Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received January 10.)

(No. 8.) (Telegraphic.) R.

Peking, January 10, 1910. SHANGHAE NINGPO Railway. Hillier's telegram of to-day. Proposal is outcome of pressure which I have been exercising to get railways placed on proper basis. Director-general is anxious to have matter settled before I go on leave, and he strongly recommends that suggestion should be favourably entertained.
