With reference to the letter from this Department
of the 31st. of October, I am directed by Secretary
Sir E. Grey to transmit to you, to be laid before the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of a des-
patch from His Majesty's Minister at Peking with re-
gard to the telegraph line from the Chinese border
across the leased territory to Kowloon, which has hith-
erto been worked by the Imperial Chinese Telegraph
Administration.
Sir E. Grey concurs in the views expressed in the
two final paragraphs of the despatch and will be glad
to be favoured in due course with the Earl of Crewe's
observations thereon.
The Under Secretary of State

I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Th. Agmpbell.
