Manchester, Eng, Jan. 8, 1898.
The Manchester Guardian to-day
saws: ..
"The government has categorically
stated that Great Britain will refuse to
recognize any special rights granted
at any Chinese port to any particular
power. Any port opened TO one power,
must be opened to all or open to none.
IF 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 win
ter there, whether China comedies or
does not concede the right"
Continuing, the Guardian says:
'If Germany obtains naval station
at Kiao-Chou, Great Britain insists
upon having a lease of ground for a
naval station at the some port and she
will support every other power maxi
ang the same claim.
1.-The contention pf the government
ds that the most favored nation clause
din the British and all other trca ties
with China, forbids any special conces-
sions Of the nature contemplated by
nations from securing special benefits
in which the others have not share
The government has also declared
that the same principle applies to such
transactions as railway and mine mo-
nopolies. Taking her stand on the
treaties, Great Britain refuses to ac-
knowledge such concessions and will in .
sist upon similar railway and mine
rights and will use such force to Sc
cure or defend them as may be neces-
sary.
This declaration does not applv To
cessions OF territory to which the en-
dsting treaties do not refer; but rela :
tive to this contingency the dispatch of
Great Britain to China says that when
1t occurs graver questions will arise.
The government will then consider the
manner in which British interests can
best be safeguarded and the form
which the compensation to Great Brit
ain for the special advantages of other
nations must take.
