Excellency,

HIS MAJESTY'S CONSULATE GENERAL,
YUNNAN-FU.
August 31st, 1906.

156

Sir:-

I have received from the Governor-General of the Yun-kuei the communication of which I have the honour to enclose copy and translation. The Governor-General requests me to ask Your Excellency to be good enough to give instructions that Miao Kuo-chun, an expectant Taot'ai on his establishment, be "looked after," — in, of course, the more complimentary sense of the term.

Miao Taot'ai has been sent, says the despatch, to the "Southern and Eastern Seas", i.e., the Straits Settlements and Japan, — in other words, to sell shares in the Yunnan-Ssuch'uan and T'engyueh Railways. These concerns are described in the provisional Receipts for Shares, a specimen of which I beg to enclose with translation, as purely Chinese companies, and the sale of a share to anyone not a Chinese subject...

Sir John Anderson, K.C.M.G.,
Governor of the Straits Settlements,
&c., &c., &c.,
Singapore.
