No. 1.

Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey-(Received April 19.)

(No. 141.) Sir,

IN continuation of my despatch No. 114 of the 15th ultimo, I have to inclose copies

Peking, April 1, 1909. of further correspondence relating to the affairs of the Tien-tsin-Pukow Railway."

In view of Mr. Tuckey's strong expression of opinion on the subject, I thought it necessary to suggest to Mr. Bland that the auditor provided for by Article 14 of the Loan Agreement should be stationed permanently at Nanking instead of Tien-tsin, as previously arranged.

I should add that his Excellency Sun Pao-chi left here about a week ago for Nanking in pursuance of the arrangement reported in my despatch No. 114.

I bave, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.
