Tientsin, Mar. 27.
Mr. Oswald White, the British Consul-General has brought the attention of the Japanese Consul-General to an increasing number of delays at the barriers to which Britons have been subjected during the past few days. Apart from the sudden increased difficulties which have been experienced by individual Britons at the barriers lately, two large parties of British subjects, cluding many prominent persons, and officers of the British Municipal Council returning from a short holiday at Pei-taiyo on Monday and Tuesday, were detained at barriers without apparent reason. They were held up for over two hours before being permitted to pass through.—Reuter.
