At Peking

At Peking, the body of Dr. Sun Yatsen, who died a fortnight ago (TIME, Mar. 23), was removed to the Rockefeller Hospital, embalmed, transferred to the hospital chapel for a private Christian burial service.

The body was then taken to Central Park, where it will lie in state for two weeks waiting for a special casket from Moscow; it will then be interred at Nanking. Military honors were paid to the dead leader at the funeral procession. Hundreds of people, including all the Ministers of foreign powers, were present.

Meantime, ugly rumors went about Peking. General Feng Yu-hsiang, "Chinese Christian Soldier," was reported to be planning to attack the Chief Executive, Tuan Chi-jui, on the score that the latter is as corrupt as his predecessors.

Chang Tso-lia, Super Tuchun of Manchuria, was expected to attack the capital from Tientsin, because he was greatly dissatisfied with the Chief Executive. With the ex-Emperor at Tientsin, the rumor of course spread that Tuchun Chang was engaged in engineering a Manchu restoration.
