YEUNG KU WAN.

REVOLUTIONARY MARTYR'S REMAINS TO BE REMOVED.

AFTER 25 YEARS.

Mr. Tse Taan-tai has addressed the following letter to the "Re volution Remembrance Society" of Canton, and the Chinese News- paper Press Association.

Hong Kong, August 3, 1927. Dear Sir, I have read in the Chinese newspapers of Hong Kong the advertisement of the "Revolu tion Remembrance Society" of Canton, calling for information re- garding the descendents and' re- lations of the 72 Revolutionary heroes, who have been buried on the "Wong Fo Kong" hill at Can- ton, which painfully recalls to my memory the assassination of my dear friend and colleague, the Re- volutionary leader and patriot Yeung Ku-wan, at No. 52,. Gage Street. Hong Kong, on January 10, 1901.

The remains of this martyred Revolutionary leader are still lying in the Protestant Cemetery (Grave No. 6348) of Hong Kong, unknown and forgotten by the citizens of the Republic of China for whom he sacrificed his life, and I believe It is high time that his deeds should be made known to the 400,000,000 people of China, and that his remains should be re- moved and given a suitable and permanent resting place in China,

3. therefore, hope all the news- Papera and the citizens of the Re- public of China will not forget the patriotic labburs of the late Yeung Ky-wan, and that they will unité in moving the Government to hon- our his remains with a suitable and proper burial place in China, and permanently commemorate the date of his martyrdom.

In order to enable the critizens of the Republie to, know the Inte Yeung Ku-wan's real position as

leader of the Great Revolution, and to thoroughly appreciate the value and importance of his labours in the Cause of the Re- volution, I have now taken ad- vantage of this opportunity to send you and to publish the fol- lowing hitherto unpublished kis- torical documents and photographs, after 26 years' waiting, and which I have thought fit and proper, to withhold from publication, during the life-time and political activities of my old friend and colleague, the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen. 1-Photograph of members of the "Foo Yan Man Ser" Revolu- tionary Party (1891). 2.-Photograph of leaders of the

"Hing Chung Whup Revolu- tionary Party (1895). 3-Photograph of Yeung Ku-wan and members of the "Hing Chung Whut" of Johannes burg, South Africa (1897), 4.-Photograph of Yeung Ku-wan and members of the "Hing Chung Whui" of 'Pietermaritz burg, South Africa (1897);

5. Photograph of Young Ku-won, Sun Yat-sen and Japanese sympathisers taken in Japan in 1898. 6.-Photograph of letter addressed to Tse Tsan-tai by Sun Yat- aen in 1901, lamenting and de- ploring the assassination of Yeung Ku-wan.

Pen cannot describe my feelings, bat God has been just and merci- ful during these long years of waiting, in giving me this oppor- tunity to do my duty.

Yours, etc..

FALSE PRETENCES?

ELECTRICAL FITTINGS FOR TELEPHONES.

Mr. D. L. Strellett appeared be-; fóre Mr. R. E. Lindsell' this morn ing to defend a Chinese charged with obtaining $50 by false pre- tences.

Sergeant. Whant said that the accused was the proprietor of a small shop selling electrical fit- tings. He went to several houses which had recently applied for telephones, and promised to get the telephone installed within a specified time if they would pay him $50 for his trouble. He re- presented that he had influence with the Telephone Company. As a matter of fact, the Company had been refusing applicants in certain districts recently because there were no more switches Available. It was in consequence of complaints made by the Tele- phone Company that the police made inquiries and arrested the accused.

A week's formal remand was given on the Sergeant's applica-

·tion.

Mr. Strellett suggested bail of $100, but Sergeant Whant said that he had been instructed to ap ply for ball in the sum of $1,000. 'After some discussion, his Wor- ship fixed ball in the sum of $250, and two securities of $250 each.
