SHANGHAI DISORDERS

RESULT OF INQUIRY

Shanghai, December 23. The Municipal Council, in a letter to the senior Consul, says that notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the Judges of the Commission of Inquiry exonerate the police from blame in connection with the recent disorders, Mr. McEuen, Commissioner of Police, and Mr. Everson, Inspector jju charge of the Louza Stations, have tendered their resignations to the council, preferring, as always, to take such action as being most likely to promote a settlement of the question at issue The Consul decided to ' accept the resignations with expressions of appreciation fir the meritorious services these officers had rendered in the past. The council further desired to renew its expressions of regret at the loss of life on May 10, and as a mark of sympathy to those wounded and to tlie Telafives of those killed, enclosed a cheque for 70 000 dollars, which the council asked the Consul to transmit to the Chinese Foreign Commissioner for distribution to those concerned as a compassionate grant.—Reuter.
