Peking, April 30.
In view of the threatening aspect of the Tientsin conference, rumours of the fall of the Chin Cabinet are rife in various circles here, but official opinion takes the view that such is beyond the range of possibility. The resignation of the Minister of Finance was received this morning by the President, who will, it is expected, accept it. It is said that Mr. Pan Fu will be his successor, but will remain in the capacity of Acting Minister.—Eastern News Agency.
