88 A MISSION SANCTIONED
of their representatives, but they wished that the negotia-
tions should be confined to questions concerning trade
relations, the frontier, and grazing rights, and that no
proposal should be made for the establishment of a
Political Agent at Gyantse or Lhasa, as such a political
outpost might entail difficulties and responsibilities incom-
mensurate with any benefits which would be gained by it.
They had recently received assurances that Russia had
no intention of developing political interests in Tibet,
and they were unwilling to be committed by threats to
any definite course of compulsion to be undertaken in

should be taken, communications with the Chinese were
being exchanged. The Chinese Government had, in
December, informed our Minister at Peking that the
Throne, attaching deep importance to international re-
lations, and regarding the Tibetan question of great
importance, had specially appointed Yu Tai to be Imperial
Resident in Tibet, with orders to proceed with all speed,
and negotiate with Mr. White in an amicable spirit."
This newly-appointed Resident called on the British
Minister on January 5, and informed him that he had
hoped to be able to travel to his new post by way of
India, but that, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion
of the Tibetans, it had been decided that he should travel
by the Yangtse River and Szechuan, and would not be
able to reach Lhasa much before July. He did not, in fact,
reach it till six months later still, till thirteen critical
months had elapsed since the Chinese Government had
told us that he was to proceed to Lhasa with all possible
speed.
Mr. Townley, the British Chargé d'Affaires at Peking,
on May 12, informed the Chinese Government that
the Government of India would invite the Resident
at Lhasa to send Chinese delegates to meet the repre-
sentatives of the British Government at Khamba Jong,
