Ministers at Peking?

Chang Pei-lan's Sponsor.

It is now stated that Chang Pej-fun, son- in-law of Li Hung chang, whose prospect. of returning to official life was noted in these columns recently together with a sketch of his disreputable career, really recommended to the Empress Dowager by the notorious friend of Kang Yi, Lu Chun- lin. The fact of having such a sponsor casily proves the sort of man Chang Pei-lun is-even if we had no previous record of the man before

Another Special Ambassador. It is reported from Suuchow. that acting Governor Nich Chich-kuei of that city, who was recently promoted to be substantive Governor of Hupel, may not go to Wuchang after all, as A report from Peking states that Prince Ching and Li Hungchang have selected Governor Nich as Special Ambassador to Great Britain lo apologise for the troubles in the North, and are said to have recommended Governor Nick to the Throne for the post.

Disturbing Reports. Reports are coming from Chinese who are often well-informed that the acceptance by the Empress Dowager of the Peace Protocol is only a blind, and that a large, Chinese force is being sent to Taiyuanfu to oppose an expected Allied expedition.

Proposed Military Commandant of Tientsin.

It is reported that General Chang Kao-yuan one of Governor Yan Sih-kai's military officers in Shantung, has been recommended by Li Hung-chang to the Throne to be the future Military Commandant of Tientsin when the anticipated withdrawal of the Allied forces takes place. it may be interesting to aur readers to know that General Chang Kau-yan was the Commandant of the Chinese forces at Teingtan and Kianrhou when these places were taken possession of by the German naval

forces.

The Chuchou Massacre. The delay that has accurred in settling the above matter between the British authorities and the Chinese Government; according to a reliable correspondent at Hangchow, has been productive of much harm to British prestige. In the first place such delay means "fear" in the eyes of the Chinese and shows that the British dare not push their claims for the decapitation

It so happened that when the by force of arais reigning in the international British authorities first charged the Chickiang Papal city of Rome. high provincial authorities with murder and demanded the execution of the chief instigator and ringleaders of the Chuchou massacre, the mandarins of the whole country were trembling as to the fate awaiting them for thair misdeeds, owing to the summary execution of the bigh officials of Chibli province at Pant ing; and the Chinese Government was willing to carry out every wish of the Foreign Powers as to the punishment of guilty officials. But through the delay in pushing these and other demands, the startling effects of the Pacting executions have gradually faded. Every native in Shanghai and Chekiang knows that Yung Ch'uan's head has been demanded by the British Authorities as well as the head of Pao Ho-nien, Thotai of Chuchou, and a number of others, but owing to the delay and indifference of the Indian troops knocked spots out of every one The Sinking of the "Kowshing British authorities in pushing their claims, it is except, perhaps, the Japanese; and we did freely stated amongst the mandarins and people quite as well as they did.
