No. 32.

(No. 234.) My Lord,

Sir J. Walsham to the Earl of Rosebery.—(Received September 20)

369-

C. O.

WITH reference to Mr. O'Conor's despatch No. 391 of the 9th September last

Peking, July 22, 1886.

reporting that he had instructed Mr. Bourne, Her Majesty's Consular Agent at Chungking, to proceed on a journey along the southern frontier of China, I have the honour to inform your Lordship that Mr. Bourne returned to Ch'ungking in May last, having successfully accomplished his arduous undertaking.

The preparation of Mr. Bourne's Report will, he informs me, necessarily take some time, and he is accordingly forwarding to me the different sections into which it is divided one by one as they are completed.

I have now the honour to inclose the first section, which reached me a few days ago. The recent outbreak at Ch'ungking, respecting which I have written to your Lordship in my despatches Nos. 228 and 233 of the 14th and 21st instant respectively, will, I fear, much delay the progress of Mr. Bourne's work, as I regret to say that he has lost nearly all his valuable Memoranda.

I have, &c.

(Signed)

JOHN WALSHAM.

* Board of Trade, August 5, 1685; ditto, July 24, 1886.
