Sir:-
London.
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to state, for
the information of Mr. Secretary Harcourt, that it has been
found possible during the past month to secure the
attendance at this Office of Sir J. Jordan, Sir H. de
Sausmarez and Sir E. Fraser, in order to discuss the Draft
China (Companies) Order in Council. The results of the
first discussion have already been communicated to Mr.
Risley in a semi-official letter from Mr. Hurst, and it is
understood that he has had an opportunity of perusing the
Draft Order in its present form. The Draft Order as it
now stands has been accepted by all those who attended the
discussions, and I am to express the hope that the altera-
tions which have been made in the earlier Draft will meet
with Mr. Harcourt's approval.
Copies of the Draft Order are enclosed herewith. The
only amendments of substance are those which have been made
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
