ANOTHER PEACE CONFERENCE MUDDLE.
Shanghai, April 30. Yesterday morning all the Southern delegates went to the German Club for the Conference, but no Northern delegates arrived until one hour later, when Kong Cheu-kit and Wong Kut-mun arrived. These two went away soon afterwards owing the non-arrival of Chuk Kai-kim. The Southern delegation felt much surprised and waited until eleven o'clock. Still no Northern delegates strived and they, therefore, left the Club. In the afternoon the Southern delega. tion met at Tong Shao-yi's residence to discuss how to deal with the Northern delegates.
