ENVOYS MEET Representatives Endeavour Settle Trouble Amicably Under the joint chairmanship of Robert MacWhirter, Edward Kelly, and Major Cassel, representatives of the Peak and Kowloon factions met in the Jacobean Room of the Hongkong Hotel this morning, in an effort to eliminate the tension that is growing on both sides of the harbour.
It is nuthoritatively learned that' very little progress was made, the dologatos contenting themselves with shouting at each other. Major Cassel also wanted to shout, Bo they all adjourned to the bar. As Robert MacWhirter wouldn't shout, and Edward Kelly couldn't shout, they were thrown out on their necks.
Subsequent events can only be gloanod from-second-hand'sources of information; but it is evident that a free fight ensued, nearly all the delegates coming out on stretchers. Those who could still stand lonnt on oach othor's shoulders, singing their respective anthoma,
