TROUBLE OVER THE
MUKOEN OPENING

MUKDEN. Jan. 22.-The Viceroy OF
Mukden and the foreign Consuls have
been unable 10 reach an agreement on
the opening Of Mukden TO foreign
trade
The dispute involves the whole COM
mereial future OF Manchuria. The
Viceroy declares that only foreigners
importing foreign goods shall he given
treaty port treatment inside OF the
foreign concession. but pending the
location whereof the Viceroy demands
the payment of likin.

declare that the commercial treaties
OF 1903 opened all of Mukden. and the
consular body refuses 10 recognize the
rights claimed by the Chinese 10 levy
llkin and restrict residence.
Goods imported by foreigners are not
taxed in the foreign concession. but
foreign goods in Chinese hands are
subject TO tax. The exemption of the
latter involves an enormous loss OF
revenue and the Chinese stubbornly re-
sist the renting OF duties.
An Immediate settlement is unlikely.
in the meantime there are no nesotia-
tions for settlement in accordance with

his coadjutors Felipe Buencamino, a
son Of Aguinaldo's former Secretary OF
