Sir:-

20 DEC 05

627 FOREIGN OFFICE.

December 23rd, 1905.

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to inform you that a despatch has been received at the Colonial Office from the Governor of Hongkong on the subject of the railway from Canton to Kowloon.

Sir M. Nathan states that the Viceroys of Canton and Wuchang both object to the amount of Two-million-pounds which the agent of the British and Chinese Corporation, Mr. Ross, proposed to enter in the blank space of Article 1 of the Loan Agreement.

Nathan points out that a loan of One million-five hundred thousand pounds from which the Chinese are to get One million three-hundred-and fifty thousand pounds provides, not only for the estimated cost of land, construction and equipment (One million-one hundred thousand pounds) but also for the interest and service of the loan during construction.

The Chairman,

British and Chinese Corporation Limited,

3, Lombard Street,

E.C.
