With reference to the somewhat vague Chinese telegram, which was translated a day or two ago under our Chinese News, to the effect that the British Minister in Peking had applied to the Waiwapa for a revision of the doty between Tientein and Chinwangtao, later dispatches give more ample details of the matter. It states that the British Minister has communicated with the Waiwapu, eying that the export of beans and grain from Manchuria bad in recent years grown to the extent of millions of piculs, but all these exports bad been shipped from Talienwan to the exclusion of Tientsin or Chinwangtao. The Minister suggested that a customs should be established at Ch'angeh'an, at which the commodities should pay full export duty, after which no farther duties on them should be levied. These goods could then be shipped from Tientain or Chinwangtao and the plan would be imilar to the arrangement in force st Talienwan, of which shippers would no doubt be glad to avail themselves. The Waiwapn has referred the matter to the Mancharian Viceroy for report before taking any action.
