THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA
TERMS OF NEW TREATY.
Washington officials Pleased-Raf'-
fcatiOn Erpected Soon.
TrHoM THE TRIBUNE BUREaU.I


Washington, June 17-Great satisfaction ~
felt by the Washington administration over the
terms and prospect of ratification Of the treaty
which is now being negotiated between China
and the United states The only point now open
to controversy in the agreement is In re-
gard to the opening OF certain ports IN Man
churia, and the prediction is confidently made
that the treaty will be ready to lay before the
United States Senate when it next convenes-
With this treaty ratified. the declaration ~
made that the Chinese open door is permanently
assured to American trade for ali time. The
main beneficial features Of the treaty are said
to be the elimination Of all internal taxation on
foreign goods sent 70 the interior provinces. Ira
this rearrangement OF the system Of collecting
the customs duties the imperial government Is
to be benefited materially through the collection
Of revenues at ports Of entry directly by in-
perial officials. The United States has agreed 20
q slight advance in Chinese customs taxes. and
the whole amount will go direct to the govern
nent ar Peking, instead Of being divided ND
among thisving underlings OF the various vice
roys as is now the case In this connection the
statement Is made that the imperial government
is robbed Of at least two-thirds Of its customs
through the present method Of allowing each
province to fix the rate Of customs dues and Of
making It's own collections While the new
rates are shade higher than existing import
rates the advantage to the American shipper IN
knowing exactly what it will cost him TO place
consignment Of goods in any portion OF the en-
pire without additional hkin taxes. will more
than compensate for the increase
In return for this concession on the part or
this government to pay increased tariff the
Chinese Government agrees to many needed re-
forms in the treatment Of American citizens in
China. For instance. the exact status OF ths
American missionary is defined and rules OF pro-
cedure before the courts are laid down. Inc status
of the native convert is also fixed in the same
manner and what is regarded as one or the
principal causes of the Boxer uprising will thus
be eliminated. The soCitude OF missionaries IN
behalf of their converts who had come in con
fict with the authorities. and their interference
in this connection. was the cause Of much TIC
ton and the development Of a growing teehnS
of hatred toward the missionaries
The Chinese treaty commission consists OF
u-Ting-fang former Minister 70 the United
States: Sheng former director of posts, anu
three viceroys, two OF whom are now located IN
Peking One Of these viceTOys. Chang Shln-
tung of Woo-Chung Province, has just been al
tached to the Foreign Office at Peking, under
Prince Ching. Chang Chih-tung is considered
one of the strong in the imperial govern
ment and his addition TO the force OF Prince
Ching is looked upon decidedly Strengthening
the Peking administration in its dealings with
foreign powers.
