Extract from D.O. Letter dated Mengtzu December 25th 1905.

A. Wilson, Esq., Assistant in Charge to W.H. Wilkinson, Esq., His Majesty's Consul General, Yunnan.

The chief item of interest here is the stoppage, beginning with to-day, i.e. last day of 11th moon, of all export trade via Tonkin, owing to a vexatious Tonkin Transit Regulation recently enforced. Export from Hongkong to this part of the World via Tonkin also comes to a standstill to-day. The regulation complained of is the heavy fine inflicted where wrecked cargo in Tonkin is not duly certified to by the local French authority nearest the scene of the wreck, e.g. if it is at the bottom of the river and cannot be seen I presume no certificate would be issued:

The merchants threaten to revert to the old route via Pakhol, Nanning, Poal, &c, should the French refuse to modify the obnoxious rule.

It looks to me like killing the proverbial goose with the golden egg, but I suppose the French know what they...

Extract from D.0. Letter dated Mengtzu December 25th

1905.

A. Wilson, Esq., Assistant in Charge to W.H. Wilkin son, Esq., His Majesty's Consul General,

Yunnan.

The chier item of interest here is the stoppage,

beginning with to-day, 1.e. last day of 11th moon,

of all export trade via Tonkin, owing to a vexatious

Tonkin Transit Regulation recently enforced. Export

from Hongkong to this part of the World via Tonkin

also comes to a standstill to-day. The regulation

complained of 18 the heavy fine inflicted where

wrecked cargo in Tonkin is not duly certified to by

the local French authority nearest the scene of the

wreck, e.g. if it is at the bottom of the river and

carmot be seen I presume no certificate would be is

sued:

The merchants threaten to revert to the old

route via Pakhol, Nanning, Poal, &c, should the

French refuse to modify the obnoxious rule.

It

looks to me like killing the proverbial goose with

the golden egg¤, but I suppose the French know what
