WASHINGTON, July 1.-The new
| Chinese treaty cOntaines some impor-
tant provisions not indicated in last
night dispatches. On the other hand
/ in some respects hardly warrants the
Interpretation given to it by Senator's
at the first and hasty reading. The
talk in the diplomatic gallery circle
seems to indicate, moreover, that GER
tain provisions in the first draft bave
finally been omitted entirely, or aTs
reserved for supplemental action. While
the treaty, therefore, is not specific in
the matter of reciprocity as TO articles
for expectation and importation, IL Is
very broad in its provisions for general
commercial intercourse, and is in5en-
ded to bring China fully into the
family of civilized nations. The
following is furnished from what is
believed to be entirely reliable sources
as a careful abstract Of its chief prOvis-
ions:
The Emperor Of China in the treaty
declines to cede the right Of eminent
domain in any Of his lands or water to
the citizens of foreign countries, but
gives them the privilege Of residing
on the land and trading in certain
waters and will protect citizens OF
the United States living in his empire
from an attack by powers hOstiletO our
own country. We are not to attack
the citizens of any other county living
in his dOminiOns, but may defend our
selves if assailed.
The Emperor reserves his right fur
isdietiOn over persons and property Of
American citizens resident in China,
unless it is expressly ceded by treaty.
He also reserved the right to make
regulations as to trade ON his rivers
and in his cities, but stipulates that
they shall be made in q liberal spirit.
We give him the right to appoint con-
suls to our ports. They agree that
they shall have the same privileges as
those Of European nations.
The widest religious liberation is
granted to citizens of either country
while residing in the other. Right of
persons to change their homes and
citizenship is warmly recognized,
and free migration will be encouraged.
We are to pass laws making il high
penal Offense to bring Chinese subjects
away from China without voluntary
consent, and are to give all the prOtec-
tiOn of our laws to such as come
here to live. Citizens Of either
country migrating TO the other are to
beput upon the most favorable footing
with respect to privileges and immu-
mites.
We are to join hands with the EN-
perOr in bringing about a uniform
money standard, reciprocal priveleges
and advantages in the schools Of each
country, andare pledged that nOreligi-
Gus or political tests are to be applied.
We are to allow the Emperor to en-
plOy engineers and skilled mechanics

improvements.
It may be added TO the foregoing
summary, that it processes to give
some of the leading features ola treaty
which was signed by Messrs. Seward
and Burlingame, the latter Of whom Is
styled Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister PlenipOtentiary. The treaty
was, it is reported, laid by Mr.. sum
