Paraphrase of telegram from Sir J. Jordan to Sir E. Grey
No.102 dated June 4th 1909.

Railway Loan.

JUE
I have had an interview with Liang and asked that an
assurance may be obtained from Chang-chih Tung regarding
the British and Chinese Corporation in the sense indicated
in your telegram No.103, last paragraph.
While promising to do all he could Liang urged the
importance of the Agreements being signed at once, as the
provinciel gentry are becoming very troublesome and the
Americans are reviving their claim to a share of the Chengtu
Railway.
