Mr. Carnegie to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received September 10.)
Peking, July 21, 1906.
WITH reference to my despatch No. 289 of the 4th instant, I have the honour to report that I requested Mr. Fulford, His Majesty's Consul at Newchwang, to supply me with any information he might be able to obtain respecting the alleged interference with the junk traffic on the Liao River caused by the railway bridge, to which reference is made in the China Association's letter to me of the 20th ultimo.
Mr. Fulford now informs me that he also had heard from Chinese sources that the railway line from Mukden to Hsin Min T'un was to be worked in combination by the Japanese and Chinese Railway Administrations, and that it had been decided not to alter the bridge as at present constructed. From inquiries made of Japanese officials, he believes this report to be correct.
From the evidence of an eye-witness and from his own investigation, however, Mr. Fulford is inclined to the opinion that the bridge does not constitute a serious obstruction to the boat traffic of the river. The necessity of lowering the mast to enable a boat to pass is, of course, a hindrance, but not one of any magnitude. Boats are now coming down the river in fair numbers.
I have, &c.
(Signed)
LANCELOT D. CARNEGIE.
