PARIS, June 10, M. Millerand's message was read in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon by Francois Marsal and in the Senate by M. Ratier, Keeper of the seals. In the course of the message 'M. Millerand declared that he had faithfully kept the solemn engagement he had made before the country and refused to desert his post. He called on Parliament to respect the constitution..

The message says: "You will respect the constitution if you disregarded it. If it was intend ed henceforth that arbitrary action by the majority could compel the President of the Republic to resign for political reasons, the President of the Republic would only be a plaything in the hands of parties and you will assist me to avert such a formidable .danger."

Dangerous councillors are striving in party interest to secure that the new Parliament opens with a revolutionary act but the Chamber will refuse to follow them."

"Faithful to its traditions the Senate will wish to remain as it has always been in the gravest conjunctures, the defender of the constitution."

SHORT LIVED GOVERNMENT.

The new Marsal Government has declared that it is only formed to enable Parliament to pronounce itself constitutionally and therefore submits no programme. It asks Parliament to decide whether constitutional laws shall remain intangible and above party politics, or whether it disapproves of the principles laid down in the President's message which were the basis of the constitution.

In their second innings Yorkshire were I run for no wicket and this morning needed 56 runs for victory but Tyldesley (R.) who took 6 wickets for 18 and Parkin 3 for 15, dismissed them for 33...

(Reuter probably meant Yorkshire required (in the morning) 56 to tie and 57 to win. Ed. China Mail.]
