No. 1.

(REG 4 SEP 06) [July 6.]

SECTION 1.

607

Mr. Carnegie to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received July 6.)

(No. 133.) (Telegraphic.) P.

THE Regulations mentioned in your telegram No. 123 were shown to Mr. Campbell privately by Tong on the 2nd instant. Tong was not prepared for a detailed discussion of them, as they were in manuscript and bulky, and he had not yet revised them. Mr. Campbell came to the general conclusion (though he was only able to examine them superficially) that they infringed the foreign authorities' right of extra-territorial jurisdiction, and failed to satisfy the requirements of the Commercial Treaty of 1902, Article IX.

Tong stated that he was endeavouring to make the Regulations more simple, and to remove some parts to which he agreed that reasonable objection might be made. He said that he could not give a copy of them for private examination.

I doubt that the revised version will, as Tong thinks, be published by the 19th proximo.

A despatch follows by bag.
