"Yung Fuh is believed by the officers
of the state department to be the same
as Sung Fuh and Inghok, mentioned

The dispatch from Minister DENLY ls
of very little importance in the way OF
furnishing Information. hut Indicates
that the American minister does not
share the views OF the other citizens In
China who think that reprlsals should
be made II Is claimed that all that
could be done by the department has
been done unless the policy of the de.
partment and the government should
be to begin hostilitles every time there
was any trouble with American citizens
in any foreign land. II In said that the
only way possible for tails government
to proceed Is through Its diplomatic
officers. the manner In which We should
require foreign government to pro-
coed in case property or lives of for

of being destroyed.
After adjournment Mr.. Gullley es-
corted me TO the floor OF the house and
introduced me TO the leading members.
afterwards found myself In an ex-
tremely handsome room, which ! sup
posed was part OF the lobby OF the
house. but Mr.. Gullley said II was the
private dining room OF his official resi-
dence. There we were Joined by Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge and Mr.. Henry
White. ex-secretary OF the United
States embassy.
AFTER leaving the speakers residence
Mr.. white took Senator Lodge and
myself to the house OF commons and
introduced us TO many of the leaders.
We were next taken to MIR. Balfour'B
room and introduced 20 him. He IL a
man OF much personal magnetism. and
lmpresses one Immediately as strlk-
ingly Intellectual. Although he does
not appear to be so. I knew he was
hurried. and 80 did not think II the
proper occasion to breach the subject OF
blmetallism.
AS Mr. Gulley had not been re-elect-
ed when first saw him, he was not in
official dress. ! made a remark on THIS
subject to him. and he said that tomcr-
row he would only be In half dress
and with half wig. as his election
would then only be half approved. on
wednesday. however, his election viii
have been fuzzy approved, and he will
wear his full official attire. All this
strikes me as strange"
Mr.. Crisp starts for Paris tonight.
and Will remain there a week.
