The two matters referred to as distinct questions.

For

The Macao coolie trade is at an end, and, as the determination shown by the Viceroy of Canton to prevent its renewal affords a fair ground for hoping that it is finally suppressed, there does not appear to be any sufficient reason for Her Majesty's Government taking the initiative, as proposed by the German Ambassador, in organizing a system of international supervision over emigration from China.

With regard to the kidnapping of Islanders in the Pacific, Lord Derby would wish, before making any communication to the German Government, to be favoured with fuller information as to Lord Carnarvon's views on the subject.

If it should be thought desirable to propose the adoption by Germany of regulations respecting the conveyance and employment of Islanders in the Pacific, the same proposal should no doubt be made to the other maritime Powers, and the form in which this should be done would require consideration.
