Sir:-
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to
transmit herewith copy of a telegram which has
been sent to His Majesty's Minister at Peking re-
garding the China (Companies) Order in Council.
I am to enquire whether Mr. Secretary Bonar
Law approves of the date proposed in this tele- gram for the coming into force of the Order in
Council and, if so, whether he will make the nec-
essary arrangements for the passing of the Com-
panies' Ordinance of the Colony of Hong Kong.
I am to add that this Department is in commu-
nication with the Treasury regarding the financial
arrangements in connection with the establishment
of the Registry of Companies at Shanghai, and a re-
ply will be sent to your letter of September 22nd
last on that subject as soon as the Lords Commis-
sioners have answered the application made to them
by this Office.
