In continuation of thy Scured Dcopatch of the 20 October on the subject of loans by Hongkong to the Viceroy at Buchang in counterion with the exdumption
the Canton-Hankow railway, I have the honour to Endlost for your information and record a paraphrase of finther teleqrphic correspondenc with yourself, A.M,Muisher at Iching - HM Consul Gauraí að Haukaw
2. M° Fraser's telegram of October 21′′ (CRS) and youre of the 26′′ (CXXVII) lefer to the British & Chinos Corporation caising the additional amound requizant 37574 by the Viceroy for the redemption of bonds. From the lative telegram I assume that
this is how bang orranged is connedion with the Corporalien's loan for the Hupch sechou of the Szechuan railway and for the Hankow Cantor railway and that no fenther action in the matter is required on my part.
• from Ruthill Freaties.
3. The remaining telegerens deal with a Belgian claien supported by the Frenetr Minister, for a preferential Light as regards the Canton Hankow Naitway now thas the American Concession has been cancelled. This claim is not apparently but forward on the grounds of bonds remaining outstanding as previously stated in M'Ivaouri's telegram of the 12th October (CXI) and it is difficult to see on what it is based, as according to the letter from Sheng dated the
"funt 1898, referred to in Sir Genist Setows tetepam of the 27′′October (CXXVIII) as published où page 246 of Rockhill's "Freakis and conventions with on Concerning China and Corea" what coer tu Belgian preferential tight may have been it lapsed when the agreement with teu American Syndicate became définite
1900; it did nol again com£ into effect on the redemption of the loan contracted unon that agreement. Sheng's action in the matter was further forrnally repudiated by the Trung - C-Yamisu u then lehu to M'Bex-fwneides which appears on page 248 of Rockhill's book.
