PEKING NOTES.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
TEKING, July 27th.
POLITICAL STAGNATION.
Political stagnation prevails in Peking. The Government is afraid to do anything lest it provoke the hostility of the extrem- ists assembled in force in Shanghai, and discussions rage over the various appointments yet to be made and the positions to be secured for the patriots who helped to maintain the Republic at cost to themselves. It is, tolerably certain now

But, people, with whom they have little in apart from these appointments and the sympathy, while, on the other hand, if | discussions thereamat, nothing practical: they are victorions, it is by no means is being accomplished. This inauination improbable that they will get beyond is a real danger to the county, and control.

Tuan Chi City must surely be anathematising then the Premier, selected Chow Tsz Chi fate which has involved them in such a Minister of Finance, and President. Li whirlpool of strife.
Yuan Hung endorsed the appointment.. Yet a few weeks later we find them sign- ing a mandate for the arrest and punish- ment of this gentleman. That is indica- tive of vacillation on the part of the present Administration. Money is ur- gently needed to carry on the govern ment, but none is forthcoming. When Chen Chin Tao became Minister of Finance three or four weeks ago there was not a cent in the treasury. Since then nothing has been added. Yet, strange to tell, the Government continues to make shift with nothing. The salaries for Jast month were not paid, Now it is near the end of another month, and officials will have to be placated...
