260 THE TERMS
Customs duty, of the arrangements in regard to mining
rights and concessions which appeared to be necessary,
and of the boundary settlements on the Sikkim and
Garhwal Frontiers which stood for decision. These ques-
tions must first be discussed by their Commissioner with
the representatives of the Tibetan Government.
Summarized, the proposals of the Government of India
were : the placing of a Resident at Lhasa, or, failing that,
an agent at Gyantse, with the right to proceed to Lhasa ;
the formal recognition of exclusive political influence ; the
demand of an indemnity ; the occupation of the Chumbi
Valley as security ; the establishment of trade-marts at
Gyantse, Yatung, Shigatse, and Gartok ; the settlement
of the Sikkim and Garhwal boundaries, Customs duties,
and trade regulations. The amount of the indemnity to

draft Convention which they afterwards sent to me.
Neither at Lhasa nor elsewhere was a Resident to be
demanded. Provisions for the maintenance of our exclu-

was to be asked, though the sum to be demanded
was not to exceed an amount which it was believed would
be within the power of the 'Tibetans to pay, by instal-
ments, if necessary, spread over three years, but I was
to be guided by circumstances in the matter." Trade-
marts were to be established at Gyantse and Gartok in
addition to Yatung, and a British agent was to have right
of access to the Gyantse mart ; the Chumbi Valley was
to be occupied as security for the indemnity and for the
