Ting, Governor-General of the Yun-kuei, to Com-
sul General Wilkinson, August 23rd, 1906.

The Governor General has been honoured by an Im-
perial Rescript assenting to a Memorial in which he
represented to the Throne that as the expenditure re-
quisite for the construction by Chinese of the Yun-
nan-Szech'uan Railway will be very heavy, it is neces-
sary to extend the area within which shares should be
offered, in order that work on the road may reach com-
pletion. The officials, gentry, scholars, and mer-
chants of the Provinces along the sea and the river
(Yangtse) will be from time to time invited to sub-
scribe; but there are at the trading centres of the
Eastern and Southern Seas very many Chinese merchants
of wealth and standing who bear an ardent affection
towards the land of their forefathers. Were persons
sent to urge them to assist, there should be no diffi-
culty in raising large sums.

Accordingly the Governor General has appointed
Taot'ai Miao Kuo-chun, an expectant Intendant in Yun-
nan, to be General Manager of the Yunnan-Szech'uan and
T'engyueh
