THE DALAI LAMA 381
Tibet in the Kansu Province of China, either in the
vicinity of Sining or of Kanchow ; but in the spring of 1908
he began making towards Peking. In March he was at
Tai-yuan-fu, where he put up in a specially made encamp-

a holy place in North Shansi, the huge following which
accompanied him preying upon the country like a swarm

Officer at Wei-hai-wei, and the author of the most remark-

lay," paid the Dalai Lama a private visit in July, and
reported that he was treated in a dignified and friendly
manner. The Dalai Lama told him that he wished his
relations with the British to be friendly, and that he
looked forward to meeting British officials from India
when he returned to Tibet." Mr. Johnston said he
