LONDON, Sept. 0. !
The Times Paris correspondent says:
Both Governments, France and China. are
equally DESTROYS of seeing peaceful solution
of the Tonquin question, if it can be eff
fected with honor. The general sentiment
favors the hope that all the issues involved
may be admi tied to the arbitration of En-
gland.
The National announces that France Ids
consented to negotiate with China for treaty
in settlement of the Tonquin question which
shall be based upon that concluded by
Nicolas Prosper Bouree with the Porte in
1868. That treaty provided that the Gov
eminent Of France should have the right to
acquire property in the Ottoman Empire, in
return for which France should aid the
Porte against inroads from. strangers.
The London NelOS prints an interview
with Marquis Tseng. He declared the
movements of the Chinese troops had been
misrepreSented, and only necessary precau-
tons had been taken TO secure the frontier
Many Chinese, he said had joined the
black flags but China had no solidarity
with the latter China was unable tol
nounce her suZeTainty over Anam, but did
not wish to make it more pronounced than
hitherto. She would be satisfied with the
status quo ante. The Marquis was unable
to say whether China would recognize the
Hue treaty, as he was ignorant of the
terms thereof and of the person who
signed it,

| FOREIGNERS LOSING THEIR PRESTIGE.
| LONDON, Sept. 9.
| The Standards Hong Kong special says:
| The absence of the British fleet at the pres
| ent time from China waters eXcites the

! dents there and at all other Chinese ports, as
the relations between the Europeans and
| the natives throughout China have altogeth-
| er changed since the opening of the French
| policy of aggression in TonQuin. Recent
| nf fitn haN
materially damaged the prestige of all for
