TO HERR Von Brandt
Kwang Sü, 6th year, 2nd month, 21st day.
(Peking, March 31st, 1880.)
With regard to the stipulation contained in the second Article of the Supple- mentary Convention concluded on occasion of the Treaty revision, that German sailing-ships which lie for a longer time than fourteen days in Chinese ports shall only pay for the time beyond that term the moiety of the tonnage dues settled by Treaty, the Plenipotentiaries of the two contracting parties have agreed and declared that the said stipulation shall first of all be introduced by way of trial, and that in case on carrying it out practical difficulties should arise, another stipula- tion may be put in its place on the basis of a renewed joint discussion by both parties.
(PRINCE KUNG AND THE MINISTERS OF THE TSUNG-LI Yamen).
