de l'Indo-Chine, as representing the French group, agreed to the principle of Anglo-French co-operation on the basis of the Agreement arrived at in regard to the Szechuen Railway, the Corporation taking in the present combination the place of the Chinese Central Railways.

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to enclose for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies a copy of a despatch to His Majesty's Ambassador at Paris from which it will be seen that the French group had communicated the terms of the Agreement, as they understood it, to the French Government who thereupon instructed the French Minister to enquire whether His Majesty's Government were aware of the arrangement and whether it had their approval.
I am also to enclose a copy of a letter to the Corporation
