Foreign Relations of the United States, 1901, Appendix, Affairs in China, Report of William W. Rockhill, Late Commissioner to China, with Accompanying Documents

Mr. Rockhill to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Peking, August 8, 1901.

(Mr. Rockhill reports delay to signing of the final protocol caused by objections raised by British Government against the international commission for the revision of tariff, which was unanimously accepted June 11, and the Chinese Government so informed; also by wanting to insert in the protocol a clause highly objectionable to several of the powers.)
