Chinese Imperial Edict Imprisons Railway Concession Adviser

A CHINESE imperial edict directs the imprisonment for life of Wu Shih Chiu, for assisting the Peking syndicate to get the Ho-Nan railway concession. The British minister, Sir Claude McDonald, has sought in vain to mitigate the sentence. The case is regarded as “calling for energetic action, because it is bound to produce a bad effect upon all business between Chinese and foreigners.”
