Picking. Yuan Shi Kai. the last prop
of the throne. has reached Peking at
troops and was warmly greeted by the
administration.
In honor of his arrival, an edict was
issued appointing him commander of
all the troops in the vicinity of the
capital,
Great efforts are being made to in
duce him to accept the premiership,
but he has given no definite answer.
The government continues gather
ing Manchu recruits at Picking, but
soon will be unable to meet the pay
ments.
1t is not believed here that the
Chinese can mobilize a large enough
army about Peking to venture an at
tack. but the governments inability
to collect revenues from a single pro-
vincial capital is almost certain to
bring about capitulation.
The opinion is held at the lega-
tions that there are serious complioa-
tfons in store for China and greater
sufferings than she has yet endured.
The prospects of foreign interven-
tion by other powers than Russia and
Japan are beginning to be discussed.
Winter is expected to terminate the
massed movements of troops. but
there will be greater death rolls

there, he says. has placed himself in
a bad light The commissioners of
that county authorized the naming of
deputy to assist the treasurer in
his work But the public examiner
says he has discovered that the treas
urer did not name any such deputy,
instead drawing the salary of 5000 for
himself This is but one of the ir-
regularities the examiner says have
existed in the county. and to which
he has called the attention of the dis
trict attorney. Some counties where
the examiner has. declared irregulari-
ties exist have taken no action to
punish the officers complained of, the
state officer stating that such failure
is due to the refusal or unwillingness
of district attorneys to begin prosecu-
