FrancO-G hIneSe Difficulty.
PARIS, Nov. =. 1t is reported that the
First Secretary of the Chinese Legation
stated that war between China and
council discnssed General Bouett's ac-
count of the French position on the Red
river, and the measures which it is ad,
visable to adopt for strengthening Their
position, and the question of the amount
of funds which may be necessary to
bring the campaign to il successful issue
Nothing was definitely decided. The
Chamber of Deputies Will probably be
asked to vote a new credit
General Bouett states that at least ten
thousand men of all arms, infantry ,caval.
ry and artillery, will be required, especial,
ly cavalry, because the movements of the
Black Flags are very rapid.
AFcver stricken ship.
San Francisco, Oct. 3l.-The Pacific
Mail Companys steamer San Bias ar
rived this morning from Panama. She
brought three cases of yellow fever, John
Murphy.a cabin passenger,of New York;
Francisco Perex, of Acapulco, and the
$ teamer's cook. The two last are report
ed as dying. Murphy is recovering.
The vessel failed to fly yellow flag, the
surgeon being ignogrant that the sick
ness was yellow fever. On the way up
the steamer stopped at Acapulco, MaZat-
len and San Bias. No communication
raging there. At Mazatlan she took 3a
passengers aud got d clean bill of health.
The first case developed after leaving
Acapulco The we'll passengers were
transferred to the steamer China, the
sick ones to the floating hospital. -.
Cotton Brokers Failures.
LONDON, Oct. 3l.rA Liverpool dis
patch says that Morris Rangers failure
may bring down dozen or more
Liverpool firms. This is probably exag-
gerated 1t is said New York will be
affected to the extent of elO0,0OU. In
the meantime the cotton business is en-
tirely suspended, merchants and brok-
ers awaiting developments.
The Times says r. H. Foreman & Co.'S
liabilities are estimated at E3O0,000. II
is understood that Morris Rangers liza,
biIities, in Liverpool are tolerably well
divided among cotton brokers. 1t is
hoped generally that he will be able to
meet his liabilities. Rangers failure il
attributed to the American system oi
dealing in futures without the American
system of protection scared to deposit
margins. 1t Is generally hoped the latter
system will be introduced in England.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 81, p. M--The ex
citement in the cotton trade continues
