HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY JULY 26, 1905.
We take the following from the V. C. D. Netor of the 22nd inst. :—
An interview between Tseng Taulai, Chair- mari of the committee in charge of matters. The papers are full of surmises and con.lating to the Americ n boycott, and U. S. jectures concerning the date of a dissolution, but nothing is known for certain and there is no further development of the crisis.
The Liberal papers vehemently protest against the argument that foreign politics make resignation unadvisable.
The Government is not resigning.
Later.
Consul-General Rodgers, took place on Thurs day, the 20th instant, a report of which in the shape of a letter from Tseng Taolai appeared in the S nudaß so yesterday morning, a portion of which we transl
