I have the hour to enclose copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Consul General at Canton, reporting upon the progress which is being made in the construction of the railway from Canton to the British frontier at Kowloon.

The Engineer-in-Chief expects to have the Canton section, some thirty miles in length, opened to traffic in December of next year and estimates that the whole line will be completed in July 1911.

As I have already had the honour to state in my despatch to the Governor of Hongkong of the 28th ultimo, which formed an enclosure in my despatch to You No.389 of the 2nd instant, I am disposed to agree with Mr.Grove that little will be gained by commencing negotiations for a working agreement between the British
