Confidential

My Lord,

With reference to my despatch, Very Confidential, No.193 of June 8th and to my telegram No.114 of June 13th, I have the honour to state that after the signing of the Peking Syndicate Agreements, reported in my despatch No.251 of July 15th, I did not consider it expedient, though privately informed that Sheng kung-pao had in a large measure reassured his position, to approach the Wai Wu Pu again on the subject of the Canton-Kowloon railway until I had some clearer indications of the course which the negotiations in regard to the Hankow-Canton railway loan (which will be reported in a separate despatch) were likely to take.

On July 12th I instructed Mr. Campbell to see Na tajen with the object of ascertaining the attitude of Sheng and of the Viceroy of Canton towards the contents of my summary of the draft agreements.

The Marquess of Lansdowne, K.G.,
