The War Feeling In China.
IIoSG KONG May II, via SAN FRANCISCO,
June 6.-The latest caprice of the Chincss
government respecting Chung How point,
to his respite aud degradation to low rank,
with opportunities OF a gradual rise to renewed
power. The anti.foreign leaders at Pelin con.
tinue boisterous in their defiance of Russia
and threaten war in cnse of the failure of
Tsene'5 negotiations for tho unconditional
rendition of Iii. Tho war party was never
stronger than at this moment. Prcparat lion
is imperfect; the Chinese style is pursued
everywhere, Careful observers, nevertheless
doubt tho power Of the minority of the gov.
crnment faction to throw the country into
war against the wish and Judgment Of states
men like Prince Kuns aud Ii Hung Chang.
There is considerable activity in Russian
ports for accommodation and supply. Min
lister Seward is unexpectedly visiting, g,Shanghai.
Commodore shursld?s Mission.
YOKOHAMA, May 23-Tho United States
ship TirOndoroga will return presently TO
Corca. Her exact intentions hayo not boon
revealed, but probably she will renew tho
attempt to negotiate Mt some point nearer tho
capital Of Zoul than Tusna tho port visited
May A. Tho Japanese government does not
officially co'ouerate with ShuCeldt's mission,
though its agent in COrea is informally u-
structcd to show the American visitors every
attention. Tho trade returns of Japan aud
Corca for the half year ending December.
1879, show tho worthlessncss of commercial
relations with that kingdom. Corea exports
$4,000 and imports from all sources through
Japan $4,000. Not one single American
commodity was imported.

coma and General Mejia were present. 1t is

opposition elements on General Meja.
Tho Simons or Central Railroad company,
having their concession secured by official &C.
ton for the road TO the city of Leon, have
commenced work with 500 laborers. The
privilege Of branching TO the Pacific and tho

self to be without jurisdiction upon the Ques-
tion, Governor Feran not having violated the

anco.
