Two, Who at Dinner Given Favor
Stopping of Boycott, Are Set Upon .
by More Radical Tradesmen
and Injured Riot Averted.
VICTORIA. B. G, Nov. 56. (Special.)
The steamer -Teucer. which arrived
from the Orient, brings further particu
lars of the anti-Japanese rioting which
took place at Hongkong a few weeks
ago. In speaking of the trouble a
local newspaper points out that the real
explanation of the riots may be looked
for In a meeting which was held in
Hongkong about two weeks previous
to tho outbreak.
Since the Tatsu Maru affair the Chi
nese In Hongkong have been actively
co-operating with their fellows in Can
ton, and a strong combination of the
guilds has enabled heavy fines to be
Inflicted on all who traded in Japa
nese yoods. Fourteen days before the
riots a big Chinese dinner took place
In Hongkong, at which representatives
of the various 'guilds were present. The
dinner soon became a meeting, not
withstanding the Registrar-General's In
terdiction. Discussion was carried on
as to the advisability of stopping the
boycott, but it was decided to con
tinue the movement against the Japa
nese. Much fellng was displayed.
Two men who refused to agree to the
continuance were marked out by some
of the more hitter partisans. One of
these men was set upon afterward at
night and part of his ear cut off. The
other mnn waa attacked shortly after
and roughly handled. A number of
offending Chinese shops were also at
tacked, but the police were active and
succeeded In breaking up any gangs.
It 13 the general opinion that the
whole affair was carefully planned
and only the effective police work pre
vented a riot on a large scale.
