His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General presents his compliments to the Tutu and begs to inform him that he is in receipt of a letter from His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong wherein complaint is made of certain action taken by Mr. Tsou of the Kuan Yin Ch'ien Chu. It appears that the latter, in conjunction with a Mr. Li, proceeded to Hongkong about the beginning of the month to discuss with the money changers there the question of Kuangtung notes, and that the result of a meeting held on the 4th. instant was the signing of an undertaking by those present to accept such notes as current at par and to deal with them as much as possible in preference to subsidiary coinage. This document was later taken round to the other money changers for their chops.
need hardly be said that Sir Henry May takes the strongest exception to such unwarrantable interference on the part of outsiders in the internal affairs of the Colony. He has instruct- -ed the Police to stop the farther circulation of the document in question and has informed those concerned that any serious attempt to foist Kuangtung notes on Hongkong will lead to the institution of legislative action for the protection of the Colony's currency.
The matter being one affecting principles of the great- -est importance, it is hoped that instructions may be issued to prevent the recurrence of incidents likely to militate against the intimate friendly relations which have always existed between Kuang- -tung and Hongkong.
