 An Important Move by China-OpeninS
 Up Foreign Commerce to Her Native
 Merchants.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-The Chinese min ister has formally notified Secretary Evarts that he has received advices from his govern ment that steamer owned by Chinese mer- chants and manned by Chinese officers and men, with a cargo of Chinese commodities ready to sail for San Francisco. This action by the imperial government is the first step towards revision of the Imperial commercial decrees on the basis of directing commercial relations with foreign countries. Hitherto the entire China trade has been con- ducted by American and European firms act ing intermediates between the Pekin au- thorities. Under these decrees Chinese merchants were prohibited from owning for eign built vessels undertaking commercial enterprises with foreign countries. This step the Secretary thinks will at an early day revolutionize the entire commercial rela- tions of China and will break up the immense operations of foreign commercial houses on Chinese account The diplomatic aspect of this departure from the policy of exclusion which has prevailed in the empire is regard ed of much significance as in it's commer cial aspects, indicating that China, emulating the example of Japan, is ready to take her place amongst the competitors for the enor nous commerce between the eastern nations of Asia and the rest of the world It is 8 shrewd move on the part of. the Chinese Government to seek the control of this great trade at the same time that she opens her re- sources to the outside world. There are mil lions of dollars of American capital invested in this interest that will feel directly or indi- rectly the effect of this new move on the part of China.
