no doubt fall into line once they know that E.E. the Governor sanctions

an agency, jointly with np Company, merely substituting Messrs. Dodwells

for Kesora, Raias & Co.; and when they realize, as they do by now, that

the Texas Company will not consider any other agency unique we are con

derned in it, or cho as to self-eliminate ourselves.

This we oertuinly cannot do in all the olroumstances; and it

is perhaps superfluous if I add that, even should we do so hereafter

(for purely business ressona), we still would have to insist that before

doing so, we are in possession of an unqualified and authoritative de-

nial of this serious statement as to the refusal to my Company of port

and cable facilities in Rongkong.

At any rate, the predominant point and polioy at present must

be to keep the Taxaa Company from establishing their own organisation

in Hongkong, fatal alike to my Company and to British interests; and I

therefore do trust to scon receive the cable permit solicited, about

which you were enquiring in Hongkong now eight days ago.

It is a fortunate fact, in all this misfortune, that business

in Kerosene is exceedingly slack in Hongkong at present, because of the

swmer months and the political (domestic) disturbances in China. But

for this, the slender cord, atill connecting this business with British

interests, would have broken ere now,
