The Peking correspondent of the China Press, in a telegraphie summary of an interview with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, says: The conversation then turned on the situation in Manchuria and Mongolia. Dr. Sun believes it is utterly hopeless for Chine to ondeavour now to combat the aggression, China being helpless, but will wait some years, when China will be stronger and then
can recover the territory. He said if these four hundred By suillions could not do this in another generation, thon they did not deserve being preserved as a nation. He did not seem to have much faith in any assistance from the world in struggling against loss of turritory.

CONSPIRATOR
It has been freely stated of late in the vernacular Press that General Huang Hsing, who was to have gone to Peking with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and backed out at the last moment, was associated in the ecnspiracy which led to the execution of two other Generals at Peking. 1 is said that his refusal to go to Peking was due to information that the authorities had obtained possession of certain docu- ments which disclosed his association with the plot. We observe that General Huang has sent the following telegram to the President on the subject
