BRITISH LEGATION,

PEKING

May 11th, 1904.

My Lord:-

With reference to my despatch No. 132 of April 11th mentioning a suggestion of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce that the Canton-Kowloon Railway might be constructed with the aid of a guarantee of interest by the Colony of Hongkong, it seems worth while to recall the terms granted by the French Colony of Indo-China to the Company formed to construct the line from Laokai to Yunnan-fu, which has been conceded by China to the French Government.

The capital of the Company is fixed at 12,500,000 francs, and the Colony makes a free contribution of an equal sum in cash. In addition the Colony guarantees 3% interest on the bonds to be issued by the Company, up to an amount of 3,000,000
