mand before signing that document
preparatory to its presentation to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries. They have
NO Information on the subject, as moth

the matter for some days.
The understanding here has been
that the joint note as agreed upon by
the conveys was in the main satisfac-
tory to the British government. That
government simply desired a slight
amendment, said to be in the nature of
q mere change in style of lanRuage to
be used, rather than any amendment
to the scope Of the agreement This did
not conflict with any Of the principles
held out for by our government, and
such being the case, 1t was confidently

minister would be affixed to the agree.
