Powers Protest To China.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 29, 1912:
Say the Salt Revenues Are Earmarked for the Boxer Indemnity.
    PEKING, Oct. 28.— The diplomatic representatives of eleven countries at a meeting to-day decided to protest against the alienation by China of the salt revenues while the Boxer indemnity remains unpaid.
    They will protest also against China's contention that she is justified in hypothecating the salt revenues in excess of 12,000,000 taels, (about $8,000,000,) which was their amount when pledged for the payment of the indemnity.
