A Parliamentary paper was issued inst. month giving the terms of the agreement made with the Eastern Extension Telegraph Com pany for the construction and working, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, of a sub- marine oshie between Chefoo and Weihaiwei. A Treasury minute at the close of the paper summarises the agreement and the steps which ADMIRAL SCHLEY IN ENGLAND. led up to its conclusion. The need for tele- graphic communication with Weihaiwei became apparent soon after its occupation, and as it com gill more urgeat in view of the events of lud your, the Government approached the Eastern Extension Company | in order to ascertain the terms on which it was prepared to connect Weihaiwei with the rest of its Chinese system. In the course of the negotiations, the Company intimated that it had been asked by the local Chinese Telegraph Administration to extend its eles to Chefoo and Taku, and that, if this extension ware made, communication with Weihaiwai could be effected by the laying of a comparatively short cable thence to Chefer. The Company offered to lay this rahle for the payment of £16,000, and to work it, nu bobalf of His Majesty's Government. for a subsidy of £4,000 pernaum, and asked in return for the support of the Government in the negotiations which it was carrying on with the Chinese Tolegraph Adminis tration.
