the Chinese in the winter months and notwithstanding all safeguards and precautions must inevitably be imported into the Colony by them. The recommendation therefore is one deserving of earnest attention. The Sanitary Board also drew up a set of rules and precautions to be followed on the appearance of small-pox in private tenements, this list was printed in English and Chinese and freely circulated and the Sanitary Inspectors visited all houses where cases occurred and saw the instructions of the Board carried out.

The Chinese Washermen were also instructed in the disinfecting of wash-clothes in boiling water and Jeyes' Disenfecting Fluid and the latter was supplied to them the Sanitary Inspectors seeing that the instructions for its use were carried out.

}

714 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888.

The vaccination of infants within six months after their birth is now compulsory by law but there will, I apprehend, be some difficulty in carrying out the provisions of the new Ordinance among a travelling population like the Chinese who are here many of them for a short time only. This difficulty will be due to the number of infants of whom nothing is known constantly arriving from without, and to the many taken away soon after birth.

Table XI shews the rate of sickness and mortality of prisoners under treatment in Gaol. The record of prisoners in the prison Hospital last year shows an increase of 27 as compared with 1886, while the number of deaths shows a decrease of 3. In 1886 there were in that Hospital 239 cases and 9 deaths, in 1887. 266 cases and 6 deaths. In 1886 there were two suicides and two sudden deaths in the cells, in 1887 two suicides and one sudden death.

Table XI. shows the number of opium the Gaol, their age, consumption of opium, or on discharge.

　Table XIc. shews the number of opium smokers admitted to the Gaol Hospital and the diseases they were suffering from; there were no deaths among these opium smokers.

　As usual there were no evidences of suffering from the deprivation of the opium-pipe, though opium in any form was carefully excluded from their treatment. The exclusion of opium is rigidly adhered to unless the treatment of the disease imperatively demands it; this however did not happen to be the case with any of the opium smoking prisoners under treatment last year.

　I give the ages, consumption and weights of the largest consumers received into Gaol. They were six in number, all had habitually consumed 4 mace, i.e... half-an-ounce of opium daily, the time they have been addicted to the habit of opium smoking is also set forth :---

Those marked with an asterisk were under treatment for general debility, the others were under no treatment for other ailments. It will be gathered from these figures that the habit of opium smoking does not interfere with the digestive powers. These men all consumed an amount of opium equivalent in value to 30 cents a day or $9 per month. Therefore they must have been of a comparatively well to do class and when at liberty could afford better food than the diet of the Gaol Hospital, for in order to live well, (for instance as well as the best class of Chinese servants.) it need not have cost them more than $3 per month for food.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888. 715

Of the three not under treatment two decreased in weight, and the one who is 78 years old remained the same.

　　　　　　　　A man of 78 that can digest the ordinary Gaol diet and keep his weight must have his digestive powers in excellent order.

There were 78 opium smokers of over one mace a day received into Gaol of whom 17 were taken into Hospital, none of them having very serious complaints as Table XIc. shows.

Moreover it must be remembered that opium smoking prisoners not under treatment have the ordinary rice and water diet one day every week which would tend to decrease their weight, notwith- standing this however, most of those weighing under a hundred pounds remain of the average weight. The Chinese of the chain-gang are picked from the strongest of the prisoners and their average weight is 110 lbs. It is only reasonable to expect that those who are above the average weight on admission should not add to that weight on a Gaol diet which though sufficient and wholesome cannot be said to be fattening. These tables which have been given for the last six or seven years with my Annual Reports prove conclusively that the opium smoker can discontinue the habit at once without any treatment whatever and without any detriment to himself, and that it is idle to talk of the suffering which the deprivation of the opium entails. I do not think the suffering attendant on that deprivation is more than that of a tobacco smoker if so great.

Opium smoking held forth as the Chinaman's greatest vice is certainly not to be compared in its evil effects with the European vice of spirit drinking, a habit to which the Chinese as a nation are not given. Instead of making such an outcry and wasting large sums of money in trying to reclaim the Chinaman one cannot but reflect with how much greater advantage we might look nearer home and attend to our own need of reform, in respect of intemperance.

From the 1st September Dr. MARQUES took over the medical charge of the Gaol from me, and I again took medical charge of the Lock Hospital.

LUNATIC ASYLUM.

　　　　　Table XId. gives the number, nationality, disease and description of patients admitted to the Lunatic Asylum during the past year.

Nine were admitted during the year, of these three remain.

Fortunately there were no females in the Asylum at the end of the year and it was therefore possible to utilize the empty ward as a small-pox Hospital for European females.

TUNG-WA HOSPITAL.

　　　　　The total number of patients treated in this Hospital was 2,231 of these 1,213 died, 376 having been admitted already in a moribund condition. The great majority admitted into this Institution are incurables in a destitute condition.

The number of out-patients treated was 130,910.

There remained in the Hospital at the end of the year, 158 cases.

There were no small-pox cases in the small-pox wards of this Hospital at the beginning of the year, but 310 were admitted during the last two months, of these 221 died. The majority of the admissions were children a large proportion of whom were under four years of age and nearly all unvaccinated. 3,138 vaccinations were successfully performed by the vaccinators attached to the Hospital, which is entirely under the management of the Chinese.

TEMPORARY LOCK HOSPITAL.

　　　　　　This year the new Lock Hospital will be given up to the special use for which it was designed. For the last two years it has been occupied as a portion of the Government Civil Hospital, but the new wing being nearly finished this accommodation will no longer be required.

　　　　　　On the 1st of September, 1887, by an order from Her Majesty' Government the compulsory medical examination of women was abolished. This decision having been announced to them the Europeans, Japanese, and Chinese went to the Registrar General and petitioned for a continuance of the exami- nations, the Chinese requesting that I should again take charge of this duty.

　　　　　　Every woman was interviewed separately by the Registrar General at his office with a view to ascertaining if this request was entirely voluntary and whether any pressure had been put upon the petitioners by the keepers of houses of ill-fame. But such was not found to be the case.

　　　　　　On their attending the Hospital when I took charge on the 1st of September, I made it perfectly clear to them that they were not compelled to continue their visits unless they wished to do so, and every woman admitted to Hospital has since been told that she is under no compulsion to remain, that she is free to go or to stay as she pleases and only in one or two trivial cases have I even had

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　any occasion to advise them to remain. The attendance weekly has been very regular and orderly and I have had no trouble with them whatever. I have no hesitation in saying that had these examinations been discon- tinued it would have been nothing short of a disaster to the health of the Colony. It was scarcely to be expected that women of three different nationalities should have shown such unanimous good

716 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888.

sense and appreciation of the benefit to themselves of these examinations. Their decision speaks well for the way the examinations have been conducted and the fact that the women treated shou d voluntarily have expressed a desire for a continuation of the practice and that no repugnance has been shown by them, proves that kind and civil treatment has not been misspent in their case. These voluntary examinations have been now going on for over eight months and up to the date of my forwarding this Report I have had no complaint from any of the women of the treatment received by them from the nurses or attendants at the Hospital.

Table XVa. shows the number of admissions to the Lock Hospital and average number of days' stay in Hospital for the last thirty years. The admissions have varied between 411 and 44 in the last fourteen years as compared with 722 and 124 in the previous years. The average number of days treated has varied between 21 and 12 in the last fourteen years as compared with 43 and 18 in the previous years. This gives a good idea of the decrease in the extent and severity of the disease of late years.

The daily average number in Hospital for 1887 was 5, and the longest number of days detention. for any one case was 90 days. The average detention for the year was 13.9 days.

The total number of examinations made was 12.223. Of these 144 cases were found diseased, or about 1 per cent.

Only six of these suffered from constitutional disease. The number of women detained in Hospital last year was 144 as compared with 401 in 1886.

Table E shews the number of admissions to the Military, Naval, Police, and Civil Hospitals from the various types of venereal disease. The admissions to the Military and Naval Hospitals are about the same as in 1886. There is a very large increase among the Police for which I am unable to account, as neither the Military, Naval or Civil Hospitals show a similar increase of disease contracted in the Colony.

Table E 2 shows the number of cases of venereal disease affecting the constitution among the admissions to the Naval Hospital; 8 cases were contracted in the Colony as compared with 20 in 1886. Table E 3 shews the same for the Military Hospital 39 cases were contracted in the Colony as compared with 41 in 1885. There were 10 cases admitted to Hospital from among the Police and 11 to the Civil Hospital.

　However, taking every thing into consideration the type of disease from this source is for the most part of the mildest, and both the Military and Naval Authorities bear witness that no other British station shows such freedom from venereal disease of a bad type as Hongkong.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

　Table XVI shows the rate of mortality amongst European and American residents in Hongkong for the last ten years from all classes of disease. The number and percentage are the highest ever recorded although during the year previous we had a slight cholera epidemic. In 1887 small-pox became epidemic but the mortality from this disease in no way accounts for the increased death rate. In 1887 the deaths were 138 as compared with 103 in 1886 and 99 in 1885. The percentage of deaths to the population is 4.54 nearly doubling the average of the previous ten years

　I give below the Bills of Mortality, for the fourteen years that I have been in the Colony. among the Europeans and Chinese, as registered in Hongkong, from diseases that may be among other causes attributable to insanitary homes, filth poison, and overcrowding. As against the increased percentage of deaths from all causes it is satisfactory to note that the percentage from preventible diseases is still diminishing though the population is increasing so rapidly from year to year.

　　　　　In respect therefore of those diseases which may owe their origin to insanitary conditions we see that the European Table of deaths keeps about the same average, while the Chinese Table shows a very marked reduction, in fact the latter has never been so low for the previous ten years. The improved methods of surface scavenging and the thorough cleansing of tenements at certain periods, insisted on by the Sanitary Board for the last three years, appear to be doing a great amount of practical good. In 1886 there was a decrease in this Table of nearly 400 deaths as compared with 1885, this year there is another decrease of nearly 400 deaths as compared with 1886. With these facts before us the Sanitary Board must have every reason to be satisfied with the result of their work in the practical sanitation of the town although their best efforts will be I fear but of little comparative avail until their hands are strengthe- ned by the new Public Health Ordinance which it is very deeply to be regretted should not have been confirmed and brought into operation last year.

　　　　　During 1887-8 fever has prevailed extensively in the extreme Western District, along the upper levels of Victoria and a Medical Commission has been appointed by His Excellency the Governor to enquire into the nature and cause of the disease and to suggest preventive measures. This Commission has not yet submitted its Report.

In November, a very serious outbreak of small-pox occurred, there were 15 deaths among Europeans and 233 deaths among Chinese from this cause up to the end of the year. There was for a time a very large demand for vaccine and the latter was telegraphed for to Japan, Australia and England. The calf-lymph procured from Japan was found admirably put up for travelling, it arrived in excellent condition and was effective and satisfactory.

　　　　　The small-pox epidemic was severe while it lasted, and necessitated the building, of a tempo- rary mat Hospital with 100 beds in the Government Civil Hospital grounds. So large was the number of admissions that it reached 50 cases in Hospital at one time. Thanks to the precautions and the energetic measures taken by the Sanitary Board this epidemic was not of long duration. An Ordinance for the compulsory vaccination of infants has since been passed and it will be interesting to see whether it can be successfully enforced among the Chinese population.

As the Government Medical Staff of the Colony at present stands, each member of it has his full complement of work, and there is no relief possible in case of emergency, except from outside sources which cannot always be depended upon. If any member of the Medical Staff falls sick there is no one to take his place. None of us can take vacation leave without great personal loss as according to the Rules of the Service every officer absent on furlough has to find a substitute. The finding of a substitute is feasible in almost every other Department without detriment to the individual who takes his leave for there is always some brother officer in the service who can take his place, or his limited hours of duty render it possible for him to find outside assistance. With the Medical Department however such is not the case. The duties require the incumbent of the office to be on duty at all times night and day, and there is no one in the Service that can relieve him. The Army Medical Department have hitherto come to our relief but this cooperation cannot always be depended on as from press of work, sickness, or other cause, the Army Medical Staff may be short of hands themselves. If therefore the recent recommendation of the Sanitary Board in favour of an Epidemic Hospital outside of the town be carried out, it would be absolutely necessary to obtain the permanent services of an additional Surgeon.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Hon. F. STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

HONGKONG, 6th March, 1888.

SIR,-I beg to forward report of the work done at the Civil Hospital during the year 1887 with the usual statistics.

I arrived at the Colony in November 17th, and took over charge from Dr. THOMPSON on the following day.

I was very much surprised and perplexed at the state of affairs then existing at the Hospital. The two European Wardmasters were on their trial for robbing patients under their care.

　　　　　　To undertake the nursing of the patients in addition to the Chinese attendants who have practi- cally no knowledge of nursing, I had the services of two of the Army Medical Staff Corps to the end of December, who were of great assistance, and of CHAN A LOK the Chinese Wardmaster. The latter during

his long period of service at the Hospital has acquired some practical knowledge in regard to nursing and is very useful as an Interpreter. Unfortunately he is leaving soon, wishing to retire, as he does not feel strong enough to continue his work.

As the services of the Army Medical Staff Corps men were not available two Wardmasters Mr. CUBIT a Policeman and Mr. CARNEIRO son of the Wardmaster of the Small-pox Hospital were appointed on probation for three months.

Meanwhile as the Nursing Staff of the Hospital generally seemed so inefficient, I had drawn up a scheme for the re-arrangement of the Nursing Staff, which was submitted to His Excellency The Governor. In this scheme I recommended that in addition to the two European Wardmasters who should be preferably retired Army Medical Staff Corps men, the obtaining of five European trained female Nurses, one to act as Head Nurse; this scheme is still under consideration.

Since my arrival there has been an epidemic of Small-pox. I have had under my care 111 cases of that disease, many of a very severe type. The present building which is used as a Small-pox Hospital only contains 10 beds. This had to be augmented, first by the erection of one and afterwards as this soon was filled, by the erection of two bamboo sheds. This has entailed a great deal of extra work upon the Hospital Staff. Fortunately the epidemic seems to be subsiding thanks in a great measure to the energetic measures taken by the Sanitary Department. I would strongly urge the necessity of the erection of an Infectious Hospital either on one of the Islands of the Harbour, or as far away as possible from any habitation, as the present building is quite inadequate for the treatment of such cases; also that such Hospital have a separate Medical Officer and Staff of its own. The sooner this is done the better, as the Colony is always liable to an outbreak such as this.

On refering to the Statistics it will be found that the Hospital Register contains 1,656 cases, 43 more than in 1886, of this number 619 were Police, seventeen more than in the previous year.

　　　　　　Table III shows the number from each station, Table V shows the varieties of disease a mongst the patients generally, with the mortality from each.

There were forty cases of Dysentery of which six proved fatal.

Nine cases of Typhoid were treated of which one died.

730 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888.

Remittent Fever seems to have been very fatal as out of 134 cases there were nine deaths. Altogether out of 420 cases which Dr. WHARRY classes as Hongkong Fever, there were ten deaths, as against one death out of 406 cases in 1886; out of these ten, one was a European, two were Coloured, and seven Chinese.

Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatism sent 38 cases, of which one died.

There were seven cases of opium poisoning, of which two died.

The total number of deaths were eighty-nine, the death rate compared to the total number of admissions being 5.37, the highest yet recorded.

The total amount of fees received from patients during the year was $10,275.68 of this the Board of Trade paid $2,181.75 and the Police $970,75 this is exclusive of $1,788.18 fees from patients in Lunatic Asylum which amount in previous years has been included in the Civil Hospital accounts.

Mr. WATSON the Assistant Apothecary arrived in the Colony on September 25th and forthwith commenced his duties.

　Mr. CROW the Senior Apothecary and Analyst is temporarily performing the duties of Sanitary Superintendent.

I have to thank these officers and particularly Mr. ROGERS, the Steward, for the assistance they have rendered me in becoming acquainted with the working of the Establishment.

In conjunction with the Colonial Surgeon I have made certain alterations in the existing rules in order to keep the Chinese attendants more under control.

In conclusion I wish to point out the necessity there is for an assistant Resident Medical Officer. In a Hospital like this in which so many of the cases are acute and so many accidents are admitted, and in which, as I gather from the previous reports, the greatest stress of work falls in the Summer months, the work is too great for one Medical Officer; one cannot always be on duty; under the existing arrangements it is impossible to leave the Hospital for even a couple of hours without a feeling of anxiety that something may happen during one's absence; if there was another Resident Medical Officer, there would always be one on duty.

　My report is necessarily incomplete from the late period of the year in which I took over the charge of the Hospital.

Enclosure 3.

Report of the Government Analyst.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,.

HONGKONG, 21ST APRIL, 1888.

　　　　　SIR,I have the honour to forward a statement of the work done in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1887.

WATER.

　　　　　During the months of February, March, and April analysis of 328 waters derived from wells or springs within the City of Victoria were made at the request of the Sanitary Board. My instructions were to simply "separate the wells into two classes viz. ; those which were evidently much polluted and those which were not." Many of these waters had been examined in former years and in previous special and annual reports I have expressed my views on the danger incurred by the public in having recourse to the shallow wells in this City for a supply of water for dietetic purposes.

　　　　　In judging of the extent of the pollution of these well waters some considerable care was taken to ascertain the existence or absence of nitrites the detection of which in shallow well waters being, in the opinion of most chemists, held as conclusive evidence of the presence, in the water under examina- tion, of fresh decomposing sewage.

Of the 328 waters examined 223 or 68 per cent. showed unmistakable evidence of the presence of nitrites; and 199 or 60 per cent. contained considerable quantities of free ammonia. The specimens of good well water I have analyzed in this Colony have been found to contain practically no free ammonia and certainly not even the faintest trace of nitrites.

　　　　　In all cases an accurate determination was made of the amount of Chlorine present in the water and after a careful consideration of the chemical data and an inspection in many instances of the localities whence the samples were drawn, I placed 233 of the samples or 71 per cent. in the category of waters that were evidently much polluted.

I may add that the greater part of the remaining 95 samples contained Chlorine considerably in excess of the quantity found in water derived from wells that are without doubt uncontaminated; and in the last report on water analysis I submitted to the Board, a recommendation was made that when an abundant water supply was available the Government would do well to order the closing of all wells in the City of Victoria.

MILK.

　　　　During the year nine samples of milk which had been obtained by the Nuisance Inspectors were analyzed at the request of the Sanitary Board. Of these three were returned as being adulterated. One of the specimens was estimated to contain at least 50 per cent. of added water.

　　　　　Sometime ago the necessity of checking the quality of the milk supplied to the Civil Hospital was very clearly demonstrated to the Civil Medical Staff, and it was decided that once a month samples from the morning and evening milk delivered by the contractor were to be analyzed.

To enable me to form a proper estimate of the quality of the milk an analysis is made, regularly once a month, of a sample selected at the Contractor's Farm from the mixed product of the whole Dairy.

Too much weight cannot be attached to the necessity of providing the sick with milk of the best quality seeing that in many cases it forms their sole article of diet. Mr. ROGERS the Hospital Steward has been, for some months, in the habit of noting the Specific Gravity and Temperature of every delivery so that all possible precautions are now taken to prevent an inferior article being sent up to the wards for the patients' consumption.

　　　　　In all 36 samples of milk were analyzed during the year. The process adopted in every case is the one devised some years ago by Dr. JAMES BELL the Principal of the Somerset House Laboratory.

TOXICOLOGICAL.

Investigations were conducted in three cases where there was evidence pointing to the use of poisonous agents.

　　　　　　1. Calomel Poisoning.-On the 3rd of August Dr. J. A. LOCKHEAD brought me a small quantity of a decoction of coffee which he had received from one of his patients-an officer of the American

736 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888.

ship Alice D. Cooper then lying in the harbour of Hongkong. The officer, at the request of Dr. LOCKHEAD, presented himself at the Government Laboratory and furnished me with the following

information :-

"About 5 o'clock one morning while I was on watch-the ship being then in the China Sea within a few days sail of this port I received at the hands of a negro cabin-boy a cup Coffee which had been prepared by the ship's Cook. I drank about a mouthful and fancying from the taste that there was something wrong I carelessly threw overboard the greater part of the beverage. I soon felt very violent pains about the region of the stomach and about five minutes after drinking the Coffee I vomited. On hearing of the occurrence the Captain gave me an emetic and something to drink. None of the vomits were preserved, what remained of the Coffee was placed in a small bottle and handed over to the Doctor soon after our arrival in Hongkong. For several days I felt very weak and had a nasty taste in the mouth. I complained of a bad stomach. These symptoms continued until I placed myself under Dr. LOCKHEAD's treatment after the ship came into port."

The bottle contained about half an ounce of Coffee. There was a considerable sediment of a greyish brown colour which at first could not be very easily diffused throughout the supernatant decoc- A microscopical examination of the deposit revealed the presence of a number of fat globules (milk fat) and an amorphous body which was in due course identified with Calomel, the Sub-chloride or mild chloride of mercury of the British and United States Pharmacopoeias.

tion.

　A special report on the result of this analysis was forwarded to the American Consulate at the request of Colonel WITHERS, the United States Consul.

Most persons will agree with me in condemning in the strongest terms the practice-revealed in the course of my enquiry into this case-of leaving a ship's medicine chest open to persons other than the senior officers of the vessel.

2. Fish Poisoning.-On the night of the 16th of September some men were observed to put into a live fish tank in one of the City markets a substance known as Cha tsai ping. The fish

茶仔餅 were killed almost immediately. The water containing the poison was removed and a supply of fresh water put into the tank. The only material available for analysis was the dead fish.

The above data--derived from the depositions of the witnesses who gave evidence at the Magistracy -was obligingly placed at my disposal by Mr. H. E. WODEHOUSE, C.M.G., the senior Police Magis-

trate.

In this case two questions were referred to me by the Court for consideration and report :-

1. Can the active principle of Ch'a tsai ping be detected in the dead fish?

2. Are fish destroyed as above fit for human consumption?

Before giving an opinion on these two points I wrote to Mr. CHAS. FORD, F.L.S., the Superin- - tendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department enquiring if he could give me information con- cerning the preparation and uses of this poison, special reference being made to the possibility of more than one plant entering into its composition.

I append as an Appendix to this report, an extract from Mr. FORD's letter and also an extract from a memorandum sent to me by Mr. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, the Registrar-General, of whom I requested assistance in obtaining the opinion of the Chinese fish merchants as to the suitability or otherwise as an article of diet, of fish destroyed by Ch'a tsai ping or Ch'a fu as it is sometimes

termed.

It will be seen from Mr. FORD's account (Appendix A) of its preparation that the seeds of Camellia oleifera,' Abel, of the Natural Order Ternstroemiaceae, minus the oil, are the sole consti- tuent; and the practical observations he makes as to the uses of the substance for the destruction of low forms of animal life without doubt prove that it is a poison although only a mild one. Confirma- tory evidence on this latter point will be found in Mr. LOCKHART's memo. (Appendix B).

The only recorded description of this fish-poison accessible to me is that given by Mr. HUGH MCCALLUM in his annual report for 1882 and in a paper by the same author in the Pharmaceutical Journal (3) Vol. XIV, p. 21. Mr. MCCALLUM refers to its use as a fish-poison, and states that its activity is doubtless due to the glucoside saponin which exists in the seeds to the extent of about 10

The seeds also contain about 44 per cent of a fixed oil. per cent.

The action of saponin on man has been but little studied but Mr. WYNTER BLYTH is of opinion that it is an undoubted poison and capable of endangering the life of man.

The attempt made by me to discover the glucoside in one of the fishes sent to the Laboratory by the Police proved a failure.

With regard to the question as to the use as human food, of fish destroyed by Ch'a tsai ping, I would invite attention to the following consideration :-

1. The absence of any record of such fish acting injuriously.

2. The opinion of the Chinese as to their harmless nature.

3. The fact that birds are not affected by worms similarly destroyed.

(1.) Camellia Sasanqua. Thunb. Inder Flora Sinensis p. 82.

(2.) Poisons (1884), p. 421.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 14TH JULY, 1888. 737

　　　　　I can scarcely imagine, considering the rapidity of the action of the poison, that fish killed by saponin would have absorbed sufficient of the glucoside to render them objectionable as an article of diet: nevertheless the practice of destroying them by such means is one that the Government should, for several reasons, do all in its power to prevent.

　　　　　3. Supposed Administration of a Stupefying drug.-This was the case of a Chinese youth, 19 years of age, who on the 20th of May was admitted into the Civil Hospital under the influence of a narcotic poison.

The Magisterial enquiry elicited the following particulars :-Between 7 and 8 A.M., on the 17th of May, the boy-then residing in Canton with his parents--was sent by his father to pay a sum of money to a certain shopkeeper in that City. The lad did not return to breakfast and suspicion being aroused, his elder brother left for Hongkong the same evening and reported the occurrence at the Central Police Station. A reward was offered for the recovery of the boy and on the 20th of the same month a Detective found him in a state of insensibility on board a steamer that was about to leave Hongkong for Singapore.

When the boy was discharged from the Hospital and examined by the Magistrate he stated that as he was passing along one of the streets of Canton a man, whom be had never seen before, puffed some smoke into his eyes and rubbed his hand once down his face. He at once became insensible and remained oblivious of everything that took place from that day (the 17th) until the 20th when he regained his senses and found himself in the Hongkong Civil Hospital.

　　　　　　Dr. M. T. YARR, A.M.S., then the Acting Superintendent, was of opinion that when he examined. the boy he was recovering from the effects of a narcotic poison; but I failed to detect any poisonous principle in the material extracted from the lad's stomach soon after his admission into the Hospital. In this instance a special search was made for Atropine the active principle of Datura alba, Nees. the

Nau Yeung fa of Chinese Materia Medica.

　　　　　　A number of men were charged with kidnapping this youth but the case fell to the ground through lack of evidence.

　　　　　　A perusal of the cases of poisoning by Datura cited in No. 8 of Notes on Chinese Materia Medica(r) would lead one to imagine that this boy had been drugged with some agent allied in its physio- logical action to this easily accessible poison; and that the somewhat extraordinary symptoms recounted by the victim might be referred to the hallucinations to which persons are subject in the early stages of poisoning by drugs of the mydriatic class."

The remainder of the analysis were of minor importance and call for no special remarks.

REMARKS.

　　　　　　The new Assistant Apothecary Mr. W. MALCOLM WATSON entered on his duties on the 25th of September.

　　　　　　The appointment, to the Civil Medical Staff, of this officer who holds the Major Diploma of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, places the Department-so far as the Analytical and Pharma- ceutical work is concerned-on a proper footing. To provide quarters for his accommodation I vacated my rooms at the West end of the large building and pending the appointment, and for some months after the arrival of Dr. ATKINSON, I resided in the quarters set apart for the Superintendent. After this I removed to quarters at the East end of the Civil Hospital and am at present lodged there pending the construction, in connection with the Hospital extension scheme, of the new Laboratory with quarters attached, which will, I understand, be completed during the course of the present year.

I avail myself of this opportunity for stating that the Student Apothecary, Mr. UI KAI, conti- nues to make satisfactory progress with his studies.

I have the honour to be,

Appendix A.

　Extract from a letter received from Mr. CHAS. FORD, F.L.S. Director of the Hongkong Botanical Gardens.

"In reply to your enquiries concerning the preparation and uses of Ch'a tsai ping I have much pleasure in being able to furnish you with some

some information.'

　"While on a Botanical tour in the Kwangtung province, from which I have, just returned, I had an opportunity of inspecting plantations of the shrub from which the material is obtained, of seeing mills in which the article is prepared, and of receiving information on both the cultivation of the plant and the preparation of tea oil from an intelligent and courteous old Chinese gentleman."

　"Camellia oleifera, Abel, is extensively grown in South China for the production of seeds which yield a valuable oil known as tea oil. Ch'a tsai ping is the refuse matter left after the oil has been ex- pressed. The preparation is very simple. The seeds are collected in October or November, dried and taken to a mill where they are crushed in a circular mortar or trough by a pestle drive through it by water power. The seeds after being crushed are steamed and then the mass is placed in a powerful press which expresses the oil. The refuse, after the extraction of the oil is the article known as Cha tsai ping. It is produced in cakes weighing, when dry, about 3 ozs. and 3 lbs. respectively. The quality of the two kinds of cake is the same. I am not aware that anything besides the seeds of Camellia oleifera enters into the composition of these cakes."

"Ch'a tsai ping is used by the Chinese as a hair-wash and as soap for cleansing both the person- and clothes. It is also used for the eradication of earth worms from the soil in which plants in pots are grown. In these gardens we also use it for eradicating earth worms from grass lawns. For this purpose the cake is crushed and boiled. The decoction is then diluted and poured on the grass when the worms come to the surface of the ground. As a rule the small worms die, but the larger ones after a time recover. After being picked up from the grass the worms are often given to fowls and ducks which devour them readily and apparently thrive on them, experiencing no inconvenience from the effects of the Ch'a tsai ping with which the worms were killed."

Appendix B.

Extract from a memorandum on fish-poisoning agents received from Mr. J. H. STEWART, LOCK- HART the Registrar-General.

"In ponds of great dimensions these drugs (more than one is mentioned) are often used for killing fish and shrimps and are so powerful that not a single fish can escape. The fish so caught are offered for sale and the writer has never heard of a single instance in which any one has suffered from eating fish obtained in this way. Ch'a fu is sometimes used for killing earth worms."

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

The number of sudden deaths which are daily occurring preceded by vomiting and purging, renders it certain that whatever may be its exact nature, we have prevalent among us a most dangerous disease of a choleraic character.

　　Under these circumstances I am of opinion that other measures of prevention and pre- caution are required than have as yet been taken. The serious attention of the Board should, I think, be at once directed to the question of closing all contaminated Wells, and to the passing of the necessary bye-law on the subject. Though the Chinese habit of drinking water only after it has been boiled, no doubt produces comparative immunity from this source of danger, there must, I presume be always some danger from water-poisoning, so long as plates, dishes, clothing, &c. are washed in unboiled water. I am advised that abundance of water in the Pokfulam Reservoir, together with the prospect of the Tytam Works being available within a few months renders it safe to permit a continuous supply from the present mains, so that the inconvenience that would otherwise arise from the closing of Wells may be largely obviated. Possibly it might be entirely prevented by the provision of additional pipes and hydrants.

As regards the free supply of medicines I am of opinion that this should be rendered more generally available. Many Chinese shopkeepers might, no doubt, be found who would distribute medicine to those requiring it; and I am disposed to think that the people would more readily resort to them for supplies than to the Police Stations. If I am rightly informed that the Chinese have a strong prejudice against liquid medicine for cholera, that provided should be as far as possible solid.

While it is unnecessary to point out that special measures should be taken to enforce cleanliness, I am of opinion that, in order to render them as little as possible unpalatable to the people, their object should be plainly stated in a public notice.

The opportunity might at the same time be taken for issuing some simple directions for precaution against Cholera, and for its treatment in its initiatory stages. The pamphlet Cholera, how to prevent and oppose it" which was published by the Sanitary Board in 1885, no doubt contains very valuable hints for the intelligent, but it appears to me too elaborate for the ignorant, and the directions are in some respects inapplicable to the case of the poor, besides requiring supplement to provide for the peculiar local conditions. I request the earnest attention of the Board to these points; and I have full confidence that the Members will, both collectively and individually, use their utmost exertions to devise and carry out all practicable measures for combating the epidemic.

The following Assessor's Report on the Assessment for 1888-9, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st July, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary.

ASSESSOR'S OFFICE.

HONGKONG, 4th June, 1888.

　　　　　　　SIR,-I have now the honour to hand you the second Annual Report shewing the result of the work of the Assessment Department for the year ending 31st May, 1888.

　　　　　　1. During this period I have made an entirely New Assessment of Victoria, The Hill District, Pok-fu Lam, So-kon Po, and Kowloon Point; the assessment for the remaining portion of the Colony has been adopted for the ensuing year by order of the Governor in Council in accordance with the provisions of the Rating Ordinance.

　　　　　　　　2. The result of the New Assessment is that the Rateable Value of the entire Colony has been raised from $2,902,933 to $3,050,790 on the Old Assessment, shewing an increase of 5 per cent on the Rateable Value, viz.: $147,857 and an increase in the Rates to be collected of $16,697 or about 4.6 per cent above this year's Rates.

3. A perfectly reliable comparison cannot, however, be made between the Assessments of this year and that for the ensuing year as the latter has been made in accordance with the New Rating Ordinance, which has reduced the percentages in some cases, in the amount of rates to be paid, viz.: at Quarry Bay and Pok-fu Lam, the rates were 83% on the Rateable Value, and the Piers in Victoria are now only to be charged with 7 per cent instead of 13 per cent on their Rateable Value.

4. I annex hereto a Tabular statement which will more clearly shew the relative values of the respective Assessments.

　　　　　　5. The Rateable Value of property generally in this Colony is still on the increase. District No. 1 at the West End of the City has considerably increased in value, not so much in the value of individual Tenements as in the number of New Tenements erected. The Rateable Value of this part of the Town has increased 17 per cent. The Hill District, (Victoria Peak) has also considerably increased in value since the last Assessment and likewise Kowloon Point, mostly on account of the extensive Godowns which are being erected on the Praya.

6. The number of Rateable Tenements is 9,537 being an increase of 102, this is a small number, caused no doubt by the numerous Fires, 150 Tenements being thereby destroyed in twelve months and most of these Tenements although being rebuilt are not yet Rateable.

7. A very considerable portion of my time allotted for the General Assessment has been taken up in investigating the Returns made by the Chinese of the Rents they receive, on which I base my Assessment, and I regret to say that I believe a very large number of the returns made to me are false, in eight cases I conclusively proved to the Magistrates before whom I summoned the offenders, that false returns were knowingly made to me, in some cases by Chinese occupying a good position in the Mercantile World, and notwithstanding the widest publicity was given to the Magisterial proceedings, the offences were continued. In the above cases Fines to the amount of $2,875 were recovered.

772 SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 21ST JULY, 1888.

　8. In the course of the investigations I discovered a fraud which no doubt has been going on for some years whereby the owner of a property not only made a return to me of the rent he said he received, which, however, proved to be about half of what he actually did collect, but he collected Taxes from his Tenants by producing to them an authority purporting to emanate from the Colonial Treasury demanding Taxes based on a Rental even greater than the amount received thereby making a very large profit out of the Rates for which he was arrested and the Magistrate admitting him to bail in the sum of $1,500 to come up on remand, the defendant did not appear and so the bail was forfeited, and I have reasons to believe that this is but one of many such cases, but the difficulty of obtaining evidence from the Chinese is so great that it is almost impossible to get a conviction.

　9. The House numbering of the tenements having now been added to my duties by the Rating Ordinance, I purpose re-numbering the Old Tenements and numbering the New Ones, in the respective Villages as soon as possible as until that is done it is impossible to accurately assess them or describe them in the Rate Book.

　10. In conclusion I beg to state that, I believe the recent prosecutions have had a wholesome effect on the Chinese in making them see, that they can no longer, with impunity and without great risk of being very heavily fined, make false returns of their Rents to the Assessment Department.

　11. The amount of fines, &c. viz.: $4,375 will more than pay the entire cost of my Departuient this year, for which a sum of $3,598 was provided for in the Estimates.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant.

HARBOUR DEPARTMENT,

XXII. Diagram of Tonnage of Vessels entered.

XXIII. Return of the work performed by the Government Marine Surveyors.

　　2. This being the last Annual Return it will be my duty to make to the Government, I trust it will not be thought out of place to give a short account of the progress in Shipping, &c., the Colony has made since I have held the Offices of Harbour Master, Marine Magistrate, Emigration and Custom's Officer. I was in the first instance, while serving in the Royal Navy, temporarily employed by the Colony from the 17th March to 26th November, 1860; and in March, 1861, I was, on the resignation of my predecessor, permanently appointed to this Department.

　　3. The Department when I took charge consisted of the Harbour Master, three Clerks, and one Boarding Officer, the annual tonnage of the Port, exclusive of Junks, averaged about 878,135 tons, and the number of foreign built ships entering the Port daily was about 5.

4. The returns accompanying this report show the progress the Colony has made. Twenty-seven years ago steamers were the exception, and sailing ships the rule, and previous to 1866, Junks went in and out of harbour unnoticed. The average tonnage of a steamer then was very little over one thousand tons, whereas now it is no uncommon thing to see three or four steam-ships in Port at one time each measuring from 3 to 4000 tons and upwards.

5. The Regulations for the control of the Harbour had been in force since the Colony was created. My attention was soon drawn to this, and to the absence of, any means of providing for payment of fees for registering ships under the Merchant Shipping Acts, any Marine Court to enquire into casualties at sea, any regulations for cargo-boats, and any hoard to grant Certificates of Competency to Masters

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE OF 21ST JULY, 1888. 775

and Mates in the Mercantile Marine. On these matters being brought to the notice of the Government, the following Ordinances, affecting these great interests, were framed and became law :-

No. 10 of 1860, regulating fees under Merchant Shipping Act 1854.

No. 11 of 1860, to constitute Marine Courts of Enquiry.

No. 15 of 1860, to regulate Cargo-boats.

No: 17 of 1860, to constitute a board of examination for Masters and Mates.

No. 1 of 1862, to regulate and control the Harbour.

6. Previous to 1866 Piracy in Colonial and neighbouring waters was of common occurrence, and Shau-ki-wan bore a very bad name as the centre where Junks fitted out for piratical purposes. Its close proximity to the Lycemun Pass enabled Masters of heavily manned and armed Junks to follow vessels that had been ascertained to have opium, or other valuable cargo, on board. These were too frequently come up with and attacked at night, stink-pots and arms of all descriptions being freely used. Shortly after Governor Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S arrival his notice was attracted to the unenviable character Hongkong bore as a Pirate resort, and he introduced Ordinance 6 of 1866, which brought all Junks under the supervision of this Departinent, which was considerably increased to meet the requirements of the Ordinance. Harbour Master's Stations were created at Shau-ki-wan, Stanley, and Aberdeen (now supplemented by Stations at Yau-ma-ti and Hung-hom) so as to bring all Junks visiting these waters under close inspection, and no Junks have since been allowed to leave or enter the waters of the Colony without undergoing an examination by Inspectors appointed for the purpose. Ordinance 7 of 1866 compelled the registration of all Chinese householders, and the two Ordinances assisted by Gunboats which the Senior Naval Officer kept constantly cruizing had the desired effect, and Hongkong soon ceased to be a resort for Pirates, and that trade (if it may be so called) came to an end. Isolated acts of Piracy are still reported, but they are not attended with the slaughter and burning that existed in Hongkong's earlier days.

7. In 1867 Messrs. LANDSTEIN & Co., were permitted to keep a hulk off Yau-ma-ti, clear of all shipping, for the storage of Gunpowder. At 1.15 P.M. of the 17th January, 1867, a vessel was lying alongside the hulk discharging Gunpowder when an explosion took place and the two vessels and people on board were destroyed. A Gunpowder Ordinance (No. 4 of 1867) was at once passed bringing the storage of all private Gunpowder within the control of the Government, with a result that has proved satisfactory.

　　　　　　8. In 1867, the increasing shipping of the Colony brought the question of Lighthouses promi- nently before the Government. Reports were made and with the assistance of the late Staff Com- mander REED, a Naval Surveyor in command of H.MS. Rifleman, the Islet of Waglan at the Eastern approach to the Harbour, Green Island at the Western entrance, and the Gap rock to mark the Southern approach to the Colony were recommended as the most favourable sites for Lighthouses. Difficulties were raised then, and they apparently continue, by the Chinese Government as to the Colony erecting such buildings on Chinese Territory, and it was not until after much loss of time and a great deal of correspondence that this Government was compelled to build Lighthouses within its own jurisdiction, and Cape d'Aguilar, Cape Collinson, and Green Island Lighthouses were erected under the provisions of Ordinance 17 of 1873, and lit for the first time on the 18th April, 1875. The concession, or letting of Waglan and Gap rock at a nominal rent to this Colony, together with Green Island, would have made the lighting of the approaches to Hongkong complete. At present such is not the case, and all apparently owing to a sentimental feeling on the part of the Chinese Government, for most certainly neither Waglan nor Gap rock are of any value except as sites for Lighthouses.

ment.

9. Ordinance 1 of 1874 brought the survey of unseaworthy ships under the control of the Govern-

10. In 1875, an explosion and loss of life on board a steam launch in the Harbour caused an rdinance to be brought into force for the regulation of steam ferry boats, of which there are now 42 censed. The Masters and Engineers of these boats undergo an examination at this Office, the boats are thoroughly examined every six months, and no further accident has occurred.

11. Till 1876, steamers plying between Hongkong, Canton and Macao were under no regulation whatever, and they at times carried as many passengers as could be crammed into them. These vessels are now, as indeed are all vessels carrying more than 12 passengers, under stringent regulations as to the number of passengers they can convey, the condition of boilers and engines is ascertained and it is stated on the ship's certificates in what parts of the ships and how many passengers can be carried.

12. The Shipping Ordinances passed previous to 1879 were consolidated by Ordinance 8 of 1879, and in framing this Ordinance advantage was taken to introduce regulations for the Survey of ships carrying more than 12 passengers, for the appointment of practical Marine Surveyors to conduct the urveys, for the examination of Engineers as to their qualifications, for the carriage of dangerous goods, for holding Courts of Survey, for regulating medicines and medical stores, and other smaller details were introduced to meet the requirements of the time.

13. The following table from 1861 to 1887 inclusive, will at once show the yearly increase of the arrivals of vessels at this Port. Where it has been possible to separate sailing ships from steamers and Junks I have done so, and the result will show a very satisfactory statement of the Colony's progress:

　14. The Emigration laws of the Colony were not in a very satisfactory condition in 1861. Besides the Imperial Chinese Passenger's Act 1855. Ordinances 11 of 1857 and 6 of 1859 were in force and others were added, which for convenience were consolidated by Ordinance 5 of 1874, and since then additional Ordinances for the protection of Chinese Emigrants have been brought into force, but these call for no special remark.

　15. I will now bring to the notice of the Government a statement of the Shipping, Emigration, &c.: in 1887 as compared with 1886.

SHIPPING.

　16. The grand total of all vessels including Junks arriving here in 1887 is 27,559 vessels measuring 6,401,837 tons, or an increase of 377 vessels and 77,673 tons on the previous year, making a daily average arrival of 75.5 vessels measuring about 232 tons each; and of this very large trade 53.6 per cent is under the British flag.

　17. The following paragraphs refer to the trade in vessels of foreign construction, the Junk trade being dealt with separately under its proper heading.

18. During the year under review 3.890 ships propelled by steain measuring 4,468,302 tons, and 188 sailing vessels measuring 139,612 tons arrived, being a decrease of 73 steam-ships, but an increase of 108,396 tons showing the additional capacity of steamers of the present day.

　19. There is a decrease on the whole of 100 sailing ships measuring 71,778 tons, the decrease being principally in British bottoms. Sailing vessels under foreign flags are now 100 per cent in excess of the same class of vessels carrying the British flag.

Of the above mentioned 3,890 steam-ships entering the Port, 2,873 are British and the remaining 1,017 are foreign owned, or a difference of 182.5 per cent in favour of British ships.

20. The nationality of the various steam-vessels arriving at this Port come in the following order :-

　　　　　21. The vessels under the French, Dutch, United States, Italian, and Austrian flags are few in number but of large capacity some are subsidized by their respective Governments. The Russian ships belong to the so-called Volunteer fleet and pass through with Troops, Prisoners, free Emigrants, and Stores. The British ships vary very much in size thereby reducing their average capacity, and the same may be said of German ships.

　　　　　22. There is a decrease in tonnage under the following flags: American 51,783 tons, Austrian 17,093 tons, French 12,852 tons, and an increase under the British flag of 62,141 tons, Norwegian 28,984 tons. Under other flags the increase or decrease is too unimportant for special notice.

　　　　　　23. Of the Countries with which this trade is conducted: In British vessels there is an increase with British Columbia of 12,446 tons, Java and adjacent Islands 18,783 tons, Macao 38,710 tons, Hainan 9,532 tons and Siam 22,863 tons; there is a decrease of 26,068 tons with Coast of China and Formosa, and of 20,937 tons to Cochin-China.

　　　　　24. In Foreign bottoms there is an increase with Coast of China and Formosa of 10,934 tons, India and Singapore, &c. 16,003 tons, Japan 75,851 tons, Hainan 10,058 tons, Russia in Asia 16,065 tons and Siam 35,254 tons; the decrease is with Australia 20,644 tons, Cochin-China 56,570 tons, Europe 19,728 tons, Great Britain 19,561 tons, Macao 24,988 tons and the United States of America 10,447 tons.

JUNKS.

　　　　　　25. The trade in Junks from the Coast of China and Formosa shows an increase of 691 vessels measuring 62,875 tons, but the trade from Macao in this class of vessel shows a decrease of 141 vessels and 21,820 tons. There is also a decrease of 620 vessels and 16,603 tons in the carrying trade between Victoria and the Villages in the Island and Yau-ma-ti.

STEAM-LAUNCHES.

26. Of these vessels there are 42 licensed to carry passengers, 43 private boats, 10 Local Govern- ment boats and 7 belonging to the War Department. These boats add much to the active appearance of the Harbour, and on one occasion, under the following circumstances, gave a practical illustration of their usefulness beyond their ordinary employment. The Pacific Mail Steam ship Company S.S. City of Peking (3,129 tons), while passing through the shipping on her way to her buoy, collided with the Messageries Maritimes S.S. Saghalien (2,444 tons) striking her on her broadside damaging her below the water line. A large number of launches voluntarily seized hold of the latter ship and towed her until she grounded in shallow water off the Cosmopolitan Docks, probably saving the vessel from sinking in 8 or 9 fathoms of water.

The licensed launches are gradually driving the small Junks out of the carrying trade with the Villages.

EMIGRATION.

27. Of the whole number of Emigrants leaving in 1887 (82,897) there is an increase on the previous year of 16,401 Male adults, 1,530 Female adults, 300 Male children and 144 Female children, this increase being divided as follows:-

28. With so extensive an Emigration, it is scarcely possible to prevent abuses, but it is satisfac- tory to know that they are in a very small proportion.

29. Women and children under 12 years of age have to provide two photographs each, one is kept on record at this Office, and the other remains in the possession of the Emigrant, so that on arrival at their destination there can be no question as to their identity, should, after the vessel has sailed, any one appear at this Office and complain that a relative has been improperly taken away. With male adults it is more difficult to deal, and they are a good deal left to their own resources. They are all however questioned as to their desire to leave the Colony, and if their replies are in the affirmative there can be no reason why they should not exercise their rights and proceed on their voyage. If any emigrants leave here against their will it is entirely due to themselves for not stating the truth when questioned at the Harbour Office in the first place, and again when questioned and medically examined on board the ship by which they are to proceed.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

30. Four vessels were registered during the year, and nine Certificates of Registry were cancelled.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

31. Ninety cases were heard in the Marine Magistrate's Court during the year.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS, MATES AND ENGINEERS, UNDER

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION 13 OF ORDINANCE No. 8 or 1879.

33. The following Courts have been held during the year :--

1. On the 30th June, 1887.-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Benledi, Official No. 65,767 of Leith. on the "Boat Rocks" to the South West of the Lammocks Island Lighthouse, on the 18th June, 1887. The Master's (JAMES LAWSON RIDDOCH) Certificate of Competency was returned to him. In this case the Harbour Master (President of the Court) disagreed with the Finding, and under Sub-section 5, Section 13, Ordinance 8 of 1879, reported to the Governor his reason for dissent therefrom. 2. On the 22nd November, 1887.-Inquiry as to the burning and loss of the British Steam- ship Wah Yeung, Official No. 88,834 of Hongkong, near Chuen Pee Point, in the Canton River, on the 15th November, 1887, resulting in great loss of life. The Master's (JOHANNES H. A. WITT) Certificate of Competency was suspended for three months. 3. On the 28th November, 1887.-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Killarney. Official No. 65,876 of Dublin, which was run down and sunk by the British Steam-ship Crusader, Official No. 63,856 of Glasgow, in Iloilo Bay, Philippine Islands, on the 14th November, 1887. The Master of the Killarney's (JAMES O'NEILL) Certificate of Competency was returned to him.

4. On the 22nd December, 1887.---Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Lorne, Official No. 62,297 of Leith, on the East Coast of Hainan, on the 3rd December. 1887, resulting in loss of life. The only surviving Officers so far as can be ascertained being the Second Mate and the Third Engineer. No blame was attached to the Master (WILLIAM HUNTER) or any of the Officers.

SEAMEN.

34. 9,458 Seamen were shipped at the Shipping Office during the year, and 10,378 discharged. this discrepancy is owing to Consuls representing foreign flags not applying as hitherto for permits to ship Seamen on board their respective vessels, consequently no record of such shipping can now be kept.

MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.

　　　　　35. I append a return of the work performed by the Surveyors, since Mr. BREWER'S first appointment.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant.

　　Mr. FRANCIS and Dr. Ho KAI respectively gave notice that they would record in writing the reasons of their dissent, which are as follows:---

Protest of Dr. Ho KAI and of Mr. J. J. FRANCIS, Q.C., Members of the Sanitary Board, against the decision of the Board to proceed with the consideration of the Bye-Laws prepared and submitted by a select Committee appointed by the Board to prepare Bye-Laws under Sub-sections 1, 2, and 3 of Section 13 of the Health Ordinance.

1. We object to the Board proceeding with the consideration of the Bye-Laws until it has before it in writing the evidence on which the Select Committee acted in framing them and the Report of the Sanitary Engineer referred to by the Honourable the Surveyor General.

2. We object to the Board proceeding to legislate on the subject of house- drainage until it has before it some definite information on the main drainage of the Colony, and as to any proposed new drainage scheme.

3. We object to the Board proceeding with the consideration of the present draft Bye-Laws, because they fail to distinguish between old buildings and new and muddle together several matters that ought to be separately and distinctly provided

for.

The Board has full power to deal with new buildings as defined by the Ordinance. It has no power whatever to deal with old buildings and the drains of such buildings until, in the words of Section 50 of the Ordinance, they are found "defective and insanitary." To pass the first Bye-Law would be to enable the Officers of the Board to interfere with the drains in existing buildings whether in an insanitary state or not, and compel, within a very short time, the entire reconstruc- tion of the existing drainage according to the new scheme, whether it needed recon- struction or not, the Health Ordinance having been specially framed to minimise, as much as possible, interference with existing arrangements and vested interests.

4. We object and protest in the strongest possible terms against the hasty and inconsiderate way in which the Board is proceeding, under pressure from the Surveyor General, to frame important Bye-Laws affecting large interests, without making itself acquainted with its powers under the Health Ordinance and the limita- tions of those powers and without having before it as a Board any evidence, any information as to the evils it desires to remedy.

5. We protest against the theory that it is a matter of indifference how we frame our Bye-Laws, as they must be confirmed by the Legislative Council and the .Council will correct our defective work. The duty has been imposed upon us by law of working out these Bye-Laws conscientiously and thoroughly with a due regard to our powers and responsibilities and we cannot shift the burden from our own shoulders without disgrace.

Hongkong, 26th July, 1888.

HO KAI, JNO. J. FRANCIS.

The Board then went into Committee.

Clause 1 passed and progress reported. ADJOURNMENT.-The Board then adjourned until Thursday, the 26th instant, at 4.30 P.M.

Made by the Captain Superintendent of Police, pursuant to Section 19 of the Police Consolidation Ordinance, 1887, (No. 14 of 1887).

I.-EUROPEANS.

　　1. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' service, on claiming his return passage, under $16 of Ordinance 14 of 1887, apply through the Captain Superin- tendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.

14 of 1887.

7. If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Subordinate Officer's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on con- sideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Subordinate Officer may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.

8. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time constituting any term of five years service for bonus or passage.

II.-INDIANS.

1. Leave of absence will be granted to Indians, after each period of five years' service, subject to the following conditions :-

4. That the Applicant's previous character has been good.

b. That the leave does not exceed six months, except on special authority.

e. That the period on leave counts towards the time of service necessary for pension, in the proportion of two months' leave counting as one month's service, and will enable him to count his previous service towards the period of service required before a pension is grunted.

d. That half pay is granted for the period on leave, and the return passage of the Applicant defrayed. These amounts will be paid on the Applicant's return to the Colony and re-

enlistment.

e. The number of men on leave will be limited at the discretion of His Excellency the

Governor.

On the Applicant's return he will be sworn in under $$ 8 and 13 of Ordinance 14 of 1887,

KOREA-CHEMULPO.

Dangerous Isolated Rock.

Information has been received from Lieutenant Commander J. E. Craig, U. S. N., Commanding U. S. S. Palos, of the existence of an isolated rock, not laid down on the chart, in the East Channel leading to Che mulpo, Korea. As located by him it lies to the southward and westward of the South Watcher and on the northern circumference of the 2 fathom patch at the extremity of a diameter extending N. by W. and S. by E. (mag.) The 24 fathom patch is shown on the chart just north of Young Hung Do. The geographical position of the rock is N. 37 deg. 18 min. 14 sec. and E. 126 deg. 27 min. At a low stage of water the rock is exposed about 3 feet, while at the commencement of the flood tide it is com- pletely covered. The rock is 20 feet long in a north and south direction and 12 feet wide, with a pinnacle at its southern end 24 feet higher than the body of the rock. The rock while not lying directly in the fairway is a danger to vessels beating, or to steamers standing up the passage in fogs and strong tides of that locality, or in seeking an anchorage near the South Watcher. To clear the danger en route to Chemulpo in rounding Young Hung Do bring North Watcher and highest point of Yo dol mi in range north east (mag.) Run on this range until South Watcher bears four points on star- board bow. This will clear the danger, and then a course N.E. 7-8 E. (mag.) may be set leading between the Watchers.

　　　　　　The 2 fathom patch above quoted seems to be incorrectly termed as depthis were found on it varying from 6 to 18 feet.

The isolated rock has been called Pender Rock having been reported by Capt. Pender of s.s. Owari Maru. Chart affected, B. A. 1258 and the China Sea Directory (1884) Vol. IV p. 57. (North and South Watcher's.)

The net profits for that period, including $20,903.51 balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful accounts amount to $720,441.36, of which after taking out remuner- ation to Directors there remains for appropria- tion $710,441.36.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One Pound and Ten Shillings per Share, which will absorb $400,000.

The difference in Exchange between 46, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 3/0, the rate of the day, amounts to $200,000.

They recommend transferring $100,000 to the Credit of Reserve Fund which will then stand at $4,000,000.

The Balance of $10,441.36 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.

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 Mandariu 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 cou- 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, wili be published and sold separately.

1. The meaning of the word "Chinese" referred to in this Act is as follows: All persons who were born of Chinese parents, or who are natives of China, or who are natives of the dependencies of China, or whose parents belong to the Islands on the China Seas are Chinese.

　　　　　　2. Commencing from the 1st March, 1888, in the event of any vessels coming to Hawaii, if the Chinese (passengers on board) have not obtained proper permits from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, they shall not be allowed to enter the territory, the said permits to be in accordance with the regula- tions made under the Act and published by the Minister of the Foreign Affairs in conjunction with the various high officials. Any regulations that may be frained hereafter shall not however be included. If any Chinese can prove to the satisfaction of the Minister of Foreign Affairs that they have already had permission to come to the Hawaiian Territory, they shall not come under the restriction.

　　　　　　3. If the Captains of any vessels let the Chinese land or attempt to send them ashore without such permits as aforesaid, they shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $200 in respect of each (of the Chinese immigrants so smuggled). For infringement of the law, the Chinese shall likewise be liable to a fine of $50, and the Captains shall be directed to carry the said Chinese back (to where they had come from). If after the issue of a proclamation by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Any one should disobey this, he shall be liable to a fine of $200 or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding 30 days.

Any persons who either purposely bring or assist in bringing or are compelled by circumstances to bring into the Hawaiian Territory any Chinese in contravention of the law they shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $200 or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding 30 days in respect of each (of the Chinese immigrants so smuggled).

　　　　　　5. Notwithstanding the above mentioned sections, the Minister of the Foreign Affairs shall be required to issue permits in accordance with the following regulations.

A. With regard to the issue of perinits to the Chinese after the Act has been passed, and to the issue of permits to the Chinese to enable them to return to Hawaii in future, after the Act has come into operation, it shall be necessary that these Chinese should have been resident in the Kingdom of Hawaii for two years, and also that the Minister of Foreign Affairs should satisfy himself that they are not vagrants, criminals, swindlers, mendicants, opium-smokers, nor are they people that will likely break the laws of the Kingdom in future. In such cases no permits can be issued.

B. If the "Society for the protection of the living" should represent that the Chinese are of advantage to the Arts of the Kingdom and are absolutely required for the purpose of cultivation, the various high officials shall meet and consider the matter, and may allow the Chinese to have permits, but their number cannot exceed 300 in one quarter. C. Servants accompanying their masters the masters not being Chinese shall have permits.

issued to them to enable them to land at the Hawaiian Territory.

D. Travellers and merchants or traders who on account of business in the Hawaiian Territory wish to come and stay here for a short time may do so, but they cannot stay for more than 6 months.

Further they shall be required to give security in the sum of $500 in order to guarantee that they will leave the territory within 6 months. Should they be found in Hawaii after the expiration of that time, they shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for any term not exceeding 6 months with hard labour, and the security shall also be forfeited owing to misconduct on the part of the said persons. For every permit issued under this section, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is allowed to charge a fee of $5.

　　　　　　6. The Minister of the Foreign Affairs, and the Hawaiian Consuls in Hongkong, San Francisco and Shanghai or the Head Merchant shall be at liberty to issue "permits to immigrate to Hawaii" to respectable Chinese women, or women who accompany their husbands or to boys and girls under 14 years of age whose parents are in Hawaii, or who come here in company with their parents or where the whole family, father mother son and daughter all come together, but the regulations above alluded to must be observed. For permits issued under this section, no fees are charged.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND SEPTEMBER, 1888.

7. As to the various Ambassadors and the Preachers of Christianity, the Minister of Foreign Affairs shall have power to issue to them permits to enter the Hawaiian Territory, but they must have clear proof to show (that they are what they represent themselves to be).

8. Any Chinese Commissioners who come hither on account of any affairs in Hawaii will not be affected by this restrictive measure. Their letters of credentials shall be taken as permits. Their retinue and servants may also land in the same way as any Chinese holders of permits.

9. Permits issued under the provisions of this Act only entitle the holders thereof to come. They cannot be transferred to some one else. Should anything of this nature happen, the permits shall be considered as waste paper. Any persons doing such a thing or aiding and abetting others in doing so shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $200 or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months.

10. Permits issued under the provisions of this Act should, on the holders thereof entering the Hawaiian Territory, be delivered up to the Commissioner of Customs who shall transmit same to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for his inspection and scrutiny. The Commissioner of Customs shall also have power to detain any persons who clandestinely enter the Hawaiian Territory or whom he suspects of having committed an offence against this Act, until the issue of warrants for their apprehension.

11. Any offences against any of the sections of this Act. with the exception of Section 5 shall be tried and decided by the Magistrates. If (the people concerned) are dissatisfied with the Magistrates' decision, they shall have the right to appeal to the Supreme Court.

12. The fees received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs for permits issued under the provisions of this Act have been looked into, and after deducting the amount of the expenditure, the balance has been placed in the Treasury. This money is considered as tax chargeable on Chinese for immigration and emigration.

13. The Chinese Immigration Act, No. 20, passed on the 1st August, 1878, and the amendment framed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the 13th July, 1883, with the consent of the King and the various high officials are hereby totally repealed.

A NOTICE ON THE SUBJECT OF VACCINATION.

Notice is hereby given that, since the passing of the Vaccination Ordinance in February last, the parent or gulan of every child must according to law cause such child to be vaccinated, if such child be six months or more than six months old, by a Medical Practitioner or Public Vaccinator. After the vaccination has been successfully carried out, a certificade has to be granted by the Vaccinator, and that certincate must be lodged at the Registrar General': Oflice within three days after the vacci nation. If a child is unfit for vaccination, a certificate to that effect must be obtained from a Medical Practitioner, and produced for record at the Registrar General's Office, and such certificate must be renewed every two months until the vaccination has been successfully completed.

In the event of a Medical Practitioner or Public Vaccinator being of opinion after three successive vaccinations that a child is insusceptible of the vaccine disease, the parent or guardian of such child must be furnished with a certificate to that effect which must be lodged at the Registrar General's Office within three days after it has been issued.

All persons who do not comply with this low shall be duly notified, and if within ten days after the receipt of the notice they do not act in accordance with it, and do not produce any of the certificates required by law, they shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five dollars (255) or be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten days; and if they then refuse to cause their child to be vaccinated, they shall forfeit a sum not exceeding fifty dollars ($59) or be liable to imprisonment for a term not excool- ing three months.

The persons who are allowed by law to vaccinate are Medical Practitioners, --that is, all doctors who have been registered under the Medical Registration Ordinance,--and Public Vaccinators,-that is, persons authorized and appointed by the Governor under the provisions of the Vaccination Ordinance for the special purpose of vaccination. The names of the persons who have been appointed to grant certificates of unfitness for vaccination and of the Public Vaccinators, together with the places at. which and the dates on which free vaccination will be carried on are given below:

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperia 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, wili be published and sold separately.

The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 4th June last, were read and confirmed. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, GAP ROCK LIGHT-HOUSE-Read the following Message from His Excellency the Governor :-

G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

The Governor has pleasure in directing to be laid on the table the further correspondence (other than confidential) which has taken place on the subject of the proposed Light-house at the Gap Rock.

　　Though none of the alternative proposals recently submitted by the Governor to the Chinese Government were considered altogether free from objection. an arrangement based on them has, nevertheless, been arrived at which practically secures the object in view, viz.: the improvement of the Southern approach to Hongkong by the erection of a Light-house and the maintenance of a Light at a point where this convenience to shipping has long been very urgently required, and on the site which all competent authority regards as the best for the

purpose.

　　This arrangement is not in all respects such as might be desired; but there is excellent reason for believing that it is the most favourable that can be obtained, and that unless it were accepted, the attainment of the end desired would again be indefinitely postponed.

　　In this view of the arrangement, the Governor feels bound to make public acknowledg ment of the service rendered, in devising and proposing it. by Sir ROBERT HART, the able

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH OCTOBER, 1888. Inspector-General of the Chinese Imperial Customs, who has thus found the means of further- ing the interest of British trade while at the same time loyally conforming to the very natural and intelligible prejudices of the Chinese Government.

And while recognizing the means by which this benefit has been obtained, the Governor desires also to express his regret that any words used, or reported to have been used, by him in Council in connection with this question should have been considered as reflecting upon His Excellency Sir JOHN WALSHAM, Her Majesty's Minister at Pekin.

Nothing in the knowledge of the Governor has furnished any ground for such reflection; on the contrary he considers that Sir JOHN WALSHAM deserves the thanks of the Colony for taking the only course which was at all likely to achieve success, and for thus bringing to a satisfactory termination, a question which has been the subject of much futile correspondence with his predecessors.

In connection with this Gap Rock arrangement, the Governor had hoped to be able to secure another improvement in the lighting of the approaches to Hongkong by the removal to Waglan Island of the Light-house now at Cape D'Aguilar. But, though his efforts in this direction have so far proved unsuccessful, he does not propose to relinquish them, if such course be approved by the Council.

The erection of a Light-house at Waglan would be far less difficult than at Gap Rock; and it is possible therefore that the Chinese Government might be more easily induced to undertake the work with its own staff, if a sufficient subsidy were promised by this Colony.

But pending any such negotiation, the issue of which would of course be uncertain, the Governor considers that there should be no delay of the work at the Gap Rock, if the arrange- ment respecting it should meet with the approval of the Council, and receive the sanction of the Secretary of State.

For this reason the proposal recently made (with a view to save time in construction) for placing a flashing Light at Waglan and a fixed Light at the Gap, will require to be abandoned; and it is deemed to be on the whole expedient to revert to the original plan of a flashing Light at the Gap. Placed at the same height there seems to be no doubt that a flashing Light would be much more useful than a fixed Light; and apparently Sir ROBERT HART, whose experience on the subject is entitled to very great weight, is of opinion that the greater height required for the former is a disadvantage which would not be sufficient to out- weigh this superiority.

The two Light-houses, if we should succeed in obtaining both, would thus be more costly than would have been the case if the Governor's proposal to include them in the same arrangement had met with success; but considering that there now annually enter the Port of Victoria vessels with an aggregate measurement of nearly six millions and a half of tons. (a tonnage it may be remarked which according to the published returns is larger than that of the Ports of all the British Possessions on the Continent of America and larger also than that of the total of the three leading Colonies of Australia) and considering that the Southern is, if anything, the more important of the two approaches to the Island, it may be taken as certain that no expense which is at all likely to be incurred can be otherwise than very in- considerable by comparison with the advantage gained in the saving of time alone, and without reference to the losses of vessels directly attributable to the absence of Lights.

The cost which would have been saved to the shipping trade, if a Light at the Gap Rock had been provided at the time when the subject was first mooted would now amount to a sum which could probably be only expressed in hundreds of thousands of Pounds; and the Governor trusts therefore he has reason in congratulating the Council and the Colony that a want of such very great importance is at length to be supplied.

FREDERICK STtewart, Colonial Secretary.

www.cam.com

G. WILLIAM DES V?UX.

The Governor has directed to be laid on the table for the consideration of the Legislative Council the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for 1889.

REVENUE.

With the taxation remaining as at present the Estimate of Ordinary Revenue would have been $1,740,818, or an increase of $303,148 as compared with the estimated, and of some $253,000 as compared with what will probably be the actual, Revenue of 1888, provision requiring to be made for the largely enhanced price obtained for the new Opium Farm Contract, which will affect nine months of the coming year, and also for substantial improvement in various other items, due principally to the rapidly growing population and increasing prosperity of the Colony, and also in part, as regards Assessed taxes, to more careful rating and better collection.

978

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH OCTOBER, 1888.

It will however be observed that the actual amount appearing as the estimate of Revenue is $1,737,718, the difference being produced as follows:-Deduction has been made, for reasons given below (i) of $1,100, the amount of tax now received annually from the crews (other than the headmen) of cargo-boats; and (ii) of $47,000 for re- ductions in the assessed rates; while addition has been required of a sum of $45,000, the estimated product of the additional shipping-rate to be levied for the cost of the Gap Rock Light-house.

As regards Extraordinary Receipts-chiefly derived from premiums on the sales of land-which as representing capital are rightly excluded from the accounts of Ordinary Revenue, the amount to be expected will largely depend on (i) the result of the strong representations which have been made by the Governor with the view to the removal of the Military restrictions on the sale of the sites above the Kennedy Road, and (ii) on the approval by Her Majesty's Government of the project, about to be submitted, for the Extension of the Praya in front of the Admiralty and War Office Reserves. Allow- ing however for this item $150,000 a sum likely to be realised under any circumstances, the total receipts of the year would amount to $1,887,718.

EXPENDITURE.

The Ordinary Expenditure is estimated at $1,394,665 or an increase of $62,472 as compared with that for 1888. The apparent increase in Departmental expenses of $91,808 is due, as regards $35,474, to votes for Scavenging and for the Lock Hospital, which have hitherto appeared under the head of Miscellaneous services, and are now transferred to the Sanitary and Medical Department respectively. The real increase under this head. $56,334 (principally due to the needs of the increasing population,) will be as usual explained in detail before the Finance Committee. Some of the principal items however deserve special notice.

Surveyor General.

The net increase of the votes for the establishment of this Department amounts in the aggregate to $16,708. The recommendations which involve this increase have been made only after careful consideration and consultation with Mr. PRICE, the Surveyor General, who, it may be remarked, will himself probably derive no benefit from them, as to the Governor's deep regret, the Colony is about to suffer the loss of his most valuable services, he having applied to retire on the ground of ill health.

The duties connected with the Public Works of Hongkong appear to be especially prejudicial to the health of the Officers. The occasions are rare during the hot season when several of the staff are not incapacitated by illness. During the last month no less than nine Officers at one time were unfit for duty, and many works are thereby unduly retarded. As one instance out of many, the Estimates for the Extension of the Praya in front of the Admiralty and War Office property have, owing to this cause, been delayed for several months; and it has therefore been impossible to submit to Her Majesty's Government the scheme for this long-delayed and supremely important improvement, which, the Governor is most glad to announce, received early in the year the concurrence of the local authorities, Civil, Naval and Military, (the question however of the proportion of the cost to be paid respectively by the Local and Imperial Governments remaining yet to be settled).

The staff as increased by these recommendations will, in the opinion of the Governor, be not more than sufficient for the work which will, under any circumstances, be required in the coming years. A still further, though temporary, addition to the strength of the Department will be required, if there should be an immediate commencement of all the Public Works to which reference is made below.

Police.

The increase of $10,684 in the votes for this Department is principally to supply an addition to the numbers of the Force, required to meet the growth of the population.

Gaols.

The additions..to salaries in this Department are chiefly for the purpose of bringing about a very necessary improvement in the staff, the remuneration hitherto given having rarely proved sufficient to be a permanent attraction to good Officers. The increase to the salary of the Superintendent, the Governor has felt compelled to recommend for reasons which will be explained in Finance Committee.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH OCTOBER, 1888.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPENDITURE.

979

With Ordinary Revenue estimated at $1,737,718, and Ordinary Expenditure at $1,394,665, there is thus a balance of $343,053. Certain recommendations which the Governor intends to make to the Secretary of State, but which cannot be introduced into the Estimates without previous sanction, may possibly reduce this balance by a sum certainly not exceeding $60,000 leaving $283,053. Adding to this $150,000 which has been stated as likely under any circumstances to be realised from land-premiums, and $445,000 the probable balance in the Treasury at the end of the present year, there results a total of $878,053 available for the cost of Public Works and to meet unforeseen contingencies.

The Extraordinary Public Works specified in the List accompanying the Estimates are all of them urgently needed. The necessity for their being immediately undertaken no doubt differs in degree; but with the funds available, none of them, in the opinion of the Governor, can be commenced too soon. It will be seen that the utmost sum which is estimated as likely to be capable of being profitably expended on them during the coming year is $637,626. This amount can be readily afforded. For apart from the steady advance which is being shown in all the important items of Revenue, there will almost certainly be in 1890 a still larger surplus of Ordinary Revenue than in 1889, owing to the fact that the New Opium contract will be in force during the whole twelve, instead of only nine, months; while if, as there is reason to hope, the proposed works in connexion with the junction of the East and West Prayas should be, before that time, progress, there would probably be largely increased receipts from Land-premiums, owing to the impetus which would thereby be given to building in the Eastern district of Victoria.

As regards most of these works, the mere mention of them by name is sufficient to suggest their necessity to residents of Hongkong. One of them, however, the Separate System of Drainage which happens to be the most costly, may possibly require further explanation.

The report of Mr. COOPER, the Sanitary Surveyor, on this subject fully supported as it is by the valuable opinion and judgment of the Surveyor General, has however produced in the Governor as complete a conviction of the necessity of the work as can be justly entertained by one who is not an expert; and he is of opinion that if the view of our local Engineers should be approved by the eminent professional authorities in England, to whom the question will be referred, this Government would assume a very grave responsibility if it failed to make the earliest practicable commencement of the works proposed.

Besides the Public Works appearing on the List there are (i) some equally required which cannot be commenced at once, such as a New Harbour Office, which requires to be placed on the proposed Reclamation, and New Supreme Court Buildings, Post Office, and Registrar General's Office, all of which it is proposed to include with the other Government Offices in one large building to be erected on the site of the present North Barracks, and on the reclamation in front of it (the whole cost of these however being likely to be recouped by the sale of the sites of the present buildings); and (ii) others which, it may be hoped, will be commenced in the coming year; viz.:---

Extension of the Praya in front of the Admiralty and War Office

Total,.....

... 9)

$ 400,000 363,000

30,000

$793,000

These however being all works, not merely remunerative as are some of the others, but such as will very quickly repay the whole of their cost with, in the case of the Re- clamations, a large profit in addition, the Governor is of opinion that there can be no reasonable objection to the provision of the required funds by loan, unless, as is by no means impossible, that course should prove unnecessary.

As regards borrowing funds for works which will benefit future generations as well as the present, especially such works as are of a remunerative character, the Governor believes that if the true position of this Colony were more fully known all reasonable objections against such a policy would be removed, and the interest required would moreover be reduced below the 4 per cent. which is the rate paid in respect of. the last Loan. Considering the extremely small indebtedness of Hongkong with reference even to its immediately realisable assets, the Governor is decidedly of opinion that if there were necessity for borrowing a sum many times larger than is at all to be required, there could scarcely be offered more complete security for it.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH OCTOBER, 1888.

For though the area of the Colony is small, its Crown lands are of an exceptional value, and a value which is morally certain to increase pari passu with the rapid growth of the population.

Without attaching undue weight to the many recent sales of land at distances of 11?2 to 2 miles from the town of Victoria at prices varying from 20 cents to 40 cents a square foot, or to the recent valuation (believed to be more than justified by existing. market prices) of the reclamation about to be undertaken in front of the Praya at ($7,910,821, or including that in front of the Government property at) $9,714,777 it may in any case be fairly considered that these figures throw a useful light on the prospect of the future, if the Colony, as there is every reason to suppose it will, should continue to prove an attraction to the people of the neighbouring Empire.

In the absence of calamity impossible to foresee and on the presumption that the Government is wise enough to maintain the present freedom of trade, there can be no moral doubt that the 20,000 acres of unsold land in the Colony (most of which is as suitable, or not more unsuitable for building than was originally that which is now covered with houses) will eventually realise an enormous sum. Indeed at this moment, if the necessity were to arise for changing the present policy of selling without the condition of immediate building, and of thus abandoning to speculators the profit that will otherwise be reaped by the community, there would be little difficulty of obtaining from sales within a few weeks an aggregate sum equal to several times the amount of the annual Revenue of the Colony.

But besides the land, the Colony has a most valuable asset in its two magnificent systems of water works, which unlike similar works elsewhere have been entirely paid for out of income. These could readily be sold for more than their cost viz.: a quarter of a million Sterling, while the rent-charges on land already sold, would, if capitalised, produce about half a million more. When it is further considered that there is an entire absence of import-duty in connection with the trade of a port, which in respect of the tonnage of its shipping is certainly the 4th, if not the 3rd, in the world, there seems no reason why the credit of the Colony should not be at least as high as that of the Corpo- rations and Companies which borrow at 3; and it is with a view to assist towards that end that the Governor has made this special reference to the subject.

There would, however, be a difficulty about obtaining on the most favourable terms a loan which would be repaid in four or five years, short periods not being at all in favour with investors. Some of the funds might indeed be re-invested, as they were recouped, in a road and tramway round the island at the edge of the water-a work which ought in any case to be commenced at no distant date-but even in that case, the expenditure would with equal quickness be returned from the development which would thereby be hastened of the resources of the island.

For this reason it would probably be advantageous that an arrangement should be made by which the bonds for any Loan that may prove to be required should not be issued to the public, unless the necessity for doing so actually arose, but should be deposited as security for temporary advances. By such a plan, if permitted by Her Majesty's Government, it appears to the Governor that the funds might be obtained at the Bank rate of interest; and it would have this further advantage to set against the possibility of a temporary rise of the Bank rate that it would obviate the necessity of borrowing more than was actually required at the moment. There may, as stated above, be no necessity to borrow at all, as the effective expenditure of the large surplus depends on uncertain conditions, and may not for various reasons prove practicable. In any case, the amount required on Loan cannot be estimated at the present moment.

On the supposition that the highly remunerative works referred to above will be carried out by means of a Loan, it would have been quite possible to provide from the balance of ordinary Revenue and Land-premiums for the commencement, and for a con- siderable part of the construction, of another important work which must probably be very soon undertaken, viz., a New Gaol of sufficient size for the confinement of all the convicts on the separate system. This work will be a very costly one, the estimate for it being $420,000, or deducting $50,000, the sum likely to be realised from such portion of the present site as can be sold, $370,000. It is, however, one which is absolutely required if the present system is to be maintained under which there are always in con- finement and supported at the cost of the Colony, some three or four hundred aliens who have come here to practice their misdeeds from the neighbouring Empire. The Governor, indeed, believes that under the very exceptional conditions which present themselves here, there would be very fully justified a change substituting short and sharp punishments, followed by banishment, for long periods of imprisonment; in which case the number of prisoners would be so much reduced as to admit of the exclusive

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH OCTOBER, 1888. 981

use of the Separate System in the present Gaol. But if, as is probable in the existing state of public opinion in England, Her Majesty's Government should be unable to sanction such a change, the provision of a new and much larger Gaol, would probably be an inevitable necessity. During the coming year the Governor intends to make strong representations on this subject; and meanwhile more time will be given to watch the effect of the severer discipline recently enforced, which has already much reduced the number of prisoners. And under any circumstances the building could not be under- taken at once without postponing a considerable number of the other proposed Works. For the Governor is advised that there will be much difficulty in obtaining the requisite number of sufficiently skilled native artisans even for the works on the list, and that it would on this account be impossible to provide for them and the new Gaol in addition. It has been mentioned above that the balance of Ordinary Revenue cannot be es- timated with exactness owing to uncertainty as to the issue of certain recommendations which the Governor is about to make to the Secretary of State. The great rise which has taken place in recent years in the cost of living, especially in the matter of rent, demands in the Governor's opinion some consideration for the Government Officers. Those who have been appointed recently, even though as compared with their prede- cessors they may be required to do more work for emolument which is practically less, have comparatively little cause for complaint. There is however real hardship in the case of those appointed before the rise in question took place, especially those with small salaries. Some special relief also seems to be required in the case of officers appointed from England in consequence of the great fall in exchange. For their ability to make provision for the future of themselves and their families has been thereby largely decreased; and it seems right that as regards some proportion of their salaries, the difference between the rate of exchange at the time of the receipt of salary and that which prevailed at the date of their appointment should be made up to them. If this subject should be discussed in Finance Committee the Governor does not doubt that the Secretary of State would give due weight to the views expressed.

Another of the recommendations referred to is, with respect to the cost of the Gap Rock Light-house. It had been originally intended that this charge should be met by a special tax on the shipping of 1 cent per ton; and as the decision of the Government on this point was with the unanimous support of the un-official members of Council, communicated to the Secretary of State and approved by him, the probable return of such a tax, viz., $45,000 appears in the estimates of Revenue. But since the above decision was arrived at early in the year. the financial prospect has much improved; and as it is a fact clearly recognised by competent opinion, that taxes on trade affect it injuriously to an extent which is by no means measured by the amount of Revenue produced, it appears to the Governor specially desirable to render such an impost as light as practicable in a Colony to which its Commerce is of such paramount importance. For this reason the Governor will recommend to the Secretary of State that the special vote for this Light-house shall be a cent instead of 11?2 cent per ton. By this means the burthen will be distributed over a longer period; and it is probable that in the course of a year or two the condition of the Revenue may warrant the complete relief from it which at the present moment would be imprudent. Should this proposal be approved by the Council and receive the sanction of the Secretary of State, a sum of $30,000 will require to be deducted from the total estimate of Revenue; the balance of Revenue over expenditure being also reduced by a like amount.

As regards other remissions of taxation, the abolition of the licence for cargo- boatmen scarcely needs explanation. As the number of licences was unlimited, no advantage was obtained from the tax, and such an impost on mere unskilled labourers could therefore receive a slight justification only from the fact that the licence was useful for Police purposes.

　　　　　　　But as identification was impossible without photographs, to obtain which in the cases of some 4,000 people has been found impracticable, all reason for the tax completely fails.

The other and more important remission, for which allowance is made in the Estimates, consists of a reduction of one-and-a-half per cent. in the assessed rates--a remission which is over eleven-and-a-half per cent. of the whole of the rates paid in the town of Victoria and of course forms a much larger proportion of the lower rates paid in the country districts. The Governor had hoped to be able to propose a still larger reduction of this tax; but owing to an uncertainty which will probably come to an end in the course of a few months, and which he will then be able to explain, he is unable to do so at present lest he should thereby repeat the mistake of some years ago by taking a step which may shortly have to be retraced. The reduction actually proposed however is a substantial relief, and it is hoped that it may prove practicable to make a further reduction at no very distant date.

982

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH OCTOBER, 1888.

Another point requires notice. The present favourable condition of the finances appears to afford a fitting opportunity for drawing attention to the Imperial Institute- an object which in the Governor's opinion is well deserving of a contribution from this Colony. As Hongkong is almost entirely dependent on Commerce, and has little or no manufacturing or agricultural industry which would derive benefit from a more ex- tended knowledge of its products in England, the objection to taking part in a mere Exhibition is intelligible, and not without force. But the addition to the original project of a plan for a Commercial Museum seems in itself not only to justify, but to render most desirable, some substantial support to the Institution on the part of this Colony. The Governor understands that the excellent Museums of this kind which have been established in Germany have been a very appreciable factor in the remarkable commer- cial progress which has been made by that country in recent years; and it seems evident that a collection which is kept continually supplied with samples of the goods actually required by, or likely to prove attractive to, the peoples of all countries, cannot but be of great advantage to a community which, relatively to its numbers, possesses a commerce not only not equalled but probably not approached in magnitude by any other in the world. The Governor is therefore of opinion that without appealing to British senti- ment or to Imperial sentiment or indeed to any sentiment at all, the taking of some share in the Institute by this Colony may be advocated on purely "business" grounds; and apart from this consideration he believes that it would hereafter become for various reasons a subject of regret if Hongkong should persist in standing aloof from a Great Institution which has been deemed worthy of the support of all the rest of the Empire.

Though holding these views, the Governor does not feel that he would be justified in giving to them practical effect by placing a vote for the purpose on the Estimates without the unanimous, or almost unanimous, approval of the Legislative Council; and he refers to the subject here in order that it may receive consideration in Finance Committee.

In conclusion the Governor indulges the hope that whether his opinions as above expressed meet with the concurrence of the Council or not, the Members will at least agree with him that the financial condition and prospects of the Colony, as revealed by the above survey, may be regarded as a subject of very justifiable congratulation.

The Governor has in this message confined himself entirely to questions of finance. He

proposes, in another to pass briefly in review the principal events of the year about to close, and also as regards the coming year to mention the various subjects which demand attention, giving at the same time some general indications of the measures which he hopes to be able to submit to the consideration of the Council.

No. 23 OF 1888.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice and consent of the Legis- lative Council thereof, to authorize in certain cases judicial investigations into the causes of fire.

LS G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

[27th October, 1888.]

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

1. Whenever a fire shall have taken place, or shall have been attempted, the Captain Superintendent of Police shall as soon as possible take possession of the premises where the fire is supposed to have originated or have been attempted, to the exclusion, if he shall deem it necessary, of the owners and all others; and shall make or cause to be made, personally, or by some officer of not lower grade than an Inspector of Police, a full and minute inspection of the said premises, and shall forthwith make a written report in detail to a Magistrate of the state of the said premises and of the contents, if any, thereof, furnishing also all such information touching the origin and circum- stances of the fire as he may be able to obtain.

2. Upon the receipt of such Report the Magistrate, unless upon a consideration of the facts stated therein he is clearly of opinion that the fire was caused by accident, shall pro- ceed to investigate the causes of the fire and shall, within the shortest possible delay, take the depositions upon oath of all persons likely to know the facts and circumstances, and of all other persons who in his opinion may furnish information in respect thereof.

3. It shall be lawful for any Inspector of Police, or for any interested person present at such investigation, with the leave of the Magistrate, to examine the witnesses, and to cause such persons to be examined as may give due and proper information touching such case of fire.

4. If in the opinion of the Magistrate the investiga- tion does not disclose any offence or, although it disclose an offence, does not show any reasonable cause for giving the order in the next Section mentioned, the Magistrate shall dismiss the information, and order the release of the pre- mises.

Provided that such dismissal shall be no bar to a subse- quent information of a like nature, or to an information against any person or persons for an offence against the law.

5. If in the opinion of the Magistrate the fire shall have been the result of a crime, and there is reasonable cause to suspect, and he shall suspect any person or persons of such crime, he shall order a prosecution to be instituted before another Magistrate against such person or persons for such crime.

6. The evidence taken on an enquiry by the Magistrate under the provisions of Section 2 of this Ordinance shall not in any way be used against the person or persons against whom any subsequent criminal proceedings may be taken.

7. No Magistrate who has made a judicial investigation and given an order in any matter under Section 5 of this Ordinance shall conduct the preliminary inquiry upon any such charge of crime, but the same shall be conducted by another Magistrate.

8. For the purposes of this Ordinance, and in relation to all investigations held thereunder, and for the summoning of witnesses and for all proceedings in connection with such investigations, the Magistrate shall have all the powers possessed by a Magistrate in relation to the holding of preliminary enquiries in cases of indictable offences, and the Captain Superintendent of Police shall render to him

proper and necessary assistance.

The following finding of a Marine Court of Enquiry is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th October, 1888.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Ghazee, Official No. 87,678, of which ARCHIBALD SCOTLAND, the number of whose Certificate as Master is 34,123, left Singapore on September 23rd, on a voyage to Hongkong with a full cargo of Sugar.

　　　　　That nothing of importance occurred until the 28th; at Noon on which day the ship was in Latitude 17° 31′ N., and Longitude 111° 1' E. On that afternoon, a strong and increasing wind from W.N.W. and a falling Barometer with other symptom indicated a Typhoon approaching from the Northward, and at 8 P.M. the engines were slowed down.

　　　　　That at 4 A.M. on 29th, the Engine Room skylight was stove in and the water finding its way below put out the starboard fires and caused the ship to take a heavy list to starboard.

That at 9 A.M. on 29th, the wind was blowing with hurricane force with a heavy confused sea, and at this time, HENRY WILKINS, A.B. whilst employed with the 1st Mate and another seaman in securing the davit of the starboard life boat was washed overboard.

That every effort possible under the circumstances was made on his behalf, but he was only seen once though a good look out was kept-and the conclusion is that being incumbered with oilskins and sea boots, he sank in a few seconds.

Owing to want of sufficient data in the Mate's log, the Court are unable to give a decided opinion on the advisability of the Master's taking steps to avoid the centre of the Typhoon, but in considering the circumstances after the occurrence, we are inclined to the belief that he might have avoided the full force of the Typhoon by running to the S.E. on the 28th but it is possible that he was prevented doing this on account of the position of the ship with reference to the Paracel Group.

We are therefore of opinion that no blame attaches to the Master or officers or crew, who did all in their power to save their comrade.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 24th day of October, 1888.

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 Mandariu 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 phikolo- 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.

PORT ADELAIDE RIVER.

Notice is hereby given, that the deepening operations have been so far completed that a depth of not less than 20 feet, at ordinary low water, or 28 feet at ordinary high water, spring tides, will now be found in the channel of the Port Adelaide River, from the anchorage to the wharves.

The first cutting, through what is known as the Outer Bar, is 250 feet wide, and 22 feet deep at low water.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　To keep in the centre of this cutting, No. 12 Beacon and the Leading Light Beacon should be kept in line, until about one and a half cables past the Reflecting Beacon.

The next cutting commences about mid-way between Nos. 11 and 10 Light Beacons, and continues 250 feet wide and 20 feet deep, at low water, until abreast of No. 8 Light Beacon (Schnapper Point). It then gradually widens to 450 feet abreast of the No. 7 Light Beacon, decreases to 250 feet abreast of No. 6 Light Beacon, and continues the same width and depth to the north end of the Coalshed Creek Wharf, with the exception of immediately opposite Nos. 3 and 2 Light Beacons, where the channel is 300 feet wide.

　　　　　　Opposite the Government Coalshed Creek Wharf the channel has been widened to 550 feet, with not less than 21 feet at low water. Alongside this wharf, for a distance of 1,650 feet by 100 feet wide, a depth of 24 feet at low water has been provided.

From the Coalshed Wharf to the Jervois Bridge the channel varies in width from 300 feet to 450 feet, with a depth of 20 and 21 feet at low water.

The widths mentioned refer to the deep water channel, the River itself being, of course, much wider.

The mid-channel course, between Nos. 2 and 3 Light Beacons, may be obtained by keeping in line two Black Leading Beacons, with V-shaped heads, on Torrens Island.

　　　　　　The channel throughout is marked by Red Buoys and Light Beacons on the starboard hand, and Black Buoys on the port hand coming in, except where Leading Beacons are provided.

[84.] On the day appointed for the hearing of any petition for the release of the ship, or for the appearance of the owners or their agents in the Colony in obedience to a citation to show cause why the same should not be forfeited, the Court shall proceed to enquire into the matter and to make such orders as may be necessary to put the matter of the seizure and detention of the ship in course of trial between the owner and the Crown.

[85.] The Court may, if it shall think fit, direct a written statement or answer or any additional pleading to be filed, and may, in its discretion, receive evidence orally or by affidavit, or partly orally and partly by affidavit, and may determine all questions of fact as well as of law, or may, of its own motion, or on the application of either party, direct a jury to be empanelled for the determination of any question of fact, may frame issues of law and of fact, and generally may exercise the same powers and authorities as on the trial of any suit, cause, or matter within its ordinary jurisdiction.

[88.] The fact of a ship being apparently fitted and equipped, or in course of being fitted and equipped within the waters of the Colony for the conveyance of Chinese emigrants shall, if the owner, agent or master shall not have obtained a licence from the Governor as required by section [74], or under section 6 of this Ordinance, be prima facie evidence that such ship is intended for the conveyance of Chinese emigrants to be embarked at some port or place out of the Colony.

[89.] If on the hearing of the said proceedings for the forfeiture or release of a ship seized under section [80], it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Court that the offence charged has not been committed in respect of such ship against the provisions of section [74] rendering such ship liable to forfeiture, the ship shall be released and restored to the owners thereof or their agents.

[90.] If on the hearing of the proceedings, it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Court that the offence charged has been committed in respect of such ship rendering the same liable to forfeiture under section [80], the Court shall declare such ship to be forfeited to the Crown.

[91.] It shall be lawful for the Court to impose such a pecuniary penalty as to the Court shall seem fit, in lieu of condemning the ship, and in such case to cause the ship to be detained until the penalty is paid, and to cause any penalty so imposed to be applied in the same manner in which the proceeds of the said ship, if condemned by order of the Court and sold, would have been applicable.

[92.] The costs of all proceedings for the forfeiture or release of a ship, shall be in the discretion of the Court.

[93.] If the Court be of opinion that there was not reasonable and probable cause for the seizure or detention, and if no such cause appear in the course of the proceedings, the Court shall have power to declare that the owner is to be indemnified by the payment of costs and damages in respect of the seizure or detention, the amount thereof to be assessed by the Court, and any amount so assessed shall be payable out of the general revenues of the Colony.

[95.] The Governor may, at any time, release any ship seized and detained under section [80], notwithstanding her forfeiture by the sentence of the Supreme Court, on the owner or agent giving security to the satisfaction of the Governor that the ship shall not be employed contrary to section [74], or may release the ship without such security if the Governor think fit so to release the same.

3. It shall be lawful for the Governor of Hongkong to declare, by proclamation, for the purposes of this Act and of the said regulations, what shall be deemed to be the duration of the voyage of any Chinese passenger ship, and by such proclamation to alter the scales of dietary, medicines, and medical comforts contained in the aforesaid schedule (A). 4. No Chinese passenger ship shall clear out or proceed to sea on any voyage of more than seven days' duration until the master thereof shall have received from an emigration officer copy of the aforesaid regulations, and a certificate in the form contained in schedule B to this Act annexed, or in such other form as may be prescribed by the said Legislature, which copy and certificate, with any documents to be attached thereto (hereinafter designated as emigration papers), shall be signed by the said emigration officer, nor until the master shall, with two sufficient sureties, to be approved by the said emigration officer, have entered into a joint and several bond in the sum of one thousand pounds to Her Majesty, her heirs and successors, in the form contained in schedule C to this Act annexed, or in such other form as shall be drescribed by the said Legisla- ture.

That prior to such statement having been made the Magistrate or other officer of Her Majesty to whom the cognizance of the crime or offence appertained, had read or caused to be read, or, where necessary, had translated, or caused to be translated to the prisoner or accused, the depositions. taken against him.

(2). That prior to such statement having been made the Magistrate, or other officer of Her Majesty to whom the cognizance of the crime or offence ap- pertained, had addressed to the prisoner or acensed these words, or words to the like effect: "Having heard the evidence, do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge? You are not obliged to say anything unless you desire to do so, but what- ever you say will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence against you upon your trial." (3). That prior to such statement having been made the Magistrate, or other officer of Her Majesty to whom the cognizance of the crime or offence ap- pertained, had given the prisoner or accused clearly to understand that he had nothing to hope from any promise of favour, and nothing to fear from any threat which might have been held out to him to induce him to make any admission or confession of his guilt, but that whatever he then said might be given in evidence against him upon his trial notwithstanding such promise or threat. (4). That what the prisoner or accused answered thereto was taken down in writing and read over to him. (5). That the said statement had been kept with, and at the time of the application to receive the same in evidence was in the custody of the Supreme Court in the same manner as the depositions of the witnesses which had been taken in the same

matter.

Provided nevertheless, that nothing herein enacted or con- tained shall prevent the Attorney General, or other person conducting a prosecution in criminal proceedings on behalf of the Crown from giving in evidence any admission or con- fession or other statement of the prisoner or accused, made at any time, which by law would be admissible as evidence against such person.

thereof, as follows:-

of the Council

1. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as The Compensation to Families Ordinance, 1888.

2. Ordinance No. 10 of 1870 is hereby repealed, but such repeal shall not affect the past operation of the said Ordinance or any liability, or thing incurred, done or suffered thereunder. 3. In the interpretation of this Ordinance the word parent shall include father and mother, and grand-father and grand-mother, and step-father and step-mother; and the word child shall include son and daughter, and grand- son and grand-daughter and step-son and step-daughter.

4. Whensoever the death of a person shall be caused by any wrongful act, neglect, or default, and the act, neglect, or default is such as would (if death had not ensued) have entitled the person injured to maintain a suit and recover damages in respect thereof, then and in every such case the person who would have been liable if death had not ensued, shall be liable to a suit for damages notwithstanding the death of the person injured, and although the death shallhave been caused under such circumstances as amo untin law to felony.

5. Every such suit shall be for the benefit of the wife, husband, parent, and child of the person whose death shall have been so caused, and shall except as hereinafter provided be brought by and in the name of the executor or administrator of the person deceased; and in every such suit the jury, or where the suit is tried without a jury the Court, may give such damages as they or it may think proportioned to the injury resulting from such death, to the parties respectively for whom and for whose benefit such suits shall be brought; and the amount so recovered, after deducting the costs not recovered from the defendant, shall be divided amongst the beforementioned parties in such shares as the jury by their verdict shall find, or the Court, if the case be tried without a jury, shall direct.

6. If and so often as it shall happen at any time or times hereafter in any of the cases intended and provided for by this Ordinance that there shall be no executor or adminis- trator of the person killed within the meaning of this Ordi- nance or that there being such executor or administrator no such suit as aforesaid, shall within six months after the death of the person so killed as aforesaid have been brought by and in the name of his or her executor or administrator, then and in every such case such suit may be brought by and in the fame or names of all or any of the persons (if more than one) for whose benefit such suit would have been, if it had been brought by and in the name of such executor or administrator; and every such suit so to be brought shall be for the benefit of the same person or persons and shall be subject to the same regulations and procedure as nearly as may be as if it were brought by and in the name of such executor or administrator.

Position, lat. 30° 16′ 30′′ N., long. 122° 24′ 20′′ E.

(3) Bank North-Eastward of Gan-su Island.

A bank (Singleton bank) composed of hard black sand, extends about 9 cables north-eastward of the northern coast of Gan-su island; its north-east extreme, with a depth of 21 fect, lies with Gan-su island summit bearing S. 57° W., distant one mile.

(4) Sunken Rocks in Tae-shan Channel.

　　　The islets eastward of Gan-su island should not be approached nearer than 3 cables, as there are two rocks, each with a depth of 12 feet, lying off the eastern point of the easternmost islet.

　　　A rock (Mitchell rock) with a depth of 4 feet, lies 1 cables off Chang tu point, the north-west point of Chang tau island. The sea does not break on this rock, and there is nothing to indicate its position.

Position approximate, lat. 30° 15′ 45′′ N., long. 122° 15′ 40′′ E.

NOTE. To clear Mitchell rock, when entering Tac-shan channel from the north-eastward, Wasps islet should be kept open of the islet northward of Chang tau island, until Cliffs islet is just open of the western extreme of Chang tau island.

　　　A rock (Baylis rock) with a depth of 4 feet, lies 1 cables off the south-west point of Chang tau island. The sea does not break on this rock and its position is only occasionally indicated by slight ripples. From it, the rock (Entrance rock) at the entrance to Chang tau harbour bears S. 48° E., distant 54 cables.

Position, lat. 30° 13′ 50′′ N., long. 122° 15′ 10′′ E,

　　　NOTE. The east extreme of the easternmost islet eastward of Gan-su: island open of the western extreme of Chang tau island leads westward of Baylis rock.

(5) Sunken Rock Eastward of Castle Rock.

　　　A pinnacle rock (Primmer rock) with a depth of 5 feet, lies with Castle rock bearing N. 81° W., distant 1.2 miles. The sea does not break on this rock, but there is generally a ripple near it.

Position, lat. 30° 21′ 0′′ N., long. 122° 12′ 0′′ E.

　　　NOTE. The small islet (marked not examined on charts) open north of Castle rock leads northward of Primmer rock; and the small islet off the north-east cape of Tae-shan island in line with Keu-shan island summit leads eastward of it.

The depths given are at low water spring tides.

RED SEA-EASTERN SHORE.

KAMARAN BAY-REEF OFF SOUTHERN ENTRANCE.

1099

Information has been received through the Board of Trade, that on 1st August 1888, the British steam vessel Bussorah, when entering Kamaran bay by the South channel, struck on the southern side of the entrance:-

The bearings given for the position of the vessel when aground in 3 fathoms water, are as follows:-

Northern extreme of Ras el Bayadh ........... Southern extreme of Ras el Bayadh ....

South-west extreme of Kamaran Island

.N. 61° E.

S. 820 W. .N. 4740 W.

　　　　As the Southern entrance to Kamaran bay has previously been reported to be narrower than shown on the plan, it appears probable that the shore reef outside Ras el Bayadh is wider than given on the chart, and Mariners should use caution in entering.

NOTE. In the caution printed on chart, No. 14, the word "not is omitted from the second paragraph, which should run as follows:-When there is any wind the reefs are not easily seen.

LIAU RIVER-GREAT CHANGES REPORTED.

The United States Government has given Notice on the authority of Lieutenant Commander J. E. Craig, U.S.S. Palos-that Admiralty chart, Liau river, No. 2894, is not now reliable from the light-vessel off the bar to Newchwang, a distance of about 17 miles :-

　　　　　The channel of the river shifts, and the present positions of the beacons do not correspond in direction, one froin another, as shown on the chart. Shoals have formed off some of the points of the river banks. Fishing stakes at intervals, sur- mounted by balls, may be mistaken for beacons, and the local pilots place in position coloured buoys, which not being shown on the chart, are misleading.

From the changes above reported, the chart can only be considered as a rough guide, this, with the strong tides in the river, make it advisable to take a pilot.

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.

An Ordinance to Amend the Powers of Police Magistrates.

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

1. From and after the passing of this Ordinance it shall be lawful for a Magistrate, in any case in which he has power by law to impose a pecuniary penalty, in his discretion to direct that such penalty shall be recovered in the manner provided for the recovery of penalties by Section 1 of Ordi- nance 10 of 1844.

2. In case of default in payment of a penalty imposed under any Ordinance in which no term of imprisonment is authorized in case of such default, the Magistrate may order that the person making such default be imprisoned with or without hard labour for any term not exceeding six months. 3. Where an offender is fined a sum not exceeding two dollars, and the same is not paid forthwith, the Magistrate inflicting such fine may order the offender to be searched, and if the offender on being searched is found to have upon his person any sum of money equalling or exceeding the amount of his fine, it shall be lawful for the Magis- trate upon oath made to him of the fact by any person who was present when the offender was searched to order that so much of the said sum of money as may be sufficient to satisfy the said fine be forfeited by the offender, and that the offender be thereupon discharged from custody.

4. From and after the passing of this Ordinance all the powers conferred upon two Magistrates sitting together by Section 10 of Ordinance 2 of 1875 and Section 13 of Ordi- nance 16 of 1875 or either of them may be used and exer- cised by one Magistrate sitting alone.

Section 10 of Ordinance 2 of 1875 is hereby amended by striking out the words "The accused shall apply for a trial by jury or."

5. Section 20 of Ordinance 16 of 1875 is hereby amended by substituting for the words "any term not exceeding 3 months the words " any term not exceeding 6 months.'

6. Whenever any person is arrested by the Police for hawking without a licence or for any offence against Part III. of The Cattle Diseases, Slaughter-Houses, and Markets Ordinance, 1887, or any Bye-laws made, or to be made, thereunder, or for causing any obstruction by hawking in a public thoroughfare, the Police shall be empowered and they are hereby required to convey or cause to be conveyed all the articles being hawked, and sold by the offender before a Magistrate who shall thereupon have power upon convic- tion of the offender to order the forfeiture of the said articles or any of them in addition to any other penalty which he may by law impose.
