Mr. Rockhill to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Peking, June 11, 1901.

(Mr. Rockhill asks whether he may agree to the increase of duties to 5 per cent effective with the first two compensations mentioned in his telegram of this date, in view of the attitude of the Russian minister, who has informed his colleagues that he will not ask his Government for the revision of the inland navigation regulations.)
