SAN FRANCISCO, August 5, 1876
The mail steamship City of Pektng. from China
via Japan, brings Hong Kong dates to July 10 and
Shanghai to the 9th. There had been renewed
assaults upon foreigners in Peking.
GERMAN OFFICIAL ASSAULTED.
The last attack was made on an attache OF the
German Legation, who, while on a scientific ex-
petition with some companions forty miles from
the capital, was severely beaten and robbed OF
valuable astronomical instruments.
CoNsTITUTIoNALIsM IN JAPAN
The dates from Yokohama, Japan, are to the
Istn OF July.
The Assembly OF Provincial O1lcers closed its
session July II. The subjects debated were the
organization Of national police force, the i'm
provement OF roads and bridges and the estab-
ushment Of popular House OF Representatives.
The first two were satisfactorily adjusted and
the third left open for further consideration.
SILK WORMS EGGS.
The silk worm egg producers, VINO lost heavily

limit the number this year to 1,50o, 900.
RELATIONS TO CoREA.
The negotiations with Cores have suddenly as
sumed less friendly character tnan before, and
many Japanese officials have been recalled from

prevalent but thus far there has been no such de-
Cision by the Japanese government.

TITUsvILLE, Pa August s, 1875.
The crude petroleum districts OF Pennsylvania
are evidently on the eve Of crisis, ana discon-
tent reigns supreme, both among the producers OF
oil, the tankers, and more particularly the working
classes. bull movement was commenced in Feb

ninety days. which proved only partially success

more than 1000 barrels day, while the stock in
creased at rapid ratio. Notwithstanding this face,

ever, could only be maintained for a short time,
ana the price has been going down ever since,
the stocks nearly double what they were
last october. The production does not la short
OF 90 000 barrels DAY, and the number OF drilling
wells exceed those or August, 1874. The export
Tor this year Is nearly over and the trade for the
pIethoric and the stock OF refined for home con-
sumption is fifty per cent greater tnan it last
year. Again the working classes are being thrown
out OF employ ment and conspiracy 10 destroy
the oil is claimed to be deep and widely rami-
led. Even the holders OF oil themselves assert
the remaining hal would be more valuable than

upon the conspirators. Among other contingent

that onethird hopelessly lost and the remaining
two-thlrds partially damaged, though it is be-
lieved the damage will be much less than is gener-
ally expected. The acreage OF wheat sown was

larger than last year, ana the prospects before
