FRANCE AND CHINA,
NJ. Bourree Declares There Will Be No War
Between the Two Nations.

Interview in New York Tribune.
What have l to say concerning the pres
ent relations existing between France and
China% said NJ. Bourree. why, very little,
indeed, and that not of a kind to excite YOU.
There will be no lighting between France
and China over the Tonquin affair. OF that
you may rest assured. l cannot tell you, nor
any one but my government, of the precise
results OF my mission, but l have no obiec-
ton to say that, neither nation desiring such
thing, there will be no war. France has
not and never did have, any desire to send
troops to Tonquin but, as all the world
knows, she is powerful and spirited enough
to do so, and with effect too if she finds her
treaty rights disregarded. But the Chinese
government now evinces no desire to disregard
these rights and, therefore, have given my
opinion that there will be no war. 1t is
merely an expression OF individual opinion,
and you must take it for what it is worth.
The positions taken by Lii Hung Chang and
the Marquis Tseng are vastly more moderate
than they were five or six weeks ago, and
there could be no better augury of contin-
uance of peace than that"
I'm the event of a rupture between your
country and China, do you think that it
would be serious business"
L w. Lie OulIleSe are luCn stronger
than is generally supposed. They are neither
so wretchedly drilled nor armed as the cor
respondents of European and American
newspapers would have us believe while as
to their numerical strength it can scarcely
be exaggerated. But none the less, | think
that ii the necessity arose France could in
fict summary punishment on them. In the
interest of that country itself q crushing de-
feat of China is desirable. The preposterous
arrogance of the Chinese in their dealings
with other nations is thing to marvel at
have often been at loss to account for the
extreme liberation shown by other nations
toward the Chinese, and [ believe that it has
fostered in them the mean opinion they hold
of every race except the Mongolian."
DO you think that Great Britain and Ger
many in the interest of their trade with
China, have been working to secure the
peaceful settlement of the Tonquin dispute?'
asked the reporter.
Pardon me, but your suggestion is too
close for me to answer. Possibly so. But
can say nothing on that matter. Certainly
the influence of England is all on the side OF
a peaceful settlement of the trouble, but do
not suppose that her expressions on the mat
ter have gone further than from London to
Paris Germany cannot possibly have any
thing to say in the matter and were Bis
marck to address France on such a subject
have no doubt but that she would promptly
refer him to his own affairs The trouble
between France and China is concerning a
question of treaty rights with which no other
European country is concerned. l believe it
is in q fair way to be settled without the
dread arbitrament of war"

CHANGE OF SCuEDULEs.-It is stated
that changes will soon be made in the
schedules Of the Charlotte, Columbia
q Augusta Railroad, by which the day
passenger trains will be discontinued
and these trains be run at night. Ac-
cording to q statement made in the
Charlotte Observer, we judge that tho
northcrn-bound train will pass Winns-
boro about 1.30, ii. m., and tho south
'crn-bound about 3.45, a. III. This
change will work great inconvenience
along the whole line. Not ONLY are
these most unearthly hours for people
to leave or arrive, but the mails will
thus be delayed at least twelve hours
in delivery. The city papers, Char
lotte, Columbia and Charleston-will
reach here the day after publication
The change, wo understand, takes
place Oh all the roads, beginning at
Washington, and we presume there
are good reasons for it. Wo wish il
could be avoided.
