In reply I can only repeat the statements made In my letter of the 11th lost, that the Comprales. are no longer prepared to continue the collection of their gold rates at a more or less insufficient equivalent in silver, whilst the provisions of the Budapest International Telegraph Convention Including the reduction of the Companies' gold rates will only come into operation from the 1st of July next year simultaneously with the other concessions made to the public, as mentioned in my said letter.
your letter under reply, I am unable to verify With regard to the concluding paragraph of the statements made by the newspapers that the profits of the Chiness Telegraph Administration are 24 per cent. per annum, but even struma. ing this to be correct, I must be permitted to point out that these profits wil have been de Teltved from the revenue of all the Chinese Ad. ministration's Enes and stations (about 200) in China, whilst the Companies do not participate with them in, the local traffic further than be- tween their four cable-stations vis, Shanghal, Foochow, Amoy, and Hongkong, so that it ap- pears to me that no comparison can in reason be drawn between the two caser.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your to-day's letter, and to express my extreme regret at the Committee's disapproval of the Com panies' action in increasing the collection of charges fox certain telegrams; more especially so since you consider as very incomplete the explanation offered in my letter of the 4th inst.
I therefore beg to supplement the sama by the following additional remarku :—
The Companies' rate for telegrams between quote as an example in your letter, was fixed the United Kingdom and China, which you from the 1st of January, 1876, at 8 fres, 50 centimes, equal to 7 shillings, sterling, and col- ected in Chion with $2.00 Mexican, which was at that time the actual sliver equivalent.
Of this amount about one-half is collected for the sccount of other Telegraph Administrations, over whose lines the telegrams pass fa tronzait, to gold. and has to be accounted for by the Companies

When sliver commenced to decitne in vales in the East, 10 per cent. was added to the $1.co, from the 1st of November, 1876, to cover the Companies against losses in exchange. This rate was maintained till the 1st of July, 1886, when sliver had shown signs of recovery, to be again increased to $3.80 from the rat of February, 1893, after the subsequent relapse of silver, and when it was becoming evident that no permanent recovery could be hoped for.
