My LORD,
With reference to my telegram of the 12th instant, respecting
the new Tariff which will shortly be brought into force in China,
I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of your
Government, a copy of a letter from the Foreign Office, dated

SIR,
[Copy.]
Foreign Office,
10th September, 1901.
A Protocol recording the Agreement arrived at between the
Powers and China in settlement of the disturbances in China
which took place last year was signed on the 7th instant.
It is stipulated by Article VI. that in return for certain concessions the powers have consented to the Import Duties being
placed on the Treaty basis of an effective 5 per cent. on
Maritime Imports, including articles hitherto admitted free,
with the exception of rice, cereals, and flour of foreign origin.
The new Tariff will come into force two months after the
signature of the Protocol, and exception will be made only in
the case of merchandise which is en route ten days at latest after
the date of signature.
The duties will be levied " ad valorevi " pending their con-
version so far as possible to specific duties, which is to be effected
with the least possible delay.
I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to suggest that
the Colonial Governments should be informed by telegram of
this modification of the China Import Tariff.
I have, &c.,

SPECIFICATION FOR GALVAINIZED -IRON TELEGRAPH WIRE.
Notc. In the following specification :
A " piece " shall be understood to mean a single length
of wire without weld, joint, or splice of any descrip-
tion, either before being drawn or in the finished
wire :
A "coil" shall be held to mean a piece of wire in the
form of a coil :
A " bundle," two or more coils properly bound together :
A "parcel," any quantity of manufactured wire pre-
sented for examination and testing at any one
time :
A " mil" is the one - thousandth part of an inch :
The standard ohm is the unit of resistance adopted by
the British Board of Trade, and legalized by the
British Order in Council of the 23rd August, 1894.
1. The wire is to be uniformly annealed, soft, pliable, free from
scale, inequalities, flaws, splits, and other defects, and must be
uniformly cylindrical, and of No. 8, S.W.G., 171 miles, and weighing 40011)5, to the mile.

be distinctly visible between the vices, no fractions being
2. The wire is to be drawn in continuous pieces of the weights
given in the table. Each piece must be warranted not to contain
any weld, joint, or splice whatever in the finished wire.
3. The wire is to be well galvanized with zinc spelter, and this
reckoned.
8. Tests for tensile strength will be made with a lever or other
machine which lias the approval of the Deputy Postmaster General.
will be tested by taking samples from any coil or coils and
9. The electrical resistance of the wire is not to exceed the
plunging them into saturated solution of sulphate of copper, at
60° Fah., and allowing them to remain in the solution for one
minute, when they are to be lithdrawn and wiped clean. The
galvanizing shall admit of this process being four times per-
limit in the said table, and the resistance of each test piece is to
be reduced according to its diameter, such test piece being not
less than one - hundredth part of an English statute mile in
length. In the event of any dispute as to the diameter of any
formed with each sample without there being any sign of a
test piece the Deputy Postmaster - General may have the length
in question weighed, and if the weight per mile of any such test
reddish deposit of metallic copper on the wire, which would be
the case if the coating of zinc were too thin. Samples taken
from coils of the wire shall also bear bending round a bar, without any signs appearing of the zinc cracking or peeling off.
4. The wire to be smoothly and uniformly coiled so that the
eye of the coil shall not be less than 2G inches, or more than 30
i nches in diameter.
5. Every piece may be gauged for diameter in one or more
places. No deviation from the standard diameter greater than
is shown in the table will be allowed.
6. Every piece may be tested for ductility and tensile strength,
piece is either more or less than the standard weight, the resistance
shall not be so high as that when multiplied into its weight per
mile, it would exceed the constant number shown in the said
table, and in all cases where the product is greater than this
constant the wire will be rejected.
1.0. If after the examination of any particular parcel of wire
10 per cent. of such wire does not meet the requirements of all
or any of the foregoing stipulations and of the table, the whole
of such parcel shall be rejected, and no such parcel, or any part
thereof, shall, on any account, be again presented for examination and testing ; and this stipulation shall be deemed to be and
treated as an essential condition of the contract.
11. The coils are to be made up in bundles within the limits of
weight shown in the table and properly bound.
12. Every bundle of wire is to be weighed separately and the
weight (in English pounds avoirdupois) together with the name
and 5 per cent. of the entire number of coils may be cut and
tested in any part.
7. To prove its ductility the wire must be capable of bearing
the number of twists set down in the said table without break-
ing, or showing any sign of splitting, or other defect. The test
will be made as follows : The piece of wire will be gripped by
two vices and twisted by one of the vices being made to revolve
at a speed not exceeding one revolution per second. The twists
