TARIFF IN CHINA
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. Under the
tariff agreement which was put In
final form on Friday at a meeting of
the Root committoe on draft, the Chi
nese would be permitted to levy a cus
toms duty of five per cent effective In
place of an actual 3 Mi per cent, which

000 Chinese tnllara.
In addition, the agreement provides
that immediate steps be taken for a
special conference representing China
and the powers charged with the duty
of preparing the way for the speedy
abolition of the Likln and the bringing
Into effect of the surtaxes provided for
in the treaties between China and
Great Britain of 1902 and China and
the United Btates and Japan of 1903."
This conference, llkewiso will have
put into effoct tho surtax of 2 per
cent' Hdvalorem, which In expected to
menn an additional rovenue of approx
imately 27,000,000 Chliieso dollars. .
The surtax on luxuries would, ac
cording to tho estlmntos, provide a
further revenue of 2,167,000 Chinese
dollars, a total additional revenue to
