Portugal Embnrrasied Pro ceedings by Insisting Upon . . tL Quid pro Quo. WASHINGTON", Aug. 17. Tho Stato De partment has received, a dispatch from T. S. Eharretts, the Treasury expert, -who was commissioned by tho State Depart ment to negotiate a tariff treaty between tho United Statea and China, statins that the treaty -was signed on the 15th Inst., and that he "would 6all for the United States on tho first steamer. The announcement contained In Mr. Sharretts' brief statement to the State Department brings to a successful con clusion negotiations which have been in progress for many months for a tariff treaty between China and this country. It was stipulated as one of tho features of the peace agreement between China and the foreign powers at the close of the Boxer outbreak that an entirely new fabric to tra.de treaties should bo made. This carried out the purpose Secretary Hay had maintained throughout, the de sire being to open up foreign communica tions with the interior of China and thug gain access to the vast markets of the empire. Following the conclusion of the peace arrangements, Mr. Sharretts was selected to carry on the tariff negotiations in behalf of the United States. This selec tion was due to his long familiarity with tariff affairs, as he had assisted in the framing of the recent tariff legislation before Congress and ijad also served as one of the general appraisers of J'ew York. He went to China about a year ago and has since been engaged In work ing out the details of a tariff agreement. It was announced about a month ago that the British Commissioners had con cluded a tariff treaty with China and it was understood at that time that the British treaty would serve as a basis for similar treaties with the United States and other foreign countries. The State Department was advised at the time that the rates ot imports entering China were 12& per cent and the export duties V&. per cent. One of the most Important provisions of the British-China treaty was that abolishing the llkin tax. It Is presumed that similar rates are made in the American treaty and that the llkin tax Is abolished as far as it re lates to American goods in transit. The llkin tax has been one of the most burdensome exactions of the antiquated Chinese system, as it was levied by tho of ficials at various points throughout the in terior without uniformity and often with less regard for commercial ends than for the enrichment of the unscrupulous local officials. Tho abolition of the local llkin tax will go to encourage foreign trade and traffic In the Interior of China. Mr. Sharretts dispatch is dated at Shanghai and does not go Into detail re garding the treaty he has signed. CHINA NOT VET SIGNED. But Not Likely to Decline Portugal's EmbarrasMtngr DcruiintU. LONDON, Aug. 17. In a dispatch from Shanghai, the correspondent of the Times says the protocol of the tariff treaty was signed yesterday (Saturday) by the Brit ish, American, German and Japanese rep resentatives without reservation, and by the Austrian, Belgian and Dutch repre sentatives by adopted referendum. This acon, continues the Times correspond ent, was principally due to the American Commissioner (T. S. Sh.arr.etts) desiring to conclude the business before returning to the United States. The Chinese Com missioner, lacking imperial sanction, did not sign the protocol, therefore If China modifies it, the signatures affixed yester day will be void. The document provides that the new tariff become operative November 1. Portugal, adds the correspondent, com plicates the situation by claiming a con cession of two small islands near Macao, and the right to build a railroad from Macao to Canton as a quid pro quo for her acceptance of the new tariff. This incident, says the representative of the Times, in conclusion, illustrates the dif ficulty underlying this whole question, China Should Promote Commerce. SHANGHAI. Aug. 17. Liu Kun Yl Chanir Chin Tn Viceroys respectively of Nankin, Hankow uuu uuvwnor ot .f ecniu, in separate con ferences with T. S. Sharretts.

UNITED STATES OF EUROPE, Political Union for Economto Protec tlon, Says Strasburg: Professor. BERLIN, Aug. 17. Baron August Sar torius von Waltershausen, professor of political economy at Strasburg, and one of the leading German authors on Ameri can subjects, will contribute a striking article to the forthcoming number of Zeitschrift fur Social "Welssebschaft, on the United States of Central Europe. The writer will argue that tho Central European stages will sooner or later bo compelled to erect a common tariff bar rier against the alms of the United .States to economic ascendency or against those of Great Britain, with greatly moderated tariffs and perhaps free trade between themselves. Baron von "Waltershausen believed that eventually a complete po lltical union between Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland is probable, and this union will give these countries on impregnable economic posl tlon. The baron will argue also that great states like the United States and. Russia possess recuperative powers superior to those of the isolated and small countries of western Europe. In support of this statement he Instances the fac't that the United States issued loans at 7 per cent at 'the end of the Civil "War and refunded those loans at 2 per cent in 1892. BERLIN BOURSE IRREGULAR, Heavy Bank Losses Curtailed Busi nessGerman, Crop Damage. BERLIN, Aug. 17. The Bourse last week had an Irregular tendency. The week opened with the appearance of the semi-annual statement of the Deutsche Geneossenschaft's Bank, admitting heavy losses through unfortunate industrial ven- tures and calling for a stockholders meet ing to reduce the capital of the bank by 0,000,000 marks. Later came the announce ment of tho Redenhuette Iron "Works, with an assessment upon the sharehold ers. This caused a fall in the iron com pony's shares from 46 to I? during tho week. The' breaking off of relations be tween the Hamburg-American Steam Packet Company and the Coal Syndicate also had an adverse effect upon -speculation. Theeo events, however, beyond further contracting the volume ot transactions, especially In securities, for the monthly sgttfement, exercised a comparatively slight Influence on the Bourse. German S per cents and Prussian consols weak ened upon tho vhlgher tendency in dis count rates ana the listing of the latest Issues of these securities at London, which is Interpreted as meaning prepara tion for new loans this Fall.. This, how ever, the Frankfurter Zeltung again au thoritatively denies. Nevertheless there were considerable short sales of German Zs and Prussian consols. The weakness of the Bourse was fol lowed Friday and Saturday by a much stronger tone, as a result of the strength of the London mining market and the Canadian crop report. The latter caused active trading in Canadian Pacific, and with the exception of government securi ties this activity spread Itself to domes tic shares. The damage to German harvests pro duces the belief that there will be a large import of Russian grain; there Wi3 con sequently an advance of 2 points In the shares of private railroads In East Prus sia. The recovery at tho end of the week carried coal shares several points above the quotations of August 9. Irons were also In part slightly higher. Machinery and electrical shares were mostly lower during the week; thoso of the Shuckert Electrical Company, of Nuremburg, and the Continental Elec trical Company were especially weak. Hamburg-American Steam Packet Com pany and North German Lloyd shares were slightly higher, in spite of the fact that Hamburg was selling on the Bourse here. London Market Maintains Strength. LONDON, Aug. 17. Tho money market Is maintaining Its active strength. The advance in rates of discount are consid ered justified by the fact that the Bank of England Is controlling the market, and by the possibility that the advantage of a bank rate will liter be found necessary. The Stock Exchange has gone through; another settlement without seriously crlp pllng any Important stocks; it is conse quently cheerful, although the volume of business has not materially Increased. Notwithstanding lower prices and con siderable liquidation, the week end wit nessed some renewed activity. There was no demand for British railroad shares, but they were steady In spite of decreased earnings. Kaffirs have been bought up considerably since the reports ot new min eral discoveries. MONEY FOR FILIPINOS. Turkish Loan Plan May Be Intro duced in the Archipelago. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Som data re garding mortgage loans to small land holders under Government supervision has been forwarded to Judge Henry C Ide, Secretary of Finance In the Phil ippines, by Charles A. Conant, who wag In the Philippines last Summer for the purpose of studying coinage and bank ing conditions. Mr, Conant says It ap pears that mortgage loans under Gov ernment guaranty are successful, even under tho conditions existing in Turkey, and that Lord Cromer is preparing to ex tend the system in Egypt Tho National Bank of Egypt has already made loans of about $2,000,000 of this character, but as it Is a commercial bank it is in disposed to lock up further capital in this form of security. A new bank is. therefore, In process of formation to engage exclusively in small mortgage and agricultural loans. The government Is to guarantee dividends of 3 per cent on the capital, and is. to employ the pub lic tax gatherers, if necessary, to col lect the interest on loans. Mr. Conant said today: I have sent some information on this subject to the Philippine Commission, in the belief that they might una it useful if they wleh to prepare a similar project for the Philippines. If such a plan suc ceeds in developing the agricultural re sources of Turkey and Egypt, and there Is sufficient sense of financial responsi bility among these people to prevent se rious looses. It is possible that similar benefits could be obtained in the Phil ippines. I know that some means of aid ing the farmers is a serious question. vers' clcee to tho heart of Governor Taf t and Judse Ide. There is already a Spanish law in the Philippines permit ting the creation of mortgage oanKs. out It apparently needs the support of an active initiative of the Government to put a plan of relief for the small farm ers In practical operation. Governor Taft and his associates have so many nroblems before them that It probably will be some time before they will oe able to take this up. but It will be greatly for the benefit of the Filipinos when they are able to borrow enough to equip them selves with tho best, seeds and with modern tools." MINDANAO'S SITUATION CRITICAL. Moros Show Bitter Opposition to tho Americans. MANILA. Aug. 17. The Moro situation In Mindanao is considered critical, and it is believed that American troops will soon move against Bacalod, where the re cent murder of two men of the Twenty seventh Infantry was plotted.
