_$ A BLOW TO BRITISH TRADE. By Teleeraph-Press AESOciation-CopyrlEht (Rec. May 26, 11.10 p.m.) London, May 26. Mr. Wilcox, secretary of the China Association, in a letter to "The. Times," which "The Times" describes as "important and convincing," shows that the new Japanese tariff will bo a serious blow -to British trade. Tho rates on many articles are doubled, and in several casos trebled, and a largo majority of those articles chiefly imported from Britain aro subject to increased rates. These, when enforced, will compel many British firms trading in Japan to abandon their business there. Mr. Wilcox quoted Baron Komura's speech- of January 31, to the effect that, England being a perfectly Freetrade country, has no means of purohasiiig tariff concessions from other nations.
