SNUB FOR POWERS.
CANTON' GOVERNMENT. THE QUESTION OF SUR-TAXES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 7.5 p.m.) PEKING, Nov. 12. The Canton .Ministry of Affairs, in replying to the .protest of the Powers against sur-taxes, has snubbed the diplomatic body at Peking. The Ministry returned the note of protest through the post,, declaring that Canton refuses to recognise the Peking Government and therefore cannot recognise the foreign diplomats who reside there. * The Note draws attention to the spread of Cantonese'influence throughout China, and virtually suggests that when the Powers recognise this fact Canton will be prepared to discuss the question of surtaxes.
