Canton.
For record in your Consulate we beg to hand you
the following information appertaining to this Railway:
On November 7th. under direction of the late
Viceroy H.E. Chang, traffic was suspended on this Railway, (copy of his proclamation enclosed) until November 12th.
On the 9th. November the Revolutionary flag
was hoisted throughout Canton and reopening of traffic was impossible as the Railway was absolutely without guard.
On the assurances of the Governor-eneral that
everything was in order throughout the Railway, an in- apection of the track was attempted on 13th November
but on reaching Sheklung the train was held up by an
armed mob and sent back to Canton. Mr. Lindsell of your
Consulate accompanied the train.
After further assurances had been given us by
the Provincial Government, we again visited Sheklung on
the 27th November and having found a guard of soldiers
posted at each station resumed traffic on the 28th November
between Tai Sha Tou and Sheklung. Mr. Combe of your
Consulate accompanied us on that occasion.
The Government could not give us any assurances
beyond this point.
On the 8th Becember a representative of the
