TIE GERMAN VIEW OF IT.

hlaO-Chau May be Tut
BERLIN, Jan. 20.-A significant arti-
Gle in the Cologne Gazette asserts that
according to international law. Kiao-
Ghau is German property, and an at
tack upon it would enable Emperor
William to declare war without con-
sulting the bundesrath.
The papers say, furthermore, being
leased territory . in a political sense, it
remains as before, foreign territory.
Therefore, commercial and customs
treaties between either China and Eu-
ropean states, or between Germany
and other nations have no validity
there and consequently foreign states
can not appeal to the favored nation
clauses or claim similar rights to those
granted Germany, while Germany is in
a position to regulate the customs and
commercial relations quite unre-
servedly if sine thinks fit.
