China, il could not possibly be kept
secret. Up to this date 1t is certain
that nothing more eerious than inde-
cieive skirmishes have taken place.
Japanese govern ment securities have
declined from to 10 per cent since the
beginning OF the war.
The Chinese general in command near
Phyeng Yang has followed the exsmple
OF the Kisng Nan arsenal director, and
offered rewards for the capture or prcoi
OF death OF Japanese soldiers. These
promises have stimulated the Corean
peasantry, who give outlying Japanese
Quards and scouts much annoyance.
Less than 40 Europeans and Ameri-
cans remain in Corsa, apart from the
guards at the legations in Seoul. Before
the war 1000 email Japanese merchants
and about 700 Chinese resided at the
open ports. Tho Chinese have mostly
disappeared and the Japanese ere wait
ing for later developments.
The foreign department Of Japan has
this day given notice that duly accr 3D.
tied newspaper correspondents may
hereafter accompany the military forces
OF the empire, and will receive all the
consideration that can reasonably be
given by commanders.
The murder of two missionaries by
Chinese has been followed by the assas-
sination OF the French customs officer
ON the frontier OF Tonquin. These acts
of violence are greatly embarrassing to
the Pekin authorities, at the present
time, and it is announced that repara-
ton will be offered in the case OF Rev.
Mr.. Wylie BY executing his ASSISTANTS,
rebuilding the wrecked chapel aud pay
ing sum Of money to the family OF the
victim.
English newspapers in Shanghai state
that the unprecedented step will be
taken OF expressing regret in an impe-
rial edict-a form OF atonement which
assursdly would never have been vouch-
eafed in less troublous times. AS regards
the outrages on Frenchmen, ships Of
war OF that nation will demand repara-
tion.
The work of strengthening the de-
fenses along the Chinese coast is con-
tinued mainly by posting floating bat.
teries at points OF supposed danger. The
gsrrisons in Formosa have been further
reinforced.
Japanese newspapers announce. ap,
parently by authority, that the spplica-
tions for war bonds already exceed the
total amount OF the loan.
The trophies captured by the Japanese
at Soong Hwan and Asan will soon be
exhibited in Toxic. Among them ia an
unfinished letter written BY the Chinese
General Yeh. which was found in his
tent, and which was apparently intended
for his supsriors at Tien Tsin. The fol-
lowing quotations hsve been published;
Japanese soldiers are all weak and
useless. They cannot march in one day
half the distance of our troops. Their
only reliance ia on their mines. To at
tack the army at Seoul, our ships should
block the harbor of Jinsen while we ad-
vance from Asan. Thus hemmed in,
they will surrender without fighting"

parliament may be divided on some
questions of international policy, all
parties, including those usually against
the government, will uphold the war
which the mikado has precipitated since
the last parliament dissolution. Up to
that time the Liberals and Radicals abou;

of which is with the United States, By
which foreigners exercise extra terrific

clamored for the immediate abrogatioI

would not go this far, saying it woul
