IN BAD FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Danger OF Panic in Japan over I'm
providence Caused by Exception
ally Good Times.

WASHINGTON. April 1s.-The inan-
cial condition Of Japan at present is
far from encouraging. and bankers and
business men are exerting every effort
to avoid a pending panic.
This statement is conveyed to the
state department in communication
from United States Consul General Bel
lows. at Yokohama. The situation as
analyzed by shrewd financlers and
statesmen of the empire shows that the
Chinese indemnity secured at the close
of the Japlnese-C Chinese war together
with large national loans led to the ex-
plotting of many public and private un-
dertakings which caused money to be
unusually plentiful among the coolie or
laboring classes. This induced extrava-
giant methods of living. and is assigned
as potent factor in the large increase
of imports.

CHINESE CUSTOMS DUTIES.

CHINESE CUSTOMS DUTIES.
WASHINGTON. April Regarding
the proposed arrangement of the Chi
nese customs duties, which viii play
prominent part in the present peace
negotiations between the powers and
China. the central bureau Of the Ger
man empire for the preparation of COM
mercial treaties has made an interest
ing report which United States Consul
Sawter. at Glauchau, has transmitted to
the department OF state, The report in
part saws:
The so-called sea duties. those which
are levied on. the. goods entering Chi
nese ports, are determined by treaties
and are in part specific and in part ad
valorem duties. All goods not parti-
cularly named are subject to an ad
valorem duty Of five per cent, the same
being based on the market value there
Of As regards determining such mar
ket value the treaty says that II the
merchant cannot agree with the Chinese
official on the question at issue each
party shall cali in two or three manu-
facturers TO examine the goods. The
highest price at which one Of such
manufacturers viii be willing to buy the
goods shah be accepted as the value
thereof.
I'm addition 20 the import tariff there
is an export tariff. The articles not
enumerated in the import tariff which
are specified from the export tariff must
when imported pay the same duties as
those imposed upon them in the export
tariff. The 'so-called sea duties. how
ever, as is well known, are not the sole
tax imposed, supplementary charge
being levied in the form OF the inter-
mediate duties known as llken.'
"Anent the rate of such ilternedi1
ate duties, the treaties merely state
that they are to be levied according to
the principles ruling a, the time when
treaties are made and that they cannot
be raised subsequently,. This condition
has proved to be perfectly impractica-
Bile. The intermediate duties have de-
graded into a purely arbitrary charge
in which the local Chinese officials seek
and find their principal source Of In
come There is but one single means
of remedylng this ever increasing evil.
namely. to do away with these interme-
diate duties under the present negotia-
tlons as part of the terms Of peace.
To do this 1t will be necessary 70 as
sent to an increase Of sea duties. in
order to secure 10 the central Chinese
government the income necessary TO
deal with the question Of compensasion
consequent upon such an administra-
ton change"
