The Exhibition, to be opened in January, 1891, will be managed by a Commission, His Excellency the Governor being at the head. This Commission has already been constituted by a Colonial Law.
A Committee has been formed in London, representing Jamaica interests in the United Kingdom, to co-operate with the organizing body in Jamaica. The Committee, as at present constituted, is given above, the consent of Lord Knutsford to act as Honorary President being especially gratifying to all connected with the Colony. That the scheme has taken practical shape is proved by the fact that in the Colony alone over ￡16,000 has already been guaranteed, out of a total of ￡20,000 required.
The Exhibition will comprise specimens of all Jamaica products: Sugar of all qualities and its allied industry of Rum manufacture; Liqueurs, Cordials, &c.; Coffee; Oranges, Pine Apples and Fruits of all kinds; Pimento, Cacao, Annatto; Woods in all degrees of preparation for use; Spices, Con- diments, &c.; Fibres and Fibrous Materials; Cinchona Bark, Oils, Essential Oils, Perfumes, &c.; Medicinal and Economic substances; Works of Art, Pictures, Fancy Articles and Ornamental Work; Horses, Cattle and Live Stock of all kinds. The Botany and Geology of the Island will also be fully illustrated.
There will also be exhibited specimens of goods imported into Jamaica from all countries.
It is hoped that all parts of the Empire will add to the interest and completeness of this exposi- tion by sending specimens and ornamental trophies illustrative of their productions.
The attention of Merchants and Manufacturers in the United Kingdom is especially invited. English goods find a ready market in a Colony of nearly 650,000 people. It is also desired to show the advance of science in manufacturing tropical products. The Engineering Firms and Manufacturers of Machinery are requested to give their aid by exhibiting plans, drawings, models and specimens, so far as convenient, of actual machinery connected with such manufactures.
Shipowners are earnestly requested to co-operate by offering to take out specimens free of freight; and all who are interested in the commerce and productive prosperity of Jamaica are desired to give their help to an undertaking which must be beneficial to the Colony and all concerned in its fortunes.
As the Exhibition will be made as attractive as possible, the question of hotel accommodation for visitors from all parts of the British Empire, from the Continent of Europe, and the United States and South America, will be considered, and details published in good time.
Communications and applications for forms and regulations to be addressed as early as possible to the Chairman, 1, Fen Court, London, E.C.

188 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND FEBRUARY, 1890.
No. 10.
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 28th January, 1890.
SIR, I have the honour to forward, under this enclosure, the usual tabulated summary of the amounts earned, during the year 1889, by the various Grant-in-Aid Schools of the Colony under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme of 1883, and I beg to recommend that, if the reduction which I find necessary is approved by His Excellency the Governor, and if the accounts I enclose are found correct by the Audit Office, a warrant be issued for the payinent, through the Colonial Treasury, of the Grants payable, as hereunder recommended, and amounting in the aggregate (after a reduction of 5.3 per cent.) to $18,737.12.
2. The sum nominally earned by the 69 Schools examined under the conditions of the Grant-in- Aid Scheme at the close of the year 1889, amounts to a total of $19,785.12. But, as the sum voted for Grants-in-Aid and included in the Estimates for 1890 amounts only to $19,000 and has already been drawn up to the amount of $258.25, the balance actually available for Grants-in-Aid amounts to $18,741.75, so that the Grants-in-Aid nominally earned by those schools in 1889 exceed the balance in hand by $1,043.97.
3. I beg to recommend, therefore, that the amounts nominally earned by the Grant-in-Aid Schools in 1889 be subjected to a pro rata reduction of 5.3 per cent., amounting to $1,048.60, which will reduce the amount payable to these Schools to $18,737.12 and thus bring the expenditure within the limits of the amount provided by, and available under, the Estimates for 1890, leaving in hand a balance of $4.63.
4. For this recommendation there are several precedents on record. From C.S.O 439 of 1883, it will be seen that in the year 1883 the Grants, nominally earned by these Schools in 1882, were subjected to a reduction of 14·33 per cent., and C.S.O. 291 of 1888 will show that the Grants-in-Aid nominally earned in 1887 were subjected to a reduction of 1 per cent.
5. The reason for this procedure is that, in Despatch No. 211, of 30th September, 1882, the Secretary of State, Lord KIMBERLEY, laid down the rule, "that the sum of money voted each year for Grants-in-Aid ought not under any circumstances to be exceeded," and the justice of the proposed re- duction will appear from the fact that the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, under which these Grants have been earned, makes distinct provision for a possible reduction of Grants nominally earned, by laying down the Rule (No. 6), that "the Government will be guided......by the amount of money at its disposal for educational purposes." At examination time I informed each Manager that a reduction would no doubt be necessary this year.
6. The increase in the above expenditure required for Grants-in-Aid is to be accounted for in the first instance by the increase which has happily taken place in 1889 in the number of Schools and scholars placed under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, and secondly in a healthful increase of the cultivation. of the higher subjects of an English education, manifested by a larger number of scholars taking up the subjects for which special Grants are paid, viz., Algebra, Euclid, Physical Geography, Animal Physiology and Book-keeping. Details concerning the progress which has thus been made, and which has caused the increase in the expenditure incurred under the head of Grants-in-Aid, will be submitted in the usual Annual Report on Education, which is now in course of preparation.
7. I now beg to recommend that the enclosed accounts be audited, as usual, by the Audit Office and that, when the accounts are approved or revised, a warrant be issued for the sum of $18,737.12, to be disbursed by the Colonial Treasury.
8. It has been customary, since 1884, for the Inspector of Schools to supply the Colonial Trea- surer with a detailed list of the payees and amounts due under the Grants-in-Aid account when approved by the Audit Office, and to supply the Managers, Teachers and Assistant-teachers, of the Grant-in-Aid Schools concerned, with warrants for the respective payments due in each case, which warrants are then paid on presentation at the Treasury, and retained there as vouchers of the payments made This mode of payment has all along worked satisfactorily, and I propose to follow the same plan in the present case.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Hon. F. FLEMING, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
E. J. EITEL, Ph. D., Inspector of Schools.

[EREAS by the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted that, where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Acts shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subse- quent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the oper- ation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient; and that if, by any law made after the passing of the Act of 1870 by the Legislature of any British possession, provision is made for carrying into effect within such possession the surrender of fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in such British possession, Her Majesty may, by the Order in Council applying the said Acts in the case of any foreign State, or by any subsequent Order, suspend the operation within any such British possession of the said Acts, or of any part thereof so far as it relates to such foreign State, and so long as such Law continues in force there and no longer: And whereas by an Act of the Parliament of Canada passed in 1886, and entitled "An Act respecting the Extradition of Fugitive Criminals," provision is made for carrying into effect within the Dominion the surrender of fugitive criminals:
And whereas by an Order of Her Majesty the Queen in Council, dated the seventeenth day of November, 1888, it was directed that the operation of the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, should be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so long as the provisions of the said Act of the Parlia- ment of Canada of 1886 should continue in force and no longer;
And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the twenty-seventh day of October, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, between Her Majesty and the President of the Republic of Colombia, for the mutual extradition of fugitive criminals, which Treaty is in the terms following:-
HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Excellency the President of the Republic of Colombia, having judged it expedient, with a view to the better 'administration of justice, and to the prevention of crime within the two countries and their jurisdic- tions, that persons charged with or convicted of the crimes or offences hereinafter enumerated, and being fugitives from justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered up, have named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Treaty, that is to say:
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, William John Dickson, Esquire, Her Minister Resident to the Republic of Colombia; and

"ARTICLE V.
"The extradition shall not take place if, subsequently to the commission of the crime, or the institution of the penal prosecution or the conviction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punish- ment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applied to.
"ARTICLE VI.
"A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character, or if he prove that the requisition for his surrender has, in fact, been made with a view to try or punish him for an offence of a political character.
"ARTICLE VII.
"A person surrendered can in no case be kept in prison, or be brought to trial, in the State to which the surrender has been made, for any other crime, or on account of any other matters, than those for which the extradition shall have taken place, until he has been restored, or has had an oppor- tunity of returning, to the State by which he has been surrendered.
"This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition.
"ARTICLE VIII.
"The requisition for extradition shall be made through the Diplomatic Agents of the High Con- tracting Parties respectively.
The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by the competent authority of the State requiring the extradition, and by such evidence as, according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there.
"If the requisition relates to, a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by the sentence. of condemnation passed against the convicted person by the competent Court of the State that makes the requisition for extradition.
"A sentence passed in contumaciam is not to be deemed a conviction, but a person so sentenced may be dealt with as an accused person.

"ARTICLE X.
"A fugitive criminal may be apprehended under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority in either country, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the authority issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant if the crime had been committed, or the person convicted, in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which the Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority excercises jurisdiction; provided, however, that in the United Kingdom the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London. He shall, in accordance with this Article, be discharged, as well in Colombia as in the United Kingdom, if, within the term of thirty days a requisition for extradition shall not have been made by the Diplomatic Agent of his country, in accordance with the stipulations of this Treaty.
"The same rule shall apply to the cases of persons accused or convicted of any of the crimes or offences specified in this Treaty, and committed on the high seas on board any vessel of either country which may come into a port of the other.
"ARTICLE XI.
"The extradition shall take place only if the evidence be found sufficient according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the same State, or to prove that the prisoner is the identical person con- victed by the Courts of the State which makes the requisition, and that the crime of which he has been convicted is one in respect of which extradition could, at the time of such conviction, have been granted by the State applied to; and no criminal shall be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days from the date of his committal to prison to await the warrant for his surrender.
"ARTICLE XII.
"In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as valid evidence the sworn depositions or statements of witnesses taken in the other State, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, and certificates of, or judicial documents stating, the fact of a conviction, provided the same are authenticated as follows:-
1. A warrant must purport to be signed by a Judge, Magistrate, or officer of the other State. "2. Depositions or affirmations, or the copies thereof, must purport to be certified under the hand of a Judge, Magistrate, or officer of the other State, to be the original depositions or affirmations, or to be true copies thereof, as the case may require.

"3. A certificate of, or judicial document stat ag, the fact of a conviction must purport to be certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or officer of the other State.
"4. In every case, such warrant, deposition, affirmation, copy, certificate, or judicial document must be authenticated either by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the official seal of the Minister of Justice, or some other Minister of the other State; but any other mode of authentica- tion for the time being permitted by law where the examination is taken may be substituted for the foregoing.
"ARTICLE XIII.
"If the individual claimed by one of the two High Contracting Parties in pursuance of the pre- sent Treaty should be also claimed by one or several other Powers, on account of other crimes or offences committed upon their respective territories, his extradition shall be granted to that State whose demand is earliest in date.
"ARTICLE XIV.
"If sufficient evidence for the extradition be not produced within two months from the date of the apprehension of the fugitive, or within such further time as the State applied to, or the proper Tribunal thereof, shall direct, the fugitive shall be set at liberty.
"ARTICLE XV.
All articles seized which were in the possession of the person to be surrendered at the time of his apprehension shall, if the competent authority of the State applied to for the extradition has ordered the delivery of such articles, be given up when the extradition takes place; and the said delivery shall extend not merely to the stolen articles, but to everything that may serve as a proof of the crime.
"ARTICLE XVI.
"All expenses connected with extradition shall be borne by the demanding State.
"ARTICLE XVII.
"The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty, so far as the laws for the time being in force in such Colonies and foreign possessions respectively will allow.
"The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions shall be made to the Governor or chief authority of such Colony or possession by the chief Consular officer of the Republic of Colombia in such Colony or possession.
"Such requisition may be disposed of, subject always, as nearly as may be, and so far as the law of such Colony or foreign possession will allow, to the provisions of this Treaty, by the said Governor or chief authority, who, however, shall be at liberty either to grant the surrender or to refer the matter to his Government.
"Her Britannic Majesty shall, however, be at liberty to make special arrangements in the British Colonies and foreign possessions for the surrender of Colombian criminals who may take refuge within such Colonies and foreign possessions, on the basis, as nearly as may be, and so far as the law of such Colony or foreign possession will allow, of the provisions of the present Treaty.
66
Requisitions for the surrender of a fugitive criminal emanating from any Colony or foreign possession of Her Britannic Majesty shall be governed by the rules laid down in the preceding Articles of the present Treaty.
"ARTICLE XVIII.
"The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication, in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties by a notice not exceeding one year and not less than six months.
The Treaty, after receiving the approval of the Congress of Colombia, shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Bagota as soon as possible.

Every prisoner removed under the said Act from one British Possession to another British Possession for the purpose of undergoing the residue of a sentence shall in such last-mentioned British Possession be dealt with in the same manner as if he had there been sentenced to such punishment authorized by the law thereof as in the opinion of the Secretary of State signing the Order of Removal shall most nearly correspond to the punishment to which he was sentenced in the first mentioned British Possession, and for the same period.

This Standard Work on theChinese 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.

MORETON BAY.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
ALTERATION OF LEADING LIGHTS, NORTH OR HOWE CHANNEL.
In pursuance of a Notice to Mariners issued from this office on 20th November relative to the proposed alteration in the Lights for the North Channel, at the entrance to Moreton Bay, consequent upon the growth westward of the East Bank, notice is hereby given that on and after the 5th February the position of the Light at Tangaluma will be shifted further to the North-east, and Vessels entering by that Channel will keep the Leading Lights in line, or slightly open to the westward, when passing the East Bank, and as soon as it is passed will be careful not to open them to the westward until they have proceeded a distance of one mile, when they can steer for Cowan Cowan as usual.
It is possible that the position of the Yellow Patch Light may not be shifted on the same day, but the range of the Red Sector will in either case be the same, and the Channel in that respect will be navigated as at present.

But this exemption shall not extend to any ship in the case of which the allowance for propelling-power space exceeds fifty per cent. of the gross tonnage of the ship.
Subject as aforesaid, the tonnage of every ship shall be estimated for all purposes as if any deduction prohibited by this section had not been made, and the particulars relating to the ship's tonnage in the register book, and in her certificate of registry, shall be corrected accordingly.
2. In the case of any ship built or measured after the passing of this Act, such portion of the space or spaces above the crown of the engine room and above the upper deck as is framed in for the machinery or for the admission of light and air, shall not be included in the measurement of the space occupied by the propelling power, except in pursuance of a request in writing to the Board of Trade by the owner of the ship, and shall not be included in pursuance of such request unless :-

5. In the case of a ship constructed with a double bottom for water ballast, if the space between the inner and outer plating thereof is certified by a surveyor appointed by the Board of Trade to be not available for the carriage of cargo, stores, or fuel, then the depth required by section twenty-one, paragraph (2), of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, shall be taken to be the upper side of the inner plating of the double bottom, and that upper side shall, for the purposes of measurement, be deemed to represent the floor timber referred to in that section.
6.

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 ofChina, 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.

By His Excellency FRANCIS FLEMING, Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Officer Administering the Government of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.
Whereas by Section III. of The Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855, it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor of Hongkong by Proclamation for the purposes of the said Act among other things to alter the Scale of Medicines and Medical Comforts contained in Schedule (4) to the said Act annexed.
And whereas by Proclamation under the hand of the Governor for the time being and the Public Seal of the Colony bearing date the 13th day of January, 1876, and published in Notification No. 1, Government Gazette of the 15th January aforesaid, a new Scale of Medicines and Medical Comforts was substituted for the Scale contained in the said Schedule (4), and it is expedient to further alter the said Scale.
Now, therefore, I, FRANCIS FLEMING, the Officer Administering the Government aforesaid, under and by virtue of the powers conferred on me by the said Act, do hereby Proclaim and Declare that the Scale of Medicines and Medical Comforts published in the said Notification be further altered by the addition thereto of the disinfectant known as "Jeyes' Disinfecting Fluid."
Given under my hand and the Public Seal of the Colony, this 22nd day of March, 1890.

6. Every Parent or Guardian of a child resident within the Colony, after the passing of this Ordinance, if such child be six months or more than six months old, and has not been already successfully vaccinated, shall cause such child to be vaccinated by a Medical Practitioner or Public Vaccinator, and such Medical Practitioner or Public Vaccinator shall, upon personal inspection of the successful vaccination of such child, furnish the Parent or Guardian with a certificate of the successful vaccination of such child in the form of Schedule A hereto, and such Parent or Guardian shall, within three days after the date thereof, lodge such Certificate with the Registrar General.

Subject to any existing appointment it shall be lawful for the Governor to appoint some Medical Practitioner or Public Vaccinator whose duty it shall be to examine gratuitously children on whose behalf are claimed certi- ficates of unfitness for successful vaccination under this section and to grant or withhold such certificate in his discretion.
8.

9. 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.
10. There shall be kept at each local vaccination station. or place appointed under the Ordinance hereby repealed or under this Ordinance a register of all persous vaccinated by a Public Vaccinator. The entries in such Register to be called the "The Public Vaccinators' Register" shall be made at the time of vaccination by the Public Vaccinator according to the form and particulars in Schedule D hereto. And the Public Vaccinator at each station shall once in every month cause a return to be made to the Registrar General of all entries in the Public Vaccinators' Register at his station and the Registrar General shall carefully preserve the same.
11.

The following Annual Report of the Acting Postmaster General, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 19th instant, is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 22nd March, 1890.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, February 6th, 1890.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith a Report on the work of this Department during 1889, prepared by Mr. TRAVERS, who was in charge of the Department during that year.
2. Having been absent from the Post Office throughout the whole period under report, I am not in a position to add anything to the facts submitted by Mr. TRAVERS. I would ask permission, however, to urge upon the Government the importance of his representations as to the necessity for a new building. The existing premises were apparently as closely packed as possible when I left for Europe in 1888, but they are even worse now. The bad air which pervades the whole building, and which no doubt arises mainly from the shockingly overcrowded servants' quarters attached, makes service here a severe trial to all except those in the most robust health, whilst the facilities with which the public might reasonably expect to be provided are seriously curtailed from the want of the smallest margin in the way of room. Several important improvements are standing over, as they have been for years, from mere lack of space.
3. The site for the new building should, I think, be that at present occupied, with the sites of the Supreme Court and Land Office. I trust that the mistake will not be made of cutting down the accommodation provided to what will just, and only just, suffice for the service as it is. It would be well worth while to include several suites of extra rooms, and to let them as offices. As, in the course of years, they came to be required, the tenants could be got rid of and the rooms gradually converted to Government purposes.
4. It gives me much pleasure to testify to the ability with which the work of the Department has been carried on by Mr. TRAVERS during my long absence, and to the state of efficiency in which I find it on my return. I know from past experience how heavy a task is imposed on any one who attempts to conduct this Department as the only English officer in it. The mere strain on endurance and physical strength in this exhausting climate is often very severe, and Mr. TRAVERS is to be congratu- lated on having (I fear at some sacrifice of health) conducted the Department alone for eighteen months without occasion for serious complaint of any kind.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable F. FLEMING, C.M.G.
Colonial Secretary, &c.,
&c.,
&c.
A. LISTER,
Postmaster General.
GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 31st January, 1890.
SIR,-I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during the year 1889.
2. The date on which this Report has to be sent in makes it impossible to detail the Revenue of the Department for 1889, which will not be definitely ascertained for some months to come.
The Revenue for 1888 was as follows:-
Gross Revenue 1888,
Deficit,
....
..$148,106.89 16,345.81
Share of United Kingdom,
.$46,782.26
Contribution towards P. & O. subsidy*$69,041 09 Share of other Countries,
.$ 5,502.91
Conveyance of Mails,
Working Expenses,
$ 6,718.30 $36,408.14
$164,452.70
$164,452.70
3. Approximate Statistics for the year 1889 are appended. They show a general increase of correspondence.

4. A Steam-Launch has been provided, and by its means the landing and delivery of mails has been accelerated. It has also enabled me to establish a Kowloon delivery which, judging by the growing requirements of that place, appeared to me necessary.
appeared to me necessary. At the same time a Harbour delivery was
introduced.
5. I am glad to see that at last the necessity for a new Post Office has been recognised, but I would venture to suggest that a more suitable site than North Barracks be selected. It appears to me that the Post Office should be somewhere in the vicinity of Pedder's Wharf, which is not only central, but the most convenient spot so far as the general public are concerned. In my last report I remarked very strongly on the question of accommodation, and now that a new building has been, I hope, decided upon, I would urge that the work be put in hand with as little delay as possible. Rough plans of the rooms more essentially necessary, showing their best arrangement and grouping, have been prepared in this Department.
6. In May last the French Government consented to our request to allow Marine Officers to travel on the Messageries Maritimes Packets with a view of sorting the French Mails, and all arrangements to carry out this Service were completed in June, but a difficulty then arose from the fact that the Agents des Postes were without authority to hand the mail over to our Officers before arrival in Hong- kong. The matter was again referred to the French Post Office, but up to the present time no reply has been received, though a settlement of the question in the direction desired may be expected very shortly. The Colony is much indebted to the Vicomte de BEZAURE, French Consul, for the warm interest he has taken in this Scheme and for his constant efforts to bring it to a successful issue.
7. In March last the Postmaster General (Hon. ALFRED LISTER) during his absence on leave worked out the details of a scheme for Local Delivery, and recommended that a certain sum be placed on the Estimates of this year to defray the expenses in connection with it. This was done, and if it is approved by the home Authorities* a long felt want will be supplied. By Local Delivery must be understood the distribution, not only of correspondence originating in the Colony, but also of that which is constantly arriving by Local Steamers from China, Japan, Manila, the Straits, &c. The Colony will receive the following advantages :--
(a) In the town, regular deliveries of Local Correspondence quite independent of either the arrival or departure of Contract Mails. These deliveries will take place every hour
from 8.30 A.M. to 8 P.M.
(b) In the Suburbs there will be three deliveries each day.
(c) All local correspondence will be delivered exactly as addressed.
8. It was suggested to me during the year by several members of this Community that it would be a great convenience to the public if something could be done to notify as early as possible the arrival of steamers, so that mails could be sent for at once. I accordingly placed a notice board in a conspicuous place outside the Office for this purpose, and endeavoured to obtain the earliest notice of the arrival of steamers. This system, however, does not work at all satisfactorily. The launch men of this Department, engaged in other duties, frequently fail to report arrivals, and the consequence is that the mails are kept on board until it is convenient for the Agent or Captain to land them, which is very often hours after arrival. The only way really to meet the difficulty would be by efficient electric communication with Officers stationed at the Eastern and Western entrances to the Harbour.
9. In my Report for 1888 I recommended that the Salaries of our Postal Agents should be raised to such sums in dollars as will fairly represent the amount of ￡100 per annum, the original pay of the larger Agencies, or ￡50 in the case of the smaller Offices. I am glad to see that His Excellency the Governor has, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, decided upon this
increase.
10. Nothing further has been done, so far as I know, with regard to handing over our Agencies in China to the Customs, and it seems only too probable that they will continue in the hands of the Assistants at the Consulates for some time to come. This is much to be regretted, as it perpetuates a crippled and make-shift service which can never, by any diligence or care on the part of the Officers employed, develope into a properly organised Postal System. I am bound to say, however, that, bad as the existing organisation is (and I hope this year will see it a little better) the Agents at the ports have done the best work possible under existing circumstances.
11. Arrangements were made in May last for the exchange of parcels between this Colony and Cochin-China, Camboge, Tongking and Annam.
12. The number of Parcels received and despatched during the year is as follows:--
By P. & O. Packet, By German Packet,

13. By the Christmas Mail from Europe we received 527 parcels, and by the New Year's Mail 576. These are the heaviest mails that have yet come under my notice.
14. Money Orders may now be exchanged with France and Algeria through the medium of the Imperial Post Office.
15. The Peak Delivery has proved, as I expected, a great convenience to the public. The number of letters despatched and received is 3,711 and 288 respectively. I must again record my thanks to the Manager of the High Level Tramway Company for allowing our postmen to travel free.
16. Among the many instances of fraudulent enclosures in newspapers &c., the following may be mentioned:-

Mr. letters.

China posted a newspaper prepaid as a single paper, but containing a dozen silk

These were duly forwarded, letter rate being charged, and I have no doubt the addressees would much rather they had not been sent. Unfortunately the senders could not be discovered.
17. Several Parcels falsely declared were confiscated by the Customs Authorities.
18. The late Compradore CHING TSUN, after 23 years service, retired on pension. I cannot speak too highly of his services.
19. In conclusion I have to express my thanks to all the Officers employed in this Department for the very efficient manner in which they have performed their duties.
I have the honour to be,
The Honourable A. LISTER,
Postmaster General,

(1163) HOKUSHIU-WEST COAST--ANCHORAGE AT SOUTH COAST OF OKUSIRI ISLAND.
The following information has been received from Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
Captain GOSHE, the Commander of the same Kaisha's steamer Sakata Maru has found an anchorage at South Coast of Okusiri island, between Imako-no-hana and Awonai-no-saki; it affords complete shelter from S. W. round by W. to N.E. Off Imako-no-hana, a few rocks from 4 to 6 feet above water extend about 1 cable off shore. Also from Awonai-no-saki, a reef of rocks partly awash and partly under water extends about 3 miles in a south-easterly direction, and acts as a break- water against any southerly sea.
The soundings are 14 fathoms at of a mile from the shore decreasing gradually to 9 fathoms at mile from the shore, which is the best anchorage about midway between Awonai-no-hana and Imako-no-hana, the former bearing S.W. by W. W. here the ground is hard sand, but holds well.
This anchorage may be easily recognized by the high land of Okusiri ending at Imako-no-hana, thence a long low sloping point extends to Awonai-no-saki.
(The bearings are magnetic. Variation 6° westerly in 1882).

The following information has been received from the Nippon Yusen Kaisha that, at 6.50 A.?. on the 22nd ultimo, the same Kaisha's steamer Saikio Maru when passing the Channel south of Conqueror's Bank, between Harima sea and Bungo sea, grounded on a shoal E. N. 17 miles from south extreme of Takami shima, the vicinity of a point where the British Admiralty Chart No. 128 shows 33 fathoms as the least water, and it appeared to be a small patch of sand with least water of 14 feet on it at L.W.S. with 3 fathoms close to all around.
Note: Mariners should therefore navigate with caution.

The light is 14 feet high constructed of wood square in shape and painted white.
Position: Lat. 32° 37′ 39′′ N.

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 25th March, 1890.
Sir, I have the honour to report that the following special precautions have been taken for the prevention of Fires during the night of the Illuminations.
1. Notices will be posted, and a house to house distribution of them made, calling upon all occupiers of houses and others to be careful to have in immediate readiness buckets of water on the different floors of their houses.
2. The Steam Fire Launch will be on duty in Victoria Harbour throughout the night, and for the purpose of ready recognition will be illuminated with red lanterns.
3. On shore the general Fire Brigade arrangements will remain unchanged. That is to say the Engines will be stationed in their usual place in the Fire Brigade Station, the Fire bell will sound as usual on the alarm of Fire, and the Firemen not on Police duty will rendezvous as heretofore at the Fire Brigade Station.
4. During the night of the Illuminations, the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, with the view of facilitating the movements of the Fire Brigade, will make arrangements whereby those of the European Policemen on duty in the Central District who are Firemen shall leave their duties in the event of Fire. All off Police duty will be in Fire Brigade uniform.
5. During the day of the illuminations the water supply will be on throughout the City of Victoria.
6. Advantage has been taken of this arrangement to select a certain number of central posts at which men will be stationed on duty and in Fire Brigade uniform each with four hundred feet of hose and a branch pipe ready, if required, to attach the hose to the street fire plug at which they will be stationed. A large red lantern with the word "Fire Hose" in English and Chinese on it will be suspended over each of the spots where the hose is kept.
7. The following are the stations that have been selected :-
1. Queen's Road between City Hall and Hongkong and Shanghai Bank.
2. Clock Tower.
3. Junction of Wyndham Street in the Glenealy Ravine.
4. Junction of Wellington Street and Pottinger Street.
5. Junction of Hollywood Road and Ladder Street (Man Mo Temple).
6. Junction of Queen's Road and Cleverley Street.
7. Junction of Queen's Road and Lower Lascar Road (Man On Insurance Company).
8. Junction of Bonham Strand and Queen's Road.
8. These being the arrangements I have only further to add that the main protection against fire lies with the community itself, and that while the movements of the Fire Brigade must be greatly impeded by the crowds in the streets, much can be done by individuals in houses to prevent such fires from occurring, and especially by having ready to hand buckets of water and appliances for throwing it.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
GEO. HORSPOOL,. pro Superintendent, Fire Brigade.

HYDROGRAPHICAL MEMO: No. 55.
GULF OF TOKIO.
LIGHTSHIPS IN YOKOHAMA HARBOUR.-The Japanese Government has given notice that pending the construction of Breakwaters for the Harbour of Yokohama, two Lightships as specified below, will be moored, to mark the North and East Breakwater-heads, and to guide ships entering or leaving the anchorage through the fairway between them.
The Lightship marking the position of the head of the East Breakwater, which will be about 9 cables long and will run out in a Northerly direction from a spot about 1 cable to the Northeastward of the Nakamura-gawa (creek in the Foreign Settlement), will be moored in 5 fathoms of water at 1 cable to the Eastward of the Head, will be painted Green, with a Green Ball on the mast-head and at night will show a Fixed Green Light at an elevation of 32 feet above the sea.
The Lightship marking the position of the head of the North Breakwater, which will be about 1 mile and 1 cable long, and will run out in a Southeasterly direction from a spot about 2 cables to the Eastward of the East corner of the Kanagawa Fort, will be moored in about 5 fathoms of water at 1 cable to the Eastward of the Head, will be painted Red, with a Red Ball on the mast-head, and at night will show a Fixed Red Light at an elevation of 32 feet above the sea.
Both the Lights will show all round and be visible about 4 nautical miles.
The distance between the Lightships will be about 1 cable.
The Lights will be lighted from the night of the 20th March 1890. After that date, all vessels entering or leaving the anchorage must pass only between the Lightships. When coming in to the anchorage, they should, to clear the Break- water-heads, steer West as nearly as possible for a distance of at least 2 cables after passing the Lightships, and when going out, steer East for at least 2 cables before coming to the Lightships.
Channel for boats will be left unobstructed between the inner end of either Breakwater and the shore.

JAPAN.
(1167) NIPPON NAIKAI (SETO-UCHI)-NAGATO STRAIT-A WRECK BETWEEN
MANAITA BEACON AND OSONE BUOY.
A Sunken vessel lies about half way between Manaita beacon and Osone buoy. One of her masts is shown about six feet above water, and has some bushes lashed thereto as a warning to passing vessels.
The wreck bears from the Mauaita beacon N. 45° W., and from Entrance-head S. 51° W., it lies therefore in midchannel, and is a great danger to vessels passing the strait.
Mariners are therefore cautioned to pass the westward of the wreck.

This Standard Work on theChinese 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 hook, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.
A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

The Acting Colonial Secretary then moved the following:-
That a Special Committee of this Council be appointed for the purpose of framing new Standing Rules and Orders for the regulation of the Council's Proceedings in pursuance of Article XIX. of the Royal Instructions of the 19th of January, 1888.
The Treasurer seconded.
Question-put and motion agreed to.
The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that the following Members form the Special Committee to frame the new Standing Rules and Orders, viz. :-
The Treasurer seconded.
Hon. Attorney General.
Hon. N. G. MITCHELL-INNES. Hon. A. P. MACEWEN,
Hon. Dr. Ho KAI.
Question-put and motion agreed to.
The Acting Colonial Secretary moved the following:-
That the Revenue of the Colony shall be charged in respect of the year 1890, with the equivalent of ￡40,000 or $266,666, including the sum of ￡20,000 or $133,333 voted in the Appropriation Ordinance, No. 34 of 1889, in order to meet the claims of Her Majesty's Government for Military Contribution.
The Surveyor General seconded.
Honourable P. RYRIE addressed the Council.
Question-put and motion agreed to.
The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that the Standing Rules and Orders be suspended. The Treasurer seconded.
Question--put and motion agreed to.
The Honourable P. RYRIE then moved the following resolutions :-
1. That this Council, while recognising the justice and fairness of the demand made upon the Colony for an addition to the Military Contribution, desires to place upon record the fact that the vote authorising the additional payment has been passed by the unanimous voice of the Members, Official and Un-Official, in the belief that the proposed increase in the strength of the troops stationed here is essentially necessary for the safety of the Colony and with the full assurance that the force mentioned in the appendix to the Secretary of State's despatch of the 20th January, 1890, 3,018 men of all ranks, of whom 2,525 are to be Europeans, will be present in the Colony within the year, and will be retained here.
2. It is the unanimous hope of this Council that as the additional moneys voted have been asked for and granted as the Colony's contribution to an increased garrison and princi- pally, if not entirely because of the proposed increase, no demand will be made by the Imperial Government for the payment thereof until the strength of the garrison has actually been raised to the full extent of the figures in the Secretary of State's despatch, and that, if any additional payment is demanded before that point has been reached, it should be proportional to such increase as shall from time to time be made in the force stationed in the Colony.
3.-That in the opinion of this Council the attention of the Secretary of State should be directed to the fact to which no reference is made in Lord KNUTSFORD'S despatch of the 20th January, 1890, that the Military Departments are in the occupation of rather more than 337 acres of land in this Colony, of which 84 acres are in the City of Victoria; that these 84 acres are situate in the very centre of the town and are, at the very lowest, of the value of Three millions of Dollars representing a revenue in the shape of Crown Rents and Taxes of $50,000 a year lost to the Colony, and that this being so it is earnestly hoped that no further demand will be made on the Colony in respect of Barrack Expenditure, referred to in paras. 20, 21 and 22 of the despatch above-mentioned, at all events unless the land in the centre of the town be given up by the Military Authorities, as has been suggested, in exchange for other sites nearer the batteries.
4.-That His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government be requested to forward a copy of these Resolutions to the Secretary of State with a view to their being laid before Her Majesty's Government.
The Honourable A. P. MACEWEN seconded.
The following Members addressed the Council:-Honourable P. RYRIE, Honourable A. P. MACEWEN, and the Treasurer.
His Excellency addressed the Council.
Question-put and resolutions agreed to.

No. 7.

GAOL SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 15th January, 1890.
COLONIAL SECRETARY.
I beg to forward herewith Annual Statistical Return of Victoria Gaol for the year 1889. 2. During eight months of the year I was detached from Gaol duty Major DEMPSTER acting as Superintendent for the time and carrying out the discipline of the Gaol on the same lines as hitherto.
year,
and a
3. There has been a small increase in the average number of Prisoners during the large proportionate increase in the number of Prison Offences, but the latter increase is due entirely to petty offences of which talking and short oakum picking are the principal. The number of violent and serious Prison Offences has continued to steadily decrease.
Subordinate Officers.
4. The conduct of the Subordinate Staff during the year has been very satisfactory. These Officers have generally been zealous and painstaking and judicious in their intercourse with Prisoners. The frequent changes which hitherto occurred in the personnel of the Staff have diminished since the late increase of pay.
Prison Buildings.
5. These remain without change as formerly reported on. I can only repeat what I have fre- quently urged that in my opinion the introduction of the separate system is (especially in this Colony) essential to proper prison discipline. The ordinary Chinese Prisoner better fed, housed and clothed, with far less hard labour to do than an ordinary coolie finds nothing deterrent in our Prisons as long as he lives in association with companions day and night but I believe that under the separate system the Chinese Criminal classes would prefer even the hardships and cruelties of a Chinese prison to the long isolation of this system and that its introduction would be speedily followed by a considerable diminution in the number of Prisoners.
Prisoners and their Discipline.
6. During the year there have been 6,196 Prison Offences to an average of 581, giving a little over 10 offences for each Prisoner. The great proportion of Prison Offences are committed by short sentence Prisoners. Prisoners entitled to earn remission are generally careful to avoid Prison Offences. On the last day of the year of 292 Prisoners sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment or over, 90 have been clear of punishment for more than three months and of these 35 had been clear for upwards of a year.
7. I append as usual Returns showing the number of the most common offences committed by Prisoners, similar Returns for the last three years being shown alongside for the sake of comparison.
Industrial Labour.
8. There has been an increase in the industrial earnings during the year and also an increase in the number of Prisoners taught trades but industrial work is greatly hampered by absolute want of space. The usual Returns are appended.
A. GORDON. Superintendent.

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 ofChina, 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.

TREASURY NOTICE.
The Rating Ordinance, 1888.
The Valuation Lists for Victoria and The Hill District for 1890-91 are open to inspection at the Treasury for twenty-one days commencing from Monday, 5th May. Extracts may be taken.
This Valuation will be in force from July 1st, 1890 to June 30th, 1891.
The last day for appeal to the SUPREME COURT will be May 24th. Besides lodging a formal appeal in the Court, notice stating the grounds of such appeal must also be sent to the Assessor on or before that date.
The Valuation Lists for Kowloon and the Villages will be open to inspection later on, of which due notice will be given.
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 5th to May 24th, 1890.
5th to May 24th, 1890. All Owners or Occupiers
All Owners or Occupiers interested in rateable property should therefore inspect the Rate Book within this period.

BOTANICAL AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 22nd February, 1890.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit the Annual Departmental Report for 1889.
2. The routine work of the department occupies a very great deal of time in supervision and the past year has not shown any diminution of demands in this respect, the character of the raw Chinese recruits, as well as even the older hands, has, as usual, required the expenditure of much time in organisation, and development and maintenance of method and order in their work. The increase in the vote for the Gardens has permitted various improvements to be made in general appearance. Greater neatness in walks and lawns has largely contributed to the general effect. The Gardens have been extensively used by the Chinese especially, but there is some difficulty in inducing a large number of them to observe rules which should regulate the conduct of visitors. The summer storms have been again numerous and every one of them has caused more or less damage from the effects of either wind or excessive moisture in the soil. Many pot plants especially suffer from the drowned condition to which their roots are subjected' during the heavy rains.
.
3. The terrible Rain Storm which began on the 29th of May and continued during the following day perfectly flooded the level and moderately level parts of the Gardens, and even on the portions with steep gradients the rainfall presented the appearance of cascades, the drains and channels being inadequate to carry off the immense volumes of water. Soil in open beds and borders and gravel on walks were swept away to a great extent. A portion of retaining wall 40 feet long by 10 feet high collapsed, and four landslips, besides the catastrophe in Glenealy Ravine, were caused.
The bursting of the culvert in Glenealy Ravine within the New Gardens completely obliterated the lower portions of the grounds which I laid out and planted about seventeen years ago. Soil was washed away, together with trees and shrubs, to a depth of 10 or 12 feet in some parts and landslips on the preci- pitous heights around were large and numerous carrying away portions of the gallery walk and parapets together with vegetation which had grown and hidden the ugliness of the once bare staring faces of the fresh cuttings. The Public Works Department having replaced the soil carried away by the storm waters this department has now in hand ground work which will, I trust, be relaid out and planted in a short time. The excessive force of the downfall of the rain was exhibited after the storm by the appearance of vegetation of different kinds. The leaves of some trees were completely torn off, others had the leaves browned and blackened, while on some with leaves of a softer and more succulent character, but where the plants were somewhat sheltered from the full force of the rain, the leaves after being pounded by the rain hung in a decomposing state before the rains completely ceased. Small and tender seedlings were completely destroyed in many instances.
4. All landslips which occurred within the Gardens were removed, debris collected and carried away, walks repaired, and beds and borders put straight again in sixteen days after the storm, at which time the staff resumed their ordinary work. The mains, through which the Gardens' supply of water was conveyed having been carried away by the storm a great portion of the water needed for the Gardens had to be carried from the nullah until the end of October when connections were made which placed us again in a better position. The total cost of repairs to storm damages within the Gardens, exclusive of the work now going on in Glenealy Ravine, was $618.66. The estimate and vote was $800.
5. Landslips were numerous on the hills throughout the island, but they seem more plentiful on the northern slopes than elsewhere, probably owing to the greater steepness of the hills there. A con- siderable number of trees of all sizes were carried away by these slips. It seems probable that landslips may be partly prevented by the roots of the trees which strike deep into loose soil. In this manner plantations may perhaps be of service in assisting to keep roads clear by preventing landslips. Some of the most unsightly yellow earth exposed by landslips in plantations have been roughly turfed. In the tree nurseries, which, as a rule, are lands alternately used as paddy fields, a very large number of small seedling pine trees were completely destroyed by water or by their being covered with deposits of soil; these losses have greatly diminished the number of trees available for planting during the present season.

NEW BUILDINGS.
6. The new departmental buildings, in place of the present dilapidated structure, for which the money was voted in 1888, have not yet been commenced, but I trust that it may be found convenient for a beginning to be made with them during the current year.
BOTANIC GARDENS.
Plant Houses.
7. The wooden supports of the tables of the north house having been ant-eaten or rotten the tables have all been built up solid with brickwork. The roof has also been renewed and the wooden supports have been replaced with light iron work.
8. Similar work has also been effected in the central Fern-house.
9. The roofs and side sun screens have also to a great extent been replaced with new material which the Superintendent of the Gaol has kindly had made by the prisoners. This is a valuable service rendered by the Gaol Department, a service which it is difficult to get done elsewhere at a reasonable cost.
10. The glass roof of the old plant-house has been removed, in consequence of its decayed con- dition, and replaced with sun screens only.
11. Our minimum temperature in December, January and February is too cold for many plants which are attractively ornamental, but with a suitable glass-house, with the help of a little artificial heat, many interesting plants of this kind might be added to our collections.
12. An additional plant shed 30 feet by 9 feet has been erected in the nursery for the cultivation of sale plants.
13. The glass-house erected in the nursery two years ago has been of the greatest service in affording protection to a large number of plants propagated for sale to the public and for use for filling beds in the Gardens. Another house the same size as this one could be very well utilized now for the growth and protection in inclement weather of maiden-hair ferns and other decorative plants for which there is a considerable steady demand by the public, and which would in all likelihood be increased if the plants could be maintained in a little better condition than the provisional structures now permit. The structures in the nursery need many improvements and additions, but, pending the erection of the new offices, the improved nursery arrangements which may be considerably effected by the work must remain in abeyance.
Walks, Drains, and Channels.
14. The special vote which was liberally granted towards the end of the year enabled me to put the walks throughout the Gardens in a thorough state of good repair by laying down four inches of lime concrete on all the chief walks which, by reason of their gradients, were subject to continual scouring away, during rains, of the decomposed rock with which they were previously made. This condition of the walks will now prevent a great deal of the disorder of walks which has always inevitably prevailed until repairs could be effected after every moderately heavy rain. The total length of walks, varying from five feet to ten feet in width, which were concreted was 3,794 feet in the Botanic Gardens, and 569 feet in Government House grounds.
15. The brick channels on the sides of most of the walks in the Gardens have been put in a good state by repointing and relaying in places, where necessary.
16. A quantity of underground drains have also been attended to by cleaning them out and relaying, and improving sand pits which had been originally faulty in construction, or which had become so in some instances since they were made thirty years ago.
Water Service.
17. I have to thank the Public Works Department for a much improved service of water obtained from the Tytam Water Works and laid on to ten tanks distributed throughout the Old Gardens. To some of these hydrants are placed so that hoses can be fixed for irrigation work. I have also to acknowledge ready and kind assistance from the Fire Brigade Department in the arrangements of fittings for hoses which are now in good working order. What has been accomplished is of great service, but when a suitable opportunity presents itself I trust that the supply will be laid on to various other parts of the Gardens where water is needed but where at present there is none..
Flower Beds and Rockeries.
18. The flower beds have been, as usual, twice filled in most cases, and oftener in a few. The winter plants consist chiefly of annuals, which are planted in November and December and flower from January to April. The Chinese New Year flower, Narcissus Tazetta, is also used for beds and it flowers in January and February, the planting being done at different times in order to preserve a succession of flowers. In the winter months we have now an additional difficulty to contend with which is becoming more pronounced every year, I allude to the great increase of small birds which about the month of December and.January, after the bedding plants have attained moderate dimensions, make continuous onslaughts on them, and unless the beds are netted over the birds denude the plants of all their leaves, consuming them for food. These netted beds have an unsightly appearance, but
over.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MAY, 1890.
365
the objectionable feature must be borne until the period when the birds are most ravenous is tided The Ordinance which specially provides for the preservation of small birds does not allow their destruction even when the birds have become so numerous in places and seasons as to be a nuisance.
19. The increase of birds which has succeeded the passing of the Birds Preservation Ordinance more than twenty years ago is an advantage in some ways and a pleasant change from the cheerless aspect of the Colony at that time when scarcely a bird could be seen, but the increase is not without its disadvantages.
20. After the annuals are over the beds are again filled for the summer season with flowering plants to a small extent, but chiefly with plants with coloured or ornamental foliage.
21. These arrangements demand and receive a great deal of attention. The summer arrange- ments of the past year were the best, probably, that have yet been accomplished.
22. The plants in the recently made rockeries at the north-east entrance have made good progress and the whole now presents a fairly attractive appearance.
Labelling.
23. Constant attention has been given in adding to the number of those labels put down as well as to the replacement of decayed labels or obliterated names. A little more requires to be done in perfecting the system, but, on the whole, this work may now be considered in good order.
Aviaries.
24. These are in good condition, but a few more birds are desirable, these I trust will be added during the course of this year. Birds and animals are a great attraction to visitors, especially to Chinese and children, but as it is not expedient to attempt a collection of animals in these Gardens the few we have will not be increased by the acceptance of further donations. On the other hand, however, I think a little extension of aviaries might be an advantage.
Summer Storms.
25. The very frequent storms and threatening storms during the rain season absorb a good deal of time in preparations to meet them so that possible damages should be prevented as much as can be. The preparations consist chiefly in removing plants in pots, from exposed places to sheltered positions, and in securing sun screens with which the roofs of plant houses are covered. These arrangements employ the greater part of the staff for a considerable time before, and after storms.
Collecting.
26. The administration and working of the department has absorbed the whole of my time and left none in which I could, without detriment to the department, absent myself for any purpose, there- fore what collecting has been done has been accomplished by sending natives on short excursions to islands and the mainland within easy access from Hongkong. The results of these journeys have added plants of much interest to our collections of both living and dried plants, but excursions near home and when undertaken by natives are much less fruitful and unsatisfactory than expeditions made under European leadership, but in the absence of the latter native agency is better than none.
GOVERNMENT HOUSE AND MOUNTAIN LODGE GROUNDS.
27. The grounds on the plateau on the northern side of Government House which needed im- provement were relaid out in the early part of the year. This involved a change in the levels, raising a considerable portion, the taking up and relaying of all the turf, the making of new beds and borders, the introduction of a new system of underground and surface drainage, removal and replanting of shrubs, &c., and the formation of new walks with cut granite edging stones as far as possible.
28. At Mountain Lodge the tennis lawn was extended sufficiently to allow of three courts being used at one time instead of two as before.
DISTRIBUTION AND INTERCHANGE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS.
29. Plants and seeds to the extent of 197 boxes, bags, and packets, weighing 16lbs., 459 specimens of dried plants, and 801 living plants were received in exchange. The following were the principal donors:-

SALE OF PLANTS AND TREES.
31. The sales have been continued to about the same extent as last year.
The sum of $343.38
was received for 3,143 plants and trees which were supplied to about 100 separate orders.
HERBARIUM.
32. The work of the year has consisted chiefly in preparing, mounting, and incorporating. The incorporation of specimens has not advanced, for want of time, so rapidly as could have been desired, but 705 specimens were placed in their final positions in the cabinets.
33. To Mr. W. T. THISELTON DYER, Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, Monsieur DE POLI, Paris, and the Rev. ERNST FABER, Shanghai, thanks are due for contributions of valuable and interesting specimens.
34. Several collections of dried plants have been sent to the Royal Gardens, Kew, in exchange, and that institution has also again rendered most valuable service in the identification of a considerable number of specimens submitted to it for comparison and determination.
35. I may here mention that the elaboration at Kew of the Index Flora Sinensis has been steadily pushed forward; the work has been completed to the Nat. Ord. Loganiacea.
36. The parts as published are put on record here and are available for reference to any one who desires to make use of them.

FORESTRY.
38. The planting operations have been, as customary, distributed over the greater portion of the Colony exclusive of the Cape D'Aguilar and Stanley peninsulas. The operations of preparing lands for the reception of seeds and trees began in August of 1888 and the last tree was planted on June 20th, 1889. There is no interval between the end of one planting season and the beginning of the next, as the selection of lands and making of contracts for the next season's work begins immediately that tree planting is finished. Actual planting began on November 14th, 1888 and, as stated above, was finished on June 20th, 1889, i.e., it extended through a period of about six months, during which planting was done on 126 days. During the whole of the season the greatest care and foresight has to be constantly exercised in selecting suitable conditions of weather for insuring success in transplant- ing operations. The absence of rainfall and of water in streams on the hills at the time of year when trees are in the best condition for transplanting renders it necessary to distribute the planting over wide areas and in localities at great distances apart, so that trees may be planted at convenient dis- tances for artificial watering from such scanty sources as may be available. This, and the fact that the very small bits of land suitable for nurseries are also scattered all over the island compels a system of desultory planting involving the expenditure of much time in superintendence and management which is not felt where natural conditions permit operations to be carried out on more circumscribed and concentrated plans. The yearly extension of lands brought within forestry management and the greater distances of works from head quarters does not diminish the strain experienced in maintaining or developing efficiency in all branches.
39. The work during the year under review has been very heavy and the staff generally has given much satisfaction in so far as their abilities and power went, but there is an insufficiency of educated and experienced assistance at my disposal for carrying out directions and plans of the extent and in the manner which is desirable. The Head Forester, Lo AQWAI, has applied himself with diligence, faithfulness, and 'intelligence to the work, and he has given much satisfaction generally.
40. Owing to the Contractor who engaged to rear and supply pine trees having failed to produce the full number agreed upon it was not possible to plant so extensively as had been arranged for. The failure was apparently owing to the Contractor's ignorance of methods of cultivation, or careless- ness of management. He failed to supply about two-thirds of the number stipulated for.
Pines Reared in situ.
41. A contract was made for 450,000 trees to be reared in situ, and of that number, the Contractor handed over a year after sowing, 429,238. He reported that soon after sowing the seeds small birds attacked and devoured them to a large extent. This seems to be the first year that birds have been noticed to do injury here to forest seeds or trees. At the end of the first year the seedling trees have attained a size varying from three to six inches in height, and from one to about a dozen seedlings in each site, the size and number being influenced by the quality of soil or exposure to wind, or to water collected on the hills in heavy rains and rushing over the sites; these agents being to a considerable extent the cause of many entire failures. The loss from these entire failures however is borne by the Contractor who is paid at the end of the first year for healthy trees only, the price paid being only about a fourth the cost of planting trees. After the in situ trees are taken over from the Contractor a small portion for a year or two will continue to die leaving the strongest to survive in the fittest places. Even with these losses the method has much to recommend it, in economy, over planting. To complete the plantations the gaps are filled up after the trees which have succeeded have grown and shown themselves sufficiently distinct from their surroundings, which is in about two or three years after the seeds were sown. The trees which are used for filling up vacancies are trans-
368
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MAY, 1890.
planted from nurseries in which they have been reared. Under the most favourable conditions plan- tations raised by sowing in situ are perfect, some of the older ones being without a break in their uniformity and never having been filled up.
Cryptomeria japonica.
42. About fourteen thousand of these were procured from Japan for planting in the catchwater area of the Pokfulam Reservoir. This was done, with the approval of the Sanitary Board, in order to vary the uniform gramineous vegetation of the hills for aesthetic effect, the Cryptomeria on account of its persistent leaves being considered the least likely to pollute the water with decaying vegetation. Many of the trees, some months after they were planted, were attacked and killed by white ants which completely destroyed the bark of the stems below ground. The same thing occurred to a few hundred trees planted for experiment in another locality near Aberdeen. The trees which were not attacked by termetes have established themselves and grown well. This is a tree which should in common with most trees be planted before its annual growth begins, but which is unfortunately, also like other trees, in the dry season before the rains are of much benefit to them, and consequently the difficulty of planting the tree extensively is great by reason of scarcity of accessible water for artificial watering.
Camphors.
43. An experiment was tried of planting seedlings five months old when they were about four to six inches high so that they could be planted during June in the rain season and so diminish the cost of planting which attends older trees. The planting would be successful if the continuance of rain at short intervals for a month were assured, but the irregularity of showers leaves intervals of too much dryness which is prejudicial to tender seedlings where they cannot be artificially supplied with water. Of those, however, which were well established, a large number were attacked with Cassytha filiformis, a lauraceous parasite in the form of long thread-like stems which infests and lives upon living grass and other vegetation. In places, especially on the southern side of the island with dry, poor soil and hot aspects the parasite is very abundant amongst grass. It attached itself to the deli- cate stems of the camphors and extracted all the plants' juices for its own nutriment, the camphors having had to succumb to its oppressive neighbour.
44. The camphor in good soil, which however is a very rare commodity here, will thrive well in moderately sheltered situations up to an altitude of about 500 feet. The degree of altitude in this, as in some other cases in Hongkong, at which trees discontinue to thrive is not regulated by temperature as might be supposed by the reference to altitude) as by exposure to concentrated and accumulated winds, decreased fertility and depth of soil, and diminution of water in suspension in the soil.
Tristanea conferta.
45. About seventeen thousand were reared from seeds in pots and planted out in the Western District. They were planted at a higher elevation than the older trees which have done so well on lands bordering the eastern end of the city. The higher elevation will probably not be so favourable to growth as the lower one, but during the past year the trees have averaged about 2 feet in new vertical growth, lateral branches having also been developed to a small extent. The tree, like its congener the Eucalyptus, both natives of Australia, has a habit of unusually great vertical development, but its aspect is more pleasing and its foliage, denser than the gum trees. The older trees have again yielded a good supply of seeds, which have been sown and have produced 25,000 seedlings.
Road Planting.
46. As soon as the formation of Lower Richmond Road was sufficiently advanced it was planted along its whole length with trees on one side, the road not being wide. enough to permit of two rows being planted. Upper Richmond Road was planted in 1888. The planting of these two new roads has completed the planting of all the roads in that locality which are suitable for the introduction of trees. 47. Steps have also been taken for the planting of such of the new roads at Kowloon as it was considered advisable should be done this
year.
48. Kowloon is now provided fairly well with trees, taking into consideration those in private grounds, those in Robinson Road-which I hope may be completed as soon as there is an opportunity -and those which this department has planted on the lands south and north of the rifle butts, and which have with their development so greatly changed the once sterile and treeless aspect of the hills to a scene of greater verdant beauty.
49. As a rule the older roads and streets of the Colony in or immediately adjacent to the city were not, apparently, laid out with consideration being given to the requirements of trees which were subsequently introduced when the inhabitants found how intolerable was the absence of trees in our

hot glaring tropical summers. The trees which were planted and maintained at great cost and with much care have developed in spite of the disadvantages of crippled space for growth of head and roots into objects of beauty which cast agreeable shade affording relief from the burning sun and intense glare and heat which was experienced before the introduction of trees. Many trees have yearly to be sacri- ficed to make room for extensions of buildings which, however, in many cases, provide in themselves a partial substitute for the trees. It is only necessary to picture what some streets and roads without trees would be to insure the most careful guardianship of what has been attained in spite of considerable difficulties. There may be some disadvantages which follow in the wake of trees, but the immense advantages will be generally considered to far outweigh them.
50. In places where land may not be too valuable for such a purpose it would be very desirable for the sake of further extension of tree planting in roads if it were possible that future new ones could be made of sufficient width to allow the possibility of a moderate regular development of the heads of the trees on all sides, instead of, as at present, extension on the side next buildings being so much restricted. The result of this one sidedness is that as trees develop chiefly on one side they are gradually dragged down by the weight of the head from an upright position to one inclining over the roadway, the incline in time becoming so great that for safety limbs have to be cut off and ultimately, in many cases, entire trees have to be removed.
Nurseries.
51. The Government possesses land for only one tree nursery in Hongkong. The many nurseries throughout the island in which trees for the Government are annually reared by contract are obtained by the Contractor from squatters on payment of rent for the one year during which the trees are grown in the nurseries. After the trees are taken from the nurseries the squatters resume the cultivation of rice and vegetables in the ground. Although this alternation of crops restores fertility to the soil, it only does so to a partial extent, never apparently returning all which the trees have taken out of the soil. The very limited amount of cultivable land, and the still smaller portions which squatters are willing to let to the Contractor has rendered it necessary to use the same ground over and over again during some years, this continual cropping with trees, and the somewhat meagre fertilizing agents used by the squatters in the intervals, have begun to affect the quality of nursery trees. It is difficult to remedy this under existing arrangements whereby the Government holds so little cultivable land of its own.
52. The rearing of certain trees in pots has necessitated the use, in addition to the one Government nursery, being made, for nursery purposes, of a portion of the Bowrington plantation, marked on maps as "Public Gardens.". This name, adopted twenty years ago, is misleading, as the land was never a public garden in any sense, but in the first instance was thickly planted with forest trees only and to within the last few years it has been nothing but a plantation.

Planting Statistics.
53. The numbers and kinds of trees planted, and the localities in which they were placed are given in the appendix and on the accompanying map.* The numbers and localities have been given in former reports, but the map is furnished this year in addition in order to show approximately the positions of the plantations in compliance with instructions recently received. In the absence of suitable maps of the Colony and of facilities for laying down precise areas, which I have explained in another place, only roughly approximate indications on the map are practicable. The plots referred to are coloured vermillion and each one is marked with a letter of the alphabet, and the numbers of trees planted are marked by its side, corresponding letters and detailed figures being given in the table of statistics. This, although not so perfect as I could desire, will, I trust, meet that which is required. The statistics include trees planted in November and December, 1888, this being properly the beginning of the planting season of 1889.
Thinning Plantations and removal of Brushwood.
54. The thinning of plantations was confined to the few first months of the year, the usual work of the latter end of the season having been postponed to this year, therefore, the number of trees thin- ned was relatively small. At the present time something like 40,000 trees require removal for the benefit of the permanent ones.
55. Removal of brushwood or undergrowth has, as usual, been conducted throughout the year, this work now giving almost continuous employment to a gang of men.
The work is generally per- formed not only at no expense to the Government but a small income is obtained derived from the sale of the brushwood. There are some exceptions to this such as where the undergrowth is not large enough to be of saleable value, in which cases the work is performed by the forestry staff in the inter- vals between other more important work.
56. Some alarm, which, from my experience, I cannot but regard as unnecessary, seems to have been allowed to have had some disturbing influence in some quarters in regard to what is called under- growth. The origin of the alarm may have been associated with dense undergrowth which exists in other countries under conditions widely differing from those prevailing in Hongkong, what little there

is of undergrowth here being connected with attendant evil effects of that of some other countries without making due allowances for circumstances here which counteract or reduce to a harmless mini- mum results injurious to health which are attendant on excessive vegetation under some certain conditions.

57. In tropical places where vegetation is extremely luxuriant and where the land on which it grows is comparatively flat and fertile there is often a mass of decaying vegetation which is undoubtedly injurious to animal life. In Hongkong, however, the soil is, as a rule, comparatively, and much of it excessively, sterile, and the configuration of the island is such that the excessive summer rainfall washes away most of the vegetable matter which has been separated by natural decay from shrubs or trees, and which therefore has no opportunity to lodge on the ground and in the process of decay produce an unhealthy atmosphere.
58. The vegetation of this region being of such a character that but little is shed periodically, and the hills of the island being so steep, there is rarely much accumulation of leafy matter which reaches the stage of unhealthy decay. The existence of healthy living trees, undergrowth, or scrub in them- selves, will not, on due consideration being given to the subject, be blamed, when the chemical action of the leaves of plants is considered, for imparting an unhealthy character to a neighbourhood, but, so long as there is no undue accumulation of decaying vegetation an abundance of trees and shrubs should be beneficial to the inhabitants so long as due circulation of air and admission of light is not impeded by them.
Ferneries.
59. The ferneries and rockeries which are maintained by the Government-there are some which were constructed at Government expense, but which are not maintained by them-have been kept in good order, but the great storm of May swept part of them away, these are being reconstructed and will be planted again this year. Their maintenance has been rather difficult on account of damages done by stray animals and passing traffic, in addition to which there have been many thefts to plants; it is impossible, on account of petty thefts to grow anything except the commonest of plants in the rockeries.
Protective Service.
60. The small band of Forest Guards has done its work fairly well, and damage and destruction of trees has been confined within narrow limits. Out of 47 cases brought before the Magistrates 40 convictions were obtained.
61. The raising of the rates of the Little Hongkong villagers, in consequence of the continued damage to trees immediately around the old village, has had a marked good effect, proving that the villagers possess the power, which they have been interested in exercising last year for the first time, of guarding the trees.
62. In January convictions for grass cutting ceased, and afterwards no arrests were made. This was in consequence of the presiding Magistrate in the last case having decided that there was no Ordinance under which punishments could be legally inflicted. Since that time grass cutters have been increasingly resuming their old practices, and besides the injury done by removal of grass where it was desirable it should remain, the excuse of being engaged in the avocation of grass cutting gives the people so employed the opportunity of cutting trees at the same time, and thus the work of pro- tection is rendered more difficult and somewhat less perfect.
Grass Fires.
63. Throughout the dry season at the beginning and end of the year fires were numerous, there having been 15 in all. Six of these fires destroyed trees to the number of about 30,000 as near as could be ascertained. The largest quantity of trees destroyed was near Tytam Tuk where the destruc- tion amounted to 16,000 and another one near Pokfulam killed 9,000. Of the 15 fires 9 did no damage to planted trees. The fire barriers-cleared tracks-again did great service in checking the fires.
64. The extinction of fires has given some arduous work to the staff which is always despatched when needed at any time of the day or night to extinguish them.
65. The Police have again rendered very valuable service in reporting, by telegraph, fires to me, and also in despatching their own staff with hired coolies to check the fires. Of the 15 fires 9 were reported by the Police, forest guards having also reported some of them. The Stanley and the Shau- kiwan Stations had in their districts the greatest number of fires, the west and northern parts of the island, having been nearly exempt, but the West Point and Aberdeen Police have rendered good service also. The out-stations have been kept supplied by this department with the requisites for fire extinc- tion, and the remuneration to coolies employed has also been paid from the forestry funds.
Fire Barriers.
66. The barriers cleared in previous years were, before the beginning of the dry season, all inspected and recleared where necessary, and new ones made where required. The clearing was done by contract At the present time the total length of barriers in use is about forty miles.

67. A contract was made on behalf of the Royal Engineers' Department for rearing and supplying plants of certain kinds required for various fortifications of the Colony. The contract extends over nearly two years, and this department undertook to organize the arrangements and supervise the Con- tractor during the period of the contract.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. -No. 182.
The following Annual Report of the Captain Superintendent of Police for 1889, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 29th ultimo, is published for general information.
By Command,
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 3rd May, 1890.
No. 15.
POLICE DEPARTMENT,
28th January, 1890.
SIR, I have the honour to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Criminal Statistics for the year 1889. They show that 7,461 cases were reported to the Police during the last year, being a decrease of 653 cases or 8.04 per cent. on the return for 1888. In the sub- division of these cases into Serious Crimes (so called) and Minor Offences an increase of 457 cases or 18.76 per cent. is found in Serious Crimes, and a decrease of 1,110 cases or 19.54 per cent. in Minor Offences. The proportion of convictions for Serious Crimes is 3 per cent. higher than in the previous
year.
2. If the house building and population increase in the same way that they have done for the last few years, it will be necessary to apply for an increase of the land force.
3. The adoption of telephones instead of the somewhat antiquated magnetic instruments used for the Police telegraphs is under consideration, and I propose in the next requisition of Stores from England to include three standard Police Alarms of the kind that have lately been tried in London; they may prove to be serviceable, if placed at the Clock Tower, the Chinese Recreation Ground, and near the Albany.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
W. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 28th February, 1890.
SIR, I have the honour to report that during the year ending 31st December, 1889, there were twenty-one fires at which the service of the Brigade were required in which fifteen houses were totally destroyed and thirteen houses partially damaged.
2. The value of the property destroyed calculated on the amount of insurance effected and a view of the premises subsequent to the fires is estimated at $98,200.
3. The return shows a considerable decrease in the number of fires as compared with that of the years 1887 and 1888, the number for those years respectively being thirty-five and forty-five, the diminution being possibly due to the proceedings under the Fire Enquiry Ordinance and to greater
caution in the issue of Fire Policies.
4. Of the fires that took place seventeen formed the subject of official enquiry under the Ordinance, with the result, generally speaking, that there were either gravely suspicious circumstances brought to light or no satisfactory explanation of the cause of fire was forthcoming. As a rule the suspicious circumstances were too negative in character to warrant a prosecution, and during the year only one such prosecution was ordered, and even this went no further than a committal for trial and terminated in a nolle prosequi.
5. Whatever may be the moral effect of these enquiries of which one can only judge hypotheti- cally, by comparing the number of fires before and after the institution of them, I am strongly of opinion that they are most necessary, and that they supply a want which had long been felt.
6. Where the fire is accidental it must be gratifying to the owner of the premises that its accidental origin should be officially recorded, and where it is the result of a crime it is important in the interests of the public that the matter should be exhaustively sifted.

2. The value of the property destroyed calculated on the amount of insurance effected and a view of the premises subsequent to the fires is estimated at $98,200.

7. As to whether or not the Ordinance requires improvement I do not wish to speak positively. I certainly think that a grave obstacle is placed in the way of effectual prosecutions by the inability to use in a prosecution the depositions that have been taken in an enquiry, and one also feels the want of some kind of provision by which upon a formal finding on the part of the Magistrate that the circumstances are gravely suspicious, the Insurance Companies should be thereby prohibited from satisfying claims until they have been made good to the satisfaction of a Court after consideration of the facts adduced at the enquiry.
8. These, however, are matters requiring a good deal of consideration, and I merely refer to them as the impressions which the enquiries leave upon me when conducting them.
9. The year 1889 has been notable as the year in which the Volunteer Brigade was disbanded. In existence before the establishment of the Government Brigade in 1868, they have for many years. afforded valuable and willing aid at the numerous fires at which they have been present and they have contained in their ranks the flower of the youth and activity of the Colony.
10. Their disbandment led to an increase in the European element of the Government Brigade, consisting partly of Police and partly of Soldiers recruited from the regiment, and at the same time the Chinese force whose numbers were unnecessarily large was considerably reduced.
11. In other respects the Brigade has been conducted on the saine lines as heretofore. There is the same Central Station, the same system of alarms and the same general orders with regard to attendance at fires. Such improvements as have been made, have been made in the matter of appliances and in the provision beforehand of every thing likely to be required at a fire, together with rules for their disposition and for the prevention of any interruption in the operations such as by the bursting of hose, the breakdown of an engine, or other ways known to those who have to deal with fires.
12. Although the alarm bell is sounded when assistance is required at Wanchai an arrangement has been made by which only a certain number of the Fire Brigade, who are told off month by month. for the purpose, are allowed to go, as it is not desirable that the whole of the Brigade should be absent from the central part of the Town unless absolutely necessary. The alarms continue to be as heretofore one bell for the Eastern District from Wanchai to the Murray Barracks, two bells for the Central District from Murray Barracks to the Harbour Office, and three bells for the Western District.
13. While satisfied that the present system of centralisation of engines and men at the Central Fire Station is necessary under existing circumstances where the men are drawn from the Police Force at the Central Police Station, and have their quarters either there or at the Fire Brigade Station, I am of opinion that the completion of the distribution of water will necessitate a radical reconstruction of the Brigade, and that the proper method for the suppression of fires will be found to lie in a number of small stations placed at a convenient distance apart with hose and other articles ready for immediate use at the outset, steam-engines falling into the background and occupying a subordinate position in the Brigade.
14. I have already had made as an experiment anticipatory to this change of system what is known as "The Fire Despatch-box," the points of which are that it can be worked by one man, and contains all the necessary appliances for dealing with a fire at the outset including three hundred feet of hose, and I anticipate that it or some other contrivance will be spread all over the Town and worked by a system which has yet to be devised when the water works are completed.
15. I have much pleasure in stating that the behaviour of the men at fires has been good, and their attendance regular, and that Mr. CAMPBELL, who fills the important post of Assistant Engineer and is responsible for the proper keeping of the appliances and the general efficiency of the Brigade, carries out his duties conscientiously and with satisfaction.
16. Since the commencement of this year the Brigade has lost the services of Mr. BREWER who I regret to say after a long illness has succumbed to it. He was a very zealous and efficient Officer, and during the absence on leave of the Superintendent in 1886, received a special letter of thanks from the Government for the manner in which he had acted as Superintendent. His place has been filled by Mr. WAGNER subject to the approval of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies.
17. I enclose copy of Mr. WAGNER'S report on the state of the engines and also a return of fires and alarms of fires during the year 1889.
I have the honour to be,
Sir.
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable W. M. DEANE, M.A.,

GOVERNMENT FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,
2nd January, 1890.
SIR,I have the honour to submit herewith my report on the state of the Government Fire- engines for the year ended 31st December, 1889.
Steamer No. 1 (Floating engine), by Messrs. Merryweather & Co., has been 22 years in service. In December last, the launch was docked for repairs, and the Fire and Screw engines received a thorough overhaul. The water tanks were taken out of launch, scraped, painted and repaired. They have now been in long use, and are considerably corroded and pitted on the insides, so much so, that I would recommend new ones to be fitted during the early part of next year.
During the year, the engine has not been disabled at any fire, and is now in good working order. Steamer No. 2, by Messrs. Merryweather & Co., has been 21 years in service. In August last it received a thorough overhaul. During the year it has not been disabled at any fire, but on two periodical trials it was completely disabled, on one occasion, by the bursting of one of the boiler tubes, and on the other, by the failure of one of the cylinder covers.
This engine is of obsolete type for land purposes, being complicated in design, cumbersome to transport owing to its great size and weight and slow to generate steam. The increase of the areas of the steam pistons over that of the plungers is so small that with the present boiler pressure, the maximum water pressure that can be attained is 55 lbs. per square inch. A pressure, which, when it is considered the increase of buildings of an inflammable nature on levels with Lyndhurst Terrace and Wellington Street, and the increased height of new buildings on the lower levels renders the engine absolutely worthless for any other purpose than that of feeding. Its upkeep and consumption of fuel are very expensive compared with the modern and more powerful engines. In my last year's report I recommended a new fire-box to be fitted to the boiler. This expenditure was not sanctioned. I consider the engine not worth the outlay now, and would recommend that it be disposed of by tender, and the proceeds go towards the purchase of an engine of modern type, similar to No. 5. The engine is in good working order compatible with its age and worn out condition.
the
Steamer No. 3, by Shand & Mason, has been 10 years in service, and the boiler 2 years. During year it has not been disabled at any fire, and is now in good working order.
Steamer No. 4, by Shand & Mason, has been 7 years in service. In March last it received a thorough overhaul. It has not been disabled at any fire, and is in good working order and a most efficient engine.
Steamer No. 5, by Shand & Mason, has been 3 years in service. In November last it received a thorough overhaul. It has not been disabled at any fire. It is in good working order and a most efficient engine.
Volunteer Engine, by Shand & Mason, has been 9 years in the service of the Volunteer Brigade, and 1 year in the Government. It has not been disabled at any fire, and is in good working order.
The Assistant Engineer and Engine drivers have attended regularly and promptly to all calls made on the Brigade, and have performed their respective duties in a most satisfactory and creditable
manner.
I have the honour to be,
Sir;
The Honourable H. E. WODEHOUSE, C.M.G.,

SANITARY BOARD ROOM,
HONGKONG, 1st March, 1890.
NOTE. There is a slight difference between the death-rate shown in this summary, and that given in the Mortality Statistics issued by the Registrar-General for the estimated population of the Colony. The difference arises from the cir- cumstance that the estimated population for the Kau-lung district is given at 2,000 more than the Registrar- General's estimate. The reason for adding the 2,000 is given in a report on the sanitary condition of Kau-lung made in the early part of 1885.

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 ofChina, ancient and modern, pas 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.

Besides the total sum of $36,985.01 received for fees--a sum of $9,198.05 was paid over to the Treasury being the amount to the credit of certain estates or trusts which had remained unclaimed in the Registry for many years and which were dealt with by Ordinance No. 11 of 1888.

VICTORIA COLLEGE,
10th January, 1890.
SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on this College for 1889.
1. The total number of boys on the Roll during the past year was 919. The number of School- days, 233, is still below the average, though better than the previous year. The College was closed on the four following extraordinary occasions, two days during the storm in May, one day on the transfer from the Central School, and one day for a Public Funeral.
2. To illustrate the condition of the Schools during the last five years the following table is annexed:-

3. Victoria College was occupied 10th July, 1889, the foundation stone having been laid by Sir George Bowen 26th April, 1884, on a site selected by a Commission some fourteen years ago. College is undoubtedly a fine spacious building occupying a good central position, and is sufficiently elevated to ensure a free admission of light, and of whatever cool breezes may be expected in the summer weather. The class rooms are arranged with the strictest economy of space and easily provide accommodation for 960 boys. Besides its annual use for the prize distribution, the hall is of great service in the monthly collection of fees, and is absolutely indispensable for the midsummer and annual examinations, when 132 boys can be examined at one time, while ample space is provided as a pre- caution against the possibility of copying or any communication whatever. The large covered play- ground in the basement is an incomparable boon during the rainy and hot seasons.
4. The erection of Victoria College is entirely due to the foresight and unremitting zeal of the late Dr. STEWART, who by a sad fatality can scarcely be said to have seen the fruition of his labours, as he was removed by death before the College was in full working order. The extent to which he bore up against the depressing effect of delay and opposition may be conceived when we read the following passage from his Report so far back as '77; As a remedy for all this (stationary condition) cannot be far distant now, although it cannot arrive in time to affect the current year, further notice of the School, its working, its aim, and its success, may therefore be deferred until the new building is occu- pied." Dr. STEWART will ever be famous as the Founder of Education in the Colony. Apart too from
426

enjoying an immortality in the hearts of his scholars in all parts of China, I might say the world, his memory will be kept green in Victoria College by the scholarship founded in his honour by old scholars in 1884.
I believe too that the Memorial Committee appointed since his death contemplate applying to the Government for permission to affix some permanent memorial in the College Hall.
5. It was originally proposed that Victoria College should furnish accommodation for 770 boys, a number which was supposed by some to be extravagantly large. By the simple expedient of dividing all the desks into six instead of five parts, seats have been provided for 960 boys (including the Pupil Teachers' room) affording each boy a space, that compares favourably with what is required in England; while future undue crowding, an evil long felt at the Central School is rendered impossible by each boy's space being defined by his desk-lid. In addition to the manifest saving of expense in providing education for 924 boys by the same staff as was allotted to 770, there are great advantages derived from the assembling of a larger number of boys in one building; these are-one continuous system of education, as the larger number of boys to be promoted from lower classes will gradually lessen the number of admissions into higher classes from other schools,--a prolongation of the course, which will delay the undue promotion of backward boys which has long been to their detriment, and to the dis- credit of the upper classes-and the more effective shading off of degrees of knowledge so that too great a stride in education will no longer follow on promotion. There were 800 boys on the Roll in September, and there is every reason to believe that the College will be full in a year or two, if not
next month.
6. During the past year there were on the Roll 790 Chinese and Eurasians, 23 English, 4 Germans, 8 Hebrews, Hindu, 10 Japanese, 36 Mohammedans, Parsee and 46 Portuguese. This college can therefore in a marked degree lay claim to a cosmopolitan character.
7. Chinese boys, as a rule, are very intelligent, docile and painstaking. That they are intelligent is established by the large number of boys, that in the short period of five or six years have advanced from the alphabet to a knowledge of English sufficient to do a creditable paper on a play of Shakespeare. Their docility proverbially arouses the admiration of every new master from England. Painstaking- ness is a national characteristic sometimes provoking to the more impetuous European. It might be thought that with these admirable traits the work of teaching in this College would be an easy task and the results should be even higher than they are. There would be grounds for this supposition, if there were not serious compensating drawbacks such as the following. Stolidity and absence of facial expression render it next to impossible for a teacher to gather how much of what he says is understood by the class; he has not the satisfaction of seeing perplexed ignorance dissolve into triumphant know- ledge, for difficulties do not pucker the brow, nor does success kindle the eye of the Chinese student. This difficulty is increased tenfold by the fact that all instruction is given in English, thus there is not merely the doubt whether a boy understands the subject itself, but a fear that he does not grasp the phrase in which it is conveyed. Again the Chinese answer in English with a single word after the genius of their own language leaving a great deal to the imagination; such a habit is hard to break, and very tantalising to the teacher, as the embryo answer may contain a corret idea or the reverse. Further where an English boy would answer to the best of his ability, even running the risk of a mistake, or would ask the master for assistance or explanation, a Chinese is deterred by a nervous fear of the ridicule of his comrades. Once again, though keen in detecting the shades of their dozen native tones, Chinese ears are remarkably dull in detecting the difference in English vowel sounds, and between sharp and flat consonants; the result of all which is impossible mistakes in Dictation and Reading. It might be thought too, that the inherited power of memory in the Chinese race, of which one hears so much would prove a considerable factor in their progress, but this is far from being the case. It would certainly be so in Examinations if special care were not taken in framing the questions to avoid putting them in such a form as would allow of an answer being previously committed to memory. But as a matter of fact, in daily school life there would appear to be a sad lack of an in- telligent memory, the master cannot rely on the work done in the previous year as a foundation on which to raise a higher superstructure. I have dwelt at this length on the characteristics of Chinese boys, because only those daily engaged in the task of teaching know exactly where the difficulties lie, and because some explanation is thus afforded of the necessity of the slow progress that has been made in the past, and may be expected for some time in the future.
8. To impart the principles of a sound education in English is the main object of this Government Institution. In the distribution of work to each class this is steadily aimed at, and strict injunctions are given to employ the English language alone in all instruction, except of course in the Translation Lessons and when occasionally in the Junior Classes difficulties require to be explained in Chinese. The natural consequence of this is that the boys become very apt at understanding what is said to them in English. The great problem is how to get boys to speak English before they leave school. Ex- perience has shown that, within a few months after obtaining a situation, our Chinese boys, with their store of grammatical rules and knowledge of composition, develop the power of speaking English very creditably; but, as a rule, only Pupil Teachers and Monitors really speak English well before leaving school. This would seem to point clearly to a want of self-confidence, and to the absence of the spur of necessity. Special attention will in the future be paid to this in Junior classes. The work of the upper classes is at present regulated by the requirements of the Oxford Senior Local Examination.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MAY, 1890.
427
As I believe a mistaken impression prevails that Latin was on this account added to the curriculum, I will take this opportunity of ventilating the purpose with which it was introduced. BACON and MILTON, the fathers of English Prose Composition, teem with Latinisms, nor are these entirely absent from the modern standard of ADDISON. It is only quite recently that English composition has become a separate study in England. Formerly a good classical education was supposed sufficient to enable an English author to write correctly in his mother tongue. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that a foreigner must be assisted in the acquisition of English rules of composition by the study of that language, on which its choicest models are framed. In Latin the observance of concord and regimen is rendered conspicuous by inflection, the intelligent translation therefore of a simple Latin author should explain the reason of many English rules. Moreover immense assistance in understand- ing and distinguishing the meanings of English words, and often in spelling them, is manifestly afford- ed by even a restricted Latin vocabulary. In the First Class, Latin, Chemistry, Drawing, Book- keeping, Mensuration, and Trigonometry will for the future be optional, and not included in class subjects.
9. In India it has been found necessary to prepare special school text-books for English education. The demand in Hongkong is too slight to offer much encouragement to a similar enterprise, but the want makes itself felt. As an effort in this direction I published a few years ago a School Arithmetic specially intended to explain difficulties to our boys. Much could be done in the way of explaining eccentricities of English Idiom and Spelling, to say nothing of the urgent need of a cheap text-book of the Geography of the Chinese Empire. Something too is needed to supplement the School Committee's series of books in Chinese, which provide practice for Translation into English. The late Mr. FALCONER edited a very useful book, but the very classical Chinese can only be adequately translated into very classical English. I have therefore just recently compiled a collection of cuttings from Chinese news- papers, which will, it is to be hoped, familiarise the boys with everyday ideas and expressions.
10. In the confined area of the old Central School nothing could be done to provide the boys with the necessary opportunity for developing their physique. Simple gymnastic appliances will shortly be erected in the covered play ground; if properly availed of, this should counteract the cramped attitudes generally associated with study.
11. The fees have been raised in Class I to $36 per annum and in Classes II and III to $24, as the Upper School derives the chief benefit from the heavy expense of the salaries of English Masters, and of costly school material. Chinese parents should reflect that they have now a good English education brought to their doors, and that their sons can pass an examination held in England without the outlay attendant upon sending them thither for five or six years. It is much to be desired that parents, who can afford it. as many of them well can, should not take their sons away immediately upon their pro- motion to the First Class, but allow them to stay a year or two at the top of the School to really complete their education more thoroughly.
12. The staff consists of twenty-nine in all; viz.: nine English Masters (four of whom are gra- duates), ten Chinese Assistants, three Pupil Teachers and three Monitors; and in Chinese School four Chinese Graduates. (Sau Tsoi). This is an increase of ten masters on the staff formerly at the Central School. Four new English Masters arrived in April and May last, Messrs. BARLOW, M.A., BOOTH, HASELDEN, B.A., and BOARDS; of these, three were extra, and one was to supply the vacancy caused by the appointment of Mr. MAY to be second master on the death of Mr. FALCONER. The six new Chinese Assistants were provided by six Pupil Teachers articled three years ago, and who during the last five months have given evidence of their ability to discharge their duties very satisfactorily. With the exception of Translation from Chinese in the two head classes the Head Master no longer takes a position on the teaching staff; his time being fully occupied in organisation and supervision, fortnightly inspections of each class, half-yearly and annual examinations with other multifarious duties. It is noteworthy that of the staff of eighteen, English and Chinese, I found on any arrival eight years ago, only two remain. As only two have been removed by death it is manifest that the remainder are those who have left in search of higher salaries elsewhere, some on promotion in the Colonial Service.
13. A normal class and a special Examination Paper on Education and School Discipline for Pupil Teachers and Monitors are a new feature this year. Mr. BOARDS, who has been in charge of these junior assistants in front of the Preparatory Class, is on the whole able to give me only a moderate Report though he speaks highly of one or two Pupil Teachers. I trust that next year some marked improvement will be observed.
14. With the necessarily increased staff for 21 classes, instead of 12, it could only reasonably be expected that the expenses would be increased, but it is satisfactory to observe that the average expense of each scholar calculated on the average daily attendance is lower than it has been for years. When it is remembered that for three months the expense of three extra English Masters was borne by the smaller number of boys at the Central School, it may reasonably be supposed that this figure will not be exceeded next year. An average cost of $25 may be called ￡3 18s. per head, which sounds a large sum, but is far exceeded by our namesake in Australia where the cost per head is ￡4 15s.
428
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MAY, 1890.
15. The result of the examination just held by me for prize purposes, and on which suitable pro- motions can be made next month, appears to me very satisfactory, 645 boys out of 676 examined, or 95 per cent. having passed. I did not expect so good a result, as the transfer of the school in the middle of the summer upset all the arrangements for the year, and 494 boys, i.c., all below Class IVA. were examined on barely a half-year's work in the classes to which they were allotted. But masters and boys were determined not to bring discredit on the College and they deserve much credit for their success. Though not wishing to intrench on the province of the Inspector of Schools, I cannot refrain from pointing out that the great weakness in the Lower School betrayed in Arithmetic is compensated by the unusually good results in English Grammar. In the Upper School (6 sections) remarkably good work was done, though IIIB. is only moderate in its tone. Classes IVA. and VB. are conspicuous for high class work in the 9 sections of the Lower School, and Class VIIA. of the 5 sections of the Preparatory School deserves special mention.
16. Last July we sent up ten boys. Of these eight passed, three as Seniors and being under nineteen years of age were declared Associates in Arts, while five passed the Junior Examination.
17. The following Table gives some idea of the manner in which the teaching of English subjects has been extended in the school, together with the introduction of higher subjects in the Upper Classes. The figures are the total number of boys examined in each subject in the following years.

18. That this College supplies a large demand for clerks in this Colony is sufficiently attested by the following facts culled from the Annual Summary of the past six years; 32 appointments have been obtained in the Colonial Service, 150 boys have been engaged by European professional and mercantile firms in the Colony, besides many clerks engaged by Hongkong firms for Japan, Shanghai and the Coast Ports. The Chinese Government too has in this period employed from this School 80 boys in its Customs, Medical, Diplomatic and Telegraph services.
19. I will conclude by expressing the gratitude of the masters and boys to the many friends of this College who continue year after year, so generously to provide prizes for the encouragement of our young students.
The Government Grant on this head, liberal as it is, would go but a small way in providing rewards for 21 English and 12 Chinese classes. But these donations coming, as they do, from all nationalities and all classes should be viewed in a further light, as an expression of public interest in the work done in these walls, and as a vote of public confidence in the manner in which that work is performed.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
GEO. H. BATESON WRIGHT, M.A., Oxon.,
Head Master.
Honourable A. LISTER,

The Egyptian Government preserves an absolute right respecting the taxation of all other articles. The Regulations and tarifications of such other articles shall be applicable to British subjects under the same conditions as to natives or to foreigners the most favoured in that respect.
The duties ad valorem levied in Egypt on goods the produce or manufacture of the United King- dom of Great Britain and Ireland shall be calculated on the value at the place of shipment or purchase of the object imported, with the addition of the cost of transport, including insurance, necessary
for the importation into Egypt as far as the port of discharge.
For the levying of these duties the importer shall make a written declaration at the Custom-house, stating the description of the goods imported and their value at the port of discharge.
The Customs may further, in contested cases, insist on the production of all the documents which should accompany consignments of merchandize, such as invoices, policies of insurance, correspondence,
&c.
If the Custom-house authorities shall be of opinion that the declared value is insufficient, they shall be at liberty to take the goods on paying to the importer the price declared by him, with an addition of 5 per cent. This payment, together with the restitution of any duty which may have been levied upon such goods, shall be made within the fifteen days following the declaration.
The said authorities shall also have the right of taking the duties in kind. In order to take the duties in kind the Customs shall have the right of selecting the articles according to their declared value until the amount due to them shall be reached.
ARTICLE VII.
In order to establish for a fixed period the value at the port of entry of the principal articles taxed ad valorem, the Administration of the Egyptian Customs shall invite the principal merchants interested in the trade of the said articles to proceed in common with them to establish a Tariff for a period not exeeding twelve months.
The Tariff thus fixed shall, until a Chamber of Commerce representing the entire trade of Alexandria shall have been created, be communicated by the Egyptian Customs to the British Con- sulate of Alexandria, and shall be considered as officially recognized, as regards British produce and subjects, if the Consulate makes no formal opposition during the fortnight following this communication ARTICLE VIII.
Export duties may be levied in Egypt at the rate not exceeding 1 per cent. ad valorem.
The value of articles exported shall be determined by the Customs, who will, as far as possible, cause periodic Tariffs to be established.
The Egyptian Government reserves the right to insist on the exporter of the articles producing proof of the payment of the special internal taxes to which the articles in question may be liable; if the said proof is not furnished, the exportation of the articles may be prohibited.
Merchandize to be transhipped, whether directly or after having been conveyed by rail across Egyptian territory, or placed in bonded stores, is free from all import or export duty. But articles intended for the use of the vessels which ship them are liable to a duty equivalent to the export duty, i... 1 per cent, ad valorem.
ARTICLE IX.
If one of the Contracting Parties shall impose an excise tax, that is to say, an inland duty, upon any article of home production or manufacture, an equivalent compensatory duty may be imposed on articles of the same description on their importation from the territories of the other country, provided that the said equivalent duty is levied on like articles on their importation from all foreign countries.
In the event of the reduction or suppression of excise taxes, that is to say, inland duties, a corresponding reduction or suppression shall at the same time be made in the equivalent compensatory import duty on the produce or manufactures of British or Egyptian origin, as the case may be.
The Regulations concerning special taxes and accessory customs duties, such as, dues for porters, warehousing, deposit, dues for quays, cranes, sluices, "tamkin," leading, permits to pass, declarations, weighing, measuring, and all other, shall be applied by the Customs of the two Contracting Countries to the natives and merchandize of the other as to their own natives and merchandize.
The preceding stipulations in nowise affect the right of Municipalities and Communes to levy, for their profit, octroi and excise duties on beverages and liquids, provisions and fodder, combustibles and building materials on their introduction into the Municipality or Commune for consumption therein even in case articles of a similar description should not exist in Egypt.
ARTICLE X.
Articles liable to duty, serving as patterns or samples, which shall be introduced into the United Kingdom by Egyptian commercial travellers, or into Egypt by commercial travellers of the United Kingdom, shall be admitted free of duty, subject to the following formalities requisite to insure their being re-exported or placed in bond :--
1. The officers of Customs at any port or place at which the patterns and samples may be imported shall ascertain the amount of duty chargeable thereon. That amount must either be deposited by the commercial traveller at the Custom-house in money, or ample security must be given for it.
3
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MAY, 1890.
451
2. For the purpose of identification, each separate pattern or sample shall, as far as possible, be marked by the affixing of a stamp, or by means of a seal being attached to it.
3. A permit or certificate shall be given to the importer, which shall contain :-
(a.) A list of the patterns or samples imported, specifying the nature of the goods, and also such particular marks as may be proper for the purpose of identification;
(b.) A statement of the duty chargeable on the patterns or samples, as also whether the amount was deposited in money, or whether security was given for it;
(c.) A statement showing the manner in which the patterns or samples were marked ;
(d.) The appointment of a period which, at the utmost, must not exceed twelve months, at the expiration of which, unless it is proved that the patterns or samples have been previously re-exported or placed in bond, the amount of duty deposited will be carried to the public account, or the amount recovered under the security given. No charge shall be made to the importer for the above permit or certificate, or for marking for identification.
4. Patterns or samples may be re-exported through the Custom-house through which they were imported, or through any other.
5. If before the expiration of the appointed time (paragraph 3 (d)) the patterns or samples should be presented at the Custom-house of any port or place for the purpose of re-exportation or being placed in bond, the officers at such port or place must satisfy themselves by examination whether the articles which are brought to them are the same as those for which the permit of entry was granted. If so satisfied, the officers will certify the re-exportation or deposit in bond, and will refund the duty which had been deposited, or will take the necessary steps for discharging the security.
ARTICLE XI.
Are alone exempt from all control in Egyptian Custom-houses on importation and exportation, as well as from the payment of duties, articles, and personal effects belonging to Consuls-General, and Consuls in the regular Consular Service ("Consuls de carriere"), having no other business, engaged neither in trade nor industry, and neither possessing nor working real property in Egypt.
ARTICLE XII.
Each of the two Contracting Governments has the right to put into force any Regulations required for the working of their Services and for the suppression of fraud, as well as any measures dictated by reasons of public health or security, on condition that such Regulations are equally applied to the ships and subjects of all other nations.
Such Regulations, including the supervision of ships and the searching for, or pursuit of, contra- band goods, as well as the fines and other penalties therein made applicable in case of false declaration; smuggling, or attempting to smuggle, fraud, or attempts to defraud, or any infringement of the Re- gulations, shall, together with the measures that may be taken in regard to public health or security, be applicable in either of the two countries to the natives of the other under the same conditions as to natives of the country itself.
If, however, the Egyptian authorities should desire to search the dwelling-house of a British subject, or a British ship anchored in an Egyptian port, a duplicate of the search-warrant shall be sent to the British Consular authority, who may at once take part if he thinks proper to do so, without the formality in question delaying the search, and no such search shall be made except between sunrise
and sunset.
It is understood, however, that the preceding stipulation shall not apply to cases in which the search is to be made in a warehouse or depot, or on board a ship which may have remained in an Egyptian port, for any reason whatsoever, more than twenty-one days. In such cases notification to the British Consular authority will not be necessary.
It is further understood that the Egyptian Government may, without notification to the British Consular authorities, put guards on board any British ship in an Egyptian port or traversing the Suez Canal.
In cases of suspicion of smuggling, the Egyptian Customs officers may board and seize any British ship of less than 200 tons burthen at anchor outside an Egyptian port, or sailing within 10 kilom. of the shore. Ships of less than 200 tons burthen may, moreover, be boarded and seized beyond the 10 kilom. limit, if the pursuit shall have been commenced within such limit.
Except in the cases provided for in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Article, no British ship exceeding 200 tons burthen shall be boarded or seized by the Egyptian Customs officers.
ARTICLE XIII.
The provisions of the preceding Articles do not apply-
1. To the special arrangement existing, or which may in the future exist, between Egypt and the other parts of the Ottoman Empire, under the direct administration of the Porte, or between Egypt
and Persia.
2. To the arrangements which the Egyptian Government may make for the exchange of native or foreign merchandize with the Soudan.
ARTICLE XIV.
The effect of the alterations of the present Tariff of duties, provided under Article VI, remains suspended until the alterations in question are also applicable to all other interested Powers.

Sir E. Baring to the Marquis of Salisbury.-( Received December 23.)
Cairo, December 14, 1889. THE desirability of giving due notice to the trade before any changes are made in the Tariff is fully recognized here.
I have been in communication with the Egyptian authorities on the subject, and have reason to believe that they will not object to three months' notice, and I have therefore addressed the letter, of which I have the honour to inclose a copy, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I will in due course communicate to your Lordship the official answer of the Egyptian Government.
Inclosure in No. 2. Sir E. Baring to Zoulfikar Pasha.
M. le Ministre,
Cairo, December 13, 1889.
WITH reference to the Commercial Convention recently signed between Great Britain and Egypt, I have been directed by Lord Salisbury to draw your Excellency's attention to the desirability of giving due notice to the trade before the new Tariff is brought into force. Lord Salisbury would pro- pose that the Egyptian Government should give public notice three months before the Tariff is applied. I should feel much obliged if your Excellency would inform me whether the Egyptian Govern- ment agree to this proposal.

WITH reference to my despatch of 14th instant, I have the honour to inclose herewith the copy of a note from the Egyptian Minister for Foreign Affairs, assenting to the proposal that the new Tariff, as fixed by the Commercial Convention, should be published three months before its application.

Cairo, December 16, 1889. YOU were good enough to inform me, in your despatch of the 13th of this month, that Lord Salisbury was of opinion that the Tariff provided by the Commercial Convention lately signed between our two Governments should be made known to the public three months before coming into force.
His Highness' Government hastens, M. le Ministre, to admit the propriety of this suggestion; I have therefore the honour to assure you that the necessary steps shall be taken at the proper time to give to the new Tariff the publicity suggested by his Lordship.

Sir E. Baring to the Marquis of Salisbury.-(Received February 17.)
Cairo, February 6, 1890.
I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith copies of the notes which have been exchanged between the Egyptian Government and myself, fixing an additional twelve months (two years in all) as the period within which colonial accessions to the Commercial Convention of the 29th October, 1889, may
be made.
Inclosure 1 in No. 4. Sir E. Baring to Zoulfikar Pasha.
M. le Ministre,
Cairo, January 31, 1890.
I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that I have received a despatch from the Marquis of Salisbury pointing out to me, in connection with the delay in the publication of the Commercial Convention of the 29th October, 1889, between Great Britain and Egypt, that difficulty may possibly arise from want of sufficient time for the self-governing British Colonies to act under the terms of Article XV of the Convention. It is therein provided that the stipulations of the Convention shall be made applicable to these Colonies upon notice on their behalf being given to the Egyptian Government within one year from the date of the signature of the Convention. But the Convention has hitherto not been communicated to the Colonies, and there will probably not be sufficient time for the Colonial Office to communicate with them fully on the subject within the period mentioned.
In instructing me to explain this difficulty, Lord Salisbury has requested me to ask your Ex- cellency if the Egyptian Government would be willing to assent to an exchange of notes by which an additional twelve months (two years in all) will be agreed upon as the period within which colonial accessions to the Convention may be made.
I should be glad if your Excellency would inform me what answer I can give to Her Majesty's
Government.
I avail, &c.

Cairo, February 5, 1890.
you
IN the despatch which you did me the honour to address to me on the 2nd of this month. were good enough to inform me that Her Majesty's Government saw some difficulty in rendering the stipulations of the Commercial Convention signed on the 29th October last between Great Britain and Egypt applicable to the British Colonies enjoying self-government, on account of the too short delay of one year allowed by Article XV of the Convention for notifying to the Egyptian Government the adherence of these Colonies.
You add, M. le Ministre, that Her Majesty's Government wishes to know if the Government of His Highness would consent to an exchange of notes by which an additional twelve months (two years in all) may be agreed upon from the date of the signature of the Convention, which would give the Colonial Office sufficient time to make full arrangements with the Colonies mentioned in Article XV.
I have the honour to inform you, M. le Ministre, that His Highness' Government is happy to be able to accede to the desire expressed by Her Majesty's Government, and consents to the additional delay.
Begging you to be good enough to make this communication known to his Excellency Lord Salisbury, I take, &c.

Such Register shall be called "The Public Vaccinator's Register" and the entries therein shall be made at the time of Vaccination by the Public Vaccinator according to the form and particulars in Schedule C hereto. The Public Vaccinator at each station shall, once in every month, cause a return to be made of all such entries to the Registrar General who shall preserve the same.

RULES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PRISONERS
ON PUBLIC WORKS.
PRISONERS.
297.-The Prisoners shall be divided into parties not exceeding sixteen men, and each party shall be known by a number.
298.-Each party shall be under the charge of an Assistant Turnkey armed with a short sword for his defence, who shall have the number of his party on a badge affixed to his left arm; and the whole of the parties shall be under the charge of a Head Turnkey armed with sword and revolver, who shall be assisted by a Turnkey armed in the same manner.
299. The prisoners will work in coupling chains of about twelve feet long, fastened by means of anklets and padlocks.
300.-If the work is near the Gaol, the pri- soners shall be marched in to their mid-day meal at noon, but if at too great a distance from the Gaol, the meal will be sent to them.
301.-The prisoners will breakfast at about 6.20 A.M., and leave the Gaol for their work at about 7 A.M., rest one hour for their mid-day meal from 12 to 1, and knock off work in the afternoon so as to reach the Gaol at 5 P.M. (nine) hours daily, including marching in and out).
302.-On Saturdays the prisoners will work until noon.
303.-Their mid-day meal will consist of 14 pint of rice congee thickened with cheap meat.
304.-Any prisoner with a longer sentence than eight years may be kept at work within the prison until he has served one-third of such
sentence.
OFFICERS.
305. In addition to the Head Turnkey in charge of the prisoners, the Turnkey to assist him, and the Assistant Turnkeys in direct charge of the parties, three or four Sikh Guards shall be posted in conspicuous positions round the works, armed with loaded rifles, to prevent escapes.
306.-The Head Turnkey will be continually on the alert during the day, repeatedly visiting the parties in his charge, and ascertaining that all is correct or otherwise. He will take discreet measures to prevent the escape of prisoners, and to effect their recapture if they are successful in escaping. He will carefully observe the officers under his charge, and report weekly to the Superintendent of the Gaol on their efficiency in the management of their parties. He will enter in a book the number of parties, number of prisoners, and the names of the officers under his charge, with the name of the district where working, and the description of labour. He will be responsible to the Surveyor General for all the tools used by the prisoners. He shall on no account allow people to loiter near the prisoners while at work, or to converse with the officers.
307.-The Turnkey shall consider himself to be under the command of the Head Turnkey, and shall assist him in the performance of his duties. He shall move about continually among the parties, keeping a watchful eye on both officers and prisoners. When needed he shall take charge of detached parties, and shall at such times use great discretion in the disposal of his officers so as to prevent the escape of any pri- soners, remembering that their safe custody should be his first care.
308. The Assistant Turnkeys in charge of parties must remember always that the safe custody of the prisoners is their first care. They shall therefore place themselves when on the works so as at all times to command a good view of their men; they shall repeatedly count their prisoners during the day, and never turn their backs towards them, and shall on no account use a spade, pick, or any other tool, so as to place themselves at a disadvantage with regard to the prisoners.
309. The Assistant Turnkeys shall be careful to ascertain that the anklets, chains, and padlocks are in proper order, and shall minutely examine them before leaving the Gaol, when knocking off work for the mid-day meal, and before returning to the Gaol in the evening.
310. In the event of a prisoner's attempting to escape, the officer in charge of his party will blow his whistle to attract the attention of the other officers, and will then fall-in the remaining prisoners of his party and await instructions from the Head Turnkey.
311.-The Head Turnkey, the Turnkey, and the Sikh Guards will not fire at an escaping prisoner unless his escape cannot be prevented by any other means; and even then will only endeavour to disable him, remembering that loss. of life is to be avoided if possible.
312.-The Assistant Turnkeys will keep a book in which they will enter the numbers, names, and sentences of the prisoners of their respective parties, making special remarks as to the industry of each prisoner, and they will be responsible to the Head Turnkey for the tools used by their parties.
REMISSION OF SENTENCES, AND
REWARDS UNDER THE
MARK SYSTEM.
313.-The time which every prisoner with a sentence of twelve months and upwards must pass in Prison will be represented by a certain number of marks, which he must earn by actual labour performed before he can be discharged.
314.- No remission will be granted for con- duct. It is only on condition of good conduct and strict obedience that prisoners are allowed to earn by their industry a remission of a portion of their sentence. If, therefore, their conduct be indifferent or bad, they will be liable to be fined a certain number of marks, according to the nature and degree of the offence, and will then forfeit by misconduct the remission which they have earned by their industry.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MAY, 1890.
315. The marks will be given according to the following scale-
(a.) 6 marks a day for zealous and steady
hard labour.
(b.) 5 marks for a less degree of industry.
(c.) 4 marks for a moderate day's work. 316-The prisoner's marks will commence at the termination of the penal stage.
317.-On the admission of a prisoner with a sentence of twelve months and upwards, such sentence will be reduced to days, which will be multiplied by four, thus giving the number of marks he is compelled to earn before his dis- charge; thus, take the twelve months sentence, 365 days multiplied by four will give 1,460, the number of marks he must earn at the rate of four a day to complete the whole of his sentence.
318.--If by his industry the prisoner gains six marks a day, and does not lose any for misconduct, he earns the full remission of one-third allowed by the Governor.
319.-On Sundays marks will be allowed for conduct alone. Except under special circum- stances where injury has accidentally resulted while on prison work, a prisoner will get only five marks a day during the time he is in Hospital. Prisoners on Light Labour by order of the Surgeon will not get more than five marks a day.
320.--Prisoners who by their misconduct forfeit the whole of their remission, will be liable to be kept in Separate Confinement during the last 6 months of their sentence.
321 The Prison officers will be supplied with books in which they will enter each evening the marks each prisoner has earned during the day.
322.-When a prisoner is sentenced to forfeit any marks which he has gained, the sentence should state the exact number of marks he is to lose, as, to forfeit six marks.
323. Extra marks may be given by the Governor, on the recommendation of the Superin- tendent, for special services such as:--
(a.) Giving information of plots.
(b.) Protecting Gaol officers or prisoners from attack, or protecting them from imminent danger.
(c.) Preventing escapes, fires, &c.
(d) Preserving order in case of disturbance. 324.-Marks will be forfeited by prisoners for misconduct according to the punishment inflicted, generally at the rate of
8 Marks for one Day Solitary Confinement
on Bread or Rice and Water,

for one Day Bread or Rice and
Water,
for one Day Reduced Penal Diet, for one Meal Stopped,
for one Pork Ration Stopped, for one Meal Bread or Rice and for a flogging.
[Water, 325.-If a prisoner is reconvicted before the period of his remission has expired, he will be allowed to earn only five marks a day instead of six, and if he is reconvicted twice before the ex- piration of the period of remission, he will be allowed to earn no remission.
489
326.-All convicted criminal prisoners with sentences of twelve months and upwards who shall be employed at remunerative labour, will be allowed to earn a small gratuity at the rate of one cent for every six marks, but the whole gratuity for any one prisoner is not to exceed $10. Such gratuity shall be paid at the time of discharge. In forfeiting marks for miscon- duct the proportionate amount of gratuity will also be forfeited.
327.--Convicts will not be allowed to earn any gratuity until they have served the first six months either in Separate Confinement or at No. 1 Hard Labour.
328.-The name of every convict under a life sentence who has served fifteen years of his sen- tence, or having served ten years of his sentence has attained or is believed in the absence of positive evidence to have attained the age of sixty, shall be submitted for the consideration of the Governor in Executive Council. This rule will be com- municated to every such convict now in prison, and to any other on first reception into prison, but each must be made to distinctly understand that such submission in no way implies that any remission of sentence will necessarily be granted.
SEPARATE CONFINEMENT.
329.-Where the Gaol accommodation admits of it, all Male Penal Servitude prisoners shall be required to pass the first six months of their imprisonment in Separate Confinement.
330.- Penal Servitude Prisoners will be allowed one hour daily to exercise in the open air under the supervision of an officer, who will see that the prisoners do not converse together, either in going to the yard, while at exercise, or in return- ing to their cells.
331-Such prisoners are to keep their cells and utensils perfectly clean at all times, and will be employed at crank labour, picking oakum, making or mending clothes, shoe making or mending, &c.
no
332.-Such prisoners shall on account communicate or hold conversation with any other prisoner. but shall at all times observe the strictest silence.
333. Such prisoners shall be permitted to write a letter on admission, if they wish it, to inform their friends of their whereabouts; but, with this exception they shall not write or re- ceive a letter, or receive a visit during the six months of their Separate Confinement.
334.-Felons, whom the Superintendent may have reasonable grounds for supposing to have been previously imprisoned for Felony, when sentenced to terms of Hard Labour will be required to pass a certain time in Separate Con- finement from one to six months according to the number of their previous convictions, and their conduct while in Gaol.
335.-Violent and disorderly prisoners may be placed in Separate Confinement at the discre- tion of the Superintendent for terms not exceed- ing seven days at one time.

2. The Shipping Returns show 30,777 Arrivals with a tonnage of 6,371,087 tons, and 30,611 Departures of C,301,604 tons, making a grand total of 61,388 vessels and 12,672,691 tons.
3. The following statement shows how this amount of shipping is apportioned:--

4. Compared with 1888, there has been an increase of British tonnage amounting to 26,526 tons, and a decrease of foreign tonnage of 61,213 tons. There has also been a decrease in the Junk trade of 289,018 tons.
3
492
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MAY, 1890.
5. Compared with the average of the past 3 years, there is a decrease under the British flag of 416 ships and 167,053 tons, of Foreign ships, there is an increase of 53,510 tons.
6. The general trade as represented by the amount of shipping from and to the various countries does not show on the whole any very marked alteration. Cochin-China, Siam, and the Gulf of Tonquin show a falling off while the Coast of China and Formosa (in British Ships) and India and Singapore show the chief increase. There is however a considerable falling off in the Junk trade between Hong- kong and Coast of China and Formosa.
7. The trade with Great Britain and Continent of Europe does not differ materially from that of 1888.
8. 3,669 steamers, 151 sailing vessels and 26,957 Junks arrived during the year, giving an average of over 84 vessels daily arriving in the Waters of the Colony. Of the steamers, over 69 per cent. were British and of these, more than 50 per cent. were "Ocean going.'
STEAM-LAUNCHES.
9. On the 31st December, there were 101 Steam-launches in the Harbour. of these, 50 were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 41 were privately owned, 10 were the property of the Colonial Government. There were, in addition, 6 launches, the property of the War Department.
EMIGRATION.
10. There has been a falling off in the number of Chinese leaving the Colony for Ports other than those in China or Japan. One cause of this falling off is said to be a reduction in the rate of wages paid to coolies in the Straits Settlements. I am inclined to the belief, however, that the principal cause is that the Coolie Brokers or "Catchers" who go into the interior to procure emigrants, are not just now as successful as they have been hitherto in securing clients. The fact of fraudulent practices on the part of these "Catchers" has become known in the interior, and the Man-larins have consequently put a check on the people, who are already rather chary of placing themselves in the hands of the "Catchers." This is not an unmixed benefit. On the one hand, the number of coolies who are cajoled into emigrating is reduced, but on the other hand, those on whom no deception is being practised are distrustful and thus deterred from going.
11. In my Annual Report for 1888 I alluded to the abuses connected with Chinese Emigration, I have since had no cause to alter the opinion which I then expressed. An abuse which I did not therein refer to was that of "impersonation" at the examination before the Emigration Officer.
This is some- times detected at the final examination on board, when the coolie, having plucked up courage, declares that he does not want to go. and it is then discovered that although he has a "contract ticket" which has been passed by the Emigration Officer, he himself has never been subject to examination. It also frequently occurs that coolies are found on board the vessel with tickets similar in all respects to those issued by the Passenger Broker, but which have not received the Emigration Officer's stamp, thus shewing that the holders of these tickets have never been examined as to their willingness to emigrate. Enquiry as to the origin of these tickets is always unsuccessful, the coolie has always received it from
a friend" who, he cannot or will not give up.
12. During 1889, direct emigration to Deli (or Medan) in Sumatra was introduced, previous to this, it used to be done through Singapore. The first ship that left here direct was the China with 272 emigrants. When somewhere near Singapore, there was a revolt of the coolies and the Captain was forced to take the vessel into Singapore. The reason given for the outbreak was that, the coolies were told at Hongkong that they were going to Singapore, and they did not want to go any where else. A similar incident occurred on board the S.S. Kiel later on in the year, and there has been one more case reported in 1890. These "outbreaks" are to my mind easily accounted for, I am of opinion that they are brought about by the Chinese Brokers at Singapore, who desire to re-establish what was to them a lucrative business, and in order to accomplish this they endeavour to bring direct emigration into disrepute. They have their emissaries on board the ship, and these succeed in stiring up the coolies to revolt by telling them that they are being deceived.
13. Whatever safeguards are adopted for the protection of the emigrating Chinese coolies, it will I think always be possible for them to be to some extent circumvented by the wily and unscrupulous Chinese Brokers. I think, however, that if the proposed system of Licensed Boarding Houses, and an Emigration Wharf is established, a severe blow will be dealt to these rascals, and I have hope that when the system is adopted, we shall hear little about real Emigration abuses.
REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.
14. During the year, six vessels of 1,694 tons were registered under the provisions of The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, and seven Certificates of Registry were cancelled. Return No. XVIII shows the
remainder of the work done in this Branch.
MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.
15. Fifty-three cases were heard in this Court during the year. (11) were the principal offences in the case of ships, and Throwing Leaving without Clearance (6) in the case of Junks.
Refusal of duty (17), and Assault Ballast into the Harbour (9), and

SEAMEN.
18. 9,822 seamen were shipped and 10,069 were discharged at the Shipping Office and on board ships during the year.
19. 238 distressed seamen were received during the year. Of these, 44 were sent to United Kingdom, 21 were sent elsewhere and 173 obtained employment. $4,390.40 were expended by the Board of Trade in the relief of these men and $223.13 by this Colony.
MARINE SURVEYOR'S SUB-DEPARTMENT.
20. Return No. XXIII shews a continued increase in the work of this Dapartment. 1,127 visits were made by the Government Marine Surveyor to vessels under survey.
LIGHTHOUSES.
21. The three Lighthouse Stations have been maintained as usual during the year. In May, an alteration was made in the nature of the Green Island Light, the red shades were dispensed with, and a bright light is now exhibited all round except over the Kellett's Bank. A light vessel has also been kept up on Kellett's Bank to mark the spot where eight Junks laden with stones have been sunk as an experiment with the object of finding out if the obstruction thus caused will result in a "silting up on the Bank. I do not anticipate much result from the experiment.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MAY, 1890.
A
22. Some little difficulty has been experienced with the Chinese Staff of the Lighthouses. After being trained to their work of watch-keeping in the lantern, they frequently find the duty too irksome and laborious, and leave, with or without permission, as most convenient to themselves. new man has then to be obtained and his training taken in hand, and with a temperature in the lantern of 83° as it often is in the Summer nights the duty of training these men, which falls on the European Light-keeper, is a very trying one, seeing that he has his own watch to keep besides. Notwithstand- ing this, the lights have been efficiently maintained. I propose, however, recommending that a better class of Chinese shall in future be obtained for the posts of Light-keepers, these to receive higher rates wages than at present, and to give security for the proper performance of their duty, and entering into an agreement to serve for a certain length of time.
BOKHARA ROCKS.
of
23. During the past year, experiments have been made by the Royal Engineers, with the object of determining the practicability or otherwise of blasting a portion of the Bokhara Rocks, so as to obtain a minimum depth over the Rocks of 5 fathoms. These experiments have shewn that without special appliances the operation cannot be successfully carried out. The matter is, however, still receiving attention.
GOVERNMENT GUNPOWDER DEPOT.
24. During the year there has been stored in the Government Magazine at Stone Cutters' Island.

25. The condition of the Magazine is not such as might be desired. For several years, white-ants have been at work in the rafters of the roof, and although their depredations have from time to time been restored the pests themselves have not been got rid of. The eastern outer wall is cracked owing apparently to the subsidence of the foundation. The wharf also is in a state bordering on the "unsafe.
The subject also of excluding the public from the precints of the Magazine is one which, I submit, should receive consideration. At present, this is the only portion of Stone Cutters' Island where the public can land without special "Permit" and when it is considered with what care such like premises are generally guarded, the omission in this case seems to call for remark.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS (OPIUM) OFFICE.

The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the stranding of the British Steam- ship Felbridge, Official Number 95,455 of London, is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 7th June, 1890.
FINDING.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
We find that the British Steam-ship Felbridge, Official No. 95,455 of London, of which JOHN RUTHEN, the number of whose Certificate of Competency as Master is 014,389, issued at South Shields, was Master, left Saigon for Hongkong on the 30th April, with a full cargo of rice and paddy.
That fine weather was experienced and nothing of note took place until the morning of the 3rd May when at about 4.20 the ship struck on the North Shoal, Paracels Group.
That she remained fast until the 6th about 9 A.M. when as a result of jettisoning about 400 tons of cargo she came off, and as the vessel was not making more water than could be kept under by the pumps the Master determined to proceed on his voyage and arrived at Hongkong on the 8th May.
It appears from the evidence before the Court that at 3.40 P.M. on the 2nd, an observation for longitude was made by the Master and the result of this observation, the Master states, was to place the ship in longitude 110°.42' E. the latitude at noon on that day being 14°.50' N. From this position, a course of N. E. was steered with the intention, the Master states, of passing from 17 to 18 miles West of North Shoal.
On reference to Admiralty Chart No. 2661A, however, it is found that a course of N. E. laid off 17 or 18 miles West of the Shoal and cutting the latitude which it is stated was obtained at noon, viz., 14.50 N. and which it may be assumed was correct, gives a longitude of 110°.50′ E. or 10 miles East of. the position determined by the Captain for noon of that day. Again working back from this position and allowing a N. by E. course from noon of the previous day, it appears that a current of 33 miles in 24 hours or about 1.3 per hour to the Eastward was experienced between noon of the 1st and noon of the 2nd. The ship struck on North Shoal 16 hours after the noon observation of the 2nd during which period if the current before experienced had continued the ship would be set rather more than 20 miles to the Eastward, and as the course steered was to take her only 17 or 18 miles to the West- ward of the Shoal, this set would place her directly on it.
The Master states that the first day after leaving he experienced a set of 6 miles to the Westward in 20 hours, but the following day, he found a slight set to the Eastward. He does not appear, however, to have noticed when laying down his position on the 2nd that, even assuming his deter- mined longitude to be correct, he had experienced a set of 20 miles to the Eastward.
It thus appears that the casualty was brought about through due allowance not being made for
a current which with more careful observation would have been apparent.
Speaking generally, the evidence shows that the method of conducting the navigation of the Felbridge was not conducive to the detection of errors. The Master relied almost entirely on his own unchecked observations, and the Mate accepted without investigation the Master's result, and the Log as kept by the Mate was useless and for all practical purposes might have been altogether dispensed
with.
The Court cannot fail to notice that this want of provision for the careful conduct of the ship extended also to the manning of the Felbridge. She was a vessel of 1,336 tons Register and had, apart from her Engine Room staff, a total of only 11 all told. The evidence of the Mate as to the distribution of duty amongst the 3 hands of his watch shows a state of things which may be said to court casualty.
After careful consideration of the circumstances above stated, the Court are of opinion that the casualty was caused by the wrongful default of the Master in that he navigated his vessel with insuffi- cient care and neglected to allow for the set of the current in verifying the position of his vessel from time to time on the course set; and they therefore direct that his certificate be suspended for a period of three months from this date.
The Court also desires to express an opinion that the Mate, GEORGE DAY, who holds a Certificate of Competency as Master No. 016,140, issued at Bristol, is deserving of censure for the careless manner in which he performed his duty of keeping the Log and his neglect to acquaint himself of conditions under which the ship was being navigated.
Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 30th day of May, 1890.

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 Furnames, will be published and sold separately.

The Attorney General moved that at the end of Section 28 the following be added "Provided that if a Bill has been considered and reported on by a Standing Committee it shall, with the assent of the President, suffice if instead of reading the whole of each clause, the marginal notes alone be read by the Clerk in Committee of the whole Council."
After discussion it was agreed to postpone the matter to allow the Attorney General to frame a clause on this principle. After further discussion it was agreed that Section 53 be amended by insert- ing after word" Colony" in the 4th line the words "and in one Chinese Newspaper."
The Council then resumed.
Honourable P. RYRIE, pursuant to notice. asked the following question
If the Executive will furnish the Council with any information in regard to the reported defalca-
tion in the Money Order Department of the Colony.
In
His Excellency replied--Honourable Members are aware, as indeed we are all aware, that an official connected with the Post Office Department named BARRADAS disappeared from the Colony some time since. Shortly after he left I considered it my duty to cause an enquiry to be made into the alleged defalcations. Such enquiry has been made, and from the report that I received up to the present time, I regret to say that these defalcations do amount approximately to the sum that has been mentioned in the local newspapers, about $46,000. Steps were taken to arrest Mr. BARRADAS and he has actually been arrested, and I trust that before long he will be brought back to this Colony. these circumstances, I feel sure that Honourable Members will not expect me now to enter into details connected with this matter. It would not be fair towards one who, if he comes back here, will in all probability be proceeded against for a criminal offence. I may say this, however, that those whom I appointed to enquire into this matter have made certain suggestions in regard to the Post Office which will have my most careful consideration. So soon as I am able to arrive at a conclusion as to what should be done in connection with this matter, and I am at liberty to make further statements, I shall be happy to answer any further questions that inay be put.
Honourable P. RYRIE, pursuant to notice, asked the following question :---
If it is the intention of the Government to take any steps in regard to the celebration of the Jubilee
Day of the foundation of the Colony.
His Excellency replied-In answer to this question I may say that the Government consider that if any celebration takes place in this Colony in connection with its Jubilee that such should take place next year. There can be no doubt that this Colony became a British possession in 1841. In the year 1842 a treaty was passed which confirmed what had previously taken place, and in the year 1843 a charter was granted establishing this possession as a British Colony, but there can be no doubt that this Colony really became English territory when it was taken, in 1841. Now as regards the question whether any celebration should take place, I consider myself that it is not one with regard to which suggestions should come from the Government. If the public in this Colony consider that the occasion is one upon which any festivities should take place, I am quite sure that the Government would be only too happy to receive any suggestions that may be made in that direction. We know perfectly well that for all such festivities a great deal of public money is necessarily expended, and it is rather for the public to move that such expenditure should take place than for the Governinent to propose it. If any Honourable Member can ascertain what are the wishes of the public in this matter and forwards any conclusion he may arrive at to the Government, I am quite sure that the Government will be most happy to consider any suggestion that may be made on the part of those through whose enterprise and industry the Colony has become as prosperous as it is to-day.

INSTRUCTIONS
ΤΟ
SUPERINTENDENTS OF MERCANTILE MARINE OFFICES.
"Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act, 1869."
The annexed Order in Council, dated the 19th day of August, 1889, revokes all Orders previously issued relating to Colonial Certificates of Competency, and further amends and consolidates all the regulations now in force relating to their use, issue, delivery, cancellation, and suspension.
It will be necessary for the Superintendent to bear in mind that every Certificate to which the Order in Council refers--
1. Will be on parchment.
2. Will be as nearly as possible similar in shape and form to the Imperial Certificates of Compe-
tency.
3. Will have the name of the Possession in which it is granted inserted prominently both on its
back and face.
4. Will bear the number accorded to it in the consecutive order in which it was granted in the
Possession.
The Registrar General of Seamen will furnish the Superintendents with Lists of such Certificates granted from time to time in the various Possessions, as well as of those suspended, cancelled, and improperly granted.
The genuineness of a Certificate not mentioned in the Registrar General of Seamen's List of Certificates granted, or not showing upon its face a compliance with the above conditions, may be questioned.
Colonial Certificates will have to be used, produced, and delivered at the times and on the occasions at and on which Imperial Certificates of Competency would have to be used, produced, and delivered. Upon first presentation of a Colonial Certificate in the United Kingdom the Superintendent will stamp it with his Office stamp, and report its number, date, grade, owner's name, and the Colony, to the Registrar of Seamen.
A Colonial Certificate once stamped in the United Kingdom is not to be again stamped at the same or any other Mercantile Marine Office, but no notice need be taken of any Colonial Stamp which may be found upon it.
As the Colonial Certificates of Competency referred to in the said Order in Council are to have the same force as the similar Certificates granted by the Board of Trade, such a Colonial Certificate must be accepted as occupying in every respect the place of one of the latter, and as entitling its bona fide holder to act in the capacity stated in it, or any inferior (but not a superior) capacity, in any British ship all over the world without the possession of a Board of Trade Certificate.
The Superintendent will, regarding the Colonial Certificate in this light, be careful to see that the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts of 1854 and 1862 are strictly complied with.
When it appears from a Certificate (Imperial or Colonial) officially produced to the Superintendent that its owner possesses other Certificates, their production also should be required, and if they are not produced, their owner's explanation in writing should be demanded, and forwarded to the Registrar General of Seamen with the least possible delay.
Superintendents are empowered, by Regulation 10 attached to the Order in Council, to demand, and if necessary detain, any such Colonial Certificate which they have reason to believe has been im- properly issued, or has been forged, altered, cancelled, suspended, or to which the person using it is not justly entitled.
Whenever this power is exercised, a report of the facts and circumstances, together with the Certificate itself, must be sent by the Superintendent to the Registrar General of Seamen with the least possible delay.
548
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH JUNE, 1890.
As the withdrawal of a Certificate would in some cases entail inconvenience, not only upon its possessor but also upon the owners of the ship and cargo, the Superintendent should be careful not to demand a Certificate, or to continue its detention, except when the evidence is perfectly clear.
Every case of death of a Colonial Certificate-holder which may come to the Superintendent's know- ledge should be reported to the Registrar General of Seamen without delay.
These instructions must be understood as having reference only to the Certificates referred to in the said Order in Council.

1. To declare that the said Certificates shall be of the same force as if they had been granted under

And that upon the publication in the London Gazette of any such Order in Council as last afore- said, the provisions therein contained shall, from a date to be mentioned for the purpose in such Order, take effect as if they had been contained in the Act, and that it shall be lawful for Her Majesty in Council to revoke any Order made as aforesaid :
And whereas by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, it is provided that Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, revoke, alter, or add to any Order in Council made by Her under the Merchant Shipping Acts:
And whereas by the Orders in Council of the 15th September, 1887, and the 17th day of March, 1888, Her Majesty was pleased to declare that, subject to certain exceptions, conditions, and regula- tions therein contained or set out in the Schedules thereto, the Colonial Certificates granted as follows, viz.:

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

This Standard Work on theChinese 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 Cantonesc, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.
A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

The following Report of the Director of the Observatory, for the year 1889, which was laid before the Legislative Council on the 23rd instant, is published for general information.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th June, 1890.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY,
24th April, 1890.
SIR.-My fifth volume of observations and researches was published early in spring last year
and I have the honour to submit herewith my sixth volume in manuscript as ordered by His Excellency the Governor. It consists in addition to this, the annual departmental report, of the usual annual synopsis of meteorological and magnetic means and extremes. Then follow the usual twelve monthly reports for 1889, as ordered by the Secretary of State, on 120 pages. Appendix 4. contains hourly readings of tides for 1887 and 1888 as well as the mean sea level obtained therefrom.
2. Curves from the automatic tide-gauge for 1889 are available and will be read off whenever assistants can be spared for such work.
3. Owing to the necessity of having meteorological observations made hourly from 7a. till 10p. inclusive and work connected with weather intelligence, storm-warnings, and tidal observations, which have been by degrees added by me with the approval of the Governor to the work ordered by the Secretary of State, and none of which latter may be discontinued, the staff is so hard worked that I ventured last summer to call His Excellency's attention to the necessity for appointing another European as chief assistant. His assistance would also be available during bad weather connected with typhoons, when as a rule the native assistants desert, as might be expected from them, and he would assist in collecting information about typhoons. Such an appointment would enable His Excellency to grant leaves of absence to which the officials are entitled. This is at present impossible without stop- ping some of the work, as substitutes cannot be found to act for half of the small salaries available.
4. Direct and efficient telegraphic connection with the Telegraph Companies' Offices in Queen's Road and also with the station at Victoria Peak, which are absolutely necessary for the issue of local storm-warnings, have been ordered and will probably be ready for use during next typhoon-season.
5. Very important returns are received monthly from South Cape (Formosa),-the most important meteorological station in the Far East. Telegraphic information from there would make a great advance in the storm-warnings but the necessary connections have not yet been established by the Chinese authorities. Meantime I receive messages from Anping, which although irregular and liable to inter- ruption are of some importance. Returns from South Cape would not only furnish negative evidence in case of typhoons in the China Sea but would enable the isobars to be projected more exactly. It is to be remarked that observations made in Formosa and in Luzon are generally of comparatively inferior value owing to wind-deflection caused by the high mountain-chains, that form the backbones of those islands. This is more especially the case in Northern Formosa and telegrams from there would be only misleading but as proved in my paper in Nature referred to below, the returns from South Cape are usually not at all affected by the hills. For the exact determination of the situation of the centre of a typhoon raging in the China Sea, the latter should be by degrees surrounded by telegraphic reporting stations.
6. During a stay in June in the Government Pavilions at the Peak, which I had not before visited, I made observations, which shewed the importance of the signal-station for meteorological records but unfortunately also indicated that those kept there at present are not at all sufficient. I introduced some minor improvements and reported to the Governor concerning the extension required. His Excellency took my suggestions into consideration but deferred the final decision. The case is that a certain kind of typhoons is indicated much earlier at the Peak than in the Observatory, near sea level, so that information from there would be a great help for the issue of early warnings. This has been fully explained in the paper in Nature referred to below.
7. A self-recording anemometer, rain-gauge, and sunshine recorder (duplicates of the apparatus in Hongkong) have been erected by the Imperial Maritime Customs at South Cape, Formosa, and the curves are received regularly. A similar station is wanted at the Peak. Major-General PALMER, R.E., foresaw this many years ago and recommended an anemograph in his ably written report.
8. Some further information concerning the typhoons of 1888 has been collected, but the data are not yet complete. With reference to the past year in addition to observations made at over 40 stations on shore, the logs of 93 different vessels containing entries on 1216 days (counting those made on board different ships on the same date separately) are available. A number of log-books have of course been looked through without entries bearing on typhoons having been found. By order of His Excellency the Admiral, Commander-in-Chief, a copy of all meteorological observations made on board men-of-war belonging to the squadron stationed in these seas are sent to the Observ- atory and Commanders of foreign vessels of war send such observations as are requested direct or through the Commodore.-86 log-books or extracts of log-books were received through the Harbour Master's Office, 44 direct from the Captains or Owners, and 5 were copied on board ship in the harbour. Owing to the illness of one of the assistants it was impossible for me to have log-books inspected on board ship since October, so that the information available is not yet complete.
602
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JUNE, 1890.
9. Information has been supplied to the Royal Engineers, the Royal Navy, the Imperial Maritime Customs of China, the Public Works and the Medical Departments, the Harbour Office and to masters of vessels trading in the Chinese Seas.
10. All necessary repairs to buildings were inade by the Public Works Department last autumu. and the Honourable ?. BROWN, Surveyor General, introduced several improvements of great value, but the building is at present too small for the purpose. This is a serious drawback, as it lessens the amount of work that can be done here. Even the transit-room has to be used for tabulation and drawing.
11. Among scientific men who visited the Observatory may be mentioned Professors MICHIE SMITH and S. A. HILL from India and Mr. WADA from Tokio.
12. The sudden snap of cold weather that set in during November caused a great deal of sickness in Kowloon and it became nearly impossible to continue the records without interruption.
13. The following papers were published in Europe in the course of the past year:--
6
"The Law of Storms in China," (Nature, Vol. XXXIX, p. 301).
Rainfall in China in 1888," (Quart. Journ. R. Met. Sac. Vol. XV, No. 72.)
"Sunshine in Formosa in 1888."
66
Meteorological Observations made at Ichang and South Cape in 1888.'
"Mean pressure of the air in Iloilo" (Philippines) (Meteorologische Zeitschrift. VI p. 156). A larger investigation of the climate of Hongkong from five years' observations on which much work has been expended is now nearly ready for press besides some papers of minor importance. Professor HANN in Vienna, who had previously published monthly means of air-pressure in Hongkong in which several years of observations made by the Royal Engineers were added to the series given in "Observations and Researches made during the year 1884" and who has also harmonically analysed the hourly means of air-pressure obtained during the last few years, has published an investigation of the rainfall in Hongkong on the basis of the hourly readings taken here from the beginning of 1884 till the end of 1888.
14. The volunteer, who last year contributed observations of crepuscular rays, observed during a portion of the past year the spectroscopic rain-band every morning at 10a. The figures from the 12th June till the 8th July were entered on the Peak. By comparing the intensity of the baud (0-5) with the rainfall during the subsequent 24 hours, printed in inches and decimals beside the intensity of the rainband, it was noticed that intensities 0 and 1 forecast absence of rain very accurately, and that intensities 4 and 5 forecast as a rule very wet weather, the latter indication moreover being frequently followed by great thunderstorms, that cannot be otherwise forecast from local observations. The following record from which the annual variation of the band is seen to be great, is therefore interesting.

16. As stated in the time-ball notice published in the Government Gazette on the 10th January, 1885, the ball is not dropped on Sundays and on Government Holidays. The ball was dropped every working day during the past year except on the 28th February, when it failed to drop owing to the spring in the lock not being tight enough, on the 3rd of May, when it failed owing to a broken wire in the reversing galvanometer, on the 11th November, when in failed owing to the discharging battery working badly, and on the 20th December, when it failed owing to the spring in the lock not being tight enough. On the 29th and 30th May and on the 17th June the ball was not hoisted on account of thunderstorms, and on the 16th October owing to the absence of all the native assistants on account of bad weather.----On July 23rd the ball was not hoisted owing to the failure of one of the switches.- On the 13th June the ball could not be hoisted as it jammed against the mast and from the 21st to the 29th October it was under repair because the top of the ball was torn by the mast being out of shape, which was apparently due to the constant action of more or less strong monsoon.-New switches have been procured, new batteries have been ordered and it is intended to procure a new reversing galvano- meter, as the old one requires to have all the covered wires renewed.

17. The probable errors of the signal in the different months of 1889 (with the average percentage of clouded sky added in parenthesis) were as follows:----
January 0.24 (86), February 0.13 (62), March 0.23 (94), April 0.28 (84), May 0.20 (81), June 0.09 (76), July 0.12 (50), August 0.12 (63), September 0.13 (57), October (5.10 (57), November 0.20 (62), December 09.16 (60).-The mean of the probable errors was 0.17.
=
*
18. During the past five years the time-ball has been dropped 1465 times, or
dropped 1465 times, or perhaps about 1500 times if the experiments be taken into account.-An error of less than 0.15 occurred 804 times, of 0.2 249 times, of 0.3 = 142 times, of 0.4 = 88 times, of 0.5 = 61 times, of 0.6 = 36 times, of 0.7 = 30 times, of 0.8 16 times, of 0.9 = 15 times, of 1.0 = 9 times, of 1.1 = 5 times, of 1.2 = 3 times, of 1.3 = 3 times, of 1.4 = 1 time, of 1.5 2 times, of 15.6 = 1 time. From this distri- bution of errors it appears that the accuracy of the signal has been under-estimated. In the calculation in fact all errors less than 0.15 have been taken as equal to 0.1 :-With the value of the probable error 0.15, which follows from the figures, we obtain for the frequency of errors less than 0.15 = 733, of 0.2 = 350, of 0.3 = 213, of 0.4 = 106, of 0.5 = 43, of 0.6 = 15, of 0.7 = 4, of 0.8 = 1.- The occurence of errors more than five times as large as the probable error is cominon enough in practice although it is not explained by the theory of least squares in the form in which it is given in
the text books.
19. As stated in the "Instructions for making Meteorological Observations, etc." meteorological instruments forwarded by observers who regularly send their registers this Observatory, are verified here free of cost. During the past year, the following number of instruments was verified and certi- ficates issued:-Barometers = 3, Thermometers = 6. The index errors of barometers read off on board ship are determined whenever required by comparing readings made near this port with the barograms.
20. In the "China Coast Meteorological Register," based on information transmitted by the Eastern Extension, the Great Northern and the Imperial Chinese Telegraph Companies, which was daily published is given a summary of the atmospheric circumstances in the Far East. It contains also in- formation concerning the first appearance and progress of typhoons and gives an account of all storm- warnings issued.
21. From 3.30 p. on the 29th of May till the same time on the 30th there fell 22.535 inches of rain. This occurred during thunderstorms of unusually great duration. The floods caused by the rain proved a disaster to the Colony. Roads and streets were cut up, retaining walls carried away, sewers burst and houses undermined, but only few persons were killed by the lightning.

22. At the Observatory the cisterns of the barograph and standard barometer are placed 109 feet above mean sea level. The bulbs of the thermometers are rotated 108 feet above mean sea level and 4 feet above the grass. The solar radiation thermometer is placed at the same height The rim of the rain-gauge is 105 feet above mean sea level and 21 inches above the ground. At Victoria Peak the instruments, except the solar radiation thermometer and the rain-gauge are placed in the lookout. The cistern of the barometer is 1814 feet above sea level. The bulbs of the thermometers are 4 feet above the floor except the maximum thermometer, which is a few inches higher. The rim of the rain-gauge is 8 inches in diameter and one foot above the ground.
23. The monthly Weather Reports are arranged as follows:-
Table I. exhibits the hourly readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water but not to sea level, as measured (at two minutes to the hour named) from the barograms.
Tables II. and III. exhibit the hourly readings of the temperature of the air, and of the temperature of evaporation as determined from readings of thermometers exposed in a suitable shelter, and as measured from the thermograms. All readings are reduced to the rotating thermometers by comparisons made every three hours.
Table II exhibits also the extreme temperatures during the day reduced to the rotating thermometer by aid of comparisons made during the hottest and coldest part of the day. Table III. exbibits also the solar radiation (black bulb in vacuo) maximum temperature reduced to the Kew arbitrary standard.
Table IV. exhibits the mean relative humidity in percentage of saturation and mean tension of water vapour present in the air expressed in inches of mercury for every hour in the day and for every day in the month calculated by aid of Blanford's tables from the data in Tables II and III.
Table V. exhibits the duration of sunshine expressed in hours from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour (true time) named.
Table VI. exhibits the amount of rain in inches registered from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named. It exhibits also the duration of rain estimated at the Observatory. The rain- fall at Victoria Peak is measured at 10a. and entered to preceding day, but it is evident that the observer does not attend to the gauge every day.
Table VII. exhibits the velocity of the wind in miles and its direction in points (0-31). The velocity of the wind is measured from half an hour before to half an hour after the hour named; but the direction is read off at the hour except when it is very light and changeable, in which case the average direction during the hour is estimated, taking into account the velocity from different quarters. The direction is not noted when the velocity is below 1.5 miles an hour. The vane is to be depended on except when the velocity is uniform (which of course rarely happens) and below 3 miles an hour.
Table VIII. exhibits for every hour in the day the mean velocity of the wind reduced to 4 as well as to 2 directions, according to strictly accurate formula, and also the mean direction of the wind. The method made use of during the past five years has been abandoned as it does not furnish the mean direction for every day, which latter is this year given in Table VII.
Table IX. exhibits the readings of the barometer reduced to freezing point of water but not to sea level, and of the thermometers, and the observations of the direction to two points) and force (0-12) of the wind at Victoria Peak.
Where
Table X. exhibits the amount (0-10), name and direction whence coming of the clouds. the names of upper and lower clouds are given but only one direction, this refers to the lower clouds.
24. The following annual weather report for 1889 is arranged as follows:-
Table IV. exhibits the mean values for the year (or hourly excess above this) obtained from the means given in the monthly reports. The mean hourly intensity of rain is obtained from Table VI. of the monthly reports in connection with Table V of this report. The total amount of rain was 119.715 at the Observatory and 133.32 at the Peak. The total duration registered at the Observatory was 905 hours. There fell at least 0.01 inch of rain on 161 days at the Observatory. The figure 108 given for the Peak is evidently inaccurate.
Table V. exhibits the number of hours during a portion of which at least 0.005 inch of rain was registered.
Table VI. exhibits the total distance traversed by as well as the direction and average velocity of winds from bi-quadrantal points, obtained from the tables published on the first page of each monthly report.
Table VII. exhibits the number of days on which certain meteorological phenomena were regis- tered and also the total number of thunderstorms noted in the neighbourhood during the past year.
Table VIII. shows the frequency of clouds of the different classes.
Table IX. is arranged the same as last year.

Table X. exhibits the monthly and annual extremes. The extremes given for humidity and vapour tension can be regarded as only approximate as the hourly values are not calculated.
Table XI. contains the five-day means.
25. The following table exhibits the differences between the monthly mean components (exactly computed) and direction of the wind given in Table VIII. of the monthly reports and those computed by the methods used in the five years 1884-1888, and explained in previous reports; the exact values minus the approximate values :----

26. Magnetic Observations made during the year 1889:-
The observations of Declination and Horizontal Force were made with the Unifilar Magnetometer, Elliott Brothers, No. 55, and the Dips were observed with Dip Circle Dover, No. 71.
2
The methods adopted in making the observations and in determining and applying the corrections are explained in Appendix G. of Obs. and Res. made in 1885: "On the verification of the Unifilar Magnetometer, Elliott Brothers, No. 55." The value of log. II' K. was 3.44944 at 20° Cent., and the value of P was + 7.596. The mean value of the magnetic moment of the vibrating needle was 0.47487 in British Units and 619.97 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 British Units (one foot, one grain, one second), and in Gauss's Units (one millimeter, one milligram, one second).
27. Dr. C. Schrader explains in his report on the magnetic survey of German New Guinea that the constants of his magnetometer were determined from comparisons made at the observatories in Hongkong, Washington and Wilhelmshafen. The comparisons made in Batavia did not agree as far as the horizontal intensity was concerned.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 27th May, 1890.
SIR, I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education for the year 1889. 2. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS.-The total number of Educational Institutions of all descriptions, known to have been at work in the Colony of Hongkong during the year 1889, amounts to 211 Schools with a grand total of 9,681 scholars under instruction during the year. More than three-fourths of the whole number of scholars, that is to say 7,659 scholars, attended Schools (106 in number) subject to Government supervision and either established or aided by the Government in some form or other. The remainder, viz. 107 Schools with 2,022 scholars, are Private Institutions. entirely independent of Government supervision and receiving no aid from public funds, unless it be that they are exempt from payment of rates and taxes.
3. GENERAL STATISTICS OF SCHOOLS UNDER THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.-Apart from the Police School, with 477 scholars and the Roman Catholic Reformatory with 75 scholars, both of which Schools are exempt from the control of the Education Department, the total number of Schools subject to direct supervision and annual examination by the Inspector of Schools, amounted, in the year 1889, to 104. as compared with 50 in 1879, and 19 in 1869. The total number of scholars, enrolled in this same class of Schools during the year 1889, amounted to 7,107 as compared with 3,460 scholars in the year 1879 and 942 scholars in the year 1869. In other words, there has been an increase of 31 Schools and 2,518 scholars during the ten years from 1869 to 1879, and an increase of 54 Schools and 3,647 scholars during the ten years from 1879 to 1889. This increase is satisfactory on the face of it, but the rate of increase, like all educational statistics, can be valued only by comparison with the statistics. of population. Unfortunately we have no population statistics of equal accuracy, but approximately estimating the annual increase of population, we may say the population of the Colony amounted in 1869 to about 120,000 people, in 1879 to about 155,000 and in 1889 to about 220,000 people, thus shewing an increase of about 34,000 people, to be compared with an increase of 31 Schools and 2,518 scholars, during the first decade, and an increase of about 65,000 people, to be compared with an increase, of 54 Schools and 3,647 scholars during the second decade. It would seem therefore that the decennial increase of Schools and scholars during the last twenty years has, though somewhat lagging behind, shewn a tendency to keep up with the progressive increase of population, and is, on the whole, satisfactory.
4. PROGRESS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS.--Comparing the statistics of individual years, I find the number of Schools under supervision and examination by the Inspector of Schools rose from 94 Schools in 1887, and 97 Schools in 1888, to 104 Schools in 1889, whilst the number of scholars under instruction in these same Schools rose from 5,974 scholars in 1887, and 6,258 scholars in 1888, to 7,107 scholars in 1889. There is therefore clearly a steady annual increase observable during the last three years, progressing from an increase of 284 scholars in 1888 to an increase of 849 scholars in
1889.

5. COMPARATIVE STATISTICS OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS.-The Schools under the general supervision of the Education Department may be divided into Government Schools and Voluntary Schools. Under the term Government Schools are included all the Schools established by the Government in the town and villages independently or in concert with village communities and supported by the Government by means of fixed monthly payments independent of results ascertained by examination. Under the term Voluntary Schools I include all those Public Schools under private management, which have been voluntarily placed by their Managers under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Code and consequently under general supervision and examination by the Inspector of Schools and which, whilst providing their own expenses, receive from the Government an annual Grant-in-Aid, the amount of which depends, in the case of each School, on the definitive results ascertained at the annual examination of each individual scholar. These two classes of Schools are further characterized by the fact that the Government Schools, as afore defined, are virtually secular Schools, whilst the afore mentioned Voluntary Schools are all Christian Schools (Protestant or Roman Catholic). Referring now to the 7,107 scholars who, as above mentioned, attended, during the year 1889, Schools under the supervision of the Education Department, there were as many as 4,814 of these scholars attending Voluntary Schools where they received a Christian. education, whilst 2,293 scholars attended Government Schools, receiving a secular education. The secular
628

Government Schools are as a rule better provided for, than the Voluntary religious Schools, as regards money matters, house accommodation, school materials, staff, organisation and discipline, and, where charging fees, keep their fees far below the rate charged in Voluntary Schools of a corresponding class. Nevertheless the Voluntary Schools, which freely teach Christianity without the restraint of any con- science clause whatsoever, and are in every respect conducted as denominational Mission Schools, receive from the public double the amount of patronage bestowed on Government Schools. This clearly shews that parents of children, in Hongkong as in Europe, prefer on the whole religious to secular education, even when the latter is cheaper. I subjoin a table shewing the comparative growth of secular Government Schools and religious Voluntary Schools since the time (1873) when the Grant-in-Aid Scheme was introduced in the Colony. In explanation of the changes revealed by the subjoined Table, I have to state that from 1845 to 1865 all the Government Schools in the Colony were worked under a Committee or Board in which Protestant Missionaries had a paramount influence, as strictly Christian Schools, the Bible being, during those twenty, years, a reading book of all Government Schools. Shortly after the abrogation of the Board of Education and the consequent establishment of the Education Department (in 1865), all Christian teaching was excluded from the Government Schools, the Government confining itself to promote purely secular education (though Confucianism, Tauism and Buddhism could not be eliminated from the Chinese School-books) and giving no aid whatever to Christian Mission Schools, down to the year 1872. Even when the Government at last, stimulated by Forster's Education Act of 1870, offered Grants-in-Aid to Christian Mission Schools, the Grants were limited to payments for results ascertained in purely secular and elementary subjects. Voluntary Schools thus began in 1873 to come under the supervision of the Education Department, but their numbers and attendances were very small. In 1879, however, the Revised Grant-in-Aid Scheme came into force, giving the Voluntary Schools absolute liberty to give religious teaching in every school-hour and extending its provisions to Secondary as well as to Primary Schools, and from that year the proportion of scholars attending Government Schools and Voluntary Schools became gradually reversed. With these prefatory remarks I leave the subjoined comparative Table to speak for itself.

6. EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE OF THE GOVERNMENT.-The expenses incurred by the Govern- ment during the year 1889, on account of education in general, amounted (including the expenses connected with two Government Scholarships, but excluding the cost of new School buildings) to a total of $53,901.86 (as compared with $45,518.93 in the year 1888) or $6.58 per scholar (as com- pared with $7.27 per scholar in 1888). These expenses were distributed as follows. The Govern- ment Victoria College (the former Central School) with 919 scholars cost the Government (apart from cost of Building which amounted to an aggregate of over a quarter of a million dollars) $15,018.20 or $16.34 per scholar enrolled. The expenses of the other Government Schools (including the Aided Village Schools), attended by 1,374 scholars, amounted in the year 1889 to $10,566.66 or $7.69 per scholar. On the Voluntary Schools, with 4,814 scholars, the Government spent, in the year 1889, under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, the sum of $18,737.12 or $3.89 per scholar. This com- parison, however, is only based on the financial status which each kind of Schools occupies, and indicates therefore no more but that a development of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme rather than a multiplication of Government Schools should be looked to for meeting the annually increasing demands made upon the financial resources of the Government to supply an annually increasing population with Schools. Comparing, however, the cost of education in Schools giving the same education, say in the case of Schools giving a European education in a European (English or Portuguese) language, the result is as follows: the cost of education, so far as the Government was concerned, was, in the Victoria College

629
$16.34 per scholar; in six Government Anglo-Chinese Schools (charging no fees) $4.71 and in 14 Grant-in-Aid Schools (in Class IV) $5.16 per scholar. To bring the comparison home more closely, and to compare only Schools which give exactly the same kind of teaching and charge fees, I subjoin a Table shewing in the case of the five principal Schools in Hongkong which give a secondary educa- tion in English, the nationality of scholars, the staff, the subjects taught in the highest classes, the number of scholars enrolled, the total cost to Government per School, and the cost to Government per scholar enrolled in 1889.

7. NATURE OF THE EDUCATION GIVEN.-As to the nature of the education given in the Schools under the supervision of the Education Department, no material change has taken place in the year 1889. In the purely Chinese Schools there is now a general tendency to add Arithmetic as an extra subject, as well as Geography, to the ordinary pensum of these Schools and ere long we shall find the standard of education given in these Schools, the vast majority of which are Christian Schools under Missionary agency, considerably raised above the type of an ordinary Chinese Village School, which was their former character. In the semi-Chinese Schools, giving a European education in the Chinese language, the use of the Romanized system is gradually becoming confined to the lower classes, and the teaching of classical Chinese is making a steady advance from year to year.
In the Anglo-Chinese and purely English Schools the demand for a higher, secondary, English education has continued to increase in 1889, and manifested itself in a larger proportion of scholars taking up the special subjects of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. There is a general desire in these secondary Schools to have a seventh Standard added to the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, as the highest class in each of these Schools is now quite beyond the reach of the Scheme. This question will be taken up on the occasion of the next revision of the Scheme. Among the 104 Schools with a total of 7,107 scholars under the supervision of the Education Department, the proportion of Schools giving a Chinese, semi- Chinese, Portuguese, Anglo-Chinese, or English education in 1889 was as follows:-giving a Chinese education in the Chinese language, 80 Schools with 4,148 scholars, as compared with 77 Schools and 3,986 scholars in 1888; giving a European education in the Chinese language, 3 Schools with 160 scholars, as compared with 2 Schools and 110 scholars in 1888; giving a European education in the Portuguese language, 4 Schools with 236 scholars, as compared with 3 Schools and 211 scholars in 1888; giving an Anglo-Chinese education in the English language, with Chinese teaching in addition, 10 Schools with 1,834 scholars, as compared with 8 Schools and 1,158 scholars in 1858; giving an English education, exclusively in English, 7 Schools with 729 scholars as compared with 7 Schools and 793 scholars in 1888. The increase that has taken place in 1889 amounts therefore to 3 Chinese Schools with 162 scholars, 1 semi-Chinese School with 50 scholars, Portuguese School with 25 scholars, and 2 Anglo-Chinese Schools, with 676 scholars; but against the increase of Anglo-Chinese scholars there appears to be a set-off in form of a decrease of 64 scholars under purely English instruc- tion.
The Portuguese Schools, of which there are now four at work, are making steady progress and bring now children into the higher standards. But the use of the Macao colloquial, with its slovenly habit of substituting in Chinese fashion adverbial phrases for the several tenses and moods of verbs, and in other ways turning the Portuguese language into a Chinese-like patois, causes the
630
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH JULY, 1890.
children great trouble when they reach the higher standards and have to do parsing and analysis according to the rules of the Portuguese Grammar. There is altogether great need for a reform in the vernacular teaching of these Schools, because a slovenly colloquial form of speech, deficient in accidence and syntax, habituates the mind to slovenly thought and deteriorates force of character. If it is ne- cessary for Portuguese children, as I am convinced it is, that they should first learn to express their thoughts in their own language before they commence the study of English, they surely ought to be taught, both in school and at home, to express their thoughts in a grammatically correct form of Portuguese, though it need not be the classical language of CAMOENS.
8. FEMALE EDUCATION.-Female education, though still in a backward condition, continues to extend in scope and to improve as regards the quality of the education given. Among the 2,293 scholars under instruction in Government Schools, during the year 1889, there were indeed only 141 girls as compared with 129 in the year 1888, but in the Grant-in-Aid Schools there were, in 1889, among a total of 4,814 scholars as many as 1,975 girls as compared with 1,787 girls in 1888. There is evidently a steady improvement in the proportion of girls and boys under instruction, but there is yet a great deal to be done before a normal state of things is reached. There are yet vast numbers of girls in the Colony, who do not come under instruction at present, not on account of any deficiency in our educational system, but on account of the usefulness of the children for domestic service. The greatest defaulters in the matter of school attendance are those Chinese girls who are purchased servants, owned by Chinese families and employed within the family as nursery maids. I have in former Reports repeatedly suggested, as the only remedy I can think of, registration of these purchased servant girls, coupled with a regulation that girls so registered should be sent to school for a certain number of years (say as half-timers). But legislation concerning family life is always a delicate and risky matter; moreover class legislation, as this would be, is objectionable as a matter of policy; and to apply the principle of compulsory school attendance, even in this limited form, before we have schools enough to accommodate such girls is evidently premature. But if it were possible to do anything by way of legislation, in some unobjectionable form, say in the direction of applying the root principle of the English Factory Acts to all the various forms of utilizing child labour, rampant in the Colony whether in domestic or extra-mural employment, and without regard to any particular nationality, a most powerful stimulus would be provided to increase school attendance especially among the girls of the Colony. Such a law need not interfere with the rights of parents, but it should limit the rights of the owners of purchased children (without specially mentioning them) by regulat- ing the rights of employers of child labour. The labour of children has, of late, repeatedly been made the subject of legislative enactment in England, by a series of statutes eventually consolidated in the Factory and Workshops Act (1878), ensuring the attendance at school of children employed in factories and workshops, and legislation as to the employment of stage children is at present under public consideration in England. The recognition of the right of the State entirely to prohibit the labour of children under a certain age (now fixed at 10 years) and to regulate the hours and conditions of their employment up to a certain further age (now 14 to 16 years), and the recognition of the duty of the nation to secure at least the rudiments of education to every child subject of the Crown, constitutes the basis of the Factory and Workshops Acts and of the Education Acts. I do not advocate. the introduction in this Colony of a compulsory education law. There is no need for it. But the employ- ment of purchased children in domestic service, and the employment of children in carrying building materials up the hill, and in other forms of public labour, seems to me to call for legislation such as would naturally stimulate the school attendance of children who at present receive no education at all and notably of the female bond-servants permanently sold or temporarily pledged as security for money lent.
9. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The question how to stimulate school attendance generally, so as to reduce the number of children remaining uneducated in the Colony, occupied a good deal of the time and attention of the Government during the year 1889. Apart from the consideration given to the above mentioned question of legislation, arrangements were made by the Registrar General's Department to arouse, through the mediation of the District. Watchmen, the attention of Chinese parents to the necessity of school attendance, and to urge them to send all their children to school. This measure has already caused a considerable increase of attendance, but the fruits of this movement cannot actually be measured until the close of next year. Further also arrangements were made to convert, in the course of next year, all the Aided Schools in the Villages into free Government Schools. These elementary Chinese Village Schools were hitherto aided by the Government by a fixed monthly grant of five dollars, and the villagers were supposed to provide a school house and to supplement the teacher's salary by a monthly payment (in kind) amounting in value to another five dollars. In reality, however, the villagers, in most cases, mulcted the teacher to the extent of one dollar a month as compensation for house rent and threw the remainder of their obligation on the parents of children attending school, who used to pay school fees at the rate of three cents and three catties of rice a month and to provide the school furniture. The consequence was that the inhabitants of the smaller villages, comparatively the poorest class in the Colony, had to pay heavily for elementary Chinese education, whilst in the town and in four of the larger villages elementary Chinese and elementary English education is offered free of any charge, both by Government Schools and by Grant-in-Aid Schools. Arrangements have now been made to give henceforth in all the Village

631
Schools gratuitous elementary instruction, and this measure will no doubt, to a small extent, serve to increase school attendance. The fact that all elementary education will henceforth be given gratis all over the Colony is in itself a step in the right direction and a great gain.
10. RESULTS OF ANNUAL EXAMINATION.-The results of the annual examinations of the Schools under the supervision of the Education Department will be found detailed, as usual, in the Tables (X to XV) appended to this Report, and, as far as the Victoria College is concerned, in the Report of the Headmaster which has been published in the local newspapers in January, 1890. A few supplementary and statistical details, together with some general observations, regarding points brought out by the examination of the various classes of Schools in the Colony, may, however, be of
interest.
11. VICTORIA COLLEGE.-In the case of the Victoria College (which name has now been officially substituted for the former Government Central School), the result of the year's work has been tested as usual by a joint examination conducted by the Headmaster and myself. The exam- inations were conducted by myself only in the case of the Chinese and Anglo-Chinese classes, of English reading, and English and Chinese composition. As regards other subjects and classes, the examination was conducted by printed papers set by the Headmaster and approved by myself. I confined myself to see that the question papers proposed by the Headmaster were of a sufficiently searching character and not entirely confined to the groove in which the teaching had run, also that the standard of proficiency expected of the several classes of the College should not be allowed to fall below that of former years nor below that attained to in similar Schools in the Colony which compete with the Victoria College. The examination was, however, in this case conducted under exceptional circumstances. The transfer of the School in the middle of summer, from the cramped locality of the Old Central School to the new Victoria College Buildings, affording so much larger accommodation, upset all the arrangements of the year and required a new distribution of the scholars among different classes. The consequence was that, at the close of the school year when the examinations were held, about one half of the whole number of scholars in the College were examined
examined on barely half a year's work in the classes to which they were allotted. In view of this circumstance I consented to a slight reduction of the standard applied to the examinations for the year 1889. Owing to this exceptional irregularity, the result, though creditable as a whole, does not admit of a close comparison with the result of former years. This irregularity is not likely to recur in future years. It would also be desirable in future years to bring the examination rules of Victoria College into harmony with those in force in other similar Institutions in the Colony. The printed rules of Victoria College say, "100 marks maximum for each subject; less than 50 fails; a boy who fails in more than half subjects is a total failure." The examination rules for all the other similar Schools in the Colony are more liberal in that they put down a scholar as having failed if he has less than 66 marks (two-thirds), but they are more severe in that they declare a scholar a total failure if he fails in one or two subjects out of five or six. The consequence of this disparity is that it is very difficult to compare the examination results obtained at Victoria College with those obtained at similar secondary Schools under the Grant-in-Aid System. Uniformity of the test applied to the examination of all Schools under Government supervision is manifestly desirable.
The general value of the work done in the year 1889 in the Victoria College, as ascertained by this examination, will be found summarized in the Headmaster's separate Report, but I subjoin the usual Statistical Tables which indicate, in detail, the progress made in the year 1889 by the several divisions and classes of the College. These Tables speak for themselves. The following points require however special mention. The English composition papers in Classes I, IIA, and IIIB, and especially the papers on Shakespeare and English history in Class I were remarkably good, considering that the vast majority of the scholars in these Classes are boys who never hear English spoken out of school hours. But the examination in English dictation, which is of nearly equal importance, gave unsatisfactory results in Classes I and II, as in Class I half and in Class II one-third of the boys failed in this subject. Classes IIB and IVA deserve special praise for their translation papers (English into Chinese), and Class IIA for the solid attain:nents exhibited in Arithmetic, Algebra and Grammar. In the latter subject Classes VIA and VIIA did very fair work, and the whole of Class VIII in Arithmetic. The teaching in the Anglo-Chinese Classes of the College has shown considerable improvement as compared with former years, but the examination of the Chinese Classes throughout the College continues from year to year to show poor results. In the three highest Classes of the College, attendance at Chinese lessons has been dispensed with several years ago, under the supposition that the boys will continue to keep up their Chinese knowledge by private study. But the translation papers of these Classes appear to me to indicate that most of the boys neglect their Chinese studies entirely, as they exhibit a lament- able amount of retrogression. I am in doubt, however, if it would be wise to interfere in this matter by demanding some proof of the continuation of Chinese studies, as I fear it would lead to over-pressure. The introduction of Shakespeare, Trigonometry and Mensuration, in addition to the ordinary school pensum of Class I, and Latin in Classes I, II and III, is in itself sufficient to cause over-pressure, with the attendant increase of home-work. It is always difficult to determine the limit between an admis- sible amount of work and work necessarily implying over-pressure, and it is highly desirable to err rather on the safe side of the problem, as, under the trying influence of a Hongkong climate, school- life anyhow exercises a visibly weakening effect.

Whilst on the whole fully recognizing the excellency of the organisation, method and dis- cipline of the Victoria College, and without wishing to find fault with the College on either of these points, I would draw the attention of the Authorities of the College to a matter of some importance, viz. to the monitorial and pupil-teacher system adopted in this School. In his Report for 1889, the Headmaster makes the following remarks.
remarks. "A Normal Class and a special examination paper on education and school discipline for pupil teachers and monitors are a new feature of this year. Mr. BOARDS, who has been in charge of these junior assistants in front of the Preparatory Class, is on the whole able to give me only a moderate report, though he speaks highly of one or two pupil teachers. I trust that next year some marked improvement will be observed." Considering that these monitors and pupil teachers received no special teaching with the exception of two hours a week, I considered their examination papers on the whole satisfactory. But the facts I would draw attention to are these. This pupil-teacher system has taken the place of the former Government Normal School. The latter was condemned in the year 1882 for the expressed reasons that "a separate Normal School is not required" and that "when the Central School has been put on a proper footing, the Headmaster will be able to make all necessary arrangements for the training of the limited number of teachers required for the various Schools in the Colony." Evidently the authors of these arguments fully re- cognized the need of trained teachers. Eight years have passed and the question now is, where and how teachers are at present trained in the Colony. In 1885 the Secretary of State approved of a scheme for articling six pupil teachers for a period of three years, to provide efficient Chinese assistant teachers for the Victoria College. In 1887 five Chinese monitors were articled, that is to say, monitors previously drawing pay at the rate of $5 a month, were appointed and did duty as pupil teachers, drawing in the first year $10 and in the second and third years $15 a month, and were then appointed assistant masters at $25 a month, with prospect of eventual further increase up to $50 or $60 a month. They received no special teaching nor training. Before the three years were quite over, five other Chinese monitors were appointed at the same rates of salary, two of them were shortly afterwards promoted to act as assistant masters at $25 a month, one was dismissed for misconduct, and two now temain drawing $15 a month, doing duty as pupil teachers and receiving two hours a week special reaching. The first point, therefore, to which I wish to draw the attention of the Authorities of the College is this, that this system appears to need a radical reform, if it is to produce trained teachers for the use of the College, for at present it appears to be simply a scheme for the gradation of the salaries of the Chinese masters employed in the College. The second point for consideration is this. The pupil teachers are practically recruited from the staff of monitors. To illustrate the working of the monitorial system, I will mention a typical case such as actually occurred and frequently recurs. A boy one year comes out first in Class I.B. At the beginning of the next school year he is
634
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH JULY, 1890.
promoted with the other boys of his Class to Class I.A. but he, being at the head of his Class, is offered a monitorship at $5 a month. Tempted by the money which to him is a great deal, he accepts the post, and has now to devote part of his time to the teaching and supervision of the lower Classes of the College, part to the ordinary lessons of his own Class, and (since 1889) for two hours a week he receives special lessons in the science and art of teaching. As a natural consequence, when the examinations come round at the end of the year, he now takes the lowest place in his class (unless he has been driven to over-pressure to maintain a middling place), and at the next public competitive examination for employment in the Government Service or in the Chinese Customs, he fails. He then offers himself to be articled as pupil teacher and if accepted proceeds as above and is employed as teacher in the three divisions of the Preparatory Class of the College. Now the defects of the system are these. The pupil teacher is a Chinese boy, who never hears English spoken out of school hours, and is naturally deficient as regards English pronunciation and idiom. Moreover his proficiency in the subjects taught in the higher Classes of the College has been impaired by his monitorial duties. But he is set to teach the rudiments of English pronunciation and idiom in the Lower Division of the College. The consequence is first, that the parents of children in the Lower School of the College complain that they have to pay high school fees for a low quality of teaching, and secondly the English Masters in the Upper School of the College complain that they are hampered in their teaching by having to teach the A B C over again. There is, however, a third point for consideration.
What Chinese parents, appreciating an English education, are most anxious for, is that their children should be taught English by Englishmen. For such teaching, if combined with proper method and discipline such as they do get at Victoria College, they are willing to pay the full value. But this present monitorial and pupil- teacher system of the Victoria College puts Chinese into places in the Government Service which ought to be filled by Englishmen or by sons of local English residents, be they non-English Europeans or Portuguese or Indians or Chinese whose mother tongue is English. I do not advocate the exclusion of Chinese from employment in the English Schools of the Colony. On the contrary, I am convinced that, if the promotion of English teaching in the Colony is to depend exclusively on the costly impor- tation of trained teachers from England, unsupplemented by the assistance of trained native (Chinese) teachers of English, it will never expand its sphere of influence so as to reach classes of the population hitherto not leavened with English knowledge. But I think there are places in the Education Depart- ment where none but Englishmen, and others where none but Chinamen, are properly employed. all secondary English Schools, and especially in a model School such as the Victoria College has ever been and shall ever continue to be, English ought to be taught by Englishmen, and what explanations are required to be given in Chinese can be given by the Chinese teachers with whom every English Master is supplied at Government expense until he has himself mastered Chinese colloquial. But in all elementary English Schools which offer an English or Anglo-Chinese education gratis, charging no fees, English should be taught (if possible under the supervision of an English-born Headmaster) by the cheaper agency of Chinese teachers of English. But these Chinese teachers of elementary English or Anglo-Chinese Schools require training as much, or rather more so, than English-born teachers of secondary English Schools. The sum and substance, therefore, of my suggestion is that the Autho- rities of the Victoria College might profitably reconsider the pupil-teacher system now attached to the College, with a view to re-model it so as in the first instance to hold out an inducement to English speaking sons of local European or Indian residents to qualify themselves for eventual employment as English masters (at the present salary of $150 a month or say $120 a month which would be a sufficient inducement) in the Victoria College or elsewhere, and in the second instance to provide trained Chinese-born masters for the elementary English and Anglo-Chinese Government Schools or Grant-in-Aid Schools of the Colony. If anything further were needed to recommend the above scheme, I would solicit attention to the following considerations. I am fully aware that as a matter of policy it is desirable to keep up the connection between this Colony and the home country by filling the higher offices of the local Government Service with men selected in England. But I contend that the sound reasons underlying this policy do not apply to the filling up of any post below that of the Headmaster.' It might indeed be said that the above scheme will not supply the Colony with English-born masters at a much cheaper rate. To this argument I would reply that under the present system masters are procured from Eugland under engagements for three years, receiving a free passage out and at the end of the three years a free passage back. Not only will the above scheme remove payments of passages, but it will obviate the frequent complaints of masters engaged in England that they had been misled as to the value of the dollar, cost of living and prospects of advancement in the Colony.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS OUTSIDE VICTORIA COLLEGE.-The Anglo-Chinese Government Schools in town and in the four larger villages (Wongnaichung, Stanley, Shaukiwan and Yaumati) call this for no special remark. They are, with the exception of Shaukiwan, filled with scholars to overflowing and cali urgently for the new buildings the erection of which has been sanctioned twelve years ago, but has not been commenced yet. The two Schools in town, most especially, besieged at the beginning of every school year with numbers of applicants who have to be turned away for want of accommodation. The most crying needs of these Government Schools, which give a gratuitous elementary English or Anglo-Chinese education, are larger and better accommodation and a staff of trained native teachers.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH JULY, 1890.
Those Government Schools, in town and in the villages, which give an elementary Chinese education gratis, and the Aided Village Schools, which give the same education charging fees, have continued, during the year 1889, teaching also Arithmetic and Geography, in addition to their classical Chinese lore. As regards those Aided Village Schools, arrangements have been made, as above mentioned, to convert them into Government Schools. That is to say, while hitherto the Govern- ment and the respective Village Communities nominally shared between them the expenses of each School, the Government, seeing that the villagers have habitually been evading their share in the compact and thrown the burden of school fees entirely upon the individual scholars, have resolved henceforth to provide the whole of the expenses of these elementary Schools. This measure will not only have the effect of making elementary education throughout the Colony free of charges to the parents of children, but, by giving the selection of the teachers to the Government, this measure will enable the Government to substitute in course of time a better class of teachers and thus improve the standard of elementary Chinese teaching given in these Schools.
13. GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOLS.-Those Grant-in-Aid Schools which give an elementary Chinese education in the Chinese language continue to increase in number from year to year. In location also they follow the expansion of the town, sharing in the movement of the population from the more crowded centres to quarters in the suburbs where rows of new houses have lately been erected, and penetrating also to the larger villages. Their standard of teaching improves sensibly, and there is now a general demand for Arithmetic to be added as a special subject to the ordinary routine teaching of these Schools, and in the Girls Schools, there is a general call for a seventh standard to be included in the list of standards at the next revision of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. This general advance in the standard of education given in these Mission Schools is very encouraging. Among the Missionary Societies, all of which deserve the thanks of the Government for their efforts made in 1889 to extend the sphere of this elementary Chinese education, offered in all cases free of charge and open to all comers, special mention must be made of the efforts of the Basel Mission (Rev. G. REUSCH) and the Female Education Society (Miss JOHNSTONE) to start new Schools in the villages, and of the Roman Catholic Mission which is making rapid strides in extending educational facilities among the Chinese Catholics as well as among the Portuguese (to whom their energies were hitherto almost exclusively devoted).
The number of Schools giving a European education in the Chinese language (with or without the use of the Romanized system), which had remained stationary (at two Schools, the Berlin and the Basel Mission Schools) for more than ten years, has now been increased by the addition of the Victoria Home and Orphanage School (Mrs. OST). When application was made for the transfer of this School from Class I (giving a Chinese education in the Chinese language) to Class III (giving a European education in the Chinese language), the late Dr. STEWART, as Colonial Secretary, recommended the application to the Governor by the brief minute "This is a step in the right direction." It is highly desirable that this movement, which is a specially apt method of raising the standard of education now offered in the Colony to Chinese girls, be followed up by other Managers.
The Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class IV, giving a European education, whether elementary or secondary, in a European language, continued in 1889 the previous line of progress. The elementary Portuguese Schools are gradually improving as regards the quality of the teaching given by them. But there is a great need for some stimulus to be applied to these Schools, as above mentioned, to purify the language used in these Schools from its local deformities. If an Officer of the Education Department could be induced to study the local Portuguese dialect and to qualify himself, by a short stay at Lisbon, to act as an Assistant Examiner for the benefit of these and similar Schools, a beneficial reform might soon be looked for.
As to the elementary English Schools in the Colony, the opening of a free English School in the centre of T'aip'ingshan, by the Rev. J. B. OST, was a noteworthy event. The fact that this School, situated among the veriest slums of the town, gained at once, and maintained even after the opening of the new Victoria College, an attendance of 113 Chinese boys, bringing 96 boys under examination, shews clearly that a demand for elementary English teaching is now springing up in the Colony among classes hitherto not appreciating the value of an English education. Moreover, good results. were obtained at the examination of this School, even in Algebra.
The secondary English Schools of the Colony have, in almost every case, increased their staff in 1889, and continued to give the same increased attention, to which I had occasion to refer in my last Report, to the higher subjects of an English education. These secondary Schools keep up a close neck-to-neck race with the Victoria College. Every improvement the latter makes, is at once followed by a similar effort on the part of the other Schools. Thus a healthy emulation has arisen between these Schools, and while the Victoria College now hardly manages to keep ahead of the others in spite of its superior advantages, there is on all sides great need of circumspection lest this healthful compe- tition be continued to the detriment of physical health through causing over-pressure on the part of
the scholars.
The needlework examination has been conducted on the same lines as before. The need of substituting for the present undefined standard of attainments a graduated scale, such as has been

adopted by the Ceylon Code, requiring each scholar to proceed from year to year to higher grades of plain needlework, has become strongly felt. It is the intention of the Department to introduce in the next revision of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme some provision of this sort.

14. OBITUARY.-The Education Department, more than any other branch of the Civil Service of this Colony, suffered, in 1889, by the great loss which the Colony sustained by the death of the Hon. F. STEWART, LL.D. Having served as Headmaster of the Government Central School and as Inspector of Schools for fully sixteen years (1862 to 1878), and then held several other offices, as Police Magis- trate, Registrar General and Colonial Secretary, the late Dr. STEWART continued, until his death, t? be the chief adviser of the Government in all educational matters. This continuous and intimate con- nection with the educational Institutions of the Colony for a period of twenty-eight years, gives special value to the following verdict which Dr. STEWART lately pronounced on the educational system now in force in the Colony. "The advance in education is one of the most gratifying features in the "progress of the Colony. There is yet much to be done and female education is only in its infancy; "but the lines on which the system is moving seem to be correct and time alone is required to reclain those portions of the field which remain untouched." These words, penned by Dr. STEWART but a few days before his death, illustrate most forcibly the unbiassed judgment and honest truthfulness which characterized him throughout his life. For the system, the lines of which he thus generously approved in 1889, is the very system against the initiation of which he waged a desperate war in 1878 and 1879. The position Dr. STEWART occupies in the educational history of the Colony is easily understood. From the year 1847, when the system of State-aided and Government Schools was inaugurated in Hongkong by the Rev. V. STANTON, and down to the year 1865 when the Education Department was established with Dr. STEWART as its Head, the educational policy of the Government had a strict- ly religious character. The leading Missionaries of the Colony, first in time the Rev. V. STANTON, the founder of St. Paul's College, first in power the Rev. Dr. LEGGE, the founder of the Anglo-Chinese College, together with Bishops SMITH and ALFORD, controlled the educational movement of the Colony for eighteen years, under the full sanction of the Government. During this time the Bible was a text- book in nearly all the Schools of Hongkong. The Government Schools were managed as feeders of St. Paul's College and at the annual prize-giving of the Government Schools the Protestant Bishop of Hongkong presided. Dr. STEWART chafed for three years under this system, as Headmaster of the Central School, established by Dr. LEGGE in 1862. But in the year 1865 all this was changed. Dr. STEWART, as Head of the new Education Department, now introduced the reign of an absolutely secular system and admitted, in 1872, Mission Schools to Government Aid on the principle of pay- ment for results ascertained by examination in purely secular subjects. It was actually proposed at a public meeting (25 June, 1872) to make St. Paul's College a feeder of the Government Central School. The Missionaries now chafed under the yoke of the secular and elementary Grant-in-Aid Scheme until the year 1878, when the Catholic and Protestant educationists of the Colony succeeded in obtain- ing from the Government an entire change of policy, which was effected in 1879 by confining the secular system to the Government Schools and by abolishing the secular and elementary limitations of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. This measure, offering State-aid for the encouragement of religious education, both elementary and secondary, caused the education of the Colony to advance at a tre- mendous bound. In 1878, Dr. STEWART reported 45 Schools with 3,144 scholars as under Govern- ment supervision, and four years afterwards the undersigned, as his successor, had to report 80 Schools with 5,182 scholars as under examination by the Inspector of Schools. When this combination of the secular and religious systems of education was inaugurated in the Colony, the late Dr. STEWART at first strongly protested and fought against it for two years. But as soon as he saw what a happy solution of the educational problem this revised Scheme practically proved itself amid the peculiar difficulties of the Colony, Dr. STEWART withdrew his objections and nothing redounds more to his credit as an educationist than the hearty support he thenceforth gave to the system he had once opposed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH JULY, 1890.

17. This Ordinance shall not exempt any person from any suit, action, or other proceeding which might, but for the provisions of this Ordinance, be brought against him.

Constitution of Magistrates.
7. There shall be as heretofore two Magistrates who shall be Justices of the Peace by virtue of their office and shall have and exercise all such powers and jurisdiction as were vested in Police Magistrates before the coming into operation of this Ordinance except as altered or repealed by this or any other Ordinance; and whenever by any past Ordinance or Statute in force in the Colony any proceeding act or thing is authorised to be taken or done by a Justice or Justices of the Peace the same may be taken or done by one Magistrate. The Magistrates now in office are continued therein as fully as if they were appointed under this Ordinance, and the Governor may appoint others from time to time as vacancies occur.
8. There shall as heretofore be a Marine Magistrate who without prejudice to any other jurisdiction, power, or authority possessed by him shall have the power and authority of a Magistrate to hear and determine cases of assault and assault and battery where there is no intent to commit a felony and the provisions in this Ordinance con- tained, in relation to the procedure before a Magistrate in such cases, shall apply mutatis mutandis to cases before the Marine Magistrate.
9. (1.) In all cases where a Magistrate may issue a warrant for the apprehension of any person, it shall in his descretion be lawful for a Justice of the Peace upon the application of a Police Officer and upon oath being made before him substantiating the matter of the information to his satisfaction to issue such warrant in order that such person may be brought before a Magistrate to be dealt with according to law.
(2.) It shall be lawful for the Governor from time to time as occasion may require to direct that any two Justices of the Peace of the Colony sitting together, shall have the powers and jurisdiction that a Magistrate has by this Ordinance and thereupon all the provisions in this Ordi- nance in relation to proceedings before a Magistrate shall apply to the proceedings before such justices. Such direc- tion shall name a place where the said Justices are to sit.
(3.) If any question shall arise as to the right of any person to exercise the office of a Magistrate, Marine Magis- trate or Justice of the Peace or of the right of any
Justice of the Peace to act as a Magistrate under any appointment in pursuance of this section, the production of the Gazette nominating or appointing such person to exercise the office of Magistrate, Marine Magistrate or Justice of the Peace or such Justice of the Peace to act as a Magistrate shall in all proceedings be deemed and held to be sufficient proof of such appointments respectively and it shall not be necessary to produce any commission, appointment or any oath, affidavit or other document in proof thereof.
PART III.
Summary Procedure.
10. In all cases where a complaint shall be made to or information laid before a Magistrate in respect of which such Magistrate has power to convict summarily or to make an order for the payment of money or otherwise it shall be lawful for such Magistrate to issue his summons (1.) to the person against whom such complaint has been made or information laid stating shortly the matter of such com- plaint or information and requiring him to appear at a cer- tain time and place before a Magistrate to answer to the said complaint or information and to be further dealt with ac- cording to law; and every such summons shall be served by a constable, usher or other officer in a Magistrate Court upon the person to whom it is so directed by delivering the same to the party personally or by leaving the same with some person for him at his last or most usual place of abode ; and the constable, or other officer who shall serve the same in manner aforesaid shall attend at the time and place before the Magistrate in the said summons mentioned to depose if necessary to the service of the said summons: Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall oblige a Magis- trate to issue a summons in any case where the defendant appears voluntarily or upon his recognisance or is in the custody of the police or charged on the charge sheet.

11. If the person so served with a summons as aforesaid shall not be and appear before the Magistrate at the time and place mentioned in such suminons, and it shall be made to appear to such Magistrate, by oath, that such summons was so served within what shall be deemed by such Magistrate to be a reasonable time before the time therein appointed for appearing to the same, then it shall be lawful for such Magistrate, if he shall think fit, upon oath being made before him substantiating the matter of such complaint or in- formation to his satisfaction, to issue is warrant (11.) to apprehend the person so summoned, and to bring such per- son before him or another Magistrate to answer to the said complaint or information, and to be further dealt with according to law; or upon such information being laid as aforesaid the Magistrate before whom such information shall have been laid may, if he shall think fit, upon oath being made before him substantiating the matter of such information to his satisfaction, instead of issuing such summons as aforesaid, issue in the first instance his warrant (111.) for apprehending the person against whom such in- formation shall have been so laid, and for bringing him before a Magistrate to answer to the said information, and to be further dealt with according to law; in any case where a Magistrate is empowered to make an order for the pay- ment of money or otherwise where a summons shall be so issued as aforesaid, and upon the day and at the place appointed in and by the said summons for the appearance of the party so summoned, such party shall fail to appear ac- cordingly in obedience to such summons, then and in every such case, if it be proved upon oath to a Magistrate that such summons was duly served upon such party a reasonable time before the time so appointed for his appearance as afore- said, it shall be lawful for such Magistrate to proceed ex parte to the hearing of such complaint or inforination, and to adjudicate thereon, as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as if such party had personally appeared before him in obedience to the said summons.
12.

13. The room or place in which a Magistrate shall sit to hear and try any complaint or information shall be deemed an open and public court, to which the public generally may have access, so far as the same can conveniently con- tain them unless the Magistrate shall otherwise direct where the evidence is of an indecent character in which case he shall make a note on the depositions of the direction he has given; and the party against whom such complaint is made or information laid shall be admitted to make his full answer and defence thereto, and to have the witnesses examined and cross-examined by counsel on his behalf; and every complainant or informant in any such case shall be at liberty to conduct such complaint or information respectively, and to have the witnesses examined and cross- examined by counsel on his behalf.
14. If at the day and place appointed in and by the summous aforesaid for hearing and determining such 'com- plaint or information as aforesaid the defendant against whom the same shall have been made or laid shall not appear when called, the constable or officer who shall have served him with the summons in that behalf shall then declare upon oath in what manner he served the said summons, and if it appear to the satisfaction of the Magis- trate that he duly served the said summons, such Magis- trate may in any case where he is empowered to make an order for the payment of money or otherwise proceed to

Special Provisions.
31. If upon the hearing of a charge for an offence pun- ishable on summary conviction under this Ordinance, or under any other Ordinance or Statute whether past or future, the Magistrate thinks that though the charge is proved the offence was in the particular case of so trifling a nature that it is inexpedient to inflict any punishment, or any other than a nominal punishment,-
(1.) The Magistrate without proceeding to conviction, may dismiss the complaint or information, and if he thinks fit, may order the defendant to pay such damages, not exceeding ten dollars, and such costs of the proceeding, or either of them, as the Magistrate thinks reasonable (xxvI., XLV.;) or, (2.) The Magistrate upon convicting (xxI.) the defendant may discharge him conditionally on his giving security, (v.), with or without sure- ties, to appear for sentence when called upon, or to be of good behaviour, and either without payment of damages and costs, or subject to the payment of such damages and costs, or either of them, as the Magistrate thinks reasonable.
32. Where a defendant is fined a sum not exceeding five dollars and the same is not forthwith paid the Magistrate inflicting such fine may order the defendant to be searched and if the defendant on being searched is found to have on his person any sum of money equalling or exceeding the amount of his fine, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate upon oath made to him of the fact by any person who was present when the defendant 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 defendant and that the defendant be thereupon discharged from custody.

(2.)

Whenever any person shall be convicted sum- marily before a Magistrate of any offence against the provisions of any Ordinance or Statute in force in the Colony whereby a minimum amount of fine or term of imprisonment is prescribed by way of punishment for such offence, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate if he shall in his discretion think fit to award a less amount of fine or term of imprisonment than that prescribed by way of minimum punishment as aforesaid or to award in certain cases a merely nominal punishment notwithstanding anything in such Ordinance or Statute to the contrary.
34. (1.) Where a power is given by any future Ordi- nance or Statute to a Magistrate of requiring any person to do or abstain from doing any act or thing other than the payment of money, or of requiring any act or thing to be done or left undone other than the payment of money, and no mode is prescribed of enforcing such requisition, a Magistrate may exercise such power by an order or orders, and may annex to any such order any conditions as to time or mode of action which he may think just, and may suspend or rescind any such order on such under- taking being given or condition being performed as he may think just, and generally may make such arrangement for carrying into effect such power as to him seems meet.
(2.)

nance.

(3.) Subject as aforesaid, the distress shall be sold within the period fixed by the warrant and if no period is so fixed, then within the period of four- teen days from the date of the making of the dis- tress unless the sum for which the warrant was issued and also the charges of taking and keeping the said distress are sooner paid.
(4.) Subject to any directions to the contrary given by the warrant of distress, when the distress is levied on household goods, the goods shall not except with the consent in writing of the person against whom the distress is levied be removed from the house until the day of sale, but so much of the goods shall be impounded as are in the opinion of the person executing the warrant suffi- cient to satisfy the distress by affixing to the articles impounded a conspicuous mark; and any person removing any goods so marked or defacing or removing the said mark shall on summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding twenty- five dollars.
(5.) Where a person charged with the execution of a warrant of distress wilfully retains from the pro- duce of any goods sold to satisfy the distress or otherwise exacts any greater costs and charges than those to which he is for the time being en- titled by law or makes any improper charge he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars. (6.) A written account (L.) of the costs and charges incurred in respect of the execution of any warrant of distress shall be sent by the constable or other officer charged with the execution of the warrant as soon as practicable to the Magistrate's clerk; and it shall be lawful for the person upon whose goods the distress was levied within one -month after the levy of the distress to inspect such account without fee or reward at any reasonable time to be appointed by a Magistrate and to take a copy of such account.

(8.) Where a person pays or tenders to the constable or other officer charged with the execution of a warrant of distress the sum mentioned in the warrant or produces the receipt for the same of the Magistrate's clerk and also pays the amount of the costs and charges of such distress up to the time of such payment or tender, the constable or other officer shall not execute the warrant. 48. (1.) A Magistrate to whom application is made. either to issue a warrant of distress for any sum adjudged to be paid by a conviction or order, or to issue a warrant for committing a person to prison for non-payment of a sum of money adjudged to be paid by a conviction, or in the case of a sum not a civil debt by an order, or for default of sufficient distress to satisfy any such sum, may, if he deem it expedient so to do, postpone the issue of such warrant until such time and on such conditions, if any, as to him may seem just.
(2.) The wearing apparel and bedding of a person and his family, and to the value of twenty-five dollars the tools and implements of his trade, shall not be taken under a distress issued by a Magistrate.
(3.) Where on application to a Magistrate to issue at warrant for committing a person to prison for non-payment of a sum adjudged to be paid by a conviction or in the case of a sum not a civil debt by an order or for default of sufficient distress to satisfy any such sum, it appears to the Magistrate to whom the application is made that either by payment of part of the said sum, whether in the shape of instalments or otherwise, or by the net proceeds of the distress, the amount of the sum so adjudged has been reduced to such an extent that the unsatisfied balance, if it had constituted the original amount adjudged to be paid by the conviction or order, would have subjected the de- fendant to a maximum term of imprisonment less than the term of imprisonment to which he is liable under such conviction or order, the Magistrate shall, by his warrant of commitment, revoke the term of imprisonment, and order the defendant to be imprisoned for a term not ex- ceeding such less maximum term instead of the term ori- ginally mentioned in the conviction or order. (XXIV., LIX.)

50. The power of a Magistrate upon complaint of any person, to adjudge a person to enter into a recognisance and find sureties to keep the peace or to be of good beha- viour towards such first-mentioned person, (XXVIII.) shall be exercised by an order upon complaint, (xxvII.) and the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply accordingly, and the complainant and defendant and witnesses may be called and examined and cross-examined, and the complainant and defendant shall be subject to costs, as in the case of any other complaint.
The Magistrate may order the defendant, in default of compliance with such last mentioned order, to be impri- soned for a period not exceeding six months.
51. Where a person has been committed to prison by a Magistrate for default in finding sureties, a Magistrate may on application (XXX11.) made to him in manner di- rected by the rules in the 3rd Schedule hereto by such person or by some one acting on his behalf, inquire into the case of the person so committed, and if upon new evidence produced to such Magistrate or proof of a change of circumstances the Magistrate thinks fit having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that it is just so to do,
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH JULY, 1890.
he may reduce the amount for which it is proposed the sureties or surety should be bound, or dispense with the sureties or surety, or otherwise deal with the case as he may think just. (XXXIII.)
52. When a Magistrate has fixed, as respects any re- cognisance, the amount in which the principal and the sureties (if any) are to be bound, the recognisance, not- withstanding anything in this or any past Ordinance or Statute need not be entered into before such Magistrate but may subject to the rules in the 3rd Schedule hereto be entered into by the parties before another Magis- trate or before the Magistrate's clerk or before a Su- perintendent or Inspector of Police or other officer of Police of equal or superior rank or where any of the parties is in prison before the Superintendent thereof and there- upon all the consequences of law shall ensue and the pro- visions of this Ordinance with respect to recognisances taken before a Magistrate shall apply as if the recognisance had been entered into before a Magistrate as heretofore by law required.

(4.) Any sum paid by a surety on behalf of his principal in respect of a security under this part of the Ordinance, together with all costs, charges and expenses incurred by such surety in respect of that security, shall be deemed a civil debt due to him from the principal, and may be re- covered before a Magistrate in mauner directed by this Ordinance with respect to the recovery of a civil debt which is recoverable summarily.
(5.) Where security is given under this part of the Ordi- nance for payment of a sum of money, the payment of such sum shall be enforced by means of such security in substi- tution for other means of enforcing such payment.

116. For any act done by a Magistrate in a matter over which by law he has no jurisdiction, or in which he shall have exceeded his jurisdiction, any person injured thereby, or by any act done under any conviction or order made or warrant issued by such Magistrate in any such matter, may maintain a suit against such Magistrate in the same. form and in the same case as he might have done before the passing of this Ordinance, without making any allega- tion in his petition, that the act complained of was done maliciously and without reasonable and probable cause: Provided nevertheless, that no such suit shall be brought for any thing done under such conviction or order until after such conviction shall have been quashed, either upon appeal to the Full Court or upon application to the Court nor shall any such suit be brought for anything done under any such warrant which shall have been issued by such Ma- gistrate to procure the appearance of such party, and which shall have been followed by a conviction or order in the same matter, until after such conviction or order shall have been so quashed as aforesaid; or if such last-mentioned warrant shall not have been followed by any such convic- tion or order, or if it be a warrant upon an information for an alleged indictable offence, nevertheless if a summons were issued previously to such warrant, and such summons were served upon such person, either personally or by

117. Where a conviction or order shall be made by one Magistrate and a warrant of distress or of commitment shall be granted thereon by another Magistrate bona fide and without collusion, no snit shall be brought against the Magistrate who so granted such warrant by reason of any defect in such conviction or order, or for any want of jurisdiction in the Magistrate who made the same, but the suit (if any) shall be brought against the Magistrate who made such conviction or order.
118. In all cases where a Magistrate shall refuse to do any act relating to the duties of his office as such Magis- trate, it shall be lawful for the party requiring such at to be done to apply to the Full Court upon an affidavit of the facts, for a rule calling upon such Magistrate, and also the party to be affected by such act, to show cause why such act should not be done; and if after due service of such rule good cause shall not be shown against it, such Court may make the same absolute, with or without costs, as shall seem meet; and the said Magistrate upon being served with such rule absolute shall obey the saine, and shall do the act required; and no suit or proceeding whatsoever shall be commenced or prosecuted against such Magistrate for having obeyed such rule, and done such act so thereby required as aforesaid.

121. No suit shall be brought against any Magistrate for anything done by him in the execution of his office, unless the same be commenced within six calendar months next after the act complained of shall have been committed. 122. No such suit shall be commenced against any Magistrate until one calendar month at least after a notice in writing of such intended suit shall have been delivered to him, or left for him at his usual place of abode by the party intending to commence such suit, or by his solicitor, in which said notice the cause of suit shall be clearly and explicitly stated; and upon the back thereof shall be endors- ed the name and place of abode of the party so intending to sue, and also the name and place of abode or of business of the said solicitor, if such notice have been served by such solicitor.
123. In every such case after notice of suit shall be so given as aforesaid, and before such suit shall be commenced, such Magistrate to whom such notice shall be given may tender to the party complaining, or to his solicitor such sum of money as he may think fit as amends for the injury con- plained of in such notice; and after such suit shall have been commenced, and at any time before the suit is placed in the general hearing list, such defendant, if he have not made such tender, or in addition to such tender, shall be at liberty to pay into Court such sum of money as he may think fit, and which said tender and payment of money into Court, or either of them, may afterwards be given in evidence by the defendant at the trial; and if the judge or jury at the trial (as the case may be) shall be of opinion that the plaintiff is not cutitled to damages beyond the sum so tendered or paid into Court, then he or they shall give judgment or a verdict for the defendant, and the plaintiff shall not be at liberty to elect to be non-suit, and the sum of money, if any, so paid into Court, or so much thereof as shall be sufficient to pay or satisfy the defendant's costs in that behalf, shall thereupon be paid out of Court to him, and the residue (if any) to the plaintiff; or if, where money is so paid into Court in any such suit, the plaintiff shall elect to accept the same in satisfaction of his damages

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

The following Assessor's Report on the Assessment for 1890-91, is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th July, 1890.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
ASSESSOR'S Office, HONGKONG, July 21st, 1890.
SIR, -I have the honour to hand you Report on the work of the Assessment Department under my control since December last.
1. By order of His Excellency the Governor in Council, I have made an entirely new Assessment of Victoria and the Hill District.
2. The result of the new Assessment is that the Rateable Value of the tenements in Victoria has been raised from $3,062,102 to $3,342,475 shewing an increase of $280,373 or 9.15 per cent on the Rateable Value, and an increase in the Rates to be collected of $36,000.
3. I annex a tabular statement which will shew the amount increased or decreased in each District, and the net total increased.
4. The number of Rateable tenements in Victoria is 7,403 being an increase of 253 since July 1889.
5. The Assessment of the Hill District shews the Valuation to be $71,536 against $59,516, an increase of $12,020, or 20.19 per cent in Rateable Value, and $1,050 in Rates to be collected.
6. Petitions praying for a revision of the existing Assessments have been presented by the in- habitants of Stanley, Mong-kok, and Hung-hom, and by direction of the late Honourable A. LISTER, a new Valuation has been made of the rateable tenements in these villages which I found to be much over assessed. The new Assessments shew reductions in the Rateable Value in Stanley of $845, Mong-kok $253, and Hung-hom $4,315, a total diminution in the Assessment of $5,413, or in rates to be collected of $378. The existing Valuations of the other villages have been adopted for the ensuing year.
7. I have spent a considerable portion of my time in investigating the returns made by the land- lords of the rents they receive, on which I base my Assessment and regret to state that in spite of the examples made in previous years, a number of the returns made to me are false. In 19 cases, fines were recovered amounting to $2,364.
8. The work of the Department has been satisfactorily done without the assistance of a tem- porary clerk for whom a sum of $150 was voted by Government when a general Valuation took place in previous years.
9. My clerk, Mr. CHAN PUI and Interpreter, Mr. LAU HI To have done their work with com- mendable intelligence and cheerfulness, and have been of much assistance to me in the discharge of the duties of my office since my arrival in the Colony.
10. In conclusion I hope the recent prosecutions will have a beneficial effect on the landlords, inasmuch as they will see that they cannot, without running the risk of incurring heavy penalties, make false returns of their rents to the Assessment Department,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable H. E. WODEHOUSE, C.M.G.,
Acting Colonial Treasurer.

EXTRADITION TREATY: GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND TUNIS. Windsor, 1st May, 1890.
At the Court at Windsor, the 1st day of May, 1890.
PRESENT,
The QUEEN'S Most Excellent Majesty.
Lord President. Earl of Coventry. Earl of Limerick.
WHEREAS by the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted that,
where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Acts shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subsequent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient; and that if, by any law made after the passing of the Act of 1870 by the Legislature of any British possession, provision is made for carrying into effect within such possession the surrender of fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in such British possession, Her Majesty may, by the Order in Council applying the said Acts in the case of any foreign State, or by any subsequent Order, suspend the operation within any such British possession of the said Acts, or of any part thereof, so far as it relates to such foreign State, and so long as such Law continues in force there and no longer : And whereas by an Act of the Parliament of Canada passed in 1886, and entitled An Act respecting the Extradition of Fugitive Criminals," provision is made for carrying into effect within the Dominion the surrender of fugitive criminals:
And whereas by an Order of Her Majesty the Queen in Council, dated the seventeenth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, it was directed that the operation of the Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, should be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so long as the provision of the said Act of the Parliament of Canada of 1886 should continue in force and no longer :
And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the fourteenth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six between Her Majesty and The President of the French Republic, for the mutual extradition of fugitive criminals, in the case of which Treaty the above-mentioned Acts of Parliament were applied by an Order in Council of the sixteenth of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy- eight:
And whereas an Arrangement was concluded on the thirty-first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, between the Government of Her Majesty and the Government of the French Republic, acting in the name of the Government of His Highness The Bey of Tunis, for extending the provisions of the said Treaty of August 14, 1876, to Tunis, which Arrangement is in the terms following:---
"THE Government of Her Britannic Majesty on the one part, and the Government of the French Republic, acting in the name of the Government of His Highness the Bey of Tunis, on the other part, with a view to insure as far as possible the arrest and delivery to the competent jurisdiction of criminals who seek to escape by flight from the action of justice, have agreed as follows:-
"The provisions of the Anglo-French Convention of the fourteenth August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six, are extended to Tunis, except that the period of fourteen days, stipulated by Article IX of the said Convention, is prolonged to two months.
"The present Arrangement shall have the same duration as the Convention of Extradition to which it relates.
"In witness whereof the Undersigned his Excellency the Earl of Lytton, Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, and his Excellency M. SPULLER, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the French Re- public, have prepared the present Arrangement, and have affixed thereto their seals.
Done at Paris, the thirty-first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine.
"(L.S.) LYTTON.
(L.S.) E. SPULLER."
Now, therefore. Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in virtue of the authority committed to Her by the said recited Acts, doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and after the sixteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, the said Acts shall apply in the case of Tunis in conformity with the said Arrangement with the French Republic.
Provided always, and it is hereby further ordered that the operation of the said Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1878, shall be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so far as relates to Tunis and to the said Arrangement, and so long as the provisions of the Canadian Act aforesaid of 1886 continue in force, and no longer.

This Standard Work on the hinese 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.

(2.) Before detaining any such goods, or taking any further proceedings with a view to the forfeiture thereof under this Ordinance the Superintendent of Imports and Exports may require the regula- tions under this section, whether as to infor- mation, security, conditions, or other matters, to be complied with, and may satisfy himself in accordance with those regulations that the goods are such as are prohibited by this section to be imported.
(3.) The Governor in Council may from time to time make, revoke, and vary regulations, either general or special, respecting the detention and forfeiture of goods the importation of which is prohibited by this section, and the conditions, if any, to be fulfilled before such detention and forfeiture, and may by such regulations deter- mine the information, notices, and security to be given, and the evidence requisite for any of the purposes of this section, and the mode of verification of such evidence.
(4.) Where there is on any goods a name which is identical with or a colourable imitation of the name of a place in the United Kingdom, that name, unless accompanied by the name of the country in which such place is situate, shall be treated for the purposes of this section as if it were the name of a place in the United Kingdom. (5.) Such regulations may apply to all goods the im- portation of which is prohibited by this sections or different regulations may be made respecting different classes of such goods or of offence, in relation to such goods.
(6.) The regulations may provide for the informant reimbursing the Superintendent of Imports and Exports all expenses and damages incurred in respect of any detention made on his informa- tion, and of any proceedings consequent on such detention.
(7.) All regulations under this Section shall be pub-

9. It shall be lawful for the Water Authority to measure or otherwise determine the quantity of water supplied by means of any service or services to any tenement or block or group of tenements.
10. The Water Authority shall from time to time deter- mine with the approval of the Governor in Council (such approval to be notified in the Gazette) the quantity of water per head per day which shall be deemed to be legitimate domestic consumption. In determining this quantity regard shall be had to the annual valuation of the tenement to be supplied as defined by the Rating Ordinance for the time being but in no case shall such quantity be less than five gallons per head per day. Such quantity shall, for the pur- poses of this Ordinance and of any Regulations made there- under be termed the "Prescribed domestic quantity."
11. If, in the opinion of the Water Authority, the water consumed by any tenement or block or group of tenements appears to be excessive, the Water Authority shall call upon the Registrar General to ascertain the number of inhabitants in such tenement, block or group of tenements, and the Registrar General shall, as soon as practicable, furnish the Water Authority with a Return showing as nearly as practicable the number of persons inhabiting the same.
12. The Water Authority shall ascertain the total quantity of water supplied to the tenement, block or group of tenements to which the Return aforesaid applies during a period of not less than thirty consecutive days, including the day of the date of the Return. Thereupon the Water Authority shall by comparing such total quantity of water supplied with the number of persons shown in the return, determine the average daily rate of consumption per head.
13. If such average daily rate per head is found to ex- cecd the "prescribed domestic quantity" the Water Author- ity shall serve notice upon the occupiers, by leaving one such written or printed notice in English and Chinese at each tenement, to abate such excessive consumption forth- with, and shall also where practicable notify the owner of the fact of such service; and if within fourteen days after service of such notice such excessive consumption be not abated to the satisfaction of the Water Authority, it shall be lawful for such Authority to disconnect the service of such tenement or tenements from the waterworks, for any period not ex- ceeding three months and such service shall not be recon- nected without the written application of the owner.
14. It shall be lawful for the Water Authority to fix meters for measuring the consumption of water in all cases of non-domestic supply and the Water Authority shall call upon the owner or occupier of any tenement to which a "non-domestic" supply is given and measured by a meter, to enter into an agreement with the Colonial Secretary on behalf of the Crown to pay quarterly to the Colonial Treasurer subject to the deduction in the next paragraph mentioned for the quantity of water consumed in or upon such tenement at the price per thousand gallons hereinafter set forth, and to pay quarterly in advance to the Colonial Treasurer a rent for the use of the meter. Such meter shall be kept in repair by the Water Authority. If such owner or occupier declines or neglects to enter into such agreement for a period exceeding fourteen days from the date of the notice, or such extended period as may be con- ceded by the Water Authority in writing it shall be lawful for the Water Authority to disconnect the service of the said tenement from the waterworks.
15. From the quarterly payment in the last preceding section mentioned there shall be deducted a sum equal to three-quarters per cent. on the annual rating valuation of the tenement to which such non-domestic supply is served, and of any premises in the same curtilage to which no water is supplied.
16. All moneys received under the authority of this Or- dinance or which under the authority of section 28 of Ordinance No. 15 of 1888 may be disposed of to defray the expenses of the water supply shall be carried to the credit of an account which shall be kept by the Water Authority and be called the Water account and such moneys shall be disposed of to defray all or any of the expenses of or in connection with or for the maintenance and repair of the waterworks or for the future extension thereof or in or towards the payment of all or any sums of

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One Pound and Ten Shillings per Share which at 4/6 will absorb $400,000, and a Bonus of One Pound per Share which will absorb $266.666 67.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH AUGUST, 1890.
4. All new services or alterations or repairs to existing services are to be carried out to the satis- faction of the Water Authority. Pipes and fittings of approved quality only are to be used. Samples may be seen at the Office of the Water Authority.
5. No pipes, valves, or other fittings forming part of a service must be covered up until they have been inspected and tested by the Water Authority. As soon as a service has been inspected and approved, it will be connected to the waterworks, and the supply will commence. The connection
will be made by the Water Authority's servants only.
6. Whenever the owner or occupier of any tenement wishes that a service should be made, altered, extended or repaired at his cost by the Water Authority, he must make application by filling in a printed form, obtainable on application at the Office of the Water Authority.
On receipt of this form, duly filled in and signed, the Water Authority will cause the premises to be inspected and will arrange with the owner or occupier as to the manner of construction of the pro- posed service.
7. The applicant for a service having signified to the Water Authority his acquiescence to the final arrangement, proposed by the Water Authority, the service will be constructed accordingly.
8. The Water Authority does not undertake to restore any crnamental floors, wall-surfaces or other decorations, which may be disturbed by the work.
9. On the completion of the work, the Water Authority will present to the applicant a detailed account of the cost of the work including all labour, materials and supervision.
10. The cost of services laid, altered, or repaired by the Water Authority shall be paid to the Trea- sury in cash in full within fourteen days of the presentation of the account.
11. The Water Authority will not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any service constructed by the same, after the date of the account for construction.
12. The Water Authority, notwithstanding that its requirements have been complied with as regards services, does not hold itself liable for any damage that may arise in premises by bursting or overflowing. Nor will the Water Authority by any permission or act extend its responsibility beyond the main-pipes in the public thoroughfares.
13. All pipes, used in the construction of services, are to be of cast-iron of approved thickness and quality or wrought-iron both to be coated with bitumenous composition; or galvanized wrought- iron piping (the latter however is not recommended).
14. Wrought-iron service pipes are to be of the quality known as "Best water piping" and to be of the following weights:-

15. Cast-iron pipes are to be substantially jointed with lead and yarn. Wrought-iron pipes are to have screwed joints and sockets.
16. Lead pipes will only be permitted in new services when the water which passes through them cannot be used for drinking or cooking (down-pipes to water closets or overflow pipes from cisterns, for example). Provided always that owners of premises which are now provided with lead- services will not be compelled to remove them unless in the opinion of the Water Authority they are too weak, or otherwise defective.
17. Every service is to be provided with a strong gland stop-cock with solid bottom, either of brass or of cast-iron, if of cast-iron, the plug to be asbestos-packed, or, with a screw-down stop-cock with a loose-valve; or, in the case of services larger than 2" in internal diameter; with a sluice or slide-valve.
The stop-cock or valve is to be fixed under the pavement where there is one, and as near to the tenement as practicable, and it is to be provided with a cast-iron cover and lid so that it may at all times be accessible; or, the stop-cock may be fixed above ground in the tenement immediately inside the door in some readily accessible place.
18. All draw-off taps are to be of the pattern known as "screw-down" with loose valves, not liable to turn on their seat when screwing down. Patterns of the taps may be seen at the Office of the Water Authority.
19. Every cistern, to which water is supplied from the waterworks, is to be provided with an "Equilibrium" ball-valve of approved pattern, and the ball-valve is to be so adjusted as to close the supply when the water-level in the cistern is two inches below the edge or overflow if there be one.
20. The overflow pipes of all cisterns are to be brought out to the outside of the building and must terminate in some conspicuous position, so that any leakage may be easily detected. No over- flow pipe from any cistern must on any account be connected to any drain or sewer or to the waste-

819
pipe of any bath or sink or with the overflow from any other cistern. Each cistern must have a separate overflow pipe.
21. All water closets are to be provided with automatic waste-preventing flush tanks of approved pattern and under no circumstances must the service be in direct communication with any water- closet-pan, latrine or urinal. In every such case a cistern or tank must be interposed so as to prevent the possibility of any return of foul liquid or gas to the service or mains.
22. The outlet of every drawing tap must be in some open and conspicuous place, so that leakage may be easily detected; and on no account must the outlet be below the high water level in any cistern, tank, or other vessel into which the tap delivers.
The inlet of every bath or lavatory basin must be separate and distinct from the outlet, and the inlet must be at the top of the bath.
23. No overflow pipe must be altered without the permission of the Water Authority.
24. The price of water for non-domestic supplies is twenty cents ($0.20) per thousand gallons. 25. The following rents will be paid to the Treasury quarterly and in advance for the use of
meters:-

"}
26. Meters will be read at such times as the Water Authority may direct, not less frequently than three times a quarter. Whenever a meter is read a memorandum of the reading and of the preceding reading will be left with the occupier of the tenement supplied through it.
27. For the purpose of calculating the quarterly consumption the difference between two read- ings of the meter shall be taken.
The first reading may be that observed on any day not more than ten days before or after the calendar date of the commencement of the quarter, or in the case of a newly fixed meter, the first reading
of the meter.
The second reading may be that taken on any day not more than ten days earlier or later than the calendar termination of the quarters, or if the meter is removed or the supply closed during the quarter then the last reading shall be taken; and the difference between the two readings shall be taken as the quarter's water consumption. If two or more meters have been in use during the quarter then the quarters consumption shall be the sum of the quantities indicated by the meters.
Provided always that the reading used as the last reading of any quarter shall be used as the first reading of the ensuing quarter.
28. If a meter is found to be out of order; or if it be removed for repair or alteration, the fact will be noted on the memorandum, mentioned in section 26. On fixing a new meter or re- fixing the old meter a second memorandum will be handed to the occupier of the tenement.
The consumption for the time that the meter was out of order or for the time that the service was without a meter will be calculated according to the average daily rate of consumption that obtained during the period between any two successive readings, whilst the meter was in good order, immediately pre- ceding the removal of the meter.
29. If the consumer doubts the accuracy of the meter, which measures the water supplied to the tenement owned or occupied by him; then the meter will, on demand, be tested by the Water Au- thority. The consumer, or any person appointed by him, may be present when the meter is tested. The results of the test will be binding, both on the Water Authority and on the consumer; and the quantity of water indicated by the meter, from the first reading of the quarter, as defined in section 27, shall be corrected according to the results of the test.
If the meter be found to indicate correctly or if it be found to indicate too little, then a fee of $10 shall be paid for testing.
If the meter be found to indicate too much then no fee shall be paid for testing.
30. Meters will be maintained by the Water Authority and all repairs except those caused wilfully or negligently will be made by and at the cost of the Water Authority.
31. The value of the amount of water consumed during the quarter, as ascertained in accordance with sections 26, 27, 28, will be calculated at the rate of twenty cents per thousand gallons. From the sum thus obtained a deduction will be made, equal to 3 per cent. on the annual valuation of the tenement, as defined under the Rating Ordinance, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Govern- ment Treasury. Each quarter's account shall be final, and no surplus shall be carried forward from one quarter to the next.

This Standard Work on the hinese 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 moderu, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.
A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

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

Rules of Measurement of Tonnage under the Tonnage Deck prescribed by section 21, Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, as modified, for Measurement of Vessels with Double Bottoms for Water Ballast.
XXI. The tonnage of every ship to be registered, with the exceptions mentioned in the next section, shall, previously to her being registered, be ascertained by the following Rule, herein-after called Rule I.; and the tonnage of every ship to which such Rule can be applied, whether she is about to be registered or not, shall be ascer- other ships of which tained by the same Rule :
RULE 1.
For ships to be registered; and
the hold is clear.
Ships measured
under Rule II. may be re-measured under Rule 1. See Mer. Ship. Act Amend- ment Act, 1855, section 14. Lengths.
Transverse areas.
(1.) Measure the length of a ship in a straight line along the upper side of the tonnage deck from the inside of the inner plank (average thickness) at the side of the stem to the inside of the midship stern timber (frame) or plank there, as the case may be, (average thickness.) deducting from this length. what is due to the rake of the bow in the thickness of the deck, and what is due to the rake of the stern timber (fraae) in the thickness f the deck, and also what is due to the rake of the stern timber in one-third of the round of the beam; divide the length so taken into the number of equal parts required by the following Table, according to the class in such Table to which the ship belongs:
Class 1.
2.
TABLE.
Ships of which the tonnage deck is according to the above measurement 50 feet long or under. into 4 equal parts: Ships of which the tonnage deck is according to the above measurement above 50 feet long and not exceeding 120, into 6 equal parts:
3. Ships of which the tonnage deck is according to the above measurement above 120 feet long and not exceeding 180, into 8 equal parts:
4. Ships of which the tonnage deck is according to the above measurement above 180 feet long and not exceeding 225, into 10 equal parts:
5. Ships of which the tonnage deck is according to the above
measurement above 225 feet long, into 12 equal parts:
In the case of a break or breaks in a double bottom for water ballast, the length of the vessel is to be taken in parts according to the number of breaks, and each part divided into a number of equal parts according to the class in the above table to which such length belongs.
(2.) Then, the hold being first sufficiently cleared to admit of the required depths and breadths being properly taken, find the transverse area of such ship at each point of division of the length or each point of division of the parts of the length, as the case may require, as follows:-Measure the depth at each point of division, from a point at a distance of one-third of the round of the beam below such deck, or in case of a break, below a line stretched in continuation thereof, to the upper side of the floor timber (upper side of the inner plating of the double bottom)* at the inside of the limber strake, after deducting the average thickness of the ceiling which is between the bilge planks and limber strake; then, if the depth at the midship division of the length do not exceed 16 feet, divide each depth into five? equal parts; then measure the inside hori- zontal breadth at each of the four points of division, and also at the upper point of the depth, extending each measurement to the average thickness of that part of the ceiling which is between the points of measurement; number these breadths from above (ie., numbering the upper breadth one, and so on down to the fifth breadth); multiply the second and fourth by four, and the third by two: add these products together, and to the sum add the first breadth and the fifth; multiply the quantity thus obtained by one third of the common interval between the breadths, and the product shall be deemed the transverse area of the upper part of the section, then find the area between the fifth and lower point of the depth by dividing the depth between such points into four equal parts, and measure the horizontal breadths at the three points of division and also at the upper and lower points, and proceed as before, and the sum of the two parts shall be deemed to be the transverse area; but if the midship depth exceed

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
sixteen feet, divide cach depth into seven equal parts instead of four, and measure as before directed the horizontal breadths at the six points of division, and also at the upper point of the depth; number them from above as before; multiply the second, fourth, and sixth by four. and the third and fifth by two; add these products together, and to the sum add the first breadth and the seventh; multiply the quantity thus obtained by one third of the common interval between the breadths, and the product shall be deemed the transverse area of the upper part of the section, then find the lower part of the area as before directed, and add the two parts together, and the sum shall be deemed to be the transverse area.
In all cases where the top of the double bottom is horizontal, it will be sufficient to measure the transverse areas under the ordinary words of the law.
(3.) Having thus ascertained the transverse area at each point of division of the length of the ship, or each point of division of the parts of the length, as the case may require, as required by the above table, proceed to ascertain the register tonnage of the ship in the following manner:-number the areas successively 1, 2, 3, &c., No. 1 being at the extreme limit of the length at the bow, or of each part of the length, and the last No. at the extreme limit of the length at the stern, or the extreme limit at the after end. of each part of the length; then, whether the length be divided according to the table into four or 12 parts, as in classes 1 and 5, or any intermediate number, as in classes 2, 3, and 4, multiply the second and every even numbered area by four, and the third and every odd numbered area (except the first and last) by two; add these products together, and to the sum add the first and last if they yield anything; multiply the quantity thus obtained by one-third of the common interval between the areas, and the product will be the cubical contents of the space, or cubical contents of each part if the ship is measured in parts, under the tonnage deck; divide this product, or if measured in parts the products of the several parts added together, by 100, and the quotient, being the tonnage under the tonnage deck, shall be deemed to be the register tonnage of the ship, subject to the additions and deductions mentioned in the remaining parts of the Act.

sixteen feet, divide cach depth into seven equal parts instead of four, and measure as before directed the horizontal breadths at the six points of division, and also at the upper point of the depth; number them from above as before; multiply the second, fourth, and sixth by four. and the third and fifth by two; add these products together, and to the sum add the first breadth and the seventh; multiply the quantity thus obtained by one third of the common interval between the breadths, and the product shall be deemed the transverse area of the upper part of the section, then find the lower part of the area as before directed, and add the two parts together, and the sum shall be deemed to be the transverse area.
In all cases where the top of the double bottom is horizontal, it will be sufficient to measure the transverse areas under the ordinary words of the law.
(3.) Having thus ascertained the transverse area at each point of division of the length of the ship, or each point of division of the parts of the length, as the case may require, as required by the above table, proceed to ascertain the register tonnage of the ship in the following manner:-number the areas successively 1, 2, 3, &c., No. 1 being at the extreme limit of the length at the bow, or of each part of the length, and the last No. at the extreme limit of the length at the stern, or the extreme limit at the after end. of each part of the length; then, whether the length be divided according to the table into four or 12 parts, as in classes 1 and 5, or any intermediate number, as in classes 2, 3, and 4, multiply the second and every even numbered area by four, and the third and every odd numbered area (except the first and last) by two; add these products together, and to the sum add the first and last if they yield anything; multiply the quantity thus obtained by one-third of the common interval between the areas, and the product will be the cubical contents of the space, or cubical contents of each part if the ship is measured in parts, under the tonnage deck; divide this product, or if measured in parts the products of the several parts added together, by 100, and the quotient, being the tonnage under the tonnage deck, shall be deemed to be the register tonnage of the ship, subject to the additions and deductions mentioned in the remaining parts of the Act.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 27th June, 1890.
SIR, I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for the year 1889 together with the Tables shewing the work done in the Medical Department under my supervision also Reports from the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, the Medical Officer of the Gaol, and the Government Analyst.
POLICE.
The admissions to Hospital shew a considerable decrease being 590, as compared with 657 in 1888. This is the more satisfactory as the strength of the Force has been increased this year by 73 men being 758 as compared with 685 in 1888. Five Europeans, three Indians and two Chinese died in the Government Civil Hospital. The admissions to Hospital from the various sections of the Police Force for the last nine years are given in the following table.

By this it will be seen that there was an increase in admissions from the European portion of the Force, but a considerable decrease among the Indians and Chinese. The Europeans being the greatest sufferers in proportion to their strength, next the Indians and the Chinese. Amongst the latter the amount of sickness is very small see Table I.
The following Table gives the admissions to Hospital and deaths in the Force for the last ten
years :--

There is an increase of admissions to Hospital among the Troops this year as compared with 1888, but there has also been a considerable increase in their strength.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
The quarters for the Medical Staff and the European and Chinese Nursing Staffs are still in course of construction.
The new Hospital Mortuary has been finished and is now most conveniently situated. It can no longer be a cause of annoyance to the inmates of the Hospital as it always had been previously from its position on the grounds.
There is now an additional Medical Officer to the Staff which materially relieved the Superin- tendent.
There are also a Senior and two Assistant Wardmasters all trained men who have given great satisfaction in the performance of their duties.
I regret that the Nursing Staff of Sisters has not been so successful. They have found the work beyond their strength being delicately nurtured women also they are not permitted by the rules of their order to do much that is required in an institution of this kind so that a new staff of trained European Nurses has been sanctioned to take their place, and will shortly arrive I hope.
Mr. ROGERS, the Steward, has returned to duty much benefited by his well earned leave and an additional clerk has been appointed to help in the clerical work which increases yearly.
We have lost two old and valued officers in Mr. CARNEIRO and CHAN A Lock; the former died a few days after being pensioned of heart disease. CHAN A LOCK after nearly thirty years' service retires on pension. Both these men were trained in this Hospital and more willing, kinder hearted, energetic and competent officers in the performance of their duties are not to be found. As a patient in the Hospital I had a good experience of their way of working and they were equally good to the poorest destitute as I have had many opportunities of observing.
Mr. LUCAS who takes the place of Mr. WATSON, the late assistant Apothecary, has arrived but there will have to be some changes in this Department as I have already reported. Mr. CROW will have enough analytical work to take up nearly all his time if he has to do the work connected with the new Health Ordinance.
The admissions to this Hospital shew a slight increase this year while the number of deaths shew a slight decrease. The largest increase has been among the private patients.
There were no admissions this year of a choleraic type.
The following table shews the number and classification of those brought to Hospital for the last
nine years :-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.

In the Superintendent's Report will be found some very interesting remarks on Fever Cases and gun-shot wounds admitted to the Hospital.
Some of his recommendations as regards increased accommodation for the Hospital are already being attended to and I can fully endorse all he has said in his Report concerning the Staff, Hospital Accommodation, &c. He is a most able and energetic Officer an has thoroughly earned the respect, confidence and good will of every one he has had to deal with in the performance of his duties.
SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.
There were sixteen cases of Small-pox admitted to this Hospital this year all of a mild type. Three other cases of infectious disease were admitted; there were no deaths. A good supply of calf lymph has been served out to all the vaccine stations which has been procured from Japan and has been most satisfactory. Next year I hope to report that calf lymph produced in the Colony is equally good. Dr. ATKINSON, the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, and Mr. LADDS have made a series of experiments with this object which have been very satisfactory, so it has been decided by Government to establish a calf lymph station in this Colony.
PUBLIC MORTUARY.
Table VIII shews the number of bodies brought to the Mortuary for examination and the cause of death. This year 161 bodies were brought: in Europeans 4, Chinese 152, other nationalities 5. Of the Chinese 15 were children.
48 were found to have died of disease, 84 were accidental deaths, 19 suicidal and 10 homicidal.

The daily average has increased by 50 as compared with last year a very large number admitted now belong to the mendicant class and petty offences. I have drawn attention to this, as many as thirty mendicants have been admitted in one week sentenced to from 7 to 14 days none of whom were fit to perform hard labour many of them being put on the sick list being either deformed, blind, or having hedious sores which they expose to excite charity. They come from the mainland to make a harvest in this Colony. Imprisonment is no punishment to them as in any case they are better clothed and fed in Gaol than outside. They cost the Government 10 cents a day besides greatly adding to the over-crowding of the Gaol. Short sentences of one to three days, short commons and deporta- tion, or the latter only would cost the Colony much less. A very large percentage of the Chinese population of this Colony belong to this class and greatly add to the over-crowding of the City. This class of immigrants should be discouraged in every possible way; they are a burden to the Colony; are of no possible service and only add to the filth and disease.
Table IX shews the number of prisoners admitted to Hospital, the cause and deaths.
Table XI shews the rate of sickness and mortality among the prisoners. There were 244 admissions to Hospital as compared with 306 in 1888, and only 4 deaths.
Table XIb shews the number of opium smokers admitted to the Gaol, as usual the habit has been ignored. Only eight needed to be taken into Hospital suffering from General Debility. There were no deaths amongst this class of prisoners. There are no particular cases worthy of note. Of 3,705 prisoners admitted to Gaol a class of society generally supposed to be addicted to most vicious habits and are mostly not in want of funds to indulge in them only 49 acknowledge themselves to be addicted to this habit. Yet opium can be procured better and cheaper in this Colony than in their own country. This does not go to show the prevalence of this habit even in moderation. Could any gaol in Europe show so small a percentage I don't say of those who habitually use spirits but of habitual drunkards. LUNATIC ASYLUM.
cases.
There were eight admissions into the Asylum and one death. Some of them were very bad
The majority caused by the habitual use of intoxicants to excess.
852
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
TUNG-WA HOSPITAL.
The number of cases admitted to this Hospital during the year was 2,050 or nearly 250 less than were admitted last year, of these 1,011 died. In 1888 there were 2,298 of whom 1,428 died.
Of the 2,050 cases admitted this year 306 were moribund. As I have before remarked a Chinaman can seldom be induced to go into Hospital until he is in the last extremity or is absolutely destitute.
Four cases were admitted into the Small-pox Ward, of these 2 died.

2,494 vaccinations were performed successfully by the Public Vaccinator attached to this institu-
The number of out-patients treated was 144,864.
LOCK HOSPITAL.
This establishment is still in the same two houses, pending the building now in progress to accommodate the Hospital Staff.
The attendance of the women at the Hospital is the same as last year, the number who voluntarily submitted to examination and the number of examinations made are the same as last
year.
The compulsory examination ceased September 1st, 1887.

This table shews there was a great deficit in the examinations in 1887 the last four months' attendance being voluntary.
In the next two years the deficit in attendance is nearly doubled.
There were a few more that stayed in Hospital this year and there were not many refusals of those who submitted and were found diseased. It must be remembered that for some days every month a woman is not in condition to be examined. In the compulsory lines a mark was placed against her name on the Board hung up in the house she belonged to till that condition was removed. Hence there must always be a deficit in the number of examinations calculated by the week and those that can be made. The deficit used to be within bound in hundreds; now it is thousands.
Still even under these conditions something is done, but of course it is not the same as under compulsion. These figures speak for themselves.
There is an increase of disease all round.
Military Hospital an increase of 51 admissions compared with last year.
Naval Hospital an increase of 105.
Police Hospital an increase of 19.
Civil Hospital an increase of 64.
Table E gives the numbers of these different Hospitals for the last four years for comparison. Out of the 452 Military cases 72 contracted constitutional disease. See Table E 3.
Out of the 349 Naval cases only 10 contracted constitutional disease in Hongkong and 20 else- where. See Table E 2.
Though still comparatively low the disease for which compulsory examination was employed with a view of stumping it out is slowly and surely increasing both in numbers and severity.
ever.
Every encouragement is given to the women to come to the Hospital and no compulsion what- If I were permitted to give certificates to the women who are clean I think more would come but this also is forbidden. Many come because I give them prescriptions as out-patients or orders for admission to the Civil Hospital for other disease not connected for venereal diseases, and some attend as out-patients for venereal disease.
HEALTH OF THE COLONY.
The number of deaths and percentage among the Foreign Residents of Hongkong is the lowest for the last six years.
* September 1st. 1887-The compulsory attendance was abolished.

Enclosure 1.
Report from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 19th April, 1890.
SIR.I have the honour to forward the Annual Report for the year 1889 with the Hospital Statistics.
I. THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.
1. The main building of the Hospital has remained unaltered.
2. The new wing consisting of four public wards providing accommodation for 56 patients and two private wards providing accommodation for 4 patients has now been completed, making in all a total accommodation for 130 patients within the Hospital buildings.
There is also provision for two European Wardmasters in this wing which is in many respects better suited for the purpose than the old Male Lock Hospital now occupied by the French Sisters; the lavatory and bathing accommodation is however insufficient.
3. The Male Lock Hospital has been considerably altered in order to provide temporary accom- modation for the Female Nursing Staff pending the completion of the New Block now under con- struction.
4. The new Mortuary situated between the Porter's Lodge and the main building has been completed during the past year, this additional and improved accommodation cannot be without bene- fit to the Institution.
5. The foundations of the new Barracks situated to the west of the main block for the Chinese Nursing Staff are now being prepared. This building when completed will supply a much needed want, as the present accommodation for the Chinese Nurses is both very inadequate and insanitary.
6. Adverting to the insufficient bathing and lavatory accommodation in the new wing I would suggest that the open space to the east be utilised for providing suitable lavatories and that hot water be laid on to both floors and the baths themselves replaced by others similar to those in use in the main building.
7. Referring to the recommendations contained in my report of last year I regret to say that as yet there are no signs of providing a suitable laundry, increased office, store accommodation, and better facilities for the distribution of hot water, the need of which is yearly becoming more evident with the increased number of patients and amount of work done as will be seen from Table VII b in the Appendix.
8. Further extension is required for private patients :---
If this Institution is to continue to meet the public requirements in this respect early steps should be taken to provide accommodation for patients of this class. In view of the increase that has taken place during the last two years it appears that additional accommodation should be provided for 6 first class and 8 second class patients. During the past year I have been unable on many occasions to provide private patients with the accommodation requested.
872
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
The following figures will shew the increase in the first and second class private patients during the past year.

9. I have also to call attention to the increased traffic along Hospital Road which is detrimental to the rest of the patients, especially in the early hours of the morning, and would suggest that the road be closed as a thoroughfare between the hours of 8 P.M. and 8 A.M.
10. The improvements recently carried out in the buildings in this neighbourhood have, I regret to say, led to the property being used as Chinese Boarding Houses the result being that the quiet pre- viously enjoyed by the patients is no longer obtainable hence the importance of the Government as far as it is feasible doing all in its power to prevent innovations of this kind.
II.-SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.
11. The temporary small-pox buildings remain as before.
12. After careful consideration the construction of a hospital ship for the reception of all cases of infectious disease has been decided upon, and no time should be lost in completing and placing it at the disposal of this Department.
13. I recommend that the present premises after a little alteration be used as Reception Wards where all suspected cases of infectious disease should be retained for observation before reinoval to the Hulk.
III.-ADDITIONAL OFFICERS' QUARTERS.
14. This building situated at the corner of High Street and Eastern Street is not yet completed but it is to be hoped that it will be finished ready for occupation before the end of this year.
IV. HOSPITAL PREMISES.
15. Flower beds have been laid down in the recreation grounds but from the nature of the soil improvements of this nature have been found difficult, but with the kind assistance of Mr. FORD their present condition is a marked improvement on that previously existing. The present staff consisting of one gardener is insufficient to keep the gardens as they ought to be kept. I therefore submit that in framing the Estimates for next year an assistant should be allowed for this purpose.
13. The suggestions contained in my report of last year have not yet been carried out viz.:- 1st. The substitution of a low parapet wall surmounted by a substantial open iron railing in place of the present high wall along the Hospital Road frontage of the premises adjoining the main building.
2nd. The substitution of an iron railing instead of the present temporary bamboo fence along the High Street frontage of the grounds adjoining the Superintendent's house and used as a recrea- tion ground for the convalescent patients
17. The insecurity of the Hospital premises on the north side also requires attention.
V. THE HOSPITAL STAFF.
18. An Assistant Medical Superintendent, a long needed want in this Institution, was appointed by the Secretary of State and Dr. TOOGOOD assumed the duties of this office on the 28th July though unfortunately he resigned his appointment on the 10th September, but I am pleased to say the vacancy was filled by the appointment of Dr Lowson on the 1st of November.
19. Mr. CROW on the arrival of the Sanitary Superintendent returned to devote the whole of his time to the duties of Government Analyst and Senior Apothecary.
20. Mr. WATSON resigning his appointment of Assistant Apothecary, on 31st May we were de- prived of the services of this officer. I take this opportunity of bearing testimony to the able and conscientious way in which he always performed his duties and regret very much to have lost his
services
21. Mr. ROGERS, the steward, left on the 10th January on a twelve months' leave of absence-a rest well deserved by this hard working and conscientious officer. Arrangements were made so that Mr. WATSON should fulfil this officer's duties. On Mr. WATSON's resignation Mr. WYLIE, the Ward- master in charge of the Lunatic Asylum, was appointed acting steward.
22. The two Chinese Apothecaries' assistants Mr. U I KAI and Mr. CHAU KAM-TSUN have performed their duties to my entire satisfaction.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
873
23. The clerical department has been increased by the appointment of Mr. LEUNG FU-CHU which was necessitated by the additional work caused by the increase in the number of the patients. I take this opportunity of thanking the Government for the additional assistance granted me.
VI. NURSING STAFF.
24. During the year this has been considerably improved by the appointment of two Army Medi- cal Staff Corps men as European Wardmasters a recommendation made by me last year and based on my previous experience of such officers at the Kensington Infirmary.
25. Wardmaster CHAPMAN arrived in the Colony on 17th January and forthwith commenced his duties; he has had seven years' experience in the Army Medical Staff Corps and is in every way a typical man for the post he now fills. I cannot speak too highly of the way in which he has always carried out his duties.
26. It is with much regret that I have to report the resignation of Wardmaster CARNEIRO in charge of the Small-pox Hospital owing to failing health. This officer had, I am given to understand, faithfully served the Government for upwards of thirteen years and had on several occasions es- pecially during the small-pox epidemic of 1887-88 performed arduous duties to my entire satisfaction, and I know his attention to patients generally has been very paiseworthy. He was laid up for the last two months of the year with bronchitis and cardiac disease he improved very much towards the end of December and much against my wish left the Hospital on the 31st of that month, he unfor- tunately had a relapse two weeks later and medical assistance was sent for but too late to be of any service.
VII-CHINESE NURSING STAFF.
27. CHAN A-LOK, the Chinese Wardmaster, resigned on the 13th July after twenty-five years' service. This officer has always shewn great interest in his work and I am sorry to lose his services.
28. I have again to report a considerable amount of sickness amongst the Nursing Staff, out of 63 officers 23 were warded during the year 11 of these were cases of malarial fever, mostly of a mild type. No officer died during the year. When the Chinese barracks are finished I hope to find a considerable diminution in this respect.

years.
30. From the foregoing it will be seen :-
(1.) That the number of patients under treatment in the Hospital during the year was 1,793 an increase of 21 as compared with the previous year, the total number of deaths was 79, thus giving a percentage of deaths 4.29, as against 451 of 1888 and 5.37 of 1887. Of these 79 deaths, 36 occurred within forty-eight hours after admission.
874
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
(2.) In addition to this there were 5,264 out-patients attended to during the year, this inc'u les the minor surgery cases treated in the Receiving Ward; these were principally scalp wounds, lacerated and contused wounds, dog bites, &c.
(3.) Out of the total number of in-patients 89 were females an increase of 21 as compared with last year, 5 of these were difficult obstetric cases all requiring instrumental assistance. It is to be re- gretted that the Chinese women do not seek assistance earlier, when they do cone it is simply as a last resource. Now that we have a competent Chinese amah in charge of the native female ward-a nurse who was well trained at Dr. KERR'S hospital in Canton -I should not be surprised if more Chinese women avail themselves of the advantages of skilled hospital treatment.
(4.) There were 67 less Police admitted than during the previous year further on examining the different nationalities it will be seen there was an increase of 19 European, a diminution of 49 Indian and of 37 Chinese Police.
I regret to have to record the deaths of 5 European Police from remittent fever of a par- ticularly malignant type.
During the past year there has been a greater prevalence of malarial cases no doubt a result of the severe rain-storms of last May.
The enormous down-pour of rain washed down great quantities of alluvial soil from the many landslips which occurred on the hillsi les, this being deposited on the lower levels with the high tem- perature and the excessive humidity gives all the con litions necessary for the evolution of ?nalaria.
(5.) There has been a remarkable immunity from cholera, and epidemic diarrhoea.
(6.) Dysentery contribute 124 cases, more than twice as many as in the previous year, with 9 deaths giving a mortality of 7.25 per cent. as against 9 26 last year.
There is no doubt that dysentery
and malarial fever are intimately connectel as to their causation, the increase during the past year being coincident with the increase in malarial fever cases bears this out.
(7.) Malarial fever contributed 423 cases as against 371 last year with 10 deaths giving a mortality of 2.36 per cent. This disease was much more fatal this year, the remittent cases being of a parti- cularly malignant type.
By far the greater majority of these cases were of the intermittent type viz.: 384 out of 423. I classify all those as intermittent in which with an initial high temperature often as high as 105° F. or 106° F. the temperature falls on the next morning to 99° F. or just above normal. In our treatment of these cases we have found the best result from the administration during the stage. of fever of antipyrin in 10-grain doses repeated every hour until the temperature falls to within. a degree of normal; this result is generally obtained after four or five doses, if the bowels have not been open in the previous twenty-four hours before giving the antipyrin one of Livingstone's powders containing 4 grains of calomel, 5 grains of quinine and 20 grains of compound Jalap powder is administered. As soon as the temperature has fallen quinine is administered in 5-grain loss every hour the result generally being that the temperature does not rise so high by 2 or 3 degrees as in the initial paroxysm of fever.
If we find the temperature is not kept down to this extent by these doses of quinine, after again giving the antipyrin as before, on the following morning after the fall has occurred quinine is given in 10-grain doses every hour and there are very few cases in which the fever does not succumb to this treatment and in from five to six days the patient is practically convalescent.
We have not lost one case of intermittent fever during the year.
Antipyrin certainly seems very efficacious in these cases, it promotes free perspiration and under its administration the temperature falls much quicker than when diaphoretics or other antipyretics are given.
In many mild cases in which the temperature only rises to say 102° or 103° F. in the initial stage a combination of antipyrin and quinine in the proportion of 8 grains of the former to 5 grains of the latter given every 4 hours is all that is necessary, the fever often succumbing to this treatment in three or four days.
Notwithstanding the large doses of quinine, in many cases as much as 2 drachms being given in the twenty-four hours, very few bad effects are produced and then only in a few cases tinnitus or slight deafness.
In the remittent type the patient is always much more prostrate, there is generally bilious vomiting present and the temperature does not fall more than a couple of degrees notwithstanding the hourly administration of antipyrin.
These cases during the past year have been of a peculiarly malignant type the nervous symptoms were much more marked and the temperature rapidly rose to as high as 107° F. or even 108° F., and in some cases 108 6° F. was registered, urgent measures are then required. As a rule when this occurs the stomach will reject everything.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
875
I have tried antipyrin injected subcutaneously. aconite and large doses of quinine all without avail and now when such rise has taken place our sheet anchor is "ice-packing" by this I mean that, the patient is placed on a mackintosh sheet covered with a sheet dipped in ice cold water and exposed to any breeze that may be present, ice being placed all over the patient and an ice bag to the head.
Generally in less than half an hour the temperature will fall as much as nine or ten degrees. The patient has to be carefully watched as collapse may set in, if it does this is combatted by enemata of brandy and beef tea or injections (hypodermic) of brandy.
When the temperature has fallen the patient is placed in a fresh bed and hot baths applied to the feet, the hypodermic solution of the neutral hydrobromate of quinine in 10-grain doses is then in- jected this is repeated in an hour and again in another hour. In many cases such energetic treatment will only be once necessary as the temperature does not rise so high at the next paroxysm and the patient gradually improves. In the interval champagne and soda water, Brand's essence of beef, ice and iced milk are administered in small doses repeated frequently. No ill results in the way of pneumonia, &c have followed such treatinent and by its means many of the severer cases have recovered. See Appendix (medical cases).
In some of the worst cases the temperature notwithstanding this will rise again as high as in the initial paroxysm then nothing appears to be of any avail death rapidly ensuing the patient's temper- ature frequently rising as high as 110° F. or 110-4° F.
The Table of malarial fever cases shews plainly the rise which occurs during the hot rainy season (June-September, the rise in November was probably caused by the fact that the hot weather con- tinued later on in October this year than is usual, the first spell of cold weather brought about a recrudescence of the disease in those who had been previously attacked the greater majority of these cases giving a history of a previous attack of malarial fever.
(8.) There were 32 cases of beri-beri under treatment, with 2 deaths as against 16 in the pre- vious year. Two of these were of the acute variety (Beri-beri hydrops) one recovering, the remainder were of the chronic variety (Beri-beri atrophia) one death occurring.
(9.) VENEREAL DISEASES.-There has been a marked increase in this class of diseases the numbers being 206 as against 118 in the previous year. Although many of these cases have been introduced into the Colony from other ports, I have no reason to believe that this has been more so than in the previous year. It therefore appears evident that the propagation of this class of disease within the limits of the Colony has increased, the greater majority are those suffering from Chancres Molles and Gonorrhea; the resulting buboes have been of a particularly indolent type many taking weeks to heal and then only after incision and the free use of Volkmann's spoon, this is no doubt accounted for by the fact that many of these cases occur in patients debilitated by previous attacks of malaria and alcholism.
(10.) There was one case of hydrophobia during the year, a Chinese boy at. 16 who had been bitten by a mad dog in Conton two months before his admission who was violently convulsed when admitted, hypodermic injections of Curari (-grain doses) were administered every half hour for three hours and although the paroxysins were lessened the improvement was only temporary. Chloro- form was then administered for some hours, during its influence the paroxysms again abated, but it had to be discontinued owing to weakness of the pulse. The paroxysms again recurred and he died nine hours after admission.
(11.) SURGICAL OPERATIONS.- During the year there have been 109 operations performed. There were five cases of gun-shot wounds admitted during the year the notes of three of which are given in the Appendix as being of some surgical interest.
HEPATIC ABSCESS.-There were three cases during the year all of which were operated on; two of which died. Post Mortem Examination shewed that these were post dysenteric and multilocular, in one case as many as fourteen abscesses were present. Although a large abscess had been opened in each case causing a temporary improvement, during treatment lasting in one for some weeks, an exacerbation set in and a fatal result ensued.
The third case was operated on in December last and improved very much after operation so much so that the fever entirely subsided and the patient was able to get up and walk about. The improvement continued the patient increasing in weight so that we had great hopes that this was a unilocular abscess, unfortunately the temperature arose on 23rd January he became much worse and died on 29th of that month. Post mortem examination shewed that the cause of this was the formation of three more abscesses, one about the size of an orange situated in the posterior part of the right lobe, the others being smaller. The original abscess which had been opened in November had healed up.
There is no doubt that dysentery was the cause of these abscesses as in each case there were well marked signs of previous ulceration in the colon.
MAJOR AMPUTATIONS.-There were four cases during the year, one of the arm and one of the thigh for extensive disease of the elbow and knee joint respectively, and one of the fore-arm and one of the leg for severe injury, all of these were attended with satisfactory results.
876
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
Amongst the other operations may be mentioned one of successful trephining for compound depressed fracture of the frontal bone, and one of excision of the hip-joint for advanced strumous disease. The notes of these cases were read before the Hongkong Medical Society the patients being present, the latter being also successful.
Fractures and DISLOCATIONS.-In addition to the surgical operations the following cases of fracture and dislocation were successfully treated during the year :-

In two of these cases the union was somewhat delayed-in one there was a compound fracture of right tibia and fibula and a comminuted fracture of left tibia and fibula these bones however ul- timately became firmly united.
(12.) Alcoholism contributed 44 cases of which 5 proved fatal, in three of the cases the patient was suffering from other diseases.
(13.) There were twelve cases of poisoning under treatment, ten of which were from opium of which six arrived too late for treatment; of the remaining two in one the poisonous agent was arsenic, and in the other stramonium.
Added to this Report are the notes of some cases of Surgical and Medical interest.
I also include a report of the cases treated in the Temporary Small-pox Hospital.
31. During the year thirty Post Mortem Examinations have been made.

33. The total amount of fees received from patients during the year was $11,444.49 of this the Board of Trade paid $2,163.00 and the Police $1,068.62. This is by far the largest amount yet re- ceived in any one year and shows an increase of $1,639.34 on that of the previous year deducting the fees received from the small-pox patients during the last two years the increase is $2,539.47.
This sum corresponding to over $200 a month was received from the increased number of private patients treated during the year, as the Board of Trade and Police paid slightly less than in the year 1888.
34. I wish to thank the Naval and Military Surgeons and the Civil Doctors for their able assistance frequently rendered, particularly at operations.
GIFTS OF FLOWERS, NEWSPAPERS, &c.
I take this opportunity of thanking many residents of the Colony for numerous presents of newspapers, books, &c., and particularly several ladies for their visits and gifts of flowers to the pa-
tients.
I have the honour to be,

Mist. Diaphoret 3i. 4 horis sdm
Low diet, milk and soda water was ordered; his temperature rose that evening to 105 6° F. the medicine was continued every four hours, during the night profuse perspiration set in and the next morning (the 6th) at 6 A.M. his temperature had fallen to 98.4°, a 5-grain dose of quinine was then administered, at 9 A.M. bis temperature was 98.5°, ten grains of quinine were now ordered every two hours and his temprature that day rose only to 99° F. (8 P.M.).
The next morning his temperature rose to 99.6° F. and in the evening at 8 P.M. was 101° F. The quinine was now discontinued and the aconite mixture given every 4 hours-the next morning the temperature fell to 99° F. the quinine was again given every two hours in 10-grain doses-that evening the temperature rose to 100° F. the next morning (8th) it was down to 97.8° the quinine was given as before, a mutton chop was ordered and the highest temperature recorded that day was 98.5° F. the following day it was normal and as the patient felt quite well-at his own request he was discharged from the Hospital.
Temperature chart (No. 1.) Appended.
This patient was re-admitted on August 28th at 7.50 A.M. with a temperature of 105° F. he said he had been well since his discharge from the Hospital until the previous day when the fever came on again. The following prescription was ordered as his skin was very dry.

midday temperature 105° F. 2.15 p.m. temperature 106.2° patient now vomited everything, so the medicine was discontinued; at 3 P.M. his temperature was 108° F. and at 3.45 P.M. it had risen to 108.2°.
As patient was now comatose and skin very dry, ice packing was at once commenced he being placed on a mackintosh sheet covered with a sheet dipped in ice-cold water which was changed every few minutes and ice packed all over his body-at 4.15 his temperature had fallen to 104.2° 20 minims of the neutral hydrobromate solution of quinine (1 in 6) was now injected hypodermically, ice packing being continued, for the next few hours his temperature was as follows:-

... 103° F. ....102° F.
.100° F. 99° F.
The ice packing was now discontinued and as he was slightly collapsed hot water bottles were applied and brandy administered internally. At 6.45 P.M. his temperature was 98.2°. Ten grains of quinine were now ordered every two hours which was retained, at 9 P.M. temperature 101 4°. 30th 6.45 A.M. temperature 101 6°; 9 A.M. temperature 102-4°.

31st. Temperature in morning 102.6° and at 8 P.M. 103° F. during the night it fell to 100o. Grains viii of quinine were now given every 2 hours in place of the antipyrin, as temperature rose next morning (1st September) to 103° the antipyrin was substituted that evening temperature fell to 101° F. and registered 100-4° at 8 A.M. on the 2nd only rising to 101-4° this day, two doses of anti- pyrin were given, and it again fell. One pint of chicken broth was now added to his dict.

The after course of the case will be seen from the chart (No. 2.) by the 10th the temperature had fallen to normal, and fish diet was now given, it took the patient some time to regain his strength. On the 12th full diet and the following medicine was prescribed.
R. Eastonii Syrupi, 3ss. Aq. ad i. tdsam.
He was discharged cured on the 20th September.
REMARKS.-The first attack was evidently one of intermittent fever, the second being of the remittent type. In these severe cases I am firmly of opinion that the only way to combat the fever is by the application of external cold and administering quinine hypodermically as soon as the tem- perature falls, it being useless to give it by the mouth as the stomach will not retain anything.
II.-CASE OF REMITTENT FEVER. HIGH TEMPERATURE. DEATH.
H. P. at. 23, Scotch, Police Constable.
Admitted to Hospital at 8 P.M. 11th August, 1889. Temperature on admission 102-8° F., the following medicine was ordered:
R. Antipyrin, grs. x.
Aq. ad. i. 2 horis sdm.
Temperature fell during the night and at 8 A.M. on the 12th was 99.8°, 5 grains of quinine were now ordered every hour, at midday the temperature was 100.2° F. One dose of antipyrin was substituted for the quinine and at 2 P.M. the temperature was 99°, in the afternoon the temperature had risen to 99-40, and at 8 P.M. it was 102° F., at 9 P.M. it had risen to 106 2° F., notwithstanding the adminis- tration of antipyrin, Dr. TooGOOD now saw the patient and ordered the following medicine :-----
R. Antipyrin, grs. XX.
Tr. Jaborandi m. xxx. Mist. Diaphoret ad. zi.
to be given at once and another dose in an hour's time as the skin was very dry and hot, at 9.45 P.M. the temperature had risen to 107.6° he was now placed in a bath temperature 98° F. this was cooled down by ice to 76° F. in 10 minutes his pulse began to intermit and became weaker in strength, he was removed from the bath and 3i. brandy was given; his temperature was now 101.4° F.
At 11 P.M. it had risen to 105·6°, at 11.30 P.M. it was 106° F., at 12.25 A.M. (13th) 107·4° and at 12.45 A.M. 108.6° F. ice-packing was at once commenced; at 1 A.M. temperature was 107 6° twenty grains of quinine were now given. At 1.23 A.M. it was 107°, as the temperature did not seem to fall notwithstanding the wet-packing another twelve grains of quinine were given. At 1.33 A.M. tem- perature was 105.2° F. at 2.15 A.M. 1048°, at 3.05 A.M. 101-4° F. and at 3.35 A.M. it registered 100.8° all during this time the pulse was quick and weak, small doses of iced champagne were frequently administered. Ice-packing was now discontinued; at 3.45 A.M. after he had been placed in bed sixty minims of the hydrobromate solution of quinine were injected hypodermically and 5 grains of quinine were ordered every hour in the form of a pill. At 5 A.M. it had however risen to 101.7° half an ounce of Warburg's Tincture was now given, at 6.30 A.M. it had risen to 104-2° F. and at 7 A.M. 105°. At 7.45 a.m. 105·8° F. was registered-wet packing was again commenced and con- tinued to 10 A.M. when it was 102.2° this was now discontinued ten minims of the hypodermic solution of quinine were administered, the temperature however steadily rose again and at 4.45 P.M. was 106.6° F., wet packing was again used and continued to 7.30 P.M. when the temperature had fallen to 99.8° F. Quinine was given as before, but notwithstanding that this was persevered with every hour the temperature steadily arose again and at 4 A.M. on the 14th registered 108° F. Recourse was again had to wet packing and the temperature by this means was lowered seven degrees by 7 A.M.
As will be seem from the chart (No. 3.) the temperature rose twice again that day to over 105° F. when the same treatment was used, this last time at 12 midnight the temperature fell in half an hour three-and-a-half degrees. It arose again steadily that day (15th) until 6.45 A.M. when it was 105.2° F. wet packing was again commenced, and continued until 8.45 A.M. when temperature was 100·6° F.
In the evening (7.30 P.M.) as the temperature had again risen to 105.8° and the skin was very dry two- thirds of a grain of pilocarpin was injected hypodermically and although in few minutes it produced profuse perspiration this was only temporary. The temperature fell in 20 minutes to 105 4° the skin how- ever soon became dry again and at 9.55 P.M. registered 108° F., wet packing was again commenced and notwithstanding this at 10.10 P.M., the temperature was 108 8°, at 10.25 P.M. it had fallen to 106·8°, as he was now in a state of collapse, pulse almost imperceptible, he was placed back in bed a hypodermic of brandy was now given, his temperature soon rose again, at 11.20 P.M. it was 108° and at II.35 P.M. the patient died, shortly after death the temperature (per rectum) was 110° F.
REMARKS. This was one of those peculiarly malignant cases of remittent fever in which qui- nine seems to have no effect.

III.-CASE OF INTERMITTENT FEVER. RECOVERY.
LUI A-KAN, at 18, Coolie.
Admitted 10 A.M. 1st September, 1889.
879
On admission he stated that he had felt unwell the previous day; his temperature was 100.4°--- skin very dry and complaining of pains in his limbs, headache and general feeling of "malaise "-at 11 A.M. his temperature had risen to 104° F., the following medicine was now given:-

At 11.30 A.M. his temperature had risen to 104-8° and at 12 noon to 106·6° F. As the medicine did not appear to have any effect and the temperature was steadily rising it was thought advisable to ice pack him; this was accordingly done in the manner already described in the previous case and in two hours his temperature by this means was reduced to 99.6°, the various observations during that time being as follows:-

As he was now somewhat collapsed he was replaced in bed between blankets and heat applied externally, ten grains of quinine being given by the mouth and repeated every two hours, his diet being milk and congee.
At 8 P.M. his temperature had risen to 102° F. and at 10 P.M. to 103.2°, the following medicine was now given.

and the result observed, at 11 P.M. his temperature had fallen to 102·8°, at 1 A.M. (2nd September) it was 102°, at 3 A.M. 101°, and at 6 A.M., it had fallen to 98.6° the antipyrin was now discontinued quinine given as before; that evening it rose again to 104.2° F. (8 P.M.) the antipyrin was now substituted and it rapidly fell, after 4 doses the temperature had fallen to 99.6° midnight, the quinine was again ordered and this time it was given in 10-grain doses every hour during the day, the temperature that evening did not rise above normal. As the temperature was normal on the morning of the 3rd 10- grain doses of quinine three times a day were ordered, a pint of beef tea being added to his diet with one pound of rice.
On the fourth the quinine was reduced to 5-grain doses thrice daily-and he was discharged cured on the 7th.
REMARKS. This was a case of intermittent fever with the paroxysm more marked than is usually the case, during the year we have had many such cases, as a rule however the temperature does not rise above 105° F. when if antipyrin be administered it almost immediately begins to fall profuse perspiration setting in-if we find antipyrin has not this effect we invariably now ice-pack these cases.
This patient had no return of the fever; I have been able to keep him under observation since that time, as he was soon after engaged as a Hospital servant.

1.-GUN-SHOT WOUND OF THE LEG AND THIGH.
WONG SAI SU, at. 12, Chinese girl, admitted in the Hospital 27th January, 1889, at 4.15 A.M. suffering from gun-shot wound of right lower extremity.
On admission :-There was an abrasion of the skin on the contiguous sides of the great toe and the second toe of the right foot, a round wound about the size of a five cent piece with clean cut edges on the inner part of the right leg three inches below the knee, and another wound on the inner surface of the lower third of the right thigh some 2" above the knee-this being much larger than the wound in the leg, the edges were not so clearly defined and more irregular.
Connecting these two wounds was a sinus running along under the skin.
The treatment consisted in syringing out the sinus with carbolic lotion, inserting a drainage tube between the two wounds and placing the limb on a macintyre splint; on the third day the temperature rose to 100.2° and there was evidence of "cellulitis." Warm lead and opium fomentations were applied.
880
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
February 10th Temperature again rose to 100-2°, an abscess formed in the inner side of the upper third of the leg behind the sinus, this was opened; another incision had to be made on the 16th February.
During the whole of this time there was a free discharge of slightly offensive shreddy pus from the original sinus.
The inflamation now subsided. On the 4th of March the drainage tube was removed as the dis- charge was very slight.
The sinus slowly healed up and on 14th March the limb was taken out of the splint, passive motion was commenced and continued with, and the patient was discharged cured on 28th April, she had then free use of her knee joint and could walk well with the aid of a stick.
REMARKS.-The wounds were caused by a bullet from a Martini Henry Rifle, the bullet evidently having passed between the great and second toes of the right foot then entered the leg three inches below the knee grazing the tibia and emerging on the inner surface of the thigh some 2 inches above the knee.
The girl at the time she was shot was lying in a sampan evidently with her leg somewhat flexed on the thigh.
II.-GUN-SHOT WOUND OF BACK.
YEE ON, at. 26, chinaman, admitted 4.20 P.M. 7th April, 1889, suffering from a gun-shot wound of back situated 1" below the angle of the scapula and 1" to left of the middle line. He was in a state of collapse having lost a considerable quantity of blood.
The patient was anesthetised and the wound examined; after enlarging the orifice of inlet and carefully probing the wound the bullet was at last found lodged in the arch of the eighth dorsal vertebra, the angle of the ninth rib having been grazed by the bullet, considerable difficulty was ex- perienced in finding it the patient being very muscular and the bullet being lodged pretty deeply some 4" from the surface thus necessitating great care in exploration.
It was firmly logded in the vertebra so much so that after seizing the bullet with the forceps considerable traction had to be used before it was dislodged.
The wound was plugged with lint saturated in carbolic oil, a small vessel being tied, and half grain of morphia was injected subcutaneously.
He slept well that night. On the evening of the 9th his temperature rose to 101.8°, on the morning of the 10th it was normal, 5 grains of quinine were given every four hours, temperature rose to 100-4° in evening of 10th, wound was doing well it having been dressed and syringed out each morn- ing with carbolic lotion--11th temperature morning 98.6° evening 99.8° after this the evening tem- perature generally rose to 99 4°, on the 12th the quinine was reduced to two 5-grain doses daily, he was discharged cured in May 22nd, 1889.
The bullet was about the size of a No. 44 and was marked by two irregular grooves evidently caused by its coming into contact with the rib and vertebra.
III. GUN-SHOT WOUND OF THE ORBIT.
CHAN A-LEUNG, at. 50, admitted on the 22nd April, 1889, at 6.15 P.M., suffering from a gun-shot wound of the head and face.
A meeting of the Hongkong Rifle Association was being held at Kowloon and this man was collecting pieces of lead behind the targets when he was struck, one of the markers at the 150 yards range seeing the man fall. I happened to be on the ground and was able to render immediate assist-
ance.
I found him bleeding freely from the nose and mouth, the right eyeball evidently being ruptured, the nares were plugged and a bandage applied to the eye, the man being in a state of collapse pulse 34, he rallied after the administration of some brandy and was conveyed in an ambulance to the Hospital.
The patient was immediately anathetised the eyeball was found to be quite disorganised and was excised, there was now seen to be a large wound of the floor of the orbit 1" by 3", this led down into the antrum and although I explored the wound thoroughly no trace of any bullet could be found the last molar on right upper jaw was extracted and an opening made into the autrum from the mouth for the purpose of drainage, his temperature that evening was 102°.
The temperature gradually fell and on the third day was normal, the wound granulated up very quickly, and the patient was discharged cured on May 25th- there being no further trouble.
The peculiarity in this case is that no trace of the bullet could be found, the man must evidently have been shot, whilst in the act of stooping, the bullet rupturing the eyeball and then entering the floor of the orbit.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.
There have been remarkably few cases of Small-pox under treatment only 19 patients have been admitted during the year, their respective nationalities will be seen from the following table :--

In three of these the patients were found to be suffering from diseases other than Small-pox, two being cases of Rotheln and the other one of Lichen. These were all vaccinated and did not contract Small-pox.
VACCINATIONS.
220 vaccinations have been performed, fifteen of these were unsuccessful.
CALF-LYMPH CULTIVATION.
During the past year certain experiments have been carried on by the Colonial Veterinary Sur- geon with reference to the cultivation of calf-lymph in the Colony. The results obtained were highly satisfactory.
I reported to the Colonial Surgeon on these experiments on the 21st May. C.S.O No. 1883. These demonstrate conclusively that calf-lymph can be cultivated locally and I recommend that a Calf-lymph Station be established, up to this we have been dependent upon England, America, Japan, and Australia for our vaccine lymph; it is unnecessary for me to point out the advantages of a constant supply of lymph being maintained locally.
Appendix D.
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE BLOOD AND SPLEEN OF CASES OF MALARIAL FEVER.
With regard to the intimate nature of malaria there is very little positively known.
Professors CRUDELI and KLEBS have described certain microscopic fungi met with by them in the Agro Romana, which they obtained from the lower stratum of the atmosphere, the soil and stagnant water-these when injected into rabbits produced a febrile disorder analogous to intermittent fever (KLEBS and TOMMASI CRUDELI, Archiv. f. Experimental Pathology 1879). Other observers in different parts of the world have discovered in the blood of patients suffering from malaria the presence of certain micro-parasites more especially LAVERAN, MARCHIAFAVA, and CELLI, Dr. OSLER of Philadelphia and of later years Dr. VANDYKE CARTER of Bombay.
In November of last year I made from the spleen of a patient who had died of remittent fever a microscopic preparation of the fresh pulp-prepared by taking some of the splenic pulp and treating it as one would the sputum of a phthisical patient in order to detect the tubercle bacilli-the staining agent used being rosaniline.
This showed distinctly with a Zeiss
Immersion lens O. 4. certain micro-organisms in the
splenic corpuscles of the nature of diplococci-these taking the staining re-agent well.
I also during the summer months made frequent microscopic examinations of the blood of patients suffering from malarial fever, e. g. :-
On September 14th at 9.10 P.M. a drop of blood was taken from the finger of a patient who was suffering from intermittent fever in the paroxysmal stage, temperature 105° F. and examined with a Zeiss E obj., 0 4. and with the Immersion lens, at first the blood looked perfectly normal at 9.20 P.M. the red corpuscles were found to be loaded with granules and here and there some large pigmented corpuscles with distinct motile filaments or flagella attached could be seen, at 925 P.M. a slight constriction was observed at the base of one of these flagella some of the granules could then be seen in the serum outside the corpuscles, at 10.30 P.M. the flagellum had become detached and at its side were seen some minute bodies (? sporules), at other times distinct motile filaments were seen moving about freely in the serum, whether these were detached flagella or not I cannot say.
These large pigmented bodies with flagella attached appear to be more of the nature of amoebo (micro-parasites).
I frequently repeated these experiments and always with the same result-if the blood was examined in the period of intermission none of these granules or pigmented bodies with flagella could be seen.
These observations are in themselves inconclusive but as they substantiate facts observed by others I thought them worthy of record-in future years I hope to be able to devote more time to this interesting study.

Enclosure 2.
Report from the Medical Officer in charge of Gaol Hospital.
VICTORIA GAOL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 24th February, 1890.
SIR,----I have the honour to submit a Report together with Statistical tables of the work done during 1889 in the Gaol Hospital.
2. It is gratifying to be able to state that the number of admissions into the Hospital was much smaller than it had been for the two preceding years. It amounts to only 244 men, 28 of whom were admitted on the first medical examinations (Vide Tables K. and L. and Table 0. for the particulars of those 28 cases).
Table K. shows also these various admissions monthly.
3. Although we had eleven cases of erysipelas and five of carbuncles, they were with a few excep- tions, of a mild form. Four prisoners died in the Hospital. These deaths resulted from pleuro-pneu- monia, remittent fever, plastic bronchitis, remittent fever and acute pernicious anamia.
One prisoner committed suicide by hanging himself in the cell on the same day in which he was sentenced.
4. The rates of sickness and mortality are given in the Table N.
5. The comparative immunity from serious disease during the past year is due, I think, to the im- proved sanitary condition of the Colony.
In this Gaol, as you are aware from your long professional connection with it and as Chief of the Medical Department, strict attention is always paid to hygienic injunctions.
6. Owing however to the fact that the prisoners belong to different social classes and occupations and come from all parts of the world, it happens sometimes that disease is seen in the Gaol long before it is met outside in the wards of hospitals. I was very much surprised when I found in the month of September of 1887, that a Chinese youth, who had been only nine days in the Gaol, was attacked by small-pox.
You will recollect that he was released on medical recommendation, by His Excellency the Governor, and sent to Tung Wah Hospital.
According to your Annual Report, small-pox did not become epidemic in the Colony till towards the end of November. Strange to relate, the case mentioned above was the only one which occurred that year in this Establishment, notwithstanding that small-pox prevailed in the neighbourhood. But in the following year in 1888, small-pox again made its appearance inside this Gaol, three prisoners suffering from it during the month of January and March.
7. The names of some cases that were attended outside the Hospital are given in the Table M. They reached a total of 217, which is greatly in excess of that of the previous year. No fewer than 74 prisoners had scabies.
Hitherto it has not been the custom to publish in the Annual Returns such diseases as trichiasis, small boils, pharyngitis and a few others which do not present serious character, yet these diseases and the treatment adopted are always registered in the books.
8. In this category is included a rather common complaint observed amongst those who go bare- footed and carry shot and stone.
The plantar surface of their feet are subject to one or more superficial abscesses about the size of a green pea. It would appear that cold weather favours its formation.
Of the 28 cases treated last year, 11 occurred in the month of February, 8 in March, while only
2 cases occurred in the month of April and 1 in May and June.
There were 40 such complaints in 1888. I am told that some Chinese purposely walk over any rough pointed ground that may present itself, with a view to developing these abscesses.
Almost all these cases were very easily cured by making a small incision for the pus to escape, and by applying afterwards a hot poultice over it.
9. Malingering is frequently resorted to by prisoners to evade punishment or for getting light labour.
This would at times have been very difficult for me to detect, but for the ready and able assist- ance which I always get from the Gaol Officers and above all, from the warders FLORES and HAMED. 10. Two prisoners, who were found to be suffering from leprosy, were deported. One of them returned to this Colony and was again committed to Gaol for larceny.
883
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
11. We began in January, 1888, to vaccinate the long sentenced prisoners with the exceptions of debtors and prisoners from Her Majesty's Army and Navy.
We found contrary to the current belief, that vaccination and inoculation are generally practised by the Chinese, but we have not yet met amongst the new prisoners a single instance of re-vaccination. The result of our work and inquiry on this subject for the past two years are embodied in the subjoined table.

Another advantage derived from this vaccination, is that old convicts that escaped identification by the detectives, are recognised at once by those marks they bore on their arms.
12. It is not to be wondered at that in China they have tried some means to check the virulence of small-pox which has repeatedly produced terrible havoc amongst its inhabitants. Chinese practi- tioners describe various methods of inoculation which, it is said, was discovered at the latter end of the second century for protecting a grandson of Prince TCHIU-SIANG (1). They have also learned by experience the dangers of inoculation.
13. Mr. FLORES has, as usual, carefully noted down and compiled the Table P. showing the weights of opium smokers during the first four weeks of their confinement in this Gaol, after having been deprived of the use of this drug.
14. The passing of Opium Ordinance has been the cause of many Chinese being convicted for breach of its provisions.
These offenders are generally weak and aged men. One was over eighty years old. Their advanced age precluded them from hard labour, and their state of health forbade them to be put entirely on the ordinary penal diet.
15. The great number of prisoners and the limited accommodation in the Gaol, do not allow the system of separate cells, so important also in hygienic aspect, to be unifor?nly adopted.
16. In a small Colony like Hongkong, it is not an easy thing for those who have been convicted of serious crimes to get situations.
The usual abode of these men is the Gaol, until by some way or other, they manage to leave this Colony.
It behoves the Surgeon to watch daily their power of physical endurance, and as often happens, when their health begins to break down, they are delighted with the idea that they will be excused, at least for a short time, from doing full penalty.
The repeated convictions and longer sentences which generally follow, render most of them callous and indifferent of their future welfare.
17. The aggregation of prisoners in the Gaol, is a constant source of anxiety to all those con- cerned and entails a large expenditure of money.
The majority of criminals are not permanently settled in this Colony. I believe that if influen- tial Chinese would establish a benevolent society for helping old offenders who are willing to emigrate, to get employment in some recently explored lands, the problem of over-crowding in the Gaol could be solved very satisfactorily.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH AUGUST, 1890.
Enclosure 3.
Report of the Government Analyst.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 20th May, 1890.
SIR,-I have the honour to submit a statement of the work done in the temporary Laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1889.
2. In the middle of March I was relieved of my duties in the Sanitary Department by the return from leave of absence of Mr. HUGH MCCALLUM, the Sanitary Superintendent and Secretary to the Sanitary Board. The period during which I acted for this officer extended from October 1st, 1887, to March 14th, 1889.
3. On the 30th of April Mr. W. MALCOLM WATSON retired from the service but his successor did not enter on his duties until February 16th of the present year. The additional work in the Hospital Pharmacy caused by this vacancy devolved on the two Chinese student apothecaries and myself.
4. Toxicological.-Only one investigation under this head was ordered by the Government during 1889. In this case no poisonous principle could be detected in the contents of the stomach forwarded by the Officer in charge of the post mortem examinations.
5. Alcoholic Liquors.-In April and August, specimens of Brandy and Whiskey were analyzed at the request of the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police with the object of ascertaining if the samples were adulterated within the meaning of Ordinance 21 of 1886, sec. 2. Negative results were obtained in both cases.
6. In December an examination was made at the instance of the Police Authorities of an alleged medicated spirit. The question as to whether or not this preparation was an intoxicating liquor within the scope of section 6 of The Spirit Licences Ordinance was one for the Magistrate to decide. The sample yielded 6 per cent. of Extract and 84 per cent. of Proof Spirit. Personally I do not see how such a liquor recommended for the cure of a variety of ailments could be regarded as intoxicating under this Ordinance unless evidence was forthcoming that it was used as a beverage instead of ordinary wine or spirit.
7. Milk.-There were no analyses of milk during the past year.
8. Water-Magazine Gap.-In June an analysis was made for the Sanitary Board of a sample of water drawn from a well in the vicinity of the Magazine Gap. The water was certified as being in every way suited for drinking and general domestic purposes.
9. Pokfulam Reservoir.-During June and July a considerable amount of time was devoted to the analysis of the water supplied to the City from this reservoir. After the heavy rains of the preceding month the quantity of suspended matter in this water had considerably increased. The chief object of the analysis ordered by Government was to ascertain if there were reasonable grounds for assuming that sewage had gained access to the water. In this respect the results of the analysis were highly satisfactory. The quantity of nitrogen yielded as Albuminoid Ammonia was not excessive for water collected from large catchment areas in uncultivated districts. The amount of oxygen required to oxidize the organic matter was lower than the quantity that had been observed after very heavy rains in former years. The only objectionable feature was the dense brown turbidity, due for the most part to inorganic matter in suspension. This turbidity of the Pokfulam water had for some time past engaged the attention of the Government. At no period of the year with the existing works at the source of supply could the water be delivered perfectly clear and bright. It is therefore gratifying to know that the works for filtering this water are now in progress and that there is every ground for assuming that on their completion no complaint under this head will be made in future.
10. As to the cause of the presence of such a large amount of suspended inorganic matter, various opinions were at the time expressed. By many people it was attributed to the cleansing of the reservoir during the preceding dry season: by others to the loosening of the ground within the catchment area (a) by building works and (b) by the planting of trees. Not much weight could be attached to the former opinion as no physical comparison could be made between the debris previously removed from the reservoir bed and the deposit obtained on allowing large quantities of the water to settle. I am of opinion that the loosening of the earth was the primary cause. connection with tree planting I remember that this question was brought before the Sanitary Board at a meeting held in the early part of 1888. The Board expressed itself in favour of the proposal, the Chairman (Mr. PRICE) being the only member who dissented from the opinion of the rest of his colleagues.
In
11. It is to be hoped that every effort will be made to prevent the cutting and exposure of earth, no matter what the object may be, in future, otherwise the skill of the engineers will, I fear, fail to ensure during the rainy season a supply of clear and bright water. The presence of suspended

matter to the extent of from 5 to 15 grains per gallon will severely tax the resources of the filter beds. However in any case the engineers will be able to fall back on the alum treatment. In the form of an appendix to this report will be found a few general observations on the application of this process to turbid waters of the Pokfulam type. I understand that the works now in course of construction for improving the quality of this water will include special facilities for treating the suspended matter by the alum method.
12. At the request of the Honourable Surveyor General periodical analyses of this water were made during the rainy season.
13. Private Well.--In October an analysis was ordered by Government of the water from a well within the precincts of the Hongkong Club. Now that there is an abundant supply of water from Taitam no excuse can be made for the use, for dietetic purposes, of water from shallow wells within the City of Victoria.
14. Mineralogical.-One specimen of Galena was examined in October.
15. Students. Both the senior and junior student apothecaries have worked well during the past year.
The pressure of work has at times been so continuous as to necessitate arrangements being made for one officer to be always on duty. In the undermanned condition of the Department this measure has made serious raids on the time that should be devoted to recreation. Both students deserve commendation for the cheerful assistance rendered during an unusually heavy year.
16. An important change has been sanctioned by Government respecting these native assistants in the Hospital Pharmacy. In 1881 a scheme was inaugurated on the recommendation of my pre- decessor under which Chinese youths would receive a training in the prae of Western Pharmacy. They were required to enter into an agreement to serve a pupilage of five years.
Provision was made for their receiving an allowance of $10 a month rising by annua increments of $24 to $18 a month. It was presumed that, at the end of their pupilage, they would be able to secure remu- nerative positions as trained pharmacists amongst their fellow countrymen. The majority of the youths appointed have, however, formed an opinion after becoming practically acquainted with their duties that the chance of their finding employment would be very remote.
17. Dissatisfied with their prospects two out of the three appointed since 1881 have sent in their resignations before serving half the period for which they engaged themselves. I might here point out that the primary object in appointing these students was to so relieve the Apothecary of mere routine work as to enable the Department to manufacture pharmacopoeial preparations that hitherto had been obtained from England. In the original scheme it was contemplated that a new student would be appointed once in every two years and a half.
18. Under these circumstances it will be readily understood that the continual presence of un- trained or half-trained youths in this branch of the Department would be a source of endless anxiety to the officer responsible for their actions. In May last the Government approved of a modification of the original scheme under which if the present students make satisfactory progress with their studies they will be retained as permanent assistants. Under the new arrangement the students will receive pay during their pupilage at the rate of $10 a month rising by annual increments of $60 to $30 a month. It has not yet been decided what their pay will be if the Government retain them as permanent assistants at the close of their pupilage.
19. Laboratory.-The Government analytical work has been conducted in the temporary laboratory provided in this Hospital. I understand that within one year from this date, the new laboratory attached to the quarters for a portion of the Medical Staff will be finished, when it will be possible to finally dispense with the existing make-shift arrangements.
20. A proposal has been made that I should be allowed to devote full time to analytical work in order that I may undertake the periodical examination of the Colonial gas supply and also the analyses required by the Sanitary Department in connection with The Public Health Ordinance. In my dual capacity as Apothecary and Analyst I have been compelled to relegate to a subordinate place the analytical work contemplated in the duties of the office to which I was appointed in 1883, viz.: that required in cases of criminal poisoning. Any extension of these duties must obviously be accompanied by a corresponding limitation of the calls to be made on my time in respect of the work in the Hospital Pharmacy.
I have the honour 39 be,
Sir,
Your inost obedient Servant,
Dr. PH. B. C. AYRES,
Colonial Surgeon and Inspector of Hospitals.

Appendix.
THE PURIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER BY ALUM.
Messrs. J. A. WANKLYN and E. T. CHAPMAN in their treatise on Water Analysis (1879, p. 121) refer, on the authority of the late Admiral SHERARD OSBORNE. to the use by the Chinese of alum for the purification of the water of the river Peiho at Tientsin; and many European travellers in China are familiar with the rough and ready method the natives adopt in out-of-the-way places for securing a supply of clear water by this agency.
2. To Europeans generally the method is perhaps not so familiar as that known as the "Clark process," chiefly because the necessity for the employment of alum is not so frequent as in cases where lime would be the more preferable reagent. Waters highly charged with carbon dioxide and containing a large amount of chalk in solution may be readily freed from the excess of chalk by the addition of lime; but for the purification of turbid water containing clayey matter in suspension there is no process which gives such satisfactory results as the alum treatment. Broadly speaking the lime or "Clark process is applicable to clear water containing an excess of inorganic matter in solution; the alum method to waters containing but little inorganic matter in actual solution but a large amount in suspension. The water collected on the island of Hongkong on the hill-slopes between Victoria Peak aud Mount Kellet and stored in the Pokfulam reservoir affords a good illus- tration of the latter type. In the report of the analyst to the Government of this Colony for the year 1882 Mr. MCCALLUM gave the results of the monthly analyses of this water. The average quantity of total solid matter in solution in 1882 was 3-4 grains per gallon, 4·7 being the highest and 31 the lowest readings. The water was always more or less turbid.
3. About six years ago I made some experiments with a view to devising a scheme for treating this water with a precipitant as it was impossible with ordinary filters to clarify the water.
It was found that alum in the proportion of 3 grains to the imperial gallon gave highly satisfactory results. After a few hours the water could be filtered perfectly clear and bright.
4. In June last year when the Pokfulam water was unusually turbid after the terrific rain-storms of the preceding month, I made analyses before and after the alum treatment. In the subjoined schedule will be found the results expressed in grains per imperial gallon. The figures are very instructive. Water containing 19.6 grains of total solid matter in solution and suspension yielded after treatment with alum and filtration only 2-8 grains per gallon. It will further be noted that the albuminoid ammonia figure and the quantity of oxygen required to oxidize the organic matter are reduced by one half. The appearance of water so purified leaves nothing to be desired. Such a water combines the organic purity of water from deep wells in chalk formations with the freedom from inorganic matter displayed by the best upland surface waters.
5. In the annual report of the State Geologist of New Jersey for 1884 the application of the alum process for the purification of the new Brunswick city water was dealt with at some length by Professors PETER F. AUSTEN and FRANCIS A. WILBER. The Chemical News of May 22nd, 1885, (Vol. 51, p. 241) contained a reprint of this section of the report. The authors found that "by the addition of 2 grains of alum to the gallon water can be clarified by standing and that neither taste nor physiological properties will be imparted to it by this treatment. By increasing the amount of alum the time required for the separation and settling can be diminished, and vice versa, by diminish- ing the amount of alum added, a greater time will be required for the clarification."
They also found that 1-2 grains to the gallon was practically the smallest amount that could be employed so as to cause a separation and settling of the suspended matter. They further proved on subjecting the deposit to ultimate analysis that a large amount of organic matter was precipitated along with the silica, alumnia, &c.
6. My own observations in the treatment of the Pokfulam water with alum are in the main iden- tical with those of Professors AUSTEN and WILBER in the case of the New Jersey water.
In practice it has been found useful to employ 3 grains of alum to the gallon. Within an hour of the addition of the salt the water can be readily filtered perfectly clear; complete subsidence of the suspended matter can be effected with this quantity in two or three days according to the state of the water. When the water is excessively turbid the porportion of alum should be slightly increased.
7. For the Pharmacy and wards of the Hongkong Civil Hospital the water is treated in a tank of the capacity of 400 gallons. The supply-tap communicates with a flexible india-rubber tube which is attached to a float so as to allow the orifice to remain about 2 inches below the surface. In this way by drawing off the upper layer, instead of waiting for the whole of the suspended matter in the tank to subside, the water is available for use in a much shorter time.
I have never found it necessary to use alum in a larger proportion than 1 oz. to 100 gallons (4 grains to gallon). On the direct testing of water so purified the presence of alum could not be detected with the reagents in ordinary use.

DIRECTIONS FOR TREATING DRINKING WATER WITH ALUM.
Into an ordinary Chinese water bucket put about 20 grains of alum, in coarse powder or as much as can be easily placed on a one-cent piece. Add a small quantity of water and stir until the alum is completely dissolved then fill the bucket with water.
Or, prepare a standard solution of alum by dissolving half an ounce of the salt in sufficient water to fill an ordinary wine bottle and use a sherry-glassful of the solution for every bucket of water.
On a large scale the water may be clarified by dissolving a 1?4 or ard of an ounce of alum in as much water as will fill an ordinary Shanghai bath-tub.
With this proportion of alum the water will become clear in twelve or eighteen hours; if, however, a supply is required in a shorter time, use double the quantity of alum.
The vessel should be rinsed out each time with fresh water before refilling and treating as above. Water from the mains treated in this way should be used for domestic purposes in preference to water from any of the wells in the city of Victoria.

This Standard Work on theChinese 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 ofChina, 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.

Now therefore, I, FRANCIS FLEMING, Officer Administering the Government and Commander-in- Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, in pursuance of the said Regulation, and by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby under my hand declare and proclaim that Shanghai and Nagasaki are ports at which an infectious or contagious disease prevails.

DIRECTIONS FOR NEW NORTH CHANNEL.
Notice is hereby given, that on and after the 20th July, the new North Channel may be used for crossing Wide Bay Bar in the daytime by keeping the two square beacons on Hook Point in a line bearing N. 70° W. (true magnetic) until the two triangular beacons on the Western side of the houses on Inskip Point come in line bearing S. 64° 30′ W. (true magnetic) then haul up and keep them in that line until past the red buoy marking the spit off Hook Point, when proceed
as usual.
By Night, keep the two white lights on the square beacons on Hook Point in a line bearing N. 70° W. (true magnetic) until the red and white lights on the triangular beacons on Inskip Point come in line bearing S. 64° 30′ W. Keep them in line until well between the two points. Vessels must not open this line to the westward until past the Hook Point Spit.
By following the above directions the Bar may be crossed at present with a depth of 16 feet at low-water spring tides; but, as the channels are constantly changing, the lead should not be neglected, as probably after the next heavy weather further alterations may take place.

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 alphabet cally arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language ofthina, 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 Furaames, will be published and sold se; arately.

By His Excellency FRANCIS FLEMING, Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.
Whereas by Regulation No. 2 made by the Governor in Council on the 30th day of July, 1886, under the provisions of Section 1 of Ordinance No. 9 of 1883, it is provided that the term "port or place at which any infectious or contagious disease prevailed means a port or place proclaimed to be such by order of the Governor in Council published in the Gazette from the date of such proclamation.'

Whereas it is necessary to proclaim the port of Shanghai in the Empire of China and the port of Nagasaki in the Empire of Japan as infected ports.
Now therefore, I, FRANCIS FLEMING, Officer Administering the Government and Commander-in- Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, in pursuance of the said Regulation, and by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby under my hand declare and proclaim that Shanghai and Nagasaki are ports at which an infectious or contagious disease prevails.

This Standard Work on the hinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanehi'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.

REPORT ON THE SEPARATE SYSTEM OF MAIN-DRAINAGE. (Plans accompanying this Report are not printed.)
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 24th August, 1888.
SIR, I have the honour to transmit you the enclosed preliminary Report of Mr. F. A. COOPER, on the Separate System of main-drainage for the city of Victoria and to recommend his propositions to the favourable consideration of His Excellency the Governor.
2. The adoption of the Separate System will be in harmony with the drainage provisions of the new Public Health Ordinance.
3. The main features of the Project are four, viz.
(i.) The dissociation of the sewage of houses from storm-waters.
(ii.) The rapid conveyance of the town-sewage to the sea and its innocuous disposal in the tidal current by means of separate glazed stoneware drain-pipes of a bore comparatively small because of the elimination
of storm-waters.
(iii) The admission of a limited proportion of rain-fall into these proposed foul water drains; and
(iv.) The escape of storm-waters and sub-soil drainage into the sea as heretofore through the present main
drains of the city which remain undisturbed.
4. The dissociation of house-sewage from storm-waters will so greatly reduce the volume of foul water to be dealt with, and will make that volume so manageable as to enable small diameters to be used for the principal arteries, and due to this circumstance the project will be feasible at an outlay that is moderate compared with the relative expense that would attend the construction of the same length of main sewers under the Combined System which requires-in consequence of our heavy rain-falls-that all channels be of an unduly large and costly size. The estimated cost of the four proposed new foul water mains comprised in this scheme, together with their branches and all contingent works amounts to $230,000, but as the eastern district of Victoria is found to be nearly on a dead level and as it is found impos- sible to give the proposed eastern main a gradient or inclination sufficient to induce a self-cleansing velocity, it will be necessary eventually to dispose of the sewage of Wantsai and Bowrington at some additional outlay by conveying it as far east as North Point where the tidal scour is at its greatest and there establishing a steam-pumping station, an expedient commonly resorted to in English towns similarly circumstanced. These extra works are estimated at $113,000 making the total cost $343,000.
5. The establishment of the Separate System of drainage will in no way nullify or minimize the importance of the main drainage improvements which have been effected by the Government from year to year during the last ten years, for even if house-sewage is now diverted to special channels of its own, properly built rain water drains of adequate sectional area and laid to proper falls are none the less a necessity to the city for the removal of sub-soil drainage and
storm-waters.
6. The Separate System can be carried out without adding to the expense of house-owners, for it will impose no greater burthen on the landlord to connect his house-drain with a Government main sewer under the Separate System than with one under the Combined System. Two house-drains--one for dirty water and one for rain water-will not be required of him. His roof drainage and the rain which falls upon his back-yard may in most cases be allowed to escape over the surface through gutters into side-channels, and thence into the nearest of the numerous street gratings which everywhere communicate with the storm-water drains.
7. The Separate System of drainage is no new experiment in European cities. As its advantages are brought to light by practical experience it is becoming every year more generally adopted by Municipal and other public Bodies. To Hongkong, if not adaptable before owing to the inadequacy of the public water supply, it will be specially adaptable now for the first time that we have a new reservoir admitting of a daily consumption of water in every house in the town sufficient to afford the drains in the shape of waste waters that volume of dry weather flow throughout the winter which is essential to the effective working of a system that seeks to act in a measure independently of rain.
8. Though Mr. COOPER's Report relates principally to main drainage I wish to invite His Excellency's special attention to that portion of it wherein he refers incidentally to house-drains for it is impossible to overestimate the importance of remedying as early as possible the evils to which he alludes.
9. Up to the passing of the new Public Health Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2 of 1897) the law on this branch of practical sanitation was inadequate for securing efficient house-drains. The Statute Book contained no provisions for the class of materials to be used in their construction, nor yet did it prescribe the method of that construction, nor were there any provisions for trapping, ventilation, or disconnexion. The result of this inadequacy of the Law was that the
932
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
Public Works Department was ever in conflict on the subject of house-drains with landlords who deeply resented what were considered the expensive whims of the Surveyor General, whims which they alleged they did not find supported by any special definition of the law.
10. In 1884 a Public Health Bill designed to meet this evil-together with many others--was drafted and submitted for the consideration of the Colonial Government, but for reasons into which it is unnecessary to enter here, that Bill unfortunately was never presented to the Legislature until the assumption of the Government by His Excellency General GORDON CAMERON in 1887 when it was passed by him in spite of the opposition of the landlord interest.
11. Again a further delay arose from a request of the opponents of the Ordinance-that it might not be confirmed until a Petition which they were to frame against it--had been previously considered by the Secretary of State, but after a lapse of three months no Petition being yet forthcoming, the Governor was obliged to inform these gentlemen that unless their Petition was presented within a stated period the Ordinance must be transmitted home without it. A third and of course unavoidable delay occurred in the reference of the Ordinance by the Secretary of State to the Local Govern- ment Board, in the consideration of it by the latter, and finally in the confirmation of it by Her Majesty the Queen.
12. The Ordinance has been in force since the 2nd of June, 1888, but more delay has occurred, for after a lapse of over two months it has not yet been found possible to pass in the Sanitary Board the Bye-Laws relating to house-drains; even the original motion made by me to give preference to this most urgent matter was not carried without opposition.
13. These delays are unfortunate as it is of urgent importance to the Public Health that the reconstruction of defective and insanitary house-drains should be grappled with without further loss of time, and this can be done without any need whatsoever of waiting for the adoption or otherwise of the Separate System as pointed out by Mr. COOPER in his Report.
14. The many miles of modern main sewers that have been built by the Government within the last ten years and which have almost entirely replaced the former old defective main drains of the earlier days of the Colony, more especially in the upper levels of the city, have been well constructed and laid to proper falls as testified to by Mr. CHADWICK in his Report on the Sanitation of Hongkong, but it is clear that in spite of the best workmanship and of every precaution the newest and best built main-drain in the world will become an offensive nuisance along its whole length if the liquid matter that is led into it at every step from the connexion drains of private houses, is already in a high state of decomposition by reason of previous long stagnation, and this is what is now occurring in the city of Victoria and calling for an early remedy,
15. The remedy to be adopted to remove the bad smells in the streets which are found to emanate from the Government main sewers is so obvious that no person examining the matter for himself can fail to see it. The evil must be attacked at its source: that is--at the house-drains. All house-drains found in a defective and insanitary condition, wherein kitchen and other foul waters stagnate and ferment for long periods, must be taken up and relaid to proper falls in impervious glazed stoneware in lieu of porous black brick, and must be furnished with those safeguards to health in respect of trapping, ventilation, and disconnexion which are now clearly specified in the new Ordinance and its proposed Bye-Laws. When properly reconstructed and passed by the Sanitary Board such house-drains may be connected with the present main-drains, and when the time arrives for laying the new pipe mains on the Separate System, it will be the duty of the Public Works Department to see that the connexion between such improved house-drains and the new Government mains is properly effected free of cost to the house-owner.. If groups of the worst of these defective old house-drains are taken in hand at the same time and dealt with in rapid succession-and there is no reason why this. should not be done the Sanitary Board at the end of twelve months will be already far on the road to relieve the public frequenting the streets of the city from the smells that have given rise to complaints, and what is far more important, as regards the inmates of private dwellings, the Board will have done more for their health and comfort than could possibly be obtained at this moment from any other form of sanitary improvement.
16. I make the foregoing remarks lest it be misapprehended that the consideration of the Separate System need retard early drainage reforms in private premises.
17. Although Mr. COOPER, since his arrival in the Colony, has been devoting a large portion of his time to the study of our local conditions with a view to the adoption of the best system of public main-drainage to be devised for the city, the vast amount of detail which had to be mastered by him before he could arrive at definite conclusions, has made it impossible to place his Report before the Governor at an earlier date. The delay, however, is not to be regretted, as it has enabled a very complete investigation to be made into a matter which is all important to the health of the community, and in this connexion, I deem it my agreeable duty to bring to the notice of His Excellency the very thorough manner in which Mr. CoOPER has carried out this preliminary portion of his work.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J. M. PRICE,
Surveyor General.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,
933
HONGKONG, 23rd July, 1888.
SIR,-In accordance with the instructions received from the Government, I have the honour to report that I bave carefully studied the question of the main-drainage of the city of Victoria and now beg to submit the following observa-
tions.
Since my arrival in the Colony early in January I have been making myself acquainted with the existing main- drains and I have at length obtained the necessary local information to enable me to lay before you a complete scheme of sewerage and sewage disposal. Accompanying this Report I forward:
1. Diagrams showing the Hongkong rain-fall.
2. Plans showing the tidal currents in the harbour as indicated by Aoat experiments.
3. Plans showing the existing drains.
4. Plans of the City--Sheets I, II, III, showing the proposed works.
5. Sections along the proposed lines of main sewers.
TOPOGRAPHICAL.
The city of Victoria as will be seen from the Ordnance Survey lies on the northern slope of the range of hills running from east to west across the Island, and extends from North Point on the east to the Sulphur Channel on the west, the harbour forming the northern, and the 400-foot contour line above sea level, the southern boundary of the city. With the exception of the level portion of the lower town between Queen's Road, and the Praya, and of the Wantsai district, the whole of the ground has a steep declivity towards the harbour.
The level portions, to a very large extent, have been reclaimed from the sea and consequently the buildings have heen erected upon made ground of a more or less porous character. The rest of the city is built on disintegrated granite in various stages of decomposition. In some parts the soil is what is locally known as red earth, in others there is a large proportion of hard rock immediately underlying the surface. On studying the levels it will be observed that the city is naturally divided into several distinct drainage areas, the principal water partings running nearly north and south, or at right angles to the line of Praya.
The method of house construction and the habits of the Chinese are subjects which have been dealt with by Mr. CHADWICK, in his exhaustive Report on the Sanitary Condition of Hongkong, as recently as 1882, and as in that Report Mr. CHADWICK enters very fully into native local habits and customs so far as they come within the scope of the Sanitarian I propose here only to add a few supplementary remarks with reference to the growth of the city of Victoria since Mr. CHADWICK's Report was written and to the probable still further extension of the city.
Since 1882 sea reclamations at Kennedytown and Slaughter-house Point on the west and at Causeway Bay on the east, have been carried out by the Government, and the two first of these reclamations are to a considerable extent already built over.
The Causeway Bay reclamation has not yet been utilized for buildings but a few houses have been erected on the Shaukiwan carriage road a little further to the eastward. In the upper town new sites have been opened further up the hillsides above the level of the Bonham and Caine Roads. Many houses in the Chinese quarter have been rebuilt in a better style and increased in height with a view to affording further accommodation.
The population of Victoria in 1882, was 163,000 it is now 180,000.
The western district of the town situated below the level of the Pokfulam Road, High Street and Bonham Road as far eastward as Ladder Street is almost entirely occupied by Chinese tenements with the exception of the Gas Works, the Sailors' Home, the Government Civil Hospital Buildings and some large Godowns or ware-houses along the Praya.
On that portion of the Western District situated above the level of the Pokfulam Road, High Street and Bonham Road no Chinese houses are allowed, a recent local enactment entitled The European District Reservation Ordinance (16 of 1888,) making it illegal to build any but European houses above such levels.
This higher portion of the Western District is at present only partially built over. The line of water conduit from Pokfulam practically bounds the probable future extension southward of building operations in the Western and Central Districts.
The Central District situated between Ladder Street on the west and Garden Road on the east, is occupied below the levels of Gough Street, Gage Street, Lyndhurst Terrace, Wellington Street, and Ice House Lane, mainly by Chinese houses. Along each side of Queen's Road are to be found the better class of Chinese shops, there are however situated along Queen's Road and the Praya, several European shops and most of the mercantile hongs, this being the European business part of the city. The upper portion of the Central District is occupied by European residences and public buildings including Government House, the Government Offices and the Gaol. The Botanical Gardens are also situated in this district. The portion above the Caine Road is only partially built on.
The next division between Garden Road on the west to Arsenal Road on the cast is occupied almost entirely by the Naval and Military buildings. Eastward of Arsenal Road, follows ths thickly populated Chinese district of Wantsai. The buildings along the Eastern Praya are principally ware-houses, there are also, however, some European tenements

in the Eastern District, among others the Royal Naval Seaman's Hospital and European residences on Morrison Hill, Caroline Hill, and Leighton Hill, all situated in extensive grounds of their own. In this district there is still room for further building.
With the exception of the extreme western suburb of Kennedytown, and small portions of the Wantsai and Causeway Bay Districts on the eastern side of the town, the whole of the lower levels of the city are closely built over.
In the mouth of March of this year, the Registrar General caused a census to be taken in three districts of the western part of the city, of the respective areas of 13, 7·71, and 3.52 acres including streets, with the result that an average population was found of 1,077 1,602 and 488 persons to the acre in the three districts respectively. I'doubt if this density of population is reached in any city or town of the United Kingdom or of the continent of Europe. In considering however the question of the effect of overcrowding on the health of the population of Victoria. the fact must not be lost sight of that the city is of but limited width, occupying only a narrow strip of ground, with an extensive harbour on its northern, and with a considerable open space on its southern side.
METEOROLOGY.
Rain-fall. It will be seen from table No. 1, which I have compiled from the Reports of the Director of the Government Observatory that the island of Hongkong is subject to very heavy rain-fall during short periods. I submit herewith some information on this subject in the form of diagrams shewing the great variations in the amount of rain-fall during different months in the year. The contrast between the heavy rain-falls that annually occur between May and September and the small raiu-fall recorded during the months of January, February, November, and December is particularly noticeable.
Temperature, Humidity, Duration of Sunshine.-In table No. 2 will be found the mean monthly temperature obtained from hourly observations also the mean humidity for each month, and the total duration of sunshine. The temperature ranges from about 45° to 90° Fahrenheit, and the humidity in 1887 ranged from 19 to 95.
Winds.-Table No. 3 gives the direction, duration and velocity of the winds for each month in the year.
Easterly winds predominate nearly the whole year but southerly winds occur to a large extent during the months of May, June, July, August, and September. The Meteorological Observatory is situated on the Kowloon peninsula 110 feet above sea level,

TIDES.
939
The tides in the harbour of Hongkong are semi-diurnal but considerable difference often exists between the heights of two consecutive tides, the higher being called the "superior" and the lower the "inferior" tide.
The difference in height of superior and inferior tides depends mainly upon the moon's declination either north or south of the equator.
At the times of the moon crossing the equator the tides are equal.
The maximum range of tide may be taken as eight feet and the highest water under ordinary circumstances as 8 feet above Ordnance Datum and the lowest 1 foot below that Datum.
Tidal Observations.-With a view to ascertaining the general effect of the tidal currents at the points proposed for the sewer out-falls, i.e., Belcher's Point to the west of the city and North Point to the east, I made in conjunction with Mr. JAS. SAMPSON of the Public Works Department several float experiments on the 27th and 28th of February last during the North East Monsoon, and again on the 21st and 22nd of August during the South West Monsoon.
The floats used consisted of wooden buoys conical in shape, five feet in height and two feet in diameter from which were suspended wrought iron vanes 4 feet by 1 foot 6 inches of T shape construction and so designed as always to keep the larger surface of the vane square to the current. The total weight of a float was 236 lbs. and the depth of the vane below the surface of the water was about 7 feet.
Surface floats constructed of wood were also set adrift and watched during the day, but their course followed so closely on that of the sunken vanes that further observation of them was abandoned soon after sunset as unnecessary. A boat with adequate crew was detailed to watch the drifting of each float and to follow it day and night, and having a steam-launch at our disposal we were able to visit each float periodically and to note its change of position.
On the plan submitted herewith the relative positions of the several floats at the various times of our visits are shewn, the approximate course between each observation being sketched in. I will now briefly describe the courses of the floats.
On the morning of February the 27th (during the North East Monsoon) at 10.15 A.M. float No. 1 was set adrift off North Point on the ebb tide, the course followed by this float is indicated in the plan by a red line.
At 10.30 A.M. float No. 2 was started about three quarters of a mile east of North Point; its course is indicated by a blue line.
Both these floats got into an eddy in Quarry Bay. No. 2 grounded in shallow water and on being moved out to the position of the surface float it closely followed the course of No. 1.
At 11 A.M. float No. 3 was set adrift off North Point and nearly made the Lyemun Pass; its course being indicated by the
green line.
At 12.30 p.m. No. 4 was started off North Point; its course is indicated by the brown line.
At 1 P.M. No. 5 was started about a mile and a half east of North Point; its course is indicated by the yellow line.
The tide turning shortly after 1 P.M. a strong current set in through the Lyemun Pass carrying the floats westwards.
At 2.55 P.M. float No. 6 was started off North Point on the flood tide; its course is indicated by a red line.
This float passing to the west of Green Island found its way out to sea on the afternoon of the following day.
At 5.15 P.M. float No. 7 was started off North Point, after travelling a short distance westwards this float returned on the ebb as far as the Lyemun Pass but missing the mid channel current returned on the flood. Its course is indicated by a blue line.
At 6.45 p.m. No. 8 was set adrift off North Point and after travelling westwards for four hours it returned on the ebb and passed through the Lyemun Pass at 2.30 A.M. Its course is indicated by a brown line. This completed the float experiments at North Point.
On the following day, February the 28th, a similar series of experiments was effected at Belcher's Point. At 8.45 A.M. No. 1 was started on the ebb tide and taking a westerly course, as indicated by the red line, got into shallow water to the north-west of Green Island. On being set free again this float continued its westerly course round Green Island and turning southwards made for the open sea.
At 11 A.M. float No. 2 was started and passing direct through the Sulphur Channel gained the sea; its course is indicated by a blue line.
At 1.45 P.M. No. 3 was started and also passed through the Sulphur Channel, but meeting the flood tide was carried in a north westerly direction outside of Green Island; its course is indicated by a brown line.
At 3.50, 5.10 and 6 P.M. respectively, Nos. 4, 5 and 6 were set adrift. These as indicated by the blue, red and brown Inies made little progress.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
At 9.25 A.M. on the 21st of August during the South West Monsoon float No. 1 started on the ebb tide, got into slack water off the west point of Quarry Bay, and remained almost stationary until the turn of the tide when it proceeded westwards arriving off the south of Stonecutters' Island at 10 P.M. During the following ebb it returned as far as Kowloon Point, and during the next flood it was carried back to the south of Stonecutters' Island arriving to the south of its previous position at 8 P.M. shewing a tendency to leave the harbour westwards; its course is indicated by a red line. At 10.5 P.M. No. 2 was started and went direct through the Lyemun Pass arriving at the Pass in one hour; its course is indicated by a blue line.
At 1.20 P.M. No. 3 was started; making but little progress eastward it was carried on the flood through the harbour as far as the Canton Wharf returning thence as far as Causeway Bay on the following ebb tide; its course is indicated by a green line.
At 3 P.M. No. 4 was started on the commencement of the flood, and after passing North Point on the flood tide followed practically the same course as No. 1.
At 4.45 and 6.15 P.M. Nos. 5 and 6 were started and left afloat till the night of the 22nd.
No. 5 would probably, on the following ebb tide, pass North Point, and No. 6 would follow somewhat the same course as followed by Nos. 1 and 4. The course of each of these floats is indicated by green and blue respectively.
At 8.15 A.M. August the 22nd No. 1 was started off Belcher's Point and took an easterly course past North Point; on the following flood it drifted back a little to the west of that Point and would probably have got into the mid-channel current on the following ebb and been carried through the Lyemun Pass; its course is indicated by a brown line.
At 10.15 a.m. No. 2 was started and after progressing down the Sulphur Channel for some distance returned on the half ebb, arriving off the Canton Wharf at 10 P.M.; at the end of the flood it would take a north-westerly course and would probably be carried thence up towards the Canton River on the next flood, passing out west of Green Island on the following ebb; its course is indicated by a red line.
At 12 o'clock No. 3 was started. Taking an easterly course it reached Yaumati bay at 6.10 P.M., and after sweeping round on the flood in a south-westerly direction it took an easterly course arriving off the Canton Wharf at 10.35 P.M., at which hour the commencement of the next ebb would probably take it eastwards past North Point; its course is indicated by a green line. At 2.25 P.M. No. 4 was started and travelled eastwards slowly; its course is indicated by a blue line. At 5.40 P.M. No. 5 was started on the flood tide but made little progress; its course is indicated by a red line.
With respect therefore to a sewage out-fall at North Point it appears from these experiments:-
(i.) that during both the North East and South West Monsoons there is a strong tidal current tending to carry all matters held in suspension in the waters of the harbour at or about North Point through the Lyemun Pass during the ebb tide, and that this tendency extends as far as Kowloon Point during the Nort East Monsoon.
(ii) that during the North East Monsoon the flood tide sweeps through the harbour and effects a general dispersion of all suspended matter, and that there is also a strong current round Kowloon Point towards the South of Stonecutters' Island.
(iii.) that during the South West Monsoon the general tendency of the flood tide is to carry suspended matter
from North Point through the harbour towards the mouth of the Canton River.
And with respect to a sewage out-fall at Belcher's Point it appears from the experiments:-
(i.) that during the North East Monsoon the ebb tide will probably carry all suspended matters out to sea to
the south of Green Island.
(ii) that the flood tide has little effect at this Point either during the North East or South West Monsoon. (iii.) that during the South West Monsoon the ebb tide sets in an easterly and north easterly direction. From the foregoing I am of opinion, considering the depth of water and strong tidal currents that exist in the harbour during the whole of the year leading to the general dispersion and mixing of all foreign matters with the tidal waters, that no nuisance will arise from the placing of sewer ont-falls at Belcher's and North Points, and it is on this account that these two Points have been selected as suitable out-fall stations.
EXISTING SEWERS.
In the early days of the Colony the drainage of the city of Victoria was naturally provided for by the streams traversing the numerous valleys running south to north. As the city increased lateral drains were constructed of brick and stone of a very imperfect character and some of these may still exist. Within more recent times, especially after the Reclamations between Queen's Road and the Praya had been made it became necessary, in order to maintain clean- liness and also for the convenience of the public to cover in most of these streams, large drains built of granite were therefore constructed along the valleys as shown by red lines on the plan which accompanies this Report. There are
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890. 941
altogether without counting small branches 33 main outlets into the harbour along the Praya, their sizes vary from one foot and a half to six feet. Most of these sewers have vertical sides with V shaped or flat segmental inverts and are covered over with granite slabs. A full description of the various sections together with diagrams is to be found in Mr. CHADWICK'S Report Part 1, Sections 2 to 4. The duty of these drains as sewers is small compared with their duty as sub-soil and surface drains as the whole of the sub-soil and surface-waters from the northern slopes of the hills above the city have to find their way into the sea by passing through them.
The drainage-areas are comparatively small but the heavy tropical rains that this island is subject to, render it necessary to provide for the discharge of unduly large volumes of water in the lower portion of the city.
After studying the rain-fall and the character of the hills, I am of opinion that during heavy storms the built area may contribute 3 inches and the hill sides above the city 2 inches of rain-fall per hour, over their respective areas. It is clear therefore that no half measures can be entertained for getting rid of the surface waters, and considering the surface levels we have to deal with, any scheme for obtaining their ultimate discharge at points outside the city is practically out of the question.
Experience has proved that the existing drains of the town are of ample size and that they efficiently fulfil their purpose as surface water drains. It may also be mentioned that the most advantageous courses in respect of efficiency and economy i.e. the natural valley lines have in most cases been selected, and that the drains are constructed in a substantial manner. As surface-water drains therefore their construction leaves little to be desired, though they may no
longer be suitable as sewers.
In the earlier days of the city the Combined System of drainage was undoubtedly by far the more economical system, and perhaps with the small population and limited public revenue at its disposal the Colony would have shrunk from the expense of a dual system, but when one considers the present position of the city, the limited area of land available for building purposes and consequently the excessive crowding that exists in many portions especially in the Western and Central Districts where the population reaches to as many as 1,600 persons to the acre, the time has, in my opinion, arrived when every endeavour should be made that modern sanitary science places within our reach, to improve the sewerage of Victoria.
The principal objections to the continued use of the existing system of drains for the conveyance of sewage are:-
(1.) that the numerous outlets along the Praya render the condition of the foreshore objectionable,
(2.) that the large sizes of the sewers cause considerable deposit in the lower levels during the dry season,
(3.) that no efficient means of ventilation exist.
The first two evils, from what I have said, cannot be remedied, and the third also presents considerable difficulty. In drains of such necessarily large size as to be able to discharge at times large volumes of storm water any such inter- ruption as would be caused by large flaps or traps would probably lead to the bursting of the sewer, and further, during the dry season an extensive accumulation of sewer gas must take place, for the natural forces at work in the sewers are insufficient to effect a complete change of air in a short period. From what I have seen of some of the branch drains I believe there still exist old drains in the city which should either be used for surface and sub-soil water only, or else replaced by pipe sewers.
There are few water closets in the city their construction being prohibited by law. The system generally adopted for removing the excreta being the paid system as described in Mr. CHADWICK'S Report. I certainly agree with Mr. CHADWICK that if a sufficient water supply can be obtained the more general adoption especially in Hotels, Clubs and large mercantile and other offices, of water closets would be advisable on sanitary grounds.
There is practically no sub-soil drainage in the city except in the Wongneichung Valley where such drainage has been carried out during the last six months.
PROPOSED WORKS.
After careful consideration of the whole of the foregoing facts and a close study of the locality I am of opinion that the ends of efficiency and economy will be best met by:
(1.) the construction of a new system of pipe sewers admitting only a limited quantity of surface-water and by
adopting out-falls for such a system at suitable points east and west of the city.
(2.) the utilization of the existing drains for conveying the natural streams through the city and for carrying
off surface and sub-soil waters.
‧
Though the sub-soil drainage of malarial soils is a matter of great importance to the Public Health, this will be impracticable in the lower parts of the city at present unless such sub-soil drains are connected with the sewers, an expedient that would be attended with serious risk for it would convert such sub-soil drains into channels for the escape of sewer air through the sub-soil into the houses themselves. Owing to the long periods of drought or of limited rain- fall and to the steep declivity of the greater part of the drainage areas, the flow of water in sub-soil drains will always be
942
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
very variable and will no doubt very often be nil. In the latter case drain traps attached to sub-soil drains will prove ineffective and sewer air will freely course through such drains and issue through the interstices provided for the escape of sub-soil water.
Further, in the case of any stoppage occurring in a foul water sewer with which sub-soil drains happened to be in communication, sewage might back into the sub-soil drains and escape through the joints as just described. These objections will be got rid of if all foul waters are diverted from the existing drains of the town into special channels of their own sub-soil drainage then becomes possible and may be led without risk into the present existing drains.
I will now briefly describe the new Separate System of sewers proposed. On looking at the plans it will be seen the city is naturally divided into four drainage districts. Three of these districts are situated to the west of the Albany Nullah, and one to the east. There are thus, four proposed main intercepting sewers which for the convenience of reference I will allude to as numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, draining districts Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively as marked on the accompanying plan.
Main No. 1 providing for the drainage of district No. 1 (coloured red on plan sheet No. 1), will commence in Caine Road opposite Castle Road where it receives the sewage from Seymour Road, Castle Steps and Castle Road, it then takes a westerly course along the Caine Road, Bonham Road, Hill Road and Queen's Road West receiving the sewerage from Robinson and Richmond Roads, and ultimately discharging into the harbour at Belcher's Point.
The area of this district is 160 acres, and it is only thinly built over, but in order to allow for future extensions the sizes of the sewers have been calculated to discharge per 24 hours as much as 1 inches of rain-fall over the whole
area.
Main No. 2 providing for the sewerage of District No. 2 (coloured brown on plan sheet No. 1,) will commence in Queen's Road Central opposite Pottinger Street and takes a westerly course along Queen's Road receiving the sewerage from those portions of the Chung-wan, Tai-ping-shan and Sai-ying-pun districts which are situated south of the Queen's Road. On reaching Centre Street this main will take a northerly course down Centre Street, and arriving at the Praya will turn again to the west and follow the line of the Praya where it will receive the sewage of a portion of the Shek- tong-tsui District and ultimately discharge into the harbour at the proposed out-fall at Belcher's Point.
The area of this district is 233 acres and it is almost entirely built over. The sizes of the sewers have therefore been calculated to discharge 2.40 inches of rain-fall per 24 hours, or of an inch per hour, over the whole area.
Main No. 3 providing for the sewerage of District No. 3 (coloured yellow on plan sheets I and II,) will commence in Queen's Road Central, at the Corner of Murray Barracks, where it will receive the sewerage from Garden Road, and will pass down Murray Road to the Praya where it will turn along the Praya in a westerly direction as far as Winglok Street, which it will traverse and thence discharge into the harbour at Possession Point. This main is designed to provide for the portion of the city situated between Queen's Road Central and the Praya the area of which is 190 acres.
The circumstances prevailing in two portions of this District are so different that in calculating the sizes of the sewers I have sub-divided it into the area draining above Ice House Lane, which may be called Sub-district 3A com- prising 120 acres extent and the area draining below Ice House Lane to the west which I will call Sub-district 3B, 70 acres in extent.
In sub-district 3A, are situated Government House, and the Botanical Gardens occupying extensive grounds and not likely ever to be closely built over, moreover the elevation and position of the Albany Nullah, admit of a free outlet being always obtained for storm waters in this neighbourhood. The size of the main sewer along the Praya has therefore been calculated to convey inch of rain-fall per 24 hours over this sub-district. The other sub-district 3B being closely built over, the sizes of the sewers have been calculated to discharge 2.4 inches of rain per 24 hours falling over the whole sub-district in addition to the inch contributed by sub-district 3a.
Main No. 4 providing for the sewerage of district No. 4 (coloured brown on plau sheet II,) will commence in Queen's Road Central opposite the Royal Naval Yard and will traverse Queen's Road in an easterly direction as far as the Eastern Guard House, where it turns down Arsenal Road to the Praya, and continues along the Praya as far as the Bowrington Canal and there discharges into the harbour. At this point also it receives the sewage of the Bowrington District.
Though the best available without pumping I cannot recommend the proposed position of this out-fall as a permanent measure and would strongly advise in perference, that the main be extended to the alternative point of out- fall at North Point.
The area of the eastern District is 247 acres. In it are situated the Barracks and Military and Naval Establish- ments but the higher levels are at present but little built over. The sizes of the sewers have been calculated to discharge 11?2 inches of the rain falling over the whole District. As just stated, I am only able to recommend the construction of the out-fall, at Bowrington as a temporary expedient and I therefore deem it desirable to submit herewith a plan (sheet No. III,) and also a section showing the necessary works that would have to be undertaken in order to extend the out-fall to North Point. Such au extension, if carried out, would provide also for the sewerage of the Causeway Bay Reclama tion and of T?ng-lo-wau, giving a total area draining to North Point of 270 acres.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890. 943
The size of the out-fall has been calculated to discharge per 24 hours 1 inches of the rain which falls over the whole area.
The invert of the sewer being 537 feet below Ordnance Datum it will be necessary to adopt Pumping Machinery in order to discharge the sewage into the harbour.
Taking 14 inches of rain-fall per 24 hours over the whole surface, we get a flow of 1,470,150 cubic feet per 24 hours. The present dry weather flow of sewage I estimate does not exceed 100,000 cubic feet per 24 hours and notwithstand- ing any future increase in houses and population probably will never exceed 300,000 cubic feet. I recommend therefore that high class machinery in duplicate be installed capable of lifting 300,000 cubic feet per 24 hours and that pumps of a less costly character though not so economical in working be installed for the purpose of dealing with the larger volume i.e. 1,470,150 cubic feet occasionally brought down during heavy rains.
The sizes and gradients proposed for the new sewers have been the subject of careful calculation the aim and inten- tion being to maintain a self cleansing velocity throughout the whole system. Considering the existence of large drains throughout the city and the facilities offered for getting rid over the surface of the storm-water in back yards during heavy rain-falls I am of opinion the sizes proposed for the new sewers will be found ample to meet the requirements of the increasing population.
The Separate System as designed contemplates the provision of overflows along the lines of the proposed intercepting sewers in order to relieve them in case it should be found impracticable for the present to exclude from them as much of the storm-water as I have specified. In many instances the rain from the back yards of private houses will be admitted into the proposed new sewers but, where back yards are continuous from one street to another such storm water can easily be diverted from the sewer by a continuous surface gutter from yard to yard, iron gratings being fixed in the com- munication holes at each partition wall. Some rain-fall from the backs of houses must, under any circumstances, be admitted into the proposed new pipe sewers but the special method of providing for the carrying off of storm-waters from private premises is a detail that must be considered individually in each case.
The proposed sewers are intended to be laid out in straight lines and manholes are provided at every change of direction in order to facilitate inspection or the removal of obstructions should the latter at any time occur. As a rule every manhole will be furnished with a ventilating grating to be placed as near as possible in the middle of the street. Additional ventilators will also be provided wherever the interval between two manholes is longer than 350 feet. Flush- ing doors will also be provided in some of the manholes on the mains where the fall or inclination is small, and for the purpose of obtaining a rapid change of air in the sewer and of preventing a decided set of air therein to one point, traps and valves will be fixed in some of the manholes. The out-falls will be protected by tidal valves.
I have not considered it necessary to design any system of sewers for Kennedytown situated at the extreme west of the city, as that suburb is at present very sparsely built over, and because sewers can at any time without difficulty be con- structed leading into the Sulphur Channel, the scour through the Sulphur Channel being sufficient to prevent any nuisance therefrom.
HOUSE-DRAINS.
As I am here dealing with the subject of main-drainage and not of house-drainage I need not enter very fully into? the question of house-drains though I need scarcely add I have considered this matter very carefully before laying the scheme for the proposed main sewerage of the city before you. I would however state that in my opinion, Ordinance No. 24 of 1887 together with the Bye-Laws now before the Sanitary Board clearly define what a house-drain ought to be and only place such restrictions on house owners as are placed on them in England and as I have found necessary in my experience as a Sanitary Engineer.
Unless house-drains are properly constructed under such sanitary provisions as those contained in the Bye-Laws above referred to they will be practically worse than no drains at all, and considering their close proximity to buildings, house-drains obviously require even more careful supervision than main sewers.
I consider that it cannot be too strongly impressed upon the public mind that it is to the connexion with the Government main sewers, of badly laid out and badly built house-drains in private premises, wherein the house-sewage, is imprisoned for long periods, and therefore entirely decomposed before it leaves such private premises to pass into the Government mains, that is to be attributed the chief cause of foul emanations from the main sewer-openings in the streets and elsewhere, and that therefore the first or initial step towards sanitary reform is obviously the reconstruction of house-drains. It is therefore of the utmost importance that defective house-drains should be dealt with as soon as possible and I see no reason why this should not be done at once under the powers conferred by the Public Health Ordinance of 1887. The ultimate decision of the Government with respect to the scheme of main-drainage now proposed does not in any way affect the question of house-drainage.
DISPOSAL.
If the present Combined System of main drainage be left undisturbed the large volume to be dealt with during heavy rains will hecessitate several points of discharge along the Praya, and the expense of carrying out large sewers to low water will be found very great compared with the expense attendant on the smaller pipe sewers under the Separate System. Besides, large sewer-extensions beyond the sea-wall would be an obstruction that will interfere with native shipping.
944
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
By the light of the float experiments I have made, and judging from the present condition of the Praya foreshore I cannot favourably view the disposal of sewage along the foreshore from a number of outlets along the Praya frontage. I repeat I consider the out-falls to the east and west of the city which I have recommended, i.e. North Point and Belcher's Point will in no way prove objectionable if the Separate System is adopted, and further I am satisfied that in the Western District the whole of the sewage south of Caine Road and west of the West Terrace may be completely intercepted and carried to the out-fall without the need of any connection with the sewers of the rest of the city. Another intercepting artery can be carried along a portion of Hollywood Road, and so avoid to some extent the laying of large sewers, (in which it is difficult to effect satisfactory disconnexion), up steep gradients to carry off the sewage of the higher levels.
I am of opinion that the Separate System of sewerage for the city of Victoria presents no serious engineering diffi- culties and that it is unquestionably the one best adapted to meet the sanitary requirements of the community.

$ 230,000.00
The subsequent continuation of Main No. 4 to North Point and the installation of Pumping Machinery in duplicate at North Point I estimate at a further sum of $113,000, making the total estimate $343,000.
FINANCIAL.
The construction of these works will probably occupy a period of from three to four years, but considering the bene- fit that future generations will derive from them it seems reasonable that the burthen of their cost should be spread over a longer period.
years,
I do not anticipate that any extensions or additions to the Project, at least any extensions of importance would be necessary before the year 1901, and I therefore think the payment for the cost might be extended at least over twelve and accordingly I would submit the propriety of including this outlay in any Government loan that may be contemplated in connection with public improvements, or if the amount be raised as a separate loan of itself that it be paid off, capital and interest, by equal annual instalments within the time above mentioned. By this arrangement the percentage of the Annual Rateable Value would yearly decrease (assuming that the Rateable value continues to increase as it has done in the past) and a margin would consequently be available for further purposes without increasing the rate of taxation.
The Rateable Value for 1887-8 was..
The Rateable Value for 1888-9 is.
.....$ 2,902,933 .$ 3,050,790
Showing an increase of 5 per cent. If this increase be maintained the Rateable Value in 1901 will be $5,460,914. If a loan were negociated for $230,000 at 5 per cent for a period of 12 years capital and interest to be paid off in equal annual instalments, such instalments will equal $25,944 or 85 per cent of the present Rateable Value or 48 per cent of the estimated Rateable Value in 1901. If the larger sum of $343,000 (to include the $113,000 required to defray the North Point extension and Pumping Station) were borrowed, the annual instalment i.e. $38,690 would be 1.27 per cent of the present Rateable Value or 71 per cent of the estimated Rateable Value of 1901.
In England the raising of loans redeemable by a number of annual payments for the purpose of constructing sanitary works of a permanent character has for some years received the sanction of the Imperial Government, and it is on this account that I submit this suggestion for consideration.

REPORT ON THE PROPOSED DRAINAGE OF HONGKONG.
(Plates accompanying this Report are not printed.)
HONGKONG, 14th November, 1888.
SIR,---I have the honour to address you with reference to the remarks of His Excellency the Governor, at a Meeting of the Legislative Council, held on the 12th November 1888, on the proposed system of drainage for the City of Victoria.
"The Daily Press" of the 13th November reports as follows :-
The Report on the Separate Drainage System.
"The COLONIAL SECRETARY laid on the table the report on the separate system of main drainage by Mr. "COOPER and an accompanying letter from the SURVEYOR GENERAL."

Governor's
Legislative
Nov., 1888.
"HIS EXCELLENCY-With reference to this report on the main drainage system, I trust the members after II. E. the "reading it will come to the conclusion I have done, that in the absence of any authoritative opinion to the Speech at the "contrary, the opinions of the gentlemen who have made the reports are very strong presumptive evidence that Council, 12th "this drainage system is necessary and desirable for the colony. There are only two officers that we know "of competent to express an opinion on this scheme. They express a strong opinion in its favour.
And though "of course we may vote the money here, it does not necessarily follow the drainage system now recommended "will be carried out. I am sure in such an important matter, the subject as a whole, with all the facts and "opinions expressed here, will be referred to the highest engineering authorities in England, and the result will very much depend on their verdict. I have seen opinions unfavourable to this scheme in the public press coming "from persons who claim to be able to express an opinion upon it. I don't know how far that may influence "public opinion here; of course that depends on the weight of the supposed author's authority; but all I can say is that the Government cannot be influenced by it in the slightest degree unless that person, whoever he is, comes forward with his professional name and states his objections like a man. If there are any strong "objections to the scheme and any one of adequate professional authority comes forward to state those objections, "not only will I send them to the Secretary of State, but I have not the slightest doubt they would receive due "consideration. Until that is done, whatever weight it may have with the public, it cannot be regarded by the "Government. If anybody really and honestly feels that there are these objections to the scheme, I say it is his "bounden duty as a man to come forward over his own name and sign his objections. As to the vote connected "with this, I say if the Council are of opinion it is desirable to pass it, that only means that it places the Secretary of State in a position to lay the matter before the highest authorities in England, and places us in a "position to carry out the scheme if their opinion is favourable. I say distinctly that as far as an unprofessional man can form an opinion on the subject, these reports are in my opinion conclusive, and I believe hon. members "will form a stronger opinion in its favour the more carefully they read the reports."

SIR, Having read with great interest the speech of His Excellency the Governor, in which he mentions his Letter from Mr. wish to receive any suggestions relating to the proposed scheme of drainage for this City, I beg to mention, that as a professional man of ten years experience in this Colony, partly in the Government Service and partly in private practice, and taking a keen interest in the affairs of the Colony, I see some points in which my opinion differs from that shewn forth in the plan as at present proposed.
In order to enable me to submit my ideas, I should be glad of the permission of His Excellency the Governor to be furnished with the detailed plans and estimates of the proposed scheme, on receipt of which it will be my endeavour to carefully study the same, and to the best of my ability offer such suggestions as I may think will be of use to His Excellency the Governor.

sewage and rain- fall, i.e. on the
Combined System.
Having been for three years Assistant Engineer in the Surveyor General's Department (February, 1880, to October, 1882), during which time this very question of drainage came prominently forward owing to the visit of Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK, and it having been my duty, while in the Department, to make the map shewing the drains of the City, a reduced copy of which is to be found attached to Mr. CHADWICK's report, and again to Mr. COOPER's report, I consider myself thoroughly acquainted with the existing drains.
66
The existing drains are very clearly described by Mr. CHADWICK as follows:
"The public sewers appear to have been made, rather as drains to carry off storm water, than as sewers to remove from habitations the foul waters usually known as sewage. Neither their form nor their construction "is that which is considered desirable for the latter purpose. They do not appear to have been made on any general plan, but rather to have been constructed from time to time as the necessity arose, and they seem to "have been designed to convey the storm waters and perennial flow from the ravines above, and the surface "water of the streets and houses, by the shortest and most direct line to the harbour, into which they discharge "their contents through large openings in the wharf wall. The inverts of these outlets are at about the level of "low water ordinary spring tides. They are not provided with tide-flaps. With few exceptions no attempt has "been made to carry out the effluent below low-water mark, nor to select positions for out-falls where a strong "tidal stream would remove it. Consequently deposit takes place at their mouths, and hence at low tide there "is a most offensive smell along the whole harbour front."
66
I confirmed part of the above in the following terms before the late Fever Commission:
"I think the chief fault of the drainage of Hongkong, is, that it has grown from time to time, without any proper system being carried out. As the sewers become a nuisance, so they were trapped, both by private "individuals on a very wholesale scale, and also by the Government in the roads. This trapping to all intents "and purposes unventilated the sewers, and increased the nuisance; as to the sewers themselves, some of them
--many of the more modern ones-are of a very good section, some of the older ones are not."
46
Having thus touched upon the present drainage of the City, I will now proceed to describe Mr. CHADWICK'S proposal.
He proposes to utilize the present drains for the conveyance of sewage and rainfall as at present, modifying and improving their section, &c., and constructing an intercepting sewer on the Praya Wall, of sufficient capacity to carry off the sewage and a small amount of rainfall, carrying this intercepting sewer to an outfall in the Sulphur Channel, at which point he would require to pump the sewage.
Whenever there was a heavy rainfall,
as is usual during the rainy season, a free discharge is allowed direct

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
His report states as follows:-
"I hope to show that the existing sewers of Victoria may be improved so as to fit them for the conveyance "of sewage, besides serving to carry the storm water to the harbour, as they do at present, and further, that the "sewage, during dry weather, may be diverted from their lower extremities, and carried to some distant outfall, " where it will be innocuous."
This I propose to call the Combined System.

Combined

Separate
The proposed scheme of drainage, as described in the report under consideration, is diametrically opposed to Difference that of Mr. CHADWICK, in that it separates the sewage from the rainfall over the entire area of the City in the Chadwick's most minute way, leaving the present drains for the conveyance of rainfall only, and laying down a complete new Mr. Cooper's

The method of drainage, which I propose, may be generally described, as the adopting for the strictly Chinese Suggested portions of the City Mr. CHADWICK's recommendation to use the present drains for the conveyance of sewage and rainfall, but omitting the intercepting sewer he proposed allowing them to discharge direct into the harbour, stricts. but having no connection with the few large main storm-water drains, which convey the flood water from the hill sides above through these portions of the city.

It will therefore be seen that I propose to adopt the Combined System for the purely Chinese districts, and Combination the Separate System for the Europeau; and I hope to be able to prove, that this combination of systems can be recommended. effectually and economically carried out, and that it is the most suitable to the widely different conditions to be dealt with in the drainage of this City.

The objections I have to this scheme, are, that in the upper districts of the City and wherever the houses Objections to are scattered, it would not be wise to discharge the drainage from these houses into the large drains necessary to house drains take the Storm-water, as, during the dry season, there would not be a sufficient body of sewage in these large in European drains to keep up a constant flow.

The intercepting sewer to the Sulphur Channel, owing to the depth of it, must be constructed in soil open to Objections to the sea, and, being for its entire length (6 miles) below low water level, would, owing to its enormous cost, sewer. together with the constant expense of pumping, be practically prohibitive, and I consider unnecessary, as, by properly constructed outfalls into deep water opposite the City, no nuisance would arise.

His admirable report contains an immense amount of most valuable and reliable information.
the
Mr. Cooper's Scheme.
The chief points of objection I have to this scheme are:-
1.- Attempting to separate rainfall from sewage over the thickly populated Chinese parts of the City.
2.-Dividing the City into the four districts proposed.
3.-The disposal of the sewage by intercepting sewers at the four points proposed.
Before proceeding to discuss my objections, I think it would be well to describe more fully my proposals, as pros and cons of the two schemes could then be taken together.
Plate 1 is a map of the City. The districts occupied by Chinese are coloured red, and these I propose to drain on the Combined System. The districts coloured yellow are chiefly occupied by Europeans, and these propose to drain on the Separate System.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
To follow the description of the lines of sewers I am now about to describe, a thorough knowledge of the levels and contours of the ground is necessary. I regret that, being able to spare but a short portion of time, and the plans of Mr. COOPER's Scheme having been hurried home, I have not drawn a complete plan shewing all the lines of sewers.
Commencing at the extreme West or No. 1 subdivision of the Yellow or Separate System there are but few houses to deal with. The drainage of these, I would disconnect from the storm-water drains, into which, it is at present delivered; and carry by a small stone-ware pipe discharging into the harbour to the outfall, marked L 1. allowing the present drains to take the entire rainfall and subsoil waters by the present outfalls to the harbour.
I
may mention that in this area are several swampy places, that require proper subsoil drainage. The sewage of District No. 2 would be collected along the Caine Road and discharged into the harbour by a pipe sewer at the outfall marked L 2. The rainfall and subsoil waters for this district discharging, as at present, down the Peel Street drain.
The sewage of District No. 3 would be discharged by a pipe into the harbour at the outfall marked L 3.
The sewage of District No. 4 would be discharged at L 4. The rainfall of districts Nos. 3 and 4 being discharged by the present drains.
The ground above the Chinese Quarter in Wanchai is too steep to be built on to any extent.
In district No. 5, the Seamen's Hospital and Morrison Hill Terrace stand on high ground. The rest of buildings in this district are chiefly warehouses situated along the Praya front.
The small amount of sewage of this district would be discharged into the harbour at the outfall, marked L 5. The rainfall being dealt with as at present.
The Western portion of District No. 6, bounded by Percival Street and Bowrington Canal, is at present partly occupied by a sugar refinery and warehouses. It is probable that other factories may be located here, and that, in the future, a separate drain will be necessary. The sewage, from the remaining part of the District, would be discharged into the sea at the outfall marked L 6. The rainfall being dealt with as at present.
The outfalls for the Yellow or Separate System, are of two kinds, those for the rain water being as at present. Fig. I, Plate 2, gives a sketch of an existing outfall. The sewage discharge can be dealt with as shewn by Fig. 2, Plate 2, consisting of a cast iron pipe carried to a suitable distance and depth to ensure ample dilution and diffusion of the sewage particles.
The entire sewage and rainfall of the Chinese parts of the city coloured Red, I proposed to convey in those of the existing drains which are suitable for the conveyance of sewage. Where the drains are defective they must be either repaired or reconstructed and thoroughly ventilated along their entire course. The whole of the sewage and rainfall being discharged direct into the harbour, but in no case connected with the few large storm water drains (shewn by blue lines), that take the rainfall from the European districts, and the hill sides situated above.
On this Combined System, the drainage of the red portion will be a simple and comparatively inexpensive and inexpensive. undertaking.

Difference from
Mr. Cooper's scheme.
I have not dealt with Kennedy Town or Causeway Bay district, as they are not yet built over.
The outfalls, for the red or combined portions, can be dealt with as shewn by Fig. 3, Plate 2.
This outfall is practically the same as the river outlet at Windsor Castle, which plan is given as a model one by Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON in the "Suggestions for Sewage, &c." issued by the Local Government Board, and which has become the usual plan adopted in similar cases at home.
It may
be argued, that the two portious shewn by the red and yellow colours, are liable to alteration. This is practically impossible, as the districts in which Chinese houses may be built, are not only very clearly defined and restricted by the European Reservation Ordinance, but in some places, are prevented from changing, by the nature of the Hill-sides, the Public Gardens, and the Military Reserve. That additional ground must become occupied by Chinese, is almost certain, but the ground, which they will occupy, is clearly defined; such as reclama- tion from the Harbour, Kennedy Town, Wanchai and Causeway Bay, which are capable of accommodating a vast increase in the number of Chinese, and any such increase can be dealt with in entire conformity with the proposed scheme.
It will readily be seen, that I differ very essentially from Mr. COOPER'S Scheme, in providing outfalls for sewage into the harbour at a number of points, instead of at the four points C. 1, C. 2, C. 3 and C. 4 marked on
Plate 1.

An experience of ten years in the Colony, and having had an office for six years on the Praya front, opposite Peddar's Wharf, and having always carefully observed the course of the numerous cargo boats and traffic by the side of the Praya, convinces me, that there is an almost equal strong current at any point along the Praya from Wellington Battery to Belcher's Point, and that there is very little difference in the speed of matter, either Eastward or Westward.

The float experiments of Mr. CHADWICK and Mr. COOPER were confined to particular points, and in no way Float experi cause me to alter the above opinion. Therefore it would be far better to discharge smaller portions of sewage Chadwick at at a number of points, and thus diffuse the matter more thoroughly, than greater portions of sewage discharged at three or four points only.

There are places, such as opposite the City Hall, Commissariat Pier and Bowrington, where the configura- Lesser tide-way tion of the Praya would naturally lead one to expect slack water; even at such places, I consider, that by not affecting suitable length of outfall, there is amply sufficient current to diffuse the small amount of sewage discharged at those places.

At Bowrington Canal especially, there exists a large foreshore caused by the deposit of silt washed down Objection to the Wong-nei-cheong Valley. The outfall, proposed by Mr. COOPER at C. 4, is essentially wrongly placed for Bowrington a collecting sewer, as admitted in the report by the recommendation to carry this discharge by pumping to North

An advantage in having numerous direct outfalls is, that sewage would be more rapidly discharged into the Advantage of sea from its place of production. I estimate that from no part of the City would the sewage take longer than direct outfalls. two hours to be dispersed into the sea. Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON in his "Suggestions," says: "All sewage should be disposed of, if practicable, on the day of its production." This would not be the case with low lying intercepting sewers; and in a tropical climate, it is essential to have the most speedy discharge.

An important fact which must not be forgotten in considering the discharge into the harbour of the sewage No focal matter of this City, is, that practically no focal matter exists. The disposal of night-soil being carried out by the bucket system.

I have made no mention of the proposed reclamation from the Harbour in front of the City and shewn on Proposed new Plate No. 1, as it is obvious that the sea wall would project into deeper water, and greater tidal currents, there- advantageous by diffusing the discharge of outfalls still more rapidly. The work of constructing such outfalls would be a simple matter in building the new wall, which will be in from 15 to 40 feet depth of water.
Sewers
The employment of four outfall points only, necessitates the construction of intercepting sewers, low-lying Intercepting and of very flat gradients, such as 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 1,700.

The construction of these sewers would be extremely costly, the soil is made ground, practically sand free Construction to the sea, the trenches would be continually flooded and heavy pumping would be required; in many places, without close piling, no pumping would contend with the sea.

Besides, granted that the sewers were constructed, they would be "backwatered every high tide. During Intercepting the South West Monsoon (especially when typhoons are in the neighbourhood) the sea level remains abnormally backwatered. high for days together, there being no rise and fall of the tide, and during such times the sewers may be called upon to work under pressure.

I would here like to give the experience at Brighton of the low level intercepting sewer. In a paper read Experience before the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Borough Surveyor of Brighton gives as his opinion, that, for a intercepting town like Brighton, the system of pipe outfalls into deep water was a good one, and that, from a sanitary point of view, they were not better off, after having built the seven miles of intercepting sewer, than they had been

with the outfall pipes previously laid. The outfall pipes mentioned were taken to a lowest depth of 8 to 16 feet and discharged into the sea.
In the same discussion, Mr. MONSON made observations applying to large intercepting outfall sewers generally; he objected strongly to the large quantity of sewage gas that was being constantly driven off, and that the sewage was blocked in by the tide and consequently sludge was freely deposited, the ventilators that were put in could be of small area compared with the volume of sewage, and he believed, that the resident medical men considered the scheme the reverse of satisfactory.
The intercepting sewers, running along the Praya East and West, will have to cross at right angles all the numerous Praya outfalls, which are at various levels. The sewers cannot go over or through them, and going under will necessitate a considerable depth at the beginning. The only alternative is to resort to syphons, of which only two or three are proposed. With sewers at such flat gradients, on either side of the syphon, very consi- derable difficulty will be experienced from deposit.
In recommending the adoption of the Combined System for the purely Chinese part of the city, I am, besides following the recommendation of Mr. CHADWICK to use such of the sewers as are suitable for the conveyance of sewage, utilizing the large amount of new drains, constructed by the Government subsequent to the date of Mr. CHADWICK's report.
In a speech delivered by the Surveyor General at the Meeting of the Legislative Council held on the 5th November, 1886, the following words occur :-
66
66
66
"With regard to the words that have fallen from the hon: member opposite with reference to Sanitary "Works, the hon: member may be aware, or he may not be aware, that the Government of the Colony has "been for the last three and a half years assiduously engaged in reconstructing the main sewers of this town upon modern sanitary principles. From the returns which I hold in my hand I find that during the last three "and a half years in the Western District of Victoria 2,450 yards of main sewers have been constructed, in the Central District 1,900 yards, and in the Eastern District 3,100 yards, making in all 7,450 yards of new main sewers, or, roughly speaking, about four an a half miles. Besides this, many other works of improvement in connection with main sewerage have also been carried out, and these improvements have been pushed forward "for the last three and a half years and are still being unremittingly pushed forward from day to day as part "and parcel of the comprehensive scheme for the main drainage of the city adopted four years ago. The main "drainage works of Victoria however, are something like Rome, they are not to be built in a day. At all "events, the statistics I have quoted to the Council will show that considerable progress has been made in the "main drainage works. Having said this much on the subject of the main drainage of the town, I come to the
cognate subject of house drainage, and here I am able to agree with any hon: member at this table who
may "lift his voice against the actual condition of things. House drains are to the main sewers what the veins are "to the arteries in a man's body. The Government have been engaged in restoring the arteries to proper working order, and it devolves upon the owners of house property to do the same for the veins, that is for "their house drains. These house drains built at the expense of private owners of property begin in private "tenements and terminate in their junction with the main sewers in the street, and it therefore devolves upon "landlords to follow in our wake and imitate in respect of their private house drains the example set for the last "three and a half years by the Government in our reorganisation of the main sewers of the town."
66
66
These remarks are very clear, and prove that the principal districts are provided with main sewers which ought to be suitable for the conveyance of sewage, for the " comprehensive scheme for the main drainage of the City adopted four years ago" can only be the furtherance of Mr. CHADWICK's combined sewage scheme, and that, up to the date of Mr. PRICE's speech, no other system was contemplated.
I am, therefore, only proposing the utilization for the red district of the work of so many years, and advocating the continuation, for these districts, of the scheme just mentioned. In fact, the house drains of the numerous large blocks of Chinese houses, which my firm have constructed, have all been connected with these
main sewers.

It was only on receipt of the following letters, that I became aware of an entire change in the scheme of

you

:
I
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
That surface channels be constructed down yards and passages to carry off all surface water from yards
and roofs.
That pipe sewers of comparatively small diameter be laid to take the sewage proper. In the case of yards on which cook houses open a small trap communicating with the sewer should be fixed in the surface channel, so as to take the dry weather flow due to the washing that it is the custom here to do in the back yards.
That all fall pipes for sewage be placed outside the walls and trapped at the foot.
That waste pipes from Baths, Sinks and Lavatories be carried direct through the walls and discharge into open heads.
That a disconnecting chamber provided with a fresh air inlet be constructed at the junction of the private sewer with the Government sewer, and that a ventilating pipe at least 4 inches in diameter be carried up above the buildings at the dead ends. It will also facilitate inspection if manholes are constructed at all bends in your main sewers.
That the sink stone in the cook houses be placed against the outside wall and the waste pipe deliver into a trap placed in the yard outside.
The position of the cook houses next the Latrines and the European Kitchen above them I consider very objectionable. Latrines should be detached buildings. I shall be obliged if you will consider the foregoing suggestions and submit plans showing all sewers and surface water channels with the sizes and gradients figured thereon, and also showing all traps, manholes, and ventilators.

I may remark, that the Surveyor General, in his letter covering Mr. COOPER's report, mentions the many miles of modern main sewers constructed, and apparently does not agree with Mr. COOPER that these sewers are unsuitable for the conveyance of sewage, and I quite agree with this opinion.
The objections to the combined system of drains, for the conveyance of sewage, are mentioned in the report Mr. Cooper's as follows:-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
With reference to objection 1, I am unwilling to admit that there is any foreshore worthy of mention from Kennedy Town to the City Hall. The amount of silt that is brought down from the hill sides by the large main drains, being chiefly dispersed by the action of the waves and of the tidal current, the balance having been easily removed by the use of one small "Priestman" dredger.
The construction of the proposed reclamation would render the formation of any new foreshore absolutely impossible, owing to the depth of water.
In my opinion, the reasons of the objection are :-'
-That the outfalls are not constructed in a suitable manner, no attempt being made to convey the dry weather or normal flow, which is practically sewage, into deep water; and that the large number of the floating population, constantly near the Praya wall, cause a large amount of f?cal matter and garbage to be deposited there. Also, that there is an utter absence of ventilation of the sewers, and defective connection of houses, rendering the sewage matter offensive.
I fail to see, as inferred by Mr. COOPER, that any state of the numerous outlets along the Praya is a reason why the existing sewers should not be used for the conveyance of sewage.
With reference to objection 2. The sewers mentioned are, no doubt, chiefly the large rain water drains, shewn in blue lines on Plate 1, (these I in no case propose to use for sewage). There are, I am aware, some large drains which, owing to the unsuitable course taken necessitating flat gradients, should be diverted and altered.
I would mention, as an instance, the drains in Jervois Street and Bonham Strand. Instead of conveying the drainage of the district by the most direct way into the harbour, the sewers run nearly parallel with the Praya, discharging at Possession Point. As this district is low lying, the sewers are nearly level, and cause great trouble from silting up. I have mentioned, that I consider exactly similar trouble will be experienced with Mr. COOPER's proposed intercepting sewers of flat gradients.
Mr. CHADWICK mentions the sewers in this district in the following terms :-
"Much inconvenience and expense is caused by the necessity for cleaning out periodically the portions of "the sewers where they cross the low districts about Bonham Strand."
I fail to see why, even granted that there be considerable deposits during the dry season in the large sized sewers of the lower levels, that this is a reason for not using the bulk of the sewers, already constructed, for the conveyance of sewage.
With reference to objection 3. Mr. COOPER alleges, as a reason for not using the existing sewers, that no efficient means of "ventilation exists." This is obviously no reason for not so altering the present sewers, as the cost of making ventilators cannot be so expensive as the construction of new sewers and ventilators.
The statement, that no efficient means of ventilation exists, is supported by Mr. CHADWICK in the follow- ing words, which naturally apply to the date of his report.
66
"There are no special ventilator openings either inlet or outlet, nor does the necessity for ventilation appear "to have been recognized. The drains, which receive the water from the ravines above the town, have open "outlets at their upper ends or intakes, and so they are to some extent ventilated. Where the drains do not run the hill sides there is no proper ventilation. For instance, the drain along Old Bailey Street terminating in "the Caine Road. In one instance, that in Peel Street, the natural ventilation of the sewer has been prevented 'purposely by the construction of a trap at the top, thus the uprising sewer gas has no means of escape except "by untrapped house drains and gully holes.'
66
up
The only attempt at ventilation, made up to the present date, are the few shafts built within the last year at the upper ends of the main drains, and it requires no argument to show, that these only ventilate a very little distance, and the open ends of the drains as before, were practically equally efficient, the only advantage gained by the shafts being the very small difference in the density of the gases for the additional height. These shafts,
as I stated in my evidence before the Fever Commission, cannot ventilate any of the side junctions to the main drains, as the gases would then be called upon to descend the side branches, and ascend the main drains.
The opinion of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON is, that :-
"Sewers formed along steep gradients therefore require to have more care bestowed on the means of venti- "lation than other sewers laid along flat districts to prevent the dangerous accumulation of sewage gases in the "upper districts.
Ordinary main sewer ventilation should be provided in all cases at intervals not greater than "100 yards."
"The ends of sewers and drains at their lowest outlets must be so protected that the wind cannot blow in "and force any sewage gases back to the streets and houses. Flap valves or other contrivances may be provided "to cover and protect outlet ends of sewers and drains and so prevent the wind from blowing in."
J

This is a special requirement in the drainage of this city, as the upper levels are 400 feet above the Praya, Flap valven and during the North-east Monsoon, when the drains are the foulest for want of rain water, the wind is blow- ing directly into the present open ends of all the outfall sewers :-

"It has been suggested that free and open sewer and drain ventilation will so taint the atmosphere within Sir Robert, "and over a town as to cause houses at a lower level to pollute those situated on the higher levels. Any serious opinion that
will be "injury from this need not be feared, as with abundant means of ventilation, the air, within the sewers, "comparatively pure."
"Sewer and drain ventilation are insisted upon over and over again in these suggestions, because the "work is so important and is so generally absent or even wilfully neglected."
64
"There are many towns in which the sewers are not ventilated because the inhabitants refuse to have any open sewer ventilator at the street surface. This is a sad mistake, as a town, having unventilated sewers and "house drains connected with them also unventilated, must have disease in excess.

I was surprised to read the evidence of Mr. COOPER before the Fever Commission, that he considered Mr. Cooper's serious harm would arise from openings in the streets in the present condition of the house drains, as it is present con- obvious from the opinion of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON that the sewers have to be ventilated at some time, and no amount of defective house connection can justify the absence of such ventilators, which any way must improve the air in the sewers.
I do not agree with the statement of Mr. COOPER, that the gases would be drawn into the houses reason of the air being warmer, as the temperature of the interior of the houses is usually lower than that of open street, for the greater portion of the year.

The proposed works are, therefore, the carrying out of what is known as the "Separate System."
Wherever the Separate System is capable of being conveniently carried out, it is unquestionable the more Separate System sanitary system, and I strongly recommend its adoption for the Yellow areas, but I maintain, and hope to prove, that the Separate System is totally unsuited, not to say impossible, over the Red area.

Mr. COOPER mentions, as an objection to the use of the same sewers for sewage and subsoil, that in case of Disagreement stoppage of foul water the sewage may back into the subsoil drains, and sewage gas escape through them into Cooper's the houses. I entirely disagree with this opinion as a reason for not adopting the present sewers on the Com- bined System for the Chinese districts. The only places, where subsoil drains are required, are in the higher districts, which I propose to deal with under the Separate System; besides, efficient ventilation to the sewers would obviate any such nuisance.

The entire area coloured Red is built over in a manner quite unknown at home. The width of a Chinese Description house is 15 feet from centre to centre of the side walls, leaving about 13′- 6" in the clear; they are either built houses. back to back, or have a yard or lane of about 6 feet wide. By the New Building Ordinance, this width is slightly increased for lots acquired from the Government after the passing of the Ordinance, but that cannot therefore affect the present City.
The back yards are used for washing and domestic operations, and are the receptacles of the refuse of the Utilization by houses. There is usually to be found the latrine of the house, and in days not long past, the well.

The Surveyor General describes this proposal in the following words :-"His roof drainage and the rain "which falls upon his back yard may in most cases be allowed to escape over the surface through gutters into "the side channels and thence into the nearest of the numerous street gratings which everywhere communicate
"with the storm-water drains."
Chinese houses are usually built in blocks, and to drain, by an open channel through the division walls, would cause endless trouble. Should a stoppage of only a few minutes take place, in a division wall towards the end of a long line of houses, the ground floors of these houses would be flooded, and this, with the tropical showers we sometimes get here, such as 9 inches in five hours, and 5 inches in three hours, would not take many minutes, a few leaves on sticks might be sufficient.
The damage to merchandize, which is always stored on the ground floor of every Chinese house, would be very large, and the Chinese would naturally resent any such system, and block up the openings in the division walls on the higher side of their yards; surreptitiously making some rough drain connecting with the pipe
sewer.
This when once effected would be very hard to discover.
The use of the back yards by an open drain would be strongly opposed by the tenants.
Each house may be a separate property and it has never been the custom to insert any easement clauses in conditions of sale.
I may mention that I have consulted several Chinese, who are large owners of property and their opinion is very strong against anything in the nature of a continuous open channel in back yards.
With the exception of the back yards, the whole of Chinese property is covered by the houses and the kitchens (which are usually 6 feet deep). The number of stories vary from two to four. The more valuable neigh- bourhood has houses with the greater number of stories. Each story is usually subdivided by an intermediate floor, the subdivision is caused by the old and also the New Building Ordinance, which fix the thickness of walls for each story, instead of for the height of the building. Plans are therefore first made for a three storied. house; each story being made high enough, to allow of subdivision after they are completed.
Access is gained to the kitchens in the upper floors (in those houses which possess back yards) by bridges, each of which takes 5 feet off the area of the back yard open to the sky. From this bridge, the dirty water and refuse are thrown into the back yard, the down pipes from the kitchens generally being choked or removed. It must be borne in mind that each floor is usually let separately, there being no stairs down the back of the
houses.
Even the roofs are very generally used for various purposes, such as drying and curing of fish manufactur- ing various articles of food, dyeing and bleaching of goods, and the immense amount of manufactures which require light and air. Latrines on the roof are common, and the usual connection for the urinal of each floor is the down pipe from the roof.
The minute description and careful plans given by Mr. CHADWICK of Chinese houses, show, very forcibly, tion and plans of the difficulty of attempting any such refinements of sanitary science as the Separate System involves.

From the remarks above on the construction and working of Chinese houses, I trust I have shown how very Difficulty of difficult it is, even with the present Combined System, to effect the drainage of tenements. The Separate the Separate System of drainage is a refinement which most towns, even at home, shrink from adopting, and which the Chinese are utterly unsuited for. I have shewn that there cannot be, in purely Chinese districts, any rainfall which would not be polluted, and the remarks of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON on this head are greatly to the point. There- fore, if the rain water drain is liable to pollution, it immediately becomes a sewer, and the carrying out of the Separate System would only mean providing two sets of sewers.

As the question of house drains has been but briefly mentioned in Mr. COOPER's report, I will only add my House drains testimony to the badness of their construction and design, speaking generally, but to "attribute the chief cause the cause of "of foul emanations from the main sewers opening in the streets and elsewhere to the house drains, is hardly fair; as the main sewers are also very defective in places, and practically unprovided with any system of
ventilation.
The course adopted for some years has been, that, wherever foul gas was complained of, trapping the street gullies was resorted to, thus reducing even the small amount of ventilation that existed, instead of constructing proper ventilators.
I again quote from Sir ROBERT Rawlinson :-

My general experience is, that very few traps laid down in Chinese houses are allowed to remain intact. Traps destroyed My firm has within the last few years laid down in new Chinese houses some hundreds of cast iron traps, and I will undertake to prove that nearly all the gratings are broken, and the bottom of the traps knocked out. custom being to make the house drains take refuse of every description, such as vegetable matter, fruit skins, &c., the traps at once become choked and the blame is laid on them. Quite recently I discovered in a first class Chinese house, the cast iron trap laid down by my firm about four months before had been removed, and a grating of exactly similar pattern on top, but with a plain connection to the sewer had been substituted, the trap having no doubt caused trouble and inconvenience.

From the above remarks, and my experience generally, which would be borne out by any person interested House drains in and acquainted with Chinese property, it is plain that any house drain and connection must be of the most simple character, and in no case permitted inside the dwelling house.

If the main sewers in the streets and lanes are thoroughly well ventilated, I would go so far as to say that Suggestion to for the purely Chinese districts, it would be well for the Government to recognize the above facts, and not to attempt any thing in the nature of traps, but to enforce the construction of good pipe connections properly jointed with strong iron gratings at the open ends.

I realize that no system of drainage will alter the nature of the odours of the Chinese quarter, which are not Odours in necessarily unhealthy, as evidenced by experience of Canton, where the surface of the narrow streets is formed by quarters. the granite covers of the main sewers, and the large open joints of the cover stones ensure very thorough venti- lation to the sewers, which are therefore practically open channels.
I disagree entirely with the opinion of Mr. CoOPER, that practically nothing can be done with the main Main sewers to drainage, till the house connections are first put in order. Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON distinctly states:-
"In sewering a town or village, the main sewers should first be completed, side junctions for branch drains, "and house junctions having in all cases been provided, and indicated on the plan. House drains in detail may "then be proceeded with."
This appears to me to be but common sense, as until the level of the main sewers are settled and the junc- tions put in, it is impossible to lay out the house drains to the best advantage, and it is useless to discharge, through the most perfect house drains, sewage matter into imperfect or unventilated sewers. If sewage gas be formed it has to be discharged somewhere, and if not in the streets then in the back yards.

Separate System on house owners) whether traps are insisted on or gratings only, as I propose, is merely a detail; the effect in a few years will be the same, only I would by clear instructions and efficient supervision insist on the proper construction of the drains and connections.
By taking each outfall, and consequently each natural line of drainage separately, the re-modelling of the drainage of the Chinese portions of the city would become a comparatively simple operation, and could be com- pleted in a far less period of time than the difficult scheme proposed by Mr. COOPER.
Not having been permitted to examine the estimates of Mr. COOPER'S Scheme, and the drawings giving no details, I am unable to discuss this absolutely necessary part of any Engineering work, but I will unhesitatingly state, that the works he proposes cannot be carried out for the total figures in his estimate, viz.: $230,000 exclu- sive of the North Point Pumping Station, and that $400,000 will be nearer that cost; and the complete scheme including the proposed North Point Sewer and Pumping Station about $550,000 will be approximately the cost. The scheme as proposed by me would, not only dispense with all the necessary pipe sewers of the Separate System of the entire Red area, but also the very expensive collecting sewers along the lower levels for the purpose of discharging at four points only, and no pumping station would be required, therefore, whatever figure his scheme may cost, that proposed by me can be done for about half the amount, and I trust I have proved will be more efficient in results, viz.: the rapid drainage and disposal of the sewage matter and rainfall of the City.
In conclusion I will briefly sum up the arguments of this report :-
1.
Red
That owing to the dissimilarity in point of acreage to population, the Chinese districts coloured may be dealt with in a different manner to the European districts coloured Yellow. The Red containing 373 persons per acre and the Yellow 93, or a difference of just four times.
2. That the customs, habits and mode of living of the people occupying the two districts are entirely
dissimilar.
3. That the Separate System for the European districts, and combined for the Chinese, are the most suitable, and the two districts are thereby disconnected, there being no communicating drains of any sort between the entirely Chinese parts of the City and those principally occupied by Europeans. This might prove of great benefit should certain epidemics break out and would prevent sewage gases ascending from the Chinese thickly populated districts up the steep sewers (which act almost as chimneys) to the Europeans living above; this being a cause tending to make the upper levels the more unhealthy.
4.-That the subsoil water which crops out almost entirely in the yellow areas can easily be dealt with
by connecting it direct to the rain water drains.
5. That the Yellow portions are eminently suited to the adoption of the Separate System, while any
attempt at separation of the Red portions, must prove a failure.
6.-That the two systems are more economical than the adoption of the Separate System for the entire City, and that it will do away with the many very serious complications that would arise in the narrow streets, and thickly populated portions of China Town.
7. That separation in the Chinese districts is unnecessary and uncalled for, is extremely difficult and expensive to carry out, with the four outfalls proposed, which necessitate intercepting sewers and perhaps pumping.
8.-That the adoption of the Combined System, with numerous proper outfalls, would ensure the com- plete and rapid disposal of the sewage of the Chinese districts, and utilize, in a thorough manner, the large amount of excellent work done by the Government during the past six years.
9. That the scheme of drainage proposed by me would be less costly, more effective, and easier of
execution than the very expensive scheme of Mr. COOPER.
I shall, if required, be willing to furnish complete detailed plans, specification, and estimates, for the complete drainage of the City.

SEPARATE SYSTEM OF MAIN-DRAINAGE.
The Honourable the Surveyor General's reply to Mr. Leigh's Report of November, 1888.
( Plan accompanying this report not printed.)
REPORT.
957
Report of
1. I have carefully considered the objections which have been advanced by Mr. R. K. LEIGH, C.E., to the Mr LEIGH'S proposal for the drainage of Victoria on the Separate System, as also his offer to furnish detailed plans and November, 1888, specifications of a drainage scheme of his own in substitution of the designs prepared at my instance by Mr. COOPER, the Government Sanitary Engineer. My Report on the matter has had to stand over pending the decision of the Secretary of State in respect of the proposed Praya Reclamation scheme, as the realization of this great work has a direct bearing on the drainage question rendering desirable a reconsideration of the best positions of the sewer outfalls along the Praya wall.
2. Before proceeding to deal with Mr. LEIGH's. objections, I may observe-in passing-with regard to Government works and projects generally, that the criticism, when intelligent, of local engineers in private practice is not without its advantages in raising discussion on points that may be open to question, but that in this particular instance I do not find any contribution of value to the discussion in the pages of Mr. LEIGH'S letter, for his condemnation of the Separate System is clearly based on a very imperfect knowledge of facts and on assumptions that can be disproved without difficulty, and I may therefore frankly say that so far as I have been able to follow his arguments I find in them nothing likely to weigh seriously with any professional Authority in England to whom My Lord the Secretary of State may wish to refer these papers for an opinion.
3. I desire also to state at the outset that both Mr. COOPER and myself are in entire accord with the opinions and sanitary maxims contained in Mr. LEIGH's very copious excerpts from the writings of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON, Mr. CHADWICK, and the rest of the Authorities quoted by him, and that our objection is limited to the obvious misuse to which those opinions have been put in assailing the Separate System as proposed by us, more especially are Mr. LEIGH's exhortations in respect of the increased ventilation of sewers most misleading as tending to imply that the Government Engineers are insufficiently alive to the need of such ventilation--when the real position we have taken up in this particular is that Mr. LEIGH'S ventilation panacea is not sufficient,-that other things must be done in addition. Also with regard to Mr. LEIGH's constant refer- ences to Mr. CHADWICK, it may prevent misconception if I state at once that there is nothing in Mr. CHADWICK'S Report on the Sanitation of Hongkong antagonistic to the Separate System.
No..
4. For the reasons set forth in the two printed Reports of the 23rd of July and the 24th of August last we Sessional l'aper have proposed to the Colonial Government that the drainage of the City of Victoria should be recast on the Separate System. In this arrangement Mr. LEIGH concurs as regards the European portions of the City shewn. tinted yellow on the map attached to his letter, but in lieu of the Separate System he advocates the Combined System for those portions of Victoria which are inhabited by the Chinese and which he shews coloured pink on the map.
5. The establishment of two distinct systems side by side-would, generally speaking, not be desirable in the same town because it introduces a complication where simplicity is the object in view, but even if nothing could be said against such complication in respect of towns built on flat or level ground, in Victoria, which is terraced on a strongly marked slope, the relative positions, topographically, of the two districts, European and Chinese, makes the introduction of two systems less desirable than ever, for if in the European or upper half of Victoria new pipe sewers were laid down on the Separate System as concurred in by Mr. LEIGH-and carried down through the Chinese or lower half of the town in order to reach the sea,-it is difficult to see why the presence of these main conduits passing through China town should not be utilized for native house sewage as well, more especially as they would be a hundred times more adaptable for the conveyance of foul waters than the storm water drains to which Mr. LEIGH wishes to restrict native sewage.
S
6. If the sewers of the yellow district could reach the sea without traversing the districts tinted pink,- the case would be different, and something might then be said in favour of a complete dissociation of the two systems, but this is impossible as the pink section of the town interposes as a barrier along the whole length of the city between the yellow section and the harbour. Mr. LEIGH's map does not represent correctly the two districts. The distribution of colours is erroneous; it should have been so made as to accord with the line of demarcation provided for in the European Reservation Ordinance which is the only true division. In the Central portion of his map Mr. LEIGH shews the yellow extending down the hill-slope as far as the water's edge, and also at the extreme right-hand of the map he shews a second yellow district stretching along the shore as far as Causeway Bay. Both these yellow sections excepting the comparatively small patch comprising the City

Hall, the Cricket Ground, the Naval Yard, and the Military Cantonments, should have been shewn tinted pink between Queen's Road and the sea, because within their boundaries there is no legal restriction against native structures, and because there is every probability in view of the continued influx of Chinese from the mainland, of the ground being covered by such structures partially if not wholly. Nor are even the Military Cantonments themselves altogether safe from a similar fate, for there is actually a scheme under the consideration of the War Office for the sale of a portion of the Military lands for Chinese building purposes in order to raise funds for the erection of European Barracks on more important sites elsewhere. Mr. LEIGH should therefore have shewn one long littoral strip of pink colour embracing the whole of the lower city, except the patch above men- tioned, and if he had done so it would have been patent to anybody at the first glance of his map, that the Separate System sewers of the yellow portions having to be carried through the pink portions, had best be utilized by the Chinese as well, for the disposal of their foul waters.
different reasons.
7. At page 4* of his letter Mr. LEIGH states that his opposition to the Separate System is due to three
His first reason is that it will not be possible to separate the rainfall from the sewage of native tenements. He says, in this connexion, that the rain from the roofs and backyards of houses cannot be led away as proposed by Mr. CoOPER, by means of surface-gutters passing from backyard to backyard because the owners of the houses will be likely to stop up the gutters at the communication-holes in the divisional walls between the backyards, or else because leaves or sticks may choke up these communication-holes with the result that the ground floors would be flooded and trouble caused. Therefore Mr. LEIGH proposes, in
lieu, that the storm-waters should escape as at present through the foul-water drain of the house. But at page 13* of his letter Mr. LEIGH describes the foul-water drain of the house as being generally choked up with vegetable matter, fruit-skins and other solid refuse. On his own shewing therefore he takes us from the frying pan into the fire for it will be clear to the merest tyro in Sanitation that Mr. COOPER'S open surface- gutter can be kept unobstructed far more easily for the escape of flood waters than Mr. LEIGH's varicose underground house-drain. But in fact there are no grounds whatsoever for Mr. LEIGH's apprehensions that the house-owners will stop up the rain gutters. The Chinese are very neighbourly among themselves and would not be guilty of such silly acts of aggression towards each other, more especially as the passage of the surface-gutter across a backyard does a tenement no harm. If any such abuse as that feared by Mr. LEIGH did prevail, it could readily be met by legislative enactment. From his recommendation that the heavy tropical rainfall of this climate should be conveyed away through the house-drains it is clear Mr. LEIGH does not appreciate the main advantage of the Separate System viz.: the admissibility of small diameters for the house-drains. He attaches no importance to this, preferring to have in the sewage-conduits of the houses and of the streets diameters so large that they shall also be able to take in the heavy and deluging floods of Summer. Yet it is these large diameters, these capacions sizes, exposing so large a floor surface of sewer and so large a surface of sewage for evaporation to which we attribute the sluggish flow in the east and west street sewers and the consequent undue exhalation of noxious air from them. Also in respect of the objection to surface-gutters I should not forget to repeat here that Mr. COOPER's scheme does provide for the admission into the house-drain of a sufficient quantity of the rainfall,--and that is only the excess which it is proposed to convey away in the surface-gutters. This judicious arrangement while on the one hand providing the house-drain with a sufficient volume of rain water, will so restrict that volume as to enable it to be carried off -by means of pipes of small diameter.
8. Mr. LEIGH's second reason for objecting to the Separate System is that the scheme divides the City into four drainage districts (page 4* of Mr. LEIGH's letter). I am not sure that I have seized the grounds or reasons of this objection quite correctly as the indictment is so rambling that it is difficult to follow the argu- ments, but I understand Mr. LEIGH to mean that he would prefer six drainage districts instead as shewn in his map, the out-falls being placed at points marked L. 1, L. 2, L. 3, L. 4, L. 5, and L. 6. Mr. COOPER's contem- plated division of the City into four separate drainage areas is in accordance with the natural configuration of the hill-slope and of the spurs and ravines that intersect those areas. The division is a natural division governed purely by the topography of the ground and the gradients of the streets. Under this arrangement the town sewage will be conveyed by easy inclines to certain points of out-fall away from the more populous centres of Victoria and discharged where the tidal current will soonest disperse it. The proposed inclines will be nowhere so flat as to incur the risk of undue deposits of silt in the pipe-sewers, more especially looking to the volume of descending sewage from the upper levels which will always maintain the flow through the lower town at a speed sufficient to be self-cleansing. In this respect Mr. LEIGH'S Combined System proposes the creation of new main drains running straight down the hill on steep inclines ranging from about one in four to one in ten, but this alternative is objectionable if only because it makes it difficult with such steep inclines to regulate and control the escape of the gases generated in such sewers,-a difficulty that is not lessened by the necessarily large sizes to which these conduits would have to be built since Mr. LEIGH would destine them also for the
E

escape of rain-water. Mr. LEIGH states also that in lieu of only four points of out-fall he would prefer many more and so avoid concentration of sewage inatter at so few as four places. There might be something in this contention if the water in the harbour were stagnant, but as Mr. COOPER's proposed outlets of sewage-delivery but are swept by tidal currents, Mr. LEIGH's multiplication of out-falls does not appear to me to be necessary, whether necessary or not, the question is disposed of with regard to the Central and Western districts now that we are to have a general reclamation of the foreshore from Murray Pier to West Point; because it is certain that the erection of the new quay wall further out into the harbour along deeper water will tend to im- prove the velocity of the inshore currents and thus promote the more rapid dispersion of the effluent.
959
In lieu of these inter- 9. Mr. LEIGH's third and final objection is to the proposed intercepting sewers. cepting sewers Mr. LEIGH recommends the direct consigning into the sea-of the contents of each descending He impugns main-sewer as soon as the latter has been carried down to the Praya level-by the shortest route. the propriety of collecting together the aggregate sewage of several knots or groups of foul-water drains, and contends that this gathering in of converging foul waters into one trunk-pipe running parallel with the shore- line will not work, because the incline will be so flat as to preclude flow and thereby choke the trunk-pipe. In the previous paragraph I have already explained that there will be a self-cleansing velocity, and that as the But trunk-pipe has been designed to be self-cleansing, the block anticipated by Mr. LEIGH will not occur. again here the new Reclamation Scheme which was elaborated subsequently to the Drainage Project will neces- sitate a reconsideration of the latter in that branch of it which relates to the intercepting sewers, and as we shall now have in the central and western town a marine embankment in deep water throughout, I am of opinion that it will be found preferable to adopt the modification set forth in the small alternative plan prepared by Mr. COOPER and dated the 29th of December, 1888, which plan together with a Report from Mr. COOPER in reply Mr. COOPER'S to Mr. LEIGH's criticisms is now submitted. In the Eastern portion of Victoria where no sea-reclamation is contemplated the first or original scheme prepared by Mr. COOPER would remain unaltered.
‧
10. All those passages in Mr. LEIGH's letter wherein he urges the increased ventilation of the main sewers in connexion with his Combined Project, are, as stated before, concurred in by Mr. COOPER and myself provided the main sewers are continued in use as foul-water conduits. If sewage however is diverted from them into separate glazed stoneware pipe-drains as advocated by us it will obviously be unnecessary to embark in any system of increased ventilation for channels that are destined to carry only rain-water. The question of the adoption or the rejection of the Separate System must therefore be settled first, and that of the ventila- tion of the present sewers second, and on this point I would like to point out that all the ventilation in the world will be useless so long as each private house-drain connected with such ventilated main continues to remain an elongated cesspool of putrid sewage, without fall or without flow. Mr. COOPER and myself have pre- ferred to advise the reconstruction of defective house-drains as the first remedy and increased ventilation of mains as the second. Mr. LEIGH joins issue with us, and clamours for the increased ventilation of mains while he relegates the removal of the noxious house-drains and their substitution by properly built ones to a second place in the order of importance. To illustrate my point by a simile: Mr. LEIGH brings into the room a dead cat far gone in decomposition and then with his handkerchief to his nose begins to clamour about the defective ventilation of the room. Our reply is a simple common-sense reply; we say : "As however wide we may open the door and window to improve the ventilation, the smell will not disappear, your best plan will be to remove the cause of smell first." With regard to defective house-drains however, it may be stated that the Public Health Ordinance, having now made sanitary reform compulsory a marked improvement may be expected. within the next few years in the drainage of native tenements, and this together with the ample ventilating facilities shewn in Mr. COOPER's proposed pipe-sewers under the Separate System, will provide the true remedy for the evil odours complained of.
Report of 29th December, 1888, and enclosure.
948.]
11. At page 5* of his letter Mr. LEIGH proposes to reserve exclusively for the passage of through-streams [* Gazette, p. from the Mountain side,-all the present drains of a larger size which traverse the Chinese districts. No sewage is to enter these larger main drains, but duplicate sewers are to be built alongside of thein for the escape of the local rainfall in the particular district subserved, and for the district sewage combined. This looks to me very much like the Separate System, and if Mr. LEIGH acknowledges in respect of the larger main-drains the advantage of dissociating foul waters from storm floods, why not extend his support to the lesser drains which are only in one degree less subjected to the same conditions, and at once espouse Mr. COOPER's propositions? But Mr. LEIGH'S proposition of large sized double-barrelled main drains down the same valley lines besides being clumsy and complicated will involve if adopted, an outlay so large as to represent in this particular feature alone, about one quarter of Mr. COOPER's entire estimate of cost, and if to this outlay we add the expense of providing new combined sewers in all those streets which at present do not possess them we shall find that Mr. LEIGH's estimates of cost will exceed those of Mr. COOPER with the difference that under the carefully elaborated plans of the latter we shall acquire a thoroughly comprehensive

and effective system of town-drainage while under the crude and imperfectly throughout schemes of the forme we shall have attained only a disjointed one of inferior value.
12. As reference is made in more than one passage of Mr. LEIGH's letter to more recent drainage improve ments effected under my supervision, it may remove misconceptions if I explain that these works hav comprised the construction of new drains in streets where none existed before, the reconstruction of main drain on straight lines. Where in the earlier days of the Colony they had been built on tortuous lines (as fo instance at Jervois Street and Bonham Strand which Mr. LEIGH describes as still existent though they wer properly rebuilt as far back as five years ago) and the extension of the town drains higher up the hill wher they terminate in open chimney shafts, and that all these works would not be by any means superseded of rendered useless for the purposes they were designed by the adoption now of the Separate System, inasmuch as sound drains are as great a necessity for the escape of storm waters as are sound sewers for the escape of foul-waters.
13. Long before Mr. COOPER's Separate System Project was submitted by me to the Colonial Government I had carefully weighed over in my mind all the considerations now. put forward by Mr. LEIGH, and it was only after a very careful deliberation of all the pros and cons both in respect of the Combined System and the Separate System that I resolved to support as strongly as I was able the carefully prepared plan of Mr. COOPER. I am convinced that the Separate System for the Chinese districts of the City, with its proposed glazed stoneware pipe mains of limited diameter, laid in straight lines on moderately steep gradients and with all its accessories in the shape of ventilating grates, turning Chambers, Manholes etc., and its carefully determined volume of flow-is in the present circumstances of the Colony infinitely preferable to a continuation of the Combined System-under which we are tied to the conveyance of sewage through granite sewers of unduly large size, laid to unduly steep gradients and on lines that are full of bends and twists and which are constructed of a material less adapted to stimulate flow in the more level streets than the smooth glassy surface of stone-ware pipes. I came to my conclusions the more readily that I recognized how much there remained yet to be done in the reconstruction and repair of the actual net-work of granite drains before we could hope to make the combined system attain even a moderate degree of efficiency, all of which meant an expenditure of public money that would go a very long way to establish the Separate System in its entirety if we elected to adopt this rival system in lieu. Also I particularly considered the question of the interception feature of Mr. COOPER'S scheme-with its system of overflows-and the positions proposed for the out-falls, and have been convinced by a careful investigation of the float experiments that the points selected were the most judicious, furthermore I have considered in respect of the proposed new sea wall to be now built along deep water that due regard for the safety of that structure during typhoons requires that the number of sewer outlets should be as limited as is consistent with the efficiency of the sewerage arrangements of the town and I am therefore in favour of the smallest number of openings possible.
14. In the foregoing remarks which relate purely to the native districts of Victoria, I have made no allusion to the higher or European levels because in respect of these I understand there is complete unanimity of opinion.
15. In conclusion I would submit that I am of opinion no advantage will be gained by the acceptance of Mr. LEIGH's professional offer to furnish competing plans and specifications of his own for a Counter project of public drainage because his propositions while far more costly than he is aware of do not hold out to the Colony any promise of the same thorough and efficient results that are apparent under Mr. COOPER'S carefully prepared designs.

Mr. CHADWICK'S
Report.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT,
December 29th, 1888.
SIR,-In answer to your invitation of the 22nd instant I have now the honor to forward you the following observations on Mr. LEIGH's report on the Proposed Drainage of the City of Victoria.
On page 3* Mr. LEIGH states that the proposed scheme is diametrically opposed to that of Mr. CHADWICK. On reference to Mr. CHADWICK'S report I find on page 25 in discussing the advisability of admitting rainfall into the sewers he says "The principal argument for its admission is that downpours of rain clean the

Sewers.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
On page 49 of Mr. CHADWICK'S report, paragraph 11 reads as follows:-"Plates 1 and 11 show methods of draining some common types of houses according to the principles just enunciated. Provision is made for the removal of slop water only, but, as stated in the report, drains fit for that purpose are fit for the convey- ance of excreta also, so that when the time comes they can easily receive the additions necessary to fit them for this additional duty. No provision is made for removal of rain water which should be dealt with separately for the reasons stated in the report. The dimensions are, however, ample to receive a considerable quantity of rain, to carry off all would be clearly impossible."
At page 33, in paragraph 207 of the same report Mr. CHADWICK says:-"The upper portions of the existing sewers, those above Queen's Road, are, thanks to their great fall, rather than to their design and construction, almost wholly free from deposit. Nevertheless, it would be well to render their inverts water- tight, and to accelerate the dry-weather flow through them, by concentrating it in a semi-circular tile, laid on the invert."
Mr. CHADWICK evidently did not entertain a very high opinion of the old sewers.
950.]
961
Mr. LEIGH on page 7* of his report quotes a speech made by the Surveyor General on the 5th of Novem- [* Gazette, p. ber, 1836, in which he stated that 43 miles of new sewers had been constructed and many other improvements. carried out during the last three and a half years.
These new sewers above referred to are those constructed where previously open nullahs existed and extensions of the old system. The improvements have mainly been in connection with the main drains of the city among which I may mention, Gleneally, Peel Street, Eastern Street, Centre Street, Western Street and Middle Street drains.
There must still exist in the city many branch drains quite unsuited for the conveyance of sewage, any improvement to these necessitates entire reconstruction, and I would further point out, as will be seen on looking at the plan, that no Government Sewer exists in some of the streets.
I am therefore of opinion that if Mr. CHADWICK had submitted a complete scheme it would have included " for many new sewers and at any rate to a considerable extent he would have adopted the "Separate Sy stem the drainage of the Chinese portion of the city.
Fever Commis-
1888.
On reference to the report of the Commissioners enquiring into the prevalence of fever in the Western Hongkong District I find on page XIV. the following:-" At the same time they would draw attention to the fact that son Report, the withholding night soil from the sewers does not do away with the necessity for pipe-sewers. They would recommend the general adoption of pipe-sewers in addition to sub-soil and surface drainage." This report is dated 13th of August, 1888.
Mr. LEIGH proposes to use the existing drains for the conveyance of sewage and rainfall from the Chinese portions of the city and allow them to discharge as at present into the harbour, "but having no con- nection with the few large main storm-water drains, which convey the flood water from the hill sides above through the city."
Accompanying this report I forward a small plan on which I have shewn in blue "the few large main storm-water drains which convey the flood water from the hill sides above through the city." They are eleven in number and as will be seen from the Contours on the plan and as stated in my previous report occupy the principal valley lines, and are the main outfall sewers for the districts through which they pass.
It is evident that in the event of excluding the sewage from these and at the same time continuing to adopt the combined system of drainage for the Chinese portion of the city as proposed by Mr. LEIGH new sewers of considerable capacity must be constructed.
The other alternative is to intercept the storm water from the hill sides at or about the level of Caine Road and conduct it in new storm water drains to the harbour.
Now if the sewage and storm waters from the Chinese portion of the city are to be diverted from the existing drains it is clear that the circumstances favouring the deposit of material washed from the hill sides in the sewers will be materially increased.
On the other hand if the storm water from the hill sides above Caine Road be intercepted and diverted from the existing drains a considerable outlay will be involved and the risk of serious damage being done to property during heavy rainfalls increased. It would farther be necessary to improve some of the drains below Queen's Road to prevent the deposit of sewage matters in them.
I certainly contend it would be better to divert the sewage proper from the existing large drains by means of small pipe sewers as proposed in my report and farther as the system recommended by me provides for the construction of sewers in every street greater facilities for the disposal of sewage from private promises will exist than hitherto if this scheme is adopted.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
The natural slopes of the streets where no sewers now exist admit of the side channels being used for the conveyance of rain water to the existing main drains, so no new sewers for this purpose are required.
Mr. LEIGH has laid down on the plan accompanying his report points L'. L. L3. La. L3. and L. which he recommends as suitable positions for the sewer outfalls from the various districts marked Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively.
A glance at the contour plan forwarded herewith shows that the ground in the western district slopes towards the west, so that practically the whole of the district west of Eastern Street is unprovided for unless an intercepting sewer is carried eastwards through the lower part of the city.
The same remarks apply to the position of the outfall L. for Section 2.
Mr. LEIGH contends on page 9* of his report there is no foreshore worthy of mention from Kennedytown to the City Hall.
In his evidence given before the Commission enquiring into the prevalence of fever in the Western District I find the following.
"909. But in front of each opening there is a decomposing mass.
A. There ought to be no foreshore allowed.
910. But there is

which I know did not exist when I came eight years ago. Very little dredging would suffice to remove them and the New Praya Scheme will put us out into deep water."
On page 32, paragraph 197 Mr. CHADWICK in his report says. "The outfalls of the present sewers are through the Praya wall into the harbour. Here the tidal current is weak at all times. No steps have been taken to carry out the sewage beyond and below low-water mark or to reach the tidal current. The inverts of the sewer outlets are usually at, or near the level of low-water ordinary springs. Hence on a warm still day at low-water, the stench along the Praya is most offensive."
It is clear from the foregoing that 6 years ago the state of the foreshore on the Praya Front was such as led Mr. CHADWICK to take exception to it and I certainly consider the condition of the Praya Front at low- water decidedly a nuisance.
A few months ago dredging operations were going on in front of the Harbour Master's Office the nuisance caused by stirring up the mud was obvious and showed that a considerable deposit of foul matters had taken place.
It must be remembered also that native craft are moored alongside the Praya for nearly its whole length. Unless the Praya Reclamation is carried out I unhesitatingly recommend the construction of the outfall sewers I proposed.
If the Praya Scheme is finally decided on a question may arise whether the advantages to be gained outweigh the cost of the construction of these outfalls.
The gradients of the outfall sewers are not unreasonably flat for outfall sewers. The large areas draining into them at the commencement of the flat gradients will ensure a sufficient flow in them to maintain a self cleansing velocity.
I estimate that the maximum hourly flow during each period of 24 hours, no rain having fallen, will be from District No. 2 at the rate of 2,000 gallons per minute, from District No. 3 at the rate of 800 gallons per minute and from District No. 4 at the rate of 1,200 gallons per minute.
Mr. LEIGH states during the Southwest Monsoon, especially when typhoons are in the neighbourhood, the sea level remains abnormally high for days together. I have been unable to find in the tidal records I have examined that the height of the sea level is such as to present any serious obstacles in the way of the satisfactory working of the sewers.
Mr. LEIGH objects to the syphons. On reference to the sections it will be seen good fall has been given to them and that they are laid falling to a manhole at their lower ends, under these circumstances and from past experience I consider his objections groundless.
*
On page 10 Mr. LEIGH quotes the following opinion of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON sewers formed along steep gradients therefore require to have more care bestowed on the means of ventilation than other sewers laid

along flat districts.
Every one who has had any experience in town sewerage is perfectly well aware of this and yet Mr. LEIGH recommends the rapid descent of the sewers from the high level district, in which he supports me in proposing the adoption of the Separate System, in preference to the more gradual descent of the high level intercepting sewer along Caine Road proposed by me and which unlike Mr. LEIGH'S proposed outfall provides for the drainage of the whole of the district above the Caine and Bonham Roads.
Mr. LEIGH takes exception to my evidence before the Fever Commission in which I stated I could not recommend at present any further ventilation of the sewers on the lower levels, and claims the support of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON. I am quite ready to agree with Mr. LEIGH that ventilation improves the air in the sewers, but I contend that so long as many of the drains on private premises exist in their present condition no amount of ventilation of the main sewers would materially improve the air in the house-drains.

953-4-5.]
Mr. LEIGH in raising objections to the adoption of the Separate System on pages 11, 12 and 13* of his report [* Gazette, pp. seems to have entirely ignored the provision I have made for carrying off the rain-water. Over the whole of the Chinese part of the town I have allowed 2.40 inches per 24 hours which after deducting the water supply leaves a margin of at least 2 inches of rainfall per 24 hours to be admitted into the sewers, and further the steep gradients the sewers must necessarily have in this district will enable them to discharge into the intercept- ing sewer even more than this quantity, the intercepting sewers as stated in my report being relieved by the overflows direct through the Praya Wall into the harbour.
The flooding of ground floors, and the injury to merchandise, I consider are practically out the question most of the houses in the Chinese district will have better provision under the new system proposed for the getting rid of storm water from the back yards than they have at present.
The question as to whether street washings ought to be allowed into the storm water drains is also raised by Mr. LEIGH. It will no doubt be advisable in some of the streets to admit by means of small gratings the dry weather flow into the sewers, but the regular scavenging and the absence of animal excreta, all the carrying being done by human labour, very much reduce its objectionable character. The hawking of vegetable produce in the streets should be limited as far as possible and seeing the extensive market accommodation the Govern- ment are providing I presume this practice will be very much restricted.
As the advisability of constructing the intercepting sewers at present in view of the proposed Praya Recla- mation project will doubtless receive the careful attention of the Authorities in England I forward a plan shewing a series of outfalls along the Praya arranged so as to provide for the discharge of the sewage into the harbour and at the same time admitting of their being ultimately picked up by the intercepting sewers proposed by me should circumstances necessitate the adoption of such a course.
If the intercepting sewers are abandoned the Scheme will not provide for the drainage of Causeway Bay reclamation.
I estimate the cost of the project without the intercepting sewers at $195,000.

REPORT ON THE SEWERAGE OF THE HIGH-LEVEL DISTRICT OF THE
CITY OF VICTORIA, HONGKONG.
SIR,-In continuation of the reports, which I have already submitted to you, with regard to the Recommendations made by the Commissioners appointed to enquire into the cause of the Fever, &c.; I have now the honour to lay before you, my recommendations as to the sewerage of that district.
1. In my previous reports I merely expressed concurrence with the statement, that the sewerage of the district, required improvement. Having made an examination of the district in question, and of that adjacent to it, eastward between the same altitudes; I find that many similar conditions obtain in both. The topographical features are such that the joint area may be treated as one sewerage scheme, which will be absolutely separate and distinct, from the sewerage of any other portion of the City of Victoria. I propose therefore to discuss, not merely the sewerage of the Western District; but that of what may be called the High-level District. The boundaries of the High-level District are, approximately, as follows. To the northward or below, Caine Road, as far as Ladder Street, thence westward by Bonham Road to its junction with Pokfoolum Road; and on, by Hill Road and Queen's Road to Belcher's Point. To the south or above, the present boundary is the Pokfoolum Aqueduct. To the east, the boundary is Shelley Street, though a few houses, east of this, may be connected to it. To the west, the boundary is at present undetermined, but may be taken as a line drawn in a southerly direction from Belcher's Point. The High-level District, therefore, comprises the greater portion of the area, reserved for European dwellings. Its sewerage-system may be so arranged as to be wholly distinct from that of the City below. Indeed it will scarcely be an exaggeration to say, that no Chinese tenement will pour its sewage into this system.
2. The sewerage-system (if it merits the name), which has hitherto obtained in this and other districts, has been to drain tenements to the nearest natural storm-water channel, or nullah. When the open channel has become offensive, owing to the sewage poured into it, the nuisance has been abated, or rather hidden, by covering it over.
In this manner a number of large covered storm-water channels have come into existence, which follow the courses of natural water-courses, and which convey both rain-water and sewage to the harbour.
3. From the point where these combined channels cross Queen's Road, to their mouths at the Praya, they have but little fall, and they are filled up with sea water, on the rise of each tide. Excepting, therefore, during heavy rain, the current through them is checked in the lower and flatter parts, and a deposit of earth, stones and sand, mingled with sewage, takes place, giving off offensive emanations; which may, and often do, rise to the upper regions above.
4. In my original report on the Sanitary Condition of Hongkong, I proposed to remedy this, by diverting the sewage-proper and dry-weather flow from the combined sewer and storm-water channel, at the point where it enters the flat region, and conducting it by a separate pipe of small diameter to the sea. I further recommended certain improvements to the storm-water channels, in their steeper parts, so as to render them more suitable for the conveyance of sewage. These recommendations however, have not been carried out; nor, with the exception of a few lengths of pipe sewer, constructed since the arrival of Mr. COOPER, has any improvement been made in the construction of street-sewers. As far as sewerage is concerned, matters are now very much in the same condition, as they were in 1882. I now propose to effect the interception at an earlier period. All recent experience shews that a channel, suitable for the conveyance of a tropical rain-fall, is not a suitable conduit for sewage, in dry weather. The practice of converting storm-water channels into sewers has, not only here, but everywhere, been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
5. This decision has been arrived at, principally by the consideration of recent experience, as to the ventilation of sewers. This question has received great attention of late years, and large additions have been made to the stock of knowledge on the subject. At the same time much misapprehension exists, as to the causes which necessitate it, its objects and effects. Before proceeding to describe the proposed sewerage of the High-level District, I propose to discuss, as briefly as possible, the principles of sewer-ventilation; and to define what it is intended to effect, what it can effect, and what it cannot do. These principles affect, not merely the High-level scheme; but every sewerage scheme whatsoever. To these general data, a brief discussion will be added of the general principles which have to be attended to, in the construction of sewers.
6. It is usual to speak of "sewer gas," as though it were some specific gaseous substance, such as oxygen or hydrogen, or ordinary coal gas; and to assume that sewage evolves this objectionable substance in large quantities. Now, as a matter of fact, sewage, even when containing the full amount of focal matter, and purposely retained in a stagnant and putrify- ing condition, is found to evolve but little true gas. The gases which it does evolve are marsh-gas, carbonic acid and a little sulphurated hydrogen.* These gases are produced by the decay of all vegetable matters, in the presence of water. They are not intrinsically poisonous or disease-producing. In a large un-ventilated sewer, containing deposit, an elongated cesspool, in short, those gases may accumulate and make the air unfit to sustain life. A man entering such a sewer might loose his life by suffocation. He would not be poisoned, any more than a man who is drowned, on falling into the water, is poisoned by it.
* Fide Appendix I. Appendix II.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890. 965
7. No such accumulation and stagnation can take place, in any properly constructed sewer, and the sewage, even if received, already putrescent, from defective house-drains; passes through such sewers so quickly, that but little true gas can be evolved, in transitu. Indeed the chemical composition of air taken from any ordinary sewer differs inappreciably from that of the air outside. In most cases, the most refined analytical methods would probably fail to establish any difference whatsoever.
8. What does take place is that the sewage, especially putrid sewage, imparts a most disagreeable smell to the air with which it comes in contact. In some cases also, it imparts to it most poisonous qualities. The quantity of odori- ferous matter, in sewage-tainted air, though painfully apparent to the nose; and even capable of producing immediate physiological effects, nausea, and so forth, is so minute as to elude the most delicate analytical methods. Just as a drop of attar-of-roses will scent a whole room; or to use a more suitable parallel the smell of cooking cabbage or onions will infect a whole house or neigbhourhood. Yet the chemist would have, to say the least, great difficulty in detecting the odoriferous principle of roses, cabbages or onions, in the air of the room, house or district. The nose is more sensitive than the balance of the analyst.
9. Nevertheless the fact remains that a small amount of sewage will impart a bad smell to a large quantity of air. The smell is stronger and more offensive, when the sewage is putrescent, than when it is fresh; when concentrated, than when amply diluted. It is, moreover, far from certain that the odoriferous emanation from sewage is the thing that produces disease. Indeed it seems probable that it is not. The disease-producing agent is usually supposed to be a yeast- like germ; having its origin or habitat in the sewage; but so far its existence in the air of sewers has not yet been demonstrated. It is only inferred from the fact that such organisms are found in the bodies of persons suffering from diseases, attributed to sewer-tainted air or water. Air smelling of sewage has been in contact therewith, and may, and frequently does, contain these subtle disease-producing particles, whatever they may be, for undoubtedly it ofter produces disease. Certain it is that sewage-tainted air cannot be breathed for a continuance, without danger to health.
10. Before proceeding to discuss the remedy for sewer smells, some facts may be mentioned as to the motion of air in sewers. It is popularly supposed that so called "sewer gas" has a tendency to ascend; probably because it is assumed to be, like some of the better known gases, lighter than air. Lofty ventilators are erected; and they are sup- posed to emit continuously, an invisible, but offensive and deadly cloud, like smoke from a chimney. But the air in sewers differs inappreciably from the air outside them, and its movements obey; not the arrows inscribed on plans by the draftsman, but the general physical laws of motion. Like everything else in the universe, it remains at rest, until it is acted upon by some unbalanced force, and when thus acted upon, it moves in the direction of the force.
11. If the air in an inclined or vertical pipe becomes warmer; and consequently lighter, than the air outside it, there is an unbalanced pressure at the lower orifice, and the air ascends and escapes at the top. If there be a source of heat within the tube, sufficient to heat and rarify each successive portion of air as it enters, a steady upward current will be the result. In an ordinary chimney, the fire supplies the heat, but even in this case, the upward current is not always as steady as could be wished. Chimneys sometimes smoke.
12. If the air in the tube is colder and denser than the air outside, then it will descend, and escape at the lower opening. If there were something in the tube, a lump of ice for example, that would cool the entering air, then a descending current would be the result. Owing to eddies, produced by buildings and the like, the wind may cause a greater pressure on one opening than on the other, and a movement, from the opening where the pressure is greatest, towards that where it is least. Lastly the passage of a current of water through the tube may induce, by friction, a cur- rent of air in the same direction as that of the water.
13. The causes which produce movements of air in sewers are slight, and not easy to trace. But as a matter of fact, downward currents are as often indeed more often observed than upward. This was the result of a series of experiments, made with self-registering apparatus, by Mr. SANTO CRIMP, on the sewers of Wimbledon. These observations which extended continuously, over a whole year, shewed conclusively the preponderance of the downward current. My own observations, here and elsewhere, though neither as exhaustive or conclusive as those of Mr. CRIMP, tend to the same conclusion. One case, which happened in Malta, is instructive. A certain ventilating shaft some 50 feet high, and very conspicuous, was supposed to pour forth "sewer gas" continuously, so as to infect the neighbourhood. The Committee appointed to enquire into the Cholera Epidemic of 1887, determined to see whether this ventilator (among others) did continuously pour forth sewage-tainted air. A man-hole, near to its connection with sewerage-system, was opened and some burning matter was inserted into the lower part of the ventilating pipe. A strong downward current was observed, so much so that the smoke drove the men out of the sewer. More fuel was added till a roaring fire was established; and the man-hole cover was then put on. The fire was maintained for two hours, but not until the expiration of that time did its heat disturb the condition of thing in the sewers sufficiently to establish an upward draft, and cause smoke to appear at the summit of the ventilator. This experiment does not shew that there never was an upward current. It merely shews that there may be a strong and persistent downward current; and it demonstrates the difficulty, amounting almost to an impossibility, of producing an artificial current through a system of sewers in any desired direction. On this point, another experiment of Mr. SANTO CRIMP may be cited. He closed every known opening to the Wimbledon
966
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
sewer, except those at the top and the bottom.
To the upper opening, he attached a ventilating fan, which exhausted the air from the sewer, sufficiently rapidly to remove its whole contents, every five minutes. Nevertheless, whilst the fan was at work, his apparatus, at the lower opening, continued to register a steady downward flow, just as it did before the fan commenced to work. The whole of the air, removed by the fan, as well as that which floved out below, must have entered by some un-trapped house-drain or other undiscovered opening. Indeed it may safely be asserted that the ventilation of a system of sewers, in the sense of producing a steady flow of air through it to some one point has never been effected. Indeed with the materials and appliances, at command, does it seem likely to be effected. If a fan or furnace were erected, for withdrawing the air from a large system of sewers at one point, and producing an indraft at Even if it another, it would have to be so powerful as to create a vacuum, near to it, sufficient to un-trap house-drains. did not, any house-connection which might become un-trapped, owing to leakage, or from evaporation, would admit enough air to destroy the current in the more remote parts of the system.
14. In a well-constructed and well-managed system of sewers; and house-drains, no such heroic system of ventilation is required. Nor does it seem to be even desirable. If the sewer-tainted air will remain in the sewer, it is at least as harmless there, as anywhere else. What has to be done, is to provide a sufficient number of openings, more properly called "vents" than " ventilators," which, if the air, contained in the sewer, tends to escape; will allow it to do so, in the open air, where it is relatively harmless, rather than by house-drains, into the interior of dwellings, where it is deadly. 15. The above stated facts and principles lead to the following conclusions as to the best way of abating the nuisance caused by escapes of sewer-tainted air from openings. It has been shewn that a small amount of sewage will taint a large volume of air. Clearly therefore, the less the quantity of air, exposed to the tainting-action of sewage, the better; thus leading to the conclusion that the size of sewers should be reduced to the minimum size practicable.
16. Now a sewer, which has also to act as a storm-water channel, must have a section, many times larger than if had to convey sewage only; and it will contain a larger volume of air, tainted with sewage, than a sewer, properly constructed, for sewage only. When, from any cause, an escape takes place, the large combined sewer will give forth a larger volume of tainted air, and produce a greater and more extended nuisance, than of the smaller volume escaping from the small sewer. The stream of sewage in the large sewer, exposes a greater area capable of imparting contamination to the contained air. Its damp sides, above the normal level of dry-weather-flow, are coated with low forms of fungoid growth, moulds, and the like, which doubtless contribute to the contamination of the air; and to the establishment of putrefactive action. The motion of this air is produced by causes, un- The large sewer, therefore, is a large store-room of sewer-tainted air. certain and beyond our control; and it will, from time to time, pour forth in large quantities, whenever and wherever the forces acting on the contained air cause it to issue forth. It is clear, therefore, that the section of sewers should be reduced to the minimum, and they should not be so designed as to convey large amounts of rain-water as well as sewage.
17. The manner of determining the minimum size, will be discussed later on, as well as the conditions under which rain-water may be admitted, and to what extent. The true remedy, however, for stenches from sewer-vents, is to make the sewage, passing through the public sewers, as little offensive as possible. To this end, it should be discharged into the sewers, fresh, before putrefaction has commenced, and it should be freely diluted with water. In other words, the remedy for the principal inconveniences, experienced in connection with sewers, consists mainly in good house-drains, properly made and properly used; in an ample water-supply; not lavished or wasted, but well-applied. An abundant water-supply is, even now, possessed by many, and in a short time, will be within the reach of all the inhabitants of Victoria (provided always that its distribution is well administered). The Government may assist the house-holder in obtaining good house-drains. But the people themselves have the prevention of nuisances, mainly in their own hands. If they will take care of their house-drains, the sewers will look after themselves. Unless the public, generally, co-operates with the Government in sanitation, by looking after the interior arrangements of their dwellings, by insisting on the drains being well constructed and decently maintained; all expenditure on sewers will be, if not useless, very much reduced in value, as regards the public health. If they do so co-operate the task of the Government in main- taining the sewers becomes a simple one, certain success.
18. The area, the sewerage of which is about to be discussed, is almost entirely inhabited by Europeans, and principally by the wealthier classes of that community. It is scarcely to be anticipated that such a population will neglect to take the simple precautions, necessary for the proper management of their house-drains. Their habits are such as lead to an abundant consumption of water. Any reasonably well constructed system of sewers is certain to be successful. If any failure does take place it will be the fault of the inhabitants of the district, and not of the Government, or of the designers of the system of sewers.
19. In determining the size of sewers, the following principles should be kept in view. The normal dry-weather- flow should fill the sewer, to about one-third of its diameter. That is to say the sewage, proper, with any sub-soil water that may be admitted, should, during the hours of maximum flow, fill the sewer to one-third of its diameter. The gradient of the sewer should be such, that with this amount of water passing through it, the velocity shall, on no account, be less than 2 feet per second, preferably more. This velocity is the least that will prevent deposit; and will scarcely serve to remove it, when once formed. During some part of each day considerably greater than 2 feet per second should obtain.

20. To prevent casual obstruction, it is found that certain minimum sizes of sewers should be used, irrespective of the duty that they have to perform; say 9" for principal sewers, and 6" for branches. To provide for new buildings also, sewers must be made somewhat larger than the size which would be in accordance with the flow of sewage from existing tenements. Nor, in the case of pipes, is it possible to adjust the sizes with any minute accuracy. The graduation of sizes in the market does not permit one to do so.
21. For these reasons, it will be advisable to provide means of flushing the sewer, by discharging, suddenly, from time to time, a considerable volume of water, so as to cause a rapid current through it. This may be done, either by collecting the sewage from higher levels in a tank; or by water derived from some other source such as the water-works or perennial springs. In the present instance, numerous natural springs will afford an ample supply for flushing. It is preferable, whenever practicable, that the sewer should keep itself clear of deposit, without flushing. The suddenly discharged flush displaces an equal volume of air, which must escape somewhere, and so produce smells from the vents, which will be aggravated by the fact that deposit has taken place, temporarily, which is stirred up by the flush.
22. It will not be possible, wholly to exclude rain-water from house-drains and from sewers. To do so, absolutely, would complicate house-drainage. If back-yards were provided with two sets of drains, there would be no means of preventing sewage from being poured down the storm-water channel. Again, the rain-water which flows off court-yards, stable-yards and the like, is practically, as foul as sewage; particularly at the commencement of a shower. It will, however, be seen that the sewers, even when reduced to the minimum practicable size, in accordance with the principles laid down above, will yet have a margin of carrying-capacity, sufficient to provide for a slight rainfall. House-drains, on the other hand, may have to carry off a considerable amount of rain-water. The sewers need not be enlarged, on this The proposed system crosses and re-crosses natural water-courses, at frequent intervals. At these points, over- flows should be constructed, by which the contents of the sewer can escape. Then the sewer will carry as much as it can; and in heavy storms, the excess will escape by the storm-overflow, to the nearest water-course, down which, by that time, a roaring torrent will be flowing.
account.
23. No hard-and-fast rule can be laid down, as to the amount of rain-water which may be admitted to house-drains. It should, however, be excluded, as far as possible; and carried off, by surface channels, to the storm-water system. As a rule, the rain-water from courts and yards only, should be admitted: places on which foul matter may accumulate. The advantage of this arrangement, as regards the householder, is great, for it facilitates the maintenance of the house- drain. It obviates any necessity for house-drains of the prodigious diameters, which are but too common in Hongkong, and which can only be kept clear of deposit by a lavish use of water. The common argument in favour of these huge drains is "make them big enough and they will not choke up-: "thus assuming the existence of deposits as a necessary incident in the working of a drain. Now if a drain is well laid and provided with proper traps, any solid object that can pass through the trap, will be carried away by a reasonable flush. Of course an object large enough to obstruct a small pipe will not choke a large one, but will remain in it, and form a nucleus of deposit. What happens in drains of immoderate size is that deposit goes on accumulating, perhaps for many years. The drain becomes a cess-pool. Ultimately, it either chokes up altogether, and the sewage escapes by leaky joint; or the deposit goes on accumulating, until the sectional-area is diminished to that proper for the flow, and a passage is maintained by it, permanently, or till some casual obstruction takes place.
24. A case once came under my notice, where the architect most certainly provided a house-drain of ample size to prevent it from becoming choked. It was six feet high, and four feet wide. It did not choke for upwards of a century; and might have gone on for another hundred years, but for an out-break of typhoid fever, in the house that it drained: and a consequent examination of the drains. It was found that this ample channel was full of black deposit, up to the crown of the arch. Along this however there was a narrow water-way, equivalent in section to a six-inch pipe, the size of pipe ultimately used to drain this large mansion (Spencer House).
25. Having thus described the principles, which should be observed in the design of a system of sewerage, not only for the High-level District but generally, I will now proceed to the examination of the plans, prepared by Mr. COOPER, for the sewerage of this district. I find that the design is in strict accordance with the principles laid down, in the previous paragraphs of this report, which were fixed before the examination of the plans was undertaken.
26. A main-sewer runs from along the northern or lower boundary of the Caine Road, Bonham Road, and conducts the sewage to an out-fall at Slaughter-House point. This position of the out-fall is the natural one, assuming that this district is to be kept separate, from those below it. It is the point to which the formation of the ground, conducts the effluent of the district.
27. Wherever the Praya sea-wall has its foundation in deep water, which is now the case from Kennedytown to Peddar's Wharf; and will be, even more so, when the Praya Reclamation is complete, there is no important reason which gives the preference to any one point, as an out-fall, over any other, provided always that the sewage is conducted out to a point well below low water-mark; and into a strong run of tide. Salient points are preferable to re-entering angles, on this account. It will be well to limit the number of out-falls, simply to reduce the cost of construction; and to con-

968 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
centrate the flow through them, so as to produce a brisk current, thus preventing deposit, either in the out-fall pipes or at their mouth. Fresh sewage is very rapidly assimilated by fish and crustacea, and as it will be delivered into from 10 to 30 feet of water, it will be so diluted as to produce no nuisance, certainly nothing comparable to that inevitably caused by the mass of craft which frequent the Praya. The proposed out-fall, therefore, is free from objection.
28. The sizes of the sewer-pipes, as proposed by Mr. COOPER, are certainly ample; and will suffice to convey, not only the sewage-proper but a considerable amount of rain-water also. Indeed I think it possible that it may prove desirable to reduce the diameter, in some instances at least. But on this point I cannot give an opinion until I have made the necessary calculations; a somewhat lengthy operation, which would have unduly delayed the submission of this
report, had I waited for their completion.
29. No hard-and-fast rule can be laid down as to the position of ventilating openings: each case should be decided on its merits. They should be as far from dwellings as practicable. The middle of the road should be avoided, and above all, they should be as inconspicuous as possible.
30. Mr. COOPER estimates the probable cost of the works for this district at $19,000. I am of opinion that this sum will amply suffice to cover the cost of the necessary works. For reasons already given in a previous report, I think it desirable that the two nullahs which bound inland lots Nos. 941 and 946 should be regulated, in the manner described in the said report. The cost of the work may be estimated at $6,000 making a total of $25,000.
31. Unless the Surveyor General requires the larger part of the sum of $50,000 already voted on account of E. V. 2 main-drainage and sanitary, the works may be commenced under authority of this vote, as soon as the necessary specifications and working-drawings can be prepared. I recommend, therefore, that authority be given to commence this work as soon as possible. I think it most important that some part of the Drainage Work should be in hand, before I leave the Colony. If an opportunity be thus afforded me of seeing work in progress, I shall be much better able to advise and direct future operations, as Consulting Engineer, from home, than if I merely left a set of plans and specifica- tions with the Resident Engineer.
32. I propose shortly to report to you on the drainage of a second section of the city, between the High-level District treated in this report, and the sea, and bounded eastward by the City Hall. Lastly, I propose to report on the drainage of the flat portion, to the eastward of the City Hall.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
To
The Honourable THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

Note on the evolution of gas by sewage.
Experiments made by the late Dr. LETHEBY on the generation of sewer-gas from sewage, show that a gallon of sewage containing 128-8 grains of organic matter, when excluded from the air, gave, in "nine weeks 12 cubic inches of gas per hour, consisting of 73-833 of marsh gas 15.899 10-187 of nitrogen, and 0.081, of sulphureted hydrogen." It is to be noted that this is the result of a laboratory experiment, and after decomposition has purposely been allowed to take place.
(BALDWIN LATHAM, Sanitary Engineering, page 325.)
The sewage of Hongkong will probably amount to about 3,000,000 gallons a day. If this were collected in a tank and kept till it was in a putrid condition, it would evolve according to Dr. LETHEBY's experiment, 50,000 cubic feet of gas per day or sufficient to fill a room 37′ x 37′ x 37.
:
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
969
The sewage will flow so rapidly through the sewer that each gallon of sewage will be in the sea within a few minutes of its leaving the house, say in twenty minutes as an extreme limit. Supposing that the people of Hongkong are so neglectful of their house-drains, that all the sewage enters the public sewer in a state of active putrefaction; then each gallon will evolve, in transitu, about 0'4 cubic inch of gas, or in all 700 cubic feet of gas per day, or sufficient to fill a 12"-pipe, for a length of about 90 feet.
It is to be hoped that the house-drains will not be neglected, but even if it were, the amount of real yas to be evolved from the sewerage in the public sewers would be trivial.

REPORT ON THE DRAINAGE OF THE LOWER WESTERN AND CENTRAL DISTRICT OF VICTORIA.
SIR,─The area the drainage of which, I now propose to discuss, is the zone between the Harbour and Caine Road, bounded to the west by Slaughter-house Point, and to the east by the Cricket Ground. Iti ncludes
District No. 1 Shek-tong Tsui
No. 2 Sai Ying-pun
31
No. 3 Taiping Shan
No. 4 Sheung Wan
"
No. 5 Chung Wan.
It therefore contains the bulk of the Chinese population.
2. In a previous report, it was recommended that the sewerage-system of the High-level District should be completely distinct from that of the lower districts.
The problem now to be solved is:-
(a.) The removal of the sewage from the lower zone, with the rain which falls upon it; to the sea.
(b.) The conveyance of storm-waters from the hill-sides above, through the district, to the sea.
3. The present arrangements for the sewage and storm-water of this district are practically those described in my report of 1882.
Briefly, the practice has been to cover in natural storm-water channels and connect to them branch-drains, conveying both sewage and storm-water. In many cases both main and lateral drains are in very bad condition.
4. In the report on the sewerage of the high level district the objections to the use of storm-water channels for the conveyance of sewage, were fully set forth. These objections apply with even greater force in the case of the low-level district, where, in many places, the storm-water channels are nearly level and accumulate, not only sewer-tainted air, but also sewage deposit.
5. The methods for the improvement of the drainage of this; and other districts, suggested in my report of 1882, have not been tried. This is fortunate, for my subsequent experience leads to the conclusion that they would not have remedied, completely, the evils which existed then; and which exist still.
6. As regards the construction of the branch-sewers no appreciable improvement has taken place. With a few exceptions, any extensions that have been carried out, have been made upon no definite principle. It will now be necessary
to re-sewer the whole district with earthenware pipes; and to divert the sewage proper, or dry-weather-flow of the sewers from the storm-water channels, which are not; and cannot be made suitable for its reception. The existing stone-channels therefore, should revert to their legitimate use, the conveyance of storm-water from the surface of the district, and from the hills above it.
7. The first question that must be discussed is the number and position of the sewer out-falls. Now the sea must be the ultimate receptacle for the sewage of Victoria. When the system of self-cleansing sewers is complete, the sewage will be delivered into the harbour fresh, before putrefaction has commenced, assuming always that the house-drains are in order. In this condition, sewage is comparatively inoffensive, and is readily consumed by marine organisms, great and small.
8. The following are the leading considerations, which rule the selection of position for sewer out-falls. The sewage should be delivered into water, not less than six feet deep, at extreme low water, and at point where there is an uninterrupted flow of tide; so that the effluent may be removed and diluted, as quickly as possible. For this reason, salient angles are preferable to re-entering as the position of out-falls.
9. The existing Praya affords a very considerable range of choice, as to the position of out-falls.
When the new reclamations are complete and the extraordinary irregularities in alignment, which disfigure the existing Praya, have disappeared; one position will be very nearly as good as another. Therefore there will be no necessity for constructing costly intercepting-sewers, to conduct the sewage to one or two great out-falls. Indeed, unless the sewage is wholly intercepted and carried, say, to an out-fall to Sulphur Channel, opposite Green Island, or to North Point; no appreciable benefit will result from its concentration, to any one out-fall. Such complete interception cannot be effected, unless a con- siderable portion of the sewage is pumped; for the strip of laud, between the Queen's Road and the Praya, is practically level; and no sewer, having a gradient sufficient to establish a self-cleansing velocity, could be constructed so as to convey the whole sewage, by gravity, to such a distant out-fall.
10. The complete interception of the sewage, from the harbour-frontage, would be exceedingly expensive, both as to first cost and maintenance. It would not effect any appreciable improvement in the sanitary condition of the city; nor, considering the mass of vessels which frequent the Praya, and the garbage which they throw overboard, would the amenity
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
971
of the place be increased. The Praya is not a promenade; nor is Victoria a bathing place. The cost of complete inter- ception cannot, therefore, be justified by any corresponding advantage, and should not, therefore, be incurred; until, at least, experience has demonstrated the inaccuracy of this conclusion.
11. Were the existing Praya the permanent sea-frontage of the city, it would be necessary to carry out the sewage out- falls by means of iron pipes, laid at the bottom of the sea into deep water, and to a distance of from 50 to 100 yards from the shore, so as to be clear of tiers of vessels which throng the wharf; and check the flow of the tide. But it has been decided that the Praya is to be advanced by about 280 feet, and the rubble-bank on which the new wall will stand will be in 15 to 30 feet of water. It is also intended that the wall itself shall be carried down, vertically, to a depth of about three feet below low-water-mark spring-tides. The rubble-bank will always be covered with water. The increased depth, the improved alignment of the new wall, together with the constriction of the waterway, caused by the advance of the Praya, will most probably produce an improvement in the tidal current, along its front. When the new works are complete, it will be sufficient to carry the out-fall, to the edge of the berm of rubble, on which the wall is founded, or so far beyond it as to reach a depth of six feet at low-water spring-tides. By using cast-iron pipes with ball-and-socket joints, a further ex- tension may at any time be made.
12. During the progress of the Reclamation Works, the sewage should be carried out to the new line of sea-wall, by means of temporary wooden shoots, supported on piles. In arranging the levels of the sewers, the position of the out-fall; and the level of the sewers, has been selected, in accordance with the proposed alignment of sea-wall.
13. The Harbour being accepted as the destination of the sewage, the only reasons, for limiting the number of out-falls, are to save cost in their construction; and to make sure that sufficient sewage will flow through each, to keep it clear of
deposit.
14. The invert of the main-sewers should be laid not lower than 2.75 feet above Ordnance-Datum, at the point where the sewer passes through the new Praya-wall. Now mean-sea-level is 3.69 feet above Ordnance-Datum; so that the invert of the sewer will be 0.94 below mean-sea-level. As the out-fall sewers will be not less than 1'6" in diameter; when the water in the harbour stands at mean-sea-level the middle of the sewer-pipe will be only about two inches under water. Now mean-sea-level means the average level of the sea, as obtained by adding together the height thereof recorded, every hour, for a whole year or more, and dividing by the number of observation. By thus fixing the centre-line of the main-sewer, at or near to mean-sea-level, it is certain that the pipe will be free from sea-water, for nearly one-half of every day, month or year, and that the sewage will flow freely through the sewer, and cleanse it from deposit.
15. It has to be remembered that the normal dry-weather flow of sewage, will only fill the sewer to a depth of perhaps one-fourth or one-third of its diameter. At high water, the sea rises above the top of the sewer, and fills it completely. The stream of sewage then occupies the whole area of the sewer, and its velocity is reduced; so that deposit may take place. If the sewer were laid lower, say at low-water spring-tides then it would only be free from sea-water, and thus in a position to establish a proper velocity, for a few hours each month; and thus the probability of deposit would be much greater.
16. A good example of the manner in which in the absence of special flushing arrangement, deposit accumulates in a channel, to which the tide has access, may be seen at the mouth of the Albany Nullah. This nullah, above the tidal action, keeps itself quite free from deposit, the stream, running down its centre, having ample velocity. But in the part to which the tide has access, this velocity is checked, when the tide is high, and deposit takes place, which the stream cannot remove, when the tide falls. Had the invert of this nullah been made higher, as it might have been; this deposit would not have
taken place.
17. The centre-line of the main-sewer at the face of the Praya-wall should, therefore, be at or near mean-sea-level. From the wall, the sewage should be carried out, to deep water, by a cast-iron pe, of smaller size than the sewer; the diameter of this pipe should be so calculated, that the ordinary dry-weather-flow of sewage will establish a sufficient current in it, to keep it clear of deposit. This pipe may be prolonged, to any desired distance, into the harbour. At the Praya-wall, a storm-overflow will be provided, which will allow the sewage to escape direct, in rainy weather, when the sewer brings down more water than the iron outlet-pipe can carry. When this takes place, the sewage will be so diluted with rain-water, that the direct escape will cause no inconvenience.
18. The level of the outlet, thus fixed, determines the distance at which the out-falls must be placed from each other. The main sewers must have a certain fall; and their upper extremities must be at a sufficient depth below the ground, to allow the house-drains to discharge into them.
19. It is further desirable that the sewage out-falls should not be in the immediate vicinity of the main storm-water outlets; especially those that discharge storm-water, from the hills, above the city. The silt which these storm-water channels bring down, will, in time, form deltas at their mouths, which will have to be removed by dredging. The cast-iron outlet-pipes will impede this operation; or be liable to injury in its execution. It is desirable also to keep the delta of silt and sand, free from sewage contamination.
972
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
20. In accordance with these principles, six out-falls have been selected, in the following positions :-----
1. Opposite Queen Victoria Street,
2.
Hillier Street,
3.
**
Wing Lok Street,
4.
"
Eastern Street,
5.
"
Western Street,
6. at Slaughter-house Point.
21. In the present condition of the Praya, the position of the out-fall opposite Hillier Street, in a bay, is not all that could be desired. The Praya Reclamation will, however, remedy any defect in this respect; and after careful examination, it has been found impracticable to drain the whole of the flat district, near Bonham Strand, to the Wing Lok Street out-fall, without the use of gradients so flat as to endanger the self-cleansing properties of the main sewer; and thus give rise to evils far greater than any that can be caused by the out-fall, even were it to remain as it is at present.
22. The area draining to the several out-falls is shewn by the coloured lines on the plan. In the arrangement of the tributary-sewers, care has been taken to concentrate the sewage flow of each district, in the upper ends of the intercepting sewers, along the Praya, which have, necessarily, flat gradients; compared with those in the upper parts of the town. This will ensure a sufficient flow through them, whenever the tide is down, to set up a self-cleansing velocity through them; and thus obviate, to a great extent, if not altogether, the necessity for artificial flushing.
23. The sewers, even in the level parts, will have gradients sufficient to establish self-cleansing velocities, with the normal flow of sewage that may fairly be counted upon. The dry-weather flow of the nullahs which traverse the town may be used to augment the volume of the sewage. It may therefore be anticipated that very little artificial flushing will be required, though provision for so doing, if necessary, will be made.
24. The natural gradients of the tributary-sewers are, in almost every case, more than sufficient to establish self-cleansing velocities; with the normal flow of sewage. To ensure proper cleansing, however, it will be well to establish, at the heads of some of the branch-sewers, where the flow of sewage is small, automatic flush-tanks. These consist of a tank, contain- ing from 30 to 100 gallons, according to circumstances; and provided with a specially-constructed syphon, which, when the contents of the tank reach a certain level, comes into action, and discharges the same, in a sudden rush. These automatic flush-tanks may be conveniently erected, in connection with the public fountains, receiving the waste-water and slops from them. In this way, water, that would otherwise be wasted, will be used to cleanse the branch-sewers, without any additional demand on the water-works.
25. The size of the main sewers is sufficient to discharge about one inch rain in 24 hours, falling on the district, which drains to each.
26. With the exception of a few short branches, the minimum size of street sewer will be nine inches. As regards the conveyance of sewage only, a much smaller diameter would suffice. Experience has shewn, however, that long street- sewers, less than 9" in diameter, are inconveniently liable to casual obstruction. Moreover the rain-water from back-yards, and in some cases from the roofs of houses, must be admitted to house-drains, and thence to the branch-sewers. The excessive capacity which the use of 9" branch-sewers affords, will allow them to carry off the rain-fall, which must be admitted to the house-drains. But, at or near the points where the branch-sewers join the principal collecting sewers, storm-overflows will be provided, by which any water brought down by the branches, over and above the quantity which the collectors can carry, will escape to the storm-water channel. So, when the secondary collectors join the main-sewers, other storm-overflows will be provided. By these means, the main trunk may have a carrying capacity much less than the sum of those of the branches, and the evils attending large sewers may be avoided. In short, the system at its commence- ment, will be "combined," receiving both rain water and sewage, in the course of the collecting and out-fall sewers, more and more of the rain-water will escape by storm-overflows; till the iron outlet-pipe will carry the dry-weather sewage only. 27. The sewers will be provided with man-holes, at all junctions and changes of direction; so that there will be com- plete access to the sewer, for the purpose of inspection; and for the removal of casual obstructions.
28. In a report on the sewerage of the High-level District the principles of sewer-ventilation have been fully discussed. The same principles apply to the lower district also. Whenever practicable, it will be well to carry up ventilating pipes, above the roofs of the houses, care being taken that these clevated ventilators are as inconspicuous as possible. It must always be remembered that the real remedy for stenches from ventilating openings consists in self-cleansing sewers, good honse-drainage, properly used, with a liberal water-supply; and not any elaborate or complicated system of ventilation.
29. The existing storm-water channels should be utilised, to the fullest extent, for carrying off rain-water. It is pro- bable that the greater number of these will require little more than the usual repairs.
30. In the lower parts of the town, however, the storm-water channels will, in many cases, require renewal; on account of the new Praya works. When this is the case, care must be taken to raise the invert of the channel to the highest praticable level, consistent with sufficient discharging capacity. The object of raising the invert is two-fold; firstly to give a good gradient across the new reclamation, and secondly to make the outlet as high as possible, so that the storm- water channel may be free from tide-water, for as long a daily period as possible. This is desirable, for the reasons set forth, when discussing the questions of sewer-outlets. An elevated invert also facilitates construction, at it increases the

time that the foundation is uncovered by the tide. To give the necessary sectional area, to the storm-water channels, they should be made wider and shallower than has, hitherto, been usual. To this end also, the covering of the channel will be most conveniently made flat, of concrete supported on iron girders; or iron or steel trough-plates; the concrete forming the road-way.
31. A storm-water channel, on this principle, is now under construction in Jubilee Street, the covering being carried on old rails, returned from Tytam Works. The reconstruction of this channel was undertaken, because the old one ran under the site of the Central Market.
32. It will be well, in order to save expense, to reduce the number of storm-water channels, which cross the reclamation, to the minimum, consistent with sufficient discharging-capacity. The construction of the proposed sewers will allow of the abandonment of many of the minor outlets, which now exist along the Praya; and which serve as out-falls, for both sewage and rain-water. The sewage will be intercepted by the proposed sewer, which will have sufficient capacity to carry the rain-water, to the nearest storm-overflow, where it will escape to the storm-water channel.
33. It will be well to keep the cost of altering or reconstructing the storm-water drains separate from that of the sewerage-system proper. Minor alterations and repairs may be, legitimately, charged to the usual vote-Main Drainage and Sanitary; whilst alterations, on account of the new Praya Reclamation, will be properly charged to that undertaking.
34. Inasmuch as dirty water is often thrown into the side-channels of the streets; and the rain-water which flows down them, at the commencement of showers, is little better than sewage, trapped gulleys should be provided in them, in connec- tion with the sewers, in addition to the ordinary gulleys, communicating with the storm-water channels.
35. When the proposed works are complete, there will be no objection to the use of water-closets, by those who desire to do so provided always, that proper appliances for flushing are used in connection with them. The introduction of water- closets will be a great boon to the European community; for, as the prosperity of the community increases, there will be more and more difficulty in having hand-removal properly carried out.
36. I do not contemplate the introduction of the water-carriage system, universally, as I do not consider that the popu- lation generally is ready for it; notwithstanding its superiority to any other. In Hongkong, moreover, the facilities for complete and efficient hand-removal, which exist in China, do not exist; as there is no extensive area of agricultural land, in the vicinity of the town. If water-closets are largely introduced in European houses, their use may spread to the Chinese also. If such a tendency does shew itself, it should not be resisted.
37. Were this the case, complete diversion of the sewage might perhaps become desirable. In the preparation of the present project, regard has been had to the possibility of meeting such a demand. The proposed arrangements are such that this could be effected, without material alteration of the general project.
38. It is unnecessary to go into the details of the arrangements, for complete interception. The most convenient and economical means of doing this will be to lay a cast-iron pipe along Queen's Road and Praya, working under pressure; with branches, carried up the side-streets, to intercept the sewage, at sufficient elevation to carry it, by gravity, to the desired out- fall. The sewage of the district below, this elevation, must be pumped into this main. The pumping could be effected by hydraulic motors, established at the proposed out-falls, worked by water from the water-works, or by water under still higher pressure, supplied from some central pumping station, and which would also be available for working Hydraulic cranes.
39. The estimated cost of the sewerage of the district, now under consideration, is as follows :-
31,454 yards of sewer varying from 21′ to 6′′ diameter principally 9′′, Man-holes, ventilators, street gulleys; and syphons for crossing the storm-water channels, .. Flushing tanks, &c.,
Out-falls,.

Total,
$105,094.65
32,012.00
5,000.00
3,000.00
.$145,106.65
40. This sum does not include the cost of making connections to house-drains; as this is, for the present, done by the house-holders. It is most desirable that the actual connection should be made, and the trap fixed, by the Drainage Depart- ment. The discussion of this question, however, involves the consideration of the whole subject of House-drainage, which is so important that it will be dealt with in a separate report.
41. The works described in this report may be completed in three years, from date of order to commence. Pipes, etc. are in stock, to the value of about $50,000, which will be available for the work.

REPORT ON THE DRAINAGE OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VICTORIA
With a brief summary of recommendation made in the same, and in previous Reports on the subject of
Water-supply and Sewerage.
1. In this report the sewerage of the Eastern District will be discussed; and a recapitulation will be given of the propositions made in this and previous reports on sewerage.
2. The Eastern District, for the purposes of this report, comprises the strip of land between the hills and the harbour. It is bounded on the west by the Glenealy Nullah and on the east by Causeway Bay. The principle inhabited area is practically level. The only dwellings on high-ground are barracks, hospitals, and a few high-class tenements. The bulk of the population resides on the low flat ground.
3. The principles as to self-cleansing sewers, admission of rain-fall and ventilation, which have been laid down in previous reports, apply to this district with equal force. The main question to be decided is the number and position of the out-falls; and whether the sewage is to be discharged into the harbour, in front of the district, or whether it is to be con- veyed to some point outside it.
4. The out-fall question depends, to a considerable extent, on the future of the sea-frontage of this district; whether its area is to be extended by reclamation or not. The present frontage forms a bay, with shallow water for a considerable distance from the Praya wall. A wide strip of foreshore is exposed, at low tides which is very foul. It is possible, that on the completion of the New Praya Reclamation, the' tidal current may be altered in direction, so that silting-up may take place, with greater rapidity than heretofore, and that the deposit on the foreshore may become more offensive than at present. It seems probable that the reclamation of this foreshore will, in time, become an imperative necessity. The topographical conditions are favourable to economical reclamation. In framing a scheme for the sewerage of this district, the possibility of reclamation, must not be lost sight of.
5. The frontage of the foreshore, for the whole length of the district presents no really satisfactory position for an out-fall. The least objectionable point, as regards the hydrographical features of the harbour, would be the frontage of the property of Messrs. JARDINE, MATHESON & Co., near the sugar works, and opposite Kellett's Island. A strong tidal current passes through the channel, between the island and the Sugar Refinery wharf, and would rapidly remove the sewage from the immediate neighbourhood of the out-fall. But whether, after proceeding a short distance, the sewage would not accumulate in the shallow bays which exist, on both sides of the promontory, on which the Sugar Refinery stands, is a point which can only be decided by prolonged float observations. There are, however, many other objections to this point as a general out-let for the whole district. It is private property, and the proposition to place there the general out-fall for a whole district, would doubtless meet with strong opposition.
6. The inhabited area of the Eastern District is so nearly level that it is impracticable to concentrate the sewage, by self-cleansing sewers, at any point within its frontage, without pumping. If pumping be adopted, it would be unwise to fix the out-fall in a position, so open to objection, as that at East Point. A relatively small additional expense would convey the sewage to North Point; which, as an out-fall, leaves little to desire.
7. If the foreshore, in front of this district, were reclaimed to a line joining, with a sweeping curve, the eastern extremity of the Praya Extension, now in progress, with East Point; the Praya wall thus formed would be in relatively deep water, and would form an unobjectionable position for direct out-falls. On account of the increased extent of flat land that must drain to each: these out-falls must be more numerous than if the present district alone were dealt with. To provide, in the present scheme, for a future extension of area, more out-falls must be provided and their inverts must be placed at a higher level than if the existing district only were to be treated, without regard to the future.
8. Considering the uncertainty, as to the future condition of the foreshore, the best plau will be to provide for the strict requirements of the existing area only, with the minimum number of out-lets. If reclamation is made, then it will be quite practicable to carry the sewage across it in pipes of small diameter, working under pressure, or as syphons; a separate set of sewers and out-falls being provided for the newly reclaimed land: or the whole sewage may be intercepted: and pumped to North Point.
9. The project, now submitted, is designed on this principle. It is proposed to discharge the sewage, by a number of out-falls, carried out below low-water mark, into the harbour in front of the district. If the sewage be carried out to a suit- able distance, and discharged below low-water mark, it is certain that any nuisance which now arises from the state of the foreshore, will be abated, if not altogether remedied.
10. For the reasons given in a previous report, on the sewerage of the Central and Western Districts, the invert-level of the out-falls should be 2·75 above OD. Their number and position should be determined by the level and extent of the area draining to ench, and should be such as to give good self-cleansing gradient to the sewers, throughout the area contributing to each. One position being practically as good or as bad as the other, these conditions suffice to determine the question.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890. 975
The whole of the sewage of this district now goes direct, into this bay or rather, all sewage that does not percolate into the subsoil, beneath the dwellings, which forms, it is to be feared, a very cor si lerable proportion of the whole.
The object of the present scheme is to discharge the sewage, into relatively deep water, at a distance of one hundred feet or more, in advance of the existing Praya wall.
11. In accordance with these principles six cut-falls have been selected.

12. There is already the out-fall of a public sewer on the frontage of the East Point property. It is understood that the Government has the right to construct drains through this property. If it be decided to adopt numerous out-falls, on the foreshore of the district, one of these, discharging the sewage of the immediately adjacent property, should pass through the East Point property. The actual line of the out-fall is of little moment, and might be arranged to suit the convenience of the owners. It may be safely asserted that an out-fall on the face of this property, would be of a lesser nuisance to them. than an out-fall on the shallow bay, on either side of their property.
13. From each of these out-falls, a pipe of a diameter sufficient to carry off the dry-weather flow of the sewage, should ?be laid, across the foreshore, and terminate at a depth of 2 feet below low-water spring-tides. This is a lesser depth than was recommended in the case of the out-falls of the Eastern and Central Districts but on the other hand the distance from the Praya wall is greater, so that in all probability no nuisance will occur in either case. At each out-fall, there should be a storm over-flow, to carry off the surplus, when the flow of the sewers, swelled by rain, is in excess of these the amount that the cast-iron out-fall pipe will carry.
14. The proposed main and branch-sewers will carry off about 1" of rain in 24 hours falling on the whole surface. By
no means the whole of the surface of the district will be in connection with the sewers. All the existing appliances, for removing rain-water, will continue in operation, and storm over-flows to them will be provided, so that there will be no danger of flooding.
15. The proposed lines of sewers are shewn on the plans, and do not call for special description.
16. To effect the interception of the sewage proper, from the harbour frontage of this district, it must be concentrated at some point, whence it must be raised by pumping, to a height sufficient to permit of its free discharge to the sea, at any state of the tide.
17. The float experiments, made by Mr. COOPER, shew that North Point is the nearest satisfactory position for an out- fall.
Now the frontage of the Eastern district, from the westernmost direct out-fall, to the eastern boundary, is about 4,000 feet, whilst from the latter point to the out-fall at North Point is 5,000 feet; 9,000 feet in all.
To concentrate the whole sewage at a pumping station at North Point, a sewer 9,000 feet long would have to be con- structed. At its western extremity, the intercepting-sewer must be sufficiently low to receive the sewage of the most distant direct out-fall sewer. Its invert must therefore be at or about 2·00 on Ordnance Datum; or at the level of about low-water springs (3·7 OD.=Mean Sea). In order to obtain a self-cleansing velocity, this sewer should have a gradient of at least o or a total fall of 15 feet. At its out-let at the pumping station, the level of the invert sewer must be-13 below datum or 167 under mean-sea-level. The ground-level being about+11'OD., the invert at the level-13, would be 24 feet below ground. The construction of a large sewer, at such a depth, would be a costly operation. Being only partially filled, such a sewer would contain a large volume of sewage-tainted air, and must therefore be thoroughly ventilated. However well managed, occasional nuisances might be anticipated from it.
-
18. The pumping station might be placed at or near to the eastern limit of the district, and the sewage forced thence to the out-fall, through a cast-iron pipe. This would reduce the length of the low level sewer to 4,000 feet; and the maximum depth to 4.66 below ordnance datum or about 15 feet under ground. The construction of a sewer, at this depth, would be a less formidable operation than in the case of the longer length, but still it would be costly. There is not a single contractor in the Colony that has had experience of such work, and from what I have seen, it appears that Chinese contractors have little knowledge of the proper manner of conducting deep cuttings; or of the use of timber, for supporting the sides of trenches. As the greater part of the sewer would be below low-water mark, it may be reasonably anticipated that water would be met with, in considerable quantities, which would have to be pumped out, in order to allow of the proper construction of the
sewer.
976
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
The low level sewer must be constructed with great care. It must be thoroughly water-tight. The whole flow having to be pumped out, the sewage proper should not be augmented, by infiltration from the subsoil. Indeed, I believe that such work could only be executed rapidly and economically, by departmental work, and that a large European staff, perhaps even European workmen, would be required for the purpose.
19. It will therefore be most desirable to avoid the construction of the low level sewer. This may be done in several ways. Instead of concentrating the pumping machinery at one point, pumps may be erected at each of the direct out-falls, raising the sewage into a high level out-fall, which may be of cast-iron. Or, the pumps may pump, from one to the other, till the final station; whence it could be forced to the out-fall by a more powerful pump.
It would not be necessary to have a separate steam-engine, at each separate station.
20. Appliances are available whereby the scattered pumping apparatus may be worked by power, provided at a central station, and distributed by means of water under high pressure, compressed air, or by air under reduced pressure. In either of these systems the apparatus is so arranged as to regulate the rate of pumping, automatically, to the rate of sewage-flow, so that the constant presence of an attendant at each station is not required.
21. A system of pumping in detail is quite feasible, but in the present case, the desired end may be attained directly; by the use of a long cast-iron syphon, with several branches. Though the principle of the syphon has been known from remote antiquity, it has not been applied extensively in sewerage works. The difficulty which has hitherto attended its use is that a syphon must be "charged," that is, completely filled with water, before it will work. If the syphon discharges the water more rapidly than the rate of supply, the water in the inlet reservoir falls below the level of the ascending leg, and the air enters, and the syphon must be recharged before it will again work.
This difficulty may, however, be obviated in a very simple manner. It is only necessary to prolong the inlet or ascending-leg downwards, below the level of the out-let of the descending leg, and to turn the latter up, at its discharging orifice.
This done, if the water is removed more rapidly from the receiving well or reservoir than delivered by the syphon, it simply ceases to work, but no air can enter; because the level of the water in the collecting or inlet-wells cannot fall below the level of the upturned out-let, at the receiving-well; and at this level, the mouths of the ascending legs, will be under water. The syphon therefore remains in a condition to work again, as soon as the supply increases. It therefore regulates its rate of working according to the work to be done. The attendant at the pump, which removes the sewage from the receiving well, has only to regulate the rate of pumping so as to keep the surface of the sewage, at some desired level. The syphon will bring it to him as it comes from the town; and even if he were to lower the level, below the upturned lip of the descending-leg, no evil result would take place. This simple arrangement has been adopted by Colonel WARING at Norfolk Va. U.S.A. with complete success.
22. To apply the syphon to the present case; it would be necessary to sink wells, at or near to each of the direct out-falls. The bottoms of these wells should be closed water-tight, with concrete, at a level of about · 16 OD., or about 27 feet below the Praya level. The diameter of these wells will be no larger than is necessary for convenient construction; indeed, cast-iron cylinders 3′ 0′′ diameter might be usel, if this method of construction is economical. These wells will receive the sewage from the collecting sewers; and must be perfectly water-tight.
23. The syphon would consist of a cast-iron pipe, laid along the Praya, about 3′ 6′′ under ground, and laid and jointed, after the manner of gas or water pipes, the only difference being that regular gradients must be established, with definite summits at some point or points. The diameter of this pipe should be six inches at its western extremity then twelve inches, and lastly fifteen inches. At each of the collecting-wells, five in number, a branch-pipe should be carried down from the syphon, to the bottom of the wells. These will form the ascending legs of the syphons, and their openings would be at or about 14:5 OD. but all at the same level exactly. The branches will be provided with sluice valves, whereby they may be shut off from the main-pipe if required.
─
24. At the pumping-station, a larger well should be constructed, having its bottom at the same level as that of the collecting wells. The syphon-pipe would be prolonged downwards to the bottom of the well, to form the descending-leg of the syphon, and its end would be turned upwards, bringing the orifice to about - 140 OD., or six inches above the inlets to the ascending branches. The pumping-well would contain the suction-pipes of the pumps, which are to raise the sewage
and force it to its out-fall.
25. The syphon would be charged, in the first instance, by filling up the wells, above the level of the horizontal pipe. When the air is completely expelled through cocks provided for the purpose, these cocks would be closed and the pump set
to work.
The water in the pump-well will be lowered and the syphon will draw from the collecting wells and deliver into the pump-well. The water may rise in the collecting-wells to + 2 on datum, or indeed to + 5.36 at times. The level of the out-let of the descending branch is 15; consequently there will be a head to drive the sewage through the ripe, of 17 or 20 feet as the case may bo. I the pump removes the sewage more quickly than it comes in, all that can happen is that the water in the receiving-well will be lowered below the inlet to the pump, but the upturned leg of the syphon will prevent the entry of air.
977
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
26. The engine-driver would have to regulate the speed of his engines so as to keep the surface of the sewage in the pump-well, at some definite level. Then the syphon would bring it to the pump, as fast as it flows from the sewers to the receiving-wells, in which the sewage will rise to the height necessary to force it through the syphon.
27. A syphon, of the proposed dimeusions, would deliver 1,000 gallons a minute or 1,440,000 gallons a day. But, as the maximum daily rate of flow of sewage is about twice the average rate, the syphon would be able to discharge 720,000 gallons of sewage in 24 hours; or at the rate of 12 gallons per head on a population of 60,000. The probable sewage flow of the district is estimated at the rate of about 360,000 gallons a day, whereas the syphon can discharge at the rate of 1,440,000 gallons in that time. There is therefore a margin of 1,080,000 gallons in 24 hours, to provide for rain-fall. The contributing area is 10,900,000 square feet, and therefore the syphon is capable of discharging about " of rain in 24 hours. But a very considerable part of the contributing area consists of gardens, and other uninhabited places, the rain falling ou which will flow to storm-water channels. The intercepting syphon, therefore, will be capable of removing a much larger
amount from the true urban area.
28. At each receiving-well there would be a storm over-flow, arranged as in the Central and Western Districts, with its edge at the level of 5'7; or high-water ordinary spring-tides. The sea water would be excluded from the wells and syphons, except for a short time, at high spring-tides. When the tide is above the storm over-flow, it would be the moment for flushing the syphon. The engines would then be worked to their full power, and the various branches will be shut and re-opened, in succession, so as to cause a strong current through the whole syphon. Sluices should also be provided for admitting sea water, at any time.
29. An iron basket should be suspended in the receiving-wells, under the mouth of the sewer, to catch any solids which might choke the syphon or interfere with the pumps. A 1 inch wrought-iron pipe, connected with the water-mains, might be carried down to the bottom of the well. From time to time, the water might be turned on, and the issuing jet would act as an agitator, and stir up any sediment at the bottom of the well.
The mouth of the receiving-wells might be closed with a cast-iron cover, so that there will be no effluvium from them; and obviously, no effluvium can escape from the cast-iron pipe.
30. As some bubbles of air may be carried into the syphon by the sewage falling down the receiving-wells, which, in the course of time, might accumulate to an extent sufficient to reduce the carrying capacity of the syphon, it will be well to provide at summits the means of exhausting the air. This may be done by ejectors, worked from time to time, by water
from the water-mains.
31. From the pumping station to the out-fall at North Point, the sewage would be carried, in an ordinary cast-iron main, 15" in diameter. To overcome the friction of this main, a head of about 10 feet will be required, and the sewage must be delivered at the level of high-water extreme springs; or + 7·18. The height to which the sewage must be raised at the engine-house will be 7·18 + 10′0? + 17·18 OD., and it will have to be pumped from a depth of 15 OD., or to a height of 33 feet in all. The maximum quantity to be raised per minute being 1,000 gallons the requisite nett H.P. will be 1,000 × 10 × 32
10 H.P. nearly. Allowing 20% for friction, this becomes 12 H.P. 33,000
32. The details of the steam-engines need not at present be discussed. It would be well to provide one compound condensing pumping engine of 12 H.P., constructed in the most complete manner, with regard to fuel economy, and two steam pumps, of the simplest type; and of a slightly larger capacity. The compound engine would do the ordinary daily work, and the simple engines would serve as stand-by engines, to replace the compound when stopped for repairs: or to assist it when flushing or during rain.
33. One or other of these engines would work night and day, as there is no storage for the sewage at night. To construct the necessary storage-reservoir, which must have a capacity of at least 500,000 gallons, would be very costly. Such a reservoir would be very apt to create a nuisance, for it could never be cleaned out thoroughly; and the putrifying matter, adhering to its walls, would promote fermentation in the sewage. No nuisance need be anticipated from the proposed receiving well; as it would be ventilated to the ash-pit of the boilers: so that all effluvia will pass through the boiler-fire.
34. It will be well to consider whether the water of the Mint Dam might not, after the completion of the water-mains, be used to work a hydraulic motor, during the night at least, and thus obviate the necessity for keeping steam up night and day.
.$ 42,500.00
35. The probable cost of the proposed sewage works, for the Eastern District may be estimated as follows:-

..$2,971.00
37. If the Eastern District were extended by reclamation, the sewers of the new area would drain backwards from the new Praya to the receiving-wells in the old Praya. These sewers would also serve as storm-overflows. The syphon system offers great facilities for future extension. If, at any time, the proposed syphon were found to be too small for its work, it will only be necessary to lay a new pipe, a much easier operation than the construction of a low-level sewer.
38. The direct out-falls, though by no means a perfect method of disposing of the sewage of this district, will undoubtedly be a great improvement on the present state of affairs, in which the sewage is discharged, directly through the Praya wall, on to the foreshore at low-water, and into the slack water, in front of the wall, at high tide. But, even if the sewage were carried out to beyond low-water mark, some portion thereof would work inwards on to the foreshore, on the flood tide; and during northerly winds; and from deposit in the shallow water. This would create a nuisance, though a lesser one than that which exists at present, and it would scarcely constitute a danger to health. This nuisance can be completely removed by interception in manner described, for a capital expenditure of $70,000 added to an annual expenditure of about $3,000 representing, at 5 %, a capital of $60,000. I leave it to Government to decide whether the benefit to be derived, justifies this expenditure. The intercepting syphon can be constructed at any time, without material alteration of the direct out-fall system; but it will be somewhat more economical to carry out the whole at the same time.
?
39. Having now completed the discussion of the sewerage system of Victoria, I will now briefly recapitulate the recommendations made; and the arrangements proposed, for carrying them into effect.
40. The whole of the city should be sewered with pipe sewers of small diameter.
41. The dry-weather flow of the sewers, or sewage proper, should be wholly intercepted from the storm-water channels, which are not, and cannot be made fit for its reception and conveyance. The sewage should only gain access to the storm- water channels, when so freely diluted with rain, as to loose the character of sewage.
42. Rain-water should be excluded from the sewerage system, as far as possible. Rain from back-yards and from some portions of the roofs, must be admitted to the house-drains, and carried by them to the street sewers. These, however, should not be specially enlarged to provide for the rain-fall, but they should be freely furnished with storm over-flows; whereby any excess of flow, over and above their carrying capacity, will escape to the storm-water channels, and thus prevent all danger of flooding private property.
43. The sewers, both great and small, must have self-cleansing gradients: that is to say the normal flow of sewage must sweep them clear of deposit.
44. In the Western and Central District, unless the whole sewage is removed entirely from the harbour frontage of the city, nothing will be gained by its concentration at any one out-fall. When the Praya Reclamation is finished, the whole frontage will be equally good, as a position for out-falls, and the increased depth of water and improved tidal current, will prevent any nuisance from them. This being the case, it is only necessary to place the out-falls sufficiently near together to allow of self-cleansing gradients: but each out-fall must drain an area sufficiently large to supply the quantity of sewage which will fill it to the depth that will establish a self-cleansing velocity.
45. The level of the sewers at the out-fall should be little below mean-sea-level: so that, for half of each day, the sewage may sweep freely through them.
46. The Eastern District offers no really favourable sites for out-falls. The nuisance which now arises from the out-falls may be abated, very considerably; by carrying out cast-iron pipes below low-water mark; so much so that the improved out-falls will no longer be sources of danger to health.
47. The sewage can easily be intercepted from the foreshore of the Eastern District, but to do so pumping will be required. The best out-fall in this case will be North Point.
48. The sewage of the Western and Central District, as well of that of the Upper District could be conveyed to an out-fall at Sulphur Channel. But to do so, at least one-third of the sewage would have to be pumped. The works for this purpose would be costly, and it is more than doubtful whether the advantages derived, would justify the expenditure.
49. The sewerage system of the Upper District, mainly inhabited by Europeans, should be wholly independent of the Lower Districts.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 1890.
50. The probable cost of the sewerage works will be as follows:-
Sewerage of Upper District, inclusive of regulation of certain nullahs,.
Sewerage of Western and Central Districts,............
Sewerage of Eastern District,
Intercepting syphon, wells, pumps, engines, and pumping-main for Western District,
979
..$ 25,000.00
145,000.00
42,500.00
70,000.00
Total,.
.$282,500.00
51. In addition to this, a certain expenditure on altering and renewing storm-water channels must be incurred. In some cases, this will be chargeable to the Praya Reclamation Works; in other it must form the subject of special report, estimate and vote. I have not had time to examine these storm-water channels, in detail. To do so, it will be necessary,
in many cases, to open them up. This will have to be done when the sewerage work is in hand, and it would add to the cost and to the inconvenience to the public, to open these channels up, merely for the purpose of inspection, close them again and finally re-open, when the work is in hand.
52. The sewerage work is to be carried out by the department, entrusted with the completion of the water-works; and it will therefore be desirable to provide the necessary funds for both works, at the same time, and in the same manner.
53. The funds to be provided are as follows:-
Estimated cost of completing the water-works,.
Estimated cost of sewerage, say,
Funds provided in this year's Estimates--
New Water-mains,
Main Drainage and Sanitary,
.$200,000
300,000
$500,000
..$80,000
50,000
130,000
$370,000
but of the vote Main Drainage and Sanitary, the following sums have been spent or are to be spent on works not included in this report:-
By the Surveyor General's principally for Peak wells, about
.$ 2,000
By Water and Drainage Department, principally on Peak Drainage,..
4,000
The Jubilee Street storm-water channel commenced on account of the New Central Market,
6,000
$12,000
leaving therefore available for use this year $128,000.
Consequently the sum to be provided is $172,000.
54. In addition to the water and drainage works, designed and estimated, numerous other works, which have not been designed and estimated, will be required to complete the sanitation of Hongkong.-These are:-
Drainage of Villages, principally those in the Kowloon Peninsula.
Water-supply of Kowloon Peninsula.
Alterations to storm water-channels.
Extension of Peak out-fall sewers, and provision of some means of sewage disposal. Water-supply of Aberdeen.
Also meters and sundry for Water-works.
The Kowloon water-supply has been roughly estimated at $180,000.
55. It seems probable therefore that the expenditure of a sum not less than $750,000 will have to be expended on water-supply, drainage and sanitation, during a period of, say, five years.
56. The proposed works are of a permanent character, and should be pushed on to completion, as rapidly as possible. The funds might be borrowed, as required; and repaid with interest by equal annual instalments in, say, 21 years. Assuming the expenditure to be $750,000, and that the money could be raised at 4% then the annual instalment will be $53,460.
The annual rateable value of Victoria is about $2,881,460. So that a rate of less than 2% would pay off the loan in
21 years, whilst a rate of over 5% would be required to provide the funds in 5 years.
57. I would suggest, therefore, that a loan be raised, as required, and that the accounts of the Water and Drainage Department be kept quite distinct from the general accounts of the Colony. An annual report and balance sheet should be submitted to Government, by the Head of the Department.

58. The various reports, of which this is the concluding one, describe a system of sewers, providing the means of remov- ing the sewage of the city, without stagnation, to the sea. But, in order that the cycle may be complete, the house-drains must be in a condition to carry the sewage, as it is formed, to the street sewers. Unless the house-drains are in good order, and properly used, the expenditure on street sewers, if not entirely thrown away, will fail to produce the full benefit to the public health, that might otherwise be expected, as the result of these costly works. It is therefore to be hoped that the Government and the Sanitary Board will exercise their full legal powers, in insisting on improvement in house-drainage, and that the public will support the efforts of these authorities.
59. In conclusion, I beg to record my obligation to Mr. COOPER for the cordial assistance which he has afforded me in the preparation of these projects. This assistance was principally given, whilst he was already fully occupied with his duties as Assistant Surveyor General. We have discussed together every essential feature of these projects and are of one mind, on every point of importance; so much so indeed that the documents submitted, may be fairly looked upon as joint reports.
60. The most essential difference between the project now submitted, and that prepared by Mr. COOPER is in the number and position of the out-falls. But at the time of the preparation of Mr. COOPER's report the Praya Reclamation was not projected. He afterwards submitted an alternative project.
61. I have the honour therefore to recommend that Mr. COOPER's original reports be published with this and the other reports, both on water-supply and drainage, which I have had the honour to submit to you. This will be fair to Mr. COOPER, and will be of great advantage to the public, as his reports contain much valuable information, on various points connected with the subject; which has been of great assistance to me in the preparation of these projects.

MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT, 1890.
981
Under sections 26 and 27 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876 it is provided that every British ship shall have marked on each of her sides amidships a circular disc, twelve inches in diameter, with a horizontal line, eighteen inches in length, drawn through its centre, "the centre of the disc to indicate the maximum load line in salt water to which the owner Sub-sec (2.)- intends to load the ship."
A statement, in writing, of the distance, in feet and inches, between the centre of the disc and the upper edge of each of the lines indicating the position of the ship's decks which is above that centre is required to be handed to the Collector or other Principal Officer of Customs, and the Master of the ship is required to enter a copy of the statement in the Agreement with the crew and also in the official Log Book.
Under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1890, an alteration has been made in the require- ments of sub-section 2 of section 26 and 27 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, the sub- section now reading as follows, viz:-
(2)
"The centre of this disc shall be placed at such level below the deck line "marked under the provisions of this Act as may be approved by the Board of "Trade, and shall indicate the maximum load line in salt water to which it "shall be lawful to load the ship.'
""
Provided that the position of the disc shall be fixed in accordance with the Tables framed by the Load Line Committee in 1885, subject to certain conditions set forth in section 1 of the Act in question.
Under section 2 of the Act in question, the Board of Trade are empowered to appoint the Committee of Lloyd's Register, or, at the option of the owner of the ship, any other Corporation or Association for the survey or registry of shipping approved by the Board of Trade, &c., to approve and certify on their behalf from time to time the position of such disc as aforesaid and any alteration thereof.
Since the report of the Load Line Committee in 1885, Load Lines in accordance with the Tables in that report have been assigned to a considerable number of British Ships by the Committee of Lloyds. The Board of Trade have not as yet, authorised the assignment of freeboards by any other Association or Corporation, nor have any regulations, as yet, been issued as to the form of dise or discs to be used, or the manner in which the require- ments of sub-section 2 of section 2 are to be carried out.
A
copy of the Report and Tables of the Load Line Committee is also attached.
CHAPTER 9.
B
An Act to amend the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to Load-line.
[9th June 1890.]
E it 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:
A. D. 1890.
of load-line.
1. The Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, shall, from and after the expiration of six Compulsory marking months after the passing of this Act, be construed as if in the twenty-sixth and twenty- seventh sections thereof the following sub-section were inserted instead of the sub- sections numbered (2) in those sections respectively:
(6
(2.) The centre of this disc shall be placed at such level below the deck-line marked under the provisions of this Act as may be approved by the Board of Trade, and shall indicate the maximum load-line in salt water to which it shall be lawful to load the ship."
Provided that the position of the disc shall be fixed in accordance with the tables framed by the Load Line Committee appointed before the passing of this Act, subject to such allowance as may be made necessary by any difference between the position of
the deck-line marked under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, and 39 & 40 Vict. c. so, the position of the line from which freeboard is measured under the said tables, and subject also to such, modifications, if any, of the tables and the application thereof as may from time to time be sanctioned by the Board of Trade.

In sanctioning any such modifications the Board of Trade shall have regard to any representations which may be made to them by any corporation or association for the survey or registry of shipping for the time appointed or approved by the Board of Trade for the purposes of this Act.
2.-(1.) The Board of Trade shall appoint the Committee of Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping, or, at the option of the owner of the ship, any other corporation or association for the survey or registry of shipping, approved by the Board of Trade, or any officer of the Board of Trade specially selected by the Board for that purpose, to approve and certify on their behalf from time to time the position of any such disc as aforesaid, and any alteration thereof, and may appoint fees to be taken in respect of any such approval or certificate.
(2.) The Board of Trade may make regulations-
(a) determining the lines or marks to be used in connexion with the disc, in order to indicate the maximum load-line under different circumstances and at different seasons, and declaring that the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, are to have effect as if any such line were drawn through the centre of the disc;
(b) as to the mode in which the disc and the lines or marks to be used in connexion therewith are to be marked or affixed on the ship, whether by painting, cutting, or otherwise;
(c) as to the mode of application for, and form of certificates under this Act;
and
(d) requiring the entry of such certificates, and other particulars as to the draught of water and freeboard of the ship, in the official log-book of the ship, or other publication thereof on board the ship, and as to delivering copies of such entries.
All such regulations shal, while in force, have effect as if enacted by this Act.
3. Where the legislature of any British possession by any enactment provides for the fixing, marking, and certifying of load-lines on ships registered in that possession, and it appears to Her Majesty the Queen that the provisions of that enactment are based on the same principles as the provisions of this Act, and are equally effective for ascertaining and determining the maximum load-lines to which such ships can be safely loaded in salt water, and for giving notice of the load-line to persons interested, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to declare that any load-line fixed and marked and any certificate given in pursuance of that enactment shall, with respect to ships so registered, have the same effect as if it had been fixed, marked, or given in pursuance of this Act.
Sections one and two of this Act shall not apply in the case of a ship registered in a British possession until the expiration of twelve months after the passing of this Act.
4. Where the Board of Trade certify that the laws and regulations for the time being in force in any foreign state with respect to overloading and improper loading are equally effective with the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts with respect thereto, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by Order in Council to direct that, on proof of a ship of that state having complied with those laws and regulations, she shall not, when in a port of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention for non-compliance with the said provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts, nor shall there arise any liability to any penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions.
Provided that this section shall not apply in the case of ships of any foreign country in which it appears to Her Majesty that corresponding provisions are not extended to British ships.
5. For the purposes of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, as amended by this Act, the expression "amidships" shall mean the middle of the length of the load water-line as measured from the fore side of the stem to the aft side of the stern-post. 6.

His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:--
HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN,
$ 104.84
Before we adjourn to indulge in a short recess from our Legislative duties it may be of interest to have brought before you a short retrospect of the work we have accomplished during the last few months and to be informed, in so far as I can inform you, of the position of the Colony at the present time.
It was with regret that we learnt from Sir WILLIAM DES V?UX, towards the beginning of this year, that ill-health compelled him to leave us for a while, but we trust that when he returns in December next he will do so with renewed vigour so that he may be enabled to take in the future that same active interest in the welfare of this Colony as he has taken in the past
A few months ago we welcomed in our midst a Son and a Daughter-in-law of Our Gracious Sovereign, and we have the gratification of feeling that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Connaught were well pleased with the brief visit they paid to this the most Eastern Point of Her Majesty's Colonial Empire.
The number of Ordinances which we have passed during the present session has not been very great and I was in hopes that we might have been able to deal with several other matters, more or less ripe for our consideration.
We have, however, enacted some laws of importance. I may refer to "The Magistrates' Ordinance"-a very lengthy measure; "The Waterworks Ordinance;" "The Vaccination. Ordinance;" "An Ordinance relating to the Falsification of Accounts;" besides others of less significance.
There are several matters which I trust will engage our attention when we meet again- such as a new law on Bankruptcy, the modification of our Emigration laws, the amendment. of our laws concerning Opium. &c.
But the enacting of Ordinances is not the only work we have got through. We have adopted a new Code of Standing Rules and Orders for the regulation of our procee lings, more in accordance with the procedure we now follow and more in conformity with the Royal Instructions under which this Council is constituted.
The Finance Committee have had under their consideration many matters of importance to carry out which it was necessary to apply for public moneys. It will always be my endeavour to consult this Council previous to undertaking measures which involve that cost which it is necessary for this Council to sanction. I do not hesitate to say that there are few Colonies in which Members of the Legislature are prepared to vote moneys so readily as here for what they consider essential in the public interest. But the more the Members of a Legislative body put trust in the proposals made for public expenditure, the less they regard with suspicion suggestions made in this direction, the more careful should a Govern- ment be in bringing such proposals before them and the more anxious should it be to see that the money is legitimately expended towards the purpose for which it was asked.
In addition to such questions as have actually been submitted to you, many matters have occupied my attention.
:
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH OCTOBER, 1890.
1003
I am very desirous that the many Chinese who must necessarily die during the course of the year in this Colony should be buried elsewhere than in the limited area we possess. I feel confident that if burials continue to take place as they do now the time will come when we shall have cause to regret it. I have been in communication with Her Majesty's Consul at Canton on the subject and although the Chinese authorities are not prepared to meet the suggestions I made, I have not abandoned hopes of being able to carry out in some way what I venture to think would tend towards the sanitary condition of this Island, while, I believe it would be more in harmony with the feelings and wishes of the Chinese themselves.
Another matter of almost equal importance which has attracted my notice is the system. of squatting which has long existed here and in regard to which several recommendations were made in the report of the Land Commission which was appointed to enquire into this and other kindred questions in the year 1886. I am about to appoint a Commission to deal with this particular subject, and although there are no doubt many difficult and complicated points involved in it, I trust that those who have expressed their readiness to serve on the Commission will be able to surmount them.
I am desirous, Gentlemen, of seeing the profession of Brokers in this Colony placed on a better footing than it stands to-day, but I would much prefer that any steps in this direction should come from the Members of that body themselves rather than be taken by the Govern- ment. I may state that on one or two occasions I have received deputations with whom I have discussed the question and who have mentioned to me proposals worthy of careful con- sideration. I trust that at the end of this year, if not before, circumstances will allow of those, who I believe are anxious to move in the matter, to follow up these proposals. If, however, such is not the case it will become necessary for the Government to seriously con- sider whether it should not take the initiative.
The Secretary of State, Gentlemen, has drawn my attention to the absence of
any vote in the Estimates for this year for the erection of a New Gaol and it cannot be doubted that the present prison accommodation is insufficient for the numbers confined. The question of constructing a New Gaol is one that has been mooted for some years past and a site has been selected and reserved for such a building. But, bearing in mind the many important works now on hand and the considerable expenditure that will be incurred thereon, I am not disposed to commence a new prison, the estimated cost of which is between $400,000 and $500,000 if such can be avoided. But recognizing, as I do, the strong necessity of further prison accommodation I have lately been considering a scheme by which I trust this may be obtained without having recourse to a new and costly construction.
Some time since we were called upon by the Imperial Government to increase our Military Contribution from ￡20,000 to ￡40,000 a year on the un lerstanding that our garrison. would be increased. This Council, on the ground that it begrudged not the expenditure of money for an efficient defence of the Colony, voted, without opposition, the amount asked for I forwarded the while stating what it expected as a return for the additional cost involved. conclusions at which the Council arrived, together with a copy of the Resolutions it passed, to the Secretary of State. I have not yet received a reply from him, but when I do so I trust there will be no objection to my laying on this table a copy of the despatch I wrote so that Honourable Members may see the views I expressed.
I may add, concerning certain rumours that have been lately afloat, that no intimation has been made to me in regard to the organization of any Chinese troops in this Colony, nor have I any reason to believe that there is any foundation for the reports to which I have alluded.
There is no Department, Gentlemen, which the people in this Colony naturally take a deeper interest in, nor which is of greater importance than that of the Public Works.
I consequently requested the Surveyor General to prepare, so that I might lay the same before you, a Memorandum of such public works as had been proceeded with this year, or were in course of construction. This he has done and the report has been submitted to you. It is gratifying to find that the work connected with the Gap Rock Lighthouse is proceeding so satisfactorily, also that a real commencement has been made in the work of the long talked of Central Market and in that of the Lunatic Asylum for Chinese. A new l'ier has been opened at Kowloon Point and orders have been given that the District School, for which provision was made in the Estimates for this year, should be proceeded with as soon as possible. A site at Kennedytown has been selected for a new Slaughter-House and Depot for pigs and sheep. It has been decided to commence, without further delay, the erection of new Police Stations at Aberdeen and Quarry Bay. The additions to Government House are being rapidly gone on with, while plans are nearly completed for a new house, offices, &c. for the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department. The Council is aware that during the course of last year an agreement was entered into for lighting the City of Victoria with electric light, and I trust that in a short time hence we shall see this work com- pleted. It may hereafter be found possible to extend this system of lighting to another and more lofty part of this Island which is daily becoming more popular and more populated.
1004
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH OCTOBER, 1890.
Instructions have lately been given to carry out some of the recommendations made by those Gentlemen who were appointed to enquire into the working of the Observatory and when the Estimates for next year are submitted to you proposals will be made for some addition to the staff of that Department. I am far from wishing to suggest increased expenditure, but if such an institution as an Observatory is to be of any real good it must be efficiently maintained, or it would be sounder economy to do away with it altogether.
Much good work has of late been done, under the supervision of Mr. CHADWICK, in connection with our drainage and waterworks. It is to be hoped that these important undertakings on which much money has been, and has still to be, expended, will prove satisfactory to the community.
There is nothing more necessary than from time to time to ascertain the financial condition of a country, and I will inform you, Gentlemen, in so far as I can, what the finan- cial condition of this Colony was on the 30th of June last.
The balance of assets in hand on 1st January, 1890, was $505,109, and the Revenue at the end of June was $1,073,079, making a total at end of June of $1,578,188.
The expenditure in the Colony up to the end of June was $720,658. The actual expenditure in England up to end of May, and that estimated for June, amounted to $254,619. To this must be added a sum of $34,127 for premia on Land Sales, making a total (partly estimated) expenditure for the first six months of the year, of $1,009,404 and shewing a probable balance of assets on 30th June of $568,784.
Within the last twelve months, Gentlemen, there have been many changes among the Members of this Council. Most of these have fortunately been caused through the necessity of making temporary arrangements. But there have been a few of a permanent nature.
In October last death prematurely and unexpectedly deprived this Colony of the services of the late Colonial Secretary, Mr. STEWART. I had not the advantage of personal acquaint- ance with this officer, but no one could be long in this Island without hearing how much he was respected and of the great good he rendered to this country, more especially in the all-important cause of Education. Another who was but a short time since among us we shall see no more.
I refer to Mr. LISTER, our late Postmaster General and Colonial Treasurer, who during a quarter of a century begrudged neither time nor labour in the performance of his duties and whose reluctance to take rest when rest was needed may have gone far to hasten his end.
I am happy to say that among the un-official Members only one change has occurred during the time I have alluded to. I refer to Mr. WONG SHING, whose period of service expired during the present year, and who desired, by reason of advancing age and the neces- sity of attending to business elsewhere, to be relieved from further duty at this Board. I recommended for Her Majesty's approval as his successor Dr. Ho KAI of whom we have already seen sufficient to know the deep concern he takes in the work brought before us and to feel how efficiently he will strive for the welfare of those whose interests he is here to represent.
I have endeavoured, Gentlemen, to lay before you such inforination as I considered might interest you at the present moment. It will not be very long before we meet again. when we shall take up as it were the threads of the work we are quitting for a while to-day. In conclusion let me thank you for the consideration you have shown me since I have been presiding over this Council, let me wish you a pleasant recess, and let me express the hope that we may all join once more in working, with increased strength, for the benefit of a Colony to which many have been indebted for good fortune in the past and to which may many be indebted for success and happiness in the future.

ing them on oath, affirmation or otherwise. (2.) Compelling the production of documents.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
HONGKONG ROADS.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
The line of Telegraph Cables crossing between the North Point of Hongkong and the South-East Point of British Kowloon is now marked by four white posts, (two on each side) each carrying a Red lamp at night. No ships, junks or vessels of any description are to anchor within the rectangle enclosed by these four posts and lights.
The lamps are so screened that the Easternmost lights do not show to the Eastward, nor the Westernmost lights to the Westward of the proscribed grund: when therefore the two lights on the same side can be seen at the same time, it will be evident to Masters of vessels that they must stand on until one or other of the lights is shut in.
The posts may be further distinguished by day by their carrying a red diamond underneath the lamp.

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

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.
His Excellency then addressed the Council as follows:-
HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN,
time.
In meeting again together for the resumption of our Legislative duties I believe I may congratulate yon on the satisfactory condition, on the whole, of the Colony at the present I am willing to admit that those clouds of depression which have for some time past been hanging over it have not altogether passed away, but I think there are reasonable pro- spects of their doing so and I sincerely hope that a no distant future has in store times as prosperous as have been witnessed in the past. The health of the Island during that portion of the year which has now elapsed has been exceptionally good and we have happily escaped visitations from any epidemic or other serious malady.
As regards our finances the following is their present condition in so far as I am able to inform you.
The balance of assets on the 1st of January this year was, as I have previously stated, $505,109, but from this summ I regret to say that a no less amount than $58,502 must be deducted for the unfortunate defalcations which have taken place in connection with the Post Office Department, papers on which subject will be laid before you.
The local revenue received up to the 30th of September was $1,415,894. The amount received in England as far as can be estimated, (the Crown Agents' accounts having been received up to the 31st of July only) was $1,798.
The premiums on land sales amounted to $12,463 making a total up to the 30th. September of $1,876,762.
‧
1032
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH OCTOBER, 1890.
The Ordinary Expenditure for the first nine months of the year was $865,467. The approximate expenditure in England was $116,369, making a total of $981,836.
The Extraordinary Local Expenditure during the same period was $215,695; the extraordinary expenses in England were about $100,000, making a total of $315,695.
A sum of $34,226 was expended on the purchase of Baxter House for the purpose of a Police Station.
This total expenditure therefore amounts to $1,331,757, leaving an approximate balance on the 30th September of $545,005.
The Estimates for the coming year have been prepared and will be laid before you without delay.
The Estimated Revenue up to the end of the present year is $1,884.943; to this may be added the balance of assets at the beginning of this year-less the amount to be deducted for the defalcations I have mentioned-which is therefore $446,607 and $50,000 may be put down as a possible sum to be realized on land sales before the year comes to a close. The total revenue therefore amounts to $2,381,550.
The Estimated Ordinary Expenditure is $1,470,221; the extraordinary expenditure $449,700, making a total of $1,919.921. The probable balance on hand therefore on the 31st of December next, presuming all the amount estimated for extraordinary expenditure to be spent which is somewhat improbable, will be $461,629.
be
The Estimated Revenue for 1891, is $1,952,098 while the premiums on land sales can put down at $100,000 making a total of $2,513,727.
The Estimated Ordinary Expenditure is $1,663,420, Extraordinary $804,279 leaving
a probable balance on hand on the 31st of December, 1891, of $46,028.
Among the principal items causing further expenditure for next year I may mention the increased Military Contribution from ￡20,000 to ￡40,000, which taking the dollar as representing 3/6d. would amount to $228,572.
The additions to salaries authorized by the Secretary of State amounting to about $47,000.
The increased cost entailed by the new system of Audit which will involve a yearly increase of about $7,500.
The introduction of the Electric Light causing an increase of $13,500.
The most serious addition, however, to Extraordinary Expenditure results from the amount estimated as necessary for Public Works. We know how essential it is, Gentlemen, that such public works as are in course of construction should be completed without delay and that such others as may be really needful should be commenced, while the water and drainage system, which the Colony has undertaken, cannot be allowed to stand still. But I do think that it is a question for serious consideration whether it is just towards the present tax-payers that the entire cost of such works as are destined for the good of future generations should entirely fall upon us.
It seems to me that the comparatively small debt of ￡200,000, which is gradually becoming less every year, might fairly be added to so as to enable the Colony to construct such works as are absolutely necessary without undue pressure on its finances or over- taxation of its people.
Several Ordinances are in course of preparation and many are ready for consideration.
your immediate
Among them is an Ordinance to amend the Laws relating to the Police Force which is rendered desirable in consequence of certain changes that have lately taken place among the Officers of that Department and which I have already had occasion to explain to you.
The Secretary of State has made it a condition, as regards many of those who will under the proposed scheme for the re-adjustment of salaries receive additional pay, that they should join a Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund. A similar measure to that proposed some months back, but which was not then proceeded with, will therefore be submitted to you. I may state that such a law exists in many other Colonies, and although it is impossible to say how far the measure will prove a success in a Colony where the number of Civil Servants is comparatively small, it must be admitted that its object, in providing for those who may otherwise be left in want and destitution, is a good one.
The Squatters' Ordinance has been drafted with the view of giving the necessary powers to those who have been already appointed to consider how the irregular occupation of Crown lands in this Colony can be discontinued.
An Ordinance to give further powers to Companies with respect to the alteration of their Memoranda of Association will be submitted to you.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH OCTOBER, 1890.
1033
Honourable Members will recollect that during the course of the present year a Private Bill was introduced with the object of enabling the Hongkong Land Investment Company to transact business elsewhere than in this Colony, and to extend its powers of investments which under its present Articles of Association it is unable to do. The Ordinance passed through its different stages, but before my assent was given to it objections were raised against it and I was requested to submit the matter for the decision of the Secretary of State. This I did and the Secretary of State in reply forwarded copy of a Public Bill which was then passing through the Imperial Parliament on the subject, stating that he had no objection to a similar measure being passed here. The Ordinance which will be laid before you is therefore mutatis mutandis a copy of the English Act.
Bills to amend the Public Health Ordinance of 1887; to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to Merchant Shipping, &c.; to amend the Opium Ordinances; to consolidate the Law relating to Chinese Passenger Ships and the conveyance of Chinese emigrants; to amend the Law relating to Bankruptcy; to amend our Laws in regard to Gambling and to provide. against the Adulteration of Food are all in course of preparation and will be brought before you very shortly.
It will be remembered that at our last meeting previous to the recess a Bill was intro- duced by an Honourable Member to amend the Law respecting the sale of Shares in Companies registered under the Companies Ordinances. This measure is undoubtedly one of considerable importance and in order to save time it was proposed that I should, during the recess, send a copy of it to the Secretary of State for his consideration. I did so and so soon as I receive a reply I will inform the Council accordingly.
I have already mentioned to you, Gentlemen, my desire to find further space than exists in this Island for the interment of such Chinese who die here and whose relatives are not in a position to remove their remains for burial elsewhere. This, as is the case with most questions. of difficulty and importance, requires some time for solution, but I have good reason to hope, although my original idea may not be carried out, that I shall soon be able to attain in some way the object I have in view.
The question of Gaol extension has not ceased to occupy my attention since we last met as I am fully convinced of the necessity of providing in some way or another, further prison accommodation. I have addressed the Secretary of State on the subject and although there are no doubt arguments in favour of building a new Prison which it would not have been right of me to have concealed from him I have expressed an opinion, in order to avoid so large an expenditure as would be involved in the erection of a new building, that the existing Gaol should be added to on its present site by the Magistracy being removed to a piece of ground which I believe has long been lying idle in the vicinity of the quarters occupied by the Captain Superintendent and Police Inspectors.
Until I hear what the Secretary of State's views are in the matter the question cannot be definitely settled. But in the meantime such a sum has been inserted in the Estimates as is likely to be required next year either for one work or the other. If the present Gaol is enlarged in the manner I have suggested, the cost, including the erection of a new Magistracy," &c., is estimated at $170,000.
The correspondence which has taken place between the Secretary of State and myself respecting the increase of our Military Contribution will be laid on the table. To comment on it is unnecessary on my part. Honourable Members will see the views I expressed and the replies that have been received and they can judge for themselves in the matter.
The question of the Naval and Military Establishments being removed from the Town of Victoria is engaging the consideration of the home Authorities and I believe that before very long it will be ripe for a decision.
Ι may inform the Council that Lord KNUTSFORD has approved of the formation in this Colony of a Volunteer Machine Gun Corps and a Volunteer Mounted Rifle Corps as recom- mended by the Committee appointed to consider this question in 1889, and that the Maxim guns, the cost of which was voted in March last, have been ordered.
My attention was drawn some time ago to the fact that a certain amount of over-pressure existed in the Schools of this Island more especially as regards Chinese children. Honour- able Members will have observed that enquiry is now being made into this point. Whether over-pressure exists in the Schools or not the result of the investigation will probably show, but I may inform the Council that I discovered that the number of attendances required in the Aided Schools here was greater than that demanded in other Colonies. For this I could see no sufficient reason and I recommended to the Colonial Authorities that it should be reduced. To this proposal the Secretary of State has acceded and the same number of attendances will hereafter be required here as are required at the Schools in the Straits Settlements.
Papers will be submitted to you respecting a proposed reduction in Postage Rates with a view of obtaining a uniform postage for all the different Colonies and thus to do
away with certain anomalies which now exist. The estimated loss to the Imperial Revenue, should the scheme be carried out, is about ￡105,000 a year and Her Majesty's Government desire to

know whether the various Colonies are disposed to contribute towards reducing this amount. In the interests of the world generally the idea is no doubt a good one and one to which I feel sure this Council will give every consideration. But it will be seen from the Report of the Acting Assistant Postmaster General that the Colony will lose a no inconsiderable sum by the scheme being adopted and I am therefore desirous of taking the sense of the Council on the question before sending a reply.
A short time ago I had the satisfaction of taking part, in what I may allude to as the gratifying function of laying the foundation stone of the Gap Rock Lighthouse. To join in the erection of a beacon, the object of which is to save from danger and to guide through difficulties, must at all times be a pleasurable duty, but I venture to say that there are few spots where the existence of a lighthouse will prove of more true value to navigation than that from which this light will shine over many a distant mile.
I may mention, in connection with this subject that I have lately enquired what steps are being taken to place a lighthouse on Waglan Island in lieu of that on Cape D'Aguilar and I am glad to be able to inform you that the Chinese Authorities are at the present moment seriously considering this question and that engineers and others are about to be sent, if they have not left already, to make all necessary arrangements for carrying out the work.
The Secretary of State's Despatch regarding the Increase of Salaries to Civil Servants. and the conditions under which such are to be granted will be laid on this table. It will be seen that Lord KAUTSFORD has felt unable to consent to the scheme proposed by Sir WILLIAM DES Vaux that salaries should be paid at stirling rate, but he has sanctioned an increase, with certain exceptions, on the conditions however that those who accept the increases proposed shall forego the privilege of sending money home in the shape of family remittances as heretofore; that when on leave they shall be paid at the rate of 4/- the dollar and that their pensions shall be at the rate of 3/8d. only.
Since we last met, Gentlemen, the services of one who had been a Member of this Council for some years past have not only been lost to us but to this Colony generally.
There is no one who took a deeper interest in his work as a Member of the Legislature; who without speaking for display or for any factious object was nevertheless prepared to take such action and to ask for such information as he considered the public interest demanded- than Mr. MACEWEN. His absence from this Board will necessarily be felt, but I am sure that the one who has been selected to replace him will do all in his power to make up for the loss we have sustained.
In conclusion, Gentlemen, let me ask of you to join your efforts in working for the future welfare of a Colony which by reason of increased facilities in communication is yearly becoming of more importance in a political and Imperial point of view while I trust of more value to those whose interests are interwoven with its interests and whose fortunes and whose happiness may be said to be proportionate to its success and its prosperity.
At an early period of the coming year the Colony will be celebrating its fiftieth anni- versary as a possession of the British Crown, and it is an interesting coincidence that in 1891 it will witness the same span of life as will the Heir to the English Throne.
That Hongkong may advance and prosper during the fifty years that are next to come as it has advanced and prospered during the fifty years that are about to pass away is I am sure the earnest wish of one and all of us.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 21st July, were read and confirmed. ·

Bye-laws made by the Sanitary Board of Hongkong and submitted to the Governor under sub-section 1 cf
section 13 of Ordinance No. 24 of 1887.
Preliminary Explanatory Notes.
A. The following notes convey, in general terms, the principles that should guide the design and construction of house-drains. Before proceeding to lay down in detail the instructions which should be attended to, in order to apply the same satisfactorily; it must be observed that no code of instructions can possibly embrace every case that will occur. It must be remembered that no system of house-drainage that has yet been devised, or probably will ever be devised, does away with the necessity for care in use. The real remedy for the inconveniences which are too often experienced from house-drains lies, not in any elaboration of appliances, but in careful construction, careful use, and a reasonably liberal water supply. Without the co-operation of the public, the Sanitary Authority is almost powerless to effect improvement. It is therefore to be hoped that the public will assist, by insisting on good construction and the proper use of house-drains.
B. The object of a house-drain is to carry off, from the dwelling to the street-sewer, water fouled by use, together with all the solid or semi-solid refuse which is usually associated therewith, such as excrement of men or domestic animals, refuse from cooking and the like; in short, the foul liquid usually known as sewage.
C. The house-drain must be "self-cleansing." The sewage as produced in the daily life of the inmates, must flow through the drain with a current sufficiently rapid to sweep along with it all suspended matter, so that no permanent deposit can take place. A drain in which deposit takes place, is a cesspool in disguise, from which offensive emanations find their way into the dwelling; and from which putrid sewage flows into the street-sewers, making them exceedingly offensive.

The following Bye-laws under The Public Health Ordinance, 1887, are published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th October, 1890.
W. M. DEANE,
Acting Colonial Secretary,
Bye-laws made by the Sanitary Board of Hongkong and submitted to the Governor under sub-section 1 cf
section 13 of Ordinance No. 24 of 1887.
Preliminary Explanatory Notes.
A. The following notes convey, in general terms, the principles that should guide the design and construction of house-drains. Before proceeding to lay down in detail the instructions which should be attended to, in order to apply the same satisfactorily; it must be observed that no code of instructions can possibly embrace every case that will occur. It must be remembered that no system of house-drainage that has yet been devised, or probably will ever be devised, does away with the necessity for care in use. The real remedy for the inconveniences which are too often experienced from house-drains lies, not in any elaboration of appliances, but in careful construction, careful use, and a reasonably liberal water supply. Without the co-operation of the public, the Sanitary Authority is almost powerless to effect improvement. It is therefore to be hoped that the public will assist, by insisting on good construction and the proper use of house-drains.
B. The object of a house-drain is to carry off, from the dwelling to the street-sewer, water fouled by use, together with all the solid or semi-solid refuse which is usually associated therewith, such as excrement of men or domestic animals, refuse from cooking and the like; in short, the foul liquid usually known as sewage.
C. The house-drain must be "self-cleansing." The sewage as produced in the daily life of the inmates, must flow through the drain with a current sufficiently rapid to sweep along with it all suspended matter, so that no permanent deposit can take place. A drain in which deposit takes place, is a cesspool in disguise, from which offensive emanations find their way into the dwelling; and from which putrid sewage flows into the street-sewers, making them exceedingly offensive. A

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH OCTOBER, 1890.
badly constructed or badly kept house-drain is, therefore, not only a source of danger to the inmates of the house that it drains, but a public nuisance also. Unless house-drains are well made and properly used, no system of street-sewers, however perfect, can work in a satisfactory manner.
D. Water being the agent which cleanses the house-drains, its liberal use by the inmates of the dwelling, is essential to the proper maintenance of house-drains. The sewage must be well diluted. Nevertheless the quantity of water necessary for the proper cleansing of house-drains, is not excessive. The water normally used by the inmates of a dwelling for washing and cooking, is sufficient for this purpose, provided that it is readily obtainable at all times, either in the dwelling, or in close proximity thereto.
E. The principal point to be attended to in the design of house-drains, is so to arrange matters that the sewage, as producel, shall flow through them in the most rapid current practicable; so that all suspended matter shall be swept away at once and completely.
F. The speed of a stream flowing through a pipe or channel, of given size and shape, depends upon the following conditions:-
(a.) The inclination of the channel.
(b.) The smoothness of its surface.
(c.) The volume of the stream.
The steeper the slope and the smoother the sides of the channel, the swifter will be the The greater the volume of the stream, iucl uation being the same, the greater the speed.
current.
Thus; if a 12" and a 3" pipe have the same inclination the velocity in the 12" pipe would be about twice as great as in the 3′′ pipe, provide 1 that both were half full. But to fill the two pipes to this extent, the qua itity of water passing through the 12" pipe, would be about thirty-two times that passing through the 3" pipe. But if the same quantity flowed through both pipes. then the current in the 3′′ pipe, being more concentrated, would flow m?re rapidly than that in the partially filled, 12" pipe.
G. These considerations would lead to the conclusion that the best size, to be used for any house-drain, would be that which would just suffice to carry off the sewage with the pipe not less than half ful!. Within certain limitations, this is the case.
H. In the case of street-sewers draining large districts, from which the flow of sewage is comparatively regular aui capable of estimation, the proper size of sewer may be calculated with some approach to precision. In t e case of house-drains, however, such precision is impracticable. The rate of flow is irregular and the quantity of sewage depends upon the habits of the inmates. Were the size of a house-drain calulated to arry off even a m st liberal water supply, which is, for practical purposes the measure of the sewage, it would be found, in the vast majority of cases, to be much less than that which experience has shewn, to be applicable in practice. It has been found that a house-drain less than a certain size, is inconveniently liable to stoppages, caused by extraneous matters, such as rags, paper and the like, which occasionally find their way into the best managed house-drains.
I. The minimum size of house-drain is usually fixed at from four to six inches in diameter. A four-inch drain, constructed in the usual manner, is probably somewhat small as a minimum ; and a six-inch somewhat large. A diameter of five inches, were this size readily obtainable, would be a better minimum.
J. Whenever the minimum size will suffice it should be used. Indeed, subject to the limit laid down in the preceding paragraph, and to certain con litions to be set forth later on, the smaller the house-drain the better. The use of unnecessarily large house-drains amounts to an abandonment of the self-cleansing principle. If a drain is so large that the normal flow of sewage cannot fill it to a sufficient depth to establish a self-cleansing velocity, deposit takes place and goes on, either till the pipe is choked and the sewage escapes, through leaks, to the sub-soil: or, until the deposit has accumulated sufficiently to reduce the area of the sewage-way to that which will establish a current sufficiently rapid to prevent further deposit.
K. In order that the size of house-drains may be reduced to the minimum practicable, in each instance, rain-water should be excluded from them as far as possible. Rain-water cannot, however, be wholly excluded from house-drains. Many uncovered surfaces such as back-yards, receive slops and foul water in the course of daily use and this must be carried off by the house-drains. A duplicate set of drains for such areas, one for sewage and the other for rain-water, would be a costly complication and there would be no security that each set would be used for its proper purpose only. Some sewage would almost inevitably find its way into the rain-water drain, which, being of large size, would be imperfectly flushed and therefore offensive.
+
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH OCTOBER, 1890.
L. Rain-water should be diverted from house-drains to the full extent that is possible by the use of surface-channels. As a general rule, when surface-channels cannot be used to divert rain- water, it must be admitted to the house-drain. Hence, in the majority of cases, the amount of rain- water to be carried off determines the size of the house-drain. The table, hereunto attached, gives the area from which 4" of rain, falling in one hour, will be carried off by pipes of various sizes, laid at different inclinations. In providing for the removal of rain-fall, from a given surface, it is to be remembered that it is not sufficient to provide a pipe of ample size to carry off the rain-fall. Traps and gratings must be provided in sufficient numbers and of sizes to admit the rain-water freely to the drain and the surface must have a fall to carry it to the openings. In many cases neglect of these precautions has caused flooding. This has been put down to the size of the pipes, whereas the in- lets were really at fault.
Rain-water cannot be looked upon as a legitimate agent for cleansing house-drains from deposit. Firstly, there should be no deposit to remove from well constructed and properly managed drains; and secondly, because there are long intervals in which no rain falls so that this flushing - agent fails when most wanted.
M. The irregularity and uncertainty of the flow of sewage, which precludes an accurate determination of size, makes it impracticable, to calculate definitely the proper inclination of house-drains. Experience shews that, under the normal conditions of use, an inclination of one in thirty is desirable to ensure a self-cleansing drain; especially when the drain conveys the sewage from a single trap or inlet. An inclination of one in thirty, therefore, should, as a rule, be given to house-drains. Drains laid at much flatter gradients can be made to work perfectly, with care, and provided that the flow of sewage is copious i.e. sufficient to fill the pipe nearly half full. The designer of house-drains having no control over their subsequent usage, will do well to give them, in every case, the greatest practicable fall.
N. The ordinary "trap" or syphon is not a perfect preventive against the escape of sewage- tainted air from house-drains, although it is the only appliance available for the purpose. The water which seals the trap may evaporate during disuse, or a piece of fibrous matter may act like a a syphon and draw off the water sufficiently to leave a free passage for the escape of sewage- tainted air. Again, if there be a series of inlets connected to a drain which is unprovided with any free outlet; a sudden rush of water through one trap will force the air contained in the drain through the other traps or unseal them by drawing off their contents, and open a passage for the escape of sewage-tainted air into the dwelling, or into some confined space in its neighbourhood. Consequently, house-drains must be "ventilated," or rather provided with vents, to prevent the accumulation of sewage-tainted air therein, and to secure the efficiency of the traps. To effect this thoroughly, the drain must have, at or near its extremities, openings giving a free escape to the air within it, and between these openings, there should be no trap or other obstruction to the free passage of air.
that any sewage-tainted air which may With this object the inner ventilating- This is usually done by carrying up a

These ventilating-openings should be so placed escape from them shall be as little offensive as possible. opening should be placed above the roof of the dwelling. pipe, having a free opening at the top, above the roof; and at a distance from any window. The second opening is usually made on the house-side of the trap which severs the direct communica- tion between the drain and the public sewer. If, however, there be no trap between the house- drain and the sewer then there is no necessity for a second opening, the sewer itself serving the purpose. With a well constructed system of self-cleansing street-sewers this arrangement may be adopted with safety, even with advantage. Then every house-drain ventilator serves as a sewer ventilator also; and when this is done universally, no accumulation of sewer-tainted air can take place in any part of the system.
P. Care must be taken in selecting the position of the lower ventilating opening, because the efevated ventilating pipe by no means secures a permanent upward current of air. According to the relative temperature of the air within and without the drain, to the direction and force of the wind, so an upward or downward current will obtain.
Q. Complete ventilation is especially important when any part of the house-drain system is in communication with the interior of the dwelling; or where the system is extensive and has numerous inlets. It is essential where water-closets are used, or where the drains receive excre- mentitious matter. In the case of a short length of drain, leading from a single inlet, placed in an open space, such as a back-yard, though desirable, it is less necessary and may be omitted with- out serious danger.
R. Any direct communication between the interior of the house and the house-drain should be avoided. Pipes carrying water from baths or sinks, within the dwelling, should therefore deliver their effluent above trapped gulleys, in the open air. The effluent from baths or sinks, on upper storeys should, whenever practicable, beceived by open-topped pipes, delivering freely above trapped gulleys at or a little below the ground-level. If, as in the case of water-closets, a direct communication has to be made between a fitting inside the house and the drain, then there must be complete ventilation by means of a pipe carried up outside and to the top of the building.

The plan must also show the position and course of all proposed surface gutters.
Except that in case of suburban lots which cannot be conveniently included within a plan of ordinary dimensions, when the lot and the out-fall drain may be shown on a scale of not less than one hundred feet to the inch.
3. Within seven days after receipt of the Notice, the Sanitary Surveyor shall, by means of a written communication, in English or Chinese as may be necessary, inform the person who has given the said Notice whether his designs and proposed mode of construction are approved or disapproved, and in case of disapproval such modifications or improvements as may be requisite in order to comply with the provisions of Ordinance No. 24 of 1887 and of any Bye-Laws made thereunder shall be indicated in detail to such person by the Sanitary Sur- veyor, and it shall not be lawful for such person to commence the new drains until the approval thereto of the Sanitary Surveyor shall have been previously obtained by him, and in the case of such approval one copy of the deposited plan shall be returned to him, and the remaining copy shall remain filed in the Office of the Sanitary Surveyor.
NOTE.-The approval of plans conveyed by the Sanitary Surveyor under this bye-law certifies simply to the fact that the plans are in accordance with the Public Health Ordinance and with the bye-laws made thereunder but signifies no approval of the sufficiency or otherwise of the plan and throws no responsibility on the Board. ..
4. Any person carrying out excavations for new drainage works on any premises contiguous to a public thoroughfare whereby the safety of the public may be jeopardized, shall light such excavations by means of a lantern or lanterns kept lighted through the night, and he shall further provide watchmen, erect hoardings and otherwise take such precautions as may be necessary for securing the safety of the public and the protection of adjoining properties.

13. Subject to the limitation mentioned in the preceding Bye-law, no main size of drains. house-drain shall be larger than is necessary in the opinion of the Board to carry off the sewage of the dwelling, or the sewage with the rain-water, which, under con- ditions hereinafter specified in Bye-laws Nos. 38, 39, 40 and 41 shall be admitted to the house-drain.
14. Every house-drain shall have the maximum fall, throughout its length, Fall to drains. that the relative levels of the public sewer and of the most remote inlet, will admit of.
Provided always
(a.).
That the maximum available fall does not exceed one in thirty (or 4 inches in 10 feet). If it does, then the part of the drain, more remote from the public sewer, may be laid with a fall of one in thirty; and the remainder, with such greater fall as may be necessary to connect with the public sewer.
(b.) That the excavation, necessary to obtain the maximum available fall, is not of such a nature as to endanger the stability of the adjoining or neighbouring property.
In these and similar cases the gradient may be reduced subject to the approval of the Board.
15. Whenever a reduction of fall, (below the standard grade 1 in 30), is Fall to drains. necessary or permissible, it shall, wherever practicable, be made in the portion of the drain, nearest to the outlet, rather than in the part nearest to the inlet and in
the main trunk of the drain, rather than in the branches.
NOTE. The available fall in a house-drain, 100 feet long, is 2′ 6′′ or one in forty. It will be better to make the first thirty feet from the inlet, with a fall of 1 foot, or 1 in 30; and the remaining length of 70 feet with a fall of 1 in 46'66, than to give an uniform fall throughout.

It is clear that an obstruction at A would be more easily removed than one at B, in the pipe of uniform gradient, because it would have a greater head of water behind it; and in flowing from the inlet to it, the stream will have attained a certain momentum, tending to carry it on, through the flatter part of the pipe.

16. Whenever the gradient of any portion of a drain is less than one in thirty, the Sanitary Board may in its discretion require an automatic flush tank or any other suitable contrivance for attaining an effective flush to be used.
17. All changes of direction in house-drains shall be made by means of properly curved pipes or by half channels in manholes and between the points at which any change of direction occurs all house-drains shall be laid in straight lines and regular grades from point to point.
NOTE. (Inasmuch as changes of direction are the points at which obstructions most frequently occur, and for the purpose of removing obstructions generally, house-holders will do well to provide, at each change of direc- tion, a manhole, giving access to the drain. For this purpose the manhole should be made 3′ 0′′ × 1′ 6′′ to the surface or to a depth of five feet above the drain. Beyond this depth the manhole may be narrowed to l′ 6′′ × 1′6′′). But such manhole should not be found in cook-houses or in places where they may be opened and used as receptacles for the disposal of solid rubbish.
18. No drain shall be so constructed as to pass under any building except when any other mode of construction is impracticable. Any drain passing under a building shall, whenever possible, be laid in one straight line for the whole distance beneath such building, and shall be imbedded and incased throughout its entire length in four inches of good concrete.
Whenever a drain traverses soft or yielding ground, or where water may make its appearance in the trench, the drain shall be surrounded throughout its entire length with four inches of good concrete.
The stones composing the matrix of the concrete in both cases shall be of a size to pass through a half-inch ring.
19. No new drain shall be constructed in such manner as to allow any inlet to such drain to be placed inside any building on such premises.
20. The aggregate area of the openings in any grating fixed on inlets to waste- pipes from baths or sinks shall not be less than four square inches and the waste-. pipe shall not have a less internal diameter than 11?2 inches.
NOTE. The object of this is to secure an efficient flush.
·
21. Traps or gulleys for the removal of rain water shall be provided with gratings having the nett area of the openings not less than twice the area of the trap or pipe. Such gratings shall be sunk to a depth of at least one inch below the surrounding pavement, with a slope round them equal to half the width of the grating.
NOTE. It is not sufficient to provide pipes of ample diameter there must be openings of sufficient size to admit the rain to them.
22. Traps at the inlets to drains shall be placed so that the water-level in them, is not less than one foot below the ground, and such trap shall be placed as low down as the level of the house-drain or branch will permit of; provided that the depth be not more than two feet.
23. Traps shall have not less than two inches of water seal and shall be securely fixed to the drain. All stoneware traps shall be surrounded with a thickness of four inches of lime concrete.
24. No person shall construct or fix in connexion with any new drain or waste pipe the form of trap of the kind known as the Bell-Trap or any trap of the kind known as the D trap and all traps connected with any private drains shall be properly set in cement mortar to the satisfaction of the Board.
NOTE.-Bell-Traps and D traps from their form give rise to deposit of filth difficult to remove by flushing.
25. Every main house- Irain, wherever practicable, shall be ventilated at its upper end by an opening, in free communication with the outer air. This opening shall be placed in such a position, as to render any emanations from it as little obnoxious as possible.
NOTE. (This is, in most cases, to be done by carrying up a well-jointed pipe, not less than four inches in clear internal diameter, to some point, above the eaves of the building, which is not in close proximity to any window or chimney. In the case of rural or suburban tenements, the ventilating opening may be provided on any eminence, or open space at a distance from the dwelling; the ventilating pipe and opening, in this case, being not less than four inches in internal diameter.)
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH OCTOBER, 1890.
26. Every main house-drain shall have a ventilating opening near to its lower Ventilation. end and no trap or other obstruction to the free circulation of air shall exist between this opening and the one described in the preceding bye-law.
If there be a trap between the house-drain and the public sewer, then an opening shall be made on the house-side of the trap, and the said opening shall be so arranged as to give access to the trap for inspection, cleansing or repair.
If there be no trap between the public sewer and the house-drain no special opening need be provided at the lower end.
27. Drains leading from a single trap and not being more than sixty feet long, Ventilation. need not be provided with an elevated ventilating opening at their upper end but if this be omitted, they shall be provided with a trap, disconnecting them from the public sewer, and shall have a ventilating opening at the lower end on the house- side of the trap.
28. Ventilating and fall pipes of stoneware shall be securely fixed to the Ventilating-pipes. exterior surfaces of walls with wrought iron bands fitted round the pipe and made fast to the wall with two wrought iron spikes not less than four inches in length. Metal pipes shall also be fixed as above or shall have two ears fixed to them and secured to the wall with two wrought iron spikes, not less than four inches long.
29. Down-pipes, conveying rain-water from roofs, shall be constructed of Down-pipes. cast or welded wrought-iron, and when the down-pipe discharges into the house- drain it shall be completely disconnected therefrom, as described in bye-law No. 31 and fitted with a bend, shoe or pedestal pipe. Wherever practicable, the rain-water down-pipes on the street side of buildings, shall be carried under the footpath and discharge into the side-channel.
NOTE. It is most important that such pipes should be completely disconnected from the sewers so that they cannot by any possibility serve as conduits for conducting sewer air up and into the dwelling.
30. Waste-pipes from baths, sinks and other similar appliances, on the upper Waste-pipes. floors of buildings shall be of cast-iron socketted pipes or wrought-iron welded- pipes with screwed joints coated with bituminous composition, or in the case of wrought-iron, galvanised; or of well glazed stone-ware socketted pipes, or other approved materials, securely fixed outside the wall, and provided, at each point of connection, with a suitable head, and at their lower extremity with a bend, shoe or pedestal pipe. All joints of stoneware pipes to be made in the manner provided for in bye-law 5.
NOTE.-Zinc, tin-plate, rivetted or lap-jointed sheet-iron will not be approved.
31. Waste-pipes, as well as down-pipes from roofs, shall not be connected Waste-pipes. direct with any drain but shall discharge in the open air near to or over a trap and they shall be brought down to within one foot or less from the ground.
32. No rain water-pipe from the roof of a building shall be used as a ventila- Rain-water pipes. ting shaft to any drain which communicates or is designed to communicate with a public sewer.
NOTE.-Rain water-pipes terminate at the eaves of the house a point not high enough, above windows to be a safe ventilating outlet.

33. Any person who may have laid any new drain or constructed new drainage Covering up drains. works connected therewith shall not cover up such drain or works until the same shall have been previously inspected and passed by the Board, and such person shall give three clear days' written notice to the Board that such drain or works are ready for inspection, and such notice shall be delivered at the Office of the Board in a form of which printed blank copies may be obtained gratis in English and Chinese on application at the Office of the Board, or in the case of Villages-at any Village Police Station, between the hours of 10 A.M. and 4 P.M.
34. Before any drain is covered in, it shall be inspected and tested to ascer- Inspection of drains. tain whether it is water or air-tight; and no drain that fails in this respect shall
be passed. After inspection, the earth shall be carefully filled in, above and

around the drain; and thoroughly rammed and consolidated. For a depth of at least six inches, above the summit of the sockets of the pipe, selected material, free from stones larger than will pass through a 2" ring, shall be used in filling in the trench.
35. The floors of cook-houses, stables, cow-sheds and the like, where practicable shall be elevated above the ground outside the dwelling, and be provided with surface channels, passing out through the wall, and delivering above a trapped- gulley, outside. When new drains are being laid and where the floor is at the level of the ground outside, the surface-channel of the cook-house, shall be con- nected to a trap, outside the house, by a straight open pipe, terminating above the water-level of the trap, which shall be accessible and in free communication with the air.
36. The floors of cook-houses, latrines, privies, back-yards shall be paved with some impervious and durable material, such as granite setts, or vitrified bricks, laid on a bed of good concrete not less than four inches thick, and pointed with good mortar, or with good concrete laid in a bel not less than six inches thick and rendered with cement, and shall have a fall from the walls to the outlet of at least a inch to the foot.
37. All surfaces of back-yards and paved areas of premises wherever prac- ticable shall have a fall, from the walls of the building towards the trap or inlet of the drain, at the rate of not less than an inch to 1 foot, and such inlet shall be placed as far from the walls as practicable.
38. Open surfaces such as back-yards, court-yards or other spaces, on which slops are thrown, or from which foul waters flow, shall be provided with trapped connections to the house-drains, for the removal of such waters, as well as some of the rain-water. But such surfaces shall be properly paved, in the manner prescribed for back-yards and cook-houses, so that no sand or silt may washed into the drains from them.
be
39. Wherever an outlet is available, surface channels shall be provided to carry excessive rain-fall from premises and these channels shall be properly connected with the storm-water channel, in the street. Traps not less than 4 inches in diameter in connection with the house-drain shall be placed in this sur- face-channel, which will carry off slops or sewage, as well as some rain-full.
40. Rain-water shall be diverted from house-drains by means of surface channels or otherwise to the fullest extent practicable.
41. The rain-water from roofs, which slope towards enclosed court-yards, or back-yards, may, if diversion to the surface channel is impracticable, be received into the house-drain. But no ventilating pipe shall be used for the conveyance of rain-water from the roof.
42. No person shall, where it can possibly be avoided, lay any pipe for con- veying sub-soil drainage in such inanner or in such position as to communicate direct with any sewer, cess-pool or drain used for the conveyance or reception of
sewage.
NOTE. It is important to exclude sewage tainted air from the sub-soil. The connection of sub-soil drains to sewers even if a trap is used is objectionable, because in dry weather the flow of the drain may cease and the water or the trap may dry up and leave a free communication between the sewer and the sub-soil drain. The object of sub-soil drainage is not only the removal of water, but the aeration of the sub-soil. The mouths of such drains therefore should be so placed that pure air can enter freely, a condition incompatable with direct connection with sewers or house-drains.
43. In every case where the course of a new drain shall be diverted, any cesspool previously existing and into which such new drain may have previously emptied, shall be cleansed, deodorized and filled with clean earth.
44. All new drains or drainage works, shall be built and carried out in all respects in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 24 of 1887 and of these Bye-Laws and of any that may be made hereafter and if no written Notice as provid-

46. These bye-laws shall come into force on and after the 1st day of January, 1891, and the bye-laws dated the 17th day of November, 1888, and published in the Government Gazette of the 24th November, 1888, are hereby repealed as from the 1st day of January, 1891.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial | Half year, 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.

1062 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH OCTOBER, 1890.
Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD addressed the Council and gave notice that at the next Meeting he would move the following resolution :--
That the Government be requested to formulate and lay before the Council proposals for defraying
the extraordinary expenditure on Public Works by means of a loan.
Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD further gave notice that at the next Meeting he would also put the following question
Have the Government received a report from the Honourable E. J. Ackroyd and Mr. Nicolle on the recent defalcations in the Money Order Office and on the causes which led to them, if so, will they lay it on the table, together with a statement of the measures which have been taken to prevent such defalcations in future?
MOJA His Excellency addressed the Council and stated that in connection with the resolution of the Honourable Member he would desire to consult the Executive Council between this and the next meeting when the resolution would be brought forward. As to the question in connection with the defalcations in the Money Order Department, a report had been received regarding the proposed amendments of keeping the accounts. He had not had an opportunity of looking through the report, but would shortly do so, and as soon as all the papers in connection with the matter could possibly be laid on the table, he would certainly lay them. His Excellency further stated that he had replied to the Despatch the Secretary of State wrote in answer to his first despatch in connection with the increased Military Contribution. There had however not yet been time to receive a reply. When the despatch was answered and he was in a position to know what the Secretary of State said it would be his desire to give the fullest information in regard to the matter to this Council and to the public generally.
Honourable Ho KAI, pursuant to notice, asked the following question :-
What steps have been or are to be taken by the Government
1. To suppress or diminish public gambling in the Colony.
2. To regulate, register or suppress the hundreds of gambling clubs that have sprung into
existence during the last few years.
The Acting Attorney General stated in reply that a draft Ordinance dealing with the question of gambling has been prepared and is at present under the consideration of the Government, and that the question of the so called Clubs has not been lost sight of.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 445.
The following is published for general information.
By Command,
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th October, 1890.
WEATHER-FORECASTS ISSUED FROM THE HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.
METEOROLOGICAL SIGNALS.
Meteorological signals are hoisted on the mast beside the time-ball at Kowloon Point for the information of inasters of vessels leaving the port. They do not imply that bad weather is expected here.
A Drum indicates a typhoon to the east of the Colony.
A Ball indicates a typhoon to the west of the Colony.
A Cone pointing upwards indicates a typhoon to the north of the Colony.
A. Cone pointing downwards indicates a typhoon to the south of the Colony.
Red signals indicate that the centre is believed to be more than 300 miles away from the
Co.ony.
Black signals indicate that the centre is believed to be less than 300 miles away from the
Colony.
NIGHT SIGNALS.
Two lanterns hoisted vertically indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to veer.
Two lanterns hoisted horizontally indicate bad weather in the Colony and that the wind is expected to back.
LOCAL STORM-WARNINGS.
The Colony itself is warned of approaching typhoons by means of the typhoon-gun placed at
the foot of the mast.
One round is fired whenever a strong gale of wind is expected to blow here.
Two rounds are fired when a typhoon is expected here.
Three rounds are fired whenever the wind is expected to shift suddenly during a typhoon.
NOTICE BOARDS.
Observations made at 10 a. and 4 p. are exhibited about 10 a. and 4 p. on notice boards placed at the Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company's Offices, at Peddar's Wharf, and at the Harbour Office.
The deductions drawn from the telegraphic information received is exhibited about 11 a. The China Coast Meteorological Register is exhibited about Noon (Sundays and Government Holidays excepted).
Information is exhibited also at other hours, day and night, whenever necessary while typhoons are raging in the Far East.
SPECIAL ENQUIRIES.
Masters of vessels who regularly send their observations to the Observatory may whenever necessary call at the Telegraph Company's Offices in Queen's Road and send telegrams to the Observatory asking for special information without charge. Such inquiries may also be sent from the Police Station at Kowloon Point, which is connected with the Observatory through a telephone line.
THE LAW OF STORMS.
Further information concerning the weather to be expected while signals are hoisted, and sailing directions, are given in a pamphlet "The Law of Storms in the Eastern Seas" published in September, 1886.

CIRCULAR.
SIR,-I have the honour to transmit, herewith, for publication in the Colony under your Govern- ment, a copy of the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1890 (53 & 54 Victoria, Chapter 37), to which I think it right to draw your attention, as some of its provisions bear upon Colonial matters.
For the convenience of your Government I also enclose a copy of an explanatory Memorandum by the Parliamentary Counsel.
I have the honour to be,
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
Foreign Jurisdiction Consolidation Bill.
MEMORANDUM.
KNUTSFORD.
The object of this Bill is to consolidate the Foreign Jurisdiction Acts with such amendments only as are necessarily incidental to the process of consolidation. The amendments appear from the following notes.
Section 4.
The words "or held under the authority of Her Majesty" are added to include courts established under the Foreign Jurisdiction Acts.
Section 5.
The Evidence by Commission Act, 1885, has been added to the Acts comprised in the schedule to the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1878, as being an enactment amending the Acts in that schedule.
Section 6.
Words have been added giving power to define by Order in Council what is meant by the expression "supreme criminal court."
""
Section 7.
In consequence of the alteration of the law with respect to penal servitude, sections 5 and 6 of the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1843, cannot be exactly reproduced. The new section reproduces in substance the power given by those sections of removing offenders for punishment, but substitutes the machinery provided by the more recent Colonial Prisoners' Removal Act of 1869.
Section 12.
This section sets out the provisions of 28 & 29 Vict. c. 63 instead of applying them by reference.
Sections 17. 18.
The Acts 24 & 25 Vict. c. 31, as to territories near Sierra Leone, and 26 & 27 Vict. c. 35, as to certain portions of South Africa, are practically superseded by section 5 of the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1878 (41 & 42 Vict. c. 67), which would extend to the whole of Africa and not merely to the limited portions mentioned in the above Acts. Accordingly an Order in Council could at any time supersede the provisions of those Acts. The Act 20 & 21 Vict. c. 75, as to Siam would have been unnecessary if the Order in Council to which it referred had been made since the passing of the later Act 29 & 30 Vict. c. 87. s. 1 (reproduced by section 9). The amending Act 33 & 34 Vict. c. 55, merely declared what court was to exercise jurisdiction under the previous Order in Council. This might now be done by a supplemental Order in Council. Accordingly it is proposed to repeal all these Acts as Acts, but to leave them in force as if they were Orders in Council issued under the present Bill.
A precedent for this course may be found in 37 & 38 Vict. c. 29 s. 3.
Sections 6 and 7 of the Pacific Islanders Protection Act, 1875, (38 & 39 Vict. c. 51), are in much the same position, but as the powers given by section 6 were mostly to be exercised by Orders in Council, slightly different language is required.

An Act to consolidate the Foreign Jurisdiction Acts.
A.D. 1890.
[4th August 1890.]
HEREAS by treaty, capitulation, grant, usage, sufferance, and other lawful means, Her Majesty the Queen has jurisdiction within divers foreign countries, and it is expedient to consolidate the Acts relating to the exercise of Her Majesty's jurisdiction out of Her dominions:
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. It is and shall be lawful for Her Majesty the Queen to hold, exercise, and enjoy any jurisdiction which Her Majesty now has or may at any time hereafter have within a foreign country in the same and as ample a manner as if Her Majesty had acquired that jurisdiction by the cession or conquest of territory.
2. Where a foreign country is not subject to any government from whom Her Majesty the Queen might obtain jurisdiction in the manner recited by this Act, Her Majesty shall by virtue of this Act have jurisdiction over Her Majesty's subjects for the time being resident in or resorting to that country, and that jurisdiction shall be juris- diction of Her Majesty in a foreign country within the meaning of the other provisions of this Act.
3. Every act and thing done in pursuance of any jurisdiction of Her Majesty in a foreign country shall be as valid as if it had been done according to the local law then in force in that country.
4. If in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in a court in Her Majesty's dominions or held under the authority of Her Majesty any question arises as to the existence or extent of any jurisdiction of Her Majesty in a foreign country, a Secretary of State shall, on the application of the court, send to the court within a reasonable time his decision on the question, and his decision shall for the purposes of the proceeding be final.
(2.) The court shall send to the Secretary of State, in a document under the seal of the court, or signed by a judge of the court, questions framed so as properly to raise the question, and sufficient answers to those questions shall be returned by the Secretary of State to the court, and those answers shall, on production thereof, be conclusive evidence of the matters therein contained.

5.-(1.) It shall be lawful for Her Majesty the Queen in Council, if She thinks fit, by Order to direct that all or any of the enactments described in the First Schedule to this Act, or any enactments for the time being in force amending or substituted for the same, sball extend, with or without any exceptions. adaptations, or modifications in the Order mentioned, to any foreign country in which for the time being Her Majesty has jurisdiction.
(2) Thereupon those enactments shall, to the extent of that jurisdiction, operate as if that country were a British possession, and as if Her Majesty in Council were the Legislature of that possession.
6.-(1.) Where a person is charged with an offence cognizable by a British court in a foreign country, any person having authority derived from Her Majesty in that behalf may, by warrant, cause the person so charged to be sent for trial to any British possession for the time being appointed in that behalf by Order in Council, and upon. the arrival of the person so charged in that British possession, such criminal court of that possession as is authorised in that behalf by Order in Council, or if no court is so authorised, the supreme criminal court of that possession, may cause him to be kept in safe and proper custody, and so soon as conveniently may be may inquire of, try, and determine the offence, and on conviction punish the offender according to the laws in force in that behalf within that possession in the same manner as if the offence had been committed within the jurisdiction of that criminal court.
Provided that-
(a.) A person so charged may, before being so sent for trial, tender for examination to a British court in the foreign country where the offence is alleged to have been committed any competent witness whose evidence he deems material for his defence and whom he alleges himself unable to produce at the trial in the British possession:
(b.) In such case the British court in the foreign country shall proceed in the examination and cross-examination of the witness as though he had been tendered at a trial before that court, and shall cause the evidence so taken to be reduced into writing, and shall transmit to the criminal. court of the British possession by which the person charged is to be tried a copy of the evidence, certified as correct under the seal of the court before which the evidence was taken, or the signature of a judge of that court:
(c.) Thereupon the court of the British possession before which the trial takes place shall allow so much of the evidence so taken as would have been admissible according to the law and practice of that court, had the witness been produced and examined at the trial, to be read and received as legal evidence at the trial:
(d.) The court of the British possession shall admit and give effect to the law by which the alleged offender would have been tried by the British court in the foreign country in which his offence is alleged to have been committed, so far as that law relates to the criminality of the act alleged to have been committed, or the nature or degree of the offence, or the punishment thereof, if the law differs in those respects from the law in force in that British possession.
(2.) Nothing in this section shall alter or repeal any law; statute, or usage by virtue of which any offence committed out of Her Majesty's dominions may, irrespectively of this Act, be inquired of, tried, determined, and punished within Her Majesty's domi- nions, or any part thereof.
7. Where an offender convicted before a British court in a foreign country has been sentenced by that court to suffer death, penal servitude, imprisonment, or any other punishment, the sentence shall be carried into effect in such place as may be directed by Order in Council or be determined in accordance with directions given by Order in Council, and the conviction and sentence shall be of the same force in the place in which the sentence is so carried into effect as if the conviction had been made and the sentence passed by a competent court in that place.
8. Where, by Order in Council made in pursuance of this Act, any British court in a foreign country is authorised to order the removal or deportation of any person from that country, that removal or deportation, and any detention for the purposes thereof, according to the provisions of the Order in Council, shall be as lawful as if the order of the court were to have effect wholly within that country.

This Standard Work on the hinese 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.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY.
Hourly Readings of Tides in 1887 and 1888.
The following hourly readings of tides, expressed in hundredths of a foot were obtained by aid of Sir WILLIAM THOMSON'S automatic tide-gauge, which was mounted in a hut in the boat basin belonging to the Police Station at Kowloon Point. This basin is situated in the south-western corner of the peninsula of Kowloon and occupies therefore a central position in the harbour of Hongkong. The waves are not much felt in this basin as the prevailing wind and waves come from the East.
At the bottom of the monthly tables are shown the mean monthly readings for the twenty-four hours. The readings for Mean Sea Level were deduced from them as follows:-

Six bench-marks have been placed on buildings in Kowloon. When the surface of the sea touches bench-mark No. 2 the scale reads 8.81. This has been determined from observations extended over two years. The heights in feet and decimals of the other bench-marks above No. 2 have been deter- mined by the Public Works Department :-

BILL ENTITLED " AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORISE THE APPROPRIATION OF A SUPPLEMENTARY SUM OF THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS AND Seventy- NINE CENTS TO DEFRAY THE CHARGES OF THE YEAR 1889."-The Acting Colonial Secretary moved the first reading of the Bill.

(C
BILL ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE TO APPLY A SUM NOT EXCEEDING ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS TO THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE YEAR 1891."-The Acting Colonial Secretary moved the First Reading of the Bill and laid on the table the Estimates for 1891.
The Acting Colonial Treasurer seconded.
Question-put and agreed to.
Bill read a first time.
The Acting Colonial Secretary laid on the table the following Minute by His Excellency with reference to the Estimates for 1891:-
The Officer Administering the Government has the honour to submit for the consider- ation of the Legislative Council the Estimated Revenue and Expenditure of the Colony for the year 1891.
2. The Estimates have been carefully prepared by the Acting Colonial Secretary. The work connected with them has been rendered more onerous than usual this year by reason of the re-adjustments of salaries in accordance with the Secretary of State's instructions. Every endeavour has been made to carry out the principles enunciated in the Despatch on the subject which has already been laid before this Council. In a matter of this kind, where certain exceptions have been made to the increases proposed, it is impossible that every one concerned should be perfectly satisfied. If, however, in some cases the intentions of the Secretary of State have not been carried out, or if there are others which would seem to deserve more indulgence than has been granted to them it will doubtless be competent to effect rectifications hereafter.
3. The Estimated Revenue for 1891 exclusive of any balance on hand at the end of this
year, and exclusive of premiums on Land Sales, is $1,952,098.
The Estimated Revenue for this year was $1,884,943. The amount estimated for 1891 therefore exceeds this by $67,155. But it should be borne in mind that the estimated. amount to be realized from Land Sales next year has been put down as only $100,000 whereas that for this year was mentioned as $300,000. The commercial depression which has existed for some time past has necessarily affected the sale of Government property, and it would have been undesirable to have sold at a time when, as a matter of certainty, but poor prices would have been obtained. The amount realized by the sale of lands this year instead
1112
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST NOVEMBER, 1890.
of exceeding $300,000 will, in all probability, not amount to $50,000. It is to be hoped, however, that an improved condition of affairs will enable the Estimate under this head to be reached during 1891.
4. The Officer Administering the Government informed the Council a short time since that the probable balance on hand at the end of this year would be $461,629, but since this announcement was made the Colony has been called upon to pay a larger amount than was. anticipated as representing the sum of ￡116,000 voted for Defence Works. About $20,000 will therefore have to be deducted from the $461,629. But on the other hand the impro- bability of all the amount estimated for Extraordinary Expenditure being spent will more than likely make up for this deficiency.
5 The Council is aware that one of our principal items of Revenue arises from the Opium Monopoly which according to present arrangements is to produce $177,600 a year. But an item of this nature being actually realized must necessarily depend upon certain contingencies and it is therefore our duty not to rely too implicitly upon such a source of income.
6. The estimated increases and decreases on the different items of revenue for next are principally the following.
year
There is an estimated increase in assessed taxes of $50,000 due to the increase in rateable tenements and to the gross receipt being estimated for 1891 without deduction for unoccupied houses, but this deduction has to be made good from expenditure.
There is also an estimated increase of $1,000 on carriage and chair licences an amount of over $10,000 having been received on this account during the first half of this year.
There is an increase of $3,000 estimated for spirit licences. The sum estimated under this heading last year was $41,000 whereas that obtained was $48,794.
There is also an estimated increase of $4,000 of fees from scholars at the Victoria College -the amount estimated last year under this head having been $10,000.
An increase from $65,000 to $75,000 is also contemplated for rents derived from market stalls and shops.
The estimated decreases are chiefly in the following items:-Boat licences from $5,700 to $5,000; Cargo boat licences from $7,500 to $7,200; Fines from $16,000 to $14,500; Hawkers' licences from $5,300 to $5,000; Emigration, which is on the decrease owing to the unwillingness of certain countries to receive Chinese, from $18,000 to $15,000; Lands other than those leased, but including Stone Quarries, from $30,000 to $28,000.
7. The revised estimated ordinary expenditure for 1891 is $1,674,780. The estimated extraordinary expenditure $920,279 instead of $804,279 as stated by the Officer Administer- ing the Government a short time ago, some omissions having been made in the draft estimates as originally prepared. This makes a total expenditure of $2,595,059 instead therefore of having a balance of $46,000 on hand at the end of 1891 there is an estimated deficit of about $100,000.
The Council has already been informed that the principal causes of additional ordinary expenditure are the increased Military Contribution from ￡20,000 to ￡40,000 a year, the additions to salaries amounting to about $47,000, the introduction of the Electric Light and the changes effected in the Audit Department.
Provision has been made for a Chief Assistant to the Observatory at a salary of $1,800 in accordance with the recommendation of the Commission.
A sum of $2,000 has been provided for the upkeep of the Epidemic Hulk now in course of construction.
The expenses of the Police Department have been somewhat increased in consequence of the recent changes which have been made in connection with it, while some additional cost has been proposed for the Gaol Department with a view of obtaining men from England to do duty as Turnkeys.
But the greatest increase on expenditure is caused by that estimated as necessary for Public Works.
As a proof of the continued increase of expenditure under this head it is worthy of remark that in the year 1875 the amount expended on the Surveyor General's Department, on Public Works and Buildings, Roads, Streets and Bridges amounted to $169,642 whereas for 1891 the estimated sum for the Surveyor General's, the Water and Drainage and the
!

*
Sanitary Departments amounts to no less than $920,279 while the total amount estimated for the construction of such Public Buildings as have actually been commenced or are in contemplation is $2,540,237, which will have to be further increased should a new gaol be constructed.
8. The Officer Administering the Government is fully sensible of effecting economy in so far as is possible. It is at all times difficult to lay down any hard-and-fast line as to how this is to be done, but there are many little ways in which those who are entrusted with the expenditure of public moneys can guard against needless expenditure.
The financial condition of the Colony may be regarded on the whole as satisfactory, the revenue being quite sufficient to meet any ordinary expenditure but while this is so and while not begrudging what is necessary for its development and general good the Officer Administering the Government entirely concurs that every prudence should be exercised in dealing with public moneys.

A NOTICE ON THE SUBJECT OF VACCINATION.
Notice is hereby given that, as The Vaccination Ordinance, 1890, has been in force since the 1st October, the parent or guardian 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 Vacci- nator. After the vaccination has been successfully carried out, a certificate has to be granted by the Vaccinator, and that certificate must be lodged at the Registrar General's Office within seven days after the vaccination. 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 certi- ficate must be renewed every two months until the vaccination has been successfully completed.
All persons who do not comply with this law shall be duly notified, and if within one month 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 ($5); and if they then refuse to cause their child to be vaccinated, they shall forfeit a sum not exceeding fifty dollars ($50): Provided always that no parent or guardian shall be liable to any penalty or punishment for not having his child vaccinated at any time between the 1st May and the 30th of September in any year, both days
inclusive.
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 following Finding of a Marine Court of Enquiry is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th November, 1890.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
FINDING.
We find that the British Schooner Yacht Nyanza, Official No. 56,809 of Glasgow, of which, JAMES CUMMING DEWAR was Owner, and JOHN CARRINGTON, Sailing Master, the number of whose Certificate is unknown (being lost with the ship) was on or about July last on a voyage from Kusaie (Caroline Group) to Ponape (Caroline Group).
The Nyanza was a vessel of 131 tons Lloyds Register, and 218 tons Yacht measurement. She was a composite built vessel belonging to the Royal Northern Yacht Squadron.
From the evidence before the Court, it appears that the vessel was well found, sufficiently manned and seaworthy.
That between the 21st and 28th July, light Easterly winds with variable currents had been experienced. On the 28th July, at Noon, the ship was placed, by observations made by the Owner, the Sailing Master and the First Mate, in Lat. 6.56 N. and Long. 158.53 W., which position placed her 32 miles E. N. (Mag.) of the Island of Ponape.
During the afternoon of that day, light airs from East were experienced and a W.b. N. course (Comp.) 6. E. dev. was steered till midnight when it was altered to W.N.W. (Comp.) 8°. E. dev. but there is nothing to confirm the position of the ship at that time.
About 1.10 A.M. on the 29th, the vessel struck on the reef on the N. E. side of the Island, and eventually became a total loss.
The log, chart, &c. being lost, the Court has no means of verifying the different positions of the ship, and must therefore be guided entirely by the evidence.
The Mate, a Certificated Officer, was on deck in charge of the watch after midnight, but he did not know where the ship was with reference to the reef, as he says, he never saw the chart and did not ask to see it.
Soon after she struck, the Captain came on deck, the sails were lowered and the boats got out, but nothing further was done to save the ship.
The Court having regard to the circumstances before it are of opinion that the Master was in error in that he did not exert himself to verify the position of the ship on the afternoon of the 28th, further that he did not remain more constantly on deck on the night of the 28th before the ship struck.
Further, we are of opinion that steps should have been taken either by letting go an anchor or by any other means to prevent the ship driving further on the reef, and the Court are unable to agree with the Master in his opinion that this would have been of no avail, on the contrary they think that it might have been the saving of the ship.
Also we are of opinion that after obtaining help, some attempt should have been made to heave the vessel off. We recognize that there existed difficulties, and are not prepared to say that these could have been overcome, still we think that an attempt should have been made.
These errors of the Master we do not consider amount to wrongful acts or defaults, and we therefore do not deal with his Certificate, but we think it will be well for him to avoid like errors in future.
The Court must express the opinion that the services of the 1st Mate, ROBERT GEORGE, do not appear to have been of much use in the navigation of the ship, and that if the cross bearings taken by him during the afternoon had been made use of, it is possible that it might have averted the disaster,
Given under our hands this 5th day of November, 1890, at Hongkong.

This Standard Work on theChinese 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 ofChina, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo gical guide to the student.
A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

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

This Standard Work on theChinese 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.

2. Is the Government aware that there is a very great scarcity of water in the Western district at the Peak, and will the Government state what measures they are taking, or propose to take, to meet the emergency ?

proceeding has been levied by seizure and sale of his goods or property under process.
(f.) If he filles in the Court a declaration of his inability to pay his debts in the Form No. 2 of Schedule A or presents a bankruptcy petition in Form No. 3 of Schedule A against himself. (g.) If a creditor has obtained a final judgment against him for any amount and execution thereon not having been stayed has served on him in Hong- kong or by leave of the Court elsewhere a bank- ruptcy notice under this Ordinance requiring him to pay the judgment debt in accordance with the terms of the judgment or to secure or compound for it to the satisfaction of the creditor or the Court and he does not within the time allowed by the Civil Procedure Rules for appearance to a writ of summons either comply with the require- ments of the notice or satisfy the Court that he has a counter-claim set-off or cross-demand which equals or exceeds the amount of the judgment debt and which he could not set up in the action in which the judgment was obtained.
(h.) If the debtor gives notice to any of his creditors that he has suspended or that he is about to suspend payment of his debts.
(2.) A bankruptcy notice under this Ordinance shall be in the Form No. 4 of Schedule A hereto and shall be issued to a judgment creditor by the Registrar upon the filing of a request in the Form No. 5 of the said Schedule.
Receiving Order and appointment and duties of the Official Receiver.
5. Subject to the conditions hereinafter specified if a debtor commits an act of bankruptcy the Court may on a bankruptcy petition being presented either by a creditor or by the debtor make an order (Form No. 8 of Schedule A) called a "receiving order" for the protection of the
estate.
6. (1.) A creditor shall not be entitled to present a bankruptcy petition against a debtor unless -
(a.) The debt owing by the debtor to the petitioning creditor or if two or more creditors join in the petition the aggregate amount of debts owing to the several petitioning creditors amounts to two hundred dollars and
(b.) The debt is a liquidated sum payable either
immediately or at some certain future time and (c.) The act of bankruptcy on which the petition is grounded has occurred within six months before the presentation of the petition and
(d.) The debtor or if he is a member of a firm and the proceedings are against the firm his partner or one of his partners is domiciled in Hongkong or within a year before the date of the presentation of the petition has ordinarily resided or had a dwelling- house and the debtor or his firm has within the same period had a place of business in Hongkong. (2.) If the petitioning creditor is a secured creditor he must in his petition either state that he is willing to give up his security for the benefit of the creditors in the event of the debtor being adjudged bankrupt or give an estimate" of the value of his security. In the latter case he may be admitted as a petitioning creditor to the extent of the balance of the debt due to him after deducting the value so estimated in the same manner as if he were an unsecured creditor.
7. (1.) A creditor's petition (Form No. 6 of Schedule A) shall be verified by affidavit of the creditor or of some person on his behalf having knowledge of the facts and served in the same manner as a writ of summons. It shall not be heard until the expiration of eight days from the service thereof unless by leave of the Court on good cause shown.
(2.) At the hearing the Court shall require proof of the debt of the petitioning creditor of the service of the petition which may be effected in the same way as the service of a writ of summons and of the act of bankruptcy or if more than one act of bankruptcy is alleged in the petition of some one of the alleged acts of bankruptcy and if satisfied with the proof may make a receiving order in pursuance of the petition.
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH NOVEMBER, 1890. 1173
(3.) If the Court is not satisfied with the proof of the petitioning creditor's debt or of the act of bankruptcy or of the service of the petition or is satisfied by the debtor that he is able to pay his debts or is satisfied that there are and will be no substantial assets for division amongst the creditors or that for other sufficient cause no order ought to be made the Court may dismiss the petition. A debtor intending to show cause against a petition shall file with the Registrar a notice(Form No. 10 of Schedule A) specifying the statements in the petition he intends to dispute and shall serve upon the petitioning creditor or his solicitor a copy of such notice two days before the day on which the petition is to be heard.
(4.) Where the debtor appears on the petition and denies that he is indebted to the petitioner or that he is indebted to such an amount as would justify the petitioner in pre- senting a petition against him the Court on such security (if any) being given as the Court may require for payment to the petitioner of any debt which may be established against him in due course of law and of the costs of estab- lishing the debt may instead of dismissing the petition stay all proceedings on the petition for such time as may be required for trial of the question relating to the debt.
(5.) Where proceedings are stayed the Court may if by reason of the delay caused by the stay of proceedings or for any other cause it thinks just make a receiving order on the petition of some other creditor and shall thereupon dismiss on such terms as it thinks just the petition in which pro- ceedings have been stayed as aforesaid.
(6.) A creditor's petition shall not after presentment be withdrawn without the leave of the Court.
8. (1.) A debtor's petition (Form No. 3 of Schedule A) shall allege that the debtor is unable to pay his debts and the presentation thereof shall be deemed an act of bankruptcy without the previous filing by the debtor of any declaration or inability to pay his debts and the Court shall thereupon make a receiving order.
(2.) A debtor's petition shall not after presentment be withdrawn without the leave of the Court.
9. The Governor may at any time after the passing of this Ordinance and from time to time appoint such person as he thinks fit to be Official Receiver of debtor's Estates under this Ordinance and may remove such person from such office. The Official Receiver shall act under the general authority and directions of the Government and shall also be an Officer of the Court.
10. (1.) On the making of a receiving order the Official Receiver appointed under this Ordinance shall be appointed to act with respect to the property of the debtor and there- after except as directed by this Ordinance no creditor to whom the debtor is indebted in respect of any debt provable in bankruptcy shall have any remedy against the property or person of the debtor in respect of the debt or shall com- mence or continue any action or other legal proceedings or take out or proceed with any execution against the pro- perty or person of the debtor unless with the leave of the Court and on such terms as the Court may, impose.
(2.) But this section shall not affect the power of any secured creditor to realise or otherwise deal with his security in the same manner as he would have been entitled to realise or deal with it if this section had not been passed.
(3.) If at the date of the receiving order the debtor is a prisoner under an execution for a civil debt, he shall not be entitled to his release unless by order of the Court but the Court in its discretion may order his release either uncon- ditionally or subject to such conditions as it may deem fit to secure the debtor's presence at the subsequent proceed- ings or otherwise.
11. (1.) The Court if it thinks fit may at any time after the presentation of a bankruptcy petition and before a receiving order is made appoint the Official Receiver to be Interim Receiver of the property of the debtor or of any part thereof and direct him to take immediate possession thereof or of any part thereof including all books of account and other papers and documents belonging to the debtor and relating to his business.
(2.) At any time after the presentation of a bankruptcy petition the Court may stay any action execution or other legal process against the property or person of the debtor or allow it to continue on such terms as it may think fit.
12. In cases where it is desirable that the debtor's busi- ness be temporarily carried on and it is inconvenient for the Official Receiver to carry it on the Court may appoint a special manager for the purpose to act under the direction

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 ofChina, 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 Furnames, will be published and sold separately.

A BILL
ENTITLED
The Gambling Ordinance, 1890.
HEREAS it is expedient to consolidate and amend the law relating to public gambling and whereas the laws heretofore made in respect of gambling have not proved sufficient to prevent the mischief arising therefrom and whereas doubts have arisen whether certain houses alleged or reported to be opened for the use of subscribers only or not open to all persons desirous of using them are to be deemed common gaming houses.
Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-
1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Gambling Ordinance, 1890.
2. The expression Magistrate as used in this Ordinance
means a Police Magistrate.
The expression Place as used in this Ordinance, shall mean and include any house, room, office, agency, boat, vehicle or vessel, or any erection moveable or otherwise, or any spot on land or water. The word Gambling as used in this Ordinance shall
apply to and include lotteries.
Lottery includes any game, method or device whereby money or money's worth is distributed or allotted in any manner depending upon or to be deter- mined by chance or lot whether the same be held, drawn, exercised or managed within or without the Colony.
A place in which lottery tickets are sold, procured or distributed or any place in which money or money's worth in connection with the lottery is paid or distributed, shall be deemed to be "kept for the purpose of a lottery."
The expression implements or appliances of gambling includes all articles which are used in or for the purpose of gambling or a lottery.
Common gaming house shall mean and include any place opened, kept, or used for playing therein at any game of chance or any mixed game of chance and skill
(1.) In which a bank is kept by one or more of the players exclusively of the other or others, or (2.) In which any game is played the chances of which are not alike favourable to all the players including among the players, the banker or other person by whom the game is managed or against whom the players stake, play, or bet.
3. A place shall be deemed to be opened, kept or used as a common gaming house or for the purpose of a lottery when gambling is one of the main and principal objects for which the said place is opened, kept or used although such place is also used as an ordinary social club, and the public at large have not access thereto.
4. Keeper shall mean and include the occupier, or person having the use temporarily, of any place kept or used as a common gaming house or for the purpose of a lottery or
Any person having or appearing to have the care or management of such place and also any person who shall act in any manner assisting in conducting the business of any such place or keeping watch in or about the same.
5. In case of any complaint laid under this Ordinance, it shall not be necessary to prove that any person found playing at any game was playing for any money, wager or stake.
6. Any person being the owner of any house who shall knowingly permit the same to be opened, kept, or used by another person as a common gaming house shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars.
The expression owner as used in this section shall mean and include the holder of any tenement direct from the Crown, whether under lease, licence, or otherwise; or the immediate landlord of any tene- ment, or the agent of any such holder or landlord who is absent or under disability.

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

The Council met pursuant to adjournment.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 24th November, 1890, were read and confirmed. PAPERS.-The Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Officer Administer- ing the Government, laid on the table the Report of the Select Committee appointed to examine into the details of the Estimates for 1891; with addenda by the Un-Official Members.
Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD, pursuant to notice, moved the following resolutions :-
1. That in re-adjusting the salaries of Government officials in Hongkong, all personal allowances, special grants, fees of office and other payments of a like nature should be abolished, and the salary in local currency of each officer be a fixed sum to include, where possible, all allowances. 2. That with a view to get rid entirely of personal allowances for length of service or special merit,
there should be for each office a minimum and maximum salary with a periodical rate of increase, and that no more than the maximum salary should under any circumstances be paid.
3. That within the limits so fixed the salaries of the present occupants of the various appointments
be settled by the Committee of Council, with regard to length of service and personal merits of the officers, subject of course to the approval of the Secretary of State.
4. That to prevent the evil effects constantly arising in certain departments from frequent changes of officers, it be laid down as the rule that, unless under very exceptional circumstances, the occupants of the undermentioned offices are not entitled to and are not to look for any pro- motion, acting or permanent, out of their own departments. The offices are: Registrar and Deputy Registrars Supreme Court, the Police Magistrates, the Land Officer, and the Chief Clerk at the Magistracy; the occupants of these offices to be legally qualified when fresh appointments are made to them in the future, the Interpreters of the Supreme Court, and the Clerk of Councils and Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office.
1232
THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH DECEMBER, 1890.

FINDING.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
We find that the Pembrokeshire was a British steam vessel schooner rigged three masted of 1,717 tons registered tonnage, Official No. 85,171 of London, of which ship. JAMES DANCASTER holding a Master's Certificate, No. 86,305 issued at Padstow, dated the 22nd November, 1871, was Master.
It appears from the evidence before the Court that she sailed from Singapore on the 7th day of November, 1890, with a general cargo bound for Hongkong. She experienced a moderate N.E. monsoon and squally weather until arriving in the latitude of Cape Padaran from the Paracels up the force of the monsoon was almost equal to a fresh gale and cloudy.
The last observations obtained for longitude were on the forenoon of the 13th November. These sights do not appear in any way to have been checked. The latitude by meridian altitude on the 15th was unsatisfactory the weather being cloudy. From noon on the 15th a course. was shaped for the Gap Rock. At 9.50 P.M. on the 15th the engines were stopped and soundings obtained in 23 fathoms. The course was then continually altered to the North and Westward to N. by W. at 10.45 P.M. soundings were again obtained in 18 fathoms.
This appears to have induced the Master to think that he was West of his reckoning; he, however, proceeded full speed 8 knots till land was observed at 11.30 P.M. bearing half a point on the port bow. At 11.45 P.M. the engines were stopped and soundings were taken in 3 fathoms immediately afterwards the ship struck.
The Court having regard to the circumstances above stated finds as follows: that the Master was guilty of wrongful default in approaching too near to the land when not certain of his position, and that the navigation was careless and untrustworthy, further having regard to the steps taken to heave the vessel off after being stranded, the Court finds that proper, prompt and seamanlike steps were not taken and orders that the Master JAMES DANCASTER'S Certificate No. 86,305 be suspended for six months from this date.
Given under our hands at Hongkong this eighth day of December, 1890.

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 ofChina, 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. List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

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