AN APPROPRIATE OCCASTOK.

LONDON, July 6.

The King laid the foundation stone of the extension of the university building in Edinburgh. After this ceremony the degree of doctor of laws was conferred on the Queen. The King, in a speech, said that at a time when the Prince Wales was receiving a universal welcome in the British Dominions it was appropriate that their Majestjes should renew their acquaintance with the great Scottish seat of learning, which, perhaps, beyond all other universities attracted to itself the aspiring youth of the Empire. He hoped that pathways to peace and prosperity would be inaugurated in the building.

PANIC IN PEKING.

DUE TO ORDER MOVING TROOPS.

PERING, July 7.

The Chinese political crisis has become more acute.

Yesterday when it was learned that Tuan Chi-jui had issued an ceder despatching two divisions of the Fron- tie: Defence Force to a position on the Peking-Hankow Railway, the panic became general in the city. The

wealthier Chinese mok refuge in the foreign hotels and the Legation quar. fer offering any price for rooms. Others crowded into trains bound" for Tientsin..

The general fear was that if Tuan Chi-jui's troops encountered those of Vu Pei-lu's the former would be de- feated and flee to Peking, looting the city.

To-day, it is reported that Chang Tso-lin persuaded Tuin Chi-jui not to mové troops.

The more probable reason for in- action is that Wu Pei-fu's forces are already at Fengtai,

The Cabinet reconstruction has been delayed as the Anlu Party is bribing members of Parliament to stay away from the House, making a quorum impossible.

It is stated that this 'assistance was sought be- cause, otherwise, work would have had to be curtailed, which would have entailed a large increase of unemploy- mient.

Reccht statistics, show that the dodal number of working men and worden in Osat the end of last year was newly a quarter of

million, and it is sturated that 5,000 we at present unemployed...

A treasury memorandum gives interesting comparisons between the actual expenditure in 1913-14 and the estimates of 1919-20. For instance, the National debt is given a £24,500,000 and £335,000,000 respectively. The Fighting Services are shown at £76,027,000 and £269,170,000; the "Cavil Services at £55,005,000 and £555,526,000; the Revenue Departments at £29,460,000 and £61,280,000; andthe gross expenditure, at £207,817,000. 4 It is pointed out that the 1920-21 estimates contain erpenditure of 1341,613,000, including 2124,235,000, for war pensions. The balance is mainly in grants, subsidies, and advances for wirich there was no provision: : 20:10 30 per cent. bejes their highest before the war.
