CHINESE DESIRE A TREATY 51
Chinese are therefore in the fullest sense responsible.
They la ad themselves sought it, and they had themselves
undertaken to control the affairs of the 'Tibetans.
Agreement was eventually reached in 1890, and a Con-
vention was signed by Lord Lansdowne and the Chinese
Resident in Calcutta on March 17. It laid down that the
boundary of Sikkim and Tibet shall be the crest of the
mountain range separating the waters flowing into the
Sikkim 'Teesta, and the affluents from the waters flowing
into the 'Tibetan Mochu, and northwards into other rivers
of 'Tibet." It admitted the British protectorate over the
Sikkim State. By it both the Chinese and British
Governments engaged reciprocally to respect the
boundary as defined in Article I., and to prevent acts of
aggression from their respective sides of the frontier."
The three questions of providing increased facilities for
trade, of pasturage, and of the method in which official
communications between the British authorities in India
and the authorities in Tibet should be conducted were
reserved for discussion by joint Commissioners from either
side, who should meet within six months of the ratifica-
tion of the Convention.
This Convention proved in practice to be of not the
slightest use, for the 'Tibetans never recognized it, and the
Chinese were totally unable to impress them. But it was
at least a start towards effecting our ultimate object of
regularizing our intercourse with 'Tibet, and for another
three years we solemnly occupied ourselves in discussing
the three reserved points ; the Chinese Resident, Sheng,
being himself the ,joint Commissioner on the side of the
Chinese, and Mr. A. W. Paul representing the British
Government.
Our principal aim was to get some mart recognized, to
which our merchants could resort and there meet Tibetan
merchants. We did not attempt to gain permission for
our traders to travel all over 'Tibet, as 'Tibetan traders can
travel all over India. We merely sought to have one
single place recognized where Indian and Tibetan traders
could meet to do business with each other. And the
place we sought to get so recognized was not in the centre
