Another significant item was contained in the report of a traveller who has just arrived in Peking from Mukden. He say that between the town of Chingehow and Shaghaikwao his train passed many other trains, sometimes two or three on n siding landed with mules and grain. It was dis

In the meantime says a Peking corres
in the opposition among certain
in the lower House of Parliament has not been dropped; on the contrary. the bill of impeachment against Mr. Wang has been passed by the Special Committer, the latter having instructed the chairman to place the matter before the House at the first opportunity. The chief ground for complaint against Mr. Wang, aside from the gold frane issue. is that he sought to issue a considerable sum in treasury notes without consulting Parlia rent or asking the latter's approval.
Mr. Lin Shih-chung reporting on his investigations of documents in the sainis tries of Finance and Foreign Affairs said among other things found were docu- ments relating to the issuance of treasury hilla amounting to 83,000,000 to pay the Diplomatic and Consular representatives abroad. This matter be said was passed by the Cabinet without referring it to the Parliament for approval and consequent ly it was illegal.
Some of the members proposed that bills be returned against all the members of the Cabinet since all had taken a part in the issuance of the notes. This, however, did not pas and it was decided that inasmuch as the Minister of Finance issued the notes knowing they had not been approved by Parliament, the bill against him should be presented at the next regular session of the House.
