who expressed gratitude for kind advice which he would

Prodrome

Peking

In reply to your telegram of 14th.instant, Wei Yuk is

entirely unfitted as he has no financial or administrative

ability. Mr. Jamieson, with whom I discussed the matter,

is of opinion that the late Viceroy, Chang Hing Chi would

be acceptable to Cantonese and would be a good appointment.

I agree with the Consul-General.

May.
