TUESDAY'S MEETING.
Slr-In reply to the letter' pal- Hished yesterday from Mr. Thos. B. Rolland I don't think his argument] is a bit sound. Because I did not stand up in a crowded hall (a thing 1. have never done) and make a speech is no proof of my moral cowardice. Perhaps Mr. Rolland is one of those fortunate men pos- sessed of infinite nerve, but he must not forget that there are thousands of men só eonstituted" that they are unable to jump up and address:
crowded meeting although they might have very sound and cozent Ideas. contrary to those being ex- pressed. Further, I do not de- liberately hide behind a pseudonym In order to any things I would noti mind saying in publie if I had the ability but only because of a very special private reason.
The only thing I wanted to ex- press in my first letter was regreti that Mr. Fitzroy did not take him- self and his viewpoint a little more seriously, because I kumo thai] quite a number of men at the meet- ing do agree that resolutions, and telegrams from this Colony urging direct action of any kind against' those in power at Canton will be "viewed just as so much hysteria by
the Home authorities.

We understand that Mr. Carleton is now taking short leave in America, after which he will most ikely be appointed to a new post; as it is improbable that he will re- turn to the Far East. The many friends of both Mr. and Mrs. Carleton will wish them a happy holiday and will be deeply interest- ed in their future movements.
