From Our Own Correspondent.)

Peking. October 25,

The efforts to resume the Inter nal Peace Conterence at Shang- hai bave so far failed. Tang Shao-yi steadily declines to meet the Northern delegates. He flat- ly refuses to recognise the bona. fdes of Wang tang and scouts the latter's claim that he is in possession of all the secret treaties and loan agreements into which the Peking Government have entered, protessing to believe that Wang is attempting a trick which Tang is too wary to assist. Such suspicion is perhaps not altoget-

in unjustified view of her the fact that Wang tang is the nominee of the reactionary Anfu Club and that he was practically forced upon President Hsu for: the role of Northern delegate. Against that may be quoted the belief current in Government circles that Wang was rested with authority to make

Of course, it may rightly be argued that as no good thing "can come out of Galilee it cannot be expected on the that enlightened ideas subject of constitional govern- ment are to be looked for front greedy grasping militarists whose only thought is power in their to be used for own bands selfish purposes. Recent re- ports from Shanghai indicated that Tang Shan-yi was inclined to waver and might agree to enter into conversations with Wang I-tang, but of this we can- not be sure, and opinion in Peking is inclined to the view that both chief delegates will be changed. Tang's attitude to Wang might in part be ex- plained by his resignat on from the post of chief Southern delegate unless his terms be granted, while the news that the seven directorships are to be abolished and a real govern- ment formed at Canton with
