INTERESTS IN CHINA. J
American Interests In China appear
to be prospering. So far aa it has been
formulated, the new commercial treaty
ems to be well devised for the advant
age of both countries. There la to be
a alight Increase In tariff rates, which
will be good for China, though we are
not sure that It will be at ail bad for
this country. On the other hand, the
detestable Ukln Is to be abolished,
which will certainly be good for us.
and probably not at all bad for the
Imperial government In China, however
much it may bear against local plun
derers in that country. It does not so
much matter whether the Chinese tar
iff rate la 10 or 15 or even H per cent.
What does matter Is that It shall be
uniform to all countries, and also that
when the duties are once paid at the
custom house the goods shall be free
to go anywhere In the empire without
further Imposts. ; 1
The question of opening additional
ports tn Manchuria Is still unsettled,
lor reasons' which need not be detail
ed here, but which are pretty generally
understood and appreciated. Those
reasons are akin to those which prom
pted the attempt to remove the nego
hUions from Shanghai to Peking; an
ittemnt which has now apparenly been
frustrated by the earnest opposition of
the United States and Japan, says the
New York Tribune. It certainly seems

the special Influences of any one na
tion. It la Just about the most im

city in all China, while at Peking some
one power Is usually selfishly In the
ascendant. '
- It is to be hoped that the negotiations
so well begun will be conducted at
Shanghai to a successful ending, In
the completion of a treaty which will
open the Chinese door more widely to
the commerce and Intercourse of the
world, and will make the permanent
and impartial opening of that door still ;
more secure.

j QUEENS OF THE OCEAN.
For some time not much has been
heard of the new ships which the Cun
ard line was to build to win back to
the British flag the laurels of the fast
est Atlantic voyage. In the Glasgow
Herald of June 6, however, there ap
pears an article which states that ne
gotiations were then going on for the
building of these vessels, and, while no
contracts had been signed, it was only
a question of time when they would be.
Not only has it been difficult to find
firms willing to contract to build ves-

Thi dimensions of these new liners
