It is reported here in well-informed circles that the acting Viceroy of the Liangklang provi: cer, Chang Chih-fung, has been ordered to return to bis former cast as Viceroy of the Liang He (Wochang). It Is believed that the reason for this importent step is that Chang has falled to raise the necessary fands to carry on the business of the most expensive vizzroyalty in China, and because no other efficient man can he fund to take over the Hu provinces pa account of the many costly and ruladus astér prises that Chang has started there but never ost upon a phylog footing. It is believed that LI Hang chang is not unlikely to get the viceroyalty of the two tive-ice provinces (despite his being a native of Ashwel) in the event of Chang vacating them, * Li's knowledge of foreign affairs would stand him in good stead la Nanking, the importance of which, in relation to foreign interconis, is dafly' growing.
