The popularity of Dr. S. J. Ho, head of the President's Office, who has conducted affairs on behalf of General Pau, whilst the latter held the post of Railway President, is evinced by the number of farewell dinners that are being given in his honour by different officials and public organizations. Dr. Ho, who has resigned from his post, though the had been asked to remain by the new President, will leave for Peking in the course of the next week or so. He has been in Harbin for over five years, being for over three years a Railway Direefor and is more aw courant with affairs than any other Chinese, so that his loss to the railway' will be felt in Chinese circles.
