CHINESE CRISIS.
« ANGRY SCENE IN PARLIAMENT. MORE EXECUTIONS. (By Telegraph.—PreEe Association.) (Rec. May 20, 10.25 p.m.) Peking, May 20. There have been two further executions of persons who are officially described as robbers, but who were really rebels. In the Assembly, the Premier, Chao Ping Chun, was interpellated regarding the.sudden arrest of Senator Shiatse, who was accused of plotting. Members generally denounced the arrest, and stigmatised the oppressive practices now current in Peking, which they said were worse thdn under tho Mauchu Dynasty.' General Tuati-Chi-Jui attempted to justify the arrest amidst loud cries of: "Was this man a robber or a rebel?" "Was he so dangerous that a band of soldiers, instead of the police, was required to arrest him?" "Aro you aware that Parliament is tho guardian of the liberties of tho Republic?" Genyal Tuan-Chi-Jui was silent. Members again cried out: "The plot is a fictitious one, and you are solely responsible." The House was adjourned.
