for the information of the Earl of Elgin that the

draft of a China and Corea Order in Council to amend

the China and Corea Order in Council 1904 is now in

Article 84 of the 1904 Order in Council dealing with

authorities in China with the small provision they

have in the minor ports to enforce order should not,
