"I have been unsuccessfully endeavouring to induce the Govern- "-or-General to allow the steamers to proceed to their regular "wharves and moorings, there to be searched, and to rescind the "order compelling them to anchor off Fati.........But had I "known of the nature of the proposals being put forward I might "have been able to bring indirect pressure to bear, and perhaps

"thus have attained the desired end". On the same day he officially acknowledged my Despatch of 27th. without any protest or comment. I at once wrote him a long demi-official letter dated 31st. May, 1911, detailing what I have already described in this Despatch regarding the private interview between myself and the Viceroy at Canton, Mr. Tei Han's visit, and the con- -sequential arrangements, and expressing my regret that by an oversight he had not been more fully informed.

While I thus verbally and in writing express-

-ed to the Consul-General my regrets for an oversight, and did my best to remedy it by informing him fully, and while I have in addition expressed to Your Excellency my regret that the reply on the subject of extradition did not take the form of an official letter to the Consul-General I may perhaps invite your attention to the extract from Mr. Jamieson's letter which I have quoted above. The result of the informal negotiations was to arrive at a complete and very satisfactory arrangement in an unpredecently short space of time regarding a matter which urgently demanded solution, and the urgency of which was greatly enhanced by the revolutionary cutbreak at Canton. Mr. Jamieson somewhat naively observes that had the matter been in his hands he would have used it in order to extort from the Viceroy a concession on a totally different question a question of which I have no knowledge and on which I have not been consulted. The result would have been no doubt to complicate and delay the issue, and to considerably diminish that feeling of gratitude which the Viceroy has repeatedly informed me he entertains for

what has been done.
