Provincial Assembly Offering to Diesolve Government in Fay-our of Peking Peking, July 4.
President Li Yuan-hung received a telegram to-day, signed by all the members of the Ganton Provincial Assembly, proposing the abolition of the Canton Government in favour of the Central Government.—Reuter.
Peking, July 5.
The Canton Provincial Assembly's telegram has aroused very wide interest in Peking. Various public bodies, including the educational associations and representatives of the United Chambers of Commerce, have passed a resolution to telegraph to Dr. Sun Yat-sen expressing their appreciation of Dr. Sun's meritorious services in protecting the Law, but adding that, since the Old Parliament has been reinstated the time has come to dissolve the! transitional Government and abolish the provisional Presidency.
According to telegrams from Canton, chaos continues to reign there. Dr. Sun Yat-sen remains at Whampoa and is endeavouring to reunite the scattered elements still supporting his cause, but there is no leader able to unite Dr. Sun's} followers while General Chen Chiunganing has given orders to oppose General Hsu Chung-chih's passage to the South.
Members of Parliament continue to arrive and another 30 Senators would give a quorum to that House.—Reuter.
