LONDON, August 20th

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH, 1913.

THE RECENT DISTURBANCE IN CHINA, Most of the London papore have refrained from any very partial comment on events in China, but I believe I am right'in stating that the general view of the public, which is more interested than might be supposed; is that the reformers of the South are not very practical and that nothing much can come out of the Republic vill a stable Central Government is established, able to impose its will on the whole of the country.

outcome of the struggle; but most of the papors are content with the inspired messages from Peking that suggest that the troops of the North are having it much their own way. A champion of Dr. Sun fat sen has, however, risen in Mr. George Rowntree, of Scarborough, a member of the well-known even firms, who writes- "If the report is correcs that the Presi dent of the Chinese Republic is asking for the surrender of Dr. Sun Yat-sen by the Japanese, it is a more serious matter than the insurrection has been. If correct, it Fan Shih-kai showing his hand as against the wishes of the elected repro- sentatives of the people.
