AMERICAN REPLY. CHINESE CONSULAR JURISDICTION. (Received this day at 8 n.m.) SHANGHAI, August 29. Nanking Government has released the first replies received from foreign powers regarding China’s request for the immediate abolition df Consular jurisdiction. • • The American reply, released for nublication to-day, expresses a desire to abolish the same, but feels assured that a sudden abolition of the svstem of protection by its extra-territorial courts. Tn fact, the conditions prevailing in China to-day would in effect expose the property of Americans to danger of unlawful seizure, and place in jeopardy the liberty and • persons of American citizens. Further, that there does not exist in China to-day, a system of independent Chinese courts, free df extraneous influences capable ,o r adequately doing justice between Chinese and foreign litigants. The note concludes by offering to negotiate for the purpose of a gradual abolition of consular jurisdiction, provided steps are taken based on modern concepts of jurisprudence. ' •f: .V
