LONDON, Sept. 2.-The London Times to-day
devotes Its leading columns to an analysis OF
the treaty recently concluded by the United
States Government with the Emperor Of
China, through the Embassy now visiting
America.
The Times says England is more interested
in China than In other powers. Her commerce
with that country is larger; and, since the
treaty OF Pekin, her relations with its gov

sisted the Imperial authorities in putting
down the Tapping rebellion. England is the
proper power for China to employ as q me-

tiuns. But this treaty with the United States
aiming to restore the old exclusive policy has
been rightly entrusted to the manipulation Of
foreign councillors, who advise what 10 In
possible, viz: the restoration Of a retrograde
system.

concession from the United States, but that,

of railroad and telegraphic improvement.
