CANTON NEWS CONTINUES TO OCCUPY
THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE IN. THE WEEK'S NEWS. THE KWANGSI PARTY HAVE CONSOLIDATED THEIR 'HOLD ON CANTON, THE CITY IS QUIET AND ATTEMPTS ARE BEING MADE TO CO-OPERATE WITH THE MERCHANTS IN SETTING UP A STABLE GOVERNMENT, RESTORING THE CURRENCY AND GETTING THE COM MERCIAL LIFE OF THE PLACE BACK TÖ NORMAL
The merchants are making various demands in return for their support of a $10,000,000 loan. Particularly they are anxious that the labour movement should be suppressed and the Trade Union proscribed.
The 4th Army (Ironsides) who are hostile to the Kwangsi Government of Canton continue to retreat, but there has been no fighting." Much negotiating with regard to alliances are in progress among the generals, but Canton profoundly hopes it has seen the last of this supposedly redoubtable army.
In Hong Kong notable speeches on the work of
the Hong Kong University, on education generally and on the ideals that students should set before them were delivered at the annual Congregation by the Chancellor (H.E. The Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.OMG). and by the Vice-Chancellor (Mr. W. W.. Hornell, C.G.E.).
After a very long hearing James Christie a former
colonel in the British Army was sentenced to four months hard labour, and his confederate Christopher Bluhm to three months hard labour for conspiracy to defraud by means of a pretended sale of morphia.
Two cases involving intricaté questions of jurisdic. tion were heard at the courts. A dismissed Chinese official has beud a motor vessel!. He asks that this ship, now in Hong Kong harbour, shall be sold to recoup him for wages due from the defunent Peking Govern- ment. In the other case two former high officials of. Canton are charged with illega possession of $100,000.
