With regard to what you have said se to the difioulty which exists of being able to gain the approval of both mecolinula here and the evthorities në Loms. I would rebusck that the solution of such a problem is simple. This frot albuld be borne in mind, that the intermate of the parties, are identical. You are here to promote commerce and thus to advazoo British interests, and Britiab | interests are of course the and and aim of Rez Majesty's Government.

Eanpenting my ser vices in connection with the Imman erpadi tion, I fear you have taken far to flattering a view of what little I did. Then, as to the Swatow Guild case, gentlemen, it was a revelation to me all, It showed us that our worst enemies in China are not the officials, nor are they that abiadowy body which goes by the name of the liferati They are our conipradores and our uz-compra dores.

These difficulties have bees wuch increased of late by the presence of foreiga lawyers in the Miral Court.
