meeting as to whether they approve of Dr, Man- mon's proposal?'
The CRATUMAN-Wo we going to got it now. Mr. FRAMER-SMITH-I beg pardon, you are not. You are putting a substantive resolution of quite a different character.
Mr. FEANCIS ssid this was merely a prepara- tory resolution. If the general fealing was in favour of the scheme those present world vote for the resolution, and it gave any person opposed to it an opportunity of expressing his opinion by voting against it. If it was rejected, it would be clear the sens ut the meeting was against Dr. Manson's proposal, but if it was carried it would show the sense of the meeting was in favour of the sobers while it would bind them to nothing.
Mr. PDACTA SHIT sabi Mr. Franois' explan stion was ingenious, but the resolution was on tirely out of order. The proper course would be to move the dimer question of an adjournment and allow the proposer and senter of Dr. Manson's scheme to get the details. It was goito unasessary to apponit a Committes of five, which seemed au outrageous way of doing basis. The system of self-appointed Com mittees in Hongkong was going too far. He proposed that the meeting adjourn.
The CHAIRMAN-I think you had better op- point four gentlemen with Mr. Stewart Look hart, the seorotary, so that they can go to work at duce. You will never get a better chance:
Mr FRASEL SMITR Mid the proposer and atcender could get all the information required at once, while a Committee of tire would take two months to do it.
Mr. CROW seconded the adjournment, and
retnarked that if Dr. Manson was entitled to a Committee to sit on his shame be Me Crow had the same right to have a Committee to sit
op his.
