POWER TAKEN FROM coNsuLs.
Result Of Law Providing United States
Court In China.

The new law passed at the recent
States court in China greatly dimin-
ishes the powers OF American consuls
In that country. Under the new Jaw
the consuls will have jurisdiction over
small cases OF relatively little signifi-
canoe only, and even in these the
right of appeal to the court whose es-
Enlistment Is thus contemplated is
guaranteed.
Heretofore the consuls have had full
jurisdiction over American cases arts.
ing in China; that is, in all cases of
judicial proceedings.
The court is to hold sessions at
Canton, Tienstin and Hankow at stat.
ed periods, at least once annually.
The law gives the consul the same
jurisdiction as they have now in civil
cases where the value of property in.
volved does not exceed $500 in gold,
and in criminal cases where the pun.
ishment for the offense charged can
not exceed by law 500 fine or 60
days Imprisonment, or both; but ap-
peals go to the district court estab-
lished by the act, and may go from
there to the supreme court Of the
United States.
The law gives this new court In
China supervisory control over the
discharge by consuls and vice consuls
of the duties prescribed by the laws
OF the United States relating to the
estates of decedents in China.
