CHINA AND MEXICO.
Negotiations for Treaty Relations
Have Been Successful.

WASHINGTON, Nov. For some
time negotiations have been in progress
in Washington toward establishing
treaty relations between China and
Mexico. The negotiations have been
carried on by ambassador Aspiroz of
Mexico and Minister WI Tong Fang of
China, and are now so far along that
the signing of the instrument is expect
ed to occur early next week.
It's terms are such as to yield large
benefits to each of the contracting par
ties. Provision is made by which Mex
leo will receive benefits of the favored
nation clause" insuring as low duties
on imports as those given to any other
country. Mexico will also receive the
right of extra territoriality in China.
Another advantage secured by Mex
leo will be access to important treaty
ports of China, which serve as the
gateways to the commerce of the en-
pire. Up to this time Mexican trade
has been admitted at the treaty ports,
not of right, but on suffrance.
On the partof China, other important
advantages are gained under the treaty.
There is considerable number of
Chinese in Mexico, who thus far have
not had the protection secured by
treaty and by the presence of Consuls
and diplomatic representative of the
Government. China also receives fa-
vored nation treatment and a number
of other advantages in trade and navi-
