Pekin, Jan. Ali Hung Chang
says that the occupation OF kiao
Chou by Germany was direct viola
ton OF international law and all eX-
listing treaties. The occupancy Of
Kiao Chou by Germany, he said, was
directly the result OF the murder OF
two missionaries in the province of
Chanting The Chinese government
offered immediate redress-the pun
ishment of the murderers, large com
pensation for all losses and the dismis-
sal of the local officials, The Chinese
government even withdrew her troops
from Kiao Chou when the Germans
landed in order that there should be
no disturbance. Ii said that China
had not yet recovered from the eff
fects OF the late war with Japan, and
that his country required a period Of
peace before the reform could really
begin He said that of late ye~rs
the Chinese have come TO regard the
western world as its MODEL and now
while China is struggling TO throw off
the burden of ancient civilization, il
is only justice she asks The Incl
dent which led to the present disturb
ance should be settled by law and not

| Manchester, England, Jan. 4.-The
Manchester Guardian says: THE
government has categorically stated
that Great Britain will refuse to rec
ogn1ze any special rights granted at
any Chinese port to any particular
power. Any port opened to one
power must be opened to all or opened
to none. II Russia has been granted
| the right to winter ships at Port
Arthur, Great Britain will enforce her
rights to the same privilege and her
ships will winter there whether China
comedies or does not concede that
right. II Germany obtains a naval
station at Kiao Chou, Great Britain in
sists upon having a lease Of ground for
naval station al the same port, and
she Will support every other power
making the claim. The contention of
The government is that the most ia
yoIed clause in the British and all
other treaties with China forbids any
81 eclal concessions Of the nature con-
t-mplat,d by Gel many at kiao Chou
ana prevents Eat.o ns from acquiring
special benefits in which the others
have MT a share. The government
has also declared that the same prin-
cipe applies TO such transactions as
railway and mine monopolies. Taking
her stand on the trea les, Great Brit
ain refuses to acknowledge such CON
cessions and viii insist upon similar
railway and mine rights and viii use
such force to secure or defend them
as may be necessary. This declaration
does not apply to SESSIONS Of territory
to which the existing treaties do not
e.er, but relative to this contingency
the spatch Of Great Britain to China
says that when 1t occurs graver ques-
tons viii arise. 1t IS eported that a
similar declaration has been delivered
to the Chinese and other governments
by Japan"
