Princes Ching and Su and Viceroy Yuan Shih- kai had from the first felt convinced that the indiscriminate wiping out process advocated by the Anhui and Chakiang authorities, and acted upon by some of them afortunately, would be cosduriva to the creation of wide. spread rebelho, and these humane and co- lightened officials advised that their Majesties and the law would be fully vindicated by the execution of those immediately concerned with the atassination, allowing the less guilty to go free "to ruminate and repeat.". But the fright oned officials of Anking mide one hundred and ninety-six arrests on the day of the astastination of En-Mio, of whom we do not yet know how many have since been executed or forced to die in prison owing to tigorous treatment when put to the question in order to obtain incriminating

The students of the Tatung School at Shaobsing who were arrested at the forcible closing of that school by Prefect Kuei have also been released by command from Peking. -N. C. D. Neurs.
