274 THE NEGOTIATIONS
Lama's seal to him, and telling him he was to act as Regent during the Dalai Lama's absence.
The 'Ti Rimpoche then stated that what he had come to see me about was to ask me to show consideration towards their religion, and not destroy their monasteries. When he had come to look into affairs, he had convinced himself that those responsible for the conduct of them
had acted very stupidly, and should have made a settle- 1
ment with us long ago. Now they were beaten and had to accept our terms, but he hoped we would show them i, consideration. They were sending to the Dalai Lama i! to return, and he thought he ought to be here to make a 1
settlement with us. I
I told him that I thoroughly sympathized with him in it the very unpleasant position in which he was placed. î Others had brought trouble upon the country, and he had I been called in at the last moment to repair the mischief. i But while he was in an awkward position, I hoped he ;i would realize the difficulty in which I also was placed. I I had received the orders of the Viceroy to show the utmost II consideration to their religion. I had also received orders i to make a settlement on the terms which had been. determined on by the British Government. But the ►1 settlement on these terms had to be made with the I National Assembly, which was almost entirely composed ,j of ecclesiastics. The Resident had told me yesterday that k the reply which they had made to our terms was so impertinent that he dare not even mention it to me officially.
If, then, this assembly of ecclesiastics refused our terms, il what was I to do ? I had to show consideration to them ~~ and their monasteries because of their sacred calling. I
had also to get my terms agreed to. Could he suggest I any way of doing this except by force ?
The Ti Rimpoche said he altogether disagreed with the reply which had been sent to the Amban, but the others were determined to send it ; riot that they really meant what they said, but they thought that if they put their case strongly at the beginning, they might get easier terms out of me. He again begged me, however, to show consideration.
