I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your

Excellency's Note of the 30th April., on the subject of

subsidiary coinage at Canton, in which you state that if the

Chinese Government would categorically forbid the minting of

on dollars, it would be regarded as a friendly act and a

real endeavour to fulfil the Commercial Treaty stipulations

of 1902.

I have the honour to inform Your "xcellency that the

satisfactory measures may be taken.

I avail &c,
