(as above) some of which as the correspondence

indicates appear to the Secretary of State to

deserve careful consideration: that on the other

hand the Secretary of State appreciates that the

question of expense must be taken into account

and that concessions in one direction might for

that reason have to be counterbalanced by a

ourtailment of privileges in another; that he

does not think that the point is one which can be

satisfactorily settled by consideration of

petitions and representations which are directed

to particular officers or classes of officer, and

that he would be glad if the Governor would

consider the question as a whole and furnish the

Secretary of State with his considered views in

so doing it would be useful if, inter alia, he

would indicate how many officers would, if the

present arrangements are maintained, have to accept

without choice 2nd class passages who have

previously enjoyed first class passages, and what

appointments they hold.

And say that the petitionersin No.10 should be

informed that their petition is under consideration.

If this is approved we should telegraph

asking the Governor to hold up any further

communications on the matter till he gets our

despatch.
