I have the honour to forward herewith

copies of a Despatch which I have received from the

Governor of liongkong, and of my reply, on the subject

of the Working Agreement for the Canton-Kowloon

Railway.

I presume that you will receive from the

Colonial Office printed copieu of the Inclosures

in the Governor's Despatch.

It will be soon that Sir Frederick Lugard

proposes that the Agreemont should be signed by him

at liongkong and by the Board of Communications at

Peking. As pointed out in the penultimate paragraph

of my despatch to His Excellency this course appears

to be unusual, and I have the honour therefore to

request instructions on this point.

It will be

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

SIR EDWARD GREY, BART M. P..
