1. Inquiring as to the dismissal, without reference to Kinder, of the English principal of the Tongshan Engineering College, and suggesting the desirability of an inquiry in view of the fact that the maintenance of the college is provided for out of the earnings of the railway,

2. Inquiring what steps His Majesty's Government propose to take, in view of the British interests involved, to prevent the persistent violation of Article 6 of the loan contract of the 10th October, 1898, which is being committed in the dismissal of employés from the Chinese northern railways.
