Anna Dickinson, lecturer and actress. She
feared that she had been recognized at the

FRANCE AND CHINA.
Admiral C0urhet Fixes ihe Date for
Attacking SOntay.
4 Pymor From Fars That He Has Advis d
the French Government TO Declare
War Upon China a-AGraYe
Gull ok.

PRS, November IS 1t is asserted here
that Admiral Courbet, who is in command
of the French forces in Tonquin, has ad-
vised the French Government to declare
war with China, and that the Government
has transmitted orders to the Admiral to
act in accordance with
TIE Requiremeis or the Situation.
The correspondent Of the Exchange Tele-
graph Company at Paris declares that the
sensational reports of breach OF friendly
relations between France and China, and
of the reinforcement of the French squad
ron in Tonquin, are without foundation.
The last dispatch received by the govern
ment from Admiral Courbet, dated Novem-
Der ), announced the arrival OF the trans
ports Aveyron and Shamrock. He expected
the transports Bienhoa and Tonquin TO ar
rive OIL the 10th, and stated lhat he would
alta, SCDtay between the 10th and 10Th
inst.
COurbet's Defeat RumOred.
1t is reported on the Bourse that Admiral
Courbet has been defeated in Tonquin. The
France processes to have similar news. The
Lib-rte positively contradicts the report
II is generally believed, however, that the
French forces have commenced their ad-
vance. A nan has been arrested on the
BOurse on charge Of spreading "aiarmis!'
news.
The committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties which is considering a reso!ut.J
authorizing the granting of credits for
The Expenses of the TODquin CAM
paign
is favorably inclined to the principle OF
credits, but desires that the Government
shall give complete explanation OF the
subject.
The Gaulois estimates the French forces
now in Tonquin at $1,000 men, including
soldiers and sailors, or 1000 above the tig-
ures given by the Minister of Marine.
The Temps says that if the Tonquin
credits already asked for should prove to
be insufficient the Chamber will be pre-.
par, to vote more.
A dispatch from Shanghai says tbs stated
that Chinese troops are being concentrated
At Canton, in order to keep back the Black
Flags when the
French Drive Them from Tonquin.
A member of the Chamber OF Deputies
states that Admiral Courbet's position in
Touquin is critical, and that Admiral Pey'
ron, minister of marine, proposes to de-
fend hin by blockading Canton. But this
would involve the sending OF formal mott
fca.ion of the blockade to the maritime
powers, and therefore a declaration OF war
against China-a step from which the
Chamber shrinks.

WARRINGTON, November lS-General
Butler thinks Mr.. Cox ought to be elected
Speaker. This afternoon he visited Mr..
Cox's headquarters at Willard's, and his
sll-peryading presence made Mr.. CoI's
canvass seem like very tangible thing,
feature il has not heretofore noticeably
possessed; for despite Mr.. Cox's earnest
ness, and that OF General Slocum, Congress
man Hill, and two or three others, there
Las been feeling that there has been
More of Desire than Of Expectation
in his canvass. But General But.
ler, who seems 10 know everything,
is reported as saying that Mr.. CoX'S
canoidacy is favored by Democrats, and
that il is as promising as that Of any one
else. Mr. Carlisle thinks that Mr.. Cox
will get a very handsome vote on the first
ballot, but that as balloting goes on Mr..
Cox's friends will leave him. Mr.. Carlisle
expects to get fair proportion OF Mr..
Cox's vote. On tie other hand, Mr. Ran
dalls friends here say that the bulk OF Mr.
COxs vote will 90 to Mr.. Randall This
parCelling out OF MS strength by the other
CanCiGates does not please Mr. Cox, and
be intimates that il will be found that
if there is any parceiling ont Of
votes his will be the benefit thereof.
He is Very Busy Man.
His mail is heavy md his
friends seem to be many. His par
iors at Willsrd's are throng.d, and when
be is not in them he may be seen dashing
about town in a coup hunting up recent
arrivals. Mr.. Cox gives no figures. but his
friends say that he will surprise the caucus
l., h.,, ~, tba al
ballot. As. MIR. Car.isle's friends claim
ninety at least on the same ballot, it will
be seen that Cox and Carlisle together
leave Mr.. Randall only forty votes on that
same ballot. On the other hand, those
who have made very careful estimates say
that Randall will havr over eighty votes
on the first ballot and in the second
enough 10 elect.
The fact is that the canvass has not de
veloped enough 10
Justify Any Positive Assertions.
The impression Of Republican politicians
who are here is that Mr.. Rsndalls election
is assured. Mr.. Randall has not yet ar
rived. and may not be here until Monday.
Mr.. Springer arrives tonight, and will
at once begin a canvass. lie will start in
with the vote of Illinois, but his candidacy
is not likely to make any serious
inroads into the strength or the
other candidates. The canvass has
begun on temperance principles.
A Speakership canvass used to be a glori-
GUS opportunity for him that bad no money
to buy drinks. Both MIR. Carlisle and Mr..
Cox have bsnished the sdeboard, and Mr..

Congressional Action,
WASHINGTON. November Is Secretary
Chandler returned to the Capital at Il late
hour last night. When asked this morn
ing as TO what action he would take in car.
rying out the programme for changing the
standard Of time on the 18th, he said the
matter was one of importance, and he
would have to consider it. Tonight he
announced that in view of the letter Of OBJ
lection from the ney-General, he did
not consider it within his discretion to
make the contemplated change, and
therefore he had ordered the officer in
charge of the Signal Office ohserv-
atory to drop the ball as usual on ana
after the 18th. There would, he said, be
no change in the Distric, OF Columbia un
til Congress had adopted the necessary
legislation.
il is feared the Secretsry's action in this
matter will result in much confusion, and
possibly in serious damage in some in
stances, This is made the more probable
by the fact that all the railroads running
into Washington and the watchmakers.
Jewellers and other timekeepers here will
make the changes; time pieces in the Gov.
ernment offices will be run on the old sys.
