The explosion occurred at about three o'clock in the morning and the terrific noise caused a panic among the Chinese farmers near the station. The Nanking Govern- ment is organising an extensive investigation into the cause of the recent outrages with a view to ensuring the safety of the travelling officials, who include Mr. T. V.
