To the southeast of the province, another incident is reported and a place called Kuangsicheo has suffered a like fate. e irony of the thing is that the latter is the headquarters of the army that is supposed to be pacifying the country. Marshal Tang. however, is doing his best to suppress this outlawry and things might be much worse if anyone else were in power. Next Sunday and Monday, there is to be a general holiday and fetes are to' be held in celebration of his return to the province 12 months ago. There is to be a ball to which all the foreign community is invited and fireworks are to be displayed, while on the 26th there is to a general review of the troops and an intercollegiate competition. Ornamental arches are being erected al! over the city and it looks as though Marshal Tang still retains his great popularity, for all seem to be vicing with each other in doing him honour.
