The news we published yesterday from ur correspondent in Tokyo that PRESIDENT YUAN-SHIH-KAL, after causing the headquarters of the Kuomingtang, or Opposition parts, to be raided, bad pro- claimed the dissolution of the Party, is a confirmed by Reuter's Correspondent, in Peking, who adds the information that the seate of the members of this Party in the Houses of Parliament between 300 or 400 in number, we believe-have been cancelled. That means that about half the seals in each Chamber must be vacated. The rea- son given for this despotic action is that the Party is in communication with the men who took a leading part in the late revolu. stion and who are now fugitives, most ofthem living under the protection of the Japanese flag. Apart from its flagrantly uncou stilational character,"
