Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, 1894, With the Annual Message of the President, Transmitted to Congress, December 3, 1894

Mr. Uhl to Mr. Denby.

Department of State,
Washington, March 1, 1894.

No. 860.]

Sir: I have received your No. 1784 of 9th ultimo, and the copy which you inclose of a note to the Yamên on the “fraudulent imitation in China of trade-marks on American piece goods;” also the transcript therewith of a proclamation on the subject by the Tientsin customs taotai.

It would seem desirable that the measures adopted at Tientsin by the customs Taotai should be generally enforced at the treaty ports as an equitable remedy for the abuse complained of, and your representations to that end are approved.

I am, etc.,

Edwin F. Uhl,
Acting Secretary.
