NORTHERN GOVERNMENT DISCUSS PARTY PROBLEMS.

TO "CARRY ON" AGAINST MARSHAL FENG. DESIRE TO PLACATE GENERAL TANG.

HANKOW-NANKING CONFERENCE PREPARATIONS.

DR. C. C. WU TO REPRESENT NANKING...

FENGTIENESE DEMAND ALLEGIANCE ' FROM SHANSI'S GOVERNOR.

The Fengtience, elated by their recent successes, have been discussing their Party problems" in Peking. They evidently soon decided that it was essential that Marshal Feng should still be regarded as their chief enemy and that hostilities should con tinue to be directed against him. They likewise determined that the time was opportune to inform Shansi's Tupan that the present situation, necessitated his "allegiance" to Peking, sad that his display of loyalty to the Kuomintang was offensive to the Fengtienese. Shansi's "Model" Governor was given three days to amend his ways, also to withdraw his troops from South Chihli. The Hankow Moderates," despite transparent willingness on their part, have not yet been able to do anything definite with regard to fixing a date for the conference between themselves and their erstwhile Kuomintang colleagues, recently of Nanking and now apparently of Shanghai. Nanking's Government" have not yet, it would seem, fully recovered their equilibrium after the stunning blow administered to them by the Northern Army and the unexpected action of their military hero, Chiang Kai Shek. It would appear that there is some truth in the rumours that Chinng is contemplating a trip abroad at an early date.

Judging by the news to hand-or rather the lack of it- hostilities, even on the Yangtze, are practically at a standstill between the North and South. Both sides seem at present to he in a state of exhaustion."

LOCAL INFORMATION.

On enquiry yesterday at the local French Consulate-General we were informed that the French authori ties had to take action because of the acts of violence that had occur- red.

Of the sentences imposed on 57 persons, 48 are Annamites. the remainder being Chinese. Chimese and Annamites of the better class did not participate in the disorders. It appears that the trouble arose

because of the fact that Chinese workmen are paid a higher wage

than the Annamites.

Business Affected. Local Chinese business firms, trading with Haiphong and Indo- China, have decided to hold up all cargo in transit for Haiphong, while further shipments are suspended for the present until further news is received. It is still feared, despite the announcement that order has been restored, that Chinese passen- gers would meet with trouble on going ashore. Several Chinese business men going back to Hai phong have postponed their depar

ture.
