Tientsin, April 29.
The telegrams, which have been despatched by Tuchuns Lu Yung-hsiang, Li Hou-chi, Chi Hsieh-yuan, and Chen Kuang-yuan to the three Inspector-Generals in reply to the latters' circular telegram, requesting the approval of the former as regards the resolution adopted at the Tientsin Conference, are very lengthy ones and point out the impracticable nature of each clause of the resolution.
_dn this connexion, a well informed person states that though the Tientsin Conference was to all appearance fairly harmonious, the truth is that whenever General Chang Tso-lin made any proposition, General Tsao Kun attempted to shirk his responsibility, with the result that no question could be brought to any concrete conclusion whatever, and that in view of the close relations between Wang Chuan-yuan and Tsao Kun, the reply telegrams above mentioned from all the Tuchuns in Middle China may be regarded as an _impeachment of General Chang Tso= lin, who has now fallen into an almost isolated position.—Eastern News Agency.
