period of 3 weeks or a month. The occasion was I think unique, for I have never before heard of a Chinese Viceroy frankly exposing his difficulties to a British Administrator and seeking his disinterested advice and help. I welcomed it as an opportunity of perhaps sowing some useful seed which might at some distant time bear fruit, and in any case as tending to promote a genuine good feeling between high Chinese Officials and the British. I am under the impression that I verbally informed Mr. Jamieson (with whom my relations have always been cordial) of the gist of the conversation. I certainly took the opportunity when I rejoined him after the interview of explaining to him that my conversation with the Viceroy had been entirely of a private and informal character unconnected with Hongkong.

In fulfilment of His Excellency's pledge Taotai Wei Han and Captain Wu Kwang Tsung visited me in Hong- -kong on April 21st., and the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police and Mr. Clementi (Colonial Secretary) were present. I made a number of suggestions for co-operation in the detection of criminals with a view to reciprocal action between the Police of Canton and Hongkong and said that I hoped that the process of extradition might be somewhat cheapened to admit of its freer application. Mr. Wei Han then asked two questions relative to procedure in extradition cases. One was covered by the Ordinance and this was explained in a note. To the other

(that Chinese Officials should be allowed to sit on the bench

at the trial) - I reserved my reply.

Having finished the object of the interview I took occasion to allude to the question of migration regard- -ing which I had observed in the local Press that the Canton Authorities had apparently considerable misgivings, and assured Mr. Wei Han of the extreme care and attention which is paid to the passing of emigrants by the Registrar-General. Mr. Wei Han was formerly Director-General of the Chinese Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway and was appointed by the Peking Govern-

-ment
