accorded him. Tsen also desired me to convey his compliments to you, whom he remembered meeting in Peking. His Excellency made no allusion to political matters and topics of general interest only were discussed.

Wen Taotai remained a few moments after the Viceroy's departure to inform Mr. Scott that the Hsuntak Magistrate was to be degraded and that a Circular would be issued to the local authorities ordering them to settle questions connected with foreigners with due despatch and holding up the punishment which had befallen the Hauntak Magistrate as an example.

It appears that Viceroy Tsen will be transferred to Nanking, for Mr. Wen on being questioned as to the truth of rumours to that effect, admitted that they were not incorrect but that no immediate change was contemplated.

Before concluding I must mention the valuable assistance I received from Mr. Scott, who appeared to be on most friendly terms with the Viceroy. It was largely owing to the advice given me by Mr. Scott and the tact he showed, that the two interviews were of such a friendly and cordial character.
