LONDON, Sept. l6.-The Foreign Of
fee has written q letter to the Chamber
OF Commerce at Glasgow stating that the
British Consul at Shanghai had formally
advised the Chinese authorities that it
would be to the interests OF commerce to
reconsider the contemplated blockading
Of the river at that point.
A Times correspondent telegraphs:
Five OF the French vessels have returned
to Matson. Great indignation is felt at
the death OF the Lieutenant Of the
Zephyr. The French are more severely
cohsdred than the Chinese Meetings
are being convened to urge mediation.
Complications are occurring daily which
are certain to involve neutral powers.
The correspondent comments ON the
weakness Of the armament OF the Eng
lish fleet compared with the French
squadron. The French. he says, can fire
eight guns to The English one, and the
crews number five to one. England, he
concludes, whose interests in China are
eight per cent OF all the foreigners there,
is the only power not making prepara-
tions for possible war.
