THE CHINA LEAGUE,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY FRES9,"
London, 6th August S-I enclose copy of a letter addrossed by the bine League to Lord Lansdowne on the subject of the Tariff Revision in China 1 trust you will thlik the subject of sufficient public interest to give the letter a place in your columns. As further and faller information on the abject comes to hand the conviction is forced upon the China League that Lord Crantoque's statement of the result of the negotiations in the Foreign Offee Debate of 26th ult, is incomplete and misleading. The concessions obtained from the Chinese Imperial Government in return for increased Import Duties slesaribed by Layed Cranborne as faci Kitating the river approaches of the Peilio and the Yangtze," appear to be of more question able value than might have been inferred from tlist statement. According to the Times correspondent in Peking (30th July) foreign interests in Shanghai, are to be taxed for 20. years to provide one half cost of improving the river approach of the Yangteze and Whang poo. So this so-called concession, instead of being a benefit companting for the incressed import duties, is intended to impossa further Burdon on British trade and British interests at Shanghai. The inclusion in tho & por cont tariff of goods, now on the free at will, if agreed to form another contribution by for eignors to the cost of a war entered upon by the Chinese Government for their extermination -- Yours, etc.

(Enclosure) and August. MY LORD,-On the 19th June, I had the honour of addressing your Lordship ba behalf of the China League on the subject of raising the Import Daties in China to an effective 5 per cent, protesting against, such an increase without compensating
advantages to British
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, 1901
The Chins League is strongly of opiulon that the one appropriate, ebrions and equi table countervailing concession for the raising. of the Import Tariff is an effective Traunft Pasesystem as provided for in Article XXVIII of the Treaty of Tientein.
In comfelagion, I have the honour to draw your Lordship's attention to Article XXVI of the Treaty of Tientsin, which in the League's opinion has an important bearing upon the present question. Reference to the text of that article will show that in 1858 the fall in values of certain goods since the date of the Nanking Treaty, having made it advisable that the Tariff be revised, tariff revision, intended to rostore a fair 5 per cent, rate, was by Treaty agreed upon by E. M.'s Government and the Chinose. Tho
League conditions calling for the is of opinion that, revision to-day being identical, no alteration should be permitted to take place in the Tariff excapt hy process of Treaty,
If medication of the Maritime duties is to result from negotiations conducted by H. M's Minister at Pekin, acting in concert with the of other representatives
(uncommercial)
nations, the precedent must be fraught with prave danger. The Treaty of Tientsin provides in Article XXVII the recognised procedure which the League considors the only safe ono for Tariff Revision.
I am instructed to inform Lordship that the League is forwarding copies of this letter to certain Chambers of Commerce interested in the China Trade and to the Press.

A special correspondent of the Nagaraki Prese, who is on his way to Europe via the Trans Siberian Railway, has just paid a visit to Port Arthur. From an interesting account of his tisit sent to the press we make the following extracts:It is certainly true (he says) that, having railway connection with the trans-Sibthe 11th inst. orlan line from Russis to Vladivostock, this places the Russians to somewhat better advan. tags than in possessed by any other European ation which has naval or military stations in the part of the world, but it must not be forgot
this trans-Siberian railway is anything but complete, or even well built; and it has yot to be proved how it would stand the strain in the event of war taking place out here between Russia and any other power. No one realisos those various sources of weakness more than the high Russian officers and strategists the
elves, and it is therefore not very astonishing to find that the Government of the Tsar is taking advantage of the present opportunity of quietude in political affairs in the East to make Port Arthing as strong, as self-contained, and as self-supporting as is possible in view of future eventualities. Just to show how even natural causes affect the railways in Manobarin, a few heavy rainstorms fell during the whole of the best part of this month and caused so many waskaways of embankments and bridges that the traffic on the line between here and Delny is completely disorganised.

“We have agreed that that: (2.6., Import Tariff) shall be raised to the full 5 por cont. but not unenaditionally. We do not think that in the interests of British Trade it would be reasonable to agree to raising of the duty except In return for certain concessions, and the form

A correspondent of a home contemporary. writing from Kieff last month, said:--
Shortly after the trath of the massacre of the Chloose natives in Blagovestschensk by Russian troops last Autumn became publicly known to all Europe, and was demonstratively confirmed and proved by a number of inde pendent eye-witnesses, as well as by the tacit admissions of the Amtur authorities themselves, it was oficially announced that a rigorous in- vestigation of all the circumstances of that event would be subsequently instituted. In a half-hearted way, the leading Metropolitan journals affirmed at the time that such an Russian Army, inquiry was necessary to the honour of the

There is some attempt at a form of municipal government for the present old ram shackle town, and sons of the leading civil residents are on the Council, but, as all the funds are Imperial and none are supposed to be spent on purely local innnicipal wants, the state of affairs and the powers of the so-called local council may easily to imagined.

Where the streets have been metalled dust reigns supreme, and where maca- dan is not, there mud of the deepest and stickiest character more than supplies its place. The buildings are all of the very flimsiest and temporary types, one storey in height, many below the water lavel, and the only evidence of civilisation to be found in the place (beyond guns, barracks, prostitutes, and grog-shops) is the telephone. There is no public water supply, no lighting system, no drainage or attempts of any kind at sowerage; no police, and no trams or buses. Bickshas are plentiful, but, sh, 30 dirty and neglected and a few pair horse Russian carriages (Drolakys) ply for hire only about the centres of businesss at 11 robles an hour.
