        "content_text": "THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nIs not a great deal of the work in Siam caused by the doctrine of extra-territorial jurisdiction applying to the inhabitants of British Burmah? Yes, and to British India; I would not separate British Burmah exclusively.\n\nThere is a difficulty in following criminals from British Burmah, is there not, to Siam; do not cases occasionally occur of the escape of criminals into Siam?--I have not heard of any particular case of that kind.\n\nDo you think that work of that kind could be decreased; it has been stated here that there has been a somewhat extravagant interpretation of this doctrine in the case of the inhabitants of British Burmah?--Well, it would be a very great comfort if the work of looking after these men could be taken away from the consul altogether, because it is a terrible responsibility having to give an opinion about cases which happen hundreds of miles away from you, and of which you cannot get any very satisfactory evidence. I do not see how we are to avoid doing it with our Treaty.\n\nThe officers of the consulate are occasionally sent great distances up country, are they not, in these cases?--No, they were not in my time; I have never known of an officer being sent beyond 60 miles about a case.\n\nBut the labour involved in these cases to the consulate is very considerable?--Very considerable, and the anxiety still greater.\n\nDo you know whether it was the custom of other Powers for their consuls to act as agents there?--In some cases the consuls were merchant consuls, trading consuls, and in that case they might of course be agents for anything; the Lloyd's agent in Siam was a merchant.\n\nViscount ENFIELD: Is the cost of living in Siam very great?--It is great as compared with England, because there are certain luxuries which a man must have in a climate of that sort; I mean to say that whereas a young man in England can live very well for £150, out in Siam it is impossible for a student interpreter to live decently on the pay that is given to him.\n\nMR. HARPER in his evidence before the Committee said that H.M. Consuls often acted as agent for Lloyd's, and that the commissions paid on wrecks were at times valuable, he might instance the case £3,000 paid on one ship at Batavia.\n\nCHINA SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY (LIMITED).\n\nThe second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held on the 13th inst.; Mr. JOHN PENDER, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. T. Fuller) read the notice convening the meeting, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were then confirmed; the report of the directors, given in our last issue, was taken as read.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872.]\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that since the opening of the line it had worked in every way satisfactorily; there had been one or two interruptions, but of a slight character. In regard to one which occurred at Saigon in shallow water, they had the satisfaction, in repairing the cable, that it was as perfect as on the day it had been laid down.\n\nIt was also a matter for congratulation to perceive that, even taking into account the low rate of charges that had rated for a considerable period of the company's operations, the result had been about as good as that attained by any submarine line during the first year of its working. It was proposed to pay the shareholders a dividend of 8 per cent. for the whole year.\n\nThe directors entered into arrangements with the Great Northern, by which that company was to receive interest at 5 per cent. on the capital, and the cable to be repaired by them; that all above that sum was to be equally divided; and, although the traffic had been interrupted, the amount received last year from that source was £4,752.\n\nHe thought that at some future time it would be necessary to call upon the shareholders to find the money to lay another cable in conjunction with the Great Northern, as the present cable seemed to be not quite so good as that company had expected it to be. He also believed that an alternate line was necessary to give the public the accommodation they required, and at the same time to secure themselves a fair return.\n\nThis company had put up its tariff to £6, whilst the Great Northern Company were working at £4 10s., but he thought that they were getting as full a share of the traffic as those who went to the expense of telegraphing their messages by both routes.\n\nMr. Forde, a shareholder, said he regretted that the Board had any idea of laying a cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai in conjunction with the Great Northern Company. Such a step would be much in the interests of that company, but against theirs. He must very earnestly urge on the directors the policy of amalgamating with the other companies; a low tariff was only to be obtained by amalgamation. The working expenses of this company—£16,000 on earnings of £85,000—were enormous, and the salaries paid were too high.\n\nMr. HOLMES agreed with Mr. Forde as to the Shanghai line, and he considered the £1,838 for the Agnes repairing ship was excessive, and a contract should be made for the repairs.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in reply to these remarks, said that the laying of the cable to Shanghai was merely foreshadowed, but if done, it must be in conjunction with the Great Northern in good faith, according to the bargain made. The policy of amalgamation was quite approved by the Board; but those things required time, and could not be carried out so speedily as Mr. Forde seemed to think.\n\nWith regard to the expenses, he read a statement of salaries, &c., at each port, and explained that the expenses of living were so high at the stations that the salaries of proper officers must be in proportion. The expense for repairs and maintaining cable would be reduced.\n\nThe directors had no objection to half-yearly meetings. The report was then put and carried, as also the re-election of the Baron d'Erlangen as a director, and two auditors. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.\n\nTHE JAPANESE AT MESSRS. ALLAN, RANSOME AND CO.'S.\n\nYesterday the Minister for Agriculture, with members of his suite, together with American and English employers of labour, visited the works of Messrs. Allan, Ransome, and Co., in King's-road, Chelsea, to view some newly-invented labour-saving machinery of remarkable construction and power.\n\nThe strikes of workmen in the building trades, the increased cost of production in the carpentry and joinery branches of those trades, and the difficulties caused to employers by the restrictions of Trades Unions, have each had their share in directing the attention of engineers to find the means of meeting the pressure caused by the contracted amount of available skilled labour; and the machines exhibited yesterday were in every way so perfect that it is not easy to see how hand labour will hold its own.\n\nThe first machine inspected was a portable saw frame. Any one who has seen the old saw-pits, where the \"top sawyer\" and the \"bottom sawyer\" laboured from morning to night and day after day in cutting a log into planks, would be greatly astonished to see this comparatively small machine, attended only by one man, cut up the body of a large oak into fourteen planks at once, it having twelve saws, which cut through the whole bulk of wood in something less than half an hour.\n\nA mortising machine, the invention of Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia, was set to work, and accurately and cleanly cut in a few moments mortises which would have taken a workman hours.\n\nA moulding machine, for cutting mouldings, did in a minute thirty-five feet of work, which would have taken a skilled workman many hours, and this work could apparently be done by a boy.\n\nIn what was called a \"general joining machine\" there was apparently no limit to the work to be done, the one machine cutting mortises, shaping blocks, planking, carving out banisters, and turning in a few minutes a plain block of wood into a perfectly carved piece of work.\n\nAnother machine, exceedingly small and unpretentious, was shown to be capable of planing any sort of work, oval or flat, and at the same time a revolving chisel cut mortises with celerity and accuracy.\n\nA very fine piece of machinery is one which cuts raised or recessed panels, in other words, which can cut the sunk or raised ornamental work in wood now so highly prized and so dearly paid for, as the best and most skilled.\n\nBy another machine, an American invention, but improved by the Messrs. Ransome, a door can be finished—that is, cleanly sand-papered on both sides—in three minutes.\n\nThe planing and trying-up of work, or what would be properly called the trueing \"up, by which is meant the nice work of making blocks of wood exactly like one another, in order to hand labour, is, by one of Ransome's machines, done at once and perfectly in a few minutes, all the blocks, of whatever size, being placed together and turned out as like as peas, and mathematically correct in every respect.\n\nA band saw machine, by which both fine and rough work was cut in all sorts of shapes, and a saw cutting machine, with F. Ransome's patent stone, were among the other works shown.\n\nWith one or two of these machines an employer with a man and a boy as staff, could turn out as much work as twenty or thirty men, and never be troubled about the nine hours, eight hours, or any other movement.\n\nThe remarkable fact about these machines is that they are not limited to the pattern, shape, or character of wood, for the knives are changed in a few minutes, and whatever the class of work required, it can be done at once.\n\nThe inspection lasted for several hours, and all the visitors expressed themselves delighted with these new machines, some of which are to go to the Vienna Exhibition.\n\nNAVAL AND MILITARY.\n\nThe screw steamer Scotland, Captain James, sailed from Queenstown on the 12th inst. for Singapore and Hong Kong, via the Suez Canal.\n\nThe following are the details of the officers and men who proceed in the Scotland to strengthen the garrisons in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong:-To Singapore, Captain Battye, Lieutenant Armstrong, and 79 men of the 10th regiment and 10 men of the Royal Artillery.\n\nTo Hong Kong, Captain Stone, with 294 men and 19 women and children of the 80th Regiment; an armourer sergeant, a sergeant, and 10 men of the Royal Artillery: and 3 men of the Royal Engineers.\n\nMajor Watson, of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, Captain Hewson, 73rd Foot, and Lieutenant Chevera, of the 73rd Foot, proceed to Hong Kong on duty with the draft of the 80th Regiment, and will afterwards return to Ceylon.\n\nThe medical officer in charge of the troops is Staff Surgeon O'Halloran, who will, after their arrival at their respective stations, proceed to Penang.\n\nThe Mosquito, composite gunboat, 400 tons, and 360-horse power, which was commissioned at Devonport on the 30th ult., for service on the China station, by Lieutenant-Commander William Henry Bond, was moved into Plymouth Sound on the 9th inst., has made the customary trial of her engines, and has embarked her supply of ammunition preparatory to sailing.\n\nLieutenant-Colonel Joseph H. F. H. Hudson, Grenadier Guards, is to be confirmed in his appointment of military secretary to General Henry Renny, in command of the forces in Ceylon.\n\nMONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.\n\nThe suspension of Messrs. Bowles Bros. and Co., noticed in our last issue, has caused the stoppage of the \"Joint National Agency,\" a company formed for general financial and agency purposes in connection with the Japanese now in Europe, amongst whom we are sorry to say are the agents of the Japanese Government, who have lodged Government funds in the hands of the Company.\n\nJudging from the following circular, it seems that the company is utterly crushed, and will be dissolved.\n\n446, Strand, London, 9th November, 1872.\n\nSIR.—With the greatest regret, and by order of the Board of Directors, I have to inform you that in consequence of the sudden and unexpected suspension of payment of one of the bankers of this company, the firm of Messrs. Bowles Brothers and Co., this company has also found it necessary to suspend payment.\n\nIn order at once to secure the assets of the company its immediate winding up has been determined upon, and with this view an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders will be held here at two o'clock in the afternoon, on Tuesday week, the 19th inst., when a resolution will be submitted to the effect that it has been proved to the satisfaction of the company that it cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advisable to wind up the same.\n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nWALTER H. FARRA, Secretary.\n\nFollowing closely on the failure of Joshua, of Singapore, we have telegrams announcing the stoppage of Chang \"Tee, Watseng and Co., and Absoon and Co., both Chinese firms of importance in the Straits and Saigon trade, with heavy liabilities to European firms.\n\nThe mail also brings advices of the failure and arrest for fraud of A. Velge, a commission merchant at Singapore, by which the banks will also lose.\n\nMessrs. Joshua Brothers and Co., of Great Winchester-street, desire it to be stated that their firms, together with the firms of Joshua Brothers, Melbourne, and Joshua Brothers, Mauritius, are in no way related to or connected with the firm of Joshua Brothers, of Singapore, whose suspension has been announced.\n\nCorrespondence from Shanghai by the last two mails has been very gloomy, and failures are expected before the end of the year, notwithstanding the assistance given here to the Silk market by a combination.\n\nBar Silver has again declined, and the nearest quotation we can give is 59d. per oz., at which rate some small parcels have been sold; the market is weak, and a further slight reduction may be looked for.\n\nThe Bank of Holland has decided to buy no more silver at any price. It has hitherto bought silver at 1.104.65 per Dutch pound, and has not varied the price for years.\n\nBANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES.\n\nTELEGRAPH COMPANIES.\n\n£10\n\nChartered Bank Ind., Aust., and China\n\nAll\n\n59 to 54\n\n13 to 15\n\nAll\n\n23 to 25\n\n10\n\n1 to 15\n\n58 to 60\n\nAll\n\nJOINT STOCK BANKS.\n\n£10\n\nAgra Bank\n\n25\n\nBank of Egypt\n\n20\n\n45\n\nChartered Merc. of India and China\n\n20\n\nCity Bank\n\n+14\n\n1.\n\n100\n\nColonial Bank\n\n500fr.\n\nComptoir D'Escompte of Paris...\n\n2291\n\n100\n\nHong Kong and Shanghai Bank\n\n[Imperial Bank\n\n20\n\n28 to 29\n\n50\n\nLondon and County\n\n20\n\n69 to 58\n\n50\n\nLondon Joint Stock\n\n15\n\n48 to 47\n\n100\n\nLondon and Westminster\n\n20\n\n67 to 62\n\nOriental Bank Corporation\n\nAll\n\n$1 to 42\n\n50\n\nUnion of London...\n\n43 to 44\n\n10\n\nBritish Indian Extension\n\nAll\n\n34 to 144\n\n13\n\nBritish Australian...\n\nAn\n\nA to 99\n\n30\n\nChina Submarine.\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nEastern Telegraph Company\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nGreat Northern\n\nAll\n\n10 to 114\n\n25\n\nIndo-European\n\nAll\n\n14 to 30\n\n30\n\nMediterranean Extension\n\nAll\n\n£ to 7\n\n12\n\nTelegraph Construction Company\n\n£24 to 23\n\n60\n\nIndiarubr.,Gutta Percha &Tel.

Shepard, Harrison, and Rehden's Circular says--\n\nDuring the past few days buying, except at auction without reserve (sales of China or Indian growth taking place daily), has been all but suspended, owing to the disturbance in the money market and the advance in the Bank rate, which is now 7 per cent.; arrivals have also been on an exceedingly large scale; buyers therefore act with extreme caution.\n\nAdvices from China, as to ultimate total shipments, state, \"all will depend on prices paid for common Congou;\" as regards this market, there is no encouragement to ship such here; demand has been \"off\" this class for some time, and late imports of what may be fairly classed as \"good common\" are not saleable over 9d.\n\nThe export trade to all quarters has been inactive.\n\nThe public sales of China have comprised 16,117 packages, of which week amount to 8,211,346 lbs., against 3,161,038 lbs. last year.\n\n14,449 packages have been sold without reserve.\n\nThe deliveries for the sales have been...\n\nBlack-Red leaf: No change as to prices for siftings and leafy; good flavoury kinds at 1s. to 1s 1d. have been scarce, but a better selection is offering from ships now discharging; Souchong and Kaisow kinds at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 5d. offer good value; medium to fine at 1s. 6d. to 2s. are hard of sale; finest sells in small lots at 2s. 1d. to 2s. 6d. per lb.\n\nPakling kinds: No demand.\n\nTayshau leaf: Fall supplies are in course of landing; a few sales at 10d. to 1s, for good common and fair.\n\nBlack leaf: In low and ordinary common there have been occasional small sales at 6d. to 7½d.; fair to good common we quote at 8d. to 10d. per lb., and difficult of sale; preferable kinds 1s. 7d, we make rather lower; fine and finest 1s. 8d. to 2s. 2d., limited at 1s. to 1s. 2d. are scarce; medium to good medium at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. are...\n\nSouchong: Few transactions at no alteration in value.\n\nScented Tea, Canton kinds--Caper: There has been fair trade doing, as late good common to fair 10d. to 1s., good to medium 1s. 1d. to 1s. 4d, fine imports are of desirable quality, many parcels being strong scented; 1s. 5d. to 1s. 8d., finest 1s. 9d. to 2s. per lb.\n\nScented Orange Pekoe: Limited supplies, but sufficient for present wants, Foochow growth being in full supply, and selling at a moderate scale of prices.\n\nGreen Large sales by auction without reserve; the imports, ex Glenroy and Ajax, over 800,000 lbs., offering a varied selection, chiefly of Peling Suey leaf, which has sold at an average 1d. per lb. decline, No. 1 Gunpowder selling down to 2s. 11d., other grades in proportion.\n\nSlogane and Fychow leaf, with the comparatively small supply, has been selling at extreme rates.\n\nCanton and Japan kinds: No change.\n\nSILK.\n\nMessrs. Kilburn, Kershaw, and Co. report as follows:--\n\nThe slight improvement in demand which had shown itself recently has been checked by the movements of the money market, and buyers generally seen disposed to wait; there is no change in quotations.",

        "content_text": "one of the numerous bands of pirates who infest the neighbourhood, and several lives were unfortunately lost.\n\nThis accident delayed the work of the Commission, and at one time matters assumed a somewhat serious aspect, as the French had occupied militarily the territory in the neighbourhood of Cape Paklung, and it was known that the Chinese Government had ordered up reinforcements, the territory held by the French being regarded as having always belonged to China. I inclose a sketch of the locality, with explanatory notes, showing the respective claims to the several boundary-lines immediately after the occupation of the Paklung territory by the French.\n\nThis occupation has no doubt materially aided M. Constans in the definitive arrangements for the revision of the Cogordan Convention, as the Chinese Government made no secret of the great importance they attached to the retention by China of the disputed territory. They were evidently willing to make some further sacrifices to attain this object, although not disposed to grant all the concessions said to have been demanded by M. Constans.\n\nHe is believed to have required---\n\n1. That there should be a further reduction of the import and export duties over the frontier, which, as your Lordship is aware, were diminished respectively by one-fifth and one-third of similar duties at the Treaty Ports in accordance with the provisions of Articles VI and VII of the Convention of the 25th April. It is reported that a reduction to one-half of the Maritime Tariff rates was asked for in the case of both imports and exports.\n\n2. That native opium should be permitted to come into Tonquin through the Provinces of Yunnan, Kwang-si, and Kwang-tung, Article XIV of the Convention having prohibited its importation.\n\n3. That salt should be allowed to be exported into China from Tonquin, salt being a monopoly of the Chinese Government.\n\n4. That China would not insist on the right to appoint Consuls in the principal towns of Tonquin, granted by the Vth Article of the Treaty of the 9th June, 1885.\n\n5. That Chinese goods purchased in China by French or French-protected subjects, and reimported into China from Tonquin by one of the Treaty ports, should be charged coasting trade duty only instead of being treated as goods coming from a foreign country and therefore subject to the payment of full import duty according to the Maritime Tariff, as provided for by the three last paragraphs of Article IX of the Convention of the 25th April. The coasting trade duty is 2 1/2 per cent, ad valorem.\n\nWhether the above list contains a perfectly accurate statement of the demands put forward by M. Constans I am unable to say, but I have no reason to think it is otherwise than accurate, although from the secrecy with which the negotiations have been conducted, it has not been easy to ascertain how matters were progressing.\n\nI have, however, now been placed confidentially in possession of a copy of the document in which are recorded the results of M. Constans' negotiations, and I telegraphed its contents to your Lordship to-day. The document itself I have now the honour of inclosing. It takes the form of an Additional Convention, was signed on the 26th ultimo, and has been ratified by the Emperor of China. There are ten Articles :-\n\n## Article I \nprovides that the previous Convention of the 25th April shall be faithfully executed in all its details save where they may have been modified by the late Convention.\n\n## Article II \nspecifies the places in China which, in virtue of the Ist Article of the Convention of the 25th April, are to be opened to French trade. They are three in number: Lungchow, in the Province of Kwang-si; Mongtsze and Manhao, in Yünnan. I understand that the selection of these inland marts gave rise to much controversy. The Chinese Government had offered M. Constans two places only just across the frontier, but the French Plenipotentiary rejected them as valueless. In choosing and obtaining the towns of Lungchow and Mongtsze, M. Constans has gained a considerable advantage. The former is connected with Langson and Caobang by two rivers (Song-ki and Caobang) which are supposed to join the Canton River; but I have not been able to verify this fact from any of the Maps I have had an opportunity of consulting. Mongtsze, on the other hand, is reported to be situated in a mining district. The French will have the privilege of appointing Consuls at the three above-mentioned towns, and the Chinese custom-houses there are to be administered by officers belonging to the foreign Customs Inspectorate.\n\n## Article III \nrefers to the further reduction conceded to France in the frontier import and export duties.\n\nBy the VIth and VIIth Articles of the Convention of the 25th April, goods passing into China from Tonquin were to pay the Treaty port rates, less a fifth, while goods coming from China into Tonquin were to be charged a third less. In the first instance, the reduction is now to be three-tenths, and in the second, four-tenths of the Maritime Tariff duties.\n\n## Article IV \nauthorizes the imposition of an export duty on Chinese products which have paid an import duty on their entry into Tonquin, and have passed through Tonquin to an Annamite port for conveyance to a country other than China.\n\nThe export duty to be paid will be that fixed by the Franco-Annamite Customs Tariff.\n\nBy the XIth Article of the Convention of the 25th April, such goods were to be exempt from any export duty.\n\n## Article V \npermits the import into Tonquin through the three Chinese frontier towns opened to French commerce of native opium on payment to the Chinese Government of an export duty of 40 taels per picul, *i.e.*, 20 taels in the shape of customs duty, and 20 taels by way of li-kin. Should, however, this opium be reimported into China, whether by sea or land, it would be treated as foreign opium, and pay the 110 taels per picul (duty and li-kin) leviable under the Additional Article of the Chefoo Agreement.\n\n## Article VI \npermits French and Annamite vessels, with the exception of vessels of war, or those carrying troops and munitions, to go between Langson and Caobang by the Rivers Song-ki and Caobang, which connect Lung-chow with Langson and Caobang.\n\nA tonnage due is to be charged for each trip, at the rate of one-twentieth of a tael per ton, but the goods carried are not to be subjected to duty.\n\nThese two rivers are those to which I have already alluded as being supposed to join the Canton River.\n\nOn a small Map of Tonquin prepared by the Intelligence Branch of the War Department in July 1883, these two rivers are marked, as well as the towns of Langson and Caobang, and two out of the three Chinese towns opened to French commerce. Lung-chow, however, does not appear, at least under that name.\n\nThe accompanying extract from the \"Revue Internationale\" of the 9th October last, headed \"La Délimitation du Tonkin,\" refers to Lung-chow and the river Song-ki, and to the possibility of reaching the sea from Lung-chow by the Canton River.\n\n## Article VII \ncontains a most-favoured-nation clause of a decidedly more comprehensive kind than is to be found in the concluding paragraph of the VIIth Article of the Convention of the 25th April.\n\nFrance is to have the full right of enjoying, without further negotiations, all privileges, immunities, and commercial advantages which may hereafter be granted by Treaties having for their object the settlement of political and commercial relations between China and countries situated to the south and south-west of the Chinese Empire.\n\nIt is unnecessary, of course, to say that this Article has reference to Burmah and other British possessions.\n\n## Article VIII \nrecords the fact of the French and Chinese Plenipotentiaries having signed and sealed the French and Chinese texts of the Convention.\n\n## Article IX \nputs in force the stipulations of the Additional Convention from the date on which the ratifications thereof and of the Convention of the 26th April shall have been exchanged, precisely as if those stipulations had been inserted in the earlier Convention.\n\n## Article X \nstates that the Additional Convention shall be ratified at once by the Emperor of China, and that as soon as it shall have been ratified by the President of the French Republic, the ratifications shall be exchanged at Peking.\n\n## Annex \nto the Convention explains that by a note dated the 23rd June last the Chinese Government engages not to claim the right granted by the Vth Article of the Treaty of the 9th June, 1885, of appointing Consuls in the principal towns of Tonquin, until she and France are of opinion that circumstances will admit of the appointments. It is, however, further provided in a note that whenever Chinese Consuls shall be appointed at Hanoi and Haiphong (Article II of the Convention of the 26th April, 1886) France shall have the right to appoint Consuls at the capitals of the Provinces of Yünnan and Kwang-si.\n\nThe terms of this Additional Convention are unquestionably more favourable than those in the preceding Convention of the 25th April, to which they relate; but I am not disposed to think that until the French Protectorate of Tonquin and Annam shall have \n## Page 434",

Ferry's work of establishing an Indo-Chinese possession for France, is the reduction of the credits which the French Chambers are annually asked to vote for the Protectorate.\n\nI remember that when M. de Freycinet was at the head of the French Government after M. Ferry's defeat on the Indo-Chinese policy, he used as an argument in favour of a continuance of that policy on a limited scale, his conviction that very shortly the Protectorate of Tonquin and Annam would be found to be self-supporting. The Tonquin Credits of, I think, 30,000,000 fr., were at the time pending before the Chambers, and M. de Freycinet's argument had a great deal to say to their being voted. Still, these Credits have, unless I am mistaken, steadily remained at the same figure, and looking to the opposition they encounter on each occasion of the Estimates being submitted to the Chambers, it is not surprising that efforts should be made to increase by every available means the local sources of revenue in Tonquin and Annam.\n\nThis will account for M. Constans' anxiety to obtain the withdrawal of the prohibition on the importation of Chinese opium into Tonquin by way of the frontier.\n\nIn addition to the export duty to be collected by China, such opium will, of course, be taxed on its arrival in Tonquin.\n\nHad M. Constans succeeded in persuading the Chinese Government to allow salt to pass from Tonquin into China, the French would have charged an export duty; and he has succeeded in getting their consent to Chinese products, transiting Tonquin to an Annamite port, for export to a country other than China, being subjected to the Franco-Annamite Tariff rates.\n\nAs regards the further reduction in the frontier import and export duties by the **frd Article** of the Additional Convention, it is in reality so slight that possibly it will be held by Her Majesty's Government as not more calculated for the moment to injure British trade entering China by the Treaty ports under the Maritime Tariff, than the previous reduction of one-fifth and one-third obtained under the Convention of the 25th April, 1886.\n\nThis point was thoroughly investigated by Her Majesty's Government, in consultation with the Board of Trade and the Chambers of Commerce in England on the occasion of the signature of the Treaty of Peace of the 9th June, 1885, and the Commercial Convention of the 25th April of the following year, and taking the despatches marked in the margin as a record of the opinion formed at the time, it would seem to have been admitted that, looking to the defective means of internal communication in the French Protectorates, the difference of duty need not be looked upon as conferring any material preference or advantage on France over the other nations interested in the Chinese Treaty ports, provided that corresponding advantages are secured to Great Britain with respect to the frontier trade of Burmah and the navigation of the southern rivers of China.\n\nWhile the negotiations between the Chinese Government and M. Constans were going on, I took an opportunity of letting the Ministers of the Tsung-li Yamên understand that, although it was neither my duty nor my intention to throw any obstacles in the way of their coming to a satisfactory arrangement with my French colleague, which, on the contrary, I earnestly desired, I thought it only right to caution them against making any concessions to France which would give her an unfair advantage over other friendly Powers, and so cause embarrassment to China. In such an eventuality, I should unhesitatingly take steps for the protection of British interests and their Treaty privileges.\n\nThe answer to my message was to the effect that the most-favoured-nation clause in existing Treaties with China referred solely to intercourse between foreign nations and China through the Treaty ports, and could not, therefore, be made available for securing privileges granted to any Power in connection with overland intercourse.\n\nI did not push the matter further, because I knew China to be in great straits on account of the occupation of the French of the Paklung territory, and also because I had no reason whatever to doubt that, when the moment arrived for a definite arrangement of the trade between Burmah and Yunnan, China would be perfectly prepared to give us a not less favourable Tariff than she had conceded to France.\n\nA great deal has been said about the advantages to be derived from opening a port on the West Canton River. I am inclined to think that those who are in favour of such a plan may not impossibly have exaggerated the commercial benefits to be derived from it, which would, moreover, be equally shared by the French and other nations having Treaties with China.\n\n## SKETCH OF THE PAKLUNG DISTRICT\n\n| Location | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| A | From X to Pei Shih, the frontier line is under discussion. |\n| B | From Pei Shih (river frontier to sea and then short sea frontier, Blue and Red line) to Chu Shan (Chu Shan is Chinese Territory) the blue and red line is accepted by both sides as the Frontier Line. |\n| C | From Chu Shan the line dotted red to Tombeau and from Tombeau to A is the line traced by the French as being their frontier line, but they propose to run it to B only, provided the Chinese agreed to their line of frontier from Chu Shan to Tombeau (Chinese did not agree). |\n| D | Chinese run their line of frontier from Chu Shan to Cape Paklung (blue line); and of course embracing Cape Paklung. |\n| E | Though French maintain their right to frontier to point A, they limit disputed (contested) territory to the horse shoe shaped tract of country from Chu Shan to Cape Paklung, passing by Tombeau and point B. |\n\nPage 4\n\nKamoon & Huth, Lith.

Had France, for instance, obtained under one of her old Treaties the right to appoint Consuls in the interior of China, we could certainly have claimed an equal right to do so. But, in the present case, the appointment of Consuls by France in the provinces bordering on Tonquin has special reference to a border trade Treaty, and not to the open port Treaties.\n\nUnder our recent Convention with China on the Burmah and Thibet questions, I do not for a moment suppose that, when it comes to be formally executed, China would contest our right to appoint Consuls in Chinese provinces adjoining our possessions.\n\nAlthough nothing is said in the Additional Convention of the intention of the French to retire from the Paklung territory in return for the further concessions now made by China to France, they will do so on the exchange of ratifications. The Boundary Commissions have all been withdrawn, as the frontier is now considered as having been finally traced. I presume that the line between Tonquin and the Province of Kwangtung must have been settled in accordance with the wishes of the Chinese Government, as explained in the notes to the sketch I have inclosed.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**JOHN WALSHAM**\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n**Sketch**\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Additional Convention between France and China.

        "content_text": "cording to the law. In his reply to the governor, of which I obtained a copy through the German Consul, the magistrate of Tsang-shing, with whom we have no relations at all, confirms the truth of the whole story as I have told above, adding that the Catholic Christians of Pak-kong and neighbourhood are known to be lawless people, always bent on mischief. He even goes so far as to call their teacher (a Chinese) \"a chief of evil doers, an originator of calamities.\"* The Protestant Christians of that district,\" he goes on to say, \"were, so far as he knew them, a law-abiding people, mostly consisting of farmers and shopkeepers, not daring to cause disturbances or to act wrongly.\"†\n\nNevertheless the Chinese government remains inactive. The evil doers escape unpunished. More than that; they are allowed to pursue their nefarious activities. No one dares to attack them, because they are screened under \"the protecting banner\" of the church, or rather of France.\n\nIn his memorial presented to the governor, the magistrate mentions the fact that most of the evil doers being Tung-kau people, belong to the jurisdiction of his colleague, the magistrate of Tang-kau. This man knows the individual names of the evil doers and could deal with them one by one. He has been ordered by the governor and entreated by Mr. Zahn to arrest them. All in vain. He would be the last to do it, since he himself, though a heathen, is so entirely in the hands of the Catholics. His secretary, by whose help he obtained part of the money to buy his post, is a \"Catholic.\" Some time ago this man was guilty of embezzlement as a lottery office keeper in Canton. Prosecuted by the governor, he fled to the Catholics, and was accepted by them. Now he is, as I have said, secretary to the Tang-kon magistrate, and carries out his exactions under the \"banner\" of the church. Part of the gentry of Tang-kan applied the other day to the governor at Canton to put this man on his trial as a prisoner. All in vain. Screened by the church he is unassailable, though he has been, and still is, one of the vilest of characters. Since this man is known to be acting in concert with some of the inmates of the Catholic chapel at Tung-kun, it is not to be wondered at that the magistrate dares to remain inactive; but I hope the last word has not yet been spoken. Though we are obliged to put upon ourselves some kind of restriction on account of the undesired rapprochement between Germany and France, we trust that power enough is left in the hands of our Consul to insist that the terms agreed upon shall be carried out effectively, the more so since the French Consul has given him the explicit assurance that the engagements entered into shall be fulfilled.\n\n* G*. \n\n†十白红腿音教民或淼店營生或脂为您漿大箾安分未敢滋事為非\n\nEnclosure 1.\n\nBEWEEN ROMAN QUARRELS \n\nCATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT \n\nMISSIONS.\n\n(Daily Press, 11st September, 1899.) The keen animosity that prevails between Roman Catholics and Protestants in China, and the attempts made by rival factions of Natives to secure the support of the missionaries in their local disputes and clan fights, are calculated to raise a crop of serious difficulties. From various parts of the country accounts come to hand from time to time of fights between the adherents of the two forms of the Christian religion, and with the growth of Christian communities in numbers, power, and influence, we may eventually see something in the nature of a pseudo-religious war break out, if the missionaries cannot succeed in controlling their congregations better than they seem to be able to do at present.\n\nThe Ostasiatische Lloyd in a recent number published a remarkable story of an occurrence almost on the borders of our own colony, namely, in the Tungkan district, which has a direct bearing upon this question. The story is prefaced by a few remarks to the effect that the disorder in Kwangsung exercises a prejudicial influence upon the peaceable development of the missions in the South, that mixed up in the disturbances are found Christians who, as so often happens in Kwangtung, try to make political and personal gain out of their religion, and that in quarrels not infrequently the hangers on of the Catholics are to be found on the one side and those of the Protestants on the other.\n\nThe narrative of the particular occurrence in question has reached our contemporary in a fragmentary form and with what are evidently bold embellishments, but the editor has heard something of the other side of the case and endeavours to hold the scales fairly. It is stated that on Saturday, the 28th July, Herr FRANZ ZAHN, a Rhenish missionary stationed in Tungkun, was informed by a few of the local Christians that the village of Pak-kung, an out-station of the mission, had been attacked by a band of some three hundred men under the direction of the French priest, Father JULIEN, during the night, and had been plundered. Herr ZAHN, to whom the statement seemed incredible, immediately set out for the place, accompanied by an evangelist, to ascertain the facts. On his arrival at Pakkung he was immediately surrounded by a band of some twenty men armed with swords, pistols, and knives, who threw him to the ground and robbed him, the clothes being torn off his back. The evangelist fared no better. Herr ZAHN was then dragged into the Catholic chapel, bound hand and foot, his neck was loaded with a heavy steel chain, and he was thus placed before Father JULIEN. The latter, holding a gun in his left hand and with his fist raised, sprang towards Herr ZAHN, and seemed to be directing the people, so that Herr ZAHN took him for the head robber. In the presence of this man Herr ZAHN was also beaten and derided. To the question why he had come there Herr ZAHN made answer that he wished to visit and speak with Father JULIEN, \"That is he,\" said all, pointing to the leader.\n\n\"We must omit,\" says the Ostasiatische Lloyd, \"what took place between the two Europeans. Our authority was not present at the interview and to avoid misunderstanding we must confine ourselves to what was reported to him.\" This apparently cautious statement throws suspicion on the whole narrative, for it is evidently founded on hearsay through Chinese at that, for he. Herr Zahn being the original authority he would have been able to report the conversation. However, passing over the interview, the narrative goes on to say that on Sunday morning, after they had been compelled to sign a document which they afterwards learnt was a statement that they parted in peace, Herr ZAHN and his companion were released, and almost dead with fatigue they arrived back at Tungkun. The matter has since been represented to the German Consulate.\n\nOur contemporary's authority continues:-\"It is high time something was done. The French priests carry themselves as if they were already lords of Kwangtung, and they will take advantage of the weakness of the Chinese Government to further strengthen their position. The latter knows too well what is going on to be ignorant of the priests with arms threatening not only Chinese life and property, but also the Protestant missionaries.\"\n\nFrom another source the Ostasiatische Lloyd learns that Father JULIEN afterwards explained that it was correct that he had become involved in a disturbance, but stated that he was not opposed to Herr ZAHN, as the latter seemed to assume, and that when he sprang forward at the time of their interview it was for the purpose of appeasing the mob and restraining them from outrage. Our contemporary continues:-\"In any case a searching enquiry by the German authorities will be necessary. Father JULIEN afterwards excused himself to Herr ZAHN and stated that the Protestants would be compensated by the Catholic mission for their actual losses. Also it seems that Father JULIEN is shortly leaving Pakkung for another district, and that he had only gone there a few months before in compliance with a request from people who, it transpired, lived in contention with their neighbours and were desirous of securing the aid of the Catholic mission.\" Such is the information concerning this remarkable case furnished by our Shanghai German contemporary.\n\nNo one will for a moment believe that the Roman Catholic priest was in any way personally responsible for the outrages to which Herr ZAHN was subjected, and if the latter, as alleged, signed a document stating that they parted in peace it is incredible that he would do so in ignorance of its contents. So far therefore as the personal relations of Father JULIEN and Herr ZAHN are concerned no complaint seems to lie against the former. The incident, however, affords an indication of a peculiar and important movement that is going on in China, but one which does not often obtrude itself on the notice of foreign residents and which is therefore not likely to receive the attention it deserves. All over China the assistance of the missionaries is in request for political and pecuniary reasons, and keen rivalry exists between the Protestants and Roman Catholics. It is only occasionally that such a state of affairs is brought into prominence, but this happens occasionally, when such incidents as that at Pakking are recorded, and it was only the other day that Bishops of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches were engaged in a newspaper controversy at Shanghai respecting the rights and wrongs of a quarrel between their respective adherents in one of the districts in which the clergy of both Churches are at work.",
