VICTORIA, B. c., Aug, 12.-Jap-
anese advices to July 20, received
tonight by the S. s. Warrimore are
as follows: "Count Inouye has
resumed control Of the Japanese
legation in Corea, difficulties grow
ing out of the strained relations be-
tween his subordinates and jap
anese employees in the Corean pub
lie service, are gradually subsid-
ing. The envoy and his wife were
warmly received at court July %.
1t is thought that Count Inouye
will soon be succeeded by Gen.
Viscount Miura, whose views re-
specting the course to be pursued
by Japan are widely opposed to
those OF the present incumbent.
Miura will be authorized by his
government to adopt a policy of
forbearance and Cancellation in
stead of endeavoring to enforce i'm
mediate submission to Japan's die
tation. No attack upon the strong
positions held by the insurgent
chiefs will be made until it is GER
tain the movement will be irresis-
tible. Meanwhile the Japanese
outposts suffer considerably from
guerilla onslaught. The govern.
ment of Toxic is considering the
question of suspending the civil
administration and a stringent
proclamation has been published
condeming to death all natives
found guilty of aiding or abetting
insurgents.
LII Hung Chang clings to
the belief that the emperor will
soon realize the value OF his great
experience and that his services
will then be considered indespensi-
BILE.
At an Indignation meeting Of
American citizens in Shanghai
July Is, resolutions were passed
calling on the United States gov
eminent to appoint a commission
headed by consular officer of rank
and consisting of Americans pos
sessing a knowledge of Chinese
language and customs to proceed
at the earliest possible moment to
Cheng Tu and thoroughly investi.
gate the causes and fix the re-
sponsibility for the recent riots in
which valuable property was des-
troyed and % American mission
aries and numerous others were
wantonly maltreated. The govern
ment at Washington was also ad-
vised that any money indemnity
was insufficient to meet the de.
mands OF the case and that those
in attendance at the meeting in
sisted upon prompt and adeq uate
punishment Of guilty parties with
out regard to rank or station.
Furthermore, they demanded that |
provision be made for the immedl-
ate return Of the missionaries to |
their stations in the Sza-Chuan |
province, and that their right to |
reside and prosecute their work in |
the interior of China be publicly |
proclaimed in all parts of the en-
pire.
The Japanese government learns |
that reports have been circulated |
in Europe to the effect that a
pecunisry demand has been made
upon China in consequence OF the
retrocession Of Lao Tung Peninsu-
la and adjoining districts and that
the matter is receiving attention
from the Russian authorities.
The report is without foundation.
The first reception Of the new
Japanese envoy at the Chinese
court was distinguished by a de-
parture from conventional prece-
dents which excites much COM
ment in diplomatic circles. The
emperor held audience seated on
the platform to which he ascends
by set Of steps intended for his
exclusive use. When credentials
have hitherto been presented they
have been taken to him by side
stair cases at the right or left of
the center flight. Minister Haya-
shi, however, has been admon.
ished by his government to insist
upon every mark OF respect. He
therefore expressed q strong desire
that his credentials should be con-
veyed to the emperor by the route
for his majesty. and. after
