"Shanghai Mercury" Office,

Shanghai, 5th July, 1805,'

To the Editor of the "China Mafl," SIR-To your inue of the 25th June you published a leading article reflecting on the administration of this paper. You state "There has recently been a dispute between the Times and the Centrai News which, concerna one of our Far Eastern contemporaries intimately, and constitutes a strange commentary on certain blatant trumpet-blowings of the Shanghat Mercury

The gist of your article referred to certain amplifications of telegrams sent to the office of the Central News. These amplifications are acknowledged to have been made in London, It is therefore without the scope of the present communication to attack or defend them.

You, however, by infererce, connected these charges with the Shanghat Mercury. With the telegrams, or their expension, the Shangkat Mercury has not, and had not, any connection: It neither is, nor was at any time, the agent of the Central News. Some of these talegrams, but by no means all, were supplied to the Mercsiry, and as published bere exhibit a different aspect from that presented by them after their arrival in London, Mr. J. D. Clark was, as a fact, the telegraphic correspon dent of the Central News for China ouly, and, wa may atate, had nothing to do with any telegrama passing through to London from Jaan Bar did he ever re-transmit, as stated by you, telegrams from Japanese sources. Mr. Clark is at present absent from Shanghai and has explained through the columes of the Rede Chronicle his position In the affair,

The telegrams published in ibe Mercury were received from our correspondent in Japan by special arrangement, and were not in say exi re-transmitted to London,

Certain telegrame appeared in London with regard to naval operations off Cheloo and the alleged sinking of the Chanyuen. We have already (S. M. April rath) shown that these telegrams did not emanate from the Shanghat Mercury, Referring to certato stories Our Car- respondent telegraphed on the 9'h February :--- "The Chinese men-at-war Chenyuan, Tingyuan and Kwangping are reported to be all right by last advices." On the same day we received from Yokohama news of the destruction the Tingyuen and of damage done to the Chenyuan. On the 13th February our Chefoo correspondent speaks of the safety of the Chen yuze and incidentally refers to the loss of the Tingyuan. On the 25th Jane, just two months later, you state :-" The Central News had no representative anywhere near the spot except a Shanghat Mercury man who was in Cheloo— fifty or sixty miles from Wel-bai-wel.” It la not necessary to allude to the discourtesy of the allaslon further than to say that such discourtesy reflects on the paper giving it circulation. The fact remains that the Central News mide ure other sources of information beyond the cor. respondent of the Shanghat Mercury. That correspondent, along with two others, was me Cheloo because they were forbidden by the authorities under any pretext whatever to leave Cheloo by land. By sea they were an effectively shut in by ice. In one respect their position was more advantageous than that of the journalists with the Japanese forces, inasmuch a the telegraph lines to the front being still open they were able to send whatever news arrived either by telegram from Ninghai or other sources, mainly men-of-war actually watching operations, Immediately to Shanghai, while those with the Japanese army, or on board the hospital ships, had to send it as best they could to Koras or Japan, whence it was transmitted. Our Correspondent,. It may be noted, was newly a

LATEST KORRAN NEWS.

Latest Intelligence from Kores points to collag of the alleged fri ndablp be weca Boku Elko and the Quets. That of course, would mein the decline of Baku's influence in the Government, The Fiji Shimpo says that the following telegrams were received in Toklo on Saturday last

The attempt to displace the guards of the Palace by troops trained under the new systeru has given offence to the King, who indignantly declared that it was an act of disloyalty to change the exisiting regulations and remove Her Majesty's body guards. Premier Boku Telyo thereapon tendered his resignation. On the following day, Bokus iko had and audience. with the King, and his explanations seem to have somewhat soothed the lattee's wrath. The slivation is uncertain,

Of late the relations between the Queen ant Boks Elks are not satisfactory; and the King is ⚫lso inclined to treat him with less consideration.

A crisis le impending in the political altuation,

The telegram does not give the date of the lucident about the Palace Guards, but it must have been a recent occurence,

According to a letter from Seoul, a party ania- gonistic to Japan has arisen in the Korean Ger- emment. This party nominally advocates the study of the Engilah language, but its reai phlet is believed to be opposition to japanese influence. It includes amicitis that have visited efther Europe or America. Baku Biko, who is now belleved to be friendly to Japan, korda the other party which fasists upon the utility of the Japanese language as the medium through which modern civilization must be Imbibed by the Koreans. Es passant, it may be noticed that the schools conducted by Japanese in Seoul are In a prosperous condition," The ex-Minister- President, Kim Koshi, in reported to be effec- Uvely promoting the success of the schools,

The Yomiuri Shimbun's correspondent states that Mr. Sasa Tomofusa, M.P., and Mr. Shiba Shiro, M.P., who had gone to Korea for the special purpose of ascertaining the truth about the alleged combination between Boku Eiko and the Rurilan Minister, onld a visit to the latter on the 15th of June. The following dialogue ti id to have taken place between M. Waeber and bis guests ---

M. Waeber-As your country has had long lotercourse with Kores, the historical relations between the two States Include several unhappy episodes. Is well that you should endeavour to effect reforms la Koren, but there is danger that your filendly intentions may cause bad feelings among the people of the country. Japan would do well to be careful in her work of reform here.

Mr. Sassa-Japan's endeavous to regenerate Korea have received the recognition of the world. I do not know whất Koreans of the lower class may think, but I am sure that all Koreans having the least sense and judgment appreciate the kindly motives of Japan. History proves that, to spile of sus or two unpleasant incidents in their past intercourse, the Japanese ard Korean nations have been oa friendly terms. Whatever feelings of umbrage, may hava remained in Korean minds, are now entirely dissipated. Allow me, therefore, to ask you to exterialo no onesplness on Japan's account.

Mr Shiba-The latest newspapers fram Europe contains a statement that your country intends to acquire in the East & port open during all seasons of the year. May I ask you whether there is any truth in that report?

Mr. Walber--There is no truth in thát, Such statements may perhaps be found in English
