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-
ment with us long ago. Now they were beaten and had
to accept our terms, but he hoped we would show them
consideration. They were sending to the Dalai Lama
to return, and he thought he ought to be here to make a
settlement with us.
I told him that I thoroughly sympathized with him in
the very unpleasant position in which he was placed.
Others had brought trouble upon the country, and he had
been called in at the last moment to repair the mischief.
But while he was in an awkward position, I hoped he
would realize the difficulty in which I also was placed. I
had received the orders of the Viceroy to show the utmost
consideration to their religion. I had also received orders
to make a settlement on the terms which had been
determined on by the British Government. But the
settlement on these terms had to be made with the
National Assembly, which was almost entirely composed
of ecclesiastics. The Resident had told me yesterday that
the reply which they had made to our terms was so im-
pertinent that he dare not even mention it to me officially.
If, then, this assembly of ecclesiastics refused our terms,
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
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; not 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 con-
sideration.
