Kwangsi we have received repeated telegrams and letters from our fellow-provincials there who all unite in saying that Governor Wang is reported to be engaged in borrowing troops outside to invade our province. The day be. fore yesterday a certain newspaper alluded to this also and now we have also received a jelegram from Tokio that the borrowing of foreign troops and foreign money by Go: vernor Wang was already an accomplished fact. As this not only concerns the whole province of Kwangsi but also threatens the partition of the whole Empire, and it is easy to foresee that as soon as foreign troops enter our territories we cannot, expect to see Kwangs returned to the Government, as a whole we have decided upon inviting all who are of the same mind as ourselves, no matter from. what pro- vince of the Empire, to meet at Chang Su-he's Gardeos this afternoon, the 25th Apríl (Satur. day), at one o'clock.

His Lordship:-That is my present opinion. Mr. Slade I do not think it is very material. His Lordship-I have indicated to you what I think at present..
