Refusal OF tho 6svernmeut to Ratify tho
Burlinsame Treaty with the United Statcs-
nIr. Buriinsamo's Credentials.
HONG KONG, August 81
via LONDON, August rs, 1892
TIE Pekin government refuses to ratify the con-
ventrOn concluded BY Mr.. Burlingams and the
Chinese Embassy with the Unitsd States.
Mr.. J. Ross Browne, late American Minister to
China, In reply to an address OF the British and
American residents In Shanghae, denounced Mr..
Burlingame's policy and said he considered 1t an evt
dence Of the Chinese disnclinatlon for progress.
He declared the establishment Of foreign relations
with China on Q basis Of equality impossible at
present and thought the yielding attitude Of the
foreign Powers would tend to produce war; as reve-
lations recently made proved the mistaken nature
Of the British policy.
The Chinese text Of Mr.. Burllngame's credentials
differs from the foreign version. In the former he
. appointed Envoy Of China to tributary nations.

LONDON, August Is, 1909.
The Pau Mall Gazette this evening, In an article on
treaties with China, says:-"It was the habit0f for.
eigners to lecture tho Chinese international i'm

ference Is abandoned. China, left free, would learn
to feel secure, and so come out Of her shell
and bear part In the commerce Of the world. It La
quite ineligible to "a that the American residents
In China should dislike the treaty. But why should
the Pekin government dislike IT. Have the Chinese
discovered some underhand design to Alch conces-
sOns under the pretence OF modifying former onesi
Is this refusal to imply an accession Of hostility
against foreigners which prompts the Chinese to
reject negotiations for their own beneht.".
