As I stated in a previous communication, H.E. Viceroy Chow Fu has interested him-elf very keenly in railway matters, making close personal investigation into the condition ri affairs, more especially those of the Yuet-han railway. As a result of this it is stated that H.E.

is very much dissatisfied with the con dition of the affairs of that concern, which, it Ik waid, he considers very unsatisfactory. On this account H.E. the Viceroy intends to con vene a meeting of the Elders and merchants of.
