Preparations are being made for an i'm
pressive inaugural ceremony on the oc-
casion of the restoration of Marking
as the capital of China. Dr. Sun Vat
Sen, on his arrival there, probably will
issue a proclamation and hold a review
of several thousand troops.
The garrison has been heavily re-en-
forced
Within the last few days wholesale
queue cutting has been going on
throughout Marking, the soldiers indis
criminately shearing merchants and
coolies The cutting has been accom-
plished generally in spirit of good
nature, but in many cases pitiful scenes
have occurred. Otherwise, Marking is
quite orderly.
A strong central government is to be
organized with a parliament of repre-
sentatives of the people. Each prov
ince will elect its own governor. Both
army and navy will be national and.
together with the finances. will be con
troHed by parliament. The fiscal sys-
tenn will be readjusted on modern meth
DDS, and intercommunication by rail
ways will be pushed on as rapidly as
possible.

The imperialists are endeavoring to
delay matters, hoping that time will
favor them. The rebels seem DESTROYS
of forcing the issue, but neither side
is willing to terminate negotiations

Herald from its Picking correspondent,

present to the throne signed demand
of all the commanders of the northern
army that the wealth of the princes
and mobiles be commandeered to con
time the war. The memorial charac-
terizes the dictatorial attitude of the
revolutionists as unbearable, pledges
loyalty to the monarchy, and a desire
to fight the issue to a finish
