WAR WITH CHINA.

A Washington special to the Now York Post says: “The outlook for a war with China is now regarded in naval circles as not unfavorable. It is believed that the Emperor will resent the conclusion arrived at by the Supreme Court, and wilt issue a decree enforcing strict rules against the entry of any more Americans into China and probably ordering the removal of our missionaries out of his territory under pain of forcible deportation. Meanwhile there is danger of Insurrections of Chinese against the white immigrants which the imperial authorities will not be able to check. Those, taken together with the outbreaks which the attempts to enforce the Geary law on our west coast will bring about, it is thought will putthe two nations on such a footing as to make war inevitable. The decision is a great blow to the Chinese legation here, where it has been hoped down to the last moment that the act would be declared unconstitutional. ’
