the well-known hostility of the Chihli and Loyang Chiefs to

Dootor Sun occasioned by the latter's alliance with mu pei-fub aroh enemy Chang Tso-lin in the civil war of last Spring, Ta'

ao and wu having been working with the Cheng Haush Hui faction

in the South for a military unification which would exclude

Sun Yat-sen. (The connection between the Cheng Hsueh Bui

and Zuangsi military factions in the South on the one hand

and the Chihli military party in the Forth on the other hand

was explained in paragraphs three and four of Mr. Clive's

despatch No. 89 of the 3rd ultimo).

The President and the Premier (so far as the latter

had any will of his own) however, have throughout been working

for a more genuine unification scheme which would embrace Sum

Yat-sen and the Kno Min Tang, and have been in intermittent

negotiation with Doctor Sun at various times during the past

year for that purpose. The Cabinet, therefore, refused at

first to yield to the demanda of Wu and Ta'ao, which included

not only the appointment of General Shen to the governorship

of Kuangtung but also that of General Sun Ch'uan-fang to be

Tuli of Fukien, in opposition to the Kuo Min Tang forces who,

under Heu Chung-chih, had possessed themselves of the latter

province last utum, Sun Ch'uan-fang was formerly in

command of the Northern force stationed at Iohang and had been transferred thonos with his troops into Kiangai as leader of the Northern expeditionary "relief force" sant by tu P'ei-fu to expel Hsu Chung-chih and his Ano Hin Tang forose from Pukion (see paragraph thirteen of Mr.Clivefs despatch No. 89 of February 3rd). These demands of in and Te'ao if yielded to implied the granting of the Cabinet's authority to u P'el-fuḥ nominees, Shen Hung-ying and Sun Ch'uan-fang, to expel Sun Yat- een and the Zuo Min Tang from Kuangtung and Fukien by force of arms, and the issue became therefore one of the first

importance.
