to libram

I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge

the receipt of your letter of the 12th instant, transmitting

copies of the Chinese Emigration Consolidation Ordinances

Nos.1 and 25 of 1889, and stating that Lord Ripon suggests

that the Governor of Hong Kong should be instructed after

consultation with the Consuls at the Treaty Ports to cause

such an Ordinance to be prepared with respect to the Chinese

Passenger traffic between Chefoo and Manchuria as will meet

the exigencies of the case.

In reply, the Board desire me to state, for His

Lordship's information that they fully concur in the

#

suggestion referred to, and to return herein the enclosures

contained in your letter.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I have the honour to be

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Ingram H. Waller
