COMMITTEE'S EXPLANATION. The Committee for the payment of the Canton-Hong Kong strikers has gives publicity to a letter addressed to the strikers, saying that as a result of the fire in the Tung Yuan some of the documents and books were lost and it sometimes happens that pay ment of allowance is delayed.

The letter points out that such delay is solely due to the procedure involved in re-making lists of strikers and that the current rumours accusing the Com- mittee of failing to pay, allowances are purely fabrications.

As to the identity of the gang, the Chinese lady who was robbed said that the leader had on several occasions sold her firewood. She said she would be able to identify him if arrested.

The traveller asserts that it is improb able that Marshal Wu will retire, despite the pressure that has been brought upon him.

Very different is the tone of a letter in which the Marshal is said to have replied to a complaint from Chao Hiuch Liang.

Marshal Wu writes:--
