Campaign Against Hunghutze From Our Own Correspondent Vladivostok, June 30.
Though the east-bound mail train arrived at Harbin nearly on time, our departure was delayed for over an hour owing to the idiosynerades of the engine-driver who when two bells had actually rung uncoupled his locomotive and steamed away alone only returning some half an hour afterwards. Except for railway employees and their families who during the summer months prefer to live in the country seeing that travelling costs them nothing, there are but few foreigners on the trains, this fact being accounted for by' the total stagnation of business and trade in these parts. The Wagon-Lits Company have now a coach of theirs attached to each mail train, and roubles is by no means excessive though the extra charge of 16 gold
for the trip from Harbin to Vladivostok passengers, are few and far between. Owing to a continual downpour of rain very few persons were to be seen at the various stations along the line, nor were Chinese soldiers much in evidence they do not appear to care to take joy rides when it is wet.
