RUMOURED RUSSIAN AGREEMENT 73
Our Minister at Peking, on August 2, 1902, tele-
graphed * to Lord Lansdowne that there had been going
the rounds of the press an agreement in regard to 'Tibet,
alleged to have been secretly made between Russia and
China. In return for a promise to uphold the integrity of
China, the entire interest of China in Tibet was to be
relinquished to Russia. This rumour, said our Minister,
seemed to have originated in a Chinese paper published in
Satow. Fuller information was sent by letter. According
to this, among other things, Russia would establish
Government officers in Tibet to control Tibetan affairs.
On Sir Ernest Satow making, in accordance with
Lord Lansdowne's instructions, a representation to the
Chinese Foreign Board about this, the President of the
Board strongly denied that there was any such agree-
ment, and declared that no such arrangement had ever
formed a subject of discussion between the Chinese and
Russian Governments. But the rumour seems to have
had a wide prevalence and to have been regarded
seriously, for our Ambassador at St. Petersburg reported
in October that the Chinese Minister there had told him
that several of his colleagues had been making inquiries
from him respecting this pretended agreement, which had
appeared in several Continental as well as Russian news-
papers, and which he, the Chinese Minister, had first seen
in the Chinese newspapers. The Government of India,
also, reported to the Secretary of State that circum-
stantial evidence, derived from a variety of quarters, all
pointed in the same direction, and tended to show the
existence of an arrangement of some sort between Russia
and Tibet.
It may be asked—and, indeed, it was asked—why the
Government of India should have been so nervous about
Russian action in 'Tibet. The Russian Government had
said that the mission which the Dalai Lama had sent to
St. Petersburg was of a religious " nature, and the
Chinese Foreign Board had said there was no agreement
