TIBET.
1. (See paragraph 2 of the Memo
randum for September 1905.) On the 4th
October, Sir E. Satow reported that he had
received an official note from the Chinese
Government, stating that full powers had been
telegraphed to Chang-yin-Tang.
His Majesty’s Government enquired
on the 6th October, with reference to the
representation of the Government of India
as to the inconvenience which was likely to be
caused by a change of Commissioners, whether
there was any reason why Mr. Eraser should
not continue to hold the appointment of Com
missioner after Sir L. Dane’s arrival, until it
either became clear that it would be useless
to continue negotiations or China accepted
the agreement.
The Government of India replied
on the 10th October that, on the return of
Sir L. Dane, Mr. Eraser would be on special
duty with the Viceroy from the 24th October to
the 18th November. He would then at once
proceed as Resident to Mysore, and the pro
longation of his appointment as Commissioner
would, in the circumstances, be inconvenient
on public grounds; and would also encourage
the Chinese Government to delay acceptance
of the agreement. Moreover, continuance of
the negotiations appeared to promise no advant-
ao-e in view of the definite pronouncement
made by Sir E. Satow to Prince Cbing on the
28th September as to the intentions oi His
Maiesty’s Government. The Government ot
India suggested, therefore, that the Chinese
Government should be reminded that nego-
to sign the agreement,, t ] )e 24th
