(PBS PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
London, Juno 25,
Sir A. Satow announced that Great Britain will only consent to double the Chinese tariff in return for the entire abolition of the likin duty, the revision of the commercial treaties and the removal of restrictions fettering trade. The French indemnity claims represent a total of £11,460,000, and includes £372,000 compensation on account of the Catholic Missions.
The Times’ Pekin correspondent alleges that the Catholic missionaries exacted locally many millions of taels for indemnification from the native Christians under the pretext to protect the gentry from the official interference of the Allies, He adds that these methods caused intense exasperation. Some Protestant Missions accepted comparatively insignificant local compensation.
