Sir:-
3, LOMBARD STREET,
LONDON, E.C.
June 30th 1905.
Canton Kowloon Railway.
In your letter of the 15th instant you were so
good as to inform us by direction of the Marquess of
Lansdowne that Sir Ernest Satow considered the action
suggested in our letter to you of the 9th instant,
viz, that His Majesty's Minister should urge the Chin-
ese Government to authorise the Viceroy at Canton to
enter into communication with our Representative, to
be inadvisable at the present time.
Under these circumstances it appears to us that
until His Majesty's Minister at Peking sees his way
to take some action, the presence in Peking of Mr.
Ross, our Representative, is unnecessary and we pro-
pose to instruct him that he may return to Shanghai
provided His Majesty's Minister in Peking does not
consider that his leaving Peking would prejudice the
position in any way.
