SOVIET REGIME.

SENSATIONAL RUMOURS OF COLLAPSE DISCOUNTED.

TROUBLE IN SIPERIA,

LONDON, October 13.

The sensational rumours which have been current in the past few days regarding anti-Bolshevik outbreaks throughout Russia have not receiv- ed any confirmation from official sources. It is wise, therefore, to take them somewhat sceptically at present in view of previous stories of the impending collapse of the Bolshevik regime. Nevertheless, it seemsa beyond doubt that the Soviet is encountering trouble in Siberia, for, according to a Helsingfors message, the Bolshevik paper Proods admits that over a thousand persons were arrested in various towns in Siberia for complicity in a plot to blow up the bridges on the railways, kill Communist leaders; and organise peasant revolts. The leaders of the conspiracy are declared to be ex-officers of Koitchak's and Semenoff's armies.

Sixteen principal delegares will repre- sent these four nations, filė Mr. Frederick W. Stevens, the resident" representative of the American group "at Peking, will also attend.

The agenda invokes a wide discus sion of China's general requirécents for currency reform, development of railway transportation, with a possible extension of the Hu-Kuang project; the degree of supervision by the Con sortium representatives of expendi- ture of the proceeds of the loans: stipulations regarding political stabi- lity to be required before loans are granted, including the disbanding of “ standing armies, and the granting of part of the loan proceeds to South China, etc..

The requirements are that the surplus of the Salt Gabelle, Custom duties and other income shall be pledged as guarantee for the repay ment of the loans.

The Consortium will consider ap- plications for membership from bank- ing groups of other nationalities.

SELLING A WIFF.

LAW-IN JAPAN.

REJECTED HUSBAND'S "VIOLENCE.

Cases were reported occasionally in England down to a generation or 50 ago of men selling their wives. It occurred only among the mosi „de- graded classes, and when the wife consented to give herself to the pur chase it was probably with the idea -that" a man who had proved his bona Tides to the extent of hall-z-crown or so was at any rate better than a worth- less husband. The legal effect of the sake was confined to its preventing the husband having any recourse to law it he subsequently took it úpons himself to become jealous, but it did - nothing in the way of dissolving the legal bond. If the Japanese papers are to be trusted, the law is differ- ent in Japan, remarks the Japan Chronicle. Kokusai forwards - the translation, of a story of a man who, because he was hard up, sold his wife To a brothel for Y200. An artist who frequented the place some time after paid off the brothel-keeper and took the woman out, living with her as his, wife. Then the husband came back, and "wanted, the, vile again....... He up- peated to the police about it, but the police told him that he had m-claim. So apparently the sale of a wife is a legal and binding transactionin Japan. The rejected husband mani- fested his affection is the usual nians ner of his kind with a kitchen knife. or some such weapon. Both his vic tims were very seriously injured,
