hands of the Constable under the supervision of the

Consul in the manner reported from Kiungchow. I should

also propose that in places where there are valid ob-

jections to or difficulties in such an arrangement the

Hongkong Postal Authorities be informed and requested

Governor of Hongkong urging the desirability of placing

the post office at Chefoo under Consular control, as

the present arrangements are unsatisfactory.

correspondence with His Majesty's Consul on the subject

to whom I have recommended that his constable should be

put in charge of the office, unless objections exist

of which I am ignorant.
