The 5 MAY 06 I beg to enclose copies of further correspondence with the Viceroy regarding the Canton-Kowloon Railway.
I duly communicated to him the substance of your telegram No. 37 of the 25th December last, complaining of the Viceroy's hostile attitude, and urging him to check and not to encourage political movements.
In reply, the Viceroy contented himself with a denial of his anti-foreign attitude.
On the 30th instant, I again addressed a note to the Viceroy at the instance of His Excellency, the Governor of Hongkong, refuting the Viceroy's arguments, firstly, that the Agreement was merely a preliminary draft, and not a regularly constituted contract; and secondly, that he was free to annul the Agreement under the last Clause which provides for certain necessary arrangements (or amendments) to meet local difficulties.
I pointed out that the agreement in question had been duly accepted by the Tsung-li Yamen, and had also received Imperial Sanction by Edict. I informed the Viceroy that under these circumstances his contentions could not be admitted.
