the illegitimate influence of the Self-Goverment Society

over the Chinese of this Colony, and I therefore regret it.

I trust that His Majesty's Government may see fit to make

representations to the Chinese Government with a view to

their suppressing such organizations which form a serious

menace to the friendly relations of this Colony with the

neighbouring provinces of China, but I refrain from any

further representations in this direction since the matter

is already in the hands of His Majesty's Minister in Peking

who has no doubt expressed his views to His Majesty's

Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

I enclose a further letter with

enclosures from Mr. Law dated July 29th. On this day the

ex Viceroy of Canton arrived in the Colony and was enter-

-tained by me. After luncheon we proceeded over Messrs.

Butterfield and Swire's new docks, and then had tea on the

Japanese Ship "Chiyo Maru" which was in dock. I hope that

these public amenities may be taken as an indication of the

Viceroy's opposition both to the Japanese and the "Fatshan"

Boycotts.

I am hansmitting a afey of this despatch

& Si J. Jordan.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Hungary

Governor,&c..
