ATTACKS THE GOVERNMENT.

Beresford Denounces Its Policy iu
China I'm House OF Commons.C
London, June 12.--While the house
IF commons was in committee of sup
ply on the foreign office vote yesterday
Rear Admiral Beresford delivered a
scathing criticism of the governments
policy OF '"drifting'' in China, during
which he said the government had de-
ceived the people and allowed the open
door policy TO be finally killed by per-
hitting Russia TO interfere In a purely
commercial enterprise like the Shang-
hal railroad. The admiral then pro-
posed that the four countries most in
terested. Great Britain, the United
States, Japan and Germany, go to
China and offer 10 take over and or
ganlze her army, adding that IL Great
Britain took the lead he was sure the
United States would follow.
Parliamentary Secretary OF Foreign
Office Frederick replied, pointing out
The difficulties In meeting Lord Beres-
lords desire that Great Britain take
control OF the government of China,
adding that he thought his lordshlp
was ~oversanguine in believing the
United States would follow the lead of
Great Britain. Germany, he contin-
ued, had great interests in China, but
she had q thousand times greater in
terests In Europe.
Continuing, Mr.. Frederick said: sup
10 the present the treaty Of Tien-Tsin
has been observed. No door has been
shut"
"As regards the Yang-Tse we could
send gunboats drawing six feet of wa
ter n thousand miles from its mouth.
Although we are not prepared to un-
dertake policing this province, consti-
tuting one-third OF China, we are pre-
pared to control the Yang-Tse in
order tp protect our trade, and il Is an
essential part Of the governments poll
icy that In changes occurring in China
the protection OF our trade was as
sured.
although II cannot undertake to
relieve the tsung II yamen OF the re-
sponsibility Of governing China, tho
government L. not prepared to let her
trade suffer or pass into other hands.
Therefore 1t Is proposed 10 take the
following steps: With regard to tho
Yaug-Tse we shall hold the Chinese
government responsible for Its under
taking 10 ALLEVIATE TO any other power
the provinces bordering thereon, and
that connection should be made with
the Burmah railway. The government
will also see, whenever it is desired,
that the force on the Yang-Tse Is sufi-
clently strong to protect our mer-
chants and our trade"
Mr.. Broderick also referred 10 the
Anglo-Russian agreement as being a
happy augury and q fair compromise,
and he doubted II the demand for a
Russian railway connection to Picking
was ever made, but IN effect the gov
eminent in no spirit of jealousy, but
simply in the interests Of China, must
declare If the demand Is pressed that
il will be forced To advise the Chinese
government against n concession cal
culated to transfer the government Of
Picking TO another power.

CALLING GUN QUELLs MOB.
One Man Killed at Trial or Tom
Baker I'm Kentucky.


Baker I'm Kentucky.
Manchester, KY, June 13.-During
thedrial of Tom Baker Saturday there
were serious disturbances and one
man, name unknown, was killed and
several wounded. The militia quelled
the disturbance by dispensing the
crowds when the gatling gun was
brought out.
For days the court has been hearing
arguments In the motion for change Of
venue and the motion was granted,
~whereupon court adjourned. Tom
Baker, the defendant, was still out on
bail, and as he was leaving the court
house with the crowd he was shot
dead. 10 is said that the shot came
from q rife In q window of the sher-
IFS Office, but that report may he due
to the fact that Baker was charged
with the murder of VIII White, a
brother OF Sheriff White. But all adj
vices agree that Tom Baker dropped
dead from a shot as he was passing
the sheriff's place.
The militia Immediately surrounded
the body Of Tom Baker and protected
it and his friends, but in doing so they
were compelled to bring their gatling
gun n disperse the crowd.

APPEAL OF COLORED MEN.
Afro.A Derican Council Issues an
Address to Southern States.

nuuTCb5 10 5OututFh StuhCbs
Washington, June 13.-The Afro
American council of the United States
has issued an appeal to the governors,
Legislators, and judicial officers OF the
southern states ito prevent lawless-
ness and to secure to all citizens the
protection TO which they are entitled
under the laws"
After reference to the burning of
Sam Hose, the lynching of Lige Strick
hand and the political riots in South
Carolina and North Carolina the APP
peal says:
Since the first day Of January there
have been twenty-eight cases of lynch
ing in the south, and every one Of
them colored. This is not only an I'M
Warranted outrage upon them, but
demoralizing to the white race. 1t ter
,~roriZes and unmans the former. 1t
familiarizes the latter with lawless.
ness and crime, creating in them con-
tempt for lawful authority and desire
for mob rule. II Is hurtful and de-
structivc TO the best interests OF both.
1--WE deplore, condemn, and de-
nounce In unmcasured terms crime by
whomsoever committed, and desire the
apprehension and legal punishment OF
every criminal. All we ask Is that the
regular machinery of justice he I'M
ployed and the accused given n fair
and impartial trial-the course pur-
sued with white men.
"In most of the southern states your
people are in a large majority, and in
all of them you are in absolute control.
Every branch Of the government-eN-
ecutive, Legislative and judiclal-is in
your hands. The judges are all white
men and the jurors are almost eXclu-
sively composed Of white men. Colored
offenders have little chance OF escape
when guilty OF a petty offense, and, II
guilty of a serious crime, their con
vlction II certain. This fact Ia known
Of all men. There is, therefore, not
the slightest excuse or justification for
q resort to mob violence against col
orad criminals"
