[BY ELECTRIC TELEGKAPH. —COPYRIGHT.]
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
London, May 6.
A court-martial at Tientsin sentenceda Frenchman to six months' imprisonment for wounding a British officer in the English settlement. Count von Waldersee will probably return to Europe in the middle of June.
The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce protested against the proposal to increase the Chinese tariff to ten per cent. China suggests to the Powers the complete opening of Manchuria to the enterprise of the world. Japan and England approve. America suggests that the principle be applied to the whole Chinese Empire. The Russians claim that they have annihilated two bands of Chinese troops in Manchuria and defeated and are pursuing a third band.
2(5 Russians were killed and 75 wounded in the engagement.
