The Subject Of Discus
sion by Col. Roosevelt
Al Luncheon Attended by 16
Leading nationa|ists.
Speech at GuiIdhaII Continues to
Be Press Sensation.

London, Jure 1.--Mr. Roosevelt pass
ed today quietly. He visited tn, Ma
tional Gallery during the forenoon and
haG luncheon with several men pronli-
n-nt IN the Irish nationalist party. The
former President was a guest over
night a. the country home of Freder-
ick c. Seloas.
Sixteen leading Nationalists were
present at the luncheon and Mr.. Roose-
welt had an intimate discussion of irish
affairs with them. Only two speeches
were made. one Of welcome by John
Redmond and the other a humorous
reply by the former President.
Before his departure from London
Mr.. Roosevelt will be entertained by
King George. On this occasion HIS
Majesty will receive his guest, not in
the capacity of a special ambassador
to the funeral of the late King Ed
ward, but as a distinguished visitor.
Mr. Roosevelt's speech at Guildhall
yesterday, continued today to be the
sensation of the newspapers through
out the country. The editorial COM
ments upon his startling utterances
concerning British rule in Egypt were
Influenced as a rule by partisanship.
The conservative press defends the
conclusions drawn by the American
statesman, while the Liberal papers
oppose his deductions with equal seri
BUSINESS.
But outside the questions of fact set
forth, the newspapers almost without eX-
ception challenge the propriety of for
eign guest Of the city criticising the CO.
lonial policy of the empire. OF the com
ments Of the Conservative press the fol
lowing are samples:
The Globe-"It was not the time nor the
place. nor was the ex-President the per
son to display this particular form OF
interest In the business of his hosts
The Pail Mall GaZette-"The uncon-
ventional is justified only by success. If
he prefers realities to the proprieties
where vital interests are concerned, SC
does the judgment of the British people.
The Standard-"That he should lay
hands on one of the nations private and
public political subjects seems a socia
crime not far from sacrilege, but in read
ing the speech carefully there Is found
nothing of which to complain
The Star-"Mr. Roosevelt should learr
that he is not exempt from the customs
Of civilized nations"
The Westminster Gazette 0iberal
questions the necessity and disagree!
with the conclusions of the speech.

There was Commotion among the
royal party returning to Berlin from
the annual joint review of the Berlin
and POtsdam garrisons Wednesday
when a man who had followed at a dis
tance hurled missile at Crown Prince
Frederick William. The object missed
lis mark and fell harmlessly at the
feet of a policeman. Upon investiga~
ton was found to be an ordinary tin
can and was filled with uncooked
beans. The police seized the assailant,
who proved to be a Russian named
Abraham Fierweiss, a resident of Ber-
lin. 1t is thought that he is not respon-
sible for his act. The crown prince
represented the Emperor at the re-
view, as the abscess on His Majesty's S

GOtCh Defeats
.Zbyszko Easily.

Chicago, June 1.-Frank Gotch of
Humbolt tonight successfully defended
his title as wrestling champion of the
Zby szko, the Polish champion, in straight
falls at the Coliseum. Gotch outclassed
his bulkier opponent in every department
of the game, after winning the first fall
in the phenomenal time of six and one
quarter seconds. 1t was only question
of how long the Pole could hold out
against the brilliant and varied attack
of his skilled rival.
The crowd had hardly realized the
great match had started before Referee
Dick Flemming slapped Gotch on the
first fall. The hold which sent the Pole
down was a bar and half Nelson. After
the men shook hands Gotch had stepped
back a bit and then made a fierce flying
tackle and before the Pole realized what
was happe ming his shoulders We're pinned
to the mat.
Warned by his sudden downfall, ZbyS-
Zko was more cautious and it took Gotch
y minutes and &c seconds to win the
match with a bar arm and wrist lock.
At no time was Gotch in any danger
and when the Pole would secure any ad-
vantage Gotch would quickly break his
hold and jump to his feet Gotch would
forestall his opponent at every turn and
it was worse than hopeless for the Pole
to attempt to assume the aggressive.
The result indicated that Gotch was
out of condition when he lost the handi-
