DR. WANG CHUNG-HUI LIKELY TO STAY

Cabinet Crisis Considered Over:

Wu Pei-fu's Support Said to Be Assured Peking, Oct. 13.

Having tided over the financial difficulties of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is stated semi-officially, the Cabinet will probably resign en bice shortly as a matter of form-' ality, so that a new Cabinet can' be submitted to Parliament, which has, resumed sessions since the Cabinet was formed. It is unofficially stated, however, that Dr. Wang Chung-bui does' not desire to carry on and that Dr. W. W. Yen has been offered the Premiership. If he again declines the post it will be offered to General Chin Yung-peng. There seems to be no doubt that General Wu Pei-fu! wants Dr. Wang to carry on and: the question seems to rest with Dr. Wang himself.—Reuter.

Peking, Oct. 14.

The Cabinet resigned en bloc yesterday evening. The Ministers did not attend the Cabinet to-day. Mr, Wu Pei-hung submitted his; resignation as Chief Secretary to the Cabinet"yesterday, but retains the Director-Generalship of Telegraphs.—Reuter.

The Cabinet's resignation was announced in last week's issue.

Peking, Oct. 16.
