It has been laid down more than once upon high authority that, in justice to the Chinese Government, persona belonging to the above category shall not be entitled to British protection in China unless they are content to wear a dress that will distinguish them from the Chinese, to whom, as a rule, they continue to bear, physically, a strong res semblance.

It has been contended, on the other part, by the British Subjects in question, that the assumption of an unmistakeable foreign would prejudice their position as traders in costume and the abandonment of the tonsure, China, by exposing them to the ridicule of the Chinese with whom they are brought into intercourse at the open parts or in the interior.

This argument has been, I think, generally supported by persons competent to form an opinion, and the British Subjects interested have been themselves on different occasions invited to offer suggestions, but so far with- cut satisfactory result.

upon all Singaporeans or others of Chinese I have to instruct you once more to call descent claiming to be British Subjects, within your jurisdiction, to put themselves in communication with their fellow subjects similarly circumstanced, whether residing at your port or at other places, and as soon as anything is arrived at, to inform you of it. You will report their proposition to me, and I shall submit it to the Secretary of State.

Thoy must be careful not to propose any form of costume that would be offensive to the Chinese Government. Nothing of the kind could possibly be approved by the Government of Her Majesty.
