A striking appointment is that of Liang. Chichas, the

Today's newspapers strongly condemn the appointment of Tuan Chih-kwei, asking why it was necessary to appoint a Viceroy to a post which is no longer under Govern ment control, and still more why it was necessary to appoint a man whose disreput, able association with Tsal-chen created a national scandal.

INTERESTING EXTRADITION QUESTION. An interesting question of extradition has arisen in connection with the flight of the Yunnan Customs Taolai with one million taels to Hongkong, such moneys being pledged to the service of the foreign loans. It has yet to be settled to whom he shall be extradited, to the Central or the Revolu- tionary Government, and to whom the money shall be delivered?

AMERICAN IN COMMAND.

The Revolutionary Committee have now summoned Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and he will shortly arrive in Shanghai and take direc tion of affairs. I may add that all rumours as to his whereabouts which have recently appeared in the Press are incorrect. The first act of the Revolutionary Committee will be to set up a military Government, and in order to strengthen the military side of their work they will place their staff under the direction of anable American, General Homer Lea, who, as the author of "The Valour of Ignorance," is well known to a wide circle of readers.

General Homer Lea has already been

engaged in a military capacity in North China, and is intimately acquainted with the aims and theories of the reformers. The originality and courage of his work in "The Valour of

" Ignorance

point to the fact that the Chinese reformers have chosen their military adviser well. For some time pas: Gefferal Lea has been making a special study of the defences of the British Empire, and we shall probably have a work from his pen on this subject next spring, unless his duties in China are too absorbing to permit him to complete it."

The plans of the Chinese reformers have undergone some modification in the last lew years, and, although it is still true ther do not propose to set up another monarchy in China, their schemes for a republican form of government are by no means as democratic as has been represented. Their scheme of political evolution at present falls into three periods.

PERIOD OF MARTIAL LAW.

First there will be a period of Martial, Law, and under this the administrative abuses and exactions will be abolished. In regions where the revolution has been peace- fully accomplished the local administration will be provided.

Among the first tasks which the reformers set themselves are the abolition of the queue, footbinding, the use of opium, domestic slavery, and feng-shui (geomantic superstition).
