The Dowager Empress replied that all
her people, converts or not were dear TO the

The negotiations for a new tariff treaty
have been temporarily suspended owing
TO the illness of Taotai Sheng, who Is suf-
fering from scarlet fever. His condition
al one time was very serious. but is now
improved,
The new Chinese Chamber OF Commerce
has been opened.
The Chinese merchants are generally
opposed to the proposed heavy increase
in duties. The leading provincial author
tiles are also opposed to the abolition OF
the li-kin or inland revenue tax. as the
doing away Of this tax will leave the pro-
vincial treasures without revenue.
Deputy Inspector-General Bredon's ap-
pointment as a tariff commissioner is
resented by the other commissioners,
Messrs. Taylor and Hippisley. As yet the
commission has accomplished nothing.
