Tobarykoff in regard to the death at Harbin of the British subject MacDonough, and in which I have informed his Excellency of the instructions which have been sent to Ilis Majesty's Minister at Peking in the matter.
I have, &c. (Signed)

Inclosure in No. 1.
M. le Gérant,
Sir A. Nicolson to M. Tcharykoff.
St. Petersburgh, August 13 (26), 1908. WITH reference to the note verbale which the Imperial Ministry for Foreign Affairs was good enough to address to this Embassy on the 27th June (10th July), 1 have the honour, under instructions from Sir E. Grey, to express to your Excellency my thanks for the action taken by the Russian Consul-General at Harbin in administering the estate of the deceased British subject MacDonough in the absence of any British Consular Representative at that place. I am at the same time to inform your Excellency that His Majesty's Government consider it advisable that until a British Consular authority is established at Harbin His Majesty's Consul-General at Mukden should undertake the administration of such estates, and His Majesty's Minister at Peking has accordingly been instructed to suggest to his Russian colleague that the Imperial Consul-General at Harbin should be directed to notify such cases in future to the above-mentioned official at Mukden. Sir J. Jordan has further been directed to ask that MacDonough's birth certificate and passport, which are stated in the documents annexed to the above-mentioned note verbale to have been forwarded to the Imperial Consulate-General, may be transmitted to His Majesty's Consul-General at Mukden,
I avail, &c.
(Signed)
A. NICOLSON.
