had respectively wired to Wang Chih-chun, the 16th December, 1904, commencing at
235 1.M.) at No. 9, Bannow TerrAOR, Kowloon,-- *cashlered governor of Kwangsí, protest- ing against the idea of having snow American Chinees Byndicate to take up the concession of the Hankow Canton Rail- way and arging the importance of taking over the concession into the hands of a over the
puraly Chinese concessionaire. Then the cashiered governor is reported to have an- swared that he understands now the gentry of Hanan, Viceroy Chang Chih-tung and Governor of: Hunan are all against the proposed American Chinese Syndicate to take over the concession of the Hankow Canton Railway and that all of them are accusing him of having proposed to despatch a delegate to the United States to discuss the matter with the American China Development Company, but the re- port is not true and that all that he has done is to cancel the original concession now in the hands of the American China Development Company and to establish a new concern so as to keep the concession in the hands of the natives of the three provinces where the railway line will pass through. The matter must have been mis- understood, he asserts owing to the tele- -grahia message being too short, and further details of his view are boing stated in the the telegram already despatched t Viceroys and Governors concerned, and they will see the message and thus avoid any further misunderstanding, etc.
The Chinese Minister at Washington has wired to the Peking authorities that the American China Development company has already instituted litigation against the Chinese Railway Administration ack-
