General Luk replied us follows:- "Owing to lack of sime, I regret that I have not been able carlier to come and meet you, gentlemen. Kindly excuse The first thing I have to consider is
so rife in the Province. We must make our utmost endeavours to bring it to an end. The next thing I want to refer to is the financial difficulties of the Province. I hope you gentlemen will. take steps to employ some means to lighten these difficulties: The present condition in Canton is quite settled, and from this day I believe that no more troubles will be experienced. It is really time for you, gentlemen, to explain to those people who have fled to Hongkong and Macao that they may safely return to this city in order to resume their usual business.
