DEMAND OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Chinese Ports Must BE Opened to All
Nations Alike.

Manchester. Jan. 5. The Manchester
Guardian today says:
The government has catcgorically stat
ed that Great Britain will refuse to recog-
nize any special rights granted at any
Chinese ports to any particular power.
Any port opened to any one power must
be opened to all or open to none. If Rus
sia has been granted the right to winter
ships at Port Arthur Great Britain will
enforce her rights to the same privileges
and her ships will winter there whether
China comedies OF does rot concede the
right
I The Guardian says furthers: ''if Ger
Chau, Great Britain insists upon having
lease Of ground for a naval station at the
same port, and she will support every
other power in the same claim. The CON
tention of the government is that the
most favored clause in the British and
all cher treaties with China, forbids any
special concessions of the nature contem-
| plated by Germany at Kiao Chau, and
prevents that nation from acquiring spe
ciaI benefits in which others have not
shared
'The government has also declared that
the same principle applies to such transac-
tions as railway and mine monopolies.
Taking her stand on treaties, Great Brit
ain refuses to acknowledge such conces-
sions and will insist upon similar railway
and mine rights, and will use such force
to secure OF defend them as may be neees-
sa1y.'
This declaration does not apply to ces
sions Of territory to which existing trea-
ties do not refer, but, relative to this con
| tingency. a dispatch of Great Britain to
China says that when it occurs, a graver
question will arise
1t is reported that similar declaration
has been delivered to the Chinese and
or Governments h,- Ta1,an

G brief comment, based on a letter signed
by i. G. Probin, pointing out that dur

higher than it had ever been since the
closing of the mints, amounting to a diff

adds:
"This shows how independent the value
of the rupee is of silver, Of which it IS
composed, and emphasizes the necessity
for an early announcement of some def
mite scheme for putting Indian money on
an effective gold basis"
