says It is announced that the ratiflca-
ton Of the commercial treaty between
China and Great Britain, which was
signed BY Sir James i. Maclzay and
the Chinese commissioners at Shanghai
last September, is on its way to Pc
king and Publications will presumably
be exchanged after his arrival
China. however, has not answered
the queries OF the British government

Gle Of the treaty provides for the
abolition Of the likin barriers, while
the native customs houses enumerated
in the government records are retained.
The functions Of the lilzin barriers ana
the customs houses are largely inter
changeable.
The treaty also provides that Great
Britain must be furnished with a list

Jewish Executive Of City Of London
Tells OF the Feeling Of Hebrews

London, June 30.-Lord Mayor sam.
uel, in a speech at the prize distribu-
ton Of the religious classes at one OF
London's synagogues, said it was quite
useless 70 bring agitation to bear In The
hope OF influencing Russia in regard 10
the treatment of Jews. Their brethren
IN Australia, animated by the most
generous feelings, had sent money and
had passed a resolution which it be.
came his duty to submit to the foreign
Office. In following their wishes he
was aware what the result would be.
Therefore he was not surprised when
assured that this was an internal mat
ter and that the foreign Office could do
nothing.
The Jews Of this country, the lord
mayor continued desired for their
brethren in Russia religious equality.
and he believed he was right in saying
the car was most anxious that the
boon should be extended to his Hebrew
subjects. But there were other diff
culties to overcome. The case was diff
ferent from that OF Roumania. where
treaty rights were violated.
Under No Treaty Obligations.
Russia was under no treaty obllga-
lions and was free to manage her In.
ternal affairs as she thought best. II
was only by appealing to The better
side Of the Russian nation-and there
was q very large better side-that they
could hope to awaken that sense Of
right which, he was convinced no
amount Of agitation could bring about
The lord mayor concluded by asking
the Jewish community to believe that
he had the interests Of their prosecuted
brethren at heart and not to miscon-
strue his seeming inactivity.
In this connection it has been learned
that soon after the Kishineff outbreak
the Russian embassy conveyed 4 per
sonal assurance to the lord mayor that
If he would countenance anti-Russian
agitation in London he could depend
not only that there would be no repeti-
ton Of such attacks on the Jews, but
that measures would be undertaken to
improve their position generally in
Russia.
