WILL BE FOR TEN WEEKS Chacs Reigns in Peking City, With No Real Head of tho Government in Evidence. London.’—The Daily Telegraph’s Pe king correspondent says he Is re liably informed that Yuan Shi Kai has practically arranged a ten weeks armistice with the rebel generalissi mo. This will permit Yuan to go im mediately to Peking and form a cabi net. He will also attempt to soive the present confusion. Peking—Yuan' Shi Kai still declines to accept the premiership, although assured of the support of the national assembly and General Chaug, in com mand of tbe Lanchau troops. Both ; the assembly and General Chang: I however, insist that when the parlla i ment is elected the premier shall be chosen by that body. In the meantime affairs here are 1 in a state of chaos. No tangible head ; of the government is visible. The gov ernment urgently needs funds and i hopes that the Franco-Belgian loan will be forthcoming, to enable the ! military operations and the adminis I traion to be carried on. The inter national group refuses to supply war funds. The government is urging tbe group to advance money in order to allay the threatened financial and public deadlock in Peking, as it Is feared that the noncirculation ol money will cause serious hardships tc the coolies and the lower classes, which possibly might lead to locai disturbances. To this the group is inclined to ac cede, although foreign commercial In terests at Peking are inconsiderable The question of tangible security ap pears to be almost insurmountable, j but the negotiations continue. The j group insists that the funds be used j for the purpose stated and suggests that, if completed, the loan be hand- ' ed over to the local Chinese Chamber i of Commerce, as was done at Shang- j hai in the recent crisis. The third division of the army sta i tioned at Shang Hiing Fu is under or- < ders to proceed to Lanchau, the gov ernment evidently hoping that the presence there of a loyal division would have a salutary effect on Gen- j eral Chang’s men. The transference ' of this division is now going on and the attitude of the men is eagerly awaited, as it will probably turn the scales in north China. Elsewhere in the north, excepting in Peking, the soldiers generally sympathize witn . the Lanchau movement. A REIGN OF TERROR I Victims Are Unmercifully Slaughter ed in Their Own Homes.
