between the two Police Departments which consisted as you are aware chiefly of reciprocal action in a variety of petty details, was mainly reached by verbal discussion and has not even now been embodied in any formal document. Questions of Emigration, Subsidiary Coinage, and the regulation of newspapers, Extradition &c., have in the past been and still are being conducted through the Consul-General who is fully recognised by this Government as the proper channel of communication with the Canton Authorities, and I have explained the circumstances in which an informal allusion to them was made in conversation in

The question of the Working Agreement forms an exception to this rule, both because the negotiations are of a very technical nature, and because they in no way concern the Viceroy who is excluded from any voice in the matter by his ow Government. For this reason I proposed to appoint two Officers of this Government to negotiate directly with the nominees of the Chinese Government and the Secretary of State in a Confidenti -al Despatch dated 27th. May, 1910, approved this proposal in the following terms:- "I have now to express my approval of the "appointment of Messrs. Lindsey and Clementi to negotiate with "Mr. Wei Han on behalf of the Hongkong Government". This arrange- -ment was well known to the Consul-General and when I myself took up the negotiations direct with the Chinese Government in Peking in October last Mr. MaxMuller who acted for Your Excellency at the time, was equally well aware of the procedure adopted and

with the Viceroy was limited to suggesting to him (as the person who would possibly ultimately benefit or suffer financially from the results of the Working Agreement) that it would be
