CHINA'S COURSE.
Will Probably Become Free Trade
Nation.

SHANGHAI. Sept. 4.-Thsre are reports
in circulation here among people OF tie
highest authority which II correct,
shcw that the travels OF Ii Hung Chang
in Europe are likely to have 10 the imme-
diate future most inportant effect
upon the policy OF tho Chinese govern
ment and that the Chinese empire will
shortly be thrown open TO free trade
with the rest of the world.
When the great Chinese statesman was
in England, an official sttached to his
staff said that the main object of the vice.
roy's tour was 10 sound the European
governments regarding an increase in
the customs tariff with Chine. He added
that ii was understood that Russia, Ger
many and France were favorable to the
increase but that the Marquis OF Sails
bury wanted time to consider the matter
and that he had brought forward several
important counter propositions. II was
also pointed out at the time that the An
glo-Cbinese treaty expires IN two years
and that, quently, 1t was in
Great Britaln's interest to
make the best possible
terms now and not welt until the treaty
expired. 1t was further binted that upon
Chinese acceptance or refusal of tho sug-
gestions OF the British premier depended
the action OF the British fnapciers who
had been approached on the subject OF q
proposed China loan of considerable
magnitude. What the proposals OF Lord
Salisbury were Is question probably
known to but few people. On the ss*,er
hand, II is asserted here by pee pie who are
in a position to have accurate information
regarding the policy OF the Chinese gov
cede to tire conditions set forth by Lord
Salisbury, and that, as q preliminary
agreement, there will he an increase IN
the tariff, all transit dues in the in
terror OF China will DO abolished and
that, later on, free trsde will be estnp-
Iished throughout the Chinese empire.
The preliminary increase in the tariff is
looked upon as being necessary as the
loan referred to must be secured in some
manner and the customs due, are re-
garded as being the best security possible
under the circumstances. OF course this
is n decidedly English view OF
the case may he modinsd by future
events for n great deal depends i'll upon
the action ct ii HING Chang when he
returns 10 China and the nature OF the
report which he will furnish FOR the oe-
cision of the Emperor. Finally. IL II un.
derstood that :he Chinese government has
pra ctically decided To take steps nj an
carly date to make a considerable exten.
sion In the railroads OF the empire and n
foreign railroad board. organized on the
basis OF the foreign customs comm ission
may be entrusted with this task.

Ii Hung Chang and party rea ched the
capitol about $3.50 and remained there less
than a hour. There had been very brief
notice OF the intention of the distin-
guished visitor to,inspect the law making
edifice. No preparations were made for
his reception. He was first conducted to
the Office of the sargeant-at-arms.
From this point he was escorted In
succession to the marble room, the Presi-
ent's room, the Senate cham ber. the Su-
preme Court quarters, the rotunda, the
Congressional library and the hall OF the
House of Representatives. Very little
time was given to any of these halls, and

Ex-Secretary Foster, who had acted in
the capacity Of guide during the tour of
tins capitol, made an effort to prevail
upon Ii to visit the new library build
iDg, telling him that II was the finest
building in the city. "Is il finished"
asked ii, and when told that IL was not
nc declinod to make the inspection.
He appeared to take more interest In IL
trarian Spofford, and in his books and
spent little time in the old library.
Mr.. Spofford, when presented, told his
visitor that the library contained 760,-
0o0 books, there were about 900 Chinese,
works on the shelves.
SHOW old are your" he asked Mr.. Spof-
ford, and upon being told, the librarians

your head"
"More out Of it," responded Mr..
Spofford, TO which the Chinese disnita
ries replied with a deprecatory gesture
which required no Interpretation. Earl
Ii gave a great deal of attention to the
iife.size paintings OF Washington. He de-
manded from mis- interpreter a
ong explanation OF the mammoth
picture in the rotunda which de-
picts Washington resigning his COM
mission, asking many questions
concerning it. He also appeared to en-
Joy the view from the west front OF the
capitol looking down Pennsylvania
avenue and commanding view OF the
Washington monument. He expressed a
desire to ascend the monument, asking
IL the air was good and II there was an
elevator. Ii left his chair only while ex-
amining the pictures in the rotunda.
"My legs are not 30 strong as yours"
he said to Mr.. Foster when the latter sug-
gested that he might walk into the IL
brary in an adjoining room. Ii wore his
famous yellow jacket during the tour and
was followed by his personal attendants
in the order of their ranx.
From the capitol the party drove to the
residence of the Chinese minister.

at Sabanilla, Matanzas, the insurgents
sustained a loss of seventeen killed. Three
ladies, whose home was near the scene of
the battle, were killed by stray bullets
and fifteen men suffered similar fate.
The insurgents have effected a junction
Of bands at Cayo Bedondo. The wharves
and depots at Bailen, Sabels and Rio
Blanco were burned. At Catalina, in the
! Remedies district the railroad station was
burned. In the Viento mountains five
men were found hanged.
The civil guard surprised band of forty
insurgents at Cervantes Matanzas, and
captured ten, two leaders being among
them.
The insurgents under Olive and Julian

stores at Punta de la Sierra, Pinar del Rio.
They kidnapped Perfecto Diaz and he was
ransomed for $50.
The village of Salud, in Havana prov
ince, which lately rose in the insurgent
cause, is reported - have surrendered.

part in several actions, firing numerous
cannot shots at insurgent bands
The famous insurgent leader Carlos
Castillo, according to advices received here
from the province of Santa Clara, has beer

troops. The only details obtainable arc
that an insurgent force, under Castillo an6
famous Mexican leader who has not beer

of the battalion commanded by Majol
Talavera, and that six insurgents were
killed in addition to Castillo and the Mexi
can referred to.
