INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMMISSIONER 91
Viceroy was prepared to accept the Resident's invitation
that the Commissioners should meet at a very early date,
and discuss, not only the exact position of the frontier
under the Convention of 1890 and the mutual rights of
grazing to be allowed on either side of that frontier to the
people of Tibet and British territory, but also the method
in which our trade relations could be improved and
placed upon a basis more consonant with the usage of
civilized nations and our direct and predominating interests
in Tibet. And as the Resident was prepared to let his
deputies meet the British representative at any place
which the Viceroy might select, and as Khamba Jong,
being the nearest inhabited place to the frontier in
question, seemed to be the most suitable place for the
meeting, he had directed Colonel Yourighusband to
proceed thither as soon as he conveniently could, and he
trusted that the Resident would secure the attendance of
the Chinese and 'Tibetan representatives at Khamba Jong
on, or as soon as possible after, July 7.
On the same date as this letter was written I also
received my own formal instructions.* I was informed
that a strict insistence on the boundary-line as laid down
in the Convention of 1890 was, perhaps, not essential either
to the Government of India or to the Sikkim Durbar, and
I was directed to give my opinion on this point after
inspecting the tract in question. The matter of grazing
rights was not one of great importance, and after discus-
sion with the Chinese and Tibetan delegates I was to
submit my proposals as to the agreement which might be
come to in this matter. The revision of the Trade Regu -
lations and the recognition of Gyantse as a trade-mart in
place of Yaturlg were to form the subject of discussion
with the Chinese and Tibetan delegates, and the provision
of guarantees for the observance of such agreements as
might be concluded were to be considered a matter of the
first importance. It was further considered very desirable
that arrangements for free communication between the
Government of India and the authorities at Lhasa should
be made, and possibly also annual meetings between
