whether it was constructed by the Corporation or not. He
referred to the good offices of this Government to Chang
Chih Tung in connection with the redemption of the Canton-
-Hankow Railway, suggested that we might help the Viceroy
to get rid of the Corporation which would only have incur-
-red very small expenditure in connection with the line
hitherto, and hinted, by allusions to the Chinese difficul-
-ties in providing Chinese capital and Engineers, at the
Hongkong Government assisting also in these matters.
I then laid stress on the duty of China to
adhere to its engagements and again referred to the duty
of the British Government to support the British and Chinese
Corporation in getting their agreement fulfilled. I pressed
on him the desirability of the Viceroy negotiating with Mr.
C. H. Ross, the representative of the British and Chinese
Corporation due here on the 30th. instant and said I
would arrange for Mr. Ross to go to Canton if, after dis-
-cussing the matter with the Viceroy, he would let me know
through the Congul-General, that Mr. Ross's visit to Canton
would be of service in pushing the matter. He said it was
doubtful whether the Viceroy would wish to negotiate with
Mr. Ross but that he would see His Excellency on the sub-
-ject.
