were dealt with by Mr. S R B Me Elderry at the Central Magistracy yea- terday afternoon.
Detective Sub-Inspector Shannon wąs in charge of the prosecution.
Mr. Leo d'Almada defended a Chines who was alleged to have attempted to export. 8250 on Uctober 22nd.
Mr. "d'Almada said he was in the un- fortunate position of not being able to plead guilty or not guilty. Explaining the position, he said defendant had been employed at Taikoo for 18 years as fore MAN. On the day in question he went. on board the a.. Ï'ung Ôu to sto a friend who was supposed to be going to Macao. If he had found that his friend was! going to Macao, defendant had intend ed to return to his house, collect his luggage and go with him, in which car be would have left the money behind. He was arched and the notes were found on him. Mr. d'Almadia said he would leave the case in His Worship's. bands. Defendant had no purpose to take the money out of the Colony. He was aware of the regulations and had no i. ntion of breaking them.
His Worship said that it 'aasunted to
| n ples of not guilty, and discharged de
fendant.
In another case, Mr. M. W. Lo de fended a Chinese alleged to have at tempted to export 8305 on October 20th, and who pleaded not guilty.
A Chinese constable said that on the Douglas Wharf he found $395 in the de fendant's possession when fearched him. Defendant had no luggage.
Sub-Inspector Shannon said when de fendant was brought to him be deducted $005 and handed back $20 to the defend- ant. In reply as to what he was doing with so much money, defendant told wit noas he was going to see a friend; who. why was leaving for Macao.
Mr. Lo said that he understood that the defendant had no intencion of fear- ing the Colony. He went to the wharf to see a friend and the money he had on him was to settle a debt due to a firm in Hongkong. A faki, who had the account book showing the entry of the debt, was going to Swatow on the same boat and the defendant only went to obtain the book from him.
This defendant was also discharged.
8120 ESTREATED.
Mr. Lo also defended another man who. was said to have attempted to export $120 on board the Chuen Chow.
A Chinese constable said that when asked where he was going defendant. said to Macao. Witness searched the de- fendant, who had a bundle of clothing with him and found the money on him.

Mr. Lo said he was instructed that 1. defendant did not want to go to Hacno S but went to the steamer to a friend who had asked him to bring the parcel to the boat.
Defendant said that he was taking some clothing to his uncle" who was on the Chien Chow He had been on board with the parcel and had no intention of going to Macao himself. The money had been given to him by his mother as pocket money.
Defendant's mother corroborated this statement and said her seu seldom went to Macao..
His Worship said he was satisfied that there had been 'an attempt to export money and estreated the $120.
A TECHNICAL OFFENCE. The Chinese owner of two junks was alleged to have attempted to export $300. He was defended by Mr. D. McCallum.
Mr. McCallum informed His Worship. that the defendant was not in the Calony. They had tried to get hold of him and they did not know for certain when he would be back. He asked His Worship to take the case in the man's absence as the facts were quite simple, It appeared that defendant at the time of this occurrence came from Macso with 8300 to pay a firm in Hongkong a debt.. He went to see bis wife in Hongkong and then went to pay the debt. His creditor was away from the premises and the fuki there could not give, him an official receipt and therefore would not. take the money in his master's absence. The defendant, therefore, was going to take it back to Macao with him again He had no intention of breaking the Ordinance or defeating its objecta Ho was taking the same money out as be brought in, through no fault of his
own.

MR. TANG SHAO YI'S DENUNCIATION OF
TARIFF CONFERENCE..
MERELY A TRICK TO GET MONEY, AND. POWER EQR, PEKING: LET CHINA SET HER HOUSE IN ORDER. AND
SO GAIN HER RIGHTS.
REAL DOMESTIC REFORM. THE. ONLY, WAY.
Mr. Tang Shao i has issued the following statemen; (ii 19, an authorize. translation of the Chinese text) wit regard to the Tariff Conterence to the Chinese people:
The problem of China's tariff was brought before the Washington Con- ference by the Chinese delegation. This question has not yet been settled and the Peking Government has now invited
tan
to the nations signatory Washington treaties to attend a Tufin Conference in China and has set a date for this meeting.

on luxuries. The Tariff Conference is called to arrive at an agreement with regard to this question. If an agree ment is reacheil, our national, revenue will be increased by approximately Tis 13,000,000, which is "not very con siderable amount. Moreover, we are bound to accept these terms for a period of years and we have no increased, can- trol over the administration. Ender these conditions it appears to us, that we are begging favours of the foreign nations, a condition to which no sover. eign state should be required to submit

to the Tariff Conference. Now, the reking Government continues, this stupid. poney by consummating this, agreement: The purpose of the Peking Government is simply to indiente, to, the Powers that China is unified and to lead the people.” to believe that their iafuence with the foreign Rowers is considerable. They hope to utilize this,impression to check their opponents in the country so that they may continue to, remain in office, so that they may negotiate huge loans to satisfy their. extravagances and to enrich theinselves.. It is difficult to cal- culate how much the country will suffer' from the new obligations and what an jadditional burden will be placed on the people. The results of this conference can bring us only a great loss; surely the country and the people have nothing to gain from it..
WHAT, CHINA MUST FIRST" DO.
Our policy should be to demand the right to fix our own. tariff rate, adjuste to our own needs. There, ix, nis need,' for Conference, for the very meeting, of such, a, conference is proof, of the lack of recognition of our right to tariff autonomy. We ought not to beg the For, eign, Rovers to, grank us tariff, autonomy, this should bo inherent in our sover eignty. When the time comes that we have created conditions suitable to the achievement of this end, the Powers will not be able to deny us our rights. Be fore this can be accomplished, we must' have a legal government which com- mands the respect of the people. Be- fore we can achieve tariff autonomy, the Government will have to budgetize its expenditures, will have to reconstruct the army, improve communications, re- organize the judicial system, develop popular education, and industry, adjust foreign and domestic loans, abolish likin and reform the currency... These pro- blems directly affect the welfare of the people and no government should neglect them. The people should reflect upon the past and reach some decision na to
Although, under the revised arrange ments, we might be permitted to make still another increase after a detain length of time and that even autonomy
us after atill ̈z, might be granted to further lapse of time, we are neverthe Ice uncertain to whether we shall obtain all the benefits which are provid ed for in the treaties, because in accord. ance with the diplomatic practice pre- valent in China, new provisos always obligations. The foreign Powers take advantage of such incidents to postpone the fulfilment of the treaty promises, with the result that nothing is accom plished. The diplomatic history of the future China will verify the truth of this statement,
