BUENOS AIRES. August 6.-Presi-
dent Yrigoyen is confronted by a
sudden political crisis which seems to
threaten him with the loss of the con-
troll of congress. This crisis, which
has come upon the beginning of the
electoral campaign which will end in
the election of a new president next
March, has resulted in congressional
deadlock. Sessions of congress Thurs
day and yesterday were without a
quorum and some observers express
the belief that the situation will con-
tinue Indefinitely unless the president
yields to his political opponents, or
some compromise is reached.
The trouble grew out of demand
on the president by a majority Of
congress for an explanation of his
failure to apply the provisions OF
the homestead law enacted last year.
President Yrigoyen replied in a sharp
message that he did not recognize the
right of congress to question his mo-
tfves for not carrying out the law.
Reading of this message on Wednes-
day provoked a storm of resentment
in congress, even radical deputies.

have the message referred to a COM
mittee, whereupon the conservatives
and socialists left the chamber. an
nouncing they would not return until
an opportunity was given for immedi-
ate discussion. Eight radicals also
left the chamber. which could not pro-
ceed with business because of the
lack Of a quorum.
Political observers see in the sit
uation the first indication of the con-
summation of. plans for a combina-
tion of socialists and conservatives,

ciples. to bring about the defeat of

His troops captured the town, but
their leader passed away that

that the Chinese had felt for Gen.
Ward in life they demonstrated by
the honors they paid him after his
death and by the monument they
erected to his memory at Sung

of old Cathay they have thus i'm
mortalized him:
