APPENDIX I

Page 116 "Papers Relating to Tibet, 1904."

Despatch from Sir C. Scott to the Marquess of Lansdowne,
dated St. Petersburgh, July 4, 1901. (Received
July 8.)

(Extract)

With reference to my despatch of the 1st instant, I have
the honour to transmit herewith, in translation, further ex-
tracts from the Russian press referring to the arrival in
Russia of a so-called Tibetan Mission. Count Lamsdorff, in
the course of conversation with me yesterday, characterised
as ridiculous and utterly unfounded the conclusion drawn in
certain organs of the Russian press that these Tibetan
visitors were charged with any diplomatic or political mis-
sion. Count Lamsdorff said, that the Lama Akban was a
Mongolian Buriat of Russian origin, who came occasionally
to Russia with the object, he believed, of making money col-
lections for his Order from the numerous Buddhists in the
Empire. He said that on the occasion of Akban's last visit
in autumn to Yalta, the Emperor had received him, and he
himself had had an opportunity of learning some interesting
details from him of life in Tibet. The Russian Geographical
Society took an interest in his visit, which had no official
character whatever, although he was accompanied on this
visit by other Tibetans. Count Lamsdorff said that Dr.
Badmeyeff, who takes a special interest in Tibet and Lama
Akban's visit, was an eccentric character, but it was difficult
to understand how the Russian press, in view of the inter-
national position of Tibet as a dependency of China, could
have attributed an official or diplomatic character to the
Lama's visit to Russia.
