supplying each means for cargo transport, I did not propose that The steamers should be allowed to carry Cargo, so there could be no question of duties, and the revenue would not be interfered with in any way. He said that difficulties might arise at Likin barriers where the steamers would be liable to be searched. I made no opposition to such steamers being searched wherever The Chinese Government thought it necessary, or reasonable regulations that His Excellency might make for the safeguarding of the Provincial revenue. (I had here been informed by the representative of Messrs Butterfield & Swire, who control all boats on The river, that this concession would quite satisfy them.) His Excellency said that he would consider this proposition on taking over the business on his own account.
