China and Japan.
Latos, New. from the Far on Lands.

SAN FRANcIsCo, Nov 29.-Special steamer
Alaska, from Hong Kong, October Goth, and
Yokohama Nov. Sd, arrived this morning.
At Yokohama there was much comment by
foreigners and Japanese upon the action of the
American government in abandoning the expo.
ditiou to Corea. This action was considered
detrimental to our national honor, and highly
prejudCial to the interests Of foreigners, both in
China and Japan. The naval demonstration
against Corea should never have been under
taken, unless the American people were pre-
pared to carry out their intention.
1t is rumored that the Coreans made an attack
upon the Japan island ofTsysima, lying between
Nagasaki and Corea, it being claimed as Corcan
territory.
The ambassadors to China have returned to
Yeddo. Ii is said they brought no treaty. China
wanted a treaty of alliance, defensive and
offensive, which Japan was hardly in condition
to accede
There are serious troubles in the southern dis
tricts of JAPAN in consequence of the govern
ment edict abrogatng the position Of the
diamios and absorbing their territories and Civ
ing nothing in return
Rice was never more plentiful and the govern
ment is called upon to export the surplus and
supply the Saigon market, where the crops en-
trelY failed.

THE CHICAGO FIRE.

The losses arc now said to be about Ole hun
lrrd and twenty. five millions, and perhaps less
All the Chicago Insurance Companies are
bankrupt but it is believed that outside Of
them, the assurances will cover onc-hali the
loss, and that they will pay. Such WAS the
view taken at meeting Of the Chicago MGR
chants yesterday afternoon. \ number of COM
panics, probably nine or ten, have, however,
gone down, and there are rumors that others
will be forced to follow their example.
The total loss in grain is now definitely as
certained to be 100000 bushels. -Four YES.
sells were loaded with grain for the East yes
teriay, and the Eastern movement will con-
tinue, as there arc fully 5000: 600 bushels now
in store.
Forty one persons were shot in making ar
rests. The Station Houses arc filled with prls-
ouers. The number Of bodies recovered from
the ruins has now reached ninety.
The condition Of the homeless, starving poo
pie, driven out to bivouac on the bleak
rrairie, was terrible, and many persisted from
the exposure.
Merchants are casting about them for sites
for Il new start in business, sending East TO
ascertain what accommodation they can Oh
tain for purchases, and looking Tor railroad
facilities to bring to them the stock Tor IN
early resumption OF trade.
Immense quantities Of provisions have al
rived, mauy carloads being cooked and ready
redistribution The committee has telegraph
ed to several places to stop sending more at
present. Twenty carloads of provisions and
ten thousand blankets have come from Cincin-
natl, and twenty carloads from St. Louis.
4 careful calculation made BY the under
writer's in New York Of the total amount writ
ten on the property destroyed at Chicago shows
that it will reach about SAC, 100000, from
which 10 to 90 per cent. must be deducted for
salvage.
Large amounts Of money arc coming in from
all quarters, for the relief Of the sufferers.
