HONGKONG, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1884,

In spite of the active preparations för war being made by the Chinese, and notwithstanding that French demande bare most probably been rejected within The hst few days, our opinion still is chats pescaful solution of the difficulty will be reached. It is the habit of the Close to hold out to the last moment and then to give way. No doubt also the Frepth are willing to moiterate their original demands considerably Nether country can possibly wish to fight; each world no doubt gladly arrange a cattle. ment of the dithealty, and this is the best guarantee that hostilities will not ensis. Our idea is char negotiations for peace are at the present moment în pro-"; gress at Shanghui, te ultimatum of the Frach being held in abeyance until their conclusion, and we anticipate that These negotiations will have

will have a peaceful

There are special reasons for our com ing to this conclusion. Late last night, we believe, a telepruto was received here.. from most frustworthy souces ut Shang. kai stating: Pacific arrangement prob ables, Chino Alorchinte. Compsor will. resuns ruoning their stemmers. Again, yesterday felegram was received from | Lyons, in France, reading: "My impresy sion is that Chinese difficulties will be amicably settled! A private telegram readved from Foochow yesterday stated that great nuensi ngas was felt there as to the security of property in the event of boslities and, in remord to the special degates from Foochów, published in azaher volumn, it should be pointed pittut news of the general situa tion received from that port is not likely to be slate and reliabla - as information cabled from Shong- hai, which is npparently the locus of the negotiations. Ilie local news telegraph all by our correspondent at Foochow is, se lave every reason to believe, per- fectly accurate; it has been corroborated by official desjatelies received hore today, but his news of the ailuation generally must necessailly have been based on information cabled down from Shanghul, from which port we have res celved direct and Bore recent despatches.
