CANTÓN
957:
when Sun Yat Sen departed in November to participate in the conferences for the re-establishment of peace and good government in China, it brought a great sense of relief in business circles though little improvement was noticeable in the adminis- tration of Canton under Mr. Wu Hon Man down to the end of the year.
Another disgraceful episode of the year was a dastardly attempt to assassinate M. Merlin the Governor-General of Indo-China. The French community were enter- taining His Excellency at a dinner in the Victoria Hotel on the Shameen on the night of June 19th, when an Annamite threw a bomb into the room through the open window. Though the assassin missed his mark, he succeeded in killing five French residents and seriously injuring others. The miscreant himself was drowned in the river while trying to evade capture.
