Cover voting Cantonese, en route to, and returning, who come to by the
the Fos railway was handed to the "British King, with as
proved the happiest results.
There does not appear to be any insurmountable
difficulty why the Fo-loon section should not be placed
under the working arrangement of the British Consul-
General at Canton, after a satisfactory agreement which
will safeguard the mutual interests of the contractors in

will hesitate to entrust management of their line from
the frontier to Mukden, to confirm that this section will
eventually be linked in with the rest of the main line to
Mukden, now under experimental construction, the com-
pletion of which may perhaps eventually become an Imperial
project.
