There are grounds, alan for suspecting that the Germans financed, if indeed they did not netually instigate the demonstration which took place out- side of Peking on May 14th and was promptly represented as having been or ganised by TUAN CHI-JUI for the purpose of intimidating Parliament.

There is, no doubt, how ever, that had CHANG HSUN succeeded in his desperate adventure he would not have been long in discovering some pre- text for resuming friendly relations with Germany. Indeed, it is suggested by the North-China Daily News, which has been at some pains to investigate the subject, that it was in the hope of being called to Peking as acting Minister for Germany that Herr KNIPING, the Consul-General in Shanghai, conveniently fell ill when he was due to leave with his colleagues by the Prinzes Juliana. without significance that when CHANG HSUN realised his forlorn position he sought asylum at the Dutch Legation. which is in charge of German interests, and was escorted thither by members of

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN CHINA
THERE is undeniable proofs we are told, that CHANG HOUs, the King-maker, was
hireling of the Germans.
After the
many plots which Germany has been found guilty of engineering in all parts. of the world with the object of creating diversions in her favour, it required no great gift of prescience to foresee that she would not neglect any opportunity of employing similar devices in Chine. Directly the Restoration of the Manchu dynasty was announced, our Tientsin Correspondent stated, in a telegraphic moskage, that a prominent ex-Minister asserted that the Germans were at the bottom of the trouble, and, in support of this opinion, it was mentioned that three men who were very closely associat ed with the Monarchist coup were known to have been intimate with Admiral VON HINTZE, the ex-German Minister, before: the rupture of diplomatic relations between China and Germany obliged that official to see some other sphere for bin
