64 THE CONVENTION WITH CHINA
the monks at Lhasa numbered 19,100, of whom 16,500
were concentrated in three great monasteries, and they
were vigorous and formidable in a riot, having attacked
the Chinese in 1810 and 1844 and the Nepalese in 1883.
R'Ir. Nolan, with his long experience on this frontier,
had, as events have shown, most accurately gauged the
situation. The Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Charles Elliott,
considered that his report showed that the improvement
hoped for from conciliation and forbearance had not taken
place in the two seasons during which the mart had
nominally been opened, and by the systematic obstruction
of the Tibetans the object of the treaty with China had
been frustrated. He therefore renewed his recommendation
that a diplomatic reference should be made to China,
pointing out how completely the 'Tibetans had violated the
spirit of the treaty and Trade Regulations, and had
refused to be bound by their terms.
But the Government of India again replied that they
wished to pursue a policy of conciliation, and did not
wish to make any serious representations to the Chinese
Government. They repeated that trade had increased,
and as regards demarcation of the frontier, they understood
from a further report of Mr. Nolan's that the Tibetans
claimed a strip of territory near Giagong, in the north of'
Sikkim, and these claims the Government of India con-
sidered it would not only be impolitic but inequitable to
ignore. The Viceroy therefore wrote to the Chinese
Resident, suggesting that Chinese and Tibetan delegates
should be sent to Gantok, the capital of Sikkim, to meet
Mr. White there, and proceed with him to Giagong to
make a local inquiry, but that no actual demarcation
should take place until the reports of the results of the
inquiry had taken place.
And so the game rolled on, and nothing whatever
resulted. The Chinese Resident was superseded, and the
Chinese asked that action should be deferred till the new
one arrived. The new Resident came, and wrote that
the Tibetans are naturally doltish, and prone to doubts
