Despatch of

28 July 1813.

Extract from Chung Kwok Yat Po, Canton, 9th. December, 1912.

Recent circumstances of the Tramway.

A letter from our correspondent in Hongkong reads as follows:-

During the last few days though two or three

passengers are seen travelling by each tram car, yet these are

either employes of the Company or Chinese detectives. Further the

Company under cover of night sent persons to take several books of

free tickets to the various stations and distribute them to the

pedestrians who happened to pass by, but nobody took them. Further

the Company sent many books of 50 tickets each to the various

Police Stations to be distributed among the interpreters, constables

and servants, with a view to misleading the public and slackening

the boycott. However, this cunning trick became known to the

people and the boycott continued unabated. Further, the shops under the various Guilds have all forbidden their employees to patronise

the cars and disobedience renders the offender liable to dismissal.

The whole course of the Tramway is still guarded by soldiers and

constables, armed with truncheons and patrolling in bodies of 5 or

6 persons, while at Shaukiwan, Tung Lo Wan and the part between the Central Market and Eastern Street, they are especially numerous

Today the Registrar-General convened in writing a

meeting of the proprietors of the various hotels and boarding houses

to discuss the matter and addressed them as follows:-

"The Company does not mean to show hostility to

Chinese silver and I hope that none of you entertain any such mis-

-understanding. Moreover since exportation of silver coins is pro-

-hibited at Canton, the action of the Company is not only lawful as

regards business transactions but also helps the Canton Government

to carry out its prohibition. (Who can believe this ?) I hope that

you will inform all of your relatives and customers that so no

misunderstanding may be cherished". (This address bears some

resemblance to the notification issued on the 30th. ultimo.)

* Notiby Registrar General.
