CHICAGO. September 3d.-A Washington
correspondent Gays Lieutenant Stopey has
reached st. Michaers. Alaska, on his way to
ST. Lawrence Bsy with he euus and amnu-
milton presented by the Government to the
Indians there, in testimony Of the appreoi-
alton of their humane treatment of the c-ew
Of the burned Rodgers. But the Alaska
traders are raising such hue aud cry about
the supplying of arms 70 savages in the Sibe.
risn Strait, that the Lieutenant has reported
the facts and is awaiting further Instructions.
Traders complain that tie Indians at st.
Lawrence BsY will sell their weapons to the
Indians at Cape Prince of Wales. and finally
arms will reach the Indians about Sc. Mich
aels, and ell the traders will be rl0ssacred.
The Lieutenant thinks that the st. Lawrence
Bay Indians will be anxious to hold on to
their guns when they get them, but that even
if they did trade them eff, the probability Of

The FrancG-Chinese Trouble.
NEW YoRK, September 81. "A CORE
spondent from dOngkcng writes to the Herald
on the Fraoco-Chinese war. He Gays THE
two powers who can ceerce China are Russia
and Englsnd R1seia could march without
much difficulty en- FekiD. TBis much would
not hurt trade SO Esglaud would not inter
fere. England could march TO tie Ts- Kisng
ard Pekin, and no one would object, fer she
would occupy the treaty ports. But if
France tried to do so England would object.
Thus it is that China will only listen to Ras-
sia and Eaglaud."
The C8Tean Embassy.
NEw YORK, September 3l-The Times
says: The Corean Embassy now on i;s way
to this country is the frat ever cent from the
hermit nation to an Eastern country. The

resided for many yeals in Toxic, Japan. His
house was q museum CT precious and curious
specimens of the ceramic art, paintings,
lacquer work and bropzss. Nov that these
marvels are to be transferred to Washington,
we shall have one Of the fuest collections of
ornsm entsl bFic-a-brac 20 be found, and jour
dams bachelor hall will DO doubt be the Mecca
Of many estheiic pilgrims. The Embassy has
vet TO select its residence. snd wherever the
choice falls, they will possibly act very
strange st first. When visiting the Japanese
capital, the Coreans kept themselves zsalously
secluded, and erlivezel the voluntary i'm
prisonment by endless repetitions Of monot-
onous national music. Our visitors will
probably leave their loose garments, their
fisrce boards and their herns and tom-toms at
home. Otherwise, the American small boy
is pretty su-e to make their lie here as un-
cougenial as Minister Foo.e fnds his resi-.
dence in Corea.
