THE NEW CABINET IN PEKING.

What People Say..

The overhauling of the Cabinet: has come at last and has been confirmed by Presidential man- Įdate, says Mr. Rodney Gilbert, writing to the North China Daily News from Péking on the 16th inst. The high authorities and their various organs announce this with much satisfaction, as though a solution to a grave [problem had been reached, and seem to expect the populace to rejoice. They therefore profess great irritation at the prompt verdict rendered by the majority of the Chinese papers, by foreign- era generally and by Chinese population of Peking at large. It is simply taken for granted in all quarters that the Japanese have regained control of the Govern- ment, that Chang Chih-tan and his friends, who have been advocating? a return to Japanese patronage, have won a decided victory and that Japanese money is in sight.
