Peking, Nov. 3.
The, attitude of Parliament towards the nomination of Mr. Sun Pao-chi as Premier seems to be the chief topic of interest among Chinese at the Capital. It is re-orted to-day that Mr. Loo Chi an, member of the House of Re presentatives, has suggested to Mr. Sun that the latter should invite the members to a tea party and explain his intended policy prior to the day on which a vote on his nomination will be taken in the House. Mr. Loo, it appears, is the leader of " group favourable to Mr. Sun's appointment. On the other hand, another group has approached President Tsao Kun with the cdject of having Mr. Sun's nomination withdrawn. It is reported that the President would nat listen to this suggestion.
While nothing official has been made known regarding the matter, various unofficial reports indicate that attempts are being made by friends of President: Tsao to win over Marshal Tuan to the side of the Chihli Party. One report says that Gen. Chang Huai-chi, Chief of the General _Staff, has gone to Tientsin to interview Marshal Tuan who turned -a deaf ear to other mes-Bengers.—Reuter.
