expenses in connection with the change of Szechuen, etc. The rumour that the loan is intended to be applied towards the Kuo-ti was categorically denied; but we observe that certain Press correspondents continue gedulously to propagate the fiction with the object of discrediting the bond fide, of the Chinese Govern
ment.
