EXTRA-TERRITORIAL RIGHTS
. CHINESE DEMAND REJECTED. By Telegraph— Press Assn.-—Copyright. " Received Aug. 16, 1.20 a.m. London, Aug. 15. The Treaty Powers have refused the Chinese Government’s demand for immediate abrogation of extra-territorial rights, adopting a common attitude. It is stated that it is at present impossible to accede to the request. The Times says the British Note is couched in the friendliest terms. It indicates that his Majesty’s Government is ready to study measures for gradually bringing about the desired results, but regrets that the present condition of the administration of justice in China does not warrant immediate renunciation of extra-territorial rights and the submission of British nationals to Chinese jurisdiction.
