A.
TREATY WITH CHINA
At Last Signed by All the
Foreign Powers.
CARRIES OUT HAY'S PURPOSE
Llkin Tax Is Presumably Done Avry
"With. 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.

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

cent murder of two men of the Twenty
seventh Infantry was plotted. A small

Mindanao, August 12, killing two and
wounding one American. They were
from Bacalod. which has a strong fort
and other defen6. Bitter opposition
to the Americans exist at Bacalod. and
Captain Pershing, of the Fifteenth Cava!
ry, commanding the American forces at
Lake Lano, recommended the reduction
of the fort.
General Chaffee, who left Manila on a
final tour of inspection, reached Sam
boanga. Island of Mindanao, last Friday.
In a conference with the local command
er. General Chaffee argued that " unless
the American forces moved decisively
ncalnst the hostlles they would lose
the support of the friendly Moros.
