LORD -BERES SFORD
Doesn't Know of Intention to Send Rep
 resentatives to China.

London, July 6.-Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, writing friend from Malta, says he has no knowledge of the intention of the government to send repre- sentatives to China, and adds:
 "I have reason to think my commercial mission to China success. And I believe my plan would have succeeded and that China would not have been broken up as she must be now, into European provinces thus creating the intensely irritating posi- tion of having spheres of influence under which it will be impossible for the powers to work together in harmony.
 'The powers, including Great Britain have by their policy completely undermined all Chinese authority, and will now them selves have to maintain law among the 40O,000,0oO of people, and provide that se- curity for life, trade and commerce which only an efficient military and police organ ization can give.
 My proposal for placing the Chinese army on the same footing as the maritime customs under officers of all natiohalities would certainly have solved a problem that will now develop in the most serious and difficult question of the century"

The hearing of this suit was postponed by order of the Government because it would result in in- convenient revelations M. Lasies was sev- eral times called to order for straying from the subject in order to indulge in attacks the Government. Finally at the request of M Deschanel President of the Chamber, the House voted a refusal to her him. This decision created an upfoar, and M. Deschanel was compelled to suspend the sitting

 M Lasies then descended from the tri- bune elbowed his way through throng of deputies and tried to strike M Waldeck- Rousseau, but some of the deputies held him back. The excitement was now in tense All the deputies were shouting at the same time, and it seemed as though a free fight would ensue at any moment when the ushers intervened and separated the bellgerent parties.
 M. Lasies, then regained the tribune In the mean while similar scenes were occur ring in the lobby. Cards and the names of seconds were exchanged between several deputies, including M. Lases and M. Odi- ton-Barrot republican. After the session had been suspended for half an hour busi ness was resumed. The deputies on return ing found M Lasies still in the tribune. M. Daschanel asked him to leave, and he re- piled by approaching M. Daschanel for not safeguarding liberty of speech. But he finally descended, and the chamber then voted shelving his motion, and quiet was restored.

 Plank in the Platform

Canton, O., July 6.-Governor. Roosevelt reached Canton today, and was driven to the Mckinley home, the yard of which and the streets adjacent were packed with peo- pie. President Mckinley was standing on the porch waiting with outstretched hands to gGeet his associate on the national ticket

 T cannot express the pleasure it has given me to see the generous welcome my fellow citizens have given to Governor Roosevelt, and I now have the pleasure of presenting him to you"
 Governor Roosevelt said: My Fellow Git izens-I thank you most cordially for the way you have come forward to greet me. l know that none of you, least of all my old comrades here will grudge my saying that I thank particularly those who wear the buttons that show they fought in the great war. Great applause).
 q cannot say how l appreciate this, con- ing as it does from the townsmen of the President, who is now in a peculiar sense my leader, and whom l shall follow and support with every ounce of strength that there is in me- And at least there is to be said for our side that we know what we believe. In Kansas City they have had a little difficulty in finding out what they believe. I see by the papers that they had some difficulty, extending finally to vote of 2 to 25 in putting in free silver. GA voice: "They have got to guess again!o Now, we believe with all our faith in dol lar worth a hundred cents. Apparently they have fifty-two per cent. of faith in forty-eight-cent dollar. I do not intend to do more this afternoon than to again thank you most cordially, and to say that l ap- preciate what this greeting means, com ing as it does from the home of the Pres ident shall try to show myself not wholly unworthy of the way in which you have met me this afternoon. dong and continued applause)
 The President and Governor then retired into the interior of the house, but the crowd was not satisfied. The demands for Mckinley were so persistent that at length the President stepped out again upon the porch A great cheer went up, which he silenced with a wave of his hand.
 'I only appear" said the President" that I may say to you that I am going to be with you most of the summer. "f'Cheers and laughter followed this remark of the President, and the crowd soon after broke up.
