My Despatch No. 77 of yesterday had just been posted when Mr. Secretary Li again called with a message from the Tu Tu for transmission to Your Excellency.
#
The Tu Tu reciprocates the desire expressed in Your Excellency's message for the promotion and maintenance of the friend- -ly feeling which has long existed between Canton and Hongkong, but explains that it is no easy task to distinguish bad characters enter- -ing the Colony from persons proceeding thither on legitimate business, and he therefore finds difficulty in contriving practical measures to prevent the influx of undesirables. He can cause caution- -ary notices to be inserted in the Canton press, and, if permitted, in the Chinese newspapers published in the Colony. Also, lecturers, who are at present employed to educate the masses in the ideals of good government, can be instructed to improve the occasion by instancing the evils to society likely to result from ill-considered labour move- -ments or rowdyism generally.
Beyond this he does not see what assistance he can render, but should Your Excellency consider that action on these lines will result in benefit to the Colony, or if any further suggestions to compass the end desired can be made, the Tu Tu will be only too glad to co-operate in carrying out such measures as may be
in the circumstances deemed advisable.
