An Extract from the "Sun Tan Yat Po" of the 20th October, 1906.

Further news regarding the construction of the Canton-Whampoa Railway.

As have reported lately that the construction of the Canton-Whampoa Railway would be suspended for the present. Later on we have learned that Viceroy Shum has insisted that his power should not be interfered with and that the construction must be carried on on his responsibility. He has detailedly discussed this matter with M. M. Cheung, Lord High Chamberlain. It is believed that the construction of the railway will be commenced shortly and there will be no delay.

As to the opening of Whampoa to be a Treaty Port which Viceroy Shum and M. M. Cheung have jointly memorialised to the Throne and received the Imperial sanction to do so. M. M. Cheung's opinion is, as we understand, that the matter should be laid aside until affairs should be properly managed regarding the Canton-Whampoa Railway. The latter is now under the consideration of the Authorities.
