I havo the honour to forward translation of the text
published in a local native paper of the Grand Secretary
Chang Chih-tung' smemorial reporting his imminent settlC-
-ment of a loan with the British and Chinese Corporation
for the construction of the Hupei and Hunan divisions of
the Canton-Hankow Railway, and also a precis of telegrams
exchanged between a Hunanese Society in Shanghai and the
Hunan Railway do extracted from the Universal Gazette
which corroborates the change of attitude towards foreign
loans of that province.
Hr Moore tells me that Mr Kao had some difficulty in
finding the records of Chang Chih-tung's former negotia-
-tions with us and was nearly furc d to apply to me
for
them.
