(Paraphrase) of Telegram from Sir E. Satow, Peking, (No.175, dated September 21st, 1905.
Please refer to Your Lordship's telegram No.133. On the 16th instant, at the request of the British and Chinese Corporation, I addressed a Note to the Foreign Board requesting the appointment of an official for the purpose of negotiating the final agreement for the railway from Soochow to Ningpo.
Provincial opposition is met with in regard to this concession as well as others. In case I do not receive a satisfactory answer to this Note or to that mentioned in my telegram No. 168, I propose that I should have a personal interview with Prince Ch'ing for the purpose of warning him seriously against going on in this ill-advised manner, and informing him that China will certainly not be permitted by His Majesty's Government to break undertakings which she has solemnly entered into in writing.
