Shih-kai, President, of the Chinese Re

to monarchical rule was ca

' a Parliament, and it wa? found that
, l.Pi'S repr?sentativst out of

Hankers Withheld Advance.
China's financia! affairs have become
much involved with her international
tangles. For several months the gov?
ernment has beer, endeavoring to obtain
an advance of IO,(K>0,000 taels, or about
$14.000,000 Mexican, from the quintuple
group of bankers, with the surplus from
ths salt monopoly as security.
The Chine.se did not seek this money
as an out-and-out loan, but merely as
un advance to be pal?* within two years
from the proceeds of the salt revenue.
This security is considered adequate,
an.', the bankers of the rive countrn
which made the original loan Ol
salt monopoly ?-.ere ?at first willing t..
undertake the additional advance.
However, as the monarchical go*rern
ment devoleped, there were rumors that

the request of Japan, backed by Rus-,
