which threatened the stability Of the

provincial military governors totalling
seven million taels. Such heavy re-
mittsnces from the provinces are un-
precedented.
The provincial funds are sufficient to
pay the police and soldiers three
months wages, thereby averting the
threatened looting Of the capital, but
will not provide for the civil admnistra-
tion. High civil officials are supporting
