To Sir R. Satow, Peking,

Gran No. 16.

(Paraphrase)

Foreign Office,

February 3, 1906.

The minutes of the Meeting of December 19th between the Deputies of the Viceroy and the Representative of the British and Chinese Corporation on the subject of the Canton-Kowloon Railway have been communicated to us by the Corporation.

After the information which was given to you on November 23rd to the effect that the Viceroy had been told to begin negotiations as soon as possible, the latter's attitude is most disappointing.

A telegram with the usual arguments has been received since the Meeting from the Viceroy through the Chinese Minister.

A reply has been sent in the sense of the enclosure in your Despatch No.329 of November 18th last year.

We should be glad to learn how the matter stands at present. Do you think you can bring further pressure to bear on the Viceroy through the Viceroy of Chihli or by any other means?
