BOATPEOPLE TRICKED.
The joys of the Chinese New Year days have their visions to the boat people and especially to B wily rogue who se machinations resulted in all their savings being transferred to his own pockets. This was the story: The rogue set up A loan Association, towards which con- tributions were made by some hundreds of boatpeople. With the near approach of the Chinese New Year, the funds had swollen to such an amount that it paid him to abscond with it and enjoy a prosperous New Year. Yesterday, with the idea of investing their savings in New Year pleasures, these boatpeople paid a visit to the office of the Association to find that the bird had flown. In an uncontrollable fit of temper they smashed up all the office furniture! and divided among them- selves the $276 which theirj absconded trustee had the grace! to leave behind out of the funds. The demonstration reaching a noisy stage the Police came and dispersed all the disappointed boatpeople.
INDO-CHINA S.N. CO.
LORD INCHCAPE MAY VISIT| HONG KONG.
A Reuter's telegram dated London, February 12, states Lord Inchcape (chairman of the P.&.0. Company) is now visiting India it is understood in connec- tion with the organisation of the P. & O. Bank. It is also reported that he will probably extend his voyage to China. If so, says the! Financial News,, important deve lopments may be expected-on the nature of which the recen: rise in shares of the Indo-China: Navigation Company will throw some light. The
newspaper
declares that the ultimate con- nection of the two companies is almost a foregone concluson and it may reasonably be expected that Lord Inchape's travels wil result in the pourparlers which have occurred being brought to a definite head.
