THE CHINESE TROUBLE.
ROBBERS OR REBELS. A SCENE IN THE HOUSE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 20, 10.25 p.m. Pekin, May 20. There have been further executions of persons officially described as "robbers,' bu' really rebels. In the Assembly the Premier, interrogated regarding the sudden arrest of Senator Sh'itse, said that he was accused of plotting. Members denounced the arrest, and stigmatised the oppressive practices current in Pekin as worse than under the Manchus.
General Tuanchijui attempted to justify the arrest, admist loud cries of "Was this man a ronher or a rebel? Was he so dangerous that a band of soldiers, instead of tlie police, were required to arrest him? Ahe you aware that Parliament is the guardian of the liberties of the Republic?" Tuanchijau remained silent, and members cried: "The plot is fictitious. You are solely responsible." The House then adjourned.
