It will be recalled that there has been considerable controversy regarding the farming out of the Chinese freight and passenger business resulting in a split in the directorate, of the Hongkong, "In A Monastery Garden," Canton and Macao Steamboat (Ketolbey). Company Sir Robert Ho Tung "in A Peraian Market," and his fellow Chinese directora urged that there should be a change of farmers or that the Company should operate ita steamers on its own account. It was maintained that the policy of the Company had resulted in the farmer being now in competition with the Company. A resolution moved at an extraordinary general meeting that the farming policy should be abandoned or that the Directors should give preference to a non-competitive tenderer, or on the Com- run the steamers pany's own account, was passed by A narrow majority.

CRIMINALS SHOWTM ACTIVITY.

ARMED ATTACK IN KING'S PARK.

A savage attack was made by six. Chinese armed with daggers who set upon a Chinese named Wong Yau, who was walking along a new road near the football ground at the back of the Club de Recreio in King's Park, late last night.

The victim was in the company of a Chinese girl, Ah Lan, and an- other young Chinese, but the six assailants concentrated their at- tack on Wong Yau, leaving the girl and the young man unmolested. The victim

wounded with three stabs in the body, but des- pite his wound he produced a police whistle and thus raised an alarm.

WAS

The six' assailants then bolted, running in the direction of No. 8 Railway Bridge, and according to the friend, who ran after the men, the desperadoes were last seen on Gascoigne Road. All of them were dressed in black, wearing shoes, and spoke the local dialect.

Nothing was stolen from the victim, who fell to the ground' after the attack, and it was with the assistance of a European who happened to pass there that he was taken to the Kowloon Hospital in an ambulance.

The outrage was reported to the police, but no arrest had been made up to mid-night.

Robbery at Tytam.

A highway robbery occurred yes- terday afternoon, at about five o'clock, when a Chinese, while walking along the Island Road near Tytam reservoir, on his way to Stanley, was attacked by three robbers who took away from him $4.85.

The robbers were, armed with two paint scrapers.

Snatching Incidents.

A snatching incident in which a Chinese was victimised to the ex- tent of $1,000 occurred in Queen's Rond yesterday evening, about 7.80; when a ruffian accosted a Chinese- named L Tien-sang, of Messrs. Hang Cheung Sing, Queen's Road Central, and snatched from his pocket a roll of bank notes worth $1,000.

The surprise attack caused con- siderable excitement in the road, and quite a nuráber of pedestrians witnessed the incident and saw the thief running towards Ice House Street, disappearing when he reach- ed Des Voeux Road Central

After a fruitless pursuit, the vic tim reported the incident to the Central Police Station.
