SETTLEMENT OF THE PEKING

SCHOOL STRIKE.

SALT SURPLUS AS SECURITY FOR PAYMENTS,

The school strike at Poking was settled on July 18th except for formal exchange of notes between the Ministries of Fin ance and Education. This was assured when the Joint Council of Teachers accepted the proposals of the mediators, with the request that a statement that had been made verbally be put inte writing

The poias raised by the teachers at the Joint Council meeting, and transmitted by them through the chairman to the mediators, related to the use of the Salt surplus as the security for the $2,000,000 in bonds which was offered as a guarantee for the school payments. The teachers had been informed verbally that the Salt surplus for the thirteenth and fourteenth years of the Republic, would be used for this purpose. In the docu- ment containing the proposed terms of settlement, however, no mention was made of a specific security for these bands. The Chairman suggested that the teachers would consider it sufficicat if the media tors would add a clause to the document

covering the verbal asurance which had been given, or would write a supple imentary letter on the point.

After discussing the matter at length the mediators, instead of doing this, wrote a note to the acting Minister of Finance, to by transmitted through the acting Minister of Education, requesting him to give a formal reply to the Ministry of Education stating the specific years and months during which the Salt surplus would be set aside as the security for the $2,000,000 in bonds.

On receipt of a satisfactory reply the strike would be declared åt an end.

DEFEATED WARLORD DENOUNCES PEKING. SAYS PEKING POWERLESS TO UNIFY COUNTRY.

The Canton Times says:- In his telegram tendering, his resigna tion, War-Lord Lu Yung-ting recently defeated by the Cantonese troops de nounces the Peking Government for not coming to his aid with military supplies

and funds with the result that he was. forced to flee for safety. The war-lord charges the Peking Government of being faithless, for having enticed him to open attack upon the Caritonese which was similar to stirring up a hornet's nest, and then leaving him stranded without sending him reinforcements, arms, am. munitions and funds.

The telegram also mentions the case of Gneral Ho Feng-lia of Shanghai with holding the munitions that were sent on board a Japanese steamer by the Peking Government for Kwangsi.

Since Peking Governglia, who is only a sub- dare not to punish General Ho ordinate military officer, for his officious ness in interfering with the transporta tion of munition by the Peking Govern men. War-Lord Lu Yung ting believes that the Peking Governbent is unquali- fied and powerless in its attempt to unify the whole country,

BOY'S REMARKABLE RECOVERY.

SPLEEN RUPTURED IN Ä QUARREL.

A boy's remarkable recovery from an injury, was mentioned at the Magis tracy, before Mr. A. Dyer Ball, on Saturday, when a date was fixed, a week hence, for the trial of his assailant, who had narrowly escaped a charge of auslaughter. A month ago, two boys shovelling coal at Kowloon Dock had a quarrel and one hit the other with a shovel. The victim was knocked sense- less and at the Kwong Wah Hospital, to which he was removed with all speed. it was found that his spleen had been ruptured The surgeons did all they could for him but they never expected him to recover, and his dying deposition was taken. However, the boy made un unexpected and rapid recovery, and Inspector Aris told the Magistrate, on Saturday, that the boy would be able to leave hospital in a week's time.

RESTORING

ENEMY

PROPERTY IN CHINA.

in connexion with its recrot telegram to the provinces under the control of the Central Government, the Enemy Property Bureau has received replies from Nan- king, Anking, Teintain, Wuchang and Fukien, saying that the instructions of the Bureau are being carried out by the restoration of the property of former enemies to the original owners.

With regard to a statement issued by the British Foreign Office, referring to the position of Mr. Lenox Simpson, Dr. Tyau, Counsellor of the Waichiaopn, has informed Beater's representative as fol Iowa:

Mr. Simpson's present position is statistician to the President's office in the Republic of China. He is, however, addressed as 'Kuwen,' meaning "adviser." By courtesy, he is often officially so addressed.

"During this summer, Mr. Simpson was entitled to a vacation, and taking advantage of this, he proposed to visit both America and Europe, and asked
