Chang Chibi-tong to enable the Chinese Goverment to purchase out and out the interests and control of the American concessionaires in the Canton- Hankow railway. His Excellency did not think it was in the public interest to dilate on the subject of that agreement; but the principles guiding Sir Matthew's policy in the matter is sufficiently obvious to make it clear that British interests have been materially furthered by a compact whose conception, originated with the Governor of the Colony.

The first news of the Government's plans appears to have been cabled home by Reuter on the 13th uli, and the reception accorded the pleasing message by the home journal is thus expressed:
