AFFAIRS IN PEKING.
PA
Since the dissolution of Parliament by President Yuna Shih- Kai, the chief feature of the situation in Peking has been a feeling of uncertainty and confusion as to the future. Nobody seems to know precisely what the intentions of the leading men of the country are; and, if we are to judge from all that we read, a deplorable conflict of view prevails in official circles. When the Provisional Constitution was framed and for a brief period put into operation, there was at any rate the satisfaction of knowing that the Administration was put in a deficite basis, but since the calling in- to being of the Central Aministrative Conference the atmost speculation has been arouse 1 as to what body will eventually dis charge the administrative functions of the Government. It was at first thought that in the new Provisional Constitution China had secured an orgau which suited hør needs to a nicety, but it is now evident that the whole underlying foundation of the scheme is to be "discarded.
