Sir:-

I have laid before the Secretary of State for

Foreign Affairs your letter of the 5th instant, re-

garding the appointment of consulting engineers for

the Canton-Kowloon Railway.

I am to inform you that a copy has been sent to

His Majesty's Minister at Peking, who has at the

same time been requested to take such steps as he

may think fit to avoid undue delay in the construc-

tion of the line.

I am &c.

(Signed)

The Chairman,
