· [From Our Own Correspondent.]"

SWATOW, November 3rd.

I am giving below a few details of another so called "representative”. meeting at which spokesmen declared their intention of continuing, or renewing, the boycott. The meeting was, as usual; "representative not of all classes but of the extremists and agitators in all classes and it' is perhaps advisable to sound a note of warning in regard to any and all news concerned with reviewed boycott activity. The situation changes rapidly; often daily, sometimes hourly. It seems to the writer that there is a continual tug-of-war going on between extremists and moderates, and that the former, deprived of the pickets' support, are using lavishly a kind of moral frightfulness to bring about a return to the old order of things. About one Ib. of salt with each rumour is, in my opinion, a fair bet.
