seems little doubt that the Chinese Authorities have

been awakened to the fact that the time has come

when it is necessary, if they wish to avoid foreign

interference, to make a supreme effort to bring

about a better state of things than at present exists.

I am writing officially to the Viceroy to put

on record the undertakings given at our interview,
