is current that H. E. Tuan Fang, Viceroy of the Liangkiang provinces, into be transferred to a high post in the Capital and that Excellency's successor at Nanking will probably be H. E, Yuan Sha-hsan (formerly Taotai of this port) Governor of Shantung. It is unlikely that Viceroy Tuan Fang, will go to Peking at least for another year yet; bat if he does, H. E. Yuan Sha-baun, of Shantang, has, perhaps, the best chance of any one so far known, to soceeed the Liangkiang Viceroyalty.
