278 THE NEGOTIATIONS
party in favour of settlement . were increasing in in-
fiuence.
On August 19 the Resident visited me, and handed
to me the second reply of the Tibetan Government to
his letter forwarding to them the terms of the settle- 11
ment we now wished to make with them. The first k
reply he had been unable to forward, as it was too g~
impudent. This second reply, he said, I would find on
perusal was more satisfactory, though it still fell short of
what he would expect the 'Tibetans to agree to.
I told the Resident that I found it difficult to make the de

the best man among the leading Tibetans, and came next
after the Dalai Lama in the Lhasa province. I said this
seemed to me a wise course, for I had found the Regent a
sensible man, and he was much respected by the people.
As regards the Convention itself, the Amban said he
would have to discuss the clause regarding trade-marts
with me. I said I was prepared to talk the matter over,
but we should have to insist upon establishing trade-marts
at Gyantse and Gartok, and I did not understand the
