ran CHINA FEARS TROOP RIOT Flees Peking and Eastern Republic Is Without Government, By Vnitrd Press PEKIXG, June 13.—President Li Yuan Hung fled from Peking to Tien Tsin this afternoon fearing an uprising by dissatisfied Chinese troops Peking, capital of northern China, is left without a government as a result. Many foreigners are entering the legations for safety. It is feared troops who have not been paid for months, will start rioting and looting. The situation in Peking is tense, with the possibility of armed revolt by the soldiers, and foreign legations are taking special precautions to protect their nationals. Deserted at a critical juncture by a majority of his political friends, President Li Yuan Hung abandoned a fight to retain office which he had kept up since his government resigned last month. General Also Resigns His flight to Tien was hastened by the resignations of Feg A'uh Siang, Christian general, commanding a loyal body of troops, and Wang Huai Ching, Peking chief of police. These resignations were refused, and it is understood to be likely the Christian commander will withdraw his and return to duty in an effort to quell the ihreatened uprising here In the meantime the treasury Is empty, and the troops can scarcely be restrained. It Is generally believed the Chang Tsso Tseng cabinet, which resigned after the trouble with the bandits, but whose resignations were not accepted, will return and function ss a government at Peking until parliament elects a successor to Li Yuan Hung. At present, chaotic, conditions exists, for the president, either in haste or deliberately, failed t<> reveal where he had left the presidential seal, without one can govern or be obeyed in China.

Foreign diplomats, upon receipt of word that all their nationals were safe, entered into negotiations to consider what penalties should be demanded from China for the outrage and what steps the government was capable of taking to safeguard foreigners against similar occurences in the future.
