CHINA RE-UNITED.

PRESIDENT'S BOLD POLIO*. ' By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. i New York, Nov. 1. j The Peking correspondent of the New j York Times reports that after the Canton Military Government cancelled the declaration of independence, the Peking ' Cabinet, on October 30, approved the issuing of a mandate proclaiming that j a union of North and South had been j effected, and ordering the Ministry of j the Interior to co-operate with the pro- ; vincial authorities in the election of a ; new Parliament based on the old elec- \ tion laws. ! The Oabinet aL=o approved of the crej ation of special courts to deal with the i case of Russians in the three Eastern ; provinces. | The press approves of the President's j bold step in abandoning peace negotia- ! tions and simply announcing that peace ! exists. ; The fact that no concessions have | been made to the revolting province? | indicates that the Government feels it- | self to be in a strong position. j Peking, Oct. 31. | The principal Kwangsi militarists j hate fled to Shanghai. ' Prior to the | flight the administrative directors of the j military Government concclled the independence of the south-western provinces, j declaring that North and South China i were re-united. i The Cantonese leaders, however, repudiate the cancellation, and Cantonese troops have entered Canton.—Renter 1 Service. / i ™-_ = _____
