CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE CHINESE 89
for the settlement of pending questions, and would inform
the Resident that the Chinese delegates should be accom-
panied by a duly accredited Tibetan representative. The
Chinese Government were told that we attached great
importance to this latter point, for the Tibetans had more
than once intimated to the British authorities that they
did not consider themselves bound to observe the pro-

march, it would, of course, be the duty of him, the
Imperial Resident, to proceed in person to the frontier and
find some way of persuading them to stop. But the
Tibetans, on their side, must not show their previous
obstinacy ; and if the English did not stop, and insisted on
entering 'Tibet, they must on no account repel them with
arms, but must discuss matters with them on the basis of
