Canton, May 2.
May Day passed off quietly in Canton.
A mass meeting of 50,000 workers, mostly coolies, was held. The proceedings were conducted in a perfectly orderly manner.
The first number of a new Chinese labour weekly paper appeared yesterday.
A meeting of students was stopped by the police who feared the students might resolve to strike. Subsequently, however, the students secretly held an informal meeting as a result of which it is stated that they will probably strike as soon as their arrangements are perfected. The teachers, while favouring patriotic _demonstrations, have urged the students not to strike.-—Reuter.
