HARRISON’S ASPHALTE
This Article is packed in casks averaging 4-cwt. o-qrS. 14-lbs. Gross,
Tare 21-lbs., as it has been packed and sent to India, Far East and the Colonies
for more than 60 years. Invoiced on nett weights.
It is invaluable for Railway Work, Viaducts, Bridges,
Floors, Godowns, Drying Grounds, Damp Courses, and for all purposes for which
Asphalte is applicable.
Its antiseptic properties and hygienic value are too well known
to need comment.
It being impervious to moisture and all kinds of vermin, makes
it the cleanest of floors.
To obtain the full advantages of this article it must be borne in
mind that the best article is the only one that can be relied on, and our
Asphalte has stood the test of 60 years.
To ensure obtaining HARRISON’S ASPHALTE, it is necessary to see that
a signed label is in every Cask.
There is still a large and increasing demand for our Asphalte,
although we are competing with cheaper sorts. It is most essential to
obtain an article as reliable as ours, as the cost of removing an inferior article,
when once laid (if not impossible), would be very great.
In this article the small difference in price cannot be compared with
the loss the use of an inferior article may entail.
Shipments made through Merchants in Great Britain, and
we shall .be glad to, have your esteemed enquiries and orders through them, and
we are also prepared to give any further information or advice as to its use, etc.

TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858
The provisions of this Article do not apply to crews of ships, for the due restraint

To Nanking, and other cities, disturbed by persons in arms against the Grovern-
ment, no pass shall be given, until they shall have been recaptured.
Art. X.—British merchant ships shall have authority to trade upon the Great
River (Yangtsze). The Upper and Lower Valley of the river being, however,
disturbed by outlaws, no port shall be for the present opened to trade, with the
•exception of Chinkiang, which shall be opened in a year from the date of the signing
of this Treaty;
So soon as peace shall have been restored, British vessels shall also be admitted
-to trade at such ports as far as Hankow, not exceeding three in number, as the British
^Minister, after consultation with the Chinese Secretary of State, may determine shall
be ports of entry and discharge.
Art. XI.—In addition to the cities and towns of Canton, Amoy, Foochow, Ningpo,
.and Shanghai, opened by the Treaty of Nanking, it is agreed that British subjects
may frequent the cities and ports of Newchwang, Tangchow (Chefoo), Taiwan
(Formosa), Chao-chow (Swatow), and Kiung-chow (Hainan).
They are permitted to carry on trade with whomsoever they please, and to proceed
-to and fro at pleasure with their vessels and merchandise.
They shall enjoy the same privileges, advantages, and immunities at the said
towns and ports as they enjoy at the ports already open to trade, including the
right of residence, buying or renting houses, of leasing land therein, and of building
churches, hospitals and cemeteries.
Art. XII.—British subjects, whether at the ports or at other places, desiring to
huild or open houses, warehouses, churches, hospitals, or burial grounds, shall make
their agreement for the land or buildings they require, at the rates prevailing among
the people, equitably and without exaction on either side.
Art. XIII.—The Chinese Government will place no restrictions whatever upon
the employment, by British subjects, of Chinese subjects in any lawful capacity.
Art. XIV.—British subjects may hire whatever boats they please for the
transport of goods or passengers, and the sum to be paid for such boats shall be settled
between the parties themselves, without the interference of the Chinese Government.
The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly in respect either
of the boats or of the porters or coolies engaged in carrying the goods be granted to
any parties. If any smuggling takes place in them the offenders will, of course, be
punished according to law.
Art. XV.—All questions in regard to rights, whether of property or person, arising
between British subjects, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the British authorities.
Art. XVI.—Chinese subjects who may be guilty of any criminal act towards
British subjects shall be arrested and punished by the Chinese authorities according
to the laws of China.
British subjects who may commit any crime in China shall be tried and punished
by the Consul, or other public functionary authorised thereto, according to the laws
•of Great Britain.
Justice shall be equitably and impartially administered on both sides.
Art. XVII.—A British subject, having reason to complain of Chinese, must
proceed to the Consulate and state his grievance. The Consul will inquire into the
merits of the case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably. In like manner, if a
Chinese have reason to complain of a British subject, the Consul shall no less listen
do his complaint, and endeavour to settle it in a friendly manner. If disputes take
place of such a nature that the Consul cannot arrange them amicably, then he shall
request the assistance of the Chinese authorities, that they may together examine
into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably.
Art. XVIII.—The Chinese authorities shall at all times afford the fullest
protection to the persons and property of British subjects, whenever these shall have
been subjected to insult or violence. In all cases of incendiarism or robbery, the
•local authorities shall at once take the necessary steps for the recovery of the stolen
TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858
property, tlie suppression of disorder, and the arrest of the guilty parties, whom they
will punish according to law.
Art. XIX.—If any British merchant-vessel, while within Chinese waters, be
plundered by robbers or pirates, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities to use
every endeavour to capture and punish the said robbers or pirates and to recover the
stolen property, that it may be handed over to the Consul for restoration to the owner.
Art. XX.—If any British vessel be at any time wrecked or stranded on the coast
of China, or be compelled to take refuge in any port within the dominions of the
Emperor of China, the Chinese authorities, on being apprised of the fact, shall
immediately adopt measures for its relief and security ; the persons on board shall
receive friendly treatment and shall be furnished, if necessary, with the means of
conveyance to the nearest Consular station.
Art. XXI.—If criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong or
on board the British ships there, they shall, upon due requisition by the Chinese
authorities, be searched for, and, on proof of their guilt, be delivered up.
In like manner, if Chinese offenders take refuge in the houses or on board the
vessels of British subjects at the open ports, they shall not be harboured or concealed,
but shall be delivered up, on due requisition by the Chinese authorities, addressed to
the British Consul.
Art. XXII.—Should any Chinese subject fail to discharge debts incurred to a
British subject, or should he fraudulently abscond, the Chinese authorities will do their
utmost to effect his arrest and enforce recovery of the debts. The British authorities
will likewise do their utmost to bring to justice any British subject fraudulently
absconding or failing to discharge debts incurred by him to a Chinese subject.
Art. XXIII.—Should natives of China who may repair to Hongkong to trade
incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English
Court of Justice on the spot; but should the Chinese debtor abscond, and be known
to have property real or personal within the Chinese territory, it shall be the duty of
the Chinese authorities on application by, and in concert with, the British Consul,
to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties.
Art. XXIV.—It is agreed that British subjects shall pay, on all merchandise
imported or exported by them, the duties prescribed by the tariff; but in no case shall
they be called upon to pay other or higher duties than are required of the subjects
of any other foreign nation.
Art. XXV.—Import duties shall be considered payable on the landing of the
goods, and duties of export on the shipment of the same.
Art. XXVI.—Whereas the tariff fixed by Article X. of the Treaty of Nanking,
and which was estimated so as to impose on imports and exports a duty of about
the rate of five per cent, ad valorem, has been found, by reason of the fall in value of
various articles of merchandise therein enumerated, to impose a duty upon these
considerably in excess of the rate originally assumed, as above, to be a fair rate, it is
agreed that the said tariff shall be revised, and that as soon as the Treaty shall have
been signed, application shall be made to the Emperor of China to depute a high
officer of the Board of Bevenue to meet, at Shanghai, officers to be deputed on behalf
of the British Government, to consider its revision together, so that the tariff*, as
revised, may come into operation immediately after the ratification of this Treaty.
Art. XXVII.—It is agreed that either of the high contracting parties to this
Treaty may demand a further revision of the tariff, and of the Commercial Articles of
Inis Treaty, at the end of ten years ; but if no demand be made on either side within
six months after the end of the first ten years, then the tariff shall remain in force for
ten years more, reckoned from the end of the preceding ten years, and so it shall
be at the end of each successive ten years.

into the interior,
tree of all further charges, except a transit duty, the amount whereof was not to
exceed a certain percentage on tariff value; and whereas, no accurate information
having been furnished of the amount of such duty, British merchants have constantly
TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858
Complained that charges are suddenly and arbitrarily imposed by the provincial
authorities as transit duties upon produce on its way to the foreign market, and on
imports on their way into the interior, to the detriment of trade ; it is agreed that
within four months from the signing of this Treaty, at all ports now open to British
trade, and within a similar period at all ports that may hereafter be opened, the
authority appointed to superintend the collection of duties shall be obliged, upon
application of the Consul, to declare the amount of duties leviable on produce between
the place of production and the port of shipment upon imports between the Consular
port in question and the inland markets named by the Consul; and that a notification
thereof shall be published in English and Chinese for general information.
But it shall be at the option of any British subject desiring to convey produce
purchased inland to a port, or to convey imports from a port to an inland market, to
clear his goods of all transit duties, by payment of a single charge. The amount of
this charge shall be leviable on exports at the first barrier they may have to pass, or,
on imports at the port at which they are landed; and on payment thereof a certificate
shall be issued, which shall exempt the goods fromallfurther inland charges whatsoever.
It is further agreed that the amount of the charge shall be calculated, as nearly
as possible, at the rate of two and a half per cent, ad valorem, and that it shall be fixed
for each article at the conference to be held at Shanghai for the revision of the tariff.
It is distinctly understood that the payment of transit dues, by commutation or
otherwise, shall in no way affect the tariff duties on imports or exports, which will
continue to be levied separately and in full.
Art. XXIX.—British merchant vessels, of more than one hundred and fifty tons
burden, shall be charged tonnage-dues at the rate of four mace per ton ; if of one
hundred and fifty tons and under, they shall be charged at the rate of one mace per ton.
Any vessel clearing from any of the open ports of China for any other of the open
ports, or for Hongkong, shall be entitled, on application of the master, to a special
certificate from the Customs, on exhibition of which she shall be exempted from all
further payment of tonnage dues in any open ports of China, for a period of four
months, to be reckoned from the port-clearance.
Art. XXX.—The master of any British merchant vessel may, within forty-eight
hours after the arrival of his vessel, but not later, decide to depart without breaking
bulk, in which case he will not be subject to pay tonnage-dues. But tonnage-dues
shall be held due after the expiration of the said forty-eight hours. No other fees or
charges upon entry or departure shall be levied.
Art. XXXI.—No tonnage-dues shall be payable on boats employed by British
subjects in the conveyance of passengers, baggage, letters, articles of provision, or
other articles not subject to duty, between any of the open ports. All cargo-boats,
however, conveying merchandise subject to duty shall pay tonnage-dues once in six
months, at the rate of four mace per register ton.
Art. XXXII.—The Consuls and Superintendents of Customs shall consult together
regarding the erection of beacons or lighthouses and the distribution of buoys and
lightships, as occasion may demand.
Art. XXXIII.—Duties shall be paid to the bankers authorised by the Chinese
Government to receive the same in its behalf, either in sycee or in foreign money,
according to the assay made at Canton on the thirteenth of July, one thousand eight
hundred and forty-three.
Art. XXXIV.—Sets of standard weights and measures, prepai'ed according to
the standard issued to the Canton Custom-house by the Board of Revenue, shall be
delivered by the Superintendent of Customs to the Consul at each port to secure
uniformity and prevent confusion.
Art. XXXV,—Any British merchant vessel arriving at one of the open ports
shall be at liberty to engage the services of a pilot to take her into port. In like
manner, after she has discharged all legal dues and duties and is ready to take her
departure, she shall be allowed to select a pilot to conduct her out of port.
Art. XXXVI.—Whenever a British merchant vessel shall arrive off one of the
open ports, the Superintendent of Customs shall depute one or more Customs officers
10 TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858
to guard the ship. They shall either live in a boat of their own, or stay on board the
ship, as may best suit their convenience. Their food and expenses shall be supplied
them from the Custom-house, and they shall not be entitled to any fees whatever
from the master or consignee. Should they violate this regulation, they shall be
punished proportionately to the amount exacted.
Art. XXXVII.—Within twenty-four hours after arrival, the ships ’papers,
bills of lading, etc., shall be lodged in the hands of the Consul, who will within a
further period of twenty-four hours report to the Superintendent of Customs the name
of the ship, her registered tonnage, and the nature of her cargo. If, owing to neglect
on the part of the master, the above rule is not complied with within forty-eight
hours after the ship’s arrival, he shall be liable to a fine of fifty taels for every day’s
delay; the total amount of penalty, however, shall not exceed two hundred taels.
The master will be responsible for the correctness of the manifest, which shall
contain a full and true account of the particulars of the cargo on board. For
presenting a false manifest, he will subject himself to a fine of five hundred taels; but
he will be allowed to correct, within twenty-four hours after delivery of it to the customs
officers, any mistake he may discover in his manifest without incurring this penalty.
Art. XXXVIII.—After receiving from the Consul the report in due form, the
Superintendent of Customs shall grant the vessel a permit to open hatches. If the
master shall open hatches, and begin to discharge any goods, without such pei’mission,
he shall be fined five hundred taels, and the goods discharged shall be confiscated wholly.
Art. XXXIX—Any British merchant who has cargo to land or ship must apply
to the Superintendent of Customs for a special permit. Cargo landed or shipped
without such permit will be liable to confiscation.
Art. XL.—No transhipment from one vessel to another 'can be made without
special permission, under pain of confiscation of the goods so transhipped.
Art. XLI.—When all dues and duties shall have been paid, the Superintendent
of Customs^ shall give a port-clearance and the Consul shall then return the ship’s
papers, so that she may depart on her voyage.
Art. XLII.—With respect to articles subject, according to the tariff, to an ad
valorem duty, if the British merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer in affixing
its value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and
the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase
them shall be assumed as the value of the goods.
• Art. XLIII.—Duties shall be charged upon the net weight of each article,
making a deduction for the tare, weight of congee, &q. To fix the tare of any articles,
such as tea, if the British merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then
each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first
weighed in gross, shall afterwards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests
shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the
tare be fixed upon other goods and packages. If there should be any other points in
dispute which cannot be settled, the British merchant may appeal to his Consul, who
will communicate the particulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that
it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made wiihin twenty-four
hours or it will not be attended to. While such points are still unsettled, the
Superintendent of Customs shall postpone the insertion of the same in his books.
Art. XLIV.—Upon all damaged goods a fair reduction of duty shall be allowed
proportionate to their deterioration. If any disputes arise, they shall be settled in
the manner pointed out in the clause of this Treaty having reference to articles which
pay duty ad valorem.
Art. XLV.—British merchants who may have imported merchandise into any of
the open ports, and paid the duty thereon, if they desire to re-export the same, shall
be entitled to make application to the Superintendent of Customs, who, in order to
prevent fraud on the revenue, shall cause examination to be made by suitable officers,
to see that the duties paid on such goods, as entered in the Custom-house books,
correspond with the representations made and that the goods remain with their
original marks unchanged. He shall then make a memorandum of the port-clearance
TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858 11
of the goods, and of the amount of duties paid, and deliver the same to the merchant,
and shall also certify the facts to the officers of Customs of the other ports. All which
being done, on the arrival in port of the vessel in which the goods are laden, every-
thing being found on examination there to correspond, she shall be permitted to break
bulk, and land the said goods, without being subject to the payment of any additional
duty thereon. But if, on such examination, the Superintendent of Customs shall
detect any fraud on the revenue in the case, then the goods shall be subject to
confiscation by the Chinese Government.
British merchants desiring to re-export duty-paid imports to a foreign country
shall be entitled, on complying with the same conditions as in the case of re-exporta-
tion to another port in China, to a drawback certificate, which shall be a valid tender
to the Customs in payment of import or export duties.
Foreign grain brought into any port of China in a British ship, if no part thereof
has been landed, may be re-exported without hindrance.
Art. XLVI.—The Chinese authorities at each port shall adopt the means they
may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering from fraud or smuggling.
Art. XLVII.—British merchant-vessels are not entitled to resort to otherthanthe
ports of trade declared open by Treaty; they are not unlawfully to enter other ports in
China, or to carry on clandestine trade along the coast thereof. Any vessel violating this
provision shall, with her cargo, be subject to confiscation by the Chinese Government.
Art. XLVIII.—If any British merchant-vessel be concerned in smuggling, the
goods, whatever their value or nature, shall be subject to confiscation by the Chinese
authorities, and the ship may be prohibited from trading further, and sent away as
soon as her account shall have been adjusted and paid.
Art. XLIX.—All penalties enforced, or confiscations made, under this Treaty
shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China.
Art. L.—All official communications addressed by the Diplomatic and Consular
Agent of Her Majesty the Queen to the Chinese Authorities shall, henceforth, be writ-
ten in English. They -will for the present be accompanied by a Chinese version, but it
is understood that, in the event of there being any difference of meaning between the
English and Chinese text, the English Government will hold the sense as expressed in
the English text to be the correct sense. This provision is to apply to the Treaty now
negotiated, the Chinese textof which has been carefully corrected by the English original.
Art. LI.—It is agreed that henceforward the character (barbarian) shall not
be applied to the Government or subjects of Her Britannic Majesty in any Chinese official
document issued by the Chinese authorities, either in the capital or in the provinces.
Art. LII.—British ships of war coming for no hostile purpose, or being engaged
in the pursuit of pirates, shall be at liberty to visit all ports within the dominions
of the Emperor of China, and shall receive every facility for the purchase of pro-
visions, procuring water, and, if occasion require, for the making of repairs. The
commanders of such ships shall hold intercourse with the Chinese authorities on
terms of equality and courtesy.
Art. LIII.—In consideration of the injury sustained by native and foreign
commerce from the prevalence of piracy in the seas of China, the high contracting
parties agree to concert measures for its suppression.
Art. LIV.—The British Government and its subjects are hereby confirmed in all
privileges, immunities, and advantages conferred on them by previous Treaties: and
it is hereby expressly stipulated that the British Government and its subjects will be
allowed free and equal participation in all privileges, immunities and advantages that
may have been, or may be hereafter, granted by His Majesty the Emperor of China
to the Government or subjects of any other nation.
Art. LV.—In evidence of her desire for the continuance of a friendly under-
standing, Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain consents to include in a Separate
Article, which shall be in every respect of equal validity with the Articles of this
Treaty, the condition affecting indemnity for expenses incurred and losses sustained
in the matter of the Canton question.

THE CHEEOO CONVENTION, 1876
WITH ADDITIONAL ARTICLE THERETO FOR REGULATING THE
TRAFFIC IN OPIUM
Ratifications exchanged at London, 6th May, 1886
Agreement negotiated between Sir Thomas Wade, k.c.b., Her Britannic
Majesty’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of China,
and Li, Minister Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of China, Senior Grand
Secretary, Governor-General of the Province of Chihli, of the First Class of the
Third Order of Nobility.
The negotiation between the Ministers above named has its origin in a despatch
received by Sir Thomas Wade, in the Spring of the present year, from the Earl of
Derby, Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, dated 1st January, 1876.
This contained instructions regarding the disposal of three questions: first, a satis-
factory settlement of the Yunnan affair; secondly, a faithful fulfilment of engagements
of last year respecting intercourse between the high officers of the two Governments ;
thirdly, the adoption of a uniform system in satisfaction of the understanding arrived
at in the month of September, 1875 (8th moon of the 1st year of the reign Kwang
Su), on the subject of rectification of conditions of trade. It is to this despatch that
Sir Thomas Wade has referred himself in discussions on these questions with the
Tsung-li Yamen, further reference to which is here omitted as superfluous. The
conditions now agreed to between Sir Thomas Wade and the Grand Secretary are as
follows:—
Section I.—Settlement of the Yunnan Case
1. —A Memorial is to be presented to the Throne, whether by t
Yamen or by the Grand Secretary Li is immaterial, in the sense of the memorandum
prepared by Sir Thomas Wade. Before presentation the Chinese text of the Memorial
is to be shown to Sir Thomas Wade.
2. —The Memorial having been presented to the Throne, and the Im
in reply received, the Tsung-li Yamen will communicate copies of the Memorial and
Imperial decree of Sir Thomas Wade, together with copy of a letter from tho
Tsung-li Yamen to the Provincial Governments, instructing them to issue a proclama-
tion that shall embody at length the above Memorial and Decree. Sir Thomas Wade
will thereon reply to the effect that for two years to come officers will be sent by the
British Minister to different places in the provinces to see that the proclamation is
posted. On application from the British Minister or the Consul of any port instructed
by him to make application, the high officers of the provinces will depute competent
officers to accompany those so sent to the places which they go to observe.
3. —In order to the framing of such regulations as will be needed f
of the frontier trade between Burmah and Yunnan, the Memorial submitting the
proposed settlement of the Yunnan affair will contain a request that an Imperial
Decree be issued directing the Governor-General and Governor, whenever the British
Government shall send officers to Yunnan, to select a competent officer of rank to
confer with them and to conclude a satisfactory arrangement.
4. —The British Government will be free for five years, from the
next, being the 17th day of the 11th moon of the 2nd year of the reign of Kwang Su,
to station officers at Ta-li Fu, or at some other suitable place in Yunnan, to observe
the conditions of trade ; to the end that they may have information upon which to
base the regulations of trade when these have to be discussed. For the considera-
tion and adjustment of any matter affecting British officers or subjects, these officers
will be free to address themselves to the authorities of the province. The opening
14 THE CHEFOO CONVENTION, 1876
of the trade may be proposed by the British Government as it may find best at any
time within the term of five years, or upon expiry of the term of five years.
Passports having been obtained last year for a Mission from India into Yunnan,
it is open to the Viceroy of India to send such Mission at any time he may see fit.
5. —The amount of indemnity to be paid on account of the familie
and others killed in Yunnan, on account of the expenses which the Yunnan case has
-occasioned, and on account of claims of British merchants arising out of the action
of officers of the Chinese Government up to the commencement of the present year.
Sir Thomas Wade takes upon himself to fix at two hundred thousand taels, payable
on demand.
6. —"When the case is closed an Imperial letter will be written e
for what has occurred in Yunnan. The Mission bearing the Imperial letter will
proceed to England immediately. Sir Thomas Wade is to be informed of the
-constitution of this Mission for the information of this Government. The text of the
Imperial letter is also to be communicated to Sir Thomas Wade by the Tsung-li
Yamen.
Section II.—Official Intercourse
Under this heading are included the conditions of intercourse between high
officers in the capital and the provinces, and between Consular officers and Chinese
officials at the ports; also the conduct of judicial proceedings in mixed cases.
1. —In the Tsung-li Yamen’s Memorial of the 28th September,
•of Kung and the Ministers stated that their object in presenting it had not been
simply the transaction of business in which Chinese and Foreigners might be con-
cerned; missions abroad and the question of diplomatic intercourse lay equally with-
in their prayer.
To the prevention of further misunderstanding upon the subject of intercourse
and correspondence, the present conditions of both having caused complaint in the
•capital and in the provinces, it is agreed that the Tsung-li Yamen shall address a
circular to the Legations, inviting Foreign Representatives to consider with them a
code of etiquette, to the end that foreign officials in China, whether at the ports or
elsewhere, may be treated with the same regard as is shown them when serving
abroad in other countries and as would be shown to Chinese agents so serving abroad.
The fact that China is about to establish Missions and Consulates abroad renders
an understanding on these points essential.
2. —The British Treaty of 1858, Article XV1., lays down that “
who may be guilty of any criminal act towards British subjects shall be arrested and
punished by Chinese authorities according to the l&ws of China.
.“British subjects who may commit any crime in China shall be tried and
punished by the Consul, or any other public functionary authorised thereto, accord-
ing to the laws of Great Britain.
“Justice shall be equitably and impartially administered on both sides.”
The words “functionary authorised thereto” are translated in the Chinese text
“British Government.”
In order to the fulfilment of its Treaty obligation, the British Government has
established a Supreme Court at Shanghai with a special code of rules, which it is
now about to revise. The Chinese Government has established at Shanghai a Mixed
Court; but the officer presiding over it, either from lack of power or dread of un-
popularity, constantly fails to enforce his judgments.
It is now understood that the Tsung-li Yamen will write a circular to the Lega-
tion, inviting Foreign Representatives at once to consider with the Tsung-li Yamen
the measures needed for the more effective administration of justice at the ports
open to trade.
3- Itof isa British
property agreed subject,
that, whenever
whether ain crime is committed
the interior or at theaffecting
open ports,thetheperson or
British
Minister shall be free to send officers to the spot to be present at the investigation.
THE CHEFOO CONVENTION, 1876 15
To the prevention of misunderstanding on this point, Sir Thomas Wade will
write a Note to the above effect, to which the Tsung-li Tamen will reply, affirming
that this is the course of proceeding to be adhered to for the time to come.
It is further understood that so long as the laws of the two countries differ from
each other, there can be but one principle to guide judicial proceedings in mixed cases
in China, namely, that the case is tried by the official of the defendant’s nationality;
the official of the plaintiff’s nationality merely attending to watch the proceedings in
the interest of j ustice. If the officer so attending be dissatisfied with the proceedings,
it will be in his power to protest against them in detail. The law administered will
be the law of the nationality of the officer trying the case. This is the meaning of
the words hui t'ung. indicating combined action in judicial proceedings, in Article
XVI. of the Treaty of Tientsin; and this is the course to be respectively followed by
the officers of either nationality.
Section III.—Trade.
1.—With reference to the area within which, according to the Treaties in force,
lelein ought not to be collected on foreign goods at the open ports, Sir Thomas Wade
agrees to move his Government to allow the ground rented by foreigners (the so-called
Concessions) at the different ports, to be regarded as the area of exemption from
lekin; and the Government of China will thereupon allow Ich’ang, in the province
of Hu-pi; Wu-hu, in An-hui; Wen-chow, in Che-kiang ; and Pei-hai (Pak-hoi),
in Kwang-tung to be added to the number of ports open to trade and to become
Consular stations. The British Government will, further, be free to send officers to
reside at Chung-k’ing to watch the conditions of British trade in Szechuen -
British merchants will not be allowed to reside at Chung-k’ing, or to open establish-y
ments or warehouses there, so long as no steamers have access to the port. When,
steamers have succeeded in ascending the river so far, further arrangements can be
taken into consideration.
It is further proposed as a measure of compromise that at certain points on the
shore of the Great Biver, namely, Tat’ung and Ngan-Ching in the province of An-
hui; Ho-Kou, in Kiang-si; Wu-sueh, Lu-chi kou, and Sha-shih in Hu-Kwang,
these being all places of trade in the interior, at which, as they are not open ports,
foreign merchants are not legally authorised to land or ship goods, steamers shall be
allowed to touch for the purpose of landing or shipping passengers or goods; but in
all instances by means of native boats only, and subject to the regulations in force
affecting native trade.
Produce accompanied by a half-duty certificate may be shipped at such points
by the steamers, but may not be landed by them for sale. And at all such points,
except in the case of imports accompanied by a transit duty certificate or exports
similarly certificated, which will be severally passed free of lekin on exhibition of such
certificates, lekin will be duly collected on all goods whatever by the native authorities.
Foreign merchants will not be authorised to reside or open houses of business or
warehouses at the places enumerated as ports of call.
2. —At all ports open to trade, whether by earlier or later agreem
settlement area has been previously defined, it will be the duty of the British Consul,
acting in concert with his colleagues, the Consuls of other Powers, to come to an
understanding with the local authorities regarding the definition of the foreign
settlement area.
3. —On Opium, Sir Thomas Wade will move his Governmen
arrangement different from that affecting other imports. British merchants, when
opium is brought into port, will be obliged to have it taken cognisance of by the
Customs, and deposited in bond, either in a warehouse or a receiving hulk, until such
time as there is a sale for it. The importer will then pay the tariff duty upon it,
and the purchasers the lekin, in order to the prevention of evasion of the Treaty. The
amount of lekin to be collected will be decided by the different Provincial Govern-
ments according to the circumstances of each.
16 THE CHEFOO CONVENTION, 1876
4. —The Chinese Government agree that Transit Duty Ce
framed under one rule at all ports, no difference being made in the conditions set forth
therein; and that, so far as imports are concerned, the nationality of the person
possessing and carrying these is immaterial. Native produce carried from an inland
centre to a port of shipment, if bond fide intended for shipment to a foreign port,
may be, by treaty, certified by the British subject interested, and exempted by
payment of the half duty from all charges demanded upon it en route. If produce be
not the property of a British subject, or is being carried to a port not for exportation,
it is not entitled to the exemption that would be secured it by the exhibition of a
transit duty certificate. The British Minister is prepared to agree with the Tsung-li
Yamen upon rules that will secure the Chinese Government against abuse of the
privilege as affecting produce.
The words nei-ti (inland) in the clause of Article VII. of the Buies appended to
the Tariff, regarding carriage of imports inland, and of native produce purchased
inland, apply as much to places on the sea coasts and river shores as to places in the
interior not open to foreign trade; the Chinese Government having the right to make
arrangements for the prevention of abuses thereat.
5. —Article XLV. of the Treaty of 1858 prescribed no limit to
which a drawback may be claimed upon duty-paid imports. The British Minister
agrees to a term of three years, after expiry of which no drawback shall be claimed.
6. —Toe foregoing stipulation, that certain ports are to be opened to foreign trade,
and that landing and shipping of goods at six places on the Great Biver is to be
sanctioned, shall be given effect to within six months after receipt of the Imperial
Decree approving the memorial of the Grand Secretary Li. The date for giving effect
to the stipulations affecting exemption of imports from lelcin taxation within the for-
eign settlements and the collection of lelcin upon opium by the Customs Inspectorate
at the same time as the Tariff Duty upon it, will be fixed as soon as the British Gov-
ernment has arrived at an understanding on the subject with other foreign Governments.
7. —The Governor of Hongkong having long complained of t
the Canton Customs Bevenue Cruisers with the junk trade of that Colony, the Chinese
Government agrees to the appointment of a Commission, to consist of a British Consul,
an officer of the Hongkong Government, and a Chinese official of equal rank, in order
do the establishment of some system that shall enable the Chinese Government to
protect its revenue without prejudice to the interests of the Colony.
Separate Article
Her Majesty’s Government haying it in contemplation to send a Mission of
Exploration next year by way of Peking through Kan-su and Koko-Nor, or by way of
Ssu-chuen, to Thibet, and thence to India, the Tsung-li Yamen, having due regard
to the circumstances, will, when the time arrives, issue the necessary passports, and
will address letters to the high provincial authorities and to the Besident in Thibet.
If the Mission should not be sent by these routes, but should be proceeding across
the Indian frontier to Thibet, the Tsung-li Yamen, on receipt of a communication to
the above eftect from the British Minister, will write to the Chinese Besident in
Thibet, and the Besident, with due regard to the circumstances, will send officers to
teke due care of the Mission; and passports for the Mission will be issued by the
Tsung-li Yamen, that its passage be not obstructed.

'referred to as the “ Chefoo Agreement ”), in relation to the area within which lakin
ought not to be collected on foreign goods at the open ports, and to the definition of
'the Foreign Settlement area, require further consideration; also that the terms of
Clause 3 of the same section are not sufficiently explicit to serve as an efficient regula-
tion for the traffic in opium, and recognizing the desirability of placing restrictions
on the consumption of opium, have agreed to the present Additional Article.
1. —As regards the arrangements above referred to and proposed
and 2 of Section III. of the Chefoo Agreement, it is agreed that they shall lie reserved
-for further consideration between the two Governments.
2. —In lieu of the arrangement respecting opium proposed in Clau

-China, shall be taken cognizance of by the Imperial Maritime Customs, and shall be
deposited in bond, either in warehouses or receiving-hulks which have been approved
of by the Customs, and that it shall not be removed thence until there shall have
been paid to the Customs the Tariff duty of 30 taels per chest of 100 catties, and also
a sum not exceeding 80 taels per like chest as lelcin.
3. —It is agreed that the aforesaid import and lehin duties having
owner shall be allowed to have the opium repacked in bond under the supervision of
the Customs, and put into packages of such assorted sizes as he may select from such
sizes as shall have been agreed upon by the Customs authorities and British Consul
at the port of entry.
The Customs shall then, if required, issue gratuitously to the owner a transit cer-
tificate for each such package, or one for any number of packages, at option of the owner.
Such certificates shall free the opium to which it applies from the imposition of
any further tax or duty whilst in transport in the interior, provided that the package
has not been opened, and that the Customs seals, marks, and numbers on the packages
liave not been effaced or tampered with.
Such certificate shall have validity only in the hands of Chinese subjects, and
shall not entitle foreigners to convey or accompany any opium in which they may
be interested into the interior.
4. —It is agreed that the Regulations under which the said certif
issued shall be the same for all the ports, and that the form shall be as follows:—
“ Opium Transit Certificate.
“ This is to certify that Tariff and lelcin duties at the rate of taels per chest
of 100 catties have been paid on the opium marked and numbered as under; and
that, in conformity with the Additional Article signed at London the 18th July, 1885,
and appended to the Agreement between Great Britain and China signed at Chefoo
the 13th September, 1876, and approved by the Imperial Decree printed on the back
thereof, the production of this certificate will exempt the opium to which it refers,
wherever it may be found, from the imposition of any further tax or duty whatever,
provided that the packages are unbroken, and the Customs seals, marks, and numbers
have not been effaced or tampered with.

as is or may hereafter be levied on native opium.
In the event of such tax or contribution being calculated ad valorem, the same-

for this purpose tbe value of foreign opium the amount paid on it for lekin at the-
port of entry shall be deducted from its market value.
6. —It is agreed that the present Additional Article shall be cons
part of the Ohefoo Agreement, and that it shall have the same force and validity as-
if it were therein inserted word for word. It shall come into operation six monthsr
after its signature, provided the ratifications have then been exchanged, or if they
have not,.then on the date at which such exchange takes place.
7. —The arrangement respecting opium contained in the present A
shall remain binding for four years, after the expiration of which period either
Government may at any time give twelve months’ notice of its desire to determine it,
and, such notice being given, it shall terminate accordingly. It is, however, agreed
that the Government of Great Britain shall have the right to terminate the same at
any time should the transit certificate be found not to confer on the opium complete-
exemption from all taxation whatsoever whilst being carried from the port of entry"
to the place of consumption in the interior. In the event of the termination of the-
present Additional Article the arrangement with regard to opium now in force and.
the regulations attached to the Treaty of Tientsin shall revive.

THE CHUNGKING AGREEMENT, 1890
ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THE AOREEMENT BETWEEN GREA1
BRITAIN AND CHINA OF SEPTEMBER 13th, 1876
Ratifications Exchanged at Peking, \9>th Jantmry, 1891
The Governments of Great Britain and China, being desirous of settling in an
amicable spirit the divergence of opinion which has arisen with respect to the First
Clause of the Third Section of the Agreement concluded at Chefoo in 1876, which
stipulates that “ The British Government will be free to send officers to reside at
Chungking to watch the conditions of British trade in Szechuan, that British mer-
chants will not be allowed to reside at Chungking, or to open establishments or
warehouses there, so long as no steamers have access to the port, and that when
steamers have succeeded in ascending the river so far, further arrangements can be
taken into consideration,” have agreed upon the following Additional Articles
I. —Chungking shall forthwith be declared open to trade on the
any other Treaty port. British subjects shall be at liberty either to charter Chinese
vessels or to provide vessels of the Chinese type for the traffic between Ichang and
Chungking.
II. —Merchandise conveyed between Ichang and Chungking b
of vessels shall be placed on the same footing as merchandise carried by steamers-
between Shanghai and Ichang, and shall be dealt with in accordance with Treaty
Tariff' Rules, and the Yangtsze Regulations.
III. —All regulations as to the papers and flags to be carr
above description, as to the repackage of goods for the voyage beyond Ichang and
as to the general procedure to be observed by those engaged in the traffic between
Ichang and Chungking with a view to insuring convenience and security, shall be
drawn up by the Superintendent of Customs at Ichang, the Taotai of the Ch’uan
Tung Circuit, who is now stationed at Chungking, and the Commissioners of Customs
in consultation with the British Consul, and shall be liable to any modifications that
may hereafter prove to be desirable and may be agreed upon by common consent.
IV. —Chartered junks shall pay port dues at Ichang and C
ance with the Yangtsze Regulations; vessels of Chinese type, if and when entitled,
to carry the British flag, shall pay tonnage dues in accordance with Treaty
Regulations. It is obligatory on both chartered junks and also vessels of Chinese
type, even when the latter may be entitled to carry the British flag, to
take out at the Maritime Custom-house special papers and a special flag
when intended to be employed by British subjects in the transport of goods
between Ichang and Chungking, and without such papers and flag no vessels
of either class shall be allowed the privileges and immunities granted under this
Additional Article. Provided with special papers and flag, vessels of both classes
shall be allowed to ply between the two ports, and they and their cargoes shall be
dealt with in accordance with Treaty Rules and the Yangtsze Regulations. All other
vessels shall be dealt with by the Native Customs. The special papers and flag
issued by the Maritime Customs must alone be used by the particular vessel for
which they were originally issued, and are not transferable from one vessel to
another. The use of the British flag by vessels the property of Chinese is strictly
prohibited. Infringement of these Regulations will, in the first instance, render
the offender liable to the penalties in force at the ports hitherto opened under Treaty,.
and should the offence be subsequently repeated, the vessel’s special papers and flag
will be withdrawn, and the vessel herself refused permission thenceforward to trade
between Ichang and Chungking.
V. —When once Chinese steamers carrying cargo run to C
steamers shall in like manner have access to the said port.
THE THIBET-SIKKIM CONVENTION", 1890 21

if it were inserted therein word for word. It shall be ratified, and the ratifications
exchanged at Peking, and it shall come into operation six months after its signature,
provided the ratifications have then been exchanged, or if they have not, then on
the date at which such exchange takes place.

Consul at Momein or Shunning Fu as the Government of Great Britain may prefer,
instead of at Manwyne as stipulated in the Original Convention, and also to station
a Consul at Szumao.
British subjects and persons under British protection may establish themselves

China.
The Consuls appointed as above shall be on the same footing as regards

and for the belter protection of British commerce in the neighbouring seas, the
Government of His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to lease to the Government

SUPPLEMENTARY COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
Signed at Shanghai, 5th Septembek, 1902
Ratifications exchanged at Peking, 28th July, 1903.
His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain’and Ireland and of
the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, and His Majesty the Em-
peror of China, having resolved to enter into negotiations with a view to carrying out -
the provisions contained in Article XI. of the Final Protocol signed at Peking on the
7th of September, 1901, under which the Chinese Government agreed to negotiate the
amendments deemed useful by the Foreign Governments to the Treaties of Commerce
and Navigation and other subjects concerning commercial relations with the object of
facilitating them, have for that purpose named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to
say:—
His M i jesty the King of Great Britain and Ireland, His Majesty’s Special Com-
missioner, Sir J,imes Lyle Mackay, Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of
tdie Indian Empire, a member of the Council of the Secretary of State for India, etc.
And His Majesty the Emperor of China, the Imperial Commissioners Lii Hai-huan,
President of the Board of Public Works, etc., and Sheng Hsuan-huai, Junior Guardian
of the Heir Apparent, Senior Vice-President of the Board of Public Works, etc.
Who having communicated to each other their respective full powers, and
found them to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the
following Articles:—
Art. I.—Delay having occurred in the past in the issue of Drawback Certificates
•wing to the fact that those documents have to be dealt with by the Superintendent
of Customs at a distance from the Customs Office, it is now agreed that Drawback
Certificates shall hereafter in all cases be issued by the Imperial Maritime Customs
within three weeks of the presentation to the Customs of the papers entitling the
applicant to receive such Drawback Certificates.
These Certificates shall be valid tender to the Customs Authorities in payment
of any duty upon goods imported or exported (transit dues excepted), or shall, in the
case of Drawbacks on foreign goods re-exported abroad within three years from the
date of importation, be payable in cash without deduction by the Customs Bank at
the place where the import duty was paid.
But if, in connection with any application for a Drawback Certificate, the
Customs Authorities discover an attempt to defraud the revenue, the applicant shall
be liable to a fine not exceeding five times the amount of the duty whereof he
attempted to defraud the Customs, or to a confiscation of the goods.
Art. II. —China agrees to take the necessary steps to provide for a uniform
national coinage which shall be legal tender in payment of all duties, taxes and other
obligations throughout the Empire by British as well as Chinese subjects.
Art. Ifl.—China agrees that the duties and lekin combined levied on goods carried
by junks from Hongkong to the Treaty Ports in the Canton Province and vice versa
shall together not be less than the duties charged by the Imperial Maritime Customs
on similar goods carried by steamer.
Art. IV.—Whereas questions have arisen in the past concerning the right of
Chinese subjects to invest money in non-Chinese enterprises and companies, and
whereas it is a matter of common knowledge that large sums of Chinese capital are
so invested, China hereby agrees to recognise the legality of all such investments past,
present and future.
;2G THE BRI FISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
It being, moreover, of the utmost importance that all shareholders in a Joint Stock
Company should stand on a footing of perfect equality as far as mutual obligations
are concerned, China further agrees that Chinese subjects who have or may become
shareholders in any British Joint Stock Company shall be held to have accepted, by
the very act of becoming shareholders, the Charter of Incorporation or Memorandum
and Articles of Association of such Company and regulations framed thereunder as
interpreted by British Courts, and that Chinese Courts shall enforce compliance there-
with by such Chinese shareholders, if a suit to that effect be entered, provided always
that their liability shall not be other or greater than that of British shareholders in
the same Company.
Similarly the British Government agree that British subjects investing in
Chinese Companies shall be under the same obligations as the Chinese shareholders
in such companies.
The foregoing shall not apply to cases which have already been before the Courts
and been dismissed.
Art. Y.—The Chinese Government undertake to remove within the next two
years the artificial obstructions to navigation in the Canton .River. The Chinese
Government also agree to improve the accommodation for shipping in the harbour of
Canton and to take the necessary steps to maintain that improvement, such work to
be carried out by the Imperial Maritime Customs and the cost thereof to be defrayed
by a tax on goods landed and shipped by British and Chinese alike according to a
ncale to be arranged between the merchants and the Customs Authorities.
The Chinese Government are aware of the desirability of improving the naviga-
bility by steamer of the waterway between Ichang and Chungking, but are also fully
aware that such improvement might involve heavy expense and would affect the
interests of the population of the provinces of Szechuen, Hunan, and Hupeh. It is,
•therefore, mutually agreed that until improvements can be carried out steamship
owners shall be allowed, subject to approval by the Imperial Maritime Customs, to
.erect, at their own expense, appliances for hauling through the rapids. Such
appliances shall be at the disposal of all vessels, both steamers and junks, subject to
regulations to be drawn up by the Imperial Maritime Customs. These appliances
shall not obstruct the waterway or interfere with the free passage of junks. Signal
stations and channel marks where and when necessary shall be erected by the
Imperial Maritime Customs. Should any practical scheme be presented for improv-
ing the waterway and assisting navigation without injury to the local population or
cost to the Chinese Government, it shall be considered by the latter in a friendly
spirit, t-

on official representation being made by the British Authorities, to grant the privi-
leges of a bonded warehouse to any warehouse which, to the satisfaction of the
Customs Authorities, affords the necessary security to the revenue.
Such warehouses will be subject to regulations, including a scale of fees according
to commodities, distance from Custom-house and hours of working, to be drawn up
by the Customs Authorities who will meet the convenience of merchants so far as is
compatible with the protection of the revenue.
Art. VII.—Inasmuch as the British Government affords protection to Chinese
trade marks against infringement, imitation, or colourable imitation by British
subjects, the Chinese Government undertake to afford protection to British trade
marks against infringement, imitation, or colourable imitation by Chinese subjects.
The Chinese Government further undertake that the Superintendents of Northern,
and of Southern trade shall establish offices within their respective jurisdictions under
control of the Imperial Maritime Customs where foreign trade marks may be
registered on payment of a reasonable fee.
Art. VIII.—Preamble. The Chinese Government, recognising that the system
Oi levying lekin and other dues on goods at the place of production, in transit, and at
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 2T
destination, impedes the free circulation of commodities and injures the interests of
trade, hereby undertake to discard completely those means of raising revenue with
the limitation mentioned in Section 8.
The British Government, in return, consent to allow a surtax, in excess of the1
Tariff rates for the time being in force, to he imposed on foreign goods imported by
British subjects, and a surtax in addition to the export duty on Chinese produce
destined for export abroad or coastwise.
It is clearly understood that after lehin barriers and other stations for taxing
goods in transit have been removed, no attempt shall be made to revive them in any
form or under any pretext whatsoever; that in no case shall the surtax on foreign
imports exceed the equivalent of one and a half times the import duty leviable in
terms of the Final Protocol signed by China and the Powers on the 7th day of Sep-
tember, 1901; that payment of the import duty and surtax shall secure for foreign
imports, whether in the hands of Chinese or non-Chinese subjects, in original packages
or otherwise, complete immunity from all other taxation, examination or delay ; that
the total amount of taxation leviable on native produce for export abroad shall, under
no circumstances, exceed 7| per cent, ad valorem.
Keeping these fundamental principles steadily in view, the high contracting
parties have agreed upon the following methods of procedure:—
Section 1.—The Chinese Government undertake that all barriers of whatsoever
kind, collecting lehin or such like dues or duties, shall be permanently abolished on all
roads, railways, and waterways in the Eighteen Provinces of China and the Three
Eastern Provinces. This provision does not apply to the Native Custom-houses at
present in existence on the seaboard or waterways, at open ports, on land routes, and
on land frontiers of China.
Section 2.—The British Government agree that foreign goods on importation, in,
addition to the effective 5 per cent, import duty as provided for in the Protocol of 1901-
shall pay a special surtax equivalent to one and a half times the said duty to comr
pensate for the abolition of lekin, of transit dues in lieu of lehin, and of all otheA
taxation on foreign goods, and in consideration of the other reforms provided for in
this Article; but this provision shall not impair the right of China to tax salt, native
opium and native produce as provided for in Sections 8, 5, 6 and 8.
The same amount of surtax shall be levied on goods imported into the Eighteen
Provinces of China and the Three Eastern Provinces across the land frontiers as on
goods entering China by sea.
Section 3.—All Native Custom-houses now existing, whether at the Open Ports,
on the seaboard, on rivers, inland waterways, land routes or land frontiers, as
enumerated in the Hu Pu and Kung Pu Tse Li (Regulations of the Boards of Bevenue
and Works) and Ta Ch’ing Hui Tien (Dynastic Institutes), may remain; a list of the
same, with their location, shall be furnished to the British Government, for purposes
of record.
Wherever there are Imperial Maritime Custom-houses, or wherever such may
be hereafter placed, Native Custom-houses may be also established ; as well as at any
points either on the seaboard or land frontiers.
The location of Native Custom-houses in the Interior may be changed as the
circumstances of trade seem to require, but any change must be communicated to the
British Government, so that the list may be corrected; the originally stated number
of them shall not, however, be exceeded.
Goods carried by junks or sailing-vessels trading to or from open ports shall not
pay lower duties than the combined duties and surtax on similar cargo carried by
steamers.
Native produce, when transported from one place to another in the interior, shall,
on arrival at the first Native Custom-house, after leaving the place of production, pay
duty equivalent to the export surtax mentioned in Section 7.
When this duty has been paid, a certificate shall be given which shall describe the
nature of the goods, weight, number of packages, etc., amount of duty paid and
intended destination. This certificate, which shall be valid for a fixed period of not
28 THE iramSH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
less than one year from date of payment of duty, shall free the goods from all taxation,
examination, delay, or stoppage at any other Native Custom-houses passed e» route.
If the goods are taken to a place not in the foreign settlements or concessions of an
-open port, for local use, they become there liable to the Consumption Tax described
in Section 8.
If the goods are shipped from an open port, the certificate is to be accepted by
the Custom-house concerned, in lieu of the export surtax mentioned in Section 7.
Junks, boats, or carts shall not be subjected to any taxation beyond a small and
reasonable charge, paid periodically at a fixed annual rate. This does not exclude the
right to levy, as at present, tonnage (Chuan Chao) and port dues (Chuan Liao) on
junks.
Section 4.—Foreign opium duty and present leliin—which latter will now become
a surtax in lieu of lekin—shall remain as provided for by existing Treaties.
Section 5.—The British Government have no intention whatever of interfering
with China’s right to tax native opium, but it is essential to declare that, in bet
arrangements for levying such taxation, China will not subject other goods to taxation,
delay, or stoppage.
China is free to retain at important points on the borders of each province—either
on land or water—offices for collecting duty on native opium, where duties or contribu-
tions leviable shall be paid in one lump sum ; which payment shall cover taxation of all
kinds within that province. Each cake of opium will have a stamp affixed as evidence
of duty payment. Excise officers and police may be employed in connection with these
offices ; but no barriers or other obstructions are to be erected, and the excise officers
nr police of these offices shall not stop or molest any other kinds of goods, or collect
taxes thereon.
A list of these offices shall be drawn up and communicated to the British Govern-
ment for record.
Section 6.—Lekin on salt is hereby abolished and the amount of said lekin and of
other taxes and contributions shall be added to the salt duty, which shall be collected
nt place of production or at first station after entering the province where it is to be
consumed.
The Chinese Government shall be at liberty to establish salt reporting offices at
which boats conveying salt which is being moved under salt passes or certificates may
be required to stop for purposes of examination and to have their certificates vised,
but at such offices no lekin or transit taxation shall be levied and no barriers or
obstructions of any kind shall be erected.
Section 7.—The Chinese Government may re-cast the Export Tariff with specific
duties as far as practicable on a scale not exceeding five per cent, ad valorem; but
existing export duties shall not be raised until at least six months’ notice has been
given.
In cases where existing export duties are above five per cent, they shall be
reduced to not more than that rate.
An additional special surtax of one half the export duty payable for the time
being, in lieu of internal taxation and lekin, may be levied at time of export on goods
exported either to foreign countries or coastwise.
In the case of silk, whether hand or filature reeled, the total export duty shall not
exceed a specific rate equivalent to not more than five per cent, ad valorem. Half of
this specific duty may be levied at the first Native Custom-house in the interior which
the silk may pass and in such case a certificate shall be given as provided for in Section
3, and will be accepted by the Custom-house concerned at place of export in lieu of
half the export duty. Cocoons passing Native Custom-houses shall be liable to no
taxation whatever. Silk not exported but consumed in China is liable to -the Con-
-sumption Tax mentioned in Section 8.
Section 8.—The abolition of the lekin system in China and the abandonment of all
other kinds of internal taxation on foreign imports and on exports will diminish the

THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 29
remains the loss of lekin revenue on internal trade to be met, and it is therefore agreed
that the Chinese Government are at liberty to impose a Consumption Tax on articles
of Chinese origin not intended for export.
This tax shall be levied only at places of consumption and not on goods while in
transit, and the Chinese Government solemnly undertake that the arrangements which
they may make for its collection shall in no way interfere with foreign goods or with
native goods for export. The fact of goods being of foreign origin shall of itself free
them from all taxation, delay, or stoppage, after having passed the Custom-house.
Foreign goods which bear a similarity to native goods shall be furnished by the
•Custom-house, if required by the owner, with a protective certificate for each package,
on payment of import duty and surtax, to prevent the risk of any dispute in the
interior.
Native goods brought by junks to open ports, if intended for local consumption—
irrespective of the nationality of the owner of the goods—shall be reported at the
NativeCustom-h >use only, where the consumption tax may be levied.
China is at liberty to fix the amount of this (consumption) tax, which may vary
according to the nature of the merchandise concerned, that is to say, according as the
.articles are necessaries of life or luxuries; but it shall be levied at a uniform rate on
■goods of the same description, no matter whether carried by junk, sailing-vessel, or
■steamer. As mentioned in Section 3, the Consumption Tax is not to be levied within
foreign settlements or concessions.
Section 9.—An excise equivalent to double the import duty as laid down in the
Protocol of 1901 is to be charged on all machine-made yarn and cloth manufactured in
(China, whether by foreigners at the open ports or by Chineise anywhere in China.
A rebate of the import duty and two-thirJs of the import surtax is to be given
on raw cotton imported from foreign countries, and of all duties, including Consump-
tion Tax, paid on Chinese raw cotton used in mills in China.
Chinese machine-made yarn or cloth having paid excise is to be free of Export
Duty, Export Surtax, Coast Trade Duty, and Consumption Tax. This Excise is to be
collected through the Iir.periid Maritime Customs.
The same principle and procedure are to be applied to all other products of foreign
type turned out by machinery, whether by foreigners at the open ports or by
Chinese anywhere in China.
This stipulation is not to apply to the out-turn of the Hanyang and Ta Yeh Iron
Works in Hupeh and other similar existing Government Works at present exempt from
taxation; or to that of Arsenals, Government Dockyards, or establishments of that
nature for Government purposes which may hereafter be erected.
Section 10.—A member or members of the Imperial Maritime Customs Foreign
Staff shall be selected by each of the Governors-General and Governors, and appointed,
in consultation with the Inspector-General of Imperial Maritime Customs, to each pro-
vince for duty in connection with Native Customs affairs, Consumption Tax, Salt and
Native Opium Taxes. These officers shall exercise an efficient supervision of the work-
ing of these departments, and in the event of their reporting any case of abuse, illegal
exaction, obstruction to the movement of goods, or other cause of complaint, the
Governor-General or Governor concerned will take immediate steps to put an end to
•same.
Section 11.—Cases where illegal action as described in this Article is complained of
shall be promptly investigated by an officer of the Chinese Government of sufficiently
high rank, in conjunction with a British officer and an officer of the Imperial Maritime
Customs, each of sufficient standing; and in the event of its being found by a majority
of the investigating officers that the complaint is well founded and loss has been
incurred, due compensation is to be at once paid from the Surtax funds, through the
Imperial Maritime Customs at the nearest open port. The High Provincial Officials
are to be held responsible that the officer guilty of the illegal action shall be severely
punished and removed from his post.
If the complaint turns out to be without foundation, complainant shall be held
responsible for the expenses of the investigation.
30 THE BEITISH COMMEKCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
His Britaiitiic Majesty’s Minister will have the right to demand Investigation
where from the evidence before him he is satisfied that illegal exactions or obstructions •
have occurred.
Section 12.—The Chinese Government agree to open to foreign trade, on the same •
footing as the places opened to foreign trade by the Treaties of Nanking and Tientsin,
the following places, namely:—
Changsha in Hunan;
Wanhsien in Szechuen;
Nganking in Anhui ^
Waichow (Hui-chow) in Kwangtung; and
Kongmoon (Chiang-men) in Kwangtung.
Foreigners residing in these open ports are to observe the Municipal and Police
Regulations on the same footing as Chinese residents, and they are not to be entitled'
to establish Municipalities and Police of their own within the limits of these Treaty
Ports except with the consent of the Chinese authorities.
If this Article does not come into operation the right to demand under it the-
opening of these ports, with the exception of Kongmoon, which is provided for im
Article 10, shall lapse.
Section 13.—Subject to the provisions of Section 14, the arrangements provided)
for in this Article are to come into force on 1st January, 1904.
By that date all lekin barriers shall be removed and officials employed in the-
collection of taxes and dues prohibited by this Article shall be removed from their
posts.
Section 14.—The condition on which the Chinese Government enter into the
present engagement is that all Powers entitled to most favoured nation treatment in..
China enter into the same engagements as Great Britain with regard to the payment
of surtaxes and other obligations imposed by this Article on His Britannic MajestyV
Government and subjects.
The conditions on which His Britannic Majesty’s Government enter into the-
present engagement are: —
(1.) That all Powers who are now or who may hereafter become entitled to most
favoured nation treatment in China enter into the same engagements;
(2.) And that their assent is neither directly nor indirectly made dependent on the'
granting by China of any political concession, or of any exclusive commercial concession..
Section 15.—Should the Powers entitled to most favoured nation treatment by
China have failed to agree to enter into the engagements undertaken by Great Britain
under this Article by the 1st January, 1904, then the provisions of the Article shall
only come into force when all the Powers have signified their acceptance of these
engagements.
Section 16.—When the abolition of leTcin and other forms of internal taxation on.
goods as provided for in this Article has been decided upon and sanctioned, an Imperial
Edict shall be published in due form on yellow paper and circulated, setting forth the-
abolition of all lekin taxation, lekin barriers and all descriptions of internal taxation on.
goods, except as provided for in this Article.
The Edict shall state that the Provincial High Officials are responsible that any
official disregarding the letter or spirit of its injunction shall be severely punished and
removed from his post.
Art. IX.—The Chinese Government, recognising that it is advantageous for the-
country to develop its mineral resources, and that it is desirable to attract Foreign as
well as Chinese capital to embark in mining enterprises, agree within one year from the
signing of this Treaty to initiate and conclude the revision of the existing Mining
Regulations. China will, with all expedition and earnestness, go into the whole-
question of Mining Rules and, selecting from the rules of Great Britain, India, and
other countries, regulations which seem applicable to the condition of China, she will
re-cast her present Mining Rules in such a way as while promoting the interests o
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 31
Chinese subjects and not injuring in any way the sovereign rights of China, shall offer
aio impediment to the attraction of foreign capital, or place foreign capitalists at a
greater disadvantage than they would be under generally accepted foreign regulations.
Any mining concession granted after the publication of these new Eules shall be
subject to their provisions.
Art. X.—Whereas in the year 1898 the Inland Waters of China were opened to all
such steam vessels, native or foreign, as might be especially registered for that trade
.at the Treaty Ports, and whereas the Eegulations dated 28th July, 1898, andSupple-
anentary Eules dated September, 1898, have been found in some respects inconvenient
in working, it is now mutually agreed to amend them and to annex such new Eules
-to this Treaty. These Eules shall remain in force until altered by mutual consent.
It is further agreed that Kongmoon shall be opened as a Treaty Port, and that, in
addition to the places named in the special Article of the Burmah Convention of 4th
February, 1897, British steamers shall be allowed to land or ship cargo and passengers,
under the same regulations as apply to the “ Ports of Call ” on the Yangtze Eiver, at
the following “ Ports of Call”: PakTau Hau (Pai-t‘u k‘ou),Lo Ting Hau (Lo-ting k'ou),
and Do Sing (Tou-ch‘eng); and to land or discharge passengers at the following ten
passenger landing stages on the West Eiver:—Yung Ki (Jung-chi), Mah Xing (Ma-
ning), Kau Kong (Chiu-chiang), Kulow (Ku-lao), Wing On (Yung-an), How Lik
(Houli), Luk Pu (Lu-pu), Yuet Sing (Yiieh-ch‘eng), Luk To (Lu-tu) and Fung Chuen
.(Feng-ch‘uan).
Art. XI.—His Britannic Majesty’s Government agree to the prohibition of the
general importation of morphia into China, on condition, however, that die Chinese
Government will allow of its importation, on payment of the Tariff import duty and
under special permit, by duly qualified British medical practitioners and for the
use of hospitals, or by British chemists and druggists who shall only be permitted
to sell it in small quantities and on receipt of a requisiiion signed by a duly qualified
foreign medical practitioner.
The special permits above referred to will be granted to an intending importer
•on his signing a bond before a British Consul guaranteeing the fulfilment of these
conditions. Should an importer be found guilty before a British Consul of a breach
•of his bond, he will not be entitled to take out another permit. Any British subject
importing morphia without a permit shall be liable to have such morphia con-
fiscated.
This Article will come into operation on. all other Treaty Powers agreeing to its
cpnditions, but any morphia actually shipped before that date will not be affected by
this prohibition.
The Chinese Government on their side undertake to adopt measures at once to
prevent the manufacture of morphia in China.
Art. XII.—China having expressed a strong desire to reform her judicial system
and to bring it into accord with that of Western nations, Great Britain agrees to
give every assistance to such reform, and she will also be prepared to relinquish her
extra-territorial rights when she is satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the
arrangement for their administration and other considerations warrant her in so
doing.
Art. XIII.—The missionary question in China being, in the opinion of the
Chinese Government, one requiring careful consideration, so that, if possible, troubles
rsuch as have occurred in the past may be averted in the future, Great Britain agrees
to join in a Commission to investigate this question, and, if possible, to devise means
for securing permanent peace between converts and non-converts, should such a
Commission be formed by China and the Treaty Powers interested.
Art. XIY.—Whereas under Eu!e Y. appended to the Treaty of Tientsin of 1858.
British merchants are permitted to export rice and all other grain from one port of
China to another under the same conditions in respect of security as copper “cash,”
it is now agreed that in cases of expected scarcity or famine from whatsoever cause in
any district, the Chinese Government shall, on giving twenty-one days’ notice, be at
liberty to prohibit the shipment of rice and other grain from such district.
32 THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
Should any vessel specially chartered to load rice or grain previously contracted;
for have arrived at her loading port prior to or on the day when a notice of prohibition
to export comes into force, she shall be allowed an extra week in which to ship her
cargo.
If during the existence of this prohibition, any shipment of rice or grain is allowed
by the authorities, the prohibition shall, ipso facto, be considered cancelled and shall
not be re-imposed until six weeks’ notice has been given.
When a prohibition is notified, it will be stated whether the Government have any
Tribute or Army Eice which they intend to ship during the time of prohibition, and,
if so, the quantity shall be named.
Such rice shall not be included in the prohibition, and the Customs shall keep a
record of any Tribute or Army Rice so shipped or landed.
The Chinese Government undertake that no rice, other than Tribute or Army
Eice belonging to the Government, shall be shipped during the period of prohibition.
Notifications of prohibitions, and of the quantities of Army or Tribute Eice for
shipment shall be made by the Governors of the Province concerned.
Similarly, notifications of the removals of prohibitions shall be made by the same
authorities.
The export of rice and other grain to foreign countries remains prohibited.
Art. XY.—It is agreed that either of the High Contracting Parties to this Treaty
may demand a revision of the Tariff at the end of 10 years; but if no demand be made
on either side within 6 months after the end of the first 10 years, then the Tariff shall
remain in force for 10 years more, reckoned from the end of the preceding 10 years,
and so it shall be at the end of each successive 10 years.
Any Tariff concession which China may hereafter accord to articles of the produce
or manufacture of any other State shall immediately be extended to similar articles
of the produce or manufacture of His Britannic Majesty’s Dominions by whomsoever
imported.
Treaties already existing between the United Kingdom and China shall continue-
in force in so far as they are not abrogated or modified by stipulations of the present
Treaty.
Art. XYI.—-The English and Chinese Texts of the present Treaty have been care-
fully compared, but in the event of there being any difference of meaning between
them, the sense as expressed in the English text shall be held to be the correct sense.
The ratifications of this Treaty, under the hand of His Majesty the King of
Great Britain and Ireland and of His Majesty the Emperor of China respectively shall
be exchanged at Peking within a year from this day of signature.
In token whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed and sealed this
Treaty, two copies in English and two in Chinese.

Shanghai: K. H. XXVIII., 7th moon, 11th day
(Received August 15, 1902,)
We have the honour to inform you that we have received the following telegram
from His Excellency Liu, Governor General of the Liang Chiang, on the subject of
Clause II. mutually agreed upon by us:
“ As regards this clause, it is necessary to insert therein a clear stipulation, to the
“effect that, no matter what changes may take place in the future, all Customs’ duties
“ must continue to be calculated on the basis of the existing higher rate of the Haikwan
“ Tael over the Treasury Tael, and that ‘ the touch ’ and weight of the former must be
“ made good.”
As we have already arranged with you that a declaration of this kind should be
embodied in an Official Note, and form an annex to the present Treaty, for purposes of
record, we hereby do ourselves the honour to make this communication.
Annex A—(2)
Shanghai, August 18th, 1902.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 14th instant
forwarding copy of a telegram from His Excellency Liu, Governor-General of the
Liang Chiang, on the subject of Article II. of the new Treaty, and in reply I have the
honour to state that His Excellency’s understanding of the Article is perfectly correct.
I presume the Chinese Government will make arrangements for the coinage of a
national silver coin of such weight and touch as may be decided upon by them.
These coins will be made available to the public in return for a quantity of silver
bullion of equivalent weight and fineness plus the usual mintage charge.
The coins which will become the national coinage of China will be declared by
the Chinese Government to be legal tender in payment of Customs duty and in
discharge of obligations contracted in Haikwan taels, but only at their proportionate
value to the Haikwan tael, whatever that may be.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,

with the Governors-General of the Liang Chiang and the Hu-kuang Provinces, Their
Excellencies Liu and Chang, addressed the following telegraphic Memorial to the
Throne :—

34 THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
“ In the negotiations now being conducted with Great Britain for the amendment 1
“ of the Commercial Treaties, a mutual arrangement has been come to providing for j
“ the imposition of additional taxes, in compensation for the abolition of all kinds of
■“ lekin and other imposts on goods, prohibited by Article VIII. After payment of u“ interest and sinking fund on the existing foreign loan, to the extent to which lekin
is thereto pledged, these additional taxes shall be allocated to the various Provinces
<<“ to make up deficiencies and replace revenue, in order that no hardships may be
proposal to increase the duties in compensation for the loss of revenue derived from i
“ lekin and other imposts bn goods, it is further stipulated that the surtaxes shall not (j
“ be appropriated for other purposes, shall not form part of the Imperial Maritime
“Customs revenue proper, and shall in no case be pledged as security for any new
“ foreign loan.
“ It is therefore necessary to memorialize for the issue of an Edict, giving effect
“ to the above stipulations and directing the Board of Revenue to find out what j
‘‘proportion of the provincial revenues derived from lekin of all kinds, now about i
“ to be abolished, each Province has hitherto had to remit, and what proportion it ■
“ has been entitled to retain, so that, when the Article comes into operation, due ■
“ apportionment may be made accordingly, thus providing the Provinces with funds I
“ available for local expenditure and displaying equitable and just treatment towards
“ all.”
On the 1st instant an Imperial Decree “ Let action, as requested, be taken,”
was issued, and we now do ourselves the honour reverently to transcribe the same
for your information.

Shanghai, September 5th, 1902. |
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 2nd instant
forwarding the text of the Memorial and Decree dealing with the disposal of the1
surtaxes.
I understand that the surtaxes in addition to not being pledged for any new:
foreign loan are not to be pledged to, or held to be security for, liabilities already1
contracted by China except in so far as lekin revenue has already been pledged to ani
existing loan.
I also understand from the Memorial that the whole of the surtaxes provided by|
Article VIII. of the New Treaty goes to the Provinces in proportions to be agreed,
upon between them and the Board of Revenue, but that out of these surtaxes each;
Province is obliged to remit to Peking the same contribution as that which it has;
hitherto remitted out of its lekin collections, and that the Provinces also provide as!
hitherto out of these surtaxes whatever funds may be necessary for the service of the
foreign loan to which lekin is partly pledged.
I hope Tour Excellencies will send me a reply to this despatch and that you will
agree to this correspondence forming part of the Treaty as an Annex.
I have the honour to be,

Your obedient servant,

Works;
Imperial Chinese Commissioners for dealing with questions connected with the
Commercial Treaties, to
Sir James L. Mackat, His Britannic Majesty’s Special Commissioner.
Shanghai, September 5th, 1902.
We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of to-day’s-
date with regard to the allocation of the surtax funds allotted to the Provinces, and to
inform you that the views therein expressed are the same as our own.
We would, however, wish to point out that, were the whole amount of the alloca-
tion due paid over to the Provinces, unnecessary expense would be incurred in the
retransmission by them of such portions thereof as would have to be remitted to
Peking in place of the contributions hitherto payable out of lehin revenue. The
amount, therefore, of the allocation due to the Provinces, arranged between them and
the Board of Revenue, will be retained in the hands of the Maritime Customs, who
will await the instructions of the Provinces in regard to the remittance of such
portion thereof as may be necessary to fulfil their obligations, and (on receipt of
these instructions) will send forward the amount direct. The balance will be held
to the order of the Provinces.
In so far as lehin is pledged to the service of the 1898 loan, a similar method of
procedure will be adopted.
As you request that this correspondence be annexed to the Treaty, we have the •
honour to state that we see no objection to this being done.
Annex C
INLAND WATERS STEAM NAVIGATION
Additional Rules
1. —British steamship owners are at liberty to lease warehouses and
banks of waterways from Chinese subjects for a term not exceeding 25 years, with
option of renewal on terms to be mutually arranged. In cases where British mer-
chants are unable to secure warehouses and jetties from Chinese subjects on satis-
factory terms, the local officials, after consultation with the Minister of Commerce,
shall arrange to provide these on renewable lease as above mentioned at current
equitable rates.
2. —Jetties shall only be erected in such positions that they will not
inland waterway or interfere with navigation, and with the sanction of the nearest
Commissioner of Customs ; such sanction, however, shall not be arbitrarily withheld.
3. —British merchants shall pay taxes and contributions on these wa
jetties on the same footing as Chinese proprietors of similar properties in the neigh-
bourhood. British merchants may only employ Chinese agents and staff to reside in
warehouses so leased at places touched at by steamers engaged in inland traffic to
carry on their business; but British merchants may visit these places from time to
time to look after their affairs. The existing rights of Chinese jurisdiction over
Chinese subjects shall not by reason of this clause be diminished or interfered with

4. —Steam vessels navigating the inland waterways of China shall
tor loss caused to riparian proprietors by damage which they may do to the banks
2*
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
or works on them and for the loss which may be caused by such damage. In the
event of China desiring to prohibit the use of some particular shallow waterway by
launches, because there is reason to fear that the use of it by them would be likely
to injure the banks and cause damage to the adjoining country, the British
authorities, when appealed to, shall, if satisfied of the validity of the objection,
prohibit the use of that waterway by British launches, provided that Chinese
launches are also prohibited from using it.
Both Foreign and Chinese launches are prohibited from crossing dams and weirs
at present in existence on inland waterways where they are likely to cause injury to
such works, which would be detrimental to the water service of the local people.
5. —The main object of the British Government in desiring to
waterways of China opened to steam navigation being to afford facilities for the rapid
transport of both foreign and native merchandise, they undertake to offer no impedi-
ment to the transfer to a Chinese company and the Chinese flag of any British
steamer which may now or hereafter be employed on the inland waters of China
should the owner be willing to make the transfer.
In event of a Chinese company registered under Chinese law being formed to run
steamers on the inland waters of China the fact of British subjects holding shares in
such a company shall not entitle the steamers to fly the British flag.
6. —Registered steamers and their tows are forbidden, just as jun
been forbidden, to carry contraband goods. Infraction of this rule will entail the
penalties prescribed in the Treaties for such an oflence, and cancellation of the inland
Waters Navigation Certificate carried by the vessels, which will be prohibited from
thereafter plying on inland waters.
7. —As it is desirable that the people living inland should be dis
as possible by the advent of steam vessels to which they are not accustomed, inland
waters not hitherto frequented by steamers shall be opened as gradually as may be
• convenient to merchants and only as the owners of steamers may see prospects of
remunerative trade.
In cases where it is intended to run steam vessels on waterways on which such
vessels have not hitherto run, intimation shall be made to the Commissioner of
■Customs at the nearest open port who shall report the matter to the Ministers of
Commerce. The latter, in conjunction with the Governor-General or Governjr of
the Province, after careful consideration of all the circumstances of the case, shall at
once give their approval.
8. —A registered steamer may ply within the waters of a port,
port or ports to another open port or ports, or from one open port or ports of
places inland, and thence back to such port or ports. She may, on making due
report to the Customs, land or ship passengers or cargo at any recognised places of
trade passed in the course of the voyage; but may not ply between inland places
• exclusively except with the consent of the Chinese Government.
9- —Any cargo and passenger boats may be towed by steamers
and crew of any boat towed shall be Chinese. All boats, irrespective of ownership,
must be registered before they can proceed inland.

RULES
Rule I.—Imports unenumerated in this Tariff will pay duty at the rate of
5 per cent, ad valorem; and the value upon which Duty is to he calculated shall he
the market value of the goods in local currency. This market value when converted
into Haikwan Taels shall he considered to be 12 per cent, higher than the amount
upon which duty is to be calculated.
If the goods have been sold before presentation to the Customs of the
Application to pay Duty, the gross amount of the bond fide contract will he
accepted as evidence of the market value. Should the goods have been sold on
e., f. and i. terms, that is to say, without inclusion in the price of duty and other
charges, such c., f. and i. price shall be taken as the value for duty-paying purposes
without the deduction mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
If the goods have not been sold before presentation to the Customs of the
application to pay duty, and should a dispute arise between Customs and importer
regarding the value or classification of goods, the case will be referred to a Board of
Arbitration composed as follows:—
An official of the Customs ;
A merchant selected by the Consul of the importer ; and
A merchant, differing in nationality from the importer, selected by the
Senior Consul.
50 CUSTOMS TARIFF
Questions regarding procedure, etc., which may arise during the sittings of the-
Board shall be decided by the majority. The final finding of the majority of the
Board, which must be announced within fifteen days of the reference (not including
holidays), will be binding upon both parties. Each of the two merchants on the
Board will be entitled to a fee of ten Haikwan Taels. Should the Board sustain
the Customs valuation, or, in the event of not sustaining that valuation, should it
decide that the goods have been undervalued by the importer to the extent of not less
than 1\ per cent., the importer will pay the fees ; if otherwise, the fees will be paid
by the Customs. Should the Board decide that the correct value of the goods is
20 per cent, (or more) higher than that upon which the importer originally claimed
to pay duty, the Customs authorities may retain possession of the goods until full
duty has been paid and may levy an additional duty equal to four times the duty
sought to be evaded.
In all cases invoices, when available, must be produced if required by the Customs.
Rule II.—The following will not be liable to Import Duty: Foreign Rice,
Cereals, and Flour; Gold and Silver, both Bullion and Coin; Printed Books,
Charts, Maps, Periodicals and Newspapers.
A freight or part freight of Duty-free commodities (Gold and Silver Bullion
and Foreign Coins excepted) will render the vessel carrying them, though no other
cargo be on board, liable to Tonnage Dues.
Drawbacks will be issued for Ship’s Stores and Bunker Coal when taken on
board.
Rule III.—Except at the requisition of the Chinese Government, or for sale
to Chinese duly authorised to purchase them, Import trade is prohibited in all
Arms, Ammunition, and Munitions of War of every description. No Permit to
land them will be issued until the Customs have proof that the necessary authority
has been given to the Importer. Infraction of this rule will be punishable by
confiscation of all the goods concerned. The import of Salt is absolutely prohibited.

RULES
( Annexed to the Tariff of 1858)
Rule I.—Unenumerated Goods.—Articles not enumerated in the list of exports,
but enumerated in the list of imports, when exported, will pay the amount of duty
-set against them in the list of imports; and, similarly, articles not enumerated in
the list of imports, but enumerated in the list of exports, when imported, will pay
the amount of duty set against them in the list of exports.
Articles not enumerated in either list, nor in the list of duty-free goods, will pay
an ad valorem duty of 5 per cent., calculated on their market value.
Rule II.—Duty-free Goods.—Gold and silver bullion, foreign coins, flour, Indian
meal, sago, biscuits, preserved meats and vegetables, cheese, butter, confectionery,
foreign clothing, jewellery, plated-ware, perfumery, soap of all kinds, charcoal,
firewood, candles (foreign), tobacco (foreign), cigars (foreign), wine, beer, spirits,
household stores, ship’s stores, personal baggage, stationery, carpeting, druggeting,
cutlery, foreign medicines, glass, and crystal ware.
The above pay no import or export duty, but, if transported into the interior
will, with the exception of personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins,
pay a transit duty at the rate of 2| per cent, ad valorem.
A freight, or part freight, of duty-free commodities (personal baggage, gold
and silver bullion, and foreign coins, excepted) will render the vessel carrying them,
though no other cargo be on board, liable to tonnage dues.
Rule III.—Contraband Goods.—Import and export trade is alike prohibited in
the following articles: Gunpowder, shot, cannon, fowling-pieces, rifles, muskets,
pistols, and all other munitions and implements of war; and salt.
Rule IV.— Weights and Measures.—In the calculation of the Tariff, the weight
of a picul of one hundred catties is held to be equal to one hundred and thirty-three
and one-third pounds avoirdupois; and the length of a chang of ten Chinese feet to
be equal to one hundred and forty-one English inches.
One Chinese chih is held to be equal to fourteen and one-tenth inches English;
and four yards English, less three inches, to equal one chang.
RuleV.—Regarding Certain Commodities Heretofore Contraband.—The restric-
tions affecting trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, sulphur, brimstone, saltpetre, and

The provisions of Article IX. of the Treaty of Tientsin, by which British subjects
are authorized to proceed into the interior with passports to trade, will not
extend to it, nor will those of Article XXVII. of the same treaty, by which the
transit dues are regulated. The transit dues on it will be arranged as the Chinese
Government see fit: nor in future revisions of the Tariff is the same rule of revision
to be applied to opium as to other goods.

six months from the date of clearance, to the collector at the port of shipm mt, the
certificate issued by him, with an acknowledgment thereon of the receipt of the cash
at the port of destination by the collector at that port, who shall thereto affix his
seal; or failing the pi-oduction of the certificate, to forfeit a sum equal in value to
the cash shipped. Cash will pay no duty inwards or outwards ; but a freight or part
freight of cash, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel carrying it
liable to pay tonnage dues.
3. —The export of rice and all other grain whatsoever, native or foreign, n
where grown or whence imported, to any foreign port, is prohibited; but these
commodities may be carried by British merchants from one of the open ports of
China to another, under the same conditions in respect of security as cash, on pay-
ment at the port of shipment of the duty specified in the Tariff.
No import duty will be leviable on rice or grain; but a freight or part freight of
rice or grain, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel importing it
liable to tonnage dues.
4. —* The export of pulse and beancake from Tung-chau and Newchwa
the British flag, is prohibited. From any other of the ports they may be shipped, on
payment of the tariff duty, either to other ports of China, or to foreign countries.
5. —Saltpetre, sulphur, brimstone, and spelter, being munitions of war,
be imported by British subjects, save at the requisition of the Chinese Government,
or for sale to Chinese duly authorized to purchase them. No permit to land them

given to the purchase. It shall not be lawful for British subjects to carry these
commodities up the Yang-tsze-kiang, or into any port other than those open on the
seaboard, nor to accompany them into the interior on behalf of Chinese. They must
be sold at the ports only, and, except at the ports they will be regarded as Chinese
property.
Infractions of the conditions, as above set forth, under which trade in opium,
cash, grain, pulse, saltpetre, brimstone, sulphur, and spelter may be henceforward
carried on, will be punishable by confiscation of all the goods concerned.
Rule VI.—Liability of Vessels Entering Port. For the prevention of misunder-
standing, it is agreed that the term of twenty-four hours, within which British vessels
must be reported to the Consul under Article XXXVII. of the Treaty of Tientsin,
shall be understood to commence from the time a British vessel comes within the limits
of the port; as also the term of forty-eight hours allowed her by Article XXX. of the
same Treaty to remain in port without payment of tonnage dues.
The limits of the ports shall be defined by the Customs, with all consideration
for the convenience of trade compatible with due protection of the revenue; also the
limits of the anchorages within which lading and discharging is permitted by the
Customs; and the same shall be notified to the Consul for public information.
Rule VII.—Transit Dues.—It is agreed that Article XXXVIII. of the Treaty of
Tientsin shall be interpreted to declare the amounts of transit dues legally leviable
upon merchandise imported or exported by British subjects to be one-half of the tariff
duties, except in the case of the duty-free goods liable ito a transit duty of 2^ per cent.

from which they have been landed, and the place inland to which they are bound,
with all other necessary particulars, the Collector of Customs will, on due inspection
made, and on receipt of the transit duty due, issue a transit duty certificate. This
must be produced at every barrier station, and vised. No further duty will be leviable
upon imports so certificated, no matter how distant the place of their destination.
In the Case of Exports.—Produce purchased by a British subject in the interior
will be inspected, and taken account of, at the first barrier it passes on its way to the
port of shipment. A memorandum showing the amount of the produce and the port
at which it is to be shipped, will be deposited there by the person in charge of the
produce; he will then receive a certificate, which must be exhibited and vised at every
barrier, on his way to the port of shipment. On the arrival of the produce at the
barrier nearest the port notice must be given at the Customs at the port, and the
transit dues due thereon being paid it will be passed. On exportation the produce
will pay the tariff duty*.
Any attempt to pass goods inwards or outward otherwise than in compliance
with the rule here laid down will render them liable to confiscation.
Unauthorised sale, in transitu, of goods that have been entered as above for a
port, will render them liable to confiscation. Any attempt to pass goods in excess
of the quantity specified in the certificate will render all the goods of the same
denomination, named in the certificate, liable to confiscation. Permission to export
produce, which cannot be proved to have paid its transit dues, will be refused by the
Customs until the transit dues shall have been paid. The above being the arrange-
ment agreed to regarding the transit dues, which will thus be levied once and for all,
the notification required under Article XXVIII. of the Treaty of Tientsin, for the
information of British and Chinese subjects, is hereby dispensed with.
Rule VIII.—Peking Not Open to Trade.—It is agreed that Article IX. of the
Treaty of Tientsin shall not be interpreted as authorising British subjects to enter
the capital city of Peking for purposes of trade.
Rule IX.—Abolition of the Meltage Fee.—It is agreed that the percentage of one
Tael two Mace, hitherto charged in excess of duty payments to defray the expenses of
melting by the Chinese Government, shall be no longer levied on British subjects.
Rule X.—Collection of Duties Under One System at all Ports.—It being by Treaty
at the option of the Chinese Government to adopt what means appear to it best suited
to protect its revenue accruing on British trade, it is agreed that one uniform system
shall be enforced at every port.
The high officer appointed by the Chinese Government to superintend foreign
trade will, accordingly from time to time, either himself visit or will send a deputy
to visit the different ports. The said high officer will be at liberty, of his own choice,
and independently of the suggestion or nomination of any British authority, to select
any British subject he may see fit to aid him in the administration of the Customs
Revenue, in the prevention of smuggling, in the definition of port boundaries, or in
discharging the duties of harbour master; also in the distribution of lights, buoys,
beacons, and the like, the maintenance of which shall be provided for out of the
•tonnage dues.
The Chinese Government will adopt what measures it shall find requisite to
prevent smuggling upon the Yang-tsze-kiang, when that river shall be opened to
-trade.

to enter into engagements with British subjects, and to ship themselves and their
families on board of British vessels at the open ports of China in conformity with
Regulations to be drawn up between the two Governments for the protection of such
emigrants:
And whereas the aforesaid Regulations have not hitherto been framed, His-
Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the
British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, and His Majesty the Emperor
of China have accordingly appointed the following as their respective Plenipo-
tentiaries, that is to say :

And the said Plenipotentiaries having met and communicated to each other their
respective full powers, and found them in good and due form, have agreed upon and
concluded the following Articles :—
Art. I.—As the Regulations to be framed under the above-mentioned Treaty
were intended to be of a general character, it is hereby agreed that on each occasion
when indentured emigrants are required for a particular British Colony or Protectorate
beyond the seas, His Britannic Majesty’s Minister in Peking shall notify the Chinese-
Government, stating the name of the Treaty port at which it is intended to embark
them, and the terms and conditions on which they aie to be engaged; the Chinese
Government shall thereupon, without requiring further formalities, immediately
instruct the local authorities at the specified Treaty port to take all the steps
necessary to facilitate emigration. The notification herein referred to shall only be-
required once in the case of each Colony or Protectorate, except when emigration
under indenture to that Colony or Protectorate from the specified Treaty port has
not taken place during the preceding three years.
£8 EMIGRATION OONVENTION
Art. II.—On the receipt of the instructions above referred to, the Taotai at the
port shall at once appoint an officer, to be called the Chinese Inspector; who,
together with the British Consular Officer at the port, or his Delegate, shall make
known by Proclamation and by means of the native press the text of the Indenture
which the emigrant wi 11 have to sign, and any particulars of which the Chinese officer
considers it essential that the emigrant shall be informed, respecting the country to
which the emigrant is to proceed, and respecting its laws.
Art. III.—The British Consular officer at the port, or his Delegate, shall confer
with the Chinese Inspector as to the location and installation of the offices and other

-that:—
“ For the better protection of the emigrant and of any other Chinese subject

a Consul or Vice-Consul to watch over their interests and well-being, and such
Consul or Vice-Consul shall have all the rights and privileges accorded to the Consul

His Majesty’s Government consider it specially important that the persons
appointed to occupy, for the purpose named, the position of Consul or Vice-Consul
-should be experienced officers of Chinese nationality, that they should be exclusively
in the service of the Emperor of China, and that in each case the name of the person
-selected should be communicated to His Majesty’s Government, and their agreement

I have the honour to inquire whether the Chinese Government are prepared to
meet the wishes of His Majesty’s Government in the matter. If so, and if you will
inform me accordingly, this note and your reply might be attached to the Convention
in order to place on formal record the arrangement conclude 1.—I have, &c.

Sir C. Scott to Count Mouravieff
In order to complete the Notes exchanged this day respecting the partition of
•spheres for concessions for the construction and working of railways in China, it
has been agreed to record in the present additional Note the arrangement arrived
at with regard to the line Shanhaikuan-Newchwang, for the construction of which
a loan has been already contracted by the Chinese Government with the Shanghai-
Hongkong Bank, acting on behalf of the British and Chinese Corporation.
The general arrangement established by the above-mentioned Notes is not to
infringe in any wav the rights acquired under the said Loan Contract, and the
Chinese Government may appoint both an English engineer and an European
accountant to supervise the construction of the line in question, and the expenditure
of the money appropriated to it.
But it remains understood that this fact cannot be taken as constituting a
right of property or foreign control, and that the line in question is to remain a
^Chinese line, under the control of the Chinese Government, and cannot be mortgaged
or alienated to a non-Chinese Company.
As regards the branch line from Siaoheichan to Sinminting, in addition to the
aforesaid restrictions, it has been agreed that it is to be constructed by China her-
self, who may permit European—not necessarily British—engineers to periodically
inspect it, and to verify and certify that the work is being properly executed.
The present special Agreement is naturally not to interfere in any way with the
right of the Russian Government to support, if it thinks fit, applications of Russian
subjects or establishments for concessions for railways, which, starting from the
main Manchurian line in a south-westerly direction, would traverse the region in
which the Chinese line terminating at Sinminting and Newchwang is to be constructed.

Under the arrangement concluded between His Majesty’s Government and the
Chinese Government three years ago, His Majesty’s Government undertook that if
during the period of three years from January 1st, 1908, the Chinese Government
should duly carry out the arrangement on their part for reducing the production
and consumption of opium in China, they would continue in the same proportion of
ten per cent, the annual diminution of the export of opium from India, until the
completion of the full period of ten years in 1917.
His Majesty’s Government, recognizing the sincerity of the Chinese Govern-
ment, and their pronounced success in diminishing the production of opium in China
during the past three years, are prepared to continue the arrangement of 1907 for
the unexpired period of seven years on the following conditions:—
I. —From the first of January, 1911, China shall diminish ann
years the production of opium in China in the same proportion as the annual export
from India is diminished in accordance with the terms of Agreement and of the
Annex appended hereto until total extinction in 1917.
II. — The Chinese Government have adopted a most rigorous p
ing the production, the transport and the smoking of native opium, and His
Majesty’s Government have expressed their agreement therewith and willingness to
give every as-istance. With a view to facilitating the continuance of this work. His
Majesty’s Government agree that the export of opium from India to China shall
cease in less than seven years if clear proof is given of the complete absence of
native opium in China.

conveyed into any province in China which can establish by clear evidence that it
has effectively suppressed the cultivation and import of native opium.
It is understood, however, that the closing of the ports of Canton and Shanghai
to the import of Indian opium shall not take effect except as the final step on the
part of the Chinese Government for the completion of the above measure.
IV. —During the period of this Agreement it shall be p
Majesty’s Government to obtain continuous evidence of this diminution by local
enquiries and investigation conducted by one or more British officials accompanied,
if the Chinese Government so desire, by a Chinese official. Their decision as to the
extent of cultivation shall be accepted by both parties to this Agreement,
During the above period one or more British officials shall be given facilities for
reporting on the taxation and trade restrictions on opium away from the Treaty
ports.
. Y.—By the arrangement of 1907 His Majesty’s Government agreed to the
despatch by China of an official to India to watch the opium sales on condition that
such official would have no power of interference. His Majesty’s Government
further agree that the official so despatched may be present at the packing of opium
on the same condition.

grown in the Chinese Empire. His Majesty’s Government consent to increase the

equivalent excise tax on all native opium.

the new rate of consolidated import duty, China will at once cause to1 be withdrawn
all restrictions placed by the Provincial authorities on the wholesale trade in Indian
opium, such as those recently imposed at Canton and elsewhere, and. also all taxation

restrictions or taxation shall be again imposed so long as the- Additional Article to
the Chefoo Agreement remains as at present in force.

import duty shall be exempt from any further taxation whatsoever in the port of
import.

Agreement at any time.

the laws already published or hereafter to be published by the Imperial Chinese
G-overnment to suppress the smoking of opium and to regulate the retail trade in
the drug in general.
VIII. —With a view to assisting China in the
Majesty’s Government undertake that from the year 1911 the Government of India
will issue an export permit with a consecutive number for each chest of Indian
opium declared for shipment to or for consumption in China.
During the year 1911 the number of permits so issued shall not exceed 30,600
and shall be progressively reduced annually by 5,100 during the remaining six years
ending 1917.
A copy of each permit so issued shall, before shipment of opium declared for
shipment to or consumption in China, be handed to the Chinese official for trans-
mission to his Government, or to the Customs authorities in China.

permit has been granted shall be sealed by an official deputed by the Indian
Government in the presence of the Chinese official if so requested.

accompanied by such permits may be imported into any Treaty Port of China
without let or hindrance if such seals remain unbroken.

Ratifications Exchanged at Peking, 25th October, I860-
His Majesty the Emperor of the French and His Majesty the Emperor of China,,
being desirous to put an end to the existing misunderstanding between the two
Empires, and wishing to re-establish and improve the relations of friendship, com-
merce, and navigation between the two Powers, have resolved to conclude a new
Treaty based on the common interest of the two countries, and for that purpose have
named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:—
His Majesty the Emperor of the French, Baron Gros, Grand Officer of the Legion
of Honour, Grand Cross of the Order of the Saviour of Greece, Commander of the
Order of the Conception of Portugal, etc., etc., etc.
And His Majesty the Emperor of China, Kweiliang, Imperial High Commis-
sioner of the Ta-Tsing Dynasty, Grand Minister of the East Palace, Director-General
of the Council of Justice, etc., etc., etc.; andHwashana, Imperial High Commissioner
of the Ta-Tsing Dynasty, President of the Board of Finance, General of the Bordered
Blue Banner of the Chinese Banner Force, etc., etc., etc.;
Who, having exchanged their full powers, which they have found in good and
due form, have agreed upon the following Articles:—
Art. I.—There shall be perpetual peace and friendship between His Majesty the
Emperor of the French and His Majesty the Emperor of China, and between the
subjects of the two Empires, who shall enjoy equally in the respective States of the
high contracting parties full and entire protection for their persons and property.
Art. II.—In order to maintain the peace so happily re-established between the
two empires it has been agreed between the high contracting parties that, following
in this respect the practice amongst Western nations, the duly accredited diplomatic-
agents of His Majesty the Emperor of the French and of His Maj esty the Emperor of China
shall have the right of resorting to the capital of the empire when important affairs
call them there. It is agreed between the high contracting parties that if any one
of the Powers having a treaty with China obtains for its diplomatic agents the right
of permanently residing at Peking, France shall immediately enjoy the same right.
The diplomatic agents shall reciprocally enjoy, in the place of their residence,
the privileges and immunities accorded to them by international law,, that is to say,
that their persons, their families, their houses, and their correspondence, shall be
inviolable, that they may take into their service such employes, courier's, interpreters,
servants, etc., etc., as shall be necessary to them.
The expense of every kind occasioned by the diplomatic mission of France in
China shall be defrayed by the French Government. The diplomatic agents whom
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA 73
iit shall please the Emperor of China to accredit to His Majesty the Emperor of
the French, shall be received in France with all* the honours and prerogatives which
the diplomatic agents of other nations accredited to the Court of His Majesty the
Emperor of the French enjoy.
Art. III.—The official communications of the French diplomatic and consular
agents with the Chinese authorities shall he written in French, but shall be accom-
panied, to facilitate the service, by a Chinese translation, as exact as possible, until
such time as the Imperial Government at Peking, having interpreters speaking
and writing French correctly, diplomatic correspondence shall be conducted in this
language by the French agents and in Chinese by the officers of the Empire.
It is agreed that until then, and in case of difference in the interpretation, in
reference to the French text and Chinese text of the clauses heretofore agreed upon
in the conventions made by common accord, it shall always be the original text and
not the translation which shall be held correct. This provision applies to the
present Treaty, and in the communications between the authorities of the two
countries it shall always be the original text, not the translation, which shall be
held correct.
Art. IV.—Henceforth the official correspondence between the authorities and the
officers of the two countries shall be regulated according to their respective ranks and
conditions and upon the basis of the most absolute reciprocity. This correspondence
shall take place between the high French officers and high Chinese officers, in
the capital or elsewhere, by dispatch or communication; between the French sub-
ordinate officers and the high authorities in the provinces, on the part of the former
by statement, and on the part of the latter by declaration.
Between the officers of lower rank of the two nations, as above provided, bn
the footing of a perfect equality.
Merchants and generally all persons not having an official character shall on both
■sides use the form of representation in all documents addressed to or intended for the
notice of the respective authorities.
Whenever a French subject shall have recourse to the Chinese authority, his
representation shall first be submitted to the Consul, who, if it appears to him
reasonable and properly addressed, shall forward it; if it be otherwise, the Consul
shall cause the tenour to be modified or refuse to transmit it. The Chinese, on their
part, when they have to address a Consulate, shall follow a similar course towards
the Chinese authority, who shall act in the same manner.
Art. V.—His Majesty the Emperor of the French may appoint Consuls or Con-
sular Agents in the coast and river ports of the Chinese empire named in Article VI.
of the present Treaty to conduct the business between the Chinese authorities and
French merchants and subjects and to see to the strict observance of the stipulated
rules. These officers shall be treated with the consideration and regard which are
due to them. Their relations with the authorities of the place of their residence
shall be established on the footing of the most perfect equality. If they shall have
to complain of the proceedings of the said authorities, they may address the superior
authority of the province direct, and shall immediately advise the Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of the Emperor thereof.
In case of the absence of the French Consul, captains and merchants shall be
at liberty to have recourse to the intervention of the Consul of a friendly Power, or,
if this be impossible, they shall have recourse to the chief of the Customs, who shall
advise as to the means of assuring to the said captains and merchants the benefits of
the present Treaty.
Art. VI.—Experience having demonstrated that the opening of new ports to
foreign commerce is one of the necessities of the age, it has been agreed that the
forts of Kiung-chow and Chao-chow in the province of Kwangtung, Taiwan and
Tamsui in the island of Formosa (province of Fohkien), Tang-chow in the pro-
vince of Shantung, and Nanking in the province of Kiangsu, shall enjoy the same
privileges as Canton, Shanghai, Ningpo, Amoy, and Foochow. With regard to
74 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
Nanking, the French agents in China shall not deliver passports to their nationals
for this city until the rebels have been expelled by the Imperial troops.
Art. VII.—French subjects and their families may establish themselves and
trade or pursue their avocations in all security, and without hindrance of any kind
in the ports and cities enumerated in the preceding Article.
They may travel freely between them if they are provided with passports, but
it is expressly forbidden to them to trade elsewhere on the coast in search of
clandestine markets, under pain of confiscation of both the ships and goods used in
such operations, and this confiscation shall be for the benefit of the Chinese G-overn-
ment, who, however, before the seizure and confiscation can be legally pronounced,
must advise the French Consul at the nearest port.
Art. VIII.—French subjects who wish to go to interior towns, or ports not open
to foreign vessels, may do so in all security, on the express condition that they are
provided with passports written in French and Chinese, legally delivered by the
diplomatic agents or Consuls of France in China and vised by the Chinese authorities..
In case of the loss of his passport, the French subject who cannot present it
when it is legally required of him shall, if the Chinese authorities of the place refuse
him permission to remain a sufficient time to obtain another passport from the
Consul, be conducted to the nearest Consulate and shall not be maltreated or insulted
in any way.
As is stipulated in the former Treaties, French subjects resident or sojourning
in the ports open to foreign trade may travel without passports in their immediate
neighbourhood and there pursue their occupations as freely as the natives, but they
must not pass certain limits which shall be agreed upon between the Consul and the
local authority. The French agents in China shall deliver passports to their
nationals only for the places where the rebels are not established at the time the
passport shall be demanded.
These passports shall be delivered by the French authorities only to persons
who offer every desirable guarantee.
Art. IX.—All changes made by common consent with one of the signatory Powers
of the treaties with China on the subject of amelioration of the tariff now in force, or
which may hereafter be in force, as also all rights of customs, tonnage, importation,
transit, and exportation, shall be immediately applicable to French trade and mer-
chants by the mere fact of their being placed in execution.
Art. X.—Any French subject who, conformably to the stipulations of Article
VI. of the present Treaty, shall arrive at one of the ports open to foreign trade, may,
whatever may be the length of his sojourn, rent houses and warehouses for the
disposal of his merchandise, or lease land and himself build houses and warehouses.
French subjects may, in the same manner, establish churches, hospitals, religious
houses, schools, and cemeteries. To this end the local authority, after having
agreed with the Consul, shall designate the quarters most suitable for the residence
of the French and the sites on which the above-mentioned structures may have
place.
The terms of rents and leases shall be freely discussed between the interested
parties and regulated, as far as possible, according to the average local rates.
The Chinese authorities shall prevent their nationals from exacting or requiring
exorbitant prices, and the Consul on his side shall see that French subjects use no
violence or constraint to force the consent of the proprietors. It is further under-
stood that the number of houses and the extent of the ground to be assigned to
French subjects in the ports open to foreign trade shall not be limited, and that they
shall be determined according to the needs and convenience of the parties. If Chinese
subjects injure or destroy French churches or cemeteries, the guilty parties shall be
punished with all the rigour of the laws of the country.
Art. XI.—French subjects in the ports open to foreign trade may freely engage,
on the terms agreed upon between the parties, or by the sole intervention of the
Consul, compradores, interpreters, clerks, workmen, watermen, and servants. They
shall also have the right of engaging teachers in order to learn to speak and write
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
the Chinese language and any other language or dialect used in the empire,
as also to secure their aid in scientific or literary works. Equally they may teach to
Chinese subjects their own or foreign languages and sell without obstacle French
books or themselves purchase Chinese books of all descriptions.
Art. XII.—Property of any kind appertaining to French subjects in the Chinese
empire shall be considered by the Chinese inviolable and shall always be respected
by them. The Chinese authorities shall not, under any circumstances whatever,
place French vessels under embargo nor put them under requisition for any service,
be it public or private.
Art. XIII.—The Christian religion having for its essential object the leading of
men to virtue, the members of all Christian communities shall enjoy entire security
for their persons and property and the free exercise of their religion, and efficient
protection shall be given the missionaries who travel peaceably in the interior
furnished with passports as provided for in Article VIII.
Xo hindrance shall be offered by the authorities of the Chinese Empire to the
recognised right of every individual in China to embrace, if he so pleases, Chris-
tianity, and to follow its practices without being liable to any punishment therefor.
All that has previously been written, proclaimed, or published in China by
order of the Government against the Christian religion is completely abrogated and
remains null and void in all provinces of the empire.
Art. XIV.—Xo privileged commercial society shall henceforward be established
in China, and the same shall apply to any organised coalition having for its end the
exercise of a monopoly of trade. In case of the contravention of the present article
the Chinese Authorities, on the representations of the Consul or Consular Agent,
shall advise as to the means of dissolving such associations, of which they are also
bound to prevent the existence by the preceding prohibitions, so as to remove all that
may stand in the way of free competition.
Art. XV,—When a French vessel arrives in the waters of one of the ports open
to foreign trade she shall be at liberty to engage any pilot to take her immediately
into the port, and, in the same manner, when, having discharged all legal charges
she shall be ready to put to sea, she shall not be refused pilots to enable her to
leave the port without hindrance or delay.
Any individual who wishes to exercise the profession of pilot for French vessels
may, on the presentation of three certificates from captains of ships, be commissioned
by the French Consul in the same manner as shall be in use with other nations.
The remuneration payable to pilots shall be equitably regulated for each parti-
cular port by the Consul or Consular Agent, who shall fix it, having regard to the
distance and circumstances of the navigation.
Art. XVI.—After the pilot has brought a French trading ship into the port,
the Superintendent of Customs shall depute one or two officers to guard the ship and
prevent fraud. These officers may, according to their convenience, remain in their
own boat or stay on board the ship.
Their pay, food, and expenses shall be a charge on the Chinese Customs, and
they shall not demand any fee or remuneration whatever from the captain or consignee.
Every contravention of this provision shall entail a punishment proportionate to the
amount exacted, which also shall be returned in full.
Art. XVII.—Within the twenty-four hours following the arrival of a French
merchant vessel in one of the ports open to foreign trade, the captain, if he be not
unavoidably prevented, and in his default the supercargo or consignee, shall report
at the French Consulate and place in the hands of the Consul the ship’s papers, the
bills of lading, and the manifest. Within the twenty-four hours next following the
Consul shall send to the Superintendent of Customs a detailed note indicating the
name of the vessel, the articles, the tonnage, and the nature of the cargo; if, in
consequence of the negligence of the captain this cannot be accomplished within the
forty-eight hours following the arrival of the vessel, the captain shall be liable to a
penalty of 50 Dollars for each day’s delay, to the profit of the Chinese Government,
but the said penalty shall in no case exceed the sum of 200 Dollars.
76 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
Immediately after the reception of the consular note the Superintendent of
Customs shall give a permit to open hatches. If the captain, before having received
the said permit, shall have opened hatches and commenced to discharge, be may
be fined 500 Dollars, and the goods discharged may he seized, the whole to the profit
of the Chinese Grovernment.
Art. XVIII.—French captains and merchants may hire whatever boats and
lighters they please for the transport of goods and passengers, and the sum to be
paid for such boats shall be settled between the parties themselves, without the
intervention of the Chinese authority, and consequently without its guarantee in case
of accident, fraud, or disappearance of the said boats. The number of these boats
shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly in respect either of the boats or of the
carriage of merchandise by porters be granted to any one.
Art. XIX.—Whenever a French merchant shall have merchandise to load or
discharge he shall first remit a detailed note of it to the Consul or Consular Agent,
who will immediately charge a recognised interpreter to the Consulate to communicate
it to the Superintendent of Customs. The latter shall at once deliver a permit for
shipping or landing the goods. He will then proceed to the verification of the goods
in such manner that there shall be no chance of loss to any party.
The French merchant must cause himself to be represented (if he does not prefer
to attend himself) at the place of the verification by a person possessing the requisite
knowledge to protect his interest at the time when the verification for the liquida-
tion of the dues is made; otherwise any after claim will be null and of no effect.
With respect to goods subject to an ad valorem duty, if the merchant cannot
agree with the Chinese officers as to their value, then each party shall call in two or
three merchants to examine the goods, and the highest price which shall be offered
by any of them shall be assumed as the value of the said goods.
Duties shall be charged on the net weight; the tare will therefore be deducted.
If the French merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer on the amount
of tare, each party shall choose a certain number of chests and bales from among the
goods respecting which there is a dispute; these shall be first weighed gross, then
fared and the average tare of these shall be taken as the tare for all the others.
If during the course of verification any difficulty arises which cannot be settled,
the French merchant may claim the intervention of the Consul, who will immediately
bring the subject of dispute to the notice of the Superintendent of Customs, and both
will endeavour to arrive at an amicable arrangement, but the claim must be made
within twenty-four hours; otherwise it will not receive attention. So long as the
result of the dispute remains pending, the Superintendent of Customs shall not enter
the matter in his boobs, thus leaving every latitude for the examination and solution
of the difficulty.
On goods imported which have sustained damage a reduction of duties propor-
tionate to their depreciation shall be made. This shall be equitably determined, and,
if necessary, in the manner above stipulated for the fixing of ad valorem duties.
Art. XX.—Any vessel having entered one of the ports of China, and which has
not yet used the permit to open hatches mentioned in Article XIX., may within two
days of arrival quit that port and proceed to another without having to pay either
tonnage dues or Customs duties, but will discharge them ultimately in the port where
sale of the goods is effected.
Art. XXI,—It is established by common consent that import duties shall be
discharged by the captains or French merchants after the landing and verification
of the goods. Export duties shall in the same manner be paid on the shipment of
the goods. When all tonnage dues and Customs duties shall have been paid in full
by a French vessel the Superintenent of Customs shall give a general aquittance, on
the exhibition of which the Consul shall return the ship’s papers to the captain and
pennit him to depart on his voyage. The Superintendent of Customs shall name
one or several banks, which shall be authorised to receive the sum due by French
merchants on account of the Government, and the receipts of these banks for all
payments which have been made to them shall be considered as receipts of the
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA 7T
Chinese Government. These payments may be made in ingots or foreign moneyr
the relative value of which to sycee shall be determined by agreement between the
Consul or Consular Agent and the Superintendent of Customs in the different ports,
according to time, place, and circumstances.
Art. XXII.—*After the expiration of the two days named in Art. XX., and
before proceeding to discharge her cargo, every vessel shall pay tonnage-dues accord-
ing to the following scale :—Vessels of one hundred and fifty tons and upwards at
the rate of four mace per ton; vessels of less than one hundred and fifty tons mea-
surement at the rate of one mace per ton.
Any vessel clearing from any of the open ports of China for any other of the
open ports, or trading between China and such ports in Cochin-China as belong to
France, or any port in Japan, shall be entitled, on application of the master, to
a special certificate from the Superintendent of Customs, on exhibition of which
the said vessel shall be exempted from all further payment of tonnage-dues in any
open port of China for a period of four months, to be reckoned from the date of
her port-clearance ; but after the expiration of four months she shall be required to
pay tonnage-dues again.
Small French vessels and boats of every class, whether with or without sails,,
shall be reckoned as coming within the category of vessels of one hundred and fifty
tons and under, and shall pay tonnage-dues at the rate of one mace per ton once in
every four months.
Native craft chartered by French merchants shall in like manner pay tonnage-
dues once in every four months.
Art. XXIII.*—All French goods, after having discharged the Customs duties
according to the tariff in one ot the ports of China, may be transported into the interior
without being subjected to any fui'ther charge except the transit dues according to
the amended scale now in force, which dues shall not be augmented in the future.
If the Chinese Customs Agents, contrary to the tenour of the present Treaty,
make illegal exactions or levy higher dues, they shall be punished according to the
laws of the empire.
Art. XXIV.—Any French vessel entered at one of the ports open to foreign
trade and wishing to discharge only a part of its goods there, shall pay Customs dues
only for the part discharged; it may transport the remainder of its cargo to another
port and sell it there. The duty shall then be paid.
French subjects having paid in one port the duties on their goods, wishing to
re-export them and send them for sale to another port, shall notify the Consul or
Consular Agent. The latter shall inform the Superintendent of Customs, who, after
having verified the identity of the goods and the perfect integrity of the packages,
shall send to the claimants a declaration attesting that the duties on the said goods
have been paid. Provided with this declaration, the French merchants on their
arrival at the other port shall only have to present it through the medium of the
Consul or Superintendent of Customs, who will deliver for this part of the cargo,
without deduction or charge, a permit for discharge free of duty ; but if the autho-
I rities discover fraud or anything contraband amongst the goods re-exported, these
shall be, after verification, confiscated to the profit of the Chinese Government.
Art. XXV.—Transhipment of goods shall take place only by special permission
and in case of urgency; if it be indispensable to effect this operation, the Consul
shall be referred to, who will deliver a certificate, on view of which the transhipment
shall be authorised by the Superintendent of Customs. The latter may always
delegate an employe of his administration to be present.
Every unauthorised transhipment, except in case of peril by delay, will entail
the confiscation, to the profit of the Chinese Government, of the whole of the goods
illicitly transhipped.
Art. XXVI.—In each of the ports open to foreign trade the Superintendent of
Customs shall receive for himself, and shall deposit at the French Consulate, legal
Substituted for the
78 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
•scales for goods and silver, the weights and measures agreeing exactly with the
weights and measures in use at the Canton Custom-house, and hearing a stamp and
seal certifying this authority. These scales shall he the base of all liquidations ol
•duties and of all payments to be made to the Chinese Government. They shall he
referred to in case of dispute as to the weights and measures of goods, and the decree
shall be according to the results they show.
Art. XXVII.—Import and export duties levied in China on French commerce
shall be regulated according to the tariff annexed to the present Treaty under the
seal and signature of the respective Plenipotentiaries. This tariff may be revised
every seven years in order to he in harmony with the changes brought about by time
in the value of the products of the soil or industry of the two empires.
By the payment of these duties, the amount of which it is expressly provided
shall not be increased nor augmented by any kind of charge or surtax whatever,
French subjects shall be free to import into China, from French or foreign ports, and
equally to export from China, to any destination, all goods which shall not be, at the
date of the signing of the present Treaty and according to the classification of the
annexed tariff, the object of a special prohibition or of a special monopoly. The
Chinese Government renouncing therefore the right of augmenting the number of
articles reputed contraband or subjects of a monopoly, any modification of the
tariff shall be made only after an understanding has been come to with the French
Government and with its full and entire consent.
With regard to the tariff, as well as every stipulation introduced or to be in-
troduced in the existing Treaties, or those which may hereafter be concluded, it
remains well and duly established that merchants and in general all French subjects
in China shall always have the same rights and be treated in the same way as the
most favoured nation.
Art. XXVIII.—The publication of the regular tariff doing away henceforth with
all pretext for smuggling, it is not to be presumed that any act of this nature may
be committed by French vessels in the ports of China. If it should be otherwise,
all contraband goods introduced into these ports by French vessels or merchants
whatever their value or nature, as also all prohibited goods fraudulently discharged,
shall be seized by the local authority and confiscated to the profit of the Chinese
Government. Further, the latter may, if it see fit, interdict the re-entry to China of
the vessel taken in contravention and compel it to leave immediately after the settle-
ment of its accounts.
If any foreign vessel fraudulently makes use of the French flag the French
Government shall take the necessary measures for the repression of this abuse.
Art. X.5IX.—His Majesty the Emperor of the French may station a vessel of war
in any principal port of the empire where its presence may be considered necessary to
maintain good order and discipline amongst the crews of merchant vessels and to
facilitate the exercise of the Consular authority; all necessary measures shall be taken
to provide that the presence of these vessels of war shall entail no inconvenience, and
their commanders shall receive orders to cause to be executed the provisions of
Article XXXIII. in respect of the communications with the land and the policing
of the crews. Vessels of war shall be subject to no duty.
Art. XXX.—Every French vessel of war cruising for the protection of commerce
shall be received as a friend and treated as such in all the ports of China which it
shall enter. These vessels may there procure the divers articles of refitting and
victualling of which they shall have need, and, if they have suffered damage, may
repair there and purchase the materials necessary for such repair, the whole without
the least opposition.
The same shall apply to French trading ships which in consequence of great
damage or any other reason may be compelled to seek refuge in anv port whatsoever
of China.
If a vessel be wrecked on the coast of China, the nearest Chinese authority, on
being informed of the occurrence, shall immediately send assistance to the crew,
provide for their present necessities, and take the measures immediately necessary

for the salvage of the shif> and the preservation of the cargo. The whole shall then
be brought to the knowledge of the nearest Consul or Consular Agent, in order that
the latter, in concert with the competent authority, may provide means for the
relief of the crew and the salvage of the debris of the ship and cargo.
Art. XXXI.—Should China be at war with another Power, this circumstance
shall not in any way interfere with the free trade of France with China or with the
opposing nation. French vessels may always, except in the case of effective blockade,
sail without obstacle from the ports of the one to the ports of the other, trade in the
ordinary manner, and import and export every kind of merchandise hot prohibited.
Art. XXXII.—Should sailors or other persons desert from French ships-of-war,
or leave French trading vessels, the Chinese authority, on the requisition of the
Consul, or failing the Consul that of the captain, shall at once use every means to
discover and restore the aforesaid fugitives into the hands of one or the other of them.
In the same manner, if Chinese deserters or persons accused of any crime take
refuge in French houses or on board of French vessels, the local authority shall
address the Consul, who, on proof of the guilt of the accused, shall immediately take
the measures necessary for their extradition. Each party shall carefully "avoid
concealment and connivance.
Art. XXXIII.—When sailors come on shore they shall be under special dis-
ciplinary regulations framed by the Consul and communicated to the local authority,
in order to prevent as far as possible all occasion of quarrel between French sailors
and the people of the country.
Art. XXXIV.—In case of French trading vessels being attacked or pillaged by
pirates within Chinese waters, the civil and military authorities of the nearest place,
upon learning of the occurrence, shall actively pursue the authors of the crime and
shall neglect nothing to secure their arrest and punishment according to law. The
pirated goods, in whatever place or state they may be found, shall be placed in the
hands of the Consul, who shall restore them to the owners. If the criminals cannot
be seized, or the whole of the stolen property cannot be recovered, the Chinese officials
shall suffer the penalty inflicted by the law in such circumstances, but they shall not
be held pecuniarily responsible.
Art. XXXV.—When a French subject shall have a complaint to make or claim
to bring against a Chinese, he shall first state his case to the Consul, who, after
having examined the affair, will endeavour to arrange it amicably. In the same
manner, when a Chinese has to complain of a French subject, the Consul shall
attentively hear his claim and endeavour to bring about an amicable arrangement.
But if in either case this be impossible, the Consul shall invoke the assistance of a
competent Chinese official, and these two, after having conjointly examined the affair
shall decide it equitably.
Art. XXXVI.—If hereafter French subjects suffer damage, or are subjected
to any ’ insult or vexation by Chinese subjects, the latter shall be pursued by the
local authority, who shall take the necessary measures for the defence and pro-
tection of French subjects ; if ill-doers or any vagrant part of the population com-
mence to pillage, destroy, or burn the houses or warehouses of French subjects or
any other of their establishments, the same authority, either on the requisition of the
Consul or of its own motion, shall send as speedily as possible an armed force to
disperse the riot and to arrest the criminals, and shall deliver the latter up to the
severity of the law; the whole without prejudice of the claims of the French subjects
to be indemnified for proved losses.
Art. XXXVII.—If Chinese become, in future, indebted to French captains or
merchants and involve them in loss by fraud or in any other manner, the latter shall
no longer avail themselves of the combination which existed under the former state
of things; they may address themselves only through the medium of their Consul to
the local authority, who shall neglect nothing after having examined the affair to
compel the defaulters to satisfy their engagements according to the laws of the
country. But, if the debtor cannot be found, if he be dead, or bankrupt, and is not
able to pay, the French merchants cannot claim against the Chinese authority.
*0 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
Id case of fraud or non-payment on the part of French merchants, the Consul
shall, in the same manner, afford every assistance to the claimants, but neither he
nor his Government shall in any manner be held responsible.
Art. XXXVIII.—If unfortunately any fight or quarrel occurs between French
And Chinese subjects, as also if during the course of such quarrel one or more persons
be killed or wounded, by firearms or otherwise, the Chinese shall be arrested by the
•Chinese authority, who will be responsible, if the charge be proved, for their punish-
ment according to the laws of the country. With regard to the French, they shall
be arrested at the instance of the Consul, who shall take the necessary measures that
they may be dealt with in the ordinary course of French law in accordance with the
-forms and practice which shall be afterwards decided by the French. Government.
The same course shall be observed in all similar circumstances not enumerated
in the present convention, the principle being that for the repression of crimes and
offences committed by them in China French subjects shall be dealt with according
to the laws of France.

shall, equally, be settled by the French authorities. It is also stipulated that the

captain.
Art. XL.—If the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of the French shall
consider it desirable to modify any of the clauses of the present Treaty it shall lie at
liberty to open negotiations to this effect with the Chinese Government after an
interval of ten years from the date of the exchange of the ratifications. It is also
-understood that no obligation not expressed in the present convention shall be
imposed on the Consuls or Consular Agents, nor on their nationals, but, as is
stipulated, French subjects shall enjoy all the rights, .privileges, immunities, and
guarantees whatsoever which have been or shall be accorded by the Chinese Govern-
ment to other Powers.
Art. XLI.—His Majesty the Emperor of the French, wishing to give to His
Majesty the Emperor of China a proof of his friendly sentiments, agrees to stipulate
in separate Articles, having the same force and effect as if they were inserted in the
present Treaty, the arrangements come to between the two Governments on the
matters antecedent to the events at Canton and the expense caused by them to the
Government of His Majesty the Emperor of the French.
Art. XLII.—The ratifications of the present Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and
Navigation shall be exchanged at Peking within one year after the date of signature,

capital, in order that its publication may be well established.
In token whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Treaty
and affixed their seals thereto.

Chinese Authorities in order that he may without obstacle fulfil the high mission
confided to him.
Art. III.—The Treaty signed at Tientsin on the 27th June, 1858, shall be faith-
fully placed in execution in all its clauses immediately after the exchange of the
i ratifications referred to in the preceding Article, subject to the modifications introduced

It is agreed that the sum already paid bv the Canton Customs on account of the
sum of two million Taels stipulated by the Treaty of Tientsin shall be considered as
having been paid in advance and on account of the eight million Taels referred to in
• the present Article.

Art. V.—The sum of eight million Taels is allowed to the French Government to
liquidate the expenses of its armament against China, as also for the indemnification

Peking shall retire to Tientsin, to Taku, to the north coast of Shantung, or to
the town of Canton, and that in all these places or in any of them the French
Government may, if it thinks fit, leave troops until such time as the total sum of

each animated by an equal desire to bring to an end the difficulties which have
:,given rise to their simultaneous intervention in the affairs of Annam, and wishing to
-re-establish and improve the relations of friendship and commerce which previously
existed between France and China, have resolved to conclude a new Treaty to further
-the common interest of both nations on the basis of the preliminary Convention

Director of the Board of Ceremonies ;
Who, having communicated their full powers, which have been found in good
and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles:—
Art. I.—France engages to re-establish and maintain order in those provinces of
Annam which border upon the Chinese empire. For this purpose she will take the
necessary measures to disperse or expel the bands of pirates and vagabonds who
endanger the public safety, and to prevent their collecting together again. Nevertheless,
- the French troops shall not, under any circumstances, cross the frontier which separates
84 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
Tonkin from China, which frontier France promises both to respect herself and to
guarantee against any aggression whatsoever.
On her part China undertakes to disperse or expel such bands as may take refuge
in her provinces bordering on Tonkin and to disperse those which it may be attempted
to form there for the purpose of causing disturbances amongst the populations placed
under the protection of France ; and, in consideration of the guarantees which have
been given as to the security of the frontier, she likewise engages not to send troops
into Tonkin.
The high contracting parties will fix, by a special convention, the conditions under
which the extradition of malefactors between China and Annam shall be carried out.
The Chinese, whether colonists or disbanded soldiers, who reside peaceably in
Annam, supporting themselves by agriculture, industry, or trade, and whose conduct
shall give no cause of complaint, shall enjoy the same security for their persons and
property as French proteges.
Art. II.—China, being resolved to do nothing which may imperil the work of
pacification undertaken by France, engages to respect, both in the present and in
the future, the Treaties, Conventions, and Arrangements concluded directly between
France and Annam, or which may hereafter be concluded.
As regards the relations between China and Annam, it is understood they shall
be of such a nature as shall in no way injure the dignity of the Chinese empire or
give rise to any violation of the present Treaty.
Art. III.—Within a period of six months from the signature of the present
Treaty commissioners appointed by the high contracting parties shall proceed to the
spot in order to define the frontier between China and Tonkin. They shall place
landmarks wherever necessary to render the line of demarcation clear. In those
cases where they may not be able to agree as to the location of these landmarks or on
such rectifications of detail as it may be desirable to make, in the interest of the two-
nations, in the existing frontier of Tonkin, they shall refer the difficulty to their
respective Governments.
Art. IV.—When the fi’ontier shall have been agreed upon, French or French
proteges and foreign residents of Tonkin who may wish to cross it in order to enter
China shall not be allowed to do so unless they shall have previously provided them-
selves with passports issued by the Chinese frontier authorities on the requisition of
the French authorities. For Chinese subjects an authorisation given by the Imperial
frontier authorities shall be sufficient.
Chinese subjects wishing to proceed from China to Tonkin by the land route
shall be obliged to provide themselves with regular passports, issued by the French
authorities on the requisition of the Imperial authorities.
Art. V.—Import and export trade shall be permitted to French or French-
protected traders and to Chinese traders across the land frontier between China and
Tonkin. It shall, however, be carried on through certain spots which shall be
settled later, and both the selection and number of which shall correspond with the
direction and importance of the traffic between the two countries. In this respect
the Regulations in force in the interior of the Chinese Empire shall be taken into
account.
In any case, two of the said spots shall be marked out on the Chinese frontier,
the one above Lao-kai, the other beyond Lang-son. French traders shall be at
liberty to settle there under the same conditions, and with the same advantages, as
in the ports open to foreign ti’ade. The Government of His Majesty the Emperor of
China shall establish Custom-houses there, and the Government of the French Republic
shall be at liberty to maintain Consuls there whose powers and privileges shall be
identical with those of Agents of the same rank in the open ports.
On his part, His Majesty the Emperor of China shall be at liberty, with the
concurrence of the French Government, to appoint Consuls in the principal towns of
TEE ATT BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA 85
Art. VI.—A special code of Regulations, annexed to the present Treaty, shall
define the conditions under which trade shall be carried on by land between Tonkin
and the Chinese provinces of Yunnan, of Kwang-si, and of Kwang-tung. Such
Regulations shall be drawn up by Commissioners, who shall be appointed by the
high contracting parties, within three months from the signature of the present
Treaty.
All goods dealt with by such trade shall be subject, on import and. export
between Tonkin and the provinces of Yunnan and Kwang-si, to duties lower than,
those laid down by the present tariff for foreign trade. The reduced tariff shall
not, however, be applied to goods transported by way of the land frontier between
Tonkin and Kwang-tung, and shall not be enforced within the ports already open
by Treaty.
Trade in arms, engines, supplies, and munitions of war of any kind whatsoever
shall be subject to the Laws and Regulations issued by each of the contracting
States within its own territory.
The export and import of opium shall be governed by special arrangements to
be inserted in the above-mentioned code of Regulations.
Trade by sea between China and Annam shall likewise be dealt with by a separate
code of Regulations. In the meanwhile, the present practice shall remain unaltered.
Art. VII.—With a view to develop under the most advantageous conditions the
relations of commerce and of good neighbourship, which it is the object of the present
Treaty to re-establish between France and China, the Government of the Republic
shall construct roads in Tonkin, and shall encourage the construction of railways
there.
When China, on her part, shall have decided to construct railways, it is agreed
that she shall have recourse to French industry, and the Government of the Republic
shall afford every facility for procuring in France the staff that may be required. It
is, moreover, understood that this clause shall not be looked upon as constituting an
exclusive privilege in favour of France.
Art. VIII.—The commercial stipulations of the present Treaty and the Regula-
tions to be agreed upon shall be liable to revision after an interval of ten complete
years from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty. But
in case six months before it expires neither one nor other of the high contracting
parties shall have expressed a wish to proceed to a revision, the commercial stipula-
tions shall remain in force for a fresh period of ten years, and so further in like
manner.
Art. IX.—As soon as the present Treaty shall have been signed, the French
forces shall receive orders to retire from Keelung and to cease search, &c., on the high
seas. Within one month from the signature of the pi'esent Treaty the Island of
Formosa and Pescadores shall be entirely evacuated by the French troops.
Art. X.—All stipulations of former Treaties, Agreements, and Conventions
between France and China, which are not modified by the present Treaty, remain in
full force.
The present Treaty shall be ratified at once by His Majesty the Emperor of China,
and after it shall have been ratified by the President of the French Republic the
exchange of ratifications shall take place at Peking with the least possible delay.
Done in quadruplicate at Tientsin, this ninth day of June, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-five, corresponding to the twenty-seventh day of the fourth moon

way be furnished with passports granted by the French authorities on the requisition

transport of merchandise.

the right to arrest persons who have crossed the frontier without passports and send

Such of this merchandise as shall have been bought in the interior by a merchant
furnished with a transit pass, and which consequently has not paid any lehin
or barrier duty, shall in the first place pay the transit duty fixed by the general
tariff of the Chinese Maritime Customs.
It shall then pay the export duty, diminished by one-third. Articles not named
in the tariff will remain subject to the duty of 5 per cent, ad valorem.
After payment of these duties the merchandise will be allowed to pass free, and
to be sent beyond the frontier.
The merchant who, not being furnished with a transit pass, has bought goods
in the interior, shall pay the duties levied at the barriers and lekin stations; receipts
shall be delivered to him, and on arriving at the Custom-house he shall be exempted
from payment of the transit dues on presentation of these receipts.
French merchants and persons under French protection importing or exporting
merchandise through the Customs offices on the frontiers of Yunnan and Kwangsi,
and Chinese merchants importing or exporting merchandise to or from Tonkin,
will not have to pay any toll on their carriages or beasts of burden. On the navigable
water-courses on the frontier, vessels may, on the one side and the other, be subjected
to the payment of tonnage-dues, conformably to the rules of the Maritime Customs
of the two countries.
As regards the provisions of the present Article and the preceding one, it is
agreed by the high contracting parties that if a new Customs tariff should be
established by common accord between China and a third Power, for trade by land
on the south-western frontiers of the Chinese Empire, France shall obtain the
application of it.
Art. VIII.—Foreign merchandise which, not having been sold within a period
of thirty-six months after having paid the import duty at one of the Chinese frontier
Customs stations, is forwarded to the other frontier Customs station, shall be
examined at the first of these stations, and if the wrappings are found intact, and
rf nothing has been disturbed or changed, a certificate of exemption for the amount
of the first duty collected will be given. The bearer of this certificate will deliver it
to the other frontier station,, in payment of the new duty which he will have to pay.
The Customs may in like manner give bonds which will be available for payment of
duties at the Custom-house by which they are issued any time within three years.
Money will never be returned.

Art. IX.—-Chinese merchandise which, after having paid transit and export dues
at one of the frontier Customs stations, may be sent to the other frontier Customs-
station to be sold, shall be subjected on its arrival at the second station only to a'
payment—called a re-importation duty—of one-half the export duty already collected.
The merchandise conformably to the rules established in the open ports may not be'
transported into the interior by foreign merchants.
If this Chinese merchandise be transported to one of the open ports of China, it
will be assimilated to foreign merchandise, and shall pay a new import duty in full,
conformably to the general tariff of the Imperial Maritime Customs.
This merchandise will be allowed to pay transit duty on being sent into the in--
terior. Chinese merchandise imported from a Chinese seaport into an Annamite port
in order to be transported to the land frontier and then to re-enter Chinese territory
will be treated as foreign merchandise and will pay the local import dues. This-
merchandise will be allowed to pay the transit duty on being sent into the interior.
Art. X.—Declarations to the Chinese Customs must be made within thirty-six
hours of the arrival of the goods under a penalty of Tls. 50 for each day’s delay; but
the fine shall not exceed Tls. 200. An inexact declaration of the quantity of the goods,
if it is proved that it has been made with the intention of evading payment of the
duties, will entail upon the merchant confiscation of his goods. Goods not provided
with a permit from the chief of the Customs, which are clandestinely introduced
by by-ways, and unpacked or sold, or which are intentionally smuggled, shall be-
entirely confiscated. In every case of false declaration or attempt to deceive the
Customs as regards the quality or the real origin or real destination of goods
'for which transit passes have been applied the goods shall be liable to con--
fiscation. The penalties shall be adjudged according to the conditions-and proce--
dure fixed by the Rules of 31st May, 1868. In all cases where confifecation shall
have been declared, the merchant shall be at liberty to recover his goods on payment-
of a sum equivalent to their value, to be duly settled by arrangement with'the Chinese
authorities. The Chinese authorities shall have every liberty to- devise measures to-
be taken in China, along the frontier, to prevent smuggling.
Merchandise descending or ascending navigable rivers in French, Annamite, or
Chinese vessels will not necessarily have to be landed at the frontier, unless there is-
an appearance of fraud, or a divergence between the nature of the cargo and the •
declaration of the manifest. The Customs will only send on board the said vessels-
agents to visit them.
Art. XI.—Produce of Chinese origin imported into Tonkin by the land frontier
shall pay the import duty of the Franco-Annamite tariff. They will pay no export"
duty on leaving Tonkin. The Imperial Government will be notified of the new
tariff which France will establish in Tonkin. If taxes of excise,-of consumption, or
of guarantee be established in Tonkin on any articles of indigenous production,
similar Chinese productions will be subjected, on importation.', to equivalent taxes.
Art. XII.—Chinese merchandise transported across Tonkin from one of the
two frontier Customs stations to the other, or to an Annamite port to be from thence
exported to China, shall be subjected to a specific transit duty which shall not exceed-
two per cent, of the value. At the point where' it leaves Chinese territory this
merchandise will be examined by the French Customs authorities on the frontier,
who will specify its nature, quantity, and destination in a certificate which shall be
produced whenever required by the French authorities during its transport across
Tonkin, as well as at the port of shipment.
In order to guarantee the Franco-Annamite Customs against any possible fraud,
such Chinese produce, on entering Tonkin, shall pay the import duty.
A transit permit will accompany the goods to the place of leaving the country,
whether this be the port of transhipment or the land frontier, and the sum paid by
the proprietor of the merchandise will, after deducting the transit dues, be then
restored to him in exchange for the receipt delivered to Mm by the Tonkin Customs,'-
.90 TRADE REGULATIONS FOR THE TONKIN FRONTIER
Every false declaration or act evidently intended to deceive the French admini-
stration as to the quality, quantity, real origin, or real destination of merchandise
.on which the special treatment applicable to Chinese products traversing Tonkin in
•transit is asked, will entail the confiscation of such merchandise. In every case
where confiscation has been declared, the merchant shall be free to recover his goods
on payment of a sum equivalent to their value, which shall be duly determined by
an arrangement with the French authorities. .
The same rules and the same transit duty will be applicable in Annam to Chinese
merchandise despatched from a Chinese port to an Annamite port in order to get to
the Chinese frontier Customs by crossing Tonkin.
Art. XIII.—The following articles, that is to say, gold and silver ingots, foreign
money, flour, Indian meal, sago, biscuits, preserved meats and vegetables, cheese,

kinds, charcoal, firewood, candles (foreign), tobacco, wine, beer, spirits, household
.stores, ship’s stores, personal baggage, stationery, carpeting, cutlery, drugs, foreign
medicines, and glassware, shall be verified by the Chinese Customs on their entry
.and clearance; if they are really of foreign origin and intended for the personal
use of foreigners, and if they arrive in moderate quantity, a duty exemption certificate
will be given which will pass them free at the frontier. If these articles are withheld
from declaration or the formality of an exemption certificate, their clandestine intro-
duction will render them subject to the same penalty as smuggled goods.
With the exception of gold, silver, money, and luggage, which will remain exempt
from duty, the above-mentioned articles destined for the personal use of foreigners
.and imported in moderate quantity, will pay, when they are transported into the
interior of China a duty of 2-2- per cent, on their value.
The Franco-Annamite frontier Customs shall collect no duty on the following
.articles of personal use which Chinese carry with them, either on entering or leaving
Tonkin, that is to say, money, luggage, clothes, women’s head ornaments, paper,
thair pencils, Chinese ink, furniture, or food, or on articles ordered by the Chinese
Consuls in Tonkin for their personal consumption.
Art. XIV.—The high contracting parties agree to prohibit trade in and trans-

import of these articles shall be free of duty.

jectiles, rifles and guns, saltpetre, sulphur, lead, spelter, arms, salt, and immoral
publications.
In case of contravention these articles shall be entirely confiscated.
If the Chinese authorities have arms or munitions bought or if merchants
receive express authority to buy them, the importation will be permitted under the
special surveillance of the Chinese Customs. The Chinese authorities may, further-
more, by arrangement with the French Consuls, obtain for the arms and munitions
which they wish to have conveyed to China through Tonkin exemption from all the
.Franco-Annamite duties.
The inti'oduction into Tonkin of arms, munitions of war, and immoral publica-
tions is also prohibited.
Art. XVI.—Chinese residing in Annam shall be placed under the same condi-
tions, with regard to criminal, fiscal, or other jurisdiction, as the subjects of the most
favoured nation. Law-suits which may arise in China, in the open markets on the
frontier, between Chinese subjects and Frenchmen or Annamites shall be decided in
:a Mixed Court by Chinese and French officers.
With reference to crimes or offences committed by Frenchmen or persons under

shall, at the request of the French authorities and on proof of their guilt, be arrested
and delivered up to the said authorities to be tried according to the regular process
of law.
On both sides all concealment and connivance shall be avoided.
Art. XVIII.—In any difficulty not provided for in the preceding provisions-
recourse shall be had to the rules of the Maritime Customs, which, in conformity
with existing Treaties, are now applied in the open towns or ports.
In case these rules are insufficient the representatives of the two countries
shall reier the matter to their respective Governments.

by the Chinese Customs authorities, and they shall not be entitled to any fees whatever
from the master or consignee. Every violation of this regulation shall be punished
proportionally to the amount exacted, which shall be returned in full.
Art. XIII.—Within twenty-four hours after the arrival of the ship, the-
master, unless he be prevented by lawful causes, or in his stead the supercargo or the-
consignee, shall lodge in the hands of the Consul the ship’s papers and copy of tlm
manifest.
Within a further period of twenty-four hours the Consul will report to the
Superintendent of Customs the name of the ship, the number of the crew, her
registered tonnage, and the nature of the cargo.
If owing to neglect on the part of the master the above rule be not complied
with within forty-eight hours after the ship’s arrival he shall be liable to a fine of
fifty Dollars for every day’s delay; the total amount of penalty, however, shall not
exceed two hundred Dollars.
Immediately after the receipt of the report, the Superintendent of Customs shall
issue a permit to open hatches.
If the master shall open hatches and begin to discharge the cargo without said)
permit, he shall be liable to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, and the goods
so discharged without permit shall be liable to confiscation.
Art. XIV.—Whenever a merchant, a subject of any of the contracting German
States, has cargo to land or ship, he must apply to the Superintendent of Customs for-
a special permit. Merchandise landed or shipped without such permit shall be subject
to forfeiture.
Art. XV.—The subjects of the contracting German States shall pay duties on
all goods imported or exported by them at the ports open to foreign trade according
to the tariff appended to this Treaty ; but in no case shall they be taxed with higher
duties than, at present or in future, subjects of the most favoured nations are liable to.
The commercial stipulations appended to this Treaty shall constitute an integral
part of the same, and shall therefore be considered binding upon both the high con-
tracting parties.
Art. XVI.—With respect to articles subject to an ad valorem duty, if the
German merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officers as to their value, then each
party shall call in two or three merchants to examine and appraise the goods, and
4
TKEATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND CHINA
the highest price at which any of these merchants may declare himself willing to
purchase them shall be assumed as the value of the goods.
Art. XVII.—Duties shall be charged upon the net weight ot each article; tare
■therefore to be deducted. If the German merchant cannot agree with the Chinese
officers on the exact amount of tare, then each party shall choose from among the
goods respecting which there is a difference a certain number of chests or bales,
which being first weighed gross, shall afterwards be tared and the tare fixed accord-
ingly. The average tare upon these chests or bales shall constitute the tare upon the
whole lot of packages.
Art. XVIII.—If in the courses of verification there arise other points of dispute,
which cannot be settled, the German merchant may appeal to his Consul, who will
communicate the particulars of the differences of the case to the Superintendent of
•Customs, and both will endeavour to bring about an amicable arrangement. But
the appeal to the Consul must be made within twenty-four hours, or it will not be
attended to.
As long as no settlement be come to, the Superintendent of Customs shall not
enter the matter at issue in his books, in order that a thorough investigation and the
final settlement of the difference be not prejudiced.
Art. XIX.—Should imported goods prove to be damaged, a fair reduction of
duty shall be allowed, in proportion to their deterioration. If any disputes arise,
they shall be settled in the same manner as agreed upon in Art. XVI. of this Treaty
having reference to articles which pay duty ad valorem.
Art. XX.—Any merchant vessel belonging to one of the contracting German
States having entered any of the open ports, and not yet opened hatches, may quit
the same within forty-eight hours after her arrival, and proceed to another port, with-
out being subject to the payment of tonnage-dues, duties, or any other fees or charges;
but tonnage-dues must be paid after the expiration of the said forty-eight hoars.
Art. XXL—Import duties shall be considered payable on the landing of the
-goods, and duties of export on the shipping of the same. When all tonnage-dues and
duties shall have been paid, the Superintendent of Customs shall give a receipt in full
(port-clearance), which being produced at the Consulate, the Consular officer shall
then return to the captain the ship’s papers and permit him to depart on the voyage.
Art. XXII.—The Superintendent of Customs will point out one or more bankers
authorized by the Chinese Government to receive the duties on his behalf. The
receipts of these bankers shall be looked upon as given by the Chinese Government
itself. Payment may be made in bars or in foreign coin, whose relative value to the
Chinese sycee silver shall be fixed by special agreement, according to circumstances,
between the Consular officers and the Superintendent of Customs.
Art. XXIII.—Merchant-vessels belonging to the contracting German States of
more than one hundred and fifty tons burden shall be charged four mace per ton;
merchant-vessels of one hundred and fifty tons and under shall be charged at the
rate of one mace per ton.
The captain or consignee having paid the tonnage-dues the Superintendent of
Customs shall give them a special certificate, on exhibition of which the ship shall be
exempted from all further payment of tonnage-dues in any open port of China which
the captain may visit for a period of four months, to be reckoned from the date of
the port clearance mentioned in Art. XXI.
Boats employed by subjects of the contracting German States in the conveyance
of passengers, baggage, letters, articles of provisions, or articles not subject to duties
shall not be liable to tonnage dues. Any boat of this kind, however, conveying
merchandise subject to duty, shall come under the category of vessels under one
hundred and fifty tons, and pay tonnage-dues at the rate of one mace per register ton.
Art. XXIV.—Goods on which duties have been paid in any of the ports open to
foreign trade, upon being sent into the interior of the country, shall not be subject to
any but* transit duty. The same shall be paid according to the tariff now existing,
and may not be raised in future. This also applies to goods sent from the interior
ot the country to any of the open ports.
TREATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND CHINA
All transit duties on produce brought from the interior to an}' of the open ports,
or importations sent from any of the open ports into the interior of China, may be-
paid once for all.
If any of the Chinese officers violate the stipulations of this Article by demanding
illegal or higher duties than allowed by law, they shall be punished according to
Chinese law.
Art. XXV.—If the master of a merchant vessel belonging to any of the
contracting German States, having entered any of the open ports, should wish to land
only a portion of his cargo, he shall only pay duties for the portion so landed. He
may take the rest of the cargo to another port, pay duties there, and dispose of the
same.
Art. XXVI.—Merchants of any of the contracting German States, who may have
imported merchandise into any of the open ports and paid duty thereon, if they desire
to re-export the same, shall be entitled to make application to the Superintendent of
Customs, who shall cause examination to be made to satisfy himself of the identity of
the goods and of their having remained unchanged.
On such duty-paid goods the Superintendent of Customs shall, on application of
the merchant wishing to export them to any other open port, issue a certificate
testifying to the payment of all legal duties thereon.
The Superintendent of Customs of the port to which such goods are brought
shall, upon presentation of said certificate, issue a permit for the discharge and
landing of them free of all duty, without any additional exactions whatever. But if,
on comparing the goods with certificate, any fraud on the revenue be detected,
then the goods shall be subject to confiscation.
But if the goods are to be exported to a foreign port, the Superintendent of
Customs of the port from which they are exported shall issue a certificate stating
that the merchant who exports the goods has a claim on the Customs equal to the
amount of duty paid on the goods. The certificate shall be a valid tender to the
Customs in payment of import or export duties.
Art. XXVII.—No transhipment from one vessel to another can be made without
special permission of the Superintendent of Customs, under pain of confiscation of
the goods so transhipped, unless it be proved that there was danger in delaying the
transhipment.
Art. XXVIII.—Sets of standard weights and measures, such as are in use at the
Canton Custom-house, shall be delivered by the Superintendent of Customs to the
Consul at each port open to foreign trade. These measures, weights, and balances
shall represent the ruling standard on which all demands and payments of duties are
made, and in case of any dispute they shall be referred to.
Art. XXIX.—Penalties enforced or confiscations made for violation of this
Treaty, or of the appended regulations, shall belong to the Chinese Government.
Art. XXX.—Ships-of-war belonging to the contracting German States cruising
about for the protection of trade, or being engaged in the pursuit of pirates, shall be
at liberty to visit, without distinction, all ports within the dominions of the Emperor
of China. They shall receive every facility for the purchase of provisions, the
procuring of water, and for making repairs. The commanders of such ships shall
hold intercourse with the Chinese authorities on terms of equality and courtesy.
Such ships shall not be liable to payment of duties of any kind.
Art. XXXI.—Merchant vessels belonging to any of the contracting German
States, from injury sustained, or from other causes, compelled to seek a place of
refuge, shall be permitted to enter any port within the dominions of the Emperor of
China without being subject to the payment of tonnage dues or duties on the goods,
if only landed for the purpose of making the necessary repairs of the vessel, and
remaining under the supervision of the Superintendent of Customs. Should any such
vessel be wrecked or stranded on the coast of China, the Chinese authorities shall
immediately adopt measures for rescuing the crew and for securing the vessel and
cargo. The crew thus saved shall receive friendly treatment, and, if necessary, shall
be furnished with means of conveyance to the nearest Consular station.
4*
100 TREATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND CHINA
Art. XXXII.—If sailors or other individuals of ships-of-war or merchant
vessels belonging to any of the contracting Q-erman States desert their ships and take
refuge in the dominions of the Emperor of China, the Chinese authorities shall, upon
due requisition by the Consular Officer, or by the captain, take the necessary steps for
the detention of the deserter, and hand him overto the Consular officer or to the captain.
In like manner, if Chinese deserters or criminals take refuge in the houses or on
board ships belonging to subjects of the contracting German States, the local Chinese
authorities shall apply to the German Consular officer, who will take the necessary
measures for apprehending the said deserter or criminal, and deliver him up to the
■Chinese authorities.
Art. XXXIII.—If any vessel belonging to any of the contracting German States,
while within Chinese waters, be plundered by pirates, it shall be the duty of the
■Chinese authorities to use every means to capture and punish the said pirates, to
recover the stolen property where and in whatever condition it may be, and to hand
the same over to the Consul for restoration to the owner. If the robbers or pirates
■cannot be apprehended, or the property taken cannot be entirely recovered, the
Chinese authorities shall then be punished in accordance with the Chinese law, but
they shall not be held pecuniarily responsible,
Art. XXXIY.—If subjects of any of the contracting German States have any
occasion to address a communication to the Chinese authorities, they must submit
the same to their Consular officer, to determine if the matter be just, and the lan-
guage be proper and respectful, in which event he shall transmit the same to the proper
authorities, or return the same for alterations. If Chinese subjects have occasion to
address a Consul of one of the contracting German States, they must adopt the same
course, and submit their communication to the Chinese authorities, who will act in
like manner.
Art. XXXY.—Any subject of any of the contracting German States having reason
to complain of a Chinese must first proceed to the Consular officer and state his
grievance. The Consular officer, having inquired into the merits of the case, will
endeavour to arrange it amicably. In like manner, if a Chinese have reason to
complain of a subject of any of the contracting German States, the Consular officer
shall listen to his complaint and endeavour to bring about a friendly settlement. If
the dispute, however, is of such a nature that the Consul cannot settle the same
amicably, he shall then request the assistance of the Chinese authorities, that they
may conjointly examine into the merits of the case, add decide it equitably.
Art. XXXYI.—The Chinese authorities shall at all times afford the fullest
protection to the subjects of the contracting German States, especially when they are
exposed to insult or violence. In all cases of incendiarism, robbery, or demolition,
the local authorities shall at once dispatch an armed force to disperse the mob, to
apprehend the guilty, and to punish them with the rigour of the law. Those robbed
or whose property has been demolished shall have a claim upon the despoilers of
their property for indemnification, proportionate to the injury sustained.
Art. XXXVII.—Whenever a subject of His Majesty the Emperor of China fails
to discharge the debts due to a subject of one of the contracting German States, or
fraudulently absconds, the Chinese authorities, upon application by the creditor, will
do their utmost to effect his arrest and to enforce payment of the debt. In like
manner the authorities of the contracting German States shall do their utmost to
enforce the payment of debts of their subjects towards Chinese subjects, and to bring
to justice any who fraudulently abscond. But in no case shall either the Chinese
Government or the Government of the contracting German States be held responsible
for the debts incurred by their respective subjects.
Art. XXXVIII.—Any subject of His Majesty the Emperor of China, having
committed a crime against a subject of one of the contracting German States, shall be
apprehended by the Chinese authorities and punished according to the laws of China.
In like manner, if a subject of the contracting German States is guilty of a
c-mc against a subject of His Majesty the Emperor of China, the Consular officer
shall arrest him and punish him according to the laws of the State to which he belongs.
TREATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND CHINA 101
Art. XXXIX.—All questions arising between subjects of the contracting German
States in reference to the rights of property or person shall be submitted to the
jurisdiction of the authorities of their respective States. In like manner will the
Chinese authorities abstain from interfering in differences that may arise between
subjects of one of the contracting German States and foreigners.
Art. XL.—-The contracting parties agree that the German States and their
subjects shall fully and equally participate in all privileges, immunities, and ad-
vantages that have been, or may be hereafter, granted by His Majesty the Emperor
of China to the government or subjects of any other nation. All changes made in
favour of any nation in the tariff, in the Customs duties, in tonnage and harbour
dues, in import, export, or transit duties, shall, as soon as they take effect, imme-
diately, and without a new Treaty, be equally applied to the contracting German States
and to their merchants, shipowners, and navigators.
Art. XLI.—If in future the contracting German States desire a modification of any
stipulation contained in this Treaty, they shall be at liberty, after the lapse of ten years,
dated from the day of the ratification of this Treaty, to open negotiations to that effect.
Six months before the expiration of the ten years itmustbe officiallynotifiedtotheChinese
Government that modifications of the Treaty are desired, and in what these consist.
If no such notification is made the Treaty remains in force for another ten years.
Art. XLII.—The present Treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications be exchanged
within one year, dated from the day of signature, the exchange of the ratifications to
take place at Shanghai or Tientsin, at the option of the Prussian Government. Im-
mediately after the exchange of ratifications has taken place, the Treaty shall be brought
to the knowledge of the Chinese authorities, and be promulgated in the capital and
throughout the provinces of the Chinese Empire, for the guidance of the authorities.
In faith whereof we, the respective Plenipotentiaries of the high contracting
Powers, have signed and sealed the present Treaty.

Who, after communicating to each other their full powers, and finding them in
due form, have agreed upon the following Articles :—

Taotai of Shanghai and the competent authorities.
German Concession.—In the event of special regulations for the execution of
concessions which the Chinese Government may make to foreign Governments being
attached to such concessions, Germany, while claiming these concessions for herself
and for her subjects, will equallv assent to the regulations attached to them.
SUPPLEMENTARY CONVENTION BETWEEN GERMANY AND CHINA 103
Art. XI. of the Treaty of the 2nd September, 1861, is not affected by this
regulation, and is hereby expressly confirmed.
Should German subjects, on the strength of this Article, claim privileges, immu-
nities, or advantages which the Chinese Government may further concede to another
Power, or the subject of such Power, they will also submit to the regulations which
have been agreed upon in connection with such concession.
Art. II.—Chinese Concession.—German ships, which have already paid tonnage
dues in China, may visit all other open ports in China, as well as all ports not Chinese,
without exception, without being again obliged to pay tonnage dues, within the given
period of four months.

period than fourteen days shall only pay for time over and above this period half of
the tonnage dues stipulated by Treaty.

other competent authorities, shall, after agreeing upon the necessary regulations,

German Concession.—German ships visiting the open ports of China shall deliver
a manifest containing an exact statement as to the quality and quantity of their cargoes.
Mistakes which may have occurred in the manifests can be rectified in the course of
twenty-four hours (Sundays and holidays excepted). False statements as to the

a fine, to be imposed upon the captain, but not to exceed the sum of Tls. 500.
Art. IY.—Chinese Concession.—The export duty on Chinese coal, exported by
German merchants from the open ports, is reduced to 3 mace per ton. In those
ports in which a lower duty on the export of coal has already been fixed upon the

torate, in the same manner as in the case of merchandise.
German Concession.—If German subjects travel into the interior for their own
pleasure without being in possession of a passport issued by the Consul and stamped
by the proper Chinese authority, the local authorities concerned are entitled to have
them taken back to the nearest German Consulate, in order that the requisite
supervision may be exercised over thorn. The offender is, in addition to this, liable
to a fine up to 300 Taels.
Art. YII.—Chinese Concession.—Materials for German docks are free of duty.
A list of articles which may be imported free of duty in conformity with this

Special Stipulations to the Supplementary Convention
For the sake of greater clearness and completeness, it has seemed fitting to
append a number of special stipulations to the Supplementary Convention.
The following stipulations must be observed by the subjects of both the
contracting parties, in the same way as the stipulations of the Treaty itself. In
proof whereof the Plenipotentiaries of the two States have thereto set their seals and
signatures:—
in the1.—In accordance

German ships shallprivileges

and to
unload there merchandise which is either intended for Shanghai or comes from
Shanghai; and for this purpose the competent authorities there shall have the right

every kind ; which regulations shall be binding for the merchants of "both countries,T

this shall be taken as proof ©f a false manifest, no matter whether a certificate of
the reception of such goods on board, bearing the captain’s signature, be produced
or not.
4. —If a (German ship, in consequence of damages received in on
Chinese ports, or outside thereof, needs repair, the time required for such repair
shall be reckoned in addition to the term after the lapse of which tonnage-dues are
to be paid. The Chinese authorities have the right to make the necessary arrange-
ments for this purpose. But if it appears therefrom that this is only a pretext and
a design to evade the legal payments to the Customs, the ship therein concerned shall
be fined in double the amount of the tonnage-dues whereof it has tried to evade the
payment.
5. —No ships of any kind which belong to Chinese subjects are allo
use of the German flag. If there are definite grounds for suspicion that this has
nevertheless been done, the Chinese authority concerned is to address an official
communication thereon to the German Consul, and if it should be shown, in con-
sequence of the investigation instituted by him, that the ship was really not entitled
to bear the German flag, the ship as well as the goods found therein, so far as they
belong to Chinese merchants, shall be immediately delivered over to the Chinese
authorities for further disposal. If it be ascertained that German subjects were
aware of the circumstances, and took part in the commission of the irregularity, the
whole of the goods belonging to them found in the ship are liable to confiscation,
and the people themselves to punishment according to law.
In case a German ship carries the Chinese flag without authority to do so, then,
if it be ascertained through the investigation made by the Chinese authorities that
the ship was really not entitled to bear the Chinese flag, the ship, as well as the
goods found therein, so far as they belong to German merchants, shall be imme-
diately delivered over to the German Consul for further disposal and the punishment
of the guilty. If it be shown that German owners of goods were aware of the cir-
cumstance and took part in the commission of this irregularity, all the goods belong-
ing to them found in the ship shall incur the penalty of confiscation by the Chinese
authorities. The goods belonging to Chinese may be immediately seized by the
Chinese authorities.
6. —If on the sale of the materials of a German ship which, from
ness, has been broken up in one of the open Chinese ports, an attempt be made to
mix up with them goods belonging to the cargo, these goods shall be liable to con-
fiscation, and, moreover, to a fine equal to double the amount of the import duty which
they would otherwise have had to pay.
7. —If German subjects go into the interior with foreign goods, or
the passes or certificates issued to them shall only be valid for thirteen Chinese
months, reckoned from the day of their issue, and after the lapse of that term must no
longer be used. The expired passes and certificates must be returned to the Customs
authorities in whose officiail district they were issued in order to be cancelled.
N.B.—If a pleasure excursion be undertaken into regions so distant that the
term of a year appears insufficient, this must be noted on the pass by reason of an
understanding between the Consul and the Chinese authority at the time it is issued.
If the return of the passport be omitted, no further pass shall be issued to the
person concerned until it has taken place. If the pass be lost, no matter whether
within the term or after its expiration, the person concerned must forthwith make a
formal declaration of the fact before the nearest Chinese authority. The Chinese
official applied to will then do what else may be necessary for the invalidation of
the pass. If the recorded declaration prove to be untrue, in case the transport
of goods be concerned, they will be confiscated ; if the matter relate to travelling,
the traveller will be taken to the nearest Consul, and be delivered up to him for
punishment.
8. —Materials for German docks only enjoy, in so far as they
employed for the repair of ships, the favour of duty-free importation in open ports.
The Customs authority has the right to send inspectors to the dock to convince
106 SUPPLEMENTAEY CONVENTION BETWEEN GERMANY AND CHINA
themselves on the spot as to the manner and way in which the materials are being
used. If the construction of a new ship be concerned, the materials employed for
this, in so far as they are specially entered in the import or export tariff, will be
reckoned at the tariff duty, and those not entered in the tariff at a duty of 5 per
cent, ad valorem, and the merchant concerned will be bound to pay this duty
subsequently.
Any one who wishes to lay out a dock is to get from the Customs office a gratis
Concession certificate, and to sign a written undertaking, the purport and wording

THE KIAOCHOW CONVENTION
I. —His Majesty the Emperor of China, being desirous of preserving
good relations with His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, and of promoting an
increase of German power and influence in the Far East, sanctions the acquirement
under lease by Germany of the land extending for 100 li at high tide (at Kiaochow).
His Majesty the Emperor of China is willing that German troops should take
possession of the above-mentioned territory at any time the Emperor of Germany
chooses. China retains her sovereignty over this territory, and, should she at any
time wish to enact laws or carry out plans within the leased area, she shall be at
liberty to enter into negotiations with Germany with reference thereto; provided
always that such laws or plans shall not be prejudicial to German interests. Germany
may engage in works for the public benefit, such as water-works, within the territory
covered by the lease, without reference to China. Should China wish to march troops
or establish garrisons therein she can only do so after negotiating with and obtaining
the express permission of Germany.
II. —His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, being desirous, like t
certain other countries, of establishing a naval and coaling station and constructing
dockyards on the coast of China, the Emperor of China agrees to lease to him for the
purpose all the land on the southern and northern sides of Kiaochow Bay for a term
of ninety-nine years. Germany is to be at liberty to erect forts on this land for the
defence of her possessions therein.
ITT.—During the continuance of the lease China shall have no voice in the
government or administration of the leased territory. It will be governed and
administered during the whole term of ninety-nine years solely by Germany, so that
the possibility of friction between the two Powers may be reduced to the smallest
magnitude. The lease covers the following districts:—
(a)—All the land in the north-east of Lienhan, adjacent to the north-eastern
mouth of the Bay, within a straight line drawn from the north-eastern comer of
Yintao to Laoshan-wan.
(6.)—All the land in the south-west of Lienhan, adjacent to the southern mouth
of the Bay, within a straight line drawn from a point on the shore of the Bay bearing
south-west by south from Tsi-pe-shan-to.
(c.)—Tsi-pe-shan-to and Yintao.
{d.)—The whole area of the Bay of Kiaochow covered at high-water.
(e.)—Certain islands at the entrance of the Bay which are ceded for the purpose
of erecting forts for the defence of the German possessions. The boundaries of the
leased territory shall hereafter be more exactly defined by a commission appointed
jointly by the Chinese and German Governments, and consisting of Chinese and
German subjects. Chinese ships of war and merchant-ships, and ships of war and
merchant-ships of countries having treaties and in a state of amity with China shall
receive equal treatment with German ships of war and merchant ships in Kiaochow
Bay during the continuance of the lease. Germany is at liberty to enact any regula-
tions sbe desires for the government of the territory and harbour, provided such
regulations apply impartially to the ships of all nations, Germany and China included.
IV.—Germany shall be at liberty to erect whatever lighthouses, beacons, and other
aids to navigation she chooses within the territory leased, and along the islands and
coasts approaching the entrance to the harbour. Vessels of China and vessels of
other countries entering the harbour shall be liable to special duties for the repair
and maintenance of all lighthouses, beacons and other aids to navigation which
Germany may erect and establish. Chinese vessels shall be exempt from other
special duties.
108 RAILWAY AND MINING CONCESSION
Y.—Should G-ermany desire to give up her interest in the leased territory before-
the expiration of ninety-nine years, China shall take over the whole area, and pay
Germany for whatever German property may at the time of surrender be there-
situated. In cases of such surrender taking place Germany shall be at liberty to lease
some other point along the coast. Germany shall not cede the territory leased to any
other Power than China. Chinese subjects shall be allowed to live in the territory
leased, under the protection of the German authorities, and there carry on their avoca-
tions and business as long as they conduct themselves as peaceable and law-abiding:
citizens. Germany shall pay a reasonable price to the native proprietors for whatever
lands her Government or subjects require. Fugitive Chinese criminals taking refuge
in the leased territory shall be arrested and surrendered to the Chinese authorities for
trial and punishment, upon application to the German authorities, but the Chinese
authorities shall not be at liberty to send agents into the leased territory to make-
arrests. The German authorities shall not interfere with the lekin stations outside
but adjacent to the territory.

facturers decline to take up the business the Chinese shall then be at liberty to obtain
money and materials from sources of other nationality than German.
This convention requires the sanction of His Majesty the Emperor of China and
His Majesty the Emperor of Germany. When the sanction of His Majesty the
Emperor of China reaches Berlin the agreement approved by His Majesty the
Emperor of Germany shall be handed to the Chinese Ambassador. When the final
draft is agreed to by both parties four clean copies of it shall be made, two in Chinese
and two in German, which shall be duly signed by the Chinese and German Minister
at Berlin and Peking. Each Power shall retain one Chinese copy and one German
copy, and the agreement shall be faithfully observed on either side.

TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA
Signed, in the Russian, Chinese, and French Languages,
at St. Petersburg, 12th February, 1881
Ratifications exchanged at St. Petersburg, 19th August, 1881
[Translated from the French Text]
His Majesty the Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias and His Majesty the-
Emperor of China, desiriug to regulate some questions of frontier and trade touching
the interests of the two Empires, in order to cement the relations of friendship
between the two countries, have named for their Plenipotentiaries, to the effect of
establishing an agreement on these questions:—
His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias: His Secretary of State Nicholas
de G-iers, Senator, actual Privy Councillor, directing the Imperial Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, and his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to His Majesty
the Emperor of China, Eugene de Buzow, actual Councillor of State.
And His Majesty the Emperor of China: Tseng, Marquess of Neyong, Vice-
President of the High Court of Justice, his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, furnished with special
powers to sign the present Treaty in quality of Ambassador Extraordinary :—
The above-named Plenipotentiaries, furnished with full powers, which have been
found sufficient, have agreed upon the following stipulations:—
Art. I.—His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias consents to the re-
establishment of the Chinese Government in the country of Hi, temporarily occupied
since 1871 by the Russian Armies. Russia remains in possession of this country
within the limits indicated by Article VII. of the present Treaty.
Art. II.—His Majesty the Emperor of China engages to decree the proper
measures to shelter the inhabitants of the country of Ili, of whatever race and to
whatever religion, they belong, from all persecution, in their goods or in their persons,
from acts committed during or after the troubles that have taken place in that country,
A proclamation in conformity with this engagement will be addressed by the
Chinese authorities, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of China, to the popula-
tion of the country of Ili, before the restoration of this country to the said authorities.
Art. III.—The inhabitants of the country of Ili will be free to remain in the
places of their actual residence as Chinese subjects, or to emigrate to Russia and
to adopt Russian dependence. They will be called to pronounce themselves on the
subject before the re-establishment of Chinese authority in the country of Ili, and a
delay of one year, from the date of the restoration of the country to the Chinese
authorities, will be accorded to those who show a desire to emigrate to Russia. The
Chinese will oppose no impediment to their emigration or to the transportation of
their moveable property.
Art. IV.—Russian subjects possessing land in the country of Ili will keep their
rights of property, even after the re-establishment of the authority of the Chinese
Government in that country.
This provision is not applicable to the inhabitants of the country of Ili who
shall adopt Russian nationality upon the re-establishment of Chinese authority in
this country.
112 TEEATY BETWEEN EUSSIA AND CHINA
Eussian subjects whose lands are situated without places appropriated to
Eussian factories, in virtue of Article XIII. of the Treaty of Kuldja of 1851, ought
to discharge the same taxes and contributions as Chinese subjects.
Art. Y.—The two Governments will appoint commissioners of Kuldja, who will
proceed to the restoration on the one part, to the resumption on the other, of
the administration of the province of Hi, and who will be charged, in general, with
the execution of the stipulations of the present Treaty relating to the re-establish-
ment, in this country, of the Chinese Government.
The said commissioners will fulfil their commission, in conforming to the
understanding which will be established as to the mode of restoration on the one
part and of resumption on the other, of the administration of the country of Hi,
between the Governor-General of Turkestan and the Governor-General of Shansi and
Kansuh, charged by the two Governments with the high direction of the affair.
The resumption of the country of Hi should be finished within a delay of three
months or sooner, if it can be done, dating from the day of the arrival at Tashkend
of the functionary who will be delegated by the Governor-General of Shansi and
Kansuh to the Governor-General of Turkestan to notify to him the ratification and
the promulgation of the present Treaty by His Majesty the Emperor of China.
Art. VI.-—The Government of His Majesty the Emperor of China will pay to
the Eussian Government the sum of nine millions of metallic roubles, designed to cover
the expenses occasioned by the occupation of the country of Hi by the Eussian troops
since 1871, to satisfy all the pecuniary claims arising from, up to the present day, the
losses which Eussian subjects have suffered in their goods pillaged on Chinese
territories, and to furnish relief to the families of Eussian subjects killed in armed
attacks of which they have been victims on Chinese territory.
The above-mentioned sum of nine millions of metallic roubles will be paid within
the teim of two years from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the present
Treaty, according to the order and the conditions agreed upon between the two
•Governments in the special Protocol annexed to the present Treaty.
Art. VII.—The western portion of the country of Hi is incorporated with
Eussia, in order to serve as a place of establishment for the inhabitants of this country
who shall adopt the Eussian dependence and who, by this action, will have had to
abandon the lands which they possessed there.
The frontier between the possessions of Eussia and the Chinese province of Hi
will follow, starting from the mountains Bedjin-taou, the course of the river Khorgos,
as far as the place where this river falls into the river Hi, and, crossing the latter,
will take a direction to the south, towards the mountains Ouzoun-taou, leaving to
the west the village of Koldjat. Proceeding from this point it will follow, whilst
being directed to the south, the delineation fixed by the Protocol signed at Tchugtu-
chack in 1864.
Art. VIII.—A part of the frontier line, fixed by the protocol signed at Tchugtu-
chack in 1861, at the east of the Lake Zaisan, having been found defective, the two
Governments will name commissioners who will modify, by a common agreement, the
ancient delineation in such a manner as to remove the defects pointed out and to estab-
lish an effective separation between the Kirghiz tribes submitted to the two Empires.
To the new delineation will be given, as much as possible, an intermediate direc-
tion. between the old frontier and a straight line leading from the Kouitoun hill
towards the Saour hills, crossing the Tcherny-Irtysh.
Art. IX.—The commissioners to be named by the two contracting parties will
proceed to place posts of demarcation, as well on the delineation fixed by the
preceding Articles VII. and VIII., as on the parts of the frontier where posts have
not yet been placed. The time and the place of meeting of these commissioners
shall be fixed by an understanding between the two Governments.
The two Governments will also name commissioners to examine the frontier
•and to place posts of demarcation between the Eussian province of Perganah and

the existing of Kashgar. The commissioners will take
TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA 113
Art. X.—The right recognised by the Treaties of the Russian Government to
nominate Consuls to Hi, to Tarbagatai, to Kashgar, and to Ourga is extended, from
-the present time, to the towns of Souteheou (Tsia-yu-kwan) and of Turfan. In the
following towns : Kobdo, Uliassoutai, Khami, Urumtsi, and Goutchen, the Russian
Government will establish consulates in proportion to the development of commerce,
and after an understanding with the Chinese Government.
The Consul of Soutcheou (Tsia-yu-kwan) and of Turfan will exercise consular
-functions in the neighbouring districts, where the interests of Russian subjects
demand their presence.
The dispositions contained in Articles V. andVL of the Treaty concluded at Peking
in 1860, and relative to the concession of land for the houses for the consulates,
for cemeteries, and for pasturage, will apply equally to the towns of Sbutcheou
(Tsia-yu-kwan) and of Turfan. The local authorities will aid the Consul to find
provisional habitations until the time when the houses of the consulates shall be built.
The Russian Consuls in Mongolia and in the districts situated on the two slopes
of the Tien-shan will make use of, for their journeys and for their correspondence,
-the postal institutions of the Government, conformably to the stipulations of Article
XI. of the Treaty of Tientsin and of Article XII. of the Treaty of Peking. The
■Chinese authorities, to whom they will address themselves for this purpose, will lend
them aid and assistance.
The town of Turfan not being a locality open to foreign trade, the right of
establishing a consulate will not be invoked as a precedent to obtain a right analogous
-to the ports of China for the provinces of the interior and for Manchuria.
Art. XL—Russian Consuls will communicate, for affairs of service, either with
the local authorities of the town of their residence, or with the superior authorities
of the circuit or of the province, according as the interests which are respectively
epnfided to them, the importance of the affairs to be treated of, and their prompt
expedition shall require. As to the rules of etiquette to be observed at the time
of their interviews and, in general, in their relations, they will be based upon the
■respect which the functionaries of two friendly Powers reciprocally owe each other.
All the affairs which may arise on Chinese territory, on the subject of commer-
cial or other transactions, between those under the jurisdiction of the two States,
will be examined and regulated, by a common agreement, by the Consuls and the
Chinese authorities.
In lawsuits on commercial matters, the two parties will terminate their difference
amicably by means of arbitrators chosen by one side and the other. If agreement
is not established in this way, the affair will be examined and regulated by the
authorities of the two States.
Engagements contracted in writing, between Russian and Chinese subjects,
relative to orders for merchandise, to the transport of it, to the location of shops,
of houses, and of other places, or relating to other transactions of the same kind,
may be presented for legalisation by the Consulates and by the superior local
administrations, who are bound to legalize the documents which are presented to
them. In case of non-execution of the engagements contracted, the Consul and the
Chinese authorities will consult as to the measures necessary to secure the execution
of these obligations.
Art. XII.—Russian subjects are authorized to carry on, as in the past, trade
free of duties in Mongolia subject to China, as well as in places and aimaks where
there is a Chinese administration, as in those where there is none.
Russian subjects will equally enjoy the right of carrying on trade free of duties
in the towns and other localities of the provinces of Hi, of Tarbagatai, of Kashgar,
of Urumtsi, and others situated on the slopes north and south of the chain of the
Tien-shau as far as the Great Wall. This immunity will be abrogated when the
development of the trade necessitates the establishment of a customs tariff contorm-
able to an understanding to be come to by the two Governments.
Russian subjects can import into the above-named provinces of China and
-export from them every description of produce, of whatever origin they may be;
114 TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA
They may make purchases and sales, whether in cash, or by way of exchange; they
will have the right to make their payments in merchandise of every description.
Art. XIII.—In the places where the Russian Government will have the right
to establish consulates, as well as in the town of Kalgan, Russian subjects may
construct houses, shops, warehouses, and other buildings on the lands which they
will acquire by means of purchase, or which may be conceded to them by the local
authorities, conformably to that which has been established for Hi and Tarbagatai,
by Article XIII. of the Treaty of Kuldja of 1851.
The privileges granted to Russian subjects in the town of Kalgan, where there-
will not be a consulate, constitute an exception which cannot be extended to any
other locality of the interior provinces.
Art. XIV.—Russian merchants who may wish to dispatch merchandise from
Russia, by land, into the interior provinces of China, can, as formerly, direct it*
by the towns of Kalgan and Tungchow, to the port of Tientsin, and from there to
the other ports and interior markets, and sell it in those different places.
Merchants will use this same route to export to Russia the merchandise-
purchased, as well in the towns and ports above named as in the interior markets.
They will equally have the right to repair, for matters of trade, to Soutcheou
(Tsia-yu-kwan), the terminal point of the Russian caravans, and they will enjoy
there all the rights granted to Russian trade at Tientsin.
Art. XV.—Trade by land, exercised by Russian subjects in the interior and
exterior provinces of China, will be governed by the Regulations annexed to the-
present Treaty.
The commercial stipulations of the present Treaty, as well as the Regulations
which serve as a supplement to it, can be revised after an interval of ten years has-
elapsed from the date of the exchange of ratifications of the Treaty; but if, in the
course of six months before the expiration of this term, neither of the contracting
parties manifest a desire to proceed to the revision, the trade stipulations as well as
ths Regulations will remain in force for a new term of ten years.
Trade by sea route of Russian subjects in China will be subject to the general
regulations established for foreign maritime commerce in China. If it becomes
necessary to make modifications in these regulations, the two Governments will
establish an understanding on this subject.
Art. XVI.—If the development of Russian overland trade provokes the necessity
of the establishment, for goods of export and import in China, of a Customs tariff,
more in relation than the tariffs actually in force to the necessities of that trade,,
the Russian and Chinese Governments will proceed to an understanding on this
subject, by adopting as a base for settling the duties of entry and exit the rate of
five per cent, of the value of the goods.
Until the establishment of this tariff, the export duties on some kinds of teas of
inferior quality, actually imposed at the rates established for the tea of superior
quality, will be diminished proportionately to their value. The settling of these
duties will be proceeded with, for each kind of tea, by an understanding between the
Chinese Government and the envoy of Russia to Peking, within the term of one year,
at the latest, from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty.
Art. XVII.—Some divergencies of opinion having arisen hitherto as to the
application of Article X. of the Treaty concluded at Peking, in 1860, it is
established by these presents that the stipulations of the above-named Article,
relative to the recoveries to be effected, in case of theft and the harbouring of
cattle beyond the frontier, will be for the future interpreted in this sense, that at
the time of tho discovery of the individuals guilty of theft or the harbouring of *
cattle, they will be condemned to pay the real value of the cattle which they
have not restored. It is understood that in case of the insolvency of the individuals
guilty of theft of cattle, the indemnity to be paid cannot be placed to the charge of-
the local authorities. |

belong of cattle diverted, or which may have passed the frontier.
The traces of cattle turned aside or which may have passed the frontier may be
indicated, not only to the guards of the frontier posts, but also to the elders of the
nearest villages.
Art. XVIII.—The stipulations of the Treaty concluded at Aigoun the 16th May,
1858, concerning the rights of the subjects of the two Empires to navigate the Amoor,
the Sungari, and the Oussouri, and to carry on trade with the populations of the
riverine localities, are and remain confirmed.
The two Governments will proceed to the establishment of an understanding
concerning the mode of application of the said stipulations.
Art. XIX—The stipulations of the old Treaties between Russia and China, not
modified by the present Treaty, remain in full vigour.
Art. XX.—The present Treaty, after having been ratified by the two Emperors,
will be promulgated in each Empire, for the knowledge and governance of each one.
The exchange of ratifications will take place at St. Petersburg, within a period of
six months counting from the day of the signature of the Treaty.
Having concluded the above Article, plenipotentiaries of the two contract-
ing parties have signed and sealed two copies of the present Treaty, in the Russian,
Chinese, aud French languages. Of the three texts, duly compared and found in

Treaty.

REGULATIONS EOR THE LAND TRADE BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND CHINA
Art. I.—A trade by free exchange and free of duty (free trade) between Russian
and Chinese subjects is authorised within a zone extending for fifty versts (100 li) on
either side of the frontier. The supervision of this trade will rest with the two
Governments, in accordance with their respective frontier regulations.
Art. II.—Russian subjects proceeding on business to Mongolia, and to the
districts situated on the northern and southern slopes of the Tian-shan mountains
may only cross the frontier at certain points specified in the list annexed to those
regulations. They must procure from the Russian authorities permits in the Russian
and Chinese languages, with Mongolian and Tartar translation. The name of the
owner of the goods, or that of the leader of the caravan, a specification of the goods,
the number of packages, and the number of heads of cattle may be indicated in the
Mongolian or Tartar languages, in the Chinese text of these permits. Merchants,
on entering Chinese territory, are bound to produce their permits at the Chinese
post nearest to the frontier, where, after examination, the permit is to be counter-
signed by the chief of the post. The Chinese authorities are entitled to arrest
merchants who have crossed the frontier without permit, and to deliver them over to
the Russian authorities nearest to the frontier, or to the competent Russian Consul,
for the infliction of a severe penalty. In case of the permit being lost, the owner is
bound to give notice to the Russian Consul, in order that a fresh one may be
issued to him, and inform the local authorities, in order to obtain a.temporary
certificate which will enable him to pursue his journey. Merchandise introduced
into Mongolia and the districts situated on the slopes of the Tian-shan, but which
have found no sale there, may be forwarded to the towns of Tientsin and Sou-
tcheou (Tsia-yu-kwan), to be sold or to be sent farther into China. With regard
to the duties on such merchandise, to-the issue of permits for its carriage, and to
other Customs formalities, proceedings shall be taken in accordance with the following
provisions.
Art. III.—Russian merchants forwarding goods from Kiachta and the Nertchinsk
country to Tientsin must send them by way of Kalgan, Dounba, and Toun-tcheou.
Merchandise forwarded to Tientsin from the Russian frontier by Kobdo and
Kouihoua-tchen is to follow the same route. Merchants must be provided with
transport permits issued by the Russian authorities, and duly vised by the competent
Chinese authorities, which must give, in the Chinese and Russian languages, the
name of the owner of the goods, the number of packages, and a description of the
goods they contain. The officials of the Chinese Custom-houses situated on the road
by which merchandise is forwarded will proceed, without delay, to verify the number
of the packages, and to examine the goods, which they will allow to pass onwards,
after fixing a visa to the permit. Packages opened in the course of the Customs
examinations will be closed again at the Custom-house, the number'of packages
opened being noted on the permit. The Customs examination is not to last more
than two hours. The permits are to be presented within a term of.six months
at the Tientsin Custom-house to be cancelled. If the owner of i the goods finds
this term insufficient, he must at the proper time and place give notice to the Chinese
authorities. In case of the permit being lost the merchant must give notice to the
authorities who delivered it to him to obtain a duplicate and must for that purpose-
TRADE REGULATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA ll?-
mate known the number and date of the missing permit. The nearest Custom-
house on his road, after having ascertained the accuracy of the merchant’s declara-
tions, will give him a provisional certificate, accompanied by which bis goods may
proceed on their journey. An inaccurate declaration of the quantity of the goods,
if it be proved that it was intended to conceal sales effected on the road, or to escape
payment of duty, will render the merchant liable to the infliction of the penalties laid
down by Art. VIII. of the present regulations.
Art. IV.—Russian merchants who may wish to sell at Kalgan any portion of
the goods brought from Russia must make a declaration to that effect to the local
authorities within the space of five days. Those authorities, after the merchant has'
paid the whole of the entrance duties, will furnish him with a permit for the sale of
the goods.
Art. V.—Goods brought by Russian merchants by land from Russia to Tientsin
will pay an entrance duty equivalent to two-thirds of the rate established by the
tariff. Goods brought from Russia to Sou-tcheou (Tsia-yu-kwan) will pay in that
town the same duties and be subject to the same regulations as at Tientsin.
Art. VI.—-If the goods left at Kalgan, having paid the entrance duties, are not
sold there, their owner may send them on to Toun-tcheou, or to Tientsin, and the
Customs authorities, without levying fresh duties, will repay to the merchant one-third1
of the entrance duty paid at Kalgan, a note to that effect being made on the permit
issued by the Kalgan Custom-house. Russian merchants, after paying transit dues,
i.e., one-half of the duty specified in the tariff, may forward to the internal markets
goods left at Kalgan which have paid the entrance dues, subject only to the general
regulations established for foreign trade in China. A transport permit, which is to
be produced at all the Custom-houses and barriers on the road, will be delivered for
these goods. Goods not accompanied by such permit will have to pay duty at the
Custom-houses they pass, and lelcin at the barriers.
Art. VII.—Goods brought from Russia to Sou-tcheou (Tsia-yu-kwan) may be
forwarded to the internal markets under the conditions stipulated by Art. IX. of
these Regulations for goods forwarded from Tientsin destined for the internal
market.
Art. VIII.—If it be ascertained, when the Customs examination of goods brought
from Russia to Tientsin takes place, that the goods specified in the permit have been
withdrawn from the packages and replaced by others, or that their quantity (after
deducting what has been left at Kalgan) is smaller than that indicated in the permit,
the whole of the goods included in the examination will be confiscated by the Customs
authorities. It is understood that packages damaged on the road, and which, con-
sequently, have been repacked, shall not be liable to confiscation, provided always
that such damage has been duly declared at the nearest Custom-house, and that a
note to such effect has been made by the office after it has ascertained the untouched
condition of the goods as at first sent off. Goods concerning which it is ascertained
that a portion has been sold on the road will be liable to confiscation. If goods
have been taken by by-ways in order to evade their examination at the Custom-
houses established on the routes indicated in Art. III., the owner will be liable to a
fine equal in amount to the whole entrance duty. If a breach of the aforesaid
regulations has been committed by the carriers, without the knowledge or connivance
of the owner of the goods, the Customs authorities will take this circumstance
into consideration in determining the amount of the fine. This provision only applies
to localities through which the Russian land trade passes, and is not applicable to
similar cases arising at the ports and in the interior of the provinces. When goods
are confiscated the merchant is entitled to release them by paying the equivalent of
their value, duly arrived at by an understanding with the Chinese authorities.
Art. IX.—On the exportation by sea from Tientsin to some other Chinese port
opened to foreign trade by Treaty of goods brought from Russia by land, the
Tientsin Customs will levy on such goods one-third of the tariff duty, in addition to
the two-thirds already paid. No duty shall be levied on these goods in other ports.
Goods sent from Tientsin or the other ports to the internal markets are subject to
4 IS TRADE REGULATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA
,transit dues (i.e., half of the tariff duty) according to the general provisions laid
down for foreign trade.
Art. X.—Chinese goods sent from Tientsin to Russia by Russian merchants
must be forwarded to Kalgan by the. route indicated under Art. III. The entire
.export duty will be levied on these goods when they leave the country. Nevertheless,
re-imported goods bought at Tientsin, as well as those bought in another port and
forwarded in transitu to Tientsin to be exported to Russia, if accompanied by a
.Customs receipt for the export duty, shall not pay a second time, and the half
re-importation duty (coasting duty) paid at Tientsin will be repaid to the merchant
if the goods upon which it has been paid are exported to Russia a year from
•the time of such payment. For the transport of goods in Russia the Russian Consul
will issue a permit indicating in the Russian and Chinese languages the name of the
.owner of the goods, the number of packages, and the nature of the goods they
contain. These permits will be vised by the Port Customs authorities, and must
.accompany the goods for production when they are examined at the Custom-houses
,ou the road. The rules given in detail in Article III. will be observed as to the term
within which the permit is to be presented to the Custom-house to be cancelled, and
as to the proceedings in case of the permit being lost. Goods will follow the route
indicated by Article III., and are not to be sold on the road; a breach of this rule will
render the merchant liable to the penalties provided for under Article VIII. Goods
will be examined at the Custom-houses on the road in accordance with the rules laid
down under Article III. Chinese goods bought by Russian merchants at Sou-tcheou
(Tsia-yu-kwan), or brought by them from the internal markets to be forwarded to
Russia, on leaving Sou-tcheou for Russia, will have to pay the duty leviable upon
goods exported from Tientsin, and will be subject to the regulations established for
that port.
Art. XI.—Goods bought at Toun-tcheou, on leaving that place for Russia by
land, will have to pay the full export duty laid down by the tariff. Goods bought at
Kalgan will pay in that town, on leaving for Russia, a duty equivalent to half the
tariff rate. Goods bought by Russian merchants in the internal markets, and brought
to Toun-tcheou and Kalgan to be forwarded to Russia, will, moreover, be subject
to transit dues, according to the general rules established for foreign trade
in the internal markets. The local Custom-houses of the aforesaid towns after
levying the duties will give the merchant a transport permit for the goods. For
goods leaving Toun-tcheou this permit will be issued by the Dounba Customs
authorities, to whom application is to be made for it, accompanied by payment of
the duties to which the goods are liable. The permit will mention the prohibition
to sell goods on the road. The rules given in detail in Article III. relative to permits,
the examination of goods, etc., will apply in like manner to goods exported from the
places mentioned in this Article.
Art. XII.—Goods of foreign origin sent to Russia by land from Tientsin, Tour-
tcheou, Kalgan, and Sou-tcheou (Tsia-yu-kwan) will pay no duty if the merchant
produces a Customs receipt acknowledging payment of the import and transit duties
on those goods. If they have only paid entrance duties the competent Custom-house
will call upon the merchant for the payment of the transit dues fixed by the tariff.
Art. XIII.—Goods imported into China by Russian merchants, or exported by
them, will pay Custom duties according to the general tariff for foreign trade with
China, and according to the additional tariff drawn up for Russian trade in 1862.
Goods not enumerated in either of those tariffs will be subject to a 5 per cent.
ad valorem duty.
Art. XIV.—The following articles will be admitted free of export and import
duty: Gold and silver ingots, foreign coins, flour of all kinds, sago, biscuits,
preserved meats and vegetables, cheese, butter, confectionery, foreign clothes,
jewellery and silver plate, perfumery and soaps of all kinds, charcoal, firewood,
handles of foreign manufacture, foreign tobacco and cigars, wine, beer, spirits,
household
u a stores and utensils to be used in houses and on board ship, travellers’
og ge, official stationery, tapestries, cutlery, foreign medicines, glassware, and
AGREEMENT BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA 119
ornaments. The aforementioned articles will pass free of duty on entering and on
leaving by land; but if they are sent from the towns and ports mentioned in these
regulations to the internal markets they will pay a transit duty of 2| per cent, ad
valorem. Travellers’ luggage, gold and silver ingots, and foreign coins will, however,
not pay this duty.
Art. XY.—The exportation and importation of the following articles is prohibited
under penalty of confiscation in case of smuggling: —Gunpowder, artillery ammuni-
tion, cannon, muskets, rifles, pistols, and all firearms, engines, and munitions of
war, salt, and opium. Russian subjects going to China may, for their personal
defence, have one musket or one pistol each, of which mention will be made in the
permit they are provided with. The importation by Russian subjects of saltpetre,
sulphur, and lead is allowed only under special licence from the Chinese authorities,
and those articles may only be sold to Chinese subjects who hold a special purchase-
permit. The exportation "of rice and of Chinese copper coin is forbidden. On the
other hand, the importation of rice and of all cereals may take place duty free.
Art. XVI.—The transport of goods belonging to Chinese merchants is forbidden
to Russian merchants attempting to pass them off as their own property.
Art. XVII.—The Chinese authorities are entitled to take the necessary measures
against smuggling.

mutineers or deserters from on board the vessels of the United States in China on
being informed by the Consul, and will deliver them up to the Consuls or other officers

the cargo without such permit, shall incur a fine of five hundred Dollars, and the goods
so discharged without permit shall be subject to forfeiture to the Chinese Government.
But if a master of any vessel in port desire to discharge a part only of the cargo, it
shall be lawful for him to do so, paying duty on such part only, and to proceed with
the remainder to any other ports. Or if the master so desire, he may, within forty-
eight hours after the arrival of the vessel, but not later, decide to depart without
breaking bulk; in which case he shall not be subject to pay tonnage or other duties
or charges, until, on his arrival at another port, he shall proceed to discharge cargo
when he shall pay the duties on vessel and cargo, according to law. And the tonnage
duties shall be held due after the expiration of the said forty-eight hours. In case
of the absence of the Consul or person charged with his functions, the captain or
. supercargo of the vessel may have recourse to the Consul of a friendly Power; or, if
he please, directly to the Superintendent of Customs, who shall do all that is required
■ to conduct the ship’s business.
Art. XX.—The Superintendent of Customs, in order to the collection of the
proper duties, shall, on application made to him through the Consul, appoint suitable
..officers, who shall proceed, in the presence of the captain, supercargo, or consignee
to make a just and fair examination of all goods in the act of being discharged for
•importation, or laden for exportation, on board any merchant vessel of the United
States. And if disputes occur in regard to the value of goods subject to ad valorem
duty, or in regard to the amount of tare, and the same cannot be satisfactorily
. arranged by the parties, the question may, within twenty-four hours, and not after-
wards, be referred to the said Consul to adjust with the Superintendent of Customs.
Art. XXI.—Citizens of the United States who may have imported merchandise
into any of the free ports of China, and paid the duty thereon, if they desire to
re-export the same in part or in whole to any other of the said ports, shall be entitled
to make application, through their Consul, to the Superintendent of Customs, who,
in order to prevent fraud on the revenue, shall cause examination to be made, by
suitable officers, to see that the duties paid on such goods as are entered on the Custom-
house books correspond with the representation made, and that the goods remain
with their original marks unchanged, and shall then make a memorandum in the
port-clearance of the goods and the amount of duties paid on the same, and deliver
the same to the merchant, and shall also certify the facts to the officers of Customs
at the other ports; all which being done, on the arrival in port of the vessel in
which the goods are laden, and everything being found, on examination there, to
correspond, she shall be permitted to break bulk, and land the said goods without
being subject to the payment of any additional duty thereon. But if, on such
examination, the Superintendent of Customs shall detect any fraud on the revenue in
-the case, then the goods shall be subject to forfeiture and confiscation to the Chinese
Government. Foreign grain or rice brought into any port of China in a ship of
.the United States, and not landed, may be re-exported without hindrance.
Art. XXII.—The tonnage duty on vessels of the United States shall be paid on
their being admitted to entry. Duties of import shall be paid on the discharge of the
TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA
goods, and duties of export on the lading of the same. When all such duties shall
have been paid, and not before, the Collector of Customs shall give a port-clearance,
and the Consul shall return the ship’s papers. The duties shall be paid to the shroffs
[ authorized by the Chinese Government to receive the same. Duties shall be paid and
j received either in sycee silver or in foreign money, at the rate of the day. If the
j Consul permits a ship to leave the port before the duties and tonnage dues are paid
I he shall be held responsible therefor.
Art. XXIII.—-When goods on board any merchant vessel of the United States
1 Tin port require to be transhipped to another vessel application shall be made to the
Consul, who shall certify what is the occasion therefor to the Superintendent of
Customs, who may appoint officers to examine into the facts and permit the
•transhipment. And if any goods be transhipped without written permits, they shall
'be subject to be forfeited to the Chinese Government.
Art. XXIV.—Where there are debts due by subjects of China to citizens of the
United States, the latter may seek redress in law; and, on suitable representation being
•made to the local authorities through the Consul, they will cause due examination in
the premises, and take proper steps to compel satisfaction. And if citizens of the
TJnited States be indebted to subjects of China, the latter may seek redress by
representation through the Consul, or by suit in the Consular Court; but neither
■Government will hold itself responsible for such debts.
Art. XXV.—It shall be lawful for the officers or citizens of the United States to
employ scholars and people of any part of China, without distinction of persons, to
teach any of the languages of the Empire, and assist in literary labours, and the
persons so employed shall not for that cause be subject to any injury on the part
either of the Government or individuals; and it shall in like manner be lawful for
citizens of the United States to purchase all manner of books in China.
Art. XXVI.—Relations of peace and amity between the United States and China
being established by this Treaty, and the vessels of the United States being admitted
to trade freely to and from the ports of China open to foreign commerce, it is further
agreed that, in case at any time hereafter China should be at war with any foreign
nation whatever, and should for that cause exclude such nation from entering her
ports, still the vessels of the United States shall none the less continue to pursue their
commerce in freedom and security, and to transport goods to and from the ports of
the belligerent Powers, full respect being paid to the neutrality of the flag of the
United States, provided that the said flag shall not protect vessels engaged in the
transportation of officers or soldiers in the enemy’s service, nor shall said flag be
fraudulently used to enable the enemy’s ships, with their cargoes, to enter the ports
of China :; but all such vessels so offending shall be subject to forfeiture and confisca-
tion to the Chinese Government.
Art. XXVII.—All questions in regard to rights, whether of property or person,
; arising between citizens of the United States in China, shall be subject to the
y jurisdiction and be regulated by the authorities of their own government; and all
controversies occurring in China between citizens of the United States and the
subjects of any other government shall be regulated by the Treaties existing between
the United States and such governments respectively, without interference on the
part of China.
Art. XXVIII.—If citizens of the United States have special occasion to address
any communication to the Chinese local officers of Government, they shall submit the
■same to their Consul or other officer, to determine if the language be proper and
respectful, and the matter just and right, in which event he shall transmit the same
to the appropriate authorities for their consideration and action in the premises. If
subjects of China have occasion to address the Consul of the United States they may
address him directly, at the same time they inform tbeir own officers, representing the
■case for his consideration and action in the premises; and if controversies arise
between citizens of the United States and subjects of China, which cannot be amicably
; settled otherwise, the same shall be examined and decided conformably to justice and
equity by the public officers of the two nations, acting in conjunction. The extortion
120 ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA
of illegal fees is expressly prohibited. Any peaceable persons are allowed to enter
the Court in order to interpret, lest injustice be done.
Art. XXIX.—The principles of the Christian Religion, as professed by the
Protestant and Roman Catholic Churches, are recognised as teaching men to do good,
and to do to others as they would have others to do to them. Hereafter those who
quietly profess and teach these doctrines shall not be harassed or persecuted on
account of their faith. Any person, whether citizen of the United States or Chinese
convert, who, according to those tenets, peaceably teaches and practises the principles
of Christianity, shall in no case be interfered with or molested.
Art. XXX.-—The contracting parties hereby agree that should at any time the
Ta-Tsing Empire grant to any nation, or the merchants or citizens of any nation, any
right, privilege, or favour, connected either with navigation, commerce, political or
other intercourse, which is not conferred by this Treaty, such right, privilege, and
favour shall at once freely enure to the benefit of the United States, its public officers,
merchants, and citizens.
The present Treaty of Peace, Amity, and Commerce shall be ratified by the
President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,
within one year, or sooner, if possible, and by the August Sovereign of the Ta-Tsing
Empire forthwith; and the ratifications shall be exchanged within one year from the
date of the signature thereof.
In faith whereof we, the respective Plenipotentiaries of the United States of
America and of the Ta-Tsing Empire, as aforesaid, have signed and sealed these
presents.
Done at Tientsin, this eighteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight and the Independence of the United States
of America the eighty-second, and in the eighth year of Hien Fung, fifth moon, and

STATES AND CHINA
Signed, in the English and Chinese Languages, at Washington,
28th July, 1868
Ratifications Exchanged at PeMng, 23rd November, 1869
Whereas, since the conclusion of the Treaty between the United States of America1
and the Ta-Tsing Empire (China) of the 18th June, 1858, circumstances have
arisen showing the necessity of additional Articles thereto: the President of the
United States and the August Sovereign of the Ta-Tsing Empire have named for
their Plenipotentiaries: to wit, the President of the United States of America,
William R. Seward, Secretary of State; and His Majesty the Emperor of China,
Anson Burlingame, accredited as his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary, and Chih-kang and Sun-chia-ku, of the second Chinese rank, associated
high Envoys and Ministers of his said Majesty; and the said Plenipotentiaries, after
having exchanged their full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have agreed
upon the following Articles —
Art. I.—His Majesty the Emperor of China, being of the opinion that in making
concessions to the citizens or subjects of foreign Powers, of the privilege ©f residing
ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA 127
on certain tracts of land, or resorting to certain waters of that Empire, for purposes
of trade, lie has by no means relinquished his right of eminent domain or dominion
over the said lands and waters, hereby agrees that no such concession or grant shall
be construed to give to any Power or party which may be at war with or hostile to
the United States, the right to attack the citizens of the United States, or their
property, within the said lands or waters: And the United States for themselves
hereby agree to abstain from offensively attacking the citizens or subjects of any
Power or party, or their property, with which they may be at war, on any such tract
of land or water of the said Empire. But nothing in this Article shall be construed
to prevent the United States from resisting an attack by any hostile Power or party
upon their citizens or their property.
It is further agreed that if any right or interest in any tract of land in China,
has been, or shall hereafter be, granted by the Government of China to the United
States or their citizens for purposes of trade or commerce, that grant shall in no
event be construed to divest the Chinese Authorities of their right of jurisdiction
over persons and property within said tract of land except so far as the right may
have been expressly relinquished by Treaty.
Art. II.—The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of China,
believing that the safety and prosperity of commerce will thereby best be promoted,
agree that any privilege or immunity in respect to trade or navigation within the
Chinese dominions which may not have been stipulated for by Treaty, shall be subject
to the discretion of the Chinese Government, and may be regulated by it accordingly,
but not in a manner or spirit incompatible with the Treaty stipulations of the parties.
Art. III.—The Emperor of China shall have the right to appoint Consuls at
ports of the United States, who shall enjoy the same privileges and immunities as
those which are enjoyed by public law and Treaty in the United States by the Consuls
of Great Britain and Russia, or either of them.
Art. IV.—The 29th Article of the Treaty of the 18th June, 1858, having stipulated
for the exemption of the Christian citizens of the United States and Chinese converts
from persecution in China on account of their faith, it is further agreed that citizens
of the United States in China of every religious persuasion, and Chinese subjects in
the United States, shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience, and shall be exempt from
all disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either
country. Cemeteries for sepulture of the dead, of whatever nativity or nationality,
shall be held in respect and free from disturbance or profanation.
Art. V.—The United States of America and the Emperor of China cordially
recognize the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance,
and also the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigration of their citizens
and subjects respectively from the one country to the other for the purposes of curiosity,
of trade, or as permanent residents. The high contracting parties, therefore, join in
reprobating any other than an entirely voluntary emigration for these purposes.
They consequently agree to pass laws, making it a penal offence for a citizen of the
United States, or a Chinese subject, to take Chinese subjects either to the United
States or to any other foreign country; or for a Chinese subject or citizen of the
United States to take citizens of the United States to China, or to any other foreign
country, without their free and voluntary consent respectively.
Art. VI.—Citizens of the United States visiting or residing in China shall enjoy
the same privileges, immunities, or exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may
there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation. And,
reciprocally, Chinese subjects visiting or residing in the United States shall enjoy
the same privileges, immunities, and exemptions in respect to travel or residence as
may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation. But
nothing herein contained shall be held to confer naturalization upon citizens of the
United States in China, nor upon the subjects of China in the United States.
Art. VII.—Citizens of the United States shall enjoy all the privileges of the
public educational institutions under the control of the Government of China; and,
reciprocally, Chinese subjects shall enjoy all the privileges of the public educational
128 IMMIGRATION AND COMMERCIAL TREATIES BETWEEN THE U. S.& CHINA
institutions under the control of the Government of the United States, which are
enjoyed in the respective countries by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured
nation. The citizens of the United States may freely establish and maintain schools
within the Empire of China at those places where foreigners are by Treaty permitted
to reside; and, reciprocally, Chinese subjects may enjoy the same privileges and
immunities in the United States.
Art. VIII.—The United States, always disclaiming and discouraging all prac-
tices of unnecessary dictation and intervention by one nation in the affairs or domestic
administration of another, do hereby freely disclaim and disavow any intention or
right to intervene in the domestic administration of China in regard to the construc-
tion of railroads, telegraphs, or other material internal improvements. On the other
hand, His Majesty the Emperor of China reserves to himself the right to decide the
time and manner and circumstances of introducing such improvements within his
dominions. With this mutual understanding it is agreed by the contracting, parties
tnat, if at any time hereafter his Imperial Majesty shall determine to construct, or
cause to be constructed, works of the character mentioned within the Empire, and
shall make application to the United States or any other Western Power for facilities
to carry out that policy, the United States will in that case designate or authorize
suitable engineers to be employed by the Chinese Government, and will recommend
to other nations an equal compliance with such applications; the Chinese Government
in that case protecting such engineers in their persons and property, and paying,
them a reasonable compensation for their services.
In faith whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed this Treaty and
thereto affixed the seals of their arms.
Done at Washington, the twenty-eighth day of July, in the year of our Lord one-
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.

and Friendship was concluded between the United States of America and China, and
to which were added in the seventh year of Tung Chi, Anno Domini 1868, certains
supplementary Articles to the advantage of both parties, which supplementary Articles-
were to be perpetually observed and obeyed; and
Whereas the Government of the United States, because of the constantly in-
creasing immigration of Chinese labourers to the territory of the United States, and
the embarrassments consequent upon such immigration, now desires to negotiate a
modification of the existing Treaties which will not be in direct contravention of their
spirit; now, therefore, the President of the United States of America appoints James
B. Angell, of Michigan; John F. Swift, of California; and William H. Trescott, of
South Carolina, as bis Commissioners Plenipotentiary; and His Imperial Majesty
the Emperor of China has appointed Pao Chun, a member ofHis Imperial Majesty’s

Treaties, have agreed upon the following Articles in modification:—

coming of Chinese labourers to the United States, or their residence therein, affects,
or threatens to affect, the interests of that country, or to endanger the good order of
any locality within the territory thereof, the Government of China agrees that the
Government of the United States may regulate, limit, or suspend such coming or
residence, but may not absolutely prohibit it. The limitation or suspension shall be
reasonable, and shall apply only to Chinese who may go to the United States as
labourers, other classes not being included in the limitation. Legislation in regard
to Chinese labourers will be of such a character only as is necessary to enforce the
regulation, limitation, or suspension, of immigration, and immigrants shall not be
subject to personal maltreatment or abuse.
Art. II.-—Chinese subjects, whether proceeding to the United States as traders
or students, merchants, or from curiosity, together with their body and household
servants, and Chinese labourers who are now in the United States, shall be allowed
to go and come of their own free will and accord and shall be accorded all the rights,
privileges, immunities, and exemptions which are accorded to the citizens and subjects
of the most favoured nations.
Art. III.—If Chinese labourers, or Chinese of any other class, now either
permanently or temporarily residing in the territory of the United States, meet with
ill-treament at the hands of any other persons, the Government of the United States
will exert all its power to devise measures for their protection, and secure to them the
same rights, privileges, immunities and exemptions as may be enjoyed by the citizens
or subjects of the most favoured nation, and to which they are entitled by Treaty.
Art. IV.—The high contracting Powers, having agreed upon the foregoing
Articles, whenever the Government of the United States shall adopt legislative
measures in accordance therewith, such measures will be communicated to the
Government of China, and if the measures, as effected, are found to work hardship
upon the subjects of China, the Chinese Minister at Washington may bring the
matter to the notice of the Secretary of State of the United States, who will consider
the subject with him, and the Chinese Foreign Office may also bring the matter to
the notice of the U.S. Minister at Peking and consider the subject with him, to the
end that mutual and unqualified benefit may result. In faith whereof, the Plenipo-
tentiaries have signed and sealed the foregoing at Peking, in English and Chinese,
there being three originals of each text of even tenor and date, the ratifications of
which shall be exchanged at Peking within one year from the date of its execution.
Done at Peking, this 17th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty, Kuang Hsu sixth year, t^nth moon, fifteenth day.
Signed and sealed by the above-named Commissioners of both Governments.

F. Swift, of California; and William H. Trescott, of South Carolina, as his Com-

appointed Pao Chun, a member of His Imperial Majesty’s Privy Council and Super-

the most careful and favourable attention to the representations of either as such
special extension of commercial intercourse as either m ij desire.
Art. II.—The Governments of China and of the United States mutually agree
and undertake that Chinese subjects shall not be permitted to import opium in any
of the ports of the United States, and citizens of the United States shall not be
permitted to import opium into any of the open ports of China, or transport from one
open port to any other open port, or to buy and sell opium in any of the open ports in
China. This absolute prohibition, which extends to v ssels owned by the citizens
or subjects of either Power, to foreign vessels employed by them, or to vessels owned
by the citizens or subjects of either Power and employed by other persons for the
transportation of opium, shall be enforced by appropriate legislation on the part of
China and the United States, and the benefits of the favoured nation clauses in
existing Treaties shall not be claimed by the citizens or subjects of either Power as

ports or coastwise trade shall be imposed or levied in the open ports of China upon

factures, or merchandise imported in the same from the United States, or from any
foreign country, or upon the produce, manufactures, or merchandise exported in the
same to the United States, or any foreign country, or transported in the same from

trade to the ports of the United States, or returning therefrom either directly or by
way of any foreign port to any of the open ports of China, or upon the produce,
manufactures, or merchandise imported in the same from China, or from auy foreign
-country, than are imposed or levied on vessels of any other nations which make no
discrimination against the United States in tonnage dues or duties on imports,
-exports, or coastwise trade, than are imposed or levied on vessels and cargoes of

Art. IV.—When controversies arise in the Chinese Empire between citizens of
the United States and subjects of His Imperial Majesty, which need to be examined
and decided by the public officer of the two nations, it is agreed between the
Governments of the United States and China that such cases shall be tried by the
proper official of the nationality of the defendant. The properly authorized official
of the plaintiff’s nationality shall be freely permitted to attend the trial, and shall
be treated with the courtesy due to his position. He shall be granted all proper
facilities for watching the proceedings in the interest of justice, and if he so desire
he shall have the right to be present and to examine and to cross-examine witnesses.
If he is dissatisfied with the proceedings, he shall be permitted to protest against
them in debate. The law administered will be the law of the nationality of the officer
trying the case.
In faith whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed and sealed the
foregoing, at Peking, in English and Chinese, there being three originals of each text,
of even tenor and date, the ratifications of which shall be exchanged at Peking within
one year from the date of its execution.

Ratifications Exchanged at Washington, 7th December, 1894
Whereas, on the 17th of November, a.d. 1880, and of Kwang Hsu, the sixth
year, the tenth month, and the 15th day, a Treaty was concluded between the United
States and China for the purpose of regulating, limiting, or suspending the coming
of Chinese labourers to and their residence in the United States, and, whereas the
Government of China, in view of the antagonism and much deprecated and serious
disorders to which the presence of Chinese labourers has given rise in certain parts
of the United States, desires lo prohibit the emigration of such labourers from
China to the United States; and, whereas the two Governments desire to co-operate
in prohibiting such emigration and to strengthen in many other ways the bonds of
relationship between the two countries; and, whereas the two Governments are desirous
of adopting reciprocal measures for the better protection of the citizens or subjects
of each within the jurisdiction of the other; now, therefore, the President of the
United States has appointed Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State, as his
Plenipotentiary, and his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China has appointed
Yang Yui, Officer of ti e Second Kank, Sub-director of the Court of Sacrificial
Worship and Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and the said
Plenipotentiaries having exhibited their respective full powers, found to be in due
form and good faith, have agreed upon the following Articles:—
Art. I.—The high contracting parties agree that for a period of ten years
beginning with the date of the ratifications of this Convention, the coming, except
under the conditions hereinafter specified, of Chinese labourers to the United States
shall be absolutely prohibited.
Art. II.—The preceding Article shall not apply to the return to the United
States of any registered Chinese labourer who has a lawful wife, child, or parent in
the United States or property therein of the value of $1,000, or debts of like amount
due to him and pending settlement. Nevertheless, every such Chinese labourer
shall, before leaving the United States, deposit, as a condition of his return, with
the Collector of Customs of the district from which he departs, a full description in
writing of his family or property or debts as aforesaid, and shall be furnished by
the said Collector with such certificate of his right to return under this Treaty as
the laws of the United States may now or hereafter prescribe, and not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Treaty; and should the written description aforesaid be
proved to be false, the rights of return thereunder, or of continued residence after
return, shall in each case be forfeited. And such right of return to the United
States shall be exercised within one year from the date of leaving the United
States; but such right of return to the United States may be extended for an
additional period, not to exceed one year, in cases where by reason of sickness or
other cause of disability beyond his control such Chinese labourer shall be rendered
unable sooner to return, which facts shall be fully reported to the Chinese Consul
at the port of departure, and by him certified to the satisfaction of the Collector of
the port at which such Chinese subject shall land in the United States. And no

Art. III.—The provisions of the Convention shall not affect the right at present
enjoyed by Chinese subjects, being officials, teachers, students, merchants, or
travellers for curiosity or pleasure, but not labourers, of coming to >the' United
States and residing therein. To entitle such Chinese subjects as are above described
to admission into the United States they may produce a certificate either from their
Government or from the Government of the country where they last resided, vised
by the diplomatic or consular representative of the United States in the country or
port whence they depart. It is also agreed that Chinese labourers shall continue
to enjoy the privilege of transit across the territory of the United States in the
-course of their journey to or from other countries, subject to such regulations by
the Government of the United States as may be necessary to prevent the said
privilege of transit from being abused.
Art. IY.—In pursuance of Article III. of the Immigration Treaty between the
United States and China, signed at Peking on the 17th day of November, 1880, it is
hereby understood and agreed, that Chinese labourers or Chinese of any other class,
either permanently or temporarily residing in the United States, shall have for the
protection of their persons and property all rights that are given by the laws of the
United States to citizens of the more favoured nations, excepting the right to
become naturalized citizens. And the Government of the United States reaffirms
its obligations, as stated in the said Article III., to exert all its power to secure the
protection to person and property of all Chinese subjects in the United States.
Art. Y.—The Government of the United States having, by an Act of Congress,
approved May 5th, 1892, as amended and approved November 3rd, 1893, required all
Chinese labourers lawfully within the United States, before the passage of the
first-named Act, to be registered, as in the said Acts provided, with a view of
affording them better protection, the Chinese Government will not object to the
•enforcement of the said Acts, and reciprocally the Government of the United States
recognises the right of the Government of China to enact and enforce similar laws
and regulations, for the registration, free of charge of all labourers, skilled or
unskilled (not merchants, as defined by the said Acts of Congress), citizens of the
United States in China whether residing within or without the Treaty Ports. And
the Government of the United States agrees that within twelve months from the
date of the exchange of the ratifications of this Convention, and annually thereafter,
it will furnish to the Government of China registers or reports showing the full
name, age, occupation, and number or place of residence of all other citizens of the
United States, including missionaries residing both within and without the Treaty
Ports of China, not including, however, diplomatic and other officers of the United
States residing or travelling in China upon official business, together with their
body and household servants.
Art. VI. —This Convention shall remain in force for a period of ten years,
beginning with the date of the exchange of ratifications, and if six months before
the expiration of the said period of ten years neither Government shall have formally
given notice of its final termination to the other, it shall remain in full force for
another like period of ten years.
In faith whereof, we, the respective Plenipotentiaries, have signed this
Convention and have hereunto affixed our seals.

view of the provisions of the first paragraph of Article XI. of the Einal Protocol
signed at Peking on the 7th day of September, a.d. 1901, whereby the Chinese Gov-
ernment agreed to negotiate tho amendments deemed necessary by the foreign
Governments to the Treaties of Commerce and Navigation and other subjects concern-
ing commercial relations, with the Object of facilitating them, have for that purpose
named as their Plenipotentiaries:—
The United States of America, Edwin H. Conger, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to China; John Goodnow,
Consul-General of the United States of America at Shanghai, John F. Seaman, a
Citizen of the United States of America resident at Shanghai;
And His Majesty the Emperor of China, Lu Pai-huan, President of the Board
of Public Works: Sheng Hsuan-huai, Junior Guardian of the Heir Apparent,
formerly Senior Vice-President of the Board of Public Works; Wu Ting Fang,

Who, having met and duly exchanged their fall powers, which were found to be
in proper form, nave agreed upon the following amendments to existing Treaties of
Commerce and Navigation previously concluded between the two countries, and upon
the subjects hereinafter expressed connected with commercial relations, with the
object of facilitating them.
Art. L—In accordance with international custom, and as the diplomatic
representative of China has the right to reside in the Capital of the United States,
and to enjoy there the same prerogatives, privileges and immunities as are enjoyed
by the similar representative of the most favoured nation, the diplomatic representa-
tive of the United States shall have the right to reside at the capital of His Majesty
the Emperor of China. He shall be given audience of His Majesty the Emperor
whenever necessary to present his letters of credence or any communication from the
President of the United States. At all such times he shall be received in a place
and in a manner befitting his high position, and on all such occasions the ceremonial
observed toward him shall be that observed toward the representatives of nations on
a footing of equality, with no loss of prestige on either side.
The diplomatic representatives of the United States shall enjoy all the preroga-
tives, privileges and immunities accorded by international usage to such representatives,
and shall in all respects be entitled to the treatment extended to similar representatives
of the most favoured nation.
The English text of all notes or despatches from United States officials to
Chinese officials, and the Chinese text of all notes or despatches from Chinese officials
to United States officials shall be authoritative.
Art. II.—As China may appoint consular officers to reside in the United States
and to enjoy there the same attributes, privileges and immunities as are enjoyed by
consular officers of other nations, the United States may appoint, as its interests may
134. COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA
require, consular officers to reside at the places in the Empire of China that are now
or that may hereafter be opened to foreign residence and trade. They shall hold
direct official intercourse and correspondence with the local officers of the Chinese
Government within their consular districts, either personally or in writing as the case
may require, on terms of equality and reciprocal respect. These officers shall be
treated with proper respect by all Chinese authorities, and they shall enjoy all the
attributes, privileges and immunities, and exercise all the jurisdiction over their
nationals which are or may hereafter be extended to similar officers of the nation the
most favoured in these respects. If the officers of either Government are disrespect-
fully treated or aggrieved in any way by the authorities of the other, they shall have
the right to make representation of the same to the superior officers of their owns
Government, who shall see that fall inquiry and strict justice be had in the premises.
And the said consular officers of either nation shall carefully avoid all acts of offence
to the officers and people of the other nation.
On the arrival of a Consul properly accredited at any place in China opened to
foreign trade, it shall be the duty of the Minister of the United States to inform the
Board of Foreign Affairs, which shall, in accordance with international usage, forth-
with cause the due recognition of the said Consul and grant him authority to act.
Art. III.—Citizens of the United States may frequent, reside, and carry on trade,
industries and manufactures, or pursue any lawful avocation, in all the ports or
localities of China which are now open or may hereafter be opened to foreign trade
and residence; and, within the suitable localities'at those places which have been or
may be set apart for the use and occupation of foreigners, they may rent or purchase
houses, places of business and other buildings, and rent or lease in perpetuity land
and build thereon. They shall generally enjoy as to their persons and property all
such rights, privileges and immunities as are or may hereafter be granted to the
subjects or citizens of the nation the most favoured in these respects.
Art. IY.—The Chinese Government, recognising that the existing system of
levying dues on goods in transit, and especially the system of taxation known as
lekin, impedes the free circulation of commodities to the general injury of trade,
hereby undertakes to abandon the levy of lekin and all other transit dues throughout
the empire and to abolish the offices, stations and barriers maintained for their
collection and not to establish other offices for levying dues on goods in transit.
It is clearly understood that, after the offices, stations and barriers for taxing goods
in transit have been abolished, no attempt shall be made to re-establish them in any
form or under any pretext whatsoever.
The Government of the United States, in return, consents to allow a surtax, in
excess of the tariff rates for the time being in force, to be imposed on foreign goods
imported by citizens of the United States and on Chinese produce destined for export
abroad or coastwise. It is clearly understood that in no case shall the surtax on.
foreign imports exceed one and one-half times the import duty leviable in terms of
the final Protocol signed by China and the Powers on the seventh day of September,
a.d. 1901; that the payment of the import duty and surtax shall secure for foreign
imports, whether in the hands of Chinese or foreigners, in original packages or other-
wise, complete immunity from all other taxation, examination or delay; that the total
amount of taxation, inclusive of the tariff export duty leviable on native produce for
export abroad shall, under no circumstances, exceed seven and one-half per cent.

where there ar of China embracing the nineteen Provinces and the three Eastern Provinces.
Wherever there are offices of the Imperial Maritime Customs, or wherever such
may be hereafter placed, native Customs offices may also be established, as well as at
any point either on the seaboard or land frontiers.
The Government of the United States agrees that foreign goods on importa-
tion, in addition to the effective five per cent, import duty as provided for in the
Protocol of 1901, shall pay a special surtax of one and one-half times the amount of
the said duty to compensate for the abolition of leTcin, of other transit dues besides
lekin, and of all other taxation on foreign goods and in consideration of the other
reforms provided for in this Article.
The Chinese Government may re-cast the foreign export tariff with specific
duties as far as practicable, on a scale not exceeding five per cent, ad valorem; but
existing export duties shall not be raised until at least six months’ notice has been
given. In cases where existing export duties are above five per cent., they shall
be reduced to not more than that rate. An additional special surtax of one-half the
■export duty payable for the time being, in lieu of internal taxation of all kinds, may
be levied at the place of original shipment, or at the time of export on goods exported
either to foreign countries or coastwise.
Foreign goods which bear a similarity to native goods shall be furnished by the
Customs officers, if required by the owner, with a protective certificate for each pack-
age, on the payment of import duty and surtax, to prevent the risk of any dispute in
the interior.
Native goods brought by junks to open ports, if intended for local consumption,
irrespective of the nationality of the owner of the goods, shall be reported at the
native Customs offices only, to be dealt with according to the fiscal regulations of the
Chinese Government.
Machine-made cotton yarn and cloth manufactured in China, whether by foreigners
at the open ports or by Chinese anywhere in China, shall as regards taxation be
on a footing of perfect equality. Such goods upon payment of the taxes thereon
shall be granted a rebate of the import duty and of two-thirds of the import surtax
■paid on the cotton used in their manufacture, if it has been imported from abroad,
and of all duties paid thereon if it be Chinese grown cotton. They shall also be free
of export duty, coast-trade duty and export surtax. The same principle and pro-
•cedure shall be applied to all other products of foreign type turned out by machinery
in China.
A member or members of the Imperial Maritime Customs foreign staff shall be
selected by the Governors-General and Governors of each of the various provinces of
the Empire for their respective provinces, and appointed in consultation with the
Inspector-General of Imperial Maritime Customs, for duty in connection with native
•Customs affairs to have a general supervision of their working.
Cases where illegal action is complained of by citizens of the United States shall
be promptly investigated by an officer of the Chinese Government of sufficiently high
rank, in conjunction with an officer of the United States Government, and an officer
of the Imperial Maritime Customs, each of sufficient standing; and, in the event of
it beyig found by the investigating officers that the complaint is well founded and
loss has been incurred, due compensation shall be paid through the Imperial Mari-
time Customs. The high provincial officials shall be held responsible that the officer
guilty of the illegal action shall he severely punished and removed from his post. If
the complaint is shown to be frivolous or malicious, the complainant shall be held
responsible for the expenses of the investigation.
When the ratifications of this Treaty shall have been exchanged by the high
-contracting parties hereto, and the provisions of this Article shall have been accepted
by the Powers having Treaties with China, then a date shall be agreed upon when
the provisions of this Article shall take effect, and an Imperial Edict shall be
published in due form on yellow paper and circulated throughout the Empire of
China setting forth the abolition of all lekin taxation, duties on goods in transit,
COMMERCIAL TREA.TY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA
offices, stations and barriers for collecting the same, and of all descriptions of internal
taxation on foreign goods, and the imposition of the surtax on the,import of foreign
goods and on the export of native goods, and the other fiscal changes and reforms
provided for in this Article, all of which shall take effect from the said date. The
Edict shall state that the provincial high officials are responsible that any official
disregarding the letter or the spirit of its injunction shall be severely punished and
removed from his post.
Art. V.—The tariff duties to be paid by citizens of the United States on goods
imported into China shall be as set forth in the schedule annexed hereto and made
part of this Treaty, subject only to such amendment and changes as are authorised
by Article IV. of the present Convention, or as may hereafter be agreed upon by the
present high contracting parties. It is expressly agreed, however, that citizens of
the United States shall at no time pay other or higher duties than those paid by the
citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation.
Conversely, Chinese subjects shall not pay higher duties on their imports into the
United States than those paid by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation.
Art. VI.—The Government of China agrees to the establishment by citizens of the
United States of warehouses approved by the proper Chinese authorities as bonded
warehouses at the several open ports of China, for storage, re-packing, or preparation
for shipment of lawful goods, subject to such needful regulations for the protection
of the revenue of China, including a reasonable scale of fees according to com-
modities, distance from the Custom-house, and hours of working, as shall be made
from time to time by the proper officers of the Government of China.
Art. VII.—The Chinese Government, recognising that it is advantageous for
the country to develop its mineral resources, and that it is desirable to attract foreign
as well as Chinese capital to embark in mining enterprises, agrees, within one year
from the signing of this Treaty, to initiate and conclude the revision of the existing
mining regulations. To this end China will, with all expedition and earnestness, go
into the whole question of mining rules; and, selecting from the rules of the United
States and other countries, regulations which seem applicable to the condition of
China, will recast its present mining rules in such a way as, while promoting the
interests of Chinese subjects and not injuring in any way the sovereign rights of
China, will offer no impediment to the attraction of foreign capital nor place foreign
capitalists at a greater disadvantage than they would be under generally accepted
foreign regulations ; and will permit citizens of the United States to carry on in
Chinese territory mining operations and other necessary business relating thereto,
provided they comply with the new regulations and conditions which may be imposed
by China on its subjects and foreigners alike, relating to the opening of mines, the
renting of mineral land, and the payment of royalty, and provided they apply for
permits, the provisions of which in regard to necessary business relating to such
operations shall be observed. The residence of citizens of the United States in
connection with such mining operations shall be subject to such regulations as shall
be agreed upon between the United States and China.
Any mining concession granted after the publication of such new rules shall be
subject to their provisions.
Art. VIII.—Drawback certificates for the return of duties shall be issued by the
Imperial Maritime Customs to citizens of the United States within three weets of
the presentation to the Customs of the papers entitling the applicant to receive such
drawback certificates, and they shall be receivable at their face value in payment of
duties of all kinds (tonnage dues excepted) at the port of issue; or shall, in the case
of drawbacks on foreign goods re-exported within three years from the date of
importation,

from Chinese territory, then the Consul shall inflict on the guilty party a fine to be
paid to the Chinese Government.
Art. IX.—Whereas the United States undertakes to protect the citizens of any
country in the exclusive use within the United States of any lawful trade-marks,
provided that such country agrees by Treaty or Convention to give like protection to
citizens of the United States :—
Therefore the Government of China, in order to secure such protection in the
United States for its subjects, now agrees to fully protect any citizen, firm or corpora-
tion of the United States in the exclusive use in the Empire of China of any lawful
trade-mark to the exclusive use of which they are entitled in the United States, or
which they have adopted and used, or intend to adopt and use as soon as registered,
for exclusive use within the Empire of China. To this end the Chinese Government
agrees to issue by its proper authorites proclamations having the force of law, for-
bidding all subjects of China from infringing on, imitating, colourably imitating, or
knowingly passing off an imitation of trade-marks belonging to citizens of the United
States, which shall have been registered by the proper authorities of the United States
at such offices as the Chinese Government will establish for such purpose, on payment
of a reasonable fee, after due investigation by the Chinese authorities, and in com-
pliance with reasonable regulations.
Art. X.—The United States Government allows subjects of China to patent theii
inventions in the United States and protects them in the use and ownership of such
patents. The Government of China now agrees that it will establish a Patent Office.
After this office has been established and special laws with regard to inventions have
been adopted it will thereupon, after the payment of the legal fees, issue certificates
of protection, valid for a fixed term of years, to citizens of the United States on all
their patents issued by the United States, in respect of articles the sale of which is
lawful in China, which do not infringe on previous inventions of Chinese subjects,
in the same manner as patents are to be issued to subjects of China.
Art. XI.—Whereas the Government of the United States engages to give the
benefits of its copyright laws to the citizens of any foreign State which gives to the
citizens of the United States the benefits of copyrights on an equal basis with its own
citizens:—
Therefore the Government of China, in order to secure such benefits in the United
States for its subjects, now agrees to give full protection, in the same way and
manner and subject to the same conditions upon which it agrees to protect trade-
marks, to all citizens of the United States who are authors, designers or proprietors
of any book, map, print or engraving especially prepared for the use and education
of the Chinese people, or translation into Chinese of any book, in the exclusive right
to print and sell such book, map, print, engraving or translation in the Empire of
■ China during ten years from the date of registration. With the exception of the
books, maps, etc., specified above, which may not be reprinted in the same form, no
work shall be entitled to copyright privileges under this Article. It is understood that
Chinese subjects shall be at liberty to make, print and sell original translations into
Chinese of any works written or of maps compiled by a citizen of the United States.
This Article shall not be held to protect against due process of law any citizen of the
United States or Chinese subject who may be author, proprietor or seller of any
publication calculated to injure the well-being of China.
Art. XII.—The Chinese Government having in 1898 opened the navigable
Inland waters of the Empire to commerce by all steam vessels, native or foreign, that
may be specially registered for the purpose, for the conveyance of passengers and
lawful merchandise, citizens, firms and corporations of the United States may engage
in such commerce on equal terms with those granted to subjects of any foreign Power.
In case either party hereto considers it advantageous at any time that the rules
and regulations then in existence for such commerce be altered or amended, the
'Chinese Government agrees to consider amicably, and to adopt such modifications
thereof as are found necessary for trade and for the benefit of China
138 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA
The Chinese Government agrees that, upon the exchange of the ratifications of
this Treaty, Mukden and Antung, both in the province of Sheng-king, will be opened
by China itself as places of international residence and trade. The selection of
fitting localities to be set apart for international use and occupation, and the regula-
tions for these places set apart for foreign residence and trade shall be agreed upon
by the Governments of the United States and China after consultation together.
Art. XIII.—China agrees to take the necessary steps to provide for a uniform
national coinage which shall be legal tender in payment of all duties, taxes and other
obligations throughout the Empire of China by the citizens of the United States as
well as Chinese subjects. It is understood, however, that all Customs duties shall
continue to be calculated and paid bn the basis of the Haikuan Tael.
Art. XIY.—The principles of the Christian religion, as professed by the Pro-
testant and Roman Catholic Churches, are recognised as teaching men to do good
and to do to others as they would have others do to them. Those who quietly pro-
fess and teach these doctrines shall not be harassed or persecuted on account of their
faith. Any person, whether citizen of the United States or Chinese convert, who,
according to these tenets, peaceably teaches and practises the principles of Chris-
tianity shall in no case be interfered with or molested therefor. No restrictions shall
be placed on Chinese joining Christian Churches. Converts and non-converts, being
Chinese subjects, shall alike conform to the laws of China; and shall pay due respect
to those in authority, living together ixi peace and amity; and the fact of being con-
verts shall not protect them from the consequences of any offence they may have com-
mitted before or may commit after their admission into the Church, or exempt them
from paying legal taxes levied on Chinese subjects generally, except taxes levied and
contributions for the support of religious customs and practices contrary to their
religion. Missionaries shall not interfere with the exercise by the native authorities
of their jurisdiction over Chinese subjects; nor shall the native authorities make any
distinction between converts and non-converts, but shall administer the laws without
partiality so that both classes can live together in peace.
Missionary societies of the United States shall be permitted to rent and to lease
in perpetuity, as the property of such societies, buildings or lands in all parts of the
Empire for missionary purposes and, after the title deeds have been found in order
and duly stamped by the local authorities, to erect such suitable buildings as may be
required for carrying on their good work.
Art. XY.—The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform
its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of Western nations, the
United States agrees to give every assistance to this reform, and will also be prepared to
relinquish extraterritorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the
arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in so doing.
Art. XYI.—The Government of the United States consents to the prohibition
by the Government of China of the importation into China of morphia and of instru-
ments for its injection, excepting morphia and instruments for its injection imported
for medical purposes, on payment of tariff duty, and under regulations to be framed
by China which shall effectually restrict the use of such import to the said purposes.
This prohibition shall be uniformly applied to such importation from all countries.
The Chinese Government engages to adopt at once measures to prevent the manu-
facture in China of morphia and of instruments for its injection.
Art. XYII.—It is agreed between the high contracting parties hereto that all
the provisions of the several Treaties between the United States and China which
were in force on the first day of January, a.d. 1900, are continued in full force and
effect except in so far as they are modified by the present Treaty or other Treaties to
which the United States is a party.
The present Treaty shall remain in force for a period of ten years beginning with
the date of the exchange of ratifications and until a revision is effected as hereinafter
provided.
It is further agreed that either of the high contracting parties may demand
that the Tariff and the Articles of this Convention be revised at the end of ten years
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA 139
from the date of the exchange of the ratifications hereof. If no revision is demanded
before the end of the first term of ten years, then these articles in their present form
shall remain in full force for a further term of ten years reckoned from the end of
the first term and so on for successive periods of ten years.
The English and Chinese texts of the present Treaty and its three Annexes have
been carefully compared; but, in the event of there being any difference of meaning
between them, the sense as expressed in the English text shall be held to be the
correct one.
This Treaty and its three Annexes shall be ratified by the two high contracting
r-ties in conformity with their respective constitutions, and the ratifications shall
exchanged in Washington not later than twelve months from the present date.
In testimony whereof, we, the undersigned, by virtue of our respective powers,
have signed this Treaty in duplicate in the English and Chinese languages, and have
affixe ’
October in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and three, and in the twenty-ninth year of Kuang Hsu eighth
month and eighteenth day.
Annex I.
As citizens of the United States are already forbidden by Treaty to deal in or
handle opium, no mention has been made in this Treaty of opium taxation.
As the trade in salt is a Government monopoly in China, no mention has been
made in this Treaty of salt taxation.
It is, however, understood, after full discussion and consideration, that the col-
lection of inland duties on opium and salt and the means for the protection of the
revenue therefrom and for preventing illicit traffic therein are left to be administered
by the Chinese Government in such manner as shall in no wise interfere with the
provision of Article IY. of this Treaty regarding the unobstructed transit of other
goods.
Annex II.
Article IY. of the Treaty of Commerce between the United States and China of this
date provides for the retention of the native Customs offices at the open ports. For the
purpose of safeguarding the revenue of China at such places, it is understood that the
Chinese Government shall be entitled to establish and maintain such branch native
Customs offices at each open port within a reasonable distance of the main native
Customs offices at the port, as shall be deemed by the authorities of the Imperial
Maritime Customs at that port necessary to collect the revenue from the trade into
and out of such port. Such branches, as well as the principal native Customs offices
at each open port, shall be administered by the Imperial Maritime Customs as pro-
vided by the Protocol of 1901.
Annex III.
The schedule of tariff duties on imported goods annexed to this Treaty under
Article Y. is hereby mutually declared to be the schedule agreed upon between the
representatives of China and of the United States and signed by John Goodnow for
the United States and Their Excellencies Lii Hai-huan and Sheng Hsiian-huai for
China at Shanghai on the sixth day of September, a.d. 1902, according to the Proto-
col of the seventh day of September, a.d. 1901.

TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINA 141
Art. III.—Portugal confirms the third Article of the Protocol of Lisbon, relating,
to the engagement never to alienate Macao without previous agreement with China.
Art. XV.—Portugal agrees to co-operate with China in the collection of duties on
opium exported from Macao into China ports, in the same way and as long as England
co-operates with China in the collection of duties on opium exported from Hongkong.
The basis of this co-operation will be established by a Convention appended to
this Treaty, which shall be as valid and binding to both the high contracting parties
as the present Treaty.
Art. V.—His Most Faithful Majesty the King of Portugal may appoint an.
Ambassador, Minister, or other diplomatic agent to the Court of His Im-
perial Majesty the Emperor of China, and this agent, as well as the persons of his
suite and their families, will be permitted, at the option of the Portuguese Govern-
ment, to reside permanently in Peking, to visit that Court, or to reside at any other
place where such residence is equally accorded to the diplomatic representative of other
nations. The Chinese Government may also, if it thinks fit, appoint an Ambassador^
Minister, or other diplomatic agent to reside at Lisbon, or to visit that Court when
his Government shall order.
Art. VI.—The diplomatic agents of Portugal and China shall reciprocally enjoy
in the place of their residence all the prerogatives and immunities accorded by the
laws of nations; their persons, families, and houses, as well as their correspondence
shall be inviolate.

the Chinese authorities shall be written in the Portuguese language accompanied by
a translation in Chinese, and each nation shall regard as authoritative the document
written in its own language.
Art. VIII.—The form of correspondence between the Portuguese and the Chi-
nese authorities will be regulated by their respective rank and position, based upon
complete reciprocity. Between the high Portuguese and Chinese functionaries at the
capital or elsewhere, such correspondence will take the form of dispatch (Chau-hoei);
between the subordinate functionaries of Portugal and the chief authorities of the
provinces, the former shall make use of the form of exposition (Xen-chen) and the
latter that of declaration (Cha-hsing) ; and the subordinate officers of both nations
shall correspond together on terms of perfect equality. Merchants and generally all

Art. IX.—His Most Faithful Majesty the King of Portugal may appoint
Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, or Consular Agents in the ports or
other places Vhere it is allowed to other nations to have them. These functionaries

and will enjoy all the exemptions, privileges, and immunities which at any time the
consular functionaries of the most favoured nation may enjoy.
The Consuls and the local authorities will show to each other reciprocal civilities
and correspond with each other on terms of perfect equality.
The Consuls and acting Consuls will rank with Taotais, Vice-Consuls, acting
Vice-Consuls, Consular Agents and interpreters-translators, with Prefects. 'Ihe
Consuls must be officials of the Portuguese Government, and not merchants. The
Chinese Government will make no objection in case the Portuguese Government
should deem it unnecessary to appoint an official Consul at any port and choose to
entrust a Consul of some other nation, for the time being, with the duties of Portu-
guese Consul at that port.
Art. X.—All the immunities and privileges, as well as all the advantages con-
cerning commerce and navigation, such as any reduction in the duties of navigation,
importation, exportation, transit or any other, which may have been or may be here-
after granted by China to any other State or to its subjects, will be immediately extended
to Portugal and its subjects. If any concession is granted by the Chinese Govern-
ment to any foreign Government under special conditions, Portugal, on claiming the
142 TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINa.
same concession for herself and for her own subjects, will equally assent to the condi-
tions attached to it.
Art XE.—Portuguese subjects are allowed to reside at, or frequent, the ports of
China opened to foreign commerce and there carry on trade or employ themselves
freely. Their boats may navigate without hindrance between the ports open to foreign
commerce, and they may import and export their merchandise, enjoying all the rights
and privileges enjoyed by the subjects of the most favoured nation.
Art. XII.—Portuguese subjects shall pay import and export duties on all mer-
chandise according to the rates specified in the tariff of 1858, adopted for all the other
nations; and in no instance shall higher duties be exacted from them than those paid
by the subjects of any other foreign nation.
Art. XIII.—Portuguese subjects are permitted to hire any description of boats
they may require for the conveyance of cargo or passengers, and the price of said hire
will be fixed by the contracting parties alone, without interference by the Chinese
Government. No limit shall be put to the number of boats, neither will it be per-

employed in the carriage of merchandise.
Should contraband articles be on board any such boats, the guilty parties shall
immediately be punished according to law.
Art. XIV.—Portuguese subjects residing in the open ports may take into their
service Chinese subjects, and employ them in any lawful capacity in China, without
■restraint or hindrance from the Chinese Government; but shall not engage them for
foreign countries in contravention of the laws of China.
Art. XV.—The Chinese authorities are bound to grant the fullest protection to
the persons and to the property of Portuguese subjects in China, whenever they may
be exposed to insult or wrong. In case of robbery or incendiarism, the local autho-
rities will immediately take the necessary measures to recover the stolen property, to
terminate the disorder, to seize the guilty, and punish them according to the law.
■Similar protection will be given by Portuguese authorities to Chinese subjects in the
1 ossessions of Portugal.
Art. XVI.—Whenever a Portuguese subject intends to build or open houses,
shops or warehouses, churches, hospitals, or cemeteries, at the Treaty ports or at
other places, the purchase, rent, or lease of these properties shall be made out accord-
ing to the current terms of the place, with equity, without exaction on either side,
without offending against the usages of the people, and after due notice given by the
proprietors to the local authority. It is understood, however, that the shops or ware-
houses above mentioned shall only be allowed at the ports open to trad§, and not in
any place in the interior.
Art. XVII.—Portuguese subjects conveying merchandise between open ports
shall be required to take certificates from the Superintendent of Customs such as
are specified in the regulations in force with reference to other naliqnalities.
But Portuguese subjects, who, without carrying merchandise, would like to go
to the interior of China, must have passports issued by their Consuls and connter-
signed by the local authorities. The bearer of the passport must produce the same
when demanded, and the passport not being irregular, he will be allowed to proceed
and no opposition shall be offered, especially to his hiring persons or vessels for the
carriage of his baggage or merchandise.
If he be without a passport, or if he commits any offence against the law, he
shall be handed over to the nearest Consul of Portugal to be punished, but he must
not be subjected to an oppressive measure. No passport need be applied for by
persons going on excursions from the ports open to trade to a distance not exceeding
100 li and for a period not exceeding five days.
The provisions of this Article do not apply to crews of ships, for the due restraint
of whom regulations will be drawn up by the Consul and the local authorities.

by pirates or thieves within Chinese waters, the Chinese authorities are to employ
TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINA 14*
their utmost exertions to seize and punish the said robbers and to recover the stolen
goods, which, through the Consul, shall be restored to whom they belong.
Art. XIX.—If a Portuguese vessel be shipwrecked on the coast of China, or be
compelled to take refuge in any of the ports of the Empire, the Chinese authorities^
on receiving notice of the fact, shall provide the necessary protection, affording
prompt assistance and kind treatment to the crews and, if necessary, furnishing them
with the means to reach the nearest Consulate.
Art. XX.—Portuguese merchant vessels of more than one hundred and fifty
tons burden will pay tonnage dues at the rate of four mace per ton ; if of one hundred
and fifty tons and under they shall be charged at the rate of one mace per ton. The
Superintendent of Customs shall grant a certificate declaring that the tonnage dues
have been paid.
Art. XXL—Import duties shall be paid on the landing of goods; and export
duties upon the shipment of the same.
Art. XXII.—The captain of a Portuguese ship may, when he deems convenient,
land only a part of his cargo at one of the open ports, paying the duties due on the
portion landed, the duties on the remainder not being payable until they are landed
at some other port.
Art. XXIII.—The master of a Portuguese ship has the option, within forty-
eight hours of his arrival at any of the open ports of China, but not later, to decide
•whether he will leave port without opening the hatches, and in such case he will not
have to pay tonnage dues. He is bound, however, to give notice of his arrival for
the legal registering as soon as he comes into port, under penalty of being fined in
case of non-compliance within the term of two days.
The ship will be subject to tonnage dues forty-eight hours after her arrival in
port, but neither then nor at her departure shall any other impost whatsoever be
exacted.
Art. XXIV.—All small vessels employed by Portuguese subjects in carrying
passengers, baggage, letters, provisions or any other cargo which is free of duty,
between the open ports of China, shall be free from tonnage dues; but all such vessels
carrying merchandise subject to duty shall pay tonnage dues every four months at
the rate of one mace per ton.
Art. XXV.—Portuguese merchant vessels approaching any of the open ports
will be at liberty to take a pilot to reach the harbour; and likewise to take a pilot to
leave it, in case the said ship shall have paid all the duties due by her.
Art. XXVI.—Whenever a Portuguese merchant ship shall arrive at any of the
open ports of China, the Superintendent of Customs will send off one or more
Custom-house officers, who may stay on board of their boat or on board of the ship
as best suits their convenience. These officers will get their food and all necessaries
from the Custom-house, and will not be allowed to accept any fee from the captain
of the ship or from the consignee, being liable to a penalty proportionate to the
amount received by them.
Art. XXVII.—Twenty-four hours after the arrival of a Portuguese merchant
ship at any of the open ports, the papers of the ship, manifest, and other documents,
shall be handed over to the Consul, whose duty it will be also to report to the
Superintendent of Customs within twenty-four hours, the name, the registered
tonnage, and the cargo brought by the said vessel. If, through negligence or for
any other motive, this stipulation be not complied with within forty-eight hours
after the arrival of the ship, the captain shall be subject to a fine of fifty Taels for
each day’s delay over and above that period, but the total amount of the fine shall
not exceed two hundred Taels.
The captain of the ship is responsible for the correctness of the manifest, in
which the cargo shall be minutely and truthfully described, subject to a fine of five
hundred Taels as penalty in case the manifest should be found incorrect. This fine,
however, will not be incurred if, within twenty-four hours after the delivery of the
manifest to the Custom-house officers, the captain expressed the wish to rectify any
error which may have been discovered in the said manifest.
144 TEEATY BETWEEN POETUGAL AND CHINA
Art. XXVIII.—The Superintendent of Customs will permit the discharging of
the ship as soon as he shall have received from the Consul the report drawn up in due
form. If the captain of the ship should take upon himself to commence discharging
without permission, he shall be fined five hundred Taels and the goods so discharged

Art. XXXI.—When a ship shall have paid all her duties, the Superintendent
-of Customs will grant her a certificate and the Consul will return the papers, in order
that she may proceed on her voyage.
Art. XXXII.—When any doubt may arise as to the value of goods which by the
Tariff are liable to an ad valorem duty, and the Portuguese merchants disagree with
the Custom-house officers as regards the value of said goods, both. parties will call
two or three merchants to examine them, and the highest offer made by any of the
said merchants to buy the goods will be considered as their just value.
Art. XXXIII.—Duties will be paid on the net weight of every kind of merchandise.
Should there be any difference of opinion between the Portuguese merchant and the
Custom-house officer as to the mode by which the tare is to be fixed, each party will
choose a certain number of boxes or bales from among every hundred packages of
the goods in question, taking the gross weight of said packages, then the tare of each
of the packages separately, and the average tare resulting therefrom will be adopted
for the whole parcel.
In case of any doubt or dispute not mentioned herein, the Portuguese merchant
may appeal to the Consul, who will refer the case to the Superintendent of Customs;
this officer will act in such a manner as to settle the question amicably. The appeal,
however, will only be entertained if made within the term of twenty-four hours ; and
in such a case no entry is to be made in the Custom-house books in relation to the
said goods until the question shall have been settled.
Art. XXXIV.—Damaged goods will pay a reduced duty proportionate to their
■deterioration; any doubt on this point will be solved in the way indicated in the
clause of this Treaty with respect to duties payable on merchandise ad valorem.
Art. XXXV.—Any Portuguese merchant who, having imported foreign goods
into one of the open ports of China and paid the proper duties thereon, may wish to
re-export them to another of the said ports, will have to send to the Superintendent
of Customs an account of them, who, to avoid fraud, will direct his officers to examine
whether or not the duties have been paid, whether the same have been entered on the
books of the Customs, whether they retain their original marks, and whether the
entries agree with the account sent in. Should everything be found correct, the same
will be stated in the export permit together with the total amount of duties paid, and
all these particulars will be communicated to the Custom-house officers at other ports.

Should any Portuguese merchant wish to re-export to a foreign country any

which are declared open to commerce. It is forbidden to them, except in the case of

be subject to confiscation of his ship and cargo by the Chinese Government.
Art. XLIII.—All Portuguese vessels despatched from one of the open ports of

Chinese authorities, who may send the ship away from the port, after settlement of
all her accounts, and prohibit her to continue to trade.

the exception of the Chinese criminals who take refuge in Macao, and foi whose
extradition the Governor of Macao will continue to follow the existing practice, after
the receipt of a due requisition from the Viceroy of the Kwangs, it is agreed that,
in the Chinese ports open to foreign trade, the Chinese criminals who take refuge at
the houses or on board ships of Portuguese subjects shall be arrested and delivered
to the Chinese authorities on their applying to the Portuguese Consul; and likewise
the Portuguese criminals who take refuge in China shall be arrested and delivered
to the Portuguese authorities on their applying to the Chinese authorities; and by
neither of the parties shall the criminals be harboured nor shall there be delay in
delivering them.
Art. XLVI.—It is agreed that either of the high contracting parties to this
Treaty may demand a revision of the Tariff, and of the commercial Articles of this
Treaty, at the end of ten years; but if no demand be made on either side within six
months after the end of the first ten years, then the Tariff shall remain in force for
ten years more, reckoned from the end of the preceding ten years ; and so it shall be,

Art. XLVII.—All disputes arising between Portuguese subjects in China with
regard to rights, either of property or person, shall be submitted to the jurisdiction
of the Portuguese authorities.
Art. XLVIII.—Whenever Chinese subjects become guilty of any criminal act
towards Portuguese subjects, the Portuguese authorities must report such acts to the
Chinese authorities in order that the guilty be tried according to the laws of China.
TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINA
If Portuguese subjects become guilty of any criminal act towards Chinese subjects,
the Chinese authorities must report such acts to the Portuguese Consul in order that
the guilty may be tried according to the laws of Portugal.
Art. XLIX.—If any Chinese subject shall have become indebted to a Portuguese
subject and withholds payment, or fraudulently absconds from his creditors, the
Chinese authorities shall use all their efforts to apprehend him and to compel him to
pay, the debt being previously proved and the possibility of its payment ascertained.
The Portuguese authorities will likewise use their efforts to enforce the payment of
any debt due by any Portuguese subject to a Chinese subject.
But in no case will the Portuguese Government or the Chinese Government be •
considered responsible for the debts of their subjects.
Art. L.—Whenever any Portuguese subject shall have to petition the Chinese
authority of a district, he is to submit his statement beforehand to the Consul, who
will cause the same to be forwarded should he see no impropriety in so doing,
otherwise he will have it written out in other terms, or decline to forward it.
Likewise, when a Chinese subject shall have occasion to petition the Portuguese
Consul he will only be allowed to do so through the Chinese authority, who shall
proceed in the same manner.
Art. LI.—Portuguese subjects who may have any complaint or claim against
any Chinese subject, shall lay the same before the Consul, who will take due
cognizance of the case and will use all his efforts to settle it amicably. Likewise,
when a Chinese subject shall have occasion to complain of a Portuguese subject, the
Consul will listen to his complaint and will do what he possibly can to re-establish
harmony between the two parties.
If, however, the dispute be of such a nature that it cannot be settled in that
conciliatory way, the Portuguese Consul and Chinese authorities will hold a joint
investigation of the case, and decide it with equity, applying each the laws of his own
country according to the nationality of the defendant.
Art. LII.—The Catholic religion has for its essential object tbe leading of men
to virtue. Persons teaching it and professing it shall alike be entitled to efficacious
protection from the Chinese authorities ; nor shall such persons pursuing peaceably
their calling and not offending against the laws be prosecuted or interfered with.
Art. LIII,—In order to prevent for the future any discussion, and considering
that the English language, among all foreign languages, is the most generally
known in China, this Treaty, with the Convention appended to it, is written in Por-
tuguese, Chinese, and English, and signed in six copies, two in each language. All
these versions have the same sense and meaning, but if there should happen to be any
divergence in the interpretation of the Portuguese and Chinese versions, the English
text will be made use of to resolve the doubts that may have arisen.
Art. LIV.—The present Treaty, with the Convention appended to it, shall be
ratified by His Most Faithful Majesty the King of Portugal and the Algarves and
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China. The exchange of the ratifications shall
be made, within the shortest possible time, at Tientsin, after which the Treaty,
with the Convention appended, shall be printed and published in order that the
functionaries and subjects of the two countries may have full knowledge of their
stipulations and may fulfil them.
In faith whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Treaty
and have affixed their seals thereto.

Jesus Christ one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, corresponding to the
Chinese date of the seventeenth day of the tenth moon of the thirteenth year of

Agreement
The basis of the co-operation to be given to China by Portugal in the collection
of duties on opium conveyed from Macao to Chinese ports, having been fixed by a
Convention appended to the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, concluded between
• China and Portugal on the 1st December, 1887, and it being now convenient to come
to an understanding upon some points relating to the said co-operation as well as to
fixed rules for the treatment of Chinese junks trading with Macao, Bernardo Pinheiro
< Correa de Mello, Secretary of the Special Mission of His Most Faithful Majesty in
148 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL
Peking, duly authorized by His Excellency Thomas de Souza Roza, Chief of the said
Mission, and Sir Robert Hart, k.c.m.o., Inspector-General of the Chinese Imperial
Maritime Customs, provided with the necessary instructions from the Chinese-
Government, have agreed on the following:
1. —An office under a Commissioner appointed by the Foreign
the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs shall be established at a convenient spot on
Chinese territory, lor the sale of opium duty certificates, to be freely sold to merchants
and for such quantities of opium as they may require. The said Commissioner will
also administer the Customs stations near Macao.
2. —Opium accompanied by such certificates, at the rate of no
Taels per picul, shall be free from all other imposts of every sort, and have all the

COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA
AND PORTUGAL
Signed at Shanghai, November, 1904
Art. I.—The Treaty of Amity and Commerce between China and Portugal
dated the first day of December, 1887 (17th day, 10th moon, 13th year of Kwang Hsu),
continues in force except in so far as modified by the present Treaty.
Art. II.—Portugal accepts the increase in the import duties stipulated for in
Article YI. of the Peking Protocol of 7th September, 1901, from the date of the ratifica-
tion of this Treaty. Portugal will enjoy the privileges of the most favoured nation,
and in no case shall Portuguese subjects pay higher or lower duties than those paid by
the subjects of any other foreign nation. Article XII. of the Treaty of First Decem-
ber, 1887, is therefore rendered null and void.
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL
Art. III.—The duty and lekin on foreign opium will continue as provided for
in existing Treaties. The Grovernraent of His Most Faithful Majesty agrees to con-
tinue as heretofore to co-operate with the Government of His Imperial Chinese
Majesty in the collection of the duty and lekin on opium exported from Macao to
China, and also to co-operate in the repression of smuggling in accordance with the
Treaty and Special Opium Convention of 1st December, 1887. In order to render this'
co-operation effective, it is clearly stipulated that all opium imported into Macao
shall, on arrival, be registered at the Special Government Bureau provided for this
purpose, and the Portuguese Government will take the necessary steps in order to
have all this opium stored under its exclusive control in a depot from which it will be
removed as required by the demands of trade. The quantity of opium required for
consumption in Macao and its dependencies will be fixed annually by the Government'
of Macao in agreement with the Commissioner of the Imperial Maritime Customs
referred to in Article II. of the above-mentioned Convention, and under no pretext;1
will removal from the Portuguese Government depot be permitted of any quantity of
opium for local consumption in excess of that fixed by the said agreement, and neces-
sary measures will be taken to prevent opium removed from the depot for re-export
to any port other than a port in China being sent fraudulently to Chinese territory.
The removal from the depot of opium for export will not be permitted except
on production of proof that such opium has already paid all dues and duties leviable’
thereon by China. The rules for the carrying out of this Article shall be arranged by
delegates from the Government of Macao and the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs;
Art. IY.—Such steps as are necessary for the repression of smuggling in the
territory and waters of Macao shall be taken by the local Portuguese Government in
concert with the Commissioner of the Imperial Maritime Customs, and- similar
steps in the Chinese territory and waters near Macao shall be taken by the Imperial
Maritime Customs in concert with the Portuguese Government of Macao. This co-
operation is intended to render such steps effective on all points in respect of which co-
operation is needed, and to avoid at the same time any injury to the sovereign rights
of either of the high contracting parties. Special delegates from the local Government
of Macao and the Imperial Maritime Customs shall proceed to fix the respective zones
of operations, and shall devise practical means for the repression of smuggling.
Art. Y.—With a view to the development of trade between Macao and neigh-
bouring ports in the Kwangtung Province, the high contracting parties have agreed
as follows:—
1. —Portuguese steamers desirous of proceeding for the purposes of
Macao to any of the ports of call and passenger stages on the West Eiver,
enumerated in the Special Article of the English-Burmah Convention of 1897, and
Article X. of the British Treaty of Commerce of 1902, shall be permitted to do so,
provided they comply with the Special Regulations to be framed for this purpose by
the two high contracting parties.
2. —Steamers specially registered for trade under the Inland Wa
Navigation Rules shall be permitted to ply between Macao and places in the Depart-
ment of Kwang-chow-fu other than those mentioned in Section 1, provided they
report to the Kungpei-kuan Customs for examination of cargo and payment of duties
in accordance with Special Regulations to be framed for this purpose by the two high
contracting parties. Such vessels may engage in all lawful trade, including the tow-
age of junks and conveyance of passengers and cargo, subject to the regulations for
the time being in force.
The privileges hereby granted are granted on the express understanding that
Special Regulations shall be framed defining in detail the conditions under which
such traffic may be carried on. Until then, the said Regulations have been agreed
upon and published, the Article shall not become operative; and subsequently only
on compliance with the said Regulations.
Art. YI.—Portugal having the right of most favoured nation treatment, it is
clearly stipulated that any advantages China may think fit to grant to any nation in
150 . COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL
the importation of agricultural products, specially wines and oil, or in the importa-
tion of industrial products, specially woollen and cotton goods and preserved food-
stuffs, shall be extended to similar Portuguese goods on exactly the same conditions.
It is also clearly understood that Portuguese wine of all kinds proved by means
of certificate of origin, issued by Portuguese Consuls, to have been imported from
Portugal, direct or otherwise, shall when their alcoholic strength exceeds 14° pay
the duty leviable according to the annexed tariff on wines exceeding 14° of alcholic
strength. Wine passed through the Chinese Customs under designation “ Port
Wine ” shall not be entitled to the benefit of this Article unless accompanied by a
certificate of origin as above.
Art. YII.—Portuguese subjects may frequent, reside at, and carry on trade,
industries and manufactures, and pursue any other lawful avocation in all the ports
and localities in China which have already been or may hereafter be opened to
foreign residence and trade ; and wherever in any such ports or localities a special
area has been or may hereafter be set apart for the use and occupation of foreigners,
Portuguese subjects may t herein lease land, erect buildings, and in all respects enjoy the
same privileges and immunities as are granted to subjects of the most favoured nations.
Art. VIII.—Whereas China, with the object of reforming its fiscal system,
proposes to levy a surtax in addition to the tariff duties on all goods passing through
the Custom-houses, whether maritime or inland and frontier, in order to make good
the loss incurred by the complete abolition of lehin, the Portuguese Government agrees
that foreign goods imported into China by Portuguese subjects shall on entry pay
an import surtax equivalent to one and a half times the duty fixed by the Import
Tariff as now revised, and that Chinese produce exported abroad by Portuguese sub-
jects shall pay export duties, inclusive of the tariff export duty, not exceeding seven
and a half per cent, ad valorem, provided always that such import surtax and export
duties have been accepted by all the Powers having Treaties with China. With
regard to the produce tax, consumption tax, and excise, as well as the duties on native
opium and salt, leviable by China, Portugal further agrees to accept the same
arrangements as shall be agreed upon between all the Treaty Powers and China. It
is, however, understood that the commerce, rights, and privileges of Portugal shall
not, in consequence of this undertaking, be placed in any way at a disadvantage as
compared with the commerce, rights, and privileges of any other Power.
Art. IX.—Drawback certificates for the return of duties shall be issued by the
Imperial Maritime Customs to Portuguese subjects within twenty-one days from the
date of presentation to the Customs of the papers entitling the applicant to receive
such drawback certificates. These certificates will be accepted at their face value by
the Customs authorities at the port of issue in payment of duties of all kinds, ton-
nage dues excepted; or shall, in the case of drawbacks for duty paid on foreign
goods re-exported abroad within three years from the date of importation, be
redeemable in full in ready money by the Imperial Maritime Customs at the port of
issue, at the option of the holders thereof. But if, in connection with any applica-
tion for a drawback certificate, the Customs authorities discover an attempt on the
part of a Portuguese subject to defraud the revenue, he shall be liable to a fine not
exceeding five times the amount of the duty whereof he attempted to defraud the
Customs, or to a confiscation of the goods. In case the goods have been removed
from Chinese territory, then the Consul shall inflict on the guilty party a suitable
fine to be paid to the Chinese Government.
Art. X.—China agrees to herself establish a svstem of uniform national coinage
and provide for a uniform national currency, which shall be freely used as legal
fender in payment of all duties, taxes, and other obligations by Portuguese subjects
as well as by Chinese subjects in the Chinese Empire. It is understood, however,
that all Customs duties shall continue to be calculated and paid on the basis of the
Haikwan Tael.
Art. XI.—-The Government of His Most Faithful Majesty agrees to the prohibi-
tion by the Chinese Government of the importation into China of morphia and of
instruments for its injection, on condition, however, that the Chinese Government
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL lot
will allow the importation of morphia and of instruments for its injection for medical
purposes by Portuguese doctors, chemists, and druggists, on payment of the
prescribed duty and under special permit which will only be granted t<> an intending
importer upon h s signing at the Portuguese Consulate a suitable bond undertaking
not to sell morphia except in small quantities and on receipt of a requisition signed
by a duly qualified foreign medical practitioner. If fraud in connection with such
importation be discovered by the Customs authorities the morphia and instrument
for its injection will be seized and confiscated, and the importer will be denied the
right to import these articles.
Art. XII.—The Chinese Government recognizing that it is advantageous for
the country to develop its mineral resources, and that it is desirable to attract foreign'
as well as Chinese capital to embark in mining enterprise, agrees to revise its exist-
ing mining regulations in such manner, by the selection of those rules in force in'
other nations which seem applicable to conditions in China, that the revision, while
promoting the interests of Chinese subjects and in no way prejudicing the sovereign
rights of China, will offer no impediment to the employment of foreign capital, nor
place foreign capitalists at a greater disadvantage than they would be under generally
accepted foreign regulations, and will permit Portuguese subjects to carry on in
Chinese territory mrning operations and other necessary business relating thereto,
provided they comply with the new regulations and conditions which will be imposed
by China on its subjects and foreigners alike, relating to the opening of mines, the
renting of mineral land, and payment of royalty, and provided they apply for permits,
the provisions of which, in regard to necessary business relating to such operations,
shall be observed. The residence of Portuguese subjects in connection with such
mining operations shall be agreed upon between Portugal and China. Any mining
concession granted after the publication of such new rules shall be subject to these
provisions.
Art. XIII.—It being only right that, the shareholders of any joint stock com-
pany, or the partners in any commercial undertaking, should all be on a footing of
equality as regards division of profits and payment of obligations, according to the
partnership agreement or memorandum and articles of association, the Chinese
Government agrees that Chinese subjects joining with Portuguese subjects in the or-
ganisation of a joint stock company or commercial undertaking, legally constituted,
shall be liable to the fulfilment of the obligations imposed by said agreement or
memorandum and articles of association, and that Chinese Courts will enforce fulfil-
ment of such obligations, if a suit to that effect be entered; provided always that
their liability shall not be other or greater than that of Portuguese shareholders or
partners in the same company or partnership. Similarly Portuguese subjects who
invest their capital in Chinese enterprises shall be bound to fulfil the obligations
imposed by the partnership agreement or memorandum, and articles of association,
and their liability shall be the same as that of the Chinese subjects engaged in the
same undertaking. But as existing Treaty stipulations do not permit foreign mer-
chants to reside in the interior of China for purpose of trade, such joint stock com-
panies and commercial undertakings may be established in the interior by Portuguese
and Chinese subjects conjointly.
Art. XIY.—As Portugal affords protection to trademarks used by subjects of
any other nationality, provided a like protection is reciprocated for trademarks used
by Portuguese subjects, China, in order to obtain this protection for its subjects in
Portuguese territory, agrees to grant protection to Portuguese trademarks against
unlawful use, falsification or imitation by Chinese subjects. To this end the Chinese
Government will enact the necessary laws and regulations, and will establish
registration offices at which foreign trademarks may be registered on payment of
reasonable fees. Further, the Chinese Government agrees that, as soon as a Patent
Office has been established, and special laws with regard to inventions have been
adopted, it will, after payment of the prescribed fees, issue certificates, valid for a
fixed term of years, to Portuguese inventors, extending to their inventions the same
protection as shall be given to Chinese patents in Portugal, provided that such inven-
152 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL
-tions do not infringe on previous inventions by subjects of China. Any Chinese or
Portuguese subject who is the author, proprietor, or seller of any publication
injurious to the peace and good government of China shall be dealt with in accordance
with the laws of his own country.
Art. XY.—The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform
its judicial system, and to bring it into accord with that of Western nations, Portugal
agrees to give every assistance to such reform, and will also be prepared to relinquish
.extraterritorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrange-
ments for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in so doing.
Art. XVI.—The missionary question in China demands, in the opinion of the
Chinese Government, careful consideration, so as to avert in the future troubles
which have occurred in the past. Portugal, as a nation specially interested in the
•protection of its Catholic missions in Chinese territory, agrees to join in a commission
to investigate this question and, if possible, to devise means for securing permanent
ipeace between converts and non-converts, should such a commission be formed by
• China and the Treaty Powers interested. No person, whether Portuguese subject or
Chinese convert who, according to the tenets of Christianity, peaceably teaches or
practises the principles of that religion, which aims at teaching men to do good, shall
be persecuted or harassed on account of his faith. But converts and non-converts,
being alike subjects of China, shall conform to her laws, and shall pay due respect
-to those in authority, living together in peace and amity; and the fact of his being
a convert shall protect no one from the consequence of any offence he may have
committed before or may commit after his admission into the Church, or exempt him
from paying legal taxes and contributions levied for the support of religious customs and
practices contrary to his faith. Missionaries shall not interfere with the exercise by
-the native authorities of their jurisdiction over Chinese subjects, nor shall the native
authorities make any distinction between converts and non-converts, but shall
administer the law without partiality, so that both classes may live together in peace.
Portuguese missions shall be permitted to rent and lease in perpetuity, as the
property of the mission, buildings or lands in all parts of the Empire for mission
purposes, and, after the title-deeds have been found in order and duly stamped by the
local authorities, to erect such suitable buildings as may be required for carrying out
their good work.
Art. XVII.—The present Treaty shall remain in force for a period of ten years
beginning with the date of the exchange of ratifications and until a revision is effected
as hereinafter provided.
It is further agreed that either of the two high contracting parties may
demand revision of the Tariff and the Articles of the Treaty six months before the
.end of ten years from the date of the exchange of ratifications thereof. If no re-
vision is demanded before the end of the first term of the ten years, then these Articles
in their present form shall remain in full force for a further term of ten years
reckoned from the end of the first term and so on for successive periods of ten years.
Art. XVIII.—In order to prevent in the future any discussion, this Treaty is
written in Portuguese, Chinese and English, and signed in six copies, two in each lan-
guage. All these versions have the same sense and meaning, but if there should happen
-to be any divergence in the interpretation of the Portuguese and Chinese versions,
the English text will be made use of to resolve the doubts that may have arisen.
Art. XIX.—The present Treaty shall be ratified by His Most Faithful Majesty
the King of Portugal and Algarves and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China.
The exchange of the ratifications shall be made within the shortest possible time,
and the Treaty
subjects will be printed
of the respective and published,

In faith whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Treaty

upon to pay in China other or higher import or export duties than are or may
be paid by the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation; nor shall any

in China.
No tonnage dues shall be payable on small vessels and boats employed by
Japanese subjects in the conveyance of passengers’ baggage, letters, or duty-free

Art. XVII.—Japanese merchant vessels compelled on account of injury sustained
or any other cause, to seek a place of refuge, shall be permitted to enter any nearest

His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor of China, in
order to give foil effect to the provisions of Article XI. of the Pinal Protocol signed
at Peking on the seventh day of the ninth month of the thirty-fourth year of Meiji,
corresponding to the twenty-fifth day of the seventh moon of the twenty-seventh year
of Kuang-hsii, have resolved to conclude a Supplementary Treaty of Commerce and
Navigation, designed to facilitate and promote the commercial relations between

Art. I.—Whereas China, with the object of reforming its fiscal system, proposes
to levy a surtax in excess of the tariff rates on all goods passing through the Custom-
houses, whether maritime, or inland and frontier, in order to compensate, in a mea-
sure, for the loss incurred by the complete abolition of lekin, Japan consents to pay
the same surtax as is agreed upon between China and all the Treaty Powers. With
regard to the production tax, consumption ,tax, and excise, and the taxes on native
opium and salt, leviable by China, Japan also consents to accept the same arrange-
ments as are agreed upon between all the Treaty Powers and China. It is under-
stood, however, that the commerce, rights and privileges of Japan shall not, on account
of the above, be place! at any disadvantage as compared with the commerce, rights
and privileges of other Powers.
SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA
Art. II.—The Chinese Government agrees to permit Japanese steamship-owners-
to erect, at their own expense, appliances for hauling through the rapids of that part
of the Yangtzekiang between Ichang and Chungking; but as the interests of the
population of the provinces of Szechuen, Hunan and Hupeh are involved, it is there-
fore necessary that the approval of the Imperial Maritime Customs be obtained before
such appliances may be so erected. These appliances, which shall be at the disposal
of all vessels, both steamers and junks, shall not obstruct the waterway nor interfere
with the free passage of junks or of persons on the banks on the river. Such ap-
pliances shall be subject to special regulations to be drawn up by the Imperial
Customs.
Art, III.—The Chinese Government agrees that any Japanese steamer capable
of navigating the inland waterways, upon reporting at the Imperial Maritime Cus-
toms, may proceed for the purpose of trade from a Treaty Port to places inland so
reported, on complying with the Original and Supplementary Regulations for Steam
Navigation Inland.
Art. IY.—In case Chinese subjects conjointly with Japanese subjects organise
a partnership or company for a legitimate purpose, they shall equitably share the
profits and losses with all the members according to the terms of the agreement or
memorandum and articles of association and the regulations framed thereunder, and
they shall be liable to the fulfilment of the obligations imposed by the said agreement
or memorandum and articles of association and the regulations framed thereunder,
as accepted by them and as interpreted by the Japanese Courts. Should they
fail to fulfil the obligations so imposed and legal action be taken against them
in consequence, Chinese Courts shall at once enforce fulfilment of such obligations-
It is understood that in case Japanese subjects conjointly with Chinese subjects
organise a partnership or company, they shall also equitably share the profits and1
losses with all the members according to the terms of the agreement or memorandum
and articles of association and the regulations framed thereunder. Should such
Japanese subjects fail to fulfil any of the obligations imposed by the said agreement
or memorandum and articles of association, or by the regulations framed thereunder,
Japanese Courts shall in like manner at once enforce fulfilment of such obligations
by them.
Art. Y.—The Chinese Government agrees to make and faithfully enforce such
regulations as are necessary for preventing Chinese subjects from infringing regis-
tered trade-marks held by Japanese subjects. The Chinese Government likewise
agrees to make such regulations as are necessary for affording protection to registered
copyrights held by Japanese subjects in the books, pamphlets, maps and charts
written in the Chinese language and specially prepared for the use of Chinese people.
It is further agreed that the Chinese Government shall establish registration
offices where foreign trade-marks and copyrights held by Japanese subjects in protec-
tion of the Chinese Government shall be registered in accordance with the provisions
of the regulations to be hereafter framed by the Chinese Government for the purpose
of protecting trade-marks and copyrights. It is understood that Chinese trade-
marks and copyrights properly registered according to the provisions of the laws and
regulations of Japan will receive similar protection against infringement in Japan.
This Article shall not be held to protect against due process of law any Japanese
or Chinese subject who may be the author, proprietor, or seller of any publication
calculated to injure the well-being of China.
Art. YI.—China agrees to establish itself, as soon as possible, a system of
uniform national coinage, and provide for a uniform national currency, which shall be
freely used as legal tender in payment of all duties, taxes and other obligations by
Japanese subjects as well as by Chinese subjects in the Chinese Empire. It is
understood, however, that all Customs duties shall continue to be calculated and paid
on the basis of the Haikwan Tael.
Art. YH.—As the weights and measures used by the mercantile and other classes
for general and commercial purposes in the different provinces of China vary
and do not accord with the standards fixed by the Imperial Government Boards, thus
6*
161 SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA
resulting in detriment to the trade of Chinese and foreigners, the Co ve rnors - General
und Governors of all the provinces, after careful inquiry into existing conditions, shall
consult together and fix upon uniform standards which, after a Memorial to the
Throne for sanction, shall be adopted and used in all transactions by officials and
people throughout all the Empire. These standards shall be first used in the places
opened to foreign trade and gradually extended to inland places. Any differences
resulting from divergence between the new weights and measures and those now in
vogue shall be equitably settled, whether by way of increase or decrease, according
to the amount of such difference.
Art. VIII.—The Regulations for Steam Navigation Inland of the fifth jnoon of
the twenty-fourth year of KuangHsu and the Supplementary Rules of the seventh moon
of the same year, having been found in some respects inconvenient in working, the
•Chinese Government hereby agrees to amend them, and to annex such new Rules to
this Treaty. These Rules shall remain in force until altered by mutual consent.
Art. IX.—The provisions of all Treaties and engagements now subsisting between
Japan and China, in so far as they are not modified or repealed by this Act, are
hereby expressly stipulated in addition, that the Japanese Government, officers,
subjects, commerce, navigation, shipping, industries and property of all kinds shall
be allowed free and full participation in all privileges, immunities and advantages
which have been or may hereafter be granted by His Majesty the Emperor of China
or by the Chinese Government or by the Provincial or Local Administrations of
China to the Government, officers, subjects, commerce, navigation, shipping, in-
dustries or property of any other nation. The Japanese Government will do its
utmost to secure to Chinese officers and subjects resident in Japan the most
favourable treatment compatible with the laws and regulations of the Empire.
Art. X.—The high contracting parties hereto agree that, in case of and after
the complete withdrawal of the foreign troops stationed in the province of Chihli and
of the Legation guards, a place of international residence and trade in Peking will be
forthwith opened by China itself. The detailed regulation relating thereto shall be
settled in due time after consultation. The Chinese Government agrees to open to
foreign trade, within six months from the exchange of the Ratifications of this
Treaty, Ch‘angsha-fu in the province of Hunan, on the same footing as the ports
already opened to foreign trade. Foreigners residing in this open port are to observe
the Municipal and Police Regulations on the same footing as Chinese residents, and
they are not to be entitled to establish a Municipality and Police of their own within
the limits of this Treaty Port, except with the consent of the Chinese authorities.
The Chinese Government agrees that, upon the exchange of the Ratifications of
this Treaty, Moukden and Tatungkow, both in the province of Shengking, will be
opened by China itself as places of international residence and trade. The selection
of suitable localities to be set apart for international use and occupation and the regula-
tions for these places set apart for foreign residence and trade shall be agreed upon
by the Governments of Japan and China, after consultation together.
Art. XI.—The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform
its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of Japan and Western
nations, Japan agrees to give every assistance to such reform, and will also be pre-
pared to relinquish its extraterritorial rights when satisfied that the state of the
Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations
warrant it in so doing.
Art. XII.—The present Treaty is signed in the Japanese, Chinese and English
languages. In order, however, to prevent future discussions, the Plenipotentiaries of
the high contracting parties have agreed that in case of any divergence in the in-
terpretation between the Japanese and Chinese texts of the Treaty, the difference
shall be settled by reference to the English text.
Art. XIII.—The present Treaty shall be ratified by His Majesty the Emperor of
Japan and His Majesty the Emperor of China, and the ratifications thereof shall be
exchanged at Peking as soon as possible, and not later than six months from the
SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA 165
present date. In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the
same and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms.

Annex 1
INLAND WATERS STEAM NAVIGATION
Additional Rules
1. —Japanese- steamship owners are at liberty to lease warehous
the banks of waterways from Chinese subjects for a term not exceeding twenty-five
years, with option of renewal on terms to be mutually arranged. In cases where
Japanese merchants are unable to secure warehouses and jetties from Chinese
subjects on satisfactory terms, the local officials, after consultation with the Governor
or Governor-General 6r Minister of Commerce, shall arrange to provide these on
renewable lease, as above mentioned, at current equitable rates.
2. —Jetties shall only be erected in such positions that they w
the inland waterway or interfere with navigation, and with the sanction of the
nearest Commissioner of Customs; such sanction, however, shall not be arbitrarily
withheld.
3. —Japanese merchants shall pay taxes and contributions on
and jetties on the same footing as Chinese proprietors of similar properties in the
neighbourhood. Japanese merchants may only employ Chinese agents and staff to
reside in warehouses so leased at places touched at by steamers engaged in inland
traffic to carry on their business ; but Japanese merchants may visit these places from
time to time to look after their affairs. The existing rights of Chinese jurisdiction over
Chinese subjects shall not by reason of this clause be diminished or interfered with in
any way.
4. —Steam vessels navigating the inland waterways of China sh
for loss caused to riparian proprietors by damage which they may do to the banks
or works on them, and for the loss which may be caused by such damage. In
the event of China desiring to prohibit the use of some particular shallow
waterway by launches, because there is reason to fear that the use of it by them
would be likely to injure the banks and cause damage to the adjoining country, the
Japanese authorities, when appealed to, shall, if satisfied of the validity of the
objection, prohibit the use of that waterway by Japanese launches, provided that
Chinese launches are also prohibited from using it. Both Foreign and Chinese
launches are prohibited from crossing dams and weirs at present in existence on
inland waterways where they are likely to cause injury to such works, which would
be detrimental to the water service of the local people.
5. —The main object of the Japanese Government in desiring
waterways of China opened to steam navigation being to afford facilities for the
rapid transport of both foreign and native merchandise, they undertake to offer no
impediment to the transfer to a Chinese company and the Chinese flag of any
360 SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA
Japanese steamer which may now or hereafter be employed on the inland waters of
China, should the owner be willing to make the transfer. In the event of a Chinese
company registered under Chinese law being formed to run steamers on the inland
waters of China, the fact of Japanese subjects holding shares in such a company shall
not entitle the steamer to fly the Japanese flag.
6. —Registered steamers and their tows are forbidden, just as junk
been forbidden, to carry contraband goods. Infraction of this rule will entail the
penalties prescribed in the Treaties for such an offence and cancellation of the Inland
Waters Navigation Certificate carried by the vessels, which will be prohibited from
thereafter plying on inland waters.
7. —As it is desirable that the people living inland should be distu
as possible by advent of steam vessels to which they are not accustomed, inland
waters not hitherto frequented by steamers shall be opened as gradually as may be
convenient to merchants and only as the owners of steamers may see prospect of
remunerative trade. In cases where it is intended to run steam vessels on water-
ways on which such vessels have not hitherto run, intimation shall be made to the
Commissioner of Customs at the nearest open port, who shall report the matter to the
Ministers of Commerce. The latter, in conjunction with the Governor-General or
Governor of the province, after careful consideration of all the circumstances of the
case, shall at once give their approval.
8. —A registered steamer may ply within the waters of a port, or f
port or ports to another open port or ports, or from one open port or ports to places
inland, and thence back to such port or ports. She may, on making due report to
the Customs, land or ship passengers or cargo at any recognised places of trade
passed in the course of the voyage; but may not ply between inland places
exclusively except with the consent of the Chinese Government.
9. —Any cargo and passenger boats may be towed by steamers. T
and crew of any boat towed shall be Chinese. All boats, irrespective of ownership,
must be registered before they can proceed inland.
10. —The above Rules are supplementary to the Regulations p
fifth and seventh moons of the twenty-fourth year of Kuang Hsii, which remain in
full force and effect in so far as they are not modified by the Rules now agreed upon.
The present Rules and the Regulations of the fifth and seventh moons of the
twenty-fifth year of Kuang Hsu may hereafter be modified, as circumstances require, by
mutual consent.
Done at Shanghai this eighth day of the tenth moon of the thirty-sixth year of
Meiji, corresponding to the eighteenth day of the eighth moon of the twenty-cinth

KOREA
TREATY OF ANNEXATION TO JAPAN
Concluded 29th August, 1910
DECLARATION
Notwithstanding the earnest and laborious work of reforms in .the adminis-
tration of Korea in which the Government of Japan and Korea have been engaged for
more than four years since the conclusion of the agreement of 1905, the existing
system of Government in that country has not proved entirely equal to the duty
of preserving public order and tranquillity, and in addition a spirit of suspicion and
misgiving dominates the whole peninsula. In order to maintain peace and stability
in Korea, to promote the prosperity and welfare of Koreans and at the same time to
ensure the safety and repose of foreign residents, it has been made abundantly
clear that fundamental changes in the actual regime of Government are absolutely
essential. The Government of Japan and Korea being convinced of the urgent
necessity of introducing reforms respective to the requirements of the situation and
of furnishing sufficient guarantees for the future, have, with the approval of His
Majesty the Emperor of Korea, concluded through their respective Plenipotentiaries
a Treaty providing for the complete annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan.
By virtue of that important act, which shall take effect on its promulgation, the
Imperial Government of Japan undertake the entire government and administration
of Korea, and they hereby declare that the matters relating to foreigners and foreign
trade in Korea shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules:—
1. —The Treaties hitherto concluded by Korea with Foreign Powers ceasi
operative, Japan’s existing treaties will, so far as practicable, be applied in Korea.
Foreigners resident in Korea will, as far as conditions permit, enjoy the same rights
and immunities as in Japan proper and the protection of their legally acquired
rights, subject in all cases to the jurisdiction of Japan. The Imperial Government
of Japan are ready to consent that the jurisdiction in respect of cases actually pend-
ing in any foreign Consular Courts in Korea at the time the Treaty of Annexation-
takes effect shall remain in such Courts until final decision.
2. —Independently of any conventional engagements formerly existing
subject, the Imperial Government of Japan will for a period of ten years levy upon
goods imported into Korea from foreign countries or exported from Korea to foreign
countries and upon foreign vessels entering any of the open ports of Korea the same
import or export duties and the same tonnage dues as under the existing schedules.
The same import or export duties and tonnage dues as those to be levied upon the
aforesaid goods and vessels will also for a period of ten years be applied in respect
of goods imported into Korea from Japan or exported from Korea to Japan and
Japanese vessels.
3. —The Imperial Government of Japan will also permit for a period
years vessels under the flags of Powers having treaties with Japan to engage in the
coasting trade between the open ports of Korea and between those ports and any
open ports of Japan.
.182 TREATY OF ANNEXATION TO JAPAN
4.—The existing open ports of Korea, with the exception of Masampo, will be
continued as open ports, and in addition Shinwiju will be newly opened, so that
vessels, foreign as well as Japanese, will there be admitted and goods may be im-
ported into and exported from those ports.
Treaty
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor of Korea,
having in view the special and close relations between their respective countries,
desiriug to promote the common weal of the two nations and to assure permanent
-peace in the Extreme East, being convinced that these objects can be best attained
by the annexation of Korea to tbe Empire of Japan, have resolved to conclude a
treaty of such annexation and have for that purpose appointed as their plenipoten-
tiaries, that is to say: His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Viscount Masakata
Terauchi, His Resident General; and His Majesty the Emperor of Korea, Ye Wan
YongjHis Minister President of State, who, upon mutual conference and deliberation,
have agreed to the following Articles :—
I. —His Majesty the Emperor of Korea makes complete an
to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan of all rights of sovereignty over the whole
pf Korea.
II. —His Majesty the Emperor of Japan accepts the conce
preceding Article and consents to the complete annexation of Korea to the Empire
of Japan.
III. —His Majesty the Emperor of Japan will accor
Emperor and Ex-Emperor and His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Korea
and their consorts and heirs such titles, dignity and honour as are appropriate to
their respective ranks, and sufficient annual grants will be made for the maintenance
of such titles, dignity and honour.
IV. —His Majesty the Emperor of Japan will also accord
treatment to the members of the Imperial House of Korea and their heirs other than
those mentioned in the preceding Articles, and the funds necessary for the mainten-
ance of such honour and treatment will be granted.
V. —His Majesty the Emperor of Japan will confer p
grants upon those Koreans who on account of meritorious services are regarded as
deserving such special recognition.
VI. —In consequence of the aforesaid annexation the G
sume the entire government and administration of Korea and undertake to afford full
protection for the persons and property of Koreans obeying the laws there in force
and to promote the welfare of all such Koreans.
VII. —The Government of Japan will, so far as circum
the public service of Japan in Korea those Koreans who accept the new regime loyally
and in good faith and who are duly qualified for such service.
VIII. —The Treaty, having been approved by His M
and His Majesty the Emperor or Korea, shall take effect from the date of its
promulgation.
REGULATIONS UNDER WHICH BRITISH TRADE IS
TO BE CONDUCTED IN COREA (CHOSEN)
I.—Entrance and Clearance of Vessels
1. —Within forty-eight hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) aft
arrival of a British, ship in a Corean port, the master shall deliver to the Corean
Customs authorities the receipt of the British Consul showing that he ha$ deposited
the ship’s papers at the British Consulate, and he shall then make an entry of this
ship by handing in a written paper stating the name of the ship, of the port from
which she comes, of her master, the number, and, if required, the names of her
passengers, her tonnage, and the number of her crew, which paper shall be certified
by the master to be a true statement, and shall be signed by him. He shall, at the
same time, deposit a written manifest of his cargo, setting forth the marks and
numbers of the packages and their contents as they are described in the bills of
lading, with the names of the persons to whom they are consigned. The master shall
certify that this description is correct, and shall sign his name to the same. When
a vessel has been duly entered, the Customs authorities will issue a permit to open
hatches, which shall be exhibited to the Customs officer on board. Breaking bulk
without having obtained such permission will render the master liable to a fine uot
exceeding one hundred Mexican Dollars.
2. —If any error is discovered in the manifest, it may be corrected within
four hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) of its being handed in, without the
payment of any fee ; but for alteration or post entry to the manifest made after
that time a fee of Five Mexican Dollars shall be paid.
3. —Any master who shall neglect to enter his vessel at the Corean Custom
within the rime fixed by this Regulation shall pay a penalty not exceeding Fifty
Mexican Dollars for every twenty-four hours that he shall so neglect to enter his ship.
4. —Any British vessel which remains in port for less than forty-eigh
(exclusive of Sundays and holidays) and does not open her hatches, also any vessel
driven into port by stress of weather, or only in want of supplies, shall not be required
to enter or pay tonnage dues so long as such vessel does not engage in trade.
5. —When the master of a vessel wishes to clear, he shall hand in to the C
authorities an export manifest containing similar particulars to those given in the
imporc manifest. The Customs authorities will then issue a clearance certificate and
return the Consul’s receipt for the ship’s papers. These documents must be handed
into the Consulate before the ship’s papers are returned to the master.
6. —Should any ship leave the port without clearing outwards in the
above prescribed, the master shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Two Hundred
Mexican Dollars.
7. —British steamers may enter and clear on the same day, and they sha
required to hand in a manifest except for such goods as are to be landed or transhipped

184 REGULATIONS FOR BRITISH TKADE WITH COREA
II.—Landing and Shipping Cargo and Payment of Duties
L—The importer of any <> oods who desires to land them shall make and sign an
application to that effect at the Custom-house, stating his own name, the name of the
ship in which the goods have been imported, the marks, numbers, and contents of the
packages and their values, and declaring that this statement is correct. The Customs
authorities may demand the production of the invoice of each consignment of
merchandise. If it is not produced, or if its absence is not satisfactorily accounted for,
the owner shall be allowed to land his goods on payment of double the Tariff duty,
but the surplus duty so levied shall be refunded on the production of the invoice.
2.—All goods so entered may be examined by the Customs officers of the places
appointed for the purpose. Such examination shall be made without delay or injury
to the merchandise, and the packages shall be at once re-sorted by the Customs
authorities to their original condition, in so far as may be practicable.
S.—Should the Customs authorities consider the value of any goods paying an
ad valorem duty as declared by the importer or exporter insufficient, they shall call
upon him to pay duty on the value determined by an appraisement to be made by the
Customs appraiser. But should the importer or exporter be dissatisfied with that
appraisement, he shall within twenty-four hours (exclusive of Sundays and holidays)
state his reasons for such dissatisfaction to the Commissioner of Customs, and shall
appoint an appraiser of his own to make a re-appraisement. He shall then declare
the value of the goods as determined by such re-appraisement. The Commissioner
of Customs will thereupon, at his option, either assess the duty on the value deter-
mined by this re-appraisement, or will purchase the goods from the importer or
exporter at the price thus determined, with the addition of five per cent. In the
latter case the purchase money shall be paid to the importer or exporter within five
days from the date on which he has declared the value determined by his own
appraiser.
. 4.—Upon all goods damaged on the voyage of importation a fair reduction of
duty shall be allowed, proportionate to their deterioration. If any disputes arise as
to the amount of such reduction, they shall be settled in the manner pointed out in
•the preceding clause.
5.—All goods intended to be exported shall be entered at the Corean Custom-
house before they are shipped. The application to ship shall be made in writing, and
shall state the name of the vessel by which the goods are to be exported, the marks
and number of the packages, and the quantity, description, and value of the contents.
The exporter shall certify in writing that the application gives a true account of all
•the goods contained therein, and shall sign his name thereto.
t>.—No goods shall be landed or shipped at other places than those fixed by the
Corean Customs authorities, or between the hours of sunset and sunrise, or on Sundays
or holidays, without the special permission of the Customs authorities, who will be
entitled to reasonable fees for the extra duty thus performed.
7. —Claims by importers or exporters for duties paid in excess,
authorities for duties which have not been fully paid, shall be entertained only when
made within thirty days from the date of payment.
8. —-No entry, will be required in the case of provisions for
ships, their crews and passengers, nor for the baggage of the latter which may be
landed or shipped at any time after examination by the Customs officers.
9. —Vessels needing repairs may land their cargo for that p
payment of duty. All goods so landed shall remain in charge of the Corean Autho-
rities, and all just charges for storage, labour, and supervision shall be paid by the
master. But if any portion of such cargo be sold, the duties of the Tariff shall be
paid on the portion so disposed of.
REGULATIONS FOR BRITISH TRADE WITH COREA 185-
10.—Any person desiring to tranship cargo shall obtain a permit from the Customs-
authorities before doing so.

1
. —The Customs authorities shall have the right to place Customs of
board any British merchant vessel in their ports. All such Customs officers shall have
access to all parts of the ship in which cargo is stowed. They shall be treated with
civility, and such reasonable accommodation shall be allowed to them as the ship affords.
2. —The hatches and all other places of entrance into that part of the sh
cargo is stowed may be secured by the Corean Customs officers between the hours of
sunset and sunrise, and on Sundays and holidays, by affixing seals, locks, or other
fastenings, and if any person shall, without due permission, wilfully open any entrance
that has been so secured, or break any seal, lock, or other fastening that has been
affixed by the Coreau Customs officers, not only tlie person so offending, but the master
of the ship also, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding One Hundred Mexican
Dollars.
3 —Any British subject who ships, or attempts to ship, or discharges, or attempts
to discharge, goods which have not been duly entered at the Custom-house in the
manner above provided, or packages containing goods different from those described

the value of such goods, and the goods shall be confiscated.
4. —Any person signing a false declaration or certificate with the intent t
the revenue of Corea shall be liable to a fine not exceeding Two Hundred Mexican
Dollars.

specially attached therein, may be punished by a fine not exceeding One Hundred
Mexican Dollars.

Ratifications Exchanged at Tokyo, 25th August, 1894
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
Empress of India, and His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, being equally desirous
of maintaining the relations of good understanding which happily exist between
them, by extending and increasing the intercourse between their respective States,
and being convinced that this object cannot better be accomplished than by revising
-the Treaties hitherto existing between the two countries, have resolved to complete
-such a revision, based upon principles of equity and mutual benefit, and, for that
purpose, have named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:—
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
Empress of India, the Right Honourable John, Earl of Kimberley, Knight of the
Most Noble Order of the Garter, etc., etc., Her Britannic Majesty’s Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs ;
And His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Viscount Aoki Siuzo, Junii, First Class

Article I.—The subjects of each of the two high contracting parties shall have
full liberty to enter, travel, or reside in any part of the dominions and possessions
of the other contracting party, and shall enjoy full and perfect protection for their
persons and property.
They shall have free and easy access to the Courts of Justice in pursuit and
defence of their rights; they shall be at liberty equally with native subjects to
choose and employ lawyers, advocates, and representatives to pursue and defend
their rights before such Courts, and in all other matters connected with the
administr ition of justice they shall enjoy all the rights and privileges enjoyed by
native subjects.
In whatever relates to rights of residence and travel; to the possession of goods
and effects of any kind ; to the succession to personal estate, by will or otherwise,
and the disposal of property of any sort in any manner whatsoever which they may
lawfully acquire, the subjects of each contracting party shall enjoy in the dominions
and possessions of the other the same privileges, liberties, and rights, and shall be

CONVENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND
JAPAN FOR THE PROTECTION OP THE ESTATES
OP DECEASED PERSONS
Signed at Tokyo, April 26th, 1900
Ratifications exchanged at Tokyo, 25th October, 1900
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
Empress of India, and His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, being equally desirous
of maintaining the relations of good understanding which happily exist between
them by laying down rules for the protection of the estates of deceased persons,
have agreed to conclude a Convention, and for that purpose have named as their
respective Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:—Her Majesty the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, Sir Ernest Mason Satow,
Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George,
Her Britannic Majesty’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary; and
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Viscount Aoki Siuzo, Junu, First Class of the
Imperial Order of the Rising Sun, His Imperial Majesty’s Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs, who, having communicated to each other their respective full
powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles:—
Art. I.—Whenever a subject of one of the high contracting parties shall die
within the dominions of the other, and there shall be no person present at the time
of such death who shall be rightly entitled to administer the estate of such deceased
person, the following rules shall be observed:
1. When the deceased leaves, in the above-named circumstances, heirs of his
or her own nationality only, or who may be qualified to enjoy the civil status of
their father or mother, as the case may be, the Consul-General, Consul, Vice-Consul,
or Consular Agent of the country to which the deceased belonged, on giving notice
to the proper authorities, shall take possession and have custody of the property of
the said deceased, shall pay the expenses of the funeral, and retain the surplus for
the payment of his or her debts, and for the benefit of the heirs to whom it may
rightly belong.
But the said Consul-General, Consul, Vice-Consul or Consular Agent shall be
bound immediately to apply to the proper Court for letters of administration of the
effects left by the deceased, and these letters shall be delivered to him with such
limitations and for such time as to such Court may seem right.
2. If, however, the deceased leaves in the country of his or her decease and in
the above-named circumstances, any heir or universal legatee of other nationality
than his or her own, or to whom the civil status of his or her father or his or her
mother, as the case may be, cannot be granted, then each of the two Governments may
determine whether the proper Court shall proceed according to law, or shall confide
the collection and administration to the respective Consular officers under the proper
limitations. When there is no Consul-General, Consul, Vice-Consul, or Consular
Agent in the locality where the decease has occurred (in the case contemplated by
the first rule of this Article) upon whom devolves the custody and administration of
the estate, the proper authority shall proceed in these acts until the arrival of the
respective Consular officer.
CONVENTION BETWEEN JAPAN AND INDIA 239'
Art. II.—The stipulations of the present Convention shall be applicable, so far
as the laws permit, to all the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic
Majesty, excepting to those hereinafter named, that is to say, except to
India Natal Tasmania
The Dominion of Canada New South Wales South Australia
Newfoundland Victoria Western Australia
The Cape Queensland New Zealand
. Provided always that the stipulations of the present Convention shall be made
applicable to any of the above-named Colonies or foreign possessions, on whose
behalf notice to that effect shall have been given to the Japanese Government by Her
Britannic Majesty’s Representative at Tokyo, within two years from the date of the-
exchange of ratifications of the present Convention.
Art. III.—The present Convention shall come into force immediately after the
exchange of the ratifications thereof, and shall remain in force until the 17th July,
1911.
Either high contracting Power shall have the right at any time after the 16th
July, 1910, to give notice to the other of its intention to terminate the same, and at
the expiration of twelve months after such notice is given this Convention shall
wholly cease and determine.
Art. IV.—The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications thereof
shall be exchanged at Tokyo as soon as possible, and not later than six months from,
the present date.
In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and
have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.
Done at Tokyo, in duplicate, this 26th day of April, nineteen hundredth year
of the Christian era.

country permit or shall permit the subjects or citizens of any other foreign country
to acquire and possess, subject always to the conditions and limitations prescribed in
such laws. They may dispose of the same by sale, exchange, gift, marriage, testa-
ment, or in any other manner, under the same conditions which are or shall be estab-
lished with regard to native subjects. They shall also be permitted, on compliance
with the laws of the country, freely to export the proceeds of the sale of their pro-

of immovable property.
242 TREATY OF COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION

ceived exequaturs or other sufficient authorisations from .the Government of the
country to which they are appointed, shall have the right to exercise their functions,
and to enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities which are or may be granted
to the Consular officers of the most favoured nation. The Government issuing ex-
equaturs or other authorisations has the right in its discretion to cancel the same on
explaining the reasons for which it is thought proper to do so.
Art. V.—In case of the death of a subject of one of the high contracting
parties in the territories of the other, without leaving at the place of his decease any
person entitled by the laws of his country to take charge of and administer the
estate, the competent Consular officer of the State to which the deceased belonged
shall, upon fulfilment of the necessary formalities, be empowered to take custody of
and administer the estate in the manner and under the limitations prescribed by the
law of the country in which the property of the deceased is situated.
The foregoing provision shall also apply in case of a subject of one of the high
contracting pai-ties dying outside the territories of the other, but possessing property
therein, without leaving any person there entitled to take charge of and administer
the estate.

deceased persons, any right, privilege, favour, or immunity which either of the high
contracting parties has actually granted, or may hereafter grant, to the Consular
officers of any other foreign State shall be extended immediately and unconditionally

Art. YI.—There shall be between the territories of the two high contracting
parties reciprocal freedom of commerce and navigation. The subjects of each of the
high contracting parties shall have liberty freely to come with their ships and
cargoes to all places, ports, and rivers in the territories of the other, which are or
may be opened to foreign commerce, and, conforming themselves to the laws of the
country to which they thus come, shall enjoy the same rights, privileges, liberties,
favours, immunities, and exemptions in matters of commerce and navigation as are
or may be enjoyed by native subjects.

of any article, the produce or manufacture of the territories of either of the high
contracting parties, into the territories of the other, from whatever place arriving,
which shall not equally extend to the importation of the like articles, being the pro-
duce or manufacture of any other foreign country. This provision is not applicable
to the sanitary or other prohibitions occasioned by the necessity of securing the
safety of persons, or ot cattle, or of plants useful to agriculture.
BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND JAPAN 243

United Kingdom.
Provided that if at any time after the expiration of one year from the date this
Treaty takes effect either of the high contracting parties desires to make a modi-
sfication in thn Schedule it may notify its desire to the other high contracting party,
.and thereupon negotiations for the purpose shall be entered into forthwith. If the
negotiations are i ot brought to a satisfactory conclusion within six months from the
date of notification, the high contracting party which gave the notification may,
within one month, give six months’ notice to abrogate the present Article, and on
the expiration of such notice the present Article shall cease to have effect, without
prejudice to the other stipulations of this Treaty.
Art. IX.—Articles, the produce or manufacture of the territories of one of the
high contracting parties, exported to the territories of the other, shall not be sub-
jected on export to other or higher charges than those paid on the like articles ex-
ported to any other foreign country. Nor shall any prohibition or restriction be
imposed on the exportation of any article from the territories of either of the two
High Contracting Parties to the territories of the other which shall not equally
extend to the exportation of the like article to any other foreign country.
Art. X.—Articles, the produce or manufacture of the territories of one of the
high contracting parties, passing in transit through the territories of the other, in
conformity with the laws of the country, shall be reciprocally free from all transit
duties, whether they pass direct, or whether during transit they are unloaded, ware-
housed, and reloaded.
Art. XL—No internal duties levied for the benefit of the State, local authorities,
or corporations which afifect, or may affect, the production, manufacture, or consump-
tion ol any article in the territories of either of the high contracting parties shall

manufacture of the territories of the other than on similar articles of native origin.
The produce or manufacture of the territories of either of the high contracting
jparties imported into the territories of the other, and intended for warehousing or
transit, shall not be subjected to any internal duty.
Art. XII.—Merchants and manufacturers, subjects of one of the high contract-
ing parties, as well as merchants and manufacturers domiciled and exercising their
commerce and industries in the territories of such party, may, in the territories of
the other, either personally or by means of commercial travellers, make purchases or
collect orders, with or without samples, and such merchants, manufacturers, and
their commercial travellers, while so making purchases and collecting orders, shall,
in the matter of taxation and facilities, enjoy the most favoured nation treatment.
Articles imported as samples for the purposes above-mentioned shall, in each
country, be temporarily admitted free of duty on compliance with the Customs re-
gulations and formalities established to assure their re-exportation or the payment of
the prescribed Customs duties if not re-exported within the period allowed by law.
Hut the foregoing privilege shall not extend to articles which, owing to their quantity
or value, cannot be considered as samples, or which, owing to their nature, could not
be identified upon re-exportation. The determination of the question of the qualifica-
tion of samples for duty-free admission rests in all cases exclusively with the com-
petent authorities of the place where the importation is effected.
Art. XIII.—The marks, stamps, or seals placed upon the samples mentioned in
the preceding Article by the Customs authorities of one country at the time of ex-
portation, and the officially-attested list of such samples containing a full description
thereof issued by them, shall be reciprocally accepted by the Customs officials of the
other as establishing their character as samples and exempting them from inspection
-except so far as may be necessary to establish that the samples produced are those

affix a supplementary mark to such samples in special cases where they may think
this precaution necessary.
Art. XIV. —The Chambers of Commerce, as well as such other Trade Associations

subject to the laws of such other party.
Art. XVI.—Each of the higli contracting parties shall permit the importation or
exportation of all merchandise which may be legally imported or exported, and also
the carriage of passengers from or to their respective territories, upon the vessels of
the other; and such vessels, their cargoes, and passengers, shall enjoy the same
privileges as, and shall not be subjected to, any other or higher duties or charges
than national vessels and their cargoes and passengers.
Art. XVII.—-In all that regards the stationing, loading, and unloading of vessels
in the ports, docks, roadsteads, and harbours of the higli contracting parties, no
privileges or facilities shall be granted by either party to national vessels which are

the high contracting parties being that in these respects also the vessels of the two
countries shall be treated on the footing of perfect equality.

of either country upon the vessels of the other which shall not equally, under the
same conditions, be imposed in like cases on national vessels in general, or vessels to
the most-favoured nation. Such equality of treatment shall apply to the vessels of
either country from whatever place they may arrive and whatever may be their
destination.
Art. XX.—Vessels charged with performance of regular scheduled postal service
of one of the. high contracting parties shall enjoy in the territorial wTaters of the
other the same special facilities, privileges, and immunities as are granted to like
vessels of the most favoured nation.
Art. XXI.—The coasting trade of the high contracting parlies is excepted from
the provisions of the present Treaty, and shall be regulated according to the laws of
Japan and the United Kingdom respectively. It is, however, understood that the
subjects and vessels of either high contracting party shall enjoy in this respect
most favoured nation treatment in the territories of the other.
Japanese and British vessels may, nevertheless, proceed from one port to an-
other, either for the purpose of landing the whole or part of their passengers or
cargoes brought from abroad, or of taking on board the whole or part of their pas-
sengers or cargoes for a foreign destination.
It is also understood that, in the event of the coasting trade of either country being
exclusively reserved to national vessels, the vessels of the other country, if engaged
in trade to or from places not within the limits of the coasting trade so reserved,
shall not be prohibited from the carriage between two ports of the former country of
passengers holding
ing to or from placesthrough ticketstheor above-mentioned
not within merchandise consigned
limits,onand
through
while bills of lad-in
engaged
BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND JAPAN 245'
such carriage these vessels anc1 their cargoes shall enjoy the full privileges of this
Treaty.
Art. 'K XII.—If any seaman should desert from any ship belonging to either of the
high contracting parties in the territorial waters of the other, the local authorities
shall, within the limits of law, be bound to give every assistance in their power for
the recovery of such deserter, on application to that effect being made to them by the
competent Consular officer of the country to which the ship of the deserter may belong,
accompanied by an assurance that all expense connected therewith will be repaid.
It is understood that this stipulation shall not apply to the subjects of the
country where the desertion takes place.
Art. XXIII.—Any vessel of either of the high contracting parties which may be
compelled, by stress of weather or by accident, to take shelter in a port of the other
shall be at liberty to refit therein, to procure all necessary stores, and to put to sea
again, without paying any dues other than such as would be payable in the like case
by a national vessel. In case, however, the master of a merchant-vessel should be
under the necessity of disposing of a part of his merchandise in order to defray the-
expenses, he shall be bound to conform to the Eegulations and Tariffs of the place to
which he may have come.
If any vessel of one of the high contracting parties should run aground or be
wrecked upon the coasts of the other, such vessel, and all parts thereof, and all
furniture and appurtenances belonging thereunto, and all goods and merchandise
saved therefrom, including any which may have been cast into the sea, or the pro-
ceeds thereof, if sold, as well as all papers found on bo^rd such stranded or wrecked
vessel, shall be given up to the owners or their agents when claimed by them. If
there are no such owners or agents on the spot, then the same shall be delivered to
the Japanese or British Consular officer in whose district the wreck or stranding may
have taken place upon being claimed by him within the period fixed by the laws of
the country, and such Consular officer, owners, or agents shall pay only the expenses
incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the salvage or other ex-
penses which would have been payable in the like case of a wreck or stranding of a
national vessel.
The high contracting parties agree, moreover, that merchandise saved shall not
be subjected to the payment of any Customs duty unless cleared for internal con-
sumption.
In the case either of a vessel being driven in by stress of weather, run aground,
or wrecked, the respective Consular officers shall, if the owner or master or other
agent of the owner is not present, or is present and requires it, be authorised to
interpose in order to afford the necessary assistance to their fellow-countrymen.
Art. XXIV.—The high contracting parties agree that in all that concerns com-
merce, navigation, and industry, any favour, privilege, or immunity which either
high contracting party has actually granted, or may hereafter grant, to the ships,
subjects, or citizens of any other foreign State shall be extended immediately and
unconditionally to the ships or subjects of the other high contracting party, it
being their intention that the commerce, navigation, and industry of each country
shall be placed in all respects on the footing of the most favoured nation.
Art. XXV.—The stipulations of this Treaty do not apply to tariff concessions
granted by either of the high contracting parties to contiguous States solely to
facilitate frontier traffic within a limited zone on each side of the frontier, or to the
treatment accorded to the produce of the national fisheries of the high contracting
parties or to special tariff favours granted by Japan in regard to fish and other
aquatic products taken in the foreign waters in the vicinity of Japan.
Art. XXVI.—The stipulations of the present Treaty shall not be applicable to any
of His Britannic Majesty’s Dominions, Colonies, Possessions, or Protectorates beyond
the Seas, unless notice of adhesion shall have been given on behalf of any such
Dominion, Colony, Possession, or Pi’otectorate by His Britannic Majesty’s Repre-
sentative at Tokyo before the expiration of two years from the date of the exchange
of the ratifications of the present Treaty.
246 TREATY OP COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION

at Tokyo as soon as possible. It shall enter into operation on the 17th July, 1911,
and remain in force until the 16th July, 1923. In case neither of the high con-
tracting parties shall have given notice to the other, twelve months before the ex-
piration of the said period, of its intention to terminate the Treaty, it shall continue
operative until the expiration of one year from the date on which either of the high
contracting parties shall have denounced it.
As regards the British Dominions, Colonies, Possessions, and Protectorates to
which the present Treaty may have been made applicable in virtue of Article XXVI.,
however, either of the high contracting parties shall have the right to terminate it
separately at any time on giving twelve months’ notice to that effect.
It is understood that the stipulations of the present and of the preceding Article
referring to British Dominions, Colonies, Possessions, and Protectorates apply also
to the island of Cyprus.
In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present
Treaty, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE
UNITED STATES
Notes Exchanged at Washington, 30th November, 1908
Letter from Sir Kogoro TaiJcahira, Japanese Minister at Washington, to the Hon.
Elihu Root, American Secretary of State
Sir,—The exchange of views between us which has taken place at the several
interviews which I have recently had the honour of holding with you has shown that
Japan and the United States, holding important outlying insular possessions in the
region of the Pacific Ocean, the Governments of the two countries are animated by a
common aim, policy and intention in the region.
Believing that a frank avowal of that aim, policy and intention would not only
tend to strengthen the relations of friendship and good neighbourhood which have
immemorially existed between Japan and the United States, but would materially
contribute to the preservation of the general peace, the Imperial Government have
. authorised me to present to you an outline of their understanding of that common
aim, policy and intention.
1. It is the wish of the two Governments to encourage the free and peaceful
. development of their commerce on the Pacific Ocean.
2. The policy of both Governments, uninfluenced by any aggressive tendencies,
is directed to the maintenance of the existing status quo in the region above mention-
ed, and to the defence of the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and
industry in China.
3. They are accordingly firmly resolved reciprocally to respect the territorial
possessions belonging to each other in the said region.
4. They are also determined to preserve the common interests of all Powers in
China by supporting, by all pacific means at their disposal, the independence and
integrity of China, and the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and industry
of all nations in that empire.
5. Should any event occur threatening the status quo as above described, or the
principle of equal opportunity as above defined, it remains for the two Governments
•to communicate with each other in order to arrive at an understanding as to what
measures they may consider it useful to take.
If the foregoing outline accords with the view of the Government of the United
States, I shall be gratified to receive your confirmation.
From Hon. Elihu Root, American Secretary of State, to Sir Kogoro
Talcahira, Japanese Minister at Washington
Your Excellency,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Note
of to-day setting forth the result of the exchange of views between us in our recent
interviews defining the understanding of the two Governments in regard to their
policy in the region of the Pacific Ocean.
It is a pleasure to inform you that this expression of mutual understanding is
welcome to the Government of the United States as appropriate to the happy relations
of the two countries, and as the occasion for a concise mutual affirmation of that ac-
cordant policy respecting the Far East which the two Governments have so frequently
declared in the past.
I am happy to be able to confirm to your Excellency, on behalf of the United
States, the declaration of the two Governments embodied in the following words.
LThen follow the five points mentioned in Japan’s Note, which are repeated in
-exactly the same wording.]

ment shall exert itself to cause the construction by the railway company, outside the-
liiuits of the Changchun terminus, of crossings and viaducts to the points of the said
line and the principal roads between the Russian station of Kuanchengtze and the
town of Changchun.
Art. IV.—The detailed regulations relative to the transfer of passengers and
merchandise from one railway to the other shall be discussed and concluded between

TREATIES WITH SIAM
GREAT BRITAIN
TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP AND COMMERCE
Ratifications Exchanged at Bangkok, 15th April, 1856
Art. I.—There shall henceforward be perpetual peace and friendship between
Her Majesty and her successors, and Their Majesties the Kings of Siam and their
successors. All British subjects coming to Siam shall receive from the Siamese
Government full protection and assistance to enable them to reside in Siam in full
security, and trade with every facility, free from oppression or injury on the part of
the Siamese, and all Siamese subjects going to an English country shall receive from
the British Government the same complete protection and assistance that shall be
granted to British subjects by the Government of Siam.
Art. II.—The interests of all British subjects coming to Siam shall be placed under
the regulation and control of a Consul, who will be appointed to reside at Bangkok;
he will himself conform to, and will enforce the observance by British subjects of, all
the provisions of this Treaty, and such portions of the former Treaty negotiated by Cap-
tain Burney, in 1826, as shall still remain in operation. He shall also give effect to all
rules or regulations that are now or may hereafter be enacted for the government of
British subjects in Siam, and conduct of their trade, and for the prevention of viola-
tions of the laws of Siam. Any disputes arising between British and Siamese subjects
shall be heard and determined by the Consul, in conjunction with the proper
Siamese officers; and criminal offences will be punished, in the case of English
offenders, by their own laws, through the Siamese authorities. But the Consul shall
not interfere in any matters referring solely to Siamese, neither will the Siamese
authorities interfere in questions which only concern the subjects of Her Britannic
Majesty.
It is understood, however, that the arrival of the British Consul at Bangkok shby
not take place before the ratification of this Treaty, nor until ten vessels owned all
British subjects sailing under British colours and with British papers shall have
entered the port of Bangkok for the purposes of trade, subsequent to the signing of
this Treaty.
Art. III.—If Siamese in the employ of British subjects offend against the law of
their country, or if any Siamese having so offended, or desiring to desert, take refuge
with a British subject in Siam, they shall be searched for, and, upon proof of their
guilt or desertion, shall be delivered up by the Consul to the Siamese authorities. In
like manner any British offenders resident or trading in Siam who may desert, escape
to, or hide themselves in, Siamese territory, shall be apprehended and delivered over
to the British Consul on his requisition. Chinese not able to prove themselves to be
British subjects shall not be considered as such by the British Consul, nor be entitled
to his protection.
Art. TV.—British subjects are permitted to trade freely in all the seaports of Siam,
but may reside permanently only at Bangkok, or within the limits assigned by this
Treaty. British subjects coming to reside at Bangkok may rent land, buy or build
261 TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM
houses, but cannot purchase land within a circuit of 200 sen (not more than 4 miles
English) from the city walls, until they shall have lived in Siam for ten years, or shall
obtain special authority from the Siamese Glovemment to enable them to do so. But
with the exception of this limitation, British residents in Siam may at any time buy or
rent houses, lands, or plantations, situated anywhere within a distance of twenty-four
hours’ journey from the city of Bangkok, to be computed by the rate at which boats of
the country can travel. In order to obtain possession of such land or houses, it will be-
necessary that the British subject shall, in the first place, make application through the
Consul to the proper Siamese officers; and the Consul, having satisfied himself of the
honest intention of the applicant, will assist him in settling, upon equitable terms, the
amount of the purchase money, will mark out and fix the boundaries of the property,
and will convey the same to the British purchaser under sealed deeds. Whereupon
he and his property shall be placed under the protection of the G-overnor of the district
and that of the particular local authorities; he shall conform, in ordinary matters, to
any just directions given him by them, and will be subject to the same taxation that is
levied on Siamese subjects. But if, through negligence and want of capital or other
cause, a British subject should fail to commence the cultivation or improvement of the-
land so acquired within a term of three years from the date of receiving possession
thereof, the Siamese Government shall have the power of resuming the property, upon
returning to the British subject the purchase-money paid by him for the same.
Art. Y.—All British subjects intending to reside in Siam shall be registered at
the British Consulate. They shall not go out to sea, nor proceed beyond the limits
assigned by this Treaty for the residence of British subjects, without a passport from
the Siamese authorities, to be applied for by the Britsh Consul; nor shall they leave-
Siam if the Siamese authorities show to the British Consul that legitimate objection
exists to their quitting the country. But within the limits appointed under the
preceding article, British subjects are at liberty to travel to and fro under protection
of a pass, to be furnished them by the British Consul and counter-sealed by the proper
Siamese officer, stating, in the Siamese characters, their names, calling, and description.
The Siamese officers of the Government stations in the interior may, at any time, call
for the production of this pass, and immediately on its being exhibited they must
allow the parties to proceed; but it will be their duty to detain those persons who, by
travelling without a pass from the Consul, render themselves liable to the suspicion of
their being deserters; and such detention shall be immediately reported to the Consul.
Art. YI.—All British subjects visiting or residing in Siam shall be allowed the
free exercise of the Christian religion and liberty to build churches in such localities
as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities. The Siamese Government will
place no restriction upon the employment by the English of Siamese subjects as-
servants, or in any other capacity. But whenever a Siamese subject belongs to or owes
service to some particular master, the servant who engages himself to a British
subject without the consent of his master may be reclaimed by him; and the Siamese
Government will not enforce an agreement between a British subject and any Siamese
in his employ unless made with the knowledge and consent of the master who has a
right to dispose of the services of the person engaged.
Art. Yll.—British ships of war may enter the river and anchor at Paknam,
but they shall not proceed above Paknam, unless with the consent of the Siamese
authorities, which shall be given when it is necessary that a ship shall go into dock for
repairs. Any British ship of war conveying to Siam a public functionary accredited
by Her Majesty’s Government to the Court of Bangkok shall be allowed to come up to
Bangkok, but shall not pass the forts called Pong Phrachamit and Pit-patch-nuck,
unless expressly permitted to do so by the Siamese Government; but in the absence
of a British ship of war the Siamese authorities engage to furnish the Consul with a
force sufficient to enable him to give effect to his authority over British subjects and
to enforce discipline among British shipping.
Art. VIII.—The measurement duty hitherto paid by British vessels trading to
Bangkok under the Treaty of 1826 shall be abolished from the date of this Treaty
coming into operation, and British shipping and trade will henceforth be only subject
TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM 265
to the payment of import and export duties on the goods landed or shipped. On all
articles of import the duties shall be three per cent., payable at the option of the
importer, either in kind or money, calculated upon the market value of the goods.
Drawback of the full amount of duty shall be allowed upon goods found unsaleable
and re-exported. Should the British merchant and the Custom-house officers dis-
agree as to the value to be set upon imported articles, such disputes shall be referred
to the Consul and proper Siamese officer, who shall each have the power to call in an
equal number of merchants as assessors, not exceeding two on either side, to assist
them in coming to an equitable decision.
Opium may be imported free of duty, but can ouly be sold to the Opium Farmer
or his agents. In the event of no arrangement being effected with them for the sale
of the opium, it shall be re-exported, and no impost or duty shall be levied thereon.
Any infringement of this regulation shall subject the opium to seizure and confisca-
tion.
Articles of export from the time of production to the date of shipment shall pay
one import duty, whether this be levied under the name of inland tax, transit duty, or
duty on exportation. The tax or duty to be paid on each article of Siamese produce
previous to or upon exportation is specified in the tariff attached to this Treaty ; and
it is distinctly agreed that goods or produce which pay any description of tax in the
interior shall be exempted from any further payment of the duty on exportation.
English merchants are to be allowed to purchase directly from the producer the
articles in which they trade, and in like manner to sell their goods directly to the
parties wishing to purchase the same, without the interference, in either case, of any
otiier person.
The rates of duty laid down in the tariff attached to this Treaty are those that are
now paid upon goods or produce shipped in Siamese or Chinese vessels or junks; and
it is agreed that British shipping shall enjoy all the privileges now exercised by, or
which hereafter may be granted to, Siamese or Chinese vessels or junks.
British subjects will be allowed to build ships in Siam, on obtaining permission
to do so from the Siamese authorities.
Whenever a scarcity may be apprehended of salt, rice, or fish, the Siamese
Government reserve to themselves the right of prohibiting, by public proclamation,
the exportation of these articles.
Bullion or personal effects may be imported free of charge.
Art. IX.—The code of regulations appended to this Treaty shall be enforced by
the Consul, with the co-operation of the Siamese authorities; and they, the said
authorities and Consul, shall be enabled to introduce any further regulations which
may be necessary in order to give effect to the objects of this Treaty.
All fines and penalties inflicted for infraction of the provisions and regulations
of this Treaty shall be paid to the Siamese Government.
Until the British Consul shall arrive at Bangkok and enter upon his functions
the consignees of British vessels shall be at liberty to settle with the Siamese
authorities all questions relating to their trade.
Art. X.—The British Government audits subjects will be allowed free and equal
participation in any privileges that may have been, or may hereafter be, granted by
the Siamese Government to the government or subject of any other nation.
Art. XI.—After the lapse of ten years from the date of the ratification of this
Treaty, upon the desire of either the British or. Siamese Government, and on twelve
months’ notice being given by either party, the present and such portions of the
Treaty of 1826 as remain unrevoked by this Treaty, together with the Tariff and
the Regulations hereunto annexed, or those that may hereafter be introduced, shall be
subject to revision by Commissioners appointed on both sides for this purpose, who
will be empowered to decide on and insert therein such amendments as experience
shall prove to be desirable.

from 6 to 14, are equally to be observed by masters of British vessels and their crews.

Consulate at the port of Bangkok, as directed by the fourth regulation above quoted,

TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM 278
Annex 3
Mr. Paget to Prince Devawongse
M. le Ministre, March 10, 1909.
In view of the position of British possessions in the Malay Peninsula and of the
contiguity of the Siamese Malay provinces with British-protected territory, His
Majesty’s Government are desirous of receiving an assurance that the Siamese
Government will not permit any danger to arise to British interests through the use
of any portion of the Siamese dominions in the peninsula for military or naval
purposes by foreign Powers.
His Majesty’s Government would therefore request that the Siamese Govern-
ment shall not cede or lease, directly or indirectly, to any foreign Government any
territory situated in the Malay Peninsula south of the southern boundary of the
Monthon Rajaburi, or in any of the islands adjacent to the said territory; also that
within the limits above mentioned a right to establish or lease any coaling station, to
build or own any construction or repairing docks, or to occupy exclusively any harbours,
the occupation of which would be likely to be prejudicial to British interests from a
strategic point of view, shall not be granted to any foreign Government or Company.
Since this assurance is desired as a matter of political expediency only, the
phrase “coaling station” would not be held to include such small deposits of coal as
may be required for the purposes of the ordinary shipping engaged in the Malay
Peninsula coasting trade.
Prince Devavjongse to Mr. Paget
M. le Ministre, Foreign Office, Bangkok, March 10, 1909.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your note of this date, in which
you express the desire of your Government that the Siamese Government shall not
cede or lease, directly or indirectly, to any foreign Government any territory situated
in the Malay Peninsula south of the southern boundary of the Monthon Rajaburi
or in any of the islands adjacent to the said territory; also that within the limits
above-mentioned a right to establish or lease any coaling station, to build or own any
construction or repairing docks, or to occupy exclusively any harbours, the occupation
of which would be likely to be prejudicial to British interests from a strategic point
of view, shall not be granted to any foreign Government or company.
In reply, I beg to say that the Siamese Government gives its assurance to the
above effect, taking note that the phrase “coaling station” shall not include such
small deposits of coal as may be required for the purposes of the ordinary shipping
engaged in the Malay Peninsula coasting trade.
(Signed) Devawongse Varoprakar.
Prince Devawongse to Mr. Paget
M. le Ministre, Foreign Office, Bangkok, March 10, 1909.
With reference to the provision contained in Article IV. of the Jurisdiction
Protocol to the effect that in all cases in which a British subject is defendant or
accused a European adviser shall sit in Court, I would express the hope, on behalf of
His Majesty’s Government, that His Britannic Majesty’s Government will be prepared
in due course to consider the question of a modification of or release from this
guarantee when it shall be no longer needed; and, moreover, that in any negotiations
in connection with such a modification or release the matter may be treated upon its
merits alone, and not as a consideration for which some other return should be expected.
The Siamese Government appreciates that a Treaty like the one signed to-day
marks an advance in the administration of justice in the kingdom. The conclusion
of such a Treaty is in itself a sign of progress. It is the intention of the Siamese
Government to maintain the high standard in the administration of justice which it
has set before it, and towards which it has been working for some time.
In this connection I take pleasure in acknowledging the contribution which Mr.
J. Stewart Black has made to this work.
274 TREATY BETWEEN UNITED, KINGDOM AND SIAM
I wish also to say that provision will be made for the treatment of European
prisoners according to the standard usual for such prisoners in Burmah and the
Straits Settlements.
(Signed) Devawongse Yaroprakar.
Mr. Paget to Prince Devawongse
M. le Ministre, • March 10, 1909.
With reference to the guarantee contained in the first paragraph of Article IV. of
the Jurisdiction Protocol, I have the honour to state that His Majesty’s Government
will be prepared in due course to consider the question of modification of or release
from this guarantee when it shall no longer be needed. His Majesty’s Government
are also willing that in any negotiations in connection with such a modification or
release the matter shall be treated upon its merits alone, and not as a consideration
for which some other return shall be expected.
His Majesty’s Government leam with much satisfaction that it is the intention
of the Siamese Government to maintain the high standard in the administration of
justice which it has set before it, and towards which it has been working for same
time; and I may assure your Royal Highness that it will be the aim of His Majesty’s
Government in every manner to second the efforts of His Siamese Majesty’s Govern-
ment in this direction.
I wish also to say that the International Courts referred to in Section 1 of the,
Protocol on Jurisdiction annexed to the Treaty signed to-day need not necessarily be
Courts specially organized for this purpose. Provincial (“Monthon”) Courts or
District (“Muang”) Courts may constitute International Courts, according as British
subjects may be established in greater or less number within the jurisdiction of those
Courts. The fact that an ordinary Court is designated as an International Court will
have as a consequence the introduction into that ordinary Court of all the provisions
relating to International Courts secured by the Protocol on Jurisdiction.

FRANCE
TREATY BETWEEN ERANCE AND SIAM
Signed at Paris, February, 1904
I. —The frontier between Siam and Cambodia starts on the left
Great Lake, from the month of the Eiver Stung Euolos. It follows the parallel of
this point in an Eastward direction till it meets the Eiver Preak Kompung Tiam;
then, turning Northward, it corresponds to the meridian of that point till it reaches
the Pnom Dong-rek Mountains. Thence it follows the watershed between the basins
of the Nam-Sen and the Mekong on the one side, and of the Nam-Mun on the other,
and joins the Pnon Padang range, the crest of which it follows towards the East as
far as the Mekong. Above that point the Mekong remains the frontier of the King-
dom of Siam, in conformity with Clause I. of the Treaty of October 3, 1893.
II. —With regard to the frontier between Louang-Prabang, on t
of the Mekong, and the Provinces of Muang-Phichai and Muang-Nan, it starts from
the Mekong at its confluence with the Nam-Huong, and follows the thalweg of that
river to its confluence with the Nam-Tang. Then, ascending the course of the said
Eiver Nam-Tang, it reaches the'watershed between the basins of the Mekong and the
Menan, at a point situated near Pou-Dene-Dene. From that spot it turns Northward,
following the watershed between the two basins to the sources of the Eiver Nam-Kop,
the course of which it follows till it meets the Mekong.
III. —The delimitation of the frontier between the Kingdom o
territories forming French Indo-China shall be carried out. That delimitation shall
be made by mixed Commissions, composed of officers appointed by the two contracting
countries. The duties of those Commissions shall concern the frontier determined
by Clauses I. and II., as well as the region comprised between the Great Lake and
the sea. With the object of facilitating the work of the Commissions and of avoiding
every possible difficulty in the delimitation of the frontier in the region comprised
between the Great Lake and the sea, the two Governments will come to an agreement
before nominating the mixed Commissions, fixing the principal points of the delimita-
tion in that region, and especially the point at which the frontier will reach the sea.
The mixed Commissions shall be appointed and begin their work within four months
after the notification of the present Convention.
IV. —The Siamese Government renounces all Sovereign ri
territories of Louang-Prabang, situated on the right bank of the Mekonsr. Merchant
boats and wood rafts belonging to the Siamese shall have the right to navigate freely
that portion of the Mekong traversing the territory of Louang-Prabang.
V. —As soon as the Agreement stipulated for in Paragraph 2 o
relative to the delimitation of the frontier between the Great Lake and the sea, shall
have been established, and as soon as it has been officially notified to the French
authorities that the territory involved in this Agreement, and the territories situated
to the East of the frontier, as indicated in Clauses I. and II. of the present Treaty,
are at their disposal, the French troops which provisionally occupied Chantabun, in
virtue of the Convention of October 3, 1893, shall leave that town.
VI. —The stipulations of Clause IV. of the Treaty of October 3,
replaced by the following:—“ His Majesty the King of Siam undertakes that the
troops he sends or keeps throughout the whole of the Siamese Basin of the Mekong
shall always be troops of Siamese nationality, commanded by officers of that
nationality. The only exception to this rule is made in favour of the Siamese
Gendarmerie, at present commanded by Danish officers. Should the Siamese Govern-
ment wish to substitute for these officers foreign officers belonging to another
278 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND SIAM
nationality, it must previously come to an understanding with the French Govern-
ment. So far as the Provinces of Siem-Reap, Battambang, and Sesupon are
concerned, the Siamese Government undertakes to keep there none but the Police
Contingents necessary for the maintenance of order. These contingents shall be
■recruited exclusively on the spot, from among the native inhabitants.”
Vir.—In future, in the Siamese portion of the Mekong Basin, if the Royal
Government wishes to construct ports, canals, railways (especially railways intended
to connect the Capital with any point in that basin), it will come to an agreement
with the French Government, if such works cannot be exclusively executed by
Siamese and with Siamese capital. The same would naturally apply to the working
of the said enterprises. Witli regard to the use of the ports, canals, and railways in
the Siamese portion of the Mekong Basin, as well as in the rest of the Kingdom, it is
understood that no differential rights shall be established, contrary to the principle of
commercial equality included in the Treaties signed by Siam.
VIII. —In execution of Clause VI. of the Convention of
pf land of a superficial area to be determined shall be ceded by the Siamese Govern-
ment to the Government of the Republic at the following points situated on the right
bank of the Mekong:—Xieng-Kheng, Mong-Kheng, Mong-Sing; on the right or left
bank—Mong-Dahan, Kemmarat, and the mouth of the Nam-Mong. The two Gov-
ernments will come to an understanding to clear the course of the Nam-Moun, be-
tween its confluents with the Mekong and Pimun, of the obstacles which hinder
navigation. In case of those works being found impossible to execute, or too costly,
the two Governments will concert together for the establishment of communication
by land between Pimun and Mekong. They will also come to an understanding for
the construction between Bassak and the frontier of Louang-Prabang, of the railway
lines which may be recognised as necessary owing to the innavigability of the Mekong.
IX. —It is from the present moment agreed that the two
facilitate the establishment of a railway connecting Pnom Penh and Battanbang. The
construction and working shall be undertaken either by the Governments themselves,
each undertaking the portion which is on its territory, or by a Franco-Siamese Com-
pany accepted by the two Governments. The two Governments are agreed on the
necessity of carrying out work for the improvement of the course of the river between
the Great Lake and Battanbang. W(th that object in view, the French Government
is ready to place at the disposal of the Siamese Government the technical agents it
may require, both for the execution and maintenance of the said works.
X. —The Government of his Majesty the King of Siam accept
French proteges such as they exist at the present moment, with the exception of the
persons whose licences may be recognised by both parties as having been illegally
obtained. A copy of these lists will be communicated to the Siamese authorities by
the French authorities. The descendents of the proteges thus maintained under
French jurisdiction shall not have the right to claim their licence if they do not be-
long to the category of persons described in the following Clause of the present
Convention :—
XI. —Persons of Asiatic origin born in a territory subject to the direct domina-
tion, or placed under the Protectorate of France, except those who took up their
residence in Siam previous to the time when the territory on which they were bom
was placed under that domination, or that Protectorate, shall have the right to
French protection. French protection will be granted to the children of those
persons, but it shall not extend to their grandchildren.
XII. —So far as concerns the jurisdiction to which, for the
exception, all French subjects and all French proteges shall be subjected to in Siam,
the two Governments agree to substitute for the existing regulations the following:—
1. In criminal matters, French subjects or French proteges shall only
be amenble to French judicial authority.
2. In civil matters, all actions brought by a Siamese against a Frenchman
or French protege, shall be heard before the French Consular Court. All
actions in which the defendant is a Siamese shall be heard before the Siamese
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND SIAM 279:
Court of Foreign Causes, iustituted at Bangkok. Except in the provinces of
Xieng Mai, Lakhon, Lampoun, and Nan, all civil and criminal cases involving
French subjects and proteges shall be heard before the International Siamese
Court. But it is understood that in all these cases the French Consul shall
have the right of being present at the trial, or of being represented by a
duly authorised deputy, and of making all observations which may appear
to him to be required in the interest of justice. In the case of the
defendant being French or a French protege, the French Consul may, at any
time during the proceedings, if he thinks fit, and upon a written requisition,
claim to hear the case. The case shall then be transferred to the French
Consular Court, which, from this moment, shall alone be competent, and to
which the Siamese authorities are bound to give their assistance and good offices.
Appeals against the judgments delivered both by the Court of Foreign Causes,
as well as the International Court, shall be taken before the Court of Appeal at
Bangkok.
XIII.—With regard to the future admission to French protection of Asiatics
who are not born on territory under the direct authority or the protectorate of France,
or who may not find themselves legally naturalised, the Government of the Republic
shall enjoy rights equal to those which Siam may accord to any other Power.
XIY.—The Regulations under former Treaties, Agreements, and Conventions'
between France and Siam, which are not modified by the present Convention, remain
in full force.
XY.—In case of difficulties in the intei-pretation of the present Convention
which is drawn up in French and Siamese, the French text alone shall stand.
XVI.—The present Convention shall be ratified within four months from the
day of the signature, or earlier if possible.

The frontier follows the crest of the Pnom-Krevimli in a northerly direction aa
far as Pnom-Thom, which is situated on the main line of the watershed, between
the rivers which flow towards the gulf of Siam, and those which flow towards the Great
Lake. From Pnom-Thom, the frontier follows at first in a north-westerly direction,
then in a northerly direction, the actual frontier between the Province of Battambang
on the one hand, and that of Chantaboum and Kratt on the other, as far as the point
where this frontier joins the river called Nam-Sai. It then follows the course of this
river as far as its confluence with the River of Sisophon, and the latter river to a
point situated 10 kilom. below the town of Aranh. Lastly, from this latter point, it
continues in a straight line to a point situated on the Dang-Reck, halfway between
the passes called Chong-Ta-Koh and Chong-Sa-Met. It is understood that this latter
line must leave in Siamese territory the direct route between Aranh and Chong-Ta-Koh.
From the above-mentioned point, situated on the crest of Dang-Reck, the
frontier follows the watershed between the basin of the Great Lake and the Mekong
on the one side, and the basin of the Nam-Moun on the other, and touches the*
Mekong below Pak-Moun, at the mouth of the Huei-Doue, in conformity with the
sketch map adopted by the last Commission of Delimitation on the 18th January, 1907.
Clause II.—From the side of Luang-Prabang, the frontier quits the Mekong, in
the south, at the mouth of the H am-Huong, and follows the thalweg of that river as-
far as its source which is situated at the Phu-Khao-Mieng. Thence the frontier
follows the watershed between the Mekong and the Menam and tern:mates in the
Mekong, at the point called Keng-Pha-Dai, in conformity with the sketch map-
adopted by the last Commission of Delimitation of the 16th January, 1906.
Clause III.—The Commission of Delimitation arranged for in Article IV. of
the Treaty of to-day’s date shall determine and trace if necessary, on the spot, that
portion of the frontier which is described in Clause I. of the present Protocol.
If, in the course of the work of delimitation, the French Government should wish
to obtain a rectification of the frontier with a view to substituting natural lines for
conventional lines, this rectification cannot be made, in any case, to the detriment
of the Siamese Government.
In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present
Protocol, and have affixed their seals.

OPIUM AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN
AND PORTUGAL
Signed at London, June 14th, 1913
In pursuance of the conclusions of the International Opium Conference, and in
consideration of the fact that the geographical situation of the colonies of Macao and
Hongkong makes it necessary to regulate in a similar way the opium monopolies in
the said colonies in all matters concerning the restriction of the consumption, sale,
and exportation of prepared opium and repression of smuggling;
10
290 OPIUM AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND PORTUGAL.
The undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective Governments, have
agreed to the following Articles:—
Art. I.—The Government of the Portuguese Republic, whilst reserving the right
of managing and controlling the manipulation of raw opium and the sale of prepared
opium in the Colony of Macao, engage to introduce in the opium regulations of that
Colony clauses and provisions similar to those contained in the regulations of Hong-
kong relative to the repression of the illicit trade in prepared opium.
Art. II.—The Macao Opium Parmer will not be permitted to import more than
260 chests of opium (a chest means 40 balls of raw opium) per annum exclusively
destined for the consumption of the fixed and floating population of Macao.
Art. III.—The Hongkong Opium Parmer will not be permitted to import more
than 540 chests per annum. These imports shall be exclusively destined for the con-
sumption of the fixed and floating population of Hongkong. These figures are em-
bodied in the contract recently concluded with the Hongkong farmer.
Art. IV.—The farmers of Macao and Hongkong will be permitted to import,
per annum, respectively, 240 and 120 chests of raw opium exclusively destined for
exportation to countries which have not prohibited at present or which shall not
prohibit hereafter such imports of opium.
Art. V.—The limit fixed in the preceding Article for Hongkong must be con-
sidered a definite one and not subject to alteration; however, it is understood that
in Macao power will be retained to increase the number of chests of raw opium im-
ported each year and destined for exportation, provided that proof is given that the
said imports are destined to meet the requirements of lawful trade. For this pur-
pose the farmer shall produce to the Governor of Macao Customs certificates passed
by the authorities of countries importing the opium showing that the quantities
authorized are required for legitimate purposes, over and above the 249 chests
referred to in Article 4.
Art. VI.—The Governor of Macao will have power to grant licences under the
prece ling Article for the importation of the quantities of raw opium exceeding the
limit fixed in Article IV.
Art. VII—Whereas the limit of chests of raw opium that can be imported
annually into Macao has been fixed in Articles II., IV., and V. of this Agreement,
the Government of India will permit the purchase of opium in open market at the
sales at Calcutta or Bombay or any places in India, for export to Macao, up to and
not exceeding the limits and conditions so fixed, so long as the Opium Farmer at
Hongkong is permitted to obtain his supplies from this source.
Art. VIII.—Raw opium coming from India, consigned to the farmer of Macao,
within the limits and conditions above indicated, will be allowed transhipment at
Hongkong free of duty or taxation.
Art. IX.—It is understood that if after periods of five years (the duration of
the contracts of the farmer) the numbers of chests agreed upon for local consump-
tion at or export from Macao should respectively prove to be excessive, the Portu-
guese Government will consider the desirability of revising the amount in question.
The present agreement shall remain in force for a period of ten years, but may
be terminated by either Government at any time on giving to the other twelve
months’ notice of its intention to do so. On the expiration of the said period of ten
years it shall continue in force, unless and until a similar notice of termination is
given by either Government.

merely formal parts of documents; but the documents omitted to be copied or printed
shall be enumerated in a list to be placed after the index or at the end of the Record.

the same matter, and the Supreme Court is of opinion that it would be for the con-
venience of the Lords of the Judicial Committee and all parties concerned that the
Appeals should be consolidated, the Court may direct the A ppeais to be consolidated
and grant leave to appeal by a single order.

by the respondent, rescind the order granting conditional leave to appeal, notwith-
standing the appellant’s compliance with the conditions imposed by such order, and

by the appellant as the Court shall think fit, or make such further or other order in
- the premises as, in the opinion of the Court, the justice of the case requires.

as, in the opinion of the Court, the justice of the case requires.

made by any person interested, grant a certificate showing who, in the opinion of the
Court, is the proper person to be substituted or entered on the Record in place of, or
in addition to, the party who has died, or undergone a change of status, and the name
. of such person shall thereupon be deemed to be so substituted or entered on the Re-
cord as aforesaid without express Order of His Majesty in Council.

far as practicable, be printed in the margin, and care shall be taken to avoid, as far
as possible, the reprinting in the Case of long extracts from the Record. The taxing

incurred in China, such costs shall be taxed by the proper officer of the Supreme Court in
accordance with the rules for the time being regulating taxation in the Supreme Court.

probability of his ever being able to attend and give evidence, and that
the defendant had notice and the opportunity of cross-examination, the
statement may be read in evidence, either for or against the accused,
without further proof.

upon the trial, by the oath of any credible witness, that such witness is “e^riai™^
dead, or out of the jurisdiction, or so ill as not to be able to travel, and
if it also be proved that the deposition was taken in the presence of the
accused, ami that he or his legal practitioner had a full opportunity of
cross-examining the witness, then if the deposition purport to be signed
by the Court before which it was taken it shall be lawful to read such
deposition as evidence at the trial, without further proof, unless it shall
be proved that the deposition was not in fact signed by the Court
purporting to have signed the same.
11. In any case in which a person is dying, in consequence of h^ng doc,ara‘
injuries received from another, he may make a declaration orally or in
writing to any officer of the Court, surgeon, minister of religion, or other
competent person, who may subsequently prove the declaration, which
may then, in case of the death of the declarant, be used as evidence in
any trial arising out of the injuries inflicted on him.
In order to render this declaration admissible, three material points
must be insisted on, viz.:—
(1) The inquiry must relate to the cause of the death of the
declarant;
(2) The circumstances leading to the death must be the subject of
the-declaration; and
(3) At the time of making the declaration, the declarant must be
perfectly aware of his danger, and entertain no hope of recovery.
Such a declaration is not to be on oath.

examined, the Court may issue a summons under its hand and seal
requiring such person to appear at the hearing of the case for the purpose
of giving evidence, or to bring with him and to produce for examination
such accounts, papers, or documents as he may have in his power. If
the person so summoned omits, without a valid excuse, to appear at the
appointed time and place, and it is proved to the satisfaction of the Court
that the summons was served upon him personally or by leaving it with
Form 10. some person at his last or most usual place of abode, and that a reason-
able sum was tendered him for his costs and expenses (if any), the Court
may issue a warrant to bring such witness before the Court to give
evidence.
(2) When from any cause a summons cannot be served personally
on a witness, a notice may be left with the summons, to the effect that
a sum sufficient for the reasonable expenses of the witness will be paid
to him on application at an address to be set out in the notice, and such
notice shall have all the effect of a tender.
Form 11. (3) Or if the Court is satisfied on oath that a person able to give
evidence on either side will not appear, or will not bring with him any
accounts, papers, or documents, unless compelled to do so, it may issue
a warrant in the first instance.
Form 12. (4) And if on the appearance of a witness, whether in obedience to
a summons or on a warrant, such witness shall, without just excuse,
refuse to be examined or to take an oath, or having taken the oath,
to reply to such questions as may be put to him, or, shall neglect or
refuse to produce any accounts, documents, and papers as aforesaid, the
Court may adjourn the proceedings for any period not exceeding seven
days, and may in the meantime by warrant commit the witness to prison,
unless he shall sooner consent to be examined and to answer, or to produce
such accounts, papers, or documents as aforesaid; and if upon the adjoura-
ed hearing, he shall still refuse, the Court may again adjourn and commit
the witness for a like period, and so again from time to time until he
consent, provided teat such imprisonment shall not exceed one month in
the whole

dispose of the case, or send it for trial without the examina-
tion of the witness, if it has received sufficient evidence. But in
such case, when the case is to be sent up t > another Court, the name of
such witness, with particulars of his default, shall accompany the
depositions.

the Court a reasonable cause to suspect that any person, subject to the
provisions of the Principal Order, has in his possession or on his premises

respect to which any offence, punishable either upon indictment or upon
summary conviction, shall have been committed, or upon a representation

search for such property or person.
(2) A search-warrant may be issued and executed as well on Sun-
days and holidays as on other days, and by night as well as by day.
(3) The person to whom a search-warrant is addressed alone has the
power to execute it, but may take with him as many persons as are
necessary to assist him.
(4) If the house or place is kept closed after the person executing
the warrant has demanded admission and declared his authority and the
object of his visit, he may break it open.
(5) When the alleged offence is one within Article 70 (as to
Smuggling) of the Principal Order, a search-warrant may be granted by
the Court of its own motion, without a sworn information.

time before committing the accused for trial, the depositions must be
read over to the several deponents, who are to sign them. If after hear-
ing them read they desire to add to or to vary their deposition in any
way, they must do so before signing and in the presence of the accused,

shall frame in writing a charge against the accused, which shall be read
over to him.
45. After the charge is read to the accused the Court must address sutement of
him to the following effect: “Having heard the evidence, do you wish to eaecuse •
say anything in answer to the charge? You are not obliged to say any-
thing unless you desire to do so, but whatever you say will be taken down
in writing, and may be given in evidence against you upon your trial.
You have nothing to hope from any promise of favour, and nothing to
fear from any threat that may have been held out to you to induce you
to make any admission, but whatever you may say will be taken down,
and may be used as evidence against you at your trial.” And whatever
the accused may say in reply must be written down and read to him, and Form 29.
afterwards signed by the Court and kept among the depositions. And
the fact of the caution having been administered and the words used

THE UNITED STATES COURT EOR CHINA
(Chapter 3,934, Prescribing the Jurisdiction of the Court.)
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States1
of America in Congress Assembled, That a Court is hereby established, to be called5
che United States Court for China, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction in all
cases and judicial proceedings whereof jurisdiction may now be exercised by United-
States Consuls and Ministers by law and by virtue of treaties between the United:
States and China, except in so far as the said jurisdiction is qualified by Section 2
of this Act. The said Court shall hold sessions at Shanghai, China, and shall also'
held sessions at the cities of Canton, Tientsin, and Hankow at stated periods, the
dates of such sessions at each city to be announced in such manner as the Court shall
direct, and a session of the Court shall be held in each of these cities at least once'
annually. It shall be within the power of the judge, upon due notice to the parties
in litigation, to open and hold Court for the hearing of a special cause at any place
permitted by the treaties, and where there is a United States Consulate, when, in
his judgment, it shall be required by the convenience of witnesses, or by some public
interest. The place of sitting of the Court shall be in the United States Consulate
at each of the cities, respectively.
That the seal of the said United States Court for China shall be the arms of
the United States, engraved on a circular piece of steel of the size of a half dollar,
with these words on the margin, “The Seal of the United States Court for China.”
The seal of said Court shall be provided at the expense of the United States.
All writs and processes issuing from the said Court, and all transcripts, records,
copies, jurats, acknowledgments, and other papers requiring certification or to be
under seal, may be authenticated by said seal, and shall be sicned by the clerk of
said Court. All processes issued from the said Court shall bear test from the day of
such issue.
Sec. 2.—The Consuls of the United States in the cities of China to which they
are respectively accredited shall have the same jurisdiction as they now possess in
civil cases where the sum or value of the property involved in the controversy does
not exceed five hundred dollars United States money, and in criminal cases where the
punishment for the offence charged cannot exceed by law one hundred dollars’ fine
or sixty days’ imprisonment, or both, and shall have power to arrest, examine, and
discharge accused persons or commit them to the said Court. From all final judg-
ments of the Consular Court either party shall have the right of appeal to the United
States Court for China: Provided, Also, That appeal may be taken to the United'
States Court for China from any final judgment of the Consular Courts of the United
States in Korea so long as the rights of extra-territoriality shall obtain in favour of
the United States. The said United States Court for China shall have and exerci-e
supervisory control over the discharge by Consuls and Vice-Consuls of the duties-
prescribed by the laws of the United States relating to the estates of decedents in
China. Within sixty days after the death in China of any citizen of the United
States, or any citizen of any territory belonging to the United States, the Consul or
Vice-Consul whose duty it becomes to take possession of the effects < f such deceased-
person under the laws of the United States shall file with the clerk • f said Court a
sworn inventory of such effects, and shall, as additional effects come from time to
time into his possession, immediately file a supplemental inventory or inventories of
.438 THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR CHINA
the same. He shall also file with the clerk of said Court within said sixty days a
schedule under oath of the debts of said decedent, so far as known, and a schedule
.or statement of all additional debts thereafter discovered. Such Consul or Vioe-
Consul shall pay no claims against the estate without the written approval of the
judge of said Court, nor shall he make sale of any of the assets of said estate without
first reporting the same to said judge and obtaining a written approval of said sale,
and he shall likewise within ten days after any such sale report the fact of such sale
to said Court, and the amount derived therefrom. The said judge shall have power
to require at any time reports from Consuls or Vice-Consuls in respect of all their
acts and doings relating to the estate of any such deceased person. The said Court
shall have power to require, where it may be necessary, a special bond for the
faithful performance of his duty to be given by any Consul or Vice-Consul into whose
possession the estate of any such deceased citizen shall have come in such amount
and with such sureties as may be deemed necessary, and for failure to give such
hond when required, or for failure to properly perform his duties in the premises,
the Court may appoint some other person to take charge of said estate, such person
having first given bond as aforesaid. A record shall he kept by the clerk of said
Court of all proceedings in respect of any such estate under the provisions hereof.
Sec. 3.—That appeals shall lie from all final judgments or decrees of said Court
to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the ninth judicial circuit, and thence
appeals and writs of error may be taken from the judgments or decrees of the said
Circuit Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States in the same class
of cases as those in which appeals and writs of error are permitted to judgments of
said Court of Appeals in cases coming from District and Circuit Courts of the United
States. Said appeals or writs of error shall be regulated by the procedure govern-
ing appeals within the United States from the District Courts to the Circuit Courts of
Appeal, and from the Circuit Courts of Appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States, respectiv. lv, so far as the same shall be applicable; and said Courts are here-
by empowered to hear and determine appeals and writs of error so taken.
Sec. 4.—The jurisdiction of said United States Court, both original and on
appeal, in civil and criminal matters, and also the jurisdiedon of the Consular Courts
in China, shall in all cases be exercised in conformity with said treaties and the laws
of the United States now in force in reference to the American Consular Courts in
China, and all judgments and decisions of said Consular Courts, and all decisions,
judgments, and decrees of said United States Court, shall be enforced in accordance
with said treaties and laws. But in all such cases when laws are deficient in the
provisions necessary to give jurisdiction or to furnish suitable remedies, the common
law and the law as established by the decisions of the Courts of the United States
shall be applied by said Court in its decisions and shall govern the same subject to
the terms of any treaties between the United States and China.
Sec. 5.—That the procedure of the said Court shall be in accordance, so far as

CHINESE EMIGRATION IN BRITISH SHIPS
Emigration
Under the Imperial Chinese Passengers’ Act, 1855, any vessel clearing with more
than twenty Asiatics on a voyage of more than seven days’ duration is a Chinese
passenger ship.
Proclamations of 26th January, 1856, and 17th November, 1858, declare the
length of certain voyages.
Ordinance 1 of 1889, Sections 3 and 4, give the legal definition of a voyage.
Section 46 of the same Ordinance provides that all ships proceeding on a voyage
of not more than thirty days’ duration shall be subject to the regulations contained
in the following Schedule : —
1. No ship shall clear out or proceed to sea unless the master thereof shall have
received from an Emigration Officer a copy of these regulations and a certificate in the
form contained in schedule K, nor until the master shall have entered into the bond
prescribed by Section IY. of “ The Chinese Passengers’ Act, 1855.”
2. No Emigration Officers shall be bound to give such certificate till seven days
after receiving an application in writing for the same from the owners or charterers
of the ship, or, if absent, from their respective agents, specifying the name of the ship,
her tonnage, the port of destination, the proposed day of departure, the number of
passengers intended to be carried, and whether such passengers or any of them are
under contracts of service.
3. After receiving such application, the Emigration Officer, and any person
authorized by him in that behalf shall be at liberty at all times to enter and inspect
the ship, and the fittings, provisions, and stores therein, and any person impeding
such entry or inspection, or refusing to allow of the same, shall be liable to a fine
not exceeding one hundred dollars for each offence.

above twelve years of age, and for every two passengers between the
ages of one and twelve years. The height between decks shall be at
least six feet.
(2) The accommodation for female passengers between decks shall be separate
from that provided for male passengers.
(3) A space of four superficial feet per adult shall be left clear on the uppei
deck for the use of the passengers.
(4) A reasonable space shall be set apart properly divided and fitted up as
a sick bay, and sufficient latrines, both as to condition and number, shall
be provided in suitable parts of the ship.
5. The Emigration Officer may, in his discretion, permit deck passengers to
be carried, upon such conditions as may, from time to time, be prescribed
under instructions from one of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, and
until and subject to such instructions upon the conditions following :—
(1) A suitable awning with screen shall be provided on deck, sufficient for
the protection of the passengers from the sun and from rain.

the ages of one and twelve.
(3) In case deck passengers shall be carried in addition to other passengers

be appropriated for deck passengers shall be reckoned exclusively of the
space of four superficial feet per adult required to be left clear on the
upper deck for the use of such other passengers.

quantity, or mode of stowage, to prejudice the health or safety of the
passengers.

have been placed on board, of good quality, properly packed and suffi-

8. The Emigration Officer may, in his discretion (subject in Hongkong to an
appeal to the Governor) withhold his certificate in all cases where the intended pas-

sengers are in bad health, or insufficiently provided with clothing, or if any contracts
are'^unfair, or if there is reason to suspect that fraud and violence have been
practised in their collection or embarkation, he may detain the ship, and if he shall
think fit, may order all or any of the passengers to be re-landed.
9. The Emigration Officer may, if he shall think fit, before granting his certificate

Officer shall grant his certificate or not.
