land along the sea front, of about 20,000 square feet, with the condition that they must build on it otherwise it would revert to

the company.

This idea was to force the shareholders to set an example and take the lead in settling on the settlement. So far as Sir Kai is concerned the question of salary is now gone and the benefit remaining for his family, if the scheme should materialise, will be the free share and the piece of land. But even if the scheme should become successful it would take at least two years before any result could be obtained, and, in the meantime, the question of how the family will be supported and the children educated becomes very serious. For the next few months, however, Sir Kai's family will be supported by the fund which was subscribed immediately after his death by Hessrs. Au Tack, Cheung Sun Too, Chan Kang Yue and S.W.Tso who each contributed a sum of $750 for funeral and other immediate expenses. After this fund is exhausted I am afraid there will be very hard time in store for the family.

As to the house No.45B Robinson Road in which Sir Kai resided it was bought for $22,500, of which sum $10,000 belong to Hladam Wu Ting Fang and $12,500 to Kr. Au Tack. No rent had been demanded from Sir Kai during his life time, and steps are being taken to ascertain whether ladam Wu will take up the whole house and allow Sir Kai's family to continue to refade there.

The above are the facts I have gathered, but before con- cluding this letter I feel I ought to make clear a certain remark addressed to me at Sir Kai's funeral, that is, that "Sir Kai had money but lost it all through the Revolution in China". First, Sir Kai never had at any time money to lose on anything as the facts abore stated point to its impossibility. Secondly Sir Kai had, in all his life, been in favour of Reformation and not Revolution in China. His writings and publications testify to his principles. He gave his advice for the better government of China to any one, The- ther a lanchurian Official or a Reformer or a Revolutionist, who approached him on the subject, but never received a cent from any one of them as fees, retainers, or otherwise, or derived any benefit directly or indirectly to himself or his family whatsoever.
