Peking,
2nd April 1892.
I have the honour to enclose herewith to Your Excellency copy of a despatch which I have received from Her Majesty's Acting Consul at Canton, transmitting translation of a Memorial from the Viceroy on the attempted rebellion in Canton last autumn.
Her Majesty's Acting Consul calls attention to the ill-feeling engendered by the extradition law, and suggests that the inclusion of sedition amongst extraditable offences, under stringent conditions, would effect a great deal towards conciliating the Provincial Government at Canton.
I have the honour to request Your Excellency's views as to the possibility of anything being done in the matter.
I have etc.,
Rd. Claude Macdonald
His Excellency,
Sir William Robinson, K.C.M.G.
