With reference to my Confidential latter of

the 26th. of July last, I have the honour to inform you that na

to be

there seňme ne prospect of the adoption of the larger project suggested by Mr. Foord for a junction of the Yush Hơm and Kowloon-

-Conten Railwayu, I have the honour to invoke Your Bresllmcy's

good offices in bringing te the serious attention of the Chinese

Government the junction of these two railways by means of the loop-

-line which has been formerly under consider tion and which the

Chinese Government has on more than one scansion approvod.

kr. Sydney Barton, Chin sa Sacratary, she

resmtly hara drew my attention to a letter oopy enclosed from Mr. Chao Ching-has formerly Managing Director of the Chinone Section of the Kowloon-Deaton Railway to ur. V. Urove, nt the date of the lottar Kngineer-in-chief of the Section, covering translas -tion of a despatch, copy enclosed, from the Board of Communica- -tione te the Yush Han Railway Company in which instructions are conveyed to the Company to make the commeation se mash desired by this Government and so greatly to the intersat of both railways

concerned.

It semua not unlikely, however, that the Yugh

Ham Railway Company may emtinue to turn a deaf ear to any

reellency
