I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of
a despatch from His Majesty's Consul General at Canton,
which gives some interesting details regarding the state
of things on the Canton branch of the Canton-lankow line.
Sir Chen Yune Liang Chiêng told me that his position
as Director General had become intolerable and that his
life was made such a burden to him that he was obliged to
leave Canton at all costa. The death of Chang Chih-tung,
which occurred while Sir Chen Tung was here, appeared to
him to ease the situation considerably as it would relieve
the shareholders of the incubus of Government interference.
But the substitution of the Board of Communications for
Chang Chih-tung in the direction of the Canton and Hupei
railwaye may on the other hand have the effect of encoura-
ging the provincial opposition to foreign participation
in these undertakings.
With all his shortcomings, Chang
