29th August, 1842
Ratifications Exchanged at Hongkong, 26th June, 1843
Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and His Majesty the Emperor of China, being desirous of putting an end to the
misunderstandings and consequent hostilities which have arisen between the two
countries, have resolved to conclude a treaty for that purpose, and have therefore

Britain and Ireland, Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., a Major-General in the Service of
the East India Company, &c.; and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China,

the Crown Prince, and General of the Garrison of Canton: and Ilipoo, of the Imperial
Kindred, graciously permitted to wear the insignia of the first rank, and the distinc-
tion of a peacock’s feather, lately Minister and Governor-General, &c., and now
Lieut.-General commanding at Chapoo—Who, after 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.—There shall henceforward be peace and friendship between Her Majesty
the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and His Majesty the
Emperor of China, and between their respective subjects, who shall enjoy full security
and protection for their persons and property within the dominions of the other.
Art. II.—His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees that British subjects, with
their families and establishments, shall be allowed to reside, for the purpose of carry-
ing on their mercantile pursuits, without molestation or restraint, at the cities and
towns of Canton, Amoy, Foochow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai; and Her Majesty the
Queen of Great Britain, &c., will appoint superintendents, or consular officers, to
reside at each of the above-named cities or towns, to be the medium of communication
between the Chinese authorities and the said merchants, and to see that the just
duties and other dues of the Chinese Government, as hereinafter provided for, are
duly discharged by Her Britannic Majesty’s subjects.
Art. III. —It being obviously necessary and desirable that British subjects should
have some port whereat they may careen and refit their ships when required, and keep
stores for that purpose, His Majesty the Emperor of China cedes to Her Majesty the
Queen of Great Britain, &c., the Island of Hongkong to be possessed in perpetuity
by Her Britannic Majesty, her heirs, and successors, and to be governed by such laws
and regulations as Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., shall see fit to direct.
Art. IV.—The Emperor of China agrees to pay the sum of six millions of dollar’s,

1839, as a ransom for the lives of Her Britannic Majesty’s Superintendent and sub-
jects who had been imprisoned and threatened with death by the Chinese high officers.
Art. V.—The Government of China having compelled the Britishmerchants trading
at Canton to deal exclusively with certain Chinese merchants, called Hong merchants (or
Co-Hong), who had been licensed by the Chinese Government for this purpose, the
Emperor of China agrees to abolish that practice in future at all ports where British
merchants may reside, and to permit them to carry on their mercantile transactions
with whatever persons they please; and His Imperial Majesty further agrees to pay to
the British Government the sum of three millions of dollars, on account of debts due

out an expedition to demand and obtain redress for the violent and unjust proceeding,
of the Chinese high authorities towards Her Britannic Majesty’s officers and subjects

of expenses incurred; and Her Britannic Majesty’s plenipotentiary voluntarily agrees,
on behalf of Her Majesty, to deduct from the said amount of twelve millions of
dollars, any sums which may have been received by Her Majesty’s combined forces,

finement at this moment in any part of the Chinese Empire.

imperial sign manual and seal, a full and entire amnesty and act of indemnity to all
subjects of China, on account of their having resided under, or having had dealings
and intercourse with, or having entered the service of Her Britannic Majesty, or of
Her Majesty’s officers; and His Imperial Majesty further engages to release all
Chinese subjects who may be at this moment in confinement for similar reasons.
Art. X.—His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to establish at all the
ports which are, by Article II. of this Treaty, to be thrown open for the resort of
British merchants, a fair and regular tariff of export and import, customs and other
dues, which tariff shall be publicly notified and promulgated for general information;
and the Emperor further engages that, when British merchants shall have once
paid at any of the said ports the regulated customs and dues, agreeable of the tariff
to be hereafter fixed, such merchandise may be conveyed by Chinese merchants
to any province or city in the interior of the empire of China, on paying a further
amount of transit duties, which shall not exceed per cent, on the tariff value of
such goods.

officers in the provinces under the term “ statement,” on the part of the former, and
on the part of the latter, “ declaration,” and the subordinates of both countries on a

ments.

until the money payments, and the arrangements for opening the ports to British
merchants, be completed.

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

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
to 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

TIENTSIN TEE ATY, 1858
property, the 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

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 port£, 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

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. XXIY.—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. XXY.—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 Revenue to meet, at Shanghai, officers to be deputed on behalf
of the British Glovernment, 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
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 at the end of each successive ten years.
Art. XXVIII.—Whereas it was agreed in Article X. of the Treaty of Nanking
that British imports, having paid the tariff duties, should be conveyed into the interior,
free 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 fromall further 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 ofCustoms 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. XXXIY.—Sets of standard weights and measures, prepared 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 ou 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 bis 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 permission,
he shall be fined fivehundred 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, &c. 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 within 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. XLYI.—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. XLYII.—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. A ny vessel violating this
provision shall, with her cargo, be subject to confiscation by the Chinese Government.
Art. XLYIII.—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 H “I” (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. LIE—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. LHf.—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. LIY.—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. LY.—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
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 ol State for Foreign Affairs, dated 1st January, 1876.
This contained instructions regarding the disposal of three questions: first, a satis-
factory settlement of the Tiinnan 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 :-j—
Section I.—Settlement of the Yiinnan Case
1. —A Memorial is to be presented to the Throne, whether
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
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 the
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
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 t
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
14 THE CHEFOO CONVENTION, 1876
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 he free to address themselves to the authorities of the province. The opening
©f 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 Tiinnan,
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
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 wr
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 T&ung-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 Septe
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 Eepresentatives 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 XVI., lays down
who may be guilty of any criminal act towards British subjects shall be arrested and
punished by 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 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.”
lu 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
THE CHEFOO CONVENTION, 1876 15
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, inyiting 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.—It is agreed that, whenever a crime is committed affecting the person or
property of a British subject, whether in the interior or at the open ports, the British
Minister shall be Tree to send officers to the spot to be present at the investigation.
To the prevention of misunderstanding on this point. Sir Thomas Wade will
write a Note to the above effect, to which the Tsung-li Yamen 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 justice. 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
XYI. 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,
lekin ought not to be collected on foreign goods at the open ports, Sir Thomas Wade
agrees to move his G-overnment 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-
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 River, 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.
16 THE CHEFOO CONVENTION, 1876
2. —At all ports open to trade, whether by earlier or later ag
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 Governm
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 lehin, in order to the prevention of evasion of the Treaty. The
amount of lehin to be collected will be decided by the different Provincial Govern-
ments according to the circumstances of each.
4. —The Chinese Government agree that Transit Duty
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
which a drawback nmy 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. —The 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 lehin upon opium by the Customs Inspectorate
at the same time as the Tariff Duty upon it, will be fixed as soon as the British
Government has arrived at an understanding on the subject with other foreign
Governments.
7. —The Governor of Hongkong having long complained o
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, for
the establishment of some system that shall enable the Chinese Government to;
pro-tect its revenue without prejudice to the interests of the Colony.
[Two separate articles—now obsolete—were attached to this treaty, one re-
lating to a contemplated Mission of Exploration through China to Tibet and India,
in 1877, and the other relating to the regulation of the traffic in opium.]
THE CHUNGKING AGREEMENT, 1890
ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT
BRITAIN AND CHINA OF SEPTEMBER 13th, 1876
Ratifications Exchanged at Peking, 18th January, 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 sam
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 by th
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.

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 Chun
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 Chung
•steamers shall in like manner have access to the said port.

THE BURMAH CONVENTION
Signed at Peking, 4th February, 1897
In consideration of the Government of Great Britain consenting to waive its-
objections to the alienation by China, by the Convention with France of June 20th.-
1895, of territory forming a portion of Xiang Hung, in derogation of the provision-
THE BURMAH CONVENTION 19
| -of the Convention between Great Britain and China of March 1st, 1894, it has been
| agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China that the following
additions and alterations shall be made in the last-named Convention, hereinafter
^referred to as the Original Convention.
(Articles I. to XI. refer to the Burmah Frontier and trade across it between Burmah ■
and Yunnan.)
\ Art. XII. (Providing for the free navigation of the Irrawady by Chinese
j vessels).— Add as follows:— The Chinese Government agree hereafter to
i -consider whether the conditions of trade justify the construction of railways in
i Yunnan, and in the event of their construction, agrees to connect them with the
f Burmese lines.
Art. XIII.—Whereas by the Original Convention it was agreed that China
t -might appoint a Consul in Burmah to reside at Rangoon, and that Great Britain
-might appoint a Consul to reside at Manwyne, and that the Consuls of the two
' "Governments should each within the territories of the other enjoy the same
r privileges and immunities as the Consuls of the most favoured nation, and further
j "that in proportion as the commerce between Burmah and China increased, additional
? -Consuls might be appointed by mutual consent to reside at such places in Burmah
i and Yunnan as the requirements of trade might seem to demand.
It has now been agreed that the Government of Great Britain may station a
Consul at Momein or Shunning Fu as the Government of Great Britain may prefer,
,r -instead of at Manwyne as stipulated in the Original Convention, and also to station
|i a Consul at Szumao.
British subjects and persons under British protection may establish themselves
-and trade at these places under the same conditions as at the Treaty Ports in
China.
The Consuls appointed as above shall ‘be on the same footing as regards

l frontier).—Instead of “ Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul at Manwyne ” in the Original
- Convention read “ Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul at Shunning ‘ or Momein,’ ”
in accordance with the change made in Article XIII.
Failing agreement as to the terms of revision the present arrangement shall
i remain in force.

KOWLOON EXTENSION AGREEMENT, 1898
Whereas it has for many years past been recognised that an extension of Hong-
kong territory is necessary for the proper defence and protection of the Colony,
It has now been agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China
that the limits of British territory shall be enlarged under lease to the extent
indicated generally on the annexed map.
The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been
made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall
be ninety-nine years.
It is at the same time agreed that within the City of Kowloon the Chinese
officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction, except so far as
may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hongkong.
Within the remainder of the newly-leased territory Great Britain shall have sole
jurisdiction. Chinese officials and people shall be allowed, as heretofore, to use the-
road from Kowloon to Hsinan.
It is further agreed that the existing landing-place near Kowloon city shall be
reserved for the convenience of Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passengers vessels,,
which may come and go and lie there at their pleasure; and for the convenience of
movements of the officials and people within the city.
When, hereafter, China constructs a railway to the boundary of the Kowloon
territory under British control, arrangements shall be discussed.
It is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the
inhabitants of the district included within the extension, and that if land is required:
for public offices, fortifications, or the like official purposes, it shall be bought at
a fair price.
If cases of extradition of criminals occur they shall be dealt with in accordance-
with the existing treaties between Great Britain and China and the Hongkong
Regulations.
The area leased by Great Britain includes the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep
Bay, but it is agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise,,
shall retain the right to use those waters.
This Convention shall come into force on the first day of July, eighteen hundred
and ninety-eight, being the thirteenth day of the fifth moon of the twenty-fourth year
of Kwang Hsu. It shall be ratified by the Sovereigns of the two countries, and the-
ratitications shall be exchanged in London as soon as possible.
In witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective-
Governments, have signed the present agreement.

THE WEIHAIWEI CONVENTION, 1898
Ratifications exchanged in London, 5th October, 1898
In order to provide Great Britain with a suitable naval harbour in North China,,
and for the bettor protection of British commerce in the neighbouring seas, the
Government of His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to lease to the Government
of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Weihaiwei, in the province
of Shantung, and the adjacent waters for so long a period as Purt Arthur shall
remain in the occupation of Russia.
The territory leased shall comprise the island of Liukung and all other islands-
in the Bay of Weihaiwei, and a belt of land ten English miles wide along the entire-
coast line of the Bay of Weihaiwei. Within the above-mentioned territory leased*
Great Britain shall have sole jurisdiction.
Great Britain shall have, in addition, the right to erect fortifications, station
troops, or take any other measures necessary for defensive purposes, at any points on
or near the coast of the region east of the meridian 121 degrees 40 min. E. of Green-
wich, and to acquire on equitable compensation within that territory such sites as
may be necessary for water supply, communications, and hospitals. Within that
zone Chinese administration will not be interfered with, but no troops other than
Chinese or British shall be allowed therein.
It is also agreed that within the walled city of Weihaiwei Chinese officials shall
continue to exercise jurisdiction, except so. far as may be inconsistent with naval5
and mihtary requirements for the defence of the territory leased.
It is further agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise,
shall retain the right to use the waters herein leased to Great Britain.
It is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the
inhabitants of the territory herein specified, and that if land is required for forti-
fications, public offices, or any official or public purpose, it shall be bought at a fair
price.
This Convention shall come into force on signature. It shall be ratified by the ■
Sovereigns of the two countries, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in London
as soon as possible.
In witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective
Governments, have signed the present agreement.

-SUPPLEMENTARY COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
Signed at Shanghai, 5th September, 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 lesolved 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 Majesty the King of Great Britain and Ireland, His Majesty’s Special Com-
missioner, Sir James Lyle Mackay, Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of
the 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 owers, 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
owing 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 whei'e 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. III.—China agrees that the duties and lekin combined levied on goods carried
by junks
shall fro not
together Hongkong to thetheTreaty
be less than dutiesPorts in the
charged Canton

Imperial and vice

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.
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 23
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. V.—The Chinese Government undertake to remove within the next two-
years the artificial obstructions to navigation in the Canton Biver. 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
scale 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.
Art. VI.—The Chinese Government agree to make arrangements to give increased,
facilities at the open ports for bonding and for repacking merchandise in bond, and,
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
of levying lekin and other dues on goods at the place of production, in transit, and
24 THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
destination, impedes tlie 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 the
Tariff rates for the time being in force, to be 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 lekin 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 com-
pensate for the abolition of lehin, of transit dues in lieu of lehin, and of all other
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 3, 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 Revenue
and Works) and Ta Oiling 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
THE BEITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 25>
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 en 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 lekin—which latter will now become
a surtax in lieu of lekin—shall remain as provided for by existing Treaties.
Section 5.—The British G-overnment have no intention whatever of interfering
with China’s right to tax native opium, but it is essential to declare that, in her
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
or 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
at 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
revenue materially. The surtax .on foreign imports and exports and on coastwise
exports is intended to compensate in a measure for this loss of revenue, but there
.26 THE BEITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
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
Native Custom-house 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 Chinese anywhere in China.
A rebate of the import duty and two-thirds 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 Imperial 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 Goveimment 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-
>yince 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.
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 27-
His Britannic 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 in>
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 Majesty’s-
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 lekin 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-
I abolition of all lekin taxation, lekin barriers and all descriptions of internal taxation on
f 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
i 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
j question of Mining Rules and, selecting from the rules of Great Britain, India, and
I 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 of
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
Chinese subjects and not injuring in any way the sovereign rights of China, shall offer
no 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 Rules 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 Regulations dated 28th July, 1898, and Supple-
mentary Rules 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 Rules
do this Treaty. These Rules 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 River, at
the following “Ports of Call”: PakTau Hau (Pai-t‘uk‘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 River:—Yung Hi (Jung-chi), Mali Xing (Ma-
niug), 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 the 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 requisition 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
conditions, 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
such 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 sucb a
-Commission be formed by China and the Treaty Powers interested.
Art. XIY.—Whereas under Rule V. 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.
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 29
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 Rice 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
Rice belonging to the Government, shall be shipped during the period of prohibition.
Notifications of prohibitions, and of the quantities of Army or Tribute Rice 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. XV.—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. XVI.—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.
Done at Shanghai this fifth day of September in the year of Our Lord, 1902,
corresponding with the Chinese date, the fourth day of the eighth moon of the twenty-
eighth year of Kwang Hsu.

30 THE BEITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
Shanghai: K. H. XXVin., 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)
Gentlemen, Shanghai, August 18th, 1902.
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 con-ect.
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,
Your obedient Servant,
Their Excellencies (Signed) Jas. L. Mackat.

Shanghai, September 2nd, 1902.
We have the honour to inform you that on the 22nd of August, we, in conjunction
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:—
“ Of the revenue of the different Provinces derived from lekin of all kinds, a
“ portion is appropriated for the service of the foreign loans, a portion for the Peking:
“ Government, and the balance is reserved for the local expenditure of the Provinces-
“ concerned.
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 31
“ In the negotiations now being conducted with Great Britain for the amendment
■“ of the Commercial Treaties, a mutual arrangement has been come to providing for
“ the imposition of additional taxes, in compensation for the abolition of all kinds of
■“ lelcin and other imposts on goods, prohibited by Article VIII. After payment of
“interest and sinking fund on the existing foreign loan, to the extent to which lelcin
is thereto pledged, these additional taxes shall be allocated to the various Provinces
41“ to make up deficiencies and replace revenue, in order that no hardships may be
entailed on them. With a view to preserving the original intention underlying the
“proposal to increase the duties in compensation for the loss of revenue derived from
“ lelcin and other imposts on goods, it is further stipulated that the surtaxes shall not
“ 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
“proportion of the provincial revenues derived from lekin of all kinds, now about
“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
“ 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.
Annex B—(2)
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 the
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 already
contracted by China except in so far as lelcin revenue has already been pledged to an
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 lelcin 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 lelcin is partly pledged.
I hope Your 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,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) Jas. L. Mackay.
Their Excellencies,
Lit Hai-htjan and Sheng Hstjan-huai,
etc., etc., etc.

Annex B—(3)
(Translation)
Ltj, President of the Board of Works;
Sheng, Junior Guardian of the Heir Apparent, Vice-President of the Board of
Works;
Imperial Chinese Commissioners for dealing with questions connected with the
Commercial Treaties, to
Sir James L. Mackay, 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 lelcin 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 lekin 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 w
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 th
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 contributio
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
in any way.
4. —Steam vessels navigating the inland waterways o
for loss caused to riparian proprietors by damage which they may do to the banks
THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA 33
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 see th
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 junks ha
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 disturbe
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 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 from
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. The
and crew of any boat towed shall be Chinese. All boats, irrespective of ownership,
must be registered before they can proceed inland.
10. —These Rules are supplementary to the Inland Steam Navigatio
of July and September, 1898. The latter, where untouched by the present Rules,
remain in full force and effect; but the present Rules hold in the case of such of the
former Regulations as the present Rules affect. The present Rules, and the
Regulations of July and September, 1898, to which they are supplementary, are
provisional and may be modified, as circumstances require, by mutual consent.
Done at Shanghai this fifth day of September, in the year of Our Lord, 1902,
corresponding with the Chinese date, the fourth day of the eighth moon of the
twenty-eighth year of Kwang Hsii.

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 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.
Rule V.—Regarding Certain Commodities Heretofore Contraband.—The restric-
tions affecting trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, sulphur, brimstone, saltpetre, and
spelter are relaxed, under the following conditions:—
1. —*Opium will henceforth pay thirty Taels per picul import duty. T
will sell it only at the port. It will be carried into the interior by Chinese only, and
only as Chinese property; the foreign trader will not be allowed to accompany it.
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

six months from the date of clearance, to the collector at the port of shipment, 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 production of the certificate, to forfeit a sum equal in value to

3. —The export of rice and all other grain whatsoever, native or
where grown or whence imported, to any foreign port, is prohibited; but these-

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

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. Thm
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

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.

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:

Henry Charles Keith Petty-Pitzmaurice, Marquess of Lansdowne, His Majesty’s
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; and

■of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor

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 are 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

•under indenture to that Colony or Protectorate from the specified Treaty port has
not taken place during eth preceding three years.
EMIGRATION CONVENTION 53-
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 will 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
necessary buildings, hereinafter called the Emigration Agency, which shall be erected'
or fitted up by the British Government, and at their expense, for the purpose of
carrying on the business of the engagement and shipment of the emigrants, and in
which the Chinese Inspector and his staff shall have suitable accommodation for
carrying on their duties.
Art. IV.—(1.) There shall be posted up in conspicuous places throughout the
Emigration Agency, and more especially in that part of it called the Depot, destined

copies of the special Ordinance, if any, relating to immigration into the particular
Colony or Protectorate for which the emigrants are required.
(2.) There shall be kept a Register in English and in Chinese, in which the names
of intending indentured emigrants shall be inscribed, and in this Register there shall
not be inscribed the name of any person who is under 20 years of age, unless he
shall have produced proof of his having obtained the consent of his parents or other
lawful guardians to emigrate, or, in default of these, of the Magistrate of the district
to which he belongs. After signature of the Indenture according to the Chinese
manner, the emigrant shall not be permitted to leave the Depot previously to his-
embarkation, without a pass signed by the Chinese Inspector, and countersigned by
the British Consular Officer or his Delegate, unless he shall have, through the

register of emigrants.

qualified Medical Officer nominated by the British Consular Officer or his Delegate.

their perfect understanding of the Indenture.

subject who may happen to be residing in the Colony or Protectorate to which the-
emigration is to take place, it shall be competent to the Emperor of China to appoint
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 Consuls-
of other nations.
Art. VII.—Every Indenture entered into under the present Articles shall clearly
specify the name of the country for which the labourer is required, the duration of
the engagement, and, if renewable, on what terms, the number of hours of labour
per working day, the nature of the work, the rate of wages and mode of payment,,
the rations, clothing, the grant of a free passage out, and, where such is provided for
therein, a free passage back to the port of embarkation in China for himself and family,,
right to free medical attendance and medicines, whether in the Colony or Protectorate,
or on the voyage from and to the port of embarkation in China, and any other
advantages to which the emigrant shall be entitled. The Indenture may also-
EMIGRATION CONVENTION
provide that the emigrant shall, if considered necessary by the medical authorities,
be vaccinated on his arrival at the Depot, and in the event of such vaccination being
unsuccessful, re-vaccinated on board ship.
Art. VIII.—The Indenture shall be signed, or in cases of illiteracy marked, by
the emigrant after the Chinese manner, in the presence of the British Consular Officer
or his Delegate and of the Chinese Inspector or his Delegate, who shall be respon-
sible to their respective Governments for its provisions having been clearly and fully
■explained to the emigrant previous to signature. To each emigrant there shall be
presented a copy of the Indenture drawn up in English and Chinese. Such Inden-
ture shall not be considered as definitive or irrevocable until after the embarkation
of the emigrant.
Art. IX.—In every British Colony or Protectorate to which indentured Chinese
emigrants proceed, an officer or officers shall be appointed, whose duty it shall be to
insure that the emigrant shall have free access to the Courts of Justice to obtain the
redress for injuries to his person and property which is secured to all persons, irrespec-
tive of race, by the local law.
Art. X.—During the sojourn of the emigrant in the Colony or Protectorate in
•which he is employed, all possible postal facilities shall be afforded to him for com-
municating with his native country and for making remittances to his family.
Art. XI.—With regard to the repatriation of the emigrant and his family
■whether on the expiration of the Indenture or from any legal cause, or in event of
his having been invalided from sickness or disablement, it is understood that this shall
always be to the port of shipment in China, and that in no case shall it take place
by any other means than actual conveyance by ship, and payment of money to the
returning emigrant in lieu of passage shall not be admissible.
Art. XII.—Nothing in any Indenture framed under these Articles shall
constitute on the employer a right to transfer the emigrant to another employer
•of labour without the emigrant’s free consent and the approval of his Consul or
Vice-Consul; and should any such transfer or assignment take place, it shall not in
any way invalidate any of the rights or privileges of the emigrant under the
Indenture.
Art. XIII.—It is agreed that a fee on each indentured emigrant shipped under
the terms of this convention shall be paid to the Chinese Government for expenses of
Inspection, but no payment of any kind shall be made to the Chinese Inspector or
any other official of the Chinese Government at the port of embarkation. The above
fee shall be paid into the Customs bank previous to the clearance of the ship, and
•shall be calculated at the following rate:—3 Mexican dollars per head for any
number of emigrants not exceeding 10,000, and 2 dollars per head for any number
in excess thereof, provided they are shipped at the same Treaty port, and that not more
than twelve months have elapsed since the date of the last shipment.
Should the port of embarkation have been changed, or a space of more than
twelve months have elapsed since the date of the last shipment, inspection charges
shall be paid as in the first instance.
Art. XIV.—The English and Chinese text of the present Convention 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 sense.
Art. XV.—The present Convention shall come into force on the date of its
signature and remain in force for four years from that date, and after such period
of four years it shall be terminable by either of the high contracting parties on

In witness whereof the Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention,
and have affixed thereto their seals.

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

Arrangement Between Great Britain and Russia Concerning Tibet
The Governments of Britain and Russia recognizing the suzerain rights of China
in Tibet, and considering the fact that Great Britain, by reason of her geographical
position, has a special interest in the maintenance of the status quo in the external

I. —The two High Contracting Parties engage to respect the terri
of Tibet and to abstain from all interference in its internal administration.

authorities provided for in Article V. of the Convention between Great Britain and
Tibet of September 7th, 1904, and confirmed by the Convention between Great
Britain and China of April 27th, 1906; nor does it modify the engagements entered
into by Great Britain and China in Article I. of the said Convention of 1906.
It is clearly understood that Buddhists, subjects of Great Britain or of Russia,
may enter into diiect relations on strictly religious matters with the Dalai Lama and
the other representatives of Buddhism in Tibet; the Governments of Great Britain
and Russia engage, as far as they are concerned, not to allow those relations to
infringe the stipulations of the present arrangement.
III. —The British and Russian Governments respectively en
representatives to Lhasa.
IV. —The two High Contracting Parties engage neither to
whether for themselves or their subjects, any concessions for railways, roads, tele-
graphs and mines, or other rights in Tibet.

in kind or in cash, shall be pledged or assigned to Great Britain or Russia or to any
of their subjects.

OPIUM AGREEMENT
[Done at Peking, May 8th, 1911]
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 annual
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 polic
dng 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 assistance. 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.
HI.—His Majesty’s Government further agree that Indian opium shall not be
-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.
IY.—During the period of this Agreement it shall be permissible for His
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.
64 OPIUM AGEEEMENT
VI. —The Chinese Government undertake to levy a
grown in the Chinese Empire. His Majesty’s Government consent to increase the-
present consolidated import duty on Indian opium to Tls. 350 per chest of lOO*
catties, such increase to take effect as soon as the Chinese Government levy an
equivalent excise tax on all native opium.
VII. —On confirmation of this Agreement and be
the new rate of consolidated import duty, China will at once cause to 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,
on the wholesale trade other than the consolidated import duty, and no such
restrictions or taxation shall be again imposed so long as the Additional Article to-
the Chefoo Agreement remains as at present in force.
It is also understood that Indian raw opium having paid the consolidated
import duty shall be exempt from any further taxation whatsoever in the port of’
import.
Should the conditions contained in the above two clauses not be duly observed,.
His Majesty’s Government shall be at liberty to suspend or terminate this-
Agreement at any time.
The foregoing stipulations shall not derogate in any manner from the force of
the laws already published or hereafter to be published by the Imperial Chinese-
Government 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
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.
His Majesty’s Government undertake that each chest of opium for which such
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.
The Chinese Government undertake that chests of opium so sealed and
accompanied by such permits may be imported into any Treaty Port of China
without let or hindrance if such seals remain unbroken.
IX. —Should it appear on subsequent experience de
the unexpired portion of seven years to modify this Agreement or any part thereof,,
it may be revised by mutual consent of the two high contracting parties.
X. —This Agreement shall come into force on the date
In witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorized thereto by their respective-
Governments, have signed the same and have affixed thereto their seals.
Done at Peking in quadruplicate (four in English and four in Chinese) thi&
eighth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, being the tenth day of
the fourth month of the third year of Hsuan T’ung.

FRANCE
TUEATY OF PEACE, FRIENDSHIP, COMMERCE, AND
NAVIGATION BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
Signed, in the French and Chinese Languages, at Tientsin, 27th June, 1858
Ratifications Exchanged at Pelcing, 25th October, 1860
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 G-ros, 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-Tsine Dynasty, Grand Minister of the East Palace, Director-General
of the Council of Justice, etc., etc., etc.; and Hwashana, 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 Majesty 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,couriers, 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
TKEA.TY BETWEEN FRINGE AND CHINA 67
it 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 be 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, on
the footing of a perfect equality.
Merchants and generally all persons not having an official character shall on both
sides use the form ot 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 < f 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
3*
‘68 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 famihes may establish themselves and
trarle 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 Gfovem-
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 iff 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 servant-. They
shall also have the right of engaging teachers in order to learn to speak and write
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA 69
■the Chinese language and any other language or dialect used in the empire,
.as also to secure their aid m 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.
No 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.—No privileged commercial society shall henceforward be establihed
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 pro-
portionate 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.
70 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, he may
be fined 500 Dollars, and the goods discharged may be seized, the whole to the profit
of the Chinese Government.
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 o£ 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
tared 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 wall 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 books, 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 twu
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 bn
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 Superintendent of Customs shall give a general aquittance, on
the exhibition of which the Consul shall return the ship’s papers to the captain and
permit 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 71
"Chinese Government. These payments may be made in ingots or foreign money,
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 of the ports of China, may be transported into the interior
without being subjected to any further 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 aud 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-
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 employ^ 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 tor the original Article in 1865,
72 TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA
scales for goods and silver, the weights and measures agreeing exactly with the I
weights and measures in use at the Canton Custom-house, and bearing a stamp and 't
seal certifying this authority. These scales shall be the base of all liquidations of J
duties and of all payments to bo made to the Chinese Government. They shall be §
referred to in case of dispute as to the weights and measures of goods, and the decree ft
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 I
seal and signature of the respective Plenipotentiaries. This tariff may be revised
every seven years in order to be in harmouy with the changes brought about by time si
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 J
shall not be increased nor augmented by any kind of charge or surtax whatever, j
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 J
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 J
Chinese Government renouncing therefore the right of augmenting the number of |
articles reputed contraband or subject of a monopoly, any modification of the
tariff shall be made only after an understanding has been come to with the French j
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 J,
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 j
all pretext for smuggling, it is not to be presumed that any act of this nature may I •
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 1i
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 sees lit, interdict the re-entry to China of |
the vessel taken in contravention and compel it to leave immediately after the sette- j. :
ment of its accounts.
If any foreign vessel fraudulently makes use of the French flag the French j
Government shall take the necessary measures for the repression of this abuse. |
Art. XXIX.—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*j
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 provisons of j
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 itj,1 ,
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 any 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
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA 73
for the salvage of the ship and the preservation of the cargo. The whole shall then
he 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 othor, trade in the
ordinary manner, and import and export every kind of merchandise not 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 house 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.
74 TREATY BETWEEN- FRANCE AND CHINA
In 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 bis Government shall in any manner be held responsible.
Art. XXXVIIl.—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 tlie 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.
Art. XXXIX.—Disputes or differences arising between French subjects in China
shall, equally, be settled by the French authorities. It is also stipulated that the
Chinese authorities shall not in any manner interfere in any dispute between French
subjects and other foreigners. In the same way they shall not exercise any authority
over French vessels; these are responsible only to the French authorities and 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 be 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 tne 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, or sooner if possible.
After the exchange of ratifications, the Treaty shall be brought to the
knowledge of all the superior authorities of the Empire in the provinces and in the
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.

Art. II.—When the Ambassador, the High Commissioner of His Majesty the
Emperor of the French, shall be in Peking for the purpose of exchanging the ratifica-
tions of the Treaty of Tientsin, he shall be treated during his stay in the capital with

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
ratifications referred to in the preceding Article, subject to the modifications introduced
by the present Convention.
Art. IV.—Article IY. of the Secret Treaty of Tientsin, by which His Majesty
the Emperor of China undertook to pay to the French Government an indemnity of
two million Taels, is annulled and replaced by the present Article, which increases
the amount of the indemnity to eight million Taels.
It is agreed that the sum alerady paid by 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.
The provisions of the Article of the Secret Treaty of Tientsin as to the mode of

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
of French subjects and proteges of France who sustained loss by the burning of the

suffered in their persons or property. The French Government will divide this sum
between the parties interested, after their claims shall have been legally established,

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
eight million taels shall have been fully paid.

ratifications of the Treaty of Tientsin shall have been exchanged an Imperial edict

United States signed in 1858 were fixed at four mace only, shall not exceed this
same sum of four mace, and this without the invocation of the last paragraph of
Art. XXXII. of the Treaty of Tientsin, which gives to France the formal right to
claim, the same treatment as the most favoured nation.
The present Convention of Peace has been made at Peking, in four copies, on the
25th October, I860, and has been signed by the respective plenipotentiaries.

BETWEEN ERANCE AND CHINA
Signed at Tientsin, 9th June, 1885
The President of the French Eepublic and His Majesty the Emperor of China,
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
signed at Tientsin on the 11th May, 1884, and ratified by an Imperial decree of the
13th April, 1885.
For that purpose the two high contracting parties have appointed as their Pleni-
potentiaries the following, that is to say :—

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
78 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 Cbina 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
sases where they may not be able to agree as to the location of these landmarks or on
nuch rectifications of detail as it may be desirable to make, in the interest of the two
rations, in the existing frontier of Tonkin, they shall refer the difficulty to their
eespective Cfovernments.
Art. IV.—When the frontier 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. Y.—Import and export trade shall be permitted to French or French-
protected traders and to Chinese traders across the land frontier between China and

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
fn the ports open to foreign trade. 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
Tonkin.
TKEATY BETWEEN FKANCE AND CHINA 79
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

code of Regulations. In the meanwhile, the present practice shall remain unaltered.

relations of commerce and of good neighbourship, which it is the object of the present
Treaty to re-establish between Prance and China, the Government of the Republic

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 t.he 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
incase 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 present 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

[Translated from the French Text]
Wher as in Article VI. of the Treaty between the President of the French Re-
public and His Majesty the Emperor of China, signed the 9th day of June, 1885, it is
stated that “ Regulations for the conduct of overland trade between Tonkin and the
Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Kwang-si, and Kwang-tung shall be jointly discussed and
concluded by Commissioners appointed by the two Powers, and will form a supple-
ment to the present Treaty”; and whereas in Article X. of that Agreement it is

to retain their original validity,” the two high contracting parties have for this
purpose named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:—
The President of the French Republic, Gr. Cogordan, Minister Plenipotentiary
of France to China, Officer of the Legion of Honour, Knight of the Order of the Crown

; 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

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 i

General of the Two Kwang, of Fohkien and Chekiang, or of the Two Kiang ; and
whenever he desires to have such correspondence with the Privy Council at the capital
he shall have the right to send it through either of the said Governors-General, or by
•SO TREA.TY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA
general post; and all such communications shall be most carefully respected. The | [
Frivy Council and Governors-General, as the case may be, shall in all cases consider I
and acknowledge such communications promptly and respectfully.
Art. Y.—The Minister of the United States of America in China, whenever he has i
business, shall have the right to visit and sojourn at the capital of His Majesty the i
Emperor of China and there confer with a member of the Privy Council or any other 1
high officer of equal rank deputed for that purpose, on matters of common interest |
and advantage. His visits shall not exceed one in each year, and he shall complete |
his business without unnecessary delay. He shall be allowed to go by land or come !|
to the mouth of the Pei-ho, in which he shall not bring ships-of-war, and he shall !|
inform the authorities of that place in order that boats may be provided for him to go |
•on his journey. He is not to take advantage of this stipulation to request visits to I
the capital on trivial occasions. Whenever he means to proceed to the capital he J
shall communicate in writing his intention to the Board of Kites at the capital, and |
thereupon the said Board shall give the necessary direction to facilitate his journey, j|
and give him necessary protection and respect on his way. On his arrival at the 1
capital he shall be furnished with a suitable residence prepared for him, and he shall '
defray his own expenses; and his entire suite shall not exceed twenty persons I
exclusive of his Chinese attendants, none of whom shall be engaged in trade.
Art. YI.—If at any time His Majesty the Emperor of China shall, by Treaty I
voluntarily made, or for any other reason, permit the representative of any friendly
nation to reside at his capital for a long or short time, then, without any further |
•consultation or express permission, the representative of the United States in China f
shall have the same privilege.
Art. YII.—The superior authorities of the United States and of China in 1
■corresponding together shall do so on terms of equality and in form of mutual i
communication (chau-hwui). The Consuls and the local officers, civil and military, i
in corresponding together shall likewise employ the style and form of mutual !
•communication (chau-hwui). When inferior officers of the one Government address !
the superior officers of the other they shall do so in the style and form of memorial :
(shin-chin). Private individuals, in addressing superior officers, shall employ the
style of petition (pin-ching). In no case shall any terms or style be used or suffered ,
which shall be offensive or disrespectful to either party. And it is agreed that no
present, under any pretext or form whatever, shall ever be demanded of the United
States by China, or of China by the United States.
Art. YIII.—In all future personal intercourse between the representative of ;
the United States of America and the Governors-General or Governors the interviews Ji
shall be had at the official residence of the said officers, or at their temporary resi- J
dence, or at the residence of the representative of the United States of America, !
whichever may be agreed upon between them; nor shall they make any pretext for
declining these interviews. Current matters shall be discussed by correspondence
so as not to give the trouble of a personal meeting.
Art. IX.—Whenever national vessels of the United States of America, in cruising
along the coast and among the ports opened for trade for the protection of the com-
merce of their country, or the advancement of science, shall arrive at or near any
of the ports of China, the commanders of said ships and the superior local authorities j
of government shall, if it be necessary, hold intercourse on terms of equality and
■courtesy, in token of the friendly relations of their respective nations ; and the said
vessels shall enjoy all suitable facilities on the part of the Chinese Government in
procuring provisions or other supplies, and making necessary repairs. And the ]
United States of America agree that in case of the shipwreck of any American vessel
and its being pillaged by pirates, or in case any American vessel shall be pillaged or
•captured by pirates on the seas adjacent to the coast, without being shipwrecked, the
national vessels of the United States shall pursue the said pirates, and if captured
•deliver them over for trial and punishment.
Art. X.—The United States of America shall have the right to appoint Consuls |
and other commercial agents for the protection of trade, to reside at such places in the
TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA 91
dominions of China as shall be agreed to be opened, who shall hold official intercourse
and correspondence with the local officers of the Chinese Government (a Consul or a
; Yice-Consul in charge taking rank with an intendant of circuit or a prefect), either
personally or in writing, as occasion may require, on terms of equality and reciprocal
18 respect. And the Consuls and local officers shall employ the style of mutual
I communication. If the officers of either nation are disrespectfully treated, or aggrieved
iji in any way by the other authorities, they have the right to make representation of
■ the same to the superior officers of their respective Governments, who shall see that
| full inquiry and strict justice shall be had in the premises. And the said Consuls and
j[ agents shall carefully avoid all acts of offence to the officers and people of China.
On the arrival of a Consul duly accredited at any port in China, it shall be the duty
I of the Minister of the United States to notify the same to the Governor-General of
II the province where such port is, who shall forthwith recognize the said Consul and
S grant him authority to act.
Art. XI.—All citizens of the United States of America in China, peaceably
> attending to their affairs, being placed on a common footing of amity and good-
! will with subjects of China, shall receive and enjoy for themselves and everything
| appertaining to them the protection of the local authorities of Government, who shall
! defend them from all insult or injury of any sort. If their dwellings or property be
\ threatened or attacked by mobs, incendiaries, or other violent or lawless persons, the
local officers, on requisition of the Consul, shall immediately despatch a military force
to disperse the rioters, apprehend the guilty individuals, and punish them with the
utmost rigour of the law. Subjects of China guilty of any criminal act towards citizens
of the United States shall be punished by the Chinese authorities according to the laws
1 of China, and citizens of the United States, either on shore or in any merchant vessel,
'i who may insult, trouble, or wound the persons or injure the property of Chinese, or
B commit any other improper act in China, shall be punished only by the Consul or other
I public functionary thereto authorized, according to the laws of the United States. Ar-
il rests in order to trial may be made by either the Chinese or United States authorities.
Art. XII.—Citizens of the United States, residing or sojourning at any of the
■ ports open to foreign commerce, shall be permitted to rent houses and places of
■ business or hire sites on which they can themselves build houses or hospitals,
■ churches, and cemeteries. The parties interested can fix the rents' by mutual and
■ equitable agreement; the proprietors shall not demand an exorbitant price, nor shall
j§ the local authorities interfere, unless there be some objections offered on the part of
■ the inhabitants respecting the place. The legal fees to the officers for applying their
■ seal shall be paid. The citizens of the United States shall not unreasonably insist
■ on particular spots, but each party shall conduct themselves with justice and
I moderation. Any desecration of the cemeteries by natives of China shall be severely
B punished according to law. At the places where the ships of the United States
w anchor, or their citizens reside, the merchants, seamen, or others can freely pass and
B re-pass in the immediate neighbourhood; but in order to the preservation of the
f public peace, they shall not go into the country to the villages and marts to sell their
I goods unlawfully, in fraud of the revenue.
Art. XIII.—If any vessel of the United States be wrecked or stranded on the
f coast of China and be subjected to plunder or other damage, the proper officers of the
I Government, on receiving information of the fact, shall immediately adopt measures
;' for its relief and security; the persons on board shall receive friendly treatment, and
1 be enabled to repair at once to the nearest port, and shall enjoy all facilities for
obtaining supplies of provisions and water. If the merchant vessels of the United
States, while within the waters over which the Chinese Government exercises
jurisdiction, be plundered by robbers or pirates, then the Chinese local authorities
civil and military, on receiving information thereof, shall arrest the said robbers or
pirates, and punish them according to law, and shall cause all the property which can
be recovered to be restored to the owners, or placed in the hands of the Consul. If
by reason of the extent of territory and numerous population of China it shall in any
case happen that the robbers cannot be apprehended, and the property only in part
92 TEEATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA
recovered, the Chinese Government shall not make indemnity for the goods lost; but
if it shall be proved that the local authorities have been in collusion with the robbers,
the same shall be communicated to the superior authorities for memorializing the
Throne, and these officers shall be severely punished and their property be confiscated
to repay the losses.
Art. XIY.—The citizens of the United States are permitted to frequent the ports
and cities of Canton and Chan-chau, or Swatow, in the province of Kwangtung; Amoy,
Foochow, and Tai-wan in Formosa, in the province of Fuhkien; Ningpo in the province
of Chekiang; and Shanghai in the province of Kiangsu, and any other port or place
thereafter by Treaty with other powers or with the United States opened to commerce;
and to reside with their families and trade there, and to proceed at pleasure with their j
vessels and merchandise from any of these ports to any other of them. But said vessels !
shall not carry on a clandestine or fraudulent trade at other ports of China, not declared 1
to be legal, or along the coasts thereof; and any vessel under the Atnerican flag violating 1,
this provision shall, with her cargo, be subject to confiscation to the Chinese Govern- j
ment; and any citizen of the United States who shall trade in any contraband article l|
■of merchandise shall be subject to be dealt with by the Chinese Government, without
being entitled to any countenance or protection from that of the United States; and 1
the United States will take measures to prevent their flag from being abused by the j
subjects of other nations as a cover for the violation of the laws of the Empire.
Art. XY.—At each of the ports open to commerce, citizens of the United States
shall be permitted to import from abroad, and sell, purchase, and export all merchan- '
-dise of which the importation or exportation is not prohibited by the laws of the Empire.
The tariff of duties to be paid by the citizens of the United States, on the export and ;
import of goods from and into China, shall be the same as was agreed upon at the ,
Treaty of Wanghia, except so far as it may be modified by Treaties with other nations, j
it being expressly agreed that citizens of the United States shall never pay higher
duties than those paid by the most favoured nation.
Art. XYI.—Tonnage duties shall be paid on every merchant vessel belonging to
the United States entering either of the open ports at the rate of four mace per ton of
forty cubic feet, if she be over one hundred and fifty tons burden ; and one mace per
ton of forty cubic feet if she be of the burden of one hundred and fifty tons or under,
according to the tonnage specified in the register; which, with her other papers, shall, |
on her arrival, be lodged with the Consul, who shall report the same to the Commis-
sioner of Customs. And if any vessel, having paid tonnage duty at one port, shall |
.go to any other port to complete the disposal of her cargo, or being in ballast, to j;
purchase an entire or fill up an incomplete cargo, the Consul shall report the same to
the Commissioner of Customs, who shall note on the port-clearance that the tonnage i
duties have been paid, and report the circumstance to the collectors at the other j
Custom-houses; in which case the said vessel shall only pay duty on her cargo, and j
not be charged with tonnage duty a second time. The collectors of Customs at the
open ports shall consult with the Consuls about the erection of beacons or light- ,
houses, and where buoys and lightships should be placed.
Art. XVII.—Citizens of the United States shall be allowed to engage pilots to
(take their vessels into port, and, when the lawful duties have all been paid, take them 1
out of port. It shall be lawful for them to hire at pleasure servants, compradores, |
linguists, writers, labourers, seamen, and persons for whatever necessary service, with
passage or cargo-boats, for a reasonable compensation, to be agreed upon by the |
parties or determined by the Consul.
Art. XVIII.—Whenever merchant vessels of the United States shall enter a port, j
the Collector of Customs shall, if he see fit, appoint Custom-house officers to guard |
said vessels, who may live on board the ship or their own boats, at their convenience. , ■
The local authorities of the Chinese Government shall cause to be apprehended all ;
mutineers or deserters from on board the vessels of the United States in China on j
being informed by the Consul, and will deliver them up to the Consuls or other officers
for punishment. And if criminals, subjects of China, take refuge in the houses, or on 1
board the vessels of citizens of the United States, they shall not be harboured, but
TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA 93
•shall be delivered up to justice on due requisition by the Chinese local officers,
addressed to those of the United States. The merchants, seamen, and other citizens
of the United States shall be under the superintendence of the appropriate officers of
their Government. If individuals of either nation commit acts of violence or disorder,
use arms to the injury of others, or create disturbances endangering- life, the officers of
the two Governments will exert themselves to enforce order and to maintain the
public peace, by doing impartial justice in the premises.
Art. XIX.—Whenever a merchant vessel belonging to the United States shall
cast anchor in either of the said ports, the supercargo, master, or consignee, shall,
within forty-eight hours, deposit the ship’s papers in the hands of, the Consular
person charged with his functions, who shall cause to be communicated to the Super-
intendent of Customs a true report of the name and tonnage of such vessel, the number
of her crew, and the nature of her cargo, which being done, he shall give a permit for
her discharge. And the master, supercargo, or consignee, if he proceed to discharge
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-
height 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 twrenty-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 ou the discharge of the
94 TREATY BETWEEN THE CTNITED STATES AND CHINA
goods, and duties of export on the lading of the same. When all such duties shalh
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
received either in sycee silver or in foreign money, at the rate of the day. If the-
Consul permits a ship to leave the port before the duties and tonnage dues are paid
he shall be held responsible therefor.
Art. XXIII.—When goods on board any merchant vessel of the United States-
in 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. XXIY.—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-
United 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. XXY.—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. XXYI.—Relations of peace and amity between the United States and China
being established by this Treaty, and the vessels of the United States being admitted1
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 i-egard to rights, whether of property or person,
arising between citizens of the Uniced States in China, shall be subject to the-
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 andf
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 their 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
ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA 95
|| -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
Trotestant 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 whc
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

ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED
STATES AND CHINA
Signed, in the English and Chinese Languages, at Washington,
28th July, 1868
Ratifications Exchanged at Peking, 23rd November, 1869
Whereas, since the conclusion of the Treaty between the United States of America
;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 :—
Ai’t. 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 of residing
96 ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA
on certain tracts of land, or resorting to certain waters of that Empire, for purposes* !
of trade, he 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 |1
be construed to give to any Power or party which may be at war with or hostile to- i
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 1
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 I
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 G-overnment of China to the United I
States or their citizens for purposes of trade, or commerce, that grant shall in no* I
event be construed to divest the Chinese Authorities of their right of jurisdiction I
over persons and property within said tract of land except so far as the right may J
have been expressly relinquished by Treaty.
Art. II.—The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of China, j
believing that the safety and prosperity of commerce will thereby best be promoted,. I
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 I
to the discretion of the Chinese Government, and may be regulated by it accordingly, j
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- j
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 J une, 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 j
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 i
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 |j
United States to take citizens of-the United States to China, or to any other foreign I
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 i*espect 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 th? privileges of the public educational
IMMIGRATION' AND COMMERCIAL TREATIES BETWEEN THE U.S. & CHINA 97
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
that, 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.

IMMIGRATION AND COMMERCIAL TREATIES BETWEEN
THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA
Signed at Peking, in the English and Chinese Languages,
on the 17th November, 1880
The Immigration Treaty
Whereas, in the eighth year of Hien Fung, Anno Domini 1858, a Treaty of Peace
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, certain
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 Janies
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 of His Imperial Majesty’s
Privy Council and Superintendent of the Board of Civil Office, and Li Hung Tsao, a
member of His Imperial Majesty’s Privy Council, as his Commissioners Plenipo-
tentiary ; and the said Commissioners Plenipotentiary, having conjointly examined
98 IMMIGRATION AND COMMERCIAL TREATIES BETWEEN THE U.S. & CHINA
their full powers, and, having discussed the points of possible modifications in existing
Treaties, have agreed upon the following Articles in modification
Art. I.—Whenever, in the opinion of the Government of the United States, the
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-treatment 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 tne 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, tenth moon, fifteenth day.
Signed and sealed by the above-named Commissioners of both Governments.

between the two Governments, have named as their Commissioners Plenipotentiary:
The President of the United States of America, James P». Angell, of Michigan; John
F. Swift, of California; and William H. Trescott, of South Carolina, as his Com-

the most careful and favourable attention to the representations of either as such
special extension of commercial intercourse as either may 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 vessels 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
vessels wholly belonging to citizens of the United States, or upon the produce, manu-
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

by way of any foreign port from any of the ports of China which are open to foreign
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 any 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
citizens of the United States.
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

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 ease.
In faith whereof, ihe 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

IMMIGRATION PROHIBITION TREATY BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES OE AMERICA AND CHINA, 1894
Ratifications Exchanged at Washington, 7th December, 1894
Whereas, on the 17th of November, a.d. 1880, and of Hwang 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 to 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 the Second Bank, 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
such Chinese labourer shall, be permitted to enter the United States by land or sea
without producing to the proper officer of the Customs the return certificate herein
required.
IMMIGRATION PROHIBITION TREATY BETWEEN THE U.S. & CHINA 101
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
Gonvention and have hereunto affixed our seals.
Done, in duplicate, at Washington, the 17th day of March, a.d. 1894.

COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITE!)
STATES AND CHINA
Signed at Shanghai, 8th October, 1903
[Translation] •
The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of China, being
animated by an earnest desire to extend further the commercial relations between
them and otherwise to promote the interests of the peoples of the two countries, in
view of the provisions of the first paragraph of Article XI. of the Final Protocol
signed at Peking on the 7th day of September, a.d. 1901, whereby the Chinese Gov-
ernment agreed to negotiate the 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,
Senior Vice-President of the Board of Commerce;
Who, having met and duly exchanged their full powers, which were found to be
in proper form, have 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. I.—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
COMMEECIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA 103
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
•G-overnment 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 own
•G-overnment, who shall see that full 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. IV.—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.
■ad valorem.
Nothing in this Article is intended to interfere with the inherent right of China
to levy such other taxes as are not in conflict with its provisions.
Keeping these fundamental principles in view, the high contracting parties
have agreed upon the following method of procedure:
The Chinese Government undertakes that all offices, stations.and barriers of
whatsoever kind for collecting lekin, duties, or such like dues on goods in transit, shall
be permanently abolished on all roads, railways and waterways in the nineteen
Provinces of China and the three Eastern Provinces. This provision does not apply
■to the native Customs offices at present in existence on the seaboard, at open ports
104 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA
where there are offices of the Imperial Maritime Customs, and on the land frontiers
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 lehin, 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 being 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 TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA 105
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
Srovided for in this Article, all of which shall take effect from the said date. The
Idict 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. Y.—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 IY. of the present Convention, or as may hereafter be agreed upon bv the
present high contracting parities. 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 Grovernment 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 weeks of
the presentation to the Customs of the papers entitling the applicant to receive such
drawback certificates, and they shall be receivable at their faee 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, be redeemable by the Imperial Maritime Customs in full in ready money
at the port of issue, at the option of the holders thereof. 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 dealt with and punished in
accordance with the stipulations provided in the Treaty of Tientsin, Article XXI., in
the case of detected frauds on the revenue. In case the goods have been removed
106 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA
from Chinese territory, then the Consul shall inflict on the guilty party a fine to be-
paid to the Chinese G-oyernment.
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 j
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, 1
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 their
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 1
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 t me 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.
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA 107
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 on the basis of the Haikuan Tael.
Art. XIV.—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 in 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. XV.—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
arrangementsfortheir administration, and other considerations warrant it in so doing.
Art. XVI.—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. XVII.—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
108 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CHINA
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 j
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 I
correct one.
This Treaty and its three Annexes shall be ratified by the two high contracting i
parties in conformity with their respective constitutions, and the ratifications shall
be 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 I
affixed our respective seals.
Done at Shanghai, this eighth day of October in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and three, and in the twenty-ninth year of Kuang Hsii 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 G-ovemment 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 IV. of this Treaty regarding the unobstracted transit of other
goods.
Annex II.
Article IV. 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 V.'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 Hsuan-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.

His Most Faithful Majesty the King of Portugal and the Algarves, and His

ties of friendship which have subsisted for more than three hundred years between
Portugal and China, and having agreed in Lisbon on the 26th day of March, 1887, 2nd

Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Peking, Knight of
the Order of Nossa Senhora de Conceicao de Villa Vicosa, Grand Cross of the Order of

found them to be in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles :—
Art. I.—There shall continue to exist constant peace and amity between His Most
Faithful Majesty the King of Portugal and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China,
whose respective subjects shall equally enjoy in the dominions of the high contracting
parties the most complete and decided protection for their persons and property.

Lisbon, relating to the perpetual occupation and government of Macao by Portugal
It is stipulated that Commissioners appointed by both Governments shall proceed
to the delimitation of the boundaries, which shall be determined by a special Con-

alteration by either of the parties.
110 TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINA
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. IV.—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 agendas 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. YI.—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.
Art. VII.—The official correspondence addressed by the Portuguese authorities to
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 (Chavrhoet);
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
others who are not invested with an official character shall adopt, in addressing the
authorities, the form of representation or petition (Pin-ching).
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 where it is allowed to other nations to have them. These functionaries
will have powers and attributes similar to those of the Consuls of other nations,
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. The
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
TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINA 111
same concession for herself and for her own subjects, will equally assent to the condi-
tions attached to it.
Art XI.—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, enjoy ingall 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-
mitted to any one to establish a monopoly of such boats or of the service of coolies
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. XIY.—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. XY.—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
possessions 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 trade, 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 nationalities.
But Portuguese subjects, who, without carrying merchandise, would like to go
to the interior of China, must have passports issued by their Consuls and counter-
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.
Art. XVIII.—In the event of a Portuguese merchant vessel being plundered
by pirates or thieves within Chinese waters, the Chinese authorities are to employ
112 TEEATY BETWEEN POETUGAL AND CHINA
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, XXI.—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 or
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.
TREATY BETWEEN PORTUGAL AND CHINA 113
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

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,
showever, 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.

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.
Upon arrival of the ship at the port to which the goods are carried, permission
will be granted to land without any new payment of duties whatsoever if, upon
•examination,they are found to be the identical goods; but if during the examination
any fraud be detected, the goods may be confiscated by the Chinese Government.
Should any Portuguese merchant wish to re-export to a foreign country any
goods! mported, and upon which duties have been already paid, he will have to make
'his application in the same form as required for the re-exportation of goods to
another port in China, in which case a certificate of drawback or of restitution of
duties will be granted, which will be accepted by any of the Chinese Custom-houses in
payment of import or export duties.
Foreign cereals imported by Portuguese ships into the ports of China may be
•re-exported without hindrance if no portion of them has been discharged.

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

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 ,

ihe'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

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
I Consul he will only be allowed to do so through the Chinese authority, who shall
1 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
I -cognizance of the case and will use all his efforts to settle it amicably. Likewise,

■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

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 the 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
tknown 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
dhese versions have the same sense and meaning, but if there should happen to be any

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

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
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL 117
Peking, duly authorized by His Excellency Thomas de Souza Roza, Chief of the said

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 VI. 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.
118 COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL
Art. III.—The duty and lekin on foreign opium will continue as provided for
in existing Treaties. The Government 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
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. IV.—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 tq fix the respective zones
of operations, and shall devise practical means for the repression of smuggling.
Art. V.—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
Macao to any of the ports of call and passenger stages on the West River,
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
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
dn 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. VI.—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
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL 119*
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 alcoholic
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. VII.—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 alreaby 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 therein 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 lekin, 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 vabrem, 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 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 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
120 COMMEECIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL
will allow the importation of morphia and of instruments for its injection for medical j
purposes by Portuguese doctors, chemists, and druggists, on payment of the ^
prescribed duty and under special permit which will only be granted to an intending fl
importer upon his signing at the Portuguese Consulate a suitable bond undertaking 1
not to sell morphia except in small quantities and on receipt of a requisition signed J
by a duly qualified foreign medical practitioner. If fraud in connection with such *
importation be discovered by the Customs authorities the morphia and instrument I
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 I
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 1
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 1
Chinese territory mining 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 -s
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 -I
-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 j
■Government agrees that Chinese subjects joining with Portuguese subject in the or- j
ganisation of a joint stock company or commercial undertaking, legally constituted, j
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- I
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 i
partners in the same company or partnership. Similarly Portuguese subjects who !j
invest their capital in Chinese enterprises shall be bound to fulfil the obligations
imposed by the partnership agreement or memorandum, and articles of association, 1
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. XIV.—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-
COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND PORTUGAL 121
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. XYI.—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
peace 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 reli gious custo m s 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 will be printed and published, in order that the functionaries and
subjects of the respective countries may have full knowledge of its. stipulations and
may fulfil them.
In faith whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Treaty
and have affixed their seals thereto.

and 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 moon of

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

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

'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

Annex 1
INLAND WATERS STEAM NAVIGATION
Additional Rules
1. —Japanese steamship owners are at liberty to
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 j|
or Governor-General or 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 position
the inland waterway or interfere with navigation, and with the sanction of the
nearest Commissioner of Customs; such sanction, however, shall not be arbitrarily I
withheld.
3. —Japanese merchants shall pay taxes and cont
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 r
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 waterwa
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 J
waterway by launches, because there is reason to fear that the use of it by them I
would be likely to injure the banks and cause damage to the adjoining country, the I
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 J
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 Governmen
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 of flag any
SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA 135
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 junks hav
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 disturbed
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
1 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
i ■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 from
; 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
1 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. The
.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 publi
.fifth and seventh moons of the twenty-fourth year of Kuang Hsvi, which remain in
;p 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
Meiii, corresponding to the eighteenth day of the eighth moon of the twenty-Einth
year of Kuang Hsu.

Art. XI.—The Chinese Government has agreed to negotiate the amendments
deemed necessary by the Foreign Governments to the Treaties of Commerce and
Navigation and the other subjects concerning commercial relations with the object of
facilitating them.
At present, and as a result of the stipulation contained in Article VI. concern-
ing the indemnity, the Chinese Government agrees to assist in the improvement of'
the courses of the rivers Peiho and Whangpoo, as stated below;—
(a) The works for the improvement of the navigability of the Peiho, begun
in 1898 with the co-operation of the Chinese Government, have been
resumed under the direction of an International Commission. As soon
as the administration of Tientsin shall have been handed back to the
Chinese Government it will be in a position to be represented on this
156 FINAL PEOTOCOL BETWEEN CHINA AND ELEVEN POWERS, 1901
Commission, and will pay each year a sum of 60,000 Haikwan Taels
for maintaining the works.
(b) A Conservancy Board, charged with the management and control
of the works for straightening the Whangpoo and the improvement
of the course of that river, is hereby created.
This Board shall consist of members representing the interests of the Chinese
Government and those of foreigners in the shipping trade of Shanghai.
The expenses incurred for the works and the general management of the under-
taking are estimated at the annual sum of 460,000 Haikwan Taels for the first twenty
years. This sum shall be supplied in equal portions by the Chinese Government and
the foreign interests concerned. Detailed stipulations concerning the composition,
duties and revenues of the Conservancy Board are embodied in Annex No. 17.
Art. XII.—An Imperial Edict of the 24th of July, 1901 (Annex No. 18),
reformed the Office of Foreign Affairs, Tsungli Yamen, on the lines iudicated by the
Powers, that is to say, transformed it into a Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Waiwupu,
which takes precedence over the six other Ministries of State: the same Edict
•appointed the principal members of this Ministry.
An agreement has also been reached concerning the modification of Court
Ceremonial as regards the reception of the Foreign Representatives, and has been the
subject of several Notes from the Chinese Plenipotentiaries, the substance of which
has been embodied in a memorandum herewith annexed (Annex No. 19).
Finally it is expressly understood that as regards the declarations specified above
and the annexed documents originating with the foreign Plenipotentiaries, the
French text only is authoritative.
The Chinese Government having thus complied to the satisfaction of the Powers
with the conditions laid down in the above-mentioned Note of December 22nd, 1900,
the Powers have agreed to accede to the wish of China to terminate the situation
created by the disorders of the summer of 1900. In consequence thereof the foreign
Plenipotentiaries are authorised to declare in the names of their Governments that,
with the exception of the Legation guards mentioned in Article VII., the Interna-
tional troops will completely evacuate the city of Peking on the 17th of September,
1901, and, with the exception of the localities mentioned in Article IX., will withdraw
from the Province of Chihli on the 22nd of September, 1901.

158 TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN CHINA AND GERMANY
Declaration
The undersigned, being the duly authorized representative of the G-overmnent
of the Republic of Germany, has the honour to make known in the name of his
Government to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China the
following :
The Government of the Republic of Germany, animated by the desire to
reestablish the relations of friendship and commerce between China and Germany,
Considering that such relations should be based upon the principles of perfect
equality and absolute reciprocity in conformity with the generally recognized rules of
international law;
Considering that the President of the Republic of China issued a Mandate on.
September 15th, 1919, concerning the restoration of peace with Germany;
Considering that Germany engages herself to fulfil the obligations towards-
China, derived from Articles 128 to 134 (inclusive) of the Treaty of Versailles,
dated June 28th, 1919, and coming into force on January 10th, 1920;
Affirms that Germany has been obliged by the events of the War and by the
Treaty of Versailles to renounce all the rights, interests, and privileges which she
acquired by virtue of the Treaty concluded by her with China on March 6th, 1898,
and other Acts concerning the Province of Shantung, and finds herself deprived
of the possibility of restituting them to China;
And formally declares:
To consent to the abrogation of the consular jurisdiction in China.
To renounce, in favour of China, all the rights which the German Government
possessed in the “ Glacis ” attached to the German Legation in Peking, admitting
that by the expression “ public properties ” in the First Paragraph of Article 130'
of the Treaty of Versailles the above-mentioned ground was equally included ;
And to be prepared to reimburse the Chinese Government the expenses for the-
internment of German militaries in the various camps of internment in China.
The undersigned takes this occasion to renew to His Excellency the assurances-
of his high consideration.
(Signed) H. von Borch.
Letter from Dr. W. W. Yen, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
to Herr von Borch
Your Excellency, May 20th, 1921.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s letter of
even date in which it is stated :—
As an explanation to the German Declaration and the Sino-German Agree-
ment I have the honour, at the instruction of my Government, to make the follow-
ing declarations:
(1.) Customs tariff on Chinese goods imported into Germany. The statement
that the import, export and transit duties to be paid by nationals of either of the
Two High Contracting Parties shall not be higher than those paid by nationals of
tlie country, as provided for in Article 4 of the Agreement, does not preclude China
from the privilege of applying Article 264 of the Versailles Treaty.
Payment of Indemnity
(2.) The payment of indemnity. The statement in the German Declaration
that Germany is prepared to reimburse the Chinese Government the expenses oa
the internment of German militaries in various camps of internment in China is
understood to mean that Germany, in addition to indemnifying China for her losses,
according to the principles of the Versailles Treaty, is also willing to refund to China,
the internment expenses. As to the indemnity for war losses, Germany undertakes
TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN CHINA AND GERMANY 159
-to pay in advance a portion thereof in a lump sum, which represents the equvialent
•of one-half of the proceeds from the liquidated German property and one-half of the
values of the sequestrated but not yet liquidated German property, which amount
will eventually be agreed upon and which will consist of $4,000,000 in cash and the
balance in Tsin-Pu and Hu-Kuang railway bonds.
(3.) Chinese property in Germany. The movable and immovable properties of
^Chinese residents of Germany will be returned at the ratification of the agree-
ment.
(4.) Chinese students in Germany will be returned at the ratification of the
agreement.
(5,) Chinese students in Germany. In regard to the Chinese students in Ger-
many the German Government will be pleased to assist them with its best efforts
Tin securing admission to schools or acquiring practical experience.
Queries Answered
As to the queries addressed by Tour Excellency, I have the honour to reply as
"follows:
(1.) The security to be given in future to the property of Chinese or German
residents. The Chinese Government promises to give full protection to the peaceful
undertkings of Germans in China and agrees not to further sequestrate their pro-
perties except in accordance with the generally recognized principles of international
daw and the provisions of the laws of China, provided that the German Government
will treat the Chinese residents iu Germany in like manner.
(2.) Judicial guarantee. Lawsuits of Germans in China shall be tried in the
-modern courts according to the modern codes, with the right of appeal, and in
■accordance with the regular legal procedure. During the period of litigation the
assistance of German lawyers and interpreters, who have been duly recognized by
the court, is permitted.
(3.) In regard to the lawsuits in the Mixed Court in which Germans are in-
volved either as one or both parties, the Chinese Government will in the future try
to find a solution so as to insure justice and fairness to all parties concerned.
(4.) China’s Trading with the Enemy Act. All the laws and regulations con-
cerning trade with the enemy will lose their effect from the day of the ratification
of the treaty. All German trade-marks which had been registered at the Customs
House will recover their validity if they are registered again, after the ratification of
•the Agreement, at the Customs House by their owners. Prior to the general ap-
plication of the national tariff in China, the imports of Germans may pay the
•Customs duties according to the tariff rate in general use.
(5.) The liquidation of Sino-German indebtedness. The Chinese Govern-
•ment has no intention to join the Clearing House system, as provided for in Article
296 of the Versailles Treaty. Furthermore, the Chinese Government, in considera-
tion of the fact that Germany undertakes, as stated above, to pay a lump sum as a
portion of the indemnity for war losses sustained by the Chinese Government,
agrees to effectually cease, at the signature of the Agreement, all liquidation of Ger-
man properties, and on receipt of the aforesaid indemnity and after the ratification
•of the Agreement agrees to return to German owners all the proceeds from the
liquidation of German property and all the German property still under sequestra-
tion. The aforesaid procedure shall be considered as a settlement of all the matters
•concerning the liquidation, sequestration or control of German property as stated
in the second sentence of Article 133 of the Versailles Treaty.
As to the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank and the Ching-Hsin Mining Corporation,
the Chinese authorities concerned will discuss methods of settlement with the Bank
.and the Corporation themselves ; the unliquidated premises of the said bank in
Pteking and Hankow will, however, be returned to the original owner in accordance
with the procedure stated above.

KOREA
TREATY 01' 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.

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 foreiarn Consular Courts in Korea at tbe time the Treaty of Annexation
takes effect shall remain in such Courts until final decision.
2. —Independently of any conventional engagements formerly
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
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
©pen ports of Japan.
G!
164 TEEATT OP ANNEXATION TO JAPAN
4.—The existing open ports of Korea, with the excaption of Masampo, will he
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,
desiring 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 the 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

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.

grants upon those Koreans who bn account of meritorious services are regarded as
deserving such special recognition.

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.

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.

CONVENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND
JAPAN EOR THE PROTECTION OE THE ESTATES
OE 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 Siiizo, Junii, First Class of the-
Imperial Order of the Kising 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.

2. —They shall have the right, equally with native subjects, to carry on
commerce and manufacture, and to trade in all kinds of merchandise of lawful com •
merce, either in person or by agents, singly or in partnerships with foreigners or
native subjects.
3. —They shall in all that relates to the pursuit of their industries, callings
fessions, and educational studies be placed in all respects on the same looting as the
subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation.
4. —They shall be permitted to own or hire and occupy houses, manufacto
warehouses, shops, and premises which may be necessary for them, and to lease
land for residential, commercial, industrial, and other lawful purposes, in the same
manner as native subjects.
5. —They shall, on condition of reciprocity, be at full liberty to acquire
possess every description of property, movable or immovable, which the laws of the
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-

personal service; and from all forced loans and military requisitions or contributions
unless imposed on them equally with native subjects as owners, lessees, or occupiers

8
226 TREATY OF COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION
la the above respects the subjects of each of the high contracting parties shall
not be accorded in the territories of the other less favourable treatment than that
which is or may be accorded to subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation.
Art. III.—The dwellings, warehouses, manufactories, and shops of the subjects
of each of the high contracting parties in the territories of the other, and all pre-
mises appertaining thereto used for lawful purposes, shall be respected. It shall not
be allowable to proceed to make a domiciliary visit to, or a search of, any such
buildings and premises, or to examine or inspect books, papers, or accounts, except
under the conditions and with the forms prescribed by the laws for native subjects.
Art. IV.—Each of the high contracting parties may appoint Consuls-General,
Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents in all ports, cities, and places of the
other, except in those where it may not be convenient to recognise such officers.
This exception, however, shall not be made in regard to one of the high contracting
parties without being made likewise in regard to all other Powers.
Such Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents, having re-
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 parties 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.
It is understood that in all that concerns the administration of the estates of
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
to the Consular officers of the other high contracting party.
Art. VI.—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.
Art. VII.—Articles, the produce or manufacture of the territories of one high
contracting party, upon importation into the territories of the other, from whatever
place arriving, shall enjoy the lowest rates of Customs duty applicable to similar
articles of any other foreign origin.
No prohibition or restriction shall be maintained or imposed on the importation
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 of cattle, or of plants useful to agriculture.
BETWEEN GEEAT BEITAIN AND JAPAN 227
Art. VIII.—The articles, the produce or manufacture of the United Kingdom, enu-
merated in Part I. of the Schedule annexed to this Treaty, shall not, on importation
into Japan, be subjected to higher Customs duties than those specified in the Schedule.
The articles, the produce or manufacture of Japan, enumerated in Part II. of
the Schedule annexed to this Treaty, shall be free of duty on importation into the
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-
fication in the 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 not 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 aborgate the present Article, and on
the expiration of such notice the present Article shall cease to have effect, without
prejudice to the other stipulation 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 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 tw<>
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. XI.—No internal duties levied for the benefit of the State, local authorities,
or corporations which affect, or may affect, the production, manufacture, or consump-
tion of any article in the territories of either of the high contracting parties shall
for any reason be a higher or more burdensome charge on articles the produce or
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
parties 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
I 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
I 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.
But the foregoing privilege shall not extend to articles which, owing to their quantity
i 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-tree 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 by 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
228 TKEA.TY OF COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION
eaumerated in the list. The Customs authorities of either country may, however,
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 Association,
and other recognised Commercial Associations in the territories of the high con-
tracting Parties as may be authorised in this behalf, shall be mutually accepted as
competent authorities for issuing any certificates that may be required for com-
mercial travellers.
Art. XV.—Limited liability and other companies and associations, commercial,
industrial, and financial, already or hereafter to be organised in accordance with the
laws of either high contracting party, are authorised, in the territories of the others
to exercise their right and appear in the Courts either as plaintiffs or defendants,
subject to the laws of such other party.
Art. XVI.—Each of the high 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 f.o, anv 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 high contracting parties, no
privileges or facilities shall be granted by either party to national vessels which are
not equally, in like cases, granted to the vessels of the other country; the intention of
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.
Art. XVIII.—All vessels which according to Japanese law are to be deemed
Japanese vessels, and all vessels which according to British law are to be deemed
British vessels, shall, for the purpose of this Treaty, be deemed Japanese and British
vessels respectively.
Art. XIX.—No duties of tonnage, harbour, pilotage, lighthouse, quarantine, or
other analogous duties or charges of whatever nature, or under whatever denomina-
tion, levied in the name or for the profit of Government, public functionaries, private
individuals, corporations or establishments of any kind, shall be imposed in the ports
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 waters 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 parties 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 through tickets or merchandise consigned on through bills of lad-
ing to or from places not within the above-mentioned limits, and while engaged in
BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND JAPAN 229
fliich carriage these vessels an Treaty.
Art. XXII.—If any seaman should desert from anv 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, he 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 he 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 Regulations 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 board 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 Protectorate 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.

Majesty’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, First Class of the Order of the Rising
Sun, etc., etc., etc., and the President of the United States of America, Richard B.

the following Articles:
Art. I.—The High Contracting Parties engage to deliver up to each other, under
the circumstances and conditions stated in the present Treaty, all persons who, being
accused or convicted of one of the crimes or offences named below in Article II., and

234 EXTEADITION TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN
12. —Murder, assault with intent to kill, and manslaug
high seas, on board a ship bearing the flag of the demanding country.
13. —Malicious destruction of, or attempt to destroy, ra
bridges, dwellings, public edifices, or other buildings, when the act endangers human
life.
Art. III.—If the person demanded be held for trial in the country on which the
demand is made, it shall be optional with the latter to grant extradition or to proceed
with the trial: Provided that, unless the trial shall be for the crime for which the fugitive
is claimed, the delay shall not prevent ultimate extradition.
Art. IV.—If it be made to appear that extradition is sought with a view to try
or punish the person demanded for an offence of a political character, surrender shall
not take place, nor shall any person surrendered be tried or punished for any political
offence committed previously to his extradition, or for any offence other than that in
respect of which the extradition is granted.
Art. V.—The requisition for extradition shall be made through the diplomatic
agents of the contracting parties, or, in the event of the absence of these from the
country or its seat of Government, by superior Consular officers.
If the person whose extradition is requested shall have been convicted of a crime,
a copy of the sentence of the Court in which he was convicted, authenticated under
its seal, and an attestation of the official character of the judge by the proper executive
authority, and of the latter by the Minister or Consul of Japan or of the United
States, as the case may be, shall accompany the requisition.
When the fugitive is merely charged with crime, a duly authenticated copy of
the warrant of arrest in the country making the demand and of depositions on which
such warrant may have been issued, must accompany the requisition.
The fugitive shall be surrendered only on such evidence of criminality as
according to the laws of the place where the fugitive or person so charged shall be
found would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial if the crime had been
there committed.
Art. VI.—On being informed by telegraph, or other written communication
through the diplomatic channel, that a lawful warrant has been issued by competent
authority upon probable cause for the arrest of a fugitive criminal charged with any
of the crimes enumerated in Article II. of this Treaty, and on being assured from the
same source that a request for the surrender of such criminal is about to be made in
accordance with the provisions of this Treaty, each Government will endeavour to
procure, so far as it lawfully may, the provisional arrest of such criminal, and keep
him in safe custody for a reasonable time, not exceeding two months, to await the
production of the documents upon which claim for extradition is founded.
Art. VII.—Neither of the contracting parties shall be bound to deliver up its
own subjects or citizens under the stipulations of this convention, but they shall have
the power to deliver them up if in their discretion it be deemed proper to do so.
Art. VIII.—The expenses of the arrest, detention, examination, and transporta-
tion of the accused shall be paid by the Government which has requested the extradi-
tion.
Art. IX.—The present Treaty shall come into force sixty days after the exchange
of the ratifications thereof. It may be terminated by either party, but shall remain
in force for six months after notice has been given of its termination.
The Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Washington
as soon as possible.
In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Treaty
in duplicate and have thereunto affixed their seals.
Done at the city of Tokyo, the twenty-ninth day of the fourth month of the

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
THE QUADRUPLE ALLIANCE
OFFICIAL TEXT
At the fourth plenary session of the Conference on Limitation of Armaments,,
held on December 10th, 1921, Senator Lodge made public the following draft of a
treaty and accompanying reservations:—
The United Stales of America, the British Empire, France and Japan, with
a view to the preservation of the general peace and the maintenance of their
rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in the
regions of the Pacific Ocean, have determined to conclude a treaty to this effect
and have appointed as their plenipotentiaries :—
The President of the United States
His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the seas, Emperor o£‘
India
And
For the Dominion of Canada
For the Commonwealth of Australia
For the Dominion of New Zealand
For India
The President of the French Eepublic
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan
Who, having communicated their full powers found in good and due form, have-
agreed as follows:—
Aeticle I.—The high contracting parties agree as between themselves to
respect their rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in
the region of the Pacific Ocean. If there should develop between any of the-
high contracting parties a controversy arising out of any Pacific question and
involving their said rights, which is not satisfactorily settled by diplomacy and is
likely to affect the harmonious accord now happily subsisting between them, they
shall invite the other high contracting parties to a joint conference to which the-
whole subject will be referred for consideration and adjustment.
Aeticle II.—If the said rights are threatened by the aggressive action of any
other Power, the high contracting parties shall communicate with one another
fully and frankly in order to arrive at an understanding as to the most efficient
measures to be jointly or separately taken to meet the particular situation.
Aeticle III.—This Agreement shall remain in force for ten years from the-
time it shall take effect, and after the expiration of said period it shall continue to-
be in force subject to the right of any of the high contracting parties to terminate
it upon twelve months’ notice.
Aeticle IY.—This Agreement shall be ratified as soon as possible in accord-
ance with the constitutional methods of the high contracting parties and shall
take effect on the deposit of ratifications, which shall take place at Washington,
and thereupon the Agreement between Great Britain and Japan which was con-
cluded at London on July 13th, 1911, shall terminate.
Reseevations.—The signing of this Treaty is on the part of the United States-
subject to (reservations affecting) the island of Yap and what are termed the
Mandate Islands in the Pacific Ocean, north of the Equator, the negotiations in
regard to which are almost concluded, and also the reservations with respect to-
what are termed the Mandate Islands in the Pacific Ocean south of the Equator,
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS 255
Tfc should also be observed that the controversies to which the proposed Treaty refers
do not include questions which, according to the principles of international law,
qie exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of the respective Powers.
In the course of his address, Senator Lodge stated : “ To put it in a few words,
•the Treaty provides that the four signatory Powers will agree between themselves
in regard to their insular possessions and dominions in the region of the Pacific,
-and that if any controversy should arise as to such rights all the high contracting
parties shall be invited to a joint conference looking to the adjustment of such
controversy. They agree to take similar action in the case of aggression by any
•other Power upon these insular possessions or dominions. This Agreement is to
remain in force for ten years, and, after ratification under the constitutional
methods of the high contracting parties, the existing agreement between Great
Britain and Japan, which was concluded at London on July 13, 1911, shall
terminate. Each signer is bound to respect the rights of the others, and before
taking action in any controversy to consult with them. There is no provision for
the use of force to carry out any of the terms of the Agreement, and no military or
naval stations lui'k anywhere in the background or under cover of these plain and
direct clauses. The surest way to prevent war is to remove the cause of war.
This is an attempt to remove the cause of war over a great area of the globe’s
•surface by reliance upon the good faith and honest intentions of the nations which,
■signed this Treaty solving all differences through a process of diplomacy and joint
consideration and conciliation.
TERRITORIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INTEGRITY OF CHINA
The Far Eastern Committee of the Conference unanimously adopted a resolu-
tion declaring in favour of the territorial and administrative integrity of China.
The resolution, which was drafted and presented by Senator Root, was signed by
•eight Powers, China refraining from appending her signature as being unfitting
in a document regarding herself.
Following is the text of the resolution:—“ It is the firm intention of the
Powers attending the Conference, firstly, to respect the sovereignty, independence
and territorial and administrative integrity of China; secondly, to provide the fullest,
unembarrassed opportunity for China to develop and to maintain an effective and
■stable Government; thirdly, to use their influence for the purpose of effectively
■establishing and maintaining the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and
industry to all nations throughout Chinese territory; fourthly, to refrain from taking
advantage of present conditions in order to seek special rights and privileges
abridging the rights of subjects of friendly States, and also to refrain from
countenancing any action inimical to the security of such States.”
The Far Eastern Committee passed a resolution, suggested by Sir Auckland
Geddes, under which the Powers attending the Conference declared their inten-
tion “ not to enter into any treaty, agreement, arrangement, or understanding with
one another, or individually or collectively with any Power or Powers, which
infringes or impairs the principles declared by the resolution adopted by the Com-
mitte on the 21st ult.” (i.e., Senator Root’s resolution declaring for the territorial
and administrative integrity of China).
256 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
FOREIGN POST OFFICES IN CHINA
Representatives of tlie nine Powers sitting as a Committee on the Pacific and’
Far Eastern questions adopted a resolution in favour of the relinquishment of
foreign post-office privileges in China. All the Powers agreed upon January 1st, 1923,
as the date of relinquishment.
The text of the resolution is:— “ Recognising the justice of the desire expressed
by the Chinese Government to secure the abolition of foreign postal agencies in
China, save or except in leased territories or otherwise specifically provided for by
Treaty, it is resolved:
“ I:—That the four Powers having such postal agencies agree to their
abandonment, subject to the following conditions : First, that an efficient Chinese
postal service be maintained; second, that an assurance be given by the Chinese
Government that they contemplate no change in the present postal administration
as far as the status of the foreign Co-Director-General is concerned.
“II:—To enable China and the Powers concerned to make the necessary
.dispositions this arrangement shall come into force not later than (date blank).
Pending the complete withdrawal of foreign postal agencies the four Powers concerned
severally undertake to afford full facilities to the Chinese Customs authorities to<
examine all postal matter (except ordinary letters, whether registered or not, which
upon external examination appear to contain written matter) passing through with a
view to ascertaining whether they contain articles of dutiable contraband or other-
wise contravening the Customs regulations and laws of China.”
EXTRA-TERRITORIAL RIGHTS IN CHINA
A resolution was unanimously adopted by the Far Eastern Committee relative to-
the Extra-Territorial Question. It provides that the Powers concerned shall establish
a Commission, to which each shall appoint a member, to enquire into the present
practice of extra-territorial jurisdiction in China, and into the laws, the judicial system
and methods of judicial administration, with a view to reporting findings of fact, with
recommendations regarding the means to improve the existing conditions of adminis-
tration of justice in China and to assist the efforts of the Chinese Government to
effect such legislation and judicial reforms as will warrant the Powers in relinquishing
progressively or otherwise their rights of extra-territoriality.
The Commission shall be constituted within three months after the adjournment
of the Conference, and be instructed to submit its report and recommendations within
a year after the Commission’s first meeting. Each of the Powers shall be deemed free
to accept or reject all or any portion of the recommendations, but in no case are any
of the Powers to make acceptance directly or indirectly dependent on China’s granting
any special concession, favour, benefit, or immunity, whether political or economic.
An additional resolution provides that non-signatory Powers having extra-terri-
torial rights in China may accede to the resolution in regard to extra-territoriality
within three months after the adjournment of the Conference.
A further additional resolution expresses China’s satisfaction with the sympathy
of the Powers in regard to the abolition of extra-territoriahty, and declares China’s-
intention to appoint a Chinese member of the Extra-Territoriality Commission, it
being understood that China is free to accept or reject any or all of the recommenda-
tions of the Commission. China is prepared to co-operate in the work of the
Commission and in every way to facilitate the successful accomplishment of its task.
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS 257
RADIO STATIONS IN CHINA
A report was submitted by the Sub-Committee on Drafting relating to radio
stations for China which states that representatives of the nine Powers at the
Conference decided that all radio stations in China, whether maintained under the
provisions of the International Protocol of September, 1901, or, in fact maintained
on the grounds of any of the foreign Legations in China, shall be limited in use to
sending and receiving G-overnment messages and shall not receive or send commercial,
personal, or unofficial messages, including Press matter.
It is provided, however, that in case all other telegraphic communication is inter-
rupted, then, upon official notification, accompanied by proof of such interruption, to
the Chinese Ministry of Communications such stations may afford temporary facilities
for messages excluded as before-mentioned until the Chinese Government notify the
termination of the interruption.
All radio stations on Chinese territory operated by foreign Governments’ sub-
jects under treaties or concessions shall limit the messages sent or received by the
terms of the treaty or concession under which the respective stations are maintained.
Any radio station maintained without the authority of the Chinese Government shall
be transferred to China to be operated under the direction of the Chinese Ministry of
Communications, against compensation to the owners for the value of the installation,
as soon as the Ministry is prepared to operate the same effectively for general public
benefit. Should any question arise regarding radio stations in leased territories,
the South Manchuria railway zone, or the French Concession in Shanghai they
shall be regarded as matters for discussion between the Chinese Government and the
Governments concerned. Owners or managers of all foreign radio stations shall
confer with the Chinese Ministry of Communications for the purpose of seeking a
common arrangement to avoid interference in the use of wave lengths by wireless
stations in China, subject to such a general arrangement as may be made by the
International Conference convened for revision of the rules established by the
London International Radio Telegraph Convention of 1912.
TEXT OF THE NINE-POWER AGREEMENT

on February 4th, 1922, by the Conference at Washington:—

interests any general superiority of rights with respect to commercial or economic
development in any designated region in China.
(b) Any such monopoly or preference as would deprive the nationals of any
other Power of the right of undertaking any legitimate trade or industry in
China, or of participating with the Chinese G-overnment or with any local authority

geographical extent is calculated to frustrate the practical application of the
principle of equal opportunity.

undertaking or to the encouragement of invention and research.

other means of conveying such passengers or goods before or after their transport

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
I '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 18S6, 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
i 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 shall
not take place before the ratification of this Treaty, nor until ten vessels owned by
- 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
D with a British subject in Siam, they shall be searched for, and, upon proof of their
1 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
I British subjects shall not be considered as such by the British Consul, nor be entitled
J to his protection.
Art. IV.—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
268 TEEATY 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 Government 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 Governor 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. VI.—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. VII.—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 269
to the payment of import and export duties on the g;oods 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 only 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
other 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 ai-ticles.
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 and its 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.

either before or after entering the river, as may be found convenient, report the
arrival of his vessel at the Custom-house at Paknam, together with the number of
his crew and guns, and the port from whence he comes. Upon anchoring his vessel
at Paknam, he will deliver into the custody of the Custom-house officers all his guns
and ammunition; and a Custom-house officer will then be appointed to the vessel,
and will proceed in her to Bangkok.
Art. II.—A vessel passing Paknam without discharging her guns and ammuni-
tion as directed in the foregoing regulation will be sent back to Paknam to comply
with its provisions, and will be fined eight hundred ticals for having so disobeyed.
After delivery of her guns and ammunition she will be permitted to return to
Bangkok to trade.
Art. III.—When a British vessel shall have cast anchor at Bangkok, the master,
unless a Sunday should intervene, will within four and twenty hours after arrival
proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit there his ship’s papers, bills of lading,
etc., together with a true manifest of his import cargo ; and upon the Consuls
reporting these particulars to the Custom-house permission to break bulk will at once
be given by the latter.
For neglecting so to report his arrival or for presenting a false manifest, the
master will subject himself, in each instance, to a penalty of four hundred ticals ; but
he will be allowed to correct, within twenty-four hours after delivery of it to the
Consul, any mistake he may discover in his manifest, without incurring the above-
mentioned penalty.
Art. IV.—A British vessel breaking bulk, and commencing to discharge, before
due permission shall be obtained, or smuggling, either when in the river or outside
the bar, shall be subject to the penalty of eight hundred ticals and confiscation of
the goods so smuggled or discharged.
Art. V.—As soon as a British vessel shall have discharged her cargo and
completed her outward lading, paid all her duties and delivered a. true manifest of
her outward cargo to the British Consul, a Siamese port-clearance shall be granted
her on application from the Consul, who in the absence of any legal impediment to
her departure, will then return to the master his ship’s papers, a.nd allow the vessel
to leave. A Custom-house officer will accompany the vessel to Paknam; and on
arriving there she will be inspected by the Custom-house officers of that station, and
will receive from them the guns and ammunition previously delivered into their
charge. The above regulations, numbered from 1 to 5, are obligatory under the
Treaty concluded between Great Britain and Siam; those which follow, numbered
from 6 to 14, are equally to be observed by masters of British vessels and their crews.
Art. VI.—Masters of British vessels, when reporting their arrival at Her Majesty’s
Consulate at the port of Bangkok, as directed by the fourth regulation above quoted,
shall notify in writing the names of all passengers and persons not forming part of
the registered crew.
Notice must likewise be given of the number and names of persons, who, as
passengers or in any other capacity (seamen borne on the muster-roll excepted), in-
tend to leave Siam in a British vessel.
Art. VII.—Seamen, lascars, and others belonging to British vessels in the port
are strictly prohibited to wear side knives and other weapons while on shore.
Art. VIII.—Should any seaman or apprentice absent himself without leave, the
master will report his absence, if such exceeds twenty-four hours, at the Consulate
offices.
Art. IX.—Any British subject who entices a seaman or apprentice to desert^
incurs, according to the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, paragraph 257, a penalty not
TARIFF OF DUTIES—SIAM 271
exceeding ten pounds ; or any sncli subject who wilfully harbours or secretes a person
deserted from his ship incurs a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds, if it be proved
that he had knowledge of his being a deserter.
In default of the payment of such tines, the offender is to be imprisoned in the
Consular gaol for any term not exceeding three months, with or without hard labour.
Art. X.—All cases of death, and especially of sudden death, occurring on board
of British vessels in the port of Bangkok must be immediately reported at the
Consulate.

Consul from the proper Siamese authority, is forbidden, under a penalty not exceed-
ing ten pounds.
Art. XII.—It is strictly prohibited to shoot birds within the precincts of the
Wats or Temples, either in Bangkok or elsewhere within the Siamese dominions, or to-
injure or damage any of the statues or figures, the trees or shrubs in such localities of
Siamese Worship; any British subject or seaman of a British vessel guilty of such an ac t
renders himself liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds, or in default thereof
to an imprisonment in the Consular gaol for a period of not more than one month.
Art. XIII.—When a vessel under the British flag is ready to leave the port of
Bangkok, the master will give notice at the Consulate office, and hoist a blue peter
twenty-four hours before departure, which is to fly until she breaks anchorage.
Art. XIV.—Should any vessel take in or discharge cargo subsequent to the issue
of the Siamese port clearance, as directed by the fifth regulation above quoted, the
master, as in a case of smuggling, subjects himself to a penalty of 800 ticals (equal
to <£100), and goods so taken or discharged will be liable to confiscation.

TEEATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM 277
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 proyinces 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 orown any construction or repamng 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 Devawongse 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.
278 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 Varoprakar.
Mr. Paget to Prince Devawongse
M. le Ministre, March 10, 1909.
With reference to the guarantee contained in the first paragraph of Article 1Y. 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 some
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.

FEANCE
TREATY BETWEEN ERANCE AND SIAM
Signed at Paris, February, 1904
I. —Tlie frontier between Siam and Cambodia starts on the left bank
Great Lake, from the month of the River Stung Ruolos. It follows the parallel of
this point in an Eastward direction till it meets the River Preak Kompung Tiam
then, turning Northward, it corresponds to the meridian of that point till it reaches
1 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 the rig
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
t River 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,
I following the watershed between the two basins to the sources of the River Nam-Kop,
the course of which it follows till it meets the Mekong.
III. —The delimitation of the frontier between the Kingdom of Siam
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 rights
territories of Louang-Prabang, situated on the right bank of the Mekong. 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.
VAs soon as the Agreement stipulated for in Paragraph 2 of Clause III-,,
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
i authorities that the territory involved in this Agreement, and the territories situated
f 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, 1893, shall be
replaced by the following:—“ His Majesty the King of Siam undertakes that the
1 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
;282 TEEATY 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.”
VII. —In future, in the Siamese portion of the
•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. With 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 Conven
of 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 t
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. With 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
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 sub
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,
-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
TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND SIAM
actions in which the defendant is a Siamese shall be heard before the Siamese
Court of Foreign Causes, instituted 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.
XV. —In case of difficulties in the interpretation of the prese
which is drawn up in French and Siamese, the French text alone shall stand.
XVI. —The present Convention shall be ratified within four
day of the signature, or earlier if possible.

March 23rd, 1907
With a view to facilitating the labours of the Commission arranged for in Article
IV. of the Treaty of to-day’s date, and with a view to avoiding any possible difficulties
arising in regard to the delimitation, the G-overnment of the French Republic and
the Government of Kis Majesty the King of Siam have agreed upon the following:—
Clause I.—The frontier between French Indo-China and Siam starts from the
sea at a point situated opposite the highest summit of the Island of Koh-Kut. It
follows from this point a north-easterly direction to the crest of Pnom-Krevanh. It is
formally agreed that, in all cases, the east slopes of these mountains, including the whole
•of the basin of the Klong-Kopo, should continue to form part of French Indo-China.
ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN PRANCE AND SIAM
The frontier follows the crest of the Pnom-Krevanh in a northerly direction as
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
f 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 Nam-Huong, and follows the thalweg of that river as
[ far as its source which is situated at the Phu-Khao-Mieng. Thence the frontier
i follows the watershed between the Mekong and the Menam and terminates 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
I 'conventional lines, this rectification cannot be made, in any case, to the detriment
of the Siamese Government.

Protocol, and have affixed their seals.

to the exportation of the like article to any other country.
Art. VIII.—All articles which are or may be legally imported into the ports of
the dominions and possessions of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan in Japanese
vessels or vessels of the most favoured nation may likewise be imported into those-
ports in Siamese vessels, without being liable to any other or higher duties or charges-
of whatever denomination than if such articles were imported in Japanese vessels or
vessels of the most favoured nation, and reciprocally, all articles which are or may be
legally imported into the ports of the dominions and possessions of His Majesty the
King of Siam in Siamese vessels or in vessels of the most favoured nation, may like-
wise be imported into those ports in Japanese vessels, without being liable to any
other or higher duties or charges of whatever denomination than if such articles
were imported in Siamese vessels or vessels of the most favoured nation. Such
reciprocal equality of treatment shall take effect without distinction, whether such
articles come directly from the place of origin or from any other place.
In the same manner there shall be perfect equality of treatment in regard to
exportation, so that the same internal and export duties shall be paid and the same
bounties and drawbacks allowed in the dominions and possessions of either of the
high contracting parties on the exportation of any article which is or may be legally
exported therefrom whether such exportation shall take place in Japanese or Siamese
vessels or in vessels of a third Power and whatever may be the place of destination,
whether a port of either of the contracting parties, or of any third Power.
Art. IX.—No other higher duties or charges on account of tonnage, light or
harbour dues, pilotage, quarantine, salvage in case of damage or shipwreck or any
other local charges, shall be imposed in any ports of Japan on Siamese vessels nor
in any of the ports of Siam on Japanese vessels than are now or may hereafter be
payable in the like cases in the same ports on national vessels in general or vessels
of the most favoured nation. Such equality of treatment shall apply reciprocally to
the respective vessels from whatever port or place they may arrive and whatever may
be their place of destination.
TEEATT BETWEEN JAPAN AND SIAM
Art. X.—In all that concerns the entering, clearing, stationing, loading and
unloading of vessels in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, or rivers of the
dominions and possessions of the two countries no privilege shall be granted by one
country to national vessels or vessels of any third Power, which shall not be equally
granted in similar cases to vessels of the other country.
Art. XI.—Any ship of war or merchant vessel of either of the high contracting
parties which may be compelled by stress of weather, or by reason of any other dis-
tress, to take shelter in a port of the other, shall be at liberty to refit therein, to pro-
cure all necessary supplies, and to put to sea again, without paying any duties other
than such as would be payable by national vessels. In case, however, the master of
a merchant vessel should be under the necessity of disposing of a part of his cargo
in order to defray the expenses, he shall be bound to conform to the regulations and
tariffs of the place to which he may come.
If any ship of war or merchant vessel of one of the contracting parties should
run aground or be wrecked upon the coasts of the other, such ship or vessel, and all
parts thereof, and all furnitures and appurtenances belonging thereunto, and all
goods and merchandise saved therefrom, including those which may have been cast
into the sea, or the proceeds thereof, if sold, as well as all papers found on board
such stranded or wrecked ship or vessel, shall be given up to the owners, master or
their agents, when claimed by them. If such owners, master or agents are not on
the spot, the same shall be delivered to the respective Consuls-General, Consuls,
Vice-Consuls or Consular Agents upon being claimed by them within the period
fixed by the laws of the country, and such consular officers, owners, master or agents
shall pay only the expenses incurred in the preservation of the property, together
with the salvage or other expenses which would have been payable in the case of a
wreck of a national vessel.
The goods and merchandise saved from the wreck shall be exempt from all the
duties of the Customs unless cleared for consumption, in which case they shall pay
the ordinary duties.
In the case of a ship or vessel belonging to the subjects of either of the con-
tracting parties being driven in by stress of weather, run aground or wrecked in the
dominions and possessions of the other, the respective Consuls-G-eneral, Consuls,
Vice-Consuls and Consular Agents shall, if the owner or master or other agent of
the owner is not present, or is present but requires it, be authorized to interpose in
order to afford the necessary assistance to the subjects of the respective States.
Art. XII.—The vessels of war of each of the high contracting parties may enter,
remain, and make repairs in those ports and places of the other, to which the vessels
of war of the most favoured nation are accorded access j they shall there submit to
the same regulations and enjoy the same honours, advantages, privileges and
exemptions as are now or may hereafter be conceded to vessels of war of the most
favoured nation.
Art. XIII.—The high contracting parties agree that in all that concerns com-
merce, industry and navigation, any privilege, favour, or immunity which either
contracting party has actually granted, or may hereafter grant, to the Government,
subjects, citizens, ships or merchandise of any other State shall be extended immedi-
ately and unconditionally to the Government, subjects, ships or merchandise of the
other contracting party; it being their intention that the trade, industry and naviga-
tion of each country shall be placed, in all respects, by the other on the footing of
the most favoured nation.
Art. XIV.—The present Treaty shall come into force immediately after the
exchange of ratifications, and shall remain in force for ten years, and thereafter until
the expiration of a year from the day on which one or the other of the contracting
parties shall have repudiated it.
Art. XV.—The present Treaty is signed in duplicate in the Japanese, Siamese
and English languages, and in case there should be found any discrepancy between
the Japanese and Siamese texts, such discrepancy shall be decided in conformity

that coast; and including also the territory lying to the north of the basin of the
Menam and situated between the Anglo-Siamese frontier, the Mekong River, and
the Eastern watershed of the Me Ing. They further engage not to acquire within
this region any special privilege or advantage which shall not be enjoyed in common
by, or equally open to, Great Britain and France and their nationals and dependents.
These stipulations, however, shall not be interpreted as derogating from the special

and Siam, apply to a zone of 25 kilom. on the right bank of the Mekong and to the
navigation of that river.
II. —Nothing in the foregoing clause shall hinder any

the British shore by a branch of the river, shall, so long as they are thus separated,
be entrusted to the French authorities. The fishery shall be open to the
inhabitants of both banks.
IV. —The two Governments agree that all commercial a
advantages conceded in the two Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Szechuen either
to Great Britain or France, in virtue of their respective Conventions with China
of March 1, 1894, and June 20, 1895, and all privileges and advantages of any
nature which may in the future be conceded in these two Chinese provinces, either

engage to use their influence and good offices with the Chinese Government for
this purpose.

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;
The undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective G-overnments, 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 Farmer will not be permitted to import more
than 640 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. IY.—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. Y.—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 ret ained 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 240 chests
referred to in Article 4.
Art. YI.—The Governor of Macao will have power to grant licences under the
preceding Article for the importation of the quantities of raw opium exceeding the
limit fixed in Article IY.
Art. YII— VY hereas the limit of chests of raw opium that can be imported
annually into Macao has been fixed in Articles II., IY., 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, YIII.—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 farm r) 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.

the Supreme Court, the question involved in the Appeal is one which,
by reason of its great general or public importance or otherwise, ought
to be submitted to His Majesty in Council for decision.
20. Applications to the Supreme Court for leave to appeal shall be made by
motion within fifteen days from the date of the judgment to be appealed from, and,

the applicant shall give the opposite party notice of his intended application.
21. Leave to appeal under Article 13 shall only be granted by the Supreme
Court in the first instance—
(а) Upon condition of the appellant, within two months from the date of
the hearing of the application for leave to appeal, giving security, to
the satisfaction of the Court, to an amount not exceeding =£500, for the
due prosecution of the Appeal, and for the payment of all such costs
as may become payable to the respondent in the event of the appellant’s
not obtaining an order granting him final leave to appeal, or of the
Appeal being dismissed for non-prosecution, or of His Majesty in
Council ordering the appellant to pay the respondent’s costs of the
Appeal (as the case may be); and
(б) Upon such other conditions (if any) as to the time or times within
which the appellant shall take the necessary steps for the purpose of
procuring the preparation of the Record and the dispatch thereof to
England as the Court, having regard to all the circumstances of the
case, may think it reasonable to impose.
22. Where the judgment appealed from requires the appellant to pay money or
perform a duty, the Supreme Court shall have power, when granting leave to appeal,
either to direct that the said judgment shall be carried into execution or that the
I execution thereof shall be suspended pending the Appeal, as to the Court shall seem
just, and in the case the Court shall direct the said judgment to be carried into
execution, the person in whose favour it was given shall, before the execution thereof,
enter into good and sufficient security, to the satisfaction of the Court, for the due
performance of such order as His Majesty in Council shall think fit to make thereon-

23. The preparation of the Record shall be subject to the supervision of the
Supreme Court, and the parties may submit any disputed question arising in eon-
nection therewith to the decisions of the Court* and the Court shall give such direc-
tions thereon as the justice of the case may require.
24. The Registrar, as well as the parties and their legal agents, shall endeavour
to exclude from the Record all documents (more particularly such as are merely
formal) which are not relevant to the subject-matter of the Appeal, and, generally,
to reduce the bulk of the Record as far as practicable, taking special care to avoid
the duplication of documents and the unnecessary repetition of headings and other
merely formal parts of documents; but the documents omitted to be copied or printed
shall be enumerated iu a list to be placed after the index or at the end of the Record.
25. Where in the course of the preparation of a Record one party objects to the
inclusion of a document on the ground that it is unnecessary or irrelevant, and the
other party nevertheless insists upon its being included, the Record, as finally
printed, shall, with a view to the subsequent adjustment of the costs of and incidental
to such document, indicate in the index of papers, or otherwise, the fact that, and
the party by whom, the inclusion of the document was objected to.
26. The Record shall be printed in accordance with the rules in the Schedule
to this Order, and may be printed either locally or in England.

Record, one of which copies he shall certify to be correct by signing his name on,
or initialling, every eighth page thereof, and by affixing thereto the seal of the
Supreme Court.
28. Where the Record is to be printed in England, the Registrar shall, at the
expense of the appellant, transmit to the Registrar of the Privy Council one certified
copy of such Record, together with an index of all the papers and exhibits in the
case. No other certified copies of the Record shall be transmitted to the agents in
England by or on behalf of the parties to the Appeal.
29. Where part of the Record is printed locally and part is to be printed in
England, Articles 21 and 22 shall, as far as practicable, apply to such parts as are
printed locally and such as are to be printed in England respectively.
30. The reasons given by the Judge, or any of the Judges, for or against any
judgment pronounced in the course of the proceedings out of which the Appeal arises,
shall, unless they are included in the Record, be communicated in writing by such
Judge or Judges to the Registrar, and shall by him be transmitted to the Registrar
of the Privy Council at the same time when the Record is transmitted.
31. Where there are two or more applications for leave to appeal arising out of
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 Appeals to be consolidated,
and grant leave to appeal by a single order.
32. An appellant, who has obtained an order granting him conditional leave to
appeal, may at any time prior to the making of an order granting him final leave to
appeal withdraw his Appeal on such terms as to costs and otherwise as the Supreme
Court may direct.
33. Where an appellant, having obtained an order granting him conditional leave
to appeal, and having complied with the conditions imposed on him by such order,
fails thereafter to apply with due diligence to the Supreme Court for an order grant-
ing him final leave to appeal, the Court may, on an application in that behalf made
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
may give such directions as to the costs of the Appeal and the security entered into
THE CHINA (AMENDMENT) ORDER IN COUNCIL, 1913 357
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.
34. On an application for final leave to appeal, the Supreme Court may inquire
i whether notice, or sufficient notice, of the application has been given by the appellant
to all parties concerned, and, if not satisfied as to the notices given, may defer the
granting of the final leave to appeal, or may give such other directions in the matter
as, in the opinion of the Court, the justice of the case requires.
35. An appellant who has obtained final leave to appeal shall prosecute his
Appeal in accordance with the rules for the time being regulating the general practice
and procedure in Appeals to His Majesty in Council.
36. Where an appellant, having obtained final leave to appeal, desires, prior to
the dispatch of the Record to England, to withdraw his Appeal, the Supreme Court
may, upon an application in that behalf made by the appellant, grant him a certificate
to the effect that the Appeal has been withdrawn, and the Appeal shall thereupon be
| deemed, as from the date of such certificate, to stand dismissed without express Order
of His Majesty in Council, and the costs of the Appeal and the security entered into
by the appellant shall be dealt with in such manner as the Court may direct.
37. Where an appellant, having obtained final leave to appeal, fails to show due
1) diligence in taking all necessary steps for the purpose of procuring the dispatch of
the Record to England, the respondent may, after giving the appellant due notice of
his intended application, apply to the Supreme Court for a certificate that the Appeal
has not been effectually prosecuted by the appellant, and if the Court sees fit to grant
i such a certificate, the Appeal shall be deemed, as from the date of such certificate, to
stand dismissed for non-prosecution without express Order of His Majesty in Council,
and the costs of the Appeal and the security entered into by the appellant shall be
dealt with in such manner as the Court may direct.
38. Where at any time between the order granting final leave to appeal and the
dispatch of the Record to England the Record becomes defective by reason of the
death, or change of status, of a party to the Appeal, the Supreme Court may, notwith-
standing the order granting final leave to appeal, on an application in that behalf
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.
39. Where the Record subsequently to its dispatch to England becomes defective
by reason of the death, or change of status, of a party to the Appeal, the Supreme
St Court shall, upon an application in that behalf made by any person interested, cause
i a certificate to be transmitted to the Registrar of the Privy Council 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.
40. The Case of each party to the Appeal may be printed either locally or in
f| England, and shall, in either event, be printed in accordance with the rules in the
Schedule to this Order, every tenth line thereof being numbered in the margin, and
shall be signed by at least one of the Counsel who attends at the hearing of the
Appeal, or by the party himself if he conducts his Appeal in person.
41. The Case shall consist of paragraphs numbered consecutively, and shall state,
| as concisely as possible, the circumstances out of which the Appeal arises, the con-
i', tentions to be urged by the party lodging the same, and the reasons of appeal. Re-
l ferences by page and line to the relevant portions of the Record as printed shall, as
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
officer, in taxing the costs of the Appeal, shall, either of his own motion, or at the
THE CHINA (AMENDMENT) ORDER IN COUNCIL, 1913
instance of the opposite party, inquire into any unnecessary prolixity in the Case, and
shall disallow the costs occasioned thereby. jj
42. Where the Judicial Committee directs a party to bear the costs of an Appeal
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. §
43. The Supreme Court shall execute any Order which His Majesty in Council
may think fit to make on an Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court in like
manner as any original judgment of the Supreme Court should or might have been '
executed.

Lord President Lord Somerleyton
Lord Chamberlain Sir Frederick Ponsonby
Whereas at Versailles, on the 28th day of June, 1919, a Treaty of Peace with
Germany (hereinafter referred to as “the Treaty”) was signed on behalf of His-
Majesty; and
Whereas it was provided in the Treaty that the property of German nationals
within tbe territory or under the control of an Allied or Associated State might be
constituted a pledge for enemy liabilities upon the conditions laid down in the-
Treaty; and
Whereas by the Treaty of Peace Act, 1919, it was provided that His Majesty
might make such appointments, establish such offices, make such Orders in Council,,
and do such things as appeared to Him to be necessary for carrying out the Treaty,
and for giving effect to any of the provisions thereof; and
Whereas by Treaty, grant, usage, sufferance, or other lawful means His Majesty"
has power and jurisdiction in China; and
Whereas there is now in China certain property of German nationals under the-
control of His Majesty, and it is expedient to make provision for charging such pro-
perty with the payment of the liabilities for which it may be constituted a pledge by
the Treaty in the manner hereinafter provided :
Now, therefore, His Majesty, by virtue and in exercise of the powers in this
behalf by the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1890, or otherwise in Him vested, is pleased,,
by and 'with the advice of His Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as
follows :—
1. All property rights and interests in China belonging to German nationals at
the date when the Treaty comes into force (not being property rights or interests
acquired under any general licence issued by or on behalf of His Majesty) and the
net proceeds of their sale, liquidation, or other dealings therewith, so far as such
property rights and interests or such net proceeds are vested in or otherwise under
the control of the Custodian of enemy property or other British authority under the
Trading with the Enemy Acts or the Trading with the Enemy Regulations, are here-
by charged :—
(a) First, with payment of the amounts due in respect of claims by British^

■time, if the Minister thinks fit, be released from the charge so created.

(nationals.

liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds.

shares, or other securities, any company, municipal authority, or
other body by whom the securities were issued or are managed

todian in the books in which the securities are inscribed or
registered as the proprietor of the securities subject to the charge,
and the Custodian shall, subject to the consent of the Minister,
have power to sell or otherwise deal with the securities as pro-
prietor of which he is so registered or inscribed.
(d) The Minister may by order vest in the Custodian any property rights
and interests subject to the charge, or the right to transfer the
same, and for that purpose section 4 of the Trading with the
Enemy (Amendment) Act, 1916, shall apply as if such property
rights and interests were property belonging to an enemy or
enemy subject.

Ai’bitral Tribunal, whether sitting in China or not, and compelling the production
before the Tribunal of documents, the Minister shall have power to issue orders-
which shall have the like effect as if the proceedings before the Tribunal were an
action in the court and the order were a formal process issued by that court in the
due exercise of its jurisdiction and shall be enforceable by that court accordingly,
and disobedience to any such order shall be punishable as contempt of court.
6. Sections IV, V, and VI of Part X of the Treaty relating to property rights
and interests, to contracts, prescriptions and judgments, and to the Mixed Arbitral
Tribunal, and all provisions of the said Treaty affecting or relating to the charge

THE UNITED STATES COURT EOR CHINA
(Chapter 3934, Prescribing the Jurisdiction of the Court)
Be it Enacted by tbe Senate and House of Representatives of the United States-
of America in Congress Assembled, That a Court is hereby established, to be called
the 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
hold 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 oncu
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 signed 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 exercise-
supervisory control over the discharge by Consuls and Yice-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 of such deceased
person under the laws of the United States shall file with the clerk of said Court a
378 THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR CHINA
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
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 Vice-
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 with-
out 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 bond 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 be 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
ho 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, respectively, 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 jurisdiction 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
4he 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
practicable, with the existing procedure prescribed for Consular Courts in China
in accordance with the Revised Statutes of the United States: Provided, however,
that the judge of the said United States Court for China shall have authority from
time to time to modify and supplement said rules of procedure. The provisions of
sections forty-one hundred and six and forty-one hundred and seven of the Revised
-Statutes of the United States allowing Consuls in certain cases to summon associates
shall have no application to said Court.
Sec. 6.—There shall be a district attorney, a marshal, and a clerk of said Court
with authority possessed by the corresponding officers of the District Courts in the
United States as far as may be consistent with the conditions of the laws of the
United States and said treaties. The judge of said Court and the district attorney,
who shall be lawyers of good standing and experience, marshal, and clerk shall be
THE UNITED STATES COUET FOE CHINA 379-
appointed by tbe President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and
shall receive as salary, respectively, the sums of eight thousand dollars per annum
for said judge, four thousand dollars per annum for said district attorney, three
thousand dollars per annum for said marshal, and three thousand dollars per annum
for said clerk. The judge of the said Court and the district attorney shall, when
the sessions of the Court are held at other cities than Shanghai, receive in addition
to their salaries their necessary expenses during such sessions not to exceed ten
dollars per day for the judge and five dollars per day for the district attorney.
Sec. 7.—The tenure of office of the judge of said Court shall be ten years, unless
sooner removed by the President for cause; the tenure of office of the other officials
of the Court shall be at the pleasure of the President.
Sec. 8.—The marshal and the clerk of said Court shall be required to furnish
bond for the faithful performance of their duties, in sums and with sureties to be
fixed and approved by the judge of the Court. They shall each appoint, with the
written approval of said judge, deputies at Canton and Tientsin, who shall also be
required to furnish bonds for the faithful performance of their duties, which bonds
shall be subject, both as to form and sufficiency of the sureties, to the approval of
the said judge. Such deputies shall receive compensation at the rate of five dollars
for each day the sessions of the Court are held, at their respective cities. The office
of marshal in China now existing in pursuance of section forty-one hundred and
eleven of the Revised Statutes is thereby abolished.
Sec. 9.—The tariff of fees of said officers of the Court shall be the same as the
tariff already fixed for the Consular Courts in China, subject to amendment from,
time to time by order of the President, and all fees taxed and received shall be paid
into the Treasury of the United States.
Approved, June 30, 1906.

A melancholy interest attaches to the neighbourhood as the scene of the extinction of
Christianity in the empire and the extermination of the professors of that religion
in 1637. When the Christian religion was crushed and the foreigners were expelled,
to the Dutch alone was extended the privilege of trading with Japan, and they were
-confined to a small plot of ground at Nagasaki called Deshima. By the Treaty of
1858 Nagasaki was one of the ports opened to British trade on the 1st July in the
"following year.
On entering the harbour of Nagasaki no stranger can fail to be struck with the
admirable situation of the town and the beautiful panorama of hilly scenery opened
to his view.

The pore of Keelung lies to the north-east of Tamsui, in latitude
and longitude 121 deg. 47 min. E. It is situated on the shores of a bay between the 25 deg. 6 min. N.
capes of Foki and Peton, some 20 miles apart, amidst bold and striking scenery, backed
by a range of mountains. It was once a Spanish Settlement, but was subsequently

Though but a mere village, it had long carried on a considerable native trade with
Amoy, Chinchew, and Foochow. Keelung was opened to foreign trade at the same
time as the other Formosan ports. The limits of the port are defined to be within a

June, 1885. The place was occupied by the Japanese on the 3rd June, 1895.
The trade returns for 1925 show that the value of the trade of the island was

part of the Japanese Empire. It is a peninsula situated to the north of China which hangs

China—by a revolution, the origin and progress of which will be found described
in the following pages—decided in 1912 to adopt the Republican form of government.

PORT ARTHUR

Port Arthur, at the point of the “ Regent’s Sword, ” or Liaotung Peninsula, was
formerly China’s chief naval arsenal, but was captured by the Japanese in the war
with China in 1894, and its defences and military works were destroyed. In 1898, when
Russia obtained a lease of Port Arthur and Talienwan, she fortified the former, making
it into a great naval and military stronghold.

TSINAN
Tsinan (or Chinan, as it is sometimes written), the capital of the province of
Shantung, has the distinction of being the first city in the Chinese Empire in which a
Foreign Commercial Settlement was voluntarily opened by the Government of China.
The date of its inauguration was January 10th, 1906. The city of Tsinan lies at the foot

Owing to the difficulties experienced in getting the Chinese shareholders to pay up the
calls on their shares as they fell due, the Government resolved at the end of 1908 to raise
a foreign loan. A Chinese-owned line from Canton to Whampoa and thence to Amoy has
been projected and surveys have been made.
