LHASA CONVENTION CONFIRMED 343
old Convention of 1890, and the Trade Regulations of
1893, remained in full force.
The signature of this Convention, far from improving
our status in Tibet, or conferring any increased regularity
upon our intercourse, seems to have had a precisely
opposite effect. The impression was spread abroad in
Tibet that this new Convention superseded the Lhasa Con-
vention, and the Chinese assumed that we had virtually
recognized their sovereignty in the country. They had
obtained from us the engagement not to annex Tibetan
territory, and with this and the renewed formal recognition
of their rights of suzerainty after they had shown them-
selves so incapable of carrying out their suzerain duties,
we might have expected that they would have shown at

journey from Peking to Kashmir by Chinese Turkestan.
On Mr. Chang's arrival in Chumbi, Mr. Campbell pro-
ceeded in uniform to call on him, but he was first asked
to enter by a side door, and afterwards told that Mr.
Chang was not very well and was lying down. This may
have been the case, but, combined with other acts, it
produced the impression that he meant to ignore the
British occupation and assert Chinese authority.
Mr. Clang's action at Gyantse gave rise to a similar
impression that he was aiming at the belittlement of
British influence rather than at cordially co-operating with
our officers as Yu-tai had. He posted there a Chinese
official named Gow as Sub-Prefect, with the title of
