Power: Said to Be Disposed to Allow Revision Peking, Aug. 15.
With regard to the proposal made by China for the revision of the tariff, the Diplomatic Corps some time ago sent an answer to the Chinese Government, stating that the Ministers to Peking had submitted the matter to their respective home Governments. But as among the Ministers there are those, who have not yet received instructions in this connexion.from their own Governments, no definite reply has been given to the Chinese Government by the Diplomatic Body.
It appears, however, that the Powers are on the whole inclined to agree to the proposals in principle.—Eastern News Agency.
