THE most sensational feature of the new
meanting from Peking which we are enabled to publish to day is the rumour that Prince Tuas who was banished to Man. churis for life a few years ago has assembled troop and is now marching on Peking with viewto dispute the succession. This rumour which reaches us via Canton, must have come by telegram from the North. It is as present unconfirmed from any other source but that trouble is feared over the succession reens to be indicated by the orders to masl the troops near the capital. What force 'Primo Tuan is able to command in Man chuth is not clear, and it is, to say the least extremely doubtful if the exiled Prince would secure much public support, should he turn from banishment to claim the Throse for Lis sen who was proclaimed Heir Apparent in 1898 and deposed twe years later.
