CHINESE MAKE OFFER TO BUY
Provincial OmeiaIs Seek to Secure
Concessions Held by Brit
ish Company.

PEKING. Dec 1a-The officials of shansi
province, where the Peking syndicate has
its many concessions. have expressed their
willingness to buy out the syndicate for
2.5oo.O0O taels, explaining at the same time
that this amount is fifteen times more than
the syndicate has ever invested I'm the
province. The syndicate values Its con-
cessions at 100000 taels and contends that
It should be compensated for the balance,
The claim OF the Picking syndicate, Brit
ish corporation holding the largest conces-
sions China has ever granted, arises from
the efforts OF the provisional authorities of
Shansi to have these concessions rescinded
The pressure which is being exerted upon
the Chinese government by the presence Of
British feet on Kwang Tung Is bene-
ficial TO British interests. and at the same
time It is Increasing the unpopularity of
the provincial authorities of Shansi These
latter have come to expect nothing from
the central government.
