OBJECT OF THE STRIKE ATTAINED.

Shanghai, June 10.

A Mandate has already been issued allowing Tso Yu-lin's, Luk Chung-yu's and Chang Chung-cheong's resignations. Upon receipt of the above news, the Shanghai Press Association issued a notification advising all shopkeepers to resume business since the objects of the strike have been realised. The Chamber of Commerce also issued a notification persuading the shopkeepers to re-open their shops, but so far the plea has not been heeded.
