CAUSES OF DELAY IN CHINA.
AGREEMENTS MADE AND REPUDIATED-
THE COMMERCIAL QUESTION

THE COMMERCIAL QUESTION.
Peking. July THE minister Of one of the
great powers said to-day that leading cause
for the present apparent deadlock was the fact
that the various committees had taken 10 them
selves too much authority in dealing with the
Chinese. and had made certain promises de-
pendent upon the Chinese agreeing TO certain
conditions which other ministers afterward
found it impossible to accept.
Another factor Of considerable Importance. he
said, was the commercial factor, involving the
right of each government to make it's
treaties with China and the application of the
most favored nation clause.
In his opinion the first difficulty be over
come shortly. but the commercial issue must be
eliminated or il is likely 10 prove definite
