LONDON, Sept. Ga private letter from
Pekin says Ii Hung Chang il really in favor
OF a peaceful solution Of the difficulty with
France while the intrguers who surround
the court are urgent in their cry for war.
Prince Kunc one OF the conservative mem
bers OF the government, expressed the
opinion that war will be the signal for a
number OF outbreaks in the Empire. The
Empress IL reported to be even fearful for
the permanence OF the dynasty, and in
clined TO favor such measures rs shall Sc
cure peace.
The standards Hong Kong special SAYS:
"rhe people Of China seem TO have
little fear Of the result Of the war
with France, and believe that
with their new ornaments and
vastly improved discipline their forces are
far better able to cope with a foreign enemy
Z than they were in the war Of 1860. A Chi
nese paper urges that immediate action
be taken to prevent the annexation by the
French OF any portion Of Chinese territory
and expresses Indignation that such an at
tempt should be made at time when China
was at peace with France A large num-
Der Of Chinese employed on board French
vessels deserted. The captains find great
difficulty IN obtaining hands.
The Times points out that In the event Of
war Americans, Germans, japanese and
even Chinese themselves would secure more
OF foreign and coasting trade in the East
than the French.
