Liang asked about a tunnel under the Yangtze here and opined that surely a native Company could be formed to construct it, especially if given a franchise.

Later I touched on the awkwardness of Chang's sending his requests to me, and gathered that His Excellency in some sense felt himself still in power in Hupei, and looked on his undertaking regarding Hukuang railway loans as a recognition of my personal services!

Liang, who was in great spirits, spoke very frankly and promised himself thorough discussion of such local matters of interest as the Yangtze tunnel and the canalisation of the Han during a week's stay on his way back six weeks or two months hence. He thought Chang's memory beginning to fail and his interest in public questions to tend to become spasmodic, but with His Excellency Yan's support he was still an influence for the good of China.

Yesterday forenoon I got a second telegram from Chang which confirmed Liang's statements as to His Excellency's objection to Moore and his hurry over the Hunan southern line. Characteristically His Excellency asked for more information as to the British and Chinese Corporation's representative, whom he credited me with sending him.
