MANCHURIA'S ACCOUNT. OF JAPAN'S ACTION.

LI TSAI HSIN'S FUTURE PLANS.

CHINESE-GERMAN TREATY OF STRICT

EQUALITY.

General Yen Hai Shan bas recently encountered opposition in Shanai. He instructed the Financial Bureau of Suiguen, . a district in the north of the province, to raise a sum of $300,000 for the maintenance of Shansi troops in that part.

However,

his proposal was received in a very hostile manner, even to ruch an extent that a raid was made on the office of the Financial : Bureau.

Yen Hri Bhan has reported this matter to the Central Govern- ment, stating that the incident was inspired by Communista and asking that investigation should be made. He has also noted with alarm the rapid increase in the number of labour unions in Peking, which he fears may be a cause of trouble. He has con- sequently given orders for the suppresion of any union tipon which auspicion may rest.

Marabal Li Tasi. Hain has held à conversation with Feng Yu Hsiang at Nanking, after which he proceeded to the capital of Chekiang. It is as yet uncertain whether he will return to Canton in the rear future or proceed to Shanghai for further military conferences.

Germany has signed a treaty with China on a basis of strict equality of treatment. The present treaty is leading up to a“ commercial treaty which will be negotiated as soon as possible. Chang Esuch. Liang has despatched a delegation to Nanking to give a full report of Japar's recent actions in Manchuris, and to arrange for an alliance between Manchuris and the Nationalist Government.
