POWERS ASK CHINA
TOPAY FORE|GNDEBT
Protest Made Against Use of
Customs as Security for
Internal Loans.

vigorous protest against The Gov
eminent of China of giving prefer
entail treatment to Chinese internal
loans at the expense of external
obligations is contained in note
delivered to the Chinese foreign Of
tice by the American, British,
Japanese and French ministers.
The text of~the note, received from
Pek1n yesterday, follows:
The undersigned. draw the Sc
rlouS attention of the foreign min.
lister to the position created by the
inanlllty OF the ministers of finance
ana communications to meet GER
tam obligations to foreign creditors.
Much patience has been exercised
by the latter, whose expectations
or payment were encouraged by the
reports of schemes for debt CONSOLE
dation. -.
THE lack Of any provision for
meeting the payments OF the long
established railway loans due in
Octobery November and December,
1872, and the great difficulties en-
countered in obtaining these pay
nents, is also a. matter Of COM
mon knowledge. Surprise has been
"AAAC l4iCs ulSGCuT0u 1OEs
eign debts and obligations are left
unprotected, China's internal loans
have been temporarily consolidated
on the security Of the customs sur
pluses.
This state of affairs is preIu.
dicially affecting Chfna's credit,
which formerly had a good stand
ing in foreign markets, but now is
seriously impaired by default OF the
loans issued by the Americans.
British, French and Japanese.
The continuance of this prefer.
entail treatment to Chinese internal
loans is a matter to which the uY1.
dersigned, feel bound TO take excep.
ton in the interests of their ma.
tionals who are creditors OF the
Chinese government and holders of
foreign loans guaranteed by the
Chinese government.
They therefore request that in
future the customs SURPRISES should
be applied no longer exclusively to
the service of internal loans, but
also to the liquidation Of foreign
debts and obligations guaranteed
by the Chinese government"

! ings that have accured therefrom.
The hearts of the people have been
stirred by your Jealous appeals, and
| the good influence and striking eff
! fects of this series of meetings will
long be remembered by the people
| of Canton and Madison county. You
have been truly faithful and sincere,
| and untiring in your efforts to ad-
vance the kingdom of God, and to
recall the people from their apostasy
and indifference to life of righte-
! BUSINESS and obedience to God
Earnestly have you plead with the
| people to re-establish and reaffirm
| their covenant to God, and through
your burning gospel messages many
souls have been recalled for Christ
AS a prophet of old, you have warn
! ed Us of the fatal consequences of
sin and the inevitable doom that
awaits and transgressor, and have
| exhorted US again to a standard of
| Christian living.
We, as members of an organiza-
| ton ofunded on the Christian faith

represent and the good that you
have wrought in our community
and are taking this opportunity OF
expressing our gratitude and it is
our will and prayer that your minis
| try will be fruitful and that through
