The death of Sir Ewen Cameron, K.C.M.G., late London Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporn- tion, at the uggs of 67, at his house in Hampstead, though deeply regretted by the Anglo-Chinese colony in Lendon, was not unexpected, and as he was known to have beans greit auferer for years the regret was tempered with the consideration that release from pain must have been welcomed by him.

At a memorial service in Hampstead there were representatives of all the great frans trading in the. East and also of the Government, which from time to time used to consult him in regard to Chinese finances, In the city he is spoken of as a man of deep knowledge and unfailing courtesy.
