If X = 70 cents and Y = 22 miles, and the length

3080/926 = 1.053 cents per mile.
Our charge for 22 miles is, therefore, cents 1.053 x 22 - 22.166
cents, 1.0. out of 70 cents the British Section gets 22.166
cents, while the Chinese Section gets 47.834. cents.
On the other hand, if the British Section takes two-fifths and
the Chinese three-fifths, the former will take 28 cents and the
latter 42 cents.

On the other hand, if the British Section takes half and the
Chinese Section the other half, each will get 50 eants.
It will be seen, therefore, that, in order to
leave a margin for a haggle, we asked yesterday
(a) for the run to Canton 5.834 cents

for the run to chatoung code conta
more than asked for in the Working Agreo- -ment.
The matter may be làoked at from another point of
view, however. The actual mileages are as follows:-
Kowloon to Sham Chun - 22 miles (British Section). Sham Chun to Sheklung - 48.58 miles - 88.73 miles, say 89 Sheklung to Canton = 40.15 miles
miles (Chinese Section).
